Gabrielle: Xena, you can't just murder someone in cold blood.

Xena strides up beside Gabrielle and whispers very closely into Gabrielle's ear--so closely that lips brush against skin.

Xena: Suck my dick.

Gabrielle swallows--hard.

Gabrielle: Okay.

Xena strides past Gabrielle into the thick of the forest, guiding Argo by the reigns. Gabrielle follows.

-----------

Cut to night, funeral pyre.

Gabrielle: How could you just kill him in cold blood?

Xena: He was a sick murdering rapist, he deserved to die.

Gabrielle: You were a sick murdering rapist once. Didn't he at least deserve a fair trial?

Xena: He deserved nothing.

Gabrielle: I'm sorry, but I can't go there with you. I'm going home.

Gabrielle turns her back on Xena and heads for Potidaia.

Xena: You! ! ! (too frustrated to find the words)

Gabrielle continues walking.

Xena: You are not going back to Potidaia, are you crazy!!

Gabrielle pauses and turns.

G: Sometimes your dark side scares me, I just can't deal with it anymore.

X: Because I killed a murderer and rapist you're leaving me?

G: I'm sorry.

Gabrielle resumes walking.

Xena rushes toward Gabrielle, grabs her, and hoists her over her shoulder.

X: You stupid bitch.

G: (struggling) Put me down. Xena, put me down. I'm not going with you.

Xena throws her over the back of Argo, just behind the saddle, and ties her down. Xena mounts Argo and drives her over the hill.

X: You want to go to Potidaia, I'll take you to Potidaia.

--------------

Evening, the next day. Gabrielle is still tied to the back of the horse and is visibly worse for the wear. Xena looks as though she didn't sleep or eat for the whole journey, she's dirty with road dust and basically looks extremely ticked off.

They ride into Potidaia, the villagers stare in horror and amazement. Xena pulls up in front of Gabrielle's parent's front yard.

Gabrielle's family comes running out.

Mother: I hope that's not my Gabrielle.

Xena: What, this piece of shit. Oh no, this isn't Gabrielle, this . . . this is your other daughter, your granddaughter, Hope. Remember her? Yeah, we just came back to pay a visit, yeah, that's it. She was sure missing you, she sure wanted to see her family again.

G: (looks up dizzily) Mother?

Xena follows the others with Gabrielle lugged over her shoulder into the house.

Mother: Well, it's good to have you home. It's good to see you too Xena. We've just got a humble place here, not much really, but I guess you can sleep in Lila's room. Lila can sleep in the barn, she doesn't mind the animals.

Xena winks at Lila.

X: Thanks, Lila.

Lila: But Mom . . .

Mother: Now, Lila.

Xena takes her heavy load into the bedroom and dumps her on the bed.

Gabrielle, road-weary and badly shaken by her uncomfortable ride, is faint with exhaust and dehydration and falls immediately asleep.

--------------------

Later that night, in front of the family hearth.

Mother: Gabrielle has sure taken a shine to you.

Lila: Yeah, she ran away from home and left all her family just to be with you.

Father: (glaring) I don't know what you did to my daughter or how you managed to seduce her away from the people who love her but if I ever see or hear of you laying one finger on her I'll dedicate every minute of the rest of my life to destroying you and everything you stand for.

Xena: (stretching) I'd love to stay and chat but, gosh, I'm beat. Good night everyone, see you in the morning.

-----------------

Inside the bedroom.

Gabrielle: (sickly) Water.

Xena cradles Gabrielle's head in her arms and lifts the cup of water to her lips. Gabrielle finishes off the water then lean backs. She looks to have recovered from her ordeal. She stares sweetly into Xena's eyes, then past them.

Knitting needles and other pointed objects start hovering in mid-air on the other side of the room. They're all aimed at Xena's head.

X: I don�t think so, HOPE.

Xena whips out a large double-phallused dildo, points it at Hope, then straps it on. Hope is taken back. The pointed objects hover closer. In one motion Xena throws Hope face down onto the bed and rips her skirt off. So shocked and overpowered Hope looks on in disbelief, before she has time to blink Xena mounts, thrusts, and penetrates--you know, in both places. Hope lets out a cry, the hovering objects drop onto the floor--Hope has been dispossessed of her powers. She struggles in vain against Xena, but the relentless thrusting continues. Xena owns her now, and she knows it.

