"WHAT DO YOU MEAN SHE'S GONE!?" A shocked, frantic, and slightly angered Elsa asked her blue haired daughter.
Ara shrugged and said, "Yup. She went towards the isle to help her girlfriend hide from Zeus." She matter-of-factly stated.
Elsa paced back and forth for a moment before turning to Ara once again. "Is she okay? Can you still connect with her?"
Ara nodded. "Yeah." She looked away for a minute before confirming. "She just said she was okay, but she couldn't say much do to the barrier messing up our connection." She jumped at an explosion that was heard outside.
Elsa responded by placing her hand over her heart. After regathering her senses, she deeply sighed. "Where is Jupiter?" She asked with concern.
Ara smiled, turning to the patio door. "I think...I saw him outside." She chuckled.
Elsa's eyes widened comically. "He...went...outside..?" She shook her head slowly. "Why would he need to go outside?"
Ara looked to the side, thinking. "I don't know, but he took a lawn chair. Oh, and he took a couple sodas, a bucket of popcorn, some chips, and some dip." Ara shrugged.
Elsa blinked at her in exasperation. "Where is he?" She turned to the patio.
Ara blinked before smirking. "Follow me."
Ara lead her mother towards the patio door and opened it with ease. She lead her mother a bit further down the pathway they walk onto. Soon, they saw a man sitting on a large, red lawn chair. He was chillin while sipping soda and chomping on chips.
He laughed at another explosion that happened in the distance. "Ha, ha! Get 'em, Hades! Kick his ass for me!" He chuckled before reaching into the popcorn bucket.
Elsa saw the sight and looked more than exasperated. "What...are you doing?"
He turned and smiled brightly. "Hey, Elsa! Join me! The weather is great!" He said as a lightning strike struck a tree and lit it on fire.
Elsa raised an eyebrow. "Right...I see you are busy…" She turned to walk away before he called her.
He reached out, nearly dropping his bag of chips. "Oh, come on. Stay!" He looked at the destruction and waved his hands. "Don't worry about that." He gestured to the weather. "I will protect you guys easily. Jupiter's guarantee!" He reached out to her, offering the former queen a chip.
She glared at the chip before glancing at him. She fell through as soon as she saw his pleading eyes. "Fine…" She waved her hands, creating an icy lawn chair.
Ara smiled in excitement before carelessly planting herself on the ground. "Awesome! I get to watch my first epic battle!" She sparked while speaking.
Elsa shook her head. "No...you go back in."
Ara looked at her with widened eyes before protesting. "But...mom! Please..! I-I can-"
"No." Elsa blankly stated.
Ara sighed and moved before Jupiter spoke, "She can stay. I am capable of helping both of you. Besides...it's a good teaching moment."
Elsa took a deep breath. "Fine…" She folded her arms, bitterly looking at all of the action.
Jupiter grinned like a child in a candy store. He disappeared before returning with triple the amount the junk food he had before. Ara happily took her portion while Elsa begrudgingly took hers.
…..
Terra looked at the design on her tablet with a tilted head as she rotated the image around. She pursed her lips and shook her head. "Something is missing." She said quietly, rubbing her chin in thought.
A rather bored Hazel poked her head behind the goddess in curiosity. "What's missing?" Then she realized how awkward that was. "Sorry...that was weird. I'm just...bored is all." She finished with a guilty smile.
Terra waved it off with a smile. "It's fine, but I am wondering the same. What is missing?" She asked aloud, spinning the design around before zooming in on what appeared to be tiny patterns of clouds.
Hazel looked with widened eyes, fully engaged with what she was seeing. "Wow...what are you making, anyway?"
Terra zoomed it out, revealing the design to be a dress of some sort. "Just trying something new, I was told a couple weeks back that I should really consider doing my own line. Apparently, my sister wore one of the outfits I made for her and...well, she ran into a famous designer." She explained, tapping the pen for her tablet on her arm.
Hazel blinked before chuckling. "Really?" She smiled. "Lucky for you, I happen to be familiar with that industry. I don't know if I've ever told you, but I am a fashion model in my world." She told her with a shrug.
Terra blinked and looked up at her in interest. "That's kind of amazing." She said before looking down at her tablet. "Though, I'm not too sure if I will actually go through with it, I already want to do a bit of what Heidi does along with some other stuff." She tilted her head at the design as if she was considering what to do with it.
Hazel smiled at her girlfriend before shrugging. "All you need is a schedule. If you could stick to that, you'd be okay." She held her smile. "I can even use my magic to create your outfits in a fraction of the time...and I could even model for you if you want." Her smile widened.
