Seeing as no-one has adopted this idea yet, I'm gonna post another chapter, hopefully someone will be interested in carrying it on for me.

Also I'm not all that good at writing the songs, exampled by past one-shots, so I'll skip them.

Brother Of Hercules

Chapter 2

From Zero To Hero

The Basics

Night

Hercules and Maelstrom's home

It was quite a day for the two brothers, what with Hercules accidentally destroying the district, even though Hercules blames himself.

His brother Maelstrom at the moment was doing pull-ups at the back of the house, wanting to lose a little bit of steam from the angry people for blaming his brother.

Instead of what he usually wears, at the moment his upper body was bare, since he didn't want to get any sweat on his toga he just wrapped it around his waist, once done with the pull-ups, he quickly lifts his legs up between his arms and hangs from the branch and began doing hanging sit-ups, also making sure his toga stayed in place.

Even though Mael is just as strong as his brother, he just couldn't help but train his body, when his family asked why he simply tells them, 'I don't know, after a hard work-out it makes things easier to relax more, that way I can focus more on the blocks for better strength control.'

After the parents heard that, they supported Mael in his training, unfortunately they were just simple farmers so they could only help so much, at first Hercules wanted to join his brother in his training, but like all teens, Hercules got bored with it quickly, even though his brother tried to push him into more training, Mael couldn't really follow through.

Anyway, after finishing his exercise, Mael made his way back home, using a rag to get rid of the sweat that was building up on him, once back he managed to join his brother in the house where their parents explained how they found Maelstrom and Hercules, along with the pendant and their names on the back of them.

So with that in mind, the two brothers began their walk, while saying bye to their parents.

Temple Of Zeus

The travel was long and harrowing, but they managed to make it all the way to the temple, before them was a statue of Zeus, both teens looked towards the statue in an awed and humbled way.

Hoping to finally gain the answers they were looking for.

The brothers looked to each other, with Maelstrom nodding his head, telling Hercules to ask what they both wanted to know, both on their knees infront of the statue.

"Oh mighty Zeus, please hear us and answer our prayer, we need to know, who are we, where do we belong!?"

Suddenly a gust of wind blew between the two brothers, until a bolt of lightning hit the statue, fire erupted from the dishes lighting the room. (Not sure what they're called.)

Before anything else the statue began to move, opening it's eyes and looking towards the pair with a kind smile, with both teens being stunned at what they were witnessing.

"My boys, my little Hercules and Maelstrom."

In a kind, yet bellowing voice the statue talked towards the brothers, reaching out towards them, but of course when a giant stone hand reaches towards you, you can only do one thing.

""AAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!?"" Scream like hell.

Both began to try and run for the exit, trying being the operative word, since Hercules accidentally ran into a candle holding dish, tripping over it, which ended up with Maelstrom tripping over Hercules, causing the two to fall over one another, while both ended up with a candle in their mouth, Hercules ended up having the dish on his head.

"Now hold on you two, what's your hurry, after all these years is this the kind of hello you two give to your father!" He bellowed out in a happy gesture, after managing to catch the two, causing them to scurry around in his hands, until he managed to catch the two in his cupped hands.

Until they both popped their heads out between his fingers in surprise, ""F-F-FATHER!?"

Once the two finally calmed down, Zeus sat back into his thrown, holding the two boys in his stone hand, "Didn't know you two had a famous father did you, SURPRISE!" With a sudden bellow at the end, causing both boys hair to be blown backwards, along with both coughing afterwards.

Zeus began inspecting the two, "Look how you both have grown, why you both have your mother's beautiful eyes, while Hercules has my hair colour and Maelstrom has his mother's, though I guess teething on one of my lightning bolts still kept your hair spiky!" While laughing at the end, since it was like a fond memory.

Hearing this, Maelstrom looks towards Zeus, "W-Wait, that's why my hair is spiky, b-because I was TEETHING on one of your lightning bolts!" For some reason that answered so many questions for Maelstrom, since him and his adopted parents tried everything to get his hair flat.

Zeus just chuckles, "Well you both were curious little scamps."

Suddenly it hit them, with Hercules asking for the both of them, "Wait if you're our father then that would make us a..."

"A God." With Zeus finishing it off for their thought.

That answer knocked both brothers for a loop, with both landing on their butts in shock.

With Zeus shrugging his shoulders, "Hey, you both wanted answers and by thunder you're both old enough now to know the truth!"

The three began talking, with Hercules and Maelstrom asking about their backgrounds, with Zeus filling them in on their unfortunate abduction and how they were somehow turned mortal, along with Zeus explaining that only gods can live on Mt. Olympus, but he also explains how there's another way for the two to regain their godhood by becoming a true hero, along with pointing the two towards Philoctetes, the trainer of heroes.

