Episode Two: Hijacked

-OZ “You know, some people would say not to trust strange green demons who run karaoke bars in the middle of nowhere”
LORNE “And what do you say”
OZ “I say I’ve got nothing to lose”
-FRED “What did Willow say?”
OZ “She said you’re good people and that I should consider joining your operation”
-OZ sits up, he looks pissed, his eyes start to glow and his arms grow, but no more.
- OZ “Evening Spike”
SPIKE “Evening” looking at OZ again “OZ?!”
FRED “He’s going to help us here”
SPIKE “Well, the more the merrier”
We are at the airport, OZ and FRED have bags and tickets in their hands.
LORNE “Are you sure this whole trip is necessary, I mean Cleveland’s a long way away.”

LORNE “Well we have phones”
OZ “But Giles will need to see what I become now”
ANNOUNCER “Last call for British Airways flight to London, Gatwick”
OZ “That’s us” he picks up his and FRED’s bags and walks over to the gate.
LORNE “He seems awfully short tempered today”
FRED “Well you’re not helping” she turns and waves to OZ “Be there in a minute” turning back to LORNE “You know full well why we’re going to the States”
LORNE “The witch, Willow”
FRED “He wants to see her.” She hugs LORNE, “Be safe”

At the Check in queues in London, lots of people lined up, we go up to three men FRANK, BILL, and JOHN in the queue, not much luggage.
JOHN “So how we gonna do this, big, loud, lots of lights.”
BILL “We’re going to keep it quiet, not cause any unnecessary mess.”
FRANK “Er, in my opinion there’s no such thing as unnecessary mess, I mean, trouble’s what we’re about”
BILL “Ordinarily I’d agree, but we want to make it to the otherside of the pond in one piece.”
FRANK “So we’re doing it the boring way”
JOHN “Yep, we check in normally, look around the duty free, get on the plane, eat the food, watch the movie”
BILL “Exactly”
FRANK “Ok, but if the movie has talking animals, I’m not gonna be hold responsible if I lose it.”
The camera show that there is only one person in front of them, a woman checking her make up, it is made quite clear in the shot that the three men are not visible in her small mirror, but they should be”
V/O BILL “You’d better not, we’re about to do the whole world a favor, and take out the new council”

