by Chillman22

Naruto has been reincarnated, but in a strange way, he is now the twin brother of Hercules, named, Maelstrom, Mael for short, after being changed to a mortal and brought up by sheep farmers with his brother, the 2 must battle Hades and his minions, along with their friends and trainer, Phil, along with his psychic girlfriend, it can only be Mael(Naruto). On Hiatus for now.

15. Maelstrom And The Golden Girdle

Alright the next chapter is mostly a Maelstrom/Tempest chapter.

Also I realised, the next episode/chapter is the Bacchanal one, after thinking things through, I decided that Maelstrom should play his guitar and sing during the party, but I'm stuck on what I should make him sing, if anyone has any ideas please inform me and I'll try and work it into the story, since I figure the audience should have a little participation in the story.

The Brother Of Hercules

Chapter 15

Maelstrom And The Golden Girdle

Phil Training Ground

Maelstrom was watching his brother race through the training course, since Maelstrom already finished it, but accidentally broke the dummy, but that's what training is for, at the moment though, Maelstrom was trying to hide his snickering at Phil's poor girlish voice acting.

Once his brother accomplished the training, with the dummy intact, Phil and Maelstrom came up to Hercules, with Phil still talking in a high-pitched voice, "Well done hero~, not the fastest on record~, but at least you got to~!"

"Ur Phil, there's something you should know about this "damsel in distress"."

With Phil asking in his pitchy voice, "What are you-," quickly clearing his throat getting his voice back to normal, "What're you talking about!?"

Maelstrom was holding his stomach because of how painful it was holding his laughter at bay, that is until Hercules turned the dummy over and showed it was a male dummy, making Maelstrom feel a little queasy since the thing was ugly, "Jeez, that thing would scare a Hydra into hiding."

Phil gave a shudder when he saw the dummy, "Alright, that's the last time I order anything from the "Zero To Hero" catalogue."

With Maelstrom deadpanning at Phil, "Don't make promises you can't keep Phil, we both know you'll order something from that because of how cheap it is."

This caused the goat-man to glare, seeing how an argument was about to happen Hercules quickly jumped in, "B-But the rescue still counts right, I mean, even if it's an ugly guy in distress doesn't make a difference does it!?"

Phil was about to answer until Maelstrom beat him to the punch, "That's right Herc, I mean, take Tempest as an example, she is a lady who's strong enough to take down centaurs and other nasty beast and monsters, why I can actually say, as a partner in fighting, I would pick Tempest off the bat."

Again Phil was about to cut in, but Hercules got there, "What about Cassandra, are you saying she's not strong enough!?" He asked with a teasing smirk.

Maelstrom simply replied, "Look the point is, women can be just as strong as men, besides, I enjoy cooking from time to time, since to me, that's also training because you have to control your strength for the right food to mix and over stuff."

Now Phil was mad, "WHAT, kid a hero doesn't do those things, that's a woman's job, she suppose to cook and clean." (A.N. Just to let everyone know, I'm not a sexist, this is what Phil really thought on episode 15.)

Seeing the couch blow his top, Maelstrom challenged, "Oh, and I suppose you can say that in front of BOTH Cassandra AND Tempest and see what THEY have to say about that!?"

Now Phil paled at the thought, there was no way he'd be able to handle two angry women, especially if one of them was an amazon and the other has a death-glare to end all death-glares, quickly changing the subject, "Oh would you look at the time, you two gotta hurry or you'll be late for school!"

Both teens rolled their eyes at Phil.

Later

The two brothers were now in Home Greconomics, unfortunately Hercules was paired up with Cassandra and Icarus was somewhere, most likely annoying someone, while Maelstrom was paired up with Tempest, the two hadn't talked about what happened in the forest yet, but it was obvious that Tempest was still trying to come to terms with the offer, but right now being in close proximity with the male she might have feelings for was making her annoyed and irritable.

Once the class got started, Maelstrom looks towards Tempest, giving a nervous smile, "Look Tempest, how about we forget about what happened in the forest for now and work together in this cooking lesson, you know, if we both help each other to cook the faster we'll be finished."

