One Warrior Princess

I don't own Xena, or an Amazon Barbiecus doll

Guess what? I've reedited this chapter too

Callisto was not wishing to fight Evil Xena. Xena told Borias to stay out of this, it was between the two Xenas. Evil Xena leapt into action. They both pulled their chakrams. Xena noticed that Evil Xena's was different. Evil Xena spoke smiling, "This is a gift from chaos. From your future. A future that will now never occur. It is a mix between the dark and light chakram. Unifying their dual natures (hint). Good and Evil. He called it the Yin Yang Chakram."

Evil Xena and Xena threw their chakrams at each other. The two chakrams collided in the air and bounced off each other and back into their respective owners hands. Another toss and they bounced back into each other again. Xena, catching her chakram threw it again. Evil Xena threw hers as well, but Xena saw that she did it slightly different.

The Yin Yang Chakram collided with the dark chakram send it back at Xena as the Yin Yang Chakram split into two peices. Xena leapt dodging her own and the two halves of the other chakram Xena landed catching her chakram and throwing it at evil Xena and then leapt again dodging the yin yang chakram which was still bouncing around the cave.

As Evil Xena caught the dark chakram, the two halves of the other chakram came together as Xena landed and caught it. They charged at each other each with a chakram in hand as they tried to slice into each other with the rounded weapons. The chakrams clanged off each other as each tried blow after blow on each other. The two Xenas stared each other down as the chakrams locked up.

Then after pulling back Xena separated the Yin Yang Chakram and charged out again as evil Xena blocked each blow. Xena swung in a near windmill type maneuveur as Evil Xena blocked a shot with the Dark Chakram in her left hand, while avoiding a shot coming from the right.

Both Xenas shouted their warcry as they leapt around each other, effectively changing positions, then charging again at each other. A near hit from the chakram halve in Xena's left hand, while the Dark Chakram in Evil Xena's hands barely avoided Xena's forehead.

Breaking off and backing away three feet they both threw the chakrams at each other again. This time they both began to bounce around the cave in seemingly random directions. Callisto ducked to avoid the yin yang chakram, seeing Borias exposed she took him down as the dark chakram came at his throat.

As the chakrams bounced around the cave Xena and evil Xena launched into a series of hand to hand attacks. Xena went for the throat as evil Xena blocked the shot with a pressure point attack that went for the shoulder which Xena blocked. Xena leapt over and around evil Xena dodging the yin yang chakram.

The two Xena's rapidly exchanged fists. Xena would block a blow with her left hand and strike with her right hand that Evil Xena would block that with her own left hand. Neither could make contact with the other. Evil Xena ducked, doing an attempted leg sweep on Xena while the Dark Chakram flew over Evil Xena having barely missed her. Xena's skillful block of the leg sweep did not give her the advantage as Evil Xena made another attack at Xena's ribcage which she blocked skillfully with her right hand.

The two warriors caught their respective chakrams as they both decided one another course of action. With their fingers out they both went for pressure points on the others body. Xena managed to block Evil Xena's left hand but took a shot from Evil Xena's fingers from her right hand on the neck. Xena had also only managed to get one hand in on the Evil Xena's neck.

Both Warriors stepped back for a second. Neither had got the full affect of the pinch as one of the jugulars was blocked by the pinch and the other was not. Effortlessly both Xenas opened the blocked artery with their fingers.

Now they both pulled their swords as the two made eye contact staring into each pair of blue eyes. Both Xenas were smiling as they were enjoying the battle.

Xena aimed for a spot in the cave and threw her chakram while Evil Xena threw her own chakram at it the other one. A glancing blow sent the chakram off of a different spot of the wall and back at Xena as she had to dodge the unexpected direction of the dark chakram, she while in the air caught the yin yang chakram and threw it at Evil Xena while still in the air.

Evil Xena rolled backwards as the chakram bounced off of the floor where she had been standing. Evil Xena caught the yin yang chakram while Xena caught the dark chakram. They both finally put them away.

They both leapt into the air with the signature war cry simultaneously sounding from both of them. They crossed blades as they landed on their feet just in front of each other. Blade after blade and nothing. Neither could cut through each other. Neither could be defeated. Neither could touch one another. It was fruitless.

However the fight continued with a high swing for the head from Xena after dodging a low knee attack by Evil Xena, finally leading to a leaping diving sword thrust by Xena which Evil Xena blocked, then motioned into to a roundhouse kick which Xena caught. Xena then tried to throw evil Xena but she flipped out of it and landed on her feet. They were evenly matched.

Xena looked at Callisto. Xena had an idea. Xena took blow after blow allowing herself to lose the advantage. Xena fell to the ground. Evil Xena smiling said, "This was to easy." Xena made eye contact with Callisto.

Callisto saw the person she once hated. The one who killed her parents. She saw the one who she had wanted to suffer so much in her life, lying their on the ground about to die. A feeling came over her. She did not want Xena to die. Not because she would die, but because Xena had become her friend. Xena saw that Callisto could escape her demons. In a rush of emotion Callisto drew her sword and stabbed Evil Xena from behind in the heart. She killed evil Xena not for vengeance but to protect someone she cared about.

Blood came out Evil Xena's mouth. Callisto pulled the sword out of her body. Callisto threw it to the ground wanting to get the blade away from her. Evil Xena fell into the arms of Xena. Evil Xena said, "Find and take care of Gabrielle." The evil Xena died. She lost her form and revealed the creature she was. The reptilian creature that Chaos changed her from. Evil Xena was dead.

