Author's note 2: Four questions. 1: Do you want me to do a complete season Of 22 episodes? Of course the last one will be my take on the finale with Zoronda & Jakey. 2: Do you want me to do a complete season, or a hyphenated season? There will be a Zoronda storyline I am going to build along the way before I get to the finale. 3: When I write what would have been my season 2 premiere concluding the finale episode, do you want me to either a: Have Miley read the unaired episode that will never air as Jake commits to doing movies and the series gets canceled, or b: Do you want a complete season 2 with one more Hanna Montana outside the real series storyline added in? 4: If I deviate from Hanna Montana story lines past would you want me to continue Zoronda as a recurring character, or would you want me to find a creative way to keep her from the Slayer kind of like how Joss Whedon kept Buffy and Angel apart ruining the later seasons. But I really mean no disrespect as here is the mandatory disclaimer. Please do not sue me Hanna Montana, Buffy and your friends. I do not own any of the characters except possibly some of my own made up characters and they are still based on those shows anyway. I don't make anything out of this monetarily. So please have mercy and don't sue or slay me.
Chapter/Episode 2- Halloween Night
Damn it where are they? They were supposed to have come back with the Slayer's head by now. I was so hoping to drink a Corona out of his skull. Damn them. What were their names again. Umm...gee Overlord, sir their named...ummm you tell him...Gee they were umm. Oh we don't know. I mean you see one dead guy you've seen them all huh master? Hahahahha! I'm not laughing as he slashes their heads off with his sword. Now pull yourselves together and get out of my sight. You disgust me!
--Cue in the theme music and commercial break--
Damn him. I can sense that Slayer is still alive. We have to stop him. He is ruining everything. He is the only thing standing in the way of my plans. We must get him quickly. What is this? Master sir this is called a Halloween Dance. So? Well it's where we believe the Slayer's school is. So we thought we could attack the school and put an end to the Slayer once and for all. Well, fine, but I still want my human killings to go on as planned, maybe we can flush out this Slayer before we even get to this stupid dance on October...
31st? Yeah that will be the next date idea for me after I take Zoe to the movies later tonight. I just got to get to school first as he slips the card into his jacket pocket and slides his skateboard to a halt right next to the school. Hey Zac how you doing buddy? Never mind that how'd it go yesterday. What do you mean? Oh, you know what I mean how'd it go with the date? Oh, that well it was definitely the most fun and exciting night of my life. Yo, you have to tell me details, umm later I have to do something first as Jakey runs over to Leslie's office.
So did he spill on the details Iris asks as she slides next to Zac with a slight touch to his shoulder. Oh, umm Iris I didn't see you there. No, he didn't but if you looked into our Jakey's eyes, they were sparkling with happiness. I know he did good. Well, I'm glad at least somebody is getting lucky around here she tries to lay out struggling to fight the sarcasm attempting to drift off her statement as she avoids Zac's eyes and scurries off to class.
Jakey walks into Leslie's office. So are you finished wrecking my office or did you come to finish the job? You know I didn't...I know Jakey. What you did was a very brave and intelligent thing, well except for that misspelling of the word "signing" on the blackboard. I may need to keep you after class longer next time. Oh, damn it, Jakey hisses. But umm Professor...umm Dude, ummm how did? How did I know you were walking through that door. Well, like I told you I am your watcher. I always know where you are. Always. You better keep those leery peepers off of my girl. No, I don't mean that way Jakey. It's just I can sense you the same way, you can sense the Zombies.
