- DISSOLVE TO: -
The Deep Woods-Ext.-Dusk
Cassandra and Callistia are walking in the woods, looking for the perfect spot.
- CASSANDRA -
What exactly are we looking for?
- CALLISTIA -
A good spot to practice magic.
- CASSANDRA -
I had to ask.
They enter upon a huge building like structure.
- CALLISTIA -
Hey, what's this?
(reads)
"Gateus Tu Mortum"...
cool! Let's go inside.
Callistia runs into the building. Cassandra calls after her, knowing what the gate is to...the Underworld.
- CASSANDRA -
(yelling)
WAIT!! DON'T GO DOWN THERE!!
(normally)
Oh no...I'd better go get Herc...she
Could get into big trouble...
- Fade to: -
The Underworld - Int. - Night
Callistia is making her way down the staircase, looking around.
- CALLISTIA -
Whoa...what is this place?
She gets on the ferryboat to Hades palace. Charon, the boat man, holds out his bony hand.
- CHARON -
That'll be one drachma, missy.
Callistia rolls her eyes, reaches into her satchel, and pulls out a drachma she hands it to Charon.
- CALLISTIA -
They charge you for everything nowadays. Oy.
The boat heads upstream. Callistia looks into the water. Her eyes widen when she sees that the water...is not actually water...its made up of dead souls.
- CALLISTIA -
Okay...this is a tad freaky.
Once the boat makes it to the other side, she heads up the stairs to Hades' palace. She goes in and starts looking around.
- CALLISTIA -
Hello? Anybody home?
She doesn't notice a couple of shadows behind her. She goes over to a sign on the wall.
- CALLISTIA -
(reads)
"Tomb Sweet Tomb"...
suddenly the sound of scuffling, and something falling over, makes her turn around. She shrugs.
- CALLISTIA -
Hm, where's an exterminator when you
need one?
She walks over to another part of the room. Suddenly, she senses somebody behind her. She whirls around.
- CALLISTIA -
All right, what's the big d-
She turns to face Hades' imps, Pain and Panic. On sight, she screams. They scream back, startled. Callistia backs up, trips, reels backwards and falls on her behind. She looks at the two imps.
- CALLISTIA -
W...what are you?
Pain and Panic rub their heads, and then look at her.
- PAIN -
Ouch...sister, you nearly blew out my hearing!
- PANIC -
We're Hades' henchmen...I'm Panic!
- PAIN -
And I'm Pain...in pain!
(still holding head)
Callistia looks amazed.
- CALLISTIA -
Hades??...that must mean I'm in...
- PAIN AND PANIC -
The Underworld.
Callistia smiles.
- CALLISTIA -
COOL!
Pain goes up to her.
- PAIN -
No, it isn't cool...
- PANIC -
Not cool if you don't wanna be a prisoner
Down here!
Callistia's smile fades.
- CALLISTIA -
Uh...what?
Panic leaps up onto her shoulder.
- PANIC -
Hades imprisons mortals that come down here!
Callistia, now thinking, "this is a great place, but I wouldn't want to live here.", backs up. Panic jumps off her shoulder. Suddenly he looks behind her nervously. Callistia stops when she bumps into something. She turns around to discover the thing she bumped into...is Hades. He grins at her toothily.
- HADES -
Well, well, what do we have here?
Callistia grins nervously.
- CALLISTIA -
Uhh...hi! nice place you have here,
I was just looking around, now I'm gonna
Go, bye.
She runs and heads for the door, but Hades turns his arm into a long, smoky vine and grabs her around the waist.
- HADES -
(pulling her close)
Whoa, whoa, don't think so, babe.
Can I call ya babe? Anyway, I couldn't
help but notice you said that you were
leaving? Well, you've got another thing
coming to ya, dollface...once a mortal
enters the Underworld, they never leave.
And baby, you couldn't get more mortal
Than you already are.
Callistia gulps in fear.
- CALLISTIA -
What are you gonna do to me?
Hades grins sadistically.
- HADES -
Well, heres the thing, babe.
Usually, we give the living mortals
to Cerberus as puppy chow...but being
that I kind of like ya,
you know, you the way you
dress, your dark attitude...
I'll let you be my personal..
..slave. Badda bing.
He chuckles evilly. Callistia shudders and crouches down low.
- Fade Out -
- Fade In -
Prometheus Academy - Ext. - Day
Hercules and Icarus are just arriving to school.
Adonis comes onscreen, looking a tad disheveled.
- ADONIS -
Yuck I feel icky...
I woke up with a tin can in my mouth
Inside a peasants' goat pen!
He walks off, and Hercules snickers.
Suddenly, Cassandra comes running.
- CASSANDRA -
Hercules!
- HERCULES -
Hey, Cassandra! So, how'd the thing
In the woods go with Callistia?
- CASSANDRA -
We never got around to anything.
She ran off down the path to the
Underworld and never came back up.
I think Hades might have caught up
With her.
- HERCULES -
Oh no..he could be doing horrible things
To her.
(He whistles)
PEGASUS!
