[Blackheart, Lucifer, & Hades Only]
Sitting on the throne, was none other than Hades, atleast in a new appearance. He seemed to be in deep thought, eyes closed of course, but then again he could be sleeping. Renovations were going nicely and it gave him time to rest his eyes, might be odd to sleep a little in a chair but he found it somehow comfortable despite the throne being made of stone and rock. It was just a cool feeling to his unbearably warm body, one of the bad things about his elemental host--the god soul must have triggered the immense body heat it could produce due to it's element.
A difficult thing to control, but he'll live with it... But then perhaps it was also the cause of one little thing that happened to him not too long ago, and his developing paranoia for it. His mind could not help but trace to what two of his right-hand minions was guarding for him as other minions continued the renovation. The most of his concerns is, a lover, and if he should discuss about it with the other hell-lords.
And then, his mind trailed to Blackheart; The one he sought to be special to him at one point, maybe it was a childish infatuation back then... and perhaps now even. He began to wonder if the demonic lord would remember, for it has been so long. Hades already knew Lucifer would still know this infatuation, afterall the fallen angel was the master of deceit... And had a few times made the greek god feel guilty of himself, physically and mentally.
Hades opened his eyes a little, thinking and wondering deeply of how Blackheart was doing... Perhaps visiting the dark deity would be a good idea; catch up after so long of being absent. He gave a groan as he got up, growling at himself for being so naive as he walked down the hall, a small trail of smoke following him.
He felt foolish, to still have these emotions, and the host was picking up on it and feeling the same emotions--causing the heart to ache. How he despised that familiar ache, he needed to forget it and not think about the only other hell god he tolerated the most. Eyes lifted alittle as he approached an odd-looking reptile nest made of dirt and sand. Remembering the day he made that, it was of the instinct of his host.... He knew his host was technically a hermaphrodite, but he did not imagine the needs the body would have--the needs that would grow enough for the body to produce whatever to suit such need.
It was weird, but then he grew used to it... For he figured it might happen again at some point, unless he bred of course, but it wasn't much to be concerned about. He ran a hand over the nest, touching the surface of something soft and beige colored... It was also spotted of course. Hades sighed some, moving his hand away as he realized that the instincts were taking over again, and headed back to his throne. Leaving the two imps to stand guard of the nest.
As he sat, he thought that maybe it was best to keep it to himself for now, until he finds a better reason to reveal it.

A ripple formed in the stone ground before Hades' throne, almost seeming as though the very earth was taking on the properties of ink. Quickly rising through this patch of distorted earth rose what would be the familiar form of Blackheart, large red eyes staring straight ahead and arms folded with his long tail curled around his legs and coming to rest on the ground as the entirety of his body was above the ground.
"Hades.. A moment, if you would?" he inquired,with a small tilt of his head.
"Yes, we have a proposition that you should simply be interested in." Lucifer's voice could be heard before the smoke materialized and formed his humanoid body.
It was no surprise that he would have appeared as quickly, though for the sake of having Hades agree, the demon was hoping he would have been alone for this up until he was to return to his realm. "So you were not lying when you stated he was different, Lucifer.." he breifly turned his attention to the ethereal form before glancing back toward Hades, "..That matters not, you are still the same Hell-Lord despite the difference in skin."

Hades was a little surprised that Blackheart entered, guess solves his problem on seeing how the other was doing. He would've been happy if Lucifer had not appeared, this must be something going on, "Hmm... Proposition?" He spoke as he sat down on his throne, red eyes narrowed.
"Lucifer... would you give us a moment... I believe Blackheart would wish to tell me himself... yes?" The Greek lord indicated to the black being... Plus he did not feel like bothering with Lucifer at this moment, for the lustrous lord already irritates him enough just by visiting. He could care less for the fallen angel for all he knew. Plus he did have some things to ask Blackheart, himself. Lucifer can roam... as long as the demon doesn't find his secret.
Hades's eyes traced to Blackheart, "To be honest with you, I'm actually happy that I have this body. My previous one was a disappointment, it was weak and limited... This body doesn't have much limitation, but there are a few... problems and confusions... Which I will reveal later."

