Hayden James's Story

Hayden woke up and instantly groaned as his hell hound stood over him, drool leaking from the corners of his mouth.

"ya i know you stupid mutt tell Hades i'm up" Hayden growled and the hell hound whimpered and rushed out of his room. Hayden sat up and stretched his long muscular body, his back cracking and he sighing in satisfaction. He got up off his bed and looked around the room. It hasn't changed in the past 17 years. Black marbles floor, deep red walls, large glass window showing the scenery of hell. I ran a hand threw his ink black hair and popped his demon blue eyes, he went to his closet and grabbed a black dress shirt, grey tie and black jeans and quickly threw them on. He grabbed his belt and clipped in on the put his sword into the hilt. Finally finishing off by putting on some black steel toed combat boots he left his room in search for Hades.
He found him in the living room looking at the fire place which held screaming souls.

"Hades" Hayden's deep voice rang threw the room and Hades looked at him
"My son you look very nice where are you going" Hades smiled evilly already knowing where Hayden was going.

"Why dear father i do remember i have a dinner party to crash see you later, oh and if you see Medusa's element tell her to meet me at Olympus" Hayden grinned and whistled calling one of the hell hounds. He hopped on it back and ordered it to go and they ran out of hell and into the world.

"Mmm...nope. I do not remember ever seeing you before."

A soft bell like voice said, the owner of it looking down at the human man on the ground, bowing in front of her with a pleading face. Humans were so pathetic, it was amusing though of course. They easily fell in love and clung to the first beautiful sight they lay eyes on. Medusa had told her the same thing of course, her Goddess was clever and wonderous. She looked over the mans head to look around the human club she was in; Of course her human form was up. She had men and women falling at her feet constantly but they were really all just toys to her.

"B-but Jeliina-! You said you loved me and--!"

"Still nothing. Please excuse me, I have no time to speak to strange men." She said swiftly as she stood up to leave. The man desperately grabbed her leg, still trying to plead with her. She frowned in annoyance, a small growl coming from her lips. She lifted her other leg, her foot adorned with her blood red high heels, as she sharply kicked him in his side; successfully getting him to let go of her, painfully groaning. Touching her without permission was quite a big no, no to her. She walked away with a sway of her hips, her heels clicking on the marble floor as she made her way outside of the club. She had enough of this place already, how dull.

"Jeliina.." She looked down at her feet and smiled at her snake. She kneeled down, letting the snake slither up her arm to rest around her neck. He was a faithful servant that she held great respect for. Medusa had given him to her at a rather young age.

"What is it Jeranee?" The snakes crystal blue eyes looked upon her as his tounge flickered out to swipe across her cheek in a friendly manner.

"Hayden isssss looking for you." He said, his voice dripping with venom; quite literally. He felt no need to like Hayden and treat him with respect. The snake disliked how much he was around his master, Jeliina. Jeliina smirked and nodded in understanding as she walked towards a desserted alleyway to go into her succubus form. She quickly flew up and patted her snakes head.

"Where does he wish to meet?"

"Mount...Olympussss...."

"Oh yes..." She said, her smirk growing a bit more. "We had a dinner to drop into. This shall be fun." She quickly let her snake search for Haydens location. Once she spotted him on his Hell Hound she went back to her normal form and plopped down right behind him, her arms snaking around him so she wouldn't fall off. Her snake narrowed it's eyes on him and opted for coiling around her waist. Her eyes gleamed gold in excitment of what was about to transpire. She just loved causing mayhem and chaos. It was like an exciting game of chess. She still had on her short club dress that showed off her back which held her dragon tattoo.

"Hello Hayden, I do hope you are up to this." She said as she rested her chin on his shoulder lazily. She always liked to tease him about his strength, since he was fun to tick off.

"i would ask you the same question my dear Jeli, you seem to like to stay out most night's" Hayden looked back at the girl who was resting her head on his shoulder.
"Remember we are only there to scare the new elements and kill the gods Hades had listed for us, that and have a little fun destroying the temple" Hayden grinned evilly and winked at Jeli. Her snake glared at him but he just ignored it as they neared Olympus.
Hayden reached for his sword and unsheathed it.
"I call upon my element of Darkness release my shadows" Hayden's deep voice commanded as large shadows expanded around them, covering the once green fields pitch black. The sound of tortured screaming souls filled his ears and Hayden laughed.
"Got to love screams of horror in the morning" he growled darkly and his Hell hound howled and ran at speeds unimaginable.

