Open with a pan backward of the Taj Mahul and fade to a bird's eye view of a pan over Jaipur the Pink City and Jodhpur. Fade to a landscape view of the sun rising over a few dunes in Khuri

Fade to later in the day on a dirt road with fields along each side. Pan along as the road descends to a wooden area. Voices are heard.

Craig (voice) - No! No way. I'm not doing it

Cut to Craig walking beside his horse holding on to the reigns

Craig - There is no way I'm getting on this horse

Pan up to Eve riding her brown steed.

Eve - I've done it for years! It's a little awkward at first but you'll get used to it

Craig - Yeah well you also don't have all the parts I do.

Eve - (rolls her eyes and gets off her horse and drags it off to a small pond of water) Fine. Let's stop here for a while and rest, we can decide on how to proceed.

Craig nods and drags his horse over to the pond. He sits down and takes out some food from his backpack. He looks over to Eve as she takes out the book of wisdom and starts carefully leafing through the pages.

Craig - I can't believe how well preserved that book is. The writing isn't even faded. Must be mystical.

Eve - (smiles) Or maybe it was in a sealed tomb protected from air and moisture.

Craig - (takes a bite of a sandwich) So how long do you want to stay?

Eve - (looks up at the sun) Not too long. Twenty minutes okay?

Craig - That's not what I meant. I don't understand why we can't go home now. Don't get me wrong, I've always wanted to see more of India but I don't like being away so long, especially when there's so much to be done.

Eve - You don't think Alex can handle it?

Craig - Of course she can but my path lies there. (thinking about what Michael said) I belong there. On the front lines.

Eve - I can't leave just yet. I still feel there is something that needs to be done here.

Craig - Still searching for answers?

Eve - I'm still trying to wrap my head around the answers I got.

Craig -(nods) I feel better in knowing that the spell didn't mess up the timeline. It was always meant to happen this way

Eve - I just wish I knew more about the warning Raphael gave me, about sacrificing for the greater good.

Craig - Yeah, Michael gave me one of those too.

Eve - Whatever it is we'll face it together.

Craig and Eve smile at each other and stare into each others eyes before Craig notices he's been doing it a bit to long. He coughs a little and looks away

Craig - So . . .Anything interesting in that book? There must be some pretty deep stuff in those pages.

Eve - (looks down at the book) I can't read anything here.

Craig - I'm pretty good with ancient languages, let me take a look. I can probably work out a translation for you

Eve hands to book to Craig and he look through the pages. He stops on one and reads it

Craig - "Fill yourself with desire you will see only illusion. Empty yourself of desire and you will understand the great mystery of things."

Eve looks to her side a little and remains quiet

Craig - (looks up the road trying to appear non chalant) We're being watched aren't we?

Eve nods in agreement and continues to seem unaware. She then suddenly flips backward from her seat and jumps up and flips over to the other side of the road where she pulls out a figure from the bushes. It's Morgan.

Morgan looks startled as Eve pulls her out of the bushes. Eve is shocked!

Eve - You!!

Craig -(gets into a fighting stance) An Amazon!!

Eve - No! It's okay. Morgan is part of the Aquitaine Amazons. They're meant to protect the Messenger of Eli. She won't attack.

Morgan - Wow! That was great. How did you know I was there?

Craig - You were following us?

Morgan - I was following Eve. Did you really think I wouldn't follow you? I had to make sure you wouldn't tell anyone about the secrets buried there.

Eve - We weren't there for secrets

Morgan - Are you really her? I mean, you opened that coffin with your blood. You look like your portrait!! Are you really Eve the First!

Eve - It's just Eve (still looks unsettled as she looks around)

Morgan - What's wrong?

Eve - I just didn't expect to see you. I thought there might have been something else.

Morgan - Eve is supposed to have senses just like Xena! It is you! This is awesome!

Eve and Craig look at Morgan strangely for a moment but Craig focussed on Eve's concern.

Eve - I was trained to know when I'm being tracked.

Craig - War Commander 101. Is there something out there?

Eve - I'm not sure. It just feels like there is something hanging over my head.