Terra looked up in surprise. "Really? I mean, I would love to do everything, clothes, accessories, jewelry, they each come so easy to me. It would be amazing to have a business as successful as hers." She jabbed her thumb at the other bluenette and she shook her head. "She's already richer than most royals and can live however she wants…"
Hazel turned to the sleeping goddess. She glanced at Terra before looking up in thought. "With a little work your business will be great. I am sure of it. Just as great as hers." She smiled at Terra. "I'll help you do it all."
Terra smiled and nodded. "Thank you." She said, putting the pen in her jacket pocket as she sent the tablet away.
Hazel playfully groaned. "Stoooop iiiiit!" She chuckled.
Terra smirked and folded her arms. "What? I mean it. I know my sisters sure wouldn't help me out with my dream...despite the fact that one of them suggested it." She said, finishing in an almost deadpan-like tone.
Hazel chuckled. "True. Still!" She folded her arms. "You stop thanking me for every single thing! I'm tired of melting like a popsicle on the beach!"
Terra chuckled and shook her head. "Unfortunately, thanking people is in my blood. Can't stop me that easily." She said with a smirk.
Hazel rolled eyes with a smile. "Fine. I guess...your welcome." The pink she had been suppressing finally made its way to her cheeks when she said those words. "Ugh…" She groaned in exasperation.
Terra merely chuckled once more as she placed her hands on her lap. Just as she was about to say something, she blinked as she heard a soft groan followed by a yawn. As slowly as possible, she leaned over to look...only to find a slightly awake Heidi looking around. "...Crap."
Hazel turned her head to look at what Terra had spotted. As soon as she saw Heidi partially awake, her blood ran cold. There was something different about Heidi this time. "She's really awake this time." She whispered as her eyes turned pink, displaying her growing discomfort.
Heidi either didn't notice them, or didn't care, as she blinked a few more times. "...Where is my dad?"
Hecate nearly jumped when she heard that. "Uh...Out at poker?" She said, quickly standing up and appearing by her side.
Heidi tilted her head. "...Why is Zeus here?"
Hecate blanched as soon as she heard the name. "Um...Well...It's a long story." She said, folding her hands behind her back as green sparkles flowed off of her fingertips.
Heidi stared at her before throwing the blanket off and sitting up in a slow manner. "Where is my dad? Why is Zeus here?" She asked again, her voice laced with irritation as she glared down the goddess, causing Hecate to chuckle nervously.
Hazel nervously looked to the side, wanting to answer, but kept her mouth shut just in case her presence would make things worse.
Hecate tilted her head. "Well…"
Heidi frowned as her hair suddenly blazed up. "Tell me now." She stated, her tone dangerous while her eyes glowed a bit.
Hecate's eyes widened at the woman before sighing. "Hades...Is fighting Zeus." She said, finally giving in and taking a step back.
Heidi stood up and in an instant she was in her battle outfit while her ember was in the form of a spear. "Then I shall be fighting him too." She said, her voice ice cold as she practically leaned on the spear for support.
Terra was the first to react to that and quickly ran in front of her. "Heidi, that is insane. You are in no shape to fight him of all beings." She said, her voice gaining a pleading tone. "Don't go out there."
Heidi's eyes narrowed before she moved past her and began for the doorway. "Dad shouldn't have to fight Zeus all on his own, especially when it is most likely my fault."
Hazel looked to the ground before looking at the scene before her. She warred with herself, considering if she should speak or not before her eyes hardened with courage. "I believe she can manage." She said, lacing her hands behind her back
Terra looked at her with widened eyes while Heidi let out a low chuckle. "At least somebody agrees with me." She said, not turning to look at the girl as she entered the mineshaft.
Hazel turned to Terra and looked to her with kind eyes. "Don't worry. She's got this." She folded her arms.
Terra sighed and shook her head as her large cloak appeared on her. "I can only hope." She said, pulling the hood over her head before running after Heidi up the mineshaft.
Hazel sighed. "More running…" She shrugged, running after Terra in the same direction.
Meanwhile, Heidi was already up in the air by the time Terra had emerged from the cave. She was riding on the back of a large black winged horse covered in armor. Her eyes burned at the sight of the explosions and the purple fiery mane and tail of the horse flared in response.
She wasn't sure what she had done this time, it was a coin toss to know what upset Zeus, but she knew that she couldn't leave her dad alone in such a fight. Pursing her lips, she rode onto the scene and glided for a bit as she watched her father and her uncle continue to cause explosion after explosion.
The goddess stretched her neck before clearing her throat, attempting to put on her best "divine voice" as possible. "Boys."
