Chapter 2: Under the table deals in the Underworld

Calliope: Coincidently in the underworld a certain evil god was back from the dead.

Thalia: A Nasty old flame if I do say so…*shiver*

Calliope: He was already trying to create a new plot to destroy his old enemy Hercules…

Thalia: Oh what a nasty thought.

In the underworld...

"Ugh all this slime. This soul stuff is just …ugh." Hades said trying to peel away the liquid slime off of his body from his ride with the souls.
After a minute of wiping himself off, his hair of fire grew back into a blue flame. He recollected being flushed down that spiral of dead human souls. Disgusting! He watched them moan and grab at his ankles as he shoved with them off with balls of fire. Charon better get him back to his throne at once. And Pain and Panic? Where have they been? He looked over to see his three headed dog, and threw him a large piece of meat from beneath the bench of the boat.

…

"Eh Pain?"

"Yea?"

"Don't you think it's a little lonely or b-b-bored here without Hades?"

"Meh, a bit."

"You don't think he'll ever come back do you?"

"Only IF he can get outta all of those slimy, disgusting, souls."

"Yes. IF is good."

"Yes IF is a wonderful word isn't it boys" A third voice said.

The two demons look over to see two yellow eyes looking at them from the darkness. Hades emerged to see the two looking up at him.

"Your highness-ness." Pain said, bowing over.

"You're back?" Panic said.

"OF COURSE IM BACK!" Hades screamed at them. "Now how has…."

He looked over to the soul count. He remembered it last at 5000000100. It was only at 50000000150.

"What exactly has been going on since I …ahem left?"

"Well, uh...uh…" Panic answered. "You've been banished from Olympus."

"Yea, and the Fates can't visit you anymore either!"

"B-by the order of Zeus."

"Oh wonderful, and have either one of you two even been doing ANYTHING around here? You know the odd monster? Helping me get revenge on that dumb hunk of muscle Hercules? Or stupid little Nut-Meg?" He said flaming a red colour.

"Did you?"

"Did you?" They said to each other.

"Ugh." He said massaging his forehead. "Why am I not surprised?"

"We'll isn't their some way that you can make another deal with Meg?" Panic asked.

"Not when she's under Wonder boy's watch…wait. Deal. Hmm. Deal eh?" Hades said to himself.

"What?" Panic asked.

"Anyone the remember the last thing I said to Herc?"

"Oh, oh I know… YOU'RE A GOD?" Pain said.

"Ugh. No. The last deal I made?"

"Oh, oh you said something about 'you get her out she goes…" Panic started

"and you stay'!" Pain finished.

"Bingo! So under our deal I should have Hercules spinning around in a river of death."

"But you can't! He's still part God!" Pain said.

"Hmm how can I get past these obstacles…since I can't deal with the fates anymore because of oh high and mighty Zeus? Hmm..." Hades thought to himself.

"You have something better than the fates." A female voice chimed out.

"Hmm?" Hades said looking up. "Who are you?"

"Don't tell me you've forgotten me already?" A female human walked out from the darkness. She had long black flowing wavy hair, and brown eyes and red lips with a curvy yet fit body. She wore a one shouldered dress that connected to a band that ran around the top. Her dress was red and snugged her features, and with a gold band than ran under her bust line. Her dress even had a slit that led half way up her leg.

"Hmm, Hmm" He laughed. "Melaina, you've come back."

"Not for just anything though. You think I'd come back just for another petty deal with you?"

"Well if you wanted something enough…" He looked at her with sly eyes.

"I'll catch you a deal, but my souls not involved this time blue boy."

"Oh and what might you have to offer Melly my sweet."

"Save the sweet talk, I have info on your boy Hercules that you may wanna hear."
