AUTHOR'S NOTE: Hello all. This pilot was actually intended to be submitted to Spelling Inc. but was put on hold because my mom was sick and my time was used up to take care of her. Sadly though, my mom recently passed away and I'm just not in the writing spirit. This is the first part to a two-part pilot and I do plan on finishing the second part and submitting it to the new WB/UPN Television Network called "The CW" for sweeps of next year. I'll get back on this again once I've healed from my mother's passing. Enjoy this pilot everyone!

TEASER
EXT. A PARK- THE CITY OF BOSTON- NIGHT
An innocent GIRL walking down a path in the park. She looks like a teenage Shirley Temple, with light brown curly hair and rosy cheeks.
As the wind blows, she wraps her arms around her chest pulling her jacket closer together. She hears a loud snap. She jolts her head back seeing nothing but the scenery of the lamp and moonlit dark park.
She takes a sigh of relief as she continues walking. She then hears what sounds like a trash can slam on the floor and a dog barking. She gets startled and she looks back and picks up her pace.
As she speed-walks along the path, she hears footsteps behind her. She looks and sees a person's figure nearing her but can only see black boots and black pants as a thick shadow covers the rest of the features.
The figure speeds up his pace as if getting ready to begin a chase and the girl sprits into a run. She runs whimpering and breathing heavy. She looks back scanning the distance but as she turns her head forward, she runs right into a bald demon with black eyes, villainous black eye brows, black teeth, black claws, and shredded black shorts. It snarls at the girl.
GIRL
AHHHHHHH!
The demon scratches her in her cheek. She falls back. She presses her hand against her cheek as she crawls backwards crying. The demon approaches her as it snarls. The demon pounces her and she quickly rolls out of the way. She gets up and begins to run.
CUT TO:
EXT. PARK ENTRANCE- NIGHT
The girl runs out of the park sobbing with her cheek, side neck, shoulder, and sleeve full of blood.
CUT TO:
EXT. BOSTON- RANDOM STREET- NIGHT
The girl runs down a secluded street shaking on the gates of stores and jiggling the knobs of locked doors.
GIRL
(sobbing)
Somebody please help me!
She looks back and sees the demon running toward her. She whimpers as she runs down the street. A short moment later, she ducks in an alleyway.
CUT TO:
EXT. ALLEYWAY
She runs looking behind and runs right into a man, bouncing off him, and falling back. The man is African American with a strong "Busta Rhymes" look.
HEITSI-EIBIB stands over the girl looking at her seriously. He wears black boots, black jeans, a black leather jacket, with a black shirt, small sharp bones through the piercings on his ears, a sharp bone piercing across the nose skin dividing the nostrils, and a necklace of sharp bones with a small monkey skull as a pendant.
The girl looks at him strangely as she breathes heavily. The demon comes creeping up behind them. She panics and grabs Heitsi's jacket.
GIRL
(sobbing)
Oh please, please help me!
HEITSI-EIBIB
(putting his finger on her lips) Shhhh.
It's ok.
The demon shifts into a haze of white misty vapor. It goes into the body of Heitsi-Eibib. The girl looks in shock. A bone piercing across the bottom of his nose appears as his eyes glow a dim white when he smiles. Thunder claps and the reflection of flickering lightning bounces off Heitsi-Eibib. The girl starts to sob as she slowly backs up.
GIRL
No… no please, no.
Heitsi-Eibib pulls her to him with her back against his chest. He licks the blood off her cheek.
HEITSI-EIBIB
Don't worry my dear. Your death will
serve a purpose.
Footsteps are heard. When he looks up, a fist from a blonde girl comes flying toward his face. Heitsi-Eibib is struck in his profile and flies back hitting the ground. The girl falls to the ground and crawls in back of her rescuer.
ARADIA, THE FIRST WITCH, stands there tall and confident looking like "Nicole Hiltz" with an attitude. Blonde hair, brown eyes, sporting a dark green leather jacket, low cut purple blouse, skin tight blueberry jeans, and burgundy high heels. Thunder claps and the reflection of flickering lightning bounces off Aradia.
ARADIA
(smirking)
You should've known I'd find you the
minute you left the underworld.
Heitsi-Eibib wipes the blood off his lips as he gets up.
HEITSI-EIBIB
(smirking)
So the question remains, can you stop
me this time?
ARADIA
I came to finish you off. Same thing.
HEITSI-EIBIB
But will you? You've been late before.
ARADIA
I've stopped you before.
HEITSI-EIBIB
And yet here I am again, far from finished.
ARADIA
My enemies would be far from finishing
me too if I always gave them a cowardly
slip in battle.
Heitsi-Eibib frowns in anger. A long sharp dagger with the blade and handle made out of bone pops into his hand. Aradia takes out her double-edged jagged athamae from her jacket.
HEITSI-EIBIB
I'll show you what a coward can do.
Heitsi backs up as Aradia approaches. Thunder claps and the reflection of flickering lightning surrounds the place. Aradia thrusts her athamae forward three times causing Heitsi to shift back three times to avoid it. Heitsi jolts forward slicing his bone dagger downward at her side-to-side and then across, with Aradia shifting away in a backwards thrust all three times.
With his free hand, Heitsi shoots a crackling meteor like ball of blood red energy at Aradia. Aradia dunks and the energy ball hits the brick wall behind her making a smoking hole. As Heitsi charges Aradia, she delivers a kick to his stomach and quickly spins around to deliver a second kick to his stomach making him stagger back.
Aradia runs up to him, hops up in the air, and delivers three "bicycle leg motion" kicks to his face. Heitsi hops up and delivers a rotating sidekick to her face. As Aradia falls, she positions herself and sweeps Heitsi as soon as she touches the ground. Heitsi falls as Aradia quickly gets up.
With his free hand, Heitsi shoots two red energy balls at Aradia. Aradia shifts from side-to-side to avoid the energy balls while Heitsi uses this small distraction to get up and charge her. He tries to hack her with the knife but she dunks to then use her athamae to deflect four more of his dagger strikes.
Aradia jabs him three times in the face with her free hand, blocks his punch, delivers a cross punch, but he dunks from it, for her to quickly use that opening to elbow him in the face. She quickly kicks him in the groin, kicks him up his face, delivers a forward punch to his face, and shoots him with her free hand with a bright light blue energy pulse crackling with silver "fireworks like" energy sparks.
Heitsi gets a chockfull of energy as he gets shock and flies back hitting the ground.
ARADIA
It's over demon. You lost.
HEITSI
Is that so?
Heitsi's eyes glow a misty white and another of his demons materializes in front of the girl.
GIRL
Ahhhhh!
Aradia snaps her head back and Heitsi immediately shoots a red energy ball at her. Aradia flies back as the red shock hurtles her toward the alley brick wall. She hits the wall making a large crack and falls face down to the ground. The demon brings the crying girl over to Heitsi.
Heitsi makes a vicious look as he plunges the dagger into her heart. The girl weans as she aches in pain. The demon turns into a gray mist and flies back into Heitsi's body. The girl slips off the dagger and plops down to the ground, dead. Heitsi lifts his hands, with bloody dagger in hand, to the air.
HEITSI
In the name of Moloch, lord and master
of human sacrifice, I offer up this
innocent on your spiritual alter!
A hazing black shadow appears over the girl's body and sucks out a light from the dead body as it fades away. Aradia snaps her eyes open and quickly gets up. Heitsi smiles at her as he disappears in a clap of thunder and reflective lightning. Aradia makes a cold facial expression

INT. A REFRIGERATOR- DOOR OPENING
WYATT HALLIWELL opens the refrigerator door scanning the inside looking for food. His eyes rest on a bottle of Tropicana orange juice. He grabs it and closes the door.
CUT TO:
INT. THE KITCHEN
Wyatt begins to drink the whole container of orange juice standing in the kitchen in nothing but a tang-top, boxer briefs, and slippers. He finishes the entire container, lets out a big belch, and throws the container in the trash. He takes off his tang-top as he leaves the kitchen.
