Alright, here's the next chapter, it'll give you an idea of what'll happen from here.

The Brother Of Hercules

Chapter 4

Maelstrom And The Secret Weapon

Amphitheatre Entrance

The four friends and satyr were waiting outside the theatre, waiting to get in, while doing so Mael and Cassandra couldn't believe how much they were able to fool everyone, their friends actually think that the two were dating, yet, for some reason, they feel like they became closer as, not just friends, maybe more than friends, but not yet an actual couple, which kinda confused them.

As they got to the front of the line, they were arguing a little about what to see, though Maelstrom and Cassandra tried to compromise on what to see themselves, since they were planning on seeing their own thing.

That is until Phil told Hercules what to see, which made the others groan, "Seriously brother, this is the theatre, not hero training."

Hercules just shrugs his shoulders, "Hey, Phil is our couch, and a hero's gotta listen to what their couch says."

As the group were moaning about Hercules and his "always listen to Phil" attitude, while Hercules went to grab the tickets, everything froze.

With the only people being able to move being Hercules, Maelstrom and Phil, "What the heck's going on!?" With Maelstrom asking their question out loud, with Maelstrom being slightly more worried for Cassandra, though whether he was still faking is a mystery.

Suddenly before the boys and goat-man, was a goddess, "It is I, Athena, goddess of Wisdom."

Even though Hercules poked a little fun, Athena made it known she wasn't seeing a play, though Phil made sure to warn the two boys that Athena wasn't one of the "fun" goddess, that is until she shrunk down and greeted Hercules and Maelstrom in a kind nature, though she warned Phil not to push it.

Placing a hand on both boys, she began explaining why she's visiting, "Hercules, Maelstrom, I have a quest for you two, my brother, Ares, had Hephaestus create for himself a secret weapon, and I need you both to find out what it is and to destroy it before he causes anyone any harm."

While Hercules was all for it, Maelstrom wasn't too sure, "Lady Athena, while this quest is important, I sorry to say I must decline," This gained him shocked looks from his brother and Phil, "Oh, then tell me Maelstrom, why would you decline a quest from the goddess of wisdom."

Maelstrom knew if he didn't answer right that Athena would be furious, "Unfortunately, I've already made a promise to my girlfriend that I would go to the theatre with her, and I'm not one to break a promise, even if the gods themselves have requested me for a mission, and I'm not fond of breaking promises."

Though she was upset, she can understand wanting to keep a promise, before she could think of anything else, Maelstrom finishes, "Besides, since Hercules never made any promises, he'll be free to help you in anyway he can, since having one demigod is better than none."

She couldn't help but smile at the wisdom that young Maelstrom threw at her, "Very well, I'll let you keep your promise, since I know you care deeply about keeping them, Hercules, I bestow the quest towards you."

Before anything else, Phil began talking, which unfortunately, Athena made it so he went with Hercules, with her quest made she left the mortal realm, causing time to continue.

With the two mortal friends wondering what was going on, though now that Hercules and Phil left Cassandra asked for an exchange, while making sure she and Maelstrom went to one theatre, Icarus went to another.

After the theatre, they chatted about what they saw and got some snacks to help them along, that is until Cassandra suddenly had a vision about Hercules being found out about being a spy for Athena by Ares.

They quickly rushed to Spartan, thanks to Pegasus helping them get there, with Kurama wrapped around Maelstrom's neck, pretending to be a scarf, with Icarus sitting on the back and Cassandra sitting in front of Maelstrom, though she blushed at the feel of his strong arms wrapped around her.

Once they landed, Icarus quickly jumped off, "Herc we got here as soon as we can, cos you see Cassandra had a vision that you were found out about being a... spy... by... Ares~..."

Unfortunately, before anyone could stop him Icarus ended up blabbing right in front of the god of war himself, which inadvertently caused the group to face palm, though unfortunately, Cassandra did it while being helped down from Pegasus, which caused her to fall off, but Maelstrom managed to catch her in a bridal carry, which made her blush at accidentally feeling his muscular chest.

Though at the moment Maelstrom was more worried at what Ares was gonna do to them.

Next day

Maelstrom had a deadpan look on his face, "Icarus, sometimes I think you have an unstoppable mouth." After saying that it caused the boy to smile sheepishly.

Though Cassandra all but gave her agreement, along with Phil, Hercules tried to be a little calmer about, but, then again, they were tied to human size target practising boards, with Ares planning on shooting them with his Armageddon Bow.

(A.N. It pretty much goes the same as the series, only the ending is different.)

While Hercules managed to escape, Naruto's "scarf" was helping him loosen the bolts keeping him in place, all the while Ares and Athena were trying to make Hercules give them the bow.

Suddenly Maelstrom had enough leg-room to break out of his hold, "Ah, thanks Kurama, think you could chew the rope for the others, I'll try and see if I can help Hercules."

While the fox releases Phil, Maelstrom was just below Hercules, while the gods wanted to know what he would do with the bow.

Hercules looks towards the bow, but then he looks down, "You know what, since nether of you can be trusted with this bow, I'm gonna give it to the one person I know will use it right."

With that Hercules lets the bow drop and before anything else, it landed right in Maelstrom's hands, "What, wait Herc, you're not telling me!?"

Hercules nods his head, "Maelstrom, you're more than responsible enough to use that bow to help people, not for ending them or hurting anyone, besides, you always said you were looking for a perfect weapon, so there you have it."

Looking at the bow, Maelstrom couldn't keep the smile off his face, "Thanks Hercules, I'll be sure to use it to help people and save lives."

Suddenly a female voice from the bow was heard, "Oh yes, I like that idea, saving lives instead of ending them, that sounds perfect for me, yeah "The Armageddon Bow, used for protecting and saving the innocence," that has such a positive spin to it!"

Maelstrom was looking at the bow in puzzlement, "A female bow huh, that sounds cool, I hope from now on we can work well together."

Though Phil was moaning at hearing one of his students decided to keep the chatter-y bow, he didn't deny that in Maelstrom's hand it'll be perfectly used.

As for the two gods, while they were upset at not getting what they want, Athena couldn't help but be proud, "Very well Hercules, I respect you choice in giving the bow to your brother, since my first meeting with him I can say he is a splendid choice in using the bow."

Ares on the other hand was a bit upset, but he relented, "Oh fine, you can keep the bow, at least this way I'm not using a female bow anymore- wait, Hercules and Maelstrom, I was gonna execute Zeus's little kids."

After hearing that, Athena just nods her head, giggling before she vanishes, though behind Ares was and angry Zeus.

With the others, all they heard and saw was a lightning bolt, with Hercules finally learning to think for himself.

Though with Cassandra and Maelstrom, they were trying to get Icarus down, since Kurama was tired from releasing both Phil and Cassandra, along with Maelstrom, though Icarus kept complaining that he had an itch.

While Maelstrom had the bow in one hand just as he was reaching to wards the rope holding Icarus, the frazzled haired boy was suddenly shot from the machine, causing Maelstrom to wonder what happened, that is until he spotted Cassandra's hand on the lever, "Oops~ did I do that~"

Though he should feel sorry for Icarus, he just couldn't keep the smile from his face, while his bow just watched, "Are you sure that guy will be alright, I mean he was flung an awful long way."

Before she could continue, Maelstrom stopped her, "Yeah, no worries, after all he is the kid who flew too close to the sun, he shouldn't be too badly hurt."

This caused the bow to ponder, but since Maelstrom wasn't worried she decided to let it go, "I can already tell being you're weapon is going to be fun."

Maelstrom just smiles, "You know it!"

Cassandra just sighs with a smile at her fake-boyfriend, somehow making friends with his weapon, "Guess it's just a part of his charm, though it feels like our fake relationship is getting better." She became confused at why they're relationship is progressing more.

The End.

Now this is finished, I hope everyone enjoyed it, as you can see I made it so the bow was made for protection, which would be perfect in Maelstrom's hands.

Actually this chapter is all about Maelstrom gaining his own weapon, along with his and Cassandra becoming a little bit more closer.
