Amarice tells him they aren't having any more troubles and points towards their lifeless bodies on crosses below. Joxer says he will return with their bodies to Greece.; Meanwhile, in the afterlife Xena and Gabrille wait atop a peaked mountain and are surrounded by angels who lift them both up towards the light. However, as they rise, the angels are attacked by winged demons, Callisto amongst them and Gabrielle is dropped during the fighting and ends up in Hell. She awakes there to find Callisto lying beside her and tempting her to eat fruits of hell. Gabrielle correctly guesses it's a trick, but Callisto gets her demon buddies to force feed Gabrielle with the fruit and she turns into a demon with a few choice words for Callisto along the way.; Meanwhile, back up top, Xena attempts a plunge to rescue Gabrielle and is retrieved forceably by the Arch-Angel Michael who is not best impressed. Deciding that Xena could be a useful ally, he gives her the chance to take a test and she becomes an Arch-Angel. Michael warns her that Hell will be very hard and she will be more compassionate than before - should she give up her light, she will trade places with whoever she rescues.

Confronting the virginal and gentle new Callisto, Gabrielle finds it difficult to forgive her. Michael realises that Xena is now a demon and that with such a leader at their head, they are likely to be even more dangerous than before. Gabrielle offers to distract Xena in the fight, and Michael tells her that she must go through a test to see if she is worthy. She undertakes the test only to be faced with the gentle Callisto again - a sure sign that Michael wants her to forgive Callisto - the hardest thing for Gabrielle to ever do.; Meanwhile having removed their bodies from the crosses, Joxer, Eli and Amarice are moving them. Amarice accuses Eli of as good as killing them himself by teaching Gabrielle all the peace claptrap such that she would not defend herself. Joxer tries to step in, but Eli stops him, accepting there is much truth in what Amarice is saying.; Back in the afterlife, Gabrielle emerges from her trial as an Arch-Angel and sets herself on a high rock where she can be seen.

The chakram of light is also one of the few things on earth that can kill a god, which explains why Ares and Kal are so eager to get hold of it. Whoever has possession of the chakram could wipe out all the other gods.; The group rushes to the Chakram Chamber and Xena retrieves the chakram of light.

He then proceeds to put fire to the powder and leave the tent. Xena, back in the palace, feels the fear that Gabrielle is generating, and uses the power from a distance to suck up all the air in the tent. No oxygen, no fire. That buys Gabrielle and Chi time to escape, carrying the news of all the powder camps to Xena.; Ming T'ien and Pao Su order Kun to advance, they must be ready to finish Xena by morning.

Once all their followers are dead, Pao Su and Ming T'ien explode as well.; After the battle ended, Kao Sin tells Xena that she feels closer to her mother than ever, and Xena agrees that she feels her closer, but she doesn't feel the power anymore.

Once she beats all four of them and persuades one of them to tell her what the attack plan is.; Back in the village, Eli is praying for guidance, and Angel-Callisto shows as an answer, saying that he will do what is necessary, Eli asks if there is no other way, and she answers that there isn't, for the new to be built, it must be over the old, and he is the hammer that will crack the old order. Then with a kiss in his cheek, she leaves him.; Xena comes back to town, warning Eli of the upcoming army, but he resist to leave, he will face Ares and win or lose, on his own.

Ares laughs, pulls out his sword and strikes at defenseless Eli, but Gabrielle defends him, stopping the slash. Eli tells her that he doesn't want nor need to be defended by violence. Ares strikes again, and once again the amazon bard stops his sword. Once again, Eli tells her not to interfere, saying that he has never asked anything of her, now he is asking, do not defend him. Ares says "Since the begining of time, it's been warriors who had shaped the world," then he stabs Eli in the chest, pulls out his sword, and fades out. Eli dies on Gabrielle's arms, who cries her anguish at heaven.; When Xena arrives, she sees Eli dead, and the group of followers blaming the amazon for not defending him, she calms them telling them that Eli wouldn't want them looking for a scapegoat, but banding together. Then she asks Gabrielle what happened, and she answers that Ares killed Eli, Xena tries to calm her telling her that she defended him, and when the bard doesn't answer she begins to blame her. Gabrielle answer that she only did what Eli asked of her, and the Warrior Princess reminds her that SHE asked her to keep him safe, that the only way persons like Eli exists, is because persons like them defend them when they wouldn't defend themselves. Gabrielle withdraws furious, saying that if Xena thinks she is to blame for Eli's death, then Ares is right, the future is shaped by warriors.; Gabrielle goes out of town, to the desert, trying to clear some frustration by throwing her sais to a defenseless tree, and Ares pops in, telling her that he did only what he had to do, and that Eli was selfish by putting her in the position of watching him die. Then he shares with her the power of the gods, so that she can feel what he feels like, what it feels to be a god, and then offers to share it with her pernamently, leaving her to think about it.; In the funeral pyre of Eli, Xena sings her mourning song and Gabrielle doesn't come close , for she feels guilty of all that happened, Angel-Callisto pops in front of Xena to comfort her, but Xena answers her that she doesn't care, Eli is dead because a game between deities, and Gabrielle is suffering for she is in the middle of it. Then the Warrior Princess asks the angel to take her to the Dagger of Helios, for nobody of this world may know where is it, but as an angel, Callisto does, and with the Dagger in her hand, she can kill Ares.; Once she has the Dagger in her hands, Angel-Callisto asks her not to kill Ares; Eli's sacrifice was necessary so that people find it easier to follow the way of peace, but Xena only believes that those people will be slaughtered like sheep, and she is going to fight for what she believes.; Back on the village, Ares and his army have taken control of the situation, but the villagers, led by the black man, refuse to renounce to the teachings of Eli. Ares then tells them that he is going to kill them all, and Gabrielle shouts that she will defend the town against him, for now there is no Eli to stop her. When they fight, Gabrielle disarms Ares, throws her sais at him - he evades them - and then she takes his sword, but unused to fight with such a heavy weapon, she is hit, disarmed herself, and on her knees. Ares is going to decapitate her, when the mega-chakram of Xena cuts the sword in two, then she puts the Dagger on his throat, Ares chuckles, until is informed that this is the Dagger of Helios, and has the power to kill him. When she is about to strike, she sees Eli's reflection on the dagger, remembering what he did, and what he didn't do.; She stops and drops the dagger, saying that she is going to do something a lot worse to Ares than just kill him, she's going to spare him. Then Ares grabs the dagger and puts it to Xena's throat, asking her what makes her think that he will spare her as well. She just answers that by turning Eli into a martyr, he made sure that his cause will live on, and if he kills her, the movement will be twice as strong.; When Ares disappears, Angel-Eli and Angel-Callisto fade in, Angel-Eli thanks Xena for keeping his cause alive and Gabrielle, for she never disappointed him. Angel-Callisto then tells Xena that she will be reincarnated, into the body of a child, and she can't think of a better mother than she. They both destroyed each others lives in the past, now, its the time for both to gave back what was taken from each other.
