Hercules and Iolaus strolled through an empty field on their way to Corinth to visit Iphicles. It had been a long time since he had visited his brother and a visit was past due. The sky was blue with little white clouds and wildflowers dotted the green field with their vibrant colors. It just seemed that every time he tried to visit Corinth something came up and so he never got there. His other brother, Ares, was often involved.

"I can't wait to get to Corinth and stay at the Palace! The food they got there! Just thinking of it makes my mouth water!" Iolaus told Hercules and they started to climb a hill.

"I just hope Ares doesn't interfere again." Hercules replied. The big hero reached the top of the hill and stopped. Ares was standing at the top of the hill, waiting for them. Hercules sighed loudly. "Not now, Ares. I don't have time to play your games. I'm on the way to visit Iphicles, as I'm sure you know."

"Why, aren't you glad to see me?" Ares asked, a hurt expression on his face. "I always try to visit you."

"I could do without your visits." Hercules said as he moved past his Godly half brother. "Now if you'll excuse me, I need to get to Corinth."

"So you don't want to hear about the monster?" Ares asked.

Hercules stopped and turned to face Ares. "What monster?"

"Yeah, what monster?" Iolaus asked.

"The giant one that's stomping towards Corinth." Ares explained. "It'll be there soon if you don't stop it. I just thought I should tell you."

Hercules stared at Ares, confused. "Why are you telling us this?"

"Why, isn't that your job? Being a Monster Slayer?" Ares asked innocently. "And I know you'd just hate yourself if you got there too late and the city was destroyed."

"We better go slay it!" Iolaus told his best friend.

"Which direction is it?" Hercules asked. Ares pointed and the Demigod started running in that direction. Soon he spotted the monster and skidded to a halt. The thing was the largest creature he had ever seen!

The monster was big like a mountain and must have been over 100 feet tall! It was a giant lizard that walked on two legs in an upright position. It's skin was a dark greenish black, covered with thick scales. The ground trembled with each step it took. A long tail trailed on the ground behind the monster and every so often it moved, striking the ground or other nearby objects. On its back grew some sort of huge spikes, each one shaped like a maple leaf. Red beady eyes scanned the nearby area as it continued forward. The tiny arms seemed out of place with the rest of its body.

"Whoa!" Iolaus gasped as he stared up and up and up until he almost fell over backward. "What the heck IS that thing? And how are we going to kill something that big?"

"I don't know. But we have to try!" Hercules pulled out the sword he had taken from a warlord just that morning and raced towards the monster. Leaping as high as he could, he landed on top of the monster's giant foot.

Iolaus gulped down his fear and dashed after the retreating monster. Just two steps of the giant creature had already put a lot of distance between him and Hercules. If he didn't hurry, he'd be left behind! The monster's big feet stirred up loose dust and Iolaus coughed as he ran. Finally reaching the other foot, he bravely leaped onto it. The rough skin felt hot and dry under his hands. And very hard.

On the foot, Hercules braced himself the best he could. He raised his sword and plunged the pointed tip straight down into the monster's foot. He expected an immediate reaction from the creature and was puzzled when none came. So he stabbed at it a few more times. Surely that would do the job!

"Is it dead yet?" Hercules asked Iolaus.

"No, not yet. It's still heading towards Corinth!" Iolaus replied.

Hercules bent to examine the foot and saw that his sword hadn't caused any damage at all. He couldn't even find a scratch! The well muscled hero frowned. "This is going to be harder than I thought."

Deciding the foot was too tough, Hercules hopped off. Soon the tail was in front of him and Hercules gripped the very tip. The tip was wide but his arms just fit around it. He dug his heels into the ground and hung on. "I got it! Iolaus, I got the monster!"

Iolaus hopped off the other foot and hurried over by Hercules. He watched as Hercules was dragged behind the walking monster. The demigod's boots began to smoke from friction. "Are you sure you got it, Herc?"

"Of course I...Whoa!" Hercules hung on even tighter as he was suddenly lifted high into the air. Then the tail was slammed back onto the ground with incredible force. Hercules gritted his teeth but was determined to hang on. His feet left the ground for a second time as the tail tip moved upward. When it struck the ground the second time, Hercules was forced to let go. He lay on the ground, dazed.

"Hercules!" Iolaus rushed over to his friend, fearing he had been mortally wounded. "Are you OK? Talk to me!"

