Reinahrdt Amateur Station Call Sign: KF4SQL E-Mail: Knight-Rider-2000@Juno.Com [ Brave New World, New Challenges ] [ Part 3 ] Solen says, We have a metallic object to go and check out,. Brian is dumbfounded and says, I'd never look for alloys or metal objects in a place like this,. Solen says, I know.. but when playing around with it... A trick Kitt showed me.. You can't find a life form and they are you looking for your enemies.. Look and scan for their swords and other metals wile scanning.. One or the other will show up as a general rule,. Brian says, I guess.. We've got Kitt to thank.. If we ever get that chance to thank him for showing you a few games and things one can do with the tricorders,. Solen smiles in return and says, Lets head for it then,. Brian gets up along with Brenda and who takes his hand again and they set out in the direction of what ever this metal object may be,. [ To Be continued ] [ Part 3 ] Later on they are nearing the site of ware the Q tricorder is picking up the object... They can't yet see it due to this mist that seems to be every ware in this place,. and they are finally able to see what it is that they have been looking for,. Its a double door that parts from the center,. Brian and Solen look over this Doorway but can't see anything that makes it open,. Brian says, This is strange ,. Brian is on the other side of the door behind it and doesn't see anything behind it like a hallway or any walls,. Solen sees it and says, Who'd put a door with out anything for it to go into... this is the weirdest thing I've ever seen,. and they go back to the front,. Solen still having Brian's Tricorder adjust the settings to see if it can tell him anything about whats behind this door if anything,. But its unable to penetrate the door or the front doorway walling,. Brian Ask, Anything ?,. Solen says, No.. It can't penetrate this door or the front walling around it,. Brian says, Look it looks like there used to be a control to open up this thing.. But it has been covered up look at the differences from that to that.. They match but not quite,. Solen says, Your right.. I see the difference myself now... But how are we going to see if there is any wiring behind it ?,. Brian Knocks it with his knuckles and then pulls out his hand phaser pistol and Says, With this,. Solen says, I don't know if thats going to work,. Brian says, Were going to find out and he starts adjusting the settings on it and opens fire,. Brenda was amazed by the weapon firing and ask, Is it some tool that god gave you ?,. Brian says, Hardly ... but I wish it were right now,. Solen says, Your going to have to adjust the setting on the phaser allot more higher... That hardly even warmed it up.. Looking at the tricorder,. Brian puts his hand on the spot he fired on and says, Your right.... Its warm but thats about it,. And Brian sets it to a higher setting and fires again but its almost the same,... This time he sets it as high as the hand weapon will go and fires... This time it got hot but this surface requires more then what one pistol unit can do,. Solen says, lets combine our both of our Phasers and try and cut a hole in that area,. Brian thinks it over of how much more heating this thing may require and he adjust his setting and they open fire.. This time a small hole has been cut into the spot,... Revealing some old wiring,. Brian looks it over and says, Well it will take a wile... I don't want to blow a circuit on this thing... Or were up the creak with out a paddle if we do that,. Solen watches as brian figures out the appropriate sequence thats going to be needed to open this entrance to ware ever up,. After and hour or so.. Brian says, I've got it... Or I think I do.. Solen says, did you double check.. To make sure,. Brian says, I hope so,. And he has the wiring hot wired and keys the last two wires together and the Door opens up,. Solan smiles and says, Open Says me,. Brian just giggles and says, Lest go then,. After the three of them enter inside this corridor the door closes,. Solen says, I remember this place here.. Or these Halls.. from the last time... but I don't remember entering it threw a doorway,... It was more like going threw a tunnel or something similar to it,. Brian says, Mortals or humans experience passage into the after life a different way then from what I will or others of my kind,... We wait for ever ... You don't... Or thats what I can make out of what we just seen back there,. Brenda also remembers this place too.. Before she was sent to hell for her misdoings,. and is almost paralyzed by total fear and terror again,. Brian says, I'm not going to let anything bad happen to you again... but we have to proceed ahead and brenda takes ahold of him this time with her arm around his upper back,. Brenda says, They will send me back into that terrible place... That they sent me to the first time... How can you stop them,. Brian says, I don't know.. But I'm going to try me hardest to make sure that doesn't happen again,. Solen says, I couldn't even understand why she was sent there in the first place... She didn't do anything so tearable to deserve to end up spending an eternity in there,. Brian says, I don't know why either,. Brian ask, How did you die the last time.. You never really shared that with me,. Brenda says, I was abusing intoxicating things... and one day I over did it and it dammed me for good,. Brian says, So you more or less committed Suicide ?,. Brenda says, That wasn't my intentions.. Believe me it wasn't... but I was like most girls my age.. Getting into all kinds of things that I shouldn't have been doing to begin with,. Brian says, So in some way.. They may have considered it an unintentional Suicide and miss judged you,. Brenda says, I don't know.. All that I know is I entered some halls like this and there was a podium and three doors,... one was to hell straight down the other two I don't know about ?,. Solen confirms what she's just told him... He said he was sent to a waiting kind of area and didn't enter any of the doors,. Brian says, Well,... I have an idea of what to expect ahead of us.. can you get any distance of when we will be at the end of these halls or corridors,. Solen scans with the tricorder and says, We've got another long walk ahead of us again,. Brian says, to bad I can't transport us there with my powers or with other means,. Solen says, yeah.. but whats so funny is none of us are in need of food or water...Brian your more or less mortal right now right ?,. Brian says, I guess so more or less,. Solen says, Yeah.. But by now.. I or even her would require some food or water and we for some reason don't need or want it,. Brian says, Yeah.. but it could be since were dead or in a spirit type form and don't realize it yet,. Solen says, thats possible,... I don't remember much about last time... It passed by like only a few moments went by when you retrieved me,. Brian says, Yes... I think you might have told me that..... but lets get a move on and the three of them do,. After a long walk they are finally nearing the end of this long hall with out any other doors or exits,. and a they turn down another hall that they see others entering into it,... Brian says, They are humans and other mortals,. Solan says, Yeah.. I remember this now,. Brian says, lets follow them ,. and the three of them do,. They all enter this auditorium and one by one... Each person's back grounds are reviewed and some of them had done some pretty terrible things in there life times,.... with out ever repenting or seeking out forgiveness for there misdeeds,. They are told to go to the far side of this place... and some are told to form a new group.. over in the center.. and others are told to join another group on the other.... so now theirs three different groups in the auditorium... some that had been forgiven for there misdeeds are in the center and the others that haven't done such terrible things are on the other,. the persons whos dividing up others into each of the groups is the First who's been instructed by an unseen voice,. After all the mortals have been seen and overlooked and judged... They haven't Called Brian or Solen nor Brenda,. Brian says,. Solen... I wonder why they haven't called us,. Solen says, I don't know last time when I was before them rather then been put into any group... That first Q woman toke me else ware.. and I remember a bearded man at the podium not her... She was behind him on his side,... The whole time,. Brian says, Vary interesting,. Then the Center group is told to enter the door to the right,. and they do... Once they are all gone.. the others that were told to go to the right that hadn't done such terrible things are told if you'd done just a little more bad deeds you'd be faceting what they are going to in a few moments,. The first just said,. Brenda having remembered what happened the last time is in total terror now... and is holding on tightly to Brian,. But Brenda does manage to warn them to go on the other side... Because whats about to happen isn't going to be pleasant, nor should the three of them be near them,. Brian says, why ?,. Brenda says, They might mistaken you for that group of the bad ones and grab us too,. Brian says, I see,. And they move to the other side thats going to watch whats getting ready to happen vary soon,. Then some kind of big door opens up in the floor in the center near the back,. and some weird things in black start coming out,. Solen says, They look like they belong to the Grim Reaper,. Brian says, Or they are the Grim Reapers... From hell.. or what did you call it Tartarus ?,. Solen nods yes,. Then they start hearing the horrifick and evil and scary laughs these things are making as they are coming out.. Floating in the air almost to the ceiling its self... as more of them raise up they group together as if they are ganging or becoming one big wolf like pack,. Brenda is trembling now and Brian allows her to berry her head into his chest now and he has his arms around her and she does like wise with a really tight grip around him,. Then the Reapers have all gathered together now... and start to strike they're pry,. The persons / souls are screaming out in fear of the torment that lies ahead of them,. Solen and Brain see and now understand why they can't get to the other side of this room... There is some kind of force field around the parameter... So they are like sheep in a pen with wolves inside it taking them out one by one,. Brian ask solen for the Q Tricorder to see if he can do anything other then just stand by and watch, Plus he wants to see if he as any tactical over them.. or any kind of defence in case he has to get into it with them later on,. Brian tells solen.. I don't see any advantage over them Reaping things.. Not with out my powers I'd be a sheep just like they are now,. Solen says, What about the Phasers ?,. Brian says, Are you thinking about the same thing as we did to the Banchies ?,. Solen says, Yeah.. It worked once ... why not now,. Brian says, These things aren't like them...To begin with but if it comes to it... I'll give it a shot,. The Grim Reapers have just about taken everyone that was sent to them and there place of hell,. the persons including Brian and Solen seen the others in that group were mainly taking away screaming and hollering... Kicking and fighting all the way out, It wasn't a pleasant thing to see happening to others,. Then the First tells this group, Now you seen what has just happened to them... and consider this as a last and final warning..... Your all now going to a place here behind this door that we call purgatory.. were you can make amends for your minor misdeeds to others that you never sought out forgiveness nor repentance,. And this group starts entering this door way that leads into another hall,. After they are all gone,. Only four of them remain in this auditorium,. The First, Brian, Solen and Brenda,. Brian can tell that the first doesn't like doing this duty too much by her looks and actions.. Like taking part of sending all them evil persons/souls threw the gates of hell,. She looks at Brian now and the others in his company,. The first says, Brian.. We been waiting for you.. I knew you were in this auditorium but I wanted to empty this place out first so we could deal with them and you.. in a more personal manner,. Brian ask, What is to become of Brenda and Solen ?,. The first says, well for starters... You've ended your existence Brian at a vary premature time,... Thats not the problem... As for her... She's to be returned to the hellish underworld ware she was sentenced to the last time,. As for solen.. He is to be returned back to his mother Xena,... because He is a human/mortal and wasn't brought here in the proper passing as a mortal should pass on to,. As for you "Brian".. You've done what no other of your kind has done before.. You gave your life along with his in order to save him from a death and madness,. Brian says, So you understand what, I've done here then ?,. She says, Yes I understand your reason was to save Xena's son and you made promise to her that he wouldn't die.. Well in a sense he has along with you,. Then two of the Grimish Reapers appear again.. This time to take Brenda back to a certain world of never ending hell,. They are ranting to her that she failed her task to her master and its going to be worse then last time,. Brenda trembles in fear and falls to the ground curled up to try and prevent them from taking her,. The Reapers start reaching down at her but are suddenly thrown back by Brian who pushed them off of her,. Brian stands over her and keeps them at bay,. Solen says, the others couldn't do that to them,. Brian says, I don't have powers but my Q strength is still some how with me.. I guess,.. I can only have at it with them physically but nothing else,. Solen says, Kind of like Hercules then,. Brian says, Yes.. sort of,. The Reapers have never faced someone like Brian before and one of them says, Oh.. Your that jerk we've heard about form others down their in the dark underworld,. Brian says, Oh.. You must be talking about Dahok and his piece of crap daughter "Hope",. The Reaper says, Oh.. Dahok isn't our master.. But we know of him and her... and thats how we learned about you ?,. Brian says, Well as long as I'm here and I suspect I'll be here for some time yet to come... You can Forget about taking her,. The Reaper says, You aren't the one who makes that decision here,... and you don't have any power to stop the ones that do,. Brian turns to the First and says, She's not going back to that Terrible place,. The First says, Then are you telling me that you'll defy me and the others here ?,. Brian says, If I have to... I will,. The First says, Your gambling... and taking a vary big risk upon yourself,. Brian says, Oh.. I'm ... As far as I'm concerned I already toke that big risk coming here like this.. and I'm willing to take it further,. And from that point on both Brian and the first are getting into a heated argument.. Wile he holds the Reapers off at bay,. Brian has finally lost his temper and is outraged with the first and then he... Slaps her across the face with an open hand,.. The First says, You've just made the wrong move with me and she hits him with her powers to cause him some real pain and stops once she sees that he's starting to fall to the ground from it,. She says, That was a vary dumb move you made by disrespecting me like that... don't ever do it again.. Next time if their is one... It will be much worse,. Brian says, I'm sorry for doing that,... I lost my cool.. But they aren't taking her,. The first says, Do you want more of what you just got.... Because I'm losing my patients with