All of a sudden, the two stopped mid attack and looked at her. Zeus appeared surprised while Hades looked, as expected, unhappy that she had joined them. "Heidi, what are you doing out here?" He asked in his deeper, more demon-like voice.
Heidi stared impassively at the, admittingly, terrifying form of her father. "Uh, what does it look like?" She clicked for the horse to glide over to him. "I'm here to help you beat up the old fart."
"Heidi, I have it handled." Hades quickly said, folded his arms as he kept his ember pointed at Zeus.
Zeus chuckled at this. "If she fights...she'll be merely blown away in the wind in her current state." The god said, also pointing his Master Bolt at Hades.
Heidi rolled her eyes. "Unfortunately, for both of you...I'm not listening. I normally don't listen to you anyway, old man. And dad? If you have it handled...then why is he still here?" She pointed lazily at Zeus.
Both of the gods scowled at her with Hades scoffing and Zeus shaking his head. "I am enjoying it, Heidi!"
"Liar." Heidi said simply before flying over to his chariot and jumping in it. "Now, I will at least stay in the chariot...When was the last time I was in this? When I crashed it?" She asked aloud, watching as her horse flew off.
"Don't you dare…" Hades looked at her with his best glare and shook his head.
"...Oh, I am daring and doing. Now, can we get this over with? I need to return to a nap and you are the only thing I can use as a pillow." Heidi said, effortlessly taking the reins with a grin.
The two gods shared a look, Zeus looked fine with it...while Hades looked about ready to scream. The blue-haired god calmed down and looked at his daughter with barely suppressed anger. "Sure...Why not?" He said, forcing a smirk on his face.
Heidi chuckled as the horses all whinnied at her command. "Cool, cool. On three we resume…" She quickly held up three fingers as the chariot began to rise higher. "One...Two...THREE!" At the last word, she blasted off into the sky while the two gods quickly resumed their fighting like Heidi wasn't even there.
…..
Terra managed to make it to the area where the entrance to the Isle was, just in time to see a massive blue fiery explosion fill the sky. Her eyes locked onto Heidi who was speeding through the sky in her father's chariot. "No way…" She murmured, shaking her head in disbelief.
Footsteps were heard echoing from the cave. "Terra!" She called. She saw Terra frozen, looking at the streak in the sky. "Terra…" She called quieter and walked up to her. She reached for her hand. "Are you okay?"
Terra didn't look at her as she watched another fire explosion blast through the air followed by a loud rumble of thunder. Her eyes kept track of the goddess who was currently flying around while dodging errant lightning strikes at the very last moment.
Hazel stared at the freak weather, her expression became a frown. That's when she did grab the goddess' hand. "Terra? Talk to me...please." She pleaded with her.
"I never should have let her leave." Terra said quietly, watching as Heidi barely dodged several more white-hot lightning bolts.
Hazel shook her head. "Even if you nailed the door shut, Heidi would've chewed her way out." She turned to the battle. "It's not your fault."
Terra shook her head. "No...It is this time. I'm the one who told her to tell me everything. That's why...she is in such a state." She said, eyes drifting down as several more explosions filled the air.
Hazel stepped in front of her. She grabbed both of Terra's hands, trying to meet her eyes. "No...Terra, no." She blinked rapidly, trying to hold back her tears. "If anything it's my fault. You heard Hecate. I abandoned her...without me...she would be fine."
Terra looked back up at the sky. "Yet...If I hadn't flown that day, I doubt he would have ever found us. My sisters...they aren't as detectable by the gods, but me? I stick out like a sore thumb on the magical radar. I am the one who brought him here, and I am the one who caused Heidi to be like this." She said, wincing as a lightning bolt struck the chariot.
Hazel stubbornly looked at her beloved. "Okay. Let's just chalk it up to being a team effort. But what happened in the past is not going to help…" she pointed to the battle. "This."
"No, I guess not...But I will never forgive myself if she was knocked out of the sky...into the water." Terra's voice was heavy as she shook her head.
Hazel looked at her with sympathy. She sighed. "Well, let's make sure she doesn't fall into the water." She smirked.
Terra looked at her with a hint of confusion. "How? The minute we step out he will notice us. The cloaks are even useless at this point."
Hazel raised an eyebrow. "I didn't say you had to come." She folded her arms nonchalantly.
"What?" Terra tilted her head. "But that would mean I would be here…" She trailed off, rubbing her arm with a frown.
Hazel glanced toward her and offered a small smile. "You don't want to be here alone?"
"Not...really." Terra said quietly, looking up as she heard a particularly loud rumble of thunder.
Hazel glanced in its direction before asking. "What is it?"