CUT TO:
INT. THE LIVINGROOM
Wyatt comes out all dress to begin his day. Having a very strong "Paul Walker" look, he sports light blue jeans, a light brown classic suede hipster jacket, tan boots, and an even-blue polo shirt. He picks up his books and keys and walks out the door.

SUBTITLE: BOSTON SEPTEMBER 23 2027
CUT TO:
INT. HISTORY CLASS
A group of 25 students sit in the room as they listen to the lecture of the professor, DOCTOR JOSHUA JOSEPHUS. Ruggedly handsome with pleasing manly features, this professor, with a strong resemblance to Troy's "Eric Bana" in his manliness, stands at 5"10 with a couple of layers of mousy brown semi-curly hair, a fine trim clean cut beard, broad shoulders, and firm looking arms and waist. He wears an indian-red sports jacket with a long button down blue-gray shirt, black pants, and even brown loafers.
JOSH
It is widely debated among scientists, historians, and scholars about the
origin of life and human civilization.
(beat)
Some think it was in Africa, and some
think it was in Mesopotamia. This
semester, we will be studying African
and Middle Eastern mythology.
(beat)
We will study the similarities and
correlations between the two
mythologies to see if we can
decipher human beginnings.
Wyatt opens and closes his eyes as he tries to fight his sleep. A student raises his hand and Josh acknowledges him.
STUDENT
Will we be reading the creation story
in the Bible's book of Genesis?
ANGLE: WYATT DOZING OFF AS JOSH ANSWERS THE STUDENT
JOSH (o.s.)
Of course. Judaism, Christianity, and
Islam originated in the Middle East. So
the Genesis creation story will be
relevant to our study.
ANGLE: WYATT SNAPS HIMSELF OUT OF HIS SLEEP
Professor Josh picks up a remote control from his desk, aims it at the black board, and presses a button. A huge big flat screen monitor lowers.
JOSH (cont'd)
Today we'll be watching a film that
documents ancient African tribal custom
in 3000 BC. This video will feature the
Hottentot tribe as they hold a ceremony celebrating a victory in battle.
(beat)
If you'll lower the shades.
Two students get up and lower the window shades. One of them walks over and turns off the light and the room is covered in complete pitch-black darkness.
A fire erupts in the middle of the darkness. Hottentot tribesmen bang on drums made of animal skin and fig tree wood as they sing in a native chant. They wear nothing but deerskin underwear and have painted white tribal markings all over their bodies.
Wyatt sits at his desk and is the only student present in the night desert setting. Wyatt observes the tribe as they stop their march and chanting, and begin to dance wildly, to the rhythmic beats of the drums, around the fire.
A moment later, a path is made for a hysterical women being carried on a wooden stretcher. They add wooden support beams to the stretcher to make it stand directly over the fire. The men carrying the stretcher join in the dancing, which becomes more hectic.
Heitsi-Eibib walks into the dancing circle with long braided hair, but otherwise, appearing like the rest of the tribesmen except he's wearing the same necklace of bones and the bone piercing in his nose. As he approaches the screaming girl, several tribesmen throw themselves on top of each other making a human staircase for Heitsi-Eibib to walk up to and look over the girl.
Heitsi-Eibib stares at the girl as he raises his hand. His bone handle dagger pops into his hand and the girl screams louder. As the drumming and the dancing reaches its most possible excited pace, Heitsi-Eibib plunges the dagger into the screaming girls chest.
The entire tribe yells a battle cry in unity. As Heitsi-Eibib holds the dagger in the girl's chest, his hands and arms glow red as dark orange electrical currents are absorbed from the girl's body by the dagger and pumped into the body of Heitsi-Eibib.
Wyatt looks on in concern. Heitsi-Eibib snaps his gaze up from the dead girl and spots Wyatt. He snarls as he leaps up into the air, forms a summersault, and lands a few feet away from Wyatt. He yells as he approaches Wyatt.
HEITSI-EIBIB
(speaking in Hottentot)
Prepare to meet your end, witch!
Raaahhh!
As he raises his dagger to stab Wyatt…
CUT TO:
INT. CLASSROOM
Wyatt snaps out of his sleep in a slight jolt.
JOSH
I'm sorry if my lecture disturbed you
Mr. Halliwell.
Several classmates start to giggle.
WYATT
(softly & a little disoriented)
No apology necessary.
JOSH
Since you became full of zest at my
approach, you can have the honor of
being the first student to get your
assignment for your first African
mythology report.
(beat)
Please… pick a card.
Wyatt draws an index card from the box and Josh walks on by. Wyatt holds up the card and the name written on it says "Heitsi-Eibib".

EXT. SENATOR MARLIN MATHERS HEAD QUARTERS- DAY
CUT TO:
INT. SENATOR MARLIN MATHERS OFFICE
SENATOR MARLIN "MOLOCH" MATHERS sits at his desk with several assistants around him taking notes while he also speaks on the phone.
MOLOCH
I want the file for the state's medical
insurance to have a proposal to cut two
thirds off that budget.
(beat)
And we also need to rebalance the budget
for welfare and section A so some of that
money can go into expanding the new Red
Sox baseball stadium.
(beat)
I want these changes made immediately. And
make sure my limo is waiting outside for
me by 1 P.M. I need to buy a new Lexus.
Some of the workers say "yes sir" as they all scatter out of the office and he hangs up the phone. When the room is empty, Heitsi-Eibib appears in the office in a streak of clapping thunder.
HEITSI-EIBIB
Is this place protected!
MOLOCH
Of course it is.
HEITSI-EIBIB
Good. I don't want that witch tracking
me down.
Heitsi-Eibib takes a seat in front of Moloch's desk.
MOLOCH
(smirking)
Are you still running from Aradia?
HEITSI-EIBIB
Not running! Biding my time. She's the
only one strong enough to stop me. But
I'm glad she's hunting me. Soon I can
lure her into a trap, as she will be
the prize catch in my victories.
Heitsi-Eibib grabs Moloch's nameplate off his desk.
MOLOCH
I just hope you can do a better job of
containing her next time you meet. I
saw the fight last night. She really
kicked your ass.
HEITSI-EIBIB
Only because I didn't use my full power
against her.
MOLOCH
(smirking)
Right! I can see that.
HEITSI-EIBIB
Tell me Moloch… Senator Marlin Mathers.
Does the life of a republican really do
it for you? What can the human world
possibly have to offer a demon spirit
of your awesome abilities?
MOLOCH
Most of the Republican party, along
with many powerful leaders all over
(MORE)
MOLOCH (CONT'D)
the world, worship me for success in
money and power. In return, they give
me all the innocents I need to sustain
myself and harbor some powers of my own.
Heitsi-Eibib puts the nameplate back on the desk.
HEITSI-EIBIB
It just seems like such a waste. You
sitting behind a desk when you can do
so much more.
MOLOCH
I'm biding my time just like you are
Heitsi-Eibib. Soon, both of our reigns
will come to pass and the earth, the
underworld, and the entire universe will
tremble at our mighty hands.
They both laugh in a sinister manner.
CUT TO:
INT. MAGIC SCHOOL- LIBRARY- DAY
CHRIS HALLIWELL, dressed in ashy light blue jeans, gray sneakers, and a raggedy red shirt, places some books on the bookshelf.
Unknown to Chris, Wyatt orbs into the library. He smiles as he slowly sneaks up behind Chris. As Wyatt comes directly behind him…
WYATT
BOO!
CHRIS
Ahhh!
Chris drops a bunch of books and grabs his chest in shock. Wyatt laughs hysterically.
CHRIS (cont'd)
Wyatt! Don't do that!
WYATT
(giggling)
You should've seen the look on your
face man.
Wyatt imitates Chris' shock in a very feminine posture. Chris frowns at his brother.
WYATT (cont'd)
(patronizing)
Awww. Does little Chrissie need a hug?
CHRIS
(calmly declaring)
Get away from me!
WYATT
Awww.
Wyatt puts his arm around Chris, pulls his toward himself, and kisses him on the cheek. Chris makes an annoyed face as he pushes his laughing brother away.
CHRIS
Ugh! You make me sick!
WYATT
(smirking)
Yeah, it's good to see you too.
