Hercules and the Infiltrator
By November Oradot

“I don’t know how he’s doing it,” said Hades with a scowl, “Every place I don’t look, he’s there. All the places I look—he’s not there. I show up after he leaves, or before he arrives. The stupid kid is managing to elude me every time I come at him and I DON’T KNOW HOW!” He burst into flame, and Pain and Panic made a squeaking noise.
“Have you tried Tartarus Vision?” suggested Panic nervously.
“It was a major failure,” said Hades, still orange.
“Following him around?” said Pain.
“Tried that.”
“Um…attached a hidden camera to him?”
“Pass.”
“Sent spies after him?”
“Yes, yes, I’ve done everything, alright, so quit asking—“ Hades froze and blinked. “Did you say…spies?!”
Pain nodded happily, “Uh-huh!”
“Spies…..hey, hey! That….could work!” exclaimed Hades, “Pain, babe, I think ya have something there!”
Pain looked extremely pleased with himself.
“But whom to do the job…well…someone….female…WonderBreath’ll never suspect a girl…but….” Hades began to pace, muttering to himself. “Seph’s up on Earth busy with her ‘spring thing’, so…”
Pain and Panic exchanged glances.
“Maybe….boss….sir….you could get…well…your—“ Pain started.
“What are you talking ab—whoa! That is a great idea!” said Hades, “Pain! You are on a roll!”
Panic rolled his eyes, jealous.
“She’ll get the job done…” Hades said proudly, and then whistled. “Dollface, c’mere, I need ya to do me a little favor.”
A figure emerged from the shadows of the Underworld. “Whatever…”

lol, thanks! next part::

“Can you believe this homework?!” exclaimed Hercules, “How are we supposed to write a three scroll essay by tomorrow!?”
“You had three weeks to do it,” said Cassandra.
“I was busy with hero training!” protested Herc.
Cassandra rolled her eyes, “Better work on your excuses—no teacher will fall for that one.”
“I’m serious, Cassandra.”
“So am I.”
Hercules looked around, suddenly noting silence/lack-of-craziness. “Hey…where’s Icarus?”
Cassandra shrugged. “Beats me.”
“But—“ Hercules looked at his cynical friend, “Alright, Cassandra, what’d you do to him?”
“I didn’t do anything…this time,” said Cassandra, crossing her arms, and shrugging again, “Besides, it’s kinda peaceful without the little runt…”
“Herc! Herc! Have I got a surprise for you!” cried Icarus, running up to the two just then, “It’s great news!”
Cassandra sighed. “But all good things must come to an end.”
“What’s-a-matter, Icarus?” said Hercules, “Someone in need of rescuing?”
Icarus shook his head. “Nope!”
“Did Adonis get transferred into another school?” put in Cassandra.
“Guess aga-a-ain!” Icarus sing-songed.
“We don’t have to do the essay assignment?” said Hercules.
Icarus looked puzzled. “What essay assignment?”
“The one that’s due tomorrow,” said Hercules.
“WHAT!?! WE HAVE AN ESSAY DUE—but, no. That’s not it.”
“Then what?”
“There’s a new kid! And she’s right up your alley…”
Hercules brightened. “A new kid…a…a new girl? Where?”
“Right in the middle of that huge crowd of boys giving her flowers and chocolates and all sorts of mushy romantic stuff! You know, like the things I give to my Cassandra!” said Icarus. All three of them looked over to an enormous mob of teenage boys.
Cassandra grimaced. “And I’m sure she’s just loving that….”
“Lemme guess—Adonis is right in the middle of that crowd,” said Hercules with a groan.
“Correct!”
Herc groaned again. “I don’t stand a chance.”
They moved a little closer to the mob, and heard Adonis’s voice: “Come on now, sweetheart, let me take you away from all of these peasants…one as beautiful as you simply can’t be bothered with ones such as these.”
There was a noise that sounded just like someone gagging. “I don’t mean to be rude, but I really don’t want to—“
“Nonsense—come, let me take your hand and lead you away from—ACK!”

Someone emerged from the crowd, and quickly moved away from it. The new girl.
Hercules’s eyes widened as he got his first good look at her. She had long pale blond hair, and green eyes. The pastel orange chiton she wore was adorned with little yellow flowers.
“HEY! OVER HERE!” screamed Icarus to the girl, waving frantically.
“Icarus! What are you doing!!?” whispered Hercules.
“I’m getting you a hot date!”
“ICARUS!”
“Hi,” said the new girl, stepping up to them.
Hercules’ eyes widened. “H-hi.”
“I’m Mackie,” she said, holding out her hand.
“I’m—I—I’m—my n-name is—Her—Herc—Hercu—He—I—h-hi,” stammered Hercules.
Cassandra rolled her eyes. “He’s Hercules.”
“I’m Icarus,” said Icarus, “And this scrumptious sarcastic seer is my girlfrie—“
“Keep dreaming, Icarus,” snapped Cassandra, and she hit him.
Icarus winced, but the stupid grin on his face didn’t waiver that much, “Oh, Cassy-Wassy…on the outside you scream ‘GET LOST’ but on the inside—“
“On the inside I scream ‘Get lost or I’ll whack you with my sandal,’” said Cassandra, scowling.
Mackie giggled. “You make a cute couple,” she said with a smile.
“Heh, yeah…” said Hercules, not paying much attention. “So…so you’re new here? F-from where?”
“Thebes,” said Mackie.
“Thebes?! THE Thebes? The Big Olive? That Thebes!?” said Hercules, forgetting to be awestruck by her beauty.
Mackie nodded. “That’s the one.”
“WHOA BABY!” cried Icarus, “A city girl! Herc, you lucky dog!”
“Icarus! Shush!”
Mackie giggled again. “I’m not a stereotypical city girl…I’m not, like tough or anything…”
“You made Adonis squeal!” cried Icarus, “What could be tougher then that?”
“What’d you do to him anyway?” said Cassandra.
Mackie blushed. “I slapped him.”
“You go girl!” said Icarus, high-fiving her.
“So, um, Mackie, do you, um, want me to show you around?” stammered Hercules.
“That would be really great. Thank you,” said Mackie, and she walked off with Hercules.
“So….Herc is off with his new girlfriend…and we’re alone…say….give ya any ideas?” said Icarus, nudging Cassandra.
“Don’t go there. I’m serious. Don’t.” said Cassandra, reaching out to push him. Then she froze, and her eyes became all swirly and green. “I see Hercules being chased by a creature outside the Speedy Pita….and the creature is catching up!” She blinked and looked at Icarus. “We’d better go tell them to watch their backs.”
“Oh, don’t worry about it; I think they know already,” said Icarus.
“They do?” said Cassandra, “How?”
Icarus cheerfully pointed in the general direction of the Speedy Pita, where they could see the huge looming shape of a fanged serpent.

Yay! I'm home again! Here's the next part----

“What did I tell ya, boys, told ya she’d get the job done! Eh?” said Hades, smirking, as he watched his monster chase Hercules.
Pain beamed.
“I’m…I’m so proud….deceiving her peers already at such a tender young age…” said Hades, clasping his hands together, pretending to wipe away tears. Then he gave a malicious smirk. “And won’t Zeus’s toga be in a twist over that…”

“AIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEE!” yelled Hercules, running for his life as a giant snake thing chased him. Gods, that thing was fast.
“HERCULES, WATCH OUT!” screamed Mackie as the serpent went in to bite him.
Herc managed to dodge the blow. “Hero rules, hero rules, what are my hero rules….,” he said to himself, “Oh gods…..AHH!” The snake had just missed him, tearing off a corner of his toga.
“Hercules!” called Icarus, “There’s a giant snake behind you!”
“Yeah, I guessed,” Hercules called back, and then dived out of the way again. He crash-landed in a bush. Mackie gasped as the snake went in for the kill.
“Hero rule #21—Giant snakes hate thorns because they don’t have arms to pick them out!” cried Hercules, and he ripped a bush next to him out of the ground, and threw it at the snake. In the air it split apart and showered the snake with thorns.
“You made that up!” accused Cassandra.
The snake roared in fury, and vanished in a poof of grey smoke. Hercules grinned. “But apparently it’s true.” He winced and groaned.
Mackie ran up to Hercules. “Are you ok?”
“Yeah, I’m f-fine….just a few scratches…” he said. And then he passed out.

“Uh-oh…” muttered Pain as they saw the defeat of their snake.
“Hey, hey, no worries, thanks to my secret agent, we can strike at Jerkules again…and again…and again…until CRASH! BANG! BADDA BING! The demi-clod is down for the count!” said Hades, “I have complete faith in her. She learned from (ahem) the best.”
“That must be why she scares me so badly,” whispered Panic to Pain.

