[Video / Underworld Action ]

Ok, I get it, I do, went a little too far with the ‘taking over worlds’ thing…

[At first one can only hear Hades voice and see the dark and gloomy interior of the Underworld. ]

So Dante, come on, let’s talk this over a bit.

[There is a clank of chain as whomever is using the recording device tries to figure out how to move the camera. There is even a brief glimpse of an eyeball as the creature looks inside the lens to see if the thing is working. ]

We’re both reasonable people here, well, not people per se but… we can work this out. What do you want? There must be something… help finding some one, success in your business… Oh! A new jacket?

[And there the camera finally focuses on Hades who appears to have been chained to his throne in the Underworld. Now for those who know their Greek mythology they should recognize the golden chains that even a God can’t break. Dante and his team successfully managed to put Hades out of commission for a while. ]

Come on, let’s talk, what do you say?

So you've lost again, Hades? I believe this would be your just reward.

[Video]

[styx_and_stones]

Again... What with this again thing?

[Your gloating, not appreciated.]

[Video]

[mountain_sage]

Just think of how many of your schemes we have thwarted. And yet you never learn.

[mynameisallen]

Seems like someone's finally got you.

[styx_and_stones]

A minor setback... I give it a week until I find a way out of this situation.

[no_souls_here]

.... Don't tempt me.

[You might have been trying to persuade Dante, but given the level of irritation Ciel has been faced with he would be sorely tempted to help you....]

Private

[styx_and_stones]

Tempt you? Now how could I possibly tempt you... except, you know, telling you who was behind those murders so you can have your bloody vengeance against the people who insulted your family and brought dishonor down on you... But, that's nothing that could tempt you...

[Hades smiles a wicked smile. ]

Is it?

[sinfullysublime]

I wouldn't waste your breath on him, Sir. [ sebastian is among the 'mildly' irritated. ] ...wouldn't you prefer somebody more capable to lend you a hand? [ you had seen it yourself, hades, the things that he and his master were capable of. his lips curl into a smirk. ]

private;

[styx_and_stones]

Hey, it doesn't have to be Dante, I'm not going to be picky about this... free is free no matter who loosens the chains, right?

So, what did you have in mind? You must want something in return for the help?

[Video]

[blitz_acing]

See? I told you that you wouldn't succeed.

[Video]

[styx_and_stones]

And I told you that you wouldn't win the cup, what are we going to sit here and trade verbal insults like children now? Don't you have something better to do... oh wait, right, you don't.

[ audio ]

[handofdoom]

You're completely worthless, aren't you?

[ audio ]

[styx_and_stones]

This said from 'Mr. No Show'... Look at least I attempted to change things around here. I didn't just complain like some people. And once I get free there will always be time for a second try.

You know what the sad part about all of this is? It's not the whole 'you're a dead god' and 'I don't believe in God' crap. I actually thought you were pretty cool. I don't hate you for the Vergil fiasco, I don't. But you really screwed up this time.

[He's lounging in his office chair like a king. He loves being in power.]

You trusted the wrong people, didn't I tell you I was the best right hand you could never have? This just proves it. I don't think we can have a relationship when you're running off trying to take other demons as your personal friends. It hurts. I feel sad. I thought I was special.

[Trololol.]

[styx_and_stones]

You special? Look Dante... I don't know what you're thinking but you're no Nymph, ok? Some other Gods may swing in that direction but not me. Look Bacchus up... a few drinks and he's ready to try almost anything...

[Maybe that wasn't the implication but with Dante one could never tell. ]

Why would you even want to work as my right hand man? Aren't you into all that destroying evil to protect the mortals hero business?

[conceptualizing]

So much for a God. Shouldn't you be calling for someone else?

[styx_and_stones]

Hey, even Gods have off days...Zeus wakes up on the wrong side of the bed, drops a stray lightening bolt, and BOOM half of Athens is on fire, it happens to everyone.

[See? It is perfectly normal. ]

So Kaiba, buddy...
[You are his buddy since he is in a spot right now.
How are you with chains?

[iscursednomore]

[Fai is just going to sit here and smile.]

Do you enjoy being tied up? It must be fun.

video;

[styx_and_stones]

This looks fun to you? In that case why not come down here? I could make sure you have the most fun ever... just get Pain and Panic to tie you up for a few centuries and leave you down in this dark and gloomy Underworld pit... You'll have a blast!

【 VOICE 】

[decaying]

Maybe next time you'll think about it before giving us all a headache.

【 VOICE 】

[styx_and_stones]

Yes... next time I need to come up with something a little more permanent than a headache...

【 VIDEO 】

[knowledgephilia]

You shouldn't waste your time. You actions will have you in place for some time I'm sure.

【 VIDEO 】

[styx_and_stones]

...

[What was that even? Hades opened his mouth to respond but had to stop and think about that before answering. ]

How would I be wasting my time if I can't go anywhere? I suddenly have all the time in the cosmos!

[At least until he is freed... which really doesn't look like it will take very long at all.]

[ukidokiotaku]

And after such trails our heroes and villains faced. It seems that once again the same thing that happens in all stories has happened again. Such a happy ending for us all. Or is it?

voice;

[styx_and_stones]

You know... you are so exasperatingly happy. Things do not work out like they do in your stories, where did the hero get the girl? No one ended up getting the girl at the end of this. If it's a 'happy ending' shouldn't we be suffering through some terribly sappy wedding scene right now?
