Yes.the last one kinda stinked. I'm sorry. I'll try not to do that again.
Heh heh.
I own none of the characters in this story except for Dana and the occasional extra or two. Other characters are all owned by Telescene (Thanks Xing). In other words, not me!
Tommy V.O. Things were back to normal, though the gang was pretty freaked that we were on the brink of an apocalypse. Meanwhile, Dana and I began to get back in the groove of our relationship.
(Tommy and Dana sit at a park bench, nighttime. Tommy has his arm around Dana. They both are looking at the sky.)
Tommy: So Sky-Anne turned herself in?
Dana: Yeah, she seemed pretty scrambled up a bit in the head. Her magic is consuming most of her logic and reasoning. It must feel terrible to be responsible for killing someone. Anyway, they figure they can probably get her into the Pleasantville Mental Institution. Apparently there is a very powerful Wiccan who works there. They've gotten everything planned. The Nurse/Witch will help Sky-Anne through all her magic problems while staying there.
Tommy: That's good. If we're gonna have an apocalypse coming up, we sure need a powerful SANE being on our side.
Dana: Speaking of which. What's up with the whole Scooby Doo gang thing?
Tommy: Oh, that? Well.umm.Merton and I discovered that there were monsters in the world, so we.uh, started killing them. That's all, nothing much to explain. (Grins weakly)
Dana: (not satisfied with the answer) Oh.so, what info do we have on the new beasty?
Tommy: Well, it's hard to say. Merton says the Shibshu was probably referring to its leader.
Dana: You mean that thing had a leader?
Tommy: Well, again according to Merton, all demons answer to a higher power. Like the military.
Dana: So.then who's the leader?
Tommy: That's what we need to find out.
Dana: Well we need to get a jump on it Tommy! We can't just sit here and dawdle. We need to find this thing before it destroys the entire world!!!
Tommy: Okay Dana, chill. We're doing the best we can. Merton's-
Dana: Merton's not enough. We need to start helping too.
Tommy: You're right. And we'll do that, starting tomorrow.
(Lair)
Merton: She's coming-here?
Tommy: Yes Merton. You don't think we would reveal to her that monsters are real and then leave her hanging when she wants to help, do you?
Merton: Works for me. Besides, I haven't had time to clean or anything since I've been studying day and night for the past week. The lair's a mess! And surprisingly my newspapers seemed to have been soaked in water!
Tommy: Yeah.umm (clears throat) Sorry about that.
Merton: You mean you? Ewwwe.Tommy!!!
Tommy: What? You were styling your hair at the time.
Merton: How many times have I reminded you not to drink six gallons of Gatorade at those darn football practices?!
Tommy: Oh c'mon, it wasn't six.more like.five.
Merton: Well excuse me- (Dana clears throat, Merton and Tommy turn surprised to see her) for not having the lair spit-shine clean.heh heh.
Tommy: We were just-
Dana: (Putting backpack on table) That's okay, I really don't want to know. I've been studying at the library. I found some books that could help us out a bit.
Tommy: You did?
Merton: (Disappointed) You did?
Dana: Yeah.is it that surprising?
Merton: No, it's just, I've looked through all the books in the library over the past few years and never once has the Librarian told me of any mystical manuscripts.
Dana: Yeah, well, you also don't have a tight, round butt old creepy people tend to glance at when your bending over to pick a book from the bottom shelf.
Merton: (Cocks head) That's what you think.
Tommy: Wait, you mean, he looked at your butt? I'm gonna kill-
Dana: Don't worry Tommy, you're still the only guy with the permission to touch (winks).
Merton: (groans and rolls eyes) Let's get back on topic shall we?
Dana: Right. So, he shows me his storage collection, and voila, books. (Smiles, and gestures to a pile of books)
Merton: This is good.
Dana: Yeah, I've basically glanced through all of them, though I haven't really analyzed any. You might wanna take a look.
Merton: Yeah. (Takes book and heads to computer)
Dana: (Sits down next to Tommy) I think we have a lead though.
Tommy: What do you mean?
Dana: Well, the books basically state that there is good and evil.blah blah blah. Everything has a connection.blah blah blah.
Merton: (Obviously jealous of her theory) so?
Dana: So, I was thinking, why haven't we found anything? And then I figured out that there is no actual recording of the beginning of time except-
Merton: I could have told you that.
Tommy: Shh.Merton let her finish.
(Merton crosses his arms)
Dana: As I was saying, there is no actual written documentation of the beginning, except for religion! See, if you examine all the religions in the world, most of them all emphasize on this very powerful evil bent on obliterating every ounce of good from every corner of the world. Maybe what we're dealing with is actually the Devil, or what have you.
Tommy: And what better way to destroy all good in the world than to destroy the entire world. But how can we fight him?
Dana: I don't know.
Merton: There's no possible way.but maybe we could, restrain him?
Tommy: Sounds good.
Dana: Okay then, I'll research the rest of the books and Merton can look some stuff up on the Internet.
Tommy: What about me?
Dana: Umm. you scan the television for any updates.
Tommy: Gotcha (Turns on TV) Whoa, hey guys listen to this.
Announcer: Just six days ago, goats with two heads were born. Why is this so special? Because 666 of them were born around the world (The three give each other a worried look) Stay tuned when we come back to find out why blood is being found in the plumbing pipes of this Brazilian town and- (Tommy turns the TV off)
Merton: Tommy, what the hell was that?
Tommy: Ripley's (Shrugs)
(Dana and Merton look at each other bewildered)
Merton: Okay, well, back to wor-
Dana: Umm.I can't.
Tommy: But you just got here!
