Midnight walks up on a cloud once again. Yet this time it was the same blue as most of Idia's hair. Staying on it, she looked around. She seemed to be in a damp cave area. She looked down to see a lake with souls on it. Watching as it flows down or straight? The structure of this place was confusing. She gently tapped the cloud as it followed the path of the lake or river of souls. It was very dark despite the light coming from the lake/river of souls. Towards the end of it, there is a huge opening with a black furred three-headed dog sticking their head out. Cerberus, the three-headed dog guardian of the Underworld. She held her ears down as she shook nervously. The dog's aura was scary. She held onto the cloud as they flew past Cerberus, who didn't even seem to notice her. As they reached the end of the path, the cloud kept on flying somewhere.

It seemed like it was following a trail of some kind. She lifts her head up slowly. There is slightly more light here down. Looking around, she spots Hades. Her cloud floats over towards him. She looked up at him with a smile. "Hi hi!" She said while waving. Hades looks up from the pool of souls and turns towards her. "Oh hello there mini Cerberus." He seemed pretty happy. "I finally got Wonderboy's weakness." He said happily before pointing down at the circling spiral of souls. She carefully peaked over her cloud. A soul had a purple hue to it for a moment as she noticed it was that Meg girl's soul. She scooted back safely on the cloud as she looked back towards him. "How is...she Wonder...Hercules's weakness?" She said slowly as she tried to keep her words simple. Hades smiled and laughed. "Wanna know? Cause he loves her! Love is the greatest weakness of anyone!" He chuckled as he looked towards where she came from. "Watch there for him. I just gotta make sure she doesn't get too far down." Midnight looked towards the entrance of this area. 'Doesn't Hades get stuck in the soul spiral? Dear Seven, how the heckles do I make him not get stuck there forever?!' As she tries to think of something, she sees Hercules walking down. "He's here." She said with her voice cracking slightly. Hades looked up before fixing his fire hair. She floated away under the disguise of letting him do his thing. 'I don't think I can change his motive. He does do his job well, it's just that he was just done with the other Gods. Maybe I could just save him from falling? I don't know enough magic to do illusion magic! Maybe just have to accept his defeat?' She tried to rack her brain around it. She let out a small yelp as she heard someone jump into the soul spiral. She looks down from her cloud to see Hercules trying to swim to Meg's soul. Covering her eyes as she floats towards Hades. Nervously saying "Please don't do anything if he gets out. Cerberus will be alone." She looked up towards him. Hades was still looking at the soul spiral but he did nod. Not really seeming to care but Cerberus was the only TRUE connection he had here as his minions weren't the best at all.

A bright glow came from the soul spiral. "How could a human get out of the River S.T.Y.X?!" Hades shouted before uncovering his eyes. Seeing Hercules with Meg's soul in his arms. Hercules was glowing a bright yellow. Walking past Hades as he looked down at River S.T.Y.X in shock. Did Hercules finally become a God or a Demi-God during his mission to save Meg? Hercules walked away as he went to exit the Underworld. Turning his head back a few times to see if Hades was going to chase after him, yet he didn't. Midnight slowly got off of the cloud as she hugged Hades's leg. That really must have hurt his pride. She let out a yelp before she was held above the River. Looking down nervously. Really, really, REALLY, nervous about what would happen if she fell into it. Hades let out a loud yell, maybe in annoyance. His fire went red along with a red fire overtaking him. It didn't really hurt Midnight yet it did feel uncomfortably warm. Hades did put her back on the ground afterwards. "How did he? How? HOW?" He scowled to himself. Walking back towards where Cerberus is. Throwing a slab of meat towards the three-headed dog. Yet two more slabs of meat appeared as the three heads stopped fighting eat other and ate their own slabs of meat. "I umm.....Love is a weakness but it can also...be a strength?" Her mumbled nervously in an attempt to comfort Hades. "Wonderboy sure showed that.." He said in an annoyed tone of voice. They just stood there as they watched Cerberus finish the meat and nap away. 

Hades walked towards his throne area and sat on his throne. Having a hand on his head as his two minions hid. "Zeus will surely punish me later or something." He let out an annoyed sigh before sinking back into his chair. "Maybe being locked up for a few thousand years will do me some good to rest during then." Midnight stared up at him. He patted her on his head. "You dumb kids are so easy to make upset." He frowned before looking away. "Shoo already before Zeus gets here." Midnight slowly nods before climbing back onto her cloud. Waving towards Hades as her clouds flies to leave the Underworld. A bright glow coming from the exit/entrance to the Underworld.

Being in the room of Outlines. Looking around, eyes landing on the Queen of Hearts's outline. Her staff was there as her outline was full and it was just a red silhouette of her. Scar's silhouette was a soft orange-brown with the stuffed animal of him in the center of it. Ursula's silhouette was a cool blue with the necklace in the center, the string was a soft gold color with some white on it with the shell being a soft blue color with white wave outlines on it. Jafar's silhouette is a darker red. The two snake bracelets are there, a red and blue pattern with the two snacks wrapped around the roses were also there. Regina's silhouette is a cool purple color. The small crown clip in there next to the knife with an apple carving it in. She looked down at herself. Her items are in their slots. She looked around to see a green outline of someone. Once she touches the outline, her items reappear on her. In one hand was the staff, her other hand holding the Scar plushy, the necklace around her neck, her two snack bracelets on one hand, on her other is the image of two snacks around roses, the crown clip in her hand, and around her waist was a belt with a knife holding that is holding the knife with the apple carving. Suddenly the outline goes dim as the room shakes. Vines appear from the ground as they cover the silhouettes and opens a hole in the ground. Midnight falls into the hole as she holds her items close to her. Falling down a dark void as the vines reach her. Cradling her as she nervously looks around before sleep over takes her. A beautiful green fire appears before her just as she drifts off to slumber...
