Intimate Stranger

Hercules & Xena Banner Exchange

This is not the end to our heroine. Callisto would soon return. Xena started having nightmares and Callisto was responcible for them..she would have images of Callisto dying and Ares telling her how evil she was...well these werent just bad dreams.. Xena has a sort of daydream, she is completely awake. After scaring off Theodorus' gang and saving Joxer she sees Callisto. She follows Cally through the forest and down into Tartarus. Callisto welcomes her to her happy little torture place. She then explains that with the proper help, any guilty person can be invaded by the person they killed...well Xena asks what kind of help, guess who shows up....Ares of course. So that provides new problems..Xena however admits that she killed Callisto...........thats all they needed..Callisto enters Xena's body!


Well Callisto (in Xena's body) wakes Gabbrielle and tells her that Callisto is back and explains to her that she wants to kill her mother in Anphipolis...well..the next day Xena (Callisto) teaches Gabby to kill. She gets her to use her real anger! heh heh heh, what a great scene..MEANWHILE down in Tartarus, Xena in Callys body informs Hades what is going on, and he gives her one day to get someone back to Tartarus, weather it be Callisto or Xena. So off goes Xena to find Callisto. AgainM Callisto meanwhile attempts to kill Argo, Xenas horse..it doesnt work, she just slices it open, things are looking pretty bad, when Xena shows up and starts to collect sap and leaves to patch up Argo. But she is in Callisto's body and guess who is there to save the day..... thats right... Joxer the Mighty! Well he stands up to Callisto, saying he wont allow her to finish off Xena's horse, but who he sees as Callisto is really Xena...she proves herself to him by using her famous pressure points thing... Finally Xena catches up to Callisto, and they do a neat lil fight scene, like they always do...Xena wins..or does she...with her weapon at Callisto's throat..guess who shows up to save the day, no not Joxer..Gabbrielle does. she puts her staff which now has a really shrap neato kinda object on the end of it. But Xena finds a way to get out of this one too..she asks Gabbrielle to ask "Xena" what she has dreamed ever since Perdicus was murdered...Callisto of course gets it wrong. The REAL Xena gets it right and Callisto runs off....


Well during all this neat stuff, Callisto managed to find Theodorus and his men, but thinking that she was Xena, Theodorus told Callisto to just kill them in cold blood, because they would do nothing to prevoke the Warrior Princess...and well, not knowing it was Callisto, she slices Theodorus' throat. After that she has the army collect all the people of Xena's home villige and lock them up. Xena figures out whats going on, Callisto wanted to burn them just like Xena did to her home...


No such luck, Joxer and Gabby throw jars of oil at the men with torches and scares them all so they put out they're torches.... Xena pulls out a trancualizer dart, and shoots Callisto, putting her to sleep where they would meet in Tartarus...again...but Xena outsmarted Callisto again, she used Callisto's mother agianst her and the guilt Cally had trapped her in Tartarus, but for how long?? So now Xena is in Callys body, and Callisto in Xena's is stuck in Tartarus.....again.
