Hey, guys! Here is the seventh chapter of Super World Chronicles! The Union team up with Heracles to stop Hades in 1 hour before he wages war on Olympus! Hope you like it.
Chapter 7 - God of the Underworld: Part One
The Underworld
Standing inside the palace's throne room of the Underworld God Hades, the Union and Heracles prepared themselves for battle.
"He's coming." Heracles said.
"Yeah." Naruto said.
All members of the Union, even those that were very frightened, braced themselves as the Lord of the Dead is making his appearance.

Heroes Office, Downtown Dallas, Dallas, Texas
20 minutes ago…
A flashback to before heading to the Underworld, the Union quickly tended to Heracles' wounds and learned of the situation: Hades stole the Master Bolt from the God of the Skies and Thunder and king of Mount Olympus, Zeus. Zeus tasked Heracles to retrieve it from the Underworld in one hour before a war between Olympus and the Underworld could erupt, destroying the very heavens themselves.
"But somehow, Hades knew I was coming and prepared a trap." Heracles explained.
"I was only able to barely escape through some kind of strange hole near the River Styx and ended up here." Heracles continued.
"Sorry to ask you youngsters of this, but will you help me stop my uncle?" Heracles finished.
The Union were unsure themselves as to help or not since this is beyond their normal capabilities.
But the Acts of Hope weren't deterred and knew the gravity of the situation if something doesn't happen.
"There's only thing we can do." Ichigo said.
"Even though most of you won't like it." Naruto said.

In the de-briefing room, the Union came to an unanimous decision and immediately talked to Kakashi and the other mentors.
"You're saying you want to help Heracles recover the Master Bolt?" Aizawa asked.
"You all realize the dangers you're getting in. Once you cross into the Underworld, you'll all be on your own." Kakashi explained.
"We're aware. But if it's to prevent an all-out war between gods that could be catastrophic, we have to try." Shikamaru explained.
The mentors looked at each other and saw the look in the eyes of each of the Union being determined to help despite the risks.
"Alright. Consider this the Union's first mission." Kakashi said.
"Yes, sir!" The Union hollered in unison.

In the backyard, Kisuke immediately used Garganta technology to create the same portal that brought Heracles to the Heroes' Office and start it up. Now fully recovered, Heracles wished to accompany them so they have a guide through the Underworld.
The Union were getting ready, but had to leave Eri, Kota, Hootle, Kon and Melissa behind because of the danger they're going in.
"Sorry you five can't come, but it's too dangerous." Izuku explained.
"We understand. You guys just be very careful." Melissa said.
"You guys don't have to worry. With me around, the lovely Melissa-chan and the sweet Eri-chan are safe and sound." Kon (now in Ichigo's human body) said.
"Not on your life." Kota thought, annoyed.
"Wouldn't be on it. And Kon, don't even think about going around town chasing girls." Ichigo warned.
Kon blew a raspberry in defiance.
Izuku and Ochaco kneeled to Eri, make sure she's not worried.
"We'll be back, sweetie." Ochaco said.
"Just listen to Aizawa-sensei and stay out of trouble." Izuku said.
Eri nodded and gave her adoptive parents a comforting hug, which the two students returned in kind.
"You'll be safe here too, Hootle. I promise we'll be back." Rinwell said, patting the little owlet.
Hootle hooted in sadness, which Rinwell patted him on the head again to assure his best friend will be alright.
Kisuke completed the final touches as the Garganta-based portal to the Underworld was ready to use.
"Okay, is everyone ready?" Kisuke asked.
The Union nodded in agreement.
"Then to the Underworld you all go." Kisuke said, moving to the side.
"Remember. Your lives are important besides the mission." Kakashi explained.
"So come back… together." Kakashi said.
The Union nodded in agreement, as did Heracles.
One-by-one, the Union and Heracles entered through and made their way into the Underworld.
