Wow! It's been a long time since I posted. LOL…I broke my New Year's Resolution very quickly didn't I? Anywho…I'm done exams for a few weeks and if my life decides not to play like a soap opera I will hopefully be posting more often.

On with the story. Please review…

The Wedding Day

For the first time in millenia the sun was in danger of not rising. Currently Apollo was sleeping under the table where he'd passed out the night before. Luckily Apollo had the forethought to ask his son to step in for him.

Hercules conscious of his duty struggled upright. He fell out of the door and made his way to the stream that flowed around his father's house.

He dunked his head into the cold water and forced himself to sober up. That was the downside of being half human. He felt it the next morning. He looked t the position of the sun – he was too hung over to remember the boy's name and cursed. They only had an hour to get to the Temple of Marriage. Somewhat sober he ran back into the house.

"Ares!"

Groans of pain answered him. Zeus' head appeared with a lady's undergarment hanging off his ear.

"It's a good thing you're my son and I'm too drunk to aim straight,"

"Merciful father,"

"I know. What's all the racket about?"

"We only have an hour to get to the temple. Where's Ares?"

"Try his room," he groaned, "you do know that we're just orbing there?"

"I knew that," Hercules muttered feeling a blush creep up his cheeks.

"Uh huh," Zeus groaned and put his head in his hands, "Merciful me, I feel like I did when Athena was in my head."

Hercules chuckled in sympathy and left to find the groom.

Ten minutes later he returned without his brother. He had a puzzled expression on his face.

"He's not there, Dad," he informed Zeus,

"Really?"

Hercules nodded and ran his left hand through his much shorter hair, "there was no sign of Ares, but Candy was in his bed."

"You don't think…"

Hercules shrugged. "Maybe he went hoe to get something."

"Doesn't sound like him? Let's orb over and get him," the King of the Gods rose as majestically as once can with alcohol still running through one's system and a pair of ladies underwear hanging off one ear. He removed the undergarment before disappearing with his son.

They appeared in Ares' home and gasped at the destruction in front of them. Furniture was broken and burned. There were scorch marks scattered through the room.

"Do you think he was attacked?"

"No one could get past his security. No. He did this himself. He must be extremely upset or angry,"

"He's done this before?"

"yes. When Caila died. But he's been better,"

"Oh," Hercules started walking through the debris looking for clues.

"I can't think of anything that would set him off like this,"

"I can," he rose from his crouched position and handed over a piece of parchment.

A storm of anger crossed Zeus' face when he read it. "That deceitful BITCH!"

"I don't believe that she would do something like this," the hero defended.

They both quieted when something on Zeus' belt flared with a blue light.

"Oh no," he cursed.

"What?"

"I'm the God of War again,"

"Huh? I thought Ares was,"

"Was being the operative word," he walked over to the pool and growled, "Show me Ares."

"I thought only Ares could use it,"

"I am King. All access pass,"

"Cute,"

"Besides I'm War now,"

"Got ya. Well where is he?"

They both leaned in and saw the ex-God in chains being tortured.

"He's in Tartarus," Zeus whispered.

A/N:

If I had kept the title as is, it would be a VERY long story, so I decided to break it up into two. I'm working on the children right now. It will be a while before I post the sequel since I have some stories to complete first. Bear with me. :-)
