TEASER

FADE IN: INT. LEVEL

A fire fight is going on. Hel and Sarge take on 3 Betrayers who don't look like they're going down any time soon. Cleo is bent down by a man who has been shot and is dying quickly.

CLEOPATRA
Hang in there, we can heal you at our lab.

SARGE
This isn't gonna work, Hel. Shooting them from one side, I mean.

HEL
Got a plan?

SARGE
Yeah.

Sarge shoots her webbing up and swings into the Betrayers, seperating them before she lands on the other level across the shaft and starts firing from behind. The Betrayers fire on her and Hel the best they can. Cleo joins in the fire fight after the man dies. Suddenly she faints. Hel looks worried.

HEL
Cleo!

She can't stop firing, but continues to look back at Cleopatra.

HEL
Cleo!!

FADE CUT TO: CLEO'S DREAM

EXT. BATTLE FIELD - ANCIENT TIMES. DAY

The sun is rising on this battle as an army of Amazons charge an army of Cave Men. The battle is fierce. In the midst of it all we see the Red Head Amazon, Amarice. She fights as good as she usually does, but doesn't notice a man coming up behind her on his horse and plunging his sword into her back. She falls down dead.

FLASH

Cleo comes out of it and wakes up. Sarge and Hel help her to her feet. She sees Betrayer parts laying everywhere.

HEL
Are you all right? What happend?

CLEOPATRA
I have no idea.

END TEASER

ACT ONE

INT. LAB

Cleo is being scanned by Mauser as Hel and Sarge converse by the computer console.

SARGE
She just fell right over. She was fighting just like usual, and then she just collapsed, why?

HEL
We can figure that out later after we figure out why Creegan sent those Betrayers after us.

SARGE
Like he needs a reason? I'm more worried about Cleo.

HEL
Mauser..anything?

MAUSER
She's perfectly fine.

CLEOPATRA
Told you.

Cleo gets up and walks over to them.

CLEOPATRA
Guys I saw something when I blacked out.

SARGE
What do you mean you saw something?

CLEOPATRA
Well at first it felt like a dream, but then it became more realistic. Like a memory.

SARGE
What was it about?

CLEOPATRA
I'm not sure. But I had long red hair, and I think I was dressed like an Amazon.

SARGE
An Amazon? What's that?

CLEOPATRA
They were around way before me, they were a group of Warrior Women from ancient times.

HEL
Uh huh. So you had a dream that you were a red-haired Amazon, and....?

CLEOPATRA
It wasn't just a dream. It was a memory. One I've had before.

HEL
Like a deja vu?

CLEOPATRA
Sort of. See one night I had a party at my apartment, and there was this guy there who could supposedly put me in a trance and let me remember who I was in a past life. He did and I saw that same woman.

HEL
Past life? Huh?

CLEOPATRA
You don't believe in reincarnation?

They give her a questioning look.

CLEOPATRA
Some people believe that when you die, you get to live again as someone else.

HEL
Why would you want to do that?

CLEOPATRA
It's not like you have much of a choice. Hel, that friend of yours who lives under the shafts...

HEL
Mogasa?

CLEOPATRA
Yeah. Can we go to her.

HEL
Cleo, we're not going to bother Mognasa just because you had a bad dream.

CLEOPATRA
No one said you had to come with me. I can go by myself.

Cleo begins to walk out of the lab.

HEL
Fine, we'll come with you.

Hel follows Cleo, Sarge follows Hel.

CUT TO: INT. PEACEHOUSE.

Hel, Sarge, and Cleo come through from the ceiling, their rocket boots let them land safely.

MOGNASA
Welcome. Hel, how are you?

HEL
I'm fine, how are you, Mognasa?

MOGNASA
As good as always.

HEL
We're here because--

MOGNASA
--Cleopatra requested to see me. It's good that you all came. Please, sit.

They sit.

MOGNASA
In order to understand your future, you must know of your past.

SARGE (Sarcastic)
I know my past, I didn't lose my memory.

