"Previously on Young Hercules:" "We've finally found a place we can call our own." "We can finally be at peace." "I'm really happy for you, Cyane." "Help!" "The beasts attacked and dragged them away!" "Who did this?" "Centaurs!" "I know of no such attack." "You see?" "It has ever been so between the Amazons and us." "Their cunning against our strength." "They accuse us of the very crimes that they commit." "What?" "Lilith!" "My plan is working perfectly." "They're suffering." "Uncle Ares is gonna be so pleased with us!" "You must go." "You must go find Cheiron and tell him that the attacks must cease, and restitution be paid, or there will be war!" "Somethin' doesn't add up here." "If I only had enough time to figure this all out." "What if you don't?" "Then two people that I care about are gonna spend tomorrow trying to destroy each other." "This war is on!" "Now, on Young Hercules:" "The Amazons think the Centaurs have attacked them, and the Centaurs think the Amazons attacked them." "Mortals are so clueless." "I love it when my plans cause pain." "My plan." "Okay, our plan." "I feel gloriously loathsome." "Uncle Ares is gonna be so..." "What the...?" "Very, very upset." "What's your problem?" "You know, I bet he hates your little scheme." "No, it's not bad, except for one tiny detail." "Let me guess... the Amazons." "Who said you could mess with my favorite mortals?" "Maybe next time, you'll listen to me." "Okay, so maybe Strife did get a little carried away." "But after all, the last time I checked, dear brother, you were the god of war." "Swords, spears, mayhem." "I mean, all that great war stuff." "Isn't that worth a few Amazons?" "Hmm." "War." "Amazons." "Amazons, war." "War is good." "Okay, carry on, but guys, one last thing." "Oh, um, uh, uh, be sure to wash your hands after every conquest." "Hercules!" "That sniveling, half-mortal spawn of Zeus," "Daddy's coddled favorite." "That you despise?" "Don't... and let me repeat this..." "Don't underestimate Hercules." "Okay." "I'm way ahead of you." "Our miserable little half-brother's about to be history." "You haven't said a word in the last two miles." "Cheiron's only given the Amazons until dawn tomorrow to get out of Centaur territory." "This is Amazon land now!" "And we aren't gonna be chased off by anyone." "If the Centaurs want a war, then fine, we'll give 'em one!" "There's got to be a better way, Lilith." "There isn't!" "They've been hunting us down, and all we wanna do is live in peace!" "The Centaurs say the Amazons have been doing the same thing to them!" "Oh, and you believe them?" "I just don't wanna see people I care about die!" "That's not true!" "You're just taking that Centaur's side!" "His name is Cheiron!" "He used to mean something to you, Lilith!" "He was more than just a teacher to you, he cared about you!" "Lilith!" "Lilith!" "Lilith?" "Centaur tracks." "Okay, so let me get this straight." "You're deep inside Centaur territory." "Lilith is suddenly missing." "There are Centaur tracks all over her last known location, but the Centaurs are innocent." "Herc, what's wrong with this picture?" "What's wrong with this picture is that no one's looking at the whole picture." "Somebody planted those tracks." "What, with their handy-dandy, little hoofprint-makers?" "We both know that Cheiron's too honorable to lie." "He wouldn't know where to start." "I haven't known Cyane very long, but I know that she wouldn't lie to send her people into battle." "Yeah, but they both can't be telling the truth." "Whoever took Lilith left scorch marks on a tree branch." "The Amazons don't fight with fire." "Neither do the Centaurs." "So, it's gotta be..." "A setup, that's right." "See, she's gotta listen to us now." "Lilith was from your own academy." "Your blood should boil to avenge her." "Don't you see?" "Now, somebody wants this rage." "Yeah, someone wants this war." "Who... do ya have proof?" "Of course the boys don't." "The Centaur leader is their teacher!" "He probably betrayed Lilith himself!" "All I ask is that you talk to Cheiron about what's really goin' on here, before you start something that you won't be able to stop!" "Don't lecture me about war!" "You may play at it in a schoolyard, but I've seen the real thing, okay?" "Then you know exactly how important it is to find another way!" "There is no other way!" "It has ever been so between the Centaurs and us." "Their cunning against our strength, their lies against our truth." "They accuse us of the very crimes that they commit!" "Where have I heard that before?" "I say there is only one way to deal with Centaurs!" "War." "My first duty is to my people." "We attack at dawn." "Yes." "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." "I don't know what to do." "You know?" "Both sides are so blinded by hate and distrust, that they won't listen." "Well, you know, if you wanna trick someone, you make them so angry, they can't think straight, and sure, they'd do anything you want." "I think someone on both sides knows your trick." "Where are you going?" "I may be able to stop this, but if I'm not back by dawn..." "Back?" "Back