Pegasus suddenly arrives, swooping them up.
- HERCULES -
To the Woods!
They take to the air, heading off to the woods.
Meanwhile...
- Fade to: -
Hades' Palace - Int. - Day
Now when Hades said "slave", Callistia had thought he meant, "Labor", but what she was doing was different...sure it was work...but she was...she was...giving him a back massage.
- HADES -
(sighs)
A little bit more to the right, Calli,
Yeah, that's the spot right there.
Callistia smiles to herself.
- CALLISTIA -
(thinking)
Hmm...this is nowhere near as
bad as I thought it was gonna be.
And...I'm actually beginning to
...LIKE Hades...
Suddenly, Hercules busts in with Pegasus,Cassandra and Icarus in tow.
- HERCULES -
HADES! RELEASE CALLISTIA!
He charges up to Hades, punches him, and send him colliding into a large statue. The heavy impact sends the columns down on top of Cassandra.
- CALLISTIA -
CASSANDRA!!
Hercules pulls the columns off of her, she lies there, groaning. Icarus runs up to her.
- ICARUS -
(gasps)
CASSANDRA! Ohh...my lady love has been
Flattened...Hades!! your going down, man!
- CASSANDRA -
(weakly)
Icarus...come here.
Icarus comes closer.
- ICARUS -
(close to tears, yelling overdramatically)
Yes?! What is it my flattened flower?!!
Cassandra moves in closer.
- CASSANDRA -
(weakly)
...you're...a...moron.
She lays still.
- ICARUS -
NOOOOOO!! That does it! Lemme at 'em!
He starts towards Hades, but Hercules stops him.
- HERCULES -
Easy, easy, I'll handle him.
- HADES -
You know, I'm a sentimental guy, so
Here: since you guys lost a friend, I'll
Give you one back. Callistia, babe, a deals'
A deal. Your free to go.
He frees her from her chains.
- HERCULES -
(scowling at Hades)
Let's go.
But Callistia stays put.
- CALLISTIA -
No. this isn't right.
It wasn't her time.
(she turns to Hades)
Listen, you like making deals...
Here's one for you:
Bring Cassandra back to life, and
I will remain here as your henchwoman.
For life.
Hercules walks up to her.
- HERCULES -
But Callistia, that means your freedom
will be gone.
Callistia looks at him.
- CALLISTIA -
I know...but...Cassandra didn't deserve that.
So I want to set things right...even if it costs
me my rights. Hades...have you come to a
decision yet?
Hades stands there, with a hand to his chin, thinking. He stops thinking.
- HADES -
All right, all right.
It's a deal.
Hades puts out a hand, and a green glow covers Cassandra's body. After a few minutes, she begins breathing again. Her eyes flutter open.
- CASSANDRA -
Wh-where am I?
Hades looks at them impatiently.
- HADES -
Okay, okay, now go! Get outta here...
before I change my mind, eesh.
Cassandra looks at Callistia.
- CASSANDRA -
Callistia? What did you do?
Callstia looks at her somberly.
- CALLISTIA -
I gave up my freedom so you
Could live. I can't say anymore.
I'll be alright. Now go, before
Something else happens.
Cassandra looks at Callistia, and smiles.
- CASSANDRA -
Thank you.
She turns to go. Icarus bounds over to Callistia.
- ICARUS -
OH! Thank you for saving my honeykins!
but too bad about you being enslaved by
Hades...are you sure your gonna be okay
with it? I mean, have you had a look around?
Callistia smiles at Icarus.
- CALLISTIA -
Yes, I've had a look around.
That's what got me in trouble.
Don't worry, I'll be fine...
Icarus salutes her.
- ICARUS -
That's fine, just so it's
You and not me. Bye Callistia!
He bounds off, and Callistia shakes her head, smiling. Hercules comes up to her.
- HERCULES -
Are you sure about this?
Is this what you want?
She turns to Herc.
- CALLISTIA -
Hey, Don't worry about me.
I can handle it.
Hercules sighs.
- HERCULES -
Okay, if you say so.
(he hops onto Pegasus with Cassandra and Icarus)
Let's go Pegasus!
They fly off. Callistia watches them. Hades walks up to her.
- HADES -
Sooo...what was the real reason you didn't go
With Jerkules?
- CALLISTIA -
I finally realized how much that I like the
Underworld...
- HADES -
(interested)
Uh huh...go on.
- CALLISTIA -
And...how much that I like you.
Hades gets a shocked expression on his face.
- HADES -
Excuse me?
- CALLISTIA -
I have to admit...it was those big, blue muscular
arms that have attracted me...
Hades is starting to like this. He smiles wickedly.
- HADES -
(Taking Callistia in his arms)
Well! Whaddaya think of this, doll?
He tilts her back and gives her a fiery kiss. When he lets her back up, she is dazed. She suddenly snaps out of it.
- CALLISTIA -
Whooo Hooo!!!
Hades laughs.
- HADES -
That's what all the women say, dollface!
They kiss again.
- Fade out -
