WHO:
we_schmooze and
blitz_acing.
LOCATION: The Underworld.
TIME: Tonight.
WHAT: It's time to follow up on the deal Tidus previously made with Hades.
RATING: PG-13 at the most.
Maybe doing this right now wasn't the best idea, but Tidus didn't want to waste any time. That, and he was more than a little annoyed with Hades' latest stunt. After everything Hades had done, put him and his friends through, forcing the God to answer the question he had previously meant to ask held a certain appeal. He had the upper hand, and if Hades didn't see it that way it wasn't his problem. This time, Tidus refused to allow Hades to find any loopholes. He'd fight him if he'd have to.
...Again, he thought approaching Hades at this time wasn't the best idea. Hopefully it wouldn't come to fighting. Tidus knew if it did it would be because he was being stupid, but there was no turning back now. He was already there. Hades was in sight. He came to a stop, voice quieter than usual.
"So, our deal."

"So, our deal."

“Right the deal…” Hades stood up from the throne he had been sitting on just so he could glide past Tidus as he spoke, “What you specifically can do to bring Spira back from the Darkness.”
Leaning over to sneer at Tidus, “Nothing.”
With that he spun around and made his way over to the strategy table that always sat in the middle of the room. True, turning your back on some one after telling them a thing like that might not have been the wisest move, but he wasn’t exactly done speaking yet either.
“See, it’s like this,” He began again once he was behind the table and facing the boy once again. “You have a lot of powers and abilities that on Spira were very helpful to you.”
A wave of his hand over the table and a tiny Tidus appeared fighting some of the familiar monsters that he surely would recognize from his home world.
“You kill one of these monsters and it is gone for good.”
Another wave of his hand and the monsters transformed into Heartless.
“But here, kill as many of the Heartless as you want and they will always come back.”
Sure enough, no matter how many tiny heartless mini Tidus killed they always came back. They were never ending.
“So, other than cheer leading and beating back the Heartless when ever they attack there is nothing you specifically can do to restore your world…”
Added a moment later with a wicked smile, “At least as it stands now… what you would need is a keyblade.”

The ex-guardian's expression hardened to stone. He wanted to argue, to reject Hades' words, and to punch the infuriatin sneer off his face. Before he could, Hades had spun around and continued talking.
Compelled to see what was going on at the strategy table, he moved closer to it. He watched as the small version of himself fought the monsters, and then the Heartless. He didn't want to think that Hades was right. That he was powerless, and all his hard work on Spira had amounted to nothing. That everything he had done for Hades had been pointless. Hades had to be lying. The retort was on the tip of his tongue, but what he said next stopped Tidus. He put his hands on the table, hopeful again. "Then I'll get a keyblade."
no subject
Really, the things he could do with a keyblade! The possibilities were endless! But, unfortunately those weapons just were not that easy to come by.
“Its not like you can just go out to the store and pick one up. These are magic items that only work for the person whose heart they connect with.”
Even stealing them was out… not that Tidus would really be the kind willing to do something like that.
“Some how you would have to find the Keyblade Graveyard and convince one of those weapons you were worthy enough to use it.”
no subject
The whole concept sounded funny to Tidus and he wasn't sure if he'd trust it no matter who said it. He had to try. What other choice did he have?
"Then I'll go to the Keyblade Graveyard and make one connect with me." It sounded so simple, but there was one issue. "Where's the Keyblade Graveyard?"
no subject
All very true, Hades had never met a keyblade user who was particularly forthcoming about keyblades. In fact they could be downright annoying about it.
“If you wanted to find the keyblade graveyard you would need to find a keyblade user open enough to tell you all about it. Maybe even take you there...”

Oh right, this tabletop illusion is still playing. Hades takes a moment to dissolve the scene. Bye, bye chibi Tidus. The whole event is nothing but a puff of black smoke that rises and dissipates in the chill Underworld air.
no subject
Impatient, Tidus slams both hands on the empty tabletop. He has to refrain from wincing due to his injury.
no subject
“Look kid, even if I told you who they were, its not like they would just tell you all about the keyblades and lead you merrily into the keyblade graveyard.”

Hades shrugs with an exaggeratedly animated motion, “Oh why not. I mean you did nearly get yourself killed during that whole letter delivery thing… Just remember they are not likely to be friendly about any of this.”
Again an image appears on the table a young boy a bit shorter than Tidus and with him two companions a duck and a dog.
“Now this one probably doesn’t know anything. You would need to get this kind of information from a keyblade master.”
The image changes, a girl with blue hair, and a few other people Tidus may or may not recognize.
“And hey… there is no need to mention who you heard about this from. They won‘t be happy about this.”
no subject
He recognizes the girl too, but he's still shocked. Shocked they've been hiding this, shocked they had the power to restore the worlds, yet nothing has happened.
"Why...would they? Why would they hide that?"
no subject
Hades watches the little scene play out on the table too but pays extra attention to how Tidus reacts to it. Why would they hide that indeed? Maybe to keep guys like Hades from finding these things out? If that was the case it really wasn’t working out… and besides, that isn’t the answer Hades gives.
“Keyblade welders are pretty pretentious. They think just because they were chosen to use a keyblade that means they can tell everyone else what to do. And worse! They actually look down on people who don’t have keyblades! If they didn’t why not just tell everyone so you could all band together and fight the darkness together like you hero-types always claim to do?”
The images end as Hades waves them away again.
“They just don’t want to share and they don’t trust you non-keyblade welders enough to tell you even half of what they know. If you ask about the keybalde graveyard don’t be surprised if they won’t answer. They want to keep you world-less people in the dark about everything that is happening.”
no subject
"So they've been leading all of us on all this time. Acting like we can't do anything. Is that what you're saying?" He glances at Hades, unaware he was trembling a little in anger. He knows better. Hades' intentions are hardly good. Even so, that doesn't mean he's lying. In fact, so far, he's been the one who seems like he's lied the least. It almost makes the ex-guardian want to scoff and roll his eyes. "I'll make them answer!"
no subject
Surprisingly Hades was being truthful. Sure the truth was colored a bit by his own perceptions, making the keyblade welders seem more evil than they probably intended to be, but that was just because it was the way Hades saw it not because he was lying about anything.
As Tidus exclaimed he would make them answer Hades couldn’t help disappearing from behind the table to reappear a moment later standing between Tidus and the exit to the Underworld.
“Whoa, hey, what are you going to do? Go and beat the information out of them?” With a smile and a vial of liquid appears in Hade’s hand. “Why not use this instead? Just slip this into some food or a drink and, bada bing bada boom, instant answers! Whoever you give this to will tell you the truth about anything they know.”

Hades floats over to place the vial in Tidus’s hands.
“Much less messy than what you were suggesting.”
