Teaser

FADE IN: INT. ARES' TEMPLE - DAY HERCULES is being violently hurled around the room by various energy blasts from a delighted ARES. Ares: (CACKLING) You having fun yet, Little Bro? 'Cause I sure am! Hercules: Stuff a sandle in it, Ares. STRIFE and DISCORD observe from the corner like two sports commentators amid the blasting. Hercules hurtles past them from an energy blast. Strife: That's gotta hurt! Discord: Ares is the master. Strife: Ooh, that's gonna leave a mark tomorrow! Hercules is tossed like a rag doll by energy blasts. Even Discord and Strife are getting nervous. Ares: I've wanted to do this since the day you were born! I just never dreamed it could be so... satisfying! Hercules: (growing fear) Ares, wait! Ares: Aw, but I'm hogging all the fun. Discord? Strife? Now's your chance. Take your best shot. Strife: (anxiously) Ya know, Unc, not that I'm ever one to criticize, but, um, are you sure you don't want to lighten up just a teensy little bit here? Ares: Lighten up? I have Hercules exactly where I want him! Discord gingerly steps forward. Discord: But what about the protection order? You destroy Hercules and Zeus'll send you straight to Tartarus! With a wicked sneer, Ares shoots out another blast that sends Hercules crashing into a wall. Ares: I don't need to worry about Daddy's protection order anymore. Discord and Strife stand back, agape. Ares opens his hand to reveal three crystal shards (three of the five pieces that make up THE CHRONOS STONE). They glow with a special energy. STRIFE/DISCORD: (GASP) Pieces of the Chronos Stone! Ares: They've already made me stronger than I've ever been! Once I get my hands on the other two, I'll be in charge! Ares takes special aim as he readies to destroy Hercules. (NOTE: with the Chronos Stone, you hold it (or a shard) in one hand, and can shoot energy bolts from EITHER hand. The stone amplifies a god's powers, so the energy is coming from the god's body, not from the stone.) Ares: In the meantime
