The Return Of War And Love
~AN-Last time I saw Xena, it was the episode after she gave birth to Eve, and I've missed episodes before that too. Most of what I know, I got from fics. I apologize in advance if I completely mess up things that happen in episodes. I'm trying to get ALL the seasons, but with no money...it's kinda hard. I apologize in advance if I mess up episodes or things that happen after Eve is born.~
~*To Blue-Kiss, Joslyn, and Kitten. Thanks for you reviews. To Blue-Kiss, yes Rabina gets with someone, a god. Don't know which yet. To Joslyn, my deities are the Greek Gods. I'm a wiccan. Hope all three of you enjoy this chapter, and if I miss anyone, then you didn't review when I posted this chapter. Sorry.~
Rabina yelps as she lands on grassy land behind some peasants. They see her and help her up.
"Thanks." says Rabina rubbing her head.
"It's okay. Who are you?" asks a female. "Are you a god?"
"No. I'm an immortal." says Rabina. "Under the protection of Hera and Zeus."
"Under the King and Queen of the Gods? You must be important then." says a male. "They've never shared an immortal."
"Yeah, well, i'm special." says Rabina. "Now, what's going on over there?"
She points to the five people, three males, two females. She immediately knows them all. Ares, God of War. Then Hercules, Joxer, Gabrielle, and Xena. She can sense that Joxer is not a god or immortal yet, so she must have landed before Joxer changed.
"Xena wants to kill Lord Ares." says a male warlord. "She has the power to kill Gods now."
"I know." says Rabina. "Are there any gods who died yet?"
"She has killed Bliss, God of Happiness. Cupid, God of Love, and Strife, God of Mischief. She has also killed Eris, Goddess of Discord and Hephaestus, God of the Forge." pipes up a child.
"It is a sad day for the Houses of War and Love. Only Aphrodite, Goddess of Love and Beauty, and Ares, God of War, survived Xena's bloodthirsty Chakram." says a second female, sadly.
"Did you worship Love and War?" asks Rabina.
"Freely, and with their permission." says a second male as the yells from Xena and Ares reach them.
"GODS DO NOT KILL NEEDLESSLY!!" roars Ares.
"GODS ARE A PLAGUE UPON THE EARTH!!" yells Xena.
"WE ARE NOT!!" yells Aphrodite before she appears. She doesn't look like she normally does. Dried tear tracks are on her face, she is not wearing makeup, and she is dressed only in a shapeless gown that seems to repel her beauty. Her usually bouncy shiny blonde hair is dull and lifeless. It's as if she has lost reason to live, but since she's a god, she won't live.
"By Hera..." gasps the village in shock. Their goddess looks like a normal mortal. Immediately they all start praying to her, and she turns to them, smiling through her tears.
'Thank you, but this is something prayers can not help with.' says Aphrodite in their heads. Rabina frowns.
'How long till shock settles in? Or because i'm immortal, will it never sit in. Tartarus, if this goes on, i'll be so used to this stuff, i'll be surprised if I am shocked.' thinks Rabina as she kneels on the ground, ignoring the dirt as it clings to her jeans. No one has said anything about her clothes...yet.
Rabina then places her hands on the ground, and her eyes widen, becoming huge pools of blue. Sea blue, cobalt blue, all the colors of blue in the world are in her eyes.
Down in Tartarus, Strife, Cupid, Bliss, Eris, and Hephaestus are sitting in Hades' palace. Luckily, they are the only godly casualities so far. So Far. It won't be long till the others start joining them.
"Want Granpa! Want Granma!" cries Bliss as Cupid tries to calm him down. None of the five notice each other slowly disappearing.
"What the?!" says Thanatos running in with Celeste, Hades, and Persephone.
"Who is bringing them back?" cries Persephone.
"What are you talking about?" asks Eris coldly.
"You're being brought back to life. But by who?" wonders Hades. "I'm the only one with the power of rebirth."
"See ya." says Strife before all five disappear.