MOGNASA
Your past goes farther back than just this lifetime, Rose.

SARGE
Don't call me that.

MOGNASA
Have you ever told anyone why you don't like that name?

SARGE
No, but if you know it and you do, I'll make sure it's the last thing you ever say.

HEL
Sarge. Okay, Mognasa. Explain the before this lifetime thing.

MOGNASA
Surely you know of reincarnation. Where you are reborn several times to learn all you can before moving on to a higher plane of existence.

SARGE
And how has this been proven?

MOGNASA
It hasn't, it's basically just a belief. A valid belief. There are those who have claimed to see who they were in a past life.

HEL
You said something about that when I first met you. That you were a Roman Empress turned Prophet.

MOGNASA
Yes. But that is only one of my past lives. Before that I was an evil warrior named Callisto. But anyway, who would like to go first?

HEL
Go first?

MOGNASA
Past Life Regression. Who wants to see their past life first.

SARGE
We didn't come here for this. Why did we come here?

CLEOPATRA
Because I know what I saw was one of my past lives. I want to know why I saw it.

MOGNASA
Cleopatra, you should be first.

Cleo scoots up to her. Mognasa places a crystal on the altar that is between them.

MOGNASA
Stare into the crystal and concentrate.

Cleo does.

MOGNASA
Hear only the sound of your heartbeat, your breath, and my voice. Find her Cleopatra. Find who you used to be.

FLASH

CUT TO: INT. AMAZON INITIATION HUT - ANCIENT TIMES. DAY

Amarice is being initiated. A symbol is drawn on her forehead by Yakut.

YAKUT
Welcome to the tribe, Amarice.

AMARICE
Thank you.

She bows and then steps away so other new recruits can be initiated.

CUT TO: INT. BATTLE FIELD - ANCIENT TIMES. DAY

The sun is rising on this battle as an army of Amazons charge an army of Cave Men. The battle is fierce. In the midst of it all we see the Red Head Amazon, Amarice. She fights as good as she usually does, but doesn't notice a man coming up behind her on his horse and plunging his sword into her back. She falls down dead.

FLASH!

Cleo comes out of it.

CLEOPATRA
I saw it again!

MOGNASA
The vision from earlier?

CLEOPATRA
Yes. Plus some new stuff. And...Lily was there.

SARGE
Lily?!

CLEOPATRA
Only in that life time, her name was Yakut, and she was a Shamaness.

MOGNASA
What progress. Something's going on inside your soul. No one can know anything that clearly their first time.

HEL
Then why is she?

MOGNASA
Perhaps this is around the time when she died in her previous life as Amarice.

SARGE
Amarice?

CLEOPATRA
That was my name, please wear it out. But wait, that doesn't make sense. This never happend before.

MOGNASA
Your life is different now, Cleopatra. You fight, you're now at risk of being killed, perhaps your soul is trying to warn you.

HEL
I agree with your soul, sometimes you go into battle way too hard.

CLEOPATRA
I think you have me confused for Sarge.

SARGE
She's got a point, that usually is me.

HEL
What else can you tell us, Mognasa?

MOGNASA
Not much. People can remember something from their past lives at anytime, but I don't think it would make them black out. But I do think perhaps it would be wise if you let Hel and Sarge handle the fighting.

CLEOPATRA
Why? So I can be that dumb blonde again? I was an Amazon, why do I have to be a weak little girl in this life.

MOGNASA
You're not weak, Cleo. And deep down you know it. Your heart is very big, and you show it to the world. That takes courage, and sometimes brings its pain. You've faced more this year than Hel and Sarge have their whole lives, well to a different degree anyway. You're taking your anger out on any bad guy you can pommel.

CLEOPATRA
Is that a bad thing?

HEL
It could get you killed!

MOGNASA
Trust me, Cleopatra. The path you're trying to go on was not meant for you.

CLEOPATRA
Can't I control my own destiny?

MOGNASA
By fighting you are not controlling your destiny, you are sealing your fate. That is what your soul is trying to warn you about.