Hearing his offer, Tempest realised that he was right, if they do get this over with they can go about their ways until she's ready with her answer, "Very well, lets hurry up with this annoying mundane lesson, you sort the flour out."

Maelstrom was confused, "How about I work on the wet ingredients and you work on the dry, which is the flour."

Now Tempest was mad, "A man's job is in the kitchen and should never back talk the woman." She pushes the flour towards him.

Getting annoyed, Maelstrom pushes it back, "What are you talking about, men and women she do things equally and helping each other out when needed, don't be so stubborn." Don't get him wrong, Maelstrom enjoys Tempest's company, but her amazon mind-set can get a little overbearing at times, just like now.

With both sides not backing down, they continued to push the bag of flour towards each other, not noticing Icarus coming towards them, "Hey guys, can I borrow some-!"

"POOOFFF!"

Because the two ended up pushing on the flour together, the bag exploded and covered them in the white in ingredient, "Flour!?" With Icarus finishing his sentence, also being covered in it as well.

Things were silent, until Maelstrom began laughing at what happened, along with Icarus joining him, and walking away telling his partner what fun the two were having.

A flour covered Tempest had a sour look on her face, but Maelstrom just smiled at her, "Oh come on, don't give that sour look, I mean, look at us, ha, if you can't laugh at such a failure that we both caused then what's the point of living if you can't enjoy yourself!" He finishes with a bright smile.

Seeing the smile, Tempest couldn't help herself, "Well, I suppose it was rather amusing, (gasp!)" She quickly covered her mouth since she showed a happy smile that didn't come from battling or training.

This confused Maelstrom, "Hey Tempest, whats the matter, all you did was let your hair down slightly!?" He had finally got her to smile outside of the blood-thirsty and battle-thirsty smiles that she sometimes had during a fight.

She quickly whispered to him, "If I was seen smiling like that, I would be dragged away in an instant, not to mention what would happen is someone found out about what happened in the forest."

Maelstrom didn't believe her at first, until a scream got everyone's attention, suddenly women in armour came charging in, with two grabbing Tempest by the arms, planning to drag her away.

But before that Maelstrom dived towards Tempest and quickly grabbed her in his arms, before anyone could say anything, Maelstrom had quickly leapt out the window and began running for it.

The Amazon's in the classroom quickly made their exit, trying to recover the princess.

As for Maelstrom, as he was running with Tempest in his arms, he quickly yelled to the sky, "NIMBUS!" With the cloud answering his call by zooming next to Maelstrom,"Thankfully I remember this time about you." With that said, he hopped onto the cloud and zoomed off into the sky, making a quick getaway from the women who were gaining on them.

As they were in the sky, Tempest came back to reality, "WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING!?" The yell causing Maelstrom to have a ringing in his ear.

Deciding to quickly answer, "Saving my friend from being taken away, besides, you still haven't came up with an answer to what Aphrodite said, it'd be wrong if your forced to answer without truly thinking it through."

Hearing his answer, Tempest was shocked, the reason why he took her was because he saw her as a friend and he also wanted an answer to the possible harem and didn't want anyone to interfere, "Are you an idiot, because of you the school might end up going to war with the amazons, just so you can have your answer!"

Making Nimbus go higher, Maelstrom rolled his eyes, "The way I see it, your response is more important than the school or the amazons, I want to hear it from your own freewill, not from the amazons, not from your mother and not from anyone else, just you, and if you really believe that you shouldn't do what your heart wants because of them, then after everything we've done together, do you really think I'd let anyone come between your answer to something important to you."

She tried to come up with an answer, "As an amazon warrior, it isn't my place to question mother or my amazon sisters." She ended up falling into her amazon mind-set for her answer.

Feeling like they were high enough, Maelstrom rolled his eyes, "If that's how you feel, then I guess I can only do one thing." Having a serious look on his face.

Tempest was slightly dreading the look, "W-What can you do!?"