Callisto had killed Xena. Not the real one, but killed her nonetheless. She looked at Xena. Xena stared at her back wordlessly at Callisto who seemed overcome with emotion. Xena said approaching Callisto, "Callisto, you killed the monster that killed your family. You did not do it out of vengeance but rather to save a life." Xena took Callisto's hand, "there is honor in this. Your mother would be proud." Callisto looked at Xena. She had nothing to say. As Xena took the Yin Yang Chakram and the Dark Chakram.

Xena looked at the two chakrams and said "There is no point to me having two chakrams. Callisto, pick one for yourself." Xena held out both chakrams for Callisto to choose from. Callisto reached out and took the Dark Chakram. It would be hers now.

Then a massive crash was heard as each warrior readied their weapons at the sound. A figure floated in front of them and landed on her feet facing the three warriors before her. Xena said coldly, "Alti."

Alti replied, "Yes Xena. I see their can only be one warrior princess. But your too late, I have the power Xena. The heart of Chaos is mine." She began to generate power. Before Xena could say run Alti launched a blast wave at them. They were all taken down.

Alti laughed. She had won. The power was hers. Then Xena slowly got up to her feet with her steely gaze aimed at Alti. Alti stopped. She was in complete shock. They should be dead. Alti tried to bring the mountain down on them but all she could was cause a minor shaking of the ground.

Xena smiled as she said, "What's wrong, found out Chaos is a liar? What of his great power that maintained the world."

Alti shouted filled with rage, "Chaos! You tricked me! Chaos!"

Xena said coldly, "Alti you have failed. Chaos knew what you were going to do all along. He set this up to get me here. You, the great Alti, you were played."

Alti shouted full of anger focusing on her enemy in front of her, "No! Xena! I will kill you! Then I will find Chaos and kill him!"

Alti flew at Xena but Xena jumped kicked her back into some rocks. Alti returned to her feet. Alti said "Xena, Callisto, join me. Together we can defeat Chaos. Rule this entire world Xena. Xena, let us tap in the sheer naked will that runs this world. Xena, join me."

Xena replied, "No Alti, all you can bring is death. Nothing good can ever come from you."

Alti unleashed the power of the heart of Chaos on Xena. It hurt Xena, but she withstood it. Alti felt weak. Xena noticed Alti seemed less of herself. Xena saw her chance. Xena said raising her hands tauntingly, "Alti, you witch. What can you do accept a few card tricks?" Alti attacked again full of rage, but it had less affect. Alti continued to weaken. Xena asked pointing at her, "How does it feel Alti? To be weak and powerless, like your victims were?"

Alti shouted enraged, "I'll show you my power Xena." She concentrated all her energy at Xena. This time it didn't even affect the warrior.

Xena said sternly, looking in disdain at the shamaness, "Your dying Alti. You have fallen so perfectly into his trap, and now you can't escape. You have fulfilled your own destiny. You have destroyed yourself."

Alti attacked again, "No!" Again she attacked, "No!" Then she was enshrouded by energy. She felt herself being sucked away.

She shouted "No Xena!" One last dash of power that radiated harmlessly in the air. Then her form disappeared, having been sucked inside the heart of Chaos. Talisman and trap of the God Chaos. It was all that remained. Xena starred at the purple crystal that radiated its power in a purple glow. Then he appeared.

Chaos said "Well done Xena. Did you really think I would allow anyone the chance to take my power like that? I'm not dumb like your Greek Gods. I don't make items that can kill me or food that can make others like me."

Xena said staring at the God full of rage, "You rigged this whole game. You told her of this item so she could lead evil Xena here. You guided us here for this fight. We fought it. We finished it. Are you entertained? Are you entertained! This game is over. Send us back to our world, now!"

Chaos replied smiling wickedly, "Yes I am entertained but this game isn't over. This is nothing compared to the climax I will guide you to. Now for the next square of the board." He showed an image of Gabrielle with a staff that had a spiked ball on each end. The spikes were like curved knives. It was clear that this weapon was designed to tear bodies apart.

Gabrielle disemboweled the man with the weapon. Another swing with the Spiked Staff and a female villager had her head torn from her shoulders . The look of bloodlust was in Gabrielle's eyes.

Xena's mouth hung open in shock. Her eyes filled with rage. She said overwhelmed with rage, "What have you done? What have you done to my friend!"

Chaos replied laughing as he floated above Xena, "I made her dream come true. She is like you, as she always wanted."

Xena replied the emotion coming from her strongly, "She never wanted this."

Chaos held out his hands to his side as he said, "She wanted to be like you. That is all she had ever wanted since she has met you. Look at your influence on here. Recognize those moves, most of them are yours."

Xena continued to look in horror as she watched Gabrielle massacre a whole village. Xena shouted, "Chaos I will destroy you, I swear it! Chaos! You'll pay for this!"

Chaos said "Xena, you're the only one who has ever said that, that I actually believe might be able do it." He disappeared in a poof of purple smoke.

Chaos appeared beside Hera as she lovingly embraced them. Hera said smiling, "You sure know how to push buttons."

Chaos asked with a hint of pride in his voice, "Yes, did you like Alti's surprise?" Hera looked him in the purple eyes. "It was marvelous my love." They held each other tightly. As they embraced she had a hidden concern on her mind as she focused on the sword strapped to Borias's back.
