Oh boy, we're going to be in so much trouble if we're late with these reports

Chiron. Uh, Chiron!

Hey, uh, we just wanted to bring back our reports.

Yeah, technically the sun's not up yet, so, uh, we're not late.

Right, Chiron?

That's weird.

Imports. Okay.

If he's not in his office... Chiron!

Sir!

Oh, hello.

Oh, Lilith, hi.

What are you doing here?

Nothing. I'm just looking for Chiron.

Oh, really?

That wouldn't happen to be a report behind your back, would it, huh?

Shane, Shane.

So where is Chiron? I have checked everywhere.

Your pony boy teacher got missing, huh?

Ares? What have you done with Chiron?

Are you okay?

Yes.

How unfriendly, little brother.

You don't care what happens to Chiron?

Fine. But just in case you're curious...

Let

him go, Ares.

After I went to all this trouble... See, the candle burns the rope. The rope

snaps, and this ball of swords is gonna swing down and... Oh! That's gotta hurt!

If you want to save him, you better hurry before the flame burns through the

road.

You get the point? Because if you don't, Tyron will.

In an age of light and darkness,

Zeus, king of the gods, ruled the universe.

He had a son.

Young Hercules.

Half god,

half man. Young Hercules longs to find his place in the world. The father he's

never known. And what it means to be a hero.

Before the man became legend. Before the legend became myth.

Kane, the greatest adventure of all.

I don't trust you, Ares.

I don't know if that's such a good idea. What did you say? How do I know that

he's alright, huh?

Let me speak to him.

Why would I lie to you?

All right.

Go ahead.

Speak.

A great warrior rises from the ashes of defeat.

Beware a liar's enchantment.

In times of crisis, a son of Zeus forges ahead.

Enough already!

Now you know why I gagged him.

So, you got a burning desire to see him again?

I suggest you hurry.

Well, that sounds like Karma.

Giving us advice even when he's in trouble.

No, he's not giving us advice.

He's given us clues.

A great warrior rises from the ashes of defeat.

Beware a liar's enchantment.

In times of crisis.

A son of Zeus forges ahead?

Now all we have to do is just figure him out.

Chiron's doomed.

Aren't you clever?

I just hope Hercules can figure out the clues she gave him.

You want Hercules to find me?

Why?

You know you can't destroy Hercules.

Or you'll suffer the vengeance of Zeus.

Enough with Zeus' protection order.

Anyone who harms Hercules will suffer for an eternity in Tartarus.

What am I, an idiot? I know already!

Then why are you doing this?

Well, just never said anything about Hercule's harming himself.

And my little half -brother, he's the self -sacrificing kind of guy.

He won't do it.

Do what?

Give up his life to save yours?

Of course he will.

And we both know it.

We agree that Chiron was trying to tell us where he is, right?

A great warrior rises from the ashes of defeat.

Do you think they're supposed to tell us where he is?

Rises from the ashes.

Rises from the ashes.

Hey, okay, now how about this? What about the old classic story about the

phoenix rising from the ashes?

So? Well, so, don't you remember the phoenix cave and Hera's chalice?

It's a chalice.

Cool. Zeus does nice work.

What do you think's in it? I don't know. It could be a trap.

Oh, uh, you have a lovely name.

Okay.

It's like water.

Maybe the cave leaks.

Are you telling me I came all this way for a drink of water?

Hey, I think we could get out of here.

Fuck!

But I don't think Ares is going to keep Kyron in mid -air.

No, but the phoenix did rise from the ashes back at his cave, right?

So what about beware of Lyra's enchantment? I mean, I don't find Ares

enchanting, and Kyron's not a liar.

Okay, um, what about this? I mean, maybe, what if he didn't mean liar? What

he meant like music, you know?

What?

Fuck it!

I've never seen anything like this before.

Really?

Please, let me show you around.

Never fails, huh? Chicks always dig guys with horns.

No, he's just dead.

Oh.

Oh, here it is.

I'm dead.

Boy,

was I glad to get out of that one.