you really fast,. Brian says, I'll Go in her place just let her pass on in peace,. The First says, Are you telling me... You'll spend the rest of eternity in a Hellish underworld in her place ?,. Brian says, If that's what I have to do... So she can be at peace .. I'll do it,. The first ask, Why ?,. Brian says, I don't see what she did so bad to end up in a place like that... That's why,. The first says, Are you certain.. Are you sure you want to do that ?,. Brian says, Yes.. I vary much am... Because I feel an injustice was done to her.. That's why,. The first says, Ok.. If that's what you wish then so be it,. Brian lifts Brenda up and tells her.. She isn't going to be returning to that horrible world that she's free to exist on in an after life of peace and harmony,. Brenda thanks him for that and says, You've condemned your self to a life of never ending torment and pain in my place.. I can never repay you for doing that no matter what,. Brian says, I have to do it... I have to stand up to whats right no matter what,... at all cost,. Brenda then kisses him on his lips and says, thank-you for what you've done for me,. Brian says, Now you have to move on and have peace.. I won't do that.. but Its worth seeing you threw to that,. Brenda steps up and the First points her to the doors of eternities peace and heavens.. Not even purgatory this time,. but straight on this time,. Then Brian turns to solen and tells him.. When you get back to your mother and my sister and our friend Gabrielle tell them both I love them all dearly.. and him and solen hug and shake hands in what is to be a final farewell,. Brian then turns to the Grim Reapers and says, I'm ready for you... If you two are ready for me,. One of the Reapers says, Oh.. Your going to be something.. We've never encountered one of your kind in our world as of yet,. Brian says, Oh.. if that's so.. This sounds like fun,. The Reaper says, Yes.. Its going to be fun as we break and ware you down... They'll find out what makes you tick in due time,. Brian thinking about something he learned from his adopted sister Callisto Prior to them meeting up.. Thinks it all over and to himself ah.. I know what it was she once said,... Ok.. Tell your little so called Evil masters in this underworlds of this hell of yours.. Here Comes Trouble!,. The Grim Reapers are now on both sides of Brian,.. They can't force him like they did with others and then they both walk to the gates of all the definite hells escorting him,. They are right at the Gates of hells birth and all of the sudden... Some laughter starts up from a voice not yet seen.. this voice says, No.. He won't go into the worlds of hell.. and the reapers scream as if them words had caused them grate pain,.. and they enter but Brian was stopped by come kind of force field they entered he didn't... Today he wasn't going to any of the hells or Tartarus's... or what ever they are called by others,... That's all he knew,. Then the first says, Were vary pleased with you Brian,. You stud up for what was right no matter what.. and you had even condemned your self not only once but twice.. First by sacrificing what is considered by most as an almost never ending life as a Q.... to save a human mortal.. not only one but two of them inside solen,. Brian says, Why the test.. You must have known that if I were to join with Solen I'd know something wasn't right, When I found not only one presence inside him but two different Identities and souls,. The first says, Yes, I knew that and we made it impossible for you force her out of him with out ripping his own sanity and assents part in the process,. Brian ask, Why ?,. The first says, I've always been certain of you myself but a few others aren't sure which side of the line your on,. Brian says, I don't understand... You know.. I'm not out doing evil things or seriously tormenting others... I might tease others.. Sometimes, But nothing that could cause serious damage,. The first says, The problem they have is you can play either side of the line... And that's what made them uncertain of you,... They now know for sure .. with out having doubts about you,. Brian says, Well that's grate.. But I'd.. Still like to meet that voice or who it was that set this up for me to fall into ?,. The voice says, He's curious about me... Explain to him,. I'm not sure if he's aware of our rules,. The First says, Ok.. I'll tell him why,. She then tells brian why he can meet him.. The unseen voice,.. Brian if you see him you can't be allowed to go back to your existence nor will solen since he's with you,... and we plan to send the two of you back..Soon,. Brian says, Why is they're such a ridicules rule like that,. The Voice says, Your persistent.. But I can send my best right hand person.. If you'd like ?,. Brian looks over the first and says, All I want to know is why they went threw and put us threw such an ordeal and how come they weren't sure of ware I stand when push comes to shove,. The first says, Maybe he can tell you much better then I can,. Then a bearded young looking man appears,. Brian recognizes him from earths pitchers from religious churches and has read about him in the humans second testamental Bible,. Brian says, Are you who I believe you are ?,. He says, Yes.. I'm the son of God,... also known as the one true god of the Israelites,. Brian apologizes for the attire he and solen has on.. The Star Fleet Commando outfits,. Jesus says, Theirs no need to apologize to me... I know why you have them on.. Not to come and storm us here.. That much were certain of.. You were out camping and hunting.. Or should I say.. You were trying to prove yourself again to others.. That your better then them.. Right ?,. Brian doesn't know what to say.. and says, Well.. I wasn't totally sure if they really had banchies in that forest.. and yes.. if there were in fact any, I wanted to play a few games on them and show them they're are others who can also taunt and scare others,... But I didn't expect to find out things about my self from them either... What is the business about them telling me I'm an emissary of Good or Bad.. or Good and Evil ?,. Jesus says, No.. its more like your an emissary of Right and Wrong or Good or Bad... They were a little off... But close enough,. They sit down on the steps from the podium.. Brian looks around and does not see the first nor Solen ?,. Before brian can say a world Jesus says.. Your friend is ok... She's taken him to another area so we can discuss things over with you,... That he doesn't need to concern himself with,. Brian says, Ok.. as long as he's going to be fine,. Jesus says, Yes.. he's in good hands,. Brian then ask, ok what do we need to go over with ?,. Jesus says, Now were certain of you.. I guess... I can fill you in on a few things... that Evil force of Dahok and Hope,. Brian says, yes.. I know of her.. but never met him,. Jesus says, You once had a weapon that you didn't realize what it could really do.. and it scared them right into another Evil one's hands,. Brian says, Yes.. at the time.. I just wanted to be rid of them nothing more,. Jesus says, We know that,. But this other evil one they consulted with is known as the Devil or Lucifer who at one time was one of our angels here,. Brian says, I've read about him,. Jesus says, So my father sent Brenda's soul to hell on purpose not only so she'd repent but learn a lesson faster,. Brian says, but why,. Jesus says, We knew they'd send her since she hadn't done enough evil things in her life time.. and he needed to make her an evil soul before she was really their's,... They wanted for her,... once inside solen to murder not only Gabrielle but also his own mother.. and cause other rifts before doing that,... But even thou she feared worse torment and pain form the diamond.. She held out... she learned threw solen about you... So what was causing solen's behavior to change was his dreams he could see the horrors of the worlds of hells,. Brian says, Yeah I seen the images in my joining with them both.. so I knew what I was facing when I made a decision to go to hell in her place,... But is they're more ?,. Jesus says, yes,.. you see.. You play sides at times like doing things like.. You were doing with the Banchies that's what made us uncertain of what side your really on at times... on the other hand you make me and my father Laugh at times ?,. Brian's now wondering how he as managed to entertain the almighty and his son and ask, Is they're some way of how I carry out my actions.. That amuses you ?,. Jesus says, Yes as a matter of fact,... you Piss them off in the dark underworld.. due to the fact you can be as mean as them and still toy with them.. so they end up with the raw end of the deal... The Bargain,. Brian thinks this over and says, I guess.. I'm good at them things,... Even thou at the time when I've been at it with them.. I didn't see it vary funny at the time,... But I guess.. I do piss them off in return for pissing me off with them,. Jesus and Brian smile,. Brian then ask, So what do you think of what I've done on that new world.. I made for the Centaurs and the Hinds and humans,... and what about my Sister "Callisto",. Jesus says, Well .. That's a long one.. But your going to be reintroducing two races that are thought of as long extinct,... They are both going to contribute quite a bit to others,.... As for Callisto.. She's going to prove herself now.. to your people.. but she's only a grate part of some events that are ahead of you and her,. Brian is now wondering what Jesus meant and ask, Whats to come of her and me ?,. Jesus says, I'm going to let what you call the as one of the first ones or first leaders of your continuum explain that to you and whats about to take place,. Brian says, There are going to be allot changes for my kind in the future,. Jesus says, Yes.. the keepers of the crossroads in the universe are what should I say... are going to begin helping others on the roads in the future.. Rather then just standing back watching them pass by,. Brian is now wondering what is to come,. Jesus stands up and says, She's going to show you whats gone on and will go on and whats in store for you... As for Callisto's fate is and will be met,. Brian concerned says, Fate ?,. Jesus says, not in a bad way.. She was originally destined to be a princess of peace... not what she was known as " The Mistress of Mayhem".. but now she'll be known as the Princess of Universal Pace rather then just the one world,... You set her and your friend Xena free of each others pains.. They'd blamed or caused one another... You set her right from wrong "emissary",.... may heavens winds be at your back.. and he disappears,. The first says, Now.. I'll tell and show you why,. The first says, The continuum in its haydays was an exciting place just when your grate-grate-grandparents were young.. it was full of life not bore,... an interesting place.. and not dull as you've known it.. You want to know why ?,. Brian says, Well I've only known it as its been.. Yes its vary dull too,. The first says, that's because they aren't growing anymore.. they've massed so much .. They've overloaded and more or less burned out,... They are running out of new exciting things,. Brian says, Yeah.. at times I could care less to be their except for my relatives and loved ones,. The first says, Callisto is going to help lead them and bring new life into the continuum,... As it is most of the young leaders don't even take their positions seriously anymore.. and could care less to be on the ruling council.. nor does anyone want to take the High leaders place anymore,. Brian says, Yeah.. who wants to be one of them.. They are always dreary.. and seldomly smile or are happy,. The first says, they aren't happy because they know and he knows none of them can step down in order for others to take their place and act accordingly,... They'd mis-use or totally neglect their responsibly.. and that would lead to anarchy in the end,. Brian says, So are you saying Callisto is going to help bring a new dawn into the continuum,. The first says, yes.. she's part of it.. and the idea's from what would be the former olympian gods who in time are going to take over for the leader and the ruling council,... Since todays Q's aren't interested in doing that anymore,. Brian says, and ware do the mortals or humans fit into all of this ?,. The First says, they will be among your kind in the future... You see Callisto is part of a link.. a bridge.. The olympians understand humans better then Q's do... Callisto does because she was one before.. In time Q's and the Humans will be together rather then thinking they are superior over humans.. They will look at each other as one.. rather then opposites. Brian says, You know That I intended to marry a human in the future... The only reason I've held off... is to the fact.. I'll be asked if not ordered to surrender my Q hood.. powers and all,... In order to marry a human,. The first says, I know you love Xena and I know she also loves you dearly too... and you've held off... So you could over see that Callisto does fine.. and to help her threw any difficulties,. Brian says, Yes.. Its one of my reasons for holding back.. and plus to the fact I'll be forced to live a short human life for my actions,. The first says, I know.. Its a big decision to make for you.. but now they have seen you sacrifice your life for a mortal.. They are beginning to wonder.. its opened them up.. but the changes need to come slowly and gradually over time...Because if it happened over night.. It could set lose chaos in the continuum.. and then lead it to its ending,. Brian says, So were going to be among humans and humans are in time going to be among us,... Xena and me ?,. The First says, yes.. and when we return you.. you'll be asked to relinquish your Q hood and powers and privileges but it will only be for a short time, Until after marrying Xena,.. you and her are going to have the first Human / Q child that will spell a new Q race that will also bring new growth into the continuum among other things,. Brian says, the Olympians are more or less a buffer to smooth over the changes ?,. The first says, Yes exactly,... But first there are some challenges ahead of you to,. Brian says, and what or who are they ?,. The first says, for starters your cousin "Trelane" has been messing about not in this universe but other ones,. Brian says, I've always wondered how he's managed to hide himself so well,. The first ask, Have you ever heard of alternate universes and alternate realities ?,. Brian says, I sure have... But I've never been in one before... Only a vary few Q's have...Due to the fact somethings from what I've read... allot of the alternate universes/realities the facts of whats gone on,... Or going on in them,... can be quite disturbing,... from what one knows,. The first says, I've met what I can call a counter part.. I'm not in that alternate place... Would you like to meet him ?,. Brian says, I don't see the harm,. and then another person appears.. Brian says, He doesn't look like anyone I've ever met before,. The first says, Oh... But you and him do share some things in common.. Like mothers ?,. Brian says, what ?,. the first says, Yes.. Brian I'd like for you to meet Julian.. He's the brother you've never had nor has he ever had you.. because his mother like yours only had one child,... He's slightly older then you too as you are slightly younger then him... and with different birthdays to,. Brian extends his hand and shakes it,. Julian says, So were from the same fathers same mothers, Uncles, except for another aunt I don't have that you do.. yet we don't even look alike,. Brian says, How did you come here,. Julian says, Your