Hercules makes a deal with Hades that if he can get Meg out of the pool of souls he will live but if he gets Meg out and doesn't get himself out he'll take Meg's place instead but it will not matter anyway as he told Hercules he will die either way

Okay then what is it? Hades said

Take me in Meg's place. Hercules said

What? the others said

Yeah i agree with your friends. What? Hades said

I want you to let Meg go and take me instead. Hercules said

And why would i do that? Hades said

It could be your chance to get rid of me. Hercules said

What? Hades said

I mean isn't that what you wanted? To get rid of me so you can rule the cosmos? Hercules said

Yeah i do want that. I mean once i get rid of you i will rule the cosmos and take my place on Olympus. Hades said

Exactly. So what do you say? Hercules said

Let me think about it for a bit and i'll get back to you. Hades said

Sure. Take your time. Hercules said

Thank you. Hades said

Hercules approached the gang and talked with them

Are you crazy? Punk said

Crazy? No why? Hercules said

You're making a deal with Hades. Punk said

Yeah i am. What's wrong with that? Hercules said

Hades is evil. Sophitia said

I know. Hercules said

Then why are you making a deal with him? Sophitia said

Because i got a plan. Hercules said

What? Sophitia said

What plan? Punk said

I'm gonna go dive in the pool of souls to get Meg. Hercules said

You can't do that. Sophitia said

Why not? Hercules said

Because you'll be killed. Sophitia said

Yeah dude that's suicide. Punk said

Maybe...but i have to do it...for Meg. Hercules said

Are you sure? Batman said

Yes. Meg risked her life to save me. Now it's my turn to save her. Hercules said

Alright then go ahead. Batman said

Good luck in there. Punk said

Be careful Hercules. Sophitia said

Yes. Hades said

So will you let go in? Hercules said

Of course. Hades said

Great then i'll just... Hercules said

But i still don't get it. Hades said

Get what? Hercules said

The son of my hated rival trapped forever in a river of death. Hades said

You don't get that? Punk said

No i don't. Hades said

Can i still go in? Hercules said

I don't know it's just...too easy. Hades said

Too easy? Hercules said

Yeah. You going in there to save your girlfriend is just too easy. Hades said

I don't care i'm still going in. Any objections? Hercules said

Hmm. Hades said

Going once! Hercules said

Hmm. Is there a downside to this? Hades said

Going twice! Hercules said

Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay! You get her out she goes...but you stay. Hades said

That's fine with me. Hercules said

Perfect. Hades said

Dude again good luck. Punk said

Go get Meg. Batman said

Be careful. Sophitia said

Thanks guys. Wish me luck. Hercules said

Hercules then dives into the pool of souls to get Meg out

Oh, you know what slipped my mind? You'll be dead before you can get to her. That's not a problem is it? Hades said

What is wrong with you? Sophitia said

Yeah dude seriously? Punk said

Hey just calling it like i see it. I mean he's gonna die. Hades said

No he won't. Batman said

Why? Hades said

Because he will live. Batman said

You really think he's gonna live? Hades said

Yes. I do. Batman said

Alright then i guess we'll find out. Hades said

Yes we will. Batman said

Hercules swims aging rapidly while trying to reach Meg Atropos tries to cut the thread of life but it suddenly shines and the scissors can't cut it

Oh? Atropos said

What's the matter with these scissors? Lachesis said

The thread won't cut. Clotho said

What? Lachesis said

Boom i win. He's dead. Hades still rules. Hades said

Holy crap. Punk said

Oh no. Sophitia said

Oh yes. He's gone and i won. Hercules is dead. Hades said

No he isn't. Batman said

Excuse me? Hades said

Hercules isn't dead. Batman said

What? Punk said

Really? Is he alive? Sophitia said

Yes. Batman said

No way. There is no way he's alive. He's dead. Hades said

No Hercules is alive. Batman said

And how do you know that? Hades said

Just look. Batman said

The others and Hades saw Hercules floating out from the pool with Meg's soul and climbed up the cliff holding Meg's soul in his arms as he shines brightly

This is...this is impossible! You, you, you can't be alive! You'd have to be a...a... Hades said

A god? Pain and Panic both said

The gang looked on as at last Hercules had re-achieved his immortality and was a god again and Hades loses his temper burning in flames as usual

Whoa. Punk said

Hercules are you really...? Sophitia said

A god? Yes i am. Hercules said

Amazing. Sophitia said

It looks like you became a true hero. Batman said

Sure did. But not a full one yet. Hercules said

What do you mean? Sophitia said

Wait is that...? Punk said

Yeah. It's Meg's soul. Hercules said

What are you going to do with it? Punk said

Simple. I'm going to put it in Meg's body and she'll come back to life. Hercules said

Really? Sophitia said

Yes. Hercules said

That's good. Sophitia said

You better believe it is. Hercules said

So when should we do it? Sophitia said

Right now. Hercules said

Right now? Sophitia said

Yeah. Right now. Hercules said

Okay then let's go and do it. Punk said

The gang then leaves to go put Meg's soul in her body while Hades was trying to stop them

Hercules, stop! You can't do this to me. You can't... Hades said

Hercules hits Hades in the face

Fine, okay, listen. Hah! Okay, well, I deserved that. Hades said

Yeah, you do. Hercules said

Herc, Herc, Herc. Can we talk? Y-Your dad, he's a fun guy, right? Hades said

Yeah? Hercules said

So maybe you could put in a word with him and he'd kinda blow this whole thing off, you know? Hades said

No. Hercules said

Come on, please? I'm begging you. I mean Meg, Meg, talk to him, a little schmooze. Hades said

Hercules was getting a little annoyed with Hades as he punches and sends him flying into the pool of souls while the souls try to drown him

Hey! Hey! Get away from me! Don't touch me! Get your slimy souls off me! Hades said

He's not gonna be happy when he gets outta there. Panic said

You mean IF he gets outta there. Pain said

IF? If is good. Panic said

Taxi! I don't feel so good. I feel a little flushed! Hades said

It looks like Hades just got flushed down get it cause he was flushed like a toilet but anyway Hercules has gotten Meg's soul and he and the others are leaving the underworld and going outside to put it back in her body what will happen next stay tuned
