Xena's Back

By: Mary-Ann

Part 1

While riding in the woods one day on Argo with Gabrielle, Xena was attacked by Callisto. Since Callisto was now
a god, Xena was beginning to lose to her.

"Xena!" Gabrielle screamed as Callisto killed Xena. Gabrielle didn't know what to do. She kept Xena's body and sought
out Hercules.

"Hercules," Gabrielle sobbed when she finally found him," I don't know what to do. What do you think?"

"You'll have to go to Hades and bargain with him. You're good at that."

"How do I find him?"

"Go to Margret's Bay.Dive down as far as you can.When you reach the bottom,there will be a door.Go through it..."

Part 2

"What happens when I go through the door?" asked Gabrielle.

"It's a secret door to Hades's castle. Once you get there and find Hades, you demand that
he bring Xena back to life," Hercules answered.

"What if she doesn't want to leave? What if she's happy with Solan?"

"Who's Solan?" Iolas asked.

Gabrielle looked surprised. "you don't know? Solan is her son."

"Oh."

THREE DAYS LATER

"Good luck Gabrielle."

"Thanks,I'll need it."

Gabrielle took a big gasp of air and dove into the water.She easily found the door, just like Hercules said she would...

Part 3

Gabrielle hesitated a moment then went through the door.As soon as
she went through,she landed on a hard floor.

"OOOOFFFF!"

"Who's there?"Hades asked.

"I-it's...It's Gabrielle.I want you to bring Xena back to life."

"That's not easy to do.You'd have to do something for me.Hmmmmm, now
what seem's appropriate.I know!You'll have to bring me Hope so I may
stop her from letting Dahak into our world."

"Alright.Where is she?"

"Athens."

ONE WEEK LATER

"LET ME GO!"Hope screamed.

"Here you go Hades.Now bring Xena back to life."

"If she wants to,I will."

POOF!In an instant Xena appeared.

"Xena!"

"Gabrielle!What's going on!?!"

"Xena,we need to talk."

20 MINUTES LATER

"So,do you want to come back,Xena?"

"Sure."

THE NEXT DAY

"I sure am glad to be back Gabrielle."

"I'm glad you're back too Xena.Good-night."
