Slayer - Season 5 - Episode 5x01 - Return
By Ben
ST. PETERSBURG, RUSSIA – CEMETARY
A GIRL with dark brown hair stands alone in the CEMETARY, holding a WOODEN STAKE.
THREE FIGURES in MILITARY FATIGUES step forward, behind bushes and hide.
ONE of DAC’S UBERVAMPS comes running from behind a tombstone.
Female Commando: Get ready…
THE GIRL stood there and the UBERVAMP came face to face with her – only that the GIRL ripped her hair off, revealing it was a WIG and RICK ARNOLD stood…
The THREE COMMANDOS stood up aiming crossbows at the UBERVAMP – the COMMANDOS were PARA, SAMANTHA and JESTER.
The UBERVAMP turned around and started to run, but was punched to the ground – by DAC.
The UBERVAMP looked at DAC – making a connection. DAC pulled his SWORD out and SLICED the head of the VAMP off turning it to dust.
The FIVE COMMANDOS of THE ELITE walked towards each other.
Rick: Seriously – why do I have to be the bait? I mean, their Dac’s creations, not mine. He should be the bait.
Dac: If they recognize me – I could kill them faster, but still –
Sam: It’s just a nice way to show off your girlish figure.
Para: So how many more do we have to track down Dac?
Dac: Here? None. He have to hit Canada and New Mexico, and then we’re done, I swear.
Para: Okay.
Rick: You do realize that after all of this, there will be a nice cell waiting for you back at Headquarters.
Dac: Please. I swear to you I was under Bob Kline’s control. He’s a bad guy. He helped the –
Sam: Gag him, please.
PARA started to walk away, JESTER followed closely behind.
Jester: Para?
Para: Yes?
Jester: Are you okay?
Para: Yeah, I’m fine.
Jester: You’re a horrible liar.
Para: I know…
Jester: Besides, you can’t lie to family…especially your big brother.
Para: Step-brother. It’s not my fault our parents found each other attractive.
Jester: You say that in such an evil way.
Para: Me, evil? Never.
PARA laughed a little with JESTER.
Jester: I can’t wait to get home, I’ll tell you that much.
Para: Yeah, home would be nice.
Jester: What’s going to happen with you when you get back?
Para: I’ll move back in with Ben, I’m quite sure he wouldn’t do anyone or anything without me – we’ve worked things out –
CHARGER CITY GRAVEYARD –
BEN locked his lips onto TARA’S. TARA lied on the ground, motionless, behind a tombstone.
Mandy: She’s still not breathing!
RYAN knelt at her chest area.
Ryan: When you’re ready to administer CPR…
Ben: Now!
RYAN started to press on her chest.
IN FRONT of the TOMBSTONE
FALCON, RIVER and JOEY fought off THREE LARGE SCLAY DEMONS.
SHANE and MARTY stood on top of FALCON’S CRYPT
Shane: Look – there are vampires on the way.
BEHIND the TOMBSTONE
TARA started to cough and come back to reality. MANDY hugged TARA. RYAN and BEN jumped back into the fight with FALCON, RIVER and JOEY.
SHANE’S VOICE filled BEN’S HEAD
Shane: Ben – Vampires, coming up from behind.
Ben: Gotcha.
Ryan: Huh?
Ben: No time to explain, come on.
RYAN and BEN ran right past FALCON, RIVER, JOEY and the 3 DEMONS.
Falcon: Where the hell are they going?
Joey: Never mind that, how in the hell do we kill these things?!
BEN and RYAN pulled out WOODEN STAKES. The VAMPIRES charged at BEN and RYAN – there were only 5, so they could handle it.
BEN lured three away leaving RYAN to take on two.
RYAN lifted his leg and swung across connecting to the VAMPS faces. In a desperate move, RYAN staked one and turned it to dust.
The OTHER VAMPIRE shook off the kick and PUNCHED RYAN hard enough to send him flying backwards, right next to TARA, whom was still on the ground.
