Hades makes his debut in this chapter!
*smirks evily*
Rayne's POV
"Well thank gods her bleeding stopped" I heard a voice say as I felt my conscious come to.
"Hey I got blood all over me!" another voice snapped. I swear that voice sounded like Pain from Disney's Hercules.
"You're the one who transformed into a tourniquet!"
Okay that voice definitely sounded like Panic.
Yeah, yeah I know. Disney was for little kids in the minds of others. Well not me and frankly those who had a problem with that can bite me. To be honest I preferred the villains than the heroes. I opened my eyes and I growled as I sat myself up.
"Hey how are you feeling?" my eyes went wide.
I had to be dreaming because if my eyes were seeing correctly in front of stood Pain and Panic.
"Okay what kind of joke is this?" I demanded. "Did Samantha put you two up to this?"
"Who that blonde brat?" Pain demanded. "Sister this isn't a joke!"
"Well it sure as hell looks like one" I growled. I felt light headed and I lay back down.
"Pain shut up!" Panic scolded. The green imp then walked over to me and he used his tiny hands to help me sit up.
"This is has to be some kind of dream" I said to myself.
"Well we aren't a dream" Pain stated. "I'm Pain"
"And Panic"
"Reporting for Duty" the two of them said in unison.
"Yeah right"
"What can make you believe us then?" Pain demanded.
"Well if you two are who you say you are then transform into something" I suggested. Both imps looked to one another before they both took the form of a pink and green spider. I screamed and a banging sound later the two imps were back in their true forms.
"Did you have to hit us like that?" Pain whined as he nursed the red welt on his head. "That really hurt"
"Well don't take the form of spiders the next time!" I replied. "I hate those damn things"
"Next time we won't" Panic reassured me. "Hopefully that helped convince you"
"Yeah you did" I replied. I looked down to my right leg and saw a leaf bandage had been wrapped around my wound. My jeans had blood on them still but I ignored that.
"You two did this didn't you?" I asked nodding at the leaf bandage.
"It was Panic's idea to bring you back to Greece with us and we cleaned the blood away"
"Holy!" I began.
The two imps winced at my yell.
"Sorry it's just not every day you find out you got transported back in time, yet alone another dimension"
"Well we couldn't just leave you there" Panic said to me.
Besides Hades being my favorite character from the movie which I guessed was where I was, Pain and Panic were my second favorites.
I tried to stand up but pain shot up my leg and I had no choice but to sit back down.
"I think your leg might be broken" Pain explained.
"I think your right" I agreed with the purple imp.
"Come on we'll take you somewhere safe until we figure out something" Panic then transformed into a green horse.
"You can't take me to the damn Underworld!" I exclaimed. "Your boss will get pissed off!"
"She's right on that one" Pain replied with a shiver.
"There's a cave nearby with some supplies we gathered while watching over you" Panic reassured me. "Pain help her up"
Pain nodded before he walked over to me and he helped me to my feet. Slowly I limped over to Panic and with Pain's help I got onto his back. Once I got on his back I felt my vision getting blurry again and then I was unconscious once more.
Hades's POV
Throne Room
"What in the world is taking those two so long?" I muttered to myself. Pain and Panic should have been back by now with the Jersey Devil thanks to that dimension I sent them to. Six hours had passed and my patience was getting thin by the moment. And I was not a patient god whatsoever. The prophecy for releasing the Titans was fast approaching when the plants aligned. Then I would make my move to take over Olympus, only one thing stood in my way and it was annoying nephew. Right now Hercules was a hero in-training much to my annoyance. So far I had a good amount of monsters who gladly wanted to help in the takeover.
"Sorry we're late most evil one!" Pain greeted.
"WHERE HAVE YOU TWO BEEN?!" I shrieked. Pain and Panic whimpered as I went into my flaming mode. "YOU TWO WERE SUPPOSED TO BE BACK HOURS AGO!"
"Sorry boss something came up!" Pain yelled.
"Yeah we lost track of time" Panic added.
"Fine just don't do it again" I said as my skin returned to its normal color. "Anyway any luck with the Jersey Devil?"
"Nope sorry boss!" Pain answered. I only rolled my eyes. Normally this would make me get mad but the imps weren't that skilled in recruiting monsters.
"Eh you two need to work on your gathering monster skills" I stated before focusing my attention back to my taking over the cosmos plans.
Rayne's POV
As Panic stated there was a cave nearby with supplies for me to use. Before they left the imps changed my leaf bandage and put a real one around my leg. The two of them had to get back to the Underworld to check in with Hades before they would come back to see me. They promised a change of clean clothes to wear too. I was able to get a fire started and I greedily ate the food the imps left for me. I fell asleep after I ate and their voices were what woke me.
"Sorry we took so long Rayne!" Panic yelled as he and Pain hurried into the cave. "We had to sneak out of the Underworld without Hades knowing about it"
The two of them held a navy blue dress that had straps at the shoulders.
"Here we knew you needed these too" Pain said tossing me a pair of underwear. His face was blushing and I flashed him a smirk. I took the dress from Panic and tried to stand up. This time I didn't feel much pain. Pain and Panic then turned around so I had privacy to change. I hurriedly pulled off my clothes before pulling on my new ones.
"I'm decent now" I told the imps as I put my ruined clothes into the fire.
"That looks good on you" Pain complimented.
"Thanks" I replied.
"So if you don't mind me asking are you human or not?" Pain asked. I turned to the pink imp with an amused look.
"Nope"
"PAIN! PANIC!" the angry voice of James Woods shrieked. That could mean Hades was outside and he sounded really pissed off.
