(Sonic's POV)
I told everyone what happened about the harpy almost attacking me in the sky.
"What?! Why would she do such a thing?!" Stick gasps.
"I have no idea but it could be Scourge's doing it something else" I said.
"Oh I'm so gonna rip his snakes off one by one!" Knuckles growled.
"And then what? Get turned into stone?" Rouge said.
"I'm not afraid of anything, boot-winged flying bat! I dealt with monsters before!" Knuckles yelling at Rouge.
"YOU SHOULD LISTEN TO YOURSELF!" Rouge shouted back.
"Enough! This is probably just the beginning of the assault" I said.
"Scourge is probably scared to face you, Sonic. You're the last mobian demigod son of Zeus" Tails said.
"Yet he wants me dead. But we need to keep our positions. He could be here any moment now" I said.
"Not yet he won't. He's only after me and Silver. Fighting a gorgon is not easy. His snake quills are very poisonous. One bite and it stops a person's heart in one minute" Tails said.
"What?!" I gasped.
"Yeah, it's never said in those myth stories to people" Tails said.
"I know we only met but I'm just worried about you, Sonic. I really do" Amy said with concern.
"Don't worry Amy. I'll be okay" I assured her.
"You're gonna have to battle Greek monsters just like Hercules did. We have Greek creatures like the Nemean lion that I showed you. But battling can be very challenging for a young demigod like you" Nebula said, petting her deer.
"I think I'll do the Nemean lion challenge first without killing it" I said.
"Are you insane?! Males are very aggressive, Sonic. They can sniff demigod scent" Amy said.
"I am blood related to Hercules. I got my bolt staff and my cocky attitude. And if I win, I can have a lion skin wig on my head just like Hercules did" I grinned.
"He used its own claws to skin it. But he lost a finger while strangling it" Amy said.
"This time I won't lose a finger. Now let's get this show started" I grinned.

Much later, I was brought to a male Nemean lion that walks up a cliff. Okay, he looks fearless and grumpy like a regular male lion.
"Hello kitty. What's up?" I taunted him.
He just roared back and jumps down the cliff and growls ferociously.
"Okay, Keep in mind he's impervious to weapons" I said to myself as we circled.
He growled lowly at me, not like my cocky look or any of my jokes.
"My half-brother Hercules fought one of your ancestors. I can do the same to you. Without killing you" I held out my bolt staff.
The lion growled and leaps at me with the claws unsheathed and I tried to dodge it.
"Shield!" I yelled at my bolt shapeshifts into a shield.
The lion was shoved back by me using the shield and it backed off growling.
"Come on big boy! Surely you can do better!" I smirked with no fear.
The Nemean lion crouches and leaps at me and...OW!...managed to scratch me with the claws.
"Ugh!" My chest was badly wounded with claw marks, "Grrrr! You are so gonna regret that"
The lion growls some more and jumps at me again to try bite me.
"MACE!" I turned the shield into a mace and whacked him with it. It didn't harm him but it caused ringing in his ears.
"Alright this is my chance!" I stood my ground, "Hey kitty! Made you look!" I ran super-fast around him.
The lion became a little woozy because he loses track and roars in frustration and then swoop a paw at me but missed.
"Son of Zeus, kitty" I smirked.
"GRRRRR!" The lion growled again and leaps again.
But this time I spun into a ball to dodge him. Then I hit him in the face but the wounds on my chest were making me feel weak from moving around too much.
But I have to hold my ground. Now to finish him off, "CLUB!" I turned my weapon into a club. And then combined with my spindash I knocked him out.
"Aaaaaaaggggghhhhh!" I screamed with strength to make my eagle patronus. And with that I managed to defeat the Nemean lion without killing it. Hopefully I'll have a fake lion skin like a hair wig.
"Well done Sonic" Knuckles said.
"Thanks man. Say, do you have a fake lion skin for me?" I asked.
"I do have one. Let's see if it fits" Knuckles said.
I smirked and then looked at the giant lion, "No hard feelings?"
The lion just scoffs in annoyance and leaves us. Typical behavior from him.
"Male lions can be very serious and stubborn" Knuckles said.
"But people like Kevin Richardson can hug them. I heard of that guy that is the lion whisperer or something. Anyways, show me the fake lion skin. If my half big brother Hercules was alive he would've been proud of me" I said.
Knuckles held out a fake Nemean lion skin to me. It looked so real but still fake.
"Whoa, it looks real but still fake" I took it and put it on my head like a wig.
"You definitely are related to your half-brother" Knuckles said.
"Yeah. Now what's next? The hydra?" I asked.
"That sea serpent monster? Silver has been trying to slay it in the ocean but failed. Everyone knows that chopping their heads off makes them regrow back" Knuckles said.
"Two each time will grow in its place" I said.
"Yeah, I know. It's just strange that it's parents are Typhon and Echidna. Echidna? Weird name to confuse it for an animal like me" Knuckles said.
"Really weird. And Typhon's main head is like a donkey sometimes" I chuckled.
"Jackass I guess. Anyways, if you want to fight that hydra you're gonna have to team up with Silver. The hydra is in the ocean and I know you're not comfortable with swimming underwater like your cousin" Knuckles said.
"Very well" I said.

