Zeus’ throne room, Olympus
Ace: Doesn’t look like anybody’s here.
RM552: Thank goodness for that. It’s squashed enough in here as it is, with all of us.
CJ: I hope Di and Brit are OK.
Wed: I’m sure they’re fine. Brit’s probably giving the gods a detailed briefing on the situation.
Vegi-La: Here they come now. They’re riding in a chariot. But I don’t see any gods with them.
RM552: [squinting into the distance, RM552 spots something with his enhanced vision] Not quite. I can see someone with them. A midget!?!
Britannica, Di Bat Pho and Hercules pull up in Helios’ chariot, disembark and walk up to Zeus’s throne room.
CJ: Brit! Di! Where have you been?
Brit: Hello everyone. Wow, it looks like you have all been very productive… Hang on! Mr. Misinformation and the IRG?!?
MM: Britannica.
CJ: Yeah, we’ve got a sort of truce going.
Brit: Hmmm…
Wed: But what happened with you? Where are the gods?
Brit: Chant must be worried. He banished the gods of Olympus.
Ace: Banished?
Brit: To the realm of the Teletubbies.
Everyone: That’s inhuman!
Brit: But fortunately we still have Hercules here [he indicates the lion of Olympus]
RM552: Are you sure? He’s a bit… [RM552 indicates Hercules small stature]
Hercules: I am indeed the son of Zeus, mortal.
Brit: Look we don’t have time for this. Trust me, this is Hercules. And while we may not have the gods to help us, we were able to find some of their weaponry.
Indeed Hercules is decked out in his Nemean Lion armour and club. He also carries Athena’s shield – Aegis. Artemis’ bow with a quiver full of Zeus’ lightning bolts are slung across his back. He has one of Ares’ battle-axes, strapped to one side of his waist and Hephaestos’ hammer on the other. Hermes’ caduceus is tucked into the front of his belt, with Poseidon’s trident strapped to his back. Somehow all this weaponry fits his size perfectly.
RM552: Well I guess it’ll do.
CJ: If Chant knows what we’re up to we’d better pick up Midnight, now.
Brit: No. Midnight’s day in the Room isn’t up yet. Even with all the help you guys have found, we are still short on power. We need to find our sidekick animals first. That’ll give Midnight a bit more training time. Then hopefully we can convince Dende and Popo to let him out early.
Ace: Um, could we use Helios’ chariot? Even with Tractor-Trailer Bob’s tractor, we’re still a bit… cosy.
Hercules: If it shall aid our cause, then it shall be thine.
Ace: Great. We better hook ‘em up, with the rest of our transports.
CJ: Let me give you a hand guys. I’m great with horses.
With preparations being made for their next departure, She-Chant notices Mr. Misinformation starring at Di Bat Pho.
She-Chant: Is everything OK, Snuggle pie?
MM: Hmm. Oh yes. Everything is… perfect...
