Sky High

A volcano threatens to erupt and destroy an entire village. Hercules plans to use exploding crystals from Atlantis to divert the lava flow into the sea. Ephiny helps him recruit people from the village to help, including a condemned man named Kurth. It turns out that Kurth was to be put to death for murdering a Centaur, whose father and old gang want to see that sentence carried out immediately. Now, in addition to stopping the volcano, Hercules and Ephiny have to fend off attacks that threaten their mission.
