The Brother Of Hercules

Chapter 13

Maelstrom and The Return Of Typhon

The Mountain Of Typhon

As the narrator, Bob, and the Muses had explained, it was now a 3 day holiday, in celebration of the defeat of Typhon, The Farther Of Monsters, by the hands of Zeus, and everyone was travelling to the mountain to hear the story of Zeus's victory, as well as ride the rides and eat the foods.

That also included the two brothers and their friends to visit the festival, though Maelstrom had to carry Cassandra since she was still feeling the after effects of Maelstrom's massage, with her legs feeling like jelly, but that doesn't mean she's not enjoying the ride, also while she's fully relaxed she's no longer a gushing mess and rubbing her cheek on Maelstrom's face anymore, though she did express her slight upset for her legs, the fact she was smiling didn't add any fire to it.

With Icarus rushing inside exclaiming how excited he is for the holiday, along with asking how long he waited for the holiday, with Cassandra sarcastically answering with "A year."

Still in Maelstrom's arms, which he wasn't really bothered about, though he did smirk when she shuffled slightly, since when she fidgeted she made sure one of his hands was on her butt, since she smirked slightly at him with a glint in her eye, causing him to roll his eyes and shake his head with a chuckle.

He brought her slightly up so he could whisper in her ear, "You're REALLY milking the fact I have to carry you, aren't you!" Sending a slight shiver down her spine, though it caused her moan slightly in euphoria because of her legs.

Sending him a mock-glare, she replied in a whisper, "And who's fault is that, you're the one that caused my legs to fail me."

Placing a mocked finger on his chin, Maelstrom replied, "Really, is that how it went, cause I remember a certain someone yelling, "YES! MORE! MORE! YEEEESSSSSSS!" Since she wanted more, who am I to deny her such a thing(?)"

That caused her to blush, since it was true, but it felt so~ good that she just wanted more, shaking her head of the thoughts, she quickly slapped his chest and gave a huff, causing him chuckle at her response.

Though their banter was suddenly interrupted when a certain fried boy grabbed Maelstrom's arm, and by extension Cassandra, along with Hercules and started dragging them all over the place, causing the demigods and girl to yelp and get dizzy.

Though Icarus was too excited to notice, when they got to the last ride, though they just heard the last part, he asked, "Where else can you find a ride that pulls you in all directions, making you dizzy and nauseous!?"

With the others, Hercules was barely standing, "Well~ I'm~ dizzy~ (SIGH~!" Where he ended up falling flat on his face.

While Cassandra finished saying, "I~got~ nausea~ covered~" Even if she was in Maelstrom's arms, with Icarus pulling them around it was bound to happen.

Though Maelstrom continued, "And~ I~ got~ both~" Where unlike his brother he fell backwards, causing Cassandra to yelp at the sudden fall, but due to the fall she was now straddling his lap, with her head on his chest, since she knew he made sure to fall backwards since he didn't want to hurt her, but not only that she felt his hands on her thighs, close to her rear, once the dizzy spell and nausea was past, along with regaining his vision, Maelstrom saw their position and gave her hip a slight pat, "I know your comfy there, but I'm gonna get up since there's kids around."

Later

After that, the group made their way to watch a puppet show being preformed in front of a group of kids, with Cassandra back in Maelstrom's arms, with her sarcasm back in play, most likely because of Icarus pulling them around, though she aimed her sarcasm at Maelstrom's brother, since she knows that Maelstrom cares more about helping people instead of the end result of returning to their parents, Zeus and Hera, but it went over Hercules's head.

Looking back, they soon saw Icarus grabbing the puppet and began to beat on it, dragging the puppeteer along with it, causing the kids to yell out in cheers and even more excitement.

While that was happening the other 3 made their way around the place, seeing all the excitement, with Hercules inspecting a hat, though he put it back since he wasn't interested.

Then a water ride caught Maelstrom's attention, "Hey Cassandra, want to go on that water ride, I heard they travel underground and it gets dark?"

