~Prologue~
INT. WAREHOUSE. NIGHT
The place is empty, or at least it seems that way. We pan over to see 3 guys standing. One of them gives another one money, and he gives them some crack. They are about to leave when the door is kicked in. A stunning young woman dressed in black walks up to them.
EVE
What have we here?
DEALER
Nothing. You a cop?
EVE
Maybe. Here's the deal...you leave now, and I won't hurt you. I ever catch you dealing drugs in my neighborhood again, you'll be sorry.
DEALER
You ain't got no control over us.
EVE
Fasinating. Your vocabulary is just wonderful.
DEALER
I'm smarter than you think.
EVE
I don't think so. If you were smart you would've left when I told you to. But, hell I've got some time to kill.
She kicks him where it hurts. He bends over and she knees him in the head, knocking him down. Eve gives the others a cold stare and they run away. She looks back at the guy. He's trying to crawl away.
EVE
Where do you think you're going?
DEALER
Who are you?
EVE
Wish I knew.
She kicks him in the head knocking him out before walking away. A woman comes out and watches Eve as she makes her way out of the warehouse.
(Opening Credits)
~PART ONE~
INT. CLUB. NIGHT
The club is hopping with loud music and a bunch of people on the dance floor. Eve makes her way in, and turns a few heads as she reaches the bar. She sits at the bar.
BARTENDER
What'll it be?
EVE
Coke.
BARTENDER(Amused)
Coke?!
EVE
Is that going to be a problem?
BARTENDER
No, no problem at all.
He turns to get her a coke.
Burnadette, the woman who was watching Eve earlier comes and sits next to her.
BURNADETTE
Hello.
The bartender gives Eve her drink.
EVE
Hi.
BURNADETTE
You here alone?
EVE
You know the answer to that, you saw me come in. And you were watching me back at the warehouse too.
BURNADETTE
How did you know?
EVE
I don't know.
BURNADETTE
You fight well.
EVE
Whatever. I took out one loser with 3 kicks, no big deal.
BURNADETTE
Still, nice moves.
Eve turns around and sees a man break a beer bottle over another man's head.
EVE
You're about to see more.
The two start to fight. Eve turns around. She leaps up and backflips in between the two "gentlemen" and puts both her hands in their faces.
EVE
Can't you read? The sign outside says "No Fighting!"
MAN 1
Get out of my way, woman!
She pushes man 1 down.
EVE
You should have more respect.
She goes over to the man who had a beer bottle broken over his head.
EVE
Are you okay?
MAN 2
Yes, thank you.
Man 1 gets up and charges at Eve. She back-kicks him in the jewels. She obviously knows her opponents' weaknesses. The man falls down in pain.
MAN 2
That was amazing, who are you?
EVE
Good Question.
She walks to the door and exits. Back at the bar, Burnadette turns to the Bartender.
BURNADETTE
Who is that woman?
BARTENDER
I don't know. She moved into an apartment across the street about a week ago. I don't know her name.
JOEY
Her name is Eve.
Burnadette turns to Joey.
BURNADETTE
How do you know that?
JOEY
Because, I'm the one who called for her.
BURNADETTE
What do you mean?
JOEY
She's not from..here.
BURNADETTE
Where is she from?
JOEY
Ancient Times.
BURNADETTE
Ancient Times? Are you..feeling okay?
JOEY
I'm fine. I called for her from the past.
BURNADETTE
Okay, I'm going to humor you, why did you call for her?
JOEY
Because, her destiny was almost fulfilled in the wrong time.
BURNADETTE
Huh?
JOEY
She was chosen as God's messenger, but the problem was, she was born at the wrong time. She was born of a woman named Xena, when she was actually supposed to have been born of a woman named Jan Pappas.
BURNADETTE
Okay, let me get this straight. You called this ancient chick into our time because she was born of the wrong woman?
JOEY
Yes.
BURNADETTE
What did you call her here to do?
JOEY
To send out God's message.
BURNADETTE
Are you one of those "church-people"?
JOEY
No, but I am someone who has to make sure that her destiny is fulfilled in the right time.
BURNADETTE
Why?
JOEY
Because, one of my ancestors died to ensure that she lived.
BURNADETTE
How do you know it was the wrong time?
JOEY
I have a sense about these things.
BURNADETTE
Yeah, right, whatever.
JOEY
Okay, I was reading this book that I got from...look the point is, I know it's true, and that's why I called her.
BURNADETTE
O....k. Anyway, I'm Burnadette, it's nice to meet you.
They shake hands.
JOEY
Joey.
BURNADETTE
I'm going to catch up to her.
JOEY
Why?
BURNADETTE
I need to talk to her.
CUT TO: EXT. ALLEY. NIGHT
Eve is walking. Burnadette catches up to her.
BURNADETTE
Eve!
Eve turns around.
EVE
How do you know my name?
BURNADETTE
This guy told me.
EVE
Who?
BURNADETTE
He said his name was Joey.
EVE
I don't know anyone named Joey.
BURNADETTE
Well, he knows you.
