Wait and see!

It's Draco's opinion
that a good society is a...

a... Uhh!

"Strict and rigid one."

Right, right. Ok.

Oh, sorry, pal. No
time to play today.

I've got to get this down
before the barge comes.

It's Draco's opinion
that a good society

is a strict and rigid one only
when discipline is inv... hey!

Pegasus, I'm serious.
I can't play now.

I've got to give an oral
report today in class.

I should have
memorized it last night,

but somebody wanted
me to go flying with them.

Oh, don't look at me like that.

I promise we'll play
when I get home, ok?

Hey!

Give it back!

I don't have time for this.

Will you just quit
horsin' around?

Uh-oh. All right,
you want to play?

Ok.

Go get it boy!

Oh, man. He left teeth marks.

Hey, wait!

Only when discipline is enforced
with regularity and severity

is society at peace. But
I have a different view

that can be summed
up in one word...

- What?
- What?

Excuse me? Care to
elaborate, Mr. Hercules?

Uh, yeah, I would.

You see, Draco felt that
horseplay had no place in public life,

notably the schools.

You're losing me, Mr. Hercules.

Well, I... I... I...

I mean to say that Draco
would put his foot down...

I mean, foot down
and punished harshly

when someone was somewhere
they absolutely shouldn't be!

And he wouldn't
stand for ridicule,

especially when someone was
just trying to get a good grade!

Mr. Hercules, your report

was one of the more
interesting that I've heard.

You liked it?

Dream on. You've
earned a delta-minus

and a trip to
Mr. Parenthesis' office.

Both of you, go.

Nice going, Pegasus.

Mr. Hercules, you
know the school rules:

No animals allowed.

The wrestling team
not withstanding.

I'm sorry, Mr. Parenthesis.

He just followed me to school.

That's all well and good.

But you must take
responsibility for what he did!

After all, he's just
a dumb animal.

Yeah. I know. I'm sorry.

I don't know what else to say.

Well, now, what would Draco say?

After school
detention for a week?

Oh... Phil's gonna kill me.

Would you cut it out, Pegasus?

Maybe you don't get it,
but this is important, ok?

Drop it, would ya?

Just... just... just
go away, Pegasus.

You've caused enough
trouble for one day!

Ahh...

Aah!

Ahh...

nothing like a fearsome
creature ravaging the town

to get the blood
going, eh, Cletus?

Actually, I prefer
a brisk walk, sir.

Nonsense! This is
no weekend heroing,

with the fellows from the club.

This is the real stuff, man!

I say there, monster,

ravage the fair city
of Lycia no longer

or taste defeat at the point of
my gold-tipped beast slayer 4,000!

Oh, dear. I can't seem to
get this working properly.

What did the man at the
weapons' shop say to do?

Like this, sir.

Ah, yes. Excellent.

Good work there, Cletus.

Ow.

Oh, dear.

It's been an honor
serving you, sir.

What is this?

Are the Gods taking noble
Bellerophon to Mt. Olympus already?

Oh! Ooh, I suppose not.

Now what, winged beast?

What are you doing?

Oh, I see!

Well done, steed!

Well done.

Yes, yes.

Hello, Lycians.

As Pindar wrote in
his Olympian odes,

"the test of any
man lies in action!"

Well, I'd say I passed
that test, wouldn't you?

I couldn't have prevailed
without your help, fine stallion.

I don't know where
you came from,

but I do know this,
I'm grateful you're here.

Have you seen this winged horse?

- No. Ain't seen him.
- Are you sure? He's about this tall

and has wide white wings and...

Aay-ay-ay-ay, kid,

I know what a flyin'
horse looks like.

Now pound the pavement!

Oh... Aw, Phil.

Where could he be?

Ah, don't get too worried,
kid. He'll turn up sooner or later.

I mean, how many white
winged horses can there be.

Oh, my gosh!

"White winged horse
and hero save town."

Hey, that's Pegasus!

What's he doin' up in Lycia?

I don't know. Who's this hero...

Bellerophon?

Never heard of him.

Well, we'll find out
when we get there.

Come on, Phil.

- Right.
- Forgetting something shorty?

A-heh!, a-heh!

I, uh, meant to
say, right after I pay

for this paper!

Aw! We gotta stop in Antioch?

Hero rule number 192: Always
take an express, not a local.

That's not a hero rule.

It is now. I just added it.

I never thought that I'd
have to ride one of these.

So I says to myself,

"don't you really want to
make a difference in this world?"

I mean a positive difference,

not just mangling
people and stuff.

So that's how Zool's
Giggle Shop was born.

This is my top seller.

It's a fib detector.

Ahh... very interesting.

Yikes!

You see, that's a fib.

So that was the
last I saw of him.

I guess he's in Lycia now,

the new hero. I don't know.

When will he s hut up?
Hades, take me now.

So now we've gotta
find this Bellerophon.

Where do we start?

Don't know.

I never been in Lycia before.

What we really need is someone
who knows there way around.