As for his answer, he quickly yelled, "THIS!" And dropped her over Nimbus, causing the girl to scream to terror that he would do such a thing.

Looking around, she tried to see if there was possibly anything to grab hold of, but found nothing, the ground was coming closer, "AN AMAZON IS AFRAID OF NOTHING, THEY ARE WARRIORS BORN, THEY ARE NEVER AFRAIDDDDDDD, I AM AFRAID, I AM AFRAID OF DYING, I DON'T WANT TO DIE WITHOUT SAYING TO MAELSTROM THAT I LOVE HIM AND WANT TO BE A PART OF HIS HAREMMMMM!"

"Well you should've said so!" Said a cheeky loud voice.

Looking towards the voice, she saw that it was Maelstrom surfing on the cloud having a cocky smile on his face, she could feel her heart racing even more, reaching out to him, wanting more than just to be saved by him.

Maelstrom grabbed a hold on her hand and yanked her towards him, allowing her to fall into a bridal carry and wrap her arms around his neck, all the while the ground was getting closer, but Nimbus pulled into a curve at the last second, allowing the fly back up into the sky and sail through the air in a more calm manner.

Though do to her shaking at her near-death experience, she asked, "W-W-W-Why did you do such a thing!"

Maelstrom looks towards the amazon, "I'm sorry for dropping you like that, it's just, I needed you to break through that amazon-mentality, none of that women are superior to men ideals that your mother and sisters had hammered into your head, I needed to give you a scare so bad that you break through that sort of mind-frame, I'm sorry for giving you that terrifying experience, from now on, we'll only have a fun flight."

Putting her head against his chest, she started beating her fist on his chest, she was both scared and frustrated, "You jerk, don't even do that again!"

He replied with a hurtful smile, "I promise, I will never do such a thing ever again, but ya did have it coming!" He finished in a joking tone, trying to lighten the mood.

This caused to giggle lightly, she then looks up at him and smiles a true smile, "You jerk."

Before he could respond to that, she quickly captures him in a deep kiss, pouring all her heart into it.

At first Maelstrom was surprised by such an act, but then he began kissing back, pouring just as much heart as she does.

Pulling away, the two rest their foreheads against each other, Maelstrom smiles towards her, "I guess this means you've truly agreed with the group love, huh."

She knew he wasn't asking, just stating a fact, but she can't deny just one thing, "You really are an idiot when it comes to girls, aren't you."

He just shrugs his shoulders, "I'm a guy, I can only help by supporting, being there for the girls I love and possibly use my godly strength to carry their shopping." They both chuckled at that.

Both being thankful that the wind had blew most of the flour off of them, though a sobering thought entered Tempest, "You do know we are gonna have to go back, I need to face my mother and find out what trouble I'm in."

Releasing a sigh, Maelstrom replied, "Yeah, I know, but, when you do face her, I'll be right by your side so we can face her together, there are strength in numbers and you'll need all the support you can get."

Though she didn't like it, she couldn't help but smile, since he told her that he'd support her means he'll only help when she needed it and like a team, he'll always watch her back.

Land

They soon came back down, but slowly since they're now surrounded by the amazon warriors, both then hopped of the cloud, once they landed on their feet they stood up tall, the cloud flying back into the sky.

The captain came forward, a scowl on her face, "You will hand the Princess over to us and leave befor-!", "NO, HE WILL BE COMING WITH US, THAT IS MY ORDER!" The Princess interrupted.

Hercules came running up to them, though he was blocked by the amazons, "HEY MAEL, WHAT'S GOING ON, THESE AMAZON HAVEN'T TOLD US ANYTHING!?"

Maelstrom just waved at him, trying to calm him down, "It's alright Herc, I'm just going to visit Tempest's mother and support Tempest through the whole thing, I'll explain everything when we get back, just tell Cassandra she doesn't have to worry." He gave his brother an easy smile.

Though Hercules was still nervous, he calmed down slightly, "(Sigh!) Alright, just try not to do anything that could cause a war to break out alright." Seeing how relaxed his brother was put him at ease.

