CHAPTER ONE
Lidya watched as Iolaus flexed his enormous muscles while holding and stirring the pot. The two had just made passionate love and now the partner of the son of Zeus was cooking the girl dinner. Lidya looked at his abs and then his pants, remembering how massive he felt when he
was on top of her. She walked over to him, and put her hands to his chest. He smiled with pleasure. The two kissed,and Iolaus wanted so badly to press into her again, to make her his. He wrapped his arm around her, pressing her to his body. Then, Lydia broke the kiss and screamed. Iolaus looked up and saw a burst of fire slam through
the roof. Lydia wriggled out of his arms, and tried to run out the door, to be stopped by an enormous fireball. Lydia screamed out, "IOOOLLLLAAAUUUSSSS!" before bursting into flames.
"NOOOOOOO!" screamed Iolaus. The fire disappeared and Iolaus could hear Hera's evil laughter. "I'll get you Hera!! Even if its the last thing I do, I swear on my life that I will make you suffer.
Meanwhile, Xena and Gabrielle were at a festival celebrating the Princess Diana's anniversary.
"I hate festivals," muttered Xena, "all there ever is at FESTIVALS are crazy loons and drunks lookin' for a girl for the night. Gabrielle, how can you actually enjoy these? Gabrielle?" Xena
spun around and rolled her eyes when she saw Gabby talking with a man. Xena walked up to
Gabrielle, about to scream her head off at the girl, but then she saw who the man was.
"Hercules!" exclaimed the Warrior Princess. The young man flashed a dazzling smile at Xena and then turned back to his conversation with Gabrielle. "So, you're the Queen of the Amazons now, huh." Gabrielle blushed. "After I defeated Velaska.."
Xena yelled. "HEEEYYYYY! If I REMEMBER correctly, I defeated Velaska!!!"
The Amazon Queen looked at her and shrugged. "Well, you were in my body." Hercules gave Xena a strange look. Xena frowned. "Not like THAT you idiot, I was DEAD!! Don't you remember?!?!? First I was in Autolicous' body and then Gabrielle's. And then hey, whatd'ya know I'm back in my own."
Hercules, still looking at Xena strangely shrugged it off and then looked at the sky. "By the Gods, the stars are bright."
Gabby looked up too, and then screamed. Xena watched in horror as a bright white light from the sky covered the girl."XEEENNAAAAAAAAA!!!" screamed Gabrielle before vanishing.
"NOO!" screamed the Warrior Princess.
"XENAA!" screamed Hercules. The tearful Warrioress turned around just in time to see Hercules vanish in the same manner as Gabrielle.
Xena watched helplessly. "No no no no NOOOOOO!" she screamed. "This is NOT happening." She looked up at the sky and muttered, "I've got to find a way to find them...I've GOT to!"
CHAPTER TWO
When Hercules and Gabrielle had vanished, they were transported to another world and had landed in a room with an enormous bed. Then, all of a sudden, Hercules seemed to be under some kind of spell, and was now determined to get Gabrielle to sleep with him. Hercules smacked Gabrielle hard across the face. "You're mine!" he screamed. He pushed Gabrielle backwards onto the bed.
"NO!" she screamed. Hercules laughed and got on top of her. "G...GET OFF OF MEEEE!" Gabrielle tried to push the son of Zeus off, but he was too massive. He ripped off her clothes, then his, and then laughed and raped her.
Meanwhile Xena had found Iolaus, who was still mourning over beautiful Lydia. But when Xena explained to him about the disappearance of Hercules and Gabrielle, he immediately jumped up.
"Who do you think is behind it?" asked Iolaus.
Xena slowly looked up at the sky. "Ares."
Up on Olympus, Ares was watching all of this. "Xena should be storming in here...right about....NOW."
"AEEIYIYIYIYIYIYIYIYIAAAAYIEEEEE!" Xena's battle cry rang through the air as she threw her chakram.
"Xena, Xena, Xena," laughed Ares. "What EVER would bring you here?"
Xena slammed her fist into Ares's nose. "CHEYIYIYIYIYIYIYAAAAA!" she screamed as she double flipped over his head. Xena then wacked the toe of her boot at Ares's ankles causing him to flip onto his back.