Alerted by strange bumps in the night and the sound of Hope's cry, Father gets out of bed and pushes the bedroom door ajar. Aghast at the sight of Xena mounting his daughter, he lunges forward. But hesitates. Xena looks him square in the eye and continues with her business completely unnerved and indifferent to his presence. He gnashes his teeth, tries to speak, grows red and steams with rage. He holds up a fist--but then, it's all he can do to get out a few words.

Father: Whore! . . . Miscreant!

In the meantime, Mother has been roused and stares over father's shoulder.

Mother: Oh, my.

Father marches out of the room and slams the door. Xena continues her assault for some time. Finally, sweat-drenched and exhausted, Xena lies down against Hope's back, slides a gentle arm around her victim's neck and whispers in her ear.

X: Was it as good for you as it was for me?

Xena kisses the side of Hope's head, then falls asleep on top of her. Hope is struck dumb and remains in a state of permanent shock.

------------------

The next morning, in front of the family hearth.

X: (stretching and yawning) I don't know about you but I slept like a baby.

She strides out to the barn to check on Argo. Lila is asleep in the hay but there is no sign of Argo.

X: Lila, wake up. Have you seen my horse?

L: (half-asleep and disoriented) I didn't touch him there, I swear.

X: What?

L: Oh, Xena, um, your horse? He was here earlier. He must have wandered off.

Xena runs out of the barn and scours the area. She spots his trail and takes off.

Xena tromps through the forest then spots Argo drinking at a stream up ahead. She heads for him but turns around when she hears rustling behind her. Out of the brush stumbles a lost and confused Gabrielle.

Their eyes meet. They search each other, and having both found exactly what they were looking for they begin to gush with emotion.

G: Xena.

X: Gabrielle?

They run toward each other and embrace passionately. Tears well up in their eyes, and so overcome they find a place to sit on a nearby log. They embrace again and touch each other's hair and face.

X: I thought I'd lost you forever. But then I found you. But then I lost you again. And now I've found you.

G: I tried to send for you. Did you get my message?

X: Yes, but at the time I thought I'd already found you so I didn't pay any attention.

G: Xena . . . I can't hold . . . on.

Gabrielle collapses into Xena's arms. After awhile she comes to, but her visage is considerably changed. She notices her staff lying beside her.

G: What am I doing with this thing? I thought I got rid of this. My way is the way of love. All I've ever wanted to do is heal . . . people . . . (spotting dildo on Xena's hip holster) What's this thing?

Gabrielle collapses again. Then comes to, now changed back to how she was before. She's struggling with an internal battle, as though taken by a violent fever.

G: Xena, you have to help me . . . I've been possessed . . . Dahak . . . Bacchae . . . that Indian goddess . . . what's her name

X: Oh, Gabrielle. We've got to find Eli.

G: No, no. Eli . . . work with . . . Dahak.

Gabrielle faints again, she's down for the long haul. Xena picks her up and puts her on Argo. Walking along and supporting her from the side Xena tries to comfort her, and herself.

X: It's okay, Gabrielle. We'll beat this thing. I'm taking you to . . . to the place where this all started. Yes, we'll go back to where this all started and put an end to it once and for all. I'm taking you to Britannia.

A voice calls out from behind.

Hope: Xena, you weren't going to leave me were you?

Xena: Hope. I thought you wanted to go home.

H: Hope belong to Xena now.

X: Come on then. But no telekinesis, got it.

Hope is suddenly giddy as a school girl and skips along behind Xena.

--------------

Scenic shot of the boat sailing to Britannia. Xena, an unconscious Gabrielle, and an adoring Hope stand on the deck staring out over the sea toward their destination.

Hope: Are we really going to Britannia? Can we visit Father?

Xena: Yeah, we can visit Father.

---------------

The girls arrive in Britannia, hire some pack horses, and head for Dahak's old temple.

A few hundred yards from the temple (now Stonehenge) they're suddenly besieged by a band of motley raiders.

Using her many skills Xena fights them all off and puts the pinch on one of them.

X: Who do you work for?

Raider: B-B-Boadicea.

X: Boadicea? What happened to her after the war with Caesar? Did she defeat him?

