CLEAN SLATE

TEASER
[FADE IN]
Ext. Alleyway of the Hyperion- Night
[The Hyperion alleyway stands the way it usually stands, abandoned. No signs of the epic battle that took place here just six months ago, just a normal old alleyway like many others in L.A. Suddenly, bursts of light erupt in the middle of the alleyway, this continues for a few seconds then stops. Once the light show ends, the alley isn't empty anymore, two motionless bodies lay on the blacktop now. The first would be that of everyone's favorite bleach blonde vampire, Spike, shirt and jeans ripped to shred (and smelling very ripe) and smears of blood all over his face. Across from him, also lying motionless, is the demi-goddess Illyria, who also has blood smeared over her face, most of it not her own. After about thirty seconds, shadows come running through the dark alleyway.]

UNKNOWN FEMALE[O.C]:
I think I see them, they don't look so good.

[About seven young women holding stakes and crossbows rush to the two fallen heroes. The group of girls split up and try to help both of them up to their which is really hard to do because they are out cold. The first female, she has short brown hair, looks to a figure who is standing somewhere O.C behind them.]

BROWN HAIRED FEMALE:
Bleach blonde vampire? Blue haired woman? Looks like we found them.

[A second girl speaks up while trying to help Spike, who is slowly coming around, to his feet.]

FEMALE#2:
After six months of being stationed here, it's finally paid off. Can we go home now.

[Spike's eyes open looking at these women, he still doesn't know where he is.]

SPIKE[Dazed]:
Bloody hell, feels like the hellmouth came down on me "¦.. again.

[Illyria is also coming to, being helped up to her feet much quicker by a blond woman.]

Illyria:
What is this annoyance? My brainwaves feel scrambled, like something has been extracted.

BLOND GIRL [Putting hand over ILLYRIA'S mouth]:
Shush, you've had a long journey.

ILLYRIA:
I advise you not to touch me there again if you like your tongue in your mouth.

[The blonde girl pulls away as fast as possible. The brown haired girl turns her attention towards the figure who is apparently standing in the distance.]

BROWN HAIRED GIRL:
We got them, now what?

[A short skinny young man in a three piece suit appears from out of the shadows with a smirk on his face. He protrudes confidence as he talks to his young charges. ANDREW WELLS, even more grown up and mature since the last time we saw him, but still his boyish self deep down inside leans towards his seven slayers.]

ANDREW:
We take them to LONDON for questioning and find out where ANGEL is. To the

[The girls get the two on their feet and follow Andrew out of the alleyway. Both don't have a choice if they are to be taken away or not. Andrew points forward]

ANDREW:
To the watcher-mobile.

[Andrew walks forward as the brown haired slayer sighs at the goofiness of his watcher. Soon, the alleyway is empty again, like nothing ever happened here in the first place.]

EXT. PARK- NIGHT
[ A familiar scene that viewers of the show are used to seeing: a woman on the run, screaming in terror. Nobody is around to help from the menace she is running from, so she is pretty much dead. Her pursuers have bumpy foreheads and are incredibly fast.]

WOMAN:
Stay away from me, I already gave you my purse!

VAMPIRE#1:
Which we plan to use later, but it's your blood we are after.

VAMPIRE#2:
You'll make a very satisfying meal.

[As per usual, the victim slips and falls on a rock with the three vampires cornering her. She let's loose an ear piercing scream that no one can hear.]

WOMAN:
Please, someone help me, PLEASE!!!!
VAMPIRE#2:
No one to help you now, in fact, there hasn't been anyone messing in our business for about six months now.

VAMPIRE#1:
THE STREETS BELONG TO US!!!!!!!

MALE [O.C]:
Hey! Suck asses![ The vampires turn to the figure yelling at them from behind, nothing but a boy maybe in his late teens. The vampires take their attention off the woman and approach the young man laughing. The boy gives them a vicious smirk as they walk ever closer to him.] Don't you guys have any other strategy? It's always "chase helpless victims" this and "talk them to death" that.

VAMPIRE#3[LAUGHING]:
Looks like school got out early tonight, so you wanna have a go, skippy?

CONNOR:
You know I do.

