Hades You were specks of dust beneath our fingernails. Your very breath is a gift from Olympus. You have insulted powers beyond your comprehension.
QC Queen Cassiopeia
Who are you?
Hades I am Hades. Kneel.
Not now, Perseus. You will have your chance.
Hades What do you know of beauty? What is more beautiful than death? Gaze upon me, mortal queen.
A Andromeda
[Cassiopeia's body ages and withers]
Mother!
Hades In ten days, when the sun is eclipsed, I will unleash the Kraken. Argos will be swept from the earth, and all of you with it. Unless you sacrifice the princess you so foolishly compare to the gods. Only her blood will sate the Kraken and Zeus, who you have so offended. Choose your penance, Argos. Destruction or sacrifice. This is the will of Zeus. [turns and looks at Perseus] The will of your father.
Hades King Acrisius.
There is no Acricius. Just Calibos!
Hades We have a enemy in common, Zeus.
Hades My brother.
What do you want from me?
Hades Zeus is seed in your wife survived. The child of your shame. Perseus.
Hades You murdered your wife for nothing, now Perseus housed himself from Argos to destroy me. He must die.
What would you have me do?
Hades Zeus must think I serve him but I am growing stronger. Until I possess my full power, you will be my weapon. Use this! Kill Perseus for me and I'll destroy Zeus for you.
I serve you. The boy will die!
H Hermes
Zeus, you must bring an end to this. They've attacked our temples!
P Poseidon
Now they dare to desecrate Zeus' image!
D Demeter
We could reach out to them!
A Apollo
Accommodation could be made! A truce!
Z Zeus
No! I created them. And they reward my love with defiance?! There will be no truce!
Hades Finally, some rage from you. How long has it been? How long, brother, since you've seen my face?
Hades Endless years I've watched from the Underworld and saw your wrath tempered with love. You created them for one reason, so their prayers would fuel our immortality. But you love them too well, they've grown strong. And now, I am forced to rise because we are all threatened.
Z Zeus
What do you want, brother?
Hades Let me loose upon them. They will pray again and you will bathe in their awe and fear. And we will grow strong again.
A Apollo
He belongs in the Underworld, not here!
Hades You do not tell me where I belong. You said it is love that feeds us, but you depend on their love. I've only learned to live on their fear. Their pain.
P Poseidon
Zeus? Our brother speaks the truth. Give it to him.
Z Zeus
Go, do what you will.
A Apollo
Father, we need the mortals!
Z Zeus
No, Apollo. Hades is right. Their insolence are surprised. Like children, they need to be reminded of the order of things! Set an example, brother. Turn them on each other, and back into our arms.
Hades Argos is fallen. Do you feel stronger, brother? You thought the Kraken would bring you their prayers, but the Kraken is my child. It feeds only me.
Z Zeus
I command Olympus! Remember who you serve!
Hades I serve myself! I have, since you cheated me. You sent me to the Underworld to be hated while you basked in their love.
Z Zeus
We need the love of humans.
Hades No, you need it. I survive on their fear. Your reign is over, Brother Zeus. You'll watch while my blessed avenger devours their hopes and then finally, you'll know my pain.
Z Zeus
There is still a demigod in Argos, brother. Perseus...