XXX
At least 3 minutes later, the Union and Heracles managed to reach the last place the God of Fortitude was before escaping, which was inside the Fields of Asphodel.
Most of the Union's more frightened members were feeling scared already.
The Soul Reapers among them felt a dark resemblance to the place they went to a year ago in their world.
"Feels just like the Hell from our world." Renji said.
"And still very unpleasant." Uryu said, adjusting his glasses.
"I seem to recall your group traveled to this 'Hell' one time?" Dohalim asked.
"Yeah. When we had to save one of my sisters, Yuzu." Ichigo explained, remembering the incident he tried to save Yuzu and stop Kokuto from escaping Hell.
"Hell is a place where the souls of those people who commit unforgivable acts while alive aren't allowed to cross over to the Soul Society." Rukia explained.
"Those sent to Hell are bound by chains, so any attempts to escape for all eternity." Rukia continued.
"Forever condemned to pain and suffering." Rukia finished, holding a picture of actually her rabbit drawings describing Hell.
Almost everyone were dumbfounded.
"Wow. Been a long time since you graced us with your art." Ichigo commented, sarcastically.
"Sai draws better than that." Naruto said.
Rukia threw the picture at Ichigo in the face, while Sakura slammed her fist into the back of Naruto's head.
"It looks fine to me." Sai said.
"Why thank you." Rukia said.
"In any case, both Hell and the Underworld are entirely different since the Underworld is the realm of departed souls according to mythology, while Hell is the Christian afterlife for those who committed unforgivable sins." Momo Yaoyorozu explained, which impressed Kisara, Shoto, Itsuka, Tenya and Shikamaru.
"And considering what we're standing in, is the Fields of Asphodel." Heracles explained.
"I've heard from the history books it's the final resting place for the neutral - those who are neither good nor evil bound to walk like emotionless beings under the watchful eye of Hades." Rinwell explained.
"Damn, you've been studying hard." Law commented.
"At least I have been. You've been dozing off every time in our classes." Rinwell said, making Law sulk.
"Much like you, Kami." Kyoka said.
"Hey!" Kaminari exclaimed.
"We better get moving. It's hard for anyone with weak vitality to handle anywhere in the Underworld." Sasuke explained.
"Let's add to the fact we only have almost 45 minutes left before all-out war on Olympus." Shikamaru explained.
"Then we better move." Heracles said.

After crossing the Fields of Asphodel while avoiding the walking souls, the Union and Heracles managed to the front door of the Palace of Hades, entering through its front doors with determination.
They walked inside straight into the throne room of the Underworld God as the air became foul and deadly. Even Tokoyami tried his hardest to control Dark Shadow since this new environment is harder than the ordinary darkness.
"Well, well. It seems the Boy Wonder has brought children back into my domain." A voice commented.
The Union looked in front of the throne with some light shining onto the figure sitting in it, revealing the Underworld God Hades revealed in all his dark glory with his Helm of Darkness, and dressed in a skeletal-yet royal black and gold armored-and-robbed appearance. Holding in his left hand is the legendary Master Bolt.
Hinata, Pan, Izuku, Sakura, Ino, Choji, Orihime, Momo Hinamori, Rinwell, Hootle, Ochaco, Tsuyu, Kaminari, Kyoka, Mineta, Mina, Tamaki and Hatsume became frightened by his armored appearance and black aura.
"So that's Hades." Hitoshi said.
"Such darkness. It's overwhelming." Tokoyami said.
"I'm lovin' it!" Dark Shadow hollered, getting violent.
"Quite!" Tokoyami hollered, trying to regain control.
"So you fools think you can take the Master Bolt from me?" Hades asked.
"That's right, Hades! We're not gonna let you start a war with your fellow gods!" Alphen hollered.
"Just because you hate your brother doesn't give you the right to bring innocent people into it!" Izuku hollered.
"Spare me your words, mortals. My little brother won't have the Heavens forever." Hades explained.
"Once the war begins, I will strike him and his fellow Olympians down and then both the Heavens and the Underworld will be ruled by Hades!" Hades hollered.
"I can't believe a god such as you would want to take out your baby brother! Talk about pathetic!" Bakugo hollered.
"Don't piss him off, you idiot!" Renji, Law, Kaminari and Mineta hollered in unison.
"You won't get away with this, Hades! These children and I will stop you!" Heracles hollered.
"Big words. But there's too many of you in my domain." Hades said.
Hades slowly raised his right hand, causing everyone to be very alert. "Let's make things more interesting."
With an open palm, dozens of black portals that sprouted skeletal arms that grabbed everyone. Naruto, Ichigo, Alphen, Izuku, Sasuke and Bakugo were the only ones that managed to escape. The skeletal hands dragged everyone else down as they tried to futilely hold on and escape. Naruto, Ichigo, Alphen, Izuku, Sasuke and Bakugo were shocked.
"What the hell did you do?!" Ichigo asked, in an angry manner.
"Do not fret, boy. All your compatriots are fine." Hades replied.
"But they'll have their hands full with my own party." Hades continued.
Naruto, Ichigo, Alphen, Izuku, Sasuke and Bakugo quickly surmised that Hades had plan to separate everyone to where his own minions would kill them.

Hinata fell into a grass field hard, slowly getting back on her feet as she groaned.
She awoken to see herself in a strange environment that is full of green and purity, compared to the hellish landscape of the Underworld.
She turns to see Orihime, Shionne, Pan, Ochaco, Kiba, Akamaru, Shino, Mirio, Nejire and Tamaki standing next to her.
"Any idea of where we are?" Hinata asked.
"You mortals, are in the Elysium Fields." A voice explained.
Hinata, Orihime, Shionne, Pan, Ochaco, Kiba, Akamaru, Shino, Mirio, Nejire and Tamaki quickly turned to see a tall woman wearing flower-themed and skeletal clothing, with black and magenta hair and teal eyes that are filled with evil.
Standing before them is Hades' wife and the Goddess of Vegetation and the Harvest, Persephone.
"It seems my husband likes sending people to places that will benefit in their demise." Persephone explained.
"Not likely, lady." Kiba said.
"Take her down!" Shionne hollered.
"Gentle Fist!" Hinata hollered.
"Koten Zanshun!" Orihime shouted.
"Displode!" Shionne shouted.
"Stardust Lift!" Ochaco shouted.
"Homing Strike!" Pan shouted.
"Man Beast Clone! Fang Over Fang!" Kiba shouted, joining with Akamaru.
"Hidden Jutsu: Beetle Sphere!" Shino shouted.
"Justice Uppercut!" Mirio shouted.
"Blast Wave!" Nejire shouted.
"Octopus Whip!" Tamaki shouted.
Hinata's group combined their powers to do some damage, but Persephone easily defended herself with vines that sprouted from the ground, creating a powerful shield.
"Dammit!" Kiba hollered.
"If that's the best you children have, then killing you all will be easy." Persephone said.
Persephone conjured a flaming skull that flew straight towards them.
"Incoming!" Tamaki hollered.
"Protective Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms!" Hinata shouted, creating a dome of chakra that managed to withstand the exploding skull.
"She's really strong." Orihime said.
"Yeah. But there's something else that has me on edge." Shionne explained.
"Like what?" Mirio asked.
"Don't know. But it's not very good." Shionne replied.
Persephone let out a smirk.

Heracles swung his divine club against a monstrous head, forcing it to reel back.
He is currently facing off against the Lernaean Hydra (with it having ten heads) in the River Styx alongside Lee, Tenten, Rinwell, Law, Tsuyu, Tokoyami and Inasa.
"Damn, you weren't kidding when one head is removed, two more grow back." Tenten explained, having remembered managing to cut off all five original Hydra heads earlier with an extremely large machete alongside Law and Rinwell, only for it to grow to ten heads.