EVE
Look, I don't know what you want from me, but if it's what I think, I don't swing that way.
Eve walks on, but Burnadette stops.
CUT TO: INT. APARTMENT. NIGHT
Eve enters. She puts her keys on a small dish that rests on the table by her front door.
She walks past the small hallway to the living room.
CUT TO: INT. LIVING ROOM. NIGHT
Eve enters the dark living room. When she turns on the light, we see that a man is behind her. She kicks him back into the wall. Now Eve has him pinned to the wall with her leg.
EVE
Who are you?
JOEY
My name is Joey.
EVE
How did you get in here?
JOEY
I have my ways.
EVE
Yes, and I have my ways of taking care of people who don't talk.
JOEY
Okay, you want the whole story I'll give it to you.
Eve puts her leg down.
EVE
You're the one who told that woman about me.
JOEY
Burnadette?
EVE
Yeah.
JOEY
Well, this is going to take awhile, perhaps we should sit.
Eve sits in a chair. Joey is about the when Eve stops him.
EVE
Talk.
JOEY
Can I sit?
EVE
No...talk.
JOEY
Okay. I sent for you. I used a spell that I found in this book that my Great, Great Grandmother wrote. She was a Witch. Anyway, I used the spell and searched for you.
EVE
Why did you send for me?
JOEY
Because I was reading my Great, Great Grandma's book and it said that a destiny was being fulfilled in the wrong time, so I pulled you from your own time and into this one.
EVE
Look...I don't know if what you're saying is true...
JOEY
It's because you lost your memory, right?
Eve looks at him.
EVE
I didn't lose my memory.
JOEY
Right...you just don't know who you are.
EVE
I remember my childhood. My mother used to bake me cookies.
JOEY
That's another part of the spell. I gave you false memories.
EVE
Are you telling me my life never happend?
JOEY
No. I'm telling you that the life you think you had isn't the one you really had.
He sits down.
EVE
Explain it to me, then. What really happend?
JOEY
You were born in ancient times. Back with the Olympian Gods.
EVE
Yeah right.
JOEY
It's true. Your birth was a special one. You were born of two women. One and Angel, and the other a Warrior Princess. You were the bringer of Twilight.
Flash some clips from Xena Warrior Princess as Joey tells the story of Eve's real life.
JOEY(Cont'd)
Your birth would mean the death of the Greek Gods. The suffering of mankind at the hands of the gods would be no more. The part of the prophecy that was never foretold by the fates was that it could easily be avoided. If the gods had left you alone, your mother would not have had to kill them.
EVE
My mother killed gods.
JOEY
Yes.
EVE
You're crazy. Get out.
JOEY
I'm telling you the truth. Haven't you ever wondered how you have the ability that most people don't? How you're a warrior with no training whatsoever?
EVE
No, I'm wondering how the hell they let you out of the looney bin, now leave before I kick you out..literally.
JOEY
Eve, you have to believe me!
EVE
Why?
JOEY
Because it's the truth!
Burnadette enters the living room.
BURNADETTE
He's right, it is the truth.
EVE
How did you get in here?
BURNADETTE
I have my ways.
JOEY
Eve, this is Burnadette my wife.
EVE
Okay, Bonnie and Clyde, just get out of my house!
She stands up.
EVE
I am not a Warrior, my mother didn't kill gods, and I am not the Messenger of Eli!
Silence.
JOEY
Eve, I didn't mention anything about you being the Messenger of Eli.
BURNADETTE
You remembered something, didn't you, Eve?
EVE
Yes. I saw a face. A man with long dark hair.
JOEY
Eli.
EVE
This is very weird. I want to know. Everything you know, tell me.
CUT TO: INT. BAR. NIGHT
The bartender is there getting ready to close up when someone enters.
BARTENDER
Sorry, we're closed.
He turns around and sees a Demonic being standing there.
The bartender looks of fear.
~Part Two~
INT. BAR. NIGHT
BARTENDER
Kell.
KELL
I'm very disappointed in you.
BARTENDER
Why?
KELL
You allowed her to enter our world.
BARTENDER
She's here?
KELL
Yes, and it's your fault. He's very mad at you.
BARTENDER
He is?
KELL
Yes.
BARTENDER
How was I supposed to know?
KELL
Oh, yes that's right. You don't have your powers anymore. You couldn't have known. Fine, I'll give them back to you, but you better kill her before she fulfills her destiny.
BARTENDER
I won't fail him.
KELL
I hope you don't, for your sake.
Kell raises his hand and a bring light shines around the Bartender, who's name is Mike by the way.
MIKE
Thank you, Kell. I will not fail.
Kell disappears.
CUT TO: INT. LIVING ROOM. NIGHT
Eve is in shock.
EVE
I can't believe it. But all of this still doesn't explain why you brought me here. What am I supposed to do?
JOEY
I'm not sure.
EVE
You should've been sure before you messed with forces you do not understand.
BURNADETTE
I think I know why you're supposed to be here, Eve. Back in Ancient Times, like we said, you were God's Messenger. Maybe you're supposed to be here so you can help people find God or something.