CLEOPATRA
I just want to be useful, I want to be somebody.

SARGE
You are. I've told you that before, Cleo. You're as useful and as much a part of this mission as me or Hel or even Voice.

Cleo thinks it over.

CLEOPATRA
I guess you're right.

HEL
Think of all the times you saved our lives without fighting. You used your dancing to get us into the game to save that girl.

SARGE
You saved us from evil Raina, every time.

HEL
You outsmarted Creegen and the Bailies when we were trapped in the Nexus.

SARGE
You risked your life to save that Pod, which later became very useful.

HEL
As well as just plain being there for us as our friend. You're more important than you think, Cleo.

SARGE
Which is why we don't want to see you get hurt.

Cleo smiles.

CLEOPATRA
Aw, you guys.

She turns around and hugs them. Mognasa smiles, pleased.

MOGNASA
I'm glad that I could help.

HEL
Thank you Mognasa.

CUT TO: INT. LEVEL.

Hel, Sarge, and Cleopatra laugh as they walk along the level to be met by a group of mutants.

MUTANT
Well Well Well. What have we here? A trio of some hotties, I see.

Sarge aims her gauntlet.

SARGE
Don't even start. I'll blow your head off.

MUTANT
Hey boys, go over there and fetch us some dinner.

The mutant gang charges them. Cleo backs up and hides behind a couple of barrels as Hel and Sarge go into battle.

One of them comes at Sarge. She swings her leg up and over, sending the thing into a wall. Another one comes at her. She plants her palm into its face and grabs its head before throwing it into the other one.

Hel fires her gauntlet, oddly missing every single shot. She then kicks up, nailing one in the stomach. He bends over, then she karate chops his shoulder blade. He falls. She steps on him and pushes off into an impressive mid-air cartwheel, kicking a mutant twice as she lands. She spins around and kicks him again. One comes from behind and grabs Hel's head, bashing it into a wall. She is stunned. Cleo becomes worried.

Sarge is outdone by a mutant and is sent to the ground hard.

Cleo is pissed. She jumps over the barrels and starts firing her gauntlet the best she can. She hits a few, and misses a few. They start to charge her. One comes at her, she punches it and kicks the other one also coming at her. She grabs their heads and bashes them together. They fall. Suddenly she is hit by what seems like an invisiible force.

CLEOPATRA
What the Hell?

A large stab wound appears in the upper part of Cleo's back from out of no where. It looks like she was stabbed by someone above her. Blood pours from the wound as she screams in such pain and collapses to the floor. Hel and Sarge get up and start firing at the mutants, easily taking them out now. They go to help Cleo.

HEL
Hold on, Cleo. (To Sarge) We have to get her to the lab, NOW!

They pick her up and leave.

END OF ACT ONE

ACT TWO

FADE IN: INT. LAB

Cleo rests in the healing tube. She lays on her stomach as the lasers go to work to heal her. They pull her out. She slowly sits up.

SARGE
Are you okay?

CLEOPATRA
Yeah, I think. God, I never felt anything like that. I could feel the blade scraping against my spine.

Hel and Sarge look at each other, then at Cleo.

SARGE
Cleo...I don't know how to say this....

HEL
None of the mutants stabbed you.

CLEOPATRA
What? Then who did?

HEL
Nothing. The wound just appeared out of nowhere.

CLEOPATRA
That's impossible.

HEL
It happend.

Cleo thinks a minute, then has a flashback of Amarice being stabbed.

CLEOPATRA
Oh, my God!

Cleo gets up. Hel and Sarge do too.

SARGE
What is it?

CLEOPATRA
That's exactly where Amarice was stabbed when she died.

SARGE
Oh, great, here we go.

Sarge goes off to another part of the lab.

CLEOPATRA
Hel, that's exactly how it was in my vision.

HEL
Cleo, come on. Don't be crazy.