"I'm sorry for not warning you earlier." Heracles said.
"Hang on. Didn't you defeated this thing as the legend told?" Tokoyami asked.
"Yes. I had my nephew Iolaus cauterize each head stump after beheading, then ripped it to pieces with my bare hands before crushing it under a massive rock as one of my 12 Labors." Heracles replied.
"That's so PASSION!" Lee and Inasa shouted in unison.
"Not the time, you idiots!" Tenten exclaimed.
"Then I guess we gotta keep hitting until we bring this damn thing down? Piece of cake!" Law hollered.
"Don't be rash, you dummy!" Rinwell hollered.
Law charged at the Hydra with fierce courage, jumping over one of the lunging heads aimed at him.
"Glimmer Dragon!" Law shouted, shooting a crescent wind projectile at two of the heads that, while didn't do permanent damage, managed to stagger the beast long enough for Heracles to dish out his own brand of pain with a club swing.
"Your idea seems excellent, lad." Heracles commented.
"Let's keep on the pressure!" Tokoyami hollered.
"Leaf Rising Wind!" Lee shouted.
"Ninja Tool: Blasting Sphere!" Tenten shouted.
"Raging cascade… Spread!" Rinwell shouted, performing an Arte incantation to make the attack stronger.
"Frog Arrow!" Tsuyu shouted.
"Black Ankh! Piercing Twilight Claws!" Tokoyami shouted, activating the armored version of his Quirk.
"Wind Blast!" Inasa shouted.
Lee, Tenten, Rinwell, Tsuyu, Tokoyami and Inasa combined their attacks to deal more pain on the ten-headed lizard.

"Damn, we can't find an opening." Momo Yaoyorozu muttered, hiding behind a large tree as she, Shoto, Rukia, Renji, Sai and Camie are back in the Fields of Asphodel, facing off against the terrifying gordon mistress, Medusa.
"There's no escape from me, children." Medusa said.
"Shit. We can't lay so much as a finger on her without looking directly into her eyes." Rukia thought.
"C'mon, Yaoyorozu - think! Legend says that the hero Perseus defeated Medusa by making her look at her own reflection, allowing Perseus to behead her." Momo Yaoyorozu thought.
"But I'm gonna need time." Momo Yaoyorozu thought.
"Everyone! Buy me as much time as you can!" Momo Yaoyorozu hollered.
"I'm gonna need your help on this, Utsushimi-san!" Momo Yaoyorozu continued.
"Roger that, Yaomomo." Camie said.
"Then let's hit and run!" Renji hollered.
"Just don't look at her in the eyes!" Shoto hollered.
Shoto, Rukia, Renji and Sai charged at Medusa with hit-and-run attacks with one second they use a fast attack, then quickly run before Medusa could petrify them with her "Gorgon stare".
"You irritating gnats! Hold still!" Medusa hollered.
Medusa attempted to throw her snake arms at Sai since he was the last to attack, but "Sai" turned into ink and dodged in time.
"Cheap trick, scum!" Medusa hollered.
Medusa was hit by a blast of fire from Shoto, before he used a layer of ice to cover his escape.
Medusa was growing irritated.
"Hey, totes. How's it hanging?" Camie asked, appearing in front of Medusa.
Medusa grinned wickedly.
"How foolish, girl." Medusa said, wrapping Camie around in a vice grip with her lower body.
Medusa quickly slithered in an attempt to petrify Camie.
"Now, you're my first victim to be stone, pretty girl." Medusa said.
Camie continued to smile as the purification started to process. But in a twist, "Camie" turned into pink smoke and vanished, shocking the gorgon.
"WHAT?!" Medusa exclaimed, as the mist revealed to be a cover-up for a tall metallic shield that reflected Medusa's petrification and negated it.
Momo Yaoyorozu appeared from behind the shield with her eyes closed, happy her plan worked.