CHRIS
What are you doing here anyway? Isn't
today the first day of the semester?
WYATT
Yeah but I'm all done. I just came here
to get a spell. But what are you doing here?
CHRIS
Apparently T.A.'s at magic school don't
get the same pay, coverage, or benefits
as the faculty does. So now I also have
to perform the duties of assistant to
the head mistress.
WYATT
Whoa! Dad's idea?
CHRIS
No. Mom's.
WYATT
Are you kidding me? She's that desperate
to have you do something that she's
making you log in more hours at magic
school, helping Billy run the place!
(beat)
It must seem like a drastic measure for
her seeing as she was always trying to
get us to have a normal life outside of
magic.
CHRIS
Yeah well, I need both jobs to cover the
rent for my room and the food in the
fridge.
WYATT
She's charging you room and board! Wow.
Sounds like she means business.
CHRIS
I wish I knew what her deal is. Why is she
trying so hard to push me away and out of
the house?
WYATT
She just wants you do figure out what you
wanna do in life and go do it already.
You're not exactly looking your best these
days.
CHRIS
What's that supposed to mean?
WYATT
Look at you Chris. You're dressed like
you're about to go paint a garage. You're
22 and all you have is an associates degree
from magic school. You're gonna get your bachelor's and master's degree here too?
CHRIS
What's wrong with that? A degree in the
occult arts could come in handy for the
son of a Charmed one.
WYATT
Oh yeah. If you plan to open up a psychic
shop, a Botanica, give New Age seminars,
or work for the Elders.
CHRIS
They give degrees in history, philosophy,
and Language Arts too. Magic school is
registered as an academic arts university
in the outside world.
WYATT
My point is… I know you're still trying to
find yourself and what you want out of life,
but you can't stay at home forever.
(beat)
Sooner or later you're gonna have to figure
out what you're gonna do before mom makes
you figure it out the hard way.
CHRIS
Yeah, I guess maybe you're right. So what
spell did you want?
WYATT
Well I have to do a mythology report on an African tribal warrior but the library at
Harvard isn't giving me the information I
want.
(beat)
So I figure I would use a spell to summon
the spirit of someone from back in those
days, from the Hottentot tribe, and have
them give me the info I want.
CHRIS
In short, have them do your report for you.
WYATT
Ummm… yeah.
Chris smiles.
CHRIS
Let's hope the personal gain rule doesn't
come to bite you in the ass. Who's the
warrior?
WYATT
His name is Heitsi-Eibib.
CHRIS
Wait a minute…
Chris scans through the shelves until he finds an old dark yellow book. He hands the book to Wyatt and Wyatt opens it.
CHRIS (cont'd)
Here you go. This is a whole book on him.
He is a very popular figure in the African
myths that deal with magic and war.
WYATT
Thanks Chris. You're a pretty good Liberian.
CHRIS
Hey, its what I'm forced to do.
WYATT
There's even a spell in here to summon him
and everything.
CHRIS
Shouldn't you read the rest of that book
before you use that spell?
WYATT
What for? Heitsi-Eibib will just tell me everything the book says and more. Give
my love to mom and dad but don't tell
them I was here. Say we talked on the phone.
CHRIS
Will do. Catch you later.
Wyatt walks out of the library.
END OF ACT ONE
ACT TWO
INT. THE UNDERWORLD
Torches are lit all over the rocky cave structure. Heitsi-Eibib is kneeled on the floor with his hands lifted in the air as a red energy barrier surrounds his entire body simmering all over its position. Moloch then shimmers in the cave. Heitsi-Eibib lets down the energy barrier in a frustrated grunt.
HEITSI-EIBIB
I did not want to be disturbed!
MOLOCH
You're supposed to be out finding another sacrifice.
HEITSI-EIBIB
I have my demons on it.
MOLOCH
A powerful witch can vanquish demons, that's
why you're supposed to be out there yourself.
HEITSI-EIBIB
I've blessed my men with additional powers.
MOLOCH
And depleted your own in the process.
HEITSI-EIBIB
Which is why I shouldn't be disturbed
during my meditations. I need to recharge
so that Aradia doesn't get the drop on me.
MOLOCH
The Autumnal Equinox is tonight Heitsi-Eibib.
I need to have a bunch of witches to
sacrifice on if our plan to resurrect all
the vanquished evil powers in the last
century is going to work. And for that, I
need you to do your part.
HEITSI-EIBIB
Don't worry; everything is going
according to plan. Soon, not even
Aradia herself will be able to stop
me. In the meantime--
A bunch of glowing white stars consumes Heitsi-Eibib's body and he disappears. Moloch looks on in confusion.
CUT TO:
INT. THE COTTAGE- LIVING ROOM- NIGHT
Heitsi-Eibib appears in front of Wyatt in a swarm of glowing white stars. Wyatt is sitting on the sofa in his living room. He snaps shut the book he got from magic school.
WYATT
How do ya like that, it worked.
Heitsi-Eibib glares at Wyatt.
HEITSI-EIBIB
What is this?
WYATT
Funny, you don't look at all like I
imagined you to be. Where's the faint
glow? Where's the white hay and pearl
bones of your ghostly tribal outfit?
HEITSI-EIBIB
My what!
WYATT
Oh never mind. You must've been stuck
in limbo or something right?
Heitsi-Eibib cringes his face at Wyatt in angry confusion.
HEITSI-EIBIB
Do you have the slightest idea what
you're doing!
WYATT
Of course I do. You're Heitsi-Eibib right?
HEITSI-EIBIB
Who wants to know?
WYATT
Well you see, I'm in grad school, and
I have a report to do on you. If you
do this for me then maybe I can pull
a couple of strings and get you out
of limbo. I am very well connected
after all.
HEITSI-EIBIB
Mmmmm… I smell power.
WYATT
Um… right. So anyway, why did your
people worship you as a hero?
HEITSI-EIBIB
You mock me.
WYATT
What! No, I just… ya know, I've seen
quite a few ghosts over the years and
you don't strike me as any type of
spiritual being. Hell, if I didn't
know any better I'd think you were a
dem…
Wyatt stares at Heitsi-Eibib who gives him a sinister smile.
WYATT (cont'd)
(realizing his mistake)
You know what… never mind. I didn't
know the extent of your bio. Maybe
I should've taken some time out to
read the book first. But no worries.
You just… go on to what you were
doing before.
HEITSI-EIBIB
I was wondering the limit of how dense
you could possibly be.
WYATT
Just chalk it up to pure carelessness
on my part.
A long sharp dagger with the blade and handle made out of bones pops into the hand of Heitsi-Eibib as he approaches Wyatt.
WYATT (cont'd)
Hey, whoa! Easy there. This was just a
simple misunderstanding. I really don't
have time for a vanquish right now. If
you just shimmer out of here, we can
forget this ever happen.
HEITSI-EIBIB
Don't assume to simply vanquish me witch!
You don't know who you're dealing with.
WYATT
Do you?
HEITSI-EIBIB
Well… let's find out shall we.
Heitsi-Eibib snarls as he lunges toward Wyatt but Wyatt shoots five sparkling orb beams from his eyes that shock Heitsi-Eibib in his tracks. He then shoots a thick shimmering ball of glowing orbs out his hand that knocks Heitsi-Eibib to the floor.
Heitsi-Eibib levitates himself to stand up with his chest bleeding black blood from the wounds of the orb beams and a big oozing wound of black blood on his stomach from the orb ball. Red energy covers the wounds healing them as a white mist covers his body. The white mist splits in two creating three white demons on both his left and right side. They all make a sprit toward Wyatt.
Wyatt holds both of his hands up as a glowing sky blue energy barrier forms and hits Heitsi-Eibib and his demons. The demons explode and Heitsi-Eibib gets shocked with blue electricity. As Heitsi-Eibib runs toward Wyatt, Wyatt nods his head and Heitsi-Eibib goes up in white and light blue flames. Heitsi-Eibib convulses around in circles smacking the fire around his arms. He then stands still and explodes the fire off himself in a huge burst of red energy. Wyatt looks at him in shock as he approaches Wyatt with his bone short sword drawn.
HEITSI-EIBIB
Prepare to meet your end, witch!