from where?" "Stay here, and do anything you can to stop this war!" "What?" "Looking for me?" "Yah!" "How is it that an Amazon and a Centaur speak the exact same words?" "When trying to start a war?" "Get a clue, Bro." "I'm Discord, the half-sister you're gonna wish you never had." "Sister?" "How big a family do I have?" "Well, just wait till Cyane finds out, Sis." "And how's that supposed to happen?" "It'll be a trusted Amazon's word against yours." "Where are the missing Amazons and Centaurs?" "Where?" "!" "Okay, just back off!" "They're in the cavern of Hephaestus' torch!" "But you'll never free them and get back by dawn." "We'll see about that!" "Just wait till Uncle Ares finds out that you've got a big mouth!" "You mean, that I've just sent Hercules to his doom?" "Uh-huh." "Phew." "I think I can take the heat." "Lilith!" "Cavil?" "Yeah?" "Okay." "Hi." "Lilith." "Hercules, how did you find us?" "A little goddess told me." "Hephaestus sure does do solid work." "Listen, is there a key?" "Yeah." "Uh-oh." "Hercules, look out!" "I knew Discord gave up too easily." "Look out!" "Hercules!" "Remember what Cheiron said!" "Attack the archer, not the arrow!" "Right." "Thanks for the tip." "Looks like you were right all along." "Ahh." "Maybe you cadets aren't such a lame bunch after all." "Well, not all of us, anyway." "Your squad will destroy the Centaur rear guard, and then drive their main body into the woods." "Cyane, the boy, lolaus, requests an audience." "Hercules is not in camp." "Has his loyalty to Cheiron led him to change sides?" "Hercules doesn't have a side." "Cyane, please listen to me." "Look, I know a con when I see one, and this has "setup" chiseled all over it." "Your Majesty!" "The Centaur scouts have taken the field." "You gotta give Herc more time." "Come on, he's a good guy, and he cares a lot about you." "Put him somewhere." "Wait, Cyane!" "Cyane, it's not too late!" "Don't do this!" "You're makin' a mistake!" "Begin the attack!" "Steady, Brothers." "Amazons!" "Archers, release!" "Release!" "Again!" "Take a squad and stop those archers!" "We can't let them force us into the trees, where the Amazons have the advantage!" "Go!" "Take care!" "The advance guard is already in position!" "Half of you attack." "Force them this way." "That was some quick thinking' back there." "So, I'm a good warrior, huh?" "Well, that's what you wanted." "I was so excited when I joined the Amazons." "I mean, they were real warriors!" "And, you know, they accepted me." "A sword or an arrow solved every problem." "It's never that easy." "I'll destroy you for what you've done to my people, Cheiron." "Your lies will stain the honor of this battlefield!" "Leave, or face obliteration!" "Never!" "Wow." "Look at them go at each other." "You know what?" "The destruction of one leader at the hand of the other might be just the touch we need." "Of course!" "That means the losing side would never, you know, make peace." "So, who wins?" "Leave these lands forever, Cheiron, or breathe your last." "Kill me, and another Centaur will take my place." "Injustice cannot abide." "Cyane!" "Is it my imagination, or is your doomed half-brother still alive?" "I can prove that you've been tricked!" "Stop fighting and listen!" ""Stop fighting."" "Don't listen to him!" "We must avenge our dead sisters!" "You mean us?" "No, it's just a scratch." "You'll be okay." "Oh, where did you get those fakes?" "What?" "Don't ask." "I think they're onto us." "Well, they are now." "You really blew it this time." "Oh, me!" "Well, you wait until I tell Uncle Ares that "Little Miss Drama Goddess"" "spilled the beans to Hercules!" "If you live that long." "Start talkin', and make it good!" "Hungry?" "Ah, thanks." "Well, it seems like we're always saying goodbye, huh?" "Well, it doesn't..." "It doesn't have to be that way." "You know I can't stay." "I have to go back with Cheiron, and you have to lead your people." "You have the heart of an Amazon." "I pray our paths will cross again." "You know, since the Fates haven't allowed us much time, we should probably use it quite wisely." "Really." " Mmm." " Mm-hmm." " Mmm." " Mmm." "Hey, um, Herc... whoa!" " Oh, uh..." " Ooh!" "Iolaus." " Yeah." " Well, this is awkward." "You know, we, uh, really should talk about your timing," " you know?" " Yeah." "Sorry, but, uh, Cheiron wants to see ya." "Uh-huh." "Sometimes, emotions cloud reason." "And even a teacher forgets lessons he's taught for so long." "You reminded me of them, and I thank you." "Hey, you guys?" "Hey, you aren't leaving without me, were you?" "You're going back to the academy?" "Yeah." "That's great." "Yeah, well, there may be a few things left for Cheiron to teach me." "Hey, I understand what you meant now." "I mean, I'll never be one of the boys, but, well, being different isn't always bad." "It can be your burden or your strength." "It's up to you." "Herc!" "Can't we stay a little longer?" "Please, I mean, I really think I can learn a lot from the Amazons, you know?" "Like, I think I could really fit in here." "Well, I hate to tell you this, lolaus, but you'd never pass the physical."
