NOTE: SO THE STORY MAKES SENSE, I HAVE TAKEN SOME LINES FROM THE ORIGINAL TELEPLAY. PLEASE DON'T SUE.

Scene: The Sidewalk

[Tara is wandering down the street muttering words to herself. About five feet away, the Scooby Gang followed carrying weapons. Their eyes stop at the steep metal platform.]

Scene: On the platform

[The minions hauled AJ up. Two other minions led Dawn to her spot on the platform. They tied her wrists.]

AJ: Dawn, are you okay?

Dawn: Are you?

AJ: I feel cold blades against my wrists. That is not a good sign. I do see you through this little hole at the bottom of 'the box'. [Looks through the hole and squints. Sees the Scooby Gang.] What the…

Scene: Back to the sidewalk

Xander: Shpadoinkle...

Anya: What is that...?

Giles: The portal must open up there.

Buffy: Will, you're up.

[Willow tries to look determined.]

Giles: Need anything?

Willow: Could use some courage ...

[Spike's hand comes into frame, holding a flask.]

Willow: (cont'd) The real kind.

[The hand withdraws.]

Willow: (cont'd) But thanks.

[She takes a deep breath, closes her eyes. Begins mumbling something under her breath. An incantation.]

Scene: Construction Site Night

[It's a few moments later, as Tara enters the site. Crazies are milling about, no longer building, but many of them still gathering bricks and chains and metal bars -- to be used as weapons. A couple of minions, armed with blades, keep an eye on them.

Tara joins in mindlessly, rummaging about the piles of rubble for something with heft. Suddenly a hand clamps down on her shoulder, spins her around.

The hand belongs to Glory, who eyes her suspiciously.]

Glory: You. What are you doing here?

[As she says it, Willow appears between them and SHOVES HER FINGERS into both Glory's and Tara's heads.]

Willow: She's with me.

[Glory gasps in paralyzed pain -- as do the other girls -- as white, crackling energy bursts from her head, running along Willow's arms straight into Tara's head.]

[A moment of this, all girls shaking, and the energy WHITES OUT the screen in a blast that sends all three girls flying back in different directions.]

[Willow and Tara both land hard, lying unconscious.]

[Glory lands and is on her feet again in a second. Minions run to her.]

Glory: What the frikkin' hell did that bitch do to me!?!

Glory's minion 1: You look fine! Truly!

Glory's minion 2: Stylish and affordable! Or ...

[Glory takes a step, stumbles...]

Glory: She made a little, she made a hole ... God I need a meal... I need a brain to eat –

Minion 1: Take mine, oh groove-tastic one --

Glory: I said a BRAIN, you worthless dirt! I got places to be! Big day... Need
a brain ...

[She turns slowly, seeing someone.]

Glory: (cont'd) Suppose I could always use yours.

REVERSE ON: BUFFY

[Camera coming at her, low angle, the epitome of cool. Battle ready.]

Buffy: Okay then. Come and get it.

[Glory told her minions to guard the stairs of the platform. At the moment, Glory and "Buffy" are fighting. Glory finds out that the Buffy she was fighting was the Buffy bot, blah blah blah. The Scooby Gang comes and starts fighting the crazy people and the minions. Willow wakes up and Tara isn't crazy anymore.]

Dawn: (OS) Buffy, we're up here!

[Buffy goes to run up to the platform. Glory stops her. Buffy hits her with the troll hammer. Glory gets hit with a wrecking ball, courtesy of Xander. The other Scoobies are now losing the battle.]

Scene: Platform

[As if he magically appeared, Doc stood before Dawn dressed in a black suit.]

Doc: Hello.

Dawn: You, take him down, untie me…

Doc: Do you want to see a magic trick?

Dawn: Please help us… she's coming…

AJ: Dawn, I wouldn't trust that guy.

Doc: Well, if the splendiferous one isn't here to bleed you… [He whips out a knife.]

AJ: Told you.

[Doc takes a remote out of his inside pocket and pushes a big red button.]

[The button caused the blades by AJ's wrists get slit. He bellowed out in pain.]

[Within a few minutes, the blood from AJ's wrists dripped on Dawn's forehead.]

Doc: [an evil smile is planted on his face] I am going to enjoy this…