Raider: No, we were completely outnumbered. Caesar slaughtered most of our tribe. The few that survived, including Boadicea, have gone underground. We're starving. We have nothing and winter's coming, we've had to resort to raiding to stay alive.

Xena takes the pinch off.

X: Take me to Boadicea.

-------------------

They're led to an underground cave. Xena enters and hears a voice out of the darkness.

Boadicea: Xena?

As Xena's eyes adjust to the darkness she begins to make out the figure of a beaten and emaciated Boadicea.

X: Boadicea.

B: You disappeared in the middle of the battle. I wondered what happened to you.

X: My friend was in danger.

B: Gabrielle? Is she here?

X: She's outside, unconscious. Something happened to her here last time at the temple of Dahak and I've come back to fix it.

B: Yes, I heard. She gave birth to evil incarnate. Quite a handful, I'd guess.

X: Can you help us?

B: I don't know why I should. You betrayed me once and deserted me a second time. But maybe if I help your friend you can help me.

X: What do you want me to do?

------------------

Gabrielle and Hope are led down into the cave. Boadicea attends to Gabrielle who is laid out on a bed.

B: Hmmm . . . yes, she's had a pretty rough time of it I'd say.

X: It's been one possession after the other with her. She's got so many demons running around inside of her, she can't get a word out between them.

Boadicea looks over at Hope.

B: Who's that?

X: That's evil incarnate. Dahak's daughter.

B: Oh. I figured you would have put her out by now.

X: I did, several times. She keeps coming back.

B: Is she dangerous?

X: A few knives flying around now and then, but I think we got that under control.

Xena glares at Hope. Hope smiles back, sweet and demure.

X: What do you suggest for Gabrielle?

B: We British have a medicine that usually does the trick. Servant?

A servant girl comes to Boadicea's side

B: Bring us some tea please.

Servant: Earl grey?

B: Yes, that'll do.

The servant girl returns in a few minutes carrying a silver tea set.

Boadicea, Xena, and Hope enjoy a tea party together, with Boadicea administering a sip now and then to Gabrielle.

X: It's quite a cozy place you have here.

B: It's damp and dark, but it suits us.

Boadicea lifts Gabrielle's head, pries her mouth open, and pours down some tea.

B: There, we'll have you up and about in no time.

Hope: Hope belong to Xena now.

Boadicea stares at Hope.

X: Shut up, Hope.

Gabrielle begins to stir. Xena rushes to her side.

X: Gabrielle? Gabrielle?

G: Xena?

She opens her eyes.

G: Where am I?

X: We've come back to Britannia. Boadicea is going to help reverse all this crap about Dahak and demon children and henna tattoos and whatever the hell all that way of love stuff was about.

G: Oh.

B: Here, drink this. It will help. (hands her a cup of tea)

G: (shocked by the sight of Hope) What is she doing here?!

X: It's okay, I've got a handle on her now. (Pats the dildo on her side)

Hope: Hope belong to Xena now.

G: Xena, I remember now. When we were in India visiting our future lives, she was there too. She trapped me there. I tried to follow you, but it was too late. And then I think I fell into a deep pit in the ground. I got knocked against some rocks. When I awoke I was in a hospice and back in my old body. I tried to send word to you.

X: I know, I know. But everything is okay now. Drink your tea.

Boadicea pulls Xena aside.

B: I'm certain I can save her, but you might not like the method I'm going to use. When it comes time, if you need to, I'll understand if you want to step outside.

X: No, me and Gabrielle are in this together. We do everything together.

Boadicea returns to Gabrielle's side.

B: Did you like the tea? Good. Now that you're conscious we need to continue the rest of the treatment. You see, we British have a method that is quite successful in curing such cases. It's called a spanking and a good talking too. It will hurt a little bit, but afterwards you'll feel much better.

X: Boadicea, I can't let you do this. If anyone is going to spank Gabrielle it's going to be me.

B: Okay, Xena. But I'll stay in case you need my assistance.

X: Gabrielle pull down your underpants and put yourself over my knee.

 

G: Xena, I don't believe in corporeal punishment. My path is the way of love.

X: Oh no, the demons have taken over again.

B: We'll have to do this the hard way.

Boadicea grabs Gabrielle and forces her over Xena's knee. Xena lifts up her skirt to expose her bare ass, then administers five sharp spanks. Gabrielle screams and tries to wrestle away from Xena. Xena holds her firmly and administers more spankings until Gabrielle is subdued and whimpering quietly.

