#and then along came ZEUS HE HURLED HIS THUNDERBOLT~!

[teawiththegods]

And then along came Zeus

He hurled his thunderbolt

He zapped

Locked those suckers in a vault

They're trapped

And on his own stopped

Chaos in its tracks

And that's the gospel truth

The guy was too type A to just relax

And that's the world's first dish

Zeus tamed the globe

While still in his youth

Though, honey, it may seem imposs'ble

That's the gospel truth

- “The Gospel Truth I/Main Title” from Disney’s Hercules

Honestly the fact that Disney can give Zeus his flowers more than some of you is really quite upsetting. Especially when you seem to have no issues showering Hades in a whole garden of flowers.

 h-c,

I tried to get the songs as time accurate as possible, I believe TTCMTB was set in 1969? Based on the fact the first scene was 1939 and it says 30 years later. Correct me if I’m wrong tho :)

Thomas Hewitt:

- He hadn’t meant to eavesdrop

- He’d been passing the bathroom upstairs when he heard you singing softly

- And he was enthralled

- He’d made a full stop, leaning his head towards the door so he could hear you better

- He could hear you over the water and he smiled.

- “Chim chiminey, chim chiminey, chim chim cher-ee! A sweep is as lucky as lucky can be” You sung gently to yourself

- Thomas remembered the tune, you’d been singing it to yourself in the kitchen earlier.

- “Chim chiminey, chim chiminey, chim chim cher-oo, good luck will rub off, when I shake ‘ands with you” You continued as you washed your hair

- You’d finished quickly, having paused your singing, as your wrapped a towel around you. opening the door to see Thomas, who looked away, awkward at having been caught

- You chuckled, asking if he’d heard you sing, and when he nodded you hummed again.

- “Or blow me a kiss, and that’s lucky too” You sung again, winking at him, as you headed back towards your bedroom, leaving the poor man standing there blushing

Bo Sinclair:

- Bo had been waiting outside the bathroom for you, towel in his hand, knowing for sure you’d forgotten to grab one, when he heard you sing

- “And then along came Zeus, he hurled his thunderbolts, he zapped, locked those suckers in a vault, they’re trapped, and on his own stopped chaos in it’s tracks” 

- He paused for a moment, frowning listening closer

- “And that’s the gospel truth! The guy was just too type A to just relax!” You carried on and he almost chuckled, and he could imagine you dancing in the shower

- “And that’s the worlds first dish! Zeus tamed the globe while still in his youth, though honey it may seem imposs’ble, that’s the gospel truth!

- You kept on singing as you stepped out of the shower.

- “On Mt. Olympus life was neat and smooth as sweet vermouth. Though honey, it may seem imposs’ble, that’s the gospel truth!” You sing. and finish as Bo knocks on the door, which you open a crack, hiding behind it as he shoves a towel through the gap

- “Thought you might be needing this Beyonce” He joked as you took it, thanking him

- You knew you wouldn’t hear the end of this

"Slow and agonizing, huh? If it keeps me warm, you won't get any complaints from me."

That deep, raspy voice of his seemed to come with hold a different tone for a change. If Rex so much as stopped to look at Ghost, that content tone would've been accompanied by an odd engulfing of his own body in his own blue flames. It was naturally more Ki-like, given his Saiyan nature, but since he was born by the flame, in a way... That's what he'd call his energy. Flame...

"If I didn't know any better, I'd think you were taking this personally. Like someone's personally done you wrong, in favor of something like what they have. Or am I on the mark, this time?"

Call it curiosity, but Ghost was starting to actually speak to Rex with a slight tone of care; learning to do so from just how Rex cared for those who were wrongly attacked by these executives and their lackeys. Numb as he was, he could still attempt a tone. To punctuate his inquiry, he'd help Rex melt a gold bust at the same time the other was trying to do it.

If Rex saw them as mortal men trying to be Zeus, hurling their thunderbolts, then aptly, Ghost would've been Prometheus; though unchained from a bird eating his liver only for it to regrow every day. Ghost's gift was the flame, and oh how he enjoyed the warm embrace of it!

"I think the people literally and figuratively below their position might've had time to evacuate a few floors. So..."

Just like that, Ghost would leap out of the window that the two came in from; floating in the air before another bursting wave of blue fire engulfed several more floors; abiding by Rex's heroic code, since they were at least cooperating. Thereafter, he'd join Rex on the same floor again; grabbing an executive by the suit jacket; that same apathetic expression etched on his visage.

"You know what I noticed about the fire your people set? People were still in there, when the place went up in flames. If it wasn't for the other guy, and I really cared about human affairs? This whole place would've been up in flames in the blink of an eye. It'd only be fair, right?"

Shoving the man away, it seemed as though he was waiting for Rex's next move, since he was leading this vengeful, seemingly heroic act against the culprits. Ghost was just along for warmth, but... He supposed that finding that warmth could also benefit Rex's goals, so long as they coexisted.

Ghost, for what it was worth, was quick to ascend with Rex; following close behind in complete silence, since all he got in return was a huff. The Scorched One wasn't coming along to play hero, or particularly involve himself with human affairs, but it kept him busy enough to keep his body heat at a tolerable level.

Words could certainly be twisted by those who dared speak them, and if Ghost knew what Rex was thinking, he'd of likely, albeit apathetically, shot down the idea that the Scorched Saiyan was trying to guilt him into feeling bad, or getting inside his head. What he said, more often than not, was honest... No matter how numb he sounded about anything.

