Rob Tapert has a brainstorm for promoting Lucy's singing career, and to the delight of Xena fans everywhere a Season 7 of the Warrior Princess is announced. Yes!!! Twenty-six new episodes, all musicals! A huge influx of musical talent hits New Zealand, spearheaded by thousands of women auditioning to do voice over songs for Renee O'Connor. Ass-kicking fights accompanied by ass-kicking rock songs garner huge ratings, platinum CD sales and world-wide clamor for live tours. Gabrielle is adorned with another new outfit, lots of leather and metal and a streak in her hair, and instead of sais she whips metal drumsticks from her boots to beat the evil ones. Xena screams a new slogan into the airwaves... Battle On and Rock Out!!!
Xena and Gabrielle are passing through Guitaropoly and find the town in an uproar because Stephen Tyler has quit the local legendary band Aerosmith. The town is desperately auditioning for new lead singers, but Xena seizes the chance and announces to the town she's taking over, and Aerosmith will be the core of her new musical army. The town and remaining band members object so Xena and Gabrielle kick their butts until they grudgingly relent.
Xena lets her triumphant joy hit the air with "Sweet Emotion." When the town begs Gabrielle to tell how she and Xena met, Gabrielle does her Bard thing concluding with a flash pot filled version of "Walk This Way" which has been re-written as "She taught to me to 'Fight This Way.'"
The straight v. subtext crowd gets plenty of fodder in the lastest bathtub incarnation. An innuendo-filled plenty-of-flesh showing version of "Love in a Elevator" retitled as "Soap in a Hot Bath", with both women giving slinky renditions of the line "living it up while I'm going down."
Gabrielle's insecurity rears from her lack of musical talent, fearing she's going to be left behind as Xena tours Greece with her new act. She re-invents her look, dark red leather with plenty of black metal trim, and a blood crimson streak through her hair. Metal drumsticks replace the sais and a chakram/tambourine on her belt accessorizes her new look. Tentatively she reveals her new garb to the Warrior Princess, asking if she finds it appealing. Xena concludes the episode with a tender heart felt version of "You're My Angel."
Xena and Gabrielle head into the Adriatic Sea for a vacation break on the beautiful island of Bopmonia that is now under Roman control. Joxer has made good for himself by reuniting with his brother Jace and providing entertainment for the resort crowd with his nightclub hotspot The Love Shack. Instead of rest our heroes are drawn into strife as local warlord Ballista has taken over the club, and she makes the local musical stars Beta-LIIs work for nothing to increase profits. This is a light hearted comedy episode, with two running gags. Everytime a new character meets the B-LIIs they ask, "What's with the hairdos?" More humor is provided by Hudson Leick portraying the local warlord and she can't understand why everyone confuses her with some evil bitch named Callisto. She keeps screaming "it's BAH-List-AH you dumb ass!" at everyone and tries to explain she dubbed herself that name because of her proclivity of going ballistic. The jokes on her though because in Ancient Greece no one knows what ballistic means anyway.
Xena and Gabrielle sizzle in their topless sunbathing scene on the beach, punctuated by Joxer peering at Gabrielle's breast and asking "Is that a hickey?"
The episode concludes with our heroes setting Ballista adrift into the sea in a dingy and telling her to "Roam around the world." The entire resort celebrates at Joxer and Jace's nightclub with a bopping, bouncing, sweat-filled rendition of "Love Shack."
Tapert and Raimi fear reaction about a musical episode that includes only two songs, "Love Shack" and "Roam", each sung 3 times during the show. Happily the critics and viewing audience concur those are the only two songs they like from the B52s anyway.
Who remembers how to play this game??? Follow the theme... Rock Star...stay in alphabetical order please. Get as detailed as you want, or if you only have a name you want to put in, that's ok and let others supply some detail.

Xena and Gabrielle and Joxer journey to Brittania once again. Upon arrival a young lad named Daniel tells of a land further west called Eire where a crazy blonde female warlord has been terrorizing the Emerald Isle. Sure enough Callisto has been on tour with her psycho Barbie act.
They arrive to find Callisto explaining to a recently ravaged village that she's been awash with evil ever since Xena burned her family alive. Callisto sings "Ode to My Family," creening that
"my mother, my mother, she held me when I was back there
my father, my father, he liked me
they loved me, but does anyone care?"
"My happiness was when I was young
and we didn't have a care
cause I was raised to see life as fun
and to live it best we can
but my mother, my father were torched by Xena
they loved me, but she didn't care!"
Callisto's tale of woe garners little sympathy from the hamlet of people who have suffered the same fate. A local band of musicians called Cranberry Saw Us beg Xena and Gabrielle to help, they sing "Linger" in hopes our heroes will remain to help. Xena agrees if they'll change the band's name because she tired of hearing them having to explain to everyone it's a play on words for "cranberry sauce." After tremendous bickering the group agrees to become the Cranberries.
Joxer makes shamrock stew which is adored by everyone. He claims he put a lucky charm in it that makes it magically delicious. It's magic turns to mayhem for everyone by creating great gastric distress, causing a stampede for the bushes. The Xena Rock Star Army suffers so many snakebites from squatting in the weeds it prompts Xena to comment "If some mean bastard could drive these snakes off this island they'd probably make him a saint."
Xena notices Gabrielle seems to be sagging a lot and asks what's up with her bustline.
Gabrielle answers "When in Rome..., right? I'm following local tradition."
"Which tradition might that be?" asks Xena.
"Erin Go Braughless!" says Gabrielle.
"I don't think you've got that quite right," Xena comments, peeking down her top, "but leave it for now."
The Xena musical entourage once again vanquishes Callisto, and the locals began planning a bright future. The Cranberries sing "Dream" to lift hope and spirits. Young lad Daniel wants to go kiss a blessed stone for good fortune. Gabrielle was to go but Xena whispers "It sounds like blarney to me, let's go for a walk."
"O Danny boy," Xena says, "we'll skip the stone for now."
She turns to Gabrielle.
"Hey Bard... how's that for a line? 'I'll skip the stone for now.' Kind of a play on words there."
Our heroes watch a romantic sunset over the ocean, high on a green grassy bluff.
"I love you, Gabrielle."
"I love you, Xena."
The camera pans up from their profile towards sun and sky and ocean, and the credits roll.
Joxer finds Xena and Gabrielle camping on a peaceful beach covered with black sand. Instead of his usual brown "helmet" he is sporting a shiny red hat.
"What's with the new head gear?" asks Gabrielle.
"It's a beautiful world we live in. A sweet romantic place. Beautiful people everywhere. The way they comb their hair makes me want to say. It's a beautiful world," replies Joxer.
"Yeah, makes about as much sense as that hat," Xena snorts.
"No, guys, listen. It's the latest thing in Greece. And one day people will even turn these things upside down and try to grow plants in them," Joxer pleads.
"When that happens I'm going to go on the road and start a singing career," says Xena. "You know, Greece, Chicagorea, Londonderry, New Yorkville."
"Sounds like a plan," coos Gabrielle, giddy at the thought of dancing with Xena onstage.
"Just as long as you don't try to sing," Xena warns her.

As the Xena Rock Star Army moves through Greece Xena receives a message that there is turmoil in the night, as frightening evil dreams are plaguing the citizenry. Something's amiss with Morpheus, and our heroes decide to help.
Slumber everywhere has been disturbed because Morpheus has given up caffeine, nicotine, and fatty foods. The dude is so cranky everyone is forced to feel his pain. Xena tries to get him to loosen up his lifestyle but when he resists Xena decides to just kick his butt. Gabrielle steps in to convince Xena that there must be a non-violent way to change his mind. Gabrielle seeks help from a local healer named Annie Lennox who bakes a special nutbread for Morpheus and sings "Sweet Dreams Are Made of This."
As X & G rush off with the healing goodies Annie can't help notice that Gabrielle is just soooooooo smoking hot in her new red leather and she commemorates their meeting with the song "Who's That Girl?"
The potion-filled nutbread has it's soothing effect, Morpheus becomes dreamily serene while listening to Xena sing to him backed up by the Xena Rock Star Army. Once again Ancient Greece can slumber blissfully.
Annie L is left alone as the XRSA moves on and a sad longing for her new friend makes her see the dark cloud rather than the silver lining, and she concludes the episode with "Here Comes the Rain Again."

