ACT 1.
We see a football field, and a game is about to start. One team is already on the field.
Over the loud speaker. The song "Down with the Sickness, by Disturbed" begins to play.
The other team walks onto the field, with Wolverines on their jerseys. The game begins, and
the wolverines are destroying the other team. It looks less like a game, and more like a
mugging. They don't even seem to be trying, but are winning all the same. Suddenly the
other team does get the ball. But the quarterback runs, with unbelievable speed, and tackles.
It sounds like a truck hitting someone. The ref goes, and checks on the hurt player. Blood is
poring from his mouth, and his chest seems caved in.
REF.
Oh My God! He's dead!
The Quarterback just looks, as the music plays.
MUSIC.
Get up, and get down, with the sickness. Get up, and get down with the sickness, open up
your hate, and let it flow into me.
____________________________________________________________________________
Skyler walked down the hall, to the principal's office. School had become a lonely place for her.
Yes, she'd always hated school, even when she had friends. But now it was her against
the world. At first they left her alone after the shooting. But it faded quickly. And rumors
started about when (not if) she would pull a gun. At least she was out of her cast now. But it
was a small confront
She opened the door, and the principle was sitting there.
PRINCIPAL.
Sit down Miss Fox. I want to talk about what happened.
SKYLER.
Can we just?
PRINCIPAL.
You will listen! I should have seen this coming. You and your friends where nothing but trouble.
Your obsessed with death. You listen to that ungodly music, which by the way, is now banned.
So if you listen to it on premises. (he notices her shirt, with Slayer, The band, not the Chosen
one, on it). Or where things like that, you will be sent home.
SKYLER.
Oh, so Kelly can dress like a whore, but I.
PRINCIPAL.
If you say another word, even if it's sorry, your suspended for a month! I'm sure your foster
father will love that. (She sits down.) I would just send you to jail, with your friend. Since I'm
sure you helped him plan it. I'm just lucky he only got another delineate, and not a good
student. (Skyler wanted to choke him to death. But then that would prove his point). But the
bored won't let me. If fact they want to help you. But I'm watching you. (He pulls out a
picture from his desk) My late brother, God rest his soul, he knew how to deal
with you mongrels. (We see the picture. It's Snyder.) He wasn't about touchy, feel crap.
He was a man of order. So am I. Don't cross me. Have a nice day.
She left, and walked down the hall. We Kelly, and her friends came up to her.
GIRL 1.
Uh oh, It's one of the Children of the Corn. Be careful, she'll shoot you.
SKYLER.
Fuck you.
GIRL 2.
No, I'm afraid I'm not going to be your new girlfriend. I saw what happened to the last one.
SKYLER.
What did you say?
KELLY.
Guys' leave her alone.
GIRL 2.
Why, she's a freak, psycho, like her Mom. (suddenly Skyler takes the girl to the floor, and
begins pouncing on her. A teacher come up, and pulls her off).
TEACHER.
What's the meaning off this?
GIRL.
She just jump me, for no reason.
KELLY.
That's a lie! She was talking about her dead friend. (Skyler looks like she's just seen a ghost)
TEACHER.
Well, that's no excuses for fighting. But Your out of line to, young lady. I'm going to forget this,
but don't let it happen again. (The teacher walks away)
GIRL 1.
What's your problem Kelly? Your taking up for her now? Well, fuck you! (They walk away.)
KELLY.
You OK?
SKYLER.
What are you doing?
KELLY.
I was just trying to help. I
SKYLER.
I DON'T WANT YOUR HELP, YOU FUCKING WHORE!
KELLY.
Look, I don't blame you. I know I've never been nice to you, But. I'm sorry. I know what
happened.
SKYLER.
Oh, I get it. You feel guilty, because you drove Zeke to do it. And now you've changed.
Found God, right. Well, go whine to him, cause I don't want to hear it!
KELLY.
Look, I'm sorry, I know I.
SKYLER.
You want to make it up to me? Kill yourself!
KELLY.
Forget it. (She walks off.)
Later Kelly runs into Mike, her boyfriend.
MIKE.
Hey babe. I missed you.
KELLY.
Yeah, me too. (Then she sees the Quarterback walk in) Hey, I though he was suspended,
will they investigated him. I mean after what happened.