As Hercules was hyped up about hopefully regaining his godhood along with his brother, he was about to step off wanting to begin the journey right away, but he forgot about being on a giant hand, causing Zeus to catch Hercules in his other hand while letting Maelstrom slide from his other hand.

"Whoa, hold your horses, which reminds me (whistle!)"

After a sharp whistle, a falling star fell towards them, suddenly transforming into a flying horse, while both boys were shocked at the sight, what caught Maelstrom's attention was what was on the back of the horse, a red furred fox with black markings, all the while swishing behind it was nine fluffy tails moving happily.

"You boys probably don't remember Pegasus and Kurama, but both them and you two go way back sons!"

While Pegasus was getting reacquainted with each other, so were Maelstrom and Kurama, with the fox leaping at Maelstrom, catching the blond off guard when the fox's size became the size of a horse, but Maelstrom ended up getting a face full of saliva and a cold wet nose as well, causing him to yell out in both disgust and bursts of laughter.

With Zeus smiling at his two boys being reunited with their animals, "Though Maelstrom I must warn you, Kurama has develop a more trickster like nature, he pranked Ares quite a few times with his antics, though thankfully Artemis managed to calm some of his nature down, he now targets people who are arrogant now and are deserving of it."

Hearing this Maelstrom looks towards Kurama, seeing the fox look away and trying to act innocent, "Well~ as long as he doesn't cause too much trouble, and manages to get away with it without being caught, along with not driving anyone insane, I'm sure he can behave himself, right buddy."

With the fox answering with a rub against Maelstrom's cheek.

Zeus then smiles at Hercules, seeing the two finishing up, "Pegasus is a magnificent horse, with the brain of a bird."

After hearing that, it caused Pegasus to look thoughtful at the bird-brain comment, but they moved on from that, with both boys climbing on Pegasus' back, with Kurama leaping towards Maelstrom and shrinking down to a normal fox size, wrapping his nine tails around Mael's neck like a scarf.

Soon they were on their way towards finding Philoctetes.

Morning

It took nearly all night, but they managed to land on an island with loads of goats hanging around, both moving off of Pegasus, while Kurama stayed on Mael's shoulders, they began their search for the trainer, seeing loads of broken statues and pillars.

Suddenly they heard women giggling behind some bushes, both teens looked through the bushes, though they're surprised to see the women were actually nymphs playing around, causing the two to have a slight smile since it was a nice view.

Though they began hearing a goat bleating, looking down they both saw a rear end of a goat, with Hercules thinking the poor thing was stuck, "Hey, whats up little guy, are you stuck or something, here I'll help you out."

As soon as he picked the little goat up, it turned out it wasn't really a goat, but a satyr, "Whoa! Hey butt out buddy!"

Being shocked at the sight, Hercules dropped the satyr on to the floor, startling the nymphs, which caused the satyr to try chasing them.

Though it turned out he couldn't catch them, "OH, Nymphs, they can't keep their hands off me, OW!", "Humph!"

Turns out what he said was true, if the smack to the face wasn't anything to go by.

After that embarrassing performance, the two boys explained why they arrived at the island, though the now designated Phil, ended up laughing at such an explanation, along with wanting nothing to do with hero work, that is until a lightning bolt made him change his mind.

Once that was done with, Phil began to train them, "Alright kids, you both are getting better, though I gotta ask, Mael, how is it YOU can control your godly strength yet Herc here can't!?"

Rubbing the back of his head, Mael began explaining, "Well that's because I trained with paper blocks, focusing on using just enough strength without breaking them, since with mine and Herc's strength it's super difficult, and while I carried on with it, Herc pretty much became bored with it after being impatient."

Hearing this, Phil was impressed, "Wow, good job kid, no doubt you've got brains being able to come up with that sort of training, but just cause you have brains doesn't mean anything if you don't expand it."

The two brothers looked at each other in puzzlement, with Hercules asking the question, "Uh, Phil, what do you mean exactly?"

Phil looked towards the two, "Simple kids, you're both going to Prometheus Academy, an esteemed High School in all of Athens."

While the two weren't looking forward to school, they knew that they needed to learn how to be heroes, and since Phil was the one who pointed them towards the school, they have no choice but to follow his orders, since he is their trainer.

After Enrolment

Both Maelstrom and Hercules were now in school, at the moment they were in the Agora, where people sell and buy food and goods, with their teacher explaining their internship, getting the students ready for the real world work, along with Hercules and Icarus wondering what the real world is like.

Though Cassandra explained the whole nobility and slavery terminology of it, though Maelstrom threw an arm over her shoulder, "Hey, come on now Cassandra, at least this'll give us an idea of what a normal job'll be like, who knows, maybe you'll get an internship that you'll like."