When she heard this, she ends up with a smile on her face, "Alright, it sounds fun, though I'll have to sit in your lap."

Figuring he'd just have to go along with it, they split off from Hercules.

While the couple were riding, Maelstrom had no idea what was gonna be in store for him, the moment they went into the dark tunnel, he was "attacked" by a pair of lips that he knew all too well, 'She used my lap as an excuse for this, I just know it." He thought while they were kissing.

Before things got really heated, they were out of the tunnel and walking back to Hercules, or being carried back in Cassandra's case, just when Hermes appeared and handed Hercules an invite for both brothers, though they did flinch when Hercules ended up hitting a woman in the butt by the wooden bolt.

With the invite given, the 3 got on Pegasus and flew towards the cloud, though they had a slight trouble, since Cassandra was mortal, but Maelstrom explained that she was his invite as his date, with Hermes defending the brothers and date they made their way towards Zeus and Hera.

Though when they got close, the brothers heard Hera say something to Zeus about something towards the brothers and girl.

When Hera saw Cassandra in Maelstrom's arms, she couldn't keep the smile from her face, "Now what is this Maelstrom, carrying Cassandra like a bride-to-be, don't tell me I'm hearing wedding bells."

When the couple heard this question, they blushed crimson red, "M-M-Mother, i-i-it's not like that, it's just that I have to carry Cassandra around because I caused her to relax too much and-!" Realising what he was saying, Maelstrom quickly clammed up, though it seems he said just enough.

Hera gained a look in her eyes, "Oh, care to explain how you made her relax!?"

Gulping nervously, both teens and goddess split from Zeus and Hercules, since she knows Zeus will explain a few things to Hercules, "Well um, I-I figured, since Icarus can stress just about everyone and anyone out, be they monster, god or otherwise, I'd help Cassandra by using the doctor's notes about pressure points and help release those stress by giving her a massage, though I think I did too good-a job, since she can't really use her legs at the moment."

Hearing his explanation, along with seeing the blush and shudder the girl did when Maelstrom said massage, she asked Cassandra, "Is this true my dear, nothing else happened to make you blush in such a way, did it?"

As much as Cassandra wanted to hide it, she couldn't since she was talking to the queen of the gods, "W-Well, the message was so a-amazing that it caused a sudden "release" from me, and I'm not talking about stress, he just hit ALL the right places for it to happen."

Maelstrom was confused, as far as he knew all he did was relax her and she wanted more of the relaxing feeling, as far as he knew, but at the moment, Cassandra was talking in code that only Hera seemed to understand, since the queen had a cunning smile, "Who would've thought my little Maelstrom had the magic fingers to do such a thing like that to you."

Maelstrom just looked confused, "Well with the notes from the doctor, along with the guitar practices, I guess my fingers were precise and strong enough to time the pressure points in the right places!?" He figured they were talking about how relaxed his girlfriend was, but both knew that he was dense when it came to women biology, so he wouldn't really know.

What the three didn't know was a certain pink goddess was listening into their conversation, and she was blushing, "Young Maelstrom has magic fingers when it comes to massages that he caused the girl to "release" herself and loose all the power in her legs, like, I wonder if it'd be effective to goddesses as well?" Thinking to herself.

She couldn't help but wonder, since the "forgetful" kiss, it was kind of difficult to shake the thought from her mind, but now, after hearing the effect of Maelstrom's massage she couldn't help the curiosity, "I'm gonna have to talk with Athena about this since she is the goddess of wisdom she have an idea about it."

With that said, the group made their way back to Zeus and Hercules, not knowing about the listener that they had, they then hear Zeus tell Hercules, "You know what, I think this year, I'll let you and your brother throw the first bolt."

Gaining the attention of Hera, who was now sending Zeus a meaningful look, while the three mortals make their way to the seats, where Hermes began explaining the holiday through song, never knowing the wrath of a certain mother of monsters.