MIKE.
Nah, his dad threatened to sue the school. I mean is was an accident. Just one of those
freak things, you know. (Just then, a small boy walks by) Just a second (He trips him)
Oh hey, sorry about that. Floor was just cleaned, hate to get it dirty.
KELLY.
Mike stop. Just leave him alone.
MIKE.
Babe, this is a guy thing. (Just then some guys in leather jackets walk up. If you've ever
seen The Outsides, it looks like the Greasers, vs the Socies)
GREASER 1.
You want to keep you hands off my little brother?
MIKE.
No, I don't.
The rest of the football team comes over) The lead greaser punches Mike, but
he doesn't even seem to feel it. He punches the greaser, and he goes down, and spits out
some teeth. One of the other greasers picks up a chair, and smashes it over his head.
Again nothing. Suddenly all the team goes at them. It's like a one sides mugging. Finally
Mike hits the greaser, and sends him flying, into the wall. (And I do mean flying. At least
twenty feet.) He walks over to him.
MIKE.
Find a new school, shitstain. You kind's not welcome here. (They all leave, and he turns to Kelly)
You coming? (She gets up, and leaves. From the side, Skyler is watching).
SKYLER.
The football team is evil? I KNEW IT!
_______________________________________________________________________________
ACT 2.
Faith is sitting in front off the TV. Watching It's an infomercial. Suddenly there's a knock at the
door. She opens it, and it's Skyler.
FAITH.
Hey, kid. I have.
SKYLER.
Is Kenny here?
FAITH.
Uh, no, she's still at work, Can I
SKYLER.
I'll come back, later. (she turns to leave, but Faith gets in her way) Wait, please just wait. Look,
I'm sorry about.
SKYLER.
I don't care.
FAITH.
Come on, Wednesday, just let me.
SKYLER.
DON'T call me that!
FAITH .
Uh OK. Skyler. Look, I'm sorry about what happened.
SKYLER.
You mean trying to kill me?
FAITH.
I didn't. It was.
SKYLER.
Save it. I know you were switched. But it was you. You did that, to me.
FAITH.
I know. And I know I can't change it. But I swear I'm not that person anymore. I'll do anything.
Please just give me a chance.
SKYLER.
(Sigh) I can't. I trusted you. I though you were my friend, But you just hurt me.
(Just then Kenny came in)
KENNEDY.
Hey kid. What's up?
SKYLER.
The Football team is evil.
KENNEDY.
Did you have a vision?
SKYLER.
No, but they threw a guy across the room. Like twenty feet. And you heard about the guy
killed, at the game.
KENNEDY.
Yeah, said he was crushed to death, when he was hit. But that doesn't mean it's evil.
(Skyler gives her a dirty look) I'm not saying your wrong, I just think we need more.
Well, look into it. Let's go talk to Dogboy.
SKYLER.
I though he was done.
KENNEDY.
Well, I overruled him.
SKYLER.
You guys fight like a married couple.
KENNEDY.
If you want to die, keep talking. Faith, we have to go, for awhile.
FAITH.
Yeah, good luck.
SKYLER.
(To Faith) I think you should come to.
FAITH.
You do?
SKYLER.
Just because we'll probably need your help. That's all.
FAITH.
(Disappointed look) Oh. Yeah OK.
KENNEDY.
Kid, you don't have to, if.
SKYLER.
Just don't let her touch me.
_________________________________________________________________________
Oz is standing behind the counter, as The gang walked in.
OZ.
Hey guys, what's up?
KENNEDY.
Hey Oz, we might have a problem. I know you don't.
OZ.
I'm not out, and we know it. Just tell me. (Then he looks at Faith) You back?
FAITH.
I'm just helping. It's your show. I'm just here to kill things. (Skyler looks nervous) Oh kid,
I didn't mean.
SKYLER.
It's OK. Let's just forget it. Anyway the football team is evil.
OZ.
Well, yeah, that's without saying. But what's that got to do, with us?
SKYLER.
No, I mean they're really evil. Like Demon evil. I was at school, and the team captain tossed
a guy, like twenty feet. And one got hit with a chair, and didn't even feel it.
OZ.
So it's a job for the New Scobbies hu?
SKYLER.
Yeah. Wait, what?
SKYLER.