Ahhhh!
White electricity shocks Heitsi-Eibib and sends him falling to the floor. As he falls, he reveals Aradia standing right in back of him.
ARADIA
Don't you know that wherever you go
I'll come to you. You must be losing
your charm.
Heitsi-Eibib slowly gets up snarling in low tone at Aradia.
HEITSI-EIBIB
I'll kill you both.
Aradia and Heitsi-Eibib lock glares as they raise their weapons and get into fighting stances circling each other while Wyatt looks on in confusion. Aradia quickly delivers three side-to-side parries with her sais at Heitsi-Eibib with Heitsi-Eibib delivering a single parry that Aradia's sais avoid. Heitsi-Eibib delivers three forward thrusts with his sword that Aradia blocks away with her sais. Aradia avoids a slice attempt by Heitsi-Eibib as she delivers two forward strikes with her sais that Heitsi-Eibib blocks away followed by two upper side-to-side parries to then jolt back to avoid Heitsi-Eibib's next slice attack.
Heitsi-Eibib delivers two lower side-to-side parries followed by two upper side-to-side parries as he quickly lunges himself forward to try and slice Aradia but she moves out of the way until they switch opposite ends with each other and she blocks his next slice attempt. They then parry two upper side-to-side strikes followed by two middle side-to-side strikes before Heitsi-Eibib gets frustrated grabbing his sword with both hands and delivers four hard slice strikes that Aradia successfully blocks to then kick him in the stomach and strike his face twice with the tips of her sai handles knocking him to the floor.
Heitsi-Eibib does a backwards roll and lands on his knees in time to block Wyatt's strike with his sword and pushing Excalibur away with a thrust as he gets up. Wyatt quickly delivers thirteen side-to-side and up and down parries to Heitsi-Eibib with Heitsi-Eibib delivering a slice strike that Wyatt avoids by motioning a forward dunk and switching opposite ends with him. Wyatt then delivers six upper side-to-side parries to block Heitsi-Eibib's next parry with Excalibur and thrust it away in a circular motion. Wyatt delivers two upper side-to-side parries followed by three middle side-to-side parries that Heitsi-Eibib pushes away with his sword.
Aradia rushes to Wyatt's side as Heitsi-Eibib makes another identical short sword pop into his other hand. With both hands Heitsi-Eibib delivers nine up and down and side-to-side parries to Wyatt and Aradia. Heitsi-Eibib moves forward as he thrusts both of their swords away with a circular thrust and switches sides with them. Heitsi-Eibib delivers a single upper slice strike which they both block and a single run-through strike that they both block. Heitsi-Eibib takes a step back each time he blocks their two run-through strikes and a single parry strike. They lock swords for a second as Heitsi-Eibib flips forward and runs out of the living room.
CUT TO:
INT. DINING ROOM
Heitsi-Eibib runs into the dining room. He stands still as four misty fogs exit his body and form four white demons. Wyatt orbs in standing on top of the table as Aradia runs in and goes after Heitsi-Eibib.
As the first white demon hops up on the table and runs toward Wyatt with a fireball in hand, Wyatt quickly cuts off its wrist, spins around giving it a side kick to its back forcing it to run away from his position, and quickly shoots a glowing ball of orbs at it exploding it in a burst of orbs.
Wyatt then slices the second demon running to the table across its chest and shoots a pair of sparkling orb beams from his eyes that vaporizes the demon in a quick sweep of sparkling orb blue energy. The third demon runs up to the table with its fist in flames and does a backhand strike toward Wyatt's legs but Wyatt hops to avoid the strike, kicks the demon in its face, as the demon raises its flaming fist Wyatt slices then cuts his arm off and then shoots a glowing ball of orbs exploding it.
The fourth demon comes to the table sporting a thick bone dagger and parries four times with Wyatt side-to-side before Wyatt kicks it in its face and shoots a glowing pair of orb beams at it vaporizing it. The fifth demon quickly hops on the table but Wyatt back hands it and quickly thrusts his chin up to induce spontaneous combustion. The demon convulses around in white and light blue flames as it explodes.
CUT TO:
Aradia and Heitsi-Eibib parry their swords and sais up and down twenty times before Aradia knocks both swords out of his hands. As Aradia strikes to stab him, Heitsi-Eibib blocks her arm, punches her in the stomach, and backhands her across the face knocking her to the floor.
Wyatt jumps into frame and quickly kneels by Aradia as he extends his blue energy shield around her. Heitsi-Eibib shoots the shield with a thick voltage of red electricity with no success. The shield feeds it back with a red electrical burst that sends Heitsi-Eibib staggering back four feet and almost falling.
Wyatt charges Heitsi-Eibib as he stretches his hand out and makes one of his bone carved swords fly straight to his hand. They parry six times in upper side-to-side strikes before Wyatt orbs one of the tall dining room chairs between them. Wyatt dances around the chair in a mockingly gesture as Heitsi-Eibib strikes the chair four times and finally explodes it after shooting it with a red electrical pulse. They lock swords and grab the other's wrist in a glaring stare. Heitsi-Eibib then thrusts Wyatt back and Wyatt motions a backwards flip, flipping back two times before he stands upright.
As Heitsi-Eibib gets into a fighting stance, Wyatt's wrist glows with orbs as he points the Sword of Excalibur at Heitsi-Eibib. The sword glows with blue energy as it shoots out a crackling beam of thick orbs. It hits Heitsi-Eibib hard knocking him up against the wall. Heitsi-Eibib snarls as he gets off the wall and begins to walk toward Wyatt. Wyatt shoots the beam from the sword again but this time Heitsi-Eibib screams as he's slammed against the wall and bounces off it falling hard on the floor. He gets up with his mouth bleeding and snarling very loudly.
HEITSI-EIBIB
This is far from over… witch!
In a sweeping of orange flames, Heitsi-Eibib sinks into the ground and out of sight.
Wyatt drops his sword and goes up to Aradia, helping her to her feet as she snaps out of her daze.
ARADIA
Where is he!
WYATT
Oh! Well, he's… gone now. What--
ARADIA
Shhh!
Aradia closes her eyes trying to get a feel for Heitsi-Eibib.
ARADIA (cont'd)
He must've have gone back to the
underworld. Thanks for your help.
Aradia puts her sais in her belt as she begins to walk away. Wyatt steps right in front of her blocking her path.
WYATT
Hi. Remember me, I'm the guy who's house
you and your buddies just trashed. I
think you at least owe me an explanation
of what is going on here.
ARADIA
You don't know?
WYATT
All I know is that his name was Heitsi-
Eibib and he's an African tribal magical
warrior.
ARADIA
He hasn't been that for along time.
One would assume that the whitelighter
son of a Charmed one would know who
he was up against.
WYATT
Usually I… wait a minute, how do you
know who I am?
ARADIA
I know the Sword of Excalibur when I see
it. Plus I saw you use your powers.
They're orb based. It wasn't hard to put
two and two together.
WYATT
So help me put two and two together.
ARADIA
Look, I can't stay and brief you on a
situation while Heitsi-Eibib is going
around sacrificing innocents and witches
for his master plan.
WYATT
What master plan?
ARADIA
The plan where he gains ultimate power
and all goodness in this realm is destroyed.
WYATT
You have to let me help you.
Aradia looks at Wyatt up and down and smirks.
ARADIA
I don't need your help.
WYATT
I can't let you go up against this alone.
ARADIA
You don't have a choice.
WYATT
Haven't I proved myself just now? Don't
you think I have a responsibility as a
Charmed one to do something about this.
ARADIA
You may be a Charmed one, but you don't
wield the power of three. So if you
really wanna help, I suggest you get
your mom and your aunties in on this
plan and then maybe, we'll have a better
chance at stopping Heitsi-Eibib.
Aradia begins to walk away.
WYATT
Wait, I didn't catch your name.
ARADIA
(while walking)
It's Aradia.
WYATT
But!…
Aradia shuts the door behind her.
WYATT (cont'd)
Who's gonna help me clean up this mess?
END OF ACT TWO
ACT THREE
INT. THE UNDERWORLD
Moloch stands in front of a group of demons giving them some orders.