B: (Patting Gabrielle on the head) There now that wasn't so bad was it?

Xena releases Gabrielle who promptly turns and climbs into Xena's arms. Xena cradles her like a baby and wipes the tears away from her eyes. Eventually Gabrielle stops whimpering and falls asleep in Xena's embrace. Shaken and exhausted from the ordeal, and teary-eyed herself, Xena falls asleep too.

Boadicea covers Xena and Gabrielle with a fur blanket then turns to Hope.

B: Now to take care of you.

Boadicea grabs Hope by the ear and leads her out of the cave toward Stonehenge, followed by Boadicea's bodyguards. As they tromp through the forest suddenly the Banshees appear. They rush toward Boadicea and try to knock her around.

B: Get out of my way girls, this doesn't concern you.

Banshee: The dark one's daughter is always our concern.

B: Good then. Perhaps you can help. You see Hope here, the dark one's daughter, is dying to go home and see her old man again. But I'm not sure how to get her there?

Banshee: Oh, we can help you. Follow us.

The Banshees lead them to Stonehenge.

Banshee: This is his place right here. We don't know what all these huge stones mean--we think maybe he tells time by them or something.

Banshee2: No, this is where he sacrifices the virgins.

B: Yes, well how do we get Hope back to him.

Banshee: Oh, that's easy. Just lift up that stone there. Under it's a big cavern with flames leaping around at the bottom. Just push her in.

B: Just push her in? Won't falling all that way hurt her?

Banshee: Well, maybe a little.

B: Perhaps, you Banshees, seeing how you are so powerful and capable, could escort her down. I'm sure Dahak would be very grateful to you for helping his daughter.

Banshee: Yes, I suppose we could do that.

H: But, but Hope belong to Xena.

B: That's right Hope, you do belong to Xena. And Xena wants you to go have a nice visit with your father. When she's ready she'll come for you. I promise.

The Banshees escort Hope down the deep entrance way to Dahak's kingdom. Boadicea signals to her men.

B: Now!

Boadicea's men replace the stone over the top of the entrance, trapping Hope and the Banshees inside.

B: There, that ought to do it.

-----------------------------

Boadicea and her men return to the cave to find Xena and Gabrielle naked in bed together, Xena is smoking a cigarette.

B: Well, you didn't waste any time.

Xena passes the cigarette to Gabrielle.

X: Did you take care of Hope?

B: Yes, we sent her home.

X: For good?

B: I would say so. How is Gabrielle?

X: Better than ever.

B: (to G) Feeling like yourself again, are you?

G: Yes, I think so. I mean it's been so long since I've been myself, but I'm pretty sure this is the real me now.

B: There's only one way to be sure. Xena, you better administer the second part of the medicine now--a good talking to.

X: (to G) Do you remember our trip to India?

G: Hated it.

X: Good. And the way of love?

G: The way of what?

X: Where's your staff?

G: Right here by my side, of course.

X: Dahak, Hope, Bacchus, that Indian Goddess what's her name, Aidan, Perdicus?

G: Xena, I know, I've done a lot of really . . . unexplainable stuff, but I swear, none of it . . . not any of those times was it really me. I mean I can remember it, because I was there, but I didn't have control. The demons had all of it. Remember when I married Perdicus?

X: Yes.

G: Well, remember right before that I had been possessed by Bacchus. And we killed Bacchus. But he's a god, and somehow he came back in the form of Perdicus, and I was possessed by him again you see. He forced me to marry him, I didn't want to. (She begins to sob) I kept hoping that you would break in and stop it. But, but the wedding night--I fought him Xena, I managed to fight him off.

X: I know, I know. I was right there outside making sure you were okay. I'd lined the bed with garlic and it weakened him.

G: Oh, so that was the smell. And you knew it was Bacchus all along?

X: Yes, why did you think I let Callisto kill him? I had it all planned out. I wasn't going to let anything happen to you.

Xena hugs and comforts Gabrielle.

G: But there were other times, Xena, I betrayed you. The time you left for Chin. Ares helped me, but I was possessed by Dahak. And when I tried to protect Hope, that was Dahak too. Xena, can you ever forgive me? I never� if I could have� I would never have done that, if I was in control I would never have done that.

