"Ugh, remind me not to book any vacations to the underworld." Sophie struggled to her feet. "Wow. Did the place look like this before we left?"
"No." Tsagaglalal looked around. "I know this whole block was almost destroyed when we left, but look at this place now. It's been flattened, I can see for miles around."
"But all that's here is fire and the charred remains of buildings, trees, and cars." said Marethyu. Several armored S.W.A.T vans came down the street and stopped near the five armored people.
"What is this?" One of the S.W.A.T members jumped out of the first van. "A renaissance fair? You people are supposed to be in the army base three miles east of here. And, uh, nice armor."
"Finest Carthaginian make." said Hannibal.
"Yea whatever," said the officer. "Get inside the van; we can take you to the base." Sophie, Christian, Marethyu, Tsagaglalal, and Hannibal boarded the van. As the van rolled through the scorched streets of San Francisco Sophie got a better look at the destruction to the city. Sophie's eyes started to water when Marethyu put his hand on her shoulder.
"Don't worry." He said. "We can fix this. We brought down Danu Talis, a city full of the most powerful elders who ever lived, and we didn't even know how to use our powers then. We're much stronger now. We'll take down Hades and rebuild the city." Marethyu removed his hand from her shoulder and turned around. He knew from their battle with Hades that it would take a miracle to defeat him. His troops were outnumbered and he was outmatched, yet he still managed to defeat them all. It didn't matter who you were or how strong your aura was. Marethyu knew that in their current position, they wouldn't be able to bring Hades down.

I watched that new movie with Johnny Depp…
I just don't know how he got in my house though.
