Momo & Iolaus
A Hercules story with a Symphonia mix.
Chapter Four
Salmoneus was walking down the road of some random town thinking to himself out loud.
"Man, I sure wish I could think of a new way to make a nice, fast dinar."
He walked faster as he thought to himself, not paying any attention to where he was going.
*POW*
Salmoneus had just walked into a very tall man with blue long hair and handcuff on his wrists. Next to the man was a little girl with a blank look and pink pigtails.
"O-oh, sorry.", said a slightly scared Salmoneus who had fallen on the ground.
"It's alright, I wasn't watching where I was going.", said the tall man with blue long hair politely.
"Regal… We should ask him if he's seen Lloyd and the others.",. said the little girl with pink pigtails.
"You're right, Presea.", spoke Regal.
"Whoa. Who are these guys?', thought Salmoneus to himself, as he got off the ground.
~Center of Random Town~
"Let's go Herc!", said Iolaus, as he walked through the bustling town square. They had just finished looking through their part of the town for Lloyd and the other missing members of the party.
Hercules was going to try to speak but was interrupted by Iolaus.
"Hey isn't that Salmoneus? Those sure look like some odd characters he's with."
Iolaus walked over to the strange group, so Hercules just followed silently.
"Oh hey there Hercules! Iolaus! Guess what? This guy here is a genius! He owns this thing called a "Theme Park" and has more dinar then King Midas himself ever had. Heh heh!", gloated Salmoneus.
"It's not that remarkable.", spoke the modest Regal.
"So are you guys friends of Lloyd's?", asked Iolaus.
"You know Lloyd?", asked Presea.
~A Few Illuminating Moments Later~
"Oh I see. Then please take us to the others.", said Regal.
"Oh I'll just go with you guys. I want to hear more about this "Theme Park"!", stated Salmoneus who was going to follow them even if they said no.
~At the Town Entrance~
"-And that's how you make a rice ball, Raine.", spoke Roko who was trying to teach Raine how to cook.
Raine sat clinging to Roko's every word, because she couldn't cook anything to save her life.
The rest of the party sat around the town gate waiting for Hercules and Iolaus to return from searching their part of town for Lloyd and the rest of the missing members.
"Oh they're back!", said Genis and Colette at the same time.
Roko was about to hug/pet the both of them. However she heard something very loud and chariot-like from behind her and before she could react, she was taken away by the man wearing black.
"ROKO!", screamed the whole group, except for Hercules, who wouldn't have been heard anyways.
Hercules, though unable to speak, was very livid at the kidnapping of his wife.
~In Tartarus~
"Put me down HADES!", screamed Roko so loudly that all the dead souls in Tartarus stood still and silent for awhile.
"Alright….", said Hades, who's ears were most likely bleeding internally.
He was carrying her so that she wouldn't run away, but he put her down so that she possibly would quit screaming and disturbing the natural order of the underworld.
"…Now tell me what you want…", demanded Roko as she fixed her hair.
~The entrance to the Underworld~
"So this is the entrance to the underworld…", said Raine intrigued.
"I think I'll just go back to town now.", said Salmoneus who looked scared to the point of fainting.
"Come on Salmoneus, I thought you were going to learn the secrets of this "Theme Park" thing from Regal.", said Iolaus.
"Yeah well, I thought I'd only see the underworld once in my life… Like when I die!", answered Salmoneus back to Iolaus.
Presea walked into the entrance first, which made Salmoneus lose all confidence as a man.
The rest of the party followed her.
"Wa-wait for me guys!", shouted Salmoneus who didn't want to be left alone.
~Inside the Entrance~
Everyone looked around and saw nothing but black.
"Do you guys see anything?", asked Zelos.
"Poofy poofy red stuff." spoke Momo randomly and plainly. Fire appeared in her hand and light shown all around them.
"WOW! You can create fire?", shrieked Sheena who was as amazed as the rest of the party.
"Yup, I can use my summoning to summon fire…", she said without emotion, she was tried of rescuing Roko from weird people. Roko gets kidnapped a lot.
Just then as everyone was gaining back their composure, something loud and dog-like growled from deeper inside the cave/entrance.
~Deep Inside Tartarus~
Roko was having fun once again beating up opponents she had already beaten and sent here. They all fell one by one, after all, she had leveled up several times since she last saw all of them. Since they were dead they couldn't really improve and hone their skills.
"Alright! Done and done!", screamed Roko as she re-defeated her enemies.
"Thanks, Roko.", said Hades.
"All you had to do was ask! I'd be happy to kick their butts all day!", spoke Roko, who loved to fighting almost as much as her Hercules.
As the two of them stood there, a loud noise came from the south entrance of Tartarus.
Through the small cave entrance fell all of Team Hercules.
"HERC!", screamed Roko as loud as she could at the sight of her husband.
The whole party stood up and Roko jumped on the back of Hercules.
"Hey there Hades! We've come to take back Roko!", stated Iolaus.
"YEAH! You won't stop us!', said Genis.
"GENIS!", shrieked Roko.
"Ah-AHHHHHHHHHHH!", cried Genis as he ran for his life.
"After him Hercy Hercy Honey!", shouted Roko and off Hercules ran.
Roko/Hercules chased after Genis as fast as they could.
As they ran throughout the background, Momo took the time to ask, "Why did you take my sister?"
"…. I was having a hard time controlling the souls Roko's enemies…. They said they wouldn't settle down until they got their revenge, yadda yadda.", answered Hades, "Now if you'll excuse me, I recently received some souls from Sparta."
He disappeared and the party was left standing there.
Roko and Hercules came walking back, Roko had her prize and was currently snuggling Genis.
"So you all came to rescue me! YAY!", yelled a happy Roko.
"Of coarse my lovely voluptuous hunny!", shouted both Zelos and Salmoneus.
"AHHHH! How sweet of you both! HIGH FIVE!", she slapped both of their hands and walked away after re-clutching Genis.
Zelos and Salmoneus were both stricken with sadness, for they both wanted something more as a reward.
"So what did you guys do with Cerberus?", asked Roko as the group moved out of Tartarus.
As they reached the exit of the underworld Roko got her answer.
Phillip Paul the Twenty-Third was playing with the three-headed dog.
"AWWWW How cute!", shrieked Roko.
~The Entrance of Town~
"Well it's been fun…as usually…", spoke Salmoneus as he left.
"I guess Lloyd isn't here….", said Colette sadly.
"Where could he be?", asked Sheena outloud.
"We'll find him soon, I'm sure.", spoke Raine.
"…I'm hungry….", said Momo.
"Alright then…. TO THE FOOD!", screamed Roko.
So Team Hercules went and got some food.
