ACT 1.
Joe, sits with Jesse, and Maggie.
JOE.
Can you tell us anything else?
MAGGIE.
Sorry, but I don't know anything now. Funny, I wanted the visions to stop. Now that they have,
I want them back. I really am a picky bitch.
JESSE.
Yeah, but we've gotten used to it. And we'll be dealing with it for years, I'm sure.
MAGGIE.
Jesse don't. I know what's coming. I'm not scared. I'm actually looking forward to it. It's not
been a fun ride, and I want off.
JESSE.
(Silent).
JOE.
Don't talk like that girl.
MAGGIE.
It's over Joe.
JOE.
When the spirit horse comes, it's over.
MAGGIE.
Please save me the Indian bullshit.
JOE.
Well, I was going to say, a spoon full of sugar, but it didn't seem appropriate.
MAGGIE.
Thank you. For everything. For taking in a couple of screwed up kids, with no home.
Your a good man. I'll miss you both.
Jesse gets up, and walks out.
Outside.
FAITH.
HELL NO! YOU ARE NOT CALLING THEM!
KENNEDY.
Do you have a better idea? We can't let Oz stay like that. And that girl. Look, I'll just call her,
we don't have to involve the.
FAITH.
Ha, oh yeah. That's what this is about. You get a chance to see her, I should have known.
KENNEDY.
(Getting mad) Is that what you think? I flew have way across the world, to get away from her!
I was just starting to feel good again. Now I have to ask her to come here, and rip my heart out
again! Believe me, this is the last thing I wanted! But today Oz did something. He asked me to kill
him, if we couldn't fix him. We have to try, because if we can't fix him. (She didn't finish).
FAITH.
(Sigh) I'm sorry brat. (Faith walked back inside, as Kenny pulled out her cell phone, and made a
call.
VOICE ON PHONE.
Hello. (Pause) Hello. Look, is someone there?
KENNEDY.
(Takes a deep breath) Willow.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Faith is walking to the room, when she runs into the Hispanic Priest, Jack met a few chapters ago.
FAITH.
Can I help you?
PRIEST.
I'm sorry, I'm Father Lopes. I was looking for some friends. I must have the wrong room.
JOE.
(Opening the door) You have the right room, Lopes. (Pointing to Faith) She knows everything, you
can speak.
PRIEST
What happened, Joe?
JOE.
It was the old witch. She ripped Maggie's power out of her. They know where the idol is.
PRIEST.
(Concerned look) What's being do?
JOE.
I'm not sure anything can be done. It may be to late.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Nicadimas, and Nagiam walk to an open field (well, what passes for a field, in New Mexico)
NICADIMAS.
Brilliant.
NAGIAM.
It really is. It can't be sensed by Magic, that's why I never found it. If you didn't know where to
find it.
ABBY.
(With some scares, from the ant attack.) And, we're looking at what?
NAGIAM.
An Aztec Temple.
ABBY.
Really. Cause it looks like fucking air.
NAGIAM.
It is hidden from sight, by powerful Magic. The Spanish Priest hid it here. There
logic, hide it in a pagan temple, because we'd, well Nicadimas would expect a Church. (He glares
at her) But to be safe, this.
BLACKJACK.
Well, let's go get it.
NAGIAM.
No, evil can not enter. It's a problem, but not one we can not overcome.
______________________________________________________________________________
FATHER LOPES.
(Walks into Maggie's room. They others are in an attached room, with linking doors) Maggie.
MAGGIE.
Ha, I know that voice anywhere. It has such a your in trouble tone, to it.
LOPES.
Well, if you'd be a good girl, I wouldn't have to sound like that.
MAGGIE.
Bad girls have more fun.
LOPES.
Your not a bad girl. Your just Angry.
MAGGIE.
Your going to pray, aren't you?
LOPES.
Yes, I am going to pray for you.
MAGGIE.
I don't want you to.
LOPES.
Never stopped me before. Guess I'm just rude. Maggie, you need to make peace with God.
MAGGIE.
We have an understanding. I don't like him, and he doesn't like me. I'm not going to ask for
forgiveness, just because I'm dying. You don't want me to be a hypocrite, do you?
LOPES.
I want you to have peace.
MAGGIE.
Ha, what's that?
LOPES.
