Finn groaned loudly as he began to open his eyes.
He found himself on the ground of somewhere.
He began to sat up and rub his eyes.
He then moved his legs, only to find one of them was chained to the ground.
"What the fuck?" he asked.
His vision then returned, and saw that he was in a cage.
"Where am I!?" he yelled.
He saw that there were other cages aligned along and across from his.
And they had all the Kingdom Keepers in them.
"Guys!" he yelled.
One by one everyone began to get up.
"Ugh my head," groaned Charlene.
"Where are we?" asked Maybeck.
"Does anyone know how long it's been?" asked Jess.
Finn had his watch on him, and saw that 12 hours had passed.
"Holy shit," he said. "That bastard Hades knocked us out for half the day!"
"We have to get out of here!" yelled Willa. "Or we'll never find Amanda."
"First thing's first," said Philby. "Where the fuck is here!?"
"You're in the coliseum dungeons," said a voice. "And judging by your appearance, I'm guessing you're all mortals."
Everyone looked a cage down along Finn's side, and saw a man in a cage.
He was very muscular and wearing Greek armor, and had handsome hair.
And everyone knew who he was.
"Holy crap," said Finn. "HERCULES!"
It was indeed Hercules, the son of Zeus.
"Who are you kids?" asked Hercules. "What are a bunch of kids like you doing in the Underworld?"
"We are the Kingdom Keepers," said Jess.
"The heroes of Disney and…" Charlene began to say.
"DISNEY!?" yelled Hercules. "You mean you've seen Meg!?"
"Yes," said Maybeck. "We've seen Megara several times."
"Wayne you magnificent bastard," said Hercules. "You've chosen a brave couple of kids to come rescue me and…"
"We'll not exactly," said Finn. "We're not here for you."
"What?" asked Hercules.
"We didn't even expect you to be here in this dungeon," said Philby. "We knew you were down here, but we're not here for you."
"We're here to rescue Finn's beloved," said Willa. "Amanda Lockhart."
"Oh…" said Hercules. "I see."
"Sorry," said Finn. "But we are kind of on a time limit."
"You mean she's ready to move on?" asked Hercules. "How many hours do you have left?"
"36 hours apparently," said Finn.
Hercules sighed.
"I ran out of my hours before I could get out of the Underworld with Meg," he said. "So I made a last second exchange with my uncle."
"Your soul down here and her alive?" asked Jess.
"Yes," sighed Hercules. "Now I am Hades' personal gladiator. And he can send any beast against me, even if its invincible, because I'm a soul. I can't die."
He stared at everyone.
"And I fear you may now be facing a beast with me," he said.
"Hades wants us to die," said Finn.
"Well he does hate mortals," said Hercules. "And if was to actually lose a mortal, he'd lose all his kingliness and Orpheus will come along and take…"
"Wait!" yelled Philby. "Did you just say Orpheus!?"
"Yes," said Hercules. "That old man does nothing but wait along for the throne to be taken."
"I have an idea," said Finn. "Orpheus made these pearls to get us out of the Underworld after we found Amanda."
He showed Hercules his pearl.
"If Orpheus made this, maybe he can make you one too," said Finn.
"If we can get you out of here, maybe you can…" said Maybeck.
"Thanks, but I'll pass," said Hercules.
"What?" asked Charlene.
"I could never show my face in Disney again," said Hercules. "I'm a disgrace and a coward. I don't even bother fighting these days. I just let myself get killed, so I can end up back here."
"That's sad," said Willa.
"So you've just given up on life?" asked Maybeck.
"I don't have it anyway," said Hercules.
Suddenly everyone's cages opened up.
Demonic guards stood before them.
"Get up mortal scum," said the one standing at Finn's. "Time to fight and die."
He was suddenly lifted to his feet by magic.
He and the others were escorted out while Hercules willingly came.
"I'll get out of here," Finn said to himself. "I MUST FIND AMANDA!"
Oh shit! Hercules! We've met him now! But how will the Keepers get out of here? And what kind of beast will the Keepers face? Stay tuned to find out!
See you next update! Review please dearies!