"I was just having a little fun with the humans is all Hayden~. Also how many times must I inform you to call me Kiki or Lina." She shot right back at him. Only Medusa called her Jeli and the humans who fell at her feet. She leaned in forward more to hear what he was saying. Only kill the Gods he had listed? Where was the fun in that? Why not just destory everyone and everything there? Then again she was always up for a nice long hunt.

"We can not even harm the Elements? Boring..." She sighed, brushing her hair over her shoulder so it wouldn't get in her face. Though destorying the temple sounded like a glorious idea. She felt the need to destroy something anyways. It was...in her diet. As he called upon his shadows she snapped her fingers and went into her warrior form, grasping her bow 'n arrow tightly in her right hand. He snake prepared itself to shape-shift into it's large albino wolf for for Jelina to hop onto.

"Indeed. But i'd much rather have a side of blood to complete the morning. Try and keep up." She said, smirking before she teasingly pecked his cheek and jumped off the Hell Hound, her snake quickly forming into the wolf. She went at the same speed along side Hayden and looked ahead of her, immediatly spotting three figures upon the hill.

"Sssssmellsss like Fire, Lightning and Ice." Her snake, now wolf, informed them.

"Well, let's get this show on the road shall we?" She raised her hand and quickly summoning her giant snake. Might as well give the temple a small knock.~

"Interesting the daughter of Zeus..... she looks very weak and fragile dont you agree Kiki? yet she have the power to conjure up such a storm" Hayden grinned evilly as he watched the white haired girl. Her blood red eyes capivated him for a moment but he shook it off and snapped his finger, easily turning into his warrior form. He hopped off his Hell hound and put his sword on his shoulder then casual started walking towards the main entrance.

"Kiki dont hurt the lightning brat to much, she could be very useful to Hades in the future" Hayden dark deep voice held no emotion as he walked into the building.

"See you inside Kiki" Hayden growled and winked at Kiki. Smirking he went to go find the Gods he was assigned to kill.

'i'm coming for you Iris'

Iris studied the boy carefully. She met his eyes with not fear, but strength, even in this situation where she knew her powers were weak she was not afraid, only intrigued by the boy.
"I've found you Iris," he said in a dark voice that was intended to frighten her but she only smiled. Her life was too bright, too colorful to let his dark intentions through her soul and yet, some kind of heavy weight pressed against her shoulders and she knew that she would not win. She was too old now, and he too young...darkness was always a weakness of color, something Adaire would have to look out for.

"Zeus you should leave," she looked at her old friend with sad eyes, but smiled. "Go to Dawn, I will handle this"

Iris knew that if it were her last stand she would put all of her power and effort into it, fighting until the very end, and hoped that without her being in person Adaire would be okay.

And then suddenly, out of nowhere, "Iris watch out!". Iris looked and saw the beautiful Chione, shivers being sent up Iris' spine from her shout, now worried in case they were in danger as well. "Chione go! You must protect the elements, I will be fine!", thankful that her old friend was concerned, but the elements needed as much protection as they could get.
Iris was sure Adaire would learn quickly without her, and if by chance Iris survived (though doubtful) there would be no problem but...Ada had enough talent, she could sense it already. It would be okay, and that thought gave her confidence.

She turned to Hayden, watching his every move and began to sink into the wall, not waiting to see what her friends would do. "Why are you doing this? What do you have to gain? The elements will continue on, even without us, you do realize that don't you?"

" i dont know what i gain my dear all i have is orders and a list, a list of gods i am suppose to exterminate....now then lets make this quick and painful shall we" Hayden lunged forward and speeds the Goddess could no longer compete with. He used his shadows and flashed behind the Goddess and before she could think of something to do he stabbed Iris in the middle of her back, the long sword poking out the other side of her body. Hayden grinned evilly as he saw he once colorful body darken and fade into hues of gray.