(Putting his hand, on her head) I'm so sorry.
MAGGIE.
Thanks.
IN THE NEXT ROOM.
JESSE.
We know where there going, let's finish it.
JOE.
We don't have a chance, and you know it.
JESSE.
FUCK YOU, OLD MAN!
JOE.
I know your hurting, so I'll let that go.
SHOOTER.
We can't do nothing. We have to (Suddenly a flash of light fills the room.) WHAT THE FUCK?
Someone appears, in the flash. (We don't see them) Jesse pulls his gun, and fires, but they
wave there hand, and the bullets, vanish. Hammer, picks up a lamp, and tries to hit the person,
but they raise their hand, and Hammer raise in the air.
PERSON.
(Speaks with woman's voice) Rude much! You supposed to ask me how my trip was.
JESSE.
(Pointing his gun) Put him down, you fucking bitch!
PERSON.
Your supposed to say please, Mister potty mouth.
FAITH.
(Runs in, and sees the person, and laughs) Oh, put him down, Willow. there with us.
WILLOW.
They started it.
_________________________________________________________________________________
ACT 2.
WILLOW.
(Willow puts him down) What's this I hear about you letting Oz get his head
ripped off?
FAITH.
I didn't let anything happen, Red. Look, it's been a bad few weeks.
JESSE.
Who the hell is this?
FAITH.
This is Willow.
JOE.
Willow Rosenburg? The witch, that almost destroyed the world.
WILLOW.
(Sheepishly) Just the once. Haven't you done stupid things, as a kid?
FAITH.
Look, she's good now. And she may be able to help Maggie.
WILLOW.
Ok, I'll need to see her first, before I can be sure. First I want to see Oz.
Just then Kenny walks in, and stops.
KENNEDY.
Your here.
WILLOW.
Hey.
KENNEDY.
Thanks for coming.
WILLOW.
Yeah, no prob (Kenny walks out, before she could finish) Ok, went better than I thought it would.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Skyler is sitting with Oz, in a room, down the hall.
SKYLER.
It's going to be Ok. Well think off something.
Oz.
Sure. Thanks for sitting with me.
SKYLER.
well, you can thank me best, with a raise.
OZ.
Don't push it.
SKYLER.
Cheap fucker. Fine, just get better.
OZ.
Your a strange bird. How's the gang.
SKYLER.
Faith's with the Hell's Angel's right now. I guess there planing how to top the bad guys.
We just have to (Suddenly without warring, she breaks into tears).
OZ.
Hey, it's Ok.
SKYLER.
No, it's not! You almost died! I can't loose you too, I cant! Oz, your one of the only people that
doesn't think I'm going to be cereal killer. And everyone that's on my side, keeps dying! I'm sorry,
I'm being selfish, but you can't die!
OZ.
Hey, not dead. (He was feeling guilty for asking Kenny to kill him now) I'm here, Ok. May not
have a body, but I'm here. So don't worry. But you may have to carry me around, since no legs,
and all.
SKYLER.
(Smiling, a little) Deal.
WILLOW.
I hope that won't be necessary.
OZ.
(Surprised) Hey.
WILLOW.
Hey. Heard you lost your head. I just can't leave you alone.
SKYLER.
Who the fuck, are you!
WILLOW.
Ok, have you people never heard of manners?
OZ.
This is Skyler. She's are vision girl.
WILLOW.
Oh (Willow looks Skyler over.) Are you sure you didn't bring home a vampire, by mistake?
SKYLER.
FUCK YOU, RAINBOW BRITE!
OZ.
Skyler, this is Willow.
SKYLER.
(Nervous look) Oh, that Willow. Hey, just kidding, about the Rainbow Bright thing.
WILLOW.
Yeah, yeah. Can I be alone with Oz?
SKYLER.
Ok (She walks, but stops in front of Willow) Can you help him?
WILLOW.
I hope so. I just (She pause, and looks at Skyler strangely) Sorry, didn't mean to stare, just
nervous. It's going to be Ok. (She sits beside Oz.) So, how'd you get into this mess.
OZ.
I tried to be all brave. Bad idea.
WILLOW.
Yeah, never really pays off, does it. Good to see you Oz. Listen about.
OZ.
