ACT 1.
We see a Desert.
A hooded man is walking toward a fire. As he gets closer we see an old woman sitting
there.
WOMAN.
Why have you sought me out?
MAN.
(As he speaks, his face comes into view) My name is Nicadimas. I have been told you have
power.
WOMAN.
Yes. I was once a member of the most powerful coven, in the world. But my sisters had me
removed. They feared me, because I practiced Magics, They considered against nature. They
were fools. (The woman is Nagima. But she's much younger, that what we've seen) You haven't
answered my question.
NICADIMAS.
I have been told, you can raise the dead. Bring back those that have passed, to the other
world.
WOMAN.
Yes, it is true. I trust you can pay. (he hands her a bag, of coins) Who am I bringing back?
NICADIMAS.
His name is Samuel.
WOMAN.
Understand I can only bring him back. He may not be as you remember him. Once done, it can
be undone.
NICADIMAS.
As long as I can speak to him.
She begins a ritual. A young man runs up to Nicadimas.
MAN.
I beg you, don't do this. It's wrong, it goes against everything we believe!
NICADIMAS.
Go home. It will be all right.
MAN.
No, it won't! Even if this works, you'll only bring his wrath!
Suddenly the earth begins to shake, and lighting begins to flash. Suddenly the being of
light appears. Nagima begins to scream, like a crazy woman.
BEING.
What have you done?
NICADIMAS.
Samuel?
NAGIMA.
AAAHHHHAAAA! YOU LIED TO ME! YOUR NAME IS NOT NICADIMAS! YOU ARE!!!!!!!!!!!
))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
Skyler wakes up, as the vision stops.
SKYLER.
Ok, what the fuck, just happened?
____________________________________________________________________________
Skyler, Oz, and Kennedy are standing outside Oz's store, taking.
SKYLER.
It wasn't like a normal vision. It was like it had already happened. And it stopped, before it
explained itself.
KENNEDY.
So the old witch raised the light guy?
SKYLER.
Yeah, except I think his name is Samuel. And she said Nicadimas wasn't his real name.
OZ.
So he's a liar, and evil. Some people have no shame.
KENNEDY.
Ok wait. I thought he was sent somewhere else anyway. So why are you having visions about
him?
SKYLER.
Maybe he's coming back. I don't know.
OZ..
Ok, so we should try to find out. Uh, how do we do that?
KENNEDY.
I don't know. All I know is I don't want to fight him again. He moped the floor with us, last
time. If the kid hadn't done that spell, we'd be dead. Somehow I don't think he'll fall for it,
again.
OZ.
Why do we fight evil?
KENNEDY.
Cause someone has too.
OZ.
No, I don't think that's it.
SKYLER.
Cause we're really stupid.
OZ.
That's it.
KENNEDY.
Well we should tell Faith, when she gets here.
SKYLER.
How is she?
KENNEDY.
Good. She's really sorry about, you know.
SKYLER.
I know. (Faith is walking up, but Skyler doesn't see her) Look, I'm, I'm not mad anymore.
I get it wasn't her fault. But I can't just pretend it didn't happen. I'm not sure I can ever trust her
again.
KENNEDY.
Well I'm sorry you don't trust your friend at school. Hey Faith.
FAITH.
Nice try brat.
SKYLER.
(Turning) Oh shit. Look, I didn't mean.
FAITH.
Yes, you did. It's cool, really. So what's up?
OZ.
Skyler had a vision. But it's not like a normal one.
KENNEDY.
I was like a vision, in progress. But we think Uber vamp may be coming back.
FAITH.
Oh great, we have bikers, and Indians stalking us, and now this.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A woman is running from some people. She ducks down a dark alley, but runs into a vampire.
The other people come in, and vamp out.
GIRL.
(Crying) Please, don't hurt me.
VAMPIRE 1.
What do we get, if we do?
GIRL.
(Stops crying, and smiles) You get to live.
The girl pulls out a gun. Then Jesse, Shooter, a Mexican man, and a large black man appear
with guns.
SHOOTER.
Greetings, Shit heads.
VAMPIRE 1.
What the fuck is this? What are you supposed to be, Jesse James?