ACT TWO
LORNE and SPIKE are talking with a SHAMAN in a tall room of the ranch.
LORNE “You getting anything”
SHAMAN “This, creature, is unlike anything” he looks up at Spike’s face, “You were once a creature of the night, a vampire”
SPIKE “Er, yeah.” to Lorne “Didn’t you tell this guy what my situation was”
LORNE “If I had, this wouldn’t work.”
SPIKE “Come again”
LORNE “Our friend here, he can only use his abilities to read you if he starts of knowing nothing about you, he has to see it himself”
SHAMAN “I can see it all, the whole story” smiles “It’s really quite amusing, How one event that you had no control over, changed the course of your life.”
SPIKE “Can you see where it goes”
SHAMAN “No, I cannot”
SPIKE “But that’s your bloody job”
SHAMAN “True, but as I said, you are a unique creature, you have taken a path none could have predicted. If you’d come to me 6 years ago, though I would have seen what your obsession with the slayer truly was, I would probably have seen you killing her, that didn’t happen because other forces interfered forces that had no business dealing with the supernatural.”
SPIKE “The chip”
SHAMAN “Yes, that was where the demon in you started to be defeated, as soon as you got the chip your human side started fighting back, your soul got stronger and stronger over that 3 years, all that demon you went to did was deliver the killing blow, put you in charge and banish the demon”
LORNE “Do you know of anyone who may be able to see where our boy’s going”
SHAMAN “The only advice I can offer, is to seek out the demon who ensouled you.”
END SCENE
We see a British Airways plane taking off.
V/O “Welcome aboard flight BA102, non stop to Cleveland, Ohio”
FRED and OZ are sitting in the plane, FRED is reading a magazine, OZ is staring blankly out the window.
FRED “You always this chatty?”
OZ “Sorry, kinda got a lot on my mind, I haven’t seen these people in years.”
FRED “I’m sure they’ll be glad to see you”
OZ “Hmmm, last time I did see them I risked their lives by making them break into a government base to rescue me. Dow we know who’s going to be there”
FRED “Not really Giles said he’d pick us up at the airport, or send Willow if he couldn’t”
OZ “Willow and Giles, they’re in charge of this new council?”
FRED “Well it made sense, Giles was in the old council, and Willow’s probably the most powerful person in it, even more than the dozens of slayers that live there”
OZ “They all live there?”
FRED “For a while, they go there for training, then when they’re ready to face it alone they’re sent home, watchers are pretty thin on the ground these days, Wesley has three slayers, Faith has Robin Wood as a type of watcher/partner/boyfriend kind of thing”
OZ “How many slayers are there”
FRED “We don’t know, seems to be growing constantly”
As FRED and OZ continue talking FRANK walks past them on the way back to his seat, which is next to both BILL and JOHN. He walks to his seat and sits down.
FRANK “We may have a slight problem”
BILL “What do you mean?”
FRANK “There’s two people up front, going to see the council”
JOHN “You serious?”
FRANK “Yeah, and from what I heard, sounds like they’re pretty chummy with’em, first name terms and such”
JOHN “Do they pose an immediate threat?”
FRANK “What, these two? I’m not sure, the girl, looks like a good gust of wind’d top her off, but the guy.”
BILL “What about the guy?”
FRANK “Nothing, just that they’re going to the council to ask some Giles guy about new powers he’s developed”
We once again go back to FRED and OZ.
OZ “You see that TV on the ceiling, just ahead of us”
FRED “Yeah, it’s switched off.”
OZ “See the reflection in it”
FRED “Of course, OZ, what’re you getting at”
OZ “Do you see the reflection of the 3 seats two rows back”
FRED “Yes, what’s this a….”
OZ lightly grabs FRED’s head and turns it to face just behind her
FRED “Ohhh! Now I see what you mean”
END ACT
ACT THREE
FRED “So they’re vampires”
OZ “Would seem so. Nothing else does that, right?”
FRED “No only vampires”
OZ “And I think we should guess that they’re not just going to Cleveland just for the hell of it”
FRED “That would seem like a safe assumption” she turns and sees that they’re still just sitting there “So what do you reckon we should do”
OZ “Well, I thought we’d start by killing them”
FRED “Good plan!”
FRED and OZ both get up, and walk towards the back of the plane, all 3 vampires have headphones on and don’t see the two of them pass, the row behind the vampires is empty and FRED and OZ creep along it till they’re right behind them. Both take stakes out and jump from behind the chairs and stake BILL and JOHN.
FRANK suddenly in vamp face as his partners turn to dust “Holy shi..!!” and leaps backwards out of his chair to behind OZ and FRED. He grabs FRED by the throat and walks into the aisle.
OZ “You’d better put her down”
FRANK “Why should I, what’re you gonna do?”
OZ’s eyes glow yellow and his arms swell “I’ll rip you to shreds”
FRANK “What the hell are you?!”
OZ leaps at FRANK who swiftly pulls a taser out of his pocket using his free hand. He uses it on OZ in mid jump, causing him to drop to the floor unconscious.
FRANK “You two” he says pointing to two passengers “Tie him up” he walks towards the front of the cabin “Anyone else moves, and the girl gets it.”
We see OZ tied up next to a girl of about 17, SALLY, he is starting to come to.
SALLY rambling to herself “They’re not real, I won’t believe it, vampires aren’t real, it’s just a mask or drugs…….”
OZ “Where am I”
SALLY “And this guy, he’s just on steroids, nothing more, I’m sane, I’m an intelligent person”
OZ turns back to human form “What are you talking about”
SALLY “Not listening, no vampires, not real”
OZ “How do you know it’s a vampire?”
SALLY “What?!”
OZ “How do you know it’s a vampire?”
SALLY “He’s not, vampire’s aren’t real, I won’t let my self believe it”
OZ “You’re a slayer aren’t you?”
SALLY “What did you?”
OZ “You’re a slayer”
SALLY “That’s what the man on the phone said, something about how I’d been chosen, my parents forced me to come, but as soon as I get there I’m telling him he’s mad and coming home”
OZ “How do you explain those two guys turning to dust earlier then”
SALLY “Do you know about this stuff?”
OZ “Yes, in fact I’m going to the same place you are, The Council”
SALLY “But, apart from the steroids, you seem normal”
OZ “It’s not steroids, I used to be a werewolf, but I’ve learnt to control it, I can use the power with out losing my mind”
SALLY “So it is all real”
OZ “Yes, and if you help me save my friend, we’ll come with you to the council”
SALLY “The woman, that,… vampire, has her”
OZ “Yes, but if you untie me, we can come at him from behind from both sides. You go up to him and ask to use the bathroom, he wont kill her, he knows he might still need her”
SALLY “What if he attacks me”
OZ “You’re strong enough to fight one vampire. And I’ll come from behind and rip his head off. That work for you?”
SALLY “Ok, you need me to untie you” SALLY starts to untie OZ.
FRED “What do you hope to achieve from this, there’s no way one vampire can destroy the council, to imagine that even three of you could do it was deluded”
FRANK “We were well organised, we had a plan, we would have destroyed them.”
FRED “Right, a plan so good that 3 regular vampires would have been able to kill the people who once stood in the very mouth of hell and killed thousands of super vampires”
FRANK “The turokhan are stupid, they just attack, we would have been sneaky, I will be sneaky, I will destroy the council and be remembered as the most vicious vampire of all time”
SALLY walks up to FRANK and FRED, who are sat down in the front row of the cabin. “Sir”
FRANK “Sit down human!”
SALLY “Sir, I need to use the bathroom, please”
FRANK “Sit down before I kill this gi…….”
FRANK is interrupted by OZ grabbing both sides of his head and ripping it off the vampires shoulders. FRANK turns to dust and falls to the seat.
OZ “Good work SALLY, FRED you Ok.”
FRED “Yeah, who is this?”
OZ “SALLY FRED, FRED this is SALLY the vampire slayer.”