Oh, that's what we called are selves, back in Sunnydale.
SKYLER.
On purpose? You mean one of you came up with the name, and instead of hitting them, you
said it was a good idea?
OZ.
Well, Uh. It's was, Huh.
KENNEDY.
It is a kind of dumb name, Oz.
OZ.
Well, what should we call are selves, the Freaky Four?
KENNEDY.
Why do we need a name? This isn't a Cartoon.
OZ.
We just do. I can't discus it
SKYLER.
We could call are selves the Hell Patrol.
KENNEDY.
What?
FAITH.
Isn't that a Judas Priest song? Isn't that before your time?
SKYLER.
I like anything violent.
OZ.
Yeah, let's name are selves after a hair band, that's classy.
FAITH.
Hey, I like Priest, so fuck you.
OZ.
Please, I'm just glad Kurt Cobain saved us, from all that.
FAITH.
(Mocking) Kurt Cobain. Please, I'm so sick of hearing about him. He was a no talent looser,
end of story. But then I'd probably off myself, if I was married to Courtney Too.
OZ.
Blasphemy.
SKYLER.
Hey, I like both. Better than backstreet boys.
OZ.
Can't like both, It's like being a Christian and a Satanist. You have to pick one.
KENNEDY.
Is it really that important?
FAITH, and OZ.
YES!
KENNEDY.
Fine, we'll just forget about the Killer football team.
FAITH.
(Glaring at Oz) this isn't over.
OZ.
(Glaring at Faith) Bring it on.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Faith, and the others are at the mall, watching the team.
KENNEDY.
Well, so far they just seem like normal teenaged jocks. Mean bullies, that are scared to come
out of the closet.
OZ.
Hey, did you ever bully people, because of that?
KENNEDY.
Uh, I take the fifth.
FAITH.
I don't know Wed, Uh Skyler. I think they may just.
SKYLER.
Did I say, you could talk to me?
Faith walks away, and Oz goes to her.
OZ.
Just give her some time.
FAITH.
Yeah, then she'll hate me more.
OZ.
Probably. But I know what your going though. Some evil takes you over, and makes
you kill. Been there.
FAITH.
Thanks, if I didn't say it before. If you hadn't killed that guy, I'd still be that way.
OZ.
Actually I didn't. There was this biker. I don't know who he was, but he shot the guy, and
took off.
FAITH.
What? And you've never seen him? Something happened to me, a while ago, to. There was
this guy.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
AN OLD CHURCH.
An old Hispanic Priest walks into the sanctuary. Suddenly he jears someone behind him,
and turn, to see Jesse there, holding a gun.
JESSE.
Bless me Father, I have sinned
PRIEST.
(Pushes the gun down) No kiding. To what do I ow the pleaser?
JESSE.
Need another favor.
PRIEST.
I should have known, it wasn't a social call. Stolen guns, I take it?
JESSE.
Stolen from evil men.
PRIEST.
That doesn't make it right.
JESSE.
Come on, Padre. They stold them from someone else. And they were going to sell them
to kids, to use on other kids. Like thats shit, at the high school. Now there going to a
much holier purpose.
PRIEST.
You don't believe that, Jesse. Your just telling me what I want to hear, so I'll help you.
JESSE.
Is it working?
PRIEST.
Why do you come here. You don't even believe, even though he helps you, fight them.
JESSE.
Psychosomatic. They believe it works, so it do. I've seen vampires, werewolves, but
I have yet to see a man walk on water.
PRIEST.
Maybe your looking in the wrong place.
JESSE.
Or maybe your seeing things, that aren't there.
PRIEST.
This is about Nicadiams, isn't it? Jesse let it go. You can't kill him. Even if you could
it won't bring back what you've lost.
JESSE.
It'll keep him from hurting someone else. Besides Maggie thinks we have a chanch. There's
a slayer. Maggie thinks she can kill him.
PRIEST.
Maggie's a very troubled girl.
JESSE.
Well yeah, putting your own eyes out, with a butcher knife, isn't something sane people do.
But she's mostly right about these things. So are you going to help, Or not?
PRIEST.
I always do.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Faith, and the others watch, as they football team hang out. They were in the mall parking
lot, and it was Tuesday.
MIKE.
