Hey guys! Sorry for not updating anything lately but I have not abandoned anything so just be patient with me coz I'm having sever writers block at the moment. Any way I was watching Hercules: Surprise! With Callisto and couldn't help but imagine Goku in place of Hercules and making this the beginning of my DBZ and Xena crossover. You'll see what I mean. Enjoy!

Surprise!
Chapter: One
Below Uranus (sky), Gaia (earth), and Pontus (sea) is Tartarus. It is a deep, gloomy place, a pit, or an abyss used as a dungeon of torment and suffering that resides beneath the underworld. Souls were judged after death and those who received punishment were sent to Tartarus.
Tartarus is used as a prison for the worst of villains, including Cronus, the Saiyans, and the other Titans who were thrown in by Zeus.
The Realm of Hades is the place of the dead, Tartarus also has a number of inhabitants. Tartarus is the place where sinners are sent. Its been described it as a gigantic place, surrounded by the flaming river Phlegethon and triple walls to prevent sinners from escaping from it. It is guarded by a hydra with fifty black gaping jaws, which sits at a screeching gate protected by columns of solid adamantine, a substance akin to diamond so hard that nothing will cut through it. Inside, there is a castle with wide walls, and a tall iron turret. Tisiphone, one of the Erinyes who represents revenge, stands guard sleepless at the top of this turret lashing a whip. There is a pit inside which is said to extend down into the earth twice as far as the distance from the lands of the living to Olympus. At the bottom of this pit lie the Titans, the twin sons of Aloeus, and many other sinners. Still more sinners are contained inside Tartarus, with punishments similar to those of Greek myth.

Almost 3,000 years has past since Callisto was thrown in Tartarus, which has nearly destroyed her. Now she was weak, thinner than before, and very pale, tortured by all her crimes.
She paced back and forth groaning, whimpering, and sobbing as flashbacks of Xena destroying Cirra began to resurface; all those people she had killed began to haunt her. Xena never being tried for her crimes against her and countless others that she left devastated in her path. No. She gets to go to heaven while she gets punished and blamed for her crimes.
She lets out an agonizing shriek that echoed through out the underground as she crumbled to the ground in pure despair.
"Poor Callisto. Such rage unfulfilled."
Callisto looked up from her grief but saw no one. She sobbed, "Who are you?"
A flash revealed a pair of eyes but nothing more. "A fan. Your crusade against Xena was so vibrant. Too bad it had to end unsatisfied. Look at you."
Callisto chuckled as she realized who it was. "Hera? Afraid to show your ugly face?"
Hera responded by laughing. "Your irreverence endears you to me, like a pet."
"What do you want?" Callisto asked wanting to get to the point.
"To see you smile again. I offer you another chance to carry on your mission against Xena."
Even though Xena was dead, that didn't mean she couldn't still carry on her mission. She would be alive again to cause more chaos and death while she would be stuck in the other world, unable to do anything to stop her. Callisto smiled at the helpless look that would adorn Xena's face as she destroyed everything that she held dear. "I'm listening."
"I'll give you on more day of life and a chance at immortality. But if you fail, you're back here forever."
"What do I have to do?"
"I want you to kill Son Goku, the last known Saiyan alive."
Callisto's smile was deadly, almost like a shark spotting a bleeding prey, and she laughed. "Goku?"
Oh, she knew all about Goku. The strongest warrior, on pare with Hercules, in the universe, and the world's renowned hero. She has been looking forward to meeting him and now she can, but not just meet him but also kill him.
Callisto began to laugh wickedly as well as Hera as she teleported her out of Tartarus.
