OUR TRUTH

Kaitlyn is fighting a demon in a parking lot near her apartment. The demon swings at her, as she bends back dodging it, her leg kicks it in the face, as she back flips once. She roundhouse kicks it. Suddenly a white orb comes down, zaps the demon. It vaporizes. The orb zaps Kaitlyn and she falls down.

Kaitlyn wakes up and stands up.

She looks around, its dim. "Hell, another damn coma."

Then a row of lights light up the hallway one by one. Its cold and the hallway is weird. Wires, tubes, pipelines, all mechanical looking are everywhere along the walls and ceiling. She walks down slowly, goes to pull her gun.

"Shit..." Her gear is all missing.

She continues and the hallway comes to a dead end. Then it opens. She enters a massive dome shaped room, very dark, empty. The door closes behind her.

"Okay! What now?!" She yells annoyed.

Then the wall on the other side opens slowly. Its very bright inside the opening. Then a tall, thin being hovers through and into the main room. Kaitlyn thinks to herself 'no way'.

Then she hears a voice, telepathically. "Welcome, slayer."

A tall extraterrestrial hovers to the center of the room and lands, standing. "Sorry for our method of getting to you, but we needed to speak immediately. True danger is nearing, and it is necessary for you to know all that will be coming."

Kaitlyn, "Uh huh. So I've heard. Wiping out all evil a few years ago didn't work?"

Alien, "That was only a small threat to your world. But a worse enemy is rising. The true end of not just your world, but all worlds is coming. Nothing that came before matches this evil...or at least on your planet."

Kaitlyn, "So then, what's up?"

The alien looks up at the ceiling of the massive dome room and a hatch opens at the top. A device comes down and turns on. The floor they both stand on, turns on as well. Kaitlyn looks around.

The alien continues, "This is the story of both mine and your worlds." A digital, projected image is generated in the room. "Exactly 5.6 million years ago, on my world, we lived much like you do. We had large civilizations." A generated image appears of the alien world. "As we became more and more developed, so did our religions. We, like your world, had beliefs. Worshiping the stars. Our world, we believed, was ruled by both good and evil. A God and a devil. The day we developed advanced technology and began space travel, we learned a great horror. The God we worshiped was evil. God and Satan were brothers, both demon gods with extreme power. The two once fought, they began to hate each other. They fought over who would rule our planet. Around your year of 740,000 BC, the two gods fought, using our planet as a battle ground. Our planet joined together and we sent our militaries up and against the gods. Both brothers had massive armies of their own. We destroyed their armies and forced them to leave." The image switches to show the battle. Space cruisers use lasers and blow up godly armies. Explosions go off next to the alien planet. Cities of aliens would be vaporized and devastated. Then it shows the aliens set off a powerful bomb which vaporized God and Satan's armies. "The two brothers fled. Never to return to our world. What was left was repaired, our planet slowly rebuilt. The brothers then found a new world. Again, they fought over who would rule it. This time, they tried to use the inhabitants to choose the ruler. Around your year of 50,000 BC, the brother, Yehavoh, began to teach the inhabitants that he was the God. He pretended to be good, making the humans worship him. The brother, Satan, was enraged that the humans chose Yehavoh. He began making demons, spirits, vampires and monsters to torment the humans, make them hate God for allowing such beings to exist." The images show demons rising from the ground. The hellmouths develop and the beginning of vampirism. "We soon found about this. Immediately, we had to rush and investigate. Our world remained weakened from the battles, we couldn't attack them again. So we did the only thing we could, infect a line of humans with our own DNA strain. The strain, mutated into the female population. As humans developed from Neanderthals, the slayer was created. The DNA strain we infected humans with gave one woman at a time, the powers of the current day slayer. Our plan was to use the slayer to combat Satan and Yehavoh's battles on Earth. It worked. Repeatedly, Satan would try to take over the world, but the slayers would interrupt the plan and stop him. Since then, we would send craft to check on your race. Abductions were simple checkups on the strain's development." The image projector shows the DNA strain and past battles between slayers and Satan's attacks. "By your 2,100 BC, Yehavoh created a force of demons and creatures that were to fight the slayers and keep us, the reticulans, from interfering with his and Satan's activities. These beings were to hunt slayers and kill the DNA line. They were to destroy any extraterrestrials that interfere. In 33 BC, one of our craft was shot down. Inside was one of our scouts. He was crash landed. We never knew he was missing. Now, stranded, he formed to look human. For years he lived as a human. He used our power to heal the sick and injured. By 12 BC he was worshiped by humans. He tried to remain low profile and was soon killed. Your world soon called him Jesus Christ and worshiped him as someone special, though, just an alien. Four days after his death, we found and rescued him. Your slayer line was secretly taught to key civilizations on your Earth. To keep your duty safe, we tried to help protect and guide slayers, but contact was lost in the last incursion. An African tribe was taught first, they were soon hunted and destroyed. We moved to the Tibetan monks but they too were found out by Satan's armies and destroyed. Remaining monks hid in the mountains for safety. We next tried the ancient Mayans. They were not found for many years, so we decided once more to give them a final message. We were to return in 2012 to destroy Yehavoh and Satan. We lost contact. The Mayans were destroyed. Mayans that fled for safety soon became the Cheyenne native tribe. Your European peoples, the English, learned of ancient civilizations and of the slayer. The council of Watchers was developed and guided the slayers since then. They, with the supplies needed, were able to fight Satan and Yehavoh, and develop new methods and technologies to defeat attacking armies of demons. Satan was killed in your year of 2003 AD when your friend, Buffy Summers destroyed the Sunnydale hellmouth. We, ourselves were shocked to learn humans managed to destroy Satan. But Satan's right hand man, took power. We knew, with the time of our invasion nearing, we had to help you, the true chosen slayer. With you given more power from each of the ancient civilizations, you aligned with the cosmic forces and destroyed all the evil on Earth. Yehavoh knew you were attacking and fled. Unfortunately, he has returned. Now he wants you dead." The imager shows each of the civilizations that made contact and the destruction of Sunnydale and Kaitlyn's beam of devastation. "Now with only two years left before we come and you destroy Yehavoh, you will meet and see many new evils. Forces of great power. You, your friends and those supporting you, are in danger. Take caution. We will only speak again, when the day comes in 2012."

