Wesley: How did you find out?
Sophia: Dude! its ALL over non-human resources
Wesley: Of course it -- what's that?
Sophia: Oh, thats Angel and Spike they've been yelling at each other for 40 minutes
Wesley: should we go down and check?
Sophia: Sure! Oh, wait we need to stop bye Gunn's office first
Wesley: Why?
Sophia: He has one of my cases
they start downstairs, hear Gunn singing
Gunn:Three little maids who, all unwary, Come from a ladies' seminary, Freed from its genius tutelary,Three little maids from school! Three little maids"”..and ya don't stop with all the ladies in the...gangsta but ... go....What's up?
Wesley: I should ask you. You seem unutterably cheery
Gunn: I am, I am. She was so keyed up from last night's fight, she asked me over. We ended up talking for hours like old times, then, all of a sudd"” I can't even keep this up 'cause your face is gonna make me weep. Wes, I am so messin' with you.
Sophia stifled a giggle by the door, but Wesley didn't noticed, Gunn subtley nodded to her
Wesley: Oh, I....No....I...
Gunn: come on, brother gets a dig in, that's my right.
Wesley: so, you know about...did....did.....she tell you?
Gunn: No, it's on every blackberry in the building
Wesley: Not just non-human resources
Sophia: It would appear so
Wesley: And... is that all right...with you? Fred and me?
Gunn: A year ago, you wouldn't have asked me that question. The man becomes civilized. It's cool. Our thing's long done, and I know how you feel about her.
Sophia: EVERYBODY knows how he feels about her
Gunn: And to add the necessary boilerplate, you ever hurt her, I'm gonna kill ya like a chicken.
Sophia: ditto
Sophia makes an OK sign with her thumb and index finger
Wesley: Acceptable terms.
Sophia: now, whats up and do you have my file?
Gunn: I do.

 

[Edmund Blackadder]

The basic idea is good, quite interesting actually.

There are some issues I have with it and would be more than happy to cast an unbiased eye over it for future parts.

I even have one or two ideas that you might wish to throw in.

If yes to any of the above, feel free to email me.

Chapter TWO

CHAPTER TWO
Sophie: Great, talk to me.
Gunn: Lindsey McDonald.
Wesley: You told me this was for a case.
Sophia: It is.
Wesley: Sophie.....
Sophia: Angel gave me the case of finding him. Im Locator Gal.
Wesley: And you know where he is?
Gunn: Was.
Sophia: Okay, I'm confused, you been stealin' my cases?
Gunn Laughs
Gunn: Girl, don't you want me to help you out
Sophia: well while i'm here you might as well tell me what you found.
Gunn: He can hide from the senior partners, but not from the DWP and not from our many, many ears.
Wesley: He was living here....
Gunn: Under the name of Doyle. The way he was messin' with Spike and Angel, could be he had some other schemes laid out. Senior partners took him out fast. I don't even think he had time to pack.
Sophia: good. Nice. I'll write up the report and you can tell Angel.
Gunn: I ain't goin' in there.
Sophia: Fine, you write up the report and Wes and I'll check whats up in there
Gunn: I like that plan
Sophia: I'll return for you.
Gunn: If you dont, I'll look for you
Sophia: Please do.
They exit

Chapter Three!

CHAPTER 3

Sophia and Wesly enter Angel's office to find Spike andAngel in the middle of an arguement

Spike: It's bollocks, Angel! It's your brand of bollocks from the first to last.
Angel: No, you can't ever see the big picture. You can't see any picture!
Spike: I am talking about something primal. Right? Savagery. Brutal animal instinct.
Sophia: Boys.......
Angel: And that wins out every time with you.
You know, the human race has evolved, Spike!
Spike: Oh, into a bunch of namby-pamby, self-analyzing wankers who could never hope to"”
Angel: We're bigger. We're smarter. Plus, there's a thing called teamwork, not to mention the superstitious terror of your pure aggressors!
Spike: You just want it to be the way you want it to be.
Angel: Its not about what I want!
Wesley: Sorry. Is this something we should all be discussing?
Sophia: Yes, considiring you totally blocked me out.
Angel: Sorry. No
Wesley: It just sounds a little serious
Angel: It was mostly...theoretical. We...
Spike: We were just working out a b"”
Look, if cavemen and astronauts got into a fight, who would win?
Wesley: you've been yelling at each other for forty minutes about this?
Sophia nods
Wesley: Do the astronauts have weapons?
Angel and Spike: No.
Sophia: Cavemen
Wes gives Sophie a look
Sophia: What?!
Angel: The case I gave you?
Sophia: Yeah, I had Gunn help, he'll give you the official report, I'm just here to let you know that he's gone, and he probably won't be coming back.
Angel: Good.
Wesley: One less thing we have to worry about
Spike: We still haven't had an apocalypse this year
everybody gives Spike a look
Spike: What?! you're all thinking it.
Sophia: And we still haven't sorted out the Shanshu Prophecy.
Wesley: That could prove to be....diffucult.....
Angel: Yes, well you two should get to work on that
Sophia: Thats his(points to wes) department, not mine.
Wesley: I'll get my department working on that
Spike: good. Find out what it says about me.
Sophie and Wes sense another arguement coming on and hastily leave the office