Yes about that...so you want me to continue your full training I gather. Actually no. Look, I apologize for damaging your office. And I guess leaving that message in your book probably saved my life, but I didn't ask for this. I don't want any part of this. I have a normal somewhat wonderful life. I have a girl I think I'm falling in love with. I have a promising basketball scholarship I'm trying to earn. And yes I know I'm going to have to listen to you yap about Slayers and European history after school, but that doesn't mean I'm going to be doing this Superhero crap either. I mean damn it, if it's so bad why can't you call the police or something? You mean to tell me after fighting them you think the police are going to be of some help. How many more people have to die Jakey? Look at this paper as he slams the front page with the 7th missing student from San Diego High. Hey I read that page, that had nothing to do with Zombies. Of course it did Jakey don't be so naive. Us watchers know the real reason behind the missing students and whether you want to be the Slayer or not you know the reason too and more students may die, but your the one who is going to have to live with it, knowing you could have done something to stop it. Whatever Pops as Jakey turns and slams the door shut.
He's fuming mad and then there she is again. His beautiful angel. Zoe, the most perfect girl he had ever seen. He walks up to her and there is Shannon cutting him off at the pass. What do you want Superstar? Oh, umm hi a Shannon I believe I want to talk to Zoe over there. Oh, you will but first you have to get through her best friend. OK, what do you want? Tickets, for my boyfriend and you open up the guys locker room for me at the end of the next game. Oh come on Shannon. And then Zoe sticks her head underneath Shannon's arms. Hey don't I get a say in this as she passes her friend by. Hi. Oh, umm Hi, Jakey replies. Umm, hi.. Hi, again their beautiful. Either you two are completely in love or this writers strike really sucks! Shannon huffs and leaves them alone.
So, umm we're on for tonight, right Zoe? S-sure. You know your cute when your not so sure. S-sure. You have anything else to say Zoe? S-sure. And then he kisses her and then the bell rang indicating it was time to go back to class. --Ring-- Wow! Wow is right baby. Well catch you later Jakey. She leaves and he whispers. Yeah you might have to catch me later because I really am falling. Falling in love with you.
So Jakey in the love zone totally zones out of Leslie's class and pretty soon is back in his stupid, stupid after school session, with his watcher.
So Jakey, even though you probably don't want to hear any more about this Slayer business. I must continue with your education. You don't understand how serious this is. We are relatively close to Death Valley. This is the source of the Zombie Kingdom. This is Kane's (read episode 1 for more on him) capital city and where he plans and launches his major attacks. I mean our time here is so precious. He still hasn't gathered all of his forces together. He still is in his early stages. I can not stress enough how important it would be for you to learn this stuff as quickly as possible and maybe together we could eliminate him as a threat together. Gee Leslie I do have one question? What is it? We do only have 10 more minutes right? Yes Jakey your right. And we're going to use every second of it in your education.
The scythes you took last night are yours. Here is some holy water. Here is an axe. Here is some rope for those moving undead body parts. Look Jakey. I have fought the Zombies before, but it takes a lot of watchers just to barely hold are own with only a few Zombies. We can't do it without you. I have more weapons at home, but you still need training with these things first. I had high hopes for you. But, I need to get you to understand two more things before I let you out. I hear the bell ringing. It's my time to go, but I humor Leslie anyway. Maybe something a little less dweeby will come out of his mouth this time. What I need you to know is that no matter what you do. Whether you choose to answer the call of your destiny or not, you will probably be dragged into this eventually. I believe the Zombie Overlord Kane either knows who you are or is trying to find you. He's fought your Grandfather before and he probably might have a suspicion that Jakey from the line of Autumn might be the next Slayer. This means everyone in your life could be in danger. Even if you want to be selfish for yourself, you might be jeopardizing the lives of your friends too. I get kind of angry and am leaving slowly. I turn away. You might not just jeopardize your loved ones, but you may end up being the Slayer anyway, but instead of choosing to fight him when he is at his weakest, you'll end up fighting him at his strongest. Please don't leave. Please don't...Slam! Yeah, my father told me it never is that easy breaking in a new Slayer. Never!
