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

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

Hades is evil. Sophitia 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

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