Don't. It's Ok. We had are time. I'm sorry I ruined it, with Veruca.
WILLOW.
I forgave you a long time ago. So anyone new.
OZ.
no, well yeah, but we broke up.
WILLOW.
Oh, I'm sorry. What happened.
OZ.
Well, you wont believe this, but Veruca's alive, and came after us.
WILLOW.
WHAT?
OZ.
Yeah, since I didn't use silver, she never died. And now she's helping the bad guys.
WILLOW.
Oh goody, I get to kick her skanky ass. Day's getting better.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
An hour later Willow walks back to the room.
FAITH.
Any luck?
WILLOW.
Sorry, couldn't help him.
SKYLER.
WHAT, He's still.
WILLOW.
No, I fixed the head part. (He walks in, whole) But his hair can't be saved.
OZ.
Yeah, It's pretty much terminal.
SKYLER.
(Runs to Oz, and hugs him) YOUR OK, THANK YOU WILLOW! (Then she hits Oz,
in the gut) DON'T YOU EVEY SCARE ME LIKE THAT, AGAIN.
OZ.
Ahh, sorry.
JESSE.
So, about my sister?
They let Willow into the other room.
MAGGIE.
Is someone there?
JOE.
Just me. We have someone to see you.
WILLOW.
Hi, we haven't actually met, but.
MAGGIE.
Yeah, well I'm dying, So I'm not good company right now.
WILLOW.
Well, I'm kind of wanting to stop the dying part. I'm Willow.
MAGGIE.
Willow. The Dark Witch.
WILLOW.
No! Well, sometimes, but not anymore.
LOPES.
(Jumps up, and puts his cross, in front of him) Begone Demon, this child of God.
WILLOW.
Oh, get out of my way Silly Goose! Not evil! Oh, and witches don't have anything to do, with the Devil,
FYI.
LOPES.
I know who you are.
WILLOW.
Then you know what I can do. So if you want her to live, get out of my way. (Sitting down,
with Maggie) As I was saying, I may be able to help you. I can't promise anything, but
maybe.
MAGGIE.
What have I got to lose.
WILLOW.
I'll need to be alone with her, Father. (He doesn't leave.) I'm not going to hurt her, please?
He finally leaves. And goes to the other room. After awhile Willow comes out.
WILLOW.
I'm sorry I can't do anything. She needs her power to sustain her. Without it. I'm sorry.
JOE.
Would it be possible to take it back, from the old witch?
WILLOW.
Maybe, I don't know.
JESSE.
One way to find out.
JOE.
Now wait a minute.
JESSE.
FUCK WAIT! It's time to act!
A PARKING LOT.
A young boy is playing with marbles. Suddenly He turns and sees Nicadimas standing there.
BOY.
Hello.
NICADIMAS.
Hello Timmy. I have something for you to do.
BOY.
Who are you.
NICADIMAS.
I'm Jesus.
TIMMY.
No, your not.
NICADIMAS.
Of coarse I am. Don't I look like him? (He did bare a strong resemblance to the pictures
of Jesus)
TIMMY.
Jesus can do miracles. Can you.
NICADIMAS.
What would you like to see?
TIMMY.
(picks up a rock) Turn this into gold. (In the shadows, Nagima's eyes glow, and the boy get a
wild look, in his eyes.) WOW, you are him!
ABBY.
Wait, nothing happened.
NAGIAM.
But he thinks it did. The seer's power is all ready proving useful.
NICADIMAS.
I have something for you to do.
TIMMY.
Why me?
NICADIMAS.
Because you have a pure heart.
________________________________________________________________________________
ACT 3.
WILLOW.
Ok Faith, what's going on.
FAITH.
It's this vampire. Only he's not a normal vampire. He really strong. And he has powers they normally
don't have. And there doesn't seem to be a way to kill him.
WILLOW.
Hey, always a way. Look, I can't stay long. We're kind of in the middle of are own end of the world.
Same old, same old. but I'll help as much as I can.
FAITH.
Thanks. But I don't want the Council's help.
WILLOW.
I'm here on my own. But Faith, Giles has changed since the last time, I mean.
FAITH.
Don't care. Look, well be moving soon, I should get back.
WILLOW.
Yeah, how'd you end up, with the Hell's Angels, anyway?
FAITH.
Long story.
