Upset, Hercules turns away from his mentor and returns to lifting weights. Phil stops, turns around, and faces Hercules, leaving him with one thing.

"I thought you were gonna be the all-time champ, not the all-time chump."

With Phil leaving the stadium, Hercules was crushed by his statement. Of course, he doesn't want to disappoint Phil, the only other person besides (y/n) who saw him for what he could be, even before he grew into his body and made a name for himself.

Regretting his actions, he looks at where his mentor once was contemplating chasing after him. Before he could put down the dumbbell, he was lifting, and all the fire in the stadium blew out in an ominous wisp. The voice is coming from the pole vaulting bar.

"Geez, Louise, what got his goat, huh?"

Hercules quickly looks up, and he's just confused about who this person with fiery hair is. That's when Hades makes one rotation before landing in front of Hercules, introducing himself and extending a handshake.

"Baboom, name is Hades, Lord of the dead. Hi, how ya' doin'?"

"Not now, okay?"

"Hey, hey, I only need a few seconds, and I'm a fast talker, all right? See, I've got this major deal in the works of real estate venture if he will, and here, you little devil, you may I call you Herc. You seem to be constantly getting in the way of it."

Hades pinches his cheek as Hercules slaps his hand and walks away. Hades doesn't give up and follows his tracks.

"You've got the wrong guy."

Pissed off by how calmly the young men brushed him off, he grabbed him by the collar before quickly. Let him go as he caught his anger.

"Hear me out, you little... just hear me out, okay, so I would be internally grateful if you would just take a day off from this hero business of yours. I mean, monsters, natural disasters. They can wait a day, okay?"

"You're out of your mind."

"Not so fast because, you see, I do have a little leverage she might want to know about."

Hades snaps his fingers, and Meg appears out of the plume of smoke. He tries to run and warn Hercules but is restrained and falls to the floor. Hercules rushes to him as soon as he gets to make Hades snap his fingers, and just as he appears, Meg is gone.

"Meg!"

"Don't listen, Herc..."

"Let him go!"

"Here's the trade-off: you give up your strength for about 24 hours, okay."

Hades snaps his fingers at Meg, who is still bound by the smoke in one of the rows of seats.