MOLOCH
I need you all to put in extra hours
in your training sessions. It's almost
time to begin phase two of our plan
and the last thing I need are demons
who can be easily vanquished by the
witches we need for our sacrifices.
Several of the demons say "yes sire".
MOLOCH (cont'd)
Very well. Now report to your posts,
all of you.
They all bow down before Moloch as they disappear in shimmers and waves of fire.
Heitsi-Eibib falls into the cavern in the rush of a fiery flame. Moloch looks on in confusion as Heitsi-Eibib gets up groining in pain.
MOLOCH (cont'd)
(smirking)
What happened to you?
HEITSI-EIBIB
This isn't funny! Our plans may have
taken a turn for the worse. Tell me,
what do you know of the Charmed Ones?
MOLOCH
The Charmed Ones! The three sisters are
here!
HEITSI-EIBIB
No! But they might be, I'm not sure.
MOLOCH
Well you better get sure pretty damn
quick! What happened!
HEITSI-EIBIB
I was mistakenly summoned by Wyatt.
MOLOCH
Are you sure it was Wyatt?
HEITSI-EIBIB
There was no mistaking him! I smelled
witch all over him but when he used
his powers, they were mostly orb based.
MOLOCH
Why didn't you get out of there as soon
as you saw it was him?
HEITSI-EIBIB
I didn't know it was him!… At least not
right away. He didn't even know he
summoned a demon, he thought I was my
former self.
(beat)
When I smelled the level of his power,
I tried to take that opportunity to
sacrifice him. Then after I realized who
he was, I knew I had to kill him or else
he would worn the sisters of our plan.
MOLOCH
Why didn't he? Wyatt is a very powerful
witch but he hasn't reached the full
extent of his powers yet.
HEITSI-EIBIB
Aradia got involved.
MOLOCH
What! Aradia and Wyatt were together?
You idiot! Don't you know what could
happen if Aradia gets involved with
Wyatt and the Charmed Ones?
HEITSI-EIBIB
All our planning could be for nothing.
Lets just choose another city then.
We chose Boston so we wouldn't have
(MORE)
HEITSI-EIBIB (CONT'D)
to run into the Charmed Ones in San
Francisco. We can choose another city
in another continent!
MOLOCH
No! Boston is crucial to the plan! All
the pent up mystical energy here will
serve our plan greatly. Besides, there's
nowhere we can go now that the witches
are on to us. Okay… lets think.
(beat)
Aradia likes to work alone. It's possible
that the only way she'll be working with
the Charmed Ones is if they make their
way to her. If that's the case, the
Charmed Ones won't come into this blind.
(beat)
They'll need time to do their research and
track down Aradia to find out more
information besides what their Book of
Shadows will tell them. So we don't need
to get our horns in a knot just yet. We
still have time. Phase two is soon to
begin we just need to be ready for them.
HEITSI-EIBIB
And what if Aradia and the Charmed Ones
show up at the same time before it starts?
Moloch looks at Heitsi-Eibib with a serious facial expression.
MOLOCH
Focus right now on recharging yourself to
the fullest extent possible. I'll deal
with the rest.
Moloch shimmers out of the cavern. Heitsi-Eibib kneels down and raises his arms in the air as he closes his eyes. The shimmering red energy barrier rises up around Heitsi-Eibib's body.
CUT TO:
INT. MAGIC SCHOOL- LIBRARY- NIGHT
Wyatt puts a map and a scrying crystal down on the table. Suddenly, Chris orbs in wearing a dark blue t-shirt, dark green shorts, and pink slippers.
WYATT
Chris… what are you wearing—-are those
mom's slippers!
CHRIS
I was asleep when you called me. What
do you want?
WYATT
You were asleep? Chris, its only six
o'clock in San Francisco. What were
you doing asleep?
CHRIS
I wanted to take a nap. Sue me.
WYATT
I think mom will if you keep going on
like this.
CHRIS
What do you want?
WYATT
Well, you'll never believe the evening I
just had.
Both Wyatt and Chris sit at the table as Wyatt lays out the map.
WYATT (cont'd)
It turns out that this Heitsi-Eibib guy
is actually a demon.
CHRIS
I know. I looked in the Book of Shadows
before I left, like you asked. It said
that he was actually the spiritual force
behind the Salem Witch trials. He's been
(MORE)
CHRIS (CONT'D)
hunting witches and killing them to gain
their powers since he was a mortal.
WYATT
Hmmmm… in true warlock fashion. Well, I
summoned him.
CHRIS
Are you kidding me! Wyatt, he could've
killed you!
WYATT
Well, how was I supposed to know he was
demon?
CHRIS
By reading the book you had in your hands
before you summoned him.
WYATT
Well, I read the book afterwards. It turns
out, that he became so powerful, he turned
into a demon without dying and without going
to the demon academy. His collection of
powers over the years fed his evil until his darkness consumed him.
CHRIS
Sounds like a demon that seriously needs to
be vanquished.
WYATT
You see, that's the thing. The book you gave
me want on to tell the story of who he was
and how many victims he killed but it stops
right after the part about his attaining demonhood. No mention of a vanquish and no mention of what he's been doing since 2000 BC.
(beat)
And whenever I used my powers on him, he just shrugged them off. I finally had to use
Excalibur to get rid of him.
CHRIS
Well maybe the only thing that can vanquish
him is the power of three.
WYATT
No! I don't want you telling mom, Paige,
or Phoebe anything about this!
CHRIS
Why not! You can't hope to take on this
demon by yourself.
WYATT
That's why you're here to help me smart
guy. I know there's something here in
magic school that can help us beat Heitsi-
Eibib. Besides, we won't be alone.
CHRIS
Oh?
WYATT
Yeah. This cute little blonde witch
helped me fight off Heitsi-Eibib and
his demons.
CHRIS
Ohhhh! Now I get it! You wanna prove your
witchy manhood to this girl by helping her without getting your mommy and your aunties involved. Come on bro, your life isn't worth
this reckless stunt.
WYATT
Its not just about the girl Chris. You know
mom spent our entire life trying to give us
as much as a normal life away from magic as
she possibly could. She never liked the idea
of us going to magic school our entire life.
(beat)
But she used it as a tool to keep our magical
and worldly lives separate. If she finds out about this, she'll think I can't handle it
and will definitely start putting more
pressure on me than she should about
finishing school.
CHRIS
Of course, you're right.
WYATT
I didn't come so far as to move all the
way to Boston and get into Harvard just
so I can mess it up now. Nothing is gonna
stop me from finishing this last year at
graduate school.
CHRIS
So what exactly are you scrying for.
WYATT
Anything that can help me find the witch
that helped me earlier.
Chris gets up and walks to the bookshelf. He grabs a book.
CHRIS
Give me her name. Maybe I can find a spell
that could help us.
WYATT
Her name's Aradia.
Chris drops the book from his hands and looks at Wyatt in shock. Wyatt looks back at him in confusion.
WYATT (cont'd)
What?
CHRIS
Are you kidding me? Aradia!
WYATT
Um… no?
CHRIS
Wyatt! Aradia… the first witch, queen of the witches, the mother of all witchcraft!
WYATT
Oh! She can't be that Aradia!
CHRIS
Okay…
Chris scans through the bookshelf and then takes out a redwood colored book. He flips open the book and turns a few pages until he finds the one he wants and puts the book in front of Wyatt's face.
CHRIS (cont'd)
This her?
ANGLE: VERY GOOD PAINTING OF ARADIA'S FACE DOWN TO HER NECK
WYATT
Oh wow. That is her. What is Aradia doing
here? And isn't she immortal?
CHRIS
It says here she was born in the year 4000
BC from the Greek goddess Artemis and the
Greek god Phosphorus. She was born the day
after the Elders turned her parents into
gods to defeat the Titans.
WYATT
So she was born a mortal?
CHRIS
Yes, but the most powerful mortal on earth.
Born on the island of Cyprus from an ancient people known as the Kittim who later became
the Macedonians of ancient Greece.