Yeah, out of the cave.

Here's where I'm going with this.

Both Bacchus and the phoenix came from caves, right?

So you think Kylan's in a cave? Well, there are a lot of caves down there,

In times of crisis, the son of Zeus will forge ahead.

Well, you're son of Zeus.

Well, if there was Ares, if there was Castor and Pollux and... Lucius. And

Lucius. Hephaestus. Hephaestus. Hey, Ho, what if they're talking about the cave

of Hephaestus' forge?

Confess it. It's Hercules.

Huh?

My private collection.

Yeah, real proud of you.

Oh!

Oh, well.

The light. It's got such a great balance.

My own special alloy. Three times as strong and twice as light as Phoenician

iron. Hey, try it.

There, try it.

All right.

Drop it.

Magnetic metal. Okay.

Okay,

you better stand behind me. All righty. Okay.

Okay. Here we go. Here we go.

It's great for fighting dragons.

That's it.

Hephaestus has the forge in his workshop cave.

And that's where Ares is keeping Chiron.

Guys!

Jaxer is on his way to Corinth. He said he'd go as fast as he could.

Okay, well, we'll get Jason to take his whole army and a king's ransom.

Well, if we can't stall Ares, they'll be too late.

Now, what did you say about a ransom?

Well, I said Jason would pay the price to save Chiron.

But Ares didn't ask for anything.

All he wants is for us to go and find Chiron.

Well, seems like he's got a lot of effort just to hurt Chiron.

Yeah, he could have hurt him here.

I think I know what this is about.

Everything was just fine when you came along.

I was the favorite!

Number one, me.

Ares.

Son of Zeus.

God of war.

Why can't you just leave me alone?

I don't like you.

Enjoy this.

Hey, having fun yet, little brother?

I sure am. Stick?

A sandal in it, Ares.

What do you say?

That'll leave Mark tomorrow.

You know, I wanted to do this since the day you were born.

I never dared dream it would be so...

What does Jerry want?

He wants me.

Okay. Now you guys know the plan.

Go in, get Chiron, get out. Yeah, we know the plan.

Okay.

Let's do it.

I think Ephesus needs to talk to his decorator.

Look, there's Chiron.

The candle's almost burned through the rope.

Are you okay?

So much for a quick rescue, huh?

Chiron!

I'm gonna come in, alright?

Am I in your way here?

I'm good.

Ares. Okay, here's how it works. You throw yourself into the wall of flame

let Tyron go.

Yeah, no.

You got real cozy with Hephaestus' special fire before, remember?

The special fire is too powerful.

It would destroy Hercules, but he wouldn't be that reckless.

Fire from the forge we were working.

Well, the gods can use it to change their hearts. But Hercules is half

That would burn him to ashes.

I want to change.

I want to be the son my father wants.

I want to devour life.

Like Zeus.

Like there's a...

You're not yourself anymore, Herc.

I'm the son of Zeus!

That's who I am.

I'm going to set the world on fire.

Let's discuss this like responsible... It's like he's on fire.

We've got to stop him.

This chain won't burn!

Hephaestus' special fire burns extra hot.

So, what's it going to be? You or Chiron?

Well, I don't have all day, little bro.

Well, actually, Chiron doesn't.

big rescue plan?

Oh, brother, you are three for three. Did Chiron teach you anything at that

loser school of his?

What can you teach a half -mortal mutt like you?

The rope is breaking!

It never is, is it?

Are you all right?

Yeah,

I'm fine.

Thanks to you.

The oldest.

Thank you. Thanks to all of you.

I could get into this life -saving thing.

You know, people just give you stuff.

Hooray!

Hooray! Hooray!

Hooray! I was hoping to speak to you three.

Sir, we just want to thank you for this wonderful honor.

And I'd like to remind you that your reports are late.

I expect them on my desk at sundown, not in the morning.

Oh, one more thing.

Thank you for saving my life.

Anytime.

No problem.

Thank you.

All right.

Hey, Ulyss, let me see your medal.

Bow down to the master.