EVE
Maybe. I do feel like there's something I'm obligated to do, but I just don't know what it is.
JOEY
None of us do, but we want to. We'll help you find your destiny, Eve. We called you here, now we have a responsibility to you.
BURNADETTE
Look, first order of business, the Bartender at the bar you were at earlier, he's Half Demon. We were in there earlier pretending like we didn't know each other just to see how much he knew about you.
EVE
Why would he know about me?
BURNADETTE
He belongs to a spiritual order, I don't know the latin name, but the english equilvelant is "Destiny's Guardians." They find what's not supposed to be, and they destroy it.
EVE
In this case, that's me.
JOEY
Yes, but I think we can beat them together. Burnadette and I aren't warriors like you, but we can hold our own.
EVE
There's still so much of this that doesn't make sense. What about my mother, Xena that you told me about? Wouldn't she worry about me?
JOEY
I'm sure she would.
EVE
Then I want you to send me back to my own time, now!
BURNADETTE
We don't know how to do that.
EVE
You better find a way. You brought me here, and you don't even know why or how to send me back!
JOEY
All that my book said was that "...in the year 2001 if any of my great great grandmother's decendants read this book, that they are to bring forth the Messenger of Eli..." so I did.
EVE
It doesn't say why?
BURNADETTE
I think that's something you..we have to figure out ourselves.
EVE
Well let's see. There's a Demon order coming after me, maybe I'm supposed to fight them. Or maybe i should go around preaching to people the ways of Eli, when he's been dead for centuries!
JOEY
Eve, I know your angry.
EVE
I've gotten passed angry and straight to pissed off!
BURNADETTE
We're sorry, but we were just doing what Joey's ancestor asked of him.
Eve gets up.
EVE
I'm going for a walk. I expect you two to be gone when I get back.
She leaves the apartment.
CUT TO: INT. BAR. NIGHT
Eve enters and no one is there.
MIKE's VOICE
We're closed.
EVE
But you don't usually close until 2.
He leaps on her from behind with a knife.
MIKE
I said we're closed!!
He brings the knife down, Eve catches his arm and squeezes his wrist, causing him to drop the knife.
She then flips him over her, and plants her foot on his throat.
EVE
I didn't really believe Joey and Burnadette, but I guess I do know. I want you to know that if you dare come after me again, I'll kill you.
MIKE
I will not give up! I won't fail my master!
EVE
Who do you work for?
MIKE
You know him, Eve. You met him. Your mother sent him to Hell.
EVE
Lucifer.
MIKE
Yes.
EVE
Why does he want me dead?
MIKE
I won't tell you anything.
Eve picks him up and slams him against the wall before she puts the pinch on him.
EVE
You've got 30 seconds before you die, now tell me, why does he want me dead? I pose no threat to him.
MIKE
You do, you just don't know it yet. Your destiny will be the end of his reign over Hell.
EVE
Are you saying, I'm going to rule over Hell someday?
MIKE
No. There won't be a Hell.
EVE(To herself)
So this must be why they brought me here, in this time. But, how can I destroy Hell?
MIKE
Excuse me, could you take this off now?
EVE
Oh, sorry.
She takes the pinch off.
MIKE
Where did you learn that?
EVE
I don't know. It was like an instinctive move.
MIKE
Oh, by the way. You don't destroy Hell.
EVE
But you said there won't be a Hell.
MIKE
I didn't say you destroyed it. You've got so much to learn little girl. Do you think you can handle what's to come?
EVE
Do I have a choice?
MIKE
Not really.
EVE
Well, then whatever your boss and his minions have planned for me, I say
"Bring it On!"
She punches him out.
CUT TO: INT. APARTMENT. NIGHT
Burnadette and Joey wait in the living room.
BURNADETTE
I can understand how she feels. It is a pretty far fetched story.
JOEY
We can't give up on her.
BURNADETTE
We won't.
The hear a strange noise. They go to see who has entered. Obviously Eve right? Wrong.
They see a man there, obviously and Archangel.
JOEY
Is that...?
BURNADETTE
An Archangel.
MICHAEL
You took Eve from her own time. I'm glad you did.
EVE
Why?
He turns around and sees Eve standing there.
EVE
I accept this destiny of mine, but I need to know more.
MICHAEL
And in time you will.
EVE
I want to know now, Michael!
JOEY
She knows who he is?
EVE
My memories are coming back to me.
MICHAEL
And that is how you'll understand your new destiny.
EVE
To destroy Hell?
MICHAEL
That and so much more. By bringing you back into this time, they give you a chance that you would not have had. Back in Greece, you would've died.
EVE
I don't understand. Is this the future or the present?
MICHAEL
The past, the present, and the future all exist as one.
EVE
That doesn't make sense.
MICHAEL
Maybe life isn't supposed to make sense.
He disappears.
BURNADETTE
Eve, are you okay?
EVE
I'm fine. I'm starting to remember things. My mother...Gabrielle...Virgil.
JOEY
Virgil?
EVE
Yeah.
