Sorry for the long wait, there was family issues that needed to be dealt with, anyway, here's the next chapter, though it'll be a twofer for what I have planned, I hope everyone enjoys this.

The Brother Of Hercules

Chapter 11

Maelstrom and The Arabian Night

Phil's Training Ground

It's was a pretty weird day for Maelstrom, first Gaia, the mother of earth, had cursed Adonis for waking her up, which Maelstrom took no joy from, though the smirk would tell you otherwise, yet the spoiled prince went too Hercules for help, with the hero-in-training going to Cassandra, where she was slightly helping Maelstrom with some of his food since his hands were still tender and wrapped in bandages, along with Icarus.

Though unfortunately Cassandra was only an amateur oracle, so she pointed the cursed boy towards professional oracles in Delphi for help, which made Adonis try to butter-up Hercules to help him, though the demigod tried to get out of it, Icarus started blubbering for the mourning prince making Hercules give up, at one point he looked towards Maelstrom, but realises that his brother would do something UN-heroic to the cry-baby-prince.

Now here Maelstrom was, in Phil's training ground, completing a training session, that is until 3 monsters appeared, along with an evil wizard calling himself, Jafar, trying to destroy him, unfortunately Maelstrom's hands were still tender so he couldn't use Glenda for help. (A.N. Gonna skip Jafar's monologue since they are lame.)

While this was going on, Phil tried to help Maelstrom with his advise, though that ended when Phil got tied up by his hands and hooves with an apple in his mouth, on a branch, Maelstrom tried to think of something to stop the wizard, that's when he came up with an idea, he began charging towards the wizard, dodging the pot-shots and using the giant monsters weight against themselves, he then used his godly strength to leap into the air, taking the wizard by surprise along with his monsters.

This allowed Maelstrom enough time to use his strength in a double hammer fist, sending the wizard into the ground and into the Underworld.

Thanks to that the monsters turned to dust and Phil was released from his bonds, though he did eat the apple that was in his mouth, "Great job kid, ya sent him right into the underworld with that one, though there's just one problem."

Gaining a confused look from Maelstrom, the goat-man continued, "Next time, CALCULATE HOW MUCH STRENGTH YA PUT INTO YOUR HITS SO IT DON'T SEND A SHOCK-WAVE!"

Wincing at the yell, Maelstrom looked around and spotted the problem, "Er, oops~" As it turned out, when he "landed" the shock-wave ended up sending Phil's home into the air and turned it upside down.

Underworld

While Phil was yelling at Maelstrom, Jafar was sent back to the underworld again, landing in front of a lounging Hades, "The kid packs a punch, huh!" Pretty much stating a fact.

Once getting up the wizard replied back, "I was ill-prepared, I've never once fought anyone with such powerful strength before, since I only dealt with mortals before, though you were not wrong about the spiky-haired blond."

Hades was about to reply, that is before he heard Jafar, "Wait, spiky-blond hair, oh, you just fought Hercules's brother, Maelstrom, not Hercules himself, that kid is an even bigger pain than Hercules, since he not only has the same strength as Jercules, but he actually has brains to back it up."

Hearing the god of the underworld explain who Maelstrom was made the wizard raise an eyebrow, "So if that was his brother, where has Hercules got to?"

Wondering about that himself, Hades called for his minions, Pain and Panic, asking them where Hercules was, luckily the minions explained that they heard he went somewhere to help a kid who got cursed for waking Gaia up, "Wait, what kinda moron would go and anger Gaia!?"

The moment the two said, Adonis, he gave a deadpan-look, "Yeah, that should do it, anyway, since you couldn't even handle your everyday mortal, I'll have my minions here take care of it, it should be worth a few chuckles."

Once sending the two off on their job, it didn't take long for them to come crashing back, with Hades admitting that Aladdin was smarter than he thought, that's when Jafar got an idea, "Tell me something Hades, what would happen is two heroes fought one another!"

This gained the god's attention, already seeing where this was going.

Prometheus Academy

While walking through the school, thankfully without Icarus trailing behind her, Cassandra was making her way to the meeting point where her boyfriend would meet her.

That is until, "Hey cassandra, can you come here a minute!?" The voice of her boyfriend called to her.

Slowly she made her way to the corner of where the voice called from, "Mael, is that you, I thought we were gonna meet by the statue-!" Suddenly two pairs of hands grabbed her and dragged her away.

Later

Maelstrom was now at the statue, for Cassandra, wondering where she was, "What's taking Cassandra so long, I hope I didn't get the timing wrong!?"

Suddenly a voice from the shadows drew his attention, "Cassandra you say, why I believe that was the name of the poor girl that was kidnapped."

Now Maelstrom's eyes narrowed, "Who kidnapped Cassandra old man!?" As his namesake, his eyes were a Maelstrom of emotions.

The old man merely hobbled back, "Why I believe she was taken by a young rogue calling himself, Aladdin, who was flying on a magic carpet back to a place called Agrabah."

Getting everything he needed, Maelstrom quickly rushes off, hoping to save his girlfriend, never knowing that it was a ploy.

Agrabah

Once arriving in the desert kingdom, thanks to borrowing a pair sandals from Hermes, Maelstrom, with Phil, once getting the right balance with the sandals he landed on top of a building, dropping Phil on to the ground, "This place is pretty big kid, are ya sure she somewhere around here?"

Looking upset, Maelstrom answered, "She has to be Phil, and once I find this Aladdin guy, hopefully he'll have the answers for me-!"

