No.

No. I'm late.

Uh -huh. Oh, yeah.

Let's just talk about this, okay?

Having fun yet, little brother?

I sure am. Stick a sandal in it, Ares.

What do you say?

That'll leave a mark tomorrow.

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

I never dared dream it would be so satisfying.

I don't mean to be critical, Unc, but don't you think you should just lighten

up?

Tinsy little bit.

Lighten up?

There's no lightning.

I have Hercules exactly where I want him.

But what about the protection order?

You destroy Hercules and Zeus will send you straight to Tartarus.

Yes. Yes.

See? I don't need to worry about Daddy's protection order anymore.

These have made me more powerful than I've ever been.

Once I get the other two, I'll be in charge.

Oh, I'm really, I mean really getting the idea.

Uncle Harry?

Hey, Unc.

Here's your double -double ambrosia cider fry.

You interrupted me!

Oh, I was having the nicest daydream about my plans for the Cronus Stone.

pieces of the chronostone.

Where does that come from?

It took me eight hundred years to find the first two pieces.

Zeus decreed that the pieces of the chronostone would be powerless unless

received each one freely from the hands of a mortal. Now do you know how hard

that is?

Come on, Uncle, with your winning personality and good old -fashioned

skills.

The third piece may be within my grasp.

Oh, joy.

Some dusty roadside inn prized in a mortal talent contest, if you believe

But you just said, if you grab it, the thing won't work. And if you order a

mortal to give it to you, it still won't work.

Ah.

But if I win, it will.

You're willing to mix with mortals? Whatever it takes to get my hand on that

crystal.

Oh, gosh.

People sure have shelled out for this prize, bastard, huh? Yeah. There you go.

Crystal paperweight.

Some bad stuff?

Oh, yeah.

Goat jerky? Yeah.

Ah.

No. No, no, no.

Listen, if you want to win them, you're getting out of the contest.

Yeah, like I'm going to sing in front of all those people. Yeah, but I pretty

think you can.

No,

no. In the shower, maybe, but I'm not going to get naked for anything. Believe

me.

Eola, can you help me get some more chairs? I don't know where all these

are coming from.

I'd love to, Cora. Really.

She likes me.

They must kill you.

Oh, hi.

You must be here for the talent contest.

Can I get your name?

Ares. Ares, right.

And your occupation?

God of War. God of War.

What are you doing here?

Like you said, I'm here for the talent contest.

Three guesses who's going to win. The first two don't count.

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 men, came the greatest

adventure of all.

The God of War wants to enter a mortal talent contest. Now, what's wrong with

this picture? What? Don't you think I got enough talent?

I think you do, yeah.

We're starting wars and ruining people's lives.

Oh, stop. You're embarrassing me now.

So, this is what passes for art around here.

You got a problem with that, Stripe?

All right, listen.

Whatever you guys came in here to start, we can finish outside, all right? Like

it's always about you.

Isn't it?

Why are you guys here?

I have come here to enter a talent contest now.

If you'll excuse me, I must go warm up.

Big problem. Yeah, no kidding. A talent quiz with no talent. The crowd is

starting to get ugly.

Uh, no.

Guess who just signed in?

Ares. Are you kidding? Ares, that's kind of cute, like the god of war.

No, no, not like. Is.

You see, Ares is here, right here, right now, with Stripe and Discord.

Exciting, isn't it?

Ares.

My old boss.

All I want to do is join in your little talent show.

I don't believe you.

Listen, Toots, you give me one minute on that stage, I'll show you how serious I

am.

Well, I can't exactly kick out the god of war, now can I? Good.

So, it's settled then.

You know, Strife, about this Corona Stone, I've been thinking...

You think he... Oh,

you're serious.

I hate mimes.

Let me handle this.

We know Ares has talent to burn.

But mortals are... Well, they're mortal.

No accounting for taste.

Your point being?

What if we helped Ares really sell his number?

You know? Add a touch of...

Give him the old rebel devil.

And do what? Give Ares a reason to blow us away? Work with me here.

If we push him over the top, then he doesn't win.

The three of us win.

She's good.

Can't have that.

And let's hear it for the amazing Amarna.

Great, yeah.

Coming up next, we have a very unusual act for you here, Koros. Let's give a

great big warm welcome to...

Don't think of me as the god of war. Think of me as the king of swing.

Hit it, boys.

One, two, one, two, three, four.