cousin has been mocking about on my side of realities.. I tracked him down as originating to this universe,. Brian says, and what has Trelane done ?,. Julian says, Not much due to the fact... I chased him out .. He was messing around on my wife "Gabrielle's Starship,. Brian says, Let me get this... You married Gabrielle and in time I'll Marry Xena,. Julian says, that's why its called an alternate universe realities.. but that's not the problem.. I also tracked Trelane down in another Universe ware he's almost totally wrecked it,... and he wants to use some of the technological advances I helped made possible for the humans in the universe ware i'm from,. Brian says, she just said your like her counter part.. How,. Julian says, I evolved on into the heaven,. Brian says, Ok I think I understand some of it.. But what does it have to do with this side of the yard ?,. Julian says, The ship he was on is not only capable of going to transwarp but also can go into alternate universes / realities too,... Trelane wants to bring that knowledge into the hell hole he made out of another Universe.. He helped the Nazi's win a war and then brought them into warp space traveling with in a matter of years.. they dominate most of whats called the alpha quaderent in this universe now,... and he wants them to be able to cross over into other places too.. Like this one,. Brian ask, Can you provide me with proof of what he's been doing.. I assure you.. He'll be dealt with severely,. Julian then provides him with an information module,. Brian says, Some of our Q's on our side that are experts on alternate universe crossing will check this out.. and if its what you've side.. He'll be punished for his evilness.. I'll see to it when I get back,. Then Brian and Julian go over there differences in each's realities and lifes share stories of people they know and how each one had come to terms with meeting Xena and Gabrielle,. Julian was surprised about how Brian helped Callisto and what she'll become in this reality,. Julian says, Well one day you might meet the other Xena and Gabrielle.. Gabrielle is a starship captain with an advanced ship I was telling you about,... and Xena's ship just launched a few months ago with the same transwarp and alternate universe traveling technologies,. They both take notes of things that have happened and compare everything... Some things are more or less the same others aren't,. Brian ask, And who is Xena married to ?,. Julian tells him.. She's married to James T. Kirk,. Brian says, Are you referring to one of the captains of the Starship Enterprise ?.. he was one of them in the 23rd century for us,. Julian says, Yes.. I brought him back to life,. Brian says, Well Jim Kirk was killed after retiring wile out as a guest on the maiden voyage of the enterprise-b, an emergency came up and he was killed in a rescue mission,. Julian says, Were they attempting to rescue two ships that were caught up in or near the temporal vortex that could also be known as the "Nexus" in this universe ?,. Brian says, Yes.. He was killed when the vortex shot out some energy beam at the ship and it tore a good size hole in it.. in the area ware Kirk was at the time,. Julian says, Well the same thing happened in my universe.. but he didn't die then,. Brian says, Well I never checked the humans place of afterlife for him... but please explain this to me,. Julian says, That Vortex is also a few other things.. it suspends time its self.. It also has some affects on mortals and humans alike to,... but none of its real.. Its only thing is they get what they want in they're dreams and wishes,. Brian says, the only thing I know about that place is, one time a Q went inside it to investigate what is was and his powers were being disrupted from some energy fulxuations form that thing... This Q barely escaped from that place,... he opened up what we call a teleport portal to get out.. similar to what the olympian gods were using in Xenas time.. I later figured out what the portals were used for in time.. We had no idea that our lost descendants used them.. the other family that didn't evolve to what we are,. Julain says, There no need to explain everything about Ares and alike,. Brian says, Well to put it to simple terms.. The Olympian Gods or people in comparison to a Q is the Same as comparing a starship that has Warp drive and Warp speed to a starship that's equipped with Transwarp drive and can do Transwarp speed,. Julian thinks that over and says, Yes.. to put it in simple terms by comparing them to yourself.. is more or less right,. anyways.. here's the information of what Trelanes been up to and my findings... It was nice meeting you,. Brian thinks Julian and says, Well its been nice meeting the brother I never had here.. and Julian says, Like wise,. and disappears,. [ On the centauris ] Seventeen months later... on the centaur world,. Xena and Gabrielle have been in history classes among other classes to prepare them for this new age,. After class Xena ate at gabby's home this night and after dinner with Gabrielle and her husband the two of them were going over to Xenas house to study for a few hours together and when they enter Xena's house theirs a foul odor inside the air of the house,. Xena says, what is that horrible smell Gabrielle.. I've never smelled anything like it,. Gabrielle says, Yeah.. what kind of insents have you been burning,. Xena notices the smoke to.. and says, I haven't been using any kind of insents that smells like this... and they go into the main living room and find Trelane sitting down in one of the recliner chairs,. Xena says, Ok Trelane what do you want and whats that obnoxious smelling thing burning in your hand ?,. Trelane says, Why they call it a cigar Xena.. and he takes another puff on it and smoke billows out of his mouth,... would you two like one and he clicks his finger and both Xena and Gabrielle each have a lit Cigar in their hands,. Gabrielle takes not only her's but Xenas cigar and throws them outside one of the windows and Xena says, I'm going to smell them stinky things for a week in my house... Get it out of here and you all so get your self out of here with it too,. Trelane brakes out in laughter now.. and says, make me get out,. Xena not wanting to take any crap from Trelane heads over to him to pull him up and physically throw him out.. but she's knocked down on her butt by him using his powers,. Trelane says, Now... Now my dear.. That isn't a way to greet your new master.. err... leader of this world,. Xena says, No way... I know better then to believe they turned this world over to you to lead in this new age,. Trelane says, Well since oh.. what is she supost to be.. Ah yes my cousin Callisto... is busy now... since she's taken the Olympians off of your old world.. Xena I'd thought it would be nice to fill in for her.. and since my other dear cousin Brian is dead.. he can't do it... So I thought why not.. help myself out,. and he starts giggling at them both,. Gabrielle helps Xena back up and says, We don't need your help Trelane and we've heard all about you,... So go bug someone that thinks your such a gate person,. Trelane uses his powers to pull gabrielle up to him and says, Look insulin worm.. I can crush you.. like the maggot you really are in comparison to me... So watch your mouth.. Or you might eat the words you've said,. He puts Gabrielle down and says, You have no idea what I want... I can't see what Brian seen in all of you... He could have done so much better then you Xena,. Xena says, Ok.. insult us all you like... what do you want from us ?,. Gabrielle and Xena both notice an insignia on his strange uniform outfit.. They seen something like it in their history class book and the jack boots and the insignia in that Arm band too,. it resembles a Storm Troopers uniform in many ways,. Trelane says, I need you to do something for me somewhere else and he clicks his figures and some papers appear in his hands,. Trelane hands them over to her,. Trelane says, I need for you to do that on a computer system on a starship somewhere else from here.. and program in them sequences too it will bring that ship to this side of the quaderent.. That's all I need from you.. and I'll leave you and this little pathickt world alone,. Xena and Gabrielle look over the papers and can tell they are some kind of computerized commands one gives by voice to a computer and some other numbers and headings,. Xena says, can you give me some time to think this over,. Trelane says, Oh.. sure.. I'll give you a week and if you don't do it.. I'll go after your son "solen" in his souls afterlife.. and I'll make him believe he's in.. What do you call it .. Ah.. Tartaurs... Believe me I can do that much to him,. Xena says, Ok.. return in a week and I'll let you know my answer,. and Trelane disappears,. Afterwards Xena and Gabrielle go over history educational files... Since Hercules finished up on the old world he along with Kitt were brought here.. He wanted to be with sarina a Hind,. That he's been in love with for a long time,. Callisto had kitt connected to the main computer systems on this world so she had her's and Brians little friend to help her out with things here,. After not finding it right away,.. Kitt says, Why don't you drawl out the insignia you seen and put it on the scanner... Then I'd have a point of reference of it,. Then Xena and Gabrielle drawl out the Swastika and put in on a sensor to input into the system,. Kitt says, Xena are you two sure of what you seen ?,. Xena and Gabrielle reply, Yes.. were both certain,. Kitt says, I have a big file from earths history about that Insignia.. Its called a Swastika.. Xena its from the early 20th century.. Its origin is of the defeated Nazi party,. And then Kitt puts all the information about the Nazi's and Hitler on the screen,. It shows uniforms and other images,. but the uniform outfit looks a little different from the one they seen here.. but that Swastika and the Jack boots are one thing that remains the same,. Gabrielle and Xena didn't need to go over all the information, Gabrielle says, Xena.. Is it possible that Trelanes gone into earths past and is going to help the Nazi's win the world war ?,. Xena says, I don't know.. but we do know the Nazi's and their third riche was an evil empire.. along with Hitler ruling it as the supreme ruler,. Gabrielle says, the Nazi's were the most ruthless in earths history.. brutal.. sadistic... Its sickening me just thinking about what they did to others just because of what they were Born Of into life,. Xena says, But if he's gone into earths history.. How come no one else like his uncle or Callisto are aware of it ?,. Gabrielle looks at the papers with the instructions and then places each one at a time into the scanner so kitt can view it,. Gabrielle ask Kitt to come up with an analisist of what they are,. after a short time Kitt says, I need to run further analistist but part of its vary easy for me to comprehend,. Its a standard command line protocol override and take control of all systems on a starfleet vessel,. Xena says, Kitt how can I do that.. I don't even know much about them ships yet,. Kitt says, According to this.. your a fleet captain and can use your senior override commands to lock out systems and take control of a ship,. Kitt says, but somethings aren't right here either.. first of all according to all the recent information their isn't a starship Excelsior with the registry of Ncc - 2000-A... and your not Captain: Xena Kirk either,. Xena says, but this is from Trelane.. Kitt.. and how recent is your information from both Starfleet and the Federation,. Kitt says, Our systems have taken and updated information from carrier signals just less then a week ago.. I'm telling you their hasn't been a Starship Excelsior in a long time,.. That would be news Xena.. and it isn't in federation records nor in high security files and data,. Xena says, is their a person who even resembles me and has the same first name in starfleet with that rank ?,. Kitt says, I've already looked into that.. and I come up with nothing,. Xena says, What about the course heading and the numbers and some other kind of numbers or formula's,. Kitt says, that's a course heading into this solar system in this quaderent.. the formula is quite advanced... Its going to take me more time to come up with a good explanation for them,. Xena says, Ok.. We still have time.. go ahead and start working on it.. and let me know what you come up with,. Both Xena and Gabrielle go over to Gabrielles house and Xena spends the night and sleeps over their,. In the morning after Gabrielle and her husband along with Xena have eaten breakfast and they head over to Gabrielles computer terminal at her house and access Kitt,. Kitt tells them good morning,. Xena says, So what have you come up with,.. Both Xena and Gabby awate kitts answer,. Kitt says, what I've concluded Xena is.. Their isn't a Captain: Xena Kirk here in this known Universe.. nor is their a starship excelsior either.. But their could be both in another place that we don't know about,... the formula's are for an advanced Transpwarp drive,.. That I've never encountered before.. nor is known to this federation,. Xena and Gabrielle are a little puzzled and begin talking it over.. Gabrielle says, Xena.. I know why they aren't aware of what Trelanes up to... He's been going around into another universe.. or some kind of alternate one,. Xena thinks it over and says, and in one of them universes he's helped the Nazi's and Hitlers kind win a terrible war.. and he wants that ship for something other then going to visit other worlds to make friends,. Kitt calculates the possibilities of this and says, Xena.. That ship by what I can make out of all this information on the papers trelane gave you.. Can go into transwarp speed and its possible that it can also travail into alternate realities or universes too,. Xena says, But why doesn't he just make one with his powers just like Brian made this world,. Kitt thinks of what he knew of Brian and about a few Q's he's known and says, Maybe Trelane doesn't know how to create a starship like that,. Gabrielle says, That makes sense why he needs you Xena,... but why doesn't he just do it himself by turning himself into you or the other Xena that's their to trick the computers into locking out the controls,. Xena thinks that over and says, hold it.. something you just said rung a bell... Maybe he's been detected by another Q or what ever they are in that universe and has been forced out of it,... but they wouldn't sense me in it,. Kitt says, that sounds logical and probable,. Gabrielle says, So he needs you to do his dirty work for him,. Xena says, Yeah.. I'm not worried about "Solen" Gabrielle I'm worried about the others here,. Gabrielle says, Yeah.. I even caught on to his lie yesterday... because we knew Solen didn't pass on in a normal manner for a mortal... So hence he can't get at either Solen or Brian for that matter,. Xena says, Yeah.. but I'm going to play along with his plans.. He must not know we know he can't do that.. I'll play along until that ship comes here when that happens I'll release the controls over so they can bring up their defence systems,. Gabrielle ask, Why do you think they'll need them ?,. Xena says, If trelane is willing to risk bringing them here.. Then more then likely this is ware he'll have his Nazi's at to board that ship.. but they won't expect it to have its defenses up either,. Gabrielle says, What about Trelane.. he could just come aboard and stop you in your tracks,. Xena says, you didn't notice it yesterday did you ?,. Gabrielle says, Notice what ?,. Xena says, Them things he called Cigars