Xena: Warrior Princess1995
Gabrielle:
[Villagers lie dead in a field. Xena and Gabrielle walk through them] Xena, what kind of animal would do this?
Xena:
[Michael appears. Xena suddenly draws her sword on him] What do you *want*, Michael?
Archangel Michael:
I sense hostility. I want you to know I'm all right with that.
Xena:
Well, that is big of you, considering last time you saw me, you tried to have me cast down into *Hell*...
Archangel Michael:
Desperate times warrant desperate measures. [pause] As you see, some new desperate times have arrived.
Xena:
[referring to the dead innocent villagers] Who *did* this?
Archangel Michael:
Caligula. [pause] You know his reputation.
Xena:
He's a psycho, a sex addict and a murderer; your run-of-the-mill Roman emperor...
Gabrielle:
And he thinks he's a God.
Archangel Michael:
No, he *is* a God.
Xena:
He's immortal? But how did that happen?
Archangel Michael:
I don't know. What's important is that the God of Eli gave you the power to kill Gods. You're the only one who can stop Caligula. He killed Tiberius in order to gain power - murdered every last member of his family. He's slain anybody who won't swear allegiance to his Cult of Blood. He wants to write his name into the history books as one of the Great Gods of the Pantheon. And he'll destroy anyone who won't submit to him.
Xena:
Including angels, no doubt.
Archangel Michael:
[smirks] And, uh, the followers of Eli.
Xena:
[pause] If anything's happened to Eve, Michael...
Archangel Michael:
Not yet, but your daughter has the courage of her convictions. She's gone to confront Caligula's persecution.
Gabrielle:
Eve's in Rome?
Xena:
[aggressively] If I find out that you're behind *any* of this, Michael, I swear, I...
Archangel Michael:
As you well know, Xena, your daughter obeys a higher power than me.
Xena:
Michael, don't forget; if I can kill Gods... I can kill angels, too!