(beat)
She is a direct descendent of the murderer
Cain, and she created witchcraft when she
showed the shamans and sorcerers of the
Ashkenaz people, the forefathers of the Scythians, Scolots, and Germans, how to
hone their magical skills in a different
way.
WYATT
Funny, I wonder why she seemed so mortal
to me?
CHRIS
Because she is. In 1400 BC she entered the
cycle of reincarnation and has been reborn
and dying every 85 years ever since. It says
(MORE)
CHRIS (CONT'D)
here she entered the cycle of reincarnation
to gain wisdom on how to use her powers and improve witchcraft over all.
WYATT
How does all this help us find her?
CHRIS
Hmmmm…
Chris gets up and puts his hand on the arm Wyatt's holding the scrying crystal with. He closes his eyes and begins to chant.
CHRIS (cont'd)
We combine our powers to find Aradia.
Reveal her now if she's not in Arabia.
The crystal quickly jots down on the map. Chris smirks as Wyatt puts his face close to the map to then look at him in shock.
WYATT
"Reveal her now if she's not in Arabia"?
CHRIS
Hey, it worked, didn't it? Besides, you
find another word that rhymes with Aradia.
Wyatt stands up.
WYATT
Well, we found her. Maybe now we can
learn more about what's going on.
Chris begins to sit down.
CHRIS
Good luck. If you need me I'll be in bed.
But I'll leave my cell phone on.
WYATT
Get over here!
Wyatt grabs Chris by the back of the neck and yanks him to his feet.
WYATT (cont'd)
And here…
Wyatt passes his hand over Chris in an untouched motion emitting orbs all around him. The orbs sweep throughout Chris' body changing his clothes into proper attire. Wyatt puts his hand on Chris' back and orbs Chris and himself out of magic school.
CUT TO:
EXT. BOSTON HARBOR- THE DOCKS- NIGHT
Two women run along the wooden dock in panic. The first woman, a beautiful African American with long braided hair, with the name of HENSI, the sister of Heitsi-Eibib. The second woman is a pretty red head white girl named ALEXANDRA, who is Hensi's partner in the coven they have together.
Wyatt and Chris orb onto the dock and both women run into them almost knocking them down.
ALEXANDRA
Whitelighters, you have to help us!
An electrical ball jets past them. They look to see four demons running up to them hurtling fire and electrical balls. Wyatt and Chris direct the girls to a nearby pile of huge wooden crates to hide behind. Hensi gets hit by several fire and electrical balls in her back. She gets up and makes her way behind the crates. The demons continue their attack.
CHRIS
I think we need a distraction!
WYATT
I'm open to suggestions.
CHRIS
How about some pyrotechnics?
Wyatt closes his eyes in concentration. Within the middle of the group of demons, a huge pillar if white and light blue fire explodes, knocking all of the demons to the ground. Chris gets up and with his telekinesis knocks them all every which way slamming them into crates and garbage cans. Wyatt gets up and looks at all of them and they all combust into a huge pillar of light blue fire before they explode.
Hensi and Alexandra come out of hiding.
WYATT
Where's Aradia?
HENSI
Fighting off some demons further up
the dock.
WYATT
Take me to her.
CUT TO:
EXT. FURTHER UP THE DOCK
Aradia fights off two demons in hand-to-hand combat. She kicks a demon in his face knocking him out. The next demon delivers two punches to Aradia but she catches both of his hands, gives him a head butt, knees him in the groin, hits him three times in the chest with the tips of her sais, then backhands him across the face knocking him down.
The next demon swings a punch to Aradia from behind but she quickly dunks, runs behind him, blocks two backward motion punches the demon delivers to her, she kicks him in the face, turns him around, slices his face, and plunges her sai into his chest. The demon screams as he explodes in an energetic pop.
As Wyatt, Chris, Hensi, and Alexandra run up to Aradia, Aradia shoots the two knocked out demons with a thick white electrical pulse and their bodies pop in an electrical explosion. She looks at Wyatt.
ARADIA
What are you doing here?
WYATT
I told you before, I'm here to help.
ARADIA
I don't have time to have you and your…
sidekick, tag along with me. You're gonna
get yourselves killed.
CHRIS
I'm no one's sidekick. I'm his brother,
Chris.
ARADIA
Charmed, I'm sure—-Listen! You don't know
what you're getting yourselves into. You
should go, now. If Heitsi-Eibib were to
get his hands and such two witches like yourselves, you could end up aiding in
his collection of ultimate power.
WYATT
I'm not leaving.
Suddenly, the ground starts to tremble lightly. Then, a pack of ten demons shimmers and flames into appearance on the dock. Everyone looks up to see a fiery portal with crackling yellow electricity open up at least thirteen feet above their heads. A caped figure leaps out of the portal.
ANGLE: BLACK SHOES LANDING ON THE GROUND
PAN UP the figure who's wearing a black suit with a red outlined black cape, a red dress shirt underneath with a black tie. Almost exactly like the suits worn by the four horsemen of the apocalypse. Its face and hands are bronze colored with two small horns popping out of his forehead, a devilish diamond shaped black goatee, with a long spike tipped tail. This is MOLOCH'S DEMON FORM.
END OF ACT THREE
ACT FOUREXT. THE DOCK- FACE OFF
MOLOCH
I don't know who or what you witches are,
but these matters are no business of
yours. Step aside, or be destroyed.
HENSI
Moloch! Leave this place and take your
demon horde with you!
MOLOCH
You're so lucky that you're a ghost. If
you were still alive, Heitsi-Eibib would
throw you alive into a crocodile pit.
WYATT
That's why you didn't die from the energy strikes? You're a ghost?
MOLOCH
Correct, witch. To think that the sister of Heitsi-Eibib could be such a pest.
CHRIS
Well, this just got a lot more interesting.
HENSI
I would plunge an athamae into his heart
myself if I thought that would end his mad
search for power!
MOLOCH
It's not just your brother's search for
power. The entire underworld has their
resources invested in Heitsi-Eibib's
campaign. We refuse to wallow in fire and
slime deep within the earth. It's time for
evil to raise up and choke the life out of
this world.
WYATT
Alright, I'm done listening to this crap.
Wyatt puts up both of his hands and emits his light blue energy barrier to sweep toward Moloch and his pack of demons. Moloch shifts into spirit form as the barrier approaches. As the barrier makes contact with the demons, they all explode. Moloch shifts back into flesh form.
MOLOCH
Now do you see what you've done. You've
wild them up.
Moloch stretches out his hand and Hensi floats up into the air. He flings his finger and she's shot in an upper backwards motion into the air. Hensi flames up as she speeds into the night sky until she's out of sight.
CHRIS
Wow! I've never seen anybody do that to
a ghost before!
WYATT
He's definitely not your ordinary demon.
MOLOCH
Come Alexandra. Your fate awaits.
ARADIA
It's gonna have to wait longer, cause
she's not going anywhere.
Moloch stomps his foot on the ground hard to produce an earthquake. Everyone falls on the ground but Aradia levitates into the air and glides toward Moloch with her fists pointed outward. Moloch shoots an orange energy pulse at her and she falls hurtling to the ground cracking it upon impact. Moloch flings his hand and floats Alexandra right to his hands.
MOLOCH
Surrender witch. It'll only make things
easier.
Suddenly, lightning flashes with the clap of thunder. They look up to see navy blue clouds with glowing white thunderbolts approaching their spot. More clouds are produced as it gets closer. Surges of several white thunderbolts clash together as a person materializes. Its professor Josephus. Better known in this form as SAMHEIN THE SOURCE OF ALL MAGIC.
Aradia, Chris, and Wyatt get up with Wyatt looking on in wide-eyed shock.
WYATT
Professor Josephus?
SAMHEIN
These witches are under my protection!
Depart!
Moloch throws Alexandra on the floor.
MOLOCH
I'm not so easily detoured.
Moloch shoots his orange energy pulse but it just clashes against the white thunderbolts in the clouds. He then produces fire around Samhein and the fire passes through Samhein but it does burn him.
MOLOCH (cont'd)
I am the lord of sacrifices! I'll get you
on my spiritual alter and have your powers
for my own!
