This cow belongs to me, Prince Jason!

He's lying, my prince!

I raised this cow from a tiny calf

with my two hands!

You have no idea the amount of time and money...

I believe you already told that story.

Yeah, like, twice.

Uh, sorry.

Don't let us interrupt you.

Yeah, my point though, huh?

This is the throne room, not some common courtyard!

Leave now!

Look, I don't know whose cow it is!

Prince Jason, when you become ruler,

you must appear to know everything.

All right, you get the cow.

I'll give you one from the royal herd,

a royal cow.

Everybody's happy, everybody has a cow.

Moo, moo, moo, see ya later.

There is one more petitioner.

Aw, come on, you said that three petitioners ago.

Can I go now?

I just wanna play!

Hi!

The Babylonian Sibyl

wishes to present to the crown prince

this sacred stone in honor of his coming coronation.

You know what they say, "Never quibble with a Sibyl."

The Sibyl says the stone will bring good fortune

to the ruler who possesses it.

Oh!

Well, on behalf of the people of Corinth,

we thank the Sibyl.

The Sibyl says, "You're welcome."

Jason says, "My pleasure."

Be good.

See ya.

Well done, Your Highness.

Huh?

Hmm, I'm glad that didn't take long.

It didn't, did it?

I got all dressed up!

Argh!

Chin up, Strife.

Just think how impressed Ares will be

when we've destroyed Corinth.

Yo, if anybody else needs me, forget it

'cause I'm gonna go outside and play.

But where's the...

Ball?

No, 'cause somebody fell on it.

I was pushed.

Ah, how'd that happen?

Hey, what's this?

Looks like a rock.

Yeah, it's a Babylonian rock.

I wish I was a prince, huh?

Nobody ever gives me rocks.

Yeah, you know?

It's not so heavy.

Maybe, uh, maybe it bounces.

Uh, don't, don't do that.

Oh, yeah.

What do you think, huh?

- A ball game? - All right!

Shh, shh, shh, talky, talky, no talky, talky.

Just play, play.

Come here, ooh, oh!

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.

What is that thing?

It was a gift from the Babylonian Sibyl

until somebody broke it.

Do you know where she got it?

Maybe we can take it back and exchange it.

I guess he was hungry, huh?

No, don't.

Stick your arm in his mouth.

See if he likes meat.

No, hey, don't, he's joking.

I think he's kind of cute.

Don't be afraid, little guy.

I'm just gonna...

'Kay, you want some, uh, you want some grapes?

Whoa!

Hey, I think he likes me.

He must think I'm his mother, or something.

You know what, you probably look like her.

Oh.

I gotta call you something.

How about... how about Ruff?

Okay, so, hi, Ruff.

My name's lolaus.

Do you... do you wanna be my friend?

Motherhood is such a beautiful thing.

Oh, it brings tears to your eyes, doesn't it?

No harm done, I'll just...

Just clean it up.

Oh, no!

Hey, where's he going?

How long does it take for a basilisk to...

hatch, or whatever?

Not long, apparently.

That basilisk sure is

a squirmy little thing, isn't it?

Hercules is coming.

Ruff!

He must've gone this way.

Ruff!

Ruff!

Iolaus, you sound like a dog.

Hey, you know what?

He's probably lookin' for food.

Yeah, at the market!

The market, good.

Hey, Hercules, explain to me,

why are we chasin' after this Ruff?

Uh, well.

Don't you throw that spear!

I'm Prince Jason of Corinth,

and that creature belongs to me.

Yeah?

Well, we're not from Corinth,

and the food that thing's eatin' belongs to us.

Aw, well, you're probably not hungry now, anyway.

- Nice kick. - Thanks.

You okay?

I'm on your side.

Thanks!

Hey, any time.

Hey, where's Ruff?

Huh?

Hang on, Ruff, I'm coming!

Hey!

Hey, back off!

Leave him alone!

Back off, leave him alone!

Leave him alone!

You okay?

Yeah?

Okay, now he may look like a monster,

okay, and he is, but he's just a baby, okay?

He's harmless!

Disgusting, but harmless.

It's a freak!

Uh, excuse me.

Hang on, buddy, I'm comin' to get ya!

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

Listen, what do you think you're doin'?

You know you can't swim!

Well...

I don't wanna have to save the both of ya.

Well, go!

Be careful!

Whoa!

Can you see him?

I got him!

He's got him, he's got him!

Is he okay?

I can't tell!

Pull me up!

Oh, man.

Listen, I don't think he's breathing.

Well, we gotta revive him!

Someone's gotta...

Someone's gotta blow air into his mouth.

All right, well, uh, well, you're his mother.

You do it.

Uh, uh, hmm, oh.

I think there's something blocking the entrance.

There's something in his throat.

Hold on, let me try something.

Come here, come on up.

Easy, easy.

Okay, here we go.

There's a bunch of loose rocks down there.

Maybe he swallowed one, you know?

Okay, here we go.

Come on.

Ooh!

Popped right out!

Ah, are you all right?

Don't ever do that again!

Aw, man.

Um, is that the sound of a crowd fleeing in terror

as Corinth is destroyed?

Uh, no!

It's the sound of the crowd cheering

for Hercules and his pals and their little pet!

Agh!

Uncle Ares is gonna be so impressed.