JOEY
One of my ancestors' name was Virgil. And his father's name was--
JOEY AND EVE
Joxer.
EVE
Oh, no.
JOEY
What is it?
EVE
Guilt.
JOEY
Why?
EVE
I killed Joxer.
JOEY
Oh...Eve, look, that's in the past. You're a different person now.
EVE
I wish I could see it that way. I can't really see anything right now. I know that I killed Joxer, but I don't know why. It's all so blurry and confusing.
BURNADETTE
Maybe you should get some rest. Go to bed, we'll be back in the morning.
EVE
Okay.
Eve goes up the stairs.
JOEY
Burnie, let's go.
BURNADETTE
I'm worried about her. What if she remembers everthing about her past? Even Livia?
JOEY
We'll come back and check on her tomorrow.
BURNADETTE
Okay.
They exit the apartment after turning off the lights.
CUT TO: EXT. BAR. NIGHT
Burnadette and Joey are walking.
BURNADETTE
Do you think Eve will be okay?
JOEY
I don't know, would you be okay if you found out you were really from Ancient Greece, called forth by two newly-weds who barely have a clue what they're doing?
BURNADETTE
Not really. Why did we bring her here?
JOEY
Because my Great Great Grandmother asked me to. It was her last wish written down in the book.
BURNADETTE
Do you think she even knows what Eve's destiny is here?
JOEY
If she does, I wish she would let us know.
They hear glass break from inside the bar. They go in the back door.
CUT TO: INT. BAR. NIGHT
Kell has Mike by the throat, lifting him off the ground.
KELL
You shouldn't have failed.
MIKE
I still have time!
They see the two enter.
KELL
Get out of here!
MIKE
Wait! They know Eve!
Kell drops Mike.
MIKE
You know Eve?
JOEY
Eve who?
BURNADETTE
I don't know anyone named Eve.
MIKE
They're lying, Kell. They were in here earlier asking about her.
KELL
Well, perhaps I have a use for you then.
CUT TO: Later.
Joey and Burnadette are tied up.
KELL
Now that we have her friends, Eve will come try to save them.
JOEY
We didn't say she was our friend. She barely even knows us.
BURNADETTE
She won't know where we are.
KELL
Yes she will.
Kell closes his eyes and puts his hands together.
CUT TO: INT. BEDROOM. NIGHT
Eve is tossing and turning in her sleep. We can see images of her dreams. She sees that Joey and Burnadette are tied up, and sees that they are in the bar.
She wakes up startled, then quickly gets out of bed.
CUT TO: INT. BAR. NIGHT
The same situation, Joey and Burnie are tied up, with Mike and Kell standing around.
KELL
She's almost here. I can feel her purity.
Eve drops from the ceiling and lands on Kell. She gets up.
EVE
Feel this!
She kicks him in the jewels, then goes over to untie Burnie and Joey.
BURNADETTE
You do that a lot!
EVE
It's the fastest way to break a man's heart.
KELL
Stop her!
Mike materializes a sword in his hand and tries to chop Eve with it, but she moves and the ropes that held Burnie and Joey are cut. She then kicks both chairs at him, knocking him down. Kell gets up and grabs Eve from behind, holding her arms down. She head butts him, and he lets go. She turns around and starts punching him in the head.
Mike pushes Joey away, and holds a knife to Burnadette's throat.
MIKE
Oh, Evie.
Eve turns around and looks. She gets a flash from when she was Livia, holding the dagger to Joxer's throat. It only lasts a moment, then she's back to reality.
EVE
Let her go.
MIKE
No.
EVE
What do you want?
MIKE
I want you dead.
EVE
I won't give you the satisfaction.
MIKE
Then she dies.
JOEY
No!
Eve reaches behind her and grabs the a big ash tray from the bar and looks at it.
MIKE
What are you doing?
EVE
Thinking what a nasty habit smoking is. But still, the ash trays can come in handy.
She throws it at the wall, it bounces off and hits Mike in the head, knocking him out, before coming back to Eve. She catches it in shock.
EVE
Whoa. How'd I do that?
KELL
It doesn't matter!
He throws her across the room.
She gets up pissed off.
Kell and Eve engage in hand to hand combat, before she jumps up (slow motion) and kicks Kell across the bar. He hits the wall hard, then falls on the floor.
He and Mike are forced back to Hell.
Eve helps Joey up.
EVE
Burnadette are you okay?
BURNADETTE
I'm fine. That was very impressive.
EVE
Well, yeah, as for as ash tray chakram arts goes, I think I get the gold.
JOEY
So, I take it you believe us now.
EVE
Yeah, I do.
BURNADETTE
Just know one thing..you're not alone.
JOEY
She's right. We brought you here, now we're going to help you.
EVE
Thanks. So what are we a team now?
JOEY
Guess so.
EVE
How are we going to do this? We don't even know exactly what it is I'm supposed to do.
JOEY
We will.
EVE
I guess I help people right?
BURNADETTE
No harm in that. Except for the part where you got thrown across the room, are you okay?
EVE
Yeah. I've taken worse hits than that.
JOEY
You remember?
