1 You know, I can't believe Cheiron

made us do our morning laps through a cave full of spiders.

I hate spiders.

Hey, hey.

Look at it this way.

You ran your personal best, all right?

See the good.

Uh, spiders are okay.

It's just, uh, remember that underwater escape

he rigged up last week?

Oh, yeah, the, uh, sinking ship drill.

Yeah, let's just say I prefer dry land,

lots of it all around me, for miles.

How about yesterday's fire baton maneuver?

I saw my life flash in front of my beautiful face.

What about you, Hercules?

What are you afraid of?

Ah, well, same thing as you I mean, as anybody, I guess.

You are part god.

Half of you shouldn't be afraid of anything.

Yeah, but the other half of me

could be a complete and total sissy chicken,

so, you never know.

Oh, as if.

All right, uh,

you guys wanna know what really scares me?

Ticking off Cheiron!

- Oh! - Come on.

Let's get outta here before curfew, all right?

Oh.

Good night, people, go to bed, already.

What's next on the nightmare line-up?

Hey, hey, hey!

Somebody's rocking my dreamboat!

Morpheus, the god of dreams.

It's been a long time.

Not now, Ares.

I'm working on a rush order, and I'm way behind.

I got a lot of nightmares to take care of here.

Does this have anything to do

with the deal you had with Apollo,

where he kept the sun up for a few extra hours,

cut you some slack.

So it ended up frying a few crops.

So what?

Now I got Ceres breathing down my neck.

Yeah, the goddess of bounty can be a real bear.

Uh, tell me about it.

She wants some Grade A nightmares

to make up for the...

So, please, if ya don't mind!

Hey, I don't mind,

especially since those nightmares are now mine.

Oh, no, no, no, no.

These are for a deal I made with Ceres.

Who just made a deal with me.

See, I kept a battle out of one of her orchards.

And she gave you the marker for the nightmares I owe her?

Hmm.

You might say it's a "dream situation."

This'll cover it.

Ooh, you could terrify a lot of people with that,

if you work it right.

I'm only interested in one, Hercules.

So, what exactly are you planning to do here?

Me?

Nothing.

I'm gonna let the nightmare do all the work

and Hercules, well,

he's gonna destroy himself!

That nightmare's workin' already.

Yeah, yeah.

Good night, guys.

Sweet dreams, Lilith.

Ooh, yeah.

You know, guys?

It's funny, but I never remember any dreams I have,

except for this one where I'm surrounded by Amazons,

but they like me.

Then that's how you knew it was a dream.

- Ooh, yes. - Ow!

Lilith!

Help!

Hercules!

Help!

Nooo!

Lilith!

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.

Nooo!

Lilith!

- Hold on! - Lilith!

Lilith, hold on, we're coming!

We're coming, Lilith!

We're coming!

Herc, a little help here?

Help!

Herc!

Herc!

Nooo!

Now, Hercules!

Herc!

Iolaus!

Hercules!

No... Chei... Cheiron!

Cheiron!

Hey, Jason.

Jason.

Iolaus?

Iolaus!

Hey.

Where is everyone?

Hello?

Cheiron.

Hercules, you're safe.

Thank the Fates.

What happened?

What's goin' on?

Ah!

A dark presence swept through the academy,

stealing the cadets.

I was almost lost, too, until you woke up.

Why didn't it take me?

I've... ah!

I've heard tales of this before.

The gods have caused this presence

to enter our world from your dream.

Hold on a second, something from my dream did this?

It seems like the work of the god, Morpheus,

and I fear the cadets are lost forever.

Hmm, interesting technique!

You used Hercules' own nightmare

to kidnap his friends into the dreamworld, huh?

Phase one complete.

I love that.

Physical presence in the dreamworld is tricky stuff.

People get hurt, you know?

Like I care about these mortals?

So long as Hercules goes for the rescue,

and he will, count on it.

Ah, even if he does try to rescue his friends,

you can't mess with him physically.

Zeus's protection order and all.

Hey, I didn't kidnap those cadets.

And I don't have to mess with Hercules.

No, I'll just let his own worst nightmare

keep doin' all the dirty work.

Some nightmares have all the fun.

Okay, oh, this is good.

Oh-ho, pinch me, I'm dreamin'.

"Embrace your greatest fear."

I don't know what's goin' on,

and I don't know what I did wrong,

but I'm goin' to that dreamworld.

And I'm gettin' my friends back.

You're not going there.

Travelers to the dreamworld don't come back.

We'll have to find some other way to rescue the cadets.

What do you mean?

Stories passed down in my Kindra.

Those who have travelled to the dreamworld,

their greatest fears have been made real there,

and have destroyed them.

Well, uh, whatever it is,

I can beat it.

