ACT III
INT. XANDER'S FIREHOUSE - MAIN ROOM - NIGHT
Audrey is foaming at the mouth in anger as Xander,
Maya and Liv sit on the couch and watch her rant.
AUDREY
I mean it's supposed to be my crowning
achievement in High School. Instead I
have to go all Marlon Brando on it.
MAYA
Can you make it stop?
XANDER
Sorry. I zoned. What's the problem now?
MAYA
She's Marlon Brando.
AUDREY
That's not what I said! This is so not
the Academy Awards where "So and so
couldn't be here so I accept this award
on her behalf." This is the rank of
queen we are talking about!
XANDER
Oh sweet mother of God.
LIV
Hey. I wanted to tranquilize her, but
you wouldn't let me.
AUDREY
I can't help it if you all are socially
lacking when it comes to High School
rituals! This was supposed to be my
night!
Audrey continues to blather on. Xander gets a
dreamy expression and smiles.
MAYA
What are you so happy about?
XANDER
Just wondering what would have happened
if I was better friends with Tucker.
Liv pouts.
LIV
Tucker?
XANDER
Not the "blow-up-everything-when-he
happens-to-be-around-you" Tucker. The
"let's-train-demons-to-attack-people-in
formal-wear" Tucker I knew in high
school.
Suddenly Liv and Maya are wearing the dreamy
expression smile as well.
LIV
Oh yeah.
MAYA
That'd be cool.
AUDREY
Are you guys paying attention to
anything I'm saying?
ALL
No!
Audrey does the impossible... and gets meaner. She
scowls and slaps both hands down on the table in
front of her. Xander, Liv and Maya pull back in
fear.
AUDREY
Listen up creeps! This is it! I don't
care if there are horde of demons out
there hunting for my beautifully tanned
but highly moisturized hide! I'm done!
I'm through! I quit! No power on this
earth is going to make me spend one
itsy-bitsy tenth more of a second with
you! If it means I have to die then-
Glass shatters. Wood splinters and the horde of
izithunzela burst into the firehouse.
AUDREY
Holy crap!!
XANDER
Oh thank God! The horde of demons
finally made it. Let's move people!
Xander and Liv grab a couple of leather satchels
and run for the stairs. Audrey is rooted in fear
as the horde of izithunzelas slowly approach.
AUDREY
Oh god. I don't wanna die.
Maya grabs Audrey's arm and drags her to the
stairs.
MAYA
I wish you'd make up your mind!!
INT. XANDER'S FIREHOUSE - STAIRCASE
Our heroes race up the steps.
LIV
Are you sure you want to do this?!
XANDER
You're asking me this now?!
LIV
Okay... so bad timing.
INT. XANDER'S FIREHOUSE - TRAINING ROOM
The crew runs across the room to the fire pole.
Liv is about to jump on the pole, but Xander stops
her.
XANDER
Wait a second. We want to get as many in
as we can.
AUDREY
What the hell is going on here?!
XANDER
(to Liv)
You didn't tell her the plan?
LIV
Where's the fun in that?
XANDER
You think this is fun?
MAYA
Uh... guys?
Maya points to the encroaching horde of zombies
coming up the steps.
MAYA
Can we go now?
XANDER
Go!
Grabbing the bags everyone slides down the pole
to...
INT. XANDER'S FIREHOUSE - MAIN ROOM
Liv lands first, pulls out her battle axe and
starts clearing a path. Xander pulls out a sword
from the weapons satchel and starts doing the same
as he pulls out his cell.
XANDER
(into cell phone)
Moose to Sherman. Invitations are out.
No need to RSVP.
Xander tosses a bag to Maya.
XANDER
Weapons and spells
Xander tosses the other bag to Audrey.
XANDER
Bag of African artifacts. Guard them
with your life.
AUDREY
Oh crap! We're going to die aren't we?
Liv manages to clear a path to the door. Maya
grabs and drags Audrey through it.
MAYA
Shut up Audrey!
EXT. XANDER'S FIREHOUSE - FRONT ENTRANCE
The crew runs out to see... Well a ton of
destroyed izithunzelas and Spike smoking a
cigarette wearing a strange looking charm around
his neck..
XANDER
You're early.
SPIKE
Got bored.
INT. VIZIER'S SANCTUM
The Vizier looks like he's about to burst a blood
vessel.
VIZIER
What the hell-
EXT. XANDER'S STREET
AUDREY
-are you doing here?!
Everyone is running full blast away from Xander's
house.
SPIKE
You didn't tell her?
LIV
It's more fun this way.
INT. XANDER'S FIREHOUSE - MAIN ROOM - FLASHBACK
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.
Suddenly the view switches to...
INT. SPIKE'S CRYPT FROM SUNNYDALE
Spike and Xander are alone. And Xander still has
his hand on Spike's shoulder.
SPIKE
Bloody hell! This is my...
XANDER
No time to talk. This is a vision only
you and I are sharing. We're being
watched in my house. Take the bag.
There's a charm in there that will
protect you from being possessed. I've
got a premonition that we are going to
be attacked tomorrow night. Hide out
around here and wait for my signal.
INT. XANDER'S FIREHOUSE - MAIN ROOM - FLASHBACK
XANDER
Understand?