SHOOTER.
No, that's Jesse (pointing to Jesse) I'm Frank James.
VAMPIRE 1.
Well Maybe the teeth didn't clue you in, but we're vampires. So those guns aren't going to.
Jesse pulls his gun, and shoots the vamp, in the heart. He laughs at them.
Then turns to dust.
VAMPIRE 2.
WHAT THE FUCK! BULLETS CAN'T KILL US!
JESSE.
You just gotta know where to shop.
The vampires take off, but the gang follows them. Slowly they kill all, but one of them. Jesse
shoots the last one, in the legs, and arms. The wounds burn, like they are on fire. The
vampire screams, and Jesse pulls out a sledge hammer, with a cross painted on it, and beats
the vampire, in the head.
JESSE.
That was a warning. I'm going to ask some questions. And if I don't get answers, I'm going to
cut off you legs, and arms, and leave you in the desert. If the animals don't get you, the sun will.
Now, what do you know, about Nicadimas?
VAMPIRE.
I am not telling you shit! (Jesse chops the right arm off) AAAHHHAA!!!!!!! OK, I'LL TELL YOU!
JESSE.
I know you will. But just to make sure you understand, I'm not playing. (He hacks off the left
arm)
____________________________________________________________________________
ACT 2
Skyler is sitting in class, the next day, when the intercom comes on.
INTERCOM.
Will Skyler Fox come to the office.
She gets up, and makes her way to the office. Were the Snyder is waiting for her.
SKYLER.
Come on, I can't have done anything yet! I just got here!
SNYDER.
Be Quiet! Your not in trouble, for once. But then the day is young. As I told you, the board
wants to help you. I wouldn't subject are councilor, to you. So an special councilor came to
deal with you.
SKYLER.
I don't need a.
Go to the Councilor office, NOW!
She walks to the office, and opens the door. Maggie is sitting at the desk.
MAGGIE.
Good morning. Miss Fox?
SKYLER.
(Sitting down) Skyler. Miss Fox was my mom.
MAGGIE.
Right, of coarse. Please sit down.
SKYLER.
I am. Open your eyes.
MAGGIE.
(Holding up her white cane) Wouldn't help. They don't work.
SKYLER.
Oh God. I'm sorry, I didn't.
MAGGIE.
It's Ok. Anyway I here to, help you, with what happened.
SKYLER.
I'm not Crazy!
MAGGIE.
Didn't say you were. Look you saw your friend, kill your other friend. If that didn't bother you,
I'd think you were crazy.
SKYLER.
I DON'T want to talk about IT!
MAGGIE.
Ok fine. I don't want you to be uncomfortable. I know what your going though. It's not easy to
go though.
SKYLER.
What do you know.
MAGGIE.
Well, I've gone though something's myself. It was when I was ten, back in Knoxville. That's
where I'm from. My father was a good man. He always tried to help people. Said he couldn't
face his maker, and know he failed to help someone. Then one night, some people came to
the house. They said they were hunger. So without a second thought, he asked them in.
They killed mom, and dad.
SKYLER.
Oh God. Is that why, I mean your eyes. I don't mean to.
MAGGIE.
It's Ok. And no, I was already blind. Sometimes I think I was lucky. I never saw it. My twin bother
Jesse though. He saw the whole thing. It really messed him up. He'd never talk about it. Some
times it's good to talk. So I'm not going to push, but I'm here. If not, at least you get out of class
a hour, a week.
SKYLER.
Well, at least your cooler that Snyder. I really don't. I I AAAHHHH (The vision was the same, as
before. But this time Maggie was standing there. But Skyler knew she wasn't part of the vision.
She was somehow making the vision happen. The Vision stopped) What did you do, to me?
Who are you?
MAGGIE.
Skyler, I can explain. (Maggie wasn't sure what had happened. Skyler shouldn't have realized
she was pulling the vision from her head).
SKYLER.
You lied! Your not a councilor! Who are you?
MAGGIE.
Ok, I'm not a councilor. But I am trying to help. I know about Faith. And your vision.
SKYLER.
Stay away! (Skyler tries to leave, and Maggie tries to hold her. Her sunglasses come off.
