A.n.: thanks for your reviews everybody! So basically the notes are the same as the previous chapter.

IMPORTANT QUESTION: does anyone know where I can download the opening sequences for Hercules and Xena? Not just the music but the actually sequences, images credits and all? Pleas post your answers in your reviews.

Disclaimer: same exact thing as in the prologue. Now if only I did on the shows :sniffle:

Any way one with the story!

An Amazon's Hunter

Chapter 1: Gabrielle?

"Come on, Hercules! We're going to miss all the fun at the rate we're going!"

Hercules chuckled at his friend's anxiousness. As much as Iolaus loved to party, the demigod knew the real reason why his friend was so ready and willing to get to the village. He was in love with Gabrielle. The hunter just didn't know it yet. A twig snapping brought the hero out of his thoughts. He looked up and saw a group of thugs gathering in front of him and Iolaus, the leader being an ugly man, to say the least.

"You can't pass through this forest without paying a fee." Mr. Ugly grinned greedily.

"Since when?" Iolaus asked, glaring at the theif..

'.'

"Since now." was the given reply.

"Well that's just not good enough." Hercules said with a slight grin on his face.

"Yea. You're gonna have to give us a better answer than that, ugly." Iolaus quipped, finding the threat very amusing.

"WHY YOU LITTLE- you're gonna pay for that! Boys…." The leader looked at his companions, "get 'em." The thugs shot forward and the fight began. They lunged forward and the fight began. But for every thug the heroes took out more seemed too come.

"Hey, Herc?" (dodge)

"Yea, Iolaus?" (punch)

"I don't think (lunge) they like us (stab) very much!" (kick)

"Now what gave you that idea?" (dodge)

A group of thugs gained up on Iolaus and were over powering him. Then they were suddenly pulled off. The ones that had attempted to gain up on Hercules were kicked and punched away from him.

The men (Herc and Iolaus) looked on in shock. They watched as a long auburn haired woman took care of the men that were on her side of the battle while a short blonde haired woman-in a very revealing outfit Iolaus noted-took care of the ones on her side.

While Iolaus took care of some of them with his sword, he noticed the thugs were now surrounding the blonde. Before he could shout a warning, she did a flip out of the center of the thugs.

Wow was all the golden hunter could think of at the moment.

Hercules watched as the auburn haired warrior dodged and threw punches and kicks in every direction. He turned to look at is companion and the other mystery fighter.

Their fighting style is familiar especially the blonde's…. then he noticed his friends' face. Not that Iolaus cares how they fight….

Once the thugs go it through their thick heads that they weren't winning…they ran. The women slowly walked towards eachother as they dusted themselves off. Iolaus sheathed his sword and walked over to Hercules who was looking at their female 'saviors'.

"Well thanks for your help. I'm-"

"Hercules," the blonde said, turning around. Hercules eyes widened in shock while Iolaus' jaw dropped to the ground.

"G-Gabrielle!"