The Xena Rock Star Army pulls into Amphipolis to say hello to Cyrene. Cyrene doesn't recognize Gabrielle in her new outfit and hairdo, and asks "Who's the new butch? I never understood how you put up with the other one anyway."
"Knock it off, Mom," says Xena. "That's Gabrielle and you know it. And just so you know, I really dig the new red leather."
"Well how often are you going to buy her new clothes while you're stuck with the same old outfit?" asks Cyrene. "You should do a little something for yourself once in a while. You'd better since she doesn't do much for you."
"Cyrene, she likes what I do," snaps Gabrielle. "And no matter what I'm wearing, Xena says it always 'Feels Like The First Time.'"
The happy though somewhat snippy reunion turns critical when Xena is suddenly stricken with an unknown illness. Gabrielle runs to fetch the town's healer, only to find he's been replaced by a group consortium from Brittania. They have been dubbed Foreigner by the townsfolk.
Gabrielle describes Xena's symptoms and sings that is "Urgent!" The healers rush to Xena's side, and after examining her pronounce her "Cold As Ice" and call for furs and blankets. Gabrielle is wrapping Xena up and asks her if she feels cold inside. Xena pulls Gabrielle close and says "I'm HotBlooded, check it and see." She plants a long lingering wet kiss on Gabrielle but faints from the exertion.
Gabrielle is panic stricken Xena may die and tells her how much she needs her, how her life was empty and boring until she walked with the Warrior Princess. She sings "I've Been Waiting for a Girl Like You" while cradling Xena in her arms.
Cyrene and the Foreigner healers return with a special concoction of henbane, nutbread, radish stew and fisted fish that seems to help revive Xena. She complains of "Double Vision" but otherwise seems ok. The Xena Rock Army celebrates with a gritty, thunderous version of Dirty White Boy which has been re-written as "Sturdy Greek Girrl."
Later as our duo sits closely together by the campfire, Joxer points to Xena's neck. "Is that a hickey?"
Xena punches him in the face and knocks him out. Gabrielle leans in close and peers at Xena's neck. "Xena, there is a mark there. It looks as if you were hit by a poisoned dart."
"Don't be silly. Go to sleep, Gabrielle." Xena rubs her neck and scans the dark forest around them, dramatic music plays and the credits roll.

Warrior...Princess...Gloria Estefan
Jace and Joxer have booked a Spanish chanteuse to sing at their new night club. Business is booming until one night Draco and his henchmen show up and trash the joint in a night of drunken revelry. Xena and Gabrielle are sent for to get rid of Draco. Gloria and Xena hit it off, especially when Gloria discovers Xena once had a thing for Draco. They sing "Bad, Bad Boys Make Me Feel So Good." The two hit it off a bit too well for Gabrielle's taste, and she sings her concerns that Xena may have too strong an interest with "I Don't Want To Lose You Now."
Draco sees Gabrielle and sings "Steal Your Heart," vowing to win Gabrielle's love. Gabrielle uses the spell Draco's under to lure him into the woods where Xena captures him and sends him off to jail. The town celebrates with the entire cast singing "Conga" until the dawn. The town loves the dance and Jace comments "You tink dis is someting? Dis is how we dance before breakfast where I come from."
The final scene shows Xena and Gabrielle watching the sun rise, and Gabrielle admits she was jealous of Gloria, and feared losing Xena. They sit in silence, watching the sky lighten, Xena stroking Gabrielle's hair.
"I love you, you know," says Xena. "I'm not going anywhere without you."
Gabrielle shrugs and smiles weakly, "Every hero needs a sidekick I suppose."
Xena turns G's face towards her own and the blue eyes gaze intently on the green eyes and in a calm, even, resolute voice Xena says, "I don't love you like a sidekick. I love your heart, your spirit, the way you write, I love you as my greatest friend, as my soul mate."
Gabrielle tears up at the intense sincerity of the Warrior Princess. Xena holds her hand and sings "Con Los Anos Que Me Quedan," which means "With the Years I Have Left."
The credits roll.

Xena...Warrior...Hannah Montana
"Uh no...Dahok's Destroyers...more of them...more offspring of Hope...must find...must, KILL 'EM ALL!" Xena screamed.
Gabrielle turned in her sleep to her friend. "Xena?"
It was another vision, the warrior explained. Worse than the ones before. But not to worry now, soon it'd be morning and yummy blueberry muffins awaited in the next town.
The next day- "Xena look! It's Lila, Tara, Americe, that blonde haired Horde chick, Joxer... they're all heading towards town. Looking so strange with a glazed expression, of course that's normal for Joxer, but..."
"Ah well, maybe they want blueberry muffins too. Yum Yum", Xena said in delight. Then: "Is that music I hear up ahead?"
Gabby perked an ear up. "That's no music. It sounds like that awful Greece Idol stuff we ran into in Athens, or Boobney Spears- that failed amazon diva wanna-be. Xena- it's where Lila and the others are headed. Look! There's thousands of them!"
Indeed there were. Thousands of mind-numbed Greeks were huddled around the Hannah Montana stage in the field. Throwing dinars away for Hannah Montana merchandise. Oh the shame!
As "Pumpin' Up The Party" was being "sung" by Hannah and her flock, Xena sneered- evily. She knew Hannah must be an offspring of Hope, a Destoyer- destroying people's mind with her brand of brain cell destroying psuedo-bubblegum "music". Before Gabby could stop her, she took her chakram and flung it at Hannah's head.
"Xena!" cried Gabby. "S-she's just a girl! No matter how bad she sings, you can't kill her!"
The chakram only knocked off Hannah's wig, revealing a frightened girl who now approached X&G.
"M-My name is Miley. I'm so s-sorry for the terrible ruckus. I-It wasn't my idea. It was my papa's. His name is-"
"-Dahok. Yes I know" said Xena.
"Dahok? No, my dad is Billy Ray Cyrus. He's-"
Now it was Gabby who snarled. "-I know who he is. Worse than Dahak! Xena, Billy Ray Cyrus sang "Achy Breaky Heart"!"
Xena snarled, "We'll find him. Him and his band. We'll KILL 'EM ALL! KILL 'EM ALL! KILL 'EM ALL! KILL 'EM ALL! KILL 'EM ALL! KILL 'EM A-"
Gabby shook Xena, "Xena! Wake up! You're having a nightmare. I told you not to eat so many blueberry muffins! But did you listen? NoooOOOoooo not Miss Warrior Princess. You think you have so many skills including an iron stomach. Um, who's Hannah Montana? Are you cheatin' on me?"
"No Gabrielle, go back to sleep. Thank the gods it was only a nightmare...I hope."

Warrior...Princess...Isaac Hayes
An animated Xena episode located in South Park!!!
Cartman and Kyle are arguing.
"Wonder Woman or Seven of Nine could kick Xena's ass easily. Xena has no special powers. She's just tits in brass armor," says Cartman.
"Shut up, Cartman," retorts Kyle. "Xena fights for good and whips everyone's butt."
"Oh lick my balls, Kyle," Cartman replies.
Joxer approaches. "I told Xena what you said, Cartman, let's see what happens when the Warrior Princess arrives."
From off screen we hear, "Aiy.yiy..yiy.yiy.yiy.yiy!!!" and Xena somersaults into the scene and lands on Cartman. Standing on his chest she says, "Look in those old comic books fat kid, and you'll see Wonder Woman was tied up, handcuffed, hung by the wrists and sat on in every issue. She was nothing but a bondage freak lookin' to get spanked. I do all the spankin', don't I Gabrielle?"
"By the gods, she does," says Gabrielle, "And if Seven of Nine butted in Xena would dunk her in a hot bath and hold her down till she short circuited or rusted out. Then she'd make Seven eat it."
They all look wide eyed at Gabrielle.
"The soap! Xena would wash her mouth with soap!" Gabrielle says.
"What's going on here, children? What's all this violence?" quizzes Chef, voiced over by Isaac Hayes.
"Cartman's picking a fight with Xena, who's mashing him like a grape. The rest of us just want to make sweet love to her like you say we should, Chef," explains Kyle. "But the butchy one with the fishing rod looks possessive about her Princess."
"Children... that's not a fishing rod. It's an ancient honored weapon, wielded by some of history's greatest warriors. When swung properly it will school you like a project bitch," says Chef. "Ask the butchy one to give you a demonstration."
The highhat cymbal starts, the bass lick rumbles, the wah wah guitar gets funky and Gabrielle begans to show what a staff can do, as the Theme From Shaft plays and Chef sings:
"What's the long hardened stick
That's a whup machine swung by a chick?
Ya damn right!
What is the stick that will break the neck
of any evil man?
Can you dig it?
What weapon won't cop out
When there's danger all about?
Right On!
They say this damn Staff is a bad mother...
I'm talkin's 'bout Staff.
Not a complicated plan
Just a whuppin' stick wielded by a hot woman
Unfortunately, as Gabrielle tries to end with a flourish the staff slips from her hand and whacks Joxer, decapitating him. The kids shout, "They killed Joxer!!! You bastards!!"
Xena nuzzles Gabrielle. "Hey butchy one, you look smokin' hot with your whup ass stick. Let's get out of here."
The theme from "Staff" replays as X & G head into the crudely drawn sunset.

