Hanna-Barbera's Hercules - Hades' Defeat

  • (Down in the Underworld, Hades throws a tantrum over the failure on Olympus. Pain and Panic dodge a blast of fire burning the map table, as the room is now in shreds.)
  • Hades: (ranting angrily) We were so close! So close. We tripped the finish line. Why? Because our little nut, Meg, has to go all noble.
  • (The three feel the earth shake, and Cerberus the three-headed dog breaks inside the room, with Hercules standing on top of his middle head.)
  • Hercules: (confronting Hades) Where's Meg?
  • Hades: Oh, look who's here. Wonderboy, you are too much.
  • Hercules grips Hades: Let her go.
  • Hades: Get a grip! Come here, come here. Let me show you around. (They walk around the Underworld) Hmph. Well, well. It's a small underworld after all, huh? (They come to the shore of a river. Hercules sees Meg in it.)
  • Hercules: Meg! Ahhh!
  • (His hands which he put into water turned old)
  • Hades: No, no, no. Mustn't touch. You see, Meg's running with a new crowd these days. And not a very lively one, at that.
  • Hercules: You like making deals. Take me in Meg's place.
  • Hades: Oh, well. The son of my hated rival was trapped forever in a river of death.
  • Hercules: One!
  • Hades: Hmm. Is there a downside to this?
  • Hercules: Two!
  • Hades: Okay, okay, okay, okay. You get her out - she goes, you stay. (Hercules dives) Oh, you know what slipped my mind? You'll be dead before you can get to her. That's not a problem, is it?
  • (Hercules swims, aging rapidly. Atropos goes to cut the thread of life, but it suddenly shines, and the scissors can't cut it.)
  • Atropos: Oh?
  • Lachesis: What's the matter with these scissors?
  • Clotho: The thread won't cut.
  • (At the same time, Hercules floats out from the river with Meg's soul and climbs up the cliff, holding Meg's soul in his arms, as he shines brightly.)
  • Hades: This is— this is impossible! You, you, you can't be alive! You'd have to be a, a—
  • Pain and Panic: A god?
  • (At last, Hercules has re-achieved his immortality, as Hades loses his temper, burning in flames as usual.)
  • Hades: Hercules, stop! You can't do this to me.
  • (Hercules hits Hades stronger, and he flies away into the river of death. Souls try to drown him.)
  • Hades: Eew! Get away from me! Don't touch me! Get your slimy souls off me! Ooh, ah—
  • Panic: He's not gonna be happy when he gets outta there.
  • Pain: You mean, if he gets outta there.
  • Panic: If. It is good.
  • Hades: Taxi! I don't feel so good, I feel a little flushed! (He disappears into the lakebed.)