Chapter 4

CHAPTER 4

Fred, Lorne and Sophie are walking through Wolfram & hart having a conversation.

Fred: But that doesn't make any sense.
Lorne: I just call it like I see it
Fred: But the cavemen have fire. That's what they live with in their caves. The astronauts should at least have some sort of weapon.
Sophia: And, you know, lots of fighting styles have, like, Primal roots
Fred: Really?
Sophia: Totally, you know, a few years ago, The First Slayer tried to kill my sister and all her friends in their dreams.
Fred: Really?
Sophia: Yeah, I guess that's why i gotta side with Spike.
They see Wesley coming up the stairs
Wesley: I was just on my way to thinking of an excuse to come and see you.
Fred: And how is that working out?
Wesley: Really great. Where are you coming from?
Fred: Oh, medical. I breathed some old mummy dust. Had to make sure I didn't discover any new germs.
Sophia: Oh my god!
Wesley: You all right?
Fred: They shooed me right off. Mummy free.
Wesley: Good. I was hoping to take you out tomorrow night, and I don't feature you wrapped in bandages.
Fred: Take me out where?
Wesley: Can it be a secret?
Lorne: Oh, sheesh.
he goes to wlak down the stairs
Lorne: Get a balcony, you two
Sophia(following Lorne): Hey, can you help me with a case?
Lorne: Sure, you ready to take the mic?
Sophia: Totally, I was thinking something by Meredith brooks
Lorne(laughs): alright then.

Chapter 5

CHAPTER 5

Fred: You'll still find me for lunch, though, right?
Lorne: I'll just look where the sun shines. (singing) You are my sunshine, my only sunshine... he continues to walk down the stairs
Fred: You make me happy"”
Lorne reads her and turns horror, he catches her as she coughs up blood and falls, The team don't know it yet, but they've only just begun.
Wesley: Get medical. Some one get medical NOW!
Sophia: I'm on it.
She runs back up the stairs to where Fred was coming from, medical

Fred is lying in a bed. Gunn, Wesley, Angel, Lorne, Spike and Knox are all by her bedside.
Fred: It's my boys. I haven't had this many big, strapping men at my bedside since that night with the varsity lacrosse team.
That was a joke.
Lorne: Well, you sure gave us all a big scare, Freddles.
Angel: Yeah, you just need to rest. The lab is doing some blood work.
Fred: I'm a mummy, arn't I?
Spike: I've fought plenty of mummies, and none of 'em were as pretty as you. Almost none.
Fred: Now y'all are being too comforting. What's really up?
Sophie enters the room ,she stays by the doorway, nobody notices her, but Wesley does. He walks to her, Fred continues to talk to the others.
Wesley: Sophie.
Sophia: Wes.
Wesley: Is it bad?
Sophia: they're not sure exactly what it is, but to answer your question, yeah, its bad.
Wes looks concerned.
From the bed, Angel says
Angel: That's how it works. Let's get crackin'.
Angel leaves. Everybody but Wes follows

Angel, Sophie and Spike are waiting at the doorway for Wes, they see Wesley kiss Fred
Angel: Wes and Fred?
Spike and Sophia: You didn't know?!
Angel: I didn't know.

They all move into the hallway
Angel: How's she handling it?
Wesley: She's smarter than all of us put together. she knows it's bad
Gunn: How bad? What do we know?
Sophia: A little bit more than nothing.
Gunn: How much more?
Sophia: So far the lab's got that she's sick.
Gunn: Thats it?
Sophia: So far. We've got the whole medical department doing tests on her
Wesley: On her?
Sophia: Her blood
Wesley: Oh.