"YOU FILTHY BASTARD!" she screamed. "WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO THEM."
Ares sighed. "Zeus, Hera, Artemis, and I sent them to another world. They'll be back shortly."
Xena frowned and smacked him hard across the face. "WHY!"
Ares kneed Xena in the stomach. "We're giving them a taste of a world where IT has already happened."
Xena smirked. "And what exactly is IT?"
"When destiny is lost." whispered Ares. "All good men become evil. And all evil become good. Like the Soveirien's world. Except here, it's anyone who enters that realm. But there is one exception. Any innocent who has killed will stay the way that they are, because they're both good and bad, like Gabrielle. L..look in the fountain."
Xena glared at Ares and then got up and walked over to the fountain. She gasped when she saw Hercules beating and raping Gabrielle. Iolaus, who had just made it to the top, walked in and saw too.
"How do we save destiny?" Xena asked coldly.
Ares smirked. "I must find the gem of destiny, somewhere in the universe. to do this, Hercules, Gabrielle, Iolaus and you have to fight and defeat your greatest enemies. You just defeated yours, Xena. Iolaus will be next, fighting Hades to get Lydia back. Then, Gabrielle will fight Callisto when I transport her and Hercules
back. And then, the last battle will be between Hercules and Hera. The other Gods don't know about the Battle for Destiny. If you fail against them, you will die."
CHAPTER THREE
Hercules held Gabrielle close to him. He had just raped the girl, and now, he wanted more. "You're all mine," he whispered.
Gabrielle had had enough. "NOO!" she screamed and with all her strength pushed him off. Before he coould get up, her fist collided with his nose, breaking it. She then snapped a kick at his side, and then spit in his face. "WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?!" she asked slamming her foot at his head. "You're SUPPOSED to be a HERO! And you
just RAPED me?!?!?" Gabrielle screamed and knocked him out. She then, put her torn clothes back on.
Then she desperately began looking for a way out of the room. She what he would do to her if she was still there when he came to. Gabrielle banged on the wall harder and harder. "HELP!" she screamed. She sat down in despair and sobbed. There was no way out.
Iolaus and Xena were now making a journey to the portal to the Underworld. If destiny was to be saved, Iolaus had to defeat Hades in battle. "Xena," he said. "How do you defeat a God? I mean, you defeated Ares and all..."
Xena frowned. "Iolaus, he LET me win."
Iolaus sighed. "Oh."
It was hopeless. Xena smiled. "Hades, is one you should defeat by the mind, and not by battle."
Iolaus looked at his feet. "But how do you do that?"
Xena spun around with her chakram in her hand. "Iolaus,drop down NOW!!!" Iolaus immediately flattened himself on the ground as Xena threw the shining weapon. It bounced off of a tree before returning to her hand. "Like that," she laughed.
Iolaus smiled, "So you want me to trick him?"
Xena smiled. "If someone falls for a trick, then you have just mentally defeated them, proving that you are better." Iolaus looked confused, but said nothing. They arrived at the portal. "On
three," whispered Xena. "One....two....THREEE! AEIIYIYIYIYIYIYIYIAEIIIII!" she screamed and flipped into the portal.
"Great," muttered Iolaus and jumped in after her.
Gabrielle gasped and then felt Hercules cup his hand around her mouth. "You're a bad little bitch, aren't you?" He threw her onto the bed and clenched his fists. "Now, it's my turn."
Gabrielle panicked. "No, please, no don't AEEIIIIIII!" Her screams echoed through the night.
CHAPTER FOUR
Gabrielle lay on the ground, bruised and battered. Hercules, who was sitting on top of her, flexed his enormous muscles in front of her and was about to punch her again. "No, please..."pleaded Gabrielle, "no more..."
Hercules smiled and then slapped her across the face. "Oh no no no," he smirked, "I'm just getting started!" With that he brought his fist down smashing her nose.
"AEEEEEEIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!" screamed Gabrielle in pain. Hercules grinned wickedly and then placed his mouth over the screaming girl's. He then laughed. He then broke the harsh
kiss and smacked her once more across the face.
Iolaus and Xena stood at the river of the Styx. "We don't have time for the boat ride," whispered Xena.
