| - Hercules and Iolaus are building Alcmene's walls and she comes by to give the duo the news that some king has gone berserk with Ares because his daughter has got married. Hope releases Callisto from her cave. Callisto wants to be left alone, but Hope convinces her to destroy Hercules in exchange to "rid" her of her "demons." Ares and Strife give the king Tyndareus a powerful bow and arrow so he can have a big bloody war and make Ares happy. But the king only wants his daughter back, but Ares convinces him to take the weapons and go to war. Hercules and Iolaus spoil the party and Hercules collapses the ceiling over all the powerful weapons, leaving the Ares and Strife very angry and upset. Strife tries some...weird...moves on Hercules, but Hercules just sends him flying. The heroes solve the king's problems by talking sense into him and he invites them to is daughter's wedding feast. Ares is still moaning about losing a good customer. Strife does something stupid and the god sends him flying. Callisto comes in with plans of her own. Ares and Callisto flirt and set Strife on fire. They start talking about pounding Hercules, but when Strife tries to talk sense into Ares, he does not listen. Ares and Callisto go outside and open the space portal, releasing Hercules' bearded counterpart, the Sovereign. He calls Callisto a priestess and approves of Ares wearing black. Ares takes the pendant of Hind blood and the gods disappear. Ares and Callisto flirt some more, with Strife getting more stuffing beaten out of him. Hercules and Iolaus run into a villager, who gets scared of a shaven Hercules wearing new clothes. He says a bearded black leather wearing Hercules was tearing up a defenseless town. The Sovereign starts beating up villagers and destroying buildings because of all the happy faces. Hercules and Iolaus put the Sovereign to sleep and take him to where the portal opens. Callisto and Ares open the portal and the two Hercules get sucked in. The gods go away, leaving one very confused and grievous Iolaus. The two Hercules end up in the Sovereign's "nightmare." the Sovereign complains about his luck and decides to kill Hercules to they can both die. Ares, Callisto, as well as Strife are toasting to the fact that Hercules is gone. Callisto tries to get the pendent and Ares beats her up. Iolaus hears them and sneaks into the room. When Callisto has lost all her strength, Hope shows up and revives the goddess. It is Ares turn to be beaten and he gets a good one. She takes the pendent and backs away. Strife tries to talk to her, but she covers a knife with the blood and stabs him. While the pair of Hercules are fighting, Hercules feels a shaking and realizes something terrible has happened. Iolaus runs into the room and finds out that Strife is dead. Callisto and Hope leave. Ares says good stuff about the dead little freak and about the force of evil in Callisto's friend. Iolaus and Ares go to get her. Hope sends Callisto back in time so she can kill Alcmene before Hercules is born. Ares sends Iolaus back in time to stop Callisto because Ares has to "fix things" there with Strife being gone. We see a quick view of Iolaus' life, then he ends up in Corinth where the "harlot" Alcmene is pregnant. Hercules and the Sovereign beat each other up some more, then they have a meaningful chat. Hercules finds out that the Sovereign could watch the present via a window in a pool. Hercules sees Iolaus running through the window, but Hercules cannot reach him. Iolaus runs to young Alcmene's place, where she is talking to her dead husband's grave. Iolaus tells her that a crazy woman is coming and they have to go. Callisto shows up and throws a fireball at Alcmene's direction.