Here Maelstrom glared at Hercules, "THAT WOULD BE YOU AND YOU'RE CLUMSINESS, YA KNOW!"

Before the brothers could continue their argument, the captain quickly stepped in and dragged the two away, deciding to put a stop to the whole yelling altogether.

Amazon Boat

"Ya know, I'm beginning to regret kidnapping you from your kidnappers Tempest."

You're probably wondering why Maelstrom said that, it's because while the Princess was walking around, waiting to return to Themyscira, the other amazons had tied him to the mast as a captive.

Tempest on the other hand showed a glare on her face, "That is because you kidnapped me in the first place, my sister do not know you like I do so just grit and bare with it until we've reached the island."

As much as she wanted to help him, at the moment she couldn't show weakness in front of her sisters, though she couldn't deny there was some "enjoyment" in seeing Maelstrom in ropes, being unable to move.

Though that doesn't mean he couldn't make himself annoying, "Well could ya at least help me out with food, I was really looking forward to eating what we could've cooked, ya know, but because of your sisters interrupting the lesson my stomach's empty and just need something to occupy it with."

Rolling her eyes, she grabbed a peach and shoved it in his mouth, making him release an oomph! sound from his full mouth, though when he sent her a glare it didn't have any heat because of the peach, causing her to smirk in satisfaction, since him being tied up and had the peach shoved in his mouth was also her own means of payback for the scare he gave her.

The Captain came towards them, a scowl on her face, "Why do you feed this lower life-form, he is not even worthy to look upon us, much less get us to feed him!"

Tempest glared back at the woman, "This man has treated me as his equal ever since the school semester began, he also showed me that he has a heart of a warrior and would face any challenge head on for those he cares about," Maelstrom couldn't help but smile towards the girl, happy that she thought so highly of him, even if she did shove a peach into his mouth.

"Besides, if I had not have done such a thing, the man would be doing nothing but annoy everyone on board and be a complete pest." Okay, that one caused his head to drop.

But then he had an idea, quickly munching and using his tongue to turn the fruit around and finish the whole thing, just as the two were done talking, Maelstrom spat the core in front of their feet, the moment they looked down the two women were confused, with Tempest picking it up and looking it over, "This looks like a...!" She suddenly realised what it was, throwing ht core over the side of the boat.

The two women looked towards Maelstrom how had a big cheeky smile, showing that he somehow eat the peach with no hands, "Man that certainly hit the spot, thanks Tempest, you're the greatest!"

Hearing what he said, Tempest became flustered and angry, knowing it was Maelstrom's way of getting under her skin, yet she was also curious about how he managed to eat the peach without his hands.

But before she could do anything, the Captain stepped up and demanded, "HOW DID YOU EAT THAT PEACH WITH YOUR HANDS TIED, ANSWER ME MAGGOT!"

Looking at the woman in confusion, since she was shouting, Maelstrom just shrugs shoulders as best as he could, "My tongue's quite long and very flexible."

Though when he said that the captain had a red face, whether from embarrassment or rage from the implication no-one really knows, just before she could even think about removing said appendage a yell from the crows nest caught their attention, "LAND HO CAPTAIN!"

Mumbling about how lucky the man was, she went about her duties of getting their ship into port, once the captain was out of sight, Tempest looked towards Maelstrom and asked, "How DID you managed to eat that peach?" She didn't really believe that line about his tongue.

Maelstrom on the other hand gave a dramatic pose, kinda, he just threw his head backwards, missing the mast and replied, "Oh, that really hurt, the thought of my new girlfriend not believing the truth about what I say(!)"

Her eye gained a twitch, "I'm beginning to regret asking to be my boyfriend." Crossing her arms in anger, though it was confusing whether it was real or not.

Having a foxy smile, Maelstrom replies in a teasing tone to that, "You know you love me(!)" (A.N. Zootopia for the win, lol.)

This caused the girl to draw her sword and sliced it downwards, causing his eyebrows to raise in surprise, looking to his left he saw that she had cut the ropes off of him as they fall one by one, causing him to gulp slightly.