WILLOW
(Walks a little way, and bumps into Kenny.) Hey, sorry.
KENNEDY.
No problem. Thanks for helping Oz.
WILLOW.
Yeah, glad too. So, you two on the same team. Good.
KENNEDY.
Well hey, I should get back.
WILLOW.
(Grabbing her arm) Kenny please! Can't we just talk?
KENNEDY.
Nothing to talk about. Look, I'm happy for you really. Let's just move on.
WILLOW.
Why'd you leave. You didn't even say good bye, you just left.
KENNEDY.
Kind of the point. You said you didn't love me, so what else was there.
WILLOW.
I do love you, I always will! It's just.
KENNEDY.
Will, if you say like a sister, I'll (Stops herself) Let's just not.
WILLOW.
I'm sorry I hurt you, but Tara's my soul mate. That's just how it is.
KENNEDY.
(Her voice fills with anger) Soul mates? Does she even have a soul?
WILLOW.
That's not fair!
KENNEDY.
What's not fair? I mean she came back. She killed a lot of slayers. Destroyed the Scythe,
so no more could be called. She EAT HUMAN FLESH! I think it's a fair question!
WILLOW.
It wasn't her fault, she was possessed! Simon made her do those thing. She feels horrible about
it now!
KENNEDY.
OH, SO IT'S OK! WELL GREAT!
WILLOW.
(Growling) Look, I'm sorry you've never had your heart broken. And I'm sorry I did it, but I'm
NOT sorry I'm with Tara, so deal!
KENNEDY.
I did deal. I left, remember. I let you have your fairy tail!
WILLOW.
Yeah, and turned you back on your calling! Don't try to be all noble!
KENNEDY.
Hey, I still hunt vampires. I just do it with people that actually want me!
WILLOW.
Not the way you want her to.
KENNEDY.
What's that supposed to mean?
WILLOW.
Oh come on, you think I don't know. I saw it. I never said anything because I knew you didn't
have a shot, with her being all with the straight.
KENNEDY.
Who's straight?
WILLOW.
Don't play dumb. After you left, you ran to her, to make it all better. You think I don't know.
Your in love, with Faith!
KENNEDY.
WHAT? Ha ha, that's good Will. Faith is just my friend. But if you need to tell yourself that, to feel
less guilty fine. But I gave up everything for you! My money, MY FAILMY! And you just kicked me
aside! But hey, that's over, so don't worry bout me. So get back on your magic horse, and go
be WITH YOUR LITTLE WHORE!!!!!!!!!!!!
WILLOW.
(Slaps Kenny, across the face) Don't you EVER call her that!
KENNEDY.
(Holding her face, smiling) Hey, your the one, that wanted to talk, remember?
WILLOW.
Don't worry, I never want to talk to you, again. I'll just say one more thing, GROW UP!
(Walks away.)
KENNEDY.
DAMN IT!!!!!!!!!! (She kicks a trash can, and sends it flying, then falls to a sitting position, and
begins crying) I didn't mean it Will. I'm sorry.
INSIDE.
JOE.
I think we're ready
SHOOTER.
Do we have a chance?
JOE.
Hell no. (Smiles) But do we ever?
SHOOTER.
No, but do we ever?
WILLOW.

JESSE.
(Loads his gun) Kill anything that moves.
_______________________________________________________________________________
ACT 4.
Nicadimas and his people, wait outside the temple. (Some more vampires are there) Jack, and
Abby had found, and turned a street gang, for help. They had guns)
The boy appeared from the temple.
NICADIMAS.
Well done, Timmy, I'm please. (he hands him the idol).
TIMMY.
I'm a good Christian Jesus.
NICADIMAS.
Yes, you are. Now go home. (He runs home) It's beautiful.
NAGIAM.
Yes, and powerful.
WILLOW.
Thank you. (They turn to see her, and the rest.) But flattery won't help you.
ABBY.
Who's this bitch?
WILLOW.
(Her hand comes up, and hits Abby, with lighting. The vamps pull guns, and fire, the Wolfpack
scatters, and Willow disappear
NAGIAM.
Well, they have a new witch. More power for me.
FAITH.
Jumps. from nowhere, and kicks Nagiam down) You have enough power bitch! It's making you fat.