He would have finished properly, but the rug he walked on flipped him over, quickly flying around and moved towards the building across from them, showing two people.

(A.N. I'm gonna skip the fight since it's basically the same, the reason why is because Maelstrom is so frustrated at the thought of Cassandra being in danger has made him sloppy.)

The two heroes were now in a building that was about to crush them, "Ugh! Look, I d-don't where your friend is, but at least let my girlfriend Cassandra go!"

Hearing the teen's request, Aladdin what back to Maelstrom, realising that someone had played them for a pair of fools.

Unfortunately the building crashed down on them, causing the people around the destroyed building in worry.

Underworld

Though in the Underworld the two villains were laughing it up, enjoying the thought of their foes destruction, with Hades replying, "You know what, laughing like that is fun, you know, it feels cleansing!"

Along with Cassandra being downtrodden at the thought of her boyfriend's death.

Agrabah

While the group were in mourning over the lose of the two, suddenly the rubble began moving, with a grunt, Maelstrom managed to lift the crumble ceiling off of them and tossed it away, along with helping Aladdin to his feet, where his wife Jasmine hugs him in relief.

Once he managed to calm down, Maelstrom began thinking clearly, "Okay, from what I understand, you didn't kidnap my girlfriend Cassandra and I didn't kidnap your friend Abu, so this almost sounds like a set-up."

Hear Jasmine asks, "But who would want you two up to fight!?"

Thinking some more, Maelstrom wonders, "Hmm, it might have something to do with that Jafar guy."

Now that caught the two off guard, they then explained who he is and how they managed to kill him, if barely.

Then it truly hit Maelstrom, "Oh great, your villain has teamed up with Hades, the lord of the dead, which would mean that they're holding our friends down there."

Aladdin was quick to try and charge in, but Maelstrom stopped him, "Whoa! Hold on for a second, after our fight I realised that we need to think things through and not go barrelling in, otherwise we wouldn't stand a chance."

Nodding at Maelstrom's suggestion, he couldn't help but ask, "Yeah, I agree with planning things out, but why were you so angry?"

Here Maelstrom rubs the back of his head in embarrassment, "Well, you see, Cassandra and I are dating and I really care about her."

Getting a nod of understanding, Aladdin replied, "Yeah, I know what you mean, I'd do anything to make sure Jasmine wasn't hurt." With both husband and wife hugging each other, gaining smiles from the Greeks.

Underworld

Cassandra was distraught, her boyfriend was just crushed by a crumbling building and she was stuck in the Underworld not knowing if he was alive or not, while chained to a monkey, who by the looks of things was picking the lock with it's tail, "Well at least you're more helpful than Icarus."

While this was happening the two villains were celebrating their "victory", with Hades asking Jafar if he wants to rule the Underworld as a god, which caused the evil wizard to gain an interested look.

That is until Pain and Panic announced Aladdin and Maelstrom's survival, with Hades giving the job to send the two to the afterlife, but what the god and sorcerer didn't know was that Aladdin and Hercules had planned the attack beforehand.

Tricking Jafar into having his staff taken away by Aladdin, who then passed the staff to Maelstrom, allowing the blond demigod to break the staff, which caused Jafar to return to his ghostly form, only realising he was standing on the river Styx, with the other souls dragging the dead sorcerer to eternal rest.

With that over, Maelstrom saw his girlfriend rushing towards him, allowing him to catch Cassandra in his arms, "I just knew you wouldn't be killed by a falling building." Giving him a kiss at the end.

Once the two pulled away, Maelstrom ask with a smirk, "Why, did you have a vision!?"

Knowing he was only joking, she answered with a smirk, "No, I had a feeling in my chest that you'd come and help me."

While holding her close to himself, Maelstrom looks towards Aladdin, "Lets get outta here." With Aladdin agreeing wholeheartedly, with a scared and screeching Abu quickly climbing on Aladdin's shoulder.

Allowing Maelstrom to know, "He did something to annoy Hades, best get out of here before he really blows his top!"

Prometheus Academy

The group were now saying their goodbyes, "Oh yeah, before I forgot, here's a little gift from us." Aladdin passes Maelstrom a black and blue outfit.

Looking towards the outfit, Maelstrom has a puzzled look, "Oh, that's cool, here's something for you as well." Maelstrom then passes Aladdin a bo-staff.

Aladdin looks confused, "Oh a bo-staff, that's nice, anyway, I remember you telling me how you want to support your brother and be a bowman, so we gave you an Assassin type of outfit, hopefully it'll improve your stealth in your hero work."

Maelstrom smiled at the offer, "Awesome, thanks Aladdin, just to let you know, I had that bo-staff made by Hephaestus, the god of the forge, meaning it's virtually indestructible, also, if you press that groove there." Gesturing to the centre of the staff, Aladdin pushed on the groove, which caused the bo-staff to collapse into itself, being no bigger than Aladdin's palm.

Seeing the result, Aladdin had a smile on his face, "Oh wow, thanks Mael, this thing will really come in handy." Putting compacted bo-staff away, the group from Agrabah waved goodbye to the Athenians, with both Maelstrom and Cassandra hugging each other.

Maelstrom looks towards his girlfriend, "So~ how about we get our date back on track?"

Cassandra just smiles, "Sure, hopefully there won't be another kidnapping for a while."

The couple makes their way to try and patch up their date, though at some point Icarus crashes their date begging Maelstrom if they could have a monkey for some reason, causing the couple to moan.

The End.

There you go, again, sorry about the wait, had a few family issues to deal with from time to time, so I had to write in segments.