CLEOPATRA
Look, I know all you guys down here are like all scientific and everything, but that doesn't mean that weird stuff doesn't happen. Just because it's the year 2526, and everything has to do with robots and lasers doesn't mean that the spirit world stopped existing!

HEL
Cleo, Cleo! You're going farther than you need to with this. Let's sit at the table and talk about this.

Pan over to Sarge and Mauser.

They're working side by side, but ackwardly aren't speaking.

SARGE
So...

MAUSER
Yes?

SARGE
How ya doing?

MAUSER
I am fine.

SARGE
Okay, look Mauser. We can't ignore this. We kissed even after the love juice was out of our system. We have feelings for each other, we can't ignore that.

MAUSER
Sarge, you forget. I'm a robot. A machine, nothing more.

SARGE
You saying Robots can't feel?

MAUSER
You know they can't

SARGE
That's BS, Mauser, and you know it. Cleo's betrayer double felt a friendship with Cleo. That Betrayer with the family on the ASE level that Hel had to kill, he felt something for his family. Don't give me, Robots don't feel things. You can't kiss me like that and say it was a glitch in the system.

MAUSER
Perhaps that is what it was.

SARGE
So you really want out relationship to stay plutonic? After what we had?

MAUSER
What we had was the result of a drug, nothing more. I can't give you anything Sarge. I don't have a heart, I can't give you a child. All I can give you is a nice "roll in the sack" as Cleo puts it.

SARGE
Yeah you can give me that. And you can comfort me. You can hold me and keep me warm. You can protect my life and I can protect yours. You can do more for me than any human can. I'm opening myself up here, Mauser. And you know I don't do that a lot. Do you still want to throw away what we could've had?

Mauser is silent.

Sarge walks away, hurt.

Hel and Cleo sit at the table. Cleo is upset and Sarge hides her pain as she sits down.

SARGE
So, what's going on over here?

HEL
Cleo thinks that it was her past life trying to warn her again.

CLEOPATRA
I didn't think fighting to save the lives of my friends was wrong.

SARGE
This is crazy.

CLEOPATRA
How else do you explain a sword wound showing up in my back, right where Amarice was stabbed?

SARGE
Cleo, that's not possible.

CLEOPATRA
Sarge, why can't you believe anything?

SARGE
Why do you have to believe everything some strange woman tells you?

HEL
All right, you two. Speaking of that strange woman, we better go see her again.

CUT TO: SHAFT

Hel, Sarge, and Cleo fall towards the bottom, and fall through.

CUT TO: INT. PEACEHOUSE

Hel, Sarge, and Cleopatra land before the woman.

MOGNASA
Aren't I popular. I haven't had this many visits in one day since 2046.

HEL
We've got a bigger past life problem than we thought, Mognasa.

CLEOPATRA
I almost died in the same way as Amarice. A stab wound appeared out of no where on my back.

MOGNASA
My God, are you all right?!

CLEOPATRA
Yeah, it's all good, but why did that happen?

MOGNASA
It may be as I feared.

CLEOPATRA
What?!

MOGNASA
Your past life may be trying to live again. It's not unheard of, but very few spirits attempt it. She must be very unhappy where ever she's at and she's trying to break out and come back.

CLEOPATRA
How do I stop her?

MOGNASA
I'm afraid you can't. She must go back to the spirit world willingly.

CLEOPATRA
Great.

Mognasa looks at Sarge.

MOGNASA
Sarge.

SARGE
Hmm?

MOGNASA
Come here.

Sarge rolls her eyes then comes over to Mognasa and sits before her.

Mognasa places the same crystal on the altar.

MOGNASA
I'm seeing something odd in your aura. Look into the crystal and concentrate.

Sarge looks up to Hel for an "okay." Hel nods, so Sarge complies.

FLASH!

CUT TO: EXT. WOODS. DAY

Cyane flies across the tries to be stabbed with a sharp branch that goes all the way through her.

FLASH!

Sarge comes out of it.

SARGE
I saw something.

MOGNASA
From your past life?