--Commercial--
So Jakey getting ready to go all goth on us or are you planning on doing some mountain climbing, Iris teases as Jakey walks out the School door. So, I guess you and Zac trade places on throwing barbs at me after I leave my remedial history class. Yeah, I guess, something like that, now stop stalling and answer the question already Paul Bunyan! Who? Jakey searches for an explanation in his head. Why can't he just tell her. But for some reason he can't seem to spit it out so he grasps for some reason and just blurts the first thing that comes into his head. Well, you know tomorrow is Halloween and I was just trying to gather some things I might incorporate into my costume. As, what Jakey a Spelunker? No, how about Jakey a--a Slayer, a Vampire Slayer, that's it! You, know Jakey us girls finally get a hero named of all things Buffy and your going to steal that from us too? Well, come on we're all equal now, there's nothing you girls can do that us guys can't do as well. Except school work Iris interjects as she hands him a copy of her notes for their classes together. Thank you Iris your the best as he takes her notes in his hand and gives her a hug. Iris, blushes. Hey, I might have a thing for Zac, but that doesn't make Jakey any less handsome as she skips off. Zac grimaces with a slight twinge of jealousy as he watches from a far.
Once again I head to that familiar door of Zoe Meadows and I just can't believe it. The prettiest girl in school is my girlfriend and I just feel ourselves getting closer all of the time. I know she's the one. Somehow, I just know it. I get ready to knock and the door opens and I nearly have a heart attack as I nearly clocked her in the face, but thank goodness for Zombie slayer like reflexes I manage to move my hand to the side and embrace her...mom? Whoops! Sorry, their Mrs. Meadows, I was expecting Zoe, heh, heh, heh. Right she says as she slides Jakey's hand off of her neck. So, you do know we have a curfew that is mandatory and you have to bring her back in one piece. Oh, as if my life depends on it Mrs. Meadows I swear it. Then Zoe slides past her mom and gives me a hug. I missed you Jakey. I missed you too Zoe. We hug tightly together like we were meant to be attached and being separate was the unnatural part. We were meant to be together. I was so in love. But why did I have that same creepy funny feeling again like I was being watched. It's got to be nothing I tell myself. Just nerves.
I tried to get her to see George Romero's Diary of the Dead (for some strange reason this Zombie thing is getting into my skin somehow). And she tried to get me to see the Hanna Montana concert movie, but we settled instead for Juno. It was a good choice. And we both laughed and had a great time. I walked her home and even though I still had that funny feeling creeping up at me once and a while my love for Zoe just kept a veil over my misgivings. So babe, did you have as good a time as I did? Oh, you couldn't possibly have had a good a time as I did. Try me Zoe? Anytime there tiger. And we kiss a long deep all consuming kiss. We kiss like if the world should end now it would end on our terms. We're so happy. So, so happy. I tell her about the dance tomorrow and we once again have another date. A date with destiny.
So do we go after them now? No, the Master's plan was to do it at their so called Halloween dance. We will deliver the payback for our two beheaded brethren who the master is currently working on reconstituting. It's fiendish really. He doesn't just want to kill the Slayer. But maybe we'll start with other people in his life, or should we say death. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!
My next day is a total blur. I remember nodding my head at Iris and Zac's smiling faces and agreeing to who knows what, but I didn't care. I was in love with a girl named Zoe Meadows. I was so happy. We would stare at each other during lunch. We didn't have any classes together so we just had to give each other meaningful soul sucking looks every chance we could get. She was going to go to the dance as a cheerleader and yes I would be a Vampire slayer. Kind of ironic. I mean she is a cheerleader and I kind of am a slayer sort of. But not if I can help it.
Once again I pick her up. I reassure her wonderful parents that nothing's going to happen to their little girl. I love her and I promise I'll bring her back. Everything will be fine. And then I got that feeling again only stronger. Way, way stronger. Like I felt a thousand needles going through my legs. Ahhhhh! Jakey is everything okay? Um, yes, I'm fine Zoey. Oh, I know your fine, from where I'm standing Jakey as she hugs my arm to her as we walk down to school.
