174
00:17:20,831 --> 00:17:22,833
Let the heavens scream!

175
00:17:23,209 --> 00:17:24,877
Let the earth tremble!

176
00:17:40,518 --> 00:17:45,064
Let mortals know the
gods of old live again!

177
00:17:53,531 --> 00:17:55,741
It's over, Maxie.

178
00:17:55,825 --> 00:17:58,911
Alexander,
destroy the bat demon.

179
00:17:58,995 --> 00:18:03,583
- But, boss, maybe we shouldn't-
- Traitors! My harpies, awake.

180
00:18:04,041 --> 00:18:06,460
Destroy all who oppose me!

(GROANING)

184
00:19:16,197 --> 00:19:17,198
Ah.

185
00:19:17,281 --> 00:19:19,533
Thank you, Bat... Look out!

186
00:19:19,617 --> 00:19:22,244
Begone, thou foul bat demon!

187
00:19:26,374 --> 00:19:29,126
Get thee back to the
underworld where thee belongs!

188
00:19:29,919 --> 00:19:33,381
Such is the fate of all who
dare to thwart the gods.

189
00:19:54,568 --> 00:19:55,903
Oh, no.

190
00:20:05,955 --> 00:20:07,540
It's going to fire!

191
00:20:10,501 --> 00:20:11,752
No!

192
00:20:12,169 --> 00:20:13,713
That's mine!

(GASPS)

194
00:20:25,516 --> 00:20:27,393
Maxie, no!

195
00:20:33,065 --> 00:20:34,233
Get down!

(MAX SCREAMING)

197
00:20:57,131 --> 00:21:00,217
Now, this is truly Olympus.

198
00:21:00,301 --> 00:21:02,678
Surely,
it can be no other place.

199
00:21:04,472 --> 00:21:07,391
There's beautiful Demeter,
goddess of the harvest.

200
00:21:11,103 --> 00:21:15,107
And double-faced Janus,
lord of beginnings and endings.

201
00:21:20,446 --> 00:21:24,074
And merry Hermes,
the trickster of the gods.

202
00:21:32,458 --> 00:21:36,545
Now at last,
mighty Zeus is home.