They continue into the lobby, and are joined by Knox
Knox: Whatever she's got, it doesn't match up with any of the pathogens in our archives. It's mystical, and it's not ours.
Angel: What about the sarcophagus?
Wesley: My team is cross-checking the symbols, but it's also new territory for us.
Wesley: My team is cross-checking the symbols, but it's also new territory for us.
Gunn: Angel, what exactly is happening? you talked to the doctor....
Wesley: They have something?
Sophia: More?
Angel: Yeah, I, uh, some parasitic agent is working its way through. I mean as near as they can tell....
Sophia: Through Fred?!
Wesley: Get to the point.
Angel: Her organs are cooking, in a days time, they'll liquefy.
Spike: No. Not this girl. Not this day.
Angel: Look, Wes, you gotta tell me what was in that box. I need a name. History. Anything

Chapter 6

CHAPTER 6

Continued from Chapter 5.....


Knox: We can't get it open. Not even the lasers.
Wesley: Where did it come from?
Knox: It just showed up. No return address. Didn't recognize the guy who brought it in"”come to think of it, in the middle of the night.
Angel: This was deliberate.
Sophia: Gee, ya think? well who would want one of us dead. and of all of us, Fred? She's gotta be the least corrupt.
Angel: Which is probably why they want her dead. But...who?
Lorne: Senior Partners
Gunn😀oesn't add up, but I'll hit the White Room. Talk to the conduit.
Angel: Now, look, if the senior partners didn't do this, you gotta get them to help us
Gunn: Any way I can.
Spike: What about Doyle"”uh, Lindsey? The man likes to play his games.
Angel:I was looking to work the streets, and we've got his address. For all we know, he's probably sitting there laughing. And if there's muscle work to do...
Sophia: I get to kick his ass?
Spike: Let's make it twice as fast.
Lorne: And baby makes three"”in case anybody feels like singing.
Sophia: And I'll join you, I've just been itching to get a punch in.
Wes: I'll hit the books
Angel: Good. Guys....
Wesley: You don't have to say it.
Angel: I'll say it anyway. Winifred Burkle. Go
They all race off in separate directions

Spike: No sign of Lindsey.
Angel: Look for plans.
Sophia: uh...guys....
Angel opens the bedroom doors and walks in.

Angel: Well, I'll be damned all over again.
Eve is sitting in bed, looking terrible

Eve: Don't touch me.
Angel: Hiding out from the senior partners, Eve? How many sick days do you get before they dock you?
Eve: What do you want?
Angel: Fred's dying. Some mystical parasite. Ring a bell?
Sophia: If you do, I am so gonna kick your ass, if you don't I am so gonna kick your ass. I gotta kick someones ass
Eve: I don't know what you're talking about.
Spike: What about your boyfriend, love? You got some wacky scheme brewin'? Sending coffins about?
Eve: You two stay away from me.
Angel: Look, Eve, this happens quickly or very, very slowly.
Spike: Sarcophagus. Older than anything we know.
Eve: Lindsey and I had nothing to do with that. I'm not lying. I"”I'm not.
Have you...heard from him? About him?
Spike: Oh, this is truly poetical.
Sophia: personally, I think he's in some terrible Hell Dimension. Something painful. Sounds like the kinda thing they'd do.
Angel: You're not saying what we need to hear. (Turns to sophie) I like that.
Eve: Why would we do anything to Fred?
Why would we even care about her"”?
Lorne punches Eve
Lorne: Ooh. Oh, I'm sorry. That was a knuckle-buster. I'm Jake LaMotta over here. It's pathetic. Oh.
Here's the thing, Eve: You're going to sing for me, and I'm going to read you right now. And here's one more thing: Winifred Burkle once told me after a sinful amount of Chinese food, and in lieu of absolutely nothing, "I think a lot of people would choose to be green. Your shade, if they had the choice." If I hear one note"”one quarter-note"”that tells me you had any involvement, these two won't even have time to kill you.
Oh, and anything by Diana Warren will also result in your death"”well, except "Rhythm of the Night."
Sophia: Nice. (High fives Lorne)
Eve: I wanna help. I swear to you. I've got nothing against Fred.
Angel: Say it...with a song in your heart.
Sophia: Hell, why don't cha just sing it? Hell....that reminds me of your boyfriend for some odd reason (smiles and nods)
Eve: Pretty as a picture. She is like a golden ring.
Lorne: She's clean.
Sophia: You sure?
Angel: You've been wrong before.
Lorne: Yeah, and I might be now, but she reads clean. Her future's not too bright, but...
Eve: What do you mean?
Lorne: Well, nothin's written in stone"”lately"”but, uh, if I was about to face your future, I'd make like Carmen Miranda...and die.
Sophia: (laughs) dude....That rocks (2nd high 5)
Eve: Wait. Please. Are you going to tell the senior partners where I am?
Spike: Hell of a bargaining chip.
Sophia: Yeah......I wonder...Nah, thats too evil.....Well, maybe.....
Eve: No, they can't help you. I mean it. If you're talking about a sarcophagus that doesn't match anything in our records...there's nothing that's not in our records except what came before. The old ones.
Angel: The original demons. Before human kind. They were all driven out of this dimension.
Eve: The ones that were still alive. But long before that, they were killing each other all the time, and they don't die the way we do. Wesley may not know it, but his source books can conjure up anything, not just our own stock. Tell him to look for the texts that are forgotten, the oldest scrolls. You need to find the Deeper Well.
Sophia: You think the old ones are hurting Fred?
Angel: Or more precisely, An old one
Sophia:.....Bitch.

