Ophiuchus POV

"So this is meant to be the 'Prison for the Unspoken'. The jail for cruelest beings in the whole entire world, right?" Hades questioned as the pair of them walked in the dead of night, with only a dim lamp to guide them, but that too flickered occasionally.

"Yeah! And with their help, I will rule the Zodiac Kingdom..." I started, and laughed maliciously.

"Wait... did you say 'I'? Because the deal was that we both rule together." Hades reminded.

"Yeah! Whatever you said then!" I whined. 

"I just wish that this place wasn't so far... my feet hurt!" Hades groaned. What a BABY.

"Shut up before I tell the disc to torture you."

We walked for a long time in silence, until a demon-like creature flew up and into my face, scaring the heck out of me. I screamed, and clung on to Hades, who pushed me off him.

"Relax, it's just a bat. See those a lot in the Underworld."

"Oh." I felt so humiliated. I should stop being stupid from now on.

"Wait, Did you just say that this is the prison with the cruelest beings in the world?" questioned Hades in shock.

"Well, duh! Are you deaf?" Hades could be an idiot at times.

"Well, it is just that... shouldn't the security system be really strong... like, almost impenetrable?"  Hades asked.

"Don't worry! We could just teleport to the cells with this weapon!" I smirked. Everything was going well so far.

We teleported to the cells but a two guards nearby stared at us. One guard reached to his walky-talky.

"On the first floor near t...," the more serious guard started. I whispered into my disk:

"Kill him."

The guard dropped to the ground. This disc really was great.

The other guard started staring at us, his eyes shining curiously. He looked like a coward.

"Ouh! Zeet's reelly cuol! Cuon I try?" The guard asked in a very fake Swedish accent.

"Oh! Would you like to join our..." Hades started.

"Yeeh! Cuon I juin whetefer yuou're doing?" (Yeah, can I join whatever you're doing?)

"Would you excuse us just a sec..." I grabbed Hades by his shirt.

"You moron! Why did you ask him to join?" I whisper-shouted. I turned around behind and saw the guard staring eagerly.

"Uh... that's because we need people on our team!" Hades suggested. "Besides, we could use him to convince the other guards."

"Okay, then we kill him."

I turned to the guard. "Show me where the other prisoners are."

"Okey dokey!" The guard said enthusiastically, and ran towards the cells.

Idiot.

"Here you go!" The guard signaled the cells when we finally approached them. All the prisoners groaned when they saw him.

"Please don't sing again..." a guy with tattoos covering every inch of his body put his fingers on the bridge of his nose and shook his head.

"Okey! I will nut sing! I will yodel insteed! YODELAYHEEHOO!"

I think he frightened all of the prisoners. Including me.

"Let me handle this!" I shouted confidently, and marched forward.

"Hey prisoner! Would you like to work for us to rule the Zodiac Kingdom?" Hades asked the prisoners, as if he was in a commercial.

"Why would we want to do that?" asked a tall red haired guy with a scar on his face.

"Because! Just think of it! Us ruling a whole kingdom! We could keep those Zodiacs as prisoners and do whatever we want to them to do, because their powers will be removed. We could change the kingdom's name and do whatever we want to it!" I cackled evilly.

"Your phrases are so stupid!" Hades said unnecessarily. I growled.

"Yah, but it sounds real fresh when ya say it like dat. But how we gonna do dis?" A blond guy with a terrible sense of grammar asked.

"With this!" I showed them the weapon.

Everyone gasped, except for a clueless girl with hair covering one of her eyes, who spat, "That is just a harmless little chip! What does it even do?"

"You can tell this chip to do anything you want and it would do it!" I laughed.

"Ya!" Replied Hades.

"Shush! I am the one who's talking!" I shouted.

"How... how do you know about this?" asked a giant with red skin.

"I declare you to set them free!" I cackled to the chip.

"Sorry. I can't seem to figure out who you want to set free. Please be more specific." replied the chip in a Siri voice.

Then everyone started laughing. At me. Laughing at me.

I felt so embarrassed until I couldn't control my temper, two bolts of lightning fell from the ceiling. Two hydras were summoned from the ground and my eyes turned all black. I looked fierce.

"F*ck you damn chip! Okay, I want you to set the prisoners free in this room!" I shouted.

"Okay! Have a nice day!"  The chip replied back

"Okay! We will all agree to work for you and respect you unless this is a joke!" One man said with with a long bushy beard.

The bars from the cells flew up. Their prison clothes disappeared and they were wearing their normal clothes now.

"Are we just going to stand here, or are we going to free the other villains?" One man said with a raspy voice.

"There's more?" I cackled.

"I mean ya! This is just one room out of like 28!" A pretty but fierce-looking girl teased.

So we rescued them and started to build up an army! They all were working for me! I couldn't believe it! I could actually win the war!

"This weapon is the best thing that has ever happened to me!" I shouted.

"Apert from zee fact zat you were born?" Swedish Guard asked.

"Ya! I guess it is! But I can't help feeling that there is a catch to this weapon! If I could remember it..." Hades was lost in thought.

"It's probably nothing! Just relax..." Hades was being paranoid. Or was he?

Sorry that I haven't been uploading for a while! I need to catch up on my studies as I am really behind! Thank you for reading my series, I hope you are enjoying it. Though I feel like I jumped to the action too fast so this series won't be very long. Anyways, what do you think the catch that Hades suggested is?
