THe only way of a exit was the hole in the ceiling made by Cyndass when he and Cleopatra arrived but they were in the lowest level of the tower so Cupid either had to fly his way out through the hole made in the ground by Cyndass or jump out.
And just as he was absorbing Cyndass's energy.
A red glowing Hercule spontaneously appeared in front of him and Cupid felt something stuck in his body if he looked down to see Hercule's fist that punched it's way through his gut and burst through his back.
Hercule, with glowing eyes, glared into Cupid's as he lifted him with his hand still in his body before using his other fist to punch him right where his nose should be, breaking something as Cupid was sent flying into a pillar with a hole in his gut before the pillar collapsed on his waist.
And, when he absorbed some of Cyndass's energy, his cheeks started to turn slightly bright red and felt a little bit hot under the collar as when he absorbed the dragon's power, it had a little side effect that Cupid did not anticipate as his stomach felt on fire and sweat stains appeared on his clothes.
Hercule jumped off the dragon as Cyndass began flying again, looking pale as Cleopatra pulled all the spears out of her and her wounds started to reverse once again while her being on top of the dragon helped him regain the energy that he lost slowly due to the guardian-individual relationship rule of the individual giving a guardian the strength that they lost back.

Cupid, visibly enraged, smacked the pillar- which exploded, sending shrapnel flying everywhere.
"Oh, OH, Is that how you want to play it!?" Cupid asked, with a giant hole in his stomach, as he made his way to his feet. "You can't stop me! Even with this hole in my stomach, I still get up, and I still achieve my goals! Every ounce of effort I put in, it's all going to pay off, and you can't stop it, no matter how hard you try!"
He ran so fast that he only took 3 steps before he was right in Hercule's face, he grabbed onto his face, pressing his fingers into his eyes as he sent all of that burning dragon energy into Hercule instead, transferring the effects.
And then Cupid smacked the air right in front of Hercule, which exploded, knocking him back as Theseus managed to pull himself up to his feet, having not received any power boosts yet.
Theseus looked straight to Cupid, still with the orb beneath one of his spits, with a furious expression on his face.
"Hmph. Fine, you've made your choice." Cupid spat, as he stomped on the ground, releasing a torrent of energy that sent him flying upwards, he jumped in mid-air, and released another blast that shot him straight up through the hole.
"No!" Theseus exclaimed, getting up to his feet and letting his emotions carry him forwards, the rockets on his boots activated and he flew after his enemy.

Cyndass regained some of his colour back and he and Cleopatra looked at the ceiling.
"We can't let them escape with the orb!" Cleopatra yelled.
Cyndass as he flew towards the hole and-
SLASH!
A large slash mask appeared on Cyndass's face, the cut started from the chin and went to the back of his head, cutting the horns from his chin and forehead at the same time and landed on the ground, the mighty dragon guardian let out a pained roar as Hercule was in mid air, his sword made the cut as he landed on the ground that cracked into a crater as he landed there.
Despite what Cupid did to him, he was still on his feet but having to use all of his power into his aura was tearing up his insides slowly, if he keeps it up like this...
He shook, not thinking about the consequences right now as he faced the duo head on.
Cleopatra looked at Cyndass with concern before scowling at Hercule as the dragon looked down on him aswell.
"Impressive, your power may be, but you stand no chance against the two of us. I respect your strength and determination but I am a guardian and you are a single man, this is a fight you cannot win no matter how much power you have inside you. Stand aside and let us take care of Cupid." Cyndass said.
Hercule shook his head again.
"...As the leader of the Royal Guard, I made a vow to make up for all the wrongs the old Royal Guard and the last generation committed against all races and various people, including you two. And I decided to decrease our list of foes so you two and the other groups won't destroy this Universe in your quest to use the orbs, I can't let you two run around anymore, it's time you two give up now while you still can." Hercule said with calm in his voice.
"I refuse to surrender to you! I made a promise too, to revive my family and get back at the ones who did us wrong, I don't need your help! If you won't back down, then you will end up in the same place as the old Royal Guard, buried and forgotten by time!" Cleopatra shouted.
Cyndass opened his wings and shot more fire projectiles at Hercule who jumped before the bullets could hit the floor, landing on each bullet as he leaped his way to the dragon and punched him hard in the chest, breaking through his armor.
"AAUGH!" Cyndass roared, with large wide eyes and blood peering out of his nose from the impact of that punch.
While still in the air, Hercule began slashing at Cyndass's chest and stomach, leaving cuts that were as big as the one he had on his face before he grabbed hold of his foot and jumped up, landing on his back in front of Cleopatra.
Cleopatra, holding two spears, slammed them into Hercule's chest and they broke when they came in contact with his chest before Hercule kicked Cleopatra in the stomach, getting thrown off the dragon and collided with the wall, smashing through it with dust coming out.
Hercule ran up to Cyndass's tail, jumping down and with all his might, he pulled the massive dragon down, slamming his face into the ground before lifting him up by using his tail and slammed his against his back, the floor beneath Cyndass turned into a crater as he gasped, he did not expect Hercule to be that powerful to beat his body into the ground.
Cleopatra, embedded into the wall, covered in dirt and bruises, her hair was messed up aswell, coughed up and looked down with a shocked expression.
"Cyndass!" Cleopatra shouted.
Hercule jumped away from Cyndass and looked at the hole Theseus and Cupid escaped from as he tightened his fists.
"...You better not die on me, man." Hercule said.