CHAPTER 7

Briefing in Wesley's office

Wesley: It's called Illyria, a great monarch and warrior of the demon age murdered by rivals and left adrift in the Deeper Well.
Sophia: Ill Air Ree Yah?
Wesley: Illyria.
Angel: Which is what? This Deeper Well, I mean
Wesley: A burial ground, a resting place of all the remaining old ones.
Gunn: This one ain't restin'.
Sophia: (clutching a sword) I'll arrest it.
Wesley: (Ignoring Sophie) No. I don't think this is merely an infection. Fred's skin is...hardening like a shell. I think she's being hollowed out so this thing can use her to gestate, to claw its way back into the world. That's speculation. Either way, she dies.
Sophia: Ugh. Oh my god. Is there anything we can do?
Angel: And do we have any chance of finding this Deeper Well?
Wesley: I don't know and I've already found it. It's in England, in the Cotswolds. That's the location, to the inch.
Angel: Lorne, tell Harmony to prep the jet. We can be there in 10 hours.
Knox: You can be there in 4.
We have really good jets.
Wesley: It will have a guardian, maybe several.
Spike: Let 'em send an army.
Sophia: Havn't had a good fight in ages
Gunn: How do we know goin' there's gonna do squat?
Wesley; The Deeper Well is almost like a prison for the dead. If something gets out, it's written it can be drawn back from the source.
Sophia: And stopping the infection
Angel: That's our shot.
Wesley: We'll keep working here, but, yes, I think it is.
Sophia: Good. We have a shot. We'll save Fred. Right?
Angel: Yes.
Lorne: If nobody thinks it's too ridiculous, I'm going to pray.
Wesley: No, it's appreciated. Time is not on our side.
Sophia; But hey, super-fast jet
Angel: Come on. Let's save the day.
(Spike, Sophia and Angel walk out)

Chapter 8
Spike: I've never flown before
Angel: I've been in a helicopter. They don't...
go this high.
Sophia: Oh my god! You guys are scared of heights! whats up with that? If we crash, you'll both survive
Spike and Angel: (looking queasy) Crash?
Sophia: its happened before
Spike: (nervous laughter) Hey, after we save Fred, we should hit the West End, take in a show.
Sophia: sounds rockin'....what were you thinking?
Angel: I've never seen Les Mis.
Spike: Trust me, half way through the first act, you'll be drinking humans again.
Angel: Can't lose her, Spike.
Spike: We won't.
Angel: I lost Cordy.
Sophia: No...No! that won't....not again....I lost my best friend because some higher power chose her to be its hell-mother, thats not gonna happen again.....not again. Never again
Spike: Soph, we'll save her.
Sophia: We can try.
[br][/br]
Edit:
[br][/br]
CHAPTER 9

Spike, Sophia and Angel are in a forrest

Sophia: A forrest? We're in a forrest? Why the hell are we in a forrest?
Spike: When is a door not a door? When it's not soddin'-well there.
Sophia: A tree? This guy lives in a tree? no wonder Illyria got out.
Angel: You wanna bet that's the entrance to the Deeper Well?
Spike: Either that, or Christmasland. Do you ever have any fun?
Sophia: Spike, I think he's about to.
Spike; And they even brought us weapons. Strategy?
Angel: Just hold my hand.
Sophia: Aww.....You guys.
Angel: Sophie. Stand next to me
Sophia moves to stand beside Angel
Spike: St. Petersburg.
Angel: Thought you'd forgotten.
They let go of each other's hand, dropping a wire between them
Sophia: What, did you just happen to have that in your pocket?!
Demons run into the wire, getting decapitated
Sophia: Nice! And also. Ew.

Chapter 10

Chapter 10

Angel: Is that all?! We havn't even started!!
Sophia: I was personally starting to get kinda bored.