"We're in trouble" the imps said in unison.
"You two might want to go see what he wants" I nodded in the direction of the cave entrance.
"Easier said than done!" Pain whimpered.
"YOU TWO GET OUT HERE NOW!" Hades yelled again.
The two imps gulped before they turned around and walked in the direction of the cave entrance.
Hades POV
"What on earth is going on?!" I snapped at my minions as they came out of the cave I followed them to. "You two have been acting odd all day"
"Nothing!" Pain answered.
"DON'T LIE TO ME!" I roared at them flaming up again.
"It's complicated!" Panic said.
"I better hear a good explanation before I really lose my cool"
"They were helping me"
My eyes went up to see a girl about seventeen or eighteen years old looking back at me. She wore a navy blue dress and she looked annoyed that I was yelling at Pain and Panic. Her hair was dark red that had blue highlights in it. Her eyes were unique because they reminded me of the Lapis lazuli gemstone.
"What she said" Pain replied before he and Panic got behind her legs to hide from me.
"If you want to get pissed off with someone then let it be me not them" the girl stated folding her arms across her chest.
"What's your name babe?"
The girl growled and her eyes glowed gold when I called her that.
"My name is Rayne and not babe" she answered. "I got injured while protecting Pain and Panic from becoming lunch to a dragon, they brought me back here to make sure I didn't die"
"She's telling the truth boss!" Panic stated.
Rayne's POV
Hades looked to his minions before looking back to me. It felt weird to be standing in front of your favorite Disney villain but it was also exciting.
"If you don't believe me then why not talk to the Fates?" I suggested. Hades suddenly smirked and I felt my face turn red.
"Good idea Babe"
I swore as Hades snapped his fingers and the four of us disappeared into a cloud of smoke.
"Hades what did we tell you about doing that!" came the annoyed voice of Lachesis when we appeared in the Fate's lair. My eyes widened at the three dread sisters that stood in front of me.
"Ladies sorry to barge in but"
"We know why you came" the Fates interrupted the God of the Underworld in unison.
"You want more information on her" Clotho nodded at me.
The eye that the three of them shared suddenly lit up and it hovered in the air above them. A female figure appeared in the eye and I knew it was me.
"The girl who stands before you is not of human blood" Clotho began. "Born from a forbidden union that both species frown upon"
My image first took the form of a dragon that hissed out flames. The dragon then took the form of a fiery bird that cried before it exploded and ashes fell from its body.
"Whoa you're also a phoenix?!" Panic shouted. I flashed the green imp a smirk as Lachesis was the next to explain.
"The mother dies in child birth while the father is sentenced to spend eternity in a stone form"
Flames then lit up the ashes and a newborn phoenix rose out of them. The eye then gave off a flash before it fell back into Clotho's hand.
"That's it?" Hades asked.
"Do not question the Eye!" Lachesis snapped. "That's all it could show about her"
"You guys left out some other details" I interrupted.
"We didn't" Atropos added. "We know you're from a dimension where this one is fictional"
"Oh really?" Hades asked turning to me.
"They speak the truth" I told the God of Death. A question then lit up in my mind. "How the hell am I supposed to get back home?"
"That is up to you" Clotho answered.
"And only you can make that decision" Atropos finished.
The eye then levitated into the air again and the sisters swirled around it before the eye disappeared in a pop.
"OH THAT REALLY HELPS!" I snapped.
Later.
Underworld Throne Room
Still Rayne's POV
"Watch it" I gave Hades a warning growl as the bandage wrap was taken off of my leg.
"Geez babe you really got banged up" Hades said as he eyed my scratch mark that the black dragon gave me.
"No s**t" I replied.
The lord of the dead chuckled before he held his hand out over the claw marks and a second later they were gone. I also didn't feel pain in my leg anymore.
"Thanks"
"Rayne was it?" Hades asked. I flashed Hades a questioning look.
"Yes"
"Since I helped you"
"If your thinking of bribing me into helping you take down Hercules its no" I told him.
"WHY YOU?!" Hades said as he suddenly flared up. I smirked when he did that.
"What's so funny?" Hades demanded as his skin returned to its normal blue hue.
"It's amusing when you flare up like you just did" I answered. This time Hades flashed me a smirk of his own.
"Your compliment is sweet babe"
"Call me that again and I'll kick your ass" I growled. "My name is Rayne, not babe"
"Sorry babe but I call everyone that" Hades said.
"Yeah I know"
"Well Rayne if you help me"
I eyed Hades with an arched eyebrow.
"What are you offering me?"
"I can help you get home if you help me take down Jercules"
I was about to make another smartass comment but when he said those words I shut my mouth. By now I wouldn't doubt my aunt and uncle were worried about me. I wanted to go back home more than anything.
"Oh f**k it" I said. "You're just like Rumplestiltskin when it comes to deals"
"Who?" Hades questioned.
"Never mind" I replied. "If I do help you, you"ll keep your end of the bargain?"
"I'm a god of my word babe"
I growled when he called me that.
"I meant I'm a god of my word Rayne"
"Better choice of words and consider your offer accepted"
"Now that's what I'm talking about!" Hades exclaimed as his flames shot up in excitement. I actually had to duck because some of the flames shot out towards me.
"Watch where you're throwing your damn fire!" I scolded him.
Looks like Hades's got a new minion.
Rayne: *Growls*
Hades: Hey babe helping me take down Jercules is your ticket home.
Rayne: Call me that again and I'll make do on my promise to kick your ass.
Me: I'll do it!
Till next time!
