[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?

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.]

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?

Hey, I'm not a fruit loop either. Get serious all ready!

I'm not a hero, Hades. I'm a demon, I'm made of all things that are bad and then some. I just don't like things being more out of control than I am. I keep things in check. I also don't like innocent people getting hurt but if someone deserves it, I don't mind getting my hands dirty. I look forward to situations like that, actually.

'Antihero' is hero enough... Everything would have balanced itself out again once things were settled.

That's not the point, Hades. You can't just take over, that pisses people off. You were a lot more subtle though. That witch you hang out with, she didn't have a chance.

That Icy... put guards on all the entrances I said... Did she listen? No!

Moving up and out of this moldy old Underworld is worth a few people being upset. Oy, I mean mortals, they are always whining and complaining about something anyway...

I hear you. Still. You can't storm a castle with people still in it. Too many hero's out there. See, all I wanted was your thrown. Maybe that cool table in your war room. I took some vases. [He's going to show you a vase he took.]

You look pretty good in this one. Not so blue.

Wait... the Chief of Police is stealing from me? And you said I couldn't take over one little castle??

I think you might have this whole right and wrong concept a bit upside down and backwards if you know what I mean. Don't be preaching morality if you don't have any yourself and all that...

Hey, I never said I was the good guy. You keep saying it, not me. So far every bad stunt you pull, someone stops it. I, on the other hand, haven't been caught yet. I'd call becoming police chief a very strategic move.

And what are you complaining about, you stole my soul. I think I'm allowed some compensation.

And you keep going on and on about that... oy! I didn't steal your soul... no one can sell some one else's soul that has to be the soul owner's choice. I just sealed your human side in the stone so your demon side would be more easily controlled. See? Not a big deal, easily reversible...

It still hurt my feelings. Dick.

So now, I have your vases and have you chained to your thrown. I think you shouldn't be asking anything from me. This could have gone a lot worse.

Oh... oh wow... I hurt your feelings? Geez, I had no idea... I feel really terrible now...

[Total unrepentant mocking tone here.]

Why didn't you just say so? I mean... I never would have thought your feelings were that fragile! Maybe it's your human side making you all weepy and emotional, here grab a few tissues have a good cry, and we can talk about this some more when you have had time to work all of these feelings out...

[As for the vases.]

And by the way, those aren't 'vases'. what you stole are called amphorae, very useful, they used to have dates in them...

It's okay, I'll manage. I've survived this wrong, don't cry for me. [Just as teasing.]

What do you mean they hold dates in them?

You know dates... the little dried wrinkled fruit... tasty, go well with cheese or when baked into cookies...

That so. [You're bringing up food. Now he's really happy he stole them.]

Where do I get some of those? I didn't find your kitchen.

Really... there should have been some in there... Unless my idiot minions ate them all!

[You are SO lucky you did not find Underworld dates Dante. Eat any food grown in the Underworld and you are trapped there. Greek mythology. ^,^

So Hades is upset Dante had a near escape there. That would have been some nice payback trapping him in the Underworld forever.]

[That's what they said about ambrosia. CHALLENGE ACCEPTED? He is going to get scolded for this.]

Probably. I'll find something to put in there.
