The year 2385, rebel
forces have seized control of mining asteroid Lerarak-27; the Omacron
government has sent in a peacekeeping force whose scout is Hercules, Prince of
Power. Herc tears his way through the army, followed by the government troops
until he smashes into the rebel stronghold, scares the troops into surrendering
and captures the leader. Herc’s sidekick, Recorder 417, detects that the rebel
leader is a Skrull in disguise to divide the Omacrons so the Skrulls will find
them easy to conquer. Herc also learns that his longtime military friend Amayd
Malin is critically wounded and is able to be with him as he dies. Hercules,
having borrowed his old pal the Recorder from the Rigellians, decides to move
on….
In Apollo’s chariot,
Herc and Recorder travel to the spaceport of the planet Deniciere where they
are checked in by the attractive Tyne Pryntess who startles Herc by being able
to handle his ferocious horses. On his way to the hotel, Herc spies the tall
redheaded model Shasha and is instantly smitten but she brushes him off like
she does every other man….
On Mount Olympus, Zeus
is in a particularly bad mood so when everyone looks in on Earth and discovers
the humans have gained psychic powers, Ares scolds Zeus for letting them
progress this far—Zeus disintegrates the God of War. And threatens everyone
else….
On Deniciere, Tyne
Pryntess stops by the flirt with Hercules but he spies Shasha and chases after
her; she ducks into an alley but when Herc gets there the only person there is
a beggar. Herc returns to talk to Tyne but she is offended and stalks out. Later,
Herc and Recorder spot the fashion show Shasha is starring in and the Price of
Power jumps up on the catwalk to confess his love for her. Recorder then points
out that his readings show that Shasha is a Skrull. The crowd wants to kill him
but the Skrull (whose name is Skyppi) explains that he was an outcast on his
planet as he was not suitable for war. He fled the planet and hid in plain
sight as a celebrated (human) model. This does not appease the mob so Herc and
Recorder help Skyppi to escape and end up in the women’s dressing room. Skyppi
turns into a giant monster to scare off the pursuers and they reach the hangar
where Herc uses his charm to persuade Tyne to allow them to escape the planet
in Apollo’s chariot….
On Olympus, Pluto shows
up to ask Zeus if the time has come; Zeus replies that his rule is about to end
but first all of the gods must die….