The Xena Rock Star Army heads to the land of the Amazons to visit old friends. Ephiny, Amarice, and Yakut are happy to have visitors. They introduce Jewel, a new member of the tribe. Xena asked how she ended up with the Amazons, and Jewel sings "Down So Long," describing how treatment by men and a life of thankless work almost made her give up living. In one last moment of desperation she ran off to the Amazons.
A big feast is being prepared and during a moment alone with her Bard Xena sings "You & Me = Love." During evening prayers Jewel reveals she's lived in a Roman world and sings "Jupiter" while the Amazons pray to Artemis. As the moon rises the tribe settles around the fire and Queen Ephiny speaks to them, imploring them to shake off the shackles of old ideas and to embrace their strength and courage to walk the path of the Amazon. Ephiny sings "Life Uncommon," the Amazon version of course.
"Lend your voices only to sounds of freedom
No longer lend your strength to the men you wish to be free from
Fill your lives with love and bravery
and you shall lead the Life Uncommon.
I've heard your anguish, I've heard your hearts cry out
You are tired, you are weary, but you aren't worn out
Arrive with your pain, with Amazons remain, we'll break that chain
Fill your lives with love and bravery
and you shall lead the Life Uncommon.
There are plenty of people who pray for peace
but if praying were enough women would be free
Amazons enslave no one and courageous always be
Hear our voices ring out clear with sounds of freedom
Fill your lives with love and bravery
and you will lead the Life Uncommon."
Xena is starving and jumps into the song with an aside to Gabrielle, "How 'bout we fill our lives with steak and gravy? That would be a Meal Uncommon."
Everyone is inspired by Queen Ephiny's exhortation to live strong, be courageous, and to care for one another. When she asks them, "Are you up for it? Can you walk this path? When a sister needs encouragement what do you tell her?"
The episode ends with a full cast chorus rocking upbeat rendition of "Yes U Can!"
"Say hello 2 the tribe where hope is soarin'
Where despair gets beat 'cause hearts are roarin'
Where the word is 'courage' 'cuz we're sayin'
Yes U Can! Yes U Can! Yes U Can!"
C'mon all, don't be shy... perhaps there's a Scroller who's a big KT fan? who's got a K???

i really enjoyed your take on the "Shaft" song, Brian!
Rahl, Ardra and Cervik call in X&G to rescue their daughter Vanessa/Pilee who has run-off to become a Kiss groupie.
"It must be the resemblence between the Kiss make-up and the Horde's", quips Gabrielle, as she starts to sing "Strutter".
Rahl believes Kiss stands for Kids In Satan's Service. But as they near the concert by the river, X&G learn that Kiss stands for Kids In Salmoneus' Service. Pilee isn't a groupie- no- she's worse- she's a street teamer!
"B-b-but Xena!" pleads Salmoneus. "It's all legal & fun! Kiss is a classic rock band that needs that push by youngsters to stay in the public eye. Where would you be if Gabby didn't have her scrolls and go on-line to all sorts of forums pushing your stories, hmmmm?"
"Well ya gotta point there, Sal." replied the warrior P. "You might have some of these kids wear Horde make-up to make sure the Horde don't sue for trademark infringement. Besides, it was Gene Simmons who taught me how to do those fire breathing stunts back when me & my pal Beth caught them in concert in Amphipolis."
X&G head back to tell Pilee's folks that she's okay, but Gabby is steamed along the way. She discovers that the song "Beth" was written about Xena's old gal-friend from Xena's point of view.
Once away on their own, camping at nite. Xena hopes to make things up with Gabby.
"Look what I got from Gene" She takes the artifact from the saddlebag.
"By the Gods, Xena! It's a rubber duplciate of Gene Simmons's extra long tongue! What a odd toy. What are you going to do with tha-"

Xena...Warrior...Led Zeppelin
Xena approached her camp. She saw a long brown haired beauty playing bluegrass on a fiddle while Gabby danced a hoedown. Gotta teach that girl some musical taste, thought Xena disgustingly.
"Xena, this is Alison Krauss. Her musical partner, Robert Plant, has been kidnapped by former band mates of Led Zeppelin. We have to get him back. Okaysy waysy?"
Though Xena was a sucker for Gabby's baby talk- and who wouldn't be?- she had to draw a line.
"Yeah well Led Zep are the only Britannia rock gods I ever came close to worshippin' & bluegas makes my stomach fizz," replied the warrior P.
X&G started arguing about music & rock gods. Alison piped in: "Gals, ya'll can argue later. We gotta be burnin' daylight & get Robby back cuz ah got a gig in Atlantapholis tomorrow."
Xena reluctantly agreed to get "Robby" back for the southern belle (the cutesy southern accent might be making Gabby drool but it was making X's stomach crawl -more so than a dozen blueberry muffins). Xena would also answer Alison's own songs, such as "Goodbye Is All We Have" & "When You Say Nothing at All" with some Led Zep classics, like "Living Loving Maid (She's Just a Woman)" & "Dazed & Confused".
"Oh "Dazed & Confused". Good one, Xena. Sounds like Jooxer's real theme song. Ha ha" mocked Gabby.
Xena had enough of Alison & Gabby's hillbilly-fest. She left early to retrieve Robert. She snuck past security into the Led Zep reunion tent.
"MMMmmm Jimmy Page." she whispered to herself. "Even at his age he's still got it"
Then to Page as John Paul Jones & Jason Bonham entered the VIP tent. "Sorry boys, I am a big Zep fan but ya gotta give Robert over to me."
Page looked over at Plant, tied up in the corner as he refused to reunite with the band. "Ten Years Gone since we last met, Xena. It was the Battle of Evermore which was Over the Hills and Far Away from here. But I won't Ramble On. I Thank You for being our security then & stoppin' Ozzy from ruining our show. There was no Communication Breakdown then, so please let us be, and I wish you a Whole Lotta Love-"
"Alright already with the song titles!" Xena snarled. "I prefer Zep over Krauss but she's his future, you're his past. And regardless, the Song Remains the Same heh heh. Besides, if you don't let him go, I'll make sure a Greek Idol contestant takes over vocals on Zep!"
Robert Plant reunited with Alison, and Gabby persuaded Xena to see the concert that night. Xena apologized to Gabrielle cause she knew it was right for Plant to choose his own path. Even if it was with some hick babe.
"I knew you'd go for the greater good, Xena." said Gabby. "You're my Stairway to Heaven. Dancing Days have been with us from The Ocean to Kashmir Since I've Been Loving You and-"
"Awrighy Awready with the song titles! Now get some sleep or Your Time Is Gonna Come!"
*No aging rock stars were hurt in the making of this episode. However, some egos were injured."