What Maelstrom doesn't know is that because of his close proximity to Cassandra, along with his arm, it was making the girl blush at feeling his lean muscular arm on her shoulder, almost making her feel like he was protecting her or something.

But her thoughts were interrupted by the teacher explaining each of the kids internship, though the three friends gave disgruntled looks at Adonis, though Maelstrom whispered something to Kurama, not that anyone noticed, minus Cassandra who wondered what he was up to.

But once Cassandra saw she was in the information box, she couldn't help but be happy about where she was, along with Icarus, which left Maelstrom and Hercules.

"As for Maelstrom (the son of Zeus), he'll be working in Hero World for his internship."

Making Maelstrom smile, "Awesome, maybe I'll find a weapon in there that could suit my future hero work while working there."

The teacher marked him off, "Then there's Hercules (the son of Zeus), who'll will be working at "Hero" World."

Before the teacher could finish, Hercules became excited, "Yes! I get to work with my brother..."

But before long he found out he misheard the words, it wasn't Hero World, but Gyro World, a fast food type of eatery, along with having to wear a goofy sheep headgear, gloves and an apron.

Though Adonis wasn't helping things ether with his teasing, that is until a slab of raw meat "accidentally" smacked Adonis in the back of the head, causing him to turn around to try and find the person that did it, missing the "extra" that was added to the meat, causing the pompous teen to yell in pain about a burning sensation, making him run and leap into the fountain.

Turns out the meat had some herbs on it to cause a heat irritation if not cooked, Hercules was both confused and laughing at the "unfortunate" sight, though he noticed a couple red tails sneaking away to Hero World, telling him that Kurama had watched his back for him.

Though that doesn't mean he likes his placement, and had enough of the job.

Unfortunately, that caused a whole mountain of trouble, since Zeus tried to help Hercules by letting him drive Apollo's chariot, with some egging from Hades, along with losing the sun because of Hades's minions stealing the sun from Hercules.

As that was happening, Maelstrom was busy protecting people from the rioters, punching them out of the Argor, then her saw Cassandra continuing her job as an information helper, where Maelstrom knocked them away as well, "Really Cassandra, pointing rioters to shops that haven't been attacked yet." He couldn't help but ask in a deadpan tone.

With the red-head shrugging her shoulders, "What, it's apart of my job to relay any information that someone asks for."

Maelstrom just shook his head, realising that this was Cassandra's way of getting a bit of payback for the whole nobles and slaves thing she was talking about, all the while not getting hurt because of it.

Deciding to see if Icarus was alright, he left Cassandra alone, since she was enjoying watching the destruction happening, and since the pillagers went to her for information she was safe.

Maelstrom made quick work on the pillagers, using his strength to knock them out of the apartment store, not long after Hercules began helping his brother out as well, explaining how the whole sun-losing thing was his fault and that he was suppose to keep an eye on the sun.

Hearing this Maelstrom looked at his brother, "You're kidding me, you decided to ditch your job because you didn't like it, and you went to our father to complain about it, Herc, this is only an internship, meaning that we were "trying" out the place to see which job we might be suited for, it's like, what, a week or two at work then it's back to school."

Hearing this, Hercules looked at his brother, "I know Mael, but I couldn't stand having to listen to Adonis poking fun at me, once was enough."

Maelstrom couldn't help but to agree, "Alright, I can agree to Adonis being a stuck-up whiner, but we're suppose to be heroes, Herc, we're bound to get a lot of people who like us, but we'll also have a few that don't like us, but we need to take the good with the bad, besides, you can always think of Adonis as training to ignore such people in the future, like for example, when Adonis tried to tease me, for some reason I just pretend to ignore him and say, "Sorry, did you say something?" which makes him throw a temper tantrum, after that he stopped trying to tease me."

Hearing such a simple way of getting back at Adonis, Hercules couldn't help but be impressed, though Maelstrom finished with, "Besides, he knows if he tried any pranks on me that Kurama would prank him ten-fold, and the cunning fox would get away with it."

Both brothers were bashing the pillagers away while they were talking to each other, with one pillager saying in a daze, "Sometimes the simplest things are the best~." Before he fainted.

The two brothers looked at each other, "Um, listen Herc, I'll keep fighting round here, you try and think of something to find the sun."

Hercules looks in shock at Maelstrom, "What, you're leaving me to look for the sun."

Placing a hand on his brother's shoulder, Maelstrom replied, "We all have our responsibilities brother, mine is to try and protect those that need it, while your's is to try and complete your job that the gods handed to you, we're each responsible for our own work."