Meanwhile, above the planet...
Daphne was sitting in Cupid's seat, watching the live feed of the outside of the temple, so far there hadn't been much movement.
A Portal opened up behind her, as Castor walked through with a bandaged up Zener in his arms. Emotionlessly, he placed Zener down on a spare chair at the side, nodding in Daphne's direction.
"What happened to you?" Daphne asked.
"It was that Hercule bastard." Zener spat, with some blood running down her mouth, and quite a bit still seeping through her bandage. "It hurts like a bitch."
"...And Cupid?" Daphne asked. "Where's he?"
"He went on ahead by himself." Zener muttered.
Castor blinked. "...Did he even look at you?" He asked, stiltedly.
"Wouldn't know." Zener grimaced.
Daphne's stare turned distant, hidden behind her visor before she turned to face the screen again. She let her fingers rest over the keyboard, as they started shaking.
----
"Get back here, Cupid!" Theseus roared at the top of his lungs, as walls of earth shot up above the two of them, creating a new ceiling in the room with all the balloons in it.
Cupid kept throwing himself upwards, slapping the air above him, sprinkling explosions in the air to blow apart the barrier Theseus had just made. Looking straight up, at the light shining above them. Theseus continued to give chase, but any obstacles he sent Cupids way were dispatched effortlessly.
As long as he had the orb in his hands, that glow surrounding him remained, even as a large chunk of his power was focused on healing up the hole in his torso, he had energy to spare. As Theseus contemplated this, his eyes narrowed.
He thrust his arms forwards, a pillar of earth flying up from behind him and going straight towards Cupid, shrinking down until it would be the right size to impale itself right through the already-present hole. Cupid turned at just the last moment and kicked it aside, explosions trailed down it as though triggered by each other, as the final explosion caught Theseus in its blast, sending him flying into one of the walls, leaving a Theseus shaped imprint in it.
Theseus grimaced, prying himself out, and continued to give chase.

Standing on top one of the statue dragon heads.
Koshi was looking at the Tower from the distance with the same monotone expression on his face.
-----
Cyndass, with a bit of difficulty, got himself off the ground, clenching his sharp teeth as Hercule's hits did a bit of number on his large body than he initially expected as pieces of his armor collapsed on the floor, only his shoulder pads remained.
He stared at his opponent dead on as he floated up towards the ceiling and curled himself into a ball as a familiar red sphere appeared around his body, increasing, he was attempting another Supernova.
Hercule, deciding not to wait to let him charge up his attack, he lunged up and smashed right through the sphere and kicked Cyndass in the neck, the force of his kick sent Cyndass upwards and his head crashed against the ceiling, his eyes bugged out as he crashed on the ground on his knees.
Cleopatra, still stuck in the wall, watched with wide terrified eyes, clearly worried about her guardian who was getting beaten by Hercule.
"H-he broke through the Supernova!? Cyndass, are you okay!?" Cleopatra asked.
Cyndass just got up again, bleeding from his head but he wasn't gonna fall just yet as he looked at the blood on the ground that belonged to him, coming from the recent wounds on his torso.
"...Incredible. I've never encountered anyone to make me bleed so much up until now...these Neonytes, they are very unpredictable opponents...but I can't run, not now, if we leave him around, Cleopatra will be in grave danger with a opponent like this one. I need to finish this now, I have no choice." Cyndass thought to himself.
He looked back at Hercule.
"You are a admirable warrior, Hercule. Truly a worthy adversary. But I am far from being defeated just yet." Cyndass said.
Hercule kept his guard up as he charged at Cyndass again.
Cyndass quickly jumped up before Hercule could slash him with his sword as he placed his hands together.
"Cyndass, no! Just leave him be and let's escape, he will kill you, I can't afford to lose you too!" Cleopatra cried, her eyes were shaking in fear, afraid of what might happen to Cyndass.
"...I am sorry, Cleopatra, but I cannot. Even if we escape, he will persuade us and I can't allow him to hurt you, I can't fail a second time, that will be the end of me. I hope you understand." Cyndass grimaced with half-closed eyes that expressed a great level of uncertainty, having that ominous feeling again.
He removed his hands, revealing a fireball that turned very large, the same ball he used against Lynne and later used on Plague.
"Shit, he's become desperate enough to use that move? This is not gonna end well." Hercule thought as he prepared himself.
"You managed to cancel Supernova, but can you handle the overwhelming force of Hellfire!?" Cyndass asked.
He pushed the fireball down, heading to Hercule very quickly.
Hercule placed his hands forward, pressing them against the fireball before it could land on the floor.
With the floor shattering beneath him, Hercule let out a scream as the ball kept pushing him down, despite his strength, the ball was a lot harder to push down but he wasn't gonna give up, using all the power in his body to repel the ball before it could incinerate him, his palms were getting burned by the ball.
Cyndass just stared intently at Hercule with sweat dripping down his bleeding forehead where his horn used to be, his golden pupils were shaking, looking concerned himself before looking back at Cleopatra who looked very scared.

