(Al is turning in his article about cults to his boss (Richard Melvin).) Al: Can I come in? Richard: Yeah, sure pull up a chair. (Al comes in and sits down.) Richard: What have you got for me? Al: It's that article about cults you wanted. Richard: I didn't want an article on cults. Al: I think you'll want one now. I just found a cult worshipping a demon called The First and it's real. Some chick and I got in a fight and we kicked its ass. Damn, I wish I could get her phone number. (Richard gets a pen and begins to write down a number.) Richard: I know this guy who's a psychiatrist. He's a good doctor. Al: What? Richard: You've lost it, Al. You've gone insane. Al: No, wait I can prove it to you. You know that girl I was talking about, she's a slayer... or a mauler... I'm not sure but I can find her and she can prove it. This could be the opportunity you and I have been waiting for. This could be the proof that there are things that go bump in the night. (Al tosses the article to him.) Al: What do you say? (Richard looks at it and tears it.) Richard: I think it's a load of crap. You need help. Now, get out of my office. (Al looks furious and storms out of the office. Richard gets up and closes the blinds. He gets out a bottle of water and begins to drink when something startles him...its The First looking like Buffy.) The First: Hi, what's up? Richard: That Al guy, what a dumbass. He wants to expose you. The First: He's the least of my problems. I could just have him executed. Richard: I could fire him for you. The First: What for? He's an idiot, no one will believe him. I'm on the tip of owning the city. I am practically next to God, here. Richard: You got my vote. The First: That's sweet, now I need you to call this number. (It pulls out a piece of paper out of its pockets. Richard begins to type.) Richard: Who are they? The First: Pest control.

(Faith is walking in a dark alley when we see a girl running towards her. Some vamps are behind her.) Girl: Help me! I'm being attacked! Faith: Stay back; let me take care of it. (She pushes the girl and breaks a box nearby and makes it into a steak. She fights off the vamps with ease. One of the vamps mocks her.) Vamp: Stupid bitch. You don't see us mess with your food. Faith: Hey fuckface! (She throws a steak at its face and it turns to dust.) Faith: Watch your mouth. (She takes on the rest of the vamps with victory. The girl gets up.) Girl: Thank you so much. Faith: You're welcome. (The girl takes out a huge knife and tries to stab her but Faith is too quick.) Faith: What the hell? Girl: An enemy of the goddess is an enemy of ours. Faith: Ours? (A group of girls come out all carrying weapons.) Girl: We are the chosen few. We are the slayers born in exile. Your replacement will suit us. Faith: Now, what makes you think I'll be the one dying? Girl: Kill her for the sake of the Great One. (The exiles attack and Faith knows she can't take them on so she runs away from them. They are catching up to her when she reaches a dead end.) Girl: How does it feel to be prey? (Then at the last moment more girls come out but instead are fighting the exiles. Faith helps the girls out who appear to be slayers too. Then a helicopter appears that scare the rest of exiles away. Faith looks down and sees the taunting girl stabbed and dead.) Faith: Funny how things turn out. (She looks at the slayer-like girls.) Faith: Okay who or what are you. (A girl responds for everybody.) Good-girl: My name is Alla and we are the slayers under Buffy's orders. We have come to stop The First's menace and to get rid of it for once and for all. Faith: Great is Buffy here? Alla: No, she's sort of retired but our squadron leader is here. (The helicopter that scared the girls lands on a nearby rooftop. We see some girls come down the fire-escape along with Giles and Andrew.) Faith: Wow its Jeeves and nerdy guy. Andrew: It's Andrew and I'm more man now. Isn't that right, Giles? Giles: Andrew, shut up. Andrew: ...okay. Giles: Faith, a war is about to break out and we were lucky Willow was able to guide you here. Faith: What? Giles: After Sunnydale was destroyed, you vanished and we began our own Watchers Council. Then we found about The First and we sent Willow to track you down so we she could subconsciously convince you to go to New York. Faith: Not even my mind is safe now-a-days. Andrew: Yeah and I'm a watcher now, so you better treat me with more res... Faith and Giles: Shut up, Andrew! Andrew: ...okay. Faith: So what now? Alla: We will take you with us to our stronghold until Willow and her squadron will come. Faith: Wait more are coming? Giles: We're going to need all the people we have. Faith: That bad? Giles: It'll get worse.