"Gray suits you Iris" Hayden growled into her ear and twisted the sword then removed it and leaped back several feet.

It was too late, before Iris could even make a move the dark child crept up behind her and she felt a striking pain through her back and out the front of her body.

Her colors began to fade, her hands turned into an ugly shade of grey, for a minute she felt distressed...scared, almost, but his last words made her laugh out loud. A piercing, cheerful laugh, as if he told a funny joke. He twisted the sword out of her body which made her cough and wince in pain. Her body was collapsing, pain rushed through it daring her to kneel, but she turned slowly to look at the boy.

Iris' eyes were still the same, colorful iris' that gave her the name that she owned. Her body's color was almost diminished but her eyes shone out like star light. A last hope. A last goodbye.

"My blood is still red, kid." she smiled and fell. And then something amazing happened, her last attack. Bright, blinding colors broke from her eyes, giant pops and bangs echoed around, beautiful colors that blinded anyone who saw them reached up to the sky and shined like the sun. It was incredible and somewhat melancholy. Despite the dark sky, the storm clouds, a gorgeous full rainbow, unnatural it seemed, lit up the sky, giving hope and confidence. Iris' last fair well.

*

Adaire looked up at the sudden noise, the sound like awfully loud fireworks. Bright colors lit up the building and the sky, making her shield her eyes from the sight. It passed not long after and she opened her eyes to a large rainbow in the sky, beautiful against the dark clouds.
Her heart pounded towards it, something pulled her in. She was out on a balcony not long after, staring up at the sky and hope filled her. But there was something else...ah yes, there was something missing, as if someone had cut a small chunk of her heart and threw it away. She could not find it and it made her sad. From that, Adaire knew that something was wrong and turned away to run somewhere, anywhere, where was her Goddess? She shouted her name once but a feeling of loss and paranoia swept over her and her tripped. It was wrong, something was wrong, she was not right. Why? The feeling lasted a long time and she pressed her hand against the wall to help herself up. She had to find someone, anyone.

"Very fragile indeed..." She muttered, glancing over at the white haired girl. Seems like her neck was very snapable at the moment. She hopped off her wolf and gave the kids outside an evil grin. This was going to be very fun. She streched nonchalantly as if she was about to nap before she started walking towards them in long strides. She already didn't like the lightening girl at all. Important to Hades? Psht.

"Yea, yea. See you inside Hayden. Don't get yourself killed either, or else i'll have no one to tease." She said as she came to a stop a bit away from the Zeus girl. Jeliina quickly raised her hand again as she looked the Zeus girl directly in the eye.

"I call upon the powers of Whichcraft!" She said as she went into her semi-ultra form, her hair morphing first as she smirked at them. "Wanna play?" She said as she snapped her fingers and her snake lunged forward at the white haired girl. She wanted to make this quick. And simple. Nothing too messy...perhaps. Afterwards, she'd go afer Posiden. Fun, fun. Hayden better leave her with a God to kill or else. She looked at the two twins and her smirk grew wider.

"I'll have fun killing off your God.~ Medusa doesn't seem to like him much anyways..." She said sighing as she crossed arms.

She pouted and the boy and crossed her arms under her chest. "Now, now. No need to go hurting my pets, they just wanted to play." She said, mocking a sad expression as her eyes flashed gold, the snake getting back up immediately. This boy wanted to play with Fire? Well then, let's dance. She raised her arms as her arrow flashed and shifted into her sword, she went into her ultra form and narrowed her eyes.

"Wanna dance boy? Well let's start shall we?" She flashed behind him quickly and giggled in his ear. "After I eliminate the trash called Posiden of course." She stated, dragging her nails down his back before disappearing into the temple. Let's see, where is he? She slipped past Hayden's fight and noticed the group of Gods standing behind them, ready to attack.

