The Warriors: Protectors of the Multiverse
Chapter 117
After being embarrassed by Zeus and the other gods Hade decided he wants to get revenge on them by getting rid of Zeus and taking over Olympus but before he does he sees the future of how it goes down for him
The scene changes to a chamber with the Fates
Darling, hold that mortal's thread of life good and tight. Atropos said
Atropos cuts a thread with some scissors and a woman's scream is heard
Incoming! Lachesis said
The Fates laugh as a soul enters the cave and flies into a tunnel the counter above the tunnel now says "Over 5000000001 served"
Ladies! Hah! I am so sorry that I'm... Hades said
Late. the fates said
We knew you would be. Clotho said
We know everything. Lachesis said
They pass their only eye from one another as they speak the next three lines
Past. Clotho said
Present. Lachesis said
And future. Atropos said
Atropos whispered something to Panic
Indoor plumbing, it's gonna be big. Atropos said
Great. Great. Anyway, see, Ladies, I was at this party, and I lost track of... Hades said
We know! the fates said
Yeah. I know...you know. Hades said
Hades then goes over to a map table depicting Greece with pawns of Zeus and the gods
So, here's the deal. Zeus, Mr. High and Mighty, Mr. "Hey, you, get off of my cloud". Now, he has... Hades said
A bouncing baby brat. the fates said
We know. Clotho said
Hades then bursts into flames again
I know! You know. I know. I got it. I got the concept. So, let me just ask: Is this kid gonna mess up my hostile takeover bid, or what? What do you think? Hades said
Um... Lachesis said
Oh no, you don't. We are not supposed to reveal the future. Clotho said
Oh wait, I'm sorry. Time out. Can I? Can I ask you a question, by the way? Are you, did you cut your hair or something? You look fabulous. I mean, you look like a fate worse than death. Hades said
Lachesis giggles more before Clotho hits her on the head the eye falls out into the hands of Panic
Oh, gross! Panic said
Yech! It's blinkin'! Pain said
Pain then kicks it into Hades' hand, who pulls off a dust strand from the eye.
Ladies, please, my fate... Hades said
Hades puts the eye on Lachesis' hand
Is in your lovely hands. Hade said
Oh? Lachesis said
Oh, all right. Clotho said
Ahh... Lachesis said
The eye raises in the air showing pictures of the future
In 18 years precisely, the planets will align ever so nicely. Atropos said
Ay, verse. Oy. Hades said
The time to act will be at hand. Unleash the Titans, your monstrous band. Atropos said
Mm-hmm, good, good. Hades said
Then, the once-proud Zeus will finally fall, and you, Hades, will rule all! Atropos said
Hades bursts into flames with excitement
Yes! Hades rules! Hade said
A word of caution to this tale. Atropos said
Excuse me? Hades said
Should Hercules fight, you will fail. Atropos said
The Fates then disappear cackling while Hade bursts into flames angrily
WHAAAT?! Hades said
Hades was furious until he calmed down
Okay, fine, fine, I'm cool, I'm fine Hades said
Later a bell dings and a pair of doors open to show Hades and his boys standing in front of a skeleton-decorated vault with a vial shown in the center
Pain? Panic? Got a little riddle for ya. How do you kill a god? Hades said
I do not...know! Pain said
You can't. Because they're immortal? Panic said
Bingo! They're immortal. Hades said
Hades takes the vial with red liquid and the camera zooms at it, filling the screen
So, first you got to turn the little sunspot...mortal. Hades said
A few minutes later
Mount Olympus, dusk The night sky is brought over Mount Olympus by the night god Nyk, driving his goats across the atmosphere Baby Hercules and Baby Pegasus are sleeping together the shadows of Pain and Panic crawl over Baby Hercules and grab him the sounds of glass breaking and Pain and Panic tittering make Zeus and Hera wake up
Huh? Zeus said
What? What is it? Hera said
They then realize someone was stealing their baby
The baby. they both said
They run to the cradle to see if Baby Hercules was okay only to find that it was just Baby Pegasus while Baby Hercules was gone
Hercules! Oh! Hera said
NOOOOOOO! Zeus said
As Zeus screams, lightning bolts flash and a giant thunderstorm rages over Olympus. Pain and Panic are flying down to Earth, carrying Baby Hercules
Now, we did it! Zeus is gonna use us for target practice! Panic said
Just hang onto the kid, Panic! Pain said
While they were carrying Baby Hercules they fell and Baby Hercules starts crying
Hurry! Let's just kill the kid and get it over with, okay? Panic said
Pain then turns the vial into a baby bottle
Here you go, kid. A little Grecian formula. Pain said
Pain then puts the baby bottle into Baby Hercules's mouth
Look at that! He's...changing. Can we do it now? Panic said
No, no, no, he has to drink the whole potion! Every last drop. Pain said
Before Pain and Panic could finish someone was calling out
Who's there? a voice said
Pain and Panic run away dropping the empty vial it breaks and one last drop falls into the ground While Baby Hercules continues to cry
Alcmene, over here. Amphitryon said
Oh, you poor thing! Oh, don't cry. Alcmene said
Is anybody there? Amphitryon said
Pain and Panic look on from the bushes
Now? Panic said
Now. Pain said
Their shadows are shown as they walk and transform into snakes
Oh well, he must have been abandoned. Ampitryon said
For so many years we've prayed to the gods to bless us with a child. Perhaps, they've answered our prayers. Alcmene said
Amphitryon reads Hercule's name from a medallion on his neck
Perhaps they have...Hercules? Ampitryon said
Pain and Panic as snakes attack but Baby Hercules catches them, and giggles happily as he hits them several times against the ground ties them into a knot and throws them far away Amphitryon and Alcmene stare at Baby Hercules with their jaws dropped
Help, help, help! both Pain and Panic said
They turn back to their normal forms
Hades is gonna kill us when he finds out what happened. Panic said
You mean, "if" he finds out. Pain said
Of course he's gonna f...if...if is good. Panic said
(We then go back to Mount Olympus in dark clouds and then resolve to the Muses)
It was tragic. Zeus led all the gods on a frantic search. Calliope said
But by the time they found the baby, it was too late. Terpsichore said
(Young Herc was mortal now.)
(But since he did not drink the last drop.)
(He still retained his godlike strength.)
(So thank his lucky star!)
(Tell it, girl.)
(But Zeus and Hera wept.)
(Because their son could never come home.)
(They'd have to watch their precious baby.)
(Grow up from afar.)
(Though Hades' horrid plan.)
(Was hatched before Herc cut his first tooth.)
(The boy grew stronger every day.)
(And that's the gospel truth!)
We then go to a country with sheeps baaing. A carriage with a lot of hay moves along the road unnaturally fast, then we see Amphitryon and his horse sitting before it
Hercules, slow down! Amphitryon said
It appears Hercules has gone from a baby to a teenager as he is going somewhere with Amphitryon but where are the Warriors and when will they come in to approach Hercules too stay tuned