SARGE
I think so. I was killed by being flung onto a tree branch that went all the way through me.

MOGNASA
You mean, Cyane was.

SARGE
Cyane?

MOGNASA
The famous Amazon Queen Cyane.

SARGE
An Amazon Queen? I don't think so.

MOGNASA
Why is it so hard for you to accept that there are secrets out there?

SARGE
Secrets that you happen to know.

Sarge stands up.

SARGE
I bet she's the one that's doing this to Cleo!

HEL
Sarge!

SARGE
Think about it, Hel! She came here, had a vision and then had a mysterious stab wound show up out of nowhere.

HEL
She had the vision before we came here.

SARGE
We'll see if I'm right if any tree branches try to impale me after we're gone.

Sarge leaves. Cleo follows. Hel stays.

MOGNASA
Hel.

HEL
Yes?

Mognasa raises her hand and Hel is magnetically pulled to the wall hard.

HEL
Ah! What are you doing?

MOGNASA
I tried to see your aura for the first time, Hel. I see nothing. Every human being has an aura.

Mognasa pulls Hel closer.

MOGNASA
What...are...you?

HEL
Let me go!

She lets go, and Hel runs out.

CUT TO: INT. LEVEL

HEL
Okay, you guys go back to the lab. There's something I've gotta do.

SARGE
Okay.

Cleo and Sarge shoot their webbing and go up the shaft.

Hel steps aside.

HEL
Voice...we've got a problem, have you been listening?

VOICE
Yes. You know where to go.

CUT TO: INT. LAB

Sarge is going around checking lab equipment. Everything is quiet untiil...

SARGE
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A large hole appears in Sarge's midsection that goes all the way through. Mauser and Cleo run to her as she falls down dead.

END OF ACT TWO

ACT THREE

Sarge's body is put into the healing tube. Mauser adjusts a lever to full power before activating the tube.

The lights around the tube is so intense that Sarge cannot be seen.

MAUSER
A wound like that will take a long time to heal, but I think she'll be all right.

CLEOPATRA
I should call Hel. (Into Gauntlet) Hel, do you read me?

Hel enters the lab, now wearing the braids instead of the wig from "Juggernaut Down."

HEL
I'm here, what's up?

CLEOPATRA
Sarge was hurt, she's healing now.

HEL
What happend?

CLEOPATRA
That's what you had to go do? Change your hair?

HEL
Huh? Oh, yeah. So what happend?

CLEOPATRA
Her past life happend.

HEL
A tree branch went through her?

CLEOPATRA
Big hole appeared out of no where. I never heard her scream like that.

HEL
We better go back to Mognasa.

CLEOPATRA
Are you crazy? We're not going back to that woman, she is the one that's causing this.

HEL
We don't know that.

CLEOPATRA
Why hasn't it happend to you yet? Because you didn't look into the crystal. I'm telling you this woman has an evil plan to kill us. She almost killed me and Sarge.

HEL
Fine. To convince you that it's not Mognasa, I'll go down there and look into her shiny crystal.

CLEOPATRA
We don't know how your past life died, it could be something that kills you instantly before we can get you into the healing tube. We can't risk it just to prove a point.

HEL
I'm going anyway.

Hel walks out.

CLEOPATRA
Am I not heard?

CUT TO: INT. PEACE HOUSE.

Hel lands in front of Mognasa.

MOGNASA
I told you....wait...you're not who you were before.

HEL
I just changed my hair.

MOGNASA
You can't lie to me, Hel. I can see into your soul. I will not tell them though.

HEL
Thanks. I can't stay long, I just need to see my past life.

Mognasa has already placed the crystal on the altar.

Hel sits down and looks into it. Nothing happends for a while, then all of sudden.

FLASH

INT. SHIP. DAY - ANCIENT TIMES

Nebula pinches Iolaus' butt and smiles.

FLASH

Hel is back.

HEL
I saw something for a second.

MOGNASA
That was Nebula. She was a friend to the legendary Hercules and Iolaus.

HEL
Wow, I remember them.

