Here is another chapter to make you guys laugh.
We also find out one reason why Rayne was brought to the world of Hercules.

Underworld
Rayne's POV

"It was a good thing I was sick when you tried to kill off Hippocrates boss" I growled to Hades as the two of us walked side by side. I didn't get sick often but when I did let's just say you don't want to be around me. For one my temper flared and two I don't like getting other people sick. One time Hades got his ass chewed out since he had woke me up while I had been sleeping.

"Sorry Sparks and I won't wake you up again" Hades stated.

"Good or else I'll kick your ass" I warned.

"Uh alright" Hades moaned in boredom. "What fun is in store for me today?"

"Well your surliness I have a purchase order for brimstone" Pain answered giving Hades a clipboard.

"Fine" Hades stated as he took the clipboard and signed it. Panic then gave Hades his clipboard and Hades took it and did the same thing.

Panic had other some things for Hades to sign and I could tell the boss was getting irritated. After the second signature Hades turned red as his flames turned orange.

"GAH I GOTTA GET OUT OF THE BASEMENT!" Hades shouted as his flames shot everywhere. I didn't duck in time and I got scorched. It was a good thing I was born from two fire creatures or else that blast would have killed me. Pain and Panic got scorched as well. Hades turned blue again and continued complaining. "The other gods get to make wine, love, and war, they get a view and what do I get?" Since he wasn't paying attention Hades bumped into a dead Lethe pool cleaner.

"Who is this?" Hades asked turning to us.

"Good question who am I?" the dead guy asked.

"Oi another wasted pool cleaner" Hades muttered before ushering the dead soul away.

"Uh boss?"

"What babe?" Hades asked turning to me. A banging sound later Hades rubbed his head with a red welt on it.

"Now because of your little flaming tantrum I need to take a shower" I growled wiping the ashes off of me.

"Damn babe you sure got a punch" Hades said still rubbing his head.

I stuck my tongue out at Hades before leaving him with the imps so I could take a quick shower. After that I needed to talk to the fates. The vision really got me concerned.

After I got the smell of ash and fire off of me I pulled on a black dress with a dark blue sash. I pulled my hair into a braid and of course wore my black boots underneath the dress. Since it was the weekend I was going to hang out with Alduin, Icarus, and Cassandra at the mall. Hades told me earlier he didn't need me to work so I wanted to take advantage of that.

"Looks like the invitations to your pool party are coming along nicely" I greeted the boys as I entered the throne room.

"Black looks better on you Rayne" Pain complimented.

I winked at him while Hades looked through the invitations.

"So going to see your boyfriend?" Panic teased. That got me and Hades to shoot death glares at the turquoise imp.

"He likes Cassandra not me dork" I growled.

"Even I knew that" Hades agreed. "See you later babe"

"Hades" I warned my boss with a dangerous growl.

"I meant see you later Sparks" Hades corrected himself.

"That's better"

Fate's Lair

"Hello Rayne how have you been young one?" Lachesis asked as I entered their home.

"If you count Hades driving me up the f**king wall all the time it's fine" I answered.

"He likes to irritate others that's for sure" Clotho agreed.

"I see your not participating in that party of his?" Atropos inquired.

"And get my memories wiped not a chance in hell" I replied. "Since you three know everything can you please tell what that vision meant?"

"You mean the one during the River Styx incident?" Lachesis spoke first.

"Yes it concerned me a little bit" I replied. "I'm not asking for you guys to tell my future I just want a good explanation"

The three dread sisters were quiet and they looked to one another.

"What?"

"Rayne that vision" Clotho began but Lachesis slapped a hand on her mouth to shut her up.

"She may not take well to the results!" the oldest fate scolded.

"Guys I can handle the truth" I reassured the three of them.

"Oh alright" Lachesis said before she plucked the eye from her eye socket and the eye floated in the air. An image of Hades appeared in the eye along with both a dragon and phoenix on either side of him.

"What in the?"

"For years Hades has reigned supreme" Lachesis began.

"To satisfy his need to scheme" Clotho continued.

"However one thing is left out for the Lord of the Dead" Atropos joined in.

"The lord of the dead needs a queen" the three of them finished as one.

Both the dragon and phoenix soon came together to form into a person and it appeared next to Hades.

"NO WAY?!" I exclaimed backing up my face turning red. "Hades can't be!"

The eye stopped glowing and it returned to Lachesis's hand.

"I told you she would be rattled" Lachesis told her sisters.

"You're damn right I'm rattled!" I yelled. My face was now red like a damn tomato. "You're telling me I'm Hades's mate?!"

"Actually young one he would be yours" Clotho corrected.

"Heh, heh, we'll see about that" I said before I turned around to leave.

My heart was beating a thousand miles per hour since I was so worked up.

"Bloody hell I'm screwed" I growled as I face palmed.

At the Mall

"Whoa Rayne you alright?" Cassandra asked as I met up with her and Alduin in the Food Court.

"Yeah" I answered. I noticed Icarus wasn't around.

"Where's Icarus?" I asked.

"He had a conference in Sparta with his dad" Alduin replied. "You know how excited those two get when it comes to events involving inventions"

"Nice"

I took a seat next to Cassandra. I wasn't exactly friends with her, Icarus, and Hercules but it was getting there. My whole job was to spy on Herc and report back to Hades. I had nothing wrong with Hercules to be honest, but it would be nice for once if Hades got some damn recognition.

"Any good stores around here?"

Alduin smirked and he pointed in the direction behind him. Both Cassandra and I sweat dropped because it was a lingerie store. My best friend was such a pervert.

"I know some stores you might like" Cassandra answered my question taking my hand. She first led me to a store that sold figurines and other merchandise revolving around mythical creatures. I bought a figuring of Fenrir the legendary wolf from Norse Mythology. He was also a summon in some Final Fantasy Games. There was another store that was similar to Hot Topic. I mean it sold a lot of neat stuff sadly nothing in there stood out for me today. The last store we went to was a store that sold crystals and stuff. It was called "Crystals of Healing" and it was my favorite. I loved gemstones and anything shiny since I was half dragon. I felt like a little kid going nuts when it was Christmas time.

"This is nice" Cassandra said coming over to me with a turquoise crystal hanging off of a black string. "It would look good with your turquoise dress"

"You got good eyes" I said to her. A crystal the color of dark blue caught my eye and I snagged it from its display stand. It hung off a black string too.

"You should definitely get that since it matches your dress"

Cassandra smiled and the two of us purchased our crystals before heading back to the Food Court to get something to eat with Alduin. Alduin was waiting and he had a bag with him from that damn lingerie store.

"Nice necklace" Alduin said as he we came over to him. I had put the necklace on after we left "Crystals of Healing".

I was about to respond when I saw a flash of green and pink.

"Give me a sec" I told Cassandra and Alduin before I hurried over to where Pain and Panic hid.

"What are you two doing here?!" I demanded. "Aren't you supposed to be at the pool party?"

"We can't find the keys to Olympus; we need your phoenix fire to break the lock!" Pain answered. "If not Hades will have a fit!"

"Alright, alright, just give me a damn second"

I hurried back over to Alduin and Cassandra. Cassandra laughed at something Alduin told her.

"Guys I gotta go something came up"

"Leaving so soon?" Alduin teased. I flashed my best friend a glare before smirking. I eyed Cassandra before turning back to him. Immediately Alduin went red and Cassandra was too. HA!

She liked him back!

Thank you Aphrodite!

After a quick return trip to the Underworld to drop off my stuff Pain and Panic transported us to the entrance of Olympus.

"Holy" I said feeling uneasy about standing on a cloud. I closed my eyes and focused on the phoenix within me. My body then became flaming feathers as my arms transformed into wings. My feet became smaller but I had sharp claws to shred anything into tiny pieces. I flapped my wings and flew over to the gates. The flames from my feathers radiated off of me and they hit the key hole. A spark lit up in the gate and the imps gasped in excitement. But that excitement got extinguished when the flames went out. I turned to Pain and Panic with an apologetic look. And Hades had to use that chance arrive with his chariot.

"Ah finally the penthouse!"

The boss walked past us and tried to open the gate but it didn't budge.

"Did you lock this gate?" Hades asked looking to Pain and Panic.

Pain and Panic shot each other panicked looks.

"You don't have a skeleton key would you?" Panic questioned.

"And I'm about to add two more to my collection open it now!" Hades shouted flaming up. Both Pain and Panic nodded before they threw themselves onto the gate.

"Whoa Sparks looking good babe" Hades greeted me.

I screeched at him loud enough to make his hair go out.

"Whoa did my hair go out?!" Hades asked rhetorically as he felt his bald head. I gave a laugh that came out as a shriek as Pain and Panic were failing miserably to get the gate open.

"You three go get Hephaestus he made this gate so it should open" Hades commanded. I gave the boss a nod before I grabbed Pain and Panic in my sharp talons and I flew us back into the direction of the Underworld.

"Rayne your claws are kind of sharp!" Pain shouted as I hurriedly flapped past Cerberus. The three headed guard dog was still a pup but he was cute that way. In the movie where he was fully grown he scared me sometimes. Pain and Panic directed me to where the Lethe Pool was and upon arrival my golden eyes widened. All of the gods were either sitting down or wandering about in confusion. Hephaestus sat at a nearby table and I let the imps go from my claws.

"Hey Hephaestus we need your help the gates to Olympus are locked!" Pain shouted.

"Are they really?" the God of the Forge questioned. "Did you lose the key?"