Lucifer gave a small chuckle, while he remembered what was between the two in the past.. he knew that the Blackheart that stood before Hades was not the same as before, "As you wish, I shall leave you two to your own devices.. play nice, now.." he smirked as he spoke with a cruelly playful tone, turning away and vanished into the ethereal smoke to leave the two alone, the way it was now, it seemed like they were only casually acquainted.. just as Mephisto may have intended.
The black demon watched the prince of lies vanish before subconsciously showing some relief that he was gone, setting his attention back to Hades, his arms lowered and his tail seemed to display a steady flow to its movements. His eyes appeared to lose their gleam of irritation as his attention centered mainly on the now reptilian death god, although not with a glance of a certain familiarity that Hades would have known of from the past.. he was serious as ever, but lacking a certain thing.
"We have faced many failures in our pasts, Hades.. each one of our plans reduced to ruin despite how well structured, felled by those revered as Heroes. We are capable, but never successful in the end... for what reason, why do you suppose that is?"

Hades rose from his throne as Lucifer left, relieved as well but it wasn't showing of course. He did notice a few things different about Blackheart, something he will figure out later... His eyes closed a little and reopened as he walked a little over to the side, still close to the black demon but not enough to possibly make the other uncomfortable.
The reptilian demon's eyes glanced to the other, larger male as he spoke. His expression seemed very neutral, or perhaps tired-looking but he did not feel tired--only indifferent. "Because, we were doing it alone... Our enemies were able to outsmart us and discover our plans. Perhaps that our enemies are too used to us and find us predictable..." Hades answered, his tail curling against the ground.
"What exactly are you getting at? That we work together?" He asked, moving closer with a slightly tilted head.

"Correct, on both accounts.." Blackheart replied with a small nod of his head no sign of enthusiasm in hid tone at all, "If we were to combine our minds, to ally ourselves together without wavering from it, we may have success. As Hell Lords we are not often known to band together so willingly to achieve our intentions."
The demon shook his head, "Hell shall rise if we are successful, we shall dominate the human world.. they shall lose faith in their Heroes, Heroes shall perish or become our playthings, and we shall be be who they revere."

"To be honest with you, I have never pursued taking over the mortal world. Never thought it really important, my only target was getting Zeus off the throne and replacing him with someone better suited for his job... More responsible." Hades turned his head away a little, having a little thought to himself, as if thinking more thoroughly.
Then he looked at Blackheart again, "But... I realize it is just a large step to take. Zeus' weakness had always been what was on the human world, women.. men... It adds to my disgust of him. Taking that is one thing to hurt his position.
"But tell me this, what would happen if we succeed in taking the earth as ours? There are more things out there, more places to take as our own. The universe could be ours if we thought on a wider scale." he gave a light hiss, more of satisfaction of his thought. But then his mind turned elsewhere, and his expression turning more to despair as he tilted his head more towards the black demon, being close enough that his snout was only a few inches from the larger males face.
It was now or never, "but there is something else I want to know... My dear Blackheart..." he began, the light of his more lively hair dimming just a little, "what happened to you...? I sense that you are different."

"Of course, there are first steps toward any complete take over.. I care not for the cosmos at the moment, there are others that desire them as well." Blackheart replied, starting on a smaller scale would only prove just how far a certain member of this alliance can be trusted before things began to break down and demand further stability in the form of another. "This is all to prove that it can be done."
The black demon continued to stare ahead at Hades, even when he was quite dangerously close to the other male's snout, his eyes expressing some manner of confusion as he inquired about him, "I don't know what you're referring to, Hades.. I am the same as I ever was."
His tone remained serious, not even a hint of amusement within it, or even a hint of guilt of the disappointment that may be received from such a revelation. "What am I supposed to be like to you?"

Hades slightly turned away at the response, his despair spiraling down further within himself. Something must have happened after his death, "I thought you would remember... that you were the only person I trusted. And I was never wrong to, never once have you done anything against me that made me think otherwise." His eyes closed a little as he moved from Blackheart, giving the other his space again.
"I never liked Lucifer, thus I never trusted him... I still remember his attempts, how he made me feel guilty of myself." He added, giving a low sigh of breath, "I do not think, banding together with Lucifer is ever the best idea. He is never satisfied, and you know he doesn't get things done with people unless he has something to gain from it."
He gave a small hiss, glancing to the larger demon, "I do not wish to be the victim of his pursuits once again, neither do I wish you to be, my friend. I have other things to worry about than the stress of a fallen angel marking either of us like we're territory to him. Or play things."

"I see," Blackheart's tone still did not change even after listening to Hades, his eyes remained the same size and not even a single muscle on him had shifted, completely void of any emotion that would lead to regret his choice of words. To him it was completely natural to act with such neutrality that it would hurt apparently one of the only people closest to him from the past. He would always have minions, this was a given, but they were only to be around him so long as he actually had a grasp of control over the Nether World. As he was, they were only disposable otherwise, he had not personal attachments to any of them. Even his consorts he had no real affection for, he felt nothing for them.
Meanwhile, Lucifer had been roaming about in the guise of the thick plume of smoke as he traveled down the corridors of Hades' keep. The sight of the Greek god's two imps guarding a doorway had made him stop slowly then gently float forward, advancing on the doorway.
"Then you must be careful, Hades, if Lucifer's treachery truly bothers you that deeply." the black demon suggested, "Before I arrived here he had come to me, to distract me from thinking about that possibility."

"If it turns out, that Lucifer is gaining from this, we do have the option on kicking him out. While the idea of taking the earth is a good one, we still must be weary of him." Hades said, lifting the slightly visible sign of sadness from himself; coming to think that if something had happened to Blackheart, time will remind the other how exactly close they were in the past.
"Perhaps I should tell you something else, could be best... I fear that dealing with it alone could be a distraction wavering from our goal." The greek god turned away again, arms crossed over his chest as he glanced towards the direction of the hallway where he kept something dear to himself, "this body of mine... its not exactly of male gender. Making it capable of bearing young, whether of its own doing or the doing of another."
Meanwhile, the two imps noticed Lucifer approaching and got more defensive, the smaller round one holding the spear it held towards the lustful gods direction, "Don't come any closer! Hades does not want anyone but himself or us through this door!"
"Yeah!" Spoke the taller, thinner imp. "Now unless you are given permission of Hades, its best if you move along like you never seen this door."

"Ah, and what exactly would you do to prevent one from coming in?" The plume of smoke inquired as it lowered itself to their level briefly before rising again, and forming into Lucifer's humanoid form, "Just in case, my dear little imps?"
"I see nothing that Lucifer can gain from this, we are all benefiting from the end result, are we not?" Blackheart replied as Hades voiced his concerns, internally wondering what the other had meant to him in the past, from the way the other was acting they may have had an extremely close acquaintanceship. His attention turned toward the hallway that the death god was looking toward, "Your body is hermaphroditic then? That is... interesting, to say the least."

The tubby imp was slightly shaking a little in fear, but kept his courage up,"well uh... You can't get in without a permission slip!" he said, but it was obvious he was scared, being only a minion and all.
The skinny imp shook too, but more than the tubby one did,"b-b-besides, Hades w-would have our heads if we d-don't make sure only him and people he trusted to see w-whats inside..."
"Yes... And there are some instincts and desires it has that I cannot control. If there is a case where I would advance on you, do not think of any less of me--for my body's maternal desires right now are high," Hades began, glancing towards Blackheart with hint of distress, "It notices my deep trust for you, and it will do anything to force me to do things I might regret later.
"I am warning you in case it happens, for I rather not loose our friendship because of this body's instincts." Hades finished with his explanation, his tail curling around his own feet.

"And just what would be so precious to be guarded by such... trustworthy and quite capable creatures such as yourselves, I wonder?" Lucifer inquired lowering himself to an obscenely low, wide legged squat before the two, his hands reaching out to affectionately stroke at the tops of their heads."Whatever could that be... my little imps?"
"Even so, you could not be as possibly bad as Lucifer... just the touch of him irritates me." Blackheart replied.

The tall blue one shook even more violently, as if going into panic, "Uh... um... if you... really are curious..."
"We.. uh could let you see. We won't tell anyone if you don't. Besides, its supposed to be a big secret." The pink round one added, glancing to the door.
The blue one nodded, "Y-yeah! We'll let it slide, just don't tell a-anyone!" he waved his arms a little.
"Come on panic, help me open the door."
Hades became a little relieved that the other seemed not to mind it.. at least. "Its true.. I'm not that kind of person... Lust wasn't my strong suit anyway..." His face flushed some, "I'm more of... the ambitious kind. B.. besides, if it comes down to mating practices, I would rather do it with my mate.. Or someone I trust. I just hope it wont be a problem when it starts getting to the part where I start rubbing against people."