There are to empty holes, where her eyes should be) AAAHHHH!!!!!!!!!! STAY AWAY!
Skyler runs out, as Maggie tries to find her glasses, on the floor.
MAGGIE.
Ok, that could've gone better.
She finally finds them, and puts them on. She starts to make her way out, when Snyder
stops her.
SNYDER.
Finished already? Guess you realized she was hopeless.
MAGGIE.
Ah no. We had a good session. But it upset her a little, so I sent her home.
SNYDER.
You what? You can't send students home.
MAGGIE.
It was my fault. I used a method, that drug up some bad memories. I think it will help her,
but as I said.
SNYDER.
Did you not here me? I'm reporting this to the board. And she's expelled!
MAGGIE.
But you said she should go home.
SNYDER.
Uh, I uh (Snyder seems sleepy) Uh yes, your right. I just forgot.
MAGGIE.
You know, your really too hard on her.
SNYDER.
Yes, I know. She doesn't deserve it. (He walks away).
She goes outside, and Jesse's there.
JESSE.
Well?
MAGGIE.
Something went wrong. I was pulling the vision out, and something blocked it.
JESSE.
So something doesn't want it told.
MAGGIE.
We have another problem. She felt me doing it. And I may have told her, I knew about the
slayers.
JESSE.
Oh great. That won't come back to bite us, in the ass!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Later Everybody was waiting at Faith's Skyler came in.
FAITH.
Ok, what's wrong?
SKYLER.
Something happened at school today. This woman came to the school. Said she was a
councilor. You know that vision I had? I don't know how, but she was pulling it out of my
head.
FAITH.
What? How could she do that?
SKYLER.
I don't know. But she knew about you too. Oh, and she didn't have eyes. That was creepy.
KENNEDEY.
Ok, what the hell, is going on?
FAITH.
I don't know, but I'm going to find out. It's time we meet these people.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MAGGIE.
I don't get it. It was like something was protecting the vision.
SHOOTER.
Maybe your slipping in your old age. (He is eating what looks like chill. Suddenly a snake
comes from the bowl, and bites him. (AAAHHHAA!!!!) He looks again, and realize it wasn't
there. (DAMN IT, YOU BITCH! I HATE IT, WHEN YOU DO THAT!
MAGGIE.
(Smiling) Slipping hu?
JOE.
It's like I'm babysitting. Can we focus, please?
MAGGIE.
He's right. We're out of time. He's coming back. Tonight. Same spot he left from.
JESSE.
Well Hell. Let's throw him one hell, of a welcome home party.
BLACK MAN.
Yeah, it's that simple.
MEXICAN.
Hey, Captain Ahab. Here's an Idea, lets just find a way, to keep him from coming back. I
mean the freaky girl did it once.
MAGGIE.
No good. The old witch won't let that happen. I'm telling you I saw the slayer beat him.
SHOOTER.
Yeah, and I saw him beat the shit out of them.
JESSE.
Well see if she's right. If not, we can try nukes.
MEXICAN.
He's kidding right?
SHOOTER.
No, he'd have to have a sense of humor for that.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pylea.
NICADIMAS.
How much longer? I am sick of seeing these pigs.
NIGIMA.
I thought you'd enjoy your own kind. (He picks her up, and smashes her, into the wall)
NICADIMAS.
I am sick of your voice! If you don't make yourself useful soon, I will silence it, forever!
NIGIMA.
I'm not the one that caused all this, remember? In fact I shouldn't have to share your curse!
If I'd known who you were, I'd never have helped you!
NICADIMAS.
Life isn't fair. Now get to work.
BLACKJACK.
Damn, I want to get out of here.
ABBY.
I don't know. I kind of like it. Running from the law, stealing to live. Kind of like the old days.
And we got a suvinere. (She holds up a severed head. It's Numfar.)
NUMFAR.
Put me down Cows! I will make you feel pain, like you haven't known!
ABBY.
Ha, it's better then that singing James Brown.
BLACKJACK.
Abby, get rid of that thing.
ABBY.
You never let me have any fun. (She tosses the head away)
NICADIMAS.
Soon, I will walk my world again. And My enemy's will beg me for mercy. But I will have
none.