Warrior...Princess...Lucy Lawless
"Stand back," the lead scientist warned, "it's going active now."
Lights and buzzers and flashes and then a poof!
Reposed upon the lab tables were Xena and Gabrielle. Naked. Professor Itla, 6' tall, red haired, wearing dark lab glasses, gazed upon her great experiment. "Damn that's sexy. I could stare at this all day, but I have too much work to do. XenaScrollers!! Bring sheets and cover them."
"No!" replied the XenaScrollers in resounding unison. Her amateur crew of assistants was totally rapt with the appearance of their heroic duo.
Professor Itla squared off and barked "Do it!"
"No!" came the chorus once more. The scientist bumped their heads together, a la 3 Stooges fashion, then in one long sweeping slap connected on all of them. "Get the sheets! Or you'll never see them again!"
The XenaScrollers fetch sheets and nourishment and drape the Grecian lovelies.
Xena and Gabrielle are sitting on the edge of the lab table, drinking Cokes and eating french fries.
"This stuff is weird," says Gabrielle. "All these bubbles make you want to burp."
Xena looks up, opens her mouth and thunders a belch that echoes off the walls of the lab.
"Yeah, it does," she says unabashed.
"Wow," says Brian, the bespectaled male XenaNerd. "Now that's a Warrior belch."
"Hey GlassEyes, get over here." Brian, the male XenaNerd approaches, Xena grabs his collar and pulls him close. "Quit trying to peek under Gabrielle's sheet or you'll have no eyes at all." She does a quick headbutt and knocks him out. "So...where are we? why are we here? And how'd we get here?
Professor Itla explains they have been brought to the future; to bring inspiration to a world's generation that seems to have forgotten the Greater Good, a population rife with the "Me first!" and "Where's mine?" attitude. The XenaScroller assistants all exclaim the need for a renewed devotion to bringing justice and peace to the world, to supplant the rampant evil with selfless sacrifice.
"Crap. We were doing that in Greece. Is that the only gig you got going here?" Xena complains, then barks another belch. "We're a Rock Star Army now. Can't we play the Coliseum or something?"
"Lila997, Xenacrazed, Argeaux...fetch the resource material we've gathered and take it to the media room. We'll show them a little of today's world," says Itla.
The remaining conscious XenaScrollers leave on their appointed mission.
"Now that we're alone, let me show you the real reason you're here. I don't discuss this in front of the minions," says Itla.
"Good play, Sophocles, I wouldn't discuss dinner in front of them," Xena says.
"Why are you so rude all of a sudden?" Gabrielle asks. She puts her hand on Xena's forehead. "I'm afraid there's something wrong with you."
Xena slaps her hand away. "Oh don't be irritating, blondie."
She turns to Itla, "So... start talking."
Professor Itla shows them pictures of Lucy Lawless, and videos of her singing on Celebrity Duets, at the Roxy, the Canal Room and at conventions. She plays recordings from Bitter Suite and Lyre Lyre. The musical collage ends with Lucy's rendition of "Come to Mama."
"By the gods, she's hot," says Gabrielle. "I'd do her."
"Look who's being rude now," says Xena. "Ungrateful little snot, after all I've done for you."
Professor Itla explains Lucy has been claiming to be a reincarnation of Xena, and shows them shots from XWP.
"I don't believe her. I think it's really Alti pulling a trick. Look what else I've found out," Professor Itla plays a clip of Lucy Lawless talking about Blood and Sand. "In a few months she'll be working for Rome, helping run a gladiator school, and plotting against Spartacus. Does that sound like Xena Reincarnate to you?"
Gabrielle and Xena lean in close and discuss.
"She's right. It can't be a reincarnation of you, not working for the Romans. And with a name like 'Lawless'? Why doesn't she just call herself 'Warlord' for Tartarus' sake? She may not be Alti, but she's definitely evil and should be stopped," says Gabrielle.
"Probably," answers Xena. "On the other hand... how about we ditch this Rock Star Army thing and go with her? Let's get out of this crappy thread and these amateur scenarios with these has-been musicians."
"Yeah, it's definitely an old old fart writing the scenes. The bands are really ancient," agrees Gabrielle.
"I mean that could be a dream life... training gladiators in the morning, boffing them in the afternoon, and then you and I together all night." Xena says with wistful persuasion. "Whaddaya say? You even admitted she's hot."
"Only because she looks like you. And we can't quit the Rock Star Army, we're only halfway through the alphabet. Well depending on which alphabet they're using. Ancient Greek had 24 letters, the Phoenicians 20 and of course Linear B and Mycenean were different entirely. Thank Zeus they're not using Egyptian heiroglyphic or this thread would last forever. Talk about an eternity in Tartarus."
Xena brushes the hair away from Gabrielle's forehead. "You're so beautiful when you talk all that Bard stuff."
"Ahem. Hate to break up the lovefest." Professor Itla shows them a newspaper clipping. "This Lucy Lawless is appearing on a talk show tonight a short distance from here. After that she travels halfway around the world to the gladiator school. We should kill her tonight. It will be our best chance."
"Let's do her tonight then," says Gabrielle.
Xena giggles. "Yeah, let's."
Gabrielle rolls her eyes and then turns to Professor Itla. "We'll need weapons."
"I have plenty. Modern ones you'll be impressed with." Professor Itla leaves to procure weapons from her inner lab.
The XenaScrollers come in nervously. "Um, we were waiting in the media room. You never showed up. What's going on?" says Lila997.
"Do you need more Coke?" asks Argeaux. "Or something else?"
"Shall we order a pizza?" asks Xenacrazed.
Suddenly Brian bolts upright from the floor. "Wait!! there's great danger afoot!!
"Danger afoot??" asks Xenacrazed. "Which board are you living on? This is the Xena Scroll, jackass, not Sherlock Holmes."
"Right." Brian continues, "um... by the gods, we'll all be crucified and sent to Tartarus!"
Xena and Gabrielle look greatly alarmed. "What are you talking about?"
"Let me get closer and explain before Itla comes back." Brian crawls closer, sits at their feet and begins to breathe heavily. Gabrielle kicks him in the chin.
"Perv! Quit looking up Xena's sheet!" Gabrielle scowls.
"Ouch...sorry." Brian turns to the Scrollers. "It's up to us to save Xena and Lucy Lawless. I was pretending to be knocked out by Xena's headbutt and overhead Professor Itla telling them Lucy is evil."
"Pretending to be knocked out?" asks Xena, giving him a glare through narrowed eyes.
"Er... I was knocked out. Cold. Cold as the top of Mt Olympus. But when I woke up I heard the professor telling them to kill Lucy so she wouldn't plot against Spartacus in Blood and Sand. Itla made it sound as if it's a real school, not a tv show. She wants them to kill Lucy tonight when she appears on Entertainment Tonight."
Professor Itla arrives, carrying assault rifles. Lila997 jacks her one in the jaw, sending her sprawling. Argeaux grabs the guns while Xenacrazed grabs Itla by the red hair and yanks off the wig and dark glasses, revealing a dark brunette with even darker eyes.
"Alti!!!" they all exclaim.
"Oh curse you all! such shallow stupid fools... you could have all been the Destroyers of Nations, Captors of Lost Souls, Rulers of the Known World, and Deleters of endless idiotic Xena threads. Instead, you'll all see what's in store for you!!! " Alti jumps up and runs out of the lab. The XenaScrollers look to Xena and Gabrielle.
"Aren't you going after her?" asks Lila997.
"Excuse me, I'm topless," says Gabrielle.
"Not worth the effort. I'm sick of killing that bitch. She never stays dead." Xena yawns. "It's time for a nap."
Xena and Gabrielle repose upon their respective slabs. "Wake us when Celebrity Duets comes on. I want to see if Lucy wins."
"Of course she wins," exclaims Gabrielle. "She's the best by far and away."
"Remember where we are," says Xena. "No telling how they value things nowadays."
"I'll stop her," exclaims Brian in a heroic voice. "I'll show you a real Warrior in action."
Xena gives him a bored glance and says flatly, "Yeah, right."
Brian darts for the door, slips on spilt Coke and lands against the activation switch. Lights and buzzers and flashes then poof! The heroic duo have disappeared.
The XenaScrollers stare agape in disappointed disbelief.
Finally Argeaux speaks. "Nice play, Aristophanes."
"Oh nutbread," says Brian.
The credits roll, and then a disclaimer:
No XenaScrollers were harmed in the filming of this episode.

Xena...Warrior...Paul McCartney
On a dusty road somewhere:
"My favorite Beatle was John. He sang "Give Peace A Chance", my favorite song. Despite so many people questioning their relationship, he remained with Yoko. I like that", said Gabrielle.
"Yeah well I'm partial to George myself", Xena said. "Besides the music, he was into film -er plays, and car -er chariot racing, gardening, and he had the vision to start his own publishing company separate from the others so no greedy mongrel would end up owning his songs. He introduced Eastern instruments and sounds into popular music and was a pioneer of electronic music. He had many skills."
"I like Ringo", added Joxer. "He beat on drums. He lived in a Yellow Submarine and got by with a little help from his friends."
Minya smiled. "Ah the cute one. When Howar sang "My Love" to me, it was the beginning for us. So for me it's...it's Paul! Look! It's Paul McCartney! It's really him!"
Below them, Paul & friends were in a ravine, cut off by rockslides, being attacked by barbarians. Xena backflipped down the rocky hill while the others climbed down on a vine that Gabby had tied to a boulder. By the time they arrived, Xena had clobbered the barbarians & saved everyone unharmed.
"Blimey Xena. You saved me & me mates. Whatever can I do to bloody repay you, just name it", said Sir Paul.
"Well there are a couple things. Before we leave, while your men are clearing rocks, I'd like for to sing whatever Minya requests. She's a big fan of yours. Then, then I have a personal favor to ask since you pretty much know all the big names in the music biz". Xena whispered her request to Paul.
Paul whistled for a couple roadies. "Get me pigeons & send these messages quickly now. Have me Uncle Albert find these two fellas & have Admiral Halsey get them to Amphipolis ASAP." The roadies hurried off.
"OOOooo OOOooo Admiral Halsey!" exclaimed Joxer. "I bet he lives in the Yellow Submarine and they float around the octopus' garden. Can I go too? Huh? Can I? Can I? Yeee-owwwwch!"
Minya had grabbed Joxer by the ear to get him to shut up. Even more grateful for that, McCartney began singing Minya's favorite Paul songs. While he was singing a mournful "Yesterday", both Minya & Joxer were tearful over the ballad, hugging one another. They hadn't even noticed X&G had left them.
Some time later in Amphipolis, at Cyrene's inn:
David Bowie and Tony Bennett had just wrapped up singing Bowie's "Young Grecians" and Bennett's "I Left My Heart in San FranPotedaia". Now they were crooning "Heroes", dedicated to Xena & other Greek warriors.
Cyrene hugged her daughter. "Thank you so much, Xena, for bringing my two favorite singers here on my birthday. Not sure how you managed it but I owe you".
"You owe me nothing, mother. You forgave me my past sins & accepted me in your heart again. It's me who owes you."
Xena joined Gabby in the corner. "A perfect ending, Xena, to a small adventure."
"Well it ain't over yet." Xena nodded towards David & Tony who began the next number.
"Ev'rybody's talkin' 'bout
Bagism, Shagism, Dragism, Madism, Ragism, Tagism
This-ism, that-ism, ism ism ism
All we are saying is give peace a chance
All we are saying is give peace a chance"
Gabby crinkled her nose, smiling, then giving into the tears. "Xena! My favorite song! Thank you for requesting it."
Xena looked at Gabby, thinking to herself, "Something in the way she moves,
attracts me like no other lover...
ah George you were a wise man."
No ex-Beatles were injured during the making of this episode but Ringo will need even more help from his friends now that Joxer is a fan.