EVE
Kind of. It's all hazy and confusing. I know there's a dark part of my life, but I can't remember it. I'm not even sure I want to.
JOEY
Well, I think we should get out of here.
EVE
Yeah, I agree.
They exit the bar talking about something, but we can't hear what they say.
When they leave, a portal from Hell opens, and out pops Livia, in her Roman armor. She looks around, confused, not knowing where she is.

You ain't got no control over us.

DEALER
I'm smarter than you think.
EVE
I don't think so. If you were smart you would've left when I told you to. But, hell I've got some time to kill.
She kicks him where it hurts. He bends over and she knees him in the head, knocking him down. Eve gives the others a cold stare and they run away. She looks back at the guy. He's trying to crawl away.
EVE
Where do you think you're going?
DEALER
Who are you?
EVE
Wish I knew.
She kicks him in the head knocking him out before walking away. A woman comes out and watches Eve as she makes her way out of the warehouse.
(Opening Credits)
~PART ONE~
INT. CLUB. NIGHT
The club is hopping with loud music and a bunch of people on the dance floor. Eve makes her way in, and turns a few heads as she reaches the bar. She sits at the bar.
BARTENDER
What'll it be?
EVE
Coke.
BARTENDER(Amused)
Coke?!
EVE
Is that going to be a problem?
BARTENDER
No, no problem at all.
He turns to get her a coke.
Burnadette, the woman who was watching Eve earlier comes and sits next to her.
BURNADETTE
Hello.
The bartender gives Eve her drink.
EVE
Hi.
BURNADETTE
You here alone?
EVE
You know the answer to that, you saw me come in. And you were watching me back at the warehouse too.
BURNADETTE
How did you know?
EVE
I don't know.
BURNADETTE
You fight well.
EVE
Whatever. I took out one loser with 3 kicks, no big deal.
BURNADETTE
Still, nice moves.
Eve turns around and sees a man break a beer bottle over another man's head.
EVE
You're about to see more.
The two start to fight. Eve turns around. She leaps up and backflips in between the two "gentlemen" and puts both her hands in their faces.
EVE
Can't you read? The sign outside says "No Fighting!"
MAN 1
Get out of my way, woman!
She pushes man 1 down.
EVE
You should have more respect.
She goes over to the man who had a beer bottle broken over his head.
EVE
Are you okay?
MAN 2
Yes, thank you.
Man 1 gets up and charges at Eve. She back-kicks him in the jewels. She obviously knows her opponents' weaknesses. The man falls down in pain.
MAN 2
That was amazing, who are you?
EVE
Good Question.
She walks to the door and exits. Back at the bar, Burnadette turns to the Bartender.
BURNADETTE
Who is that woman?
BARTENDER
I don't know. She moved into an apartment across the street about a week ago. I don't know her name.
JOEY
Her name is Eve.
Burnadette turns to Joey.
BURNADETTE
How do you know that?
JOEY
Because, I'm the one who called for her.
BURNADETTE
What do you mean?
JOEY
She's not from..here.
BURNADETTE
Where is she from?
JOEY
Ancient Times.
BURNADETTE
Ancient Times? Are you..feeling okay?
JOEY
I'm fine. I called for her from the past.
BURNADETTE
Okay, I'm going to humor you, why did you call for her?
JOEY
Because, her destiny was almost fulfilled in the wrong time.
BURNADETTE
Huh?
JOEY
She was chosen as God's messenger, but the problem was, she was born at the wrong time. She was born of a woman named Xena, when she was actually supposed to have been born of a woman named Jan Pappas.
BURNADETTE
Okay, let me get this straight. You called this ancient chick into our time because she was born of the wrong woman?
JOEY
Yes.
BURNADETTE
What did you call her here to do?
JOEY
To send out God's message.
BURNADETTE
Are you one of those "church-people"?
JOEY
No, but I am someone who has to make sure that her destiny is fulfilled in the right time.
BURNADETTE
Why?
JOEY
Because, one of my ancestors died to ensure that she lived.
BURNADETTE

Okay, I was reading this book that I got from...look the point is, I know it's true, and that's why I called her.

They shake hands.
JOEY
Joey.
BURNADETTE
I'm going to catch up to her.
JOEY
Why?
BURNADETTE
I need to talk to her.
CUT TO: EXT. ALLEY. NIGHT
Eve is walking. Burnadette catches up to her.
BURNADETTE
Eve!
Eve turns around.
EVE
How do you know my name?
BURNADETTE
This guy told me.
EVE
Who?
BURNADETTE
He said his name was Joey.
EVE
I don't know anyone named Joey.
BURNADETTE
Well, he knows you.
EVE
Look, I don't know what you want from me, but if it's what I think, I don't swing that way.
Eve walks on, but Burnadette stops.
CUT TO: INT. APARTMENT. NIGHT
Eve enters. She puts her keys on a small dish that rests on the table by her front door.
She walks past the small hallway to the living room.
CUT TO: INT. LIVING ROOM. NIGHT
Eve enters the dark living room. When she turns on the light, we see that a man is behind her. She kicks him back into the wall. Now Eve has him pinned to the wall with her leg.