Cupid was back at the maze, running his way down the hallway.
For a brief moment, he stopped, seeing a series of broken apart walls were lying on the dirt where Zener had been lying the last he saw.
"...Zener?" Cupid asked, clutching a earpiece as he resumed his sprint, using a excess of energy to zoom up the stairs before Theseus could even follow him. "Zener, can you hear me? I've got the orb! We're one step closer to victory!"
"We are?"Zener's voice asked. "That's good. I'll tell Perses."
"Before that, tell Daphne to get the ship here! That bastard Theseus is on my trail, and I want to make sure he doesn't survive when he catches up!"
"Roger that, sir."
As Cupid made his way up the snake stairs, Theseus flew through the maze room on his rockets, going as fast as he could, but Cupid was undeniably going much faster.

Back in the chamber where the orb used to be.
Hercule was pushing with all his might against the giant fireball while Cyndass just watched.
"Give up. You have no chance of winning the battle." Cyndass suggested.
"W-who asked you!? I-I can't give up just yet! Not when we are so close!" Hercule yelled.
With every muscle aching, Hercule put a lot of force into his burned up hands and managed to push the fireball forward slightly, much to Cyndass's shock.
"What!? Impossible!" Cyndass said.
Hercule let out another scream as he managed to pushed the fireball upwards, sending it flying past Cyndass.
A shocked Cyndass stood there, staring at Hercule with a look of disbelief of his face as the warrior stood there, panting with blood escaping from his mouth.
"...I said...I won't give up...not now, not ever." Hercule said intently.
Cyndass just growled in frustration before he had a bad feeling in his gut as he turned around and saw the fireball going right towards Cleopatra to his horror.
"NO! CLEOPATRA, GET OUT OF THE WAY!" Cyndass shouted as he flew towards her.
Cleopatra saw the fireball and gasped as she pulled herself out of the wall and tried to jump but the fireball was about to hit her instead and-
Cyndass appeared in front of her.
"Cyndass!" Cleopatra said.
Cyndass aimed his hands and grabbed onto the fireball, blocking it before it could hit Cleopatra.
However, the Hellfire fireball was too powerful even for him as he struggled trying to cancel it but his large claws went right through the fireball and turned into ashes, something that horrified Cyndass.
"Oh no!" Cyndass said, as his hands got plunged into the fireball, burning his entire skin off and Cyndass's body was getting dragged into his own attack.
"CYNDASS!" Cleopatra shouted, leaning forward with a look of panic on her face.
Hercule himself looked shocked as he was watching the dragon being devoured by the fireball.
All that Cyndass could do is watch as he closed his eyes and frowned to himself.
"...Well played, Hercule. You used my own attack against me. Well done." Cyndass said, with a solemn tone.
"H-Hey, don't just stand there! GET OUT OF THAT BALL!" Hercule yelled, despite what's happened, he did not wish for Cyndass to die.
Cyndass turned his head to Cleopatra, opening his eyes with tears flowing down his cheeks.
"C-Cyndass?" Cleopatra asked, tearing up herself.
"...I'm sorry, Cleopatra. What I did was a foolish mistake that could of taken your life and now I'm paying the price for putting you in danger. Please forgive me." Cyndass pleaded.
"W-what are you saying!? Of course I forgive you! Just please, don't go! Don't leave me alone!" Cleopatra yelled, reaching her arm out to the dragon.
Cyndass looked away from her with a sad smile, continuing to cry even more.
"...Thank you...for saving me from the curse...and for being my best friend....I will never forget you, not even Death or the Gods themselves can pull us apart. We will see each other again, one day. I promise." Cyndass said.
His body got dragged into the fireball as it was now floating in the center and Cyndass's body was getting torn apart by the Hellfire.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!" Cleopatra screamed at the top of her lungs.
----
Somewhere in the tower, Cleopatra's scream reached both Theseus and Cupid's ears.