"I just...don't feel right if you and Heidi were both out there while I have to sit here watching." Terra said, looking down at the ground with narrowed eyes.
Hazel watched her with an unreadable expression. She looked at the ground. "Well...I told you what I'm going to do. What are you going to do? It's up to you, Terra." She looked back up to her with a determined smile.
Terra looked down at her wrist that still had the bracelet from Hecate on it. "I am still not sure...But I'll figure it out." She said, looking up at the sky with a thoughtful look. "On second thought, I think I will keep an eye out from here."
Hazel nodded with a smile, turning. She sighed, then turned back to her. "Don't worry. We both will be back in a flash."
Terra nodded as she summoned a bit of magic to her hands. "Okay. Stay safe out there...The battle seems to only be more violent with Heidi up there."
Hazel nodded before smiling. "Be right back!" She turned once again, before giving her a quick kiss on the lips. "Okay, I'm gone for real this time." She chuckled before running to the bridge.
Terra chuckled and shook her head, her eyes watching the girl for a moment before returning to the sky as a rather unusual black fire explosion blasted through the clouds. "As I thought…" She said to herself, watching as a blue fire explosion followed by several more bright explosions.
….
Heidi ducked as another bundle of lightning almost hit her. "Hey, watch it! I just got my hair done, old fart!" She yelled, summoning a fireball and launching at him.
The god dodged it without problem as he continued to deflect Hades' attacks. "Oh? So I need to aim a bit lower?" As the god said this, several bolts rocketed towards her.
Heidi had to maneuver the chariot out of the way as she felt one hit it. "No, aim to the left or something! I treasure my head!" She replied, continuing to fly around while dodging the excessive amount of lightning Zeus was firing at her.
Interestingly, the barrage of lightning flew elsewhere as if someone had taken control of them. Next, was an aurora like flash of light that surrounded the perimeter around the chariot. Heidi was left completely unharmed.
The goddess blinked and looked around. "Say, uh, Zeus?" She stared at him before grinning. "Looks like those were duds!" She laughed before throwing a fireball at him.
Zeus was in between blocking a shadow attack from Hades when the fireball hit him, causing him to stagger a bit before being blasted away by none other than Hades. The blue-haired god laughed and flew after him as he turned invisible once again.
"Serves him right." Heidi snickered and commanded the chariot to go after them as she heard the thunder rumble again, more lightning soaring towards her.
The lightning was deflected once again as an aurora like blast rippled through the sky. Beside Heidi was a Hazel looking as calm and confident as ever in her sparkling outfit. "You really should be more careful, you know." She said, deflecting another strike, using magnetic waves.
Heidi looked at her for a moment before shrugging. "And my dad shouldn't be throwing my uncle through a building, we all do dumb things." She said, pointing out the two gods as she clicked for the horses to start taking evasive maneuvers.
Hazel looked at the scene and smirked. "I don't mind that. Dude tried to kill me today." She said, referring to Zeus.
Heidi nodded absentmindedly. "Anybody else he try to take out? I'm looking for a reason to chuck a fire bomb at him." Her fist lit up at her words as she glared down her uncle.
She glanced at Heidi, deflecting more bolts. "He also tried to harm Terra." She glared at the fight below. "He heard about the triplets and came to kill them. That's why he's here."
The fire on Heidi's fist turned white before she chuckled. "And there's the reason." She said, clearing her throat as her eyes darkened. "Hey Zeus!" Her divine voice echoed and carried across the wind as she summoned a massive white fireball. "I know what you did and your gonna be a piece of rotting flesh by the time I am done with you!" She roared before flinging the fireball at him, causing an enormous explosion that filled the sky with light.
Hades could be heard laughing over this. "You make me so proud! Your first threat to truly end Zeus' life!" He called out as the light cleared to reveal him already attacking Zeus again.
As Heidi's fire and eyes returned to normal, she looked down at them in a deadpan. "He is proud over the weirdest of things…"
Hazel shrugged. "...I guess?" She turned her gaze to the sky, watching for more bolts. This is when she secretly thanks her sister for having her dodge and repel all of her bolts. "Look. I know this is a really bad time...but I'm sorry I abandoned you. That's not...what I meant to do." She paused to deflect another strike.
Heidi glanced at her, an unreadable expression on her face. "Oh?" She simply said before launching another fireball at Zeus.
Hazel glanced at her before deflecting a barrage of hot bolts. "Oh, don't give me that." She glanced at her again. "It was a big misunderstanding that I was too afraid to talk to you about."