Once the two brothers were on their own cloud, since Cassandra was now sitting on a bench next to Icarus, Zeus tossed them both a lightning bolt, with the two boys getting ready to throw, though while Maelstrom was focusing on the target, Hercules decided to try and show off a little to try and impress everyone.

The two then threw the bolts at the same time, with Maelstrom hitting the target, but then noticed that Hercules's bolt ended up hitting and bouncing off the pillar next to the target, causing it to go flying through the air and hit another pillar, then went and hit the cloud that the gods were on, causing the cloud to crash.

After the crash

Though Hermes tried to sooth Hercules's guilt, it was difficult, with Maelstrom placing a hand on his brother's shoulder to try and help in someway, though when Hermes came back and talked about security calling Hercules a health-hazard, Maelstrom's bottom eye twitched and tried to shoo the god away, telling Hermes that now wasn't a good time for that.

Icarus and Cassandra came up to the two, now that she can finally walk again, Maelstrom replied, "Calm down brother, these things happen, besides, you should know that not all things in text books truly happen, I mean, you know how people make a big fuss over the gods when really, it probably happened differently."

Knowing his brother was right didn't really help the guilt much.

Later

They were now in the stables, with Icarus loading up some prizes he won, with Hercules still beating himself up for the accident.

Unfortunately, before they could try to cheer Hercules up the mother of all monsters began her attack, destroying everything in her path, while Maelstrom tried to herd the people to safety, Hercules rode on Pegasus to try and stop the monster.

Though while Maelstrom was taking care of the people, he spotted Hercules by the Ferris-wheel, once he picked it up Hercules began spinning it on it's side, realising what his brother was about to do, Maelstrom called out, "HERC, NOOOOO!"

But it was too late, the mother of monsters ducked under the attack, causing the wheel to go flying towards the mountain, which then released the father of all monsters, Typhon, causing even more panic.

Now Maelstrom had to quickly herd the people away, missing his brother getting into Typhon's face, that is until he heard, "Oh perfect, you go tel "papa" I'M ON MY WAY FOR THE REMATCH!" Looking up, Maelstrom saw the monster flick his brother away.

As much as Maelstrom wanted to stop the two monsters, especially after Typhon flicked his brother, the blond demigod knew he couldn't handle the two monsters, at least, not by himself, "Okay, now that the people have gotten to safety, I just need to follow them and wait for my brother to return."

As Maelstrom got his plan together, "BOOOMM!" There came a loud explosion of thunder and lightning, "Looks like Herc has told father(!)" Having a deadpan look on his face.

Later

Though it was a gruelling, with Maelstrom using Glenda to distract the two monsters as much as he could, Typhon was still too much, even for Zeus, that is until Hera made an appearance and threw a thunderbolt up Typhon's nose, with Hercules being amazed, Maelstrom just smiles at Hera, "Wow mother, I guess we know where I get my hair colour and my knack with targets!"

With Hercules agreeing, "Well I had practise dear, though last time it went up his other nostril."

This surprised everyone, with everyone exclaiming together, ""LAST TIME!?""

Though Maelstrom had a feeling, while crossing his arms with a nod, "Yeah, I had a feeling that there was more to the history of that myth than what the scrolls said, I mean, no offence father, but even gods need some help with a few things." With Zeus chuckling at the remark.

Though he was about to say something, Echidna stepped in, "Whoa, whoa, whoa, time out, are you saying last time Zeus and Typhon fought, it wasn't a fair fight, well, this time I'll help even the odds!"

Though the look on Hera's face said otherwise, "This time the fight will be dealt with peacefully, OR ELSE."

Hearing such a voice made the monsters exit the ruins, along with sending a shiver up Zeus, Hercules and Maelstrom's backs, since they knew not to anger Hera.

Once the monsters have gone, Hercules was brought back down from his shock, "So wait, mother threw the thunderbolt, so then, that means, everything was just a myth, but you're Zeus, your suppose to be perfect."

