Scene 1:

Connor is at the hospital, in the waiting room. He is holding a book in his hands, it’s says "Sojourn by R.A. Salvatore." The book slips, and he wakes up to catch it. "Connor," says a female voice. He looks to see a nurse. "You may go in, Sally is awake."

Connor walks into the room. "Hi," she says with a smile. "Hey," he says. "Connor, what’s wrong?" "Nothing, I’m glad you’re getting better." His face smiles. "I know you’re hiding something, what is it?" "I can’t tell you. You wouldn’t understand." "No? I could try!" He sits down next to her. "OK, let me start from the begining."

*Opening Credits*

Scene 2:

Sally just stares at Connor. He waves his hand in front of her face, as if to test her sight. She blinks. "Just testing." "That’s alot to take in." "You don’t believe it?" "No, but I believe you." Knowing she fully doesn’t believe him, he places his hands on the bed frame, and bends the metal instantly.

"You see, I’m Superman." "Can you fly?" "No, but I can run faster then a speeding bullet." "Can you leap tall buildings in a single bound?" "No, but I can jump off them without getting hurt." "Really?" "Yeah, wanna see?" "Uhhh no!"

"Connor. Did you get any word on Jimmy?" He shakes his head in response.

Scene 3:

A woman is walking down the street. She is in her early 20s, and has rainbow colored hair. A ring is through her nose, and she garments black clothes, including gloves. She continues for a while, until she comes to the University. She walks on campus, and goes into the dorms.

Scene 4:

Connor is walking through a hallway, and comes to a door. He stops, with a look of concern on his face. Yet he enters anyway. "Come on out, I can smell you," he says. And the rainbow haired girl steps out. "I usually, don’t mind girls in my room, but I also don’t like trespassers." "I’m not here for a date! And I ain’t here to steal your stuff either." "Then say what you want, so I can refuse. Then you can leave, and I can get back to business." "I’m here to make a proposal." "I thought you weren’t here for a date." "Well, that was before I came. They didn’t tell me you were so cute. Just that I should get you to join us." "Who is us?" "We are the slayers. An elite band who . . ."

"I know who you are. I’m not a girl, they must have given you the wrong info on me." "Oh no, we know all about you, Connor." "You know my name, where I live, but I don’t know crap about you." "I’m Lisa. All will be worked out, just as soon as you join us." "No, I want to know who & what you are right now." "I wish it didn’t have to come to this, but I have my orders."

She punches him, and he falls to the ground, she sends a kick to his chest, but he rolls out of the way. She presses forward, but this time he grabs her leg, and pulls her down. He quickly risses to his feet, and kicks her in the gut. He picks her up, and throws her into his shelf. He charges, and she rolls out of the way. They throw a seires of punches at each other, and no one gets the upper hand.

She lays a kick in his groin, and he falls down. "Perhaps we were mistaken, you’re not so tough." She walks to the door, and turns back. "Don’t worry honey, I’ll be back."

Scene 5:

Connor gets up, and goes after Lisa. He follows her trail off the campus, for quite a few blocks, and finally to a building. "I smell a rat," he says to himself. He walks in the building, which is very dark, and walks down a hallway. He opens a door, and a bucket falls down. He jumps out of the way, and sees it hit the floor. Some sticky substance is all over the floor. "Pranksters," he mumbles. He turns to leave the room, but an arm reaches in, and pulls it shut.

"OK, not that way. I’ll play your game." He turns and walks through this room, which appears to be an abandoned apparment. He goes into another room, and five women stand there awaiting him. He glances over, and spots a window just a few years away. "Sure, you can make it. But honey, we have friends waiting downstairs as well." In a flash, he tackles the one nearest to him, and knocks her out with an elbow to the jaw.

Two others pull him off, but he does a back flip and escapes their hold. He grabs one into a headlock, and pulls her away from the other one. Two more girls move in close, but he hurls his captive into them. She hits them with force, but they manage to grab her, and hold her up. The girl off on the other side charges Connor, but he is prepared. He ducks, and tosses her over his shoulder. He turns, and she punches, but he again sees the move coming, and kicks her in the knee. He grabs her, and tosses her out the window.

The other 3 are in shock, and charge him at once. Knowing he cannot take all 3 at once, he cartwheels over to the side, and kicks the nearest one hard. As she stumbles, he grabs a chair, and hits her. She falls hard, however the remaining two surround him. "You have not been nice," one says. "All we wanted was to be your friend." "You know most guys would love to join an all girls club, but you refuse us. Is there something wrong with you?" "Yeah, I got alot of problems."

They step towards him, and deliver a fury of punches & kicks. He takes alot of damage, but manages avoid major damage. He jumps onto one’s chest, spins around, and does a huracunrana (wrestling move where you sit on the opponents shoulders and do a back flip, and pull your opponent down). The slayer falls hard. Connor gets up, and runs out of the room.

Scene 6:

Connor is running across a room, he trips a wire, and a cage falls on him. He easily lifts it up, but it buys enough time for the slayers to catch up to him. He throws it down on the floor, just missing the closest one’s feet. He turns and runs through the door way, but gets a punch in the face, and falls down. Lisa stands there, with a grin on her face.

Connor pulls out a knife, and throws it into her thigh. She lets out a moan, and falls down. He runs past her, and down a narrow hallway. He jumps, just as a pole comes racing towards his abdomin, and flips over it. He continues, and makes his way out.

Scene 7:

Connor walks back into his dorm room, and is surprised to see Lisa, sitting in a chair. "You’re quick," he says. "A transportation device," Lisa says as she holds up a charm. "Looks expensive." She gets up, and limps over to him. She puts an arm around him. "You passed you know." "Passed?" "Yeah, passed the test. You can now join us. That is if you like." "So you have decided to take no for an answer?"

"Unfortunatly, yes. Seems if that is your decision, we have no choice. Even if we think it’s a mistake." "Well I’m sorry to disappoint you, but I work alone."

She turns to him, and smiles. "But alone is no fun. Think of the fun of hanging with hundreds of girls all day." "Sounds like I’d have to memorize alot of names." "Just mine. So do you know any place we could go party?" "Shouldn’t you be resting?" She gives a dirty look. "Besides, I have, you know, studying to do." "Shame," she says with a coy smile, and walks out the door.

However, she comes back in. "Oh, I almost forgot this," she says, taking his knife out of her pocket, and puts it on the nearest table. "Thanks." