"Prometheus!" Millenia called, flying around searching for him.
"Millenia!" He called back. She dove down, and he gasped at the sight of the lightning bolt in her hand. "Milly, c'mon! Remember what you said? I'm still a person!" She sighed and threw the bolt down on the ground carefully, so it wouldn't make a bang.
"Relax, I'm not going to throw it. My father wouldn't listen to me. He wanted me to find Hercules." She looked down at her little brother, who slept soundly. "How's his amnesia?"
"He was remembering things little by little. I carried him here and made sure he was resting." Millenia nodded.
"Thank you." Then she flew down to the ground, Jewel changing back to a jewel and going around Millenia's neck. Millenia stared at the bolt.
"Dad's never let me use on of his lightning bolts. Not once in my entire life, and I'm 1798 years old. Letting me use one now..." she looked up at Prometheus. "He's really mad." Prometheus shifted uncomfortably. She sighed. "Im going to try and see if I can get you somewhere he won't find you. I don't know where yet, but I will find someplace." Prometheus nodded.
Thanks, Milly. I owe you and Sonny over here big." She chuckled and nodded.
"Big, doesn't even begin to cover it, Titan. My father despises the fact that you stole from Olympus." Prometheus shrugged.
"We needed the light! Without it, the mortals wouldn't know anything!" She nodded.
"I know... I just wish you hadn't stolen..." then she and Prometheus drifted off to sleep. She dreamt of fighting, fire, Zeus yelling, Prometheus falling.
"Prometheus!" She sat up quickly and saw Zeus! He was glaring down from the clouds as Prometheus and Hercules sat up, wide eyed!
"Let's get out of here!" Prometheus shouted, standing up. But they were surrounded! Demeter on one side with a load of boars, Ares on another with a Spartan Army, Poseidon at the sea. Even Hades rose from the Underworld.
"Boom! Let's get ready to rumble!" He shouted, all pumped up. Then two zaps of lightning came down, hitting Prometheus and holding him to the ground.
"Millenia! Hercules!" Zeus shouted. "Move!" He held a lightning bolt, pointed at Prometheus. Hercules stared at Zeus.
"Father! No!" Millenia shouted, flying Jewel right up in front of Prometheus. Hercules did the same with Pegasus.
"Millenia! What's happening?" He asked her. She looked at him.
"That hotheaded, second rate god you mentioned? That was our father!" Hercules looked at Zeus, who continued to glare at them.
"You're the one who trapped Prometheus? We're the ones who rescued him!" Zeus's eyes widened and he looked at Millenia.
"Is this true?" She nodded.
"Yes! That's what I was trying to tell you! Now call off the gods and let's be reasonable!" Hades came over, wrapping his arm around Zeus.
"Actually, my little ray of sunshine, Daddy is unable to do that! Because I distinctly remember, the King of the Gods himself, saying that he doesn't change his mind!" Zeus looked defeated as Hades said this. "And he also said, to destroy those who freed Prometheus! And since Millenia can't be destroyed, little Hercules is up!" Then he zapped Millenia, Jewel, and Pegasus and they found themselves in a gilded bird cage!
"C'mon, Eagle! It's time for a snack!" Then he let out another zap, and the Eagle came over, his wings a flame, him looking very Underwordly. He laughed, looking at himself.
"Oh yeah! Fried liver!" Then he zoomed down at Prometheus, who struggled against his bonds.
"Prometheus!" Hercules ran over and knocked the Eagle back with a swift punch to the beak.
"Hercules!" Millenia shouted, not wanting to watch, but not bearing to turn away from the fight. But she didn't need to worry. The Eagle dove back down, his talons ready to claw at Hercules, but Hercules was smart enough to grab the Eagle by the neck, swung him around, and threw him into the water, where the fire disappeared and he turned back into a regular eagle. Then he went over to Zeus.
"Father, can't you at least tell me why you trapped Prometheus? He didn't do anything wrong. He was helping the mortals." Zeus looked slightly embarrassed.
"Well, I got mad because he's just taken the fire! We weren't sure of the mortals were ready! The wrong move could've caused mass destruction."
"But it didn't." Hercules said, smiling. Zeus looked at Prometheus. "Prometheus knew what he was doing when he brought fire to Earth. And you didn't need to punish for all eternity." Zeus sighed.
"Alright. I suppose, just this once, I change my mind. Prometheus, you can go free." He releases the Titan from his bonds and set Millenia Dan Pegasus free from the bird cage. Hades came running over to him.
"Oh! While you're changing your mind, could you-!"
"Forget it!"