Xena...Warrior...Willie Nelson
On the road again...With Xena fishing nearby, Gabby was bent over, picking some berries for lunch when all of a sudden somebody pinched her tush! She grabbed her staff, swung it neath her tush-pincher's feet & knocked him to the ground.
"I'm so sorry", he said. "I thought you were Taylor Swift."
"Who are you, you dirty old pervert? You pinched me, you wait til Xena puts her pinch on you!" exclaimed a reddened Gabrielle.
The red-headed stranger was about to explain when: "That'll be enough. Hello, Willie, you old coot". It was Xena as she & Willie shook hands.
"Y-You know this pervert?" Gabby asked in disbelief. "I hope there's a good explanation".
"Xena, you & the young blonde gal are welcome to join me at my BBQ down the road. I see you caught some fish, Xena. You can fry your fish & ours there. Perhaps me & the young 'un can make amends", offered Willie.
"Willie, this is Gabrielle. Gabrielle, Willie & I go a long way back. He's a country singer. No, none of that hick bluegrass. He's outlaw country & that's just peachy in my book."
The three headed to Willie's camp where outlaw country artists & bands were singing the songs of Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Merle Haggard and Kris Kristofferson, to name a few.
Xena was cookin' catfish & having a great time with pals from her old army who were now musicians. Meanwhile, Gabby & Willie sat at a picnic table finishing off some BBQ & corn on the cob.
"Let me tell ya how Xena & I met. It was a long, long time ago..."
[[[[[[[Flashback! Flashback!}}}}}}}}}
Evil Xena: "Well who, or what, do we have here, boys? I say we string him up by those braided pig-tails & shove that bandanna up his-"
"Zena! Vat are you doing, huh? Zat is Villie Nelson ze singer. Let him go. I am making a treaty vith him & ze Texas cowboyz, you idiot! You'll ruin everything...again!" shouted Borias.
Xena snarled at Borias. "You & your damn treaties. Men, throw, er-I mean take Nelson to my tent. I wanna hear him sing- NOW!"
In Xena's tent, Willie sang, "On the road again, it's the Destroyer of Nations again, the life I love is killin & maimin' with Alti again..."
Xena rested against a bunch of pillows, smoking her water pipe. "That's pretty good for being made up on the spot. Got anything else that might interest me?"
"As a matter of fact I do. I see you like tobacco. I have something here in this bag which is a lot, lot more powerful than tobacco. Back home we call it weed. This is a mixture of Colombian, Panama Gold, & Thai stick. Most shamaneses I know love this stuff". Willie said as he handed the pouch over to Xena.
Xena smiled. "Ok, can't do me no harm, eh, but to make sure, you join me, too."
Xena sang, "On the road again, drinkin amazon blood again, chopin heads and endin lives is what I love to do with my friends...oooo I have no friends 'cept them fuzzy ones crawlin up the walls, & silly Willie Nelson, he my friend..."
Borias enters the tent. "Zena! You iz stoned! How did dis happenz? Oh I zee, Villie Nelson. Youz best leave. I'll make treaty through Waylon instead."
"Ah you leave silly Willie alone, Boreditis. Why dontcha go ride them horsyes ya like so well, you know, the Scentaurs, they stinky just like you ha ha ha ha ha!" stoned Xena laughed as Borias left the tent ticked off. Willie joined in the laughter, but secretly laughing at Xena who couldn't hold her pot.
{{{{{End Flashback! End Flashback!}}}}}
Gabby was rolling on the ground laughing. "And to think, Xena- still to this day- won't let me live down the nutbread incident. Oh my." Then to Willie. "I forgive you pinching my behind."
"Thank you, Gabby. I must say that yours is much finer than Taylor Swift's anyhoo."
After diner, Xena & Gabby waved goodbye to the outlaw country musicians & they hugged Willie as he strolled off into the sunset with his guitar.
Willie looked back, he'd become very fond of Gabby- and who wouldn't?- as he started to sing:
"Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be warriors,
Don't let 'em pick up swords or learn of baebarian stuff,
Let 'em be bards with a nice soft tush..."
No braids or pigtails were injured during the making of this episode but one tush was pinched on and off screen."

Xena...Warrior...Ozzy Osbourne
In a castle somewhere:
"Where is Gabrielle, what have you done with her?!" Xena demanded of Ozzy at sword-point.
"As the bloody Sabbath song goes, 'finished with that woman 'cause she couldn't help me with my mind'. You figure it out you farkin' bloody nitwit!"
Xena rammed Ozzy through with her sword, but was shocked to find he must be immortal. "You bloody twit! Discord made me the God of Heavy Metal, you can't bloody kill me! I am Iron Man!"
Ozzy smacked Xena so hard with his fist that she flew back against a castle wall, bleeding as she fell. "Bloody well right, Xena, ye gotta be on a bloody Crazy Train to fight me!"
Then: "I got your message, Xe-" Americe stopped as she saw Xena struggling to get up with the long haired madman crouched over her. "I'll kill you creep!"
But Ozzy reared up & bit off Amarice's head. "MMmmm tastes better than that bloody bat" he said as he spit out her bloody red skull. "Twas Mr. Crowley who taught me how to eat people's farkin heads right off their bloody shoulders."
Then he preceded to chomp on Xena's head. "I saved your pal, Xena, she's your weakness. You can't focus when she's in trouble. I have no soft spot in keepin' you alive, unlike the other gods."
Gabrielle, in another part of the castle, watched on a monitor in horror as her friends died. "It can't be true...why?"
Unlike other gods, Ozzy had futuristic machines in his home. But future stuff wasn't new to her. X&G had been to the future only recently. The Xena Scrollers, she remembered, & there was a computer nearby. "By the gods, I hope I can work this thing".
While Ozzy was treating his followers to a concert celebrating Xena's demise, Gabby finally found the Daily Scroll.
"Hmmm...a Xena forum...what is this?-Warrior...Princess...Rock Star. Brian, he was such a nice guy. How could he- no! it's that xenacrazed creep! He wrote this adventure. It's like that enchanted scroll I once had. What he writes comes true. Except he doesn't have me on the computer. I must be doing this of my own free will. xc has me naked in his bed after he saves me from Ozzy! Euuuuuwwwww yuck! But I know what I must do..."
Gabby painted some Mehndi designs on her legs & arms. Then she focused on xc's "mind". The state of insanity, she knew she must enter it. There would be the password to xc's scrolls' account & then she would correct this mess.
Entering the sicko's mind turned out to be pretty easy as it was mostly empty. Gabby got the password & sat back at Ozzy's computer. She knew the concert would be ending soon & her death would come next so she must hurry.
She began typing...
Xena...Warrior...The O'Jays
"People all over the world (Join in, ride this train)
Join in (Ride this train, y'all)
Start a love train (Come on, train), love train
All of you brothers over in Africa
Tell all the folks in Potedaia, and Amphipolis, too, Please don't miss this train at the station
'Cause if you miss it, I feel sorry, sorry for you"
Xena & Gabrielle were seated at a table watching the O'Jays give a fine performance. Nearby, Caesar was on his knees, proposing to Amarice while Ares was dancing with Minya, promising to be her love slave. The Djinn were taking turns each dancing with Najara while Hope was apologizing to Solan for killing him.
As the O'Jays finished singing "Make a Joyful Noise", they resumed with "Back Stabbers".
Xena turned towards her pal. "Tell me again. Why are so many of our friends here, as well as our enemies, who seem so goody-two-shoes that it makes me wanna puke?"
Gabby told her all about Ozzy, the scrolls, the sicko xc. "I decided for us to have a nice time without bloodshed. To bring all our friends together & let our enemies reform. It's the perfect world I've always wanted."
"Gabrielle, your instincts are usually right. But this Utopia, it's going to drive me batty! I need action! Adventure! Excitement!"
"Okay, alright." Gabby huffed as she brought out her laptop, "I'll change things...again...anything for peace -er violence."
Xena...Warrior...Ozzy Osbourne
In a castle somewhere:
"Where is Gabrielle, what have you done with her?!" Xena demanded of Ozzy at sword-point.
A buncha barbarians entered the room, swords drawn at Xena. Xena fought & killed them all.
Ozzy was about to run off with Gabrielle when she took out her whip & wrapped it around his legs, pulling him to the ground. She would turn him over to the local authorities.
"Well all's well that ends- what's the matter Gabrielle?"
"The letter O. I wanted to see the O'Jays but then I found out the Ohio Players are in concert nearby. Let's go see them. Okay?"
"Sure", smiled Xena. "If we can't ride the Love Train, let's take the Love Rollercoaster!"
If this episode made little sense, remember it came from the state of insanity where a mind is very injured.

