SUNNYDALE
BUFFY'S ROOM ? INT.SUMMER'S RESIDENCE ? AFTERNOON
BUFFY and DAWN are stood in BUFFY'S bedroom.
JOYCE (O/S): Buffy? If you're going out, why don't you take your sister?
Both girls turn to look at the doorway, looking annoyed.
BUFFY/DAWN: Mom!
CUT TO ? SUNNYDALE
FLOOR ? INT.MAGIC BOX ? NIGHT
SPIKE and DAWN are sat on the floor behind the cash desk of The Magic Box. SPIKE is reading from GILES' diary and she is listening to him. He's recently taken the book from DAWN?she'd stopped reading, horrified?
SPIKE: ?"They had to be certain the Slayer would protect it with her life. So they sent the key to her ... in human form. In the form of a sister."
DAWN looks down horrified.
CUT TO ? SUNNYDALE
TABLE ? INT.MAGIC BOX ? EVENING
BUFFY is standing across the table of QUENTIN TRAVERS, head of The Watchers Council. She's looking at him determined.
BUFFY: Just tell me what kind of demon I'm fighting.
QUENTIN: Well, that's the thing, you see. Glory isn't a demon.
BUFFY: What is she?
TRAVERS: She's a god.
BUFFY: (long pause, her eyes widen) Oh.
CUT TO ? SUNNYDALE
TABLE ? INT.MAGIC BOX ? NIGHT
The whole gang are sat around the table, listening intently to what GILES is telling them.
GILES: Glory plans to open a dimensional portal by way of a ritual bloodletting?
Various montage images now show from Season Five of Buffy The Vampire Slayer. GLORY torturing the monk; GLORY draining TARA.
BUFFY (V/O): Dawn's blood.
We now see WILLOW attacking GLORY with the full force of the dark arts. SPIKE and DAWN meeting with DOC.
GILES (V/O): Yes. Once the blood is shed at a certain time and place ... the fabric which separates all realities will be ripped apart?.
We then see DAWN and BUFFY holding eachother and their blood stained hands; Summer's blood. GLORY grabbing DAWN'S hand and running off with her in the desert.
GILES: (V/O) ?Dimensions will pour into one another. Reality as we know it will be destroyed, and chaos will reign on earth.
Finally DAWN is tied up and gagged, sitting on a chair. GLORY looks over to her with a maniacal smile. Finally the montage ends and focuses back on BUFFY and the gang who are looking spooked in The Magic Box
BUFFY: So how do we stop it?
GILES: Buffy, the only way is to kill Dawn?
The camera closes in on BUFFY'S face filled with despair, loss of hope.
FADE TO BLACK
TEASER
The screen is black. All we hear are voices. Nothing else.
KID (V/O): H-how'd you do that?
BUFFY (V/O): It's what I do?
BUFFY (V/O): No! No, you don't understand. We are not talking about this.
GILES (V/O): Yes, we bloody well are!
BUFFY (V/O): ?Tell me to kill my sister.
GILES (V/O): She's not your sister.
BUFFY (V/O): I'm sorry. I love you all ... but I'm sorry.
TARA (V/O): Big day. Oh, it calls me! I have to be there!
GLORY (V/O): ?Since she's not really your sister, I'm guessin' she isn't gonna show. And if she does...it might not be to save you.
DAWN: (whispers) Buffy?
BUFFY (V/O): ?If Dawn dies, I'm done with it. I'm quitting.
GLORY (V/O): ?You. What are you doing here?
WILLOW (V/O): She's with me.
DAWN (V/O): You. You can help me. Untie me. Please. Help me, she's coming.
DOC (V/O) Hey! Kid. Wanna see a trick?
DAWN screams.
CUT TO ? SUNNYDALE
GLORY'S TOWER ? EXT.BUILDING SITE ? EARLY MORNING
CAPTION: LATER?
Night has moved on. The morning is about to arrive, the sun on the brink of the horizon. The camera shows the swaying and unpredictable tower GLORY'S mad henchman have erected. On top of it stands the Slayer, BUFFY SUMMERS, and her younger sister, DAWN. They both look around desperately. BUFFY, just seconds before had pushed DOC, GLORY'S worshipper, off the tower. They now stand and watch the destruction of everything. Hope is lost. DAWN knows she has no choice, she tries to run past BUFFY, but BUFFY grabs her.
BUFFY: What are you doing?
DAWN: I have to jump. The energy.
BUFFY: It'll kill you.
DAWN: (softly) I know. (BUFFY staring at her) Buffy, I know about the ritual. I have to stop it.
BUFFY: No.
The tower shakes underneath them, making them both stumble.
DAWN: I have to. Look at what's happening.
More lightning crackles, even larger than before. BUFFY looks up. A huge dragon flies out of the portal and buzzes the tower. It's a monstrous creature, forgotten and disregarded. But this being, will become one of the greatest heroes of all time?
The sisters watch it roar monstrously through the sky of that fateful morning. As we've seen before, w now see it flying away as they watch...
CUT TO ? SUNNYDALE
SKY ? EXT.SUNNYDALE STREETS ? EARLY MORNING
...The camera however, doesn't stay with BUFFY or DAWN this time. It follows the dragon. The monster flies through Sunnydale roaring at the crowds of people fleeing in terror below. Destruction imminent. The dragon almost snarls with happiness at the pain being caused to the humans. The camera positions itself so we can see that behind the dragon, in the distance, BUFFY can be seen jumping into the portal. As BUFFY hits the energy, the dragon, now nearing the woods, roars in pain and falls to the ground. It's huge dark body skids through the woods, uprooting trees and plants ruthlessly with a tremendous noise.
CUT TO ? SUNNYDALE
ROADSIDE ? EXT.SUNNYDALE WOODS ? EARLY MORNING
Silence. No noise, almost as if serenity and peace has washed over Sunnydale. The camera moves through the trees, away from the roadside.
CUT TO ? SUNNYDALE
TRAIL ? EXT.SUNNYDALE WOODS ? EARLY MORNING
As the camera moves through the woods, clear large trail can be seen from the dragon's fall. The trail seems to decrease in size, almost as if as the dragon skidded through the woods and decreased in size as it did this. Eventually the camera stops?the trail ends. Something is there, lying on the grass amongst the trees. Cut, bruised and beaten. A YOUNG MAN is left lying where the dragon was lying. He gasps for breath, almost as if shocked to inhale this world's life source. He is tall, slim with black hair, and blue eyes. He looks at his naked body with shock, he touches his arms and wriggles his fingers. He feels his back, the wings gone. He feels his skin. He's a man. (He is played by Milo Ventimiglia)
YOUNG MAN: (weakly, gruffly) What the fu-
