Chapter 9

Everyone looked to see Persephone standing at the base of the stairs, holding a helmet in her arms. "How'd you get past our defenses?" asks Hercules. Persephone held out the helmet and Hade's face widened in surprise as he recognizes the helmet. "The helmet of darkness," said Hades. "The helmet of darkness?" said Mal.

"It makes the wearer invisible," said Hades.

"Invisible?" said Mal. Persephone started walking towards them. "So this is the famous daughter of Hades. Tell me, is this why you never returned to the underworld?" asks Persephone, stopping in front of them.

"There where complications on my returning apart from my daughter," said Hades.

"Oh?" said Persephone. "If it helps, he wasn't there my entire life till a few years ago," said Mal.

"Hey," said Hades. Mal shrugged her shoulders. "Bad father and bad husband, not surprised," said Persephone.

"Tell me, why did you release Cronos?" Hades asked.

"You've been gone for so long, I'd thought it would be a perfect chance for my revenge," said Persephone.

"Revenge?" said Ben.

"Don't tell me you don't know my story? I'm the reason why you mortals have winter. No thanks to him," said Persephone. Ben shook his head. Persephone sighed, "What do they teach you in schools?" she said. "No matter, my revenge is for the gods that abandoned me and to you Hades. I promised Cronos complete control of the universe again once he helps me. As we speak Medusa, another person wronged by the gods, has gotten a power up that can let her turn even gods to stone," she explained. She looked behind her and sees that Medusa has done her task and slithering to her. "Ah I see the task is complete excellent. She threw the helmet to Medusa who put it on and vanished. "Farewell Hades," said Persephone. She begun to walk away from them when Mal took a sword from a palace guard and shouted, "Hey." Just as Mal raised her sword in the air she turned stone. "MAL!" shouted Ben, but to late as he too got turned to stone. Soon everyone, including Hades got to stone and as Persephone walks up the stairs, she said to Cronos who was waiting for her, "Bring their statues to the throne room. You can leave Hercules wherever," she said. "Yes my lady," said Cronos.
