Eros

[Music.]
[Microphone feedback.]
We are gathered here this day to honor a hero with a special Bellenus Medal of Honor for Valiant Efforts in Regards to Helping Citizens of Bellenus.
Ooh.
[Chuckles.]
I might be getting an award today.
- I didn't realize.
- But as we will learn, a hero may not be handsome, couth, or even endowed with basic intelligence.
Luckily, our hero is all of these things.
On this day, we commend Eros Bellenus! [Cheers and applause.]
[Microphone feedback.]
You know, I almost didn't make it here today.
But with my father ailing, I have been called to duty called to the throne.
[Cheers and applause.]
But a king must have a wife, thus my first order of business will be to acquire the legendary Ring of Aventia.
[Cheers and applause.]
- [Gasps.]
He has a knife! - Oh.
Were you, uh, looking for this? [Thwack, thud.]
Don't worry, everybody.
I-I've got the [Knife clinks.]
[Title music.]
Here comes Apollo Gauntlet 1x02 - "Eros" [Dance music playing.]
[Slurps.]
[Slurps too.]
Oh, D-Daphne, uh, how are you, uh How's it going? Didn't know you were gonna be here tonight.
I was going to say, just for the record, I think you should have received a medal today, as well.
M-Medals shmedals.
I-I mean, I don't do this for the accolades.
[Eros laughs.]
Oh, you're terrible.
[Slurps.]
The king thought it would undermine the value of the award if one were given to a vigilante.
Wait, the king called me a vigilante? Oh, my God.
This This is the greatest day of my life.
I mean, you know, being a hero's fine, don't get me wrong, but "vigilante"? Yeah.
Only thing is, as a vigilante [Raspy voice.]
You g You got to talk like this.
I'm gonna clean up these streets.
You got to talk like Nick Nolte.
[Normal voice.]
D-Do you think those guys that get community service talk like that? You know, he's The guy's got the orange jumpsuit on, the pokey stick, and he's like [Raspy voice.]
I'm gonna clean up these streets.
It is court-mandated, but, you know, that's beside the point.
[Laughs.]
- Um, can I ask you a big favor? - Yes'm? Can you keep an eye on Prince Orenthal tonight? I'm just concerned.
Orenthal's really upset about Eros returning to claim the throne.
[Chuckles.]
And he can be moody.
Okay, y-yeah.
I'll do it.
That That's fine.
Thanks, Apollo.
[Slurping.]
[Insects chirping, music stops.]
[Rooster crows.]
[Music.]
"Frampton Comes Alive!" What the hell happened last night? Well, I told you not to do anything I wouldn't do.
- And? - You did.
[Thunder crashes.]
[Door clanks.]
- Where's Prince Orenthal? - Hmm.
Uh H-Hey, hey, Todd, uh, where's Prince Orenthal? Apologies, but, uh, he drank us all under the table, your eminence.
Apollo, he didn't come home last night.
What's the last thing you remember? [Harp strums.]
[Slurring.]
It's not too late.
If I do something heroic, something amazing, - I could still be king.
- Yes, king.
You.
Yes.
The ring! I'll find the Ring of Aventia! Ring.
Find.
Yes, find it.
Yes.
I g I guess he went looking for the - the Ring of Aventia.
- [Gasps.]
What? The ring.
Eros: Here we are the deadly Caves of Chronos.
[Crow caws.]
[Gasps.]
This is Prince Orenthal's.
He is here.
Orenthal wears a necklace with a mirror on it? He's had it since he was a baby.
[Stifled laugh.]
Whatever you do, don't laugh.
Uh, this would be the worst possible time to think about Vanity Smurf.
[Chuckles.]
[Cries.]
Don't worry, Apollo.
We'll find him.
[Muffled.]
I know.
I just I just feel so guilty, you know? Stop fiddling around.
We've got to find him.
It's a maze.
Keep your hand on the right wall, and we won't get lost.
Uh, yeah, everyone knows that, doy.
[Music.]
[Water dripping.]
[Screech in distance.]
Huh? [Monkeys screeching.]
[Speaks indistinctly.]
[Grunting.]
[Screams.]
[Grunting.]
[Laser zapping.]
Eros: Get off me! Apollo: Oh, no.
They're all so small, but in unison, they're able to lift me.
I always knew this was how I'd go.
[Grunting.]
[Screams.]
Light! Hit them with light! Do you want light? Here comes some light.
Right here.
[Bang.]
[Rock crumbling.]
[Screams.]
[Music.]
[Heavy thud.]
[Groans.]
I haven't had a landing that hard since Air Koryo.
Wait, Daphne Uh, careful.
I think I know what this is.
[Bowling pin rolls, arrows fly.]
[Fire hisses.]
How are we gonna get through all of that? Well, I-I should be able to synchronize my movements to a routine I learned in hip-hop dance class.
Excuse me? You're gonna provide the music though, right? - Wait, what are we doing? - Kick it.
[Rapping.]
# Watch me whip my way # As I'm dodging through the traps 'Cause there ain't no competition When traps meets raps I'm ducking and dancing Oops, almost caught a lance in my guts, ay Which would have disemboweled me But here I am, and I'm almost through Trying not to get killed is what I like to do And when I make it, shit Ain't even thinking, shit Everyone take a moment just to please appreciated [Rocks clatter.]
Look Orenthal didn't come through here.
- Of course he didn't.
- What do you mean? He didn't even make it out of the maze.
I saw one of his gloves down another path.
[Chuckles.]
Desperate men begin to place markers when they realize they're hopelessly lost.
Yeah, we got a 51-50 here.
[Over radio.]
That's a big 10-4.
So your obsession with this ring is more important - than your brother's life? - Oh, it's much bigger than that.
This is about restoring the Bellenus family name to its glory.
You really want to fall on the right side of this, Daphne.
- Are you threatening me? - Quite the opposite.
I'm saying you could still be quee All right, I-I think that's enough, Francis Dolarhyde.
Let's let's calm down for a second, here, - and think this through, okay? - Hmm.
I think not! - [Laser zaps.]
Aah! - Ugh.
Leave a message, and I'll call you back.
You shall see, Daphne! The magic of the ring will be our conduit! [Gasps.]
The ring! [Twinkle.]
[Laughs.]
Oh, no.
He's gone insane.
I got to stop him.
[Auto-tuned.]
# Make these gauntlets powerful # [Warble.]
[Groaning.]
[Laser zapping.]
[Warble.]
[Screams.]
[Splat.]
Oof.
I'm guessing this'll be a closed-casket-type situation.
But [Roars.]
Whoa! Jesus.
[Moans.]
[Music.]
[Warble.]
[Thwack.]
[Screams.]
[Water dripping.]
[Thwack.]
[Roars.]
[Twinkle.]
[Splat.]
[Footsteps.]
Apollo! You defeated the protector of the ring! - And look the Ring of Aventia.
- Take it.
Anyway, we better find Orenthal.
[Music.]
[Sobs, sniffles.]
I've made a terrible mistake.
Oh, Daphne! I thought for once I could be the people's hero.
Eros will have such a laugh at this one.
He'll simply explode.
King Bellenus: With sad heart, I must announce the passing of my son Eros.
Rumors abound about how his demise came to pass, but I believe that [sobs.]
he was killed while attempting to save the life of his brother, Orenthal, who somehow came out of the mishap [angrily.]
completely unscathed! I'll kill you.
I'll kill you! I'll kill you! Aah! [Grunts.]
- Unhand me! Treason! - Ooh.
So much for restoring the Bellenus family name to its former glory.