weren't lit too long.. so I believe he just got their shortly before we did.. and he was using his powers sparingly.. and do you want to know why that was ?,. Gabrielle says, Oh.. I get that.. He was in a hurry and that's why he gave you a week.. He's trying hard to avoid been sensed that's why,. Xena says, You've got that right,.. He won't risk a full confrontation here for that reason,. Gabrielle then ask, Why doesn't he have that ship brought to the universe him and the Nazi's rule ?,. Xena says, More then likely he wants to test that ship out here.. or on this universes Starfleet to see how it will hold out tactically against the starships here,. Gabrielle says, and then what ?,. Xena says, Then they will return to their universe to study that ship to figure it out and start building more like it.. then they'll be able to not only transwarp across the universe but also into other ones too,. Gabrielle says, Xena if you play Trelane please be careful.. He's not like Ares.. or what Brian was.. He'll kill you in an instant if he has to,.... He's become evil its self.... Something that Brian averted from becoming,. Xena says, I already thought that over with just his actions towards us yesterday... He doesn't want to play games with us.... but I'm hopping that Callisto will show up in the mean time and help us stop him from having them evil Nazi's from carrying out what could be an up coming blood bath for the unsuspecting in this universe,. Gabrielle says, I hope your playing your cards right,... Because this may lead to unimaginable deaths and untold of destruction of worlds all across the board,. Xena says, I'm aware of what the Nazi's will do to other worlds.. Make salves out of others.. and lay waste to everyone who's not the same as them in their path,. Gabrielle says, This makes sense of why he got both brian and their uncle into making a mess out of things.. and what could have happened if that vulcan was to remain dead,. Xena thinks this over and says, it does make sense now.. Trelanes one of the destroyers of peace and harmony.. and that's why he despises all of us.. Brian.. and.. also Callisto,. Gabrielle says, could he be working for Dahok ?,. Xena says, I don't think so.. due to the fact when Brian and Solen left us.. she didn't sense them around... I think were dealing with an unknown evil force here.. and maybe a new one,... That Trelane's made a pact with,. Gabrielle says, No wonder why he doesn't care if he's bared or not from the Q continuum.... He plans after doing some biding with this evil force.. They both plan to overthrow the continuum and its ruling council,. Xena thinks it over and says, It isn't Dahok.. is another force.. in that book we've seen,.. and read out of,. Gabrielle says, you mean the one god.. who had a betrayer among his own kind,. Xena says, Yes that one.. It has to be,. Xena explains, I believe back in our old world.. these two evil forces were competing with one another.. and brian made both Dahok and Hope look like fools in the evil underworld.. and they lost face because of that,... Dahok and Hope in return may have merged with this other Evil force... Since they couldn't prevail.. and that's why Solen became possessed by another soul from this horrible place,... The Soul was so frightened it was too terrified to let go when Brian joined with solen to see if he could help,.. He realized he couldn't with out killing Solen .. he wouldn't do that since he made word to me.. So he died with him instead,. Gabrielle says, but will they ever be returned to us ?,. Xena says, We won't ever know that.. Its not up to us nor is it likely going to be up to either of them,. Later on that day Trelane has appeared again,. Xena says, I thought you had given me a week ?,. Trelane says, I lied.. a day is more then enough time for you to make up your little insignificant minds up,... So whats the answer going to be ?,. Xena says, Ok.. I'll do it... but you have to live up to your promise to leave this world and the people in it alone for as long as you exist,. Trelane says, I'll do that.. for ya.. if it puts your wormy little mind at ease.. Then I'll agree to it,. Then a transport flash happens and Gabrielle is now there,. Xena ask, Why did you bring her here ?,. Trelane says, She's going to go along with you,. and some sheets of papers are in her hands with instructions for what Gabrielle is to do,. Xena says, Ok.. Were ready,. Trelane says, Now let me warn you Xena if you try and double cross me the cost and price will be vary grate for your little scrawny friend here,. Xena says, What do you mean,. Trelane says, Your aware we can Join with your essents and mind and so on.. Right ?,. Xena says, Yes.. Brian's done it with both of us,. Trelane says, Yes.. and I'll do it in a manner.. I'll crush her little mind and essents and everything... She'll be nothing more then a living vegetable.. nothing more.. if you double cross me,. Xena says, Ok.. I know risk.. lets go,. They appear in some empty control room on this Starship Excelsior its the Battle Bridge of it,. Xena and Gabrielle are by themselfs but follow the directions Trelane has provided them with,. Gabrielle says, This is must be the computer access terminal,. Xena says, It sure looks like it.. by its looks,. Gabrielle says, You still plan on crossing him ?,. Xena says, I don't know.. but we will still have some time on our hands before we return... but lets hope help comes from Callisto or someone else from the continuum... Lets get this over with now,. Gabrielle says, Computer confirm this is Captain: Gabrielle,. The computer scans her eyes and checks her voice patterns and confirms she is indeed the Captain,. Computer voice says, Identity confirmed,. Gabrielle says, Computer Lock out all other computer stations and controls except this one,. The computer bleeps and says, completed,. Gabrielle says, computer list Fleet Captain: Xena Kirk as being on board now,. The computer says, Completed.. Fleet Captain: Xena Kirk is listed as on board,. Gabrielle Continues,. Computer Transfer Command protocols and ship command to fleet Captain: Xena Kirk.. Effective immediately. The computer Confirms this,. Then Xena steps up to the control terminal and says, Computer recognize Captain: Xena Kirk,. The computer scans her eyes and checks the voice prints and confirms she's the Fleet captain of this fleet and ship,. Xena says, Computer access and override the following systems,.. and lock them out.. all except this bridge,. override all Engineering ... Helm.. navigational.. weapons.. security.. and transporter and turbo lifts controls lock them all out.. except for my command codes and security clearance protocols,. the computer works for a less then a minute and says, Completed,. Gabrielle says, So now we have full control of this ship from here,. Xena says, Yes we have.. now lets see if this is going to work... Like our friend trelane said it would,. Xena says, Computer access helm and navigational systems plot in a course heading to xxxx.xxx bring the transwarp drive on line,. Computer bleeps its completed,. Xena then goes over to another center that has the alternate universe control station and punches in the formula so this ship will do travel into other realities now,. Computer engage transwarp now,. and the ship doesn't move but it feels like they just transported or something like that,. The computer terminal at this alternate universe controls center reports alternate universe travel completed,. Gabrielle says, so we just returned into our side of the woods,. Xena says, from what little I understand here we have,...or to the place Trelane wanted us to take this ship to,. Xena tells the computer to disengage the transwarp drive now,. the computer does,. Xena goes over her instructions more.. he says here we have to engage and disengage the transwarp systems to do alternate universe travail ... the ship won't go into transwarp speed yet,. or it didn't do it just then when he crossed back over,. Gabrielle says, I wish we knew more about these ships then what we do know about them,. Xena says, So do I.. Gabby.. so do I,. Xena then takes the alternate universe travail system off line and tells the computer to engage the transwarp drive and execute the currently plotted course,. The computer takes them into transwarp now,. Xena ask, Computer how long until we reach our destination ?,. The computer says, Nine hours and twenty- seven minutes at present speed,. Xena looks to Gabrielle and says, Well we've got a little over Nine hours to review our plans.. or come up with a better one,. On the Bridge of this ship, Captain: Gabrielle along with Captain: Data are trying to regain control of the ship,. captain, Gabrielle says, Data how come We can't release the computer control on anything,. Data says, You won't believe this but according to this you released command of this ship over to Captain: Xena Kirk.. just before we lost total control over everything,... and Xena does have a higher security and access level then you or I have,. Gabrielle says, That isn't possible.. Xena's on her ship right now some ware in the J quaderent ware we were,... Can you determine ware were going ?,. Data accesses the current course headings and says, Were heading into the Alpha Quaderent at high Transwarp speed.. We will be there in less then Nine hours,. Gabrielle says, what section of the Alpha Quaderent are we going to ?,. Data tells her ware the ships heading is going to,. Gabrielle says, Well in our Universe that area is a desolate area of space.... But we've been brought into some other alternate universe.. So who knows whats in store for us,... In the mean time lets keep trying to regain any control over anything... Even the Turbo lifts and the transporters would do,. Data agrees with her and keeps attempting to brake the computer security protocols,. [ Meanwhile ] Brian and the First are going over Trelanes Actions and what they know about him,. Brian says, From what you've told me.. If he's pledged himself to the forces of Evil.. I might not be able to stop him,. The first says, I know.. most of his powers are still orginateing from been a Q.. But they have been augmented by the forces of darkness,. Brian says, Then How do I fight him... Should I enlist others Q's to my Aid ?,. The First then pulls out a Weapon that looks like a small phaser pistol,. Brian says, That won't stop him.. I have one on my side much bigger then that,. The First says, Its not what you think it is... Brian this thing emits an anti-quantum beam.. It will have the same affect as if you'd shot a human with a phaser,. Brian remembers his little ordeal with that anti-quantum radiation commit and says, I can't take Justice into my own hands.. and kill him,. The first says, They will call it a Justified Killing of another Q when you present the evidence of what he's done and is planing to do,. Brian says, I don't know if they can with stand another Shocker from me,. The first says, They'll be shocked at first but then they'll come around to what the facts are and will act sensibly this time,. Brian says, Well I've gone this far.. I guess I've really done what no other Q has done before,. The first says, Now.. Xena and Gabrielle have already hijacked that ship.. they will do the right thing in the end.. Rather then letting them Evil's take possession of it.. They will return control of it.. and that's when I'm going to send you and solen back,. Brian says, I understand what may have to be done.. he looks over the power levels of this weapon she has giving him and says, Can a stun him with this ?,. She says, No but it will cause some pain.. the only setting that will stop him is this one,. Brian says, only two settings for this.... Well I'll see if a little pain might convince him to give up,. She says, Well theirs always that hope,. Brian then ask, Wait a minute once I return he'll sense my presents there and won't show up,. The first says, hmm.. and she uses her powers on brian and says, There... No Q not even your leader will sense your return.. But I warn you now.. its not permanent either.. in 12 hours time they will know your back,. Brian says, Hopefully by then it will be over with in less then a few hours time,. The first has solen returned to Brian informs him of whats going to take place soon,. [ Then on the Excelsior,. ] Xena and Gabrielle have thought over everything,. Gabrielle says, Ok then lets establish contact with the other me.. who's really the captain of this ship,. They go over to the ships intercom system and try and start figuring out how to call the main bridge of this ship on the screen,. Xena says, Its too bad Kitt isn't a portable hand held unit.. this would move more faster with him,. Gabrielle agrees,. After a few fails and tries they have successfully made contact with the bridge of this ship,. The Gabrielle who's the captain of this ship is vary astonished to find another her and Xena on the Battle Bridge of this ship,. Xena explains why her and her Gabrielle have done what they did here.. and she tells them what she suspects once this ship has reached its destination and drops out of transwarp,. This Captain, Gabby says, Well if your anything like the Xena I know... You've already got or have a plan ?,... if I'm right,. Xena says, Yes.. I sure do and she tells them what she plans to do when this ship reaches its destination,. This Captain Gabby ask, can you release the controls of our comm and transporter and turbo lift systems,. Xena says, Ok.. it will take me a few minutes to do that,. Xena has released the controls for the systems she requested,. then this Bridges doors come open and the other Gabrielle and her Co/Captain Data are inside the Battle Bridge,. Both Gabrielles look each other over,... Except for the clothes they look like identical twins,. Captain Gabby says, Why don't me and her change places ?,. Data looks and says, That's a good Idea but.. This Gabrielle doesn't have the experience of being a Starship Captain in command of this ship,. Captain Gabrielle says, I see ware your coming from.. Data you'll have the Con.. She's just going to be sitting in the center seat that's all,... When that other ship appears.. I'll bring the weapons systems on line and raise the shields.. Hopefully I'll have enough time to transfer full control back to the main bridge.. Hopefully there / and our buddy Trelane won't realize until its to late that we've changed places.. and it isn't the same Gabrielle on this battle bridge,. Both Gabrielle's exit to go and exchange each others attire now,. Xena finds Data to be an interesting person and ask,. What world are you from ?,. Data says, I'm not a human.. I'm an android ?,. Xena says, Your a walking computer ?,. Data says, yes... and no.. much better then that,. Xena says, I have a friend you might be interested in on my world,. Data says, how,. Xena explains Kitt to him,. Data says, that's fascinating,.. Well if we get the chance.. I'd like to meet him,. Xena says, I'm sure he'd find you to be a kindred of himself,. Then both Gabrielle's enter this bridge again,. she informs Data to have the ship ready for battle stations when they drop out of transwarp but not to sound the alarm.. I don't want our friend suspecting something has happened he didn't plan on happening,. Data says, Understood Mam and Data and Gabrielle exit this bridge and head up to the main one,. Then a Q transport flash happens,. Its Callisto,. this Captain Gabrielle isn't sure which callisto it is,. Callisto says, Xena... Kitts informed me of whats gone on and I have an idea of whats going down... I've come to help,. Capt, Gabrielle says, I presume Xena.. She's the Callisto you know here ?,. Xena says, I believe she is,... since