Fade out from Eve and fade in to the sky. Above the trees is a figure with four arms on a flying carpet

Fade to later. Eve and Craig are walking along the path along with their horses and Morgan is close by. Eve keeps looking at the path behind her feeling like they are being followed while Morgan rambles on.

Morgan - You know, they said it was part of my destiny to walk with you on your path but I never thought it would actually happen! You're like a real life hero! The stories that I've heard! It's like . . . like meeting your childhood hero! Except you didn't actually become my hero up until a few years ago!

Eve - They? Whose they?

Morgan - The Amazons of course

Craig - I can't believed Eleanor's order has survived after all these years. Eve, you've practically got an army on your side. You could find out so much about the Line of Messengers

Morgan - When I first came to the Amazons they told me my destiny lies on the path of the Messenger and the first step in paying off my karmic dept was to become a guardian of Eve's tomb.

Craig - Karmic dept?

Morgan - I was Varia, Queen of the One Tribe in a past life.

Eve - Varia owed me nothing.

Morgan - She tried to kill you twice! (bows down)I am so sorry!

Craig snickers and Eve looks over to him rolls her eyes and looks back to Morgan

Eve - (picks Morgan up) Morgan there's no need for that. Look, I'm no saint and I'm no fantasy hero. This isn't a dream come true. There is evil that walks this earth. I'm not sure you're ready to face that.

Morgan - But I am. It was foretold that I'm to help you on your mission. Our destinies are connected.

Craig - (realizes something) You're Morgan! Michael said her destiny is connected with ours.

Eve - Well . . . I guess you could walk with us for a while but you don't need to treat me like a holy relic.

Morgan - How am I suppossed to treat you?

Eve - Like a friend

Craig snickers again and Eve looks over to him slightly annoyed

Craig - Sorry, I just never seen anyone bow to you like that before!

Morgan - (scowls at Craig) It figures a man wouldn't understand how to respect a woman. Pig!

Craig moves to confront Morgan when Eve step in front to block them from each other

Eve - Okay WHOA! Hold on! (turns to Morgan) Alright! First things first. Craig is my friend and a good man. He has a place by my side now and always. If you are to walk with me you must respect him. Got it?

Morgan - (nods) Yeah. (looks over to Craig) Sorry.

Craig - Don't mention it. I guess the Amazons have soured your opinion about men.

Morgan - Actually bad experiences with men formed that opinion

Craig - Yeah well I've had bad experiences with Amazons so forgive me if I don't warm up to you right away

Eve - Stop you two!! Okay, obviously this is going to take some time. (looks up at the sky to determine the time) We need to get a move on. I want to get back to New Delhi by sundown

Eve makes on quick look behind her then continues on wearily

Craig - Eve you keep looking behind yourself. Was there someone other than Morgan following us?

Morgan - I noticed no one following me

Eve - I don't know but I can't shake the feeling.

Cut to Eve Craig and Morgan being watched through the bushes and trees.

Cut back to Morgan Craig and Eve

Craig - I think you're being just being paranoid

Morgan stops suddenly and puts an arm in front of Eve stopping her. Morgan looks around while Eve and Craig look at her confused.

Eve - What?

Morgan then jumps up high into the trees and seems to disappear.

Eve - (steps forward and looks up at the trees) Where'd she go?

Suddenly two feet away from them two figures break through the branches and crash on to the ground. Morgan is one of the figures struggling on the ground with a huge primate who is, strangely enough, elegantly dressed.

Craig - Wha?

The primate and Morgan struggle on the ground before Morgan flips him off her. He becomes slightly disoriented and Morgan propels her self up with her legs. The Primate gets up. Eve begins to recognize him

Eve - Wait . . .

Morgan spins around and jumps up with the intention of kicking him but he catches Morgan by the shoulders lifting her high off the ground. She is struggling to get loose

Primate - Please!! Stop struggling. I do not wish you any harm.

Morgan - Let me go you big ape!!

Eve - MORGAN STOP!!