The vision comes. Nicadimas is inside and ancient, but large room. An old man comes to him.
OLD MAN.
What have you done? (The voice is Samuel. But he's an old, normal man)
NICADIMAS.
Will you calm down. It was for the best.
OLD MAN.
You were to take nothing! Instead you.
NICADIMAS.
Spare me. I can do many good things, with the riches I took from that place.
OLD MAN.
But you won't! You only make yourself richer! How many times will you disobey, before.
NICADIMAS.
You worrier to much.
OLD MAN.
Why is that evil man still alive? He was to be put to death!

SKYLER.
They were fighting about money.
FAITH.

shot, and turns to dust.)
The rest of Jesse's people jump out, and begin shooting the vamps. They take off, and Faith runs

Skyler wakes up, in the spot Nicadimas disappear. Veruca is standing there. Skyler starts
chanting. But nothing happens.
VERUCA.
Your wasting your time. (She points to a collar, that is now on Skyler's neck) something I
picked up. Keeps you from doing Magic.
SKYLER.
What do you want?
VERUCA.
You remember that spell you did. Well, it's time to undo it.
SKYLER.
I won't do it!
VERUCA.
You don't have to. You just have to be here. Don't worry, it won't hurt. Know when they get
back, That's a different story.
_____________________________________________________________________________
ACT 4.
FAITH.
Why should we trust you?
JESSE.
Well we could have just killed you, for one thing. And If it wasn't for me, you'd still be in old
Sunnydale, will the other you was killing all your friend.
MAGGIE.
And If I hadn't given the other slayer that fake vision, she wouldn't have found you, before
you killed the kid.
KENNEDY.
What? (Kennedy just thought she'd gotten the vision, because Skyler was the one that was
caught.)
JOE.
(Stepping out) We're on you side ladies. And young man.
FAITH.
You! You knew who I was, before that night. What the fuck?
OZ.
Hey, uh All good questions, but We should be going after Skyler?
MAGGIE.
]He's right. We know where she is. We have to get there. We can talk after.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Veruca is drawing a circle, with Skyler in it.
SKYLER.
Why is you do this?
VERUCA.
You cast the spell. Your like an anchor. The old witch can find this dimension, though you.
Skyler feels energy going though her, as the sky fills with light. A portal opens, first Blackjack,
and Abby step though. The Nagima. Finally Nicadimas.
NIGIMA.
You've done well, my dear. And I see you've bought the seer. (looking at Skyler) I give you
credit. Pulling off a portal on your first day, as a witch. But I'm afraid you won't get to see
your full potential. To bad. It would have been something to see.
SKYLER.
What are you talking about?
NIGIMA.
Doesn't matter now. Your about to die. But your power will live on. In me. (Then a bullet flies
past her)
JESSE.
(with his whole gang there) Hi. We're immigration. And your not legal.
ABBY.
Oh not these fucker's. (She pulls her guns, and fires. Blackjack fires to)
They are shooting at each other, and don't notice Faith sneaking up, to Skyler.
FAITH.
Hey kid. Ready to get out of here?
SKYLER.
I should hit you just for asking!
FAITH.
Ok, let's Uh. (Nicadimas grabs Faith, by the neck)
NICADIMAS.
I've thought long, and hard about what I'd do to you. (Kenny jumps on his back, and Oz
bites his leg Nicadimas kicks the slayers off, and grabs Oz. He grabs his neck, rips his head
off, and throws his off, into the desert, like he weighed nothing.
FAITH.
NNNOOOOAAAA!!!!!!! (She runs at him, but he just knocks her away)
Jesse starts shooting at him. He flies at him, and tacks him to the ground.
NICADIMAS.
Do you know why I've never bothered to kill you boy? Because I don't need to. Your nothing.
You could do nothing when I drained you mother, and father, and you can do nothing now.
Jesse tries to hit him, but he just holds him, and laughs. Faith picks up a burning piece
of wood, and hits him, knocking him off. They all jump in the cars, and take off.
Nicadimas grabs Abby, and Jack.
NICADIMAS.
Find them! I want them all dead, by sunrise!