Yes, it's time. We are gathering. We follow the Master's plan. First we'll only send about 4 zombies in and that should be enough to get the job done, but if not we have 16 Zombies waiting for a second wave. Yes, San Diego High will be a Zombie High right before they even know it! And then there is one more little twist and the Slayer won't even see it coming Hahahahahahahaha!
Hey Zachary, how you doing? Zac stood their dateless once again along with Iris. I'm doing fine. By the way do you remember anything me and Iris were talking to you about yesterday? Sure I do buddy. We should talk some more some time. You think he heard us talking about how they found the clothes of all 7 missing students in our school? Somebody either kidnapped or killed them. It's horrible Iris. Yeah, I know. I don't think he would have been smiling like that..umm Zachary if he heard us. I think the only thing in his head right now is that pretty girl, hanging onto his arm. Yeah where do I get one of those. Owww! Hey, what am I chopped liver. Hey, Iris in case you missed this we're both without a date here. Yeah well maybe we could...ummm...I don't know that's kind of stupid. What is it Iris? It's just...Oh, lookee here my two least favorite dweebs without a date at the Halloween dance. Oh, let me guess your costumes. Loser number 1 and Loser number 2. Actually you two deserve some credit, your costume are the most realistic one's of all. Hahahaha! The irritating Shannon Ashley walks away in her jungle outfit with Kyle Alexander the Quarterback for our San Diego Sharks football team. Oooh, I hate her so much! Relax, it's only fitting that a Shark is dating a piranha! Yeah it's only fitting and then Zac grabs me along my back and turns me toward him. Want to dance? I stand there stunned. I know we're great friends and all, but I don't see why we still can't have a good time. I feel a slight sigh with disappointment at the just being friends part, and then Iris goes what the heck it's better than nothing as we give each other a twirl on the dance floor.
Zoe and Jakey twirl together. Jakey is so in love as is Zoe and then Jakey loses his concentration for just a second noticing his two best friends Zacky and Iris dancing and he feels his already penetrating smile growing with warmth. Hey, what's up Jakey she giggles. Oh, nothing just watching my stupid friends in there falling in love without even knowing it. Oh, so falling in love is stupid now, huh? No, that's not what I mean. Oh, enlighten me Jakey. It's the opposite Zoe, I've never felt this way about anybody, but you. And I would love for my two friends over there to get to that same place with each other. Awww, Jakey, your so sweet. I'm starting to see why you do hang with them. Oh, what's that supposed to mean? Nothing Jakey as she squeezes him tight. I'm just saying your such a great guy and they must be pretty great themselves. Aww, you know I love you don't you Zoe? Oh, I'm really beginning to get that feeling Jakey. My, wonderful, wonderful Jakey! Yes, life was perfect and then...Crash...More brains! Argggh! Chomp! Ahhh!
--Commercial break--
I stand there gaping at the slaughter as four Zombies start biting into 3 students and one teacher. Everybody is just running for the exits as I hold tightly to Zoe. She's trying to get me to run too and she is prodding me along, but something is slowing me down. It's like I know I need to be here and make a difference. But I don't want Zoe to get hurt, so we guide each other away slowly as a couple more students fall and then I see Leslie starting to fight them. For a half a second it elicits a slight chuckle in me if this situation wasn't so horrible. My frown returns. I leave the gymnasium with my last view of Leslie's horror stricken face as the Zombie's slowly drive him back. I can't even look into his eyes as I cradle Zoe to me and rush away.
Hahahaha! Stupid Slayer ran away and is leaving those students to our whim. He is more like a chicken Slayer. We're going to kill his fellow classmates and then we'll kill him last. Yeah, though watching that coward run away, makes you wonder what the big deal is. As they continue to fight. Leslie slings his boomerang. He ducks punches and kicks and tries his best but his blows only move the frenzied zombie demons back a little only for them to regroup and charge forward. They were landing a lot more blows then he was and he knew he couldn't hold out much longer. So this is the fate of a Watcher for his Slayer charge to watch his watcher die. Well at least I'll have no regrets as I swing my sword and finally manage to get one head to roll. Not too bad, only 3 to one now as I duck the walking body parts. Alright 3 and 1/2 to one fine. I'll concede the point.