Iolaus frowned. "Then what do we do," he asked. Xena grabbed his hand. "WE JUMP ACROSS!"
Iolaus panicked. "Um...Xena, XXEEEENNNNAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"
"AYIYIYIYIYIYIYIYIYIYIYAEEEEIIII!" screamed the Warrior Princess and hurled Iolaus and herself into a flip across the river. Iolaus landed hard on the cold stone. "OOOFFF!" he gasped as Xena landed on top of him.
Xena smiled. "Thanks for breaking my fall."
Then, with a bolt of lightning and a crack of thhunder, a portal ripped open through the wall."LOOK OUT!" screamed Iolaus.
Fireballs shot out of the portal in every direction. Iolaus ducked and pulled out a small dagger from his shoe. He swore under his breath and threw it into the portal. A flash of light and a scream of pain followed.' The fireballs were gone. Out of the portal Hades stepped, the dagger stuck in his chest. "YOU!" he screamed. "HOW DARE YOU ENTER MY REALM BEFORE YOUR TIME!!! LOOK WHAT YOU HAVE DONE!!!" Hades pointed to his chest. Iolaus looked and shrugged. His
dagger was stuck in Hades' heart. Iolaus sighed and pulled the blade out. Hades sighed in relief.
Then, Iolaus realized that he had just defeated Hades. So much for the trickery idea, he thought.
"Um Xena..." said Iolaus, "I think it's time to go now." Xena looked at him and then at Hades.
She realized what Iolaus was thinking. "Damn straight," she said. She screamed her battle cry and pushed Hades out of the way. Then, her and Iolaus jumped through the portal back to the Overworld.
Hercules held a limp, barely consious Gabrielle's neck in his hands. "Nighty, night, little girl!" he whispered and then squeezed. Just then, Gabrielle felt her self being pulled. Hercules felt the
same feeling and the two screamed as they were pulled back into our world.
CHAPTER FIVE
Iolaus and Xena gasped as they landed out of the portal. "All right," said Xena. "I've defeated Ares, you've defeated Hades. That means Hercules and Gabrielle should be coming back, right about...NOW!"
Gabrielle and Hercules landed hard on the ground. Gabrielle gasped. "Where are we? This isn't the festival."
Xena sighed in relief. She was glad that Gabby and Herc did not remember the other world. Hercules would never forgive himself if he found out that he had raped Gabrielle. Funny, thought Xena, she doesn't even have any bruise marks on her. Xena and Iolaus lied and said that Hercules and Gabrielle had been knocked out and had just
awakened. They quickly explained the Battle for Destiny. "So, we have to defeat our greatest enemies?" asked Hercules.
Xena said, "Yes. I've defeated Ares and Iolaus has defeated Hades.
Gabrielle. You have to defeat Callisto."
"Defeat...Callisto...me?" Gabrielle was terrified. Xena smiled. "I guess the trickery thing would work great with you."
Iolaus burst into laughter. "What's so funny?" demanded Gabrielle.
Iolaus couldn't stop laughing. Gabrielle picked up her staff, twirled it around, and slammed it on his cheek. "SHUT UP!" she screamed. Iolaus immediately stopped laughing.
Xena quickly explained. "Oh," said Gabrielle, "I can do THAT." All of a sudden, the trees around them burst into flames. "NO!" screamed Gabrielle, as her staff was engulfed.
Callisto appeared. "I heard my name," she laughed.
Gabrielle's heart filled with hate. The new Goddess standing before her had given her so much pain. She had killed Gabrielle's husband, nearly killed Gabrielle and Xena, and was now a Goddess.
"Tell me," smirked Callisto. "How fast did your heart break when you saw me plunge my sword into your husband? Don't you just want to kill me?"
Gabrielle thought fast. Callisto was more powerful than Ares and Hades comined. She was second only to Hera. Gabby sighed. She knew she couldn't physically defeat her. She had to mentally break her down. "The same way you felt when you saw your family die."
Callisto screamed. "HOW DARE YOU!!!!" she screamed. Fire burst out of her hands. Gabrielle quickly jumped out of the way.
"How did it FEEL Callisto? How did it feel when you heard your sister SCREAMING OUT FOR MERCY??!!!!!!!"