A man appears at the tree gateway and walks out toward Angel, Sophia and Spike

Drogyn: I'd say thats enough
Sophia: And who are you?!
Angel: Drogyn
Drogyn: Angel.
Angel:You're the keeper of the well.
Drogyn: Have been for decades.
Spike: Well, who in the bloody"”
Drogyn: Do not ask me a question.
If you ever ask me a single question, I will kill you outright. Don't think for a moment that I can't.
Angel: He can. He would.
Sophia: what?!
Drogyn: You're here about Illyria.
Sophia: We are
Drogyn: Enter.
Sophia: How?
Drogyn: I just said to you, not one moment ago, don't ask.
Sophia: no.....You told him (points to Spike)
Angel: Seriously. He doesn't like questions.
Spike: Why the bloody hell not?
Angel: He can't lie.

They go into the tree

Drogyn: I would never have thought you'd end up here, Angel.
Angel: I could say the same.
Spike: So, you two know each other.
That was a statement. I already know that you do.
Sophia: (coughing) question!
Drogyn: I'll tell you as much as I can. The old ones were demons pure. They warred as we would breathe"”endlessly. The greater ones were interred, for death was not always their end. Illyria was feared and beloved as few are. It was laid to death in the very depths of the well... until it disappeared a month ago.
Spike: Someone took it from under your nose a month ago, and you didn't miss it 'til now? That makes you quite the crap jailer, doesn't it.
Also a statement.
Sophia: (louder this time) Question
Drogyn: Your friends like to talk.
Angel: So much, they're even right sometimes. The man I remember couldn't be stolen from so easily.
Sophia: How come I've never heard of this guy? How come Spike's never heard of this guy?
Spike: Good Point.
Drogyn: The tomb was not stolen. It disappeared. I believe it was pre-destined to as part of Illyria's escape plan. And as for my not noticing,
Sophia: Oh my god.
Spike: Bloody hell.
Angel: How far does this go down?
Drogyn: All the way. All the way through the Earth.
Sophia: That's......far
Angel: So, the coffin disappeared, teleported, but it was brought to us.
Sophia: Why was that?
Drogyn: Illyria was a great power"”so great that, after millions of years dead, somewhere on this Earth still has acolytes.
Sophia: so....one of them had it sent there?
Drogyn: It's been freed"”the demon's essence.
Spike: Yeah, it's been freed. Why do you think we're here?
And what's your favorite color? What's your favorite song? Who's the goalkeeper for Manchester United? And how many fingers am I holdin' up?
You wanna kill me? Try. But I don't have time for your quirks.
Sophia: (guessing for Drogyn) Brown. Crazy. I'd say he doesn't know.two. And don't make me kick your ass, okay?
Drogyn: The power to draw back Illyria lies in there. It requires a champion who has traveled from where it lies to where it belongs.
Angel: You got two of those right here. And a champion's sister
Drogyn: But I didn't know it was free.
If we bring the sarcophagus back to the well, it will draw Illyria out of your friend...and into every single person between here and there. It will become the mystical equivalent of airborne. It will claw into every soul in its path to keep from being trapped. Entire cities"”tens maybe hundreds of thousands will die in agony if you save her.
Angel: No.
Sophia: Oh my god.
Spike: That's madness.
Drogyn: This is a place of madness. I'll prepare the spell. Your choice.
Angel: To hell with the world

Spike and Sophia stay to talk, looking down the hole.

Sophia: Oh my god.
Spike: Yeah.
Sophia: This is....Insane.
Spike: Yeah.
Sophia: Think he'll really do it?
Spike: I don't know. Angel's a champion. But Fred.....
Sophia: She spent five years in a hell dimension.

Spike looks at her in shock

Sophia: You didn't know? Well.....If she dies it'll be like....we saved her...for nothing, like.....her death won't matter. Her life won't matter....and...I'll be alone.
Spike: Soph....
Sophia: I've been through my share of things in the last 8 years. Starting with Buffy being chosen. Is this how it ends?
Spike: Even if she dies...You won't be. You'll be alive. Never forget that
Sophia: You don't believe Angel will do it?
Spike: Angels a hero.
Sophia: Thats not an answer.
Spike: Then I guess I don't have one

they look over the edge of the rail.
Angel enters the caveroom. But they don't look up.

Angel: Spike....
Spike: This goes all the way through to the other side. So, I figure, there's a bloke somewhere around New Zealand standing on a bridge like this one, looking back down at us. All the way down. There's a hole in the world. Feels like we ought to have known.