EVE
Who are you?
JOEY
My name is Joey.
EVE
How did you get in here?
JOEY
I have my ways.
EVE
Yes, and I have my ways of taking care of people who don't talk.
JOEY
Okay, you want the whole story I'll give it to you.
Eve puts her leg down.
EVE
You're the one who told that woman about me.
JOEY
Burnadette?
EVE
Yeah.
JOEY
Well, this is going to take awhile, perhaps we should sit.
Eve sits in a chair. Joey is about the when Eve stops him.
EVE
Talk.
JOEY
Can I sit?
EVE
No...talk.
JOEY
Okay. I sent for you. I used a spell that I found in this book that my Great, Great Grandmother wrote. She was a Witch. Anyway, I used the spell and searched for you.
EVE
Why did you send for me?
JOEY
Because I was reading my Great, Great Grandma's book and it said that a destiny was being fulfilled in the wrong time, so I pulled you from your own time and into this one.
EVE
Look...I don't know if what you're saying is true...
JOEY
It's because you lost your memory, right?
Eve looks at him.
EVE
I didn't lose my memory.
JOEY
Right...you just don't know who you are.
EVE
I remember my childhood. My mother used to bake me cookies.
JOEY
That's another part of the spell. I gave you false memories.
EVE
Are you telling me my life never happend?
JOEY
No. I'm telling you that the life you think you had isn't the one you really had.
He sits down.
EVE
Explain it to me, then. What really happend?
JOEY
You were born in ancient times. Back with the Olympian Gods.
EVE
Yeah right.
JOEY
It's true. Your birth was a special one. You were born of two women. One and Angel, and the other a Warrior Princess. You were the bringer of Twilight.
Flash some clips from Xena Warrior Princess as Joey tells the story of Eve's real life.
JOEY(Cont'd)
Your birth would mean the death of the Greek Gods. The suffering of mankind at the hands of the gods would be no more. The part of the prophecy that was never foretold by the fates was that it could easily be avoided. If the gods had left you alone, your mother would not have had to kill them.
EVE
My mother killed gods.
JOEY
Yes.
EVE
You're crazy. Get out.
JOEY
I'm telling you the truth. Haven't you ever wondered how you have the ability that most people don't? How you're a warrior with no training whatsoever?
EVE
No, I'm wondering how the hell they let you out of the looney bin, now leave before I kick you out..literally.
JOEY
Eve, you have to believe me!
EVE
Why?
JOEY
Because it's the truth!
Burnadette enters the living room.
BURNADETTE
He's right, it is the truth.
EVE
How did you get in here?
BURNADETTE
I have my ways.
JOEY
Eve, this is Burnadette my wife.
EVE
Okay, Bonnie and Clyde, just get out of my house!
She stands up.
EVE
I am not a Warrior, my mother didn't kill gods, and I am not the Messenger of Eli!
Silence.
JOEY
Eve, I didn't mention anything about you being the Messenger of Eli.
BURNADETTE
You remembered something, didn't you, Eve?
EVE
Yes. I saw a face. A man with long dark hair.
JOEY
Eli.
EVE
This is very weird. I want to know. Everything you know, tell me.
CUT TO: INT. BAR. NIGHT
The bartender is there getting ready to close up when someone enters.
BARTENDER
Sorry, we're closed.
He turns around and sees a Demonic being standing there.
The bartender looks of fear.
~Part Two~
INT. BAR. NIGHT
BARTENDER
Kell.
KELL
I'm very disappointed in you.
BARTENDER
Why?
KELL
You allowed her to enter our world.
BARTENDER
She's here?
KELL
Yes, and it's your fault. He's very mad at you.
BARTENDER
He is?
KELL
Yes.
BARTENDER
How was I supposed to know?
KELL
Oh, yes that's right. You don't have your powers anymore. You couldn't have known. Fine, I'll give them back to you, but you better kill her before she fulfills her destiny.
BARTENDER
I won't fail him.
KELL
I hope you don't, for your sake.
Kell raises his hand and a bring light shines around the Bartender, who's name is Mike by the way.
MIKE
Thank you, Kell. I will not fail.
Kell disappears.
CUT TO: INT. LIVING ROOM. NIGHT
Eve is in shock.
EVE
I can't believe it. But all of this still doesn't explain why you brought me here. What am I supposed to do?
JOEY
I'm not sure.
EVE
You should've been sure before you messed with forces you do not understand.
BURNADETTE
I think I know why you're supposed to be here, Eve. Back in Ancient Times, like we said, you were God's Messenger. Maybe you're supposed to be here so you can help people find God or something.
EVE
Maybe. I do feel like there's something I'm obligated to do, but I just don't know what it is.
JOEY
None of us do, but we want to. We'll help you find your destiny, Eve. We called you here, now we have a responsibility to you.
BURNADETTE
Look, first order of business, the Bartender at the bar you were at earlier, he's Half Demon. We were in there earlier pretending like we didn't know each other just to see how much he knew about you.
