The Seed Of Good & Evil Chapter 13
(Scene 1: The hiploid demon is out of Derek's body. He along with several other demons are in a warehouse.)
Hiploid demon: They rule undeniably. The humans are diminutive and weak in strength, yet we lurk in dark corners, while they weep the benefits in life that they hardly deserve. This fact has pushed me to a truth. When the apocalypse arises, evil will be the survivor, the sole survivor. I have a guarantee on that.
demon 2: We've heard this before. Time after time evil arises in Sunnydale and falls to the hands of humans.
demon 3: The slayer. First she vanquishes the master and then murders Glorificous, a God of powers beyond our fathom. We are mere demons. She will kill us for sport.
Hiploid demon: The slayer is no longer a problem. I have taken care of her.
(Scene 2: Buffy is being rolled in on a stretcher. Her clothes are damp and muddy. She can't really hear anything, but the sound of her heartbeat and her breathing. The doctors' voices are lingering in the background. Everything's going in slow motion.)
Doctor: Buffy, Buffy can you here me? (Buffy blinks and sees Derek's face. She looks up at the doctor.) Miss Summers stay with me. Come on. (She blinks again and hears the sound of a baby crying. Memories start flashing through Buffy's head.)
Buffy: Are you scared?
Spike: I wonder if we'll be enough to protect whatever is inside of you.
Willow: We're looking into this and we think this child might have been prophesized.
Buffy: You, you!
Spike: Me, what? (Buffy kisses Spike passionately.)
Spike: That's not just a child. It's destiny, yours, mines, and the fate of the worlds.
Harmony: Game over Buff and this time, I win. (The doctors' voices fade in. Buffy squints her eyes due to the light. All she can make out are hovering shadows.)
doctor: She's back. Her breathing has stabilized.
doctor 2: You're going to be OK Buffy, you're going to be OK. (Buffy's eyes close.)
(Scene 3: Xander, Anya and Dawn are waiting outside of Buffy's hospital room. Tara and Willow meet them.)
Willow: How is she?
Dawn: We don't know yet.
Xander: Tara, are you all right?
Tara: I'm OK. (Tara rubs her neck.) Lucky for me I was just a quick snack.
Xander: Luck on a Hell mouth, you gotta love it. So, has anyone heard from Spike?
Willow: Not since the night Buffy was, well, you know.
Dawn: He hasn't come home yet either. I think this whole thing is hitting him pretty hard.
Xander: You know what, it should.
Willow: Xander.
Xander: He was supposed to be her mighty protector, remember? All the good he did.
Willow: It's not his fault. I remember meeting Derek before. None of us could have known he was dangerous. He seemed so, I don't know. . .
Anya: (Anya is reading a magazine.) Incredibly sexy. (Everyone looks at Anya.)
Willow: Normal was actually the word I was looking for.
Anya: Oh, right, well I guess he was that too. (Everyone looks at Anya. She holds up the magazine.) Look it's lip-gloss. It's shiny and not me.
Dawn: (Dawn looks over at Buffy's room.) Why won't anyone tell us what happened or what's happening?
Tara: They will Dawnie, they will. (A policeman walks over to them.)
Police man: Are you all friends of the deceased? (They look at each other.) Derek Kyle, are you any kin to him?
Willow: No, we're friends of Buffy Summers. She was also in the car accident.
Police man: Right. May I ask a few questions?
Willow: Sure.
Police man: Derek Kyle, what was his relationship to Miss Summers?
Willow: I guess he's a friend or he was a friend.
(Scene 4: The doctors are standing over Buffy. Spike is outside her window. He ducks when he sees them walk pass. They walk out of her room and he slips inside.)
Spike: Buffy, it's me. I've done it again haven't I? I couldn't protect you and. . . I'm sorry. You don't know what I'd do right now to have you get up and quarrel with me. I would even let you win. I guess that was sort of a given even before I made that decision, but it's the thought that counts, right, so? (Spike looks over at Buffy.) I can't lose you, not again, not like this. Please come back to me. (He gets up and walks towards the window.) I can't lose you. (He kicks the chair to the wall.) And I won't. (Spike turns to Buffy. His face has morphed into a vampire.) An eternity. That should be just enough time. (Spike walks over to Buffy. He gets ready to bite her, slowly descending towards her neck. Quietly a noise comes from Buffy's barely parted lips.)
Buffy: Jade? (Spike stands up.)
Spike: (He morphs back.) Buffy?
(Scene 5: Dr. Woodrow is sitting with Willow, Anya, and Tara. Xander and Dawn have gone to get food.)
Dr. Woodrow: So that's where we are now. Buffy has stabilized, but we're going to keep a close eye on her for the next forty-eight hours.
Willow: Jade is.. Buffy's going to be heart-broken.
Dr. Woodrow: All I can say is that she's very lucky to be a live.
Anya: No, you don't understand. Her daughter was special, very special to everyone on earth. . .
Willow: Anya, I think Dr. Woodrow understands how important life is. (Willow gives Anya a look. Tara rubs Willow's shoulder.) She's really going to need. . .
Anya: Giles.
Willow: (Willow looks at Anya.) Giles?
Anya: Giles. (Anya points and stands up. Willow turns and sees Giles walking towards them.)
Willow: Oh, my gosh. (Willow stands up. Giles walks over and they hug.)
Giles: Willow. Anya. Tara, how are you all?
Willow: A million times better. What are you doing here? What's going on?
Giles: I heard about Buffy. The council has sent me here to… well this is difficult, but I must take her baby back to England with me.
Tara: That's impossible.
Giles: Actually, it's imperative. Her child needs protection. It has a great deal of influence on (Giles looks over at the doctor.) certain events, incredible really.
Willow: Giles. We don't have Buffy's baby.
Giles: Well, where is it? (Willow looks down.)
(Scene 6: The Hiploid demon is still discussing his plans with the other demons.)
demon 2: The slayer is gone, that's certainly an accomplishment, but this guarantee victory over good. How is it that you have such an elevated assurance?
Hiploid demon: I'm glad you asked. BRING in the WEAPON! (Two minions are carrying a crate. They place it carefully on the ground before the Hiploid demon. Fearfully , they go to open the crate and when they do open it, they run away. On the ground, Jade is laying on her back, on the wooden crates. She is crying. All the demons look at her.)
Demon 2: This is the weapon?
Hiploid demon: Yes. This is the one the humans call Jade.