Cupid staggered in place, taken off guard for a brief moment.
That moment was enough for Theseus, who sent a chunk of the wall next to Cupid flying out, striking him straight in the side of his head.
"Gah!" Cupid coughed, still keeping hold of the orb as he almost fell down the side of the stairs, he turned around, seething. "You're still so intent on getting in my way!?" Cupid asked, "Didn't you learn when I killed you the last time!?"
"I swear I've heard that on a tv show once."Theseus commented, for the express purpose of pissing Cupid off even further. Theseus brought a large chunk of the floor in front of him up and sent it flying at Cupid, who destroyed it with a large burst of energy, that would've struck Theseus had he not flown over it.
Still seething, Cupid jumped into the air, releasing a burst of energy to shoot himself up even further, Theseus gave chase, continuing to lob all that he could at Cupid, some of the chunks of earth simply missed him completely, while others did hit and knock Cupid off course, he held onto the orb with all that he had and kept up the pace.
Theseus was getting faster and faster, and the seconds getting hit cost Cupid were enough for Theseus to slowly catch up to him.

"...So this is what that feeling was. The feeling that my own death was approaching."
Inside his evolution realm.
Cyndass was lying against the wall, inside a dark prison cell, his limbs were chained up and the only sign of light was coming from a single cell bar, directed at his face as he opened his sad golden eyes.
"...How ironic that of all people, a Neonyte would be the one to strike me down and the person I died to protect is a Neonyte, what a amusing twist of irony." Cyndass said in a low voice.
He gazed at the window, looking at the light. When he was imprisoned and got struck by the guardian's curse, that light was the only thing that gave him a comfort, a sign that perhaps one day, Marduk would find it in his heart to forgive him, release him and become his guardian again...but that was just foolish thinking, then one day, Cleopatra saved him and now, he saved her.
"...To think my fate was to die here, on my home planet, my evolution realm has changed back into my prison, how fitting, all the memories I have of Uraeus is just a prison, even before I betrayed my kind, when the Neonytes enslaved me and when I went against the dragons. Perhaps I was never free to begin with, I was just kidding myself. And now, I'm gonna die in this place, fitting for a traitor like myself. But, before I go, there is still one last thing I can do." Cyndass said.
He looked up, a gold cage floating above him, inside the cage was a heron bird covered in flames glowing with a white aura.
"There's no need to waste Rebirth on me, my old friend. I need you to keep Cleopatra safe, I will release you from your cage. You do not deserve to be buried here with me in this prison, it's time for you to take your flight and be free. Bennu." Cyndass said.
The cage's door opened and Bennu, with a bit of hesitance, stopped glowing and flew out of the cage, landing at the window, turning to look at Cyndass one last time with hot tears dripping out of it's eyes.
Cyndass glanced at the bird and nodded at it in response.
Bennu looked away and floated out of the cell through the window.
Cyndass closed his eyes and looked down as the prison cell began shaking and walls cave in, a monstrous wave of fire engulfed Cyndass before the ceiling came apart and crushed him.
"Farewell...Cleopatra."
-----
Bennu flew out of the Hellfire.
The fireball vanished and both Hercule and Cleopatra looked up.
All that remained of Cyndass was a pitch black skeleton that descended down from the air and landed on the floor in front of Hercule, his eyes widened as he looked at the skeleton, not believing his eyes.
Cleopatra, with a blank stare, fell from the wall and landed on her knees, her arms were limp as she stared at the skeleton with eyes covered in tears.
"...Cyndass...why?" Cleopatra asked, she sounded broken with no emotion in her voice.
She slowly looked up at Hercule who looked very shocked.
"...I...din't want him dead...I couldn't of known he was gonna do this." Hercule said to Cleopatra with disbelief.
And then, he looked up to see the flaming bird floating above him.
"Huh? What is that?" Hercule asked, getting his guard up if the bird lashed at him.
Bennu flew towards Cleopatra, floating in front of her as she stared back at the bird.
"...Bennu?...Is that you?" Cleopatra asked, in a monotone voice.
Bennu simply nodded, visibly crying as it flew above Cleopatra's head and landed on her shoulders, the bird started to glow heavily red as it opened it's wings, that did not look good in Hercule's eyes.
"Oh shit, is that his evolution spirit?" Hercule asked himself.
Cleopatra stared at Hercule, her tear filled eyes shrunk with pure hatred and rage for Hercule and clenched her fists.
"....I'm gonna kill you...I'm gonna kill you and the Royal Guard, the pirates, F2, Kaam, everyone who lives in this damn Universe, I WILL NOT STOP TILL ALL OF YOU DIE!" Cleopatra roared.
Bennu exploded into fire, engulfing the entire room while Hercule tried to run but got caught in the fire as it began spreading all the way to the top in every room and inch of this tower.
The roaring fire was rising, quickly reaching it's way to Theseus and Cupid if they were still in the tower at this point.