Though she didn't answer, all she did was quickly wrapped the rope around his feet like a bull-whip and yanked his feet from under him, "WAH!" Causing him to fall on his back, she began to walk away, but she didn't let go of the rope, causing him to be dragged and yelping and complaining about such a treatment, causing her sister-amazons to smile at such a display, though a few whispered how obvious it was that Tempest loves the man.

Queen's Throne

Queen Hippolyta has always been a hard and disciplined queen, showing no quarter to anybody, whether they're man or woman, she ruled with an iron fist, though when her daughter walked in with a half knocked out teen by the legs with rope, she couldn't help but be confused at the site, "TEMPEST, WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS, BRINGING A HALF UNCONSCIOUS MALE INTO MY THRONE ROOM IS FORBIDDEN, UNLESS THEY ARE BRINGING FOOD FOR US!"

This thunderous order fully woke Maelstrom up, using his godly strength he snapped the rope with ease and looked around wondering what was going on, until he spotted both the queen and Tempest looking at him with raised eyebrows.

A sheepish smile appeared on his face, rubbing the back of his neck nervously, "Um, G-Greetings your majesty, I'm Maelstrom a friend of your daughter's as well as her training partner and recent boyfriend!"

Before he could continue with his greeting, the queen quickly grabbed a spear by her throne and threw it straight at Maelstrom's head, but just as it was an inch from his face he'd grabbed the wooden handle and stopped it from hitting it's mark, making Tempest widen her eyes in shock since no-one had managed to stop her mother's thrown spear before, and she became worried for what it could mean.

The queen on the other hand showed a emotionless face, giving nothing away.

Maelstrom looked at the spear and began to examine it, flipping it, spinning it and throwing it into the air and catching it, nodding his head, "This is an awesome spear, far better than the ones Phil had, but I think you kinda threw it wrong."

Quickly holding the spear right, Maelstrom threw it sending it just past the queen's head where it then embedded itself into the stone wall, the queen looked towards the spear, yet something surprised her slightly, even though the spear was in the wall it should've completely stopped, but if her eyes weren't deceiving her it looked like the spear was slowly moving farther into the wall, quickly putting her emotionless face back on, she looked at the male below her, "You do realise it is a crime to try and harm the queen in such a way!"

Maelstrom just stood up straight, his hands resting on his hips, "I only gave you the same greeting you gave me, it's not my fault that the Amazon customs haven't been taught at school, though, given how secretive that would be, it's not surprising that no knows how to NOT offend an Amazon in some innocent way." He shows Queen Hippolyta a challenging smirk, telling her if he was wrong.

All the amazons in the room could feel the challenging atmosphere the two were showing, nether one backing down, with Maelstrom showing just how stubborn he can be against the strong-willed Queen of the Amazons.

No-one dared move, until "Tell me boy, what do you think of women in general, should they cook and clean, or should they be warriors!"

A confused look appeared on Maelstrom's face, looking towards the queen he asked back, "Why can't both genders do both those things, as far as I'm concerned both genders are equal, also, there's nothing wrong with cooking, as far as I know it's relaxing after a hard day of training, also if you're out in the wilderness how are you gonna prepare your food if you don't cook it, I mean, to me cooking is also training, it allows you to use the herbs in the forests that you're in to make the food better and if ever you become sick due to some poisoning you can use medicinal herbs to cure yourself."

Hearing the possibility and the logic behind what the teen male had said she couldn't fight him on it.

Six Days Later

Right now Maelstrom was back at school, having to take Nimbus and leaving Tempest behind at her own request/demand, since the queen offered Tempest the challenge for the golden girdle, stating if Tempest could retrieve the girdle she will allow Tempest to return to school as well as date the man(Maelstrom), which confused Maelstrom at first, but figured it was an Amazonian thing.

Though during his stay, he managed to meet Tempest's father and learned quite a bit of cooking skills from the man, but then the two began talking and both got inventive with their foods, Maelstrom even showed the man a few notes on herbs and spices to help improve the body more, along with making the food taste better, thanks to the doctor's help. (A.N. Think the powdered herb from Tenchi Muyo! War on Geminar, or at least something close to it.)