Hey, Phil! Hey! Let me
give you one of my cards

so we can keep in touch, pal.

I get down to Athens
a lot on business.

Of course, this is my
usual stompin' ground.

Not that I'm stompin'
people anymore.

Yeah, look, Zool,
my friend and I,

we're lookin' for a hero in
these parts named Bellerophon.

Oh, yeah! I know where he lives.

Here it is.

Whoa! How does a hero
end up with so much stuff?

Endorsement deals,
government subsidies,

aggressive
investment portfolios.

All this could be yours
someday, when you're a hero.

Oh, Bellerophon didn't
get this by being a hero.

He's just rich.

Or you could be born
lucky. Take your pick.

I couldn't care less
about all this stuff.

I just wanna find Pegasus.

Mr. Bellerophon does
not welcome solicitors.

- Go away.
- Wait! Wait!

We're not salesmen.

Actually, I am.

Look, it's important that
I talk to Mr. Bellerophon.

Everyone says it's important
that they talk to Mr. Bellerophon.

But I think Mr. Bellerophon
has my flying horse.

Everyone thinks that
Mr. Bellerophon has their flying horse.

But Pegasus is one of a kind!

Unh!

Maybe you didn't hear.

This is important.

Yes, well, in light of the
special circumstances,

we might be able
to squeeze you in.

I'm sorry to disturb you, sir.

But this boy claims
Ignatius is his.

Pegasus...
- Ignatius? - Ignatius?

That is his name.

I picked it myself.

It means, "fiery one."

Robust, no?

Hate to disappoint you, pal,

but his name is Pegasus,
and it means, uh...

not yours.

You scared us half to
death, taking off like that.

Don't you know how
much we missed you?

Come on, Pegasus.
Don't be like that?

Whatever did you do to
this magnificent animal

that inspires such
spiteful hostility?

I didn't do anything.
I just... just... ahh...

told him to go away.

Ah-ha! So you relinquished
ownership of Ignatius.

Therefore he is
unclaimed property,

and so, I claim him.

Good day.

But... but... Oh, come on.

Give him back to me.

Look, we wealthy don't stay rich

by just giving stuff away.

Oh, Pegasus,

you don't wanna stay in
this musty old place, do ya?

You know I didn't
mean it, Pegasus.

You're my best pal.

Ignatius, my good friend, do
what you feel is right, but remember,

Lycia needs you.

I need you.

Pfft! Right!

Need him for what?

Well, how about... that?!

Aah!

Come on Peg...

Do you mind?

I'm trying to save a city here.

Well, excuse me, but
Pegasus is my horse,

and I am a hero in training.

Well excuse me, but
Ignatius and I have

beaten the Chimera before!

Oh, well, then you won't
mind letting me take a turn.

Let's go, Pegasus.

Kid, be careful!

Watch its front and its back!

Look, it's Ignatius and
Bellerophon to the rescue!

Actually, it's Pegasus
and Hercules to the rescue!

Who?

I'm a hero!

In... in... in training.

Eh, as long as it's a
hero on a flying horse,

I don't care.

All right, Pegasus!

Yahoo! The dream
team is together again!

Come on. You're not
still miffed about the...

Aah! Oh!

Oy! I've told him
a thousand times...

Combat first, emotional
resolution second.

Cletus!

Coming, sir! Unh!

Ooh!

This should do the trick...

The terror tamer 8,200!

Really? That's your choice?

Why, yes! It's got a
lovely inlaid ivory handle.

Should I pick another?

Oh, no! That's a good choice...

if you wanna tickle 'im.

Ooh.

Oh! Whoa!

Whoa, whoa... unh!

Just the way we
practiced it, Cletus.

Absolutely, sir.

Launch!

I'm ok. I just... well,
that worked nicely.

Come, Ignatius!

We have a city to save!

Yeah, well, ok.

Maybe you should have a turn.

That's right, monster.

No more second stringers.

Bellerophon and
Ignatius are back!

Ha ha ha ha!

You'll have to do better
than that, Chimera.

Ignatius is as
fleet as the wind.

This is the way it
is for us warriors,

eternally locked in
heated combat forever...

Good eye.

Oh, Hades, that was my new menace
mangler 1,000 with the oak shaft.

What a stroke of genius!

Nice job, Ignatius.

Hooray!

Ignatius and Bellerophon! Yay!

Whoa, Bellerophon
beat The Chimera?

Yes, yes. Thank you.

It was thrilling, wasn't it?

Well, what do you know?

I guess they're a pretty
good team after all.

Ah, Pegasus is
carryin' that guy,

literally and figuratively.

You know, you're
very lucky, people.

I envy you.

For what you have
witnessed here today

is the first of many
legendary victories to come.

Yes, it all begins here.

Villains and monsters
shall steer clear,

knowing my fiery steed
and I safeguard this land!

Monsters, take note!

There will be no stopping the
team of Bellerophon and Ignatius.

Isn't that right, Ignatius?