Moloch stretches out his hand to pull Samhein toward him but he ends up getting yanked into the air and getting caught in the hands of Samhein.
SAMHEIN
Your evil will lead to your destruction. So
go and tell Heitsi-Eibib to give up his evil plans, so that you all may live to see another day.
Samhein shocks Moloch with thunderbolts and Moloch is thrown into the air screaming with the electrical currents sending him out of sight. Everyone stays looking up at Samhein in shock. But Samhein shakes his head in exhaustion as he slowly floats to the ground and his powers subside. Wyatt and Chris run to him and help him to his feet.
WYATT
Professor Josephus, what are you doing
here? And who are you?
ARADIA
His name is Samhein.
ALEXANDRA
The Source of All Magic!
ARADIA
That's him.
CHRIS
I think we should get out of here before
more demons show up.
WYATT
Good idea Chris. Everyone, grab on.
Aradia puts her hand on Chris' shoulder and Alexandra grabs onto Wyatt's arm. They all orb out.
CUT TO:
INT. THE UNDERWORLD
Heitsi-Eibib talks to two demons. Suddenly, they hear faint screaming. As the screaming gets closer and louder, Moloch falls on the ground in front of them in an electrical burst. He gets up with an angry snarl.
MOLOCH
Leave us!
The two demons shimmer away from Heitsi-Eibib's side.
HEITSI-EIBIB
(smirking)
Problems?
MOLOCH
Don't toy with me! We need to step up
our game, now!
HEITSI-EIBIB
Why? What happened?
MOLOCH
Aradia and Wyatt have extra help. They
were there protecting Alexandra and Hensi.
HEITSI-EIBIB
What kind of help?
MOLOCH
Another powerful witch, most likely from
the Charmed line, and a being of immense
power that even I couldn't stop.
HEITSI-EIBIB
Where is Alexandra?
MOLOCH
With them.
HEITSI-EIBIB
I'll take care of it. Quick and fast.
Heitsi-Eibib disappears.

Wyatt holds his hands over Samhein's chest healing him with glowing gold energy. Alexandra sits in a love seat while Chris and Aradia stand around the furniture.
SAMHEIN
That's better Wyatt, thank you.
Wyatt retracts his hands and has a seat on the sofa.
WYATT
I must say professor, I'm a little
shocked to see you here. I had no idea
you were a magical being.
SAMHEIN
Well I knew full well who you were from
the moment I saw your name on my attendance roster. And I'm glad to see you keep good
company.
ARADIA
I'm not his company. We just… ran into each other.
SAMHEIN
In any case, it is good to see you again
Aradia. I just wish it were under better circumstances.
CHRIS
You two know each other?
ARADIA
Oh yeah. We've met a couple of times here
and there through out the centuries. It's
been 800 years since I saw him last.
WYATT
It was no accident I got Heitsi-Eibib's name
in your class. You planted that card my hand,
didn't you?
SAMHEIN
I must admit that I did play a part in pulling you into these events. But destiny always has
its own way. If you weren't supposed to be a
part of this, you wouldn't be involved.
CHRIS
Who are you exactly? As far as I knew, Samhein was the ancient version of Halloween.
SAMHEIN
It is, I'm just the person it was named after.
ARADIA
He's the source of all magic. He can't
control someone else's powers but as the
source of all magic, he maintains the order
(MORE)
ARADIA (CONT'D)
and balance of magic through the magical
realms, so that the mystical energies don't collide with everything in its path and
destroy us all.
SAMHEIN
I was born to a dying people known as the Gomerites in present day western Germany
in the year 1300 BC. I noticed that my
people practiced a growing magical art
known as witchcraft.
(beat)
I took it upon myself to drain more power
out of the craft by specializing in animal
and spiritual sacrifices to what later
became known as the Celtic gods. In time,
my people became known as the Celts and
named their New Years festival after me.
ARADIA
Samhein never died but ascended into a
magical being that allowed him to guard
magic as the source of all magic. But the
Celts who saw his transformation perverted
the festival of Samhein by sacrificing
humans.
SAMHEIN
I am still human. As a result, I must
hibernate for 30 years every two hundred
years. I recently awoke from my last
hibernation two months ago. That is why
I'm still weak. I awoke and felt the
impression of Heitsi-Eibib's darkness.
I knew that I had to do whatever it took
to stop him.
CHRIS
And now here we are.
WYATT
So what can we do to stop him?
ALEXANDRA
By protecting me.
WYATT
Why is Heitsi-Eibib after you?
ALEXANDRA
Because my power is fire.
WYATT
Huh?
CHRIS
There aren't very many witches who wield
the power of fire. You must be pretty
powerful.
ARADIA
It's not just that. At sunrise, the autumnal equinox will begin. Heitsi-Eibib already
has four other witches that wield the
power of earth, wind, water, and metallic manipulation.
(beat)
When he sacrifices them at sunrise, he'll be
able to reap ultimate power.
CHRIS
No demon can access the power of the autumnal equinox. It'll destroy them no matter how powerful they are.
ARADIA
Normally, yes. But Heitsi-Eibib has spent
5000 years killing witches an absorbing
their powers. Not only does a huge amount
of wiccan powers flow through him, but they
have enhanced his own demonic powers as well. Believe me, he's an enormous threat.
WYATT
How enormous?
SAMHEIN
He's already gained enough powers over the
years to make him stronger than the Source
of All Evil. If he's able to access the
power of the equinox, ultimate power will
be his. If he chooses to go after the throne
(MORE)
SAMHEIN (CONT'D)
of the Source of All Evil, he'll become
the most powerful god this world has
ever seen.
CHRIS
Then clearly the best course of action
is to take Alexandra to a safe place until
the equinox is over. Maybe we can orb her
to a cavern deep within the earth and
protect that perimeter with a web of
fairy magic.
Suddenly, a huge circular bright red energy barrier quickly forms in the center of the room and bursts shocking everyone and knocking them to the floor. Heitsi-Eibib shimmers in and grabs Alexandra by her neck. They all slowly get up. Heitsi-Eibib squeezes his grip around her neck and holds his bone dagger at her face.
HEITSI-EIBIB
One move, and she gets it!
ARADIA
You don't really expect us to believe you'd
harm a valuable sacrifice like her do you?
HEITSI-EIBIB
No. But I do know that your good nature will
not allow you to act recklessly since you
know that I'm more capable of killing her
just to keep you away than you are of letting
her die just to get at me!
Everyone remains still.
HEITSI-EIBIB (cont'd)
Samhein, after all these centuries, we finally meet. I've heard a lot about you.
SAMHEIN
And I you.
HEITSI-EIBIB
It's a shame you only come out to handle the
big guns. The forces of good would do well to have you fighting demons on a regular basis.
SAMHEIN
Yeah well, I've been considering stepping
up my game this time around. You roaches
have been multiplying a lot lately.
HEITSI-EIBIB
I'm afraid you're a little too late for
that. I'm taking what belongs to me now,
and nobody better get in my way! If you
do, well… let's just say its kill or be
killed now.
Heitsi-Eibib shimmers out with Alexandra.
CHRIS
What do we do now?
WYATT
The only thing we can do… we go after them.
END OF ACT FOUR
ACT FIVE
INT. LIVING ROOM- COTTAGE
CHRIS
How can we find him?
WYATT
Aradia can find him like she did before.
I doubt they'd be in the underworld with
sunrise coming in twenty minutes.
ARADIA
Unlikely. Heitsi-Eibib undoubtedly blessed
the area with talismans to block us from
finding him.
SAMHEIN
I believe I can help with that.
Samhein holds out his hand and in a burst of glowing white energy, a long wooden staff appears in his hand. The top of the staff has a wooden totem of a man with a crystal apple seen inside of the totem.
SAMHEIN (cont'd)
My wand can help you screen out the dark
energy and find Heitsi-Eibib with your
mind sweeping powers.
CHRIS
That's a pretty big wand.
SAMHEIN
I also use it as a fighting staff. Aradia…
Aradia grabs the wand and closes her eyes. She concentrates for a moment then snaps her eyes open with the answer.
ARADIA
He's in Boston Public Gardens!
