CONTINUATION OF TEASER
L.A. COUNTY MAIN ELEVATOR
Insert CGI special effects
Gunn stands frozen as the wry little man reaches to press the button to the White Room. Gunn's perspective changes as he is now at the control panel and it is he who is pressing the button. The elevator moves up and down in rapid fashion as time speeds up and people get on and off. Gunn is merely along for the ride. He is separated from the world around him. Just as quickly, time reverses to the point where Gunn first got on the elevator. He watches himself get on the elevator as a white light takes over.
FADE TO THE WHITE ROOM
The black panther prowls around Gunn, reading his mind as questions race through Gunn's head.
Selecting one, it answers.
BLACK CAT
The White Room can not be destroyed.
Then responding to another question of Gunn's we can't hear.
BLACK CAT
What better place for nothing to exist than the halls of justice. You think you did a good thing just now. In six months, the man you freed will kill a policeman while robbing a liquor store. Had he been convicted today, he would be facing early release next year rather than the death penalty.
Speaking out loud
GUNN
I can't worry about what might happen. I have to do what I feel is right, right now.
BLACK CAT
The future, like the past, does not exist. There is only now.
GUNN
Why did you bring me here?
The black cat morphs into Gunn
BLACKCAT/GUNN
You are mistaken. You are alone here.
GUNN
If I'm alone here, who am I talking to, myself?
BLACKCAT/GUNN
Extra perseption. The white room is a conduit of the sun God Ra. Dimensions are all around; one only has to look to gain answers. The white room acts as a power line stung between poles. From your perspective, a power line appears to be a two-dimensional line, but from the perpective of an ant, the braided cable of energy is the entire world. The white room creates a vanishing point where both realities exist.
GUNN
That sounds like something....
he trails off
BLACKCAT/GUNN
Yes, something Fred would understand.
GUNN
Another of my choices gone wrong?
BLACKCAT/GUNN
The white room is not a confessional. What you don't understand is; your lineage dates back to when the Nile waters flowed past the worshipers of RA. Have you never wondered why you hate vampires so much? It goes much futher back than the death of your sister. Your ancestors joined RA in a battle between human and vampire. Which side will you be on now?
GUNN
Are you saying RA will return to rid the world of vampires?
BLACKCAT/GUNN
Ultimately, but first, the battle will be between an old foe. An old one you helped to release.
GUNN
Illyria.
BLACKCAT/GUNN
Yes. Circles within circles. Your metal has been hardened again and again under fire, but the consumption of Fred has given you an inner core which will allow you to bend with out breaking during the chaos.
GUNN
Chaos?
BLACKCAT/GUNN
You have time to consider, although not for long. The next caretaker of the white room has been waiting two hundred years to take her place. She is pulling together the forces of chaos right now.
GUNN
She is re-forming the Ra Tet?
BLACKCAT/GUNN
Again, you are mistaken. The Ra Tet is.
FADE TO BLACK
CALDERA CONCLUSION
INT - TOPLESS NIGHT CLUB - SAME NIGHT
Spike is seated with two girls on a curved love seat. On a small table in front of them, there are several drinks and even more empty shot glasses. Spike has been there for several hours as he is visibly drunk. The club is apparently an inter species bar. The girl dancing on stage has light blue skin, a protruding collar bone, and what looks like a spine running down the middle of her chest. She's quite stunning. The two girls with Spike are fawning all over him.
SPIKE
Hey, didn't that dancer have green skin before?
GIRL #1
Sometimes
GIRL #2
If you buy us a bottle of Champagne, we could go back to a private room.
SPIKE
Not bleeding likely. You think I died yesterday? I know how these places work.
GIRL #1
It's not like that. You're as safe as kittens here.
INSERT FLASH SCENE
In a smoke filled room, four demons are playing poker. One of them is handing over a small helpless kitten.
As Spike ponders this image in his head, a fight breaks out. A demon comes flying across the table where they are sitting. Spike is able to grab his drink before the demon knocks over the table and then falls into another table. This starts a second fight, which starts a third. Spike stumbles and staggers through the chaos of the bar as he tries to focus on the front door of the club. Each time he sways one way and then the other; a fist or a flying beer bottle misses him. He doesn't even notice his luck as he remains focused on making it to the front door without spilling his drink. Once outside, he brings the drink to his lips, but doesn't notice a small step down, and promptly falls over shrubbery lining the walkway.
SPIKE
Hey mate, better watch who you're bumping into. I don't take the piss off of nobody.
He stands ready to fight as he tries to focus his vision.
SPIKE
Oh, you're just a hedge.
He gives a cursory look around before taking a stance that looks like he's about to water the bushes. Before he can go any further, he's knocked to the ground and the figure of a girl is straddling him with a stake just inches from his heart.
Spike tries to focus in on the three images of the girl on top of him.
SPIKE
I already told you, not bleeding likely. No more kisses from me tonight.
DRUSILLA
An ashen kiss goodbye. I should send you to cinders.
The sound of her voice brings Spike out of his drunken haze.
SPIKE
Drusilla!........Dru?
DRUSILLA
Oye, my Spoike already has a 'ole in his 'eart.
In silent slow motion, the camera focuses in on an intricately carved wooden stake as Dru raises her hand.
Return to normal speed as she brings the staff of Ra down towards Spike's chest.
CUT TO BLACK
........to be continued in episode 12:
SOLAR PLEXUS
The ME stick figure demon walks across the screen wearing an Egyptian head-dress.
grrr......arrrg!