Heath turned his head so he did not have to face the pink haired girl. He knew, she was Iris' element. It was blatantly obvious when he saw her. He felt responsible for the all the deaths of the gods and goddesses. A drop of tear fell down Heath's face and onto the tip of his metal sword, which evaporated the droplet right on contact. He began to tremble.
"I'm sorry," were the only words that Heath could mutter. Heath could not look at the girl. He only looked forward. There was an air of silence, but it soon broke under a scream. It was the white haired girl's scream. She had opened the door to where the menacing figure stood. Heath quickly got up with sword in hand. He put the white haired girl behind her.
"Stay back" he said to her. As he eyed the room he saw a grey, colorless figure laying down in the room. It was Iris, dead and cold. He closed his eyes. He had come too late. Quickly, Heath's sorrow turned to anger.
"So you did it..." Heath said, quietly. He pointed the flaming sword at the dark figure, and his hound. "I will not forgive you!"

Jeliina demolished the section on the temple she had fought Poseidon in, burying her handy work. She walked out of the dust and rubble, spinning her sword as if she was taking a walk in a park.

"That wasn't much of a challenge." She said boredly, yawning to herself as she walked up next to Hayden. She leaned on his shoulder, throwing her sword up. It quickly dissipated as she looked around at the destruction they had caused. The elements were in chaos, confused and angry. Perfect. She flashed out of her ultra form, going back to her normal form. She brushed her hair over her shoulder as she gave the elements a pointed look.

"I'm kinda sad that we missed breakfast, Hayden." She said, licking her lips. "I'm starving." Her snake morphed back into its snake form, slithering up her leg to rest around her shoulders. She directed her gaze upon the fire element boy and smiled at him. The look of hatred on his face was just delicious.

"Mmm, Hayden I didn't have enough fun. I can take care of this boy if you wish..?"

Olive was having a rather intellectual discussion with Athena, who now sat at Heath's emptied seat, when dark shadows stretched across the room. The didn't seem like normal shadows. They were too sinister to her and Athena shared this thought by the look in her face. Olive knew then that something big was going to happen. She always got that feeling, that rush of adrenaline whenever she anticipated something. She didn't feel very scared, in fact, she felt rather powerful. She had a sudden thought and looked to Athena for approval. Athena nodded her head and smiled as if it was the best thing Olive could have done.

Olive jumped from her seat at the table and rushed to her room. Her the shadows were ever darker and stretching longer than any natural shadow should have been capable of. She looked to her left and spotted just what she was looking for. She plucked the paperweight from her nightstand and grabbed the spear from her bed were it lay and exited her room.

Screams could already be heard down the long hallway and she saw Athena rush towards her. "It is the dark ones, the elements of Hades and Medusa. " Athena was ruffled but yet calm and her calm nature made alive more calm and composed. Olive took a deep breath and let it out. Everything will be fine, you remember everything Daddy taught you about fighting. They might have powers, but so do you. What better way to learn but in practical use. She thought to herself with eyes closed. As her train of thought ended, she snapped her eyes open and gave Athena a nod to signal she was ready for this.

She and Athena both made their way to the last place that the screams could be heard. As the ran, something unusual happened. A bright rainbow burst from the temple. Athena gave a grim face and whispered "Iris...I know where to go now, follow me." It wasn't long before they made it to a doorway and they could see many others gathered there. Heath, the white-haired girl and the blue-haired girl from breakfast were all there along with a new pink-haired girl that seemed wounded.

Athena turned to them all " You all be safe so long as you are in a group. I must go and check on the others." to Olive she turned and spoke "You will be fine, child. Use the gift I have given you to your utmost advantage. and with that, she was gone. It was then that a rumble was heard and the temple shook violently.

Olive turned to the doorway and it swung open. A rather sinister looking boy was there and behind him a gray figure could be seen. Heath stepped right up to the boy, sword in hand. It was at this time a young woman came forward. She was obviously Medusa's element and though Olive heard many stories of the Goddess, she held no fear for her subordinate. The girl spoke of taking on the boy and Olive spoke up finally to this newcomer. "Why not take me on instead?" She readied her spear against her.

"No we may not kill them...yet. We have done what we came to do i have killed Artemis, Hermes and Iris and you killed Poseidon that is all we were sent to do" Hayden's deep voice spoke proudly. He watched as the fire boy stood in front of the white haired girl her red eyes peeking over his shoulder.
Hayden leaned down a whispered into Kiki's ear.
"i want you to put some tracker poison into Zeus's daughter, like i have said before she could be very useful in the future. Get your snake to bite her" Hayden growled into Kiki's ear then summoned his hell hound. It jumped from the shadows and snapped at the fire boy, guarding Hayden and Kiki.