[Connor lifts his right hand up at them with a very confident smile as they stand directly in front of them.]

VAMPIRE#1:
So, before we tear you to bits, why don't you tell us a little about yourself? A back story, who are you? What do you do? You know small talk before the killing and feeding.

CONNOR:
Very well. [ CONNOR cracks his neck and raises his arm even further out to reveal a weapon of sorts on his palm.] I'm THE DESTROYER!

[ Right as CONNOR clenches his fist, three stakes shoot out impaling VAMPIRE#1 and turning him into dust. The two vampires look shocked that he took their counterpart that easily.]

VAMPIRE#2:
What the"¦.

[Vampires #2 and #3 charge at him as he keeps his cool going.]

CONNOR:
And as for my occupation "¦ [ CONNOR pulls a disc out of his pocket and throws it with great accuracy decapitating VAMP#3 on impact, he turns to dust as well.] I help the helpless.

VAMP#2:
Your going to pay!

[ The last vamp leaps towards Connor, he outstretches his left arm as wooden sickle pops out. The vampires chest immediately makes contact with the shaft and he turns to dust. CONNOR stands upright not looking at the victim who is slowly getting to her feet.]

CONNOR:
Any questions?

[FADE OUT]
END TEASER
 
MORE! Hehe, I want to know what happens, especially since... THE STUPID WB KILLED ANGEL!

Since when did Connor use the name "The Destroyer" again?
 
That's really interesting! Really good. Probably the best thing I've read here in months. Please continue.
 
Opening Credits

ACT I
[Fade In]
FLASH BACK:
EXT. Hyperion Alleyway (six months ago)- Night

Angel:
We Fight!

[Angel leads the battle as the dark warriors attack his crew, he swipes the first soldier with his mighty sword. Spike follows his rivals lead, tackling two warriors down and grabbing one of their swords.]

Spike:
Always knew I would go out fighting! [Spike stabs one of his foes in the gut, he smiles as he goes down and looks behind him] Blue, plenty of them to go around, help yourself.

[ILLYRIA is not behind him anymore, but somehow she has made her way in front of the two vamps. Soon, heads of the dark warriors are flying about, as well as their limbs. As Spike takes out two more warriors, he gets a good enough look at ILLYRIA ripping out a soldiers spinal cord. She looks over at Spike.]

ILLYRIA:
These opponents aren't the threat that you thought they would be.

[ Right after she says that, she is struck down by the mighty hand of the ogre. Angel smirks as ILLYRIA begins her struggle with the giant. Angel yells to someone behind him.]

ANGEL:
Gunn how you holding up?

[Angel is taken when he gets no response back from the vampire hunter turned lawyer turned hunter again. Right after Angel decapitates another fighter, he looks behind him. Gunn is now being circled by half a dozen dark warriors, he holds his battle axe up taking them out as they come. Angel notices that he can't stand on his feet much longer, he's almost out. Gunn notices the look on his face.]

Gunn:
ANGEL, DON'T LOOK BACK!

[Angel takes out another fighter and begins making his way towards his comrade]

ANGEL:
Gunn, I'm coming to help you out.

[Even as Angel gets closer, he can see that more and more bodies are surrounding Gunn. Gunn slashes the axe into an approaching warrior, then another jumps on him, but Charles throws him off.]

GUNN:
Like hell you are. [ GUNN slashes three more approaching warriors as Angel himself is attacked by three more warriors, he quickly disposes of them. He looks towards Gunn but he can only see the top of his head.] This is the way I'm supposed to go out. I'm finally making a difference, this is MY mission and dieing for it.

[ Angel finally makes his way towards his old friend, but right as he is tearing through bodies of warriors, he hears a splat and then one final battle cry. A warrior falls on top of Angel with Gunn's blood soaked axe embedded into his chest. As Angel falls to the ground, he stares at a black motionless hand, one of his best allies hand]

END FLASHBACK

INT. Watcher's Council Dungeon- Day
[ Spike slowly wakes up on his cot, remembering what he can from the big fight. His are wide open as he thinks about this.]

SPIKE [To himself]:
Sorry Charlie.