Morgan shocked looks over to Eve. The primate gently puts Morgan on the ground

Eve - (walks slowly over to Morgan while still looking at the Primate) I know you

Morgan - He was following us!

Eve - You . . . You knew Eli. You helped him. You're Hanuman

Hanuman - (nods) You have the memories of Eli?

Eve - No, but I've heard many stories.

Craig - Why were you following us?

Hanuman - I wasn't. I came to find you. To warn you

Eve - About what?

Voice - HANUMAN!!!

Eve Morgan Craig and Hanuman all look toward the figure walking toward them.

Cut to the figure. He is large man dressed in purple robes and a turban. He has four arms each holding a sword

Hanuman - Ijep

Ijep - You knew the price for getting in my way. It is my right and you are not allowed to take it from me!! Now I will kill you before I kill (points his sword towards Eve) her!!

COMMERCIAL

Ijep begins to swing the sword around in his hands as he advances. Morgan lets out a loud war cry and runs toward Ijep swinging her sword high in the air.

Eve - Morgan no!!

As Ijep brings two sword down Morgan blocks both with her own sword and shoves him back. She swings around and backhands Ijep who barely flinches. Morgan swings around again and slices of one of his arms. He looks at his arm laying on the ground then looks back to Morgan and gives a little smile. Just then a new arm grows in its place.

Morgan - Gross

Ijep picks up his sword and begins to attack again. Morgan jumps up and flips backward kicking him in the face. She raises her sword to attack and he sends a blow to her stomach with his foot. Then punches with the hilt of his sword causing her to stumble on to the ground. Eve runs toward Morgan in an effort to help her but Hanuman holds her back.

Hanuman - No you mustn't!!

Eve - He'll kill her!

Hanuman - And he will surely kill you! That is his mission!

Cut back to Morgan as Ijep brings four swords down on her head. Morgan is able to block two with her sword as one misses her and the other sword cuts her arm. She screams as she pushes the swords back and rolls away.

Eve - We have to help her!!

Hanuman man runs over and flips high in the air. He kicks Ijep in the face with both feet sending Ijep flying back. Hanuman then flips backward over to Morgan.

Hanuman - Can you still climb trees?

Morgan nods and Hanuman offers her a boost. She accepts and is thrust upward into the trees. Ijep gets back and looks at Hanuman with anger and advances quickly. Hanuman flips backward and grabs hold of Eve and Craig and jumps high up into the trees. Ijep looks up but can see no one in the dense foliage.

Ijep - YOU CAN'T RUN FROM ME FOREVER!! I WILL KILL YOU!!! I WILL KILL YOU ALL

Fade to a bit later on when Morgan jumps on to the ground with Hanuman behind her. He sets down Eve and a weary Craig.

Craig - Okay. We are never doing that again!

Hanuman - I apologize but it was necessary for a quick escape.

Eve - What is going on? Why was he looking to kill me?

Hanuman - It is his sworn oath

Eve - I don't understand.

Hanuman - Ijep has sworn vengeance for his father's death.

Craig - Who is Ijep and what does he have to do with Eve?

Hanuman - Ijep is the king of demons. He has been the king of demons since his father's death.

Craig - I thought Indrajit was the king of demons

Eve - He was until my mother killed him

Hanuman - Correct. In order to save Eli and Gabrielle, Xena called on Krishna for help and he transformed her in to the warrior goddess Kali and she defeated Indrajit. You see, Indrajit wanted to kill Eli. Not just because he represented all that is pure and good but because the avatar before Eli had killed Indrajit's father. It was vengeance. A life for a life. No one knew Indrajit had a son to avenge his death.

Eve - Now he is going to kill me because my mother killed his father.

Hanuman - Yes. I had come to warn you. When I had heard the First Messenger of Eli had returned to spread his word I knew I must seek you out and protect you on your journey here as I did with Ewan. The world has seen many horrors since he died.

Craig - You knew Ewan the Great!?

Hanuman - Oh yes. A wise man and a true warrior. We had much in common. Brothers in arms. Warrior Poets. (looks to Craig) You are similar to him but you have far to go.