The Xena Rock Star Army has rolled into Melodia, and is staging Grecian Idol auditions to increase the size of their musical troop. Musicians and singers have descended from everywhere and finally the first potential candidate has taken the stage.
"I'm Olivia Newton-John," says a pretty blonde woman, "and here is my song."
She begins to sing "Have You Ever Been Mellow?" and after a minute Xena approaches and puts the pinch on her.
"Enough of that crap. Hey Gabrielle... you've been wanting to practice the pinch. Come over here a sec."
Gabrielle looks at the blond singer on her knees, gasping, choking, blood running from her nose.
Xena says "Just to make it interesting... I'll give you five dinars if you get the pinch off before she dies."
Gabrielle is in a stressful panic. "What if I can't get the pinch off?"
"Then I'll give you ten dinars," says Xena with a hearty laugh.
Gabrielle succeeds in saving the woman's life, only to discover all the other contestants have fled in fear.
"Now what are we going to do Xena?" Gabrielle says. "We've been arranging this audition for weeks."
"Change of plan," Xena says. "We'll find somebody. I'm starving. I'm heading over to the inn."
On the way to the inn they hear a beautiful baritone voice singing artfully, and soaring with an unbelievable range. They follow the source and find a man in dark glasses and dark suit, just standing and singing "I'm Crying."
"Not much for stage antics or flash, but what a voice. We can get him a costume and teach him to hip swivel," says Gabrielle.
"He's perfect, just as is," says Xena. "Find out his story."
Turns out Roy Orbison hadn't come to Melodia for Grecian Idol, but was just wandering listlessly, singing and crying over his lost love. Gabrielle calls for Aphrodite.
POOF! The Goddess of Love appears.
"Hey girlfriend," Aphrodite says as she hugs Gabrielle. "Love the new look. Red leather, black metal, streak in your hair... you could be an Olympian with that look. How's about we poof over to the agora and do some shopping?"
Gabrielle and Aphrodite do some matchmaking research on Roy. In the meantime, he sings "Only The Lonely," "Love Hurts," "Blue Bayou," and "In Dreams." Finally a wonderful woman Gabrielle has selected for him comes walking through the town square. Roy is mesmerized and sings "Pretty Woman."
The episode concludes with Roy thanking Gabrielle, Aphrodite and Xena for their help, and the entire Rock Star Army sings a version of "Pretty Woman" he's altered slightly:
Pretty Women, walking through out Greece
Pretty women, fighting to keep peace
Pretty women, stop and fight
Pretty women, make things right
Pretty women, it's all good with you.

Hodgkins and Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma
Dear OncoLink "Ask the Experts,"
What is the difference between Hodgkins and Non-Hodgkins lymphoma? I read the web page,but did not see the difference between the two except that the cells look different. Why would the Hodgkins be the "better" of the two to have if you have lymphoma?
Please let me know.
Nicolas Kuritzky, Editorial Assistant for OncoLink, responds:
Dear C,
Thank you for your interest and your question.
Hodgkins and Non-Hodgkins (NHL) lymphoma are similar in that they both arise from lymphoid tissues (e.g. lymph nodes or spleen). However, they have notable differences in their pathology (appearance under the microscope) and prognosis.
On a cellular level, Hodgkins disease is characterized by the presence of giant neoplastic (abnormal) cells known as Reed-Steinberg cells. The presence of these cells is diagnostic of Hodgkins disease, but we don't yet know from what type of lymphoid cells they come. Hodgkins disease slowly spreads to adjacent lymph nodes, and rarely metastasizes to distant sites. Most types of Hodgkins disease are also very responsive to chemotherapy and radiation therapy. Tremendous progress has been made in the treatment of this disease such that it is now though to be curable in many cases.
The term "Non-Hodgkins lymphoma" (NHL) represents a broad category of cancers that arise from lymphoid tissues. (Basically, they are lymphoid cancers that don't contain Reed-Steinberg cells.) In contrast to Hodgkins Lymphoma, the prognosis and classification of the various NHLs is a very complex and controversial subject. (It relies on morphological, cytological, immunological, and genetic markers.) In general, treatment of these lymphomas does not enjoy the remarkable success that is often true for Hodgkins lymphoma.

On January 1, 2003, Robert E. Travaglini raised his right hand and promised to uphold the laws of the Commonwealth as the 93rd President of the Massachusetts State Senate. The road that led to the Senate Presidency was paved with the experience of five Senate terms and ten years on the Boston City Council. When he
stepped down in March of 2007, Travaglini's presidency had
initiated and passed landmark legislation and some of the most
productive Senate sessions in modern times.
carried him on to Boston University's School of Public Communications. The first opportunity to apply these skills came as an Executive Assistant to Massachusetts Attorney General Frank Bellotti from 1975 to1981. The following three years he continued work in the public sector as an Administrative Assistant to the Mayor of Boston, Kevin White. Travaglini decided to enter his name in the political arena as a candidate for the Boston City Council. The spirited young man from District One quickly gained a reputation as a staunch defender of neighborhoods. From the Boston City Council to the Senate President's office, Travaglini has always placed his loyalty with his constituents.
After his election to the State Senate in 1992, Travaglini rose steadily through the ranks of leadership. Among his important chairmanships, he led the Joint Committee on Commerce and Labor and served as vice-chair of
Senate Ways and Means. During the outset of his fourth term, Travaglini was appointed the Senate Majority Whip and then served as Senate Chair of the Massachusetts Legislative Children's Caucus.
During what he describes as the pinnacle of his long career in public service, Travaglini has guided his 39 Senate colleagues through the worst fiscal conditions in the state since the 1920's. He encouraged them to employ innovative strategies to revamp the government structure as well as bring transparency to the legislative process. The results? Four balanced and on-time budgets, dozens of reform initiatives that have opened access to healthcare
and human services and policies and investments to help create
jobs and trigger private development in a stagnant economy.
The experience and skill from a lifetime of public service allowed
Travaglini to place Massachusetts on the forefront of medical
research by passing legislation to protect and promote stem cell
research. He also initiated the drive and brought all of the
stakeholders to the table in overhauling the state's
healthcare system to cover the 500,000 people who have no

