Chapter 34
After watching Hercules do every good deed in his quest to become a true hero Hades was very upset by all of this
Hades yells and causes a small earthquake in the area
Whoa. Lobo said
That was intense. Vilgax said
Sorry. I needed to blow off some steam. Hades said
Yeah. Lobo said
Clearly. Vilgax said
Anyway. Did you two take care of those other people? Hades said
Nope. Lobo said
Nope? Hades said
Yeah. Nope. Lobo said
What do you mean nope? Hades said
Well uh... Lobo said
Yeah? Hades said
Uh... Lobo said
Yeah? Hades said
We failed. Vilgax said
What? Hades said
I said we failed. Vilgax said
Failed? Hades said
Yes. Vilgax said
So they're... Hades said
Alive? Yes. Vilgax said
Are you kidding me? Hades said
Yeah. Lobo said
We are sorry. Vilgax said
Are you kidding me? Hades said
Well well well. Meg said
What? Hades said
Looks like your game's over. Meg said
Excuse me? Hades said
Wonderboy is hitting every curve you throw at him. Meg said
Really? Hades said
Yeah. Really. Meg said
Oh yeah. Hades said
What? Meg said
I wonder if maybe i haven't been throwing the right curves at him. Hades said
What? Meg said
Meg, my sweet. Hades said
Don't even go there. Meg said
There's gotta be something. Lobo said
Maybe he has a weakness? Vilgax said
Weakness? Hades said
Yes. Vilgax said
That's it. Hades said
I'm sorry what now? Meg said
He has a weakness. Hades said
Really? Meg said
Yeah. Hades said
No way. Meg said
See, he's gotta have a weakness, because everybody's got a weakness. Hades said
Again. Really? Meg said
Yeah. Hades said
Example? Meg said
I mean for what? Pandora, it was the box thing, for the Trojans, hey, they bet on the wrong horse, okay? Hades said
What's your point? Meg said
We simply need to find out Wonderboy's. Hades said
So you wanna know his weakness huh? Meg said
Yeah. Lobo said
Of course. Vilgax said
Obviously. Hades said
No way. Meg said
What? Hades said
I've done my part. Get your little imps... Meg said
They couldn't handle him as a baby. Hades said
So? Meg said
I need someone who can...handle him as a man. Hades said
And that's me huh? Meg said
Exactly. Hades said
Not gonna happen. Meg said
Oh come on. Hades said
Hey, i've sworn off manhandling. Meg said
Well, you know, that's good because that's what got you into the jam in the first place, isn't it? Hades said
Wait...she did something? Lobo said
You could say that. Hades said
What is it? Lobo said
I have a story for you guys. Hades said
A story? Lobo said
Yeah. Hades said
Tell us. Lobo said
I want to hear it as well. Vilgax said
Okay. Hades said
Please don't tell them the story. Meg said
Too bad. I'm telling them and you should hear it as well. Hades said
(Groans) Meg groaned
You remember don't you Meg? Hades said
Yeah. I do. Meg said
You sold your soul to me to save your boyfriend's life. Hades said
Stop. Meg said
And how does this creep thank you? Hades said
Stop. Meg said
By running off with some babe. Hades said
(Groans) Meg groaned
That's pathetic. Lobo said
Very pathetic. Vilgax said
Yeah, it is. Hades said
Did you really have to tell them the story? Meg said
Yeah. They're cool. And besides... Hades said
Besides what? Meg said
He hurt you real bad, didn't he, Meg? Huh? Hades said
Look, i learned my lesson, okay? Meg said
Which is exactly why i got a feelin' you're gonna leap at my new offer. Hades said
Which is? Meg said
You give me the key to bringing down wonder breath and i give you the thing that you crave most in the entire cosmos. Hades said
What's that? Meg said
Hades then whispers two words to Meg's ear
Your freedom. Hades said
Meg drops a pot after hearing what Hades said
Seriously? Meg said
Yeah. Hades said
My freedom? Meg said
Yeah. Hades said
You're kidding. Meg said
I'm not kidding. I'm serious. Hades said
Oh. Meg said
So what do you say? Hades said
(Sighs) Meg sighed
You find Wonderboy's weakness and i'll let you. Hades said
(Sighs) Meg sighed
Come on. Hades said
Meg thought about it for a moment until she decided
Alright. I'll do it. Meg said
Great. Hades said
But after this, we're done. Okay? Meg said
Of course. Hades said
So where is he? Meg said
He's probably at some fancy house or something. Hades said
Alright. I'll go with that. Meg said
Good luck. Hades said
Whatever. Meg said
Meg then left to go find Hercules and find his weakness
So if she finds his weakness. You're gonna let her go? Lobo said
Yup. Hades said
Are you sure? Vilgax said
Of course. Hades said
Meanwhile
The Warriors were with Hercules at the Temple of Zeus as Hercules was telling one of his stories
You should have been there, father! Hercules said
Really? the Statue of Zeus said
Yeah. Hercules said
Tell me the story. the Statue of Zeus said
I mangled the minotaur. Hercules said
Uh-huh. the Statue of Zeus said
Grappled with the Gorgon. Hercules said
Uh-huh. the Statue of Zeus said
Just like Phil told me, i analyzed the situation. Hercules said
Yeah? the Statue of Zeus said
Controlled my strength and kicked! Hercules said
Hercules pretended to punch Pegasus who fell into the water fountain
Wow. the Statue of Zeus said
The crowds went wild! Thank you, thank you. Hercules said
Is this true? the Statue of Zeus said
Yeah. Hercules said
What about all of you? the Statue of Zeus said
Totally. Punk said
Yes. Batman said
Of course. Sophitia said
Hulk saw it all happen. Hulk said
Hah! You're doin' great, son. You're doin' your old man proud! the Statue of Zeus said
I am glad to hear you say that, father. Hercules said
You're welcome. the Statue of Zeus said
I've been waiting for this day a long time. Hercules said
Day? the Statue of Zeus said
Yeah. Hercules said
He has been waiting. Sophitia said
Hmm...what day is that, son? the Statue of Zeus said
You don't remember? Hercules said
Nope. the Statue of Zeus said
The day i rejoin the gods. Hercules said
Oh yeah. the Statue of Zeus said
Well? Hercules said
You've done wonderfully, you really have, my boy. the Statue of Zeus said
Thanks. Hercules said
You're just not there yet. the Statue of Zeus said
What? Hercules said
What? the others said
You haven't proved yourself a true hero. the Statue of Zeus said
But father, i've beaten every single monster i've come up against. Hercules said
I know. the Statue of Zeus said
I'm-I'm the most famous person in all of Greece. Hercules said
I know. the Statue of Zeus said
I'm-I'm an action figure! Hercules said
Hercules pulled out an action figure of himself and made it flex
Again. I know. the Statue of Zeus said
Then why? Hercules said
I'm afraid being famous is not the same as being a true hero. the Statue of Zeus said
What more can i do? Hercules said
It's something you have to discover for yourself. the Statue of Zeus said
Myself? Hercules said
Yes. the Statue of Zeus said
Hercules has to discover what it takes to become a true hero but what could it possibly be stay tuned