she knows Kitt,. Callisto says, So you.. must be the Captain of this ship,. Gabrielle says, I vary much am,. Callisto says, I presume you and the Gabrielle I know have changed places ?,. Capt, Gabrielle says, We have... what do you know about Starship's and the controls of the basic systems ?,. Callisto says, Enough to get me by,. Capt, Gabrielle says, So much more the better... Good man the Weapons systems and stand by to arm them.. Were going to be dropping out of transwarp soon... and I think were going to have company that has intentions of boarding us,. Callisto takes the weapons and shield control systems,. Capt, Gabrielle informs data of the small changes just made to the plan,. Xena releases the command protocols to this Captain Gabrielle so she can transfer control over to the main bridge as they begin to fire on the ship they suspect will be in hiding looking for them,. Then the ship drops out of transwarp and they are now in the Centaruis system,. Callisto scans the system and says, I don't see any other ships here... But with my powers.. I can sense them here,. Gabrielle says, They must be in cloak.. and she tells her how to access the scanners to see if they are under a standard cloak,. Callisto does and she says.. Yes.. They are here and approaching this ship,. Capt, Gabrielle says, Ok just remember what to do when they come out of cloak,. Callisto says, Oh.. I know.. bring the shields up and start firing on them with the phasers and start loading the torpedo bays,. Gabrielle says, You've got it.. Well at least your more interested in helping others then the Callisto I know who became a Q too,... she more or less will give advice and moral support but nothing more,. Callisto smiles and says, Well whats the point of going out in the galaxy with out getting in on the action sometimes... it would be a bore.. and I hate being bored,. Captain, Gabby, Xena and callisto smile with glee in there faces,. Then the moment has come that other ship starts coming out of cloak,. Callisto brings the defence systems on line and brings the ships shields up,. and manages to get the phasers on line and has a target lock on that ship,. Capt, Gabrielle says, Ok you may fire on them.. They already attempted to board us,. Callisto smiles for a second and then presses the fire button,. Beams shoot out hitting the other ship causing major damage,. Callisto says, the torpedo bays are loaded and are ready to fire,. Gabrielle walks over to the communications station and hails that ship to surrender,. The reply they get in return is two torpedo hits on the shields,. Gabrielle says, fire two back in return,. She does and the sight is something else to see,. Callisto scans whats known in this universe and the other Gabrielles as an ambassador class starship but this one is heavily armed and armored,. Then another Voice is heard and Trelane appears,. Trelane says, So you double crossed me... and he sees Callisto and says, Oh and you helped them you little whore,. Callisto says, your going to be in allot of trouble for this Trelane,. Trelane says, I don't answer to the same people you have to answer to anymore,. why don't you join me.. in my conquest... My Dear cousin,. Callisto says, No.. Just the thought of even helping you out or doing bidding for the ones your doing this for.. Makes my skin crawl.. and turns my stomach upside down,. Trelane says, Ok.. but you Xena your going to get to see what I'm going to do to your little wormy friend,. Looking to the Gabrielle he sees here,. Gabrielle says, I take it.. you had to use the other Xena and Gabrielle... Trelane.. Julian told me all about you and your Evil doings,. Trelane says, Oh.. your the other little worm from the other Universe... He looks to Xena and says to her, You pulled the old switch on me.. Vary Cleaver.. but that isn't going to save her.. and a flash happens and the Gabrielle that this Xena knows appears,. Callisto says, Your not going to harm her.. I won't let you.. I'll fight you first Trelane,. Trelane says, Oh.. you think you will... Ok.. I'll have her for dinner and you for desert,. and Callisto all of the sudden can't move nor can she use her powers either,. Trelane says, You see... Our powers are much more grater when we team up with others... Callisto you have such potential.. to become something with so much more meaning then helping others and making peace,... To bad you won't join us,... Now.. I'm going to have that little twerps essens to crush for dinner, Then I'll turn her over to my Worshippers,..the Nazi.. S.S. Storm Troopers so they can get some gratification out of her wile shouting Sige Heil.. and Callisto.. I make promise to you.. I'll give you some pleasure before I brake you,. Trelane stops Gabrielle form moving.. Xena attempts to get at him to stop him from getting her.. but Trelane has put up a force field between her and them,. Trelane says, Nice try Xena.. but I warned you what would happen if you crossed me.. and I meant every word of it,. Trelane reaches out for Gabrielles hands but then He's hit by something that causes pain to him,. Brian says, Ok... Trelane.. Give it up.. you can't get away either so don't even bother to try,. Trelane turns around and says, Why .. Brian.. I thought you were a gone for good,. Brian says, Well I thought I was to for a short time... now you are to return with me to the continuum and your going to face the charges that will be brought up against you for what You've done to others.. and how you've wrecked that other universe.. BY ! HELPING OUT ALDOPH HITLER!!.. AND THE NAZI'S OF ALL PEOPLE,. Trelane says, I can't allow you to do that..and he uses some other force to throw the Weapon out of Brians hand,. Brian says, Ok.. If you want to fight hand to hand.. lets go.. but your coming back with me one way or the other,. Trelane starts hitting Brian with the evil powers he's acquired.. Brian falls to the deck of this Bridge and Trelane says,.. Oh.. surprise.. Surprise.. little cousin of mine... You thought you'd actually take me out,. Brian says, They were right you are evil now.. not the trelane I once knew,. Trelane says, Oh.. i'm so much better then I used to be,... and it was nice of you to bring that little shit in your company too,. Referring to Solen,. Trelane says, He's Xena's son.. I'm going to enjoy taring his ascents apart too just like I'm going to do to the other two,. Xena attempts to get at Trelane again.. but this time Trelane uses his powers to slam Xena into a bulk head on this ship.. it almost knocks her out,. That provided enough distraction since the weapon landed next to Solen... He pick's it up and puts the settings on the second one.. and he now has the drop on Trelane,. Trelane ask brian, Join me.. again.. you had so much more when you were doing things for me,. Brian says, Never,..again,. Trelane says, just like Callisto.. you don't want greatness again,... I guess those two miss goody too shoes has corrupted all of you too much,. Referring to both Xena and Gabrielle they have known,. Trelane try's to inflect more pain on Brian in order to twist him back on his side,. Brian lets out a yelp of pain but doesn't give in,. Then Solen shouts,. STOP IT!!!.. Give up.. Trelane looks at him and sees that solen has the weapon,. Trelane says, Oh.. I know you won't shoot me little boy... Your to scared too.. All because your stupid mother told you not to play with guns,. Trelane starts moving towards Solen, Solen slowly backs up away from him,. Trelane says, Ok.. Little Boy.. Give it to me,. with his arm stretched out,. Solen says, Please don't make me do this.. I don't want to shoot you with it,. Trelane almost has solen cornered with no ware else to go to,. Trelane says, Come on.. Little boy hand it over.. I promise I won't kill your mother if you do,. Solens now backed up next to some other controls on this Battle Bridge and says, I told you don't come any closer or I'll use this... Don't make me do it,. Trelane says, You won't do it.. you little punk.. so hand it over to me now,. The ship rocks a little.. The main bridge has taken over the controls and they are still in a stance with that Nazi starship,. but the Nazi's are starting to lose this battle,. Trelane almost has the weapon in his hands, Trelane says, I knew you didn't have the gull to pull the trigger,. and he puts his hand on the top of this weapon and is ready to pull it out of Solens hand,. Trelane says, Oh.. Dear.. your one of them... what do the humans call boys like you,... Oh.. a panty pampered little boy bitch,. Solen Shouts.. I said stop it.. and he pulls the trigger of this weapon a beam shoots out and hits Trelane, Who's now in agony and as he starts to disintegrate he shouts.. You little shittt.. Aaahh.. and the ship starts shaking and then a pop happens and bits of light fly up to the ceiling of this Bridge and as the little bits of light fall they disappear before hitting the floor.. It was some fire work show ,. Trelane is no ware to be seen,. The hold on all of them Callisto, Gabrielle and Brian is now gone,. Brian and Callisto go next to solen Brian ask, Are you ok,. Solen's quiet.. its his first kill ever,. Solen says, I think I'm ok.. but what did I just do,. Callisto takes Solen into her arms and says, You did fine...you'll be fine son,. Brian takes the weapon out of solen's hand,. and go's over to tend to Xena now.. who was seriously hurt from been thrown into the bulk head by Trelane,. Xena in the state of shock says, Its really you.. You've come back with my son,. Brian says, Take it easy.. that blow has caused damage to Xenas lungs and kidneys and some bones,. Brian sees this with his hand scanner and snaps his fingers and Xena's injuries are cured,. Brian then Helps xena to her feet,. and they both go over to Solen and Callisto,. Both Gabrielle's are standing over next to each other,. Captain Gabrielle calls data up,... data's now on the main screen and says, Mam.. that other ship just destroyed themselfs once they're weapons and other systems were taken out,. Gabrielle says, What is Our status Captain,. Data says, We've sustained minor damage and the Transwarp is off line from minor battle damage.. but we will have them back on in five hours,. Gabrielle says, Tell them to expedite the repairs on the transwarp drive,. Brian says, Captain.. if I may ?,. Capt, Gabrielle says, yes.. what can we do for you ?,. Brian tells them what planet they live on.. If you'd like to, you and your crew are welcome send down landing parties on the surface.. I'm sure you'd find it quite an interesting visit,. Gabrielle tells Data to plot a course for this planet,. and the screen goes off,. Callisto now been free jumps on to Brian and says, It is really you... but how.. I can't feel nor sense your presents here,. Brian says, You have the First to thank for that.. Its only temporary,. Callisto hugs him so tightly and also digs her nails into him too,. Brian says, Oh.. if I were mortal.. You'd crushed my chest by now,.. Callisto eases the hold a little.. and says, I've missed you so much.... You have no idea how so much I did,. Brian says, I missed you too dear sister,.. Callisto starts to Bite between his neck and shoulder area,.. a sign of affection from her.. Brian returns the same to her.. Brian says, We've got to be careful.. were just short of incest.. they both get ahold of them selfs... Its almost the same with Xena and solen except for the biting part,. Later on the Centaur world This Captain Gabrielle along with Data and others of her crew are amazed by their findings of both the Centaurs and the Royal Golden hinds,. Data has met Kitt and is amazed by finding a computer similar to himself in some ways... Like having a personality of its own and i to think for its self,. They have a feast that evening in a banquet hall,. Captain Gabrielle ask, Why did you create such an advanced city since you'd just brought them here recently... and also My ships scanners have detected the base that's hidden inside the moon on that third livable planet in this system ?,. Brian says, Well its a long story but to make it short.. I planed for this society to be out travelling in space and have there own little fleet of ships along with the federation once they make contact with us,. Xena says, Us ?,. Brian says, Yes us.. not them not you.. but us,. Xena ask, So what are you saying,. Brian says, When I was gone Xena.. I gave it some thought about you and me.. and I've decided that Yes.. I'll settle down with you,. Xena is taken off guard and is wondering what he's going to say or do next,. Brian then gets on his knees and ask,.. Xena you know I love you dearly.. and I think you have the same feelings for me.. would you allow yourself to Marry me ?,. Xena says, Yes... Yess.. I will marry you.. and she stands up and so does he.. she throes herself on to him.. and says, I always wondered when you were going to come around... now after all of this you finally have,... Come to terms with yourself,. Brian says, I have.. and I'm more comfortable about us now,... so I take it were officially engaged to be married sometime in the future now,. Xena softly says, Yes we are.. and you know... when we viewed what you did... by passing on.. We weren't as sad nor angary with your decisions.. we understood what you were faced with.. and you meant it.. You'd get to the bottom of things.. no matter what.. and my son wouldn't die either,.. and to keep your words.. you let yourself die along with him,... Xena says, Your a Q with grate honor.. and I'm vary proud of you and my son.. and your Sister Callisto,. Brian says, It was a closer call for me then you think.. Honey.. I'll tell you everything some other time.. About me and your sons little adventure we had,. Xena says, Yeah.. it toke you two over Seventeen months ?,... Brian says, That wasn't up to me... Xena it was the first and the others.. I believe,. Xena says, I see,. Later on The other Gabrielle along with her crew are ready to depart and return to there reality and side of the universe,. Brian ask, Captain, how many times have you actually traveled into other alternate realities and universes with that starship of yours,. Capt, Gabby says, this is our second time.. the first was by accident,, we were out for our first time out with that ship and the second time is now.. when your Xena and Gabrielle hijacked it,. Brian says, So the people on your side.. are just learning about how to do alternate travel and exploration of space.. along with Transwarping,. Capt, Gabrielle says, So far we don't fully understand alternate universe travel too well.. Because on our first time.. What we found was so disturbing.. from what we always known... It was not a vary pleasant thing at all,.. So we've kinda put alt, travailing to the side for the time been,... We still have plenty of our own universe to explore since were equipped with an advanced Transwarp drive system,. Brian says, Yeah.. If you weren't aware of it.. I met Julian,.. in our heavens or after existence... He told me enough so I knew what my late Cousin was up to.. and that he wanted the technologies from your ship and universe... I'm also aware its equipped with vary advanced weaponry.. among other things.. he wanted them Nazi's pigs he helped out.. to get there grubby hands on it,... I'm sorry for all the trouble you and your crew have been threw out of this ordeal,. Capt, Gabrielle says, There's no need to apologize to me... Your Xena was only trying to buy time and come up with a good plan.. she had one...As the Xena,.. I've always known for me... would have been doing the same thing,. Brian says, anyways Its been nice to meeting you and your crew.. I'm sure your going to put in your reports to your superiors of your findings in