But then Tempest's began explaining about Bay Leaves in placky(Have no idea what it is), along with how it really brings the dish together, though Maelstrom had understood what the man truly meant, he went and helped Tempest out as much as he could.

With both teens and the father facing Hippolyta together, with the father explaining that it was time for a change.

It's been three days since then, with the four friends becoming worried about the amazon girl, though at the moment they were in cooking class wondering what was gonna happen now.

But as Maelstrom was offering his dish, with the teacher being impressed, "My, such a scrumptious dish Maelstrom, you have improved in your cooking skills, also do I detect a hint of Bay Leaf perhaps?"

With Maelstrom replying with a slight smile, "Well, sometimes it's needed you know." Remembering his goodbye from Tempest.

"Really, let me have a taste of that? Hmm, now that's good Placky, hey if the hero-thing doesn't work out how about being a chef." Spoke a familiar voice, with Maelstrom showing his surprise.

Since standing before him was King Darius, tasting his food, "What the, King Darius, wait then does that mean...?"

Another familiar voice called out, "That's right Maelstrom, I'm back, and my parents wanted a tour of the school!" Giving Maelstrom a loving smile.

Suddenly Icarus pops up, "Well your highness, I can see where Tempest got her good looks from." Suddenly the queen had grabbed Icarus by his toga, holding a dagger to his throat, making the boy scared, "And her winning personality (GULP!)"

While Darius gives the students a lesson on how to make gravy, the queen quickly gave out orders to listen to him, "ALSO NO-ONE CAN DATE MY DAUGHTER EXCEPT MAELSTROM, HE HAS EARNED THE RESPECT OF THE AMAZONS AND HAS THE RIGHT TO DATE MY DAUGHTER, AND POSSIBLY MARRY HER IN THE FUTURE!"

Hearing such a remark made Tempest blush at the order, but Maelstrom on the other hand paled since he had a sudden traumatic flashback to the dream he had, "NO I'M TOO YOUNG TO GET MARRIED!" When he yelled that he suddenly leapt out the window and ran off.

The Amazon family were confused at the display, with Darius asking while mixing his ingredients, "What the heck was that all about!?"

With the Queen, who was still holding Icarus at knife-point replied, "I do not know husband, TEMPEST, YOU ARE TO GO AND HUNT DOWN YOUR BOY FRIEND AND FIND OUT WHATS WRONG WITH HIM!"

Her daughter straightened up and rushed to comply with the order, exiting to hunt down Maelstrom, with Hercules leaning to whisper to Cassandra, "Are you sure you're alright with Tempest chasing Mael?" Having no idea that the three to have a harem.

But she whispered back with a smirk, "You're more than welcome to tell the QUEEN OF THE AMAZONS if you want, but I much prefer to stay alive." Hercules paled at that answer, not knowing that the dating trio had decided to keep their harem idea a secret.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHhhhhhhh~!"

For however long it'll last for, though that doesn't mean Cassandra wasn't gonna have fun with stringing Hercules along and make him extremely confused, she's always enjoyed other peoples misery, even if it's her boyfriend's brother.

The End.

There you have it, a scare to get Tempest to break through her Amazon-mentality, along with meeting her parents and changing the Amazon ways slightly, and Maelstrom gaining the parents blessing to date their daughter, with a possible marriage in the future, though because of the dream from the last chapter, Maelstrom is now slightly traumatised at possibly getting married at a young age, also the chase from the last chapter couldn't have helped him ether, which I thought would make a comedic twist to it.

Also sorry if this chapter was insulting to any females out there because of the sexist remark, it was apart of the show.

I just realised, the next episode/chapter is the Bacchanal one, after thinking things through, I decided that Maelstrom should play his guitar and sing during the party, but I'm stuck on what I should make him sing, if anyone has any ideas please inform me and I'll try and work it into the story, since I figure the audience should have a little participation in the story.

I Do Not Own Maelstrom Or Hercules.
