"Uncle! uncle!" Hercules yelled in a loud voice
Jon was being chewed by Cerberus in it's mouth as his acid blood sprayed everywhere from his injuries
"What do I owe the pleasure of your visit, nephew?" Hades appeared in a cloud of smoke
"I need... Want to capture Cerberus and also retrieve my silly brother who offended you" Hercules said
"Your brother? He's one of Zeus' sons? And he was after his aunt and sister? I don't remember him but I am not surprised if he's an offspring of my brother, Zeus!" Hades said
"I am not so merciful. But your sister Persephone is. She tolde to give Pilithaus back and give you Cerberus to do as you wish. But it isn't free" Hades said
"Name what you want, Uncle" Hercules said
"I want lives! This nephew Pirithous reaps many lives! I want an increase in productivity. At least 5 a lives a week. And as for you, for my granting you Cerberus, you will grant me a boon. It doesn't matter where or when, when I ask for it, you will grant it, no matter what it is!" Hades said
"Done" Hercules said, knowing this might bite him in the ass
He just hoped it wouldn't be a request to take someone's life or something. Swearing an oath to a major God is not something you can get out off!
Cerberus released Jon as his body recovered on the ground. Unable to escape, he endured every bite, felt every chomp and suffered every gmaw and grind
Jon y still on the ground, his body recovering. "Stay still and recover. You're saved" Hercules whispered to him. Theseus', who was still there, helped him sit up
Hades tied adamant chains around Cerberus, binding it as the chains were passed to Hercules.
Hercules led the limping Jon on Theseus' shoulder out of the Underworld, carrying Cerberus on his shoulder like he did the boar.
Persephone watched as they departed, longing for Jon another immortal who loved her, who didn't kidnap her against her will!
When they arrived at Athens, Hercules left to show that he accomplished his twelfth task. Theseus' wife had been kidnapped and taken away to Troy!
They were after Helen, Theseus' beautiful wife. But since Hippolyta was still regarded as his wife, she was taken instead. And she was extraordinarily beautiful, so the Trojens didn't know she wasn't Helen!
Andromeda also didn't resist, hiding the fact that she was a well trained Amazonian warrior, timidly being know snapped knowing she would be rescued!
"My wife? I pnned to woo Helen, but she was never my wife! Not yet! Who was captured?" Theseus asked the Arthenians
The Arthenian friend told him that when he left with Pirithous, Helen was wooed by Meneus!
"Meneus? The spartan?" Theseus asked angrily
Although no wife of his was stolen, the nerve of someone else even thinking of doing to enraged him
"By the way.. where is Hippolyta?" Jon wondered
Then Theseus remembered that Troy was kidnapped yet again to Troy to be Paris' wife
He ughed. What goes around comes around. Someone who wanted to steal his wife got her stolen from him instead!
"I think... the Trojans might have taken Hippolyta" Jon said
"Hippolyta? No wonder it was rumoured that Helen is the most beautiful woman in the world. When I wanted to chase Helen, she didn't strike me as overwhelmingly beautiful. Hippolyta... she's quite the beauty" Theseus said
"I'll say" Jon said
"You.. you had her too, didn't you? With Hercules?" Theseus asked
"That was a while ago. What do you want to do? Meneus called on all of Helen's suitors to fulfill their oaths and fight the Trojans for her" Jon asked
"I wasn't a suitor. And he tried to take my wife! If it really was Hippolyta, she would now be the cause of two wars, the Attic war and the Trojan war! She's quite the trouble maker!" Theseus said
Jon shook his head and agreed. Little did he know that although Theseus didn't participate, and neither did Hercules, that Jon would somehow be pulled into this Trojan War mess for Andromeda!
Over the millennia, both of them seem to have their fates intertwined!

"Be careful not to look into her eyes!" Perseus warned, several decades earlier in a garden in Sarpedon
Perseus wore Hades' hat, turning him invisible. Jon was cloaked using his own ability. Many years ter, he would fight Hades as Pirithaus and got overwhelmed by the major God using that very same hat!
Perseus wielded a sword that could cut anything called the Harpe, and Jon had sparred with him many times on the way here, using his wrist bdes made of alien metal. He could not cut off the Harpe, and neither could the Harpe cut his bdes!
Perseus held a mirrored shield too, given to him by Athena. Jon's whole metalic body was shiny and mirrored making him quite bright and unmissable as he walked through the garden
Perseus walked backwards, looking at his shield and saw Medusa lying in the grass, asleep!
Suddenly, she woke up and saw Jon's shiny body and attacked!
Jon turned to look at her, but found that her gaze did not affect him! Perhaps because he was partially a machine and was not affected by her petrifying gaze!
He fired psma bolts from his psma casters hitting her in the face and pierced her torso with his combi stick, aiming for her heart, exiting out her back!
Badly hurt, she stumbled in pce as Jon pierced her breast with his wrist bde.
"Well met!" Perseus yelled as he jumped with his eyes closed and chopped off Medusa's head with one blow!
"That was easier than I thought" Jon said
"Easier because you were somehow unaffected by her gaze" Perseus said
Jon picked up her head and handed it to Perseus who put her head in a sack with his eyes closed
"What the hell are those?" Jon asked, looking as three creatures started shaking off the Medusa's blood, seemingly coming out of them!
One was a winged stallion, the other a man in full greek armor, wearing a gorgon mask with gold tusks and a golden sword, and the third was a creature with a serpent headed tail!
"Pegasus, Chrysaur and Amphisbaena!" Jon said, recalling from his hud in his head containing all the memory of Skynet
"How do you know such things? Are you an oracle? You've been telling me these things our whole journey" Perseus asked
"I just know stuff. It's a gift" Jon said
"As I said, you're an oracle!" Perseus said
--
Perseus flew back riding on Pegasus while Jon flew using wings out of his back
On the way, passing the coast of Aethiophia, they saw a woman, topless and only wearing panties chained to a rock!
"Andromeda?"Jon muttered
"You know her? She's beautiful" Perseus said
She had been sacrificed to Cetus a huge sea monster by Poseidon!
"Poseidon again. He might be the father of Theseus, but so many problems are caused by him. Asterion thei minotaur, Hippolytus' death... " Jon thought to himself. Although he had fought Hades, Hades caused less problems for Jon than Poseidon!
"I must rescue her and make her mine!x Perseus said
He flew and nded on a rock above where Andromeda was tied
The monster Cetus lunged forwards to attack and Jon fired multiple psma bolts to distract it
Perseus took out Medusa's head, petrifying the giant monster
Then, keeping the head, hr climbed down to Andromeda and freed her, using his sword Harpe to cut h we r chains off!
He picked her and flew off with her on Pegasus.
Jon flew beside them and they changed gnces. Although Jon had seen and been with her on many occasions after this, at this time, the only time she's seen him is with Thor in Ragnarok!
Time travel sure is complicated. Andromeda lived throughy home normally, but Jon was travelling backwards in time, jumping adventure to adventure with the many legends and participating in their adventures!