Eve - With everything I've found out I wonder if it would have helped if I had known sooner

Hanuman - Life unfolds the way it does for a reason. Everyone has his or her own journey's to make. Ewan had made his. He was unsure of himself like you are now. But he prevailed because he believed in the power of truth and light. He knew that all the world needed was someone strong enough to care, he strove to become that person. It was a sad day when he died. It is a Messenger's job to spread peace and protect the ultimate way. You've been brought back to start the Line of Messengers again but if Ijep should kill you . . .

Eve - The line of Messengers is dead once more and this time there's no back up plan.

Eve takes a long sigh and pinches the bridge of her nose when she sees Morgan sitting on a rock clutching her wounded arm looking dazed.

Eve - Morgan? (walks over to her and kneels by her side) Morgan are you all right?

Morgan - I . . . I don't . . .feel so good

Eve - (confused she takes Morgan hand away from her arm) Here, let me see your wound. Craig !

Craig pulls a small first aid kit out of his knap sack and hands it to Eve who takes out some anti septic and bandages and begins to clean her wound. Suddenly Morgan leans over and throws up.

Craig - (surprised)Someone has a weak stomach

Eve - Flesh wounds don't cause that

Eve wipes a little bit of blood away from the wound on to her finger. She taps her tongue slightly with her finger then spit out the little bit of blood she tasted

Eve - She's been poisoned!!

Hanuman - Ijep put poison on his sword. It was meant for you.

Eve - Oh Morgan why did you attack him?

Morgan - (weak) He wanted to kill you. I had to protect you.

Eve looks are Morgan bewildered but shakes her head

Eve - (back to Hanuman) Is there an antidote?

Hanuman -(nods) Yes but it would be in Ijep's palace

Eve - Then that's where we're going.

Hanuman - But Ijep will stop you on sight. He will kill you

Eve - He'll try. I'm going to be his distraction. That will give you and Craig time to find the antidote and give it to Morgan.

Morgan - Don't . . . .don't waste your time . . . on . . . on me

Eve - Don't be foolish. There is nothing more important than a human life and I'm going to save yours.

Craig - Eve maybe we should just leave before Ijep can kill you

Eve - We need the antidote and we need to end this. If we don't Morgan will die. So we have to go to Ijep's palace. Are you in or out?

Craig - I'm in.

Hanuman - So am I.

Cut to an exquisite palace made of gold, amber and amethyst. Fade to inside a throne room. Ijep sits there looking bored. Suddenly a demon is thrown through the thrown doors. The demon rolls in front of Ijep unconscious. Ijep looks down on the demon with no interest then looks back up to see Eve walk through the entrance. Hanuman and Craig with Morgan in his arms appear behind her

Ijep - I knew you'd come for the antidote eventually. I must ask what took you so long? I was getting bored

Eve - Your guards at the door blocked our way.

Craig and Hanuman, while still keeping their eyes on Ijep, move slowly off to the side.

Cut to Ijep getting up off his throne and slowly walks over to the wall and picks up four swords off the mantle the he slowly walks towards Eve swinging his swords around.

Ijep - I don't care about your little friends. They can have the antidote for all I care. This is between you and me.

Eve - I don't even know you.

Ijep - Your mother killed my father.

Eve - That's not my fault

Ijep - If your mother was still alive I would kill her but she is not and you are. Therefore it is my right to kill you

Eve - An eye for an eye and the whole world goes blind. You can't hold me responsible for my mother's actions

Ijep - SOMEONE WILL PAY FOR MY FATHER'S DEATH!(points all four swords at Eve) And it will be you

Ijep let's out a whistle and a beautiful gold and blue flying carpet flies from Ijep treasury. He jumps on it and flies right towards Eve.

COMMERCIAL

Eve flips backward causing Ijep to miss her. Ijep makes a u-turn and flies towards Eve again. Eve runs up the side of a wall and flips over Ijep causing him to miss again. Eve jumps up and grabs two swords off the mantle. Ijep flies at her again and he and Eve clash swords. Ijep knocks one of the swords out of Eve's hand and across to the other side of the room. Eve jumps up high and kicks Ijep in the face. As Eve lands on the ground Ijep flies up behind her and slashes her along her side. She screams and falls to the ground. She grabs her side and looks up to Ijep who is smiling and laughing.

