ACT II
EXT. OUTSIDE BUFALARI STADIUM
Audrey is running for it as Spike is chases after
her. She runs down a service corridor only to find
a dead end.
AUDREY
Crap! This is only supposed to happen in
movies!
Audrey turns to see Spike all white-eyed and under
the control of someone else. She starts to pray.
AUDREY
God? It's me Audrey. I swear if you get
me out of this I promise to be a better
person and not to be mean to-
Suddenly we hear a loud "thwack". Spike stumbles
and falls to the ground unconscious. Audrey looks
up to Liv standing over Spike with a large metal
pipe. Audrey immediately goes back to her usual
self.
AUDREY
About freakin' time you got here!
And with that she stomps off. Liv sighs
LIV
"Gee Liv. You saved my life from an out
of control vampire. Thank you so much."
Not a problem Audrey it's all part of
the rewarding job of being a slayer.
Liv looks around at the somewhat cruddy alley.
LIV
My life sucks.
INT. XANDER'S FIREHOUSE - MAIN ROOM
Spike comes to lying on Xander's couch. He's tied
up.
SPIKE
What the-? Bloody hell, why am I tied
up.
Xander, Maya, Audrey and Liv are in the living
room standing guard over Spike.
AUDREY
Hello! You tried to kill me!
SPIKE
Who?
XANDER
You.
SPIKE
What?
MAYA
Fall asleep next to any strange looking
plants lately?
SPIKE
Have you all gone mad?
Xander tosses a bag of Jordy's herbs and the
remote control to the TV on the table in front of
Spike.
XANDER
They used you to drug Jordy and
accelerate Pongo's growth.
Spike looks at everyone suspiciously.
SPIKE
No one here's been singing any folk
songs lately, have they?
Xander shakes his head.
XANDER
I should have realized before Spike. You
shouldn't be here. You are our
vulnerable spot.
SPIKE
What?
XANDER
Go ahead and untie him.
Liv starts setting Spike free.
XANDER
The big bad? They got some major mojo
over the dead. They took control of you
and did something to Jordy's herbs and
put some sort of rune on the inside of
the remote control to affect Pongo. From
what I've "seen" they've been taking
control of your body while you slept.
SPIKE
Bloody hell.
LIV
But what about the other Oracle?
XANDER
Whistler said that they always come in
pairs. I guess the acceleration on Pongo
affected her as well.
SPIKE
So, what's the plan? How do we stop them
from turning me into the sleepwalker
from hell?
XANDER
Not a thing. You're too dangerous to
have around.
Xander slides a leather bag across the floor to
Spike.
XANDER
You're leaving.
SPIKE
Are you nuts? That's probably been the
plan the entire time! Get rid of me and
then it's just you and the slayer.
XANDER
You're too dangerous to have around
Spike. If tonight hasn't proven that I
don't know what has.
SPIKE
You're insane Harris. Can't you see
what's going on here?
XANDER
I see more clearly than I ever did. You.
Can't. Be. Here.
A flicker of doubt crosses Spike's face. Xander
walks over to Spike and puts his hand on his
shoulder.
XANDER
You're too much of a liability. If you
stick around here we're done for.
Understand?
Spike gives Xander a strange look.
SPIKE
A nod's as good as a wink to a blind
man.
Xander nods.
XANDER
Now get the hell out.
Spike sneers.
SPIKE
Don't have to tell me twice.
Spike picks up the bag and is out the door.
AUDREY
Wait... so now I just have Freakshow
guarding me?
LIV
(sarcastic)
Gee Audrey! We'll have so much fun! We
can sleep over and be the best of
friends.
XANDER
Zip it!
Audrey and Liv look at Xander in amazement. Xander
walks over and puts his hand on Liv's shoulder.
XANDER
With Spike gone we can't be at each
other's throats... Understand?
LIV
Right.
XANDER
I'm calling the council for
reinforcements, but for the next few
days-
INT. VIZIER'S SANCTUM
The Vizier and Amy watch Xander & Co. via their
"Spy" portal.
XANDER
(filtered)
-it's just us. But I have a-
The Vizier waves his arm and the scene continues
muted.
VIZIER
He did not kill the girl.
AMY
No matter. She is practically powerless.
And with Spike gone...
VIZIER
The slayer has no more supernatural
backup. Back where I come from, we have
a saying about situations like these.
AMY
What's that?
VIZIER
Het gemakkelijke plukken.
AMY
Which means?
VIZIER
Easy pickin's.
The Cloaked Figure steps out of the shadows. With
a tentacle, it pulls back it's hood to reveal what
could best be described as a giant black squid
head with multiple iridescent eyes. Its name is
Nuggano Eyia. He's pretty ugly.
Loyal readers... Meet the season's new big bad.
NUGGANO
Send the izithunzela after the girl.
Hold back the Kosoko. She is for the
Watcher and his slayer alone.
