UPGRADE

It's night and Kaitlyn is chasing a vampire suspect through the back alleys of Washington DC. "Dammit, why run? I'll get you anyway."

The vamp keeps fleeing, jumping fences. Kate continues chasing. She doesn't notice, but the symbols scarred into her lower back begin to glow. Each of the three symbols represents an ancient force. One, the Watcher's Council. The second, the Cheyenne native tribe. The third, the Shao Lin monks of Tibet. All, ancient guardians of the slayer. They glow brighter and then Kate gets disoriented. She slows and then a small beam of energy zaps into her from the sky. She drops to the ground.

Kaitlyn wakes up. She stands up. "Where am I?"

Looking around, everything is glowing white. It seems foggy as well.

Kaitlyn looks down, "Where are the clothes I was wearing?"

Mysteriously, Kate is now in white pants and a white tank top with white shoes. Her weapons and gear are gone. She walks toward a bright white light. She stops, thinking 'am I dead?'. She hears a scream and rushes into the light. She suddenly appears in a large open field. She walks along, nothing but field in sight. She turns around and there is a large white wall. Kate looks up and it's endlessly tall.

She knocks on it. "Hmm."

She then punches it and it bends inward and then bounces back to normal. "What the..."

She turns around and suddenly the field is now sand and a tall pyramid is there. She walks along and the pyramid has no entrance. She taps her foot against it. Suddenly a doorway appears.

"Uh huh...right..." She enters.

The room inside has weird 3D cubes, triangles and spheres hovering around. Kate pokes a sphere as it flies by and it turns into a cube. Kate slowly walks out from that room and enters the next. This one, everything is upside down.

"I must have stepped on a heroine needle or something, this is messed up..." Kate runs through and go into another room.

This one has a giant eyeball in the middle. "A giant eyeball..."

Suddenly a voice seems to come from everywhere, "What."

Kate quickly looks all around, "What the hell?"

Again she hears, "What."

Kate looks at the eyeball, wide eyed.

Again, the voice, "What."

Kaitlyn, "What?"

Suddenly the eyeball blinks.

Kaitlyn asks, pointing at the eyeball, "Are you the one talking?"

The eye, "Yea. Who else is here?"

Kaitlyn, "Strangely, this is making me feel better. Where am I?"

The eye, "You are in a split universal point. A rip in time and space, between dimensions. Also, you're inside a pyramid."

Kate holds back a laugh, "Okay. How do I get out?"

The eye, "You simply leave."

Kaitlyn pokes the eye.

"Owww, dammit. What the hell!" It blinks repeatedly.

Kate asks again, "How do I get out of this time warp thingy?"

The eye, "First, stop being a bitch. Never poke the giant eyeball. Second, you must complete your journey."

Kaitlyn raises her finger, "Stop speaking like a dumbass and just tell me in plain English."

The eye, "You want the truth? Here it is. I don't know. I don't really care. I'm a giant eyeball. I can't move. You're the first person I've spoken to in centuries."

Kaitlyn starts walking away.

The eye, "Can you at least show me your boobs?"

Kate, "I'm gone!"

She leaves the room and appears in a very dark room. She walks through the dark and trips over something. She gets back up and trips again. She gets up and starts walking.

She trips over another object, "God, dammit..."

Suddenly a light comes on. She looks back. There are almost a hundred skulls all over the floor. She finds her way into a hallway. She starts walking but the hallway stretches.

"Fuck it." She turns around but there's now stairs there.

Kate runs up the stairs and enters a room. Kate walks through. She finally reaches a balcony on the outside of the pyramid. She looks down and there's nothing but sheep. She jumps off the balcony and slides down the pyramid and into the sheep. Suddenly they stand up and attack.

"Oh, for crying out loud, this is immature." She punches a sheep and it explodes into a bunch of cotton balls.

Kate stares blankly for a second. Kate fights her way through the crowd of thousands of sheep. She kicks and punches through them. Cotton flies everywhere. She decides to run through and get away but the sheep keep coming.

Kate bolts as fast as possible and makes it to another massive wall. "Damn."

She turns around and the sheep are charging at her. She tries her advanced powers but nothing happens. Her eyes stay normal. She backs against the wall and slams her head in anger. The wall sucks her in and spits her out on the other side. She gets up and turns to look at the wall. The sheep on the other side are trying to get through. Kate runs and smacks into an invisible wall. Then a sheep gets through. Kate gets in a fighting stance and squints angrily at it. The sheep does a ninja move and squints back. The sheep attacks. They fight but suddenly the sheep moves faster than what is possible. Kate tries blocking moves but the sheep is moving super fast. She can't keep up. Then she stops and closes her eyes. The sheep stops and wonders what she's doing. After a minute Kate opens her eyes and they're glowing white. She looks at the sheep. It squints at her. Kaitlyn goes to punch the sheep and moves so fast the sheep can't even dodge. Kate fights the sheep, snaps it's neck and it puffs into cotton balls. Kaitlyn gets annoyed, wanting to find her way out of this weird dimension. She goes over and kicks the wall. It shatters. All the sheep on the other side stare. She points and they all start exploding.

Screaming at the top of her lungs, "God, dammit, I want out!!!"

She shocks awake in a hospital bed.

Commander Walther runs in, "She's awake!"

Kate asks what happened.

Giles runs in. "Oh lord, I'm sorry. I should have warned you."

Kate, "Warned me what?"

Giles, "The Cheyenne tribe contacted me. They said it was time that you be given access to the ancient powers. The chieftain fears a new evil is coming. Something different than ever before."

Kaitlyn, "What? Wiping out all evil on Earth wasn't enough? Now there's gonna be more? Ahh! Damn sheep."

Giles, "Huh...um...sheep? Anyway, we had to give you the power you need to fight these new evils. The Shao Lin, Cheyenne and myself performed a mix spell to release the oldest, ancient slayer power known. The Cheyenne had access to something even the Watcher's Council couldn't get. Something about the ancient Mayans."

Commander Walther, "It seems the 'upgrade' shocked your body into a coma."

Kaitlyn, "Some coma."