"Now let's hit her with everything we've got while she's distracted!" Momo Yaoyorozu shouted.
"Dancing Flame!" Shoto shouted.
"Creation!" Momo Yaoyorozu shouted.
"Crescent Dance!" Camie shouted.
"Ninja Art: Super Beast Scroll!" Sai shouted.
"Some no mai, Tsukishiro!" Rukia shouted.
Shoto, Momo Yaoyorozu, Camie, Sai and Rukia combined their attacks to overwhelm Medusa, angering the Gorgon.
"I'll kill you! I'll kill you all!" Medusa hollered.
Renji used Flash Step and appeared behind Medusa without warning.
"The one dying is you, snake!" Renji hollered.
"Roar, Zabimaru!" Renji shouted, quickly beheading Medusa with his Shikai slashing in a wide horizontal range that Medusa couldn't escape.
The headless Medusa rolled to the ground, while the rest of the body fell down hard.
Everyone in Momo Yaoyorozu's group opened their eyes now that Medusa isn't a threat.
"Damn. Fighting this thing with our eyes closed wasn't an easy task." Renji said.
"Your plan worked, Yaoyorozu. Good job." Shoto commented.
Momo Yaoyorozu blushed and bowed in acknowledgment, ignoring the sneaky grins from Camie and Rukia.
XXX
Right outside the Judgement Pavillon, Sakura, Shikamaru, Ino, Momo Hinamori, Uryu, Dohalim and Mineta were running from the Mother of All Spiders, Arachne, standing at the top of the Pavillon itself outside, shooting her webs to stick them.
"Stay out of her range! We need a way to bring her down!" Uryu hollered, firing his arrows at some incoming webs.
"We need a distraction…" Shikamaru said, before turning to a cowering Mineta, who is hiding behind a large rock.
"Mineta! Can you be our bait?" Shikamaru asked.
"But why me?!" Mineta exclaimed.
"Because you're the best option to buy us time. And you're good at being bait anyway." Dohalim commented.
"Some ex-lord you are! You're all crazy if I-" Mineta said.
"JUST GET TO IT, DAMMIT!" Sakura and Ino shouted in unison, visibly annoyed.
Mineta shrieked since he couldn't say no to women and started doing his job, firing his sticky balls at Arachne, who just noticed him and shot the balls down with her webs.
"Too weak, little boy." Arachne said.
"Man, for a spider lady she's hot! But have to do my job! In fact, the ladies will love me for being heroic like this!" Mineta thought, not wanting to let his dirty thoughts get in the way of doing what needs to be done.
Arachne jumped down and shot a web that stopped Mineta in his tracks, then wrapped him up in a web cocoon as Mineta struggled to escape.
"Now, now, my little boy. There's no need to struggle." Arachne said.
"It'll all be over soon." Arachne said, getting ready to sink her fangs.
But in a quick moment, Arachne couldn't move a muscle.
"W-What is this?!" Arachne thought.
"That would me my Mind Transfer Jutsu and Shikamaru's Shadow Possession Jutsu to stop you body and mind!" Ino hollered, having used her clan's signature technique along with the signature technique of the Nara clan performed by Shikamaru to halt Arachne completely.
Uryu quickly appeared using Hirenkyaku and sliced Mineta free of his web bindings with Seele Schnider.
Sakura, Momo Hinamori and Dohalim quickly entered the scene.
"Let's hit her while Shikamaru and Ino have her down!" Sakura hollered.
"Cherry Blossom Clash!" Sakura shouted.
"Seele Schnider!" Uryu shouted.
"Hado #31: Shakkaho!" Momo Hinamori shouted.
"Crescent Flash!" Dohalim shouted.
"Save some for me too! Super Duper Stick!" Mineta shouted.
Sakura, Uryu, Momo Hinamori, Dohalim and Mineta combined their moves to put the hurt on the spider woman once Shikamaru and Ino released their hold on her.
Arachne screamed in pain before she was finally out.
"Well, that wasn't so hard." Dohalim said.
"Are you guys kidding me?! I nearly died back there!" Mineta hollered, frantically complaining.
"At least you're not bad at keeping the enemy busy." Sakura commented.
"And consider it payback to us girls for attempting to peep into the locker rooms." Ino explained.
Mineta gulped hard.
"I sometimes worry how Class A puts up with him?" Momo Hinamori asked.
Shikamaru, Uryu and Dohalim wouldn't dare to answer.

"Incoming!" Tenya hollered, moving to the side to avoid a blast of fire.
He, Choji, Sado, Kisara, Nala, Kirishima, Mina, Kaminari, Kyoka, Hitoshi, Tetsutetsu, Itsuka and Hatsume are facing off against the Guard Dog of the Underworld, Cerberus, straight at the Underworld gates near the Walls of Erebos.
"We had to fight Hades' pet, didn't we?!" Kaminari asked, frightened.
"Stop your complaining!" Kyoka hollered.
Ceberus growled furiously before he charged at Tenya's group.
Sado and Kisara were quick on their feet and pulled out their shields, blocking two of the three heads with effort. Nala jumped above Cerberus and bit very hard on the middle head's neck with her fangs.
"He's a tough doggie!" Nala hollered.
Choji used Partial Expansion Jutsu to grab the third and middle head with both hands by keeping the mouth closed.
"He's really strong!" Choji hollered, struggling.
"Let's knock this mangy mutt off them!" Tetsutetsu hollered, activating his Quirk and turning his skin into steel.
"You said it, bro! Let's go!" Kirishima hollered, also activating his own Quirk to harden his skin.
"Red Gauntlet!" Kirishima shouted.
"Steel Fist!" Tetsutetsu shouted.
Kirishima and Tetsutetsu punched the left and right heads of Cerberus hard, getting them off Kisara and Sado to give'em breathing room.
Hitoshi quickly ducked behind the three-headed dog and used his own Binding Cloth to try and wrap his back legs.
"Even if my Quirk can't work on you since you're fully bound to Hades, I can still fight in other ways!" Hitoshi hollered.
"We need to keep on the pressure! Don't let up!" Itsuka hollered.
"Partial Expansion Jutsu!" Choji shouted, now using his enlarged left leg to let go first and give the others the chance to follow-up.
"Brazo Derecho del Gigante!" Sado shouted.
"Piercing Roar!" Kisara shouted.
"Recipro Gyro!" Tenya shouted.
"Acid Shot!" Mina shouted.
"Eight Beat Heart!" Kyoka shouted.
"Double Jumbo Fist!" Itsuka shouted.
"Capture Gun!" Hatsume shouted.
The others (excluding Kaminari) delivered more pain on Cerberus. Kaminari soon appeared on top on Cerberus and placed his hands on the middle head.
"Get ready for the shock of your life! Indiscriminate Shock: 1.3 Million Volts!" Kaminari shouted, unleashing his Ultimate Move on Cerberus, shocking him all over.
Kaminari was soon in his "Dummy Phase" after going over his limit, which Tenya quickly rescued his fellow classmate as Cerberus attempted to shake him off.
"We won't stop until we bring him down!" Tenya hollered.
"Right!" Choji, Sado, Kisara, Kirishima, Mina, Kyoka, Tetsutetsu, Itsuka, Hatsume and Hitoshi hollered in unison.
"Yay…" Kaminari said, with a right thumb-up.

Naruto and Ichigo dodged a pair of dark jagged claws from Hades, which appears to be the Claws of Hades.
Bakugo charged recklessly at Hades, propelling himself with explosions to get a clean shot.
"Eat this, god! Stun Grenade!" Bakugo shouted, flashing around him with the explosion to blind the Underworld God.
But Hades wasn't so much blinded thanks to already creating a massive rock to defend himself easily, to Bakugo's shock.
"Pathetic." Hades said.