[ He looks over to the other side of his cell and sees two girls holding up crosses and crossbows. He sits up on his cot and smiles at the ladies as he lights up a cigarette. Both girls have blank stares on their faces as the girls are ready to shoot at any second.]

SPIKE:
You girls realize that I'm not the enemy, right?

SLAYER#1 [Holding her weapon up further]:
You're a vampire, therefore you must be our enemy.

SPIKE:
There has to be some exceptions, I have soul, pet.

[Spike stands up and walks towards them with the cigarette hanging out of his mouth, they both focus their weapons even more on them.]

SLAYER#2:
Your still a vampire nothing less, good or bad, hero or not, your our enemy.

SPIKE [Looking around]:
I think I get it now, you two girls are slayers and I must be in the Watcher's Council London Dungeon. Tell me if I'm wrong.

[ The two overly serious girls look at each other, then nod in agreement.]

SLAYER#1:
You are correct. Now sit down, before we take you out.

[ Spike chuckles as he ignores both girls, he can see the fear in their eyes, but respects that they stay.]

SPIKE:
In a minute love, perhaps you can answer me a few questions. First question, where is my little blue headed demon god friend?

[The two look at each other again.]

SLAYER#1:
She is in a safe place, no one will harm her.

SPIKE:
It's not her I'm worried about, it's your little slayer gang and the watcher's as well that would be in trouble if she is let loose. [ Spike takes another drag of his cigarette.] Second question, where is good old Rupert? If I'm at the headquarters he's got to wandering about here somewhere.
SLAYER#2:
Mr. Giles will come speak to you when he gets around to it, he is a very busy man.

SPIKE:
Okay, third question, where's my leather coat at?

SLAYER #2:
You weren't wearing your coat when we found you.

SLAYER#1:
Now sit your ass down before we turn you into dust.

SPIKE:
Right, [Spike chuckles and sits down on the cot again as he takes another drag and blows it towards the young slayers.] Well, since we are going to be here for awhile how's about we get to know each other. [ He smiles at the girls and gives him his trademark two finger salute] My name's Spike, William The Bloody if you can stand toe to toe with me. What about you two girls, what are your names?

[ The two girls are confused on what to do again, the first one steps forward holding the cross to SPIKE.]

SLAYER #1:
My name's Tanya and this is Bridgette, we are high ranked slayers.

SPIKE:
Well, isn't that a treat. And since you are slayers and you insist on treating me like a regular vampire let me let you in on a little back story about myself.

BRIDGETTE:
We don't need to hear any back story from you, there's nothing that you can tell us that will be worth it.

SPIKE:
Oh, I'm sure you'll find that it will tingle your lovely little spine a wee bit. [ Spike throws his smoke down and then stomps on it.] Back in the day, I was the most ruthless vampire known to man"¦

TANYA[Lighting up]:
You were ANGELUS?

SPIKE [Shocked]:
What? Bugger that! That vampire always came a runner up when it came to me, I stole his rep, I stole the love his life and it looks like I out lived him because well, look I'm still here and he isn't. [ Spike thinks for a moment and realizes he is being very disrespectful] But I got to give him one thing, he was one brave little wanker, the way he just went rushing into battle with the Black Thorn, risking the lives of his friends, and his own life. Forehead sure went out in a blaze of glory, wish I knew what happened to him.

BRIDGETTE:
You don't know his whereabouts?

SPIKE:
I barely remember a thing from that night, everything else is a big bloody blur to me. [ SPIKE stops.] Let me guess, that's why I'm here, to find out what the hell went down in that bleeding alley. [Thinks to himself] But why would Rupert concern himself with something that doesn't even involve the Watcher's Council?

TANYA:
We we're just told to stand watch over a lethal vampire.

SPIKE:
Oh, that reminds me of the story I was going to tell you. Now come closer, it's time for your little vampire story. [ He stares at the girls who obviously scared of him] So how many actual vamps have you come across?

TANYA:
Between the two of us, about thirty.

SPIKE:
Not exactly rookies, but your not up to par with Buffy or Faith.

BRIDGETTE:
You know BUFFY and FAITH?

SPIKE:
You'd be surprised how well I knew BUFFY and FAITH is a wild little lass, isn't she?