Jakey is running now with Zoe's hand grasping in his and then he stops as he watches the students continuing. Jakey, umm why are we stopping? Something isn't right Zoe? Something isn't right Zoe? She retorts back at him. Our classmates are being eaten by Zombies and you think something isn't right? No, that's not what I mean Zoe. Well, what then? It's, hard to explain Zoe, but you see I'm kind of a Slayer. Oh, you and your stupid costume! No, I mean I am the Slayer. This isn't a costume Zoe. Oh sure like this Axe is..ouch. You brought a real Axe to school? Well it was either that or flowers. I thought I'd be different. She sighs well let's go. No! Why not? There are Zombies that way. What? How, do you know that? I can sense them. Alright fine she huffs. How about that way? Nope. Let me guess Zombies again. Is there anywhere there aren't Zombies. No. So what we wait here and get slaughtered then huh, Jakey, my hero with a side order of sarcasm! Take me home already Jakey! Alright we're gonna go this way, I don't sense as many that way. And then the Zombies close in passing by a running Iris and Zac. Passing by Shanon and Kyle and many of the other classmates as they all converge on Jakey and Zoe. Great, now all the Zombies seem to be going after us. What did you do Jakey? Why is this happening to us?
I promise I'm going to keep you safe. And then they come and he hands Zoe his Axe, here hold this. Please cut off their heads if they approach. Zoe holds it in her hand like she's holding a snake. Ewww, gross, I can't do it Jakey! He holds her by her arms you have to babe. I'm going to try to keep them from getting to you but just in case. I--I lov...and then the Zombies yank me away. I begin slicing. I swing to my left and the first two heads go crashing down. I start dribbling both heads like their basketballs after putting my scythes back in their sheafs. I continue chopping down the Zombies as I work my way back to school. I make a couple of air balls with their heads the good kind preferably as far from their bodies as possible. I need to save Leslie if I can, but more importantly I have to kill all of these stinking Zombies. If anything were to happen to Zoe I don't know what I'd do!
Zoe ran slowly holding onto the stupid Axe that Jakey gave her. Damn him. He's going to get himself killed trying to be a hero. I mean I love him and I almost want to go back, but I'm just so damned scared. I mean I can't even watch this stuff in the movies. I can't deal with the real damn thing. I'm just a cheerleader. I gasp as I hear a sound. Just a truck driving by. Phwooo! I make it to my house and begin to unlock my door. Funny, it's already open.
Jakey meanwhile is like a Slayer possessed slashing down Zombie heads by the dozen. Just the 4 left in my school, I hope. I see a bloodied Leslie still struggling to fight them off while clutching his bleeding arm. Hey, is this the line to start beating up on my teachers? Who, it's the Slayer and I chop them down in one criss crossed shot. I then Proceed to dribble with heads 4 at a time and slam them into the net and I hold on as I tie the end together keeping them locked in. The other heads and bodies have already disappeared. Leslie are you OK? Yeah! So I take it your set to be the Slayer, now. No, Leslie, I'm not but...but...What is it Jakey? I have a very bad feeling Leslie. What is it. I have a bad feeling like Zoe, is in trouble. Well, they did kind of let us off easy almost like they were trying to distract us somehow. You call getting beaten into a bloody pulp and your arm cut up easy? Actually, I...oh my God...Zoe, somethings wrong. Jakey hold on. No, let me drive at least. It's quicker.
Zoe closed the door not even looking inside as she triple locked the door shut. Well at least I made it home. Then she saw some broken glass. Jeez mom, don't you clean up in here at all? Oh, dear why don't you come here, my dear? S-sure mom? I think it's time boys. And then the Zombies grab Zoe and pull her back away as she sees her father being slaughtered right before her eyes by her own mother. Dad, mom, no! No! This isn't happening!
