Hercules was doing good at first until the thugs get the upperhand. One of them was able to kick him in his chest, and another two kicked him in his back. The hero stands up holding his abdomen in pain, the thugs were about to finish him off when a mysterious stranger drops in and lends a hand to Hercules.
The fight ends and the guys exchange introductions. The stranger says his name is Lucius, son of Zeus, Hercules' half-brother.
Hercules brings Lucius to Kora's and introduces him to Iolaus and Lilith. Lucius tells a whole bunch of stories. One about Zeus kicking Ares off Olympus, and one about driving Apollo's chariot. Lucius says he sees Zeus at least once a week. he tells Hercules that Zeus talks of him all the time. Hercules is stunned. He was not even aware that Zeus knew he existed. When Iolaus brings up Castor and Pollux, Lucius tells everyone that Castor is dead, and that Pollux killed him.