TANYA:
We never met either one of them, just heard the amazing stories from Mr. Wells?

SPIKE:
Who?

BRIDGETTE:
Andrew.

SPIKE:
Oh, so our lad is a Mr. now, good for him.

BRIDGETTE[Dreamy]:
He is so smart and cute.

SPIKE:
Right, he is a teen idol [Sarcastic] Anyways, my story isn't about Lucas Jr. or BUFFY and FAITH. This is about two other slayers, two very pathetic slayers if you ask me. Hmmm, kind of remind me of you two. [SPIKE lights up another smoke] You ever hear the story of the vampire who carries the record of most slayer kills?

TANYA:
Yes, he was considered the most dangerous killer aside from ANGELUS.

SPIKE:
I'm him, ANGELUS might have been a very creative killer, but those we're innocent victims, his battle was separate from mine. He killed to kill, I killed to prove that I was something. [ He stares at the girls who are slowly backing away] And that I did, I proved that I was better than ANGELUS, but was I really, he seemed much more important than me to both of our girls and throughout the rest of my relationship with him.

BRIDGETTE:
Relationship?

SPIKE [ pointing at them]:
No, don't go there. But those two slayers, they wanted to die, I always understood that. But now, their screams and faces stand out in my head, I hear it every night. Although, I regret it, I somehow miss it, I miss the violence, I miss the taste of their blood. One I didn't even feed on, I snapped her neck, I wonder how that felt? Can you imagine how that feels? [ It's obvious that he is trying to get underneath their skin so he can make his escape]

[Before the girls can answer, they are interrupted by a voice behind them.]

Unknown FEMALE[O.C]:
Oh, I can imagine how it feels, I remember with great clarity how it feels.

[Spike looks behind the girls and is staring directly at the girl who tore his hand off, he is now the one who looks shocked. DANA stands in the doorway, holding a sword with a very vengeful look on her face.]

INT. Watcher's Council Cellar- Day
[ILLYRIA looks strained as a green glow surrounds her and she is floating off the ground. Surrounding her are four women in robes, obviously witches using a binding spell on her. She stares with fascination at the sisters chanting around her. On the stair well is a black man taking notes on the woman, his name is DORIAN MCREE, one of the head watchers. ILLYRIA looks at him with contempt.]
ILLYRIA:
This barrier cannot last too long, magic is very fleeting. You know that right, Mr. Mcree?

DORIAN [Smiling coyly]:
Miss, I assure you, we are not here to torture you, just protecting you for your safety.

ILLYRIA:
You mean, your safety, once I get out I will rip your arms out of your sockets, then stuff them down these ladies throats.

DORIAN:
Now, now, we mean no harm to you.

ILLYRIA:
You mean no harm, but you keep me like prisoner. I smell the Council's lies all over your breath. [She stares blankly at DORIAN] But you aren't the one who extracted my memories, tell me who did?

DORIAN:
We know nothing about that, I swear, I just work here.

ILLYRIA:
Then you'd tell me where SPIKE is? You must know that much?

DORIAN:
He's safe.

ILLYRIA:
He's my dog, he's my property, bring him to me.

[DORIAN is confused by that remark, but answers anyways.]

DORIAN:
Sorry, but I'm not regulated to "¦

ILLYRIA:
Then tell me where ANGEL is?

DORIAN:
Sorry, but we don't know what your talking about.

ILLYRIA:
Your lying again Mr. Mcree, don't lie to GOD, it's not good for your health.

[Dorian gulps then walks back up the stares now in fear of the demi-god.]
 
ANGEL GOT OWNED! HHAHHAHA!

Wait... Because you're doing this story, does that mean that you stopped writing the "20 Years Later" one?!
 
I probably didn't write it right, but ANGEL DID NOT GET KILLED BY GUNN and I just wrote his death off camera, hence the bloody axe that was lunged into the gut of the warrior that fell onto Angel and Gunn's dead arm was supposed to symbolize that he died. And Twenty Years later is always an ongoing project, if this first episode gets good reviews I'll probably turn it into a real virtual season
 
I think she meant that Angel died(?) next Gunn.

YES! I like the 20 Years Later one! Hey... CONTINUE WITH THAT ONE TOO!
