Keep trying, lolaus.
Maybe next time you'll find one for your left foot, huh? I know what's for lunch, fillet of sole.
Yeah, very funny.
Aw.
Come here, little buddy.
Oh, I am the master.
Hey! I paid you to make this look like my daughter! You looked at your daughter lately? Next time, I'll give my business to Hephaestus! I know that voice.
Now, we'll really see who's the best! You know, guys, they don't look like rain clouds.
Hey, hey, hang on! I'm comin' to get you! Give me a hand.
Everything's gonna be fine.
Listen, who are you? I'm well, I I don't remember.
In an age of light and darkness, Zeus, king of the gods, ruled the universe.
He had a son.
Young Hercules.
Half-god, half-man, young Hercules longs to find his place in the world, the father he's never known, and what it means to be a hero.
Before the man became legend, before the legend became myth, came the greatest adventure of all.
This is good! I've never tasted anything like this before.
I hadn't either, until I came to the academy.
Uh, may I? Well, if you want it, Fish.
Fish? Yeah, we pulled him out of the pond.
We gotta call him something.
You did well.
Well, I couldn't just leave him there.
He doesn't even remember his name.
No man is without a past.
Someone'll come for him, or his memory will return.
Till then, I'm sure you'll take good care of him.
That was a nice one, buddy.
Are you okay? You were cryin' out in your sleep.
It was a bad dream.
I saw things.
I don't know.
What what kind of things did you see? Forge.
I I think I work there.
My mother thought it wasn't good enough, working with my hands, making things.
She threw me out.
Well, I, uh, I can't remember but I, uh, I think What? I wanted her to approve.
I wanted her to notice me.
I'm sure she will one day.
What about your dad? Father? Yeah.
Well, I, uh, I don't remember.
That's okay.
Cheiron says it'll come back to you, so, uh, just try and get some sleep, okay? Yes.
Sleep.
Let's go, cadets! Everybody hit the showers! Whoa, whoa, whoa, Fish, what are you doin', buddy? It's broken, you're wastin' your time.
Well, I, uh, I fixed it, made a few improvements, adjustments.
It'll work better now.
Why bother? Strictly for beginners, see? Oh, my hair! Ah ow! Well, well, make it stop! Come on, you guys! I can't.
Hang on, little buddy, I'm comin' in to getcha! Jason! Hey, help me! Oooh! Ah, Hercules! Oh! Come on, Hercules! Do something! No! Not the hair! Agh! Ooh! Thanks for the trim.
Where are you? You worthless piece of metalworking god-trash.
Did you hear? Simon's got rabies.
Hey, guys.
I've got something new on the menu that's gonna be a real moneymaker.
This place could sure use one.
What is it? Well, I haven't figured out what to call it yet, but it's made from these dried beans from Ethiopia.
Dried beans? That's, uh, that's great.
No, you don't understand.
You see, you grind the beans up, and then you boil it in water.
Ah, so it's bean soup.
No, no, because after it's boiled, you throw the ground beans away.
Ah, that's a waste.
And you drink the water.
You really think somebody's gonna pay to drink old bean water? Well, you add milk first.
Needs cinnamon.
Cinnamon, yeah.
Ah, I'm gonna take a wild stab in the dark here.
Have you been drinkin' a lot of that? Oh, yeah, a lot.
I-I-it's great.
Okay, let's get back to the academy, all right? Okay, you can open 'em.
Ta-da! I talked it over with Cheiron and, uh, we think you're gonna love it here, you know? There's always lots of stuff that needs fixin'.
So, um, Fish, you know that thing you made at Kora's? Yeah? How'd you do that? Well, it was easy.
Ideas come to me.
I look at something and I see what it could be.
You just kind of, see what it, could be, right.
Whew.
I've never known anyone that can see things like you, you know? It's like a like a gift from the gods or something.
