It took a while to figure out how to write this chapter, though I just hope everyone enjoys it.

The Brother Of Hercules

Chapter 26

Maelstrom And The Trojan War

Cafeteria

It was a normal day for the school, though as it turned out it was Homecoming Week, while everyone was working hard there was some that didn't lift a finger, or should it be, someone.

"I'm telling you Helen, being royalty is amazing that you don't have to lift a finger." Says a snooty stuck up voice, while Hercules and Maelstrom was hanging a poster.

Maelstrom's girls were going about their days, Cassandra was helping out by keeping things organised, Rachnera was also helping her as her assistant, Tempest and Cerea were in the kitchen, using their sword skills to chop up fruits and vegetables as training in precision and speed.

As for Cathyl she was helping out by delivering milk for the baking and other milk-involved ingredients, using her strength to move large barrels of the liquid, with no-one being the wiser about the origin of the milk.

Though Helen wasn't with Adonis anymore, the spoilt prince didn't really see that, but Helen being the kindhearted person she was simply replied, "Adonis, shouldn't a strong royal lead by example, otherwise it could cause an uprising."

Adonis on the other hand waved her concern off, "Oh please Helen, what's the point of being royalty if we can't flaunt it, like for example..."

The idiot prince began to tease Hercules and Maelstrom about the poster, making the two boys become annoyed at the prince, with Hercules back talking, along with Maelstrom adding, "Be careful Adonis, you wouldn't want to get on my bad side, cause if you think the pranks were bad before, then you haven't seen MY pranks."

Hearing this caused Hercules to shake in terror slightly, remembering his brother's pranks when they were kids when a group of children were picking on him, lets just say, their family left Greece altogether after Maelstrom got through with them.

Though Adonis didn't really care, he was too busy lording over the students, which caused Hercules to drop down and began arguing with Adonis, with the two heading towards the teacher's office.

While that was happening Helen in a show of kindness went to help Maelstrom with a poster, "H-Here you go Mael, I hope this will help."

With Maelstrom smiling at Helen, causing her to blush slightly at the smile, "Thanks Helen, I'm glad you're being helpful, which is more than you can say for the idiot, stuck-up, spoilt man-baby." This caused Helen to smile more happily, though she ended up giggling when she heard Maelstrom thinking about setting Kurama on the prince later, which showed the two were enjoying themselves, never noticing Cassandra and Rachnera were smiling at the two's activity knowingly.

Later

Though what Maelstrom and the girls don't know was that Hercules had appointed Maelstrom as the Homecoming King, which didn't sit too well with the blond-demigod, "I can't believe you nominated ME to be Homecoming King, Hercules, why would you do such a thing." Maelstrom was about ready to strangle Hercules for dragging him into another bout with Adonis, plus if he does become Homecoming King it would mean being in the spotlight, meaning he couldn't plan any pranks against Adonis, at least at the moment.

Hercules was holding his hands up in surrender, "C-Calm down Mael, I thought, who better to be King than my own brother, I mean, unlike Adonis, you actually care about the students, all he ever cared about is himself!"

With the group agreeing completely with Hercules assessment about Adonis, "Plus we can definitely vouch that you are far more responsible than Adonis to take your fellow students ideals into account."

With Cassandra adding, "I must admit, Hercules has certainly picked the right person for the job."

Though Maelstrom groaned at the thought of being King, he figured he had no choice but to run for it, along with the group putting up posters saying "Vote For Maelstrom Because He Cares About The Students!" While Adonis only put up posters saying "Vote For Adonis Because he Deserves It!" Which caused the students to vote for Maelstrom in a landslide.

Since it didn't take long for the voters to choose Naruto, mostly because of Adonis's arrogance and telling people what to do.

With Adonis passing the crown to Maelstrom, the demigod says to the boy, "You cannot deny Adonis, your whole "holier than thou!" ideals would cause the students to go against you in the end." Since everyone couldn't deny that Adonis's attitude was the cause of his downfall, though as he was nearing the edge of the stage, away from Maelstrom, a bucket of fish-heads ended up landing on Adonis, all the while a red furry tail moves away from the curtain.

Later

Though Maelstrom won the votes, Icarus was taking things too far by kneeling in front of him, seeing this caused Maelstrom to become embarrassed at such a sight, that is until Rachnera wrapped Icarus in a web-ball, along with his mouth, not wanting to listen to Icarus being... Icarus.

While that was happening, Helen approached the group, without Adonis, seeing as the idiot-prince was mopping somewhere, "Hi you guys, so Mael, when are you gonna pick me up for Homecoming?"

This caused Maelstrom and Hercules to become confused, with Cassandra filling in the blanks since Helen became Homecoming Queen unopposed, making things much clearer for the group, also the other girls didn't really feel a need to become Homecoming Queen since Maelstrom basically treats them like that anyway, to an extent.

Though Maelstrom was still confused, Helen just found it cute, though she went off explaining how she needed to get her dress ready for Homecoming, along with other things as well.

Next Day

Unfortunately someone had defaced the school monument of the statue of Prometheus having his liver eaten by the eagle, causing the students to become upset at such a mockery to their daily lives, with Maelstrom having an frown on his face, "So~ those Trojans want a prank war do they," At this part, Mealstrom's face became a cruel smirk, "THEN I'M ABOUT TO GIVE THEM SOMETHING THAT THEY'LL REGRET!"

Though the students of the school support Maelstrom's quest, they couldn't help but have chills running along their spines, though Maelstrom's girls ended up rubbing their thighs together, feeling slightly turned on by he declaration, Hercules on the other hand became ghostly pale, all the while whispering to himself, "I wish the Trojans luck, since no-one can escape a Maelstrom when it becomes enraged, especially in a prank-war."

