But I don't like to destroy or hurt things....I'm always afraid I'll like it.

Well you yourself don't have to be a part of the team... I just need a team.

*appears* greetings Hephaestus. From what father told me, you were one of the few originally granted reality with Faust.

And you are the child of Null and Faust... what a handsome young man you are.

Why thank you. I must say things are a bit too serene at mother's side, so I will be one of your combatants.

Thank you child... I shall gain a side to oppose your team as well... so gather your legion of four and I will bring forth warriors to fight you. Good luck child.

*Quantos, Zed and Necrospine teleport out and appear in Tartarus

*approaches* hello everyone! Is there anything going on that I can help with?

Well... the god of the forge Hephaestus has challenged us to a competition to gain his approval

Oh! may I assist?

Well he says we need a team of four.

Good...I think I've sat on the sidelines long enough....

If Ra is fighting. Than so Is Pyrhon.

very well we need another

What about Necronius?

anyone will work. It's time to show this pompous fool true power!

Hmmm.... a fool huh? Ill remember that when Im choosing who to side with....

*Walks out laughing to himself*

*appears infront of him* What business do you have listening to our consersation? We are no longer in your realm!

Well I am sorry... Ive just been looking for the right warriors to compete against you. Forgive me for my intrusion.

*Steps around Quantos and continues out*

*teleports again* I may have spoken harshly, yes, I apologize for that. I was merely trying to express that your claims of power have no impression upon me. I know you are a god of the order. Why hold this contest in the first place? It seems a divergent use of valuable time and manpower. Surely the prince of all that is and isn't is worthy of your aid.

I like contests...

*Hephaestus walks around him again*

Now if you don't mind... desperate housemares is on in a few minutes.

Sure thing...what do you need?

Well the fact is that Ive lost contact with Darky in the Celestial tower. I tried to head up there... but the bridge to their world is gone. And I think it might have to do with the Contract. Im just wondering if I could borrow your portal making powers.

Sure thing!Can I come too?

I guess... but don't try anything.

Okay....I'm not gonna touch anything, I learned that lesson from the whole set ordeal.

Alright.... try to open a portal to the celestial tower. I need to know that they are okay.

Alrighty!

*Zed and Necrospine try to step through the portal but are tossed backwards*


What the hell?

Don't look at me I made the portal....

Im not blaming you. Its not your fault. Somepony blocked us out.

I could try to make a portal through time AND space, but I don't quite have it down yet, and I can't promise where we'll end up.

I don't want to take that risk.... We need to call the guy who made the bridge in the first place. Hephaestus.... But hes not the easiest to get the approval of.

Well, how do we find this guy?

In that case....*opens portal* after you.

Thanks... Im not so sure about whats in this place though... the only one who ever goes here is Eternia.

well, it will be an adventure then!

Hmmmm.... lets see what we have here.... Necrospine... one who went crazy and attempted to seize the throne of Tartarus.... and Zed.... who under the pressure of the worlds problems became a psychopath.... those are the last people Id trust my power to.

Give me a break! I'm just a kid! And Necrospine was just a little confused!