Theseus looked down below him, at the quickly advancing fire, with wide eyes he kicked everything into full gear and shot straight past Cupid, making his way into the entryway to the tower.
"What!?" Cupid asked, looking below him, only for the fire to brush against his shoes. "Shit!" He cried out, striking the fire below him with his energy, creating a blast that quickly backfired. Enveloping him completely, then enveloping Theseus before he could escape the tower, and quickly destroying the entire entryway. Blowing all of the walls down.
...
Daphne jolted up to her feet, watching the screen in front of her. The entire bottom floor of the temple, from her perspective, had spontaneously exploded.
Zener was still sitting on the at the side, from her angle she couldn't see anything, and her eyes had turned somewhat hazy. Castor, however, was peering right over Daphne's shoulder. He had no visible reaction.

the tower was visibly shaking, cracks appearing all over it before a massive pillar of fire burst out, destroying the Tower and incinerating the Twin Snakes into dust, reaching into the sky.
Hercule was on top of that pillar, smoke coming out of his body before he fell off and crashed on the ground, rolling a bit before he stopped and looked at the pillar.
Theseus and Cupid got spat out of the pillar aswell but they landed a bit further from where Hercule was and despite that, the Orb of Fulfillment was intact, not damaged by the fire.
A large version of Bennu peered out of the pillar of fire, opening it's wings and let out a monstrous cry, it was so loud that everyone on the planet heard it, unleashing a powerful gust of wind that sent Hercule backwards, covering him in dirt as he placed his hand around his forehead with one eye closed.
"W-what the hell have I unleashed!?" Hercule asked.
Every dragon on the planet looked up at the sky, hearing Bennu's sorrowful cry, it's voice was actually mixed with Cleopatra's voice so it was a combined cry from the two of them.
Koshi also stared at the large bird, his eyebrows lowered and clenched his fists as he began jumping from stone head to stone head, hurrying himself to the battlefield.
The crew on Cupid's ship could hear the cry from the distance, the room they were in visibly shook as the windows began cracking till they shattered into pieces.
----
Back at the city.
Inside the Citadel, the Royal Guard pairs along with Fafnir, Sapphira and Gyo were back in the throne room as Izanami was patching up Diana by wrapping her wounds in bandages and Dietz was carefully picking up traces of ember out of Nephthys's body and placed them in a paper bag.
That is till the wind smashed through the glass stained windows and the gust of window breezed through everyone as they turned their attentions to where the windows used to be.
"What the!?" Izanami asked.
"What the hell was that!?" Dietz asked.
Everyone rushed to the windows as they were able to see the giant Phoenix bird from the distance, Marduk looked shocked.
"That bird! It's Bennu! Cyndass has unleashed it!" Marduk said.
"It's been ages since I have seen that majestic creature after so many years!" Gyo said, adjusting his glasses to make sure he was seeing right.
"Even from the distance, I can sense it, it's power is...outstanding." Sapphira said, visibly sweating and trembled.
"That cry...it sounds like a woman's." Fafnir gulped with wide eyes.
"...A woman? Oh no, you don't think that it could be..." Nephthys said, breathing heavily as she watched the creature, it's power felt bigger than her three Evolution spirits combined.
"...I saw that giant bird before, on one of Solomon's paintings...oh shit, what if Hercule and Theseus are there right now!?" Dietz asked, looking frightened at that possibility.