Both Pain and Panic blushed before both imps waved their arms around saying that Hades needed the gates opened pronto. I flapped over to the imps and took them into my claws again as Hephaestus transported us to the entrance of Olympus.

"Oh Heph there you are I really need this gate opened babe!" Hades called out.

"Sure" Hephaestus said before he went over to the gate and began to work on it.

"Next time Rayne don't carry us in your claws" Panic told me after I let them go. The two of them had scratch marks and I shot them an apologetic look.

"I can't just believe I locked myself I tried a credit card but no luck" Hades conjured a credit card to prove his point before he made it disappear. "How's it coming?"

"This is quality work whoever built it is a real craftsman" Hephaestus answered.

"You built it look congratulate yourself later just open the thing now" Hades flamed after he said that.

A lightning bolt shot past me and landed in front of Hades and behind Hephaestus. Hades and I turned to see Hercules dressed up in his hero outfit with all of the gods stuff with him.

"As a hero in-training I must ask you to step away from that gate"

Hades smirked before telling his nephew.

"Well as a god in charge I must ask you to get lost"

"I'm empowered by all the might of all Olympus"

"Yeah, yeah, good for you, Heph I just remembered you're not my handyman what was I thinking? You're my Bouncer, bounce him" Hades ordered Hephaestus pointing at Hercules.

"Gotcha" Hephaestus said before grabbing his hammer. Hercules growled before he came at Hephaestus. Hephaestus simply gave Herc a kick with his metal foot and the hero in-training went rolling backwards. Hercules then yelped when Hephaestus threw his hammer forward and Hercules used Athena's shield to block the assault.

"You know I delegate well" Hades gloated. I shot the boss an annoyed look. Hercules stood up while Hephaestus wiped his face off from the sweat he was experiencing. The God of Forge got poked in the rear with the trident and he went flying landing in front of the then grabbed a metal object and went after Hercules with it in his grasp. Hercules used the cloud Hephaestus was walking on and lifted it up. The God of Forge went flying again and he landed on his back. He then got smacked in the face thanks to the metal object he was going to use on Herc.

"You're going down!" Hephaestus shouted at Hercules.

Herc shot one of Aphrodite's arrows and Hephaestus blocked it. Both Hades and I ducked as the arrow hit Panic in the butt.

"You okay pal?" Pain asked.

"I'll be okay as long as I have you"

"Uh you're scaring me" Pain replied as he backed away. Hercules threw the trident and Hephaestus ducked avoiding getting hit again. The trident hit the keyhole and the gates to Olympus opened. Hades smirked before he turned to Hercules.

"Well see ya later Loser Boy!" Hades gloated as he walked through Olympus's gates. "Actually I won't be seeing you because I'll be hearing you knocking and you can't come in"

Hades laughed before Trivia the God of Where Three Roads Meet appeared behind Hades and pushed Hothead out of the gates. This time it was Hades's turn to land on his rear.

"Trivia?" Hades said in shock turning to Trivia.

"That's Tri-via" the intelligent got corrected Hades.

"How did you get in there?" Hades demanded.

"There's a little known back door I know about never underestimate the power of Trivia"

"Your no threat to me what are you crazy?!" Hades snapped heading towards him. Trivia then conjured a lightning bolt which made Hades stop dead.

"Did you know Zeus's thunderbolts can burn away a god's hide in two nano seconds?"

"Trivia"

Oh boy Hades was about to try and charm Trivia.

"Pal try this on for size you take the west wing and I'll take the east wing"

I flew over to Hades and gave the idiot a smack on the head with my wing.

"How interesting I didn't know you had a pet phoenix Hades" Trivia said looking to me.

"Beautiful isn't she?" Hades beamed as he looked to me. I gave a WTF squawk before Zeus's voice said.

"Nice try Hades"

Hades and I turned to see the other gods standing alongside Hercules.

"You got some explaining to do" Zeus told his younger brother.

"What's to explain?" Hades asked nervously. "You lost your minds, I was house sitting, ya know speaking of houses I gotta get back to mine, chow babe, chow"

Hades then disappeared in his usual flaming get away. I grabbed Pain and Panic in my talons before unleashing a shriek at the gods who always made fun of my favorite character before I flew with the imps back to the Underworld.

Underworld
Throne Room

"Damn it I was so close!" Hades shrieked. I ducked along with Pain and Panic underneath the huge table with the little figurines of everyone as Hade's lit up the whole room with his flames. This time I didn't get scorched but Pain and Panic did. Hades stormed over to his throne and sat in it.

"We'll let you have some alone time" Pain said before he grabbed Panic and they high tailed it.

"You really need to control your temper boss" I said to Hades careful to not piss him off any further.

"Easier said than done babe" Hades answered as his flames turned blue again. "I'm just so sick of not winning for once"

"How long until the planets align again?" I questioned as I eyed the figurines.