MANDY stood up from behind the TOMBSTONE.
FIRE FORMED in her eyes and channeled all the way down to her hands, forming two balls of fire. THE BALLS expanded.
RYAN looked up.
Ryan: So it’s not often you have balls, let alone balls of fire in your hand?
RYAN fell unconscious.
MANDY released the balls at BEN’S VAMPS setting them ablaze. The VAMPS turned to DUST. BEN chucked his stake at the other VAMPIRE and it turned to dust.
MANDY threw the other ball at FALCON’S DEMON. The DEMON sensed the ball coming and flipped around throwing FALCON in the way.
FALCON looked – JOEY threw his DEMON in front of FALCON.
FALCON fell to the ground screaming like a little girl.
BEN came up from behind on the DEMON that FALCON was fighting. He SNAPPED it’s neck.
River: No, you see you got it all wrong. Snapping a neck, just doesn’t cut it.
RIVER pulled a HATCHET from his waist.
Ben: Nice.
RIVER pounded the HATCHET into the DEMON’S SKULL – until it died.
FALCON still sat on the ground screaming…
Ben: What’s his damage?
Falcon: It burns! It burns!
BEN walked over to FALCON and pulled him up. FALCON looked at himself and started feeling around.
Falcon: Oh thank God! I thought I was a goner.
Ryan: Only in our dreams.
RYAN reloaded his CROSSBOW and looked at JOEY.
Ryan: Nice moves out there.
Joey: I learned from the best.
RYAN and JOEY slapped each other’s hands.
MARTY and SHANE climbed down from FALCON’S CRYPT.
Marty: Can you believe we start school tomorrow?
Shane: Unfortunately.
Joey: Yeah, but it’s our junior year now, guys.
River: I won’t lie to you, that was one of the best ideas you’ve had.
Joey: What? The skipping a grade? Tenth grade is for losers.
Ben: I’m still not too fond of it.
Joey: Why?
Ben: What about all your friends from the freshman year?
Joey: What about them? We’re cooler now.
Ben: You do realize it’s going to be a lot harder for you to fit in now, right?
Joey: Me having problems fitting in? Never!
Ben: If you say so.
TARA held onto her chest.
Tara: What happened?
Ben: You’re gust of wind spell kind of went to the inside.
Tara: Why do I have the taste of hot dogs in my mouth?
Ben: Hey! I saved your life, okay? I’m sorry that the hot dog stand was the closest place for me to grab something to eat. Gee whiz!
TARA smiled at BEN.
Tara: Thank you.
Mandy: I’m gonna get her home you guys. Take care of her.
JOEY and RIVER made a very immature “OOOOOH!” at that.
Mandy: And you just wish you could watch.
JOEY nodded.
RIVER smacked JOEY’S HEAD.
Joey: What?
Shane: We’re gonna head off to. Thanks for another creepy and eventful night.
SHANE and MARTY walked off, following TARA and MANDY.
RIVER, JOEY, BEN, RYAN and FALCON all walked towards the exit of the CEMETARY.
Ryan: Hey, a couple of the guys are in town, you wanna come with?
Ben: Not so much. Need to go home and spend some time with River. Thanks though.
Ryan: Okay, well you take it easy.
Ben: You too. See you tomorrow.
RYAN jogged away, as he was a little late.
Falcon: Well that was certainly, a, uh…
Ben: Falcon?
Falcon: Yes?
Ben: The next time you need to scream…try and make it a little more masculine instead of like a little girl.
BEN and RIVER laughed and walked ahead of him.
FALCON stood back, thinking.
He started to walk off,
Falcon: I don’t scream like a little girl.
FALCON tripped into an open GRAVE, screaming like a little girl.
Falcon: Bloody fantastic.

