ACT IV
INT. VIZIER'S SANCTUM - MOMENTS LATER
Giles looks at Amy and Lateesha.
GILES
Amy.
AMY
Giles. Xander. Good to see you again.
XANDER
Why?
AMY
What has it always been about? It's
about power. I got tired working twice
or four times of hard just even be at a
fraction of what Willow always was. I
needed something bigger than her. After
you all decided to drop Sunnydale into
the lower strata, I decided to find
someone... something that would give me
the power I always wanted.
XANDER
More Power? This is all about some
stupid jealousy thing you had about
Will?
Amy throws her arm out and Xander flies into the
wall.
AMY
Idiot. Do you have any idea what I can
do now? You won't believe the mojo I can
work.
GILES
But at what price?
AMY
Oh the price? It was well worth it.
Xander groans and points at Lateesha.
XANDER
Why her?
Amy smiles.
AMY
Let's just say my boss is mighty pissed
at you.
LIV
Who is she?
XANDER
Lateesha.
Liv looks at Xander with recognition.
AMY
Your old slayer. After you and that old
witch doctor banished my boss to another
dimension, my boss made sure that he
could communicate with me what he
wanted. As soon as your slayer passed, I
was there to possess her body to ensure
your future torment. Speaking of
which...
Amy gestures and Lateesha rushes in to attack. Liv
grabs her battle axe from the Vizier's body and
moves into fighting mode.
Xander and Giles move in to assist, but Amy waves
her arm and another izithunzela pops from the
ground blocking them. The izithunzela punches Giles
and sends him flying into a table full of arcane
objects and weaponry. Xander kicks the izithunzela
away and looks around for a weapon.
Liv is attacking Lateesha with all her strength
and skill, but Lateesha is able to block her axe
and her blows without feeling any of the pain and
dish in some punishment at the same time.
As the izithunzela approaches Xander, he looks
over to where Giles landed and sees a sword. He
dives for it and comes out swinging.
Liv does a spinning kick, knocking Lateesha back
and follows it with an overhead swing with the
battle axe. Lateesha catches the blade of the axe
between her two palms, tosses the blade to the
side and follows up with a kick to Liv's
mid-section knocking her against the wall.
Amy watches on and smirks at the battle.
Lateesha starts delivering a series of blows on
Liv which she can barely block. Eventually she
stops blocking them and starts taking the
punishment straight on... her head knocking
against the wall with each blow.
Xander fends off the izithunzela with the sword.
He looks over and sees Liv getting the tar beaten
out of her and takes action. Ducking under a punch
thrown by the izithunzela, he spins and cuts the
izithunzela in half through the mid section. He
impales the top half of the izithunzela into the
ground using the sword.
Xander tackles Lateesha to the ground. Liv falls
over unconscious. Lateesha throws Xander off of
her and begins to strangle him.
Xander looks up at his former slayer with a
pleading look.
XANDER
(strangled)
Lateesha...
The slayer turned izithunzela says nothing but
continues to choke the living crap out of Xander.
As Xander falls unconscious, Lateesha continues to
choke until...
KENNEDY
(OS)Let him go you zombie bitch!
Lateesha turns just in time to see Kennedy
(covered in Ygoop demon entrails) put a boot to
her face.
Lateesha rolls away and rises up into a fighting
stance. Kennedy smiles and rolls her neck.
KENNEDY
Okay dead girl...
Kennedy goes into a pose as well.
KENNEDY
Let's see just how good your kung fu is.
Actually... it's quite good.
What follows is a series of punches and kicks too
fast for the eyes to follow. The only problem is
that the undead creature doesn't feel the pain and
Kennedy does. As the battle goes on, Kennedy
continues to receive the punishing blows.
Bit by bit, Lateesha begins to beat down on
Kennedy. Kennedy fights back best she can and
summons her strength into a circle kick.
Lateesha dodges her kick, grabs the leg and with
one violent twist we hear a nasty cracking sound.
Kennedy falls to the ground like a rag doll.
Lateesha, still holding the leg, twists again with
more of a cracking sound. Kennedy screams in pain.
Lateesha grabs Liv's fallen battle axe and brings
it down into Kennedy as though she was chopping
wood. She raises it again and brings it down and
some blood flies as she brings the axe back up
into the air...
Liv comes out of her fog and sees Lateesha about
to bring down the axe again. She gets up to attack
Lateesha when-
VOICE
Stop!
Lateesha stops in mid-swing. Liv looks over to see
Giles standing behind Amy with a knife at her
throat.
AMY
You wouldn't.
GILES
I think you know I would.
AMY
Well then. Another day.
Amy gestures and she and Lateesha teleport out.
Giles rushes over to Kennedy and Liv checks on
Xander.
LIV
Mr. Harris?
Xander groans and looks up at Liv.
XANDER
Are you okay?
LIV
I'm fine, but...
Liv can't bring herself to finish the sentence.
Xander looks over to Kennedy and Giles.
XANDER
Oh God no.
Xander crawls to Kennedy. He pushes Giles away and
rolls her over. Her lower half of her body looks like
a pretzel.
XANDER
Ken... Oh God. Oh God.
Kennedy tries to smile.
KENNEDY
Think he's listening?
GILES
Come on. We'll get you to a-
Kennedy coughs up some blood. She smiles bitterly.
KENNEDY
Don't play with me Giles. I know what's
coming.
XANDER
Jesus Ken-
KENNEDY
Hey. It was either me or you...(coughs)
and there was no way in hell I was going
back to Red saying I let you die.
Xander chokes on something that's somewhere
between a laugh and a sob. Giles looks away. Kennedy
looks toward Liv.
KENNEDY
Hey kid.
Liv looks up tearfully at Kennedy. Kennedy coughs
up some more blood.
KENNEDY
You wanted to know where I learned about
being a slayer? I'll tell you right now
it wasn't from Buffy or Faith. It's from
the guy who risked his life for me and
paid the price for it. You want to learn
how to be a Slayer?
Kennedy thumps her fist on the center of Xander's
chest. It leaves a blood stain.
KENNEDY
It's all right here. You get me?
Tears stream down Liv's cheeks.
LIV
Yes, Ma'am.
Kennedy turns to Xander.
KENNEDY
You said something about the victims
coming back as one of them?
Xander nods.
KENNEDY
Don't let me be a victim.
Giles takes Liv by the shoulder and leads her
away.
LIV
But...
GILES
Slayer or not, You shouldn't see this.
Giles leads Liv out of the room.
XANDER
I'm sorry Kennedy.
KENNEDY
You think I didn't know this day was
coming? Quit being a wuss Harris. At
least I didn't go down like a punk.
Let's this over with.
Xander nods. He pulls the knife from Kennedy's
boot and puts it in her hand.
KENNEDY
Hey. You know what to tell her, right?
XANDER
"It didn't hurt a bit."
KENNEDY
She'll know you're lying.
Xander gives her a grim smile.
XANDER
She always does.
Kennedy looks at the knife.
KENNEDY
Man (coughs) this is going to suck.
Kennedy positions the dagger on her chest. Just as
she thrusts, Xander turns away and we...
GO TO BLACK
We hear a grunt of pain. A coughing noise then
nothing else.