Guilty by association was something Ghost didn't delve too much into the ideation of, but in this case? He supposed Rex had a handle on how to go about things. Casually landing and letting Rex handle the terrorizing part of this whole endeavor, the now white-haired male let his gaze casually wander throughout the room he and Rex both occupied, before... Suddenly...

FWOOSH!

Without a word uttered by the Saiyan, the entire floor would be set ablaze; scorching blue flame-like energy engulfing anything in its path. For a man without emotion towards heroics, he certainly decided to join in on the payback part of this whole job. Rex's terrorizing was his own part of the gig, but Ghost?

The flame brought him warmth, and certainly seemed to make him even stronger with each degree of heat he was subjected to. Was that his endgame, as far as Rex was concerned? Most likely... but who was Ghost, really? Why did he make those previous comments if he didn't care?

"Is it just this floor, or did you want the whole building on fire? You're not exactly easy to read, you know!"

"One floor at a time."

The pace Rex set forth was partially to try and allow these executives' more lowly employees a chance to evacuate-- they weren't paid nearly enough to deal with this. But also so those same suits could watch everything they'd built off the backs of others burn as they ran, or tried to greedily salvage what they could for themselves.

Rex shattered their lofty prizes, their overwrought monuments to themselves they put on display throughout the place in their self-aggrandizing way. These things went for scores of bills and obscene weights of gold-- some were even totally fashioned from the vaunted metal, and it was all going to melt and turn to cinders, whether from the expanding flames or Rex's extended aura with its own outward heat and pressure, accented by the singe of various laser beams.

Rex could sense a correlation between the flames and Ghost's power. It was something he'd keep in mind. But in this case, he did not discourage it. Not against these cowards who thought they were hurling thunderbolts from their very own Mount Olympus because they could afford the extravagance and folk at ground level were theirs to make sport of. Rex's former associates had abandoned him to acquire this for themselves.

All that which endured the burning, whether bolted down or not was subsequently brought to ruin by Rex's hand. Two intruders tearing the place apart...

[songsteps]

I didn't realize that those were tree branches at first in the drawing so all I could imagine is that meme that goes "And the along came Zeus! He hurled his thunderbolt". My brain and eyes don't work but hey at least I thought of something funny

HAHA yea they do look kinda like lightning

[mecthology]

Cyclops from Greek mythology.

Fearing their power, the cyclops were thrown into the pits of Tartarus by their father Uranus. The monsters remained imprisoned when the titan Cronus overthrew Uranus and took his place as ruler of the universe. It was only when the Olympians came to power did the cyclops find freedom. The mighty Zeus released the monsters, who in turn would craft thunderbolts for the young Olympian.

Perhaps the most famous story involving a cyclops involves Odysseus and his woeful travels. In book 9 of The Odyssey, Odysseus and his crew find themselves trapped in the cave of the mighty cyclops, Polyphemus. The monster blocks their escape and devours the flesh of his captives day after day. Being known for his cleverness, Odysseus devises a plan to escape.

Odysseus offers to Polyphemus wine that the traveler brought along from his ship. The cyclops indulges and is soon very drunk. Feeling joyful, the monster asks the man his name. Odysseus replies that his name is “nobody.” When Polyphemus falls asleep from intoxication, Odysseus and him men blind the cyclops by stabbing him in the eye with a sharpened staff. Polyphemus, now enraged, cries out to the other cyclops of the island that “Nobody” has blinded him.

Odysseus and him men then escape from the cave of the monster by harnessing themselves to the under bellies of the numerous sheep that Polyphemus shepherds. Now completely blind, the monster feels the backs of the animals as they leave to graze; the cyclops is unaware that his captives are escaping silently, hiding under his flock. As Odysseus sails away, he boasts to the defeated monster who in turn attempts to sink the man’s ship by hurling boulders from a high cliff.

(and then along came zeus) he HURLED his thunderbolt

[pokeballin]

Gospel Truth I, Hercules

“And then along came ZEUS

He hurled his thunderbolt

He zapped

Locked those suckers in a vault

They're trapped

And on his own stopped

chaos in its tracks!”

Hestia, Demeter, Hera, Hades, and Poseidon: 

[missmitchieg]

Back when the world was new The planet Earth was down on its luck And everywhere gigantic brutes Called Titans ran amok

It was a nasty place There was a mess Wherever you stepped Where chaos reigned and Earthquakes and volcanoes never slept

And then along came Zeus He hurled his thunderbolt He zapped Locked those suckers in a vault They're trapped And on his own stopped Chaos in its tracks And that's the gospel truth The guy was too type A to just relax

And that's the world's first dish Zeus tamed the globe While still in his youth Though, honey, it may seem imposs'ble That's the gospel truth

On Mt. Olympus life was neat and Smooth as sweet vermouth Though, honey, it may seem imposs'ble That's the gospel truth

[killuwa]

Back when the world was new

The planet Earth was down on its luck

And everywhere gigantic brutes

Called Titans ran amok

It was a nasty place

There was a mess

Whereever you stepped

Where chaos reigned and

Earthquakes and volcanoes never slept

And then along came Zeus

He hurled his thunderbolt

He zapped

Locked those suckers in a vault

They're trapped

And on his own stopped

Chaos in its tracks

[movisual]

5 Muses in Hercules: And then along came Zeus, he hurled his thunderbolt-

Me: Yeah, his thunderbolt, if ya know what I mean