Faith is grabbed by the neck,by Nicadimas.
NICADIMAS.
You don't learn, do you. (He throws her, like a ball, into the desert)
SHOOTER
These vampires have guns.
JINX.
To bad, they don't know how to shoot. (She runs out into the open, drawing there fire).
SHOOTER.
Man, that bitch, is crazy! (As they're busy shooting at her, Shooter hits them, and kills some
of them.) I love crazy bitches, YEAH!
Jesse has managed to take out some off the vampires. But turns to see Blackjack.
BLACKJACK.
Well well. Guess you think your hot shit.
JESSE.
I get by.
BLACKJACK.
Come on, let's see how good you are. (He moves his hand, to his side piece) Come on, let's
see who the best is.
JESSE.
All right. (He places his gin, by his side, and readies) Let's go.
Jack pulls his gun, and fires, Jesse just drops.
JACK.
Wait, did I hit (Suddenly Jesse turns over, and shoots Jack, though the hart) SON OF A BITCH,
YOU CHEATED! (Then he turns to dust).
JESSE.
Hell yeah, I did. This ain't the Wild World of Sports!
ABBY.
(Seeing this, and tackles Jesse. pulling her knife) OH, YOUR A DEAD MAN!
Faith runs at her, and kicks her off. Abby jumps up, and kicks Faith, in the jaw. Faith counters,
with a punch, to the chest. Abby swings her knife, barely missing Faith's throat. Suddenly a bullet gases
Abby. She looks a Jesse's smoking gun, and goes for her's. But she's lost them, in the fight.
ABBY.
This ain't over, mother fucker! (She takes off. Jesse tries to hit her, but she keeps moving.
SKYLER is watching the fight, when she hears some one behind her. She turns to see Nagiam.
NAGIAM.
Hello dear. I believe he have unfinished business.
SKYLER.
Finish this, bitch! (Skyler's eyes go black, and she hits Nagiam with more muffins?)
FUCK! WHAT IS THE DEAL, WITH THE MUFFINS!
NAGIAM.
Don't worry. I know what to do, with the power.
WILLOW.
Hey Crypt Keeper! (Her eyes go black) Why don't you pick on a witch your own size.
Nagima hits Willow with an enemy blast, and knocks her down. But Willow gets up, and raises her
hand, and sends her into the side of a cactus. Nagiam yells, but gets up, says some words, and
the ground swallows Willow. Nagiam laughs, but stops when Willow raises from the ground.
Nagiam fires energy, so does Willow. They go for a moment, fighting for ground. Slowly Nagiam
begins to win. She almost has Willow down.
WILLOW.
(Suddenly smiling) Psych.(Suddenly she turns up the power, and floors Nagiam. Willow walks up to
her.) I think you have something that doesn't belong to you. Goddess hectate, I beg you return what
was been taken!

NICADIMAS.
Thank you dead. She'd needed a good beating for years.
WILLOW.
And I'll be taking that idol now.
NICADIMAS.
All right. Take it. (He lays it on the ground) If you can.
WILLOW.
Borid now. (She waves her hand, and his skin leaps off his body, like Warren's Then he burst into
flames Willow smiles at her work, but stops, when the flame stops. He's still there. And she watches, as
his skin instantly grows back.)
NICADIMAS.
Is that all you can do?
WILLOW.
Uh, well uh.
He hits her, and sends her flying. She hits the ground, and is knocked out. He grabs Nagiam, and flies off,
with the idol.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
LATER.
Willow sits on a bed, with an ice pack.
FAITH.

WILLOW.
Sure, I've been hit harder. By a God. Well slightly harder.

WILLOW.
Yeah.
KENNEDY.
Faith, can we have a minute? (She leave) Listen, about last night.
WILLOW.
Don't. I get it. We both said things we didn't mean.
KENNEDY.
Will, I don't want us to hate each other. But We're not friends. I'm not saying never, but.
WILLOW.
It's Ok, I get it.
KENNEDY.
I should go. (She leaves.
WILLOW.
Sorry Kenny. (She gets up, to get a drink. but when she turns around, she sees the light man.)
Woh, hey! Hello. (He says nothing) Goddess Hecata, I bes.

NIGIAM.
Don't get to excited. We still have to wait, for the right time.