this alternate universe... I'm sure they'll find it quite interesting since this ended more pleasantly.. then the last one.. and plus having met others that aren't hostile.. just makes it all better for both sides concerns,. Captain Gabrielle says, Well we could meet another time.. Who knows.. What the Universes hold in store for any of us,. She gives Brian a kiss on the cheek and then taps her Comm badge and says, Gabrielle to Excelsior beam me up,. and then she disappears in a transporter beam,. Later on Brian's in his own home and is going over the information that Julian has supplied him with,. The Evidence and Trelanes doings,. Julian also slipped some other information over to him... About how he had met the other Xena and Gabrielle and the events that lead to them being in there 25th century in that reality,. Brian sees Julian was a little mischievous like himself.. but his first meeting was under some what different conditions... He went to them.. with out been ordered.. but rather to cause trouble.. he did.. but also he had at it with Ares and left them.. without further intervention.. and that later lead to Dahok and Ares merging in the future.. and almost the Continuum's ending in that universe,. Brian says to himself allot of things are similar yet other things aren't between the two universes,. He later skips around things and finds in this Universe the Enterprise-D was destroyed in obit in the veridian system.. or in veridian 3's obit... and the nexus and kirk,. Brian thinks and to himself and says, The Enterprise-D in this universe was destroyed by a warp core breach in battle with the dominion and jemhadar ships,. as in the other and this universe all of the crew survive in the sacker section of the ship but neither was worth fixing or salvaging.. one landed on a planet in that universe.. The one in this universe was so badly damaged.. They sent it to the scrap heap,. Some things are different some aren't... but like Julian told him.. That's why they are called alternits,. Then the Door chime sounds,. Brian says, Come on in... Its Xena,. Brian says, come sit next to me honey,.. Xena does she sees what he's been reading,. Xena says, Your reading something that other Q gave you from the Universe that Captain Gabrielle and her co/captain Data are from,. Brian says, Yes.. I'm just studying the differences from what's gone on here and over there,... some is the same some isn't,. Then an Image appears of James T. Kirk.. and Julian's provided him with the information on how he made his powers work with in the nexus,... Brian thinks over what a Q did to get out but sees what he didn't do.. that he must have over looked it,. Xena sees this Image of kirk and knows who it is.. from Callisto and her and Gabrielles little lesson about time line corruption,. Brian notices that Xena's looking over this other kirks information.. but He also catches on that she recognizes him too,. Brian says, Have you read about him.. in history ?,. Xena says, Yes I did in one of my history lessons and plus something Callisto showed me in one of the Holo Suites,. Brian turns his attention from the screen and to her and ask, How is Solen doing ?,. Xena says, The counselor believes he'll be fine and back to his smiling self in a week.. but he does understand he hadn't done anything wrong that there wasn't any choice left for him.. but to fire that weapon,. Brian says, I wanted to send him here.. But he insisted on coming along with me.. So I let him,. Xena says, Its ok.. This is probably going to be a good leaning experience for him.. That getting in on apart of the action isn't always fun.. Even when your on the winning side of the coin,. Brian says, yes.. I think he's learning.. about that and sometimes risk is also part of the game too,. Xena says, Yeah.. it is,.. but he'll pull threw this ordeal ok,. Brian says, So what do you think of our first unofficial contact,. Xena says, Well is wasn't what I originally had in mind,. Brian says, Yeah .. neither did I... we have Trelane to thank for that... but anyways things went pretty smooth with the crew and the people down here that didn't have any Idea of what had happened either,... Captain Gabrielle was just as surprised as her crew to find the hinds and the centaurs here.. I guess in that universe they are gone for good,. Xena says, But not this one,. Brian looks to the screens small image of kirk and he says, Xena so what do you know of him ?,. Xena says, I know that he was a starship captain over eighty years ago and is still known in the federation and starfleets history today,... He was killed after retiring... he was on the maiden voyage of a ship that Bore the same name as the one he commanded on and off in a thirty year period,... and a few things more... that's all,. Brian says, What if I told you that I believe he didn't die there ?,. Xena says, Come on.. I know the story about him.. Even your sister Callisto told me it,. Brian says, Yes she was going by what we knew in human history.. As you know yourself just by looking back on it 2500 years ago.. how many miss assumptions they have made,. Xena says, oh.. yeah .. I could see just how they missinteurpeted what was written about the olympian gods,.. They have Ares totally wrong as another god,. Brian smiles,. Xena says, Your serious about Kirk aren't you ?,... Look the guy was vaporized into a billions pieces when that thing hit the hull of that ship,. Brian says, Yes they know that.. and we believed it too,... No one .. not even us ever went to check the afterlife for humans and mortals so it was really never officially confirmed he died to begin with,. Xena says, You learned something about him when you passed over with solen.. Its to do with that Julian fellow.. that in a sense is the brother you never had,. Brian says, Yes.. and I learned a few things that are exact as here.. Like that ribbon and Kirk's believed death on both sides,. Xena says, Brian.. I know what you did to him in the past, when you were out seeking kicks.. I know all about Khan and that Genesis thing too,. Brian says, How do you know I was some of the cause of it ?,. Xena says, Callisto more or less was showing us about time line corruption and used that as an example.. Me and Gabrielle were trying to get her to take us back just before your believed death, to stop it from happening.. and I seen what was the last straw with your mother and other Q's,. Brian bows his head in shame that both Xena and Gabrielle along with his sister witnessed something he had done out of pure maliciousness.. to see what was going happen and laugh at them... when it did happen,. Xena puts her arm on brian's shoulder and says, Look after what's happened here and Trilane.. To me and even Gabrielle and more then likely Callisto and others now.. Its all too clear to us.. Its was Trelane who put you up into doing them things.. He didn't have the gull to do it himself so he put others up to doing it for him.. After he didn't have anyone else to do it for him and that evil force he'd made a packed with.. He got Brave and also stupid too,. Brian says, None of us would have ever known until it was way to late.. His mistake was going into that Universe were Julian is.. Who had managed to evolve or earn his way to being what this first is now,... Julian had forced him out of that side a few times but.. Julian was also wise enough to investigate what Trelane was up to... when he seen what Trelane had done there with the Nazi's he knew he wouldn't stop at anything.. in order for them horrible people to have there hands on the technologies so they could not only rule that universe but then afterwards start invading others to over throw,. Xena says, Him and that evil force wanted to lay everything to waste and afterwards they'd overthrow the continuum in time,. Me and Gabrielle figured a few things out ourselfs.. like that Swastika he had on his outfit... with a little of Kitts help.. we more or less figured out what he was up to,. Brian says, Yeah.. I do have to give you two.. allot of credit too... for figuring out what his game was,. Xena says, Well it was kind of puzzling to me when I noticed the directions he had Given me.. Captain: Xena Kirk.. with the command override codes and all... Kitt also played a big help too,... He Identified that Swastika.. me and Gabby knew we seen it in our history lessons but weren't too sure of what group or party it belonged to.. and plus when Kitt seen the command codes and instructions.. and plus this Universe does not presently have a Starship Excelsior-A.. That left us enough clues to figure out what was going on,. Brian says, I'm amazed Xena.. Considering you and the others aren't yet up to what starships are and can do... and plus been way out of your era.. to figure this all out,. Xena says, One thing I'm certain of now... No matter with all the computers.. Spaceships.. and so on.. Some things remain all the same just done a little differently,. Brian ask, and what are they ?,. Xena says, Nature.... natures of people and others.. including Evil ones.. They always want the same thing.. Its only that they use different tools and means to try and achieve it... that's all,. Brian thinks it over and says, Your right,. Xena gives him a kiss on the lips now.. and says, I'm lucky to have gotten not only my son.. but also you back too,. Brian says, I've missed you dearly too.. my love,. Brian turns off the computer terminal and says, I had no idea of how late its gotten.. its two in the morning now,. Xena yawns and Brian ask.. My house or yours ?,. Xena says, Mine.. and Brian says, computer lights off,. and the exit and go to sleep over at Xenas home,. Wile laying down Xena noticed the bite mark on Brian's side lower neck and ask,. I'm wondering about you and Callisto since you'd spent allot of time with her.. When you were teaching and guiding her ?,. Brian says, Well what would you like to know,. Xena says, How far did you ever let her get intimate with you... Since I remember you stating something about we've got to be careful... Were just short of incest,. Brian says, Well as you know.. I'm probably the vary first person she's loved... And really cared about her... Since she was a Child,. Xena says, And ?,. Brian says, Well it wasn't easy for her when she first came to the continuum with me... But anyways.. To her I'm the first that's ever truly showed her right from wrong since she was a child... and didn't want to use her for some evil or perverted reason... Like others did to her.. for there own gains or evil purposes,. Xena says, I know theirs more to it ?,. Brian says, Yes there is a little more... Xena she fell in love with me and had stronger feelings for me more then a brother / sister or Teacher type of relationship,... But I told her she only felt that way.. Due to the facts I've just told you,. Xena thinks and says, I see.. She's vary fond of you.. and emotionally attached to you.. In a similar way... A child is to a parent or mentor,. Brian says, That's ware it stands... What happened today was she tends to do things like that when she becomes overly happy and excited,. Xena says, I can understand that... In a sense emotionally she's still young,. Brian says, yes.. but as you seen today.. She won't never ever return to her old self again... She rather die instead,. Xena says, Yeah.. she proved that to me when Trelane was making an offer for her to join him,. Brian says, I'm vary proud of her.. how she kept it all together and toke over where I'd left off at,. Xena says, She did excellent,. Brian says, She did fine.. if not as good as If I'd been here,. Brian lets it slip out of his mouth and unknowingly says, She'll one day exceed me,. Xena says, You know something, You haven't told anyone ?,. Brian says, Yes I believe I may,. Xena says, Its something about you been what the banchies said about you being the Emissary of both Good and Evil, Isn't it,. Brian says, well to put that correctly.. I'm what they call the Emissary of Right and Wrong,... or Good or Bad,.. I can play both... But Callisto is another story,. She's going to be the bringer of Universal Peace one day.. for all.. Q's.. Humans.. Mankind,. Xena thinks that over and says, Because she'd have learned it threw You... and will eventually set off to do grater things then whats she's been apart of here and in the continuum,. Brian says, Not only me.. all of us are slowly inspiring her into it,... And in time she's going to exceed me,. Xena says, and how do you feel about her doing more and better then you,.. In the future,. Brian says, She'll make me vary proud, Because I'd... No .. We... would and will have taken apart in it all,. Xena say, Yes we will have.. but sometimes I still feel guilty for how, I treated her years ago,. Brian says, It was the circumstances and conditions at the time Xena,... You know when she had taken apart of your sons death by helping out Hope,. Xena says, Yes.. I vary much remember our first time joining all too well.. and sometimes I wonder if Gabrielle even understood her better then I did... I remember the time after she'd had that Ambrosia and I cut that rope and her and Velaska fell into that lava pit.. Afterwards Gabrielle asked me If Callisto felt sorry for what she'd done to others.. And I gave her a definite NO,... and Gabrielle saying she believed Callisto was sorry for the tearable things she'd done,... and Gabrielle telling me she'd forgiven her for killing her husband that day,. Brian says, Xena you don't have to feel guilty for that.. Even she knows that you and her made some terrible mistakes,. Xena says, In a way it was kind of my fault for not reaching out to her when I had earlier opportunities to do so.. Rather then doing it with you in that joining,. Brian says, Maybe that's the way the universe wants it to unfold for all of us,... You've seen some of the things I was doing before you... I made some really foolish mistakes to,. Xena says, yeah... You sure did make a few Big ones in comparison to me and your sister,... Xena Giggles now,. Brian says, This some how brings laughter to you how ?,. Xena says, you don't get it do you ?,. Brian's wondering whats to laugh about and says, Not really,. Xena says, How things have and are unfolding for all us foolish humans and Q's and even what I once considered as gods,. Brian starts laughing too and says, I see it.. Your laughing it off... Or just Like me.. You'd cry or scream instead,. Xena says, yes.. and they both fall asleep giggling with each other,. When they woke up the next morning... They both had breakfast and Brian was now wondering when he was going to be asked to return to the Continuum to give a statement of what had happened with Trelane.. Then Xena's door chime sounded,. Xena says, Yeah.. Please enter,.. and the door opens and of all the People in the Universe... Her Jaw dropped open for a second and so did Brians,. It was the Q Continuums High Leader,. Xena didn't know what to say... Brian said.. Dear high Q.... Well please come on in,. the Leader enters the house,. Brian says, I'm sorry for not showing up after I'd returned but I've had my hands tied to other business... Now I know your here because of what happened with me and Trelane.. There wasn't any other Choice,. Q leader says, I've heard all about what happened From Callisto,... With that other ship and Trelane and the Nazi's from that other universe he'd helped them out,. Brian says, Then are you here to personally tell me something ?,. The Q leader says, Yes.. I just wanted the information about Trelanes activities that other Q or who ever he was.. He had given you.. That's all,. Brian says, You mean to tell me there's not going to be any formal inquiry over Trelanes death,. The Q leader