Xena!

You came to me in my dreams�

�and I thought it was reality.

Now you come to me in reality�

�and it feels like it's a dream.

Either way, I'm filled with joy.

The ghost killer�

-What's he doing? -His job.

Speeding wandering souls on their way�

�before they can be devoured by Yodoshi.

Perhaps he sees Xena.

Xena is alive! Do you understand?

She is alive.

I want to write a verse to express how I feel�

�but there's no poetry of sufficient beauty.

Akemi�

I've been in the underworld before, but it never felt like this.

What's goin' on?

Our bodies�

They're an illusion� projected by Yodoshi.

While we are under his power�

�we must obey his will.

Funny, you're just the way I remember you.

I am at your service, Lord Yodoshi.

You most certainly are.

An eternity of playing the whore to service my appetite for souls.

Xena�

I was so worried that you wouldn't show Yodoshi respect�

He's very dangerous.

It wasn't respect I was showing him.

I have a job to do.

The job that you called me for.

I'm going to destroy Yodoshi.

It will be very dangerous.

He seems to be getting mightier every day.

You're going to have to trust me, Akemi.

There's someone I have to meet�

�who can help us.

You know you are being watched.

Akemi, I can still hear your heart beating.

And I can hear every one of Miyuki's clumsy footfalls.

She'll try to follow me.

Let her.

I saw something.

The samurai may have Xena captured.

Let's split up.

Xena!

Gabrielle�

-What are you doing here? -I was so worried about you�

I found your chakram. There's so much blood!

I'm all right.

What's with the robes?

Gabrielle, I'm going to kill the lord of the dark land.

You'll need this.

I can't take that.

It's difficult to explain.

You're dead.

How could you let yourself be killed?

I'm sorry, Gabrielle. I couldn't tell you.

You'd have tried to stop me and then we'd both be dead.

Is that supposed to make me feel better?

We've overcome death before.

We will find a way to bring me back.

But only by becoming a spirit can I kill Yodoshi�

�and free those souls that I condemned to torment.

Don't you see that?

You're my whole life, Xena.

I won't lose you.

You won't lose me.

Harukata, don't you come near her.

Put down your weapons, Gabrielle.

He's working with me.

The anklet!

With this, we can bring Yodoshi to us when we're ready.

This is my soul mate.

She's a poet like you, Akemi.

I have one question.

Would you risk your life�

�for the return of hers?

Without hesitation.

There is a way, Gabrielle.

You must take her body, burn it,�

�then sprinkle the ashes into the Fountain of Strength, on Mount Fuji.

You must find the fountain�

�before the second sunset after death.

That's tomorrow.

Harukata will say the incantations necessary�

�to give the sacred katana power against malicious spirits.

Gabrielle�

This is Akemi.

-It is an honor to meet you at last. -And you, Akemi.

Gabrielle can't help with our work in the tea house.

She knows what she must do. And she should leave soon.

Thank you.

Wait.

I would like to give you something�

�to protect you on your journey.

Good luck, old friend.

I am getting your body back, Xena.

No matter where they have hidden it.

Before sunset tomorrow, we will meet again�

�on the side of Mount Fujisan.

See you there.

Give me her head!

I've been expecting you.

Your friend was a fine opponent.

She provided me with one of the greatest trophies�

�an honorable samurai could ever claim.

You call yourself honorable? You outnumbered her a thousand to one.

You're not a samurai. You're a fraud.

You couldn't have killed Xena unless she wanted you to.

I think it's you with a death wish!

I accept the challenge.

Listen not just to the sounds�

�but to what's behind the sounds.

It was the greatest honor of my life�

�to send Xena to an early grave.

If I cannot do the same to you�

�then I ask you to grant me a noble defeat.

Please, remove my head in one stroke.

Good.

Where is Miyuki?

Where is he?

Duck!

We finally meet, ghosk killer.

Akemi�

Akemi�

Akemi�

Are you all right?

Harukata, what went wrong?

There is� only one explanation.

He's drinking�

�from the Fountain of Strength on Mount Fuji.

If you drink� from the fountain�

�and use the sword I blessed�

�it will be the final destruction for any spirit.

Xena, my soul� will soon join the other's�

�trapped in Yodoshi's grasp.

You must finish a job�

�and release us all.

I will not rest till it is done.

I can't let you die.

�if I only had 30 seconds to live�

�this is how I'd want to live them� Looking into your eyes.

Even in death, Gabrielle,�

�I will never leave you.

You will return to me, my friend.

Yodoshi is a hawk.

Even with his injury, he could make it at Mount Fuji at half day.

Yes, but he is weakened.

We're no longer confined to this fisical illusions.

We can change to the other versions.

What about them?

-Yes. -Good.

Xena�

Gabrielle� is on the way of the Mount Fuji� and� if she succeeds�

She'll succeed, don't worry.

She's very good on what she does.

-I'm so sorry� -Akemi�

What's wrong?

I have to tell you� what must be done� to save those souls�

�but I fell my own soul is condemned� for what I am about to tell you.

I know that you did what you thought you had to, Akemi.

And perhaps by releasing those souls� you all will be redeemed.

Come on.

You'll come to regret for not allow me a warrior's death.

It's not too late to put that right!

I will not allow you to find a fountain�

�and revive your friend.

No!

No!

No!

Come on. Come on!

What?

My own daughter?

Akemi!

Xena?

Xena?

Xena�

Xena� What happened?

Told you I'd see you here.

The Fountain of Strength�

Get water�

Fountain�

Water�

Gabrielle�

Gabrielle, I need the sacred katana to finish the job.

Thank you.

The sun is setting, Xena.

I have to find your ashes.

Gabrielle�

Come on!

Gab�

Enough of this!

You are about to join the 40.000 souls you condemned, Xena.

And the first thing I'll do, is take the head off your little friend with the tatoo.

You won't live that long.

I deserve the dignity of a warrior.

Dignity, huh?

Like you showed my friend?

Xena�

Akemi�

You've redeemed me. You've redeemed them.

You've redeemed yourself!

Go in peace, Akemi.

We'll meet again�

�one day.

No, Gabrielle.

Xena�

No.

Xena�

The sun is setting. I have to bring you back to life.

No.

Not if it means condemning the souls of the 40.000 who burned at Higuchi.

The souls are free.

They're free from Yodoshi's grasp.

Akemi didn't wanna tell me this in case I wouldn't come back to help�

�but for those souls to be released into a state of grace,�

�they must be avenged.

I must stay dead.

But if I bring you back to life�

Those souls will be lost forever.

Xena�

That is not right.

I don't care.

You're all that matters to me.

Don't you know how much I wanna let you do this?

But if there is a reason for our travels together�

�it's because I had to learn from you�

�enough to know the final, the good, the right thing to do.

I can't come back.

I can't.

I love you, Xena.

How am I supposed to go on without you?

I'll always be with you, Gabrielle.

Always.

Xena�

A life of journeying has brought you to the farthest lands�

�To the very edges of the Earth.

And to the place where I'll always remain�

�Your heart.

So, where to now?

I think we should go south, to the land of the pharaohs.

I hear they need a girl with a chakram.

Where you go�

�I'm at your side.

I knew you'd say that.

Xena was permanently harmed during the making of this motion picture,�

�although she kept her spirits up.