WYATT
Makes sense. As fall begins, the energy
flow of natures bloom begins to decrease.
He can absorb that energy as the equinox
(MORE)
WYATT (CONT'D)
approaches so he can access the power
more easily.
CHRIS
Boston Gardens is only five minutes from
here we can walk from here and sneak into
their ritual site.
SAMHEIN
With the concentration of demonic activity
I'm sensing, it'll take us time to get past
the guards regardless. We might be too late.
WYATT
What do you suggest?
SAMHEIN
I will teleport us directly to their alter
scene.
WYATT
Are you strong enough for that?
SAMHEIN
Slightly. When we get there, I'll have to
fight hand to hand. But there's no other
way.
CHRIS
I don't understand. Why can't we just orb
over there?
SAMHEIN
In the same way that only orbs can take us
to the above realm of the elders, only dark
magic can get us into their site. But my
magic is raw enough to get us through.
ARADIA
Then we should go, now, before time runs out.
Samhein's body blinks with glowing white energy as he levitates up into the air. White bolts of electrical current swarm through out his body. Electricity shoots out from all points of his body as Wyatt, Chris, and Aradia become engulfed in the electricity. As Samhein becomes engulfed in electricity, they all shoot up into the air and vanish.
CUT TO:
EXT. BOSTON PUBLIC GARDENS- NIGHT- NEAR SUNRISE
Several torches are lit and grouped together to form a pentagram. Gray crystals are set around the whole outside edge of the pentagram. Inside each star point is a sacrificial altar with a witch chained up on it, Alexandra being one of them. Moloch walks out and addresses the thirty-five demons guarding the area.
MOLOCH
Sunrise is almost here. Heitsi-Eibib will
not make an appearance before that time.
You know what to do incase our enemies
arrive. Destroy them at all costs!
A huge pillar of glowing white electrical current strikes the ground from above, a few yards away from the sacrificial area. As it stands there flowing in an upward current, it shoots out several electrical bolts that hit, electrocute, and explode twelve demons. The electrical pillar shrinks until it divides and drains from Samhein's body revealing three other glowing electrical bodies. Samhein slowly falls to the ground in a gasp of air as the electricity dissipates and Wyatt, Aradia, and Chris are revealed.
ALEXANDRA
HELP!
MOLOCH
Kill them all!
CHRIS
Let it rip guys.
Wyatt shoots his orb energy ball at the ground near Moloch that breaks up the group of demons clustered around him. Aradia levitates into the air but as she gets close to one them, he shoots a wide scale yellow energy pulse her way. It knocks her back a few feet but she continues to levitate forward in the air toward a different target. Wyatt shoots the nearest demon with his glowing orb pulse from his eyes and vaporizes the demon on the spot.
A demon comes shooting five energy balls at Chris. Chris deflects four of them with his telekinetic powers, holds one in mid air while he knocks that demon four feet back, and vanquishes it with its own energy ball. As a demon levitates into the air to shoot Chris with fireballs forming in each of its hands, Wyatt explodes it with an orb energy ball. Wyatt then vaporizes a quickly approaching demon with his orb eye beam.
WYATT
Try to free the witches!
Aradia flows through the air, grabs a levitating demon by the foot, swings it around three times, letting it go and slamming it up against a nearby tree, then shoots it with her green energy pulse, vanquishing it. Samhein gets up and uses his staff to support his body as he hops up and kicks an approaching demon in the chest knocking it to the ground. He then shoots a glowing beam with electrical pulses from the totem on his staff and vaporizes the demon. Another demon traps Aradia in midair within a gray energy shell but Aradia's body glows yellow as she breaks out of the energy shell and kicks the demon so hard in the face that his head comes off and its body explodes before the head hits the ground.
Samhein uses his staff to muster a back flip to avoid the energy strike of a tall demon. As he lands he shoots an electrical pulse out of the totem of his staff and vanquishes a quickly approaching demon. Chris flings the demon that tried to attack Samhein up against a rock face. He then shoots the rock face so that some big rocks can fall on the demon. The demon bursts into flames.
Moloch approaches Wyatt who just vanquished two demons with his orb energy balls. But Chris jumps on Moloch's back from behind.
CHRIS
Try it buddy, and I'll try it on you!
With a slight turn, Moloch elbows Chris in the stomach and knocks him off his back sending up into the air. Samhein uses his wand to slowly bring Chris to the ground next to him. Aradia quickly glides down and stands in front of Moloch.
MOLOCH
Out of my way witch!
ARADIA
You get outta mine.
She shoots him with a huge burst of her energy pulse and sends him flying back eight feet knocking him to the ground. Wyatt shoots his blue energy barrier and explodes four demons. As a demon shimmers behind Aradia with a fire ball in his hand, Samhein hits the demon in its stomach then face with his staff, knocks the fire ball in the air, sweeps the demon off its feet with the staff, and strikes the demon on the head with his staff. The fireball comes flying down and vanquishes the demon. Wyatt then vaporizes an approaching demon with his orb eye beam.
Chris punches the next demon in his stomach, jabs him in the face, kicks him in the groin, and shoots him four feet back. The demon bursts into flames. Aradia backhands a demon in its face, pushes it back, squats down to sweep it off the ground with her leg, and shoots it with her green energy pulse, vanquishing it. A demon goes running to Samhein but he catches its hands with his staff, falls back, and flips it over with his leg. Samhein then semi-flips up straight, and spins around to deliver a jaw-snapping sidekick to its face. He then shoots an electrical pulse from his staff to vanquish it. Wyatt then kills two approaching demons with his orb balls.
CHRIS
Is that all of them?
WYATT
There's still one more we need to get.
Wyatt points front and all eyes fall on Heitsi-Eibib who is standing in the center of the pentagram.
ARADIA
Heitsi-Eibib!
As Aradia runs toward Heitsi-Eibib, the gray crystals along the pentagram's outer edge glow and shock her with dark gray and black energy beams. She falls backward to the ground.
SAMHEIN
He's protected altars around a barrier of
black crystals.
HEITSI-EIBIB
Foolish witches! I wasn't born yesterday.
WYATT
We still have time to stop you!
Heitsi-Eibib looks up at the sky and sees the light of the sun approaching.
HEITSI-EIBIB
You've just run out of time, Charmed One.
Heitsi-Eibib's eyes glow red.
HEITSI-EIBIB (cont'd)
With the blood of Cush, Mizraim, and Put,
the sacred forefathers of Africa
flowing through my veins; I call upon the
ancient god Nergal, who was the first to introduce magic to the world!
Samhein's body swarms with glowing white currents of electricity as he levitates up into the air.
SAMHEIN
Halt! I, the Source of All Magic, command
you!
HEITSI-EIBIB
Connect me with the powers of the equinox
and make ultimate power, mine!
The sun rises and shoots a glowing beam of yellow sunlight on Heitsi-Eibib. Red electricity flows out of his body and kills all five of the witches. The witches disintegrate into glowing white mists of energy that enter into the body of Heitsi-Eibib. A huge think pillar of glowing orange and yellow crackling energy shoots up from the ground high into the air completely covering Heitsi-Eibib.
Samhein floats forward and forms a huge electrical hand with the currents flowing around his body. The hand breaks the black crystal energy barrier and reaches inside the orange and yellow energy pillar to grab Heitsi-Eibib.
HEITSI-EIBIB
You're too late!
Heitsi-Eibib turns the white electricity red and electrocutes Samhein heavily before he explodes him away. Heitsi-Eibib fly's back but Aradia levitates in the air to catch him. She brings him down in her arms.
SAMHEIN
I wasn't strong enough yet to block the
magic from absorbing into his body.
(beat)
Now begins his process of reaping ultimate
power. By connecting with the equinox, Heitsi-Eibib will become one with raw mystical energy.
Heitsi-Eibib grows in size and shoots a thick crackling red energy pulse from his eyes at the four witches. Wyatt puts up his shield around everyone to protect them from the beam.
WYATT
You mean he can manipulate all magic's?
SAMHEIN
I mean that now pure undiluted magic is now
his to control.
ANGLE: HEITSI-EIBIB GETTING BIGGER