Up on the surface, Rabina blinks and stands, her eyes normal. She doesn't know what in the world she just did, but she knows that the Houses of Love and War will be complete again. Soon.
"Erica!!" cries a female as a ten year old girl runs out to Ares and Aphrodite, she stops in front of them, glaring at Xena, Gabrielle, and Hercules. Joxer hasn't really done anything.
"Leave them alone!" says Erica stubbornly. "No hurt Res and Dite!"
"Get out of the way." says Xena. "They aren't Gods."
"No!" says Erica stamping her foot, acting like all the world as Hera when she's on one of her temper tantrums. "You leave Res and Dite alone!"
"Yeah!" says a ten year old boy running out to join Erica. Soon, all the village Children are between The Gods and the Mortals. Well, two mortals and two demi-gods.
"No hurt Res!"
"Go way! Dite no hurt you!"
"We no want you here!"
"No hurt Dite!"
"Xena..." says Gabrielle softly. Xena nods and pulls her Chakram off her belt. She gets ready to fling it. Ares and Aphrodite are in shock. Children are protecting them from Xena, God Killer. Xena then flings her Chakram.
"NO!!!!!" yells Rabina. The Godly Powers bestowed upon her explode out, and stop the Chakram a mere centimeter from a child's neck. It's so close, that if the child moves her head towards the Chakram, the Child dies.
Ares then whisks the child away from the Chakram as Cupid, Strife, Bliss, Hephaestus, and Eris appear.
"We're back!" crows Strife startling everyone but Rabina.
"But how?" asks Cupid as Bliss flies into Aphrodite.
"Granma!!" says Bliss happily. Aphrodite looks at Bliss before hugging him, tears flowing freely.
"Yo Unc." says Strife as Aphrodite hands Bliss to Ares before running and hugging Cupid and Hephaestus, crying.
"You're back." says Gabrielle, stupified.
"Yeah, blondie." snarls Eris. "Someone brought us back."
"Uh, why is Harpy's chakram just floating there?" asks Strife.
"Don't know." says Ares.
"Uh, it was me." says Rabina walking up. "Um, I also think I brought you all back."
"Who are you?" asks Hephaestus. Rabina clucks her tongue in sympathy before gently touching Hephaestus' forehead. Everyone, from the villagers to the Gods, watches in shock as Hephaestus' scars disappear, and his limp also disappears as his body rearranges itself to what it was suppose to be before Zeus threw him off Olympus.
"There. You're better now." says Rabina. "Now," she turns to Xena, Gabrielle, and Hercules, murder in her eyes. "So, you feel strong? You don't give a damn who gets in the way, do you? You'd kill Children to kill Lord Ares and Lady Aphrodite wouldn't you? I knew there had to be a bigger reason for me to go against God, and now I know. It's because he'd do anything to keep his power centre, wouldn't he? Even employing the Daughter of Zeus, the Daughter of Apollo, and the Son of Zeus."
"What?" asks Strife, Cupid, Eris, Ares, Aphrodite, and Hephaestus.
"Xena is not your daughter, Lord Ares. She is Zeus'. Blonde Harpy here is the daughter of Lord Apollo, and we all know who Dumbass' father is." says Rabina jerking her thumb towards Hercules. Hercules snarls and goes to grab Rabina but she just glares at him, and he stops.
"You're a god!" snarls Hercules.
"No..i'm a immortal. Though...Hera and Zeus kept calling me the Champion Of Olympus." says Rabina, smirking as Hercules pales. Strife whoops and the other gods just look at Rabina.
"Then Olympus can be saved." says Aphrodite before smiling. "We have a chance against the One God."
"Let's go to Olympus." says Eris. "Besides, I wonder what the Gods'll think when we return."
"Who knows. Let's go. Hold on." says Ares before teleporting Xena, Gabrielle, and Hercules to Rome. "That should give us at least a couple months."
Cupid, Strife, Eris, Bliss, Hephaestus, and Aphrodite disappear. Ares grabs Rabina and disappears, after placing a shield around the village and healing those who were injured.