MOGNASA
Very little though. Hel...Sarge and Cleopatra are in trouble. Creegan's forces have gained access to the lab.

Hel runs out.

MOGNASA
It won't be long now.

Creegan emerges from a dark corner with Mognasa. His hand over her mouth.

Mognasa sitting at the altar turns into a green type mutant.

CREEGAN
You sure it will work? I will be rid of the Voice team?

CAMELOE
When their past lives take over completely, they will not know this world. Therefore they will no longer be a threat.

Creegan pinches Mognasa's cheek.

CREEGAN
I bet you wish you had a better security system. You know what...I think I'm going to take you with me. Come on, Cameloe, let's go.

They leave and take Mognasa with them.

When they exit, the Peacehouse Disappears!

CUT TO: INT. LAB

Hel runs in, gauntlet ready. Everything is quiet. Sarge is awake and sitting up. They look at Hel like she's crazy.

HEL
Sarge, Cleo! Where's Creegan's army, are you guys okay?

CLEOPATRA
Creegan's army never attacked us.

HEL
Mognasa said...

SARGE
There she goes again. Hel, you need to stay away from Mognasa.

HEL
I saw my past life.

CLEOPATRA
What did you get?

HEL
A pirate.

CLEOPATRA
Not so bad.

HEL
I think I was a bit of a slut too.

SARGE
Nothing like you.

Hel smirks.

MAUSER
Hel, we've got a problem here. 3 Betrayers outside. They've found us.

HEL
Charge your gauntlets team.

CUT TO: EXT. LAB ENTRANCE

The 3 Betrayers fire on the door. Out comes Hel, Sarge, and Cleo ready for a fight.

HEL
Sheilds Up!

A blast of Purple, Yellow, and Green covers the team then disappears.

SARGE
Remember Cleo, defense only.

CLEOPATRA
Gotcha.

Cleo backs up and Hel and Sarge start exchanging blasts with the Betrayers. The sheilds take the impact of the Betrayer Fire, as the Betrayers are thrown back by the freshly charged gauntlet fire.

Sarge jumps into a kick and nails her Betrayer right in the nose. She then punches him in the stomach, and elbows him in the nose again. She starts firing and sends him flying down the shafts. One down, two to go.

One of the starts coming towards Cleo. She starts firing but it doesn't seem to help. Sarge grabs the Betrayer and throws him off the level. He then floats back up onto the level.

Hel has taken out her Betrayer and now fires upon the two that are left. Cleo joins Hel and Sarge. The two Betrayers are no match for the purple, yellow, and green blasts that penetrate their stomachs. Hel aims her gauntlet upward then fires, putting a hole in the Betrayer's head. He short circuits with electricity flowing from his wound. Hel rolls to the right and fires at the side of his head, sending the electricity into the other Betrayer. They die together and fall down the shaft.

The team watches as they go down.

CUT TO: INT. LAB

Hel, Sarge, and Cleo enter the lab. Hel walks away.

SARGE
Hel...are you okay?

Hel turns around and looks at them like she's never met them before.

NEBULA
What name did you call me?

SARGE
Yours..Hel.

NEBULA
I'm not Hel. My name is Nebula.

SARGE
Oh...very funny, Hel.

NEBULA
I told you I'm not Hel. Where am I?

CLEOPATRA
I think she's serious.

SARGE
What? This is getting way too weird for me.

Mauser makes Nebula jump when he comes up to her with a hand-held scanning device.

NEBULA
What are you doing to me?

MAUSER
I simple neuro-scan.

He reads the device.

MAUSER
In her mind, she believes she is this Nebula.

NEBULA
I am Nebula.

CLEOPATRA
Her past life. She's come home.

SARGE
Okay, how do we fix this? I highly doubt putting her in a healing tube is going to help.

CLEOPATRA
I don't know. We could go back to Mognasa.

Sarge gives Cleo a look.

CUT TO: INT. BOTTOM OF SHAFT

Nebula holds on to Sarge's back as they all fall to the bottom.