Heidi effortlessly launched a spike of shadow at Zeus before looking at her. "That's what Terra said and...I don't know what to think. See Zeus down there? All he ever did was throw my dad and I away. He cast me into the Underworld so that both his brother and his daughter might be eternally silenced. Now...He's trying to do the same to me." She looked at the god with cold eyes. "That's what I believed was happening that day, you were doing the same as him...and Skadi? She only sealed that deal, silence the daughter of Hades because of her father's deeds." She shook her head, voice bitter while her hand tightened around the reins.
Hazel shook her head. She took a deep breath and she felt...a sense of calm. It must've been her father's words because she never thought she would be here, saying what she was about to say. "I was scared, Heidi. I have been, for the longest." She reflected a bolt gracefully. "It hurt to keep you close. It hurt me so much...that I did the only thing I knew how to do. Run from you. Push you away; all because of how I felt for you." She glanced at her before aggravatedly sighing and reflecting another set of bolts.
The goddess was silent for a moment as she lifted her spear before throwing it at near supersonic speeds. She let out a satisfied hum when she heard her father call out in thanks while Zeus was launched to the ground. Heidi glanced at her as she waited for her spear to return. "Nobody has ever done quite what you did just because they were "desiring me", as my father puts it, they often just told me that it was over. That way they didn't face the danger that came with me." She held out her hand and caught the spear before setting the base of it on the floor of the chariot and leaning on it. "Most just left and ran away, never did they continue to talk to me. You could say this was the first time I experienced something like this." She said neutrally.
Hazel dryly chuckled. "If you haven't noticed, I'm not like everyone else." She looked up at the sky. "Everyone else is hiding away in their homes scared right now. Where am I? I am out here helping you stay safe." She looked to Heidi. "The reason I stayed was because even if I couldn't love you, I still cared for you. I could still love you as a friend...and I still do." She dryly repelled more bolts.
Heidi didn't say anything as she thought over the words. Finally, after what seemed like hours, she looked up with ever-so-softened eyes. "Thank you." She said, her voice so quiet that it was barely audible over the high winds.
Hazel smiled at her with wettened eyes. Instead of answering her, she said, "You have no idea how sorry I am. I'm- I'm so...so sorry." Her eyes released a few tears as she spoke.
Heidi nodded as she transformed her spear into a large trident-like weapon that glowed. With one hand, she threw up a shield and launched the weapon towards the two gods. It hit Zeus in the back, causing him to be launched off into the countryside and right into a rather large hill. She turned to look at the girl. "I...understand. Terra said a few things that night she came back when I was "talking" with her. Long story short, I was kicking myself for giving her the power of peace."
Hazel chuckled, wiping off her eyes and shaking her head. "Yeah...she really knows how to get things out of people. It's her thing." She blinked. "Hm, now that we're good again, I have to fill you in on some things!" She said with excitement.
Heidi blinked as she caught the trident and transformed it into a spear again. "...Why do I have a feeling it concerns one of my clones?" She asked in a deadpan, looking down at the two gods as she saw Zeus and Hades back up in the air fighting again.
Hazel blinked before nervously chuckling. "Well...that was one thing I wanted to mention. I might as well tell you since we're on the topic." She smiled before saying, "Terra and I are a 'thing' now." She folded her arms.
Heidi raised an eyebrow. "Terra? As in "Terra the Robot" Terra?"
Hazel smiled even brighter. "Yup." Chuckling, she said, "If you want proof, ask your subconscious. When you were half awake, you went all...love guru on us and nearly jumped Terra. Geez, you were intimidating…"
Heidi looked even more confused at that. "What? I couldn't have possibly done that, I haven't been a "love guru" since my time in Hell. Frankly, I don't even know how to do it properly anymore."
Hazel nodded. "Well...you did. If it weren't for you, I would have no girlfriend. Besides, I have Hecate and Terra as my witnesses." She smirked.
"And Hecate probably got it on camera somehow...Ugh, I'm gonna tackle her. I was a weirdo back then during my love guru days. Most of my "customers" were people who dated me. That's why people there still think I'm a player, because I had a new person entering my personal cave everyday." Heidi explained, tilting her head as she heard one of the gods yell something before an explosion followed.
Hazel shook her head before she said, "Okay. Next big reveal. You were right about my mother and grandfather is the best! His name is Njord." She said with a smile.
Heidi blinked a few times before her eyes widened. "How did I not know it was NJORD?!" She practically yelled, pounding a fist on the chariot.
She looked at her with halved and entertained eyes. "Yep. It is Njord. Apparently, Ara shares some of his powers." Then she smiled to herself. "And so do I."
Heidi shook her head. "And it was so painfully obvious...Gah!" She exclaimed in a disappointed manner, closing her eyes as she frowned.