The next few weeks were the same—creatures attacked Hercules at least once a day due to Hades’ secret infiltrator giving him reports on what Hercules was doing. Meanwhile, Mackie continued to hang out with Herc and Co., gaining approval from everyone, even Adonis, for being so sweet.
One day, Hercules had just beaten a swarm of fire-breathing birds, and was attempting to sit on a bench, a difficult task with all of his burns.
“Ow.” Hercules winced.
Mackie sat next to him. “Hercules, are you ok?”
“Yeah, yeah, don’t….don’t worry about me, I’m fine. Just a little…OW!” He had hit his (burnt) elbow on the table.
“That’s gotta hurt,” said Icarus, grimacing.
“Why are all of these monsters attacking you?” said Mackie, “Did you do something to make them mad?”
“I have no idea…but…it’s my duty as a hero-in-training to protect the citizens of Athens from these voracious beasts.”
“But you’re getting more beat up each day you fight them!” protested Mackie. She pushed her blonde hair back from her face.
“But I need to protect the people!” whined Hercules.
“Whining isn’t very heroic,” chided Cassandra.
“But—OW! ICARUS!”
“What?” said Icarus.
“You just—ow—crashed into me!”
“Oh. Sorry, Herc. I was reaching for that cool rock over there.” He picked it up, and began to inspect it.
“Ouch…ow…”
“Oh…,” said Mackie, wringing her hands, “Is there anything I can do for you?”
“Not really….unless you have magic healing powers…” said Hercules, managing a grin.
“Sorry, then, I guess I can’t do anything.”
“Heh heh…”
“Are you sure you’re alright? I don’t like seeing you hurt…” said Mackie.
Cassandra shrugged. “It’s all part of the hero job…”
“That’s awful! You poor thing…I feel so bad for you…”
“Come on, Herc, let’s get you home,” said Icarus, “Crazy goat-man will know what to do.” He and Cassandra took him by the arms and started to drag him away.
“Seeya Mackie!” Hercules called.
Mackie waved. “Feel better, Hercules!”

The next part! (and my personal favorite--this and the ending ;D )

Pretty soon they were out of sight, and Mackie was completely alone, only the wreckage of Hercules’ battle to keep her company.
“What was that?” said a voice behind her.
Mackie turned around. “What was what?”
Hades crossed his arms. “‘You poor thing! I feel so bad for you!’” he said, in a high-pitched imitation of her voice, “Gimme a break!”
Mackie stood up and rolled her eyes, all traces of sweetness gone from her voice and face. “I’m staying in character; isn’t that what you wanted?”
“Hey—I don’t need another minion swooning over Jerkules, thank you very much.”
She chuckled dryly. “I’m not your minion—how many times do we have to go through this? But I suppose that’s as close as you can get to compassion….and, anyway, I don’t do the falling for family thing. That’s Zeus’s job.”
Hades flared up. “You’re pushing it, babe.”
“Oh, save it for someone who cares.” Mackie studied her fingernails. “Can ya change me back please? Like, now? I hate being mortal.”
“Whatever.” He waved his hand at her absentmindedly, and she started to glow. When the glow faded….
Her pale blonde hair was a brighter blond, and tied up in nice ponytail.
Her green eyes were purple.
Her skin was pink, and glowing.
And her white chiton was black, much tighter, and covered in skulls.
Mackie felt the top of her head, and then held out her hand. “Tiara.”
Hades sighed, and a black tiara appeared in her hand. Mackie put it on.
“Much better.”
“Alright, Mackie, you good now?”
“Don’t call me by that name. By my name or by my nickname.”
“Your nickname, Macaria, is the same thing as your mortal name,alright? Jeez….” said Hades.
Mackie—er, Macaria, waved her hand. “Pfft, I’m fine with Macaria.”
“So, Macaria, Maci, babe, you good on the plan?”
“I know, I know, you’ve told me a million times,” she said with an eyeroll.
Hades smirked. “Like father, like daughter I suppose.”
“Don’t remind me,” said Macaria, “I’m too much like you.”
“What do you expect? Half of your genes are mine.”
“Uh-huh. Thanks for the reminder, Dad,” said Macaria.

And Cassandra, who had stayed back to finish her fig smoothie and ended up listening to Mackie/Macaria talk to Hades, gasped. “Dad?!??!”