Gods? I can't Fish, are you okay? Fish? You're no god, Hephaestus, no son of mine! You're nothing! I know my name, it's It's Heph Hephaest - Hephaes - Hephaestus? - Fish.
- Yeah? Is it Hephaestus? Hephaestus.
Huh, you're a god! But that means we're brothers! Fish, we're half-brothers! I knew there was something different about you! Run, run, come on, get out of here! There's Hephaestus! You coward! Can't hide from me now! Okay, first of all, who are you? Second of all, what do you want with Hephaestus? Out of my way, if you don't wanna get hurt.
My fight's with him! I don't wanna fight.
You'll have to go past me.
We'll see, boy.
We'll see! Run, go! Whoa! Hey, what is your problem? Oh ow! Hey, hey, hey! Tiny, over here, huh? Why don't you pick on someone your own size, huh? Huh? Come on.
Let's go.
You can't hide here forever! I'll be waiting for you! Who was Mr.
Congeniality? Oh, he was after Hephaestus.
Who? Hephaestus? Metalsmith of the gods, my half-brother.
Fish.
Fish is a god? Fish is a god.
Well, guess it takes all kinds.
Hey.
What you doing? Not much.
Listen, uh, why was that giant after you? His name's Argus.
He builds things, like me.
But he's sloppy, not very good.
Well, I guess he's jealous.
You remember everything now, don't you? Yeah, I've heard about you.
You're my brother, Hercules.
Half-brother.
Ares doesn't like you much.
Well, I'm not too crazy about him, either.
Listen, Hephaestus.
What happened? Why are you here? You won't tell anyone, will ya? No.
Hera threw me out, out of Olympus.
Why? Because I'm not like Ares.
Well, you should know, he's your brother, too.
All I wanna do is make things.
Hera said if I'm not gonna act like a god, I should live down here with mortals.
What about Zeus? What does he say? He says this is between Hera and me.
Doesn't he care? I don't know.
I I don't see him, much.
So, what're you gonna do? You know? You gonna go home? Back to Olympus? No, maybe Hera's right.
Maybe I don't deserve to be up there.
Psst.
Hercules.
Hercules, come here.
I'll be right back, okay? What do you want? What did he say? Hey, what's he doing here? Hera kicked him out of Olympus.
Ooh.
Yeah, he wants to stay here and start a new life.
Looks like we got the world's best metalsmith as a guest for a while.
Uh, Hercules? What? You got a problem with Heph stayin' here? No, but I think he does.
Hephaestus? Hephaestus.
There you are.
Hephaestus! Hephaestus, how come you just took off like that? You didn't even say goodbye.
I had to go.
If I stayed, the academy was in danger from Argus.
You don't even know where you're going, do you? It doesn't matter, anywhere I can live and build things.
You can build things on Olympus.
She threw me out? Hephaestus, maybe I'm luckier than you, all right? I I've never known my father, but, uh, I've always known that my mother loves me.
But Olympus is your home.
It's your home, as well as Hera's.
Now go home.
Make her accept you.
No, I can't go back.
There you are! Stand aside, boy! What are you trying to prove? You you're not gonna make your work as good as his.
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey! That's way out of line, Mister! Ooh! Hercules! What are you doing? You shoulda stayed out of this! No! Yes! All right, nice shot, Brother! Right.
Come on, slop artist! Call yourself a god? I'll melt you! You're not gettin' away this time! Oh, no.
All right, Hephaestus.
We make a good team.
I never fought anybody like that before.
Well, you stood up to Argus.
Glad to have ya as my brother.
And listen, who are you? Hephaestus.
No, Hera's son.
Say it.
I'm Hera's son.
That's right.
And don't let her forget it.
You're right.
It's not my fault she's disappointed in me.
And I can't be like Ares.
I've got to be my own kind of god.
I'm goin' back to Olympus.
Thanks, Hercules, for everything.
All right.
Oh, Hephaestus? Uh, you know, Zeus, does he, uh, does he ever talk about me? See you later, Fish.
