"Wait," said a confused Hercules "What do you mean..." Before Hercules could finish, Thor had hit him hard with his hammer, sending him flying into a wall. Thor charged at him to strike again, but Herc grabbed him by the arm and tossed him back. Herc jump into the air to do a body slam, but Thor's hammer gets charged with electricity and he bashes Herc aside into a stand.

"Hey, Hey, Hey! Watch the merchandise!" shouted Phil as he was trying to catch the falling vases and busts. Herc then got up and made a high jump and landed near Thor by punching the ground, making a shock-wave that blew the asgardian back. Thor got up and charged at Hercules. Herc tried to head-butt the thunder-god, but was smacked by Thor's Hammer. Thor tackled him and they both started to wrestle. This kept going on until Phil caught up with them, carry a bust of Zeus.

"Whoa, time out!" He shouted, as both Herc and Thor finally stopped. "Could you just tell us what's going on?"

"I believe I can answer that." said a booming voice. Beside Thor materialized Odin's head, which was transparent and had a gold aura. "He is here, because my son was challenged."

"Challenged, by who?" Just then, the bust sparked with electricity, coming to life.

"By me." Said Zeus, talking through the bust.

"Zeus, it has been a long time." Said Odin, not sounding very thrilled.

"Not long enough, Odin."

"Wait, that's Odin?" Asked Herc "As in king of the Norse gods, Odin."

"The one and the Same." Odin replied. "Your loud mouth of a father had the nerve to say that my son was inferior to you."

"Let me guess," said Phil. "Your son is Blondie here."

"Do not mock me goatman," Thor answered, pointing his hammer at Phil. "For I am Thor, God of thunder and strength, slayer of giants, the eagle of Asgard, and strongest warrior of all the nine realms."

"Well you haven't met our boy Hercules. Son of Zeus, hero of Greece, and the..." Phil looked around and spotted a lion pelt hanging on the wall. "...The lion of Olympus."

"He may be famous here," said Thor "But we shall see who is mightier."

"Does this have to be now?" Herc asked "Phil and I have to get things ready for the heroes' tournament."

"A tournament? For heroes? Well then, I shall enter this tournament and finish thou in the arena."

"Whoa, Goldilocks." said Phil "The rules say only mortals, demigods, and monsters can enter the tournament. Gods have WAY too much of an advantage."

"It is just like you, Zeus," Odin responded "Hiding your children behind technicalities, so they will not fight their superiors."

"My son can beat anybody, mortal or immortal!" Zeus snapped, "Phil, tell the officials that for this year only, gods can enter the tournament. Just so Hercules can cream Mr. Wednesday's pretty boy."

"Then it is settled." Odin respond, then turned to Thor. "Come my son. Let us prepair for the defeat of this Lion of Olympus." And in a flash of lightning, both of them were gone.

"Lion of Olympus?" Herc said to Phil.

"Hey, he called himself an eagle."

We now see Hades in his palace in the underworld. He had just watched the whole thing from a mirror on the wall. At his side was Gyro.

"Smooth move, genius." Hades said. "Your plan was supposed to kill them."

"Patience, Lord Hades." Replied Gyro, who in a flash of light revealed his true identity. He wore yellow over green clothes, had a long black hair in a pony tail, a gold headband with decorative gazelle horns, and carried a gold staff topped with a pinkish purple gem. If you haven't guessed by now, this was Loki, the Norse god of mischief and lies. "This is merely a delay. Once those fools start fighting each other, we'll begin our real plan.

"Offing the wonderboys isn't our real plan?"

"Oh, they'll be offed. But it will be by some old friends of yours."
