The Slayer Years
A whole new playground... A whole new destiny...
Previously on The Slayer Years:
BLACK SCREEN.
RAINE: [voice over] "Once upon a time there was a girl that dreamt of a normal life; doing all things regular teenagers do. Like shopping at the mall and hanging out with her friends. All that she ever wanted was to love and be loved." [beat] "But fate had chosen her to fight the forces of evil and so she did. She became a true warrior. She might have been the greatest warrior of all time. Her name was Buffy and she was a slayer just like me." [beat] "But I am nothing like her."
FADE IN-
A SHOT of RAINE dodging a fist.
FLASH.
A SHOT of RAINE facing a vampire that has a hold on DREW.
VAMPIRE: "Back off, bitch, or I make him my next snack."
RAINE: "You know what? Just kill him. I can easily get another Watcher."
FOCUS on the vampire's stunned face. It's obvious that it hadn't counted on a response such as that. This shows as his grip around Drew's throat loosens. And as soon as it does, Raine whips out a stake and throws it with lethal accuracy. It hits its target and Drew is left swatting away the dust particles on his clothes.
DREW: "I almost believed you for a second there."
A WIDE SHOT of the scene as Raine walks toward the edge of the roof ? looking down at the dark alley bellow.
RAINE: "I meant every word I said."
FLASH.
RAINE: [v.o] "To be a slayer is to be alone. Or it used to anyway. Then Buffy decided to share her power with all the Potentials ? creating an army of slayers."
A SHOT of a long stretched corridor as people scurries off in different direction. Most of them are young girls with backpacks and piles and piles of books.
FOCUS on a brown haired timid girl walking by the CAMERA. In her hands is a thick book with the title ?Demonology'
RAINE: [v.o] "Today there's only a few hundred slayers left in the world. Seventy-six of them have been located."
FLASH.
A WIDE SHOT of the room to reveal a huge round table, which is slowly filled with all kinds of people. There's two young girls, a middle-aged woman, five men in suits and ? with her back against the CAMERA, a young slender girl with brown curls and a lab coat. As she turns around we can see that it's FRED.
FRED: [looking around] "Is everyone here?"
RAINE: [v.o] "That's Fred. Former all powerful demon king Illyria and now the head of the science and research apartment."
FLASH.
A CLOSE UP on SPIKE.
RAINE: [v.o] "Spike; the vampire with a soul and supposed Champion of the Powers That Be." [as he takes a seat] "And the love interest of Fred."
FLASH.
A SHOT of FRED.
FRED: [seriously] "We have a new threat to deal with."
FLASH.
A WIDE SHOT of the scene as Spike kicks down a gravestone, silently cursing and letting out a deep sigh.
RAINE: [v.o] "Then the happily ever after went bye bye."
The CAMERA FOLLOWS Spike as he walks out of the graveyard and heading down a dark street, coat billowing behind him.
FLASH.
A WIDE SHOT of the laboratory; FRED is standing by an examine table, flipping through the pages of a thick journal while she's absently scratching her nose.
RAINE: [v.o] "Fred is like the smartest person of all time. And one of the strongest."
FOCUS on Fred as she reaches for a glass of water and breaks the glass in her hand. She turns her head to look down at the pieces of the glass on the floor, and then she shrugs and continues reading.
RAINE: [v.o] "When Illyria withdrew she left some residual powers; making Fred stronger than the average human." [beat] "A hell lot stronger than your average slayer as well."
FLASH.
RAINE: [v.o] "Giles High isn't just a school."
To the right; a FYARL DEMON holds the bars and roars out into the corridor, clearly unhappy with his place.
RAINE: [v.o] "It's also the headquarters of the ?New Watcher's Council'."
PANNING FORWARD to the end of the corridor, past the occupied cells and ZOOMING IN on a thick iron door with the sign: CAUTION DO NOT ENTER. AUTHORIZED PERSONAL ONLY.
FLASH.
PANNING OUT as the SPIKE and RAINE turn in surprise TO stare at a portal with different degrees of dread.
RAINE: "What the??"
FOCUS on the portal as a petite young woman steps out off it. She's dressed in a bluish kind of dress and boots. She's quite lovely. And we recognize her as RIVER!
FLASH.
RAINE: [staring] "Who the ****, are you?"
RIVER: "River."
FLASH.
A WIDE SHOT as Raine makes a move as if to attack River. Only that River moves incredible fast and takes a hold on Spike, pressing a knife to his throat.
RIVER: "This might not kill him, but it sure will leave a mark."
RAINE: [coming to a halt] "Release him."
RIVER: [tilting her head] "No."
And with that she renders Spike unconscious with a blow to the head, and with him in a safe grip she backs against the edge of the roof and leaps.
FOCUS on Raine as she runs to the edge and looks down. And from her POV:
The street down bellow is empty. No sign of either River or Spike.
RAINE: "Damn?"
RAINE: [v.o] "How the hell am I gonna explain this?"