COMMERCIAL
DOWNTOWN CHARGER CITY – MORNING
[Special Guest Star Brad as Bradley Giles]
CITY HALL
THE MAYOR’S OFFICE
BOB KLINE sat at his desk, dressed in a nice suit, with other guys in suits and a few ladies in snazzy clothes.
[And JohnArnold as General Rick Arnold]
Bob: …And I know we can stop this all.
Woman: Mayor Kline, don’t you think this going a bit far?
Bob: What do you mean?
Woman: That thing, The Host or whatever you called it, it’s demonic. It’s like Superman too. It can’t be stopped, our police officers can’t stop it.
Bob: Well I won’t lie to you. Charger City isn’t exactly the most normal place in the world.
Man: Yes. With vampires, demons and all sorts of other bad karma running around.
Bob: Taking this city was a very difficult choice for me, but I think I can handle it.
Woman: You were from Dansville, right?
Bob: Yes. And if you’ve heard anything about that place, Charger City is like a cakewalk compared to Dansville. If you’ll all excuse me, I do have to be on the run.
Man: Where are you going?
Bob: I have to see an old friend who is in town.
[Guest Starring Bob as Bob Kline]
MAYOR BOB KLINE stood up from his chair and showed the COUNCIL out of his office, following behind them.
THE MAGIC BOX
For some odd reason, the MAGIC BOX had a lot of customers that morning. TARA talked to a couple over by the candles, while MANDY consoled a woman about a spell book. RYAN showed off some classic weaponry to a customer. BEN stood behind the counter…on the phone.
[Aragorn as Shane]
[JP Junkee as Marty]
[PunkNerd as Joey Russo]
[Mr.Goodbytes as Principal Layne Hunt]
Ben: …I know Aunt Jenny. I really don’t know where he is, but Mr. Hunt called this morning and said he needs to you to go back and be the librarian.
A pause.
Ben: I know. I know. That place does have a lot of weird things. Weirder than high school, yes. River and I will be over sometime in the weekend. I know you’re my aunt.
Another pause. Ben sighed.
Ben: Aunt Jenny, I have to go. The store is really busy.
[SamFan as Samantha / Sam]
[JesterP as Lieutenant Jester Pocus]
BEN hung up the phone.
MANDY walked behind the counter to where BEN was and rung the girl she helped out.
Mandy: That will be twenty-four seventy.
The WOMAN gave MANDY the money.
Mandy: Exact change. You’re all set, you have a good day today and thank you for shopping at the Magic Box.
MANDY sighed and looked at BEN.
[Episode written and directed by Ben Smythe]
Mandy: How’d the talk with Jenny go?
Ben: Like most of the other ones.
Mandy: She’s not going to do it?
Ben: No, she is. She’s just being more prudent.
Mandy: Weird, then again, with all these customers…
Ben: Yeah. Now that is weird.
CHARGER CITY HIGH SCHOOL
CAMPUS ENTRANCE
RIVER walked with JOEY, SHANE and MARTY.
Shane: Are you sure this is a good idea River?
River: Yeah. I’ve wanted to play for a while, so why not now?
Shane: Understandable. But back then, you weren’t powerful. Something’s changing in you, it’s almost like you’re as strong as your brother.
Joey: And what’s wrong with that? He’d be taking the other team out left and right.
Marty: The point is he can take them out…but will they be able to walk off the field. It’s dangerous having River out there.
River: How come you guys aren’t supporting me on this?
Marty: We are…we’re just worried. We don’t want you to hit trouble.
Joey: Well, if last night was any indication of ‘hitting trouble,’ I think he can handle all the damage he needs to do to trouble.
MR. HUNT walked up behind RIVER.
Mr. Hunt: River Summers.
RIVER turned around.
River: Hey Mr. Hunt!
Mr. Hunt: How was your summer?
River: It was all right. How was yours?
Mr. Hunt: Work filled. The Mayor has started some project with the school. I think it’s stupid.
River: What is it?
Mr. Hunt: What’s sad is that I don’t know much on it.
River: Nothing like not telling the guy in charge.