Spike gives Xander a strange look.
SPIKE
A nod's as good as a wink to a blind
man.
EXT. OUTSIDE XANDER'S FIREHOUSE - PRESENT
AUDREY
That was just an act?! How come nobody
told me?
Xander gives Liv a look.
LIV
Told you it was more fun this way.
MAYA
Uh guys? Does anyone notice that they
are coming after us?
They all look back to see the izithunzela slowing
coming out of the house.
AUDREY
(to Liv)
So he told you everything the same way?
LIV
Yeah. We were able to move most of the
important stuff out in time.
AUDREY
In time for what?
Xander pulls out a remote device.
XANDER
This.
Xander pushes the jolly-like candy button and...
ANGLE ON: XANDER'S FIREHOUSE
In one spectacular explosion Xander's firehouse is
reduced to rubble.
AUDREY
Holy-
INT. VIZIER'S SANCTUM
AMY
Crap!
VIZIER
What should we do?
Amy gives the Vizier a look.
AMY
Call in the cavalry.
EXT. OUTSIDE THE REMAINS OF XANDER'S FIREHOUSE
Everyone looks at the charred remains of Xander's
home.
SPIKE
Bloody hell! When did you have time to
do that?
XANDER
Right before you moved in. I figured
sooner or later I'd get overrun, so...
SPIKE
I could've been blown to kingdom come.
XANDER
Nah. I was careful.
LIV
Um... Mr. Harris?
Liv points to down the street. Another horde of
izithunzela moves along.
XANDER
Crap! There's more.
SPIKE
Wouldn't happen to have another home
would you?
XANDER
No.
MAYA
So what's the plan?
XANDER
Stiff upper lip. Weapons ready... and
run like hell.
Everyone takes off at full speed down the street.
SPIKE
I thought you were supposed to be
getting visions of these things!
XANDER
Well, I saw the first horde!
MAYA
What about the third?!
The all look ahead to see another horde coming at
them.
LIV
Aw Crap! These guys are everywhere!
AUDREY
How can one town have so many bodies?!
XANDER
Cemetery. Let's go.
Everyone dashes off except for Spike who rolls his
eyes.
SPIKE
Cemetery. Yeah. We'll be safe there.
XANDER(OS)
Spike!
Spike starts ambling after them.
SPIKE
I'm coming you stupid ponce!
EXT. CAPE KENNETH - CEMETERY
The gang runs at full speed into the cemetery only
to find themselves surrounded.
XANDER
Damn it.
SPIKE
Some seer you are.
XANDER
Yeah well, bite me.
SPIKE
I can arrange that.
LIV
Uh... guys what's the plan?
XANDER
Well... Kind of winging it now Liv.
The Izithunzela start their attack. Spike, Xander
and Liv circle around Maya and Audrey.
AUDREY
"Winging it"? Are you kidding me?! My
life depends on you "winging it"?
Audrey reaches into the bag of artifacts and
throws it at Xander's head.
XANDER
Ow! Hey! If you expect to live through
this you better-
AUDREY
Shut up! This is all your fault! I'll
throw things if I damn well-
Audrey yanks out another artifact from the bag and
starts to throw it, when it suddenly begins to
pulse light.
AUDREY
What the-
Light streams from the artifact and surrounds
Audrey.
AUDREY
Oh sweet Jesus I'm going to-
Light explodes from around Audrey's body knocking
over Xander, Spike, Liv and Maya. All the
izithunzela are then hit, dissolving them to dust.
AUDREY
Holy crap!
INT. VIZIER'S SANCTUM
Nuggano is not pleased. Amy and the Vizier are
stunned.
NUGGANO
NO!
AMY
Not good.
VIZIER
Definitely not good.
EXT. CAPE KENNETH CEMETERY
The artifact dissolves in Audrey's hand. She
stands there stunned. Everyone looks at her
stunned.
SPIKE
Bloody Hell!
AUDREY
Holy crap!
MAYA
Did Audrey just save our lives?
LIV
Man she's never going to let us live
this down.
XANDER
Okay... quick question! Couldn't you
have done that BEFORE I BLEW UP MY
HOUSE?!
AUDREY
Huh? Wha... What happened?
SPIKE
Looks like you just got all "Iggy" with
it..
AUDREY
I got all what with the what?
XANDER
She had the same ability to talk to the
dead as Igqhira. Something about those
items that were brought over from Africa
must have triggered it. Congratulations
Audrey. You're a mystic.
AUDREY
You mean I'm.. I'm.. I'm a witch?
Maya and Liv burst out laughing. Audrey scowls at
them.
MAYA
Hey... you said it. Not me.
INT. VIZIER'S SANCTUM
NUGGANO
Summon my army. We must defeat them
before the igqhira gains in power.
AMY
Unfortunately... we are short on bodies
at the moment.
VIZIER
It will take time to raise another.
Nuggano lets out something between a nasty gurgle
and a growl.
AMY
They used the old igqhira's artifact too
quickly. They will not be able to
replace it.
VIZIER
They also did not destroy the Kosoko
The slayer formerly known as Lateesha, now a
izithunzela steps forward into the light.
AMY
Next time... they won't be so lucky.
NUGGANO
You better hope so. For your sake.