Hazel chuckled and said, "There...there. It would've thrown anyone off." She folded her arms and continued, "So, are you ready for the last big reveal?"
"...I'm not sure at this point…" Heidi muttered, waving her hand towards Zeus as a massive fireball collided with him.
Hazel smiled before taking a deep breath and rubbing her hands together. "Okay. Well...I'm a princess...and a...goddess." She looked to her, awaiting her reaction.
Heidi stared at her for a moment before letting out a loud groan. "OH COME ON! I should have noticed it! I'm supposed to be half a century old or something and I don't even notice that?!"
Hazel laughed for a short while. "You are taking the news better than I did." She looked to the side. "I always wanted to know who my father was. Out of all the people in the world it had to be Jupiter, King of the Roman Pantheon." She shrugged. "I am still going to ask mom about that one…" She deflected another round of bolts.
Heidi was twitching at this point as she was leaning on her spear for support. "...I'm really bad at this goddess business...Couldn't tell even the most obvious stuff…" She said, looked unhappy at herself. "And it just had to be the one pantheon I don't personally talk with! Come on, Heidi!"
Hazel offered her a kind smile. "It's alright, Heidi. You just need more practice, that's all." She said, leaning against the chariot.
"I know...I just thought I would be a bit better! I'm filling in for my dad for gods' sake! I'm supposed to know all this stuff and...well, I'm just Hermes' flying buddy who can't tell a human from a goddess." Heidi said, folding her arms as she summoned a fire bomb and launched it at the battle in the distance.
Hazel walked up beside her, still smiling. "Don't be so hard on yourself." She shrugged. "You didn't see it...and that's okay. The glass isn't half empty. It's half full. Use this as a learning experience to grow into the best goddess you can be." She glanced around before saying, "If you feel lame, imagine how I feel right now." She chuckled.
"You kidding me? I'm the one who's currently trying to help defeat my stupid uncle in the chariot I crashed when I was six. I'm not getting one of these bad boys until I'm a thousand. Yeah, my dad takes grounding seriously." Her voice dropped to a deadpan.
Hazel raised an eyebrow. "Hmm...and most parents bluff when they say that…" She shrugged. "Honestly, I am kinda enjoying this. I am so feeling those heroic vibes." She chuckled.
Heidi shrugged. "I constantly feel like my dad is gonna appear any second and ask what I'm still doing in his chariot." She said leaning to the side as she tried to see where Hades and Zeus were before she commanded the horses to find the two.
Hazel glanced at her. "Just tell him a really good excuse. For example: I am not at my full health and need to avoid Zeus' lightning." She looked for the two herself. "Kind of like that."
"Uh, huh." Heidi said before looking up as she noticed something strange. "Speaking of lightning...The storm has calmed down." She said in confusion, clicking her tongue for the horses to speed up.
Hazel looked up and glanced around. "Wow...you're right…" she glanced about. "Do you see them, yet?" She turned to Heidi.
Heidi's eyes glowed ever-so-slightly before she abruptly commanded the horses to lower. "Yeah, right in the middle of the city. My father has him down." She said, surprise written all over her face.
Hazel laughed in victory. "Ha, ha! Yeah!" She fist pumped. "I am so going to tell Terra that I was right!" She chuckled, her eyes becoming a vibrant green color.
Heidi chuckled as she brought the chariot to the ground. She clicked her tongue and hopped off with a grin. "See? I didn't crash it this time!" She announced to her father.
Hades rolled his eyes, keeping a spiked boot on Zeus's chest. "Good, I had to pay a lot to have that fixed. The guy charged me extra." He said, his voice now normal and full of sarcasm.
Heidi shook her head in amusement. "So, how'd you get him down?" She asked in curiosity, walking over to him and grinning at the sight of the unconscious god.
Hades pulled out his ember and chuckled darkly. "Ah, just stole a little something. He'll be up and complaining in no time." He said, prompting Heidi to laugh as she high fived him.
Hazel caught up with them and smirked at the knocked out god. "...Glad that's over." She smiled at the both of them.
Hades chuckled. "Zeusy here failed to dodge the last beam from my ember when Heidi launched that fire bomb. He went out like that." The god snapped his fingers and grinned. "I told him to avoid the ember."
Hazel shook her head at him. "Yeah...I'm glad he didn't listen." She smiled and turned her head upward as she heard thunder.
Heidi blinked. "Dad, are you sure he's knocked out?" She asked him, looking at Zeus in suspicion.
"I don't know, kick him for good luck." Hades responded, prompting Heidi to kick him in the side. When nothing happened, he shrugged. "Yep, he's out. Someone else is doing this."