Ijep - If I don't get to kill you at least the poison will

Ijep scowls and flies at her. She rolls under his flying carpet. As she gets back up she notices a silver red and blue carpet slightly floating in Ijep's treasury. Ijep soars towards her again screaming. Eve jumps up high above him and kicks him in his back causing him to tumble off his carpet. Eve then runs and flips over to the flying carpet. She jumps on and motions it forward. She has a little trouble balancing but manages to keep steady. Ijep runs back over to his own carpet and gets back on. Eve swoops down on the carpet and picks up the other sword. Ijep and Eve charge at each other. Eve flips over Ijep as the carpet soars underneath him and Ijep ends up swiping at air. Eve lands on the other side of Ijep, on the carpet. She then swings around and kicks Ijep's legs out from under him. Ijep falls and grabs on to his carpet to keep from falling off. He gets up on to his carpet again and glares at Eve.

Cut to Craig still holding Morgan near another treasury. Hanuman is searching through the treasury and opens a gold box. He finds a bottle and sniffs its contents. He looks to Craig and nods.

Hanuman - It is the antidote

Craig - (calls out to Eve) Eve we found it!!

Cut back to Eve and Ijep on the flying carpets.

Ijep - GUARDS SIEZE THEM!!

Several demon guards jumps out from nowhere and run to attack Craig and Hanuman as Ijep soars out the window on his carpet.

Eve soars out the window after him.

Cut back to Craig and Hanuman. Craig sets a weak and nearly unconscious Morgan down and places her against some rolled up rugs.

Craig - Just stay here. You'll get that antidote soon enough.

Morgan sees a demon come up behind Craig. She points quickly and Craig kicks his foot up and kicks the demon back.

Craig - Thanks

Craig jumps up and catches the demon between his legs and flips the demon over. Craig then swings his legs around and kicks the demon again before flipping up. As the demon propels himself back up, Craig swings around and clothes lines the demon back down. Another demon attacks Craig from behind and tries to ram him into a wall. Craig just runs up the wall and flips backward then swings around and kicks the demon head first into the wall. Then two demon guards run to attack Craig on either side of him. Craig jumps up and does a splits in the air kicking them both back and as they run to attack again Craig ducks their swipes and bangs their heads together. Craig then grabs a sword and slices both their heads off.

Cut to Hanuman who grabs a spear off the wall. Hanuman spins the spear around and hits one of the demons back then swipes the demons feet out from under him with the end of the spear. Hanuman then jabs the spear into the ground spinning around to kick three more demon guards back. Hanuman sets him self back down as the three demons begin the attack him again. Hanuman drops the spear to his foot and kicks the spear back up to knock two of the demon in the face before it bounces back to him. Hanuman catches the spear and spin around and hits the last demon guard in the side then spinning around the other way and whacking the demon over the head causing it to flip over unconscious. Hanuman sets the spear back in it's place and looks at Craig.

Craig - Nice moves

Hanuman - You too.

Hanuman walks over and grabs the bottle and walks over to Morgan and put the bottle to her lips as she drinks slowly.

Cut to Eve and Ijep on their flying carpet floating high in the sky above Ijep's palace. Eve floats over to him with her swords and she sways back a bit looking a little disoriented.

Ijep - Poison taking effect or are you just afraid of heights?!

Ijep swipes Eve with his sword and as she tried to duck them Ijep kicks Eve in the stomach knocking her off the carpet. Eve drops her sword and grabs on to both edges of the carpet creating a parachute to slow her fall. She flips up kicking Ijep causing him to fall on his carpet giving Eve time to flip back up on hers. She sways on her carpet feeling dizzy then finally lunges at Ijep knocking both him and her off the carpets sending them falling through the palace roof and onto the floor.

Cut to Eve and Ijep laying on the palace floor.

Craig - EVE!!

