Hades Junior, the son of Hades, sat next to Cerberus at the entrance to The Underworld. He had been waiting there for his father, who had said they 'needed to talk', for almost 30 minutes, but Hades still hadn't shown up.

"He's probably busy with the army or something," Hades Junior thought, "but I wish he would talk to me when he tells me he needs to..."

Hades appeared next to him. He looked angry, but he didn't say anything.

"Sup Dad?" Hades Junior said.

"Oh... nothing much..."

"How's the army going?"

"Fine," he replied deviously, "just fine..."

"Is there anything I need to do?"

"That's what we're going to talk about. You see, my army doesn't have enough soldiers. If we want to take over Olympus, we're going to need more souls."

Hades Junior asked with a confused tone, "And what can I do about that?"

"You are to go to the real world, find a job, and get people for my army."

"You mean kill people... on Earth? You know I can't do that."

"Yes you can. All you have to do is make yourself the owner of some random company and everyone will come running to you..."

"Then I kill them?"

"Yesss..." there was a slight hiss in Hades' voice.

"Ok... I'll try."

Since Hades Junior was cool with Charon, he could get across the River Styx with no problem. All he had to do was ask politely and Charon would ferry him across.