What happened to Ignatius?

Oh, so you're going
back to Athens, eh?

Well, if you must go, so be it.

Far be it from me to
keep you from happiness,

but we Lycians like
to celebrate a victory.

Please tell me you'll at
least stay for the celebration.

Yes, stay, Ignatius, please!

Stay, please!

Well, uh... it's
really up to Phil.

Ah, I don't know, kid.

We gotta get you back to school.

Aw, cut it out.

All right. Jeez, we'll stay.

Whoa ho!

Yes, he'll stay! He'll stay!

Excellent! Wonderful!

Cletus!

Sir?

If I lose that horse,
I'll no longer be a hero.

Do you know what that means?

Hmm... no, sir.

Well, I guess it means going
back to afternoons at the club

and the weekend
getaways to Crete.

It's not too bad,
all considered,

but not as good as this!

I need that horse!

Please find me something,

anything that will
change Ignatius' mind.

"And so the threat of
The Chimera is no more!

He will now reside at the
Lycia Monster Petting Zoo.

Donations are accepted."

Oh! Oh... I train
heroes all my life,

and not one of them
gets a big shindig

like they're throwin'
for bellero-phony here.

Come on. Let it go, Phil.

I'm just glad Pegasus
is coming home with us.

Allow me my bitterness, please?

Now our heroes will be
joining us in just a moment,

but first I have a
few announcements.

"Tuesday is Harpy Awareness Day.

So if you're aware of a Harpy,

report it to the
proper authorities."

Oh, that vain, posturing stooge!

We won't be going onstage
anytime soon, Ignatius.

- Psst! Sir.
- Ooh.

So I think I'll use
this opportunity to...

um... tweeze my
eyebrows. Pardon me.

What did you get?

The golden bridle, sir.

It magically deprives
a beast of all freewill.

He'll be under your
complete control.

I... I can't put
this on Ignatius.

I know, sir, it seems... cruel.

No. I mean, I
can't put it on him.

It seems messy, with the
bit in the mouth, and all.

- You do it.
- Yes, of course. Yes, sir.

And now the moment
you've all been waiting for.

Let's bring 'em out,

the heroes who saved us all,

Bellerophon and Ignatius!

Yes! Yes! Thank you!

Ignatius, come here.

Yes, yes. Thank you.

What's with Pegasus?

Maybe he's embarrassed
by that dopey-lookin' bridle.

Bellerophon, Ignatius,
thank you for coming.

It's an honor to have you here.

Now, Ignatius, I understand
you will, soon return to Athens.

Aw! Actually, we were talking
about this very matter backstage,

and Ignatius has
had a change of heart.

He's decided to remain in Lycia!

Yay!

What?

That can't be true!

Oh, but it is.

Tell them, Ignatius.

You've decided to
stay with me, right?

Pegasus?

What? This must
be some kind of trick!

I know this is
difficult for you,

but Ignatius has
spoken his mind.

You must respect that.

It can't be!

I know he wants to
come home with me!

Nonsense! And stop
assaulting my horse.

Ignatius, kick Hercules, hard.

Aah!

Whoa!

Uh-oh!

Oh, dear!

Aah!

Fly to the monster, Ignatius.

Bank left!

No! I mean right.

B-b-bank right!

Ooh!

Pull up!

- Up!
- Whoa!

What's he doin' to Pegasus?

I don't know, but he
ain't doin' it very well.

Hit the deck!

Ohh! Sorry, sorry.

Come about, you stupid horse!

Now, let's see how Chimera hide

stands up to my monster
router 2,000 with the leather grip!

When I give the word, you go around
the tail and over to the other side.

Got it?

Aah!

Now!

No! Bank left!

No, no, no. Right! Right! Right!

More! Dive!

Pegasus isn't doing anything
unless Bellerophon tells him to.

Ignatius!

Pegasus, watch out!

Unh!

Uhh! Unh!

Pegasus, are you all right?

So this is what was
making you act so funny.

Well, no one's ever
gonna put this on you again!

Mowww. That hurts.

Yeah. We're real
sorry about that.

Look, we've got bigger problems
right now than chaffed skin.

Bye!

Wha... ooh!

All right, Pegasus, let's show
this town some real heroing.

Why, he saved us!
The boy saved us!

Pegasus, we did it.

Ahh... Man, it's great
to have you back.

Ha ha ha!

Aw!

Oh, one side!

Please, let me through!

Ignatius, I...

Pegasus! His name
is Pegasus, pal!

Oh, quite right.

Pegasus, I realize

that forcing you to join me in
my hero's crusade was wrong.

That's right.

You can't force
someone to be a friend.

Precisely.

That's why in the future I'm prepare to
reward you handsomely for your services.

You can write your own ticket:

benefits, birdseed, show ponies.

Sorry, Mr. Bellerophon.

Drachma and glitz aren't
going to break up this team.

From now on, Pegasus
and I do everything together.

Everything.

Shh! Mr. Hercules!

No talking.

Ahh...