"STOP IT!!!!" screamed Callisto. In a powerful blast of energy, she slammed Gabrielle into a tree. Xena felt helpless. She knew that she Hercules, Iolaus, or herself could not interfere. "How did it feel when you heard that Xena, the Warrior Princess, was responsible for your town's DESTRUCTION?????"
Callisto slapped Gabrielle hard across the face. "YOU DIRTY LITTLE
BITCH!!!" she screamed.
Gabrielle kneed Callisto in the stomach and kicked her away from herself. "How did it feel...HOW DID IT FEEL!!?!?!"
Callisto screamed. "IT HURT!!! It hurt beyond hurt!!! You wanted to know HOW it FELT to watch my family MURDERED!!?!? WELL THERE YOU
GO!!" In a burst of lightning and thunder, Callisto disappeared.
Gabrielle dropped to her knees and sighed. Hercules looked around at the burning trees. Iolaus immediately ran and helped Gabrielle.
"Three down, one to go" whispered Xena.
Hercules spun around and looked at the sky. "Who is it?" he asked.
Xena looked down at her feet. "Hera."
CHAPTER SIX
On Mount Olympus, Hera laughed wickedly and said, "So, whose life shall I ruin today!? The King of Ithica? Meleager the Mighty? Xena? Gabrielle? Jason? Joxer? HAH! I know!! I'll just
ruin all of the....AAAAAIIIIIEEEEEEEEGGGGGHHHH!"
A dagger coated with hinesblood whizzed past her head and slammed into the wall. "YOU!" spat Hera.
Hercules stood at the doorway to her chambers holding sixteen daggers and a vile of Hinesblood. Behind him stood Xena, Gabrielle and Iolaus. Hercules frowned. "Hera, you're finally going to get what you so dearly deserve."
The Goddess yelped as another dagger flew by her.
"You killed my first and second wife!! You murdered Iolaus's only love, Lydia. You've ruined millions of innocent lives. Now, it's YOUR TURN!!"
Hera laughed wickedly. "Do you think that a few daggers and hinesblood will kill the Queen of the Gods? Oh you little bastard, you've got a LOT to learn." She muttered a spell under her
breath and then blasted an enormous forcefield of energy at her stepson. He was smashed against the wall. The daggers, she destroyed with intense heat. Hercules grit his teeth as he tried to break free. Hera laughed wickedly. "You fool! You have forgotten how utterly powerful I am and how hopeless you are!" She squeezed her hand into a
fist. The forcefield tightened.
"NOOOOO!" screamed Hercules, breaking free from the energy. The force of his break blew Hera back. Hercules saw this opportunity. Clutching his vile of hinesblood. He flipped about twenty feet in the air, above all of Hera's attempts at energy blasts, and then landed back beside Xena.
Xena screamed, "OWWWW!" as he ripped off her chakram.
He quickly coated it with hinesblood. "THIS IS IT HERA!!!!!" he screamed, and threw the lethal disk directly at Hera's head.
"NO!" screamed Hera and vanished in a cloud of smoke. "YOU WIN THIS TIME HERCULES....BUT NEXT TIME YOUR HEAD WILL BE ON A SPIKE BY MY
THRONE!!!!!"
The chakram hit the wall, ricocheted off Hera's throne and flew towards Hercules's head.
"CHEEEEEEYIYIYIYIYIYI YIYIYIYYYYAAHAHHHHHHH!" screamed Xena as she spun and kicked the chakram away from the hero's head. It ricocheted off a suit of armor, and then flew back. Xena caught it. Hercules smashed his vile of hinesblood in frustration. Xena put her
hand on his shoulder. "It's over." she smiled.
Gabrielle looked out the window. "Look!" she gasped. "The sky!!" The sky was slowly changing from the hot reddish color to a beautiful blue. "It's beautiful!" cried the bard.
Iolaus came to her and put his arm around her. "Yup." he said.
All of a sudden, there was a loud crash and everyone spun around. It was Ares. "Well done," he said. I found the gem. Everything is as it should be. Destiny is saved." He smiled and silently muttered, "MY destiny to rule Olympus."
Xena laughed as she heard this. "Don't even try Ares."
He winked. "I owe you one." and then vanished in a cloud of dust and smoke.
THE END