I went to find Silver at the beach to face the hydra there.
"Hey Silver" I see my cousin getting sun tan on his muzzle skin.
"What now, mate? Crikey, you're wearing a lion wig?" Silver said.
"Protective armor and no it's not real skin. I need you to face the hydra" I said.
"I tried many times for like a year, mate. It's not easy and I don't know its weakness" Silver said, sighing in frustration.
"Hercules had his nephew use a torch to keep the heads from growing back" I thought about it and told him.
"That's its main weakness? A torch?" Silver didn't believe me.
"Not just a torch, fire to seal the severed throats" I said.
"Why didn't I think of that earlier?" Silver sighs.
"Maybe you haven't read all of Hercules' stories" I smirked.
"Lets just go. Now relax, you certainly don't want to be wet by the hydra" Silver said.
"I don't. I just can't breathe underwater like you. You have no idea what it feels to be drowned underwater. To get water stuck in your lungs and you pass out or die" I said.
Just then a water explosion came from the water and out came the seven headed serpent, "Oh shit!" I ran behind Silver.
"Stop being a wuss and get into fight" Silver sternly said.
"I didn't expect it to have a full mouth of razor teeth and this giant size!" I whimpered.
"You figure something out! I'm just gonna deal with that monster as quickly as possible! I have no time to talk sense into you, mate!" Silver growled impatiently as he went into the ocean to deal with the monster.
"If I can't fight on land or in water then I guess I have to fight in the air" I said and made a whistle call for Sky.
He came in like the wind and I morphed my staff into a sword.
"It's battle time!" I got on my horse and flew with him to battle the hydra while Silver is battling it underwater.
Some of the heads came out of the surface and I sliced off two of the heads. Fuck! I'm not supposed to do that. But they regrow back as I expected it.
"TORCH!" I made the sword into a torch and saw Silver slice off a head and I flew down to burn the throat of the severed head. And it didn't grow another pair of heads. Now there's just a few heads to take care of.
I hope Silver is doing alright with battling the hydra's lower body. He came out of the water and fended off the lower heads, "You're mine, mates!" Silver held out his trident.
"HEADS UP!" I flew down with Sky.
"BOLTS!" I made my sword into a bolt to fry the heads.
"Good thinking, mate!" Silver smirks.
"Let's finish this!" I flew next to him with Sky.
Silver hops on Sky and we fly up to finish the monster once and for all. He held out his trident and threw it at the heads while I threw lightning bolts at the stumps. The immortal head remained left. Silver's trident moves back to him. Which obviously I didn't see that coming. It was like magnetic or something.
"Good job mate" Silver gave me thumbs up.
"Thanks but it's not over yet. We got three more heads to finish off" I said.
"Let's do it!" Silver threw the trident again at the heads.
"RRRRAAAAAAAWWWWWWWRRRRRR!" The hydra roared in pain.
"Say good night!" We cut off the last head which was immortal. We brought it to the shore to dig it down like Hercules did with the previous one.
"Crikey, this bugger of a snake is hard to kill" Silver said.
"At least it won't regenerate again" I said as we flew down to land.
"Yeah. Now ready for next task?" Silver asked
"What task is it? I still have my lion skin wig" I said, waving it around with my head.
"You'll see" Silver said.
"It better not be one of your water drowning challenges or something" I said, keeping my guard up.
"Let's say that my half-brother Theseus fought one of the monsters" Silver said.
"The minotaur" I guessed.
"Yes" Silver nods.
"Is it aggressive like a bull?" I asked.
"Of course. But he got a man's body" Silver said.
"Hmm...I wonder if it knows Spanish. Shouldn't you fight the Minotaur? None of my half siblings fought one" I said.
"Go give it a try" Silver said.

We later met the Minotaur; he was big, tough, muscular, and very aggressive. If it has an attitude of a real bull I don't know how mad it would be when it's half man.
"So Señor? You've come to face me?" He asked toughly.
"Uh, yes. I know my half cousin Theseus fought one of your kind" I said, holding out my bolt staff.
"Ohhhh he stabbed that one in the back" The Minotaur said.
"Ouch. Anyways, I'm here to battle you. Without killing you" I said.
"Good. Let's get mooooooooving!" The Minotaur grins.
We got into an arena where I was facing off against the Minotaur.
"By the way, I'm the son of Zeus" I got in my fighting stance while banging my bolt staff in the ground.
"Well then, this is gonna get fun! YAAAAAAGH!" He charged at me.
I dodged rolled it and just when he tried to smash me with his massive fist, I unexpectedly punched back with a lot of force. What the hell?! Punching him felt like I had no broken knuckles. So I do have demigod strength like Hercules.
"URGH!" The Minotaur backed off in slight pain.
"Oh it's on!" I smirked and spindashed at him. I delivered a blow to his head then back.
"Agh! Why you mutant blue rat!" The minotaur is now super pissed.
"Come on toro head!" I held my lion skin coat like a matador bull fighter. The minotaur blows from his nose and charged at me, "Ole!"
"You are starting to get on my nerves you rat!" The Minotaur tries again but I still dodged it.
"I'm NOT a rat! I'm a hedgehog!" I said, feeling annoyed by being called a rat.
"Rat or not! I will take you down!" The Minotaur growled.
He tries to body slam on me but I lift him up without breaking my spine. Then I spin him above my head and threw him to the sand floor, "HAH! I win!"
"Not bad kid. Not bad" the Minotaur groans in defeat.
"Better luck next time" I said and left.
"Crikey, mate. How did you figure out that you have demigod strength?" Silver asked.
"Just came out of me" I looked at my hands while answering his question.
"Are you sure you're related to Hercules?" Silver asked me.
"I'm his half-brother" I said.
"Makes sense" Silver shrugs.
"Anyways, I'll be at my cabin FaceTiming my mother" I said.
