The Road to Hell
It took Argo, Andy, and Corey no time at all to make their way to the cemetery where he had met with Pluto.  The Lord of Hades had been true to his word as well, for as soon as they crossed through the gates, a great hole opened up in the ground, flames spewing out of it for a moment, before those subsided.  When the flames had cleared, they could see stairs leading deep into the "earth."

Ancient runes were carved into those steps, in some language none of the three would be able to read.  Roughly translated, however, they said things such as "I meant to do it this week," "I was only trying to help," and "I'm going to make a New Years resolution..."

Argo looked down those steps and thought of the woman he loved.  Harmony came easily to mind and he felt his blood boil.  Mephisto would learn that the Son of Hercules was not to be trifled with.  He would free her even if he had to bring all of Hell down upon their heads.

"Shall we?" he asked his companions.

Argo had somehow assumed it would be easier. He was an uncomplicated god that way, assuming there were direct answers to all questions.

Fortunately, his brother is smarter than he is. Andy has always been the more clever of the two and Argo is quite appreciative of it.

He reached out and grabbed a demon by the scruff of its neck. It kicked and swung its claws menacingly, but Argo was holding him at arm's length, and his arms were longer than the demon's.

"Tell me, demon," he growled, "how would you like to be the ones to bring us before your master?"

Cue a confused demon.

"You... you're surrendering?"

"It's more like we want to talk to the guy in charge because we don't have anything to say to the hired help. But if you can tell Mephisto you just brought him three possible souls after your buddies tried to tear us to pieces, it might get you a promotion." Andy says.

Corey tried to mostly be unobtrusive. The gods were running game here.

But he can't help but add, "Which sure beats getting your teeth kicked in by these guys, huh?"

Argo was quite clever when it came to seducing women and could even be counted on, now and then, to come up with a clever battle strategy, but it had always been clear to him that his brother was smarter than he.

Now, more than ever, was he grateful for that.

"What say you, creature?"

The demon appeared to consider this offer, weighing the potential for advancement and its own skin.

"I... can do that."

"Good. Now take us to Mephisto." Andy commands.

Corey will follow wherever they end up going, of course.