Sarge eyes the bottom of the Shaft carefully.

At the last minute, she shoots her webbing up, grabs Cleo and they go up to land on few levels up.

CLEOPATRA
What did you do that for?

Sarge picks up a rock and throws it onto the bottom of the shaft. It doesn't go through.

Cleo checks her gauntlet.

CLEOPATRA
Are we at the right Shaft?

SARGE
Yeah, we are. The Peacehouse isn't there anymore. Which only means one thing...

CLEOPATRA
What?

SARGE
Either Mognasa left or...she's dead.

CLEOPATRA
Mognasa can't die. And who would be able to enter the peacehouse to capture her?

SARGE
Creegan. I think he's behind this somehow.

CLEOPATRA
How could he?

SARGE
Maybe he grabbed an innocent person and went in with them like he did with Hel that one time.

CLEOPATRA
So, what we go to Creegan now?

SARGE
You got any better ideas? We have to get Hel back to normal somehow.

CLEOPATRA
We can't take on the entire Bailey Command without Hel.

SARGE
Then we'll have to show Nebula how to fire a gauntlet.

NEBULA
Doesn't look easy.

SARGE
It is. Just point and shoot.

CUT TO: INT. BAILEY COMMAND - HALLWAY. DAY

Sarge, Cleo, and Nebula run down a hallway. Suddenly Cleo faints.

SARGE
Cleo?

Sarge kneels down to help her.

She wakes up.

AMARICE
I did it!

Amarice gets up, excited.

SARGE
Cleo?

AMARICE
I'm Amarice. I finally managed to get through.

Sarge aims her gauntlet.

SARGE
I've had enough of this. You two better get out of those bodies otherwise I'm going shoot you both.

AMARICE
No. I didn't want to die, okay? I have to finish my mission.

SARGE
And what was that?

AMARICE
I have to finish the battle. The battle that was unfinished.

SARGE (To Nebula)
What about you?

NEBULA
I don't know why I'm here. I died an old woman, I lived a long life.

SARGE
Then it must be something Mognasa did to bring you here. We better...

Sarge falls down.

AMARICE
I knew it! She's coming back too!

NEBULA
Who?

AMARICE
Cyane, the famous Amazon Queen.

Cyane wakes up and flips to her feet.

CYANE
What's going on?

AMARICE
It worked. You're alive again to finish the battle.

CYANE
The battle?

AMARICE
You know...if an Amazon dies in battle she must finish it, either in the physical world or the spritual plane.

CYANE
Oh, yes.

She looks at herself.

CYANE
Who's body is this?

AMARICE
They're the bodies of our reincarnated selves.

CYANE
Oh. Yes. We're here to get rid of the Bailies.

AMARICE
It should be one Hell of a fight. We have to save a woman named Mognasa.

NEBULA
We should get going if we're going to do that.

They continue forward and see a woman up ahead. Long, dark hair. Wearing black leather.

AMARICE
Xena?

END OF ACT THREE

ACT FOUR

The woman turns around. It's Raina.

RAINA
Afraid not. But I know who you are. Nebula, Cyane, and Amarice. Nebula you are here against your will. But Cyane and Amarice...you have unfinished business. Finishing that business will let the part of you, that isn't Sarge and Cleo, cross-over into a higher plane of existence. I'm here to make sure you succeed to get my frie...my associates back.

CUT TO: INT. BAILEY COMMAND

Mognasa is tied up with Creegan checking her out.

MOGNASA
You have destroyed the Peacehouse forever, Creegan. You've made me mortal. I hate you!

Creegan giggles wickedly.

CREEGAN
And now you're mine.

NEBULA
Think again!

Creegan turns around. The team enters.

CREEGAN
Hel. No...Nebula.

NEBULA
You will not kill her.

CREEGAN
You and your Amazons don't have what it takes to stop me. And Raina...are you experiencing your past life too?

RAINA
No.

CREEGAN
A pity, I would've liked to meet Ephiny.