This isn't a simple fight.

To have any sort of chance, you must be prepared

to confront what terrifies you the most and then embrace it.

Embrace it?

I'm gonna take it out.

To destroy it would be to destroy part of yourself.

Do you even know what you're most afraid of?

Yeah.

When people that I care about are hurt because of me.

I can't do this without you.

So help me.

Please.

All right.

But remember,

the vortex that dragged the cadets into your dreamworld

is their only way back out.

Right, uh, the vortex.

Now, concentrate on the still surface of the water.

Come on.

And breathe as I tell you.

Slowly.

Slowly.

I don't think this is workin', Cheiron.

Cheiron?

Well, could be wrong.

Who are you?

Kora's.

How'd I get here?

♪ Spiders bite, water drowns ♪

♪ Fire burns and makes you frown ♪

Lilith?

Is that you?

♪ Fire burns and makes you frown ♪

Hey.

Glad to see you.

Listen, uh...

♪ And makes you frown ♪

Where is everybody?

They're with me.

They're on the dark side.

Help us, Hercules!

Okay.

Okay.

No.

No, stop!

Please, don't!

Don't... go away!

No!

What're you talkin' about?

Why?

Lilith?

Ah, Herc!

Iolaus!

Iolaus.

Get away from me!

- What? - You can't help me.

- You put me here! - No, I came to help!

Now, come here... Give me your hand!

Hercules, Hercules!

Herc!

You put me here!

Iolaus!

Hercules!

Iolaus!

Herc!

Embrace your greatest fear.

Jason.

Embrace your greatest fear.

Jason.

Embrace your greatest fear.

Embrace your greatest fear.

"Embrace my greatest fear"?

Ahhh!

Hercules!

Mom?

Hercules!

Hercules?

Mom!

I'm coming!

You must embrace your greatest fear!

Hercules!

It's your dream!

It's only a dream, Hercules!

It's only a dream!

It's only a dream, Hercules!

Mom?

Ma?

What are ya doin' here?

What's wrong?

Nothin's wrong, except that I'm not your mother.

This is a dream.

Just a dream!

Maybe for you.

Try telling that to them.

Help!

Hercules!

Help!

Hercules!

Ah, help!

Mama, mama!

- Yes! - Hey!

Watch it, big fella!

Some of us are trying to work here!

Ah, so I owe ya one.

Noted.

So, how's your nightmare workin' out?

Beyond my wildest dreams.

I wanna get closer.

So, go!

Enjoy yourself!

Live a little!

Jerk.

Who are you?

Look in the mirror.

You think you're some part of me or somethin'?

Oh, some part.

I am the best part!

You're the part that hurts without regret?

- Oh, yeah. - That fights without feeling?

You could say, he's your worst nightmare.

Ares.

Don't mind me, I'm only here to cheer on the winner.

And just guess who I'm bettin' on.

Hercules, help!

Help!

Help!

Iolaus!

Jason, Lilith!

This is my dream.

Everybody!

There ya go!

There's the way out!

Hurry up!

This way!

Let's go!

No!

How's it feel, huh?

This is my dream!

I'm in charge!

Hey.

Don't tell me.

Tell him.

Not bad.

Now let's see if you can beat your worst nightmare.

Embrace your greatest fear.

You're my greatest fear!

Don't you get it?

Huh?

If I destroy you, or you destroy me,

we're both gonna lose!

Tell ya what,

you stay here, and I'll see how much fun I can have

on the other side.

No, no, no, no, you can't come in here.

Easy.

Back off, big fella.

Forget about spiders, water, and fire.

You're every evil thing that I'm capable of.

Oh.

You have no idea.

But I can't destroy you, 'cause you're a part of me.

But you know what?

That's it, all right?

You don't control me, I do!

That's what you think.

We need each other.

You understand that?

You're supposed to hate me!

Well, I don't.

And ya know what?

I'm not scared of you anymore either.

Yes!

He did it.

Hercules destroyed himself!

Forgettin' somethin', Ares,

a little somethin' called inner strength.

Nooo!

Okay.

Show is over.

I was this close.

This close to getting rid of Hercules!

Stick to your swords, god of war.

Leave the dreams to me.

Hey!

Hercules!

Wow, he's back!

You've returned to us.

Yeah, thanks to you.

And you were right.

I was this close to destroying my darker half,

but, if I had, I'd have destroyed myself, right?

None of us is without our dark sides.

You did well, Hercules.

I'm proud of you.

Well, it's just good to be back.

Cadets, we've had much excitement for one night.

Morning bells won't ring for another hour.

Everybody, back to sleep.

Back to sleep?

You sure that's a good idea?

How about a game of bag ball, huh?

Yeah!

Bag ball!

Awesome!