EVE
Why would he know about me?
BURNADETTE
He belongs to a spiritual order, I don't know the latin name, but the english equilvelant is "Destiny's Guardians." They find what's not supposed to be, and they destroy it.
EVE
In this case, that's me.
JOEY
Yes, but I think we can beat them together. Burnadette and I aren't warriors like you, but we can hold our own.
EVE
There's still so much of this that doesn't make sense. What about my mother, Xena that you told me about? Wouldn't she worry about me?
JOEY
I'm sure she would.
EVE
Then I want you to send me back to my own time, now!
BURNADETTE
We don't know how to do that.
EVE
You better find a way. You brought me here, and you don't even know why or how to send me back!
JOEY
All that my book said was that "...in the year 2001 if any of my great great grandmother's decendants read this book, that they are to bring forth the Messenger of Eli..." so I did.
EVE
It doesn't say why?
BURNADETTE
I think that's something you..we have to figure out ourselves.
EVE
Well let's see. There's a Demon order coming after me, maybe I'm supposed to fight them. Or maybe i should go around preaching to people the ways of Eli, when he's been dead for centuries!
JOEY
Eve, I know your angry.
EVE
I've gotten passed angry and straight to pissed off!
BURNADETTE
We're sorry, but we were just doing what Joey's ancestor asked of him.
Eve gets up.
EVE
I'm going for a walk. I expect you two to be gone when I get back.
She leaves the apartment.
CUT TO: INT. BAR. NIGHT
Eve enters and no one is there.
MIKE's VOICE
We're closed.
EVE
But you don't usually close until 2.
He leaps on her from behind with a knife.
MIKE
I said we're closed!!
He brings the knife down, Eve catches his arm and squeezes his wrist, causing him to drop the knife.
She then flips him over her, and plants her foot on his throat.
EVE
I didn't really believe Joey and Burnadette, but I guess I do know. I want you to know that if you dare come after me again, I'll kill you.
MIKE
I will not give up! I won't fail my master!
EVE
Who do you work for?
MIKE
You know him, Eve. You met him. Your mother sent him to Hell.
EVE
Lucifer.
MIKE
Yes.
EVE
Why does he want me dead?
MIKE
I won't tell you anything.
Eve picks him up and slams him against the wall before she puts the pinch on him.
EVE
You've got 30 seconds before you die, now tell me, why does he want me dead? I pose no threat to him.
MIKE
You do, you just don't know it yet. Your destiny will be the end of his reign over Hell.
EVE
Are you saying, I'm going to rule over Hell someday?
MIKE
No. There won't be a Hell.
EVE(To herself)
So this must be why they brought me here, in this time. But, how can I destroy Hell?
MIKE
Excuse me, could you take this off now?
EVE
Oh, sorry.
She takes the pinch off.
MIKE
Where did you learn that?
EVE
I don't know. It was like an instinctive move.
MIKE
Oh, by the way. You don't destroy Hell.
EVE
But you said there won't be a Hell.
MIKE
I didn't say you destroyed it. You've got so much to learn little girl. Do you think you can handle what's to come?
EVE
Do I have a choice?
MIKE
Not really.
EVE
Well, then whatever your boss and his minions have planned for me, I say
"Bring it On!"
She punches him out.
CUT TO: INT. APARTMENT. NIGHT
Burnadette and Joey wait in the living room.
BURNADETTE
I can understand how she feels. It is a pretty far fetched story.
JOEY
We can't give up on her.
BURNADETTE
We won't.
The hear a strange noise. They go to see who has entered. Obviously Eve right? Wrong.
They see a man there, obviously and Archangel.
JOEY
Is that...?
BURNADETTE
An Archangel.
MICHAEL
You took Eve from her own time. I'm glad you did.
EVE
Why?
He turns around and sees Eve standing there.
EVE
I accept this destiny of mine, but I need to know more.
MICHAEL
And in time you will.
EVE
I want to know now, Michael!
JOEY
She knows who he is?
EVE
My memories are coming back to me.
MICHAEL
And that is how you'll understand your new destiny.
EVE
To destroy Hell?
MICHAEL
That and so much more. By bringing you back into this time, they give you a chance that you would not have had. Back in Greece, you would've died.
EVE
I don't understand. Is this the future or the present?
MICHAEL
The past, the present, and the future all exist as one.
EVE
That doesn't make sense.
MICHAEL
Maybe life isn't supposed to make sense.
He disappears.
BURNADETTE
Eve, are you okay?
EVE
I'm fine. I'm starting to remember things. My mother...Gabrielle...Virgil.
JOEY
Virgil?
EVE
Yeah.
JOEY
One of my ancestors' name was Virgil. And his father's name was--
JOEY AND EVE
Joxer.
EVE
Oh, no.
JOEY
What is it?
EVE
Guilt.
JOEY
Why?
EVE
I killed Joxer.
JOEY
Oh...Eve, look, that's in the past. You're a different person now.
EVE
I wish I could see it that way. I can't really see anything right now. I know that I killed Joxer, but I don't know why. It's all so blurry and confusing.