Hazel chuckled and said, "I have a feeling I know who it is." She folded her arms, looking towards the sky.
As soon as she did this, white lightning bolt struck the ground and revealed the midnight blue haired god. He had a large grin on his face at the state of Zeus before bursting into laughter. "Serves him right! Ha, ha! That was the best show I've seen in a long time!" He shook his head still chuckling.
Heidi blinked before tilting her head. "Oh...Yeah, I see why I confused the weather." She said, recognizing the god.
Hades continued to look confused. "Remind me who that is?"
Heidi gave him a halved-eyed stare. "Seriously dad?"
"What? I am old, I forget things...sometimes." Hades said, throwing his hands up.
Heidi rolled her eyes. "That is Jupiter, King of the Romans. Ringing any bells in your old man brain?" She asked him, shaking her head in exasperation when he shrugged.
Jupiter was pretty much throwing a party around the unconscious god. He took a picture of him before turning to his daughter. "By the way, you did nicely, princess. You might wanna talk to your mom, though. She was having a heart attack."
Hazel winced before saying, "Thanks, father." She smiled at him before looking at the other two.
Then Jupiter turned to Hades with a smirk. "Oh, and thank you for kicking Zeus' ass for me. I have been wanting to do that for centuries!" He chuckled, slipping his hands into his cloak pockets.
"I've been planning on doing it for thousands, though, I did it for everyone who's been annoyed, kicked, and overall yelled at by this big moronic airhead. Heidi came in with that support though!" Hades looked at his daughter who shook her head in amusement. "That trident to the back really caught him off guard."
Jupiter raised an eyebrow, clearly impressed. "Hmm...nice shot. I will admit, I cheered and threw my popcorn in the air when that happened." He smirked at her.
"I think even the gods in Olympus cheered at that hit." Heidi said with a chuckle before looking down at her uncle. "Speaking of that, you might wanna send him back." She told her father, tapping the downed god with her armor covered boot.
Hades shrugged. "Everyone got their selfies of the downed Zeus?" He asked, almost as if this was the most normal thing he had done all week.
Jupiter nodded, "I know I did." He chuckled.
Hazel walked up to Heidi with a raised eyebrow. "Where's my highfive? I did keep you from being fried...many times." She brought out with a smile.
Heidi chuckled and placed a hand on her hip. "True, and my father appreciates it. You just can't see it behind all of that mad glee on his face." She gestured to the grinning god before holding up her hand.
Hazel laughed before shaking her head. "Well, tell him I said 'your welcome'." Their hands collided as they completed their highfive. She smiled, "I'm assuming you want to return to that nap?"
Heidi chuckled and nodded as she saw Hades teleport Zeus away. "Yeah, we are gonna be heading back there, right dad?"
Hades slowly looked at her. "...Not even a bit longer?" He asked, putting on his most innocent look, which didn't look all that innocent, admittingly.
"No, dad. It's back to the cave with you." Heidi said, grabbing onto his wrist to prevent him from running away.
Jupiter smirked, turning to Hazel. "And you need to make up a good excuse for your mother." He folded his arms.
Hazel chuckled nervously. "I-I will think of something. Just...give me a minute."
Jupiter nodded before electricity began to circle around his body. "I will tell her your still alive. That should help you help you out some. See you then!" That's when he disappeared in a white thunderbolt.
Hazel smiled before turning to the two. "I should head back with you guys. I promised Terra that we would both come back." She looked at Heidi.
Heidi nodded as she ignored her father's attempts to run off. "Huh. Well, I'm teleporting dad back since his chariot is back in the Underworld. That and I don't want him getting any wise ideas." She said, directing the last few words towards the god as he faked a confused look.
Hazel chuckled and shook her head. She placed a hand on Heidi's shoulder. "Ready." She referred to Heidi teleporting.
Heidi practically tugged her father closer before closing her eyes as golden magic surrounded them. In a second they were back on the Isle, much to Hades' displeasure as he let out a disappointed grumble. Heidi shook her head as she released him and watched him stalk around a bit. "And we are back."
Hazel shrugged. "At least you got a little free time." She said, being optimistic.
"Try telling that to him. He got the battle of his immortal life and he's still grumpy." Heidi said, folding her arms at her father.
Hazel chuckled, smirking at the god. That was until she remembered something. "Hm, where is she?" She mumbled, looking for her girlfriend.
Heidi looked about and a thoughtful look crossed her face. "Huh...She said she's coming, she ran back to the cave like ten minutes ago or something." Heidi said with a shrug.
Hazel nodded in understanding. "Huh...okay. I got worried for a moment. At least she's still here." She folded her arms, waiting patiently.
