Hercules, Iolaus, and Lilith can't find Cheiron anywhere at the academy. All of the sudden, the headmaster’s image appears in a pool of water. They notice he is chained to a cave wall. Ares suddenly appears in front of him, threatening to kill Cheiron if Hercules and his friends can't find him before the ropes restraining him from be burnt to a crisp finish burning through. As the image of the two disappears, Cheiron shouts out a cryptic message. The cadets use memories of their past exploits to decipher its meaning. When they do, they realize Cheiron is trying to tell them his location, which is Hephaestus' forge.
After the three arrive at the forge, Hercules engages in another epic battle with his half-brother while Iolaus and Lilith free Cheiron. Back at the academy, Hercules and his friends are hailed as heroes for saving Cheiron's life. The headmaster gives them special medallions as a symbol of his gratitude.