X: I forgive you Gabrielle, I know now that it wasn't you.

G: And I don't know what happened in India. But none of it was me. There was that Aidan guy and that horrible place. I hate yoga, I don't think I'll ever get the kink out of my neck. And then there was that Indian goddess whats-her-name. And then suddenly we were in our future lives and that's when Hope showed up and threw me down another really deep pit. And that's all I remember until I found you again in the forest outside Potidaia.

They hug again.

X: Gabrielle, I've missed you so much. But I've got you back now, thanks to Boadicea, and that's all I care about.

Xena kisses Gabrielle on the head and then the lovers stare deeply into each others eyes. They kiss again, this time on the lips. The kiss grows deeper, farther, and longer, and Xena begins sucking on Gabrielle's neck and shoulders. Gabrielle lowers herself, pulling Xena on top of her, Xena forces a knee between Gabrielle's legs and spreads her open, then begins humping her. Gabrielle moans. Boadicea's men stare on, appearing more hot and bothered by the second. Boadicea clears her throat. Xena finally stops and turns around.

X: So, what did you do with Hope?

B: We talked the Banshees into escorting her down Dahak's hole and after they went in we slapped a huge stone over the top.

X: What?! That's not going to hold them. Is that the best you could think of?

B: Well, I don't see . . .

X: You know Boadicea, that's what's wrong with you, you just don't know how to see something through. No wonder Caesar creamed you guys.

Xena throws on her leathers and heads out. Boadicea and her gang follow. Gabrielle lags behind. When she goes to sit down to put her boots on she immediately jumps back up.

G: Ow! Gods Xena. I'm not going to be able to sit for a week.

---------------------

Outside the cave Xena is looking about trying to come up with a plan. She commands Boadicea and several of her men to follow her on horseback. They race to Stonehenge.

Man: This is the stone here. It hasn't been moved.

X: Good, then they're still trapped and we've got time to act.

Xena's attention is suddenly called to some fireworks being set off in the distance.

X: What the hell is that? Boadicea, come with me, the rest of you stay here and make sure they don't get out.

Xena and Boadicea ride off into the forest to investigate the strange crackling fire balls in the sky. The fireworks show continues and they follow the sound to a small clearing. Xena recognizes the figure from a distance.

X: Lao Ma?

Lao Ma: Xena!

Lao Ma comes flying toward Xena and embraces her.

L: I've been looking all over for you.

X: I thought you were dead. They told me Ming Tien killed you.

L: No, I just pretended to be dead, then I escaped. Please, do you really think I'd let that little bastard kill me. Me? With all my super-natural powers. You should know me better than that.

X: Oh, it's so good to see you. But unfortunately I can't talk now. You see there's this evil god and his demon child that I've got to destroy first.

L: Maybe I can help.

Xena, Boadicea, and Lao Ma return to Stonehenge. Gabrielle has caught up and joined the men guarding the stone.

X: Who let her out.

G: Xena, it's me Gabrielle. You left me back there, I had to run . . .

Xena quickly turns Gabrielle around. Holding her head down under her arm, Xena bends her over and lifts up her skirt, exposing her red ass.

X: The welts are still there, I guess it must be you. I'm sorry, but I can't be too sure these days.

G: It's okay. So are you going to introduce me?

X: Gabrielle this is Lao Ma. Lao Ma this is Gabrielle.

G: Wha . . .

They shake hands and Lao Ma bows.

G: I thought you were dead.

L: No, I'm still alive. I just wanted everyone to think I was dead so I could have some time to travel and introduce the world to my new invention.

G: So you're the one who taught Xena all that cool martial art stuff. You've got to teach me too. Xena won't show me a thing. She wants to keep me weak and dependent. The only reason why I know how to use this staff is because the Amazons trained me. I'm the Amazon Queen, you know. I bet Xena didn't tell you that.

L: No, actually . . .

G: Yeah, Xena doesn't really like to talk about me much. But she's got it bad for me if you know what I mean.

L: Gabrielle, I have been blessed or cursed with the ability to see into people's souls and I can tell that you are a remarkable woman. Capable of great things.

G: Thanks.

X: Hey, that's the same line she used on me.

B: Excuse me girls, but we've got a mission here. Does anyone have any ideas on how to keep those miserable demons from escaping?