Merton: It's only 1:38 in the morning; what's the rush?
Dana: Nothing, I just need to be somewhere.
Merton: Well, unless it's over the Rainbow, I think you should stay right here.
Tommy: (Approaching Dana concerned) It could be dangerous out there.
Dana: (Reassuring smile) Don't worry, I'm a big girl. I can take care of myself.
(Dana leaves)
Merton: So- should we start following her now, or wait a while?
Tommy: Now's fine.
(Tommy and Merton hide behind some bushes with sunglasses on. They watch as Dana enters a strip place.)
Merton: Tommy, I think your girl's two timing you!
Tommy: Nah Merton. She just might be-
Merton: Trying to seduce some Pierce Brosnan look-a-like?
Tommy: (Growls) Ready?
Merton: To go in there? Tommy! There's no possible way to get in. Believe me, I've tried.
Tommy: I didn't say both of us were going in (grinning)
Merton: What?
(Tommy throws Merton across the bushes. The yelping of Merton as he hits the pavement startles the security guards. They leave their post to investigate the situation.)
Tommy: (Getting up from behind the bushes) Sorry buddy. (Sneaks past the guards. Tommy enters the building to see Dana pole dancing) Dana?!
Dana: (stops) Tommy?
Both: What are you doing here? (Pause, mad at eachother) What am I doing here?
(Dana gets off the platform and storms off past Tommy.)
Customer: Hey, I didn't get my lap dance yet!
Tommy: Shove off creep.
Dana: Tommy, I can take care of myself. Shove off creep.
Tommy: (Stops Dana) I knew it! I knew something was going on! Not being home late at night, looking more tired than usual, being crankier than usual.
Dana: Okay, okay. I get your point.
Tommy: Why didn't you tell me?
Dana: Embarrassment and shame?
Tommy: C'mon. Why?
Merton: Hey guys. What's up?
Tommy: (To Merton) Didn't you say it was impossible to get into this place?
Merton: Yeah, but the threat to sue really brings out the friendliness in people. So, is she seducing men twice or six times her age?
Tommy: Neither, just giving them lap dances.
Merton: I can believe that.
Dana: Back off Merton. Look, Tommy, I can't really tell you why I'm here, at least, not right now, in public.
Tommy: Whatever. You coming Merton?
Merton: Nah, first time in the joint, gotta find some action.
Tommy: Fine. (Turns and leaves)
Merton: See you later Tommy!
Dana: Tommy!
(Tommy exits)
Merton: You sure got him wound up. It's a wonder he didn't.umm.bite you. Heh heh.
Dana: Thank you Merton. It's really nice to hear that after a horrible day. I appreciate it.
Merton: No problem. Here to annoy. Why exactly are you poling anyhow? Did Tommy become too lame for your bad boy taste?
Dana: No, Daddy's credit card bounced! There, are you happy?
Merton: (Now sentimental) No.
Dana: Oh, would you like to know more then? I'm not rich. I have to buy my things at low-income stores. My parents' pay sucks, so I have to make time to lead a double life to even afford anything. How about that? Now you have something to tell Tommy and everyone else so they'll all consider me lower than every geek and nerd attending our high school, even you.
Merton: (Serious) Popularity isn't everything.
Dana: It is to me.
(Dana grabs her coat and rushes out the door. Merton quickly follows her)
Merton: Wait Dana! (Runs into something. Takes off sunglasses) Darn it. Who honestly plants a tree in the middle of the park? Dana? (Looks around. He's lost her. He suddenly hears a girl scream) Oh boy.
(Merton races to the area the scream came from. He discovers Dana struggling with a demon.)
Merton: Dana? Need some help.
Dana: (in a headlock) No, I'm just dandy.
Merton: Oh good, because I hate confrontations.
Dana: (Still in headlock) Merton I was being sarcastic!
Merton: Oh. right. What'll it be, wooden stake or silver dagger. (Pulling out weapons from his overcoat)
Dana: How should I know? I'm not the expert here! (Is now out of headlock and fighting the demon off. The demon attempts to claw her, but scratches her clothes instead. ) That was my new coat you son of a-
Merton: Dana here!
Dana: (Merton throws dagger and Dana catches it. She jabs the metal in the demon's chest. The demon explodes) Eat that you disgusting fashion reject!
Merton: How did you do that?
Dana: Oh, it's really simple. I just examined his use of wardrobe, or not wardrobe (winces)
Merton: No! I meant, how did you beat him in battle like that? You're a newbie at this stuff!
Dana: I'm a brown belt.
Merton: Ohhhh.
Dana: Yeah, but this was way too easy. I mean, Garthroc demons are harder to kill than this.
Merton: Aha! So, you did know about this demon then.
Dana: Yeah, read about it in a book. But no matter how hard you try retaining info, it always seems to slip out in the heat of battle.
Merton: Don't I know that.
Dana: Something's wrong though Merton. Even Sky-Anne was a little confused. She's only been practicing magic for a couple of months, and to take on a powerful monster like the Shibshu, destroying it in a mere fifteen minutes? And the Garthroc demon? Let's just say the last written battle with one of those took out a dozen of a village's strongest men. But both of us escaped with only a few minor bumps and bruises. It just doesn't seem to fit.
Merton: Maybe you both got really luck.
Dana: Think logically Merton. A few months of mixing fairy dust and four years of karate doesn't quite kill two of the most powerful demons. Something is definitely wonky.
(Another part of the park. Everything is quiet. All of a sudden a portal opens and a girl flies out falling to the ground on her stomach)
Girl: (Rising head, hair all in face, angry) Where the hell am I?
