Alright, a few people have been hounding me about carrying on with this idea, but just so everyone knows, Naruto/Hercules Crossovers are like, Open Season with plenty of ideas to go around, though I'm surprised no-one is doing their own version yet.

The Brother Of Hercules

Chapter 7

Maelstrom And The Big Torment

Prometheus Academy

Right now everyone was in Shop Class, a place were the instructor Daedalus was beginning his lesson for the day, though there's a slight problem, Hercules was apart of the class, along with his friends and brother.

Though you're probably wondering about what happened between Hera and Maelstrom, she did tell Maelstrom how upset she was about one of her sons lying to her, which Maelstrom apologised heavily for, she was proud that he was willing to help out his friend, even if it was the wrong way to do it, she was also happy that Maelstrom and Cassandra officially became a couple, causing Maelstrom an untold amount of embarrassment, though he figured that was his punishment for lying.

After hearing that Hercules was the one who told their mother the whole story, at first he was upset, but he realised that they couldn't really lie about such a thing to their mother, so after giving Hercules a slight prank, thanks to Kurama, all was forgiven.

But now, back to Shop Class, though as Daedalus was teaching he appointed Hercules to help him with his invention, a solar-powered catapult by using reflective glass to set it off, unfortunately, Hercules's impatient nature popped up, causing the contraption to start jumping about, along with hitting teacher on the head for his troubles, after that it then exploded.

Once the dust cleared, Hercules had left a real impression on the teacher, along with having to stay after school.

After Class

The group of 4 were sitting together, with Hercules moaning about Shop Class, with Cassandra complaining about Home Economics and Icarus about Gym, Maelstrom however, simply rubbed the back of his neck, "Hey at least those things gives us something to do, if it wasn't for training, hero work and school I'd be bored out of my mind."

As it turned out, even Maelstrom's impatient has it's limits, and if he's not moving around he'll get stir-crazy, his brother, friend and girlfriend looked at him with raised eyebrows, with Cassandra asking, "So, wait, you're alright with school, you don't find anything annoying about it?"

Rubbing the back of his neck, Mael replied, "Like I said, as long as I can focus on doing something I'm fine, because I just see school work as a challenge that I need to overcome, and if I can do that it'll make me a better hero since a hero has to have a balance of both brain and brawn, otherwise the villains win far too easy."

Hearing how he overcomes things impressed his friends, along with raising Hercules's spirit about Shop Class, and Cassandra smirking at her boyfriend, giving him a peck on the cheek, "How did I end up with a smart but dumb boyfriend."

Maelstrom just looks at her in puzzlement, "How can a guy be both smart and dumb at the same time!?" While wrapping his arm around Cassandra's waist.

Cassandra just smiles, "You make it very easy."

This caused Maelstrom to roll his eyes and say out loud, "(sigh)Women." He couldn't help but shake his head in exasperation, which in turn caused Cassandra to have an amused smirk and quickly gave him a steamy kiss on the lips, taking his breath away, but while dizzy he couldn't help but say in a goofy way, "Women~!"

Causing the group to laugh together in good humour.

Later

While Hercules was busy with Daedalus, Maelstrom was going about his day pranking Adonis, unfortunately Maelstrom had to leave Kurama at Phil's for the day, he didn't know why but he believes that the teachers mumbled something about a break from the fox.

Before he knew what was happening, the souls of the dead passed over the sky, turning it into a dark cloudy day, "Something tells me that this has Hades's name written all over it."

"Hey, speak of the devil, am I right or what kid," Suddenly the god popped up behind him, brushing his flamed hair back, "Now that Athens is apart of the underworld, this is my place, I hope you like it, well, not really, but anyway, after dishing out your friends torment, I'm kinda stuck with you, hmmm... Oh, I know, how about this."

With a click of his fingers, Maelstrom was tied up in golden chains, standing next to Poseidon and Athena, both in chains as well.

Hades appeared before them, "Hey, how about that, the kid gets to hang out with you two and do absolutely nothing, since he likes to keep on moving, and he gets to hear lectures from the goddess of wisdom for all eternity, good luck you guys."

Hearing his torment, Maelstrom's eyebrow began to twitch, "You know something, I'm gonna ask father if I could have one of his bolts."

Athena grew slightly concerned, "Whatever for Maelstrom!?" Even though she feels that she doesn't need to ask.

"SO I CAN THROW IT DOWN HADES'S THROAT THE NEXT TIME I SEE HIM, FAMILY OR NOT!" Showing that he finally exploded, he simmered back down and began to grumble.

The two gods couldn't help but feel for the boy, with Poseidon saying how he was now god of Greece, unfortunately he still failed to realise that he was duped in to doing what Hades wanted to do, which caused Athena to blame the god of the sea for such stupidity, which Maelstrom agreed fully, though Poseidon tried to defend himself, the glare from Maelstrom reminded him of Hera's angry look, causing the god to flinch.

While they were chained, Hercules came crashing in with Icarus, though the fried-brained boy wanted to fight Hercules about what he said about his father, Daedalus, but the boy simmered when Hercules asked for a rain-check, realising they were in Athena's temple.

That is until Athena gained their attention, along with Hercules spotting his brother, though he tried to remove his chains Hercules was shocked and blasted back, though when he looked in his brother's eyes, he now realised that like his namesake, a Maelstrom of anger was brewing in the teen, "Oh man, you're gonna be training for a few days until you've calmed down aren't you."

Getting his answer by the glare from his brother, with Icarus hiding behind Hercules, Athena told Hercules what happened, along with blaming Poseidon for being a twit, along with pointing Hercules to Poseidon's trident.

Afterwards

Even though Maelstrom enjoyed Hades being beaten by Poseidon, he decided to leave the place, saying goodbye to Athena along the way, with the goddess smiling at the young teen, since she did enjoy his company, once he calmed down long enough, the two began talking about strategies and other interesting things to stimulate the brain, as it turned out, Maelstrom managed to "overcome" his torment by just chatting with Athena, but Poseidon wasn't enjoying the chatter the two were holding, with both Maelstrom and Athena exclaiming that it was his punishment for such a foolish deal with Hades.

But now that everything was back to normal, well, as normal as being a demigod, Athena quickly shrank down, tapping Maelstrom's shoulder, gaining his attention, "If ever you're free, please, feel free to drop by for a visit and we can play a new game that's just been invented called "chess" it should be an interesting game."

With that she vanished, leaving the boy to his everyday life.

During the day Cassandra ordered him that if they ever get married that she won't be "just a housewife," with Maelstrom smiling and telling her that if that happened, they'll share the work load, no matter what Phil says, causing the girl to smile.

Along with Cassandra telling him that Hercules managed to pass Shop Class, barely, causing the two smile.

The End.

There you have it, the River Styx episode finished, along with everyone finding out that his torment is being stuck with nothing to do, though thankfully Athena helped him through it, also Hades couldn't use Mael's friends since they were busy with their own torment.

As for Athena, they won't have a relationship, it'd be more of a intellectual friendship than anything else, also there won't be any "brain-children" like from Percy Jackson since this is more of a "child-friendly" kinda story, but with adult accidents.
