INT - WHITE ROOM
Angel, Gunn, Wes, Fred and Sipke enter the white room. They look around a few seconds trying to get their bearings, but the vastness of the white room lacks perspective. Seemingly from nowhere,
Drucillia apears with a crocodile of at least 20 feet at her side. Angel and Gunn both draw swords. Spike takes a defensive stance allthough he has no weapon.
SPIKE:
Weapons? How did you guys get weapons through the metal detectors?
Angel gives a nod to Wes.
GUNN:
Magic.
SPIKE:
I thought you were the one who hated magic?
GUNN:
You know what they say; use it or loose it.
Dru, also unarmed, acts delighted as the beast Ra opens his mouth showing his sharp teeth before snaping his jaw shut.
GUNN:
Plan?
ANGEL:
Well you and me take Ra and Spike will handle Dru while Wes and Fred perform the spell.
Drucilla rushes at Spike only to have him ball up his fist and hit her square in the jaw, sending her skidding across the room.
Angel takes this time to lunge at the crocodile only to have the blade in his hand get caught by the jaws of the crocodile as it hisses at Angel. Wes begins chanting from a book as Fred sprinkles herbs from a pouch in a circle around Wes. This has no effect on Ra as the beast seems more concerned with Angel.
Spike looks over at Angel who is currently trying to get his sword free from the mouth of the crocodile.
SPIKE:
So you got the glorified lizard?
ANGEL:
Pretty much.
Spike raises an eyebrow at the answer and adds as he turns his attention back to Dru.
SPIKE:
Well I'd let go of that sword if I were you…
After another exasperated attempt at getting the sword loose, Angel vamps out and gives an equally exasperated look to Spike.
ANGEL:
I'm in control here…
Angel goes to tug on the sword again only it doesn't move at all this time. He lets out a vampire grrr at Ra hoping to get the same back which will release his sword from the beast's mouth, but to no avail. Gunn has moved around to the back of the beast, trying to sneak up on it from behind, but gets hit by the snap of it's tail, which sends him flying across the room.
SPIKE:
I'd let go off the sword if I were you…
ANGEL:
Just worry about Dru, Spike. I really know what I'm doing…
Spike does as he says, but turns back as Drucilla is still slow in getting up.
SPIKE:
But I watched a show last night on Animal Planet, and he's about to......
ANGEL:
Go away!
Spike shrugs as he turns his attention back to Dru who is now in stalking mode around him. As the camera follows Dru around Spike, we can see Angel holding on for all he can as the beast now has him in the famous crocodile death roll.
SPIKE:
Yep, that's what I saw.
Angel is no position to reply, but he refuses to let go of either the sword or Ra. At one point, he is able to hit the croc hard on it's snout, which releases the sword, but it's failing about sends Angel flying across the room, and into Gunn, who is just getting to his feet; knocking him down again.
DRUCILLA:
Daddy's a rag doll, the queen bee is singing…
Spike just gives her a flat-footed look until she goes to slash him with her long vampire nails. He is able to lean back from her first slash, and even the second, but Dru manages to draw blood from his cheek with the third. He gives her a respectful advesarial smile before landing his foot square on her solar plexus. As she falls, he spin kicks her again, this time landing the blow against the side of her face. Dru falls into a heap on the floor. She now like Spike, has blood streaming from her lip, which causes her to vamp out.
Not far away, the beast has Angel and Gunn seperated from their swords. Each time they try to move, the crocodile snaps at them, ready to bite them at any moment. A loud sigh is heard and then suddenly, the beast goes flying across the room having been thrown by it's tail.
ILLYRIA:
I tire of these games, not near as challenging as Jeopardy.
Angel and Gunn rush to their swords. With swords in hand, Angel Gunn, and Illyria now surround the crocodile. Ignoring Angel and Gunn, the beast faces Illyria as he changes into his prefered form dressed in full Egyptian regality. Ra speaks for the first time.
RA:
Illyria, is this your world?
ILLYRIA:
You know nothing of this world.
RA:
I know I shall enjoy taking it from you.
Gunn raises his sword to swing at Ra.
GUNN:
Take this!
But Ra simply holds out his hand, and the sword instantly moves from Gunn's hand to Ra's. Angel then tosses his sword to Illyria.
The sword fight between Ra and Illyria begins slowly, but quickly turns into a Matrix style battle of kicks and swords all in a blur, until Illyria gets the upper hand by causing Ra's sword to fly from his hand.
ILLYRIA:
All this time waiting, and that is all you have?
RA:
I have this.
From his open hand, the Staff of Ra appears. With his other hand, he takes Illyria by the throat; lifting her into the air, but she is able bring her sword under his arm holding the staff; sending the staff staight up into the air.
ANGEL:
(smirks) You had that.
As it falls, Gunn is able to grab it, and in one motion, plunge it into Ra.
GUNN:
And now you can have it back.
Yet it doesn't seem to have an effect on Ra.
RA:
Mortals, don't you understand I'm a god!
Through out the battle, Wesley has continued his chant, but now calls out.
WESLEY:
I command the light of darkness....flow into the river of the underground!
A blue mist begins to surround Ra. Ra's eyes immediately go black as his body begins deteriate. Every particle seem to fall to the floor. The mist expands as Ra decreases. It begins to absorb the white room. Wes is the furtherest from the mist; he leaves the white room first. Followed by Angel, Gunn, and Illyria. Drucilia, while not often in touch with reality, has lost it completely after watching the destruction of Ra.. Shuddering and shaking wildly, she's so far gone, she can't form words. Until she sees Spike leaving the white room.
DRUCILLA:
Spike! My precious Spike, what have you done?
SPIKE:
Not yours anymore pet, or anyone else's. I'm on my own, and so are you.
DRUCILLA:
You will pay for this one day, all of you!
SPIKE:
Just not today… Tootles Dru.
Spike turns on his heel and then walks away. Dru screeches as she rushes to go after him, but she's yanked back into the center of the room. She collapses on the floor crying out in pain as the blue mist devours her, and the white room.
END OF SCENE
EPILOGUE
ONE HOUR LATER - HYPERION
ANGEL:
One thing I don't get, the prophecy's are never wrong, right? So, it said Ra would rise, which he did, but what about the chaos?
GUNN:
I don't know about you, but I thought it was pretty chaotic.
ANGEL:
I just mean now, you know, everything seems normal, like nothing happened.
GUNN:
hmm, nothing.
WESLEY:
What is it, Gunn?
GUNN:
You're the expert on languages, but you said the prophecy was in Greek, right? Well, I think I have some lawyer knowledge stuffed in my brain which is telling me the original translation for chaos.....
WESLEY:
Yes of course! The original Greek meaning for the word chaos was.....nothing.
SPIKE:
So you're saying we did all this for nothing? You could have told us this before, and then I could have missed......(thinks).....no, come to think of it, it was definitely worth seeing Angel in a crocodile death roll. And besides, we stopped a god for gods sake, and you still want to be all broody.
GUNN:
He's right Angel, we even used magic, and nothing bad happened. That's got to be a first, I say we party.
CUT TO:
FLASH BACK - ONE WEEK EARLIER
GOV. DETANEE FACILITY
CHEYENE MOUNTAIN
The place is a mad house after Dru's visit. From outside, helicopters, rescue vehicles, and various army security vehicles look like ants busily repairing a damaged mound. The camera pans in on a close-up of vehicle leaving; pausing on the smiling face of the driver..... Ethan Raine.
FADE TO BLACK
grrr....arrgg