says, Not presently,. Brian you know your the first Q ever to return from the abliss...Even though it was vary premature for you and to take a mortal along with you,... In order to save him,. Brian says, I'm aware of that fact,. The leader says, Do you know all this is going to raise questions about the Continuum in the future and might even bring changes for the worse or better,. Brian says, I know.. Believe me when I threw myself into that place.. I wasn't sure... If I nor the person "Solen..Xena's son" if we were ever going to see this world or any other for a long time to come,. The Q Leader ask, And what and who did you find ?,. Brian says, I found our abiss / Oblivion state and then I found That woman the first in eternity.. and a few others,.. I haven't even toke time to make out a formal report to anyone.. I'm still trying to catch up on other things,. The Q Leader says, Its quite all right... What You've done is more for me then you could even think about,. Brian knowing what he learned from the others says, I've brought you hope,. The Q leader smiles at brian.... This is a surprise to Brian due to the fact since he's ever known him.. He's never seen him happy or in good spirits like this before,. He looks over to Xena and says to brian, You two are in Love with one another,. Brian not knowing what to tell him.. But Xena does,. Xena says, "Sir" We in deed are in love with one another,. He looks at Xena with skepticism and back to Brian and says, You know what the implications and risk are for that.. Don't you ?,. Brian says, I believe,.. I'm going to be asked to relinquish my Q hood and powers.. and made Human,. The Q leader says, Yes you will be asked for it.. But I'm not going to ask that of you,. Brian says, Then what do you want me to do,.. Surrender them voluntarily ?,. The Q leader says, Yes.. and the leader transports them to brian's house so they could talk one on one,. The Q leader smiles and says, It will only be fore a short wile brian... Not permanently,. Brian says, Ok I'll do it but not right away.. I have a few unsettled things left.. Like visiting mother and uncle among turning in my formal account of the events with Trelane,. The Q leader smiles and says, I can trust you... After all your supost to be the emissary of right and wrong.. And I believe you know whats best for the time been,. Brian says, Ok.. I'll be seeing you later on,. The Q high leader says, You don't have to rush things.. take your time.. Brian hands him a copy of the information that julian had given him about trelane's activities and the Q leader disappears,. Brian returns himself to Xena's home now,. Xena ask, Whats so secret ?,. Brian says, Oh.. it wasn't anything other then what I expected to hear from him,... He just doesn't feel comfortable talking business around humans or other mortals,. Xena says, Yeah as if I couldn't tell when he was here he didn't feel comfortable around me,. Brian says, In time he'll accept you and others,. Xena says, So I see why you've held back... All this time... Your going to be striped of your powers and like wise,. Brian says, Yes that's whats been holding me back all this time... Xena now you understand what the cost are going to be for me.... Now that I've openly acknowledged I'm courting you.. with serious intentions of marrying you,. Xena ask, I know there's more to it then that,. Brian says, Yes.. But I don't know the full details right now.. but it won't be permanent.. That much I do know,. Xena says, ok.. maybe they or he thinks you need to live as a human for a period of time to understand us better.. or maybe they don't know if a Q would actually and truly want to stay with a human female,. Brian says, Its that and other things... Xena if changes were to happen to rapidly.. with out giving us time to adjust to these new idea's... it could set lose chaos among us,. Xena says, But at one time didn't your Uncle Q want to court a Human Female ?,. Brian says, Yes he did.. but he wasn't serious like I am now... He only wanted that woman starship captain to carry a child for him.... He didn't want a continuing relation ship with her,. Xena says, he only wanted to use her... what a nice guy,. Brian says, Tell me about it,. Then Brian gets into one of his silly little moods and changes his and xena's attire to a Uniform Xena's somewhat farmilar with,. Brian's hyper and shouts,. ok now lets go out running around from house to house yelling Roust at anyone that's not like you and me,. This outfit that Xena finds herself in along with Brian almost infuriates her,. Both of them are in Gestapo outfits with the jack boots, Arm bands and all,. Xena decides to play along with him in a different way and says, I'll start with you first since your not like me or the others,. and she playfully wrestles brian to the floor... They both tumble over lamps and other furniture,. Xena rips off brian's arm band waving it around and shouts to him.. Sige Heil.. and starts ripping other things off of it too,. By the time she's done with him.. that outfit is almost torn to shreds,. Brian giggles at her and she giggles in return and starts ticking him,. Xena sweetly says, Oh.. my little Nazi lover is ticklish.... I'm going to torture you by tickling you to death,.. and I'll shout Sieg Heil as I'm doing it,.. She continues for a short wile then stops and gets serious and says, Ok I've had enough,... Get this piece of crap off of me and yourself now,. Brian still wanting to play says, No.. Make me,... Do it my dear mistress,.. and Giggles some more,. Xena jumps on top of him and says, I'm not playing anymore,.. I mean it,. Brian then clicks his fingers and both of them are in there normal attire now and he also takes care of the mess they made in the process of the horse play,. Brian says, I still have to get use to you wearing modern day clothing.. I'm so use to seeing you in your old attire,. Xena says, I'll tell ya what.. I put it on sometimes just to refresh your memory some other time,. Brian says, Yeah.. I've got to get used to the idea that we won't be able to horse around like this, Once my powers have been taking away... That's one thing I'll miss the most,. Xena says, Me too.. The mess we've both just made would have taken us both an hour or more to clean and straighten up,. Brian agrees with her and they both kiss,. Xena then says, just don't use them uniforms.. I know you were joking but if others like Gabrielle were to see that... They might see it another way,. Brian says, Yeah a joke for this... they represented another thing all together behind it,. Xena says, I know you didn't mean it in that way,. and they hug and kiss again,. Later on Brian returns to the continuum for what should be his last time for a long time yet to come,.. He's returned to his home,... His mother raps her arms around him and says, I thought I wouldn't ever see you here again,. Brian says, Me too mother...Believe me I didn't think I'd ever see home nor anyone here again,. Brian then informs his mother of his decision to court Xena and more then likely marry her in the future,. His mother hugs him and says.. I understand son.. I always thought she'd be in your future in a certain special way,... you have my blessings son,. Brian says, You do understand that I'm going to have to relinquish my Q hood and powers for my actions,. She says, Yes.. son I do fully understand the implications and consequences for you courting and bonding with a mortal or human,... I'll still come and visit you on that nice world you created for them... and your sister will probably visit even more often then I,... but I'm not mad with you nor her for that matter.. no matter what you'll always be my son.. with or with-out your Q hood and powers,. Callisto's overheard everything and says, Brian you mustn't go threw with that... Surely your the top Q by now... They wouldn't even think of coming after you,. Brian takes Callisto into his arms and says, Dear sister I'm vary proud of you,.. You toke over ware I left off.. they both sit down,. Brian takes callisto by the hand and says, This is what I want... and I know you can go on with out me,. A few tears come from her eyes and down her cheeks,. Brian takes a cloth and wipes them away and cratels her in his arms and says, Its ok.. Callisto says, You've just come back to me and yet its like your leaving me all over again... but this time your dooming yourself to a short human existence and life span,. Brian says, I'll still be around even if its for a short time,. Callisto says, But why ?... Why has almost everyone,.. I ever loved, either goes away or ends up dying in the end,. Brian softly says, My dear callisto.. Sister.. even you've always have realized this day would sometime come.. and I can no longer be at your side nor you at mine,. They both stand up and go out into the continuum,. They see Ares over in the distance and brian can tell that she still turns a cold shoulder to him. Brian ask, You still don't really care to see him.. even now,. Callisto says, I don't hate him nor really dislike him... but he never has apologized to me for his former behavior towards me, in the past,. Brian ask, Are you referring to when he use to prey on your weaknesses ?,. Callisto says, Yes.. and how he used to laugh at my families deaths to insight me into doing things,. Brian says, Maybe we can get him to reconcile with you,. Callisto ask, Why ?,. Brian says, Will it make both of you more comfortable around each other,. Callisto says, Yes,. Brian says, Ok lets go over to him,. Brian says, So Ares how do you like it here,. Ares says, Oh its not too bad.. I've learned allot here with in the last year... So I heard all about you and what happened.. So your now The Top Q,. Brian says, Well I did what had to be done,.. one way or the other... And I learned a few things about myself too,. Ares says, I could never understand why... You've done all of this.. Helping others... helping Xena and Callisto to forgive one another.. and yet you ended up taking it a few steps even further.. By doing what no one else here has done.. Ending your existence.. your life to save a mortal,... Only to have to come back and wined up killing your cousin to save more of them,... I don't Get it,. Callisto says, You see... what I mean... Were wasting our time with him,. Brian says, Sister... I don't think he understands,. Callisto says, Well maybe... Its because he never had a chance to see and know the reasons why,. Brian thinks it over and says, It could be vary well possible,... So he really doesn't understand what you were then,. Callisto says, No... He didn't and still doesn't,... All he knew about me was my dark side.. The side that drove me into doing terrible things like I did,... And I didn't realize it until way to late what I'd done to others,. Brian says, Sister I think its about time I showed him.. What I seen in you the first time we joined together.. and what both xena and gabrielle seen in you.. as you seen in them,. Callisto says, Ares.. He's going to want to join with you ?,. Ares says, what for.. whats there to know about what you were in the past,.. That I already don't know,. Callisto says, You mean you think you really knew me.. What I really felt like inside,. Ares says, Oh.. Come on.. He'll only play a trick on me,. Brian says, There are no games or tricks when I join with someone... Believe me.. I don't nor,... do we do something like that when we join in that manner,. Callisto can tell Ares is nervous about having his essents.. his soul and mind looked into by another and says, Ares don't be afraid.. I can tell that you are.. and don't try and hide that from me.. because I know better,. Ares says, How do you really know that,. Callisto says, Because I do.. and I know you won't admit to being afraid of something you don't or you never seen or understood before,. Ares says, Ok if it will make you feel better about me, being around here now.. I'll do it.. Not for you.. but for myself,. Callisto smiles because she knows he's going to take a big first step for the better in the long run,. Brian then extends his arms and hands so Ares can join with him,. Ares softly says to Brian, I am afraid,. Brian says, I know.. So was I at one time,. and Ares raises his arms and takes brians hands,. They both Share each others thoughts now.. for Ares first time.. He's showing someone things he's done to others,.. and every one of them is countered by something Brian had done to others in his past,. Ares found this strange why he wasn't call the Q of war if not Mayhem its self,... Ares even found it stranger too that unlike him always having some kind of objective to bring Xena back to him or to rake havoc for Hercules and others.. Brian's only objective was to have someone to laugh at or about... nothing more,. So unlike what he did,.. but yet they both did similar things to others for there own reasons,. Then they both start to see what brian had seen in Callisto for the first time.. a child left parentless.. one that was both physically and sexually abused later on.. and from callisto's point of view not the offenders,. Then they seen her pain and emptiness and how it lead her into what she was.. and then when she realized what she'd done to others all too late and had no guidance.. no mentor.. no one to turn to.. or turn her away.. only others wanting to use her for there own perverted objectives.. Like the Demon from Dahok,.. and others before that,...They were her guides that lead her onto doing or taking part of even worse things.. That only made her feel more horrible about herself then before,... nothing left but being totally lost in sorrow and emptiness,. Then they seen Xena's regrets and sorrows not only for her son's death but also for some of the cause of what Callisto had become,... and the lies that drove callisto even further.. That in fact it wasn't Xena who'd ordered her parents deaths.. but a betrayer among the people she was leading at the time,. Ares was almost trembling form the sensations of the emotions brian had experienced when joined with the three of them Xena... Gabrielle and Callisto for the vary first time.. Then he seen how they came to terms with one another.. in order to forgive one another.. Gabrielle having already done that long before they joined but mainly served as a force to balance things out so they wouldn't try and over come the other,... Ares tells brian in thoughts... and this is what they felt... Brian says, yes..and they go even further this time he sees the images of himself laughing at callisto when she was talking about her families deaths.. him,.. stating how he liked it when she talked like that,... That didn't make callisto feel better only worse not only about herself but over the fact he found her misfortune amusing at the time,. Ares says out loud I didn't know.. That I was really laughing at her misery,. Brian says, in thoughts.. I know you didn't but she didn't know that at the time,.. She believed you found her pain amusing,.... if not a joke,. Ares says, I know that now.. but not then,. Brian then shares more with him.. of what callisto is now.. a Warm.. and wanted.. and loved person.. and a person with feelings of warmth.. and love.. and wanting to see the better good for others now.. not the darkness that once hunted her soul in the past.. and the same for Xena also,. Ares has experienced intense emotions for the first time ever in his existence.. never before had he felt anything as intense as this was and he ask, What must I do.. for her to give me forgiveness for my part,. Brian says, Tell her your sorry and ask her to forgive you for your part in her past,. Ares says, But will she,... I mean look.. Xena nor hercules or anyone ever laughed