AMARICE (To herself)
Ephiny?

RAINA
Who?

CREEGAN
Nevermind. Get them!

The mutants attack. The team fights with grace and style, without even using the gauntlet. They easily take out the pathetic mutants.

CYANE
Creegan, you're mine!

Cyane jumps into a flip and faces Creegan. He easily defeats her and sends her flying across the cave into a wall.

Amarice helps her up, then fires her gauntlet at Creegan. His sheild protects him.

A huge fire fight ensues between the team and the Betrayers working at Bailey Command.

RAINA
Sheild up!

AMARICE
How?

RAINA
The green button on your gauntlet!

They push the buttons and sheilds come up. The fight gets more intense, so much that we can't make it out with all the colorful lights flying around and things exploding. The Betrayers start to whither out and die. One falls, then three, then six. Nebula looks at Creegan and fires both of her gauntlets. It hurts Creegan a little.

CREEGAN
Cameloe. Release her and bring Hel back.

Cameloe emerges from a dark corner and waves his hand. Hel is back.

HEL
What's going on?

CREEGAN
Hey, Hel.

Hel looks up and sees Mognasa.

HEL
Mognasa?

Creegan jams a knife into Mognasa's stomach. She screams.

HEL
NO!!!!!!!!!!

Hel jumps up into a flip and gets to Mognasa as she falls to the floor. Hel holds her.

HEL
Hold on, we can heal you at our lab.

The battle is now over.

HEL
Sarge!

Cyane doesn't move.

CYANE
Me?

HEL
Yeah, who else is named Sarge?

RAINA
She's her past life as Cyane, Hel.

MOGNASA
Hel...

Hel turns back to Mognasa.

MOGNASA
Everyone owes a death. It is my time. Long passed, actually. The peacehouse was created by me because I was afraid to die. I'm not afraid anymore.

HEL
Please hold on. Raina, help me!

MOGNASA
No! It's okay. And Hel...you can trust them. You can tell them your secret. You don't have to be afraid anymore either.

Mognasa dies. A tear falls from Hel's face. She puts Mognasa down and walks out.

HEL
Take her body to the incinerator.

Raina addresses the two Amazons.

RAINA
Well sister Amazons...you won the battle. Why not let Sarge and Cleopatra win the war?

Cyane and Amarice look at each other, then a presence leaves them and Sarge and Cleo are back.

SARGE
Whoa...that was one hell of a...thing.

RAINA
You all right?

CLEOPATRA
I feel like I was dreaming or something. Where's Hel?

RAINA
I don't know. She stormed out of here. We have to take Mognasa's body to the incinerator.

Sarge and Cleo see Mognasa's body.

CLEOPATRA
Oh, no.

RAINA
She was captured and killed by Creegan. I know you guys are going to make him pay for this and all his other crimes some day. If you'll excuse me, I don't want to stick around here too long, I might actually start being friendly towards you guys.

Raina rolls her eyes and leaves.

CLEOPATRA
Another one bites the dust at the hands of Creegan.

SARGE
We'll get him Cleo...I promise.

CUT TO: INT. LAB. - LATER

Hel enters, now wearing the wig from "Juggernaut Down" instead of the braids.

HEL
Hey guys.

SARGE
Where have you been?

HEL
I was grieving. I'm okay I guess.

SARGE
I don't know about you two, but I'm definately happy to be myself again.

CLEOPATRA
I heard that.

HEL
It was weird.

CLEOPATRA
So, what's next?

HEL
Nothing you'll be fighting in.

CLEOPATRA
Come on, Hel. I'm not haunted by a past life anymore, I can fight.

SARGE
We would still rather you took it easy from now on.

CLEOPATRA
I can take care of myself.

SARGE
We know you can, but you're better at a lot of other things than you are at fighting.

CLEOPATRA
Hel, do you feel the same way?

HEL
I am not Hel. I am Nebula.

CLEOPATRA
What?!

HEL
Gotcha.

They laugh.
