Opening Scene:The scene is the Sedona Museum, and standing in front of a prized artifact is Dr. Alonzo Jemez and Dr. Jamie Williams. They set the artifact in an encased display. "We were fortunate to get this on loan." Dr. Williams says.
Dr. Jemez looks at the artifact seriously and says, "Yes, we are, but hopefully, it's legend is only that, a legend."
"Why's that?" Dr. Williams says, intrigued.
"Legend has that if the Fénix de Los dioses antiguos or Phoenix of the Ancient Gods gets into the wrong hands, the resurrection of various Gods may happen." Dr. Jemez says seriously. "Luckily, nobody in this known world is capable enough to know this legend and follow through with it." They secure the display, and Dr. Williams sets an alarm code locking the display.
"What would happen if certain Gods are resurrected?" she says.
" The world, as we know it changes." Dr. Jemez says cautiously. They shut off the light and leave the room. Suddenly Ares appears and stairs at the artifact with a grin on his face, "I think it's about time for a family reunion!" he says, then disappears into nothing.
Chapter 1: Interrogation And The Truth
It's a cold evening in Sedona. Xena and Gabrielle walk out of the movie theater with disappointing looks on their faces. "I hate how they did that movie." Xena says, "It wasn't even an honest version about how Rome was!"
"I know, sorry I dragged you to it." Gabrielle says, "They got Cesar all wrong!"
"Do you know how much I wanted to stand up and say that's not how it went." Xena says, "And the way they portrayed Cleopatra!"
"I know, I know!" Gabrielle says, "Next time we'll go to the action movie you wanted to see."
Xena and Gabrielle walk towards a bar, and all of a sudden, Lester is being tossed out of it. Xena and Gabrielle look at him as he stands up, "I didn't know she was your girlfriend!" Lester yells, "She wasn't even that hot!"
Lester looks to his side and sees Xena and Gabrielle, who is smirking at him. "Hi, ladies!" Lester says. "How was the movie?"
"Not what we thought." Gabrielle says, "I see you're having an interesting evening!"
Lester looks at them, realizing they seen him getting tossed out of the bar. "Let me guess, you seen a girl, tried to hit on her, and her boyfriend got pissed and had you tossed out!" Xena says, smiling.
"Well, I tried to explain that it was a misunderstanding, but I guess the guy didn't believe me or something." Lester says. "He was just angry!" Xena and Gabrielle shake their heads and giggle a bit. "So, where are you two going now?"
"Home." Xena says, "Did you get that e-mail with the sketches of the garage that we want to be built next to the cabin?"
"Oh yeah!" Lester says, "Getting sick of pulling the bike inside every night?"
"Something like that." Xena says. "And we are thinking about expanding the kitchen also."
"Well, I think I have time this weekend to start the garage." Lester says as a couple of women walk past him and catches his eye, "Well, ladies, I'm off!" Lester walks away while Xena and Gabrielle start to laugh.
"Come on, let's go home." Xena says. They start walking down the sidewalk holding hands when they walk past an alley. Xena glances down it and sees a couple of muggers pointing guns at a scared couple. They stop and watch.
"Just give me your wallets, and you won't get hurt!" One of the muggers says.
Xena pulls her leather jacket to the side to reveal the Chakram. "Go around the other side and we'll corner them." Xena says. Gabrielle runs around the building, and Xena takes the Chakram out of her hilt. She looks around, scanning the area for a good throw. She throws the Chakram, and it bounces off the side of the building and flies towards the muggers knocking the guns out of their hands.