He's just gonna go all warm and fuzzy inside.

Ho-ho-ho-ho!

Oh, go soak your head!

I try so hard to teach him to be patient.

The basilisk is still a baby!

It takes time for his venom to take effect!

The fun's started.

I like it.

Hey, now that the fires are out,

you guys wanna see what I taught Ruff?

Huh?

Okay, Ruff, ready?

Wanna fetch, yeah?

Hoo!

Go!

Aw.

Thank you.

The captain of the guard reports that no one was seen

setting the fires.

Some people can only be seen when they wanna be seen,

you know what I mean?

Fetch, ooh!

Maybe it was one of the gods.

The people are worried, Prince Jason.

I suggest you make a speech, encouraging them.

Now this is a standard reassuring speech,

suitable for any calamity.

Oh.

Ruff?

Perhaps you could devote more attention to your duties,

if you put that thing outside!

His name is Ruff, and he's not a thing!

He's a, he... he's a...

Pain in the neck!

Oh!

Oh, no!

Oh, Ruff.

Hey, now, calm down, calm down.

It's okay, he only does that when he feels threatened.

I'll get it cleaned for you.

Hey, well, listen, you're gonna have to send it out

'cause the palace laundry burned in the fires.

Well, I'm takin' Ruff with me.

Let's roll.

Jason, you know that towel that lolaus used

to wipe off that goop that Ruff spit on him?

That was in the laundry that caught on fire, wasn't it?

Yeah, I think so.

And that inn that burnt down,

was that the one we had to rescue Ruff from?

Yeah, and there was a fire near the well

that Ruff fell into.

Listen, when I was a kid,

my mom used to tell me this story

about a monster called a "basilisk."

Okay, its venom could turn a man to ashes.

Yeah, I heard that too, but that's just a legend.

Nobody's ever actually seen a basilisk.

Oh, yeah?

I think maybe we just have.

Okay, now I want you guys to shake hands, okay?

Shake hands?

Hey.

My dog can do that.

I bet he's not any smarter than a dog, is he?

I don't know, I haven't asked him.

My father gave me a dog.

Yeah, well, my father gave me a dog, too.

Well, he didn't, but he... He said he was going to.

I guess he just forgot.

What kind of stain's that?

Oh!

That venom only hit that cloak,

like a couple minutes ago.

Looks like it gets stronger as he gets bigger or something.

What are you talkin' about?

What venom?

We think that Ruff is a basilisk.

A basilisk?

Yes.

Come on, they don't exist.

Ruff's real, he's a...

Where'd he go?

Get away from my fruit!

Excuse me, Miss?

There you go.

Why, you!

Uh!

Ruff!

Ruff, where are you?

Hey, don't be afraid, little basilisk.

We're all friends here.

Ha ha!

Boo!

Over here, help me with this table!

Whoa!

Water!

Fire!

Oh, there he is.

Okay, Ruff, it's okay, buddy.

No, no, no, no, don't leave!

Come here!

Hey, little buddy.

It's okay.

It's okay...

Oh!

Ah, thanks.

My pleasure.

More water!

Why is everybody always in such a hurry?

Strife, I should've known you were behind all this!

And Discord's behind me.

Anybody behind you?

Well, you won't be laughin' when I get through with you.

Ah, no time for that.

You've got bigger fish to fry.

And I think I smell them frying right now.

Woo!

Bang!

Oh, he's doing it again.

Oh!

Okay, you don't... you don't have to be afraid!

Maybe I do.

Hold on.

I got a plan, here we go.

Charge!

Halt!

Okay, here it is, here it is.

Ruff?

Ruff, Ruff, buddy, don't you want this,

it looks good, huh?

It looks good.

Okay, Ruff.

- Don't hurt him! - It's okay.

Get him!

Well, get him lightly!

Whoa, nice catch, Hercules.

The whole town's a barbecue,

and I forget to bring my marshmallows!

Guess you weenies will have to do!

All right, buddy.

Let's not tell Uncle Ares about this, huh?

What do you say?

Ahh!

Man, it must really burn Strife to lose to you.

I know.

Isn't it great?

But he'll be back.

Two.

One, two.

One, two.

One, two.

One, two.

Well...

That's the last of the fires!

All right, yeah!

Hooray!

Don't worry, good people!

The palace will pay to repair the damages!

All right!

I'm afraid I'm gonna have to do

more than just make repairs.

As the crown prince, I'm gonna have to make sure

this doesn't happen again.

Uh, oh, we could train Ruff

to just spit goo at Strife.

You know, you know, kind of like a guard dog.

He could guard.

He could be a...

No.

I can't keep him, can I?

I'm sorry.

No.

Uh, I really don't feel right about leavin' Ruff

out here by himself.

You know, what if he gets caught by a lion,

or something?

Yeah, he'd turn the lion into toast.

According to the legend,

there's basilisks over this rise.

Why hasn't anyone ever seen one before?

What if he's all alone?

You know, just a scared little baby.

All right, a loud, scared, little baby.

Doesn't sound like he's gonna be alone.

Well, I guess he'll be happier

with his own kind, huh?

Goodbye, Ruff.

Take care of yourself.

Goodbye, little guy.

Now I know how my mother must have felt

when I left home.

Yeah, relieved.

He'll be all right.

You did the right thing.