Hades attempted to take Bakugo's soul with one of his claws, but Sasuke was the first to act quickly.
"Chidori Sharp Spear!" Sasuke shouted, shooting a long Chidori blade at the claw to prevent any movement.
"Double Demon Fang!" Alphen shouted, firing two homing blasts that attacked the second claw when Hades attempted to strike from his left.
Bakugo quickly backed off and landed near Sasuke and Alphen.
"I didn't ask for your help!" Bakugo hollered.
"Shut up. You're too reckless." Sasuke said, making Bakugo angry.
"Can you two not argue?!" Alphen asked, diffusing the situation.
Hades attempted to strike the trio, but Izuku was quick to intercept by using Full Cowling at 8%.
"St. Louis Smash!" Izuku shouted, delivering a powerful roundhouse kick at Hades but didn't flinch.
Ichigo started to follow by firing a Getsuga Tensho at close range to push Hades back a little.
"Is that really all you got?" Hades asked.
"Guess I better step it up." Ichigo said.
"Bankai!" Ichigo shouted, activating his Bankai and entered his "High-Speed Combat" with afterimages to confuse the Underworld God.
But Hades wouldn't fall for it and attacked Ichigo with his chains, slamming him into a wall.
Naruto summoned two shadow clones with each using a Rasengan in hand. Hades summoned skeletal hands from the ground to hold them down, forcing the clones to disappear.
Alphen, Izuku, Sasuke and Bakugo charged together, but Hades swung his claws and shot out dark fiery skulls that nailed them head-on, slamming them into the walls.
"Guys, no!" Naruto hollered.
If there were a smirk inside Hades, there would be no doubt he's up to something wicked.
"Darling. It's time." Hades thought.
XXX
Persephone felt Hades' telepathic message and smirked, which was quickly noticed by Mirio.
"Is something funny?" Mirio asked.
"Just setting the stage for your demise." Persephone replied.
"I knew it: Hades meant to separate us, didn't he?" Shionne asked.
Persephone answered by summoning plants that dragged Hinata's group down to the grounds of Elysium.
"What the?!" Ochaco exclaimed.
"We're getting sucked in again!" Nejire hollered.
XXX
It wasn't just Hinata's group, the others who recently finished off Medusa and Arachne, and those still fighting against Cerberus and the Hydra, were also forcibly dragged down.
XXX
Soon enough, the downed Ichigo, Alphen, Izuku, Sasuke and Bakugo were getting dragged down as well, leaving only Naruto and Hades.
Naruto became angry.
"You bastard!" Naruto hollered.
"And now everyone will get a show of your demise." Hades said.
Naruto charged recklessly and attempted to attack Hades, but the Underworld God kept dodging every strike the Leaf ninja attempted.
"Multi Shadow Clone Jutsu!" Naruto shouted, summoning more shadow clones to overwhelm Hades.
Hades swung his claws above his head as a tornado blew from his godly might, blowing away all the clones and pushed the real Naruto back into a wall.
Naruto didn't have time to react as the Claws of Hades just pierced him by the shoulders, causing him to flinch in pain.
"And now… your soul is mine!" Hades hollered.
Naruto started to scream in pain as his soul was starting to get sucked.
XXX
The Union and Heracles were starting to regain consciousness to realize they're now standing in a strange coliseum with Persephone, Cerberus and the Hydra standing before them.
Naruto's screams were suddenly echoing through the Underworld, alerting everyone.
"Was that… Naruto-kun?!" Hinata asked, very worried.
Persephone showed the Union, to their absolute horror, Hades sucking Naruto's soul with a dark holographic image floating above them.
"Naruto!" The Union shouted in unison.
"Once my husband sucks the soul out of this boy you all look up to, it's futile to stop us from bringing war on Olympus." Persephone explained.
"They were separating us… just to go after Naruto?!" Shionne thought, realizing too late what Hades was truly after.
"Damn you, Persephone!" Heracles hollered.