"Two more years I don't think I can last that long" Hades replied before he face palmed.

I felt bad for him when he did that. I never liked it when Hades got made fun of by his siblings. I had no problem with the other gods but it really made me mad when all they did was mock Hades.

"They bully you a lot don't they?" I asked.

"Yep they do" Hades answered removing his hand away from his face. His eyes narrowed when he saw I was annoyed. "Whoa Sparks what's with the annoyed look?"

"Bullies are my greatest pet peeve" I explained. "Pain and Panic were actually being tormented by one when I found them in my world"

"Babe at one point we all get bullied during our existence"

"Try being called a half-breed or a sin for being alive"

That got Hades to flare up a little bit.

"Who would call you that?!"

"Hades calm down"

Hades realized he got fired up and he went blue again.

"I'm fine, I'm fine, I'm cool, I'm fine"

When he got all red and raging with his flames I laughed.

"Good to see I amuse you babe" Hades said in sarcasm.

"It is pretty funny when you get all fired up" I teased him. "It's why you're my"

I then suddenly placed a hand to my mouth and I felt my face going red.

"What was that Sparks?" Hades asked arching an eyebrow.

"Nothing" I growled. I was about to leave the room when I felt Hades use his smoky grasp wrap itself around my waist.

"Nice try Rayne now you got me interested in what you were saying" Hades said as he put me down next to his throne.

"Not a chance in hell boss" I said.

"Rayne if you don't tell me you work all next weekend"

"You son of a bitch!"

I felt my eyes turn gold at that comment and Hades smirked.

"Going once"

"I'm not saying squat"

"Going twice"

"Fine you're my favorite character from my world okay?" I finally confessed.

Hades shut his mouth and I used that moment to try and get away from him. But Hades grabbed my wrist gently and pulled me back to the side of throne.

"That's interesting babe"

"I'm not repeating it again" I said firmly.

"Oh I heard it the first time babe"

I snarled at him warning him to not push it with calling me "Babe"

"Rayne I'm going to keep calling you babe no matter how mad you get at me"

"Whatever boss" I said as I walked past him.

"Rayne?"

I stopped when Hades called my name and I turned to him.

"For what's it worth I'm glad you agreed to work for me"

From the way he just said that Hades meant it. And that was out of the norm for him.

I flashed him a smirk.

"Working for you is never dull"

"Thanks babe"

I rolled my eyes before I left the throne room.

Dream

Damn it!

I was having another vision again!

Or well it was a dream.

Hades placed me on a bed and he placed his hand over the wound. The wound from where Hercules had stabbed me wasn't healing.

"No damn it!" Hades roared as he flared up.

"I told you that my time is coming" I said to Hades.

"Babe you aren't going anywhere" Hades said as he took one of my hands into his. "I need you at my side"

"Stubborn fool if the Fate's saw this coming you have no choice but to let me die"

"I won't allow it!" Hades shouted as he slammed his fist against the night stand that sat beside the bed. He then caressed my face with his other hand. I gave Hades a fanged smirk before I saw myself breathe for the last time and my eyes closed. Hades didn't say anything until I saw a tear slide down his face.

"Sparks don't leave me babe" Hades then took my lifeless body into his grasp and he brought me close to him. Then bringing his face down towards mine his lips touched mine.

Reality

"Holy!" I shouted as I woke.

"That vision scared you didn't it?"

The Fate's stood next to my bed.

"What do you think?" I asked in sarcasm. "Clearly I'm not going to get back home since Hercules kills me"

"Normally we don't show anyone their future but you Rayne are another matter" Lachesis explained. "When the time is right both your dragon and phoenix halves will recognize Hades as your mate"

"Isn't Persephone supposed to fill that role?" I asked sitting up.

"That's Hades's niece!" Clotho protested.

"Bad image" Atropos shivered.

"Please ladies no disrespect but in my world the Greek gods and goddesses don't really pay attention who they decide for a spouse" I stated. It was my turn to shiver at that. The Ancient Greek Myths sure had perverted storylines.

"Not to mention Zeus is also a womanizer" I uttered.

"We knew that too" the three sisters said in unison.

"Yeah I had a feeling you three did, so are you telling me I can't prevent my death?"

"Again child that is up to you" Lachesis answered. "It depends on how far you are willing to go to be with your mate"

I didn't say anything when she said that to me.

Both my dragon and phoenix halves were silent. Whenever Hades was around they acted normally.

"In time young one will your inner beasts acknowledge Hades"

"Oi I need a vacation" I said talking like the boss.

The Fate's then chuckled before they swirled around their eye and it disappeared into a pop.

Hope that makes you guys get excited when Rayne and Hades do get together. But that's not going to happen just yet. So please be patient with me!
Till next time.