Jakey had the worst feeling in the world, like the world just had ended and he just arrived late to the party. He instantly slid out of the window of Leslie's car as he hopped to the top of it sort of surfing on the car. Too, bad it's a corny bookwormish car, but no Zoe, no time for funny thoughts please be alright. All wrong, he spat out as tears came out of his eyes as he saw Zombies jumping out of her home and running away. He hopped off the car and bolted to her house.
He slammed through the dead bolted door like it was paper and went to a dead halt as he saw the bloodied form of his girlfriend wheezing on the floor. He rushed up to her cradling her in him arms. Zoe! Zoe, he cried! Oh, God no! Y-you, y-you c-came back f-for m-me. Of course I did baby, just hold on please. Just a little longer. Leslie please call an ambulance. Please. Come, on baby hold on help is on the way. Your so handsome, J-Jakey. My Jakey my sweet, sweet Jakey. Yes baby I'm right here. I'm never going to leave you. Never. I love you Zoe. I love you so much. Jakey p-promise me something. What anything, you want Zoe. Please Jakey, if, cough, cough, if I don't make it please I want you to live your own life Jakey. No, what are you saying, please Zoe, don't leave me I can't live without you. Just, cough, cough, can you do a couple more things for me. Live, Jakey. Please live for the both of us and please give me one more kiss...unnnh. I move in for the kiss hoping , holding, praying my kiss might bring her back to life. Like sleeping beauty coming back to me. And then I don't feel any breath coming out of her. I try to administer CPR. Leslie is doing thrusts into her chests. I'm blowing precious life giving air. The medics come rushing in and she's dead. My whole world stops. Jakey I know this is hard. Not now Leslie. But Jakey, no, I need to do one thing first. Leslie watches as Jakey runs up to Zoe's mother's room. Hi, Mrs. Meadows. It's kind of funny I brought your daughter back here in one piece. But you didn't give her back to me in one piece and Jakey lunges at her. She sidesteps him and attempts a kick which he catches and swings her into her dearly departed husband. Ahh more brains, more...Jakey chops her head off with the Axe he had pried from Zoe's dead fingers. I hate you. I hate you all, and if it's the last thing I do. I will slay all of you damn demons and send you straight back to hell! This I swear! Leslie watched from a distance as his charge had finally grown into his Slayer role, but maybe, just maybe if he had done it a little sooner, it wouldn't have been as a result of so much pain.
Jakey didn't hear one word of encouragement from his friends as he dropped a final flower by Zoe's grave. His pain and sorrow kept all outside noise completely muffled. All he could hear or see was that tombstone with Zoe's birth date and death date. Part of him died that very same day he sighed. I love you Zoe and I always will and he turned away in painful sorrow and anger. Yes I am the Slayer, and I won't rest till I avenge you Zoe. They will pay for what they did to you. This I swear!
The Zombies come by later and start digging up Zoe's grave. Heh, heh this funeral curator can take your place, my lovely Zoe Meadows. You are going to be the perfect instrument of our revenge on the Slayer. They drag her body away. Perfect indeed!
The End of episode and chapter 2!
Epilogue 2:
Jake Ryan continued to look at the pictures of potential starlets to play Zoronda. He kept ending up looking at the Hanna Montana picture. And it's funny too, because technically he was more into brunettes than blonds, but there was something about her eyes that kept beckoning for him to pick her. After staring for a little while more he shuffled the pictures again just this time he left Hanna Montana's picture on top.
Wow, my God, what a great show Oliver Oken screamed with glee. My God this show is so awesome. I've got to tell Lilly about it.
--To be continued--
Author's note: So what did you think about that ending? You had to know something was going to happen to poor Zoe. Hey without no pain there is no purpose. Of course Zoe isn't completely gone yet. Because Sometimes they do come back. Only changed! After all sometimes things are just meant to be that way. So review away, ok!