Ijep jumps up suddenly and picks up four of his swords and he walks over to Eve who is having trouble getting up. She is still on her knees when Ijep looms over her. She looks up wearily at him

Ijep - You fought well but your fate is inevitable. I will ease your passing rather then let you die slowly through the poison. Do you have any last words?

Eve - (weakly) Do you have a son?

Ijep - (confused) No

Eve - Good

Eve thrusts up her foot and kicks a sword out of one of Ijep's hands. Eve catches the sword and slices off Ijep's leg. He crashes to ground screaming as Eve gets up and swings around and cuts of Ijep's head.

Eve then drops the sword and falls to the ground. Hanuman rushes over with the antidote and lifts up Eve's head gently so she can drink it.

Hanuman - The Line of Messengers and Eli's word is safe and another demon has left this world, his evil gone with him.

Fade to that evening outside Ijep's palace. Eve and Morgan are okay. There is a huge fire where Craig, Hanuman, Eve and Morgan are tossing the dead demon bodies into. After Morgan tosses the last one in she walks over to Hanuman.

Morgan - Hanuman. I'm really sorry for what I did to you today. But even after that you risked your life to save mine. Thank you

Hanuman - You were following your way as I was mine. Listen to Eve, go with her, fulfill your destiny with her. It will all come full circle in the end.

Morgan - (smiles) Do you always talk in riddles?

Hanuman smiles back at Morgan as they both walk over to Eve and Craig.

Eve - Thank you for today. I couldn't have done it without your help

Hanuman - You do not yet realize the power you have Eve. More than just your love you have powers beyond comprehension.

Eve - I have a daunting mission. Can one person really change the world?

Hanuman - It all starts with one person. It can create a chain reaction. You cared enough about Morgan to save her today even putting your own life at risk. Now you have inspired her to help others. You must believe in yourself and your way.

Eve - My way?

Hanuman - Your way is life. You protect life and the right to choose. But remember, in doing this, do not try to be like Eli or like your Mother or like Ewan. It is better to die following your own way then to live following someone else's. The words of Krishna to your mother.

Eve - (smiles) I knew there was a reason why I was still here. Maybe it was to stop Ijep, finish what my mother started but I think it was to find you, to hear your wisdom, to understand some answers. Thank you

Hanuman bows slightly and leaves Eve, Craig and Morgan at the fire. Morgan turns to Craig and Eve

Morgan - Where are you off to now?

Eve - Home. New York. (looks to Craig) I think it's time.

Craig - (looks to Morgan) You're more than welcome to join us if you like.

Morgan - Maybe I will. But not right now. I need to go back to my home and tie up some loose ends.

Craig - (pulls a card out of his back pocket) Well if you are in the New York area, look us up. That's the address of our friend's centre, Eve has an apartment there.

Morgan - Thanks, I just might do that. See you around.

Morgan walks off as the huge fire dies down and Craig and Eve pick up their bags and head down an opposite path.

Craig - I'm sorry about what I said about maybe just leaving Morgan to die. I wanted to protect you but you were right. We protect life and every life is important.

Eve - I suppose you were just thinking about the greater good. But this is what I do Craig. You heard Hanuman. I must follow my path to protect life without compromise.

Craig - And I would never ask you to compromise your path. But I may remind you to think of the bigger picture.

Eve - And I want that. I want your perspective and that of Alex and James and Jeff. I'm stronger with you all of you by my side.

Craig - (nods) It'll be good to get home.

Eve - I agree. (thinks for a moment) I wonder what awaits us when we get home.

Craig - Why? You worried?

Eve - There have been many warnings and words encouraging me to be strong. Sounds like preparations for a coming storm.

Craig - We'll get through it. We always do.

Eve - (laughs a little and shakes her head) Maybe I'm just being a paranoid. I'm sure Alex has everything in hand and there's nothing to worry about.

Fade from Eve to Alex back in New York city. She is standing on the terrace outside her loft. The winds are blowing fiercely, there is thunder and lightening in the sky, a storm is beginning to rage and Alex is there embracing it all.

Voices - ALEX!!!!

Alex's eyes snap open is fear!

fade to black
