Episode 1, "No Escape"
Written by Greg D'Angelo

Scene 1:

We see a shirt that says "Offspring," and the camera pulls out to show a guy & a girl sitting on the campus of Standford University. The camera zooms in and moves to a path in the background, where we see young COnnor walking. He see the people sitting down, and walks over to them.

"Hey Connor. What's happening?" says the guy. "Class Jimmy, Igot this bitchin` psych test." "Good luck," says the girl, with a smile. "Thanks," says Connor. He starts walking to class, but he camera stays on his friends.

"So, Sally. You like Connor, huh?" "I guess, what's it to you?" "Nothin`, but it's obvious. I think he likes you too." Sally smiles.

Out of no where a car comes and runs over Sally & Jimmy, but it doesn't stop. It continues and goes straight for Connor.

It knowcks him flat on his ass, but he is unharmed and starts to get up. It reverses, and comes back at him. Connor has no time to fully rise before it hits him again.

*Opening Credits*

Scene 2:

The car comes rushing towards Connor, who is sitting up. He falls back down, and rolls out of the way of the wheels. The car crashes into a tree. We see the two men sitting in the car, and out if no where Connor bursts through the bottom of the car. Their faces turn to shock. But that does not stop them from attacking him. However, he is able to over come the two of them. He pushes one through a window (glass included), and turns on the other one for a beat down.

"You really shouldn't piss me off! He yells, pummeling away. The man soon falls unconcious. Connor opens the doors, and goes for the other one who quickly flees. Connor contemplates following. However, he looks over to his friends, and walks over to them.

Scene 3:

Connor is in a hospital waiting room. A nurse walks by. He jumps to his feet. "How are they?!" "I'm sorry it's not good. They were hit really hart, and are in critical condition. I', afraid . . . . they are going to have to be there for a long time." "And that’s only if they recover, right?" The nurse does not know how to respond to the pessimism that has overcome him. He then turns and storms out of the hospital. As he exits the front door, he pushes it so hard it nearly breaks off.

Scene 4:

Connor walks back to the collage campus, and looks around. "This way," he says to himself, and walks in persuit of his attackers. He walks for a while, and shots fade into overlaps to show a time pass. Eventually he comes to a house.

He bursts through the door, and sees a room alot bigger then could possibly fit inside the house's structure. There are guards just ahead, who take notice of the intruder, so there is no time to ponder what type of magic enchants this place. "the boy has guts," says one. "He saves us the work of having to go out to kill him," the other adds. The both draw swords, and charge at Connor.

He dodges to the side and kicks one's knee out. The guard falls, and he falls on him with a devastating blow to the head. The other kicks at him, but Connor is faster uses a back flip to jump to safety. Connor lures the guard away, and as soon as he has the room, he jumps back to thefallen guard, and grabs his sword.

The guard again charges at him, but this time the blow is meet by another sword. The two clash, and Connor's swing breaks the other's sword. The sword comes close to his head, and the guard has no choice but to grab the blade with his hand. He is bleeding, but shows no sign of pain His other hand swing the remains of his sword toward Connor's gut, but Connor senses the movement, and grabs his wrist. Connor swings and elbow into his foe's jaw. He falls down in pain. Connor also falls down, but in a way so that his sword pierces the guard's gut.

Scene 5:

A middle aged man sits in a chair. In his right hand is a staff, his left remains empty. However to his side is a cast iron stand with a crystal ball on top. It flashes a slightly red color, and he looks at it. "So, my prey has come to me."

Just then, Connor pushes some beads away. "Welcome to my home," says the man. "What in 9 hells do you want with me? If I am to kill anyone, it's going to be you." "Oh no, it will be you I am the great wizard Brandock. At my command, you will die." "I doubt that." The man waves his hand. Two gigantic statues come sliding towards Connor. As they near him, he pyunches them, and they are shattered into bits.

"I will not die!" states Connor. "Yes, you grew up in a hell dimension, and are the child of two vampires. So I gather you're pretty tough, or so you think." "So you see, I've faced worse then a puny old man, who has to fight with henchmen & magic from hid funeral home chair.

"Oh, I am old, but I could fight you if I wished." The wizard says, as he rises to his feet. He then throws a fireball at Connor. Connor ducks, and rolls as another follows. "I just find it more fun to use my mind, rather then brawl like a barbarian." Connor quickly pulls a knife out, aqnd throws it right at Brandock's chest. It passes through, as if he was a ghost, and sticks in the back of his oversized chair. Just then Connor makes a face. He flips forward, and just in time to get away from the real wizard, who was trying to stab him with a knife.

"Damn you boy! Can't you just die?" "What fun would that be? If you're going to kill me, I’m going to make your life miserable doing it!" "Ah yes, misery, that is the game. No offense to you, it's just punishment for your father." Connor starts to get angry. "Sorry Kiddo, I don't want to do this, but the senior partners have offered me way to much money to refuse." "So that wacky lawfirm sent you. Figures." Brandock then throws a pellet to the ground, and a loud thunder is heard continuously. Guards rush in by the dozens.

Connor is in shock, at the amount before him. He knows this number will overwhelm him. He turns around, and pushes the nearest guard away, fleeing the palace.