I'm bored, Babe, let's Go.
KELLY.
Can't we just hang out?
MIKE.
(Scary look) Let's Go!
They get in, and drive away, leaving the rest of the team.
CAPTAIN.
(Walks up to some girl) Hey babe, let's go somewhere, and fuck.
GIRL.
Oh My God! Can you be a little more of a pig? I don't even know you!
CAPTAIN.
I'm Dave, now get in. (She starts to walk away, and he grabs her, and shoves her against
the car) Did I say, you could leave?
GIRL.
HELP! PLEASE.
FAITH.
She said no, asshole. Don't you speak English?
DAVE.
Maybe you want to take her place.
Faith hits him, but he just smiles at her. She hits him again, at full strength, and sends him,
into the wall. But he doesn't even seem to feel it, as he gets up. With lighting speed, he
slams into her, and begins pounding her, She's been hit harder, but not by many. She
finally manages to flip him, and kicks him, in the head, as she gets up. But he just shakes it
off, as he starts swinging. Faith keeps moving, and hitting. She is rocking him, if not hurting
him.
DAVE.
How'd you get so strong, little girl? You been digging in are stash?
FAITH.
Nah, I just eat my spinach. But tell me more, about your stash (Kenny, and Oz run up, and
so does the rest of the team.
Faith, and the gang fight well, but there out numbered. And they feel pain Slowly The all start
dropping.
DAVE.
(Pointing to Oz) What's up with this? He's all hairy.
TEAM MEMBER.
Must be a reaction to the stuff.
FAITH.
What stuff?
DAVE.
(Punches her, and breaks her nose) DON'T PLAY WITH ME, BITCH! HOW'D YOU GET IT?
(Suddenly they vanish) What the fuck?
____________________________________________________________________________
ACT .
Sevral yards away, Skyler is sitting if front of some crystals, and chanting. Suddenly the
gang appears.
KENNEDY.
What just happened?
SKYLER.
I just saved you, and (Falls) Whoa, that wasn't good.
FAITH.
You have to be carful, when you.
SKYLER.
(Slaping her hand away) I don't want you help!
FAITH.
Sorry. Look, I don't think they were demons. It think it's something else. He said something
about a stash. I think there taking something. Like super steroids, or something.
OZ.
Maybe, It's like what Riley was on, in the Initiative. (They all look at him) Oh right, you weren't
there. I have all these references, I can't use. (Looking at camera) thanks Axel.
SKYLER.
I uh, I
KENNEDY.
What is it, Kid?
SKYLER.
I I IIIIAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!! (She grabs her head, as a vision hits her. It's off a guy, in her school)
Ow. Couldn't you guys have done that, BEFORE WE GOT ARE ASSES KICKED? YOU
GUYS NEED TO BE IMPEACHED! (She pulls out some paper, and writes down an address),
See this guy. It came with my vision. I need to get home. (She takes off)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Later she gets home, and tries to sneak in, but her father is waiting.
DAD.
Where the HELL have you been?
SKYLER.
I can explain.
DAD.
I'm sure you can! Just like you can explain your grades dropping! AND WHY YOU SNEAK OUT,
AND LIE ABOUT WHERE YOU'VE BEEN!
SKYLER.
I've had a lot going on.
DAD.
Really? Like you having epilepsy? Funny, I don't remember a doctor telling me that! And being a
doctor myself, I think I'd know! I've warned you before!
SKYLER.
NO! Please don't do that!
DAD.
Why not, it's clearly what you want! (Calmer) Skyler, I know you've been though a lot. Before you
came here. What happened with your friend. I want to help you, but you won't let me. Your going to
have to give me something. Or I'm going to have no choice, but to send you back the foster
home. Or don't you want to stay?
SKYLER.
(Crying) I do. I'm sorry, I can't explain. Thing have been weird, I just can't talk about it.
DAD.
That's not good enough. How can I trust you, when you don't trust me. ( he leaves, and she talks
to the sky)
SKYLER.
Why couldn't you get someone else? He's the only one that's ever wanted me. And now he's
going to send me back, because of you.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The guy from Skyler's vision walks to his car, as Faith, Oz, and Kenny step out.
FAITH.
Hey, got a minute.
GUY.
Somewhere to be, babycakes. Can't talk.