Knowing his brother was right, Hercules left him to try and think things through, with Icarus following after Hercules.

Once the pillagers have calmed down, Maelstrom went over to Cassandra, and ended up slumping on the bar of her work space, "Man~ it's about time that everyone had calmed down, I'm exhausted from all of that fighting, even with my godly strength those guys were stubborn."

Cassandra, being the voice of concern, "Really~ I was hoping for more destruction, but since they tired you out I suppose it was worth it."

Hearing what she said, Maelstrom gave a slight glare, "You're lucky you're my friend, or else I'd throw you straight up into the air."

Cassandra just smirked, "That wouldn't be very "heroic" of you now, would it(?)" She replies back in a sarcastic manner, causing Maelstrom to groan, which caused her to smirk even more.

Once releasing a sigh, Maelstrom decided to change the subject, "Anyway, have you figured out a way to get Icarus off your back with the whole, "boyfriend" thing yet."

Seeing her smirk being replaced with a frown pretty much answered it, causing Maelstrom to wince at the look, "Still that bad huh?"

Now it was Cassandra's turn it sigh in exhaustion, "You have no idea, I tried everything, I tried explaining it to him, to bluntly shouting in his face, nothing works!" She finishes in exasperation.

Maelstrom felt sorry for her, don't get him wrong, Icarus is a good friend, but he can be a bit TOO much for people, if they hang out with him for too long, "Yeah, he is stubborn like that, I think he does that to every woman he see's, minus the ones that already have a boyfriend, I think the guy's just desperate, ya know."

The moment Cassandra heard what he said, an idea struck her head, "Wait, THAT'S IT!" Grabbing a hold on Mael's shoulders, she began to shake him, "If I can somehow find a boyfriend, he'll end up leaving me alone, since he wouldn't even try to ask a girl that's already taken."

Maelstrom still being shaken, replied back, "B-B-But w-w-who'll y-y-you c-c-c-h-h-h-ose to d-d-d-d-aate!" The shaking not helping him at all.

Thankfully that question made her stop shaking him, but it didn't stop his dizzy-spell, letting him go, which caused Mael to drop on the counter, she began thinking to herself, "You're right, even if I do date someone it'll just be too soon and Icarus would think it's only temporary, it'll have to be someone that hangs around us a lot, but who!?"

As she was thinking, Mael's dizziness finally faded away, but what he doesn't know is he ended up in Cassandra's line of sight, causing her to realise something, quickly grabbing him again, Mael got ready for the shakes, but instead, all he got was a pair of green eyes, "That's it, you're the answer to my problems."

Hearing this he asked intelligently, "Huh!?"

"Don't you get it, if you were my boyfriend, Icarus would back off, I wouldn't have to worry about the annoying bird-brain." She was ecstatic bout her plan.

Holding up his hands, gaining her attention, "Whoa, whoa, whoa, lets not get ahead of ourselves here, do I even get a say on the whole, "me being your boyfriend" thing or something?"

She just waved it off, "Relax, if anything, we're just acting the part of boyfriend and girlfriend, I mean, maybe there's actually someone out there for Icarus that can handle his "Icarus-ness", if that's even a thing."

Hearing this Maelstrom couldn't help but think out loud, "This is gonna be a long~ boyfriend/girlfriend act."

With Cassandra shrugging her shoulders, "Hey, if anything, you're rescuing a damsel in distress, and Icarus stresses me out everytime he's near me, so wouldn't the whole "damsel in distress" thing, be like a hero 101 thing for you."

Mael couldn't help but to agree, it would certainly help his experience in being a hero in the long run, since he gets the feeling if he can handle a disgruntled Icarus he could handle anything that'll come his way, yet for some reason, he feels even more tired, "(Sigh!) I don't why, but I feel like saying, "this'll be troublesome," and, "women are troublesome," which sounds about right."

The End.

There you have it, though the reason why the movie part of it is so sort is because I wanted to get to the cartoon series of the show, skipping the whole songs since I'm sure whoever adopts will be able to do it their way and however they want, just as long as Naruto is Hercules's brother and they go through the cartoon series.

Remember, this is just to get people interested in possible story ideas, if you want it to be different then be my guest, also I'm not bashing Icarus, it's just that he is annoying in the show, but I also said he's a loyal friend, though I think he will be upset about Maelstrom and Cassandra dating, he'll be stuck between being a loyal and supporting friend, to being upset and slightly jealous in his own way.

As for the pairing(s), I'm thinking it starts out with Naruto and Cassandra fake/dating, but after so long, they end up dating for real, but it'll be a slow progress, but if anyone wants it to be a harem, like I said in chapter 1, it's up to whoever adopts.

I Do Not Own Naruto Or Hercules.
