The Lost Fruits

The Underworld...

At one of the darkest and suffocating places in existence where no soul would find the joy or the mindset to smile, only one person was laughing with joy. His Blue fire hair danced with him and his black teeth were visible to the miserable hell around him.

This man has s Hades himself, laughing at his success of creating his first-ever living perfect fire golem "Hahaha!!! Perfect! So Perfect!!" He said.

"Congratulations, Lord Hades!!" Pain and panic said as they clapped with happiness.

"Hm yes, yes, give me the praise that I deserve!" Hades wasn't shy to display his arrogance as he spoke.

"B-but Lord Hades..." Panic was a little confused about an important subject that he had been avoiding for months since Hades started working for on the Golem.

"What?" Hades replied with a smile, something he wouldn't do if not for his successful Golem project.

Pain who shared his friend's same thought decided to continue in Panic's place " W-we were wondering about a few things...if you don't mind us asking."

"Ey, go ahead since you insist on me I will answer you," Hades replied but never taking his eyes off his new Golem.

"Y-yes!!" Pain looked at Panic after they confirmed it was safe to ask "The first thing is...Why did you make this Golem out of fire and the second is why does he look like...That Fire Human?" Pain pointed at the Golem.

The Golem was a Human-like Golem, but unlike those normal golems, this one is made out of the pure fire, everything about is full of life, even his black shadow eyes that are supposed to be dead are full of intelligence and life.

This golem was created with an image in mind. In the image of...Portgas D Ace.

Hades admired how well crafted and so-real this golem is as he cleared his throat "First of all... Obviously, I created this Bad boy with pure fire because I need him to have fire abilities..." And a smirk was painted on Hades' face "And the reason he looks like that Human Torch is that I have a job for him."

"A job?" Panic tilted his head as he tried to guess what this job would be.

"What kind of job are we talking about here?" Pain spoke.

Hades laughed madly for about a minute before he whispered to Pain and Panic making them scared to "death"

"Call Megara here..." Hades whispered "NOW!!"

Pain and Panic shouted in fear and disappeared in a puff of smoke, leaving Hades to Admit the "Ace" Golem in front shouted of him.

(A.N: I don't know man, seems kina guy to me.)

15 minutes later, a portal was opened, Pain and Panic jumped off followed by the beautiful red headed Megara with a sassy walk in.

"Megara!" Hades, with an adoring and affectionate tone, spoke "oh how I misses you dearly!" He said as he hugged Megara tightly.

"Ew!! Get off me!" Megara "pushed" Hades off her, but sadly she had no strength to push him more than an inch."Hurry up and tell me why you called me here, I have to return to wonder boy's side." She said after Hades let her go.

Hades' eyes teared down as he started crying with a smile on his face "Look at you." He said as he nudged Megara a bit on her shoulder "You have fallen in love!" He said.

Megara's eyes shot open "WH-WHAT?!!" she panicked "I DO N--".

"Shhh..." Hades put his finger on her lips silencing her "I do not blame you, you are still young and still can fall in love, regardless of whatever you have suffered in the past."

"Hades! I don't--"

"I DO NOT BLAME YOU!!" Hades turned with tears on his cheeks.

Megara was at a loss of words. She has been trying to hide her feelings for Hercules for months and she has been as subtle as she can in delaying her jobs of finding his weakness. But it seems Hades has found out regardless.

But his reaction...is far beyond what she has been imagining.

Hades cleaned his nose loudly and took a deep breath, he took out his sunglasses and wore a suit from smoke "Megara..." He called with his hands clapped together.

"...What?" Megara had a bad feeling about this.

"For ages, you have served me with all of your heart, never failed a mission, never disappointed me...But that was when your heart was full of passion for your work." Hades' c.h.e.s.t was heavy with emotions making Pain and Panic and even Megara shocked.

"But unfortunately... I hate to say, Megara...yo-you are..." His hands trembled and his voice cracked " FIReD!" Hades started crying loudly "Waahaaa!!"

"Master Hades, don't feel bad." Pain and Panic came to Hades' comfort as he cried his eyes out.

"The door is that way." Hades opened another portal for Megara and throw her a paper "And this is your soul contract, tear it and you are free."

Megara looked at the paper and it was indeed her contract "I thought you were just fooling around?!" She said.

"Boohoo!!" Hades cried "It saddens me but you are no longer useful to me.". He said.

Megara frowned and with an amused smile, she put her hand on her hip and spoke "Alright, what is the catch?" She asked.

"Oh! I am glad you asked." Hades appeared instantly behind Megara and he gave a shoulder massage "of course, you have to pay the price for breaching our contract." He said.

"And the price is...?"

"Take your "wonder boy" and leave this kingdom." Hades smile "Simple isn't?!"

"That's it?!" Megara was surprised.

"Yes, the moment you tear the paper, you are obliged to take that boy out of this kingdom preferably to the east and never return, he still doesn't know who he is completely, so it is an easy job, or else, I will throw you in the pit right here and right now for your BETRAYAL!!"

Megara backed down a little and looked at Hades hesitantly.

"Now make your choice, Hellfire, or a long life with your wonder boy? as you call him"

Megara sighed and without a moment of hesitation "Hope I don't regret this." She said as she tore the paper apart. Visible chains appeared out if her body then broke like dust making Megara officially free.

"So long!!" Megara jumped through the portal and left the underworld, and this time for good.

Pain and Panic looked at Hades in confusion "Are you for real?" Panic shouted

"Letting her go like that?!" Pain added.

Hades chuckled "yes, she is now free...She will do me one last job...two actually." Hades said making the two devils confused.

"Her first job is leading Zeus's spawn out of the kingdom, as for her second job is...To DIE!!!" Hades said as he looked at the "Ace" Golem.

"Isn't that right? Fire boy? Haha! Ha! HAHAHAHA!!!"