"Boy, that thing is worse than the hydra. It can fight real good with that tail!" Hercules rubbed his head and slowly sat up.

"Uh, Herc?" Iolaus stuttered. "I'm not sure it even knew you were ON it's tail."

"Of course it did! It kept slamming me on the ground! We were having a fight!" Hercules replied, a bit annoyed.

"I think it was just wagging it's tail, like a dog." Iolaus stated.

"That's crazy! Maybe it won that round, but I'll win the next one!" Hercules got up and dusted off his clothes. "Let's go build a trap!"

"A trap? How are we going to trap something that big?" Iolaus asked.

"Easy. Come on!" Hercules ran ahead of the monster and soon found the perfect place for his trap. He handed Iolaus a shovel. "Help me dig a deep pit for it. We'll trap it's foot and then it can't go smash Corinth!"

Iolaus gave Hercules a worried look but started to dig. Soon they were both covered in sweat and the pit took form. It was deeper and wider than Hercules was tall. They finished just it time, as the monster appeared over the next hill. At first only it's head was visible, then its chest, its stomach and finally its legs. They both scrambled out of the pit and hid in some nearby bushes.

"It's going straight for the pit!" Hercules whispered to Iolaus. "Pits are good for catching animals. At the last minute, they had thrown some thin branches and grass over the open hole to hide it.

"I don't know..." Iolaus muttered. The little hunter couldn't see how a small hole was going to stop such a big monster! "I don't think we CAN stop that monster. It's just too big!"

"Nonsense, Iolaus! I never met a monster I couldn't kill." Hercules leaned forward in anticipation as the monster walked towards the trap. Its foot came down directly on the trap and nothing happened. The hole had been too small! "Phooey! The hole was nothing but a tiny crack to it."

Iolaus came out of the bushes and watched the monster's spiked back as it headed towards Corinth. "What are we going to do now?"

"Hmm....let me think." Hercules knew they had very little time left. Then a grin spread across his face. "I have the perfect idea!"

"I hope it's better than your last idea." Iolaus muttered.

** Some Time Later **

"A monster, huh? Sure I'll go kill it. Where is it?" Xena asked.

"It's heading towards Corinth. You got to hurry!" Hercules told her.

"Don't worry. I'll go take care of it." Xena leaped onto Argo and hurried off towards Corinth. Soon she saw the giant monster stomping along, it's tail swishing behind it. She frowned. Hercules hadn't told her the thing was THAT big. Xena quickly climbed to the top of a tall tree and waited until it came closer. Taking careful aim, she threw her deadly chakrom at its face. The chakrom bounced off the hard scales on it's nose and flew over the monster's head. It landed high on it's back, getting caught on one of the spikes.

"Dang!" Xena swore. The monster passed her and continued on towards Corinth, her chakrom on its back. "Come back here with my chakrom!"

Xena climbed down from the tree and ran after Godzilla. She leaped onto his tail and started to climb upwards. It's hide felt extremely hot under her hands and her boots slipped a few times, but she was determined to get her favorite weapon back! She was about halfway to her chakrom when Corinth came into view. She could see Hercules, Iolaus and Gabrielle herding people to safety in some nearby caves. People saw the monster and started to panic. Their screams filled the air as they stampeded towards safety. Xena hoped they had evacuated everyone, but the Warrior Princess doubted it. There hadn't been enough time. Several thousand lived in Corinth.

Xena scrambled up the monster's back faster, her hands gripping the spines as she pulled herself higher and higher. Perhaps if she reached it's head she could kill it somehow, maybe with her sword. She finally reached her chakrom and tried to pry it loose. The thing had gotten jammed somehow...

"Come on! I don't have the time!" She muttered as she yanked with all her strength. Her weapon finally popped free and she almost fell. She regained her balance and took a quick glance at their surroundings. Corinth was right in front of them now. Just then the monster turned and started to go around the city. Xena clung to its back as she watched the city pass by on her right. Now the ocean was right in front of them and the great creature happily lumbered into the deep salty water.

"Uh oh. I better get down from here before it takes me to sea!" Xena leaped from the monster's back, landing in the water. After swimming to shore, she went to sea what the others were doing.

** That Evening **

Xena looked down at herself in confusement.

"Why the heck am I glowing this odd green???"

The End!