MR. HUNT coughed as a MAN IN A SUIT walked next to him.
Man: Mr. Hunt?
Mr. Hunt: Yes, sir.
Man: Why are you interacting with these students?
Mr. Hunt: These are good students and it builds for a better school environment.
Man: Or you’re lacking from what you were told to do. Get back to work.
The MAN walked away.
Joey: Wow. Mr. Hunt’s finally got a challenger.
Mr. Hunt: Shut up, Joey.
River: Who was that?
Mr. Hunt: That’s the new Super-Intendent.
River: Oh?
Mr. Hunt: Yeah, well I have to get back to work. You boys, good luck on try-outs.
Joey: Isn’t that kind of weird?
River: What?
Joey: Well, ‘get back to work.’ School doesn’t start for two more weeks. I mean, you’re here because I’m getting you a spot on the football team.
River: I still don’t see how this is going to work.
Joey: How?
River: I missed camp.
Joey: And once we display how powerful you are the coach will adopt you.
River: Okay.
Marty: Well, if we don’t have to be here, we’re going to The Magic Box.
River: Okay. We’ll get together later tonight. There’s a great band at The Spot tonight.
Shane: Yeah, I know! They’re going to make it big.
Joey: Who is it?
Shane: The Gecko Incident.
JOEY’S eyes got wide…he busted up laughing.
Joey: What kind of a name is that?
River: Screw their name man…the music’s awesome. They could call themselves the dikes on bikes if they wanted to and if it were the same songs – It’d be tight.
Joey: Right…well, I’ll talk to Shannon and see what she’s up for tonight. You know Riv – she’s got a friend.
River: That’s alright Joey. I don’t really want a relationship right now.
THE MAGIC BOX
SHANE and MARTY walked in and were amazed – it was still busy in there.
BEN saw SHANE and MARTY walking in and hollered for them to come to him.
Ben: Boys…I need some help!
Shane: What’s up?
Marty: Demon?
Ben: Many…Demonic Customers. Go help ‘em.
MARTY and SHANE both sighed with relief and smiled obliging to help the customers.
The PHONE RANG.
Ben: Mandy – I’m taking the call in the office. Just get me if you need me.
Mandy: Okay!
BEN ran to the BACK OFFICE and answered the phone:
Ben: Magic Box, how can I help you?
LONDON ENGLAND,
BRADLEY GILES’ APPARTMENT –
THREE GIRLS LAY on the FLOOR, bloodied and DEAD.
A MAN dressed in BLACK rummaged through the APPARTMENT looking for something.
BRAD GILES sat cuddled in a corner, holding the phone to his face.
Brad: It’s started.
MAGIC BOX BACK OFFICE
Ben: Hello?
SPLIT SCREEN of MAGIC BOX BACK OFFICE and BRAD’S APPARTMENT/ ENGLAND
Brad: Ben…there’s not much time. The council can’t protect them anymore, only you can. Once they find the books, the world’s time is numbered.
Ben: Protect who? Who is this?
Brad: He’s back…he’s in my apartment…he’s killed three of them and he’ll kill me.
Ben: Brad?
The MAN DRESSED IN BLACK pulled BRAD from the corner and punched him repeatedly. BEN could hear SCREAMS of PAIN through the phone and the punches that were delivered.
The MAN pulled out a very FANCY DAGGER and rammed it through BRAD’S HEART.
BRADLEY GILES fell to the ground, holding the PHONE…DEAD.
Ben: Hello? Joey…really, you need to stop prank calling me at the store, it was funny once.
THE MAN IN BLACK turned in to JOEY.
‘JOEY’ picked up the phone from BRAD’S HAND and spoke.
Joey: Sorry, Ben. I have to go.
Ben: Goodbye, Joey.
BEN hung the phone up.
BRAD’S APPARTMENT
‘JOEY’ morphed into THE HOST.
Host: I told you it wasn’t going to be easy.