"But don't worry. You'll all be joining him - souls together in the pits of Tartarus!" Persephone hollered, thrusting skeletal hands from the ground as both Cerberus and the Hydra fired joint fire breath attacks that blasted the Union and Heracles extremely hard, knocking them all on the ground with severe burns and blunt force injuries, but all were miraculously alive.
"Dammit… I can't move…!" Bakugo thought.
"They're too strong!" Izuku thought.
"We can't give up! We have to keep fighting!" Alphen thought.
"Stand up! You mustn't give up!" Ichigo thought.
"We need you, Naruto! Don't let this be everyone's end!" Sakura thought.
"Naruto, you loser. If you lose to a god, I won't forgive you." Sasuke thought.
The Union looked up to see Hades still continuing to pull Naruto's soul, as Naruto tried to the fight the grip.
"It's almost over." Persephone said.
"Please don't…" Hinata said, crying as she gripped her fists so hard they drew a little of blood.
Cerberus and the Hydra were drawing closer to the downed Union and Heracles to finish them all off, as each and every one of them prepare for the worst to come with no means of fighting back.
"STOP IT~!" Hinata yelled.
The two monsters were about to close in for the kill, but in that moment…
"Detroit… SMASH!" A voice shouted; a powerful punch came from the right struck Cerberus extremely hard, crashing him into the Hydra as a large crater emitted from the impact.
Persephone, and even Hades (who immediately stopped draining Naruto's soul) were surprised.
Everyone looked up to see their savior. One all the Hero Course students, Hatsume and Hitoshi were wide-eyed and smiling (with some of the girls like Ochaco, Mina, Kyoka, Momo Yaoyorozu, Itsuka and Nejire in tears and Bakugo, Tokoyami and Shoto smirking). The ninja, Soul Reapers and their associates, and Arte users all smiled with some like Sakura, Ino, Orihime, Momo Hinamori and Rinwell starting to cry out of relief, and some like Sasuke smirking, seeing their savior to be none other than All Might in his muscular form, Hero Costume, and with a very angry expression on his face.
"It's fine, young ones." All Might said.
Izuku, the most happy of all, started to cry with a wide smile to see his mentor and father figure save him and everyone once again.
"All Might!" Izuku thought.
"Because… I AM HERE!" All Might shouted.
The former Symbol of Peace has come to save the day once again in the Union's dire hour of need.
But with only at least 20 minutes remaining, will there be enough time to end this and prevent war on Olympus?!
Preview Skit:
Rinwell: Who would've thought the Underworld would be so scary!
Law: Yeah, with all the dead people and monsters coming at every corner.
Tenten: It is very disturbing.
Tokoyami: The darkness is so overwhelming. Even Dark Shadow is becoming more restless.
Tsuyu: Please don't give into the darkness, Tokoyami-chan.
Tokoyami: I won't. Because I have friends that will help me find my way again.
Tsuyu (blushing): Ribbit, ribbit.
Law: Okay, lovebirds. Let's save the flirting for after we get out of this hellhole.
Tokoyami and Tsuyu blushed hard and stammered.
Rinwell: Think before you speak, idiot.
Law: I was just reminding ourselves of the situation were in right now!
Tenten: Big talk coming from you lovebirds.
Law (blushing furiously): I-It's not like that!
Rinwell (also blushing furiously): Why do you girls keep assuming?!
Tsuyu: Well, you two were never good at being in denial.
Tenten: Yeah, even Ochaco and Hinata aren't that good.
Law & Rinwell groaned.
Tokoyami: Next time: Chapter 8 - God of the Underworld: Part Two.
Tokoyami: The darkness is deadly. But we refuse to surrender.
Did you enjoy it? Probably the longest chapter I've ever done in Super World Chronicles with the Union fighting against a Greek God for the first time, but help arrives in the nick of time, and next chapter's gonna be more epic now that All Might is ready to face adversity to save the day!