"Yeah, she sounded pretty relieved to know that I was still alive...I should probably tell her that us gods don't exactly die die." Heidi said absentmindedly, looking at the ground as she kicked a pebble.
Hazel waved it off. "For now, she'll be fine. Oh, that reminds me." She turned to Heidi fully. "I wish to take your clones into my world; where they will be safe." She smiled.
Heidi looked up in surprise. "Really? That would be...great, actually. Dad will have to recover from knowing that he has three less girls in the family to annoy, but eh, he'll be fine." She said, smirking when she heard Hades grumble at her words.
Hazel's eyes lit up for a moment. "Hmm...I wonder how my Hades would handle three girls? From what my mom told me...he seemed to miss you."
Heidi nodded, having expected that. "I figured. He had the "I am trying to look tough but I am actually sad" face on. I bet he'd kind of love it, after he got over the fact that none of them are me. Then again...he didn't seem to like that I knew him so well." She said offhandedly, not appearing to notice Hades stalking up behind her.
Hazel was not looking at Heidi, but at the god behind her. "Umm…" Was all she said before bursting into laughter.
"What?" Was all Heidi could say before she was suddenly grabbed and tossed over the god's shoulder like a burlap sack. "Wha-Dad!"
"Yeah, this is for sitting in my chariot, we talked about this." Hades said, beginning to walk away with the squirming Heidi.
"I was six for gods' sake!" Heidi protested before looking at something as they turned into another road. "Oh, hey Terra." She said casually before continuing to protest as they got farther and farther away.
At the name, Hazel turned to the goddess and smiled. "Terra!" She called before running to her and embracing her in a warm hug.
Terra smiled at the hug. "Hey…" She said as they parted. "I assume Hades...won?" She asked, sounding still quite confused at what she had just saw.
Hazel chuckled before grinning ear to ear. "I told ya sooo…" She teased, looking at her with pride.
Terra chuckled and shook her head. "I can only wonder how he did it. Not to doubt him or anything, it just seems hard to believe." She said, sounding a bit puzzled at her words.
Hazel remembered something on the lines of Heidi doing something, but in the moment she forgot. "Heh...it was a team effort? Sorry I forgot everything in the moment...and every moment after…" She gave her a guilty smile.
Terra squinted a bit before smiling. "Not a problem, Heidi heard me thinking and said it involved a trident to the back and Hades stealing something from him." She said, tilting her head. "She didn't say what he stole though."
Hazel shrugged. "He didn't exactly go into too much detail…" She laced her fingers together. "He did say that Heidi distracted Zeus and he was able to nail him with a final blast. Something like that…" She looked off to the side.
Terra shrugged. "Oh well. I'll just ask her later since she'll probably figure it out before any of us ever will." She said with a chuckle.
Hazel chuckled before tilting her head. "Where you worried for me?" She teased.
"Of course, those three were causing some serious explosions." Terra said with a small smile.
Hazel smiled at her before shaking her head. "Teeeerrrraaaaa...you shouldn't worry yourself like that. I was fine." She rolled her eyes.
"I can't help it." Terra chuckled, shaking her head in amusement.
Hazel smirked. "Fine. I guess I can roll with that answer." She kissed her on the cheek before thinking. "Huh, I guess I have to let you meet my family now, right? I'm not sure how that goes. I've never made it this far." She blinked, referring to her relationship status.
"I didn't even know what dating was...so I think I am even more unprepared." Terra joked, chuckling at herself.
Hazel smiled at her. "Okay, then. I will let you meet them. Once you get their approval...it will be official."
Terra smiled at that. "Hopefully it will go alright then…" She said, looking up at the now clear sky.
Hazel looked up at Terra with a positive look. "I am sure it will be fine because I really think that you were meant to be mine." She said, sweetly.
Terra chuckled at that and her smile brightened. "Then, there is no need to delay it. I bet Heidi will come back on land tomorrow or so, after she is done using Hades as a pillow of course. So there's no point of hanging around here anymore." She said, tilting her head as she heard the other bluenette's thoughts.
Hazel nodded before gasping. "Oh, and don't I also have to meet your sisters? They are your family." She folded her arms with a smile.
"Well, I'm not sure if I could exactly bring them out, considering Phoenix tried to set the city on fire, but maybe you could teleport in. I'll take down the blocks that Heidi has up." Terra said, placing a hand on her hip as she looked thoughtful.
Hazel's smile brightened. "Well, what are we waiting for? We have a busy day. Come on!" She chuckled before jogging off to the bridge.
Terra shook her head in amusement before jogging after her, a wide smile on her face.