But before that Maelstrom announced to the students, "Oh, but first, let's clean the statue, then I'll plan a perfect idea for a retaliation!" With the students agreeing, with most of them cleaning the statue, the students asked Maelstrom to start his strategy for his pranks, though as much as Adonis hated the idea of Maelstrom being King, homecoming or not, he can't deny that when it comes to planning a prank he doesn't want to get on the blond demigod's hit-list, Rachnera and Kurama was more than enough.

As it turned out, Maelstrom ended up pranking only once, but that was because some kids were picking on Hercules at the time and since both couldn't use their strength to sort the bullies out, Maelstrom had other ideas, in the end lets just say, the family of the children ended up leaving Greece altogether, after that no-one ended up on Maelstrom's bad side again.

Which is why Maelstrom left the pranking to Kurama and Rachnera, the two understand "damage-control", what the Trojans just did had allowed Maelstrom to release the Prank-Master From Tarturas, which pretty much means Maelstrom can let-loose his frustration, but not only that for all the years that Hercules has known his brother, Maelstrom has never been caught doing his pranks.

Next Day (A.N. I'm not good at setting up a Naruto-sized prank(or in this case a Maelstrom sized one) so I'll leave it to your imagination on how the prank went.)

After his prank against the Trojans, Maelstrom for whatever reason, had a calm and relaxed expression on his face, almost like he spent a whole day at a spa, as it turned out the Trojans made way for peace talks with Prometheus after Maelstrom's pranks were through with them, though thankfully he left their statue alone.

As much as they wanted to return fire, Maelstrom was just too much for them to handle, so they left Prometheus alone.

Allowing the students to enjoy their Homecoming Week, along with the students cheering for Maelstrom's victory against the Trojans, though Adonis was bitter he couldn't help but feel slight fear of Maelstrom.

As for Maelstrom himself, he enjoyed his date with Helen, which allowed the girl to feel even more closer to the blond demigod, for whatever reason, she feels that Mael was a true gentleman, which caused her to blush.

So after the Homecoming, Maelstrom walked Helen home, with him explaining to the girl what he did during his "attack", causing Helen to giggle in joy at such a thing happening.

With a genuine smile, the two were at her door, "Well I must say Mael, you certainly know how to show a girl a good time."

Maelstrom replied back, "I had practice with Cassandra, you'd be amazed at where I can take her." While rubbing the back of his neck nervously, not being able to look the beautiful girl in the eye, letting her know how shy he was.

Helen just smiled, "Well thank you for a good time Mael, I'll see you at school tomorrow." She began leaning towards him, hoping to give a 'thank you' kiss on his cheek.

But what she wasn't expecting was for Maelstrom to turn his face to look at her to reply back, which inadvertently caused her to give him a kiss right on the lips, causing them both to have deep blushes at the sudden lip-lock.

What nether knew was a certain pink goddess was eating popcorn while watching the two, enjoying the whole thing, though when she saw the two blonds lip-locking she ended up falling backwards from her chair and throwing her popcorn all over the place. (A.N. Think Miley and Jake (The Kiss) where Lilly falls backwards, eating popcorn.)

Though instead of Helen quickly pulling away, she felt warm from their lips connecting, then for whatever reason she began wrapping her arms around Maelstrom's neck, bring him closer to her, with Maelstrom having a surprised look in his eyes, but before he could pull away his eyes ended up drooping to a close, with him wrapping his arms around her waist, causing the girl to gain butterflies in her stomach, "Adonis has never made me feel like this before when I kissed him." She couldn't help but think to herself.

The two finally pulled away, their foreheads touching, "U-Um, well, g-goodnight H-Helen." Both with deep blushes because of the kiss.

With the girl nodding in return, unable to say anything because of the butterfly-feeling in her stomach, with that she made her way into her house, with Maelstrom walking away in a dazed, that is until, "WHOA-WHA! WHHHHOOOOOOAAAAAA!", "MY CABAGEEEE!", "SORRRRRYYYYY!" (A.N. Couldn't help putting this back in with a dazed Maelstrom.)

Hearing the commotion caused Helen to giggle at Maelstrom's antics, being a bit prideful that she managed to make the levelheaded and in controlled Maelstrom to cause such an accident, knowing that he'll be alright, her mother poked her head from around the corner, seeing her daughter have a more dazzling smile and a happy blush on her cheeks than before, "Sooo~ how was Homecoming dear, did you have a good time!?"

Still in a daze, Helen replied without thinking, "Oh yes~ Maelstrom was the most gentlest-! I mean, Mael was a true gentleman, both kind and caring!" Managing to regain her sense to hide what she and Maelstrom just did outside the door, but everyone knows you can't hide anything from your mother.

With narrowed eyes, Helen's mother asked, "Well I'm happy for him being such a gentleman, but what was that about him being the gentlest..."

Helen's eyes widen, cursing her slight slip-up, she couldn't really answer her mother or look her in the eyes, until, "WELLL~"

Tat did it, Helen told her mother the whole thing, how Maelstrom returned "fire" against the Trojans so bad that they gave up and did peace talks, all the way to Maelstrom's unfortunate accident with a cabbage cart outside their house, which means she also told her mother how the two ended up kissing each other, along with Helen telling her mother that it felt like she was floating on air along with feeling like she had butterflies in her stomach, which allowed her mother to explain what her daughter was experiencing.

With that, Helen will certainly have a surprise for Maelstrom at school, but his girls will also have a surprise for her as well.

The End.

There you have it, Maelstrom becoming Homecoming King because of his brother, along with doing a prank so~ devastating that the Trojans surrendered to the school, along with a surprised "attack" from Helen.

Also you can't deny that getting into a prank-war with Maelstrom(Naruto) would cause such an event to happen, without anyone truly knowing what happened.

I hope everyone enjoyed this chapter.