|This article is about the world. You may be looking for the castle or the mines below the castle.
You can use this header to quickly navigate to the sub-pages of this article.
Radiant Garden, also known as The Radiant Garden, is a world in Kingdom Hearts II and Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep and also appears in Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance. It appears in the first two games as Hollow Bastion, the castle which lies in the center of the world, with the areas outside mostly destroyed. It is the home world of many Final Fantasy characters within the series, as well as the original home world of Kairi and Ansem the Wise.
After the world was reduced to just the castle, following an assault by the Heartless, it was named simply "Hollow Bastion". It regains its name in Kingdom Hearts II after Tron finds a record of it in the computer's database and shows everyone what the town looked like when it started out, causing everyone from the Radiant Garden to remember the name. This world was run by Ansem the Wise during Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep, Maleficent and Xehanort's Heartless in Kingdom Hearts and the Hollow Bastion Restoration Committee in Kingdom Hearts II.
In Kingdom Hearts II, the Radiant Garden plays a similar role to Traverse Town from Kingdom Hearts, as a sort of "home base" for Sora before he returned to Destiny Islands.
The Town
Sora first arrives in the Radiant Garden (still known as Hollow Bastion at the time) at the Marketplace which houses the world's Moogle shop, as well as Uncle Scrooge and the accessory shop of his nephews Huey, Dewey, and Louie. Final Fantasy fans will also note two familiar faces who run the world's armor shop and item shop. Down the stairs past the item shop is the Borough, which seems to be a residential area and where Merlin's House is located. It's also the Hollow Bastion Restoration Committee's base of operations and contains the book that leads to the world 100 Acre Wood.
If you continue, you will come across the Bailey which allows a look of the Villain's Vale and access to the Restoration Site. After the events of your first journey to Space Paranoids, the Bailey is changed, with the outer wall of the city broken down and you can walk to the Castle Gate.
If you go to the Restoration Site, you will find equipment to restore the city. It is also changed after your first visit to Space Paranoids, which allows you to get two new treasures. At the end of the Restoration Site you will make your way up to the castle, Hollow Bastion.
Outside of the Town
If you go to the Castle Gate from the Bailey, you can see an old gate similar to the one in Kingdom Hearts. From the Castle Gate, you will reach the long and winding Ravine Trail that eventually leads to the Crystal Fissure; a small cave-like area with glowing crystals. This leads to The Great Maw, a large area where the Battle of the 1000 Heartless is fought. The next and last area is the Dark Depths where you can fight Sephiroth after your third and final visit.
Villain's Vale
From the Bailey you have a view of the Villain's Vale which is an unreachable area in Kingdom Hearts II. It acts as a base of operations for Maleficent and her forces of darkness. After discovering that Maleficent had been defeated, Pete showed up here to see if it was true. He found an empty fortress, but was soon greeted by a Diablo and a resurrected Maleficent.
When Sora and company first arrive in Hollow Bastion, at the base of the Vale is a swarm of Shadow Heartless. Leon and the rest of the Hollow Bastion Restoration Committee wish to restore the city, but first need to get rid of the Heartless. After the Battle of the 1000 Heartless, the base of the Vale is no longer surrounded by Heartless. The Heartless were amassed together by Maleficent and Pete for their army and then used to attack Hollow Bastion. The Heartless, however, sided with Organization XIII and did not finish attacking the city.
Villain's Vale appears in several flashbacks seen in Timeless River. As Maleficent treats Pete badly after his failure, the latter begins wishing he could return to the old days when he captained the Steamboat Willie. In response, the worlds gave Pete a doorway to his past to atone for his mistakes. He shows the door to Maleficent, who orders him to go to the past and destroy the Cornerstone of Light so that they may take control of Disney Castle in the present.
After losing Hollow Bastion to the Hollow Bastion Restoration Committee, she deems the crumbling fortress unworthy, and begins searching for a new, grander castle in which to rule, setting her sights on both Disney Castle and the Castle that Never Was.
Cavern of Remembrance
In Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix, new areas are added including the Cavern of Remembrance and the Garden of Assemblage (where data of defeated Organization XIII members can be accessed and fought against). These areas can be accessed from a new hole in the Postern.
Alternatively, after completing all stages in the Cavern of Remembrance, the Garden of Assemblage can be accessed via an entrance cut out of the rock in the left side of the Restoration Site, thus saving players the trouble of scaling the mineshaft in the Cavern of Remembrance.
Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep
- "It stands to reason that he will strike next in the city of light, Radiant Garden."
- —Master Xehanort telling Terra that Radiant Garden is in danger.
Radiant Garden was once a glorious kingdom known as a capital of light throughout the worlds. The three Keyblade wielders, Terra, Ventus, and Aqua, all arrive in the town at roughly the same time.
Terra arrives here looking for Vanitas, but only finds a swarm of Unversed in the town center. He then sees Master Xehanort walking down a street and follows him. Along the way he picks up Pooh's storybook dropped by the wizard Merlin and then sees a large Unversed fly towards a mining area outside town.
Aqua arrives here shortly after Terra's arrival. She first meets Scrooge McDuck, who says he saw someone heading towards the castle. She runs to the castle, where she meets a young Kairi being attacked by the Unversed. Mickey then appears from the sky and the two protect the young girl together. They also sense the pure light from Kairi, but Mickey is called away by his Star Shard immediately after he proposes that he and Aqua team up. Kairi offers Aqua flowers as thanks for helping her, and Aqua places a spell on Kairi in order to protect her light should it ever be threatened. Kairi's Grandma arrives and tells her story of the origin of light to Kairi as they head home. Aqua then sees a giant Unversed and chases it through town.
Ven, meanwhile appeared in Radiant Garden after Mickey's Star Fragment sent him there, however he sees Mickey walking towards the castle and follows him to the front doors, but the guards, Dilan and Aeleus prevent his entrance. But a giant Unversed appears, causing Ven to chase after it. The guards prepare to follow, but are reprimanded by Even, who says that the boy can take care of himself and also senses that Ven has no darkness in his heart, or rather it was taken out. In the town square, Ven defends Scrooge McDuck from the Unversed so the mister offers him three lifetime passports to Disney Town. Ven thanks him and runs after the Unversed, meeting Merlin along the way.
All three heroes arrive at the same place by chasing their respective Unversed. They are surprised to see each other, but first defeat the Trinity Armor that forms. They fight together and win. Ven shares his tickets to Disney Town with his friends. Ven tells of his journey and how he even defeated a masked boy who bad mouthed Terra. Terra knows this is Vanitas and bids him to go home with Aqua. Aqua wonders if Terra has gotten too close to the darkness. Terra is insulted and feels that Master Eraqus sent her to spy on him. As Terra leaves to follow his own path, Ven displays disbelief to Aqua's claims and goes after Terra, but not before telling a disheartened Aqua that she has changed.
Terra enters the lower portions of the castle where he meets Braig, who openly tells him that he has captured Master Xehanort. Terra goes further into the castle to find the last person he trusts, but is approached again by Braig who wants the Keyblade for himself. The two battle, with the captured Xehanort imploring Terra to give into his darkness. Terra eventually does so, and shoots a burst of dark energy that hits Braig's face, giving the scars he appears with later and blinding one of his eyes. Terra and Xehanort form a pact to work together to destroy Vanitas. Terra then prepares to leave, even after Ven wants to come with him.
Aqua, meanwhile, left towards the town square, meeting Merlin on the way. In the town square, she meets Vanitas, who taunts her by inquiring about Ventus and then attacks. Aqua wins the battle, but Vanitas escapes, complementing her on her skill, and making an ambiguous comment that he will keep her around as his backup plan. Ven then arrives, wanting to go with her as well, but Aqua declines and tells him just to go home, then she leaves.
Ven, after the battle with the Trinity Armor, passes by young Ienzo, being attacked by Unversed. He helps the boy as Even arrives. The scientist thanks Ven for rescuing the orphan, and also notes that they may be connected in the future. He plays with Terra's old wooden Keyblade, but drops in front of two teenagers, Lea and Isa. Lea challenges Ven, but loses embarrassingly. Isa says it is time that they left, with Lea saying that he and Ven will meet again someday because they are friends now. Isa has no clue as to why Lea is so friendly, but Lea responds he wants to be a part of many people's memories so that he can live forever in the memories of all the people he meets. The two look towards the castle, silently getting ready to do something, they then leave. Reminded of his friends, Ven leaves for new worlds.
In the last chapter, Aqua comes to Radiant Garden looking for Terra after creating Castle Oblivion. She finds Terra, however possessed by Master Xehanort's dark heart. Aqua struggles when he tries to strangle her, but she tries to make him remember his true self. Terra cannot overpower Xehanort's heart, leaving Aqua no choice but to battle her friend. Terra awakens the darkness in his heart in the form of the Guardian Heartless. However Aqua proves victorious, and Terra tries to release the darkness in his heart by sending himself to the Realm of Darkness. Aqua jumps in after him wearing her armor as protection. Unfortunately, Aqua realizes cannot save both of them, so she gives Terra her armor and Keyblade to protect him, and sends him back to the Realm of Light, while she stays in the darkness.
Terra's unconscious body is found in Radiant Garden hereafter by Braig, who brings Ansem the Wise and Dilan to retrieve the stranger. Terra can only remember the name, Xehanort, causing Braig to smile deviously. They also find Aqua's armor and Keyblade although they are unsure of what it is. Later, Terra, now using the name "Xehanort", has become Ansem's apprentice, and making an ally in Braig. Ansem and Ienzo then walk by, catching the boy's attention and the scientist's suspicion.
During the end credits, Lea and Isa are seen getting thrown out of the castle by Dilan and Aeleus. Later, Lea buys two sticks of sea salt ice cream from Scrooge McDuck and shares it with Isa. Kairi is also seen picking flowers and gazing up at the sky above her, while her necklace faintly glows.
Between Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep and Kingdom Hearts
Hollow Bastion was once a glorious castle towering over the Radiant Garden and owned by a respectful king, Ansem the Wise. Much of the history of the castle is unknown, other than that Ansem ruled from it. However, eventually Ansem's apprentices led by Xehanort overthrew their former mentor, and remodeled the castle to include mechanical components. The result was a twisted bastion; half beautiful castle, half distorted factory.
According to Leon, Maleficent invaded Hollow Bastion's world with her Heartless nine years before the events of Kingdom Hearts. Some residents managed to escape, many of whom ended up in Traverse Town. However, the youngest known resident, Kairi, was sent into the oceans of the worlds by Xehanort and ended up in Destiny Islands. During her reign in the castle as one of Ansem, Seeker of Darkness's minions, it is probable that Maleficent either created or remodeled the castle's keep, which has decorations and models of roses and her thorned plants.
Kingdom Hearts
Kingdom Hearts II
Sora and his friends reunite with Leon, Yuffie, Aerith, and Cid, who have started the Hollow Bastion Restoration Committee, an organization attempting to rebuild the world that they once lived in. After reuniting with Merlin as well, Leon makes Sora, Donald, and Goofy honorary members of the committee and takes them to view the restoration work on the Bailey. There, after a surprise attack, the party has their first real encounter with Organization XIII in the form of taunts and cryptic messages. After unlocking the pathway to other worlds via his committee card, Sora heads out to search for King Mickey and Riku.
The party returns briefly to visit and assist Merlin, who has found Winnie the Pooh's book, the entrance to the 100 Acre Wood. However, a raid by Heartless damages the book when they try to steal it from Sora's group, leading to Pooh's amnesia and the search for the book's Torn Pages.
When the party is called again to Hollow Bastion, they reunite with Cloud, who vows to go after Sephiroth. They then are sent by Cid and Merlin to assist Leon in the Bastion itself; along the way, they meet the Gullwings for the first time. After reaching the Bastion, they first see Ansem's study and are introduced to his seemingly malfunctioning computer system after a brief encounter with Tifa. After an unplanned trip to the Space Paranoids courtesy of Stitch, they finally meet with the King in Ansem's study, who promises to talk after they finish helping Tron. Sora and his party copy Tron's scrambled data, finding out about Ansem the Wise.
Mickey explains about Ansem the Wise, his impostor, and the Heartless and Nobodies that resulted, most notably Xemnas. While he explains many things to them, Sora learns that the King can't tell him about Riku. He charges them to go find the missing Riku and Kairi, but there is a sudden explosion outside the Bastion. Heartless and Nobodies begin pouring through a hole blown in the outer wall. Sora's party encounter Maleficent, who orders her Heartless to attack, and the Gullwings, who they trick into joining Leon's side. They also find Sephiroth, looking to fight Cloud.
The party makes their way to the Bailey, where they witness the Hollow Bastion Restoration Committee, the Gullwings, Cloud, and Tifa's attempts to stop the Heartless, as well as an encounter between Cloud and Sephiroth. Mickey orders them to find Riku and Kairi instead of fighting the Heartless, but Sora refuses and leaps into the fray, joined by Donald and Goofy. Their first encounter is with Demyx, who attempts to eliminate Sora again. They defeat Demyx, and Mickey catches up with them and admits his earlier decision was hasty. An explosion caused by a Heartless causes a boulder to fly at Mickey, but Goofy takes the blow instead and is seemingly killed. Spurred on by his sacrifice, the three jump into the battle, assisted by the other residents of Hollow Bastion. After a short time, it is revealed that Goofy is alright and reunites with them. Together, they work to halt the Heartless invasion.
They are triumphant in the end, but are confronted by Xemnas and Saïx who reveals, with help from Axel, Organization XIII's master plot. Maleficent appears and attempts to claim Kingdom Hearts for her own. She helps Sora escape so he can help her find a way to get rid of the Nobodies by sending him and his friends into the Realm of Darkness. There, they find the two clues needed to unlock the identity of Roxas, as well as the way to unlock the second set of adventures in each World.
On the third and final main visit to Hollow Bastion, the Master Control Program has taken over Cid and Ansem the Wise's computers, causing the claymores in Hollow Bastion to malfunction and attack the residents. Sora, Donald, and Goofy go into Space Paranoids to contact Tron while Cid works on a program to delete the MCP. When downloaded into the Space Paranoids, the party is able to retake control of Hollow Bastion's computers and restore order. In addition, Tron finds information on Ansem's data of Hollow Bastion's existence before the Heartless came, then reveals it to all residents, reminding everyone its true name and nature: the Radiant Garden.
Alternatively, Sora and co. find and fight Sephiroth at Villain's Vale after Radiant Garden's chaotic situation is solved. If he is proven victorious, Sephiroth tells him to find Cloud so that they may finish everything once and for all. Cloud and Sephiroth emit in a great battle until Tifa arrives and renews his light, giving him the strength to fight Sephiroth. Cloud and Sephiroth disappear to once again finish their battle. Tifa gives Sora the Fenrir Keychain as token for her gratitude for helping her and Cloud.

Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance
After their respective Nobodies and Heartless were destroyed, Lea, Dilan, Even, Aeleus and Ienzo return to human state in Ansem's lab. Lea is the first to recover, taking notice that he is no longer Axel. Seeing that Xehanort, Braig and Isa are missing, Lea searches in and around the castle for them. While Dilan and Even are made to rest longer by Aeleus to stabilize after their return, he and Ienzo begin searching around Ansem's study.
Lea enters the study, openly wondering if Braig and Isa could have come back in a different world. Ienzo explains that when someone loses their heart, they are usually revived in the world they lost it in. However, he then says it's also possible that if that world is unavailable for whatever reason, they come to in a world between light and darkness, known as Traverse Town. Taking notice of Ansem's notes on the DTD, Lea decides to go looking for Braig and Isa, lamenting that he always gets stuck with the icky jobs.

Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep
- As with Destiny Islands and Twilight Town, the only characters native to this world are either Kingdom Hearts-original characters or Final Fantasy characters.[citation needed]
- Eight members of Organization XIII come from this world. Additionally, Sora lost his heart here as well, creating his and Kairi's Nobodies.
- Although they were originally set to appear in Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep, Leon, Yuffie, Aerith, Cloud, Tifa, and Cid were removed from the game because, according to Nomura, there were too many plot lines already, and it would have gotten confusing.[citation needed]
- Pre-release screenshots and trailers for "Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep" showed Terra carrying Ven in The Great Maw from Kingdom Hearts II. However, this area wasn't included in the game at all.
- If examined closely, it can be noted that Radiant Garden Shops present in Kingdom Hearts II were actually built on the site of the former, Fountain Courtyard.
- Should one choose to finish the Radiant Garden/Space Paranoids storyline right before the final battle, Sora will STILL guess that Organization XIII is behind the malfunctioning Claymores even though all but Xemnas have been slain.

Latest media releases
Swiss industrial activity peaks
Industrial activity in Switzerland peaked in the third quarter. The latest UBS survey shows that Swiss companies expect growth to slow slightly in the final three months of the year but remain at a high level.
The results of UBS's quarterly survey of around 330 Swiss industrial firms in September show that the expectations expressed last quarter were clearly exceeded. Business activity strengthened again in the third quarter and reached a level last witnessed during the boom phase in 2000. This suggests that industrial activity has peaked in Switzerland, although the companies surveyed expect only a slight dip in the final quarter of this year.
UBS Business Cycle Indicator flattening out at high level
Robust industrial activity is making itself felt throughout the Swiss economy. The UBS Business Cycle Indicator, which is derived from the results of the quarterly survey, indicates continued strong growth in real GDP. Although the indicator is set to gradually flatten, it will still reach approximately 3% in the current quarter as well.
Employment levels boosted in third quarter
New orders, production, backlogs and sales saw faster growth in the third quarter at the industrial companies surveyed. Exports continued to provide a strong impetus. Employment levels climbed further on the back of rising capacity utilization which, at 89.4%, was exceptionally high. Headcount increased at 35% of firms and decreased at only 15%. This trend will probably become even more pronounced in the current quarter. Sales prices increased and almost half the firms surveyed reported higher earnings.
Sectors remain optimistic, although there are some differences
Although momentum is dropping off slightly, companies are clearly upbeat about the final quarter of this year in all criteria surveyed. The same is true in a cross-sector picture, although there are slight differences. Watchmakers are once again the most optimistic sector, and the metals and electrical engineering sectors are also expecting business to be above average. Textile firms and printing and graphics companies are slightly less optimistic compared with the cross-sector average.

For those of you who don't know what Funfetti is: http://www.pillsburybaking.com/products/ProductDetail.aspx?catID=297&prodID=701
Since I needed a good way to use up the sprinkles that were given to me after the holiday cookie party my friend had about a week ago, I decided to make a Funfetti cake. I used a basic yellow cake/vanilla cake recipe and added the sprinkles typically found in the cake batter-the "crunchy" bigger ones…if you do know Funfetti cakes…you know what I'm talking about…if you don't know…go to your local grocery store and pick up a box. Now, I would not normally say that Pillsbury makes good products, or that you should make cake from a box, but I see it as the Kraft Mac 'n Cheese of cake. (Not that I would advise to buy/eat that either) but my point is that it is a cake that I grew up knowing from attending various birthday parties. It's all about the nostalgia for this overly sugared cake.
Anyway, I made the frosting from scratch as well, and used blue (smaller, sugary) sprinkles to help "dye" it green because it is the holidays after all. Then I frosted and added the final layer of sprinkles. Like I said before, a sugary cake (typically made for kids). Continue reading

Staff writer
Dave Griffith with Van Keppel Company talked to Marion County Commission about purchasing a road recycling machine that the county is currently leasing.
The quoted price Griffith offered was $202,642 for the 2008 machine. Road and Bridge Superintendent Randy Crawford said he had looked at machines from Caterpillar, the cheapest of which was listed at $350,000.
He added that the county could save nearly $100 an hour the machine is used by purchasing the recycler instead of leasing it for $12,000 a month.
The county has put 855 hours onto the 2008 recycler. The county has one other recycling machine, a 1985 model. Crawford said that machine is one repair away from not making money back on a sale.
Crawford agreed with Griffith that the machines are necessary for asphalt road maintenance. The first project they pointed to was Remington Road. Commissioner Randy Dallke brought up Old Mill Road, which has seen heavy truck traffic coming from Florence. He estimated the asphalt road will need work within two years.
Without commissioner Roger Fleming, a decision was tabled until next Monday.
In other business:
- Salary changes were approved for three Road and Bridge Department employees. Paul Webb went from $2,021 a month to $2,061. Kerry Maag went from $2,100 a month to $2,181. Adam Maag went from $10 an hour to $1,981 a month.
- A fuel bid from Cooperative Grain and Supply for 5,500 gallons of diesel fuel and 2,500 gallons of unleaded gas for $28,650 was approved. Cardie Oil also bid on the fuel at $29,030.
- The commission approved $3,658 in write-offs from ambulance transports dating from Sept. 21, 2008, to July 16, 2012.
- The commission signed a letter sent to Union Pacific Railroad requesting $100,000 for the right to close 180th Road near Aulne. The railroad has already agreed to pay the county $150,000 to close 150th Road.
- The county received a second application for Rural Opportunity Zone student loan forgiveness for Autumn Reece.
- No action was taken after a 10-minute executive session for land acquisition.