Maelstrom saw his brother having a bit of a freak-out, so being the brother that he was, "SLAP!" "YOUCH!" Maelstrom gave a hard slap to Hercules's back causing the parents to look slightly concern, "I told you Bro, everyone isn't perfect, not even gods, so stop freaking out over this."

Before Hercules could argue with his brother, Hera stepped up, "Your brother is right my son, even gods need some help, and besides, Zeus is only human, so to speak." Even though Zeus tried to stop Hera from saying the only human part, she simply ignored it, since she wanted their children to learn to own up to their shortcomings.

Now that Hercules has accepted what his parents have said, along with admitting that he was only human as well, the two brothers agreed to help each other by supporting one another from time to time.

Just before their godly parents could leave, Maelstrom called out to them, "Say mother, father, can I ask you for something?"

Zeus and Hera looked towards their blond son, with Zeus answering, "Why sure lad, what do ya need?"

Rubbing the back of his neck bashfully, he replied, "Well, can I get my own ride, don't get me wrong Pegasus is an amazing horse/bird, and Kurama is an amazing fox, but sometimes I'd like to have my own thing."

Both parents looked at each other, having understanding looks, with Hera answering for them, "Very well Maelstrom, what is it you would like as your means of transportation."

Thinking it through, Maelstrom tried to think of the perfect ride, that is until something caught his eye, "How about a fast and speedy cloud, after all, I wouldn't want Kurama or Pegasus to feel like they're being challenged or something, and all I have to do to get a ride is to yell it's name to the sky!" Turns out he was looking at the clouds while thinking about it, along with remembering what his brother accidentally did to the cloud the gods were riding on.

Hearing the request, the parents could be more proud at Maelstrom for considering the other animals in their lives well being, with Zeus exclaiming, "Very well lad, you can have your own ride, (WHISTLE!)" Using their godly powers they called forth a small yellow cloud zooming towards them while leaving a yellow stream behind it.

Once it reached ground level it came to a halt, slowly puffing towards Maelstrom, "OH WOW, THIS IS SO FRIGGING AWESOME, YA KNOW!"

Both Hera and Zeus smiled at their son's excitement, along with Hercules since he knew his brother wanted his own ride, though before Maelstrom could hop on to his new ride, Hera asked, "Well since your old enough, I believe you should name the little cloud.", "Just be sure to pick a good one, OWW!" With Zeus finishing and getting an elbow for such a remark.

Looking at the cloud, Maelstrom tried to think of a good name for it, that it hit him, "I know, how about Nimbus, that'd be a good name to call it right!"

With the others agreeing, Zeus replies, "Yes, that's a good fast name, also we made sure that the little cloud will only let you ride it and others that you allow, after all, you wouldn't want just anyone riding it, but it's gotta be someone trustworthy son."

With a nod and goodbyes, the godly parents were gone, Maelstrom looks towards his new cloud with a big smile, quickly jumping onto it, he couldn't believe how solid it felt, quickly sitting down he also noticed how soft and comfy it was as well, "So~ Mael, how about we head home, maybe you can give Cassandra a ride on Nimbus."

Hearing his brother's suggestion, Maelstrom quickly hopped back onto his feet, "Holy smokes you're right, Cassandra's gonna freak out about this!" With that the teen and his cloud quickly zoomed off, leaving a slip-stream of white smoke behind them, along with a yelp at the start and a woo-hoo following the stream.

With that, the 3 day holiday was finished for the year, with the two parents of all monsters "talking" to a news reporter about the misinterpretation of the first Typhon/Zeus fight.

The End.

I hope everyone enjoyed this chapter, as you can figure, Naruto now has Nimbus, which I obviously got from the Dragon Ball show, since I figured why not since it won't have the whole "pure of hearts" rule to apply to it, so I thought of a different rule, also I figured it was time for Maelstrom to have his own ride, only it won't take much space since it'll stay in the clouds until it's called for, or the need to eat anything.

I Do Not Own Naruto Or Hercules.(Or Dragon Ball, since Nimbus is apart of the Dragon Ball World.)