Erinye was at the back of the group, staring straight ahead. Eyes wide open, lips pressed together, hands shaking.
Diana, still wounded, turned around and looked straight at her. Erinye's hands balled into fists as she walked to the side, exiting the room.
"Erinye?" Diana asked, panic rising from her voice.
...
Cupid opened up his eyes, the orb had rolled out of his grip and was still rolling away from the scene. His glow had faded somewhat, and his coat had completely burned to cinders, only a few burnt traces remained on his shoulders and torso. His hair had met a similar fate, with the back side of it burnt almost completely off.
"..Fuck.." Cupid gasped, sincerely, pulling himself up to his knees and running his hand along the damaged hair stands, which quickly began to repair themselves. "The Orb!" He exclaimed, abandoning any prestige as he took off running towards it, scooping it up before Theseus, who was completely scorched from head to toe, could stand up himself.
Theseus craned his neck, squinting into the distance, there was no sign of Cupid or Hercule directly in front of him, only sand. He turned his head and saw Hercule lying there not too far away, and then looked up... and he saw Bennu.
"What in the...?" Theseus's guard was completely down. He had no response.

Upon hearing his voice, Hercule turned his head and his eyes turned white upon seeing Theseus.
“THESEUS!” Hercule shouted.
Despite the pain he was feeling, Hercule got back on his fert and ran to Theseus, looking at his burned body.
“Oh, God!” Hercule exclaimed.
Hercule looked at his own aura and placed his hands on Theseus, using his aura’s energy to heal up the damage and likely giving him a boost, not paying Cupid, Bennu or the orb any mind at all as he was focused on saving Theseus.
After finishing it’s cry, Bennu shrunk down, merging into the pit of fire that surfaced out of the crater where the tower used to be.
A female figure rose from the fire, as if it was born from that fire. The figure’s body was completely covered from head to toe in fire, it can only be recognizable as Cleopatra from her torn dress that somehow din’t get burn, her hair was let loose and cackling like fire itself, bare burning feet, hands with sharp talons including toenails with two large bird feet with talons that came out of her back, flapping up and down that were used as wings as she was floating above the fire, she was barely a Neonyte anymore, she was now more of a destructive force of nature that rose from the ashes.
She opened her pure red iris-less eyes while her face was expressionless, flares were dancing in her eyes with tears rolling down her eyelids as they landed on the ground, combusting into flames upon landing.
With anger and hatred, she gave the Royal Guard members one look before looking at Cupid who had the orb.
Opening her hands and pointing them at the pirate, a beam of fire and lava burst out of her palms, piercing through Cupid’s torso, making yet another hole larger than the one Hercule made, melting his guts in the process before shooting another beam directed at his head.

Cupid turned around and gritted his teeth, at just the right moment he was surrounded by a aura, which completely absorbed the beam before it could pierce through his stomach, he then held his hand in clear shot of the second beam, allowing that to be absorbed as well.
And not wanting to risk any unwanted side-effects, it instantly sent all of the energy he just absorbed towards Hercule and Theseus. That beam pierced through Hercule's side, from his left to his right, boring a large whole through his innards.
"Hello!?" Cupid shouted into his intercom. "I've got the orb! Hurry up and get here before this planet blows up with me on it! If we lose the orb then we lose everything, understand!?"

Hercule got hit on his left side with blood spilling out before blocking the next beam with his sword, the beam itself managed to make a crack on his sword actually.
Blood poured out of Hercule's mouth as he used all his energy on Theseus instead of using it on himself, turning to look a little bit pale actually.
Cleopatra spread her arms and the entire ground began shaking, a long crack appearing on it with Hercule, Theseus and Cupid standing on said ground as it began tearing up in half, exposing a lake of lava.
"SHIT!" Hercule screamed, grabbing Theseus and jumped out of the way with Theseus in one arm, landing on a black spot that wasn't covered in lava.
Cleopatra, floating above lava, raised one hand and clenched it as a large serpent creature made out of lava rose and wrapped itself around Cupid's body, not seeming to care about the orb as it din't even attempt to take it from his hands.
"Burn." Cleopatra growled.
The lava beast combusted into fire, engulfing Cupid in said fire before letting him fall into the hot boiling lake.