"I am Hayden James, element of Hades and future ruler of the underworld, this is my beautiful yet deadly companion Jeliina element of Medusa. We have been sent to strike fear into your hearts before we kill you, but that will be later when you can actually put up a fight. Some of you will die but my Master Hades is 'interested' in some of you" Hayden grinned evilly and snapped his fingers changing into his normal form. He eyed the white haired girl and grinned evilly, showing off deadly long white canines. Hades wanted them to collect the daughter of Zeus and the son of the fire god.

"Boy, we will not fight today but i will make sure you have the fight of your life when we do" Hayden glared down at the boy. Even though they looked the same age Hayden's boy was taller and more build then fire boy's. Hayden looked to the daughter of Athena when she said they should take her on. Her body stature and attitude bored Hayden and he just yawned in response to her challenge. He leaned down to Kiki again and whispered to her

"make it fast i'm bored of this game" he spoke darkly and put a long muscular arm around Kiki's waist and grinned at the group as he waited.

Luna looked at Hayden, her eyes glazing over to a cold blue. Her face seemed enraged by the words that spoke out of his mouth. Him and the girl both. Stepping up a it, Demka her ice hound let a low growl emerge from deep in his throat. "You're just nothing but Darkness's pawn. A puppet." She spat at the two, feeling a sudden pinch of regret at her words. But her anger and cold stature seemed to take over her. What really did she have to lose at this point, she didn't remember her past so what would matter.

Luna took a step back now, moving to stand beside Adaire. Putting a cool hand on her shoulder, she said lowly to the girl in a cool whisper "I'm sorry about Idris." Luna wouldn't even begin to image what would happened if Chione had been one that was killed, she wouldn't dare imagine the beautiful almost crystal woman's blue light run out.

Blue light. Luna though for a moment. Why does that stick out to me. And if almost as a cool aura appeared around her, she realized. Looking down she had a sling around her, behind her back her sword of ice. How had she forgotten what weapon Chione had gave her not long ago. But she refused to take it out, but kept a cool stare umong the group.

Jeliina grinned and raised an eyebrow at his request. What would the white haired girl be to them, that they did not already have? Well...since he introduced her so wonderfully she could do him this favor. She snapped her fingers, Jeranee glaring at Hayden before quickly disappearing, shrinking in size quickly. Her bright golden eyes followed his movements discreetly. She knew that he wasn't a big fan of Hayden, but he had better do this right.

"Alright, but you owe me one later~ You know it takes a bit of energy for Jeranee to produce such a toxin." She said as she snapped her gaze away from her snake. "Plus I didn't get to have much fun. You got to kill most of them." She pouted and crossed her arms, looking up at him. She looked at Athena's element in a mocking way, looking at her as if she was a speck.

"Mmm, I grow bored of this game too. Being threated by pests isn't exactly exciting enough for me." She grinned, completely ignoring the ice girl. Her snake quickly finished up the job given to him, quickly sinking his fangs into the lightening elements leg, pumping in a bit of poison to cause her pain later on. The poison wouldn't hurt her right away so she wouldn't expect a thing now. The snake then quickly retreated, appearing around Kikis shoulders again.

"It was fun, but now we must say good-bye. See you around.~" She said as she blew a kiss at then before sliding her arms around Hayden's neck; making them dissipate in a cloud of shadows back to Hell. She of course left a little gift. She had summoned three giant snakes, which started taking down each sections of the temple.