BURNADETTE
Maybe you should get some rest. Go to bed, we'll be back in the morning.
EVE
Okay.
Eve goes up the stairs.
JOEY
Burnie, let's go.
BURNADETTE
I'm worried about her. What if she remembers everthing about her past? Even Livia?
JOEY
We'll come back and check on her tomorrow.
BURNADETTE
Okay.
They exit the apartment after turning off the lights.
CUT TO: EXT. BAR. NIGHT
Burnadette and Joey are walking.
BURNADETTE
Do you think Eve will be okay?
JOEY
I don't know, would you be okay if you found out you were really from Ancient Greece, called forth by two newly-weds who barely have a clue what they're doing?
BURNADETTE
Not really. Why did we bring her here?
JOEY
Because my Great Great Grandmother asked me to. It was her last wish written down in the book.
BURNADETTE
Do you think she even knows what Eve's destiny is here?
JOEY
If she does, I wish she would let us know.
They hear glass break from inside the bar. They go in the back door.
CUT TO: INT. BAR. NIGHT
Kell has Mike by the throat, lifting him off the ground.
KELL
You shouldn't have failed.
MIKE
I still have time!
They see the two enter.
KELL
Get out of here!
MIKE
Wait! They know Eve!
Kell drops Mike.
MIKE
You know Eve?
JOEY
Eve who?
BURNADETTE
I don't know anyone named Eve.
MIKE
They're lying, Kell. They were in here earlier asking about her.
KELL
Well, perhaps I have a use for you then.
CUT TO: Later.
Joey and Burnadette are tied up.
KELL
Now that we have her friends, Eve will come try to save them.
JOEY
We didn't say she was our friend. She barely even knows us.
BURNADETTE
She won't know where we are.
KELL
Yes she will.
Kell closes his eyes and puts his hands together.
CUT TO: INT. BEDROOM. NIGHT
Eve is tossing and turning in her sleep. We can see images of her dreams. She sees that Joey and Burnadette are tied up, and sees that they are in the bar.
She wakes up startled, then quickly gets out of bed.
CUT TO: INT. BAR. NIGHT
The same situation, Joey and Burnie are tied up, with Mike and Kell standing around.
KELL
She's almost here. I can feel her purity.
Eve drops from the ceiling and lands on Kell. She gets up.
EVE
Feel this!
She kicks him in the jewels, then goes over to untie Burnie and Joey.
BURNADETTE
You do that a lot!
EVE
It's the fastest way to break a man's heart.
KELL
Stop her!
Mike materializes a sword in his hand and tries to chop Eve with it, but she moves and the ropes that held Burnie and Joey are cut. She then kicks both chairs at him, knocking him down. Kell gets up and grabs Eve from behind, holding her arms down. She head butts him, and he lets go. She turns around and starts punching him in the head.
Mike pushes Joey away, and holds a knife to Burnadette's throat.
MIKE
Oh, Evie.
Eve turns around and looks. She gets a flash from when she was Livia, holding the dagger to Joxer's throat. It only lasts a moment, then she's back to reality.
EVE
Let her go.
MIKE
No.
EVE
What do you want?
MIKE
I want you dead.
EVE
I won't give you the satisfaction.
MIKE
Then she dies.
JOEY
No!
Eve reaches behind her and grabs the a big ash tray from the bar and looks at it.
MIKE
What are you doing?
EVE
Thinking what a nasty habit smoking is. But still, the ash trays can come in handy.
She throws it at the wall, it bounces off and hits Mike in the head, knocking him out, before coming back to Eve. She catches it in shock.
EVE
Whoa. How'd I do that?
KELL
It doesn't matter!
He throws her across the room.
She gets up pissed off.
Kell and Eve engage in hand to hand combat, before she jumps up (slow motion) and kicks Kell across the bar. He hits the wall hard, then falls on the floor.
He and Mike are forced back to Hell.
Eve helps Joey up.
EVE
Burnadette are you okay?
BURNADETTE
I'm fine. That was very impressive.
EVE
Well, yeah, as for as ash tray chakram arts goes, I think I get the gold.
JOEY
So, I take it you believe us now.
EVE
Yeah, I do.
BURNADETTE
Just know one thing..you're not alone.
JOEY
She's right. We brought you here, now we're going to help you.
EVE
Thanks. So what are we a team now?
JOEY
Guess so.
EVE
How are we going to do this? We don't even know exactly what it is I'm supposed to do.
JOEY
We will.
EVE
I guess I help people right?
BURNADETTE
No harm in that. Except for the part where you got thrown across the room, are you okay?
EVE
Yeah. I've taken worse hits than that.
JOEY
You remember?
EVE
Kind of. It's all hazy and confusing. I know there's a dark part of my life, but I can't remember it. I'm not even sure I want to.
JOEY
Well, I think we should get out of here.
EVE
Yeah, I agree.
They exit the bar talking about something, but we can't hear what they say.
When they leave, a portal from Hell opens, and out pops Livia, in her Roman armor. She looks around, confused, not knowing where she is.
END