FAITH.
Let me rephrase that. (she throws him into the wall) What did you give the football team?
GUY.
I don't know what (She breaks his nose) OK I'll talk! I guess you took some. They asked for
it. They sucked as a team, so I gave them some special stuff. Steirodes, with a little Magic.
And I mean REAL magic. Gives them power. In exchange for a short lifespand. I kind of left
that part out.
FAITH.
It's killing them! And your just letting it?
GUY.
There big boys, they can think for themselves. I didn't force it. Contrary to what the after
school special tell you, I never push anything. They know what I am, when they come to me.
They die, it's there fault.
FAITH.
What about the people they hurt, wile their on that shit?
GUY.
Not my problem.
FAITH.
(Pulling out a knife) It is now. If there's a cure, give it to me, or I kill you.
GUY.
Your bluffing!
FAITH.
I almost beat a friend to death not to long ago. So this is nothing!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Later They find the football team. Hiding in the bushes, Kenny shoots them with darts, with the
antidote, one by one. Finally the walk out, after they all fall.
TEAM MEMBER.
What did you do! You bitches!
KENNEDY.
We just saved you ass, jerks! That shit was killing you!
FAITH.
Hey, one of them's missing. Where is he?
TEAM MEMBER.
Settling some business.
Outside Skyler's house, Mike is smiling.
KELLY.
Stop it Mike. Let's just go, before (Mike hits her, and drops her.) IU'm sick of you, bitch! I'll find
some new pussy! After I settle some business.
__________________________________________________________________________________
ACT 3.
Inside Skyler's dad hears a knock, and opens the door.
DAD.
Can I help you?
MIKE.
I'm here to see Skyler.
DAD.
It's kind of late, maybe you could come back tomorrow.
MIKE.
(Hits the dad, and sends him flying) I'm afraid I must insist.
SKYLER.
(Running down stairs) What are you doing!
MIKE.
Settling a score. Your friend out a gun in my face! He's in jail, and the other bitch, is dead, but
that leaves you. And I don't leave things unfinished.
Skyler's dad picks up a chair, and hits Mike, but he just grabs him, and begins to choke him.
Skyler's says some words, and small sparks come from them.
SKYLER.
Come on! Work! (She does it again, this time lighting comes from her hands, and sends Mike into
the wall. Then she falls, and her dad runs to her.
DAD.
Are you OK? What just happened?
MIKE.
(Getting up) Bitch! I don't know how you did that, but it was a BIG mistake!
Suddenly Faith crashes though the window, and begins hitting Mike, and kicking him. Mike swings
wildly, but misses, Faith knocks him down, and tries to give the antidote. But he takes her legs
out, and kicks it away. He picks her up, and begins slamming her, into the wall, and drives her, into
the floor. He picks up the refrigerator, and tries to cave her skull in. But she moves, and kicks his legs
out. The fridge falls on him, and traps him. She grabs the needle, and gives it to him, moving the
fridge, before it wears off.
FAITH.
You OK, Kid?
SKYLER.
Yeah.
DAD.
What's going on>
SKYLER.
It's kind of a long story.
______________________________________________________________________________________
ACT 4.
The next Day Skyler came, to the apartment.
KENNEDY.
So you told him everything?
SKYLER.
Yeah. He's kind of freaked. I think he may send me back. But at least I don't have to lie.(turning to
Faith) Thanks. For helping me. (Faith starts to speak, but gets cut off) It doesn't mean I forgive you.
But Thanks. (Then she leaves.)
KENNEDY.
I know that's not what you where hoping for.
FAITH.
It's a start. I just have to wait.
KENNEDY.
One thing bothers me. That dealer. He just goes on, and keeps poising people.
FAITH.
Well, I think he knows not to sell that stuff, anymore. But we're not cops. Not
are job.
KENNEDY.
Yeah, well it still sucks.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Dealer is talking to someone, in an alley.
DEALER.
What'd need, bother. I got it.
MAN.
I hear you got a special steroid. Can you hook me up.
DEALER.
Well, I've had some heat over that. But I think I can hook you up.
MAN.
So your still selling it, after all the pain, you caused.
DEALER.
What do you? (The man shoots the dealer, and steps into the light, showing his face.
JESSE.
All I needed to know.