X: La Mao, those crackling fire balls you were setting off earlier, could I see them?

L: Certainly.

X: Xena takes some fireworks and walks over to the other side of the clearing to play around with them.

G: So, Lao Ma, what was Xena really like back then?

L: Well, let me tell you, she was quite a challenge if you know what I mean. I thought I'd finally tamed her but I was sorely disappointed.

B: Oh, no one can tame Xena. She's a wild one to the very core. I should know. I had her when she was at her worst, and her best. Thank Zeus, Prasutagas never walked in on us.

G: Whoa, I don't know what Xena you're talking about, but since she's been with me she's been gentle as a lamb. Except for those times when she beats me up, but still, I've changed her a lot. Yep, that's right. I've got her eating out of the palm of my hand.

B: You've got her eating out alright, but I don�t know if it's your palm.

Lao Ma, Boadicea and her men all have a hearty chuckle.

G: You're just jealous, 'cause I succeeded where you both failed. And now the warrior princess is mine and you can't stand it. That's why you didn't want to tell Xena when the Romans captured me, isn't it, Boadicea?

The sound of a stone being moved is heard. The group surrounds the exposed portion of the pit and waits with weapons pointed to attack anything that might crawl out.

G: Xena! The stone is moving!

Xena rushes back.

X: I think I've got something here. The black powdery stuff that's in the fire balls--I poured it all out into these hollow branch tube things. Yeah, see, and then I tied together all these fuses to make one really long fuse. So all we have to do is drop in these tubes, light the end of the fuse, get as far away as we can, then watch it all explode.

G: Okay, yeah, that'll work.

X: Come on, Gabrielle, you've got to have faith.

 

B: We don't have time to have faith. The stone keeps moving and they're going to be out any second. Xena's, uh, tube powder branch things will just have to work.

Hope: (from within the pit) Xena? Have you come for me? Father says hi . . .

Xena drops the tubes down the hole then lights the fuse.

They all leap onto their horses, Lao Ma on the back of Boadicea's and Gabrielle on the back of Xena's, and ride off as fast as they can. After a couple hundred yards or so they stop and hear a huge explosion. Earth, rocks, and debris is thrown a mile into the sky and begins to fall around them. They all run for cover, but Xena doesn't know which woman to protect. Finally she sees Gabrielle glaring at her and she runs to her and covers her with her body. Boadicea, seeing Lao Ma in danger, pulls her over and under her. Their eyes lock in a gaze for several long seconds.

Finally the debris stops falling and they all climb to their feet. Curious, they march back to Stonehenge which is now a huge crater in the earth.

Man: You destroyed a priceless national monument.

X: It was just a bunch of rocks.

Man: But, but . . .

X: Come on Gabrielle, I think our job is done here.

 

G: Do you really think Hope and Dahak are gone forever?

X: I'm willing to bet my life on it.

Xena lifts Gabrielle into her arms and swings her around. Gabrielle lets out a shout of glee. The others look on with nausea.

-----------------------------

Back at the harbor. Xena and Gabrielle are about to board the ship.

X: (to Lao Ma) You'll be sure to come and visit us if you're ever in Greece.

L: Of course, it's definitely a stop on my world tour. But for now I think I'd like to stay in Britannia for awhile. Boadicea has offered to show me the sites.

X: (hugging Boadicea) Thank you so much for helping me get my Gabrielle back. I promised to help you, I don't know why you won't come back with us. I could set you and your people up in a really nice village in Greece.

B: I know Xena, but my home is here. Besides me and Lao Ma have got some ideas for other uses for that black powdery exploding stuff, and if you don't mind we'd like to take out a patent on your exploding branch tubes.

X: It's all yours. Have fun.

 

Gabrielle hugs Boadicea and Lao Ma goodbye as well.

G: Thank you Boadicea, I owe you everything. And Lao Ma, it was so good to meet you. Take care.

Xena and Gabrielle board the ship and sail off for home into the sunset. The gang waves to them and throws streamers from the pier. Lao Ma sets off some fireworks. As the fireworks explode above their head the hero and the sidekick turn toward each other.

X: It's good to have you back, kid.

G: I love you, Xena.

They embrace and kiss. The kiss grows deeper, longer, farther--tongues appear. This continues through the end of the credits.

THE END

FADE OUT