Terra Alkaine

he frowned a bit at the fact that Heath was ordering him around but quickly change his way of thought as Dawn began to get teary eyed "hey dont worry lil' lightnin we'll be alright just get everyone to safety"giving her an encourageing smile before his face turned serious again as he faced the other two his back against Heath and Olive. "stalling it is i think i can help with that"smirking a little Terra then dropped to one knee slamming his hands on to the ground making it rumble a little as rock walls erupted from the ground, blocking any chance of these killers to run after Dawn and the others or for anyone to get. standing back up Terra raised his fists ready to fight "well no one's going in and no one is coming out" he spoke bluntly. moving out the way as the hellhound pounced on Heath who now radiated heat. 'he should be alright but i should help him' he thought to himself 'i wonder if hellhounds burn?' but curiousity got the better of him as he landed a punch on the hounds jaw knocking it back, but it resulted in Terra bring his fist back shaking it "shit damn that hurt"he laughed at himself.

Hayden growled in annoyance as he, Medusa, Jeliian and he gathered in Hades court room. This is were Hades decides which soul goes where, heaven or hell. Soon that will be Hayden's job...ruling the underworld. Hayden wasnt ready for that kind of responsibility he liked being care free but Hayden knew he was ready whenever Hades stepped down.
"I have gathered us all here because of the plan me and my son have decided on, as you all know Hayden was successful at killing the element of Artemis before he ever arrived at Olympus and killed Artemis when you invaded the temple. Now since the element of Artemis was male we have decided that Hayden will pretend to be the element and go undercover as one of the good godly elements. Now i know you probaly have something to say about this Medusa because thats all you really do in complain" Hades growled then continued " Hayden is the son of me Hades and Nyx the goddess of Night he is powerful and my heir. He is well bred and born for power and he is the perfect person to do this deed. Jeliian will be assisting from the shadows" Hades commanded and looked down at Medusa "any arguements and i shall have your head snake witch" Hades snarled. He never liked Medusa because she never learnt her place here, he was King and she his subject of evil. He looked down at Hayden
"Hayden go speak with your grandfather Cronus, he will help you take the shape of the disgusting element of Artemis" Hades commanded and Hayden bowed then left to speak with Cronus.
Hades watched as Hayden left then turned back to Medusa and her element "What are your complaints Medusa?" he growled and sat in his throne waiting for her to answer.

Hayden.....I mean Hunter couldnt help but laugh viciously at the scene. Zeus's daughter the beautiful little innocent white haired gal lay under the element of earth. Memories of what his grandfather Cronus said before he left echoed in his mind.

"Boy you need to get Zeus's daughter to fall in love with you, once you have you can destroy her and the other elements will soon follow her. They cant help but feel attached to her because she is the element of Zeus meaning she is their future ruler, destroy her and the rest will soon follow" Cronus croaked as he finished up Hayden's new form. He grinning evilly in the mirror, inspecting his new form. Blonde hair and golden green eyes......perfect it looks actually like the child before Hayden killed him.

"Thanks gramps i'll remember that" Hayden said as he left to pack.

"Fuck well that boy is going to be a problem if i want to make her love me" Hunter snarled. He left his place leaning on the wall and walked towards them. Once behind them he grabbed the boys collar and flung him off the white haired girl, throwing the boy into the wall.
"Dont you know its not polite to pin such a pretty little lady to the ground, like look at you compared to you she looks like a child" Hunter snarled at the boy who he just remembered was named Terra and the girl.....she's Dawn. Wrapping an arm around Dawn's petite waist Hunter lifted her over his shoulder. She yelped and he grinned not minding the view.
"Well Zeus is having a meeting in the center of the field so you better hurry dirt boy or we are going to be late" Hunter snarled and walked out of the room, Dawn kicking and shouting at him to let her go.
"Not a chance sweet heart" he growled and slapped her ass making her stop.

"Let go of me....Terra!" Dawn screamed, kicking and flailing her limps in every direction. She stopped though when the boy slapped her butt making her yelp in surprise. She blushed deep red.
'who is this boy?' she thought. No name popped into her head like it normally did and that made her confused.
He was even taller then Terra, with blonde hair. Dawn already didnt like him.

"Put me down i have to make sure my friend is ok, or do you not remember throwing him into a WALL!" she screamed and he just shrugged his shoulders, not saying a word. She looked back at the door way which was getting further away from them and waited for Terra to follow them. Dawn hoped Terra was ok.

She struggled again but it was no use, she wasnt strong enough to fight his powerful grip.
"I already dont like you" she growled