about that had happened to her,. Brian says, she will... If any soul knows her better.. It would be me besides others in places higher then this continuum itself,. Ares is now wanting to know what happened when he threw himself into that state of abliss.. but Brian stops and says,.. There isn't a need for you to concern your self over my perdickerments.. were not here for me.. but for you and them now,. Ares returns the thoughts in thanks for sharing what I didn't know about persons, I had no idea of what they really felt,. Brian says, I'm glad to have been a help for you and her and others too,.. then he dissolves the joining,. Afterwards Ares has a few tears on his face from the intense feelings he just experienced and he looks over to Callisto now and says, Can you forgive me for laughing at your families deaths that only taunted you even more,. Callisto walks over to him now and wipes off the tears and softly says, Yes I can forgive you for laughing about me and my family in the past,. Ares softly says, I'm sorry.. I didn't know what I just found out,. Callisto says, I know you didn't understand it until now,. They both hug one another now,. Later on Brian and Callisto are alone,. Callisto says, So he isn't really was bad.. As I thought he was,. Brian says, No.. Not at all.. In fact he's allot like myself in many ways.. Except for his dreary attitude,. Callisto says, Hopefully.. Later on, I can help change that around with mine and his lover Discord's help,. Brian says, Hmm .. Well its possible look.. Two human Women turned me around for the better.. Maybe...The two of you can show him the light,. Callisto says, Yeah... Discord's always open to suggestions.. Even though she's like him,... she's always willing to try something,. Brian agrees with her,. and gets up and says, Well its time for me to see the High Q leader now.. and more then likely this is going to be my last day as a member of this place in existence,. Callisto and Brian walk together holding hands,. Callisto says, are you sure I can't get you to change your mind ?,. Brian says, No.. This is something I've got to go threw with.. I don't know how to explain it.. but I'm in love with a human "Xena" of all people in the universe,. Callisto says, Love knows no boundaries... that much I do know,. Brian says, Callisto... Sister.. I know your going to go on fine now with out me... You must have faith with in yourself.. You did it all the time I was gone,... I know now you can do it,. Callisto says, I just wish you could be with me... more longer,. Brian says, I know sister.. sometimes there isn't enough time no matter what,.... Ever since I've had feelings for Xena... I meant and intended for you to replace me,. Callisto says, I could never replace you... No matter what.. I can only succeed you,. They both hug again and then someone walks up.. Its Discord who ask, What did you do to Ares.. He's a little shaken up,. Brian says, I only showed him the truth about others, He had mistaken in the past,. Discord says, I don't understand what you've done,. But she catches on that Callisto's not in the best of spirits right now and starts to walk away,. Brian says, Wait,... Do you want to know ?,. Discord says, Yes.. I'd like to experience what he did.. or something like it,. Brian says, Ok wait for us to extend an arm to you,. Callisto says, You want to join with me,. Brian says, Yeah.. Why not.. one last run.. sister,. Callisto smiles and they join,. Discord is amazed over the facial expressions both of them are making from what ever both of them are sharing and experiencing from the other,. Then both of them extend out an arm each to her,. Discord been a little nervous since she nor the other former Gods are Q's yet.. Doesn't know what to expect,. But she takes both hands into hers... out of curiosity and wanting to know what Ares experienced,. Discord says in thoughts.. Wow.. I've never felt anything like this before.. nor have looked into others nor had others look into me .. like this,. Callisto starts sharing her essents with discord and brian does like wise and some of what he shared with Ares and Discord does the same now,. Brian in thoughts says to them,.. Oh.. She's devious little sweet thing... Now,.. I see what Ares see's in her.. and yet she can be such a little darling at the same time too,. Discord in thoughts says, Oh.. so now you know the real me,. Callisto says, Over all your not really that bad of a person.. Just slightly demented.. But all in fun.. or no for fun,. Brian says, No.. She really wasn't... She only followed in Ares footsteps for the glory of it... nothing more,. Discord says, and now I understand the two of you as you do me.. and even some of what ares seen earlier today,. Brian says, As you can tell there are no lies or tricks here.. this is the real us.. in non corporeal essents and communication.. not as difficult to explain things.. is it ?,. Discord says, Yeah.. its more enjoyable and you can tell this is more sincere then just talking to one another by voice and language,... I'd like to do this more often with the two of you ?,. Brian says, I may not be possible for me to do this with you again.. this is the last day for me as a member of this continuum,. and he explains it to her,. Discord says, Your giving it all up for Xena.. but being joined with you, I can see your reasons why.. I can almost see everything you want me to see with in yourself now,. Brian says, and its like wise for us all of us joined.. and Brian and Callisto terminate this joining,. Discord says, I'm going to have to learn how to do that one day after I'm made a member and given powers like the two of you have,. Brian says, You will.. one day,... You won't regret it either,. and the three of them go to the High leaders chambers now and enter them,. The Leader comes to him and ask, Brian of Q.. have you made and reached a decision ?,. Brian says, Yes I have "Sir".. and I'm definitely in love with a human as she's in love with me.. and were both marriage minded,. The Leader says, and your aware of what the consciences are,. Brian says, Yes.. I vary much am.. "Sir",... I'm asking you to strip me of my Q powers and all the privileges that come from them,. The Leader says, Vary well.. I'll do it then,. and the leader extends both of his arms and hands and puts them on brians upper chest and slowly starts remove brian of his powers and Q Hood,. Both Callisto and Discord were surprised.. Since they always heard it was painful to experience something like this,.. But they didn't see this from Brian,. and then a slow flash happens and Brian takes a deep breath and says, Oh.. I almost forgot what it felt like to be human,.. or close to being one,. The Leader says, You are a human now.. and mortal also.. last time you were just discharged and were part mortal and human.. this time its 95% or close to it,... Farewell my former Q and may The Grate one guide you down your path with peace and harmony,. and he leaves,. Afterwards Discord ask, It didn't hurt... or did it ?,. Brian says, No.. not really, It didn't wrench them out of me, He more or less eased my Q hood away,. Discord says, I've only seen what Zeus did to others in the past and they always let out a yelp when he striped someone of there God Hood / Olympian Hood,. Brian says, hmm.. I think its because I wasn't being striped for misconduct.. but rather I more or less voluntarily relinquished them away,. Discord says, All so you can marry Xena... A human,.. but I can understand that... Love seems to have no boundaries for some,... Its kind funny.. as intelligent as the people i've seen so far since coming here.. yet they can be so close minded if not introverted about others... outside of here,. Brian says, I know.. I was like that long before we met too,... What it is.. They've become so advanced with knowledge ... We've more or less overloaded and burned out... Lost interest all together,. Callisto says, Yes.. When I first came here.. They looked down on me, since I was less then them,... Brian I still remember how you had to preswade them to help me... They really weren't interested,... but you convinced them too anyways,. Brian says, I know,... My dear sister.. I still remember,.. them days,... In time that could or may one day change again.. and this place will be booming and exciting place again.. like it once used to me... Rather then a place of dual and bore,. Discord says, Yeah.. This place still has allot of potential,... To do more then others did in the past,...But Its still interesting learning what I've learned so far,. Brian says, You'll do fine.. Believe me,... You'll become a part of it all one day,... and you'll be glad you came here,. They hug and then Brian says, to Callisto,. Return me back to centaurs.. My new home for now on,. Callisto says, I'm going to come along with you for a wile,. Brian says, I have no objections sister,. The Discord says, Well I'm not a member nor a Q yet but would either of you mind if I ask if I could tag along ?,. Brian says, I don't have any real say in those matters anymore.. but I don't mind,. Now looking over to his sister Callisto who says, No.. I don't either,... and she transports them to Centaurs,. They arrive and Brian heads for Xena's home,. Callisto shows Discord around this new world of the Centaurs and the Golden Hinds,. Brian Rings Xena's door chime and she says, come in,. Brian enters,. Xena says, How did it go,. Brian says, Well I'm one of you now.. I guess,... No more popping in and out of places for me,. Xena says, All of them,. Brian says, Well I don't know,.. All that I know is I can't transport nor do anything at will anymore,. Xena says, So what does it feel like to you,. Brian says, I feel fine.. just got to get used to the idea I have to really sleep and Eat now.. and when or if I get sick its not a click of the fingers any more to fix things,... and ahh.. Yes the physical Emotions... I can feel them... All right,. Xena ask, Is there really that much difference between us,. Brian says, Yes Us or I should say the Q's do feel them but not in a,... or as contained in a physical body.. We love,.. we get sad.. become Angary.. and what ever else, They just aren't felt the same was as what you feel them in a physical human body,. Xena says, How do you feel now about yourself,. Brian says, Well I feel kinda small in comparison to the world or the universe its self.. but over all it isn't that bad.. in fact I feel better already about this Idea.. This choice I made,. Xena says, You'll get use to it... and you'll settle in.. sooner or later,. and they both Kiss,. Xena goes wow... I could still sense you almost like that joining of yours,. Brian says, yeah when we wrapped our arms around each other I could start sensing you and your presents,. Xena says, What does it mean ?,. Brian says, I think I've got some kind of telepathic abilities.. I'm not certain at this time.. but that's close as I can describe it,. Xena says, So your not completely cut out.. from what I'm feeling or who ever you want to come in contact with,. Brian says, Well the High Q leader didn't exactly say that I was 100% human either,. Xena says, Well maybe that's part of that small percent of what remains with in you from the continuum,. Brian says, that maybe so.. I'll have to learn there extent,. Xena says, Well its nice to have you either way.. human and some part of you that remains of Q,... I'm in love with you not your powers,. Brian says, I know..anyways.. Hows Solen doing?,. Xena says, He's more and more becoming his old self again,. Brian says, That good news to hear... I haven't even had much of a chance since I've come back here to go over this with him.. with that ship from the other universe and the crew and plus other things going on.. I couldn't get to him.. but tonight I promise I will,... just to make sure he's fine,. Xena says, I believe he's coming to .. If you think its necessary I'm all behind you now,. Brian says, I just want to make sure he understands he isn't a Killer or murderer.. but someone who didn't have a choice in that matter,. Xena says, I've already explained that to him.. Its was either him.. or watch all of us be killed by Trelane,. Brian agrees. Later On after dinner brian and solen have gone over the events over the last few days.. and Solen now fully understands he was in the right over Trelanes destruction,. Solen says, So your going to be what's called my Step father sometime in the future after you and my mother have been married,. Brian says, That's right son... Even if your not related by blood... I'll treat you as my own,. Solen says, You already do that.. but is it going to change how you treat me later on,. Brian says, no.. not at all,. Solen says, Good... I was hopping you wouldn't change how you treat me because your marrying my mother,. Brian says, Now if your doing something you aren't supost to be doing... You'll hear from me just as if I were your Dad telling you... That you did something wrong,. Solen says, I don't have any trouble with that,. and they both head off to play a computer video games,. Later on that night Discord and Callisto have returned to the Continuum,. Brian and Xena are in her Back Yard with a camp fire going for old times sake,. Xena says, Me and you are going to be competing for my sons attention... over which one of us he's going to like the most,. Brian says, hmm .. are you trying to tell me your jealous of me and Solens relationship,. Xena says, Yes I am.. sort of,. Brian says, How ?,. Xena says, You've brought him from and to places I could never take him to... and did things together that I couldn't do,... and to top it all off you had awesome god like powers.. that I didn't.. As I see it.. He favors you over me.. His own blood mother,. Brian says, Oh.. you think I'm not going to make him tow the line.. and just sit back and let him walk all over you.. like your nothing,.. No.. We talked about that earlier.. I've already told him.. when he does something wrong in the future from now on.. He's going to hear from me as if I were really his father.. So.. Don't think I'm going to let him use me to counter mand you,. Xena says, So Can I take it that we have a mutual understanding.. As far as Solen go's,... I'm in charge.. not you,. Brian says, Yes.. I can accept them terms.. They seem reasonable to me,. Xena smiles and says, for a short time I was kind of on both the concerned side but also slightly envious of how he has always looked up to you.. and more or less stared me down as his annoyance.. since I've always tried to do my best and see that he does his best too,. Brian says, I've joined with you more then enough times to know that... about you in them regards.. honey,. Xena says, But sometimes I'm still uncertain ware you stand.. on some things,. Brian says, I know.... all about your motherly instincts.. in regards of your son.. and your concern wasn't unwarranted either,. Xena says, I just had to get it off my chest.. and off my mind,... thats all,. Then Gabrielle and Perdicas comes up and ask if they can join them,. Brian says, of course you two shouldn't even have to ask us that question,. Gabrielle says, But We didn't want to be budding in on you and Xena's Business,. Xena says, its alright go in grab some blankets and pillows and join us,. Gabrielle does that but Solen also comes out and joins them also,. They sing a few camp fire songs and then they are all staring off into the constellation and Brian is telling them the names of the stars and the worlds and solar systems they represent,. Xena brian and solen all snuggle together gabrielle and Perdicas are doing the same and they all soon fall to sleep for the night,. [ The End ] Written thought up and made up by: R.