Doesn't make any sense, all right? What is there he's doing up there?

John Harris, look back. I'm ready to fly.

I'm here for the ride.

I am the proud one to play.

Kitty, kitty, come on, let's play.

Well, actually, he's rocking the house.

Maybe he wants to win that prize basket.

Maybe they're at a go -jerk in Mount Olympus.

You ask yourself, why do you love me?

Scream and shout.

I think you know no one's above me.

And if you don't, I'll give you something to cry all about.

Gonna rock you. Gonna take you all around.

Gonna take you. Gonna break you.

Gonna turn you upside down.

Gonna slam you. Gonna jam you. Gonna burn you.

Okay, we got some goat jerky and, uh, some cheese.

Yeah.

Oh, we got this crystal paperweight heater and, uh... Do that again?

Do what? Make it glow.

What?

Hey, you didn't do that when I picked it up. Must be because you're part god,

huh?

Okay.

Okay.

This. This is why Ares is here.

He wants that crystal.

I'm only a half -god, and look what it does for me. Imagine what could happen

he gets his hands on it.

Well, I guess we're going to find out. He's got this contest nailed.

Well, no. Listen, we can't let him win. Well, we can't stop him. He's really

good. We have to.

Yo!

Sorry.

I'm sorry.

Are you okay?

I am fine.

Hi, Uncle. We're only trying to help.

Congratulations,

you won. Now take your bow and go.

People, people.

It looks like we have a winner.

What? No, no.

There's another act.

And it's us. Oh, whoa.

What do you mean, us? I mean you singing and me playing. Oh.

Yola, if we don't do anything, Ares will win, okay? But, but, but, but, but,

but, but, but, no!

Sorry.

Bring it on, pretty boy.

Excuse me, sorry.

Your microphone, Yola.

So what, you figure you're part of the act, you get part of the prize?

Listen up, kids, it ain't gonna happen. Come on, be reasonable.

We had the place rocking.

Rocking? I'll show you rocking. But maybe we'll just leave now.

One, two, three, four.

Look out, you might drown.

That's okay, I can deal with it.

Got my friends all around me.

And we're gonna have a good time.

Gonna make a little noise. Gonna get this with my voice. Gonna shake it all

around. Take it downtown.

Have a little bit of fun. Gotta grab it on the run. Cause when the morning

comes, you'll be up and gone.

Here and now, I've got to say the simple truth will go.

It was yesterday.

Maybe that's because it happened last week.

You pulled me over at me. My rights didn't bother me then, but now I'm

sleep.

I'm sure it's already over.

She'll walk up and slam the door.

She says, we're just getting started.

Come a little closer. It's going to take some time. For us to come together,

then we'll be just fine. Gotta admit, it's getting better in every way.

Thank you. Thank

you.

Please. Oh, we're moving. We're moving.

Thank you very much.

Well, what a show. Let's hear it for all our contestants.

And now for the winner. It's down to two. Do you love Ares, the god of war?

can still have first pick i want the crystal yeah you looking for this

give it to me no no because you haven't said the magic word oh i'm

sorry um how about uh all

right

that's it

So very cool. He almost stepped out of it.

So, you finally got a bit of juice.

Well, let's see if I can't squeeze it out of you.

Oh, yeah?

Typical. You don't know what you got, you don't know how to use it.

That's not important to me. What's important is the fact that I've got it

you don't.

That's wrong.

Oh, yeah?

You want to play rough? Well, you can say hello to my little friend, mister.

That is so you.

Get your hands on the cronut, though. You can't hit what you're aiming at.

No, I can.

And I did.

Hey, what's the Kronos Stone?

It gave my father the strength to defeat the Titans.

No one in Ares wanted it so bad, huh? Well, he's going to have to find it

No!

Yes!

This is not over, Hercules.

It never is.

Could someone please tell me what just happened here?

Well, we can try, but... While you help me clean up.

Hey, I bet it was fun, huh? When it lasted, the power thing?

Yeah.

Kind of like the power I exhibited when I was on stage.

What? The song and I became one, man. I was toying with the audience. They were

like putty in my hands.

It wasn't actually fair to the other competitors.

All the other competitors messed up.

No, no, no, no.

That's what they're telling themselves to hide the pain of losing to me, losing

to my beautiful performance.

I think I'm going to change my name. I need, like, a stage name.

Like, uh, like the king.

Huh? I think the king has a certain ring to it.