The imager shuts down and a bright flash occurs. Kaitlyn appears standing in the parking lot next to her apartment.

"Damn...where's my stuff?" She walks over and picks up her gun belt and gear and goes inside her apartment.

Kaitlyn calls Giles and tells a shortened version of what happened.

Giles, "It's imperative we all meet." He hangs up.

Kaitlyn, "Uh...okay..."

The next day Kaitlyn gets a call. She grabs Matt and drives up to Maybrook. When she arrives at Willow's house, she goes in and sees everyone, Shawn, Faith, Buffy, Angel, Spike, Giles, Willow and Xander. May Lin by webcam.

Willow runs over and picks up Matt, "Ahh, look how big he his! Aw he's so cute."

Shawn, "Treat him like a man, dammit."

Matt, "Yea, I'm six."

Shawn, "That's right homie."

After everyone gets reacquainted, Giles speaks, "Okay. Kaitlyn called me and told some discomfiting news. It seems our strange uh...um... alien friends contacted Kate and did a lot of um... explaining."

Giles looks at Kaitlyn. Kate explains what happened and what she was told.

Giles, "We're going to need to be extra careful. Buffy, Faith and Kaitlyn must patrol more often. Spike, though I dislike you much, I'll need to be in contact with you while in England. Buffy and Angel must try to get back in contact with the potentials and see how many are willing to come back. May Lin, it would be good to see you back in the United States or with me in England, I expect activity to get quite bad."

Buffy, Faith and Kate make a 'duh' kind of face at Giles.

Kaitlyn, "I don't know how much more patrolling I CAN do. I'm constantly out killing demons. Its my federal duty."

Buffy, "As a cop in Los Angeles, its about the same with me. I'm always out patrolling."

Faith, "Fine, I can start getting out more but I get busy, having to go undercover with DEA."

Shawn, "Hey, I'm always out so don't look at me."

Giles, "I didn't ask you. We must all remain in contact almost daily."

They disperse, now thinking about what may be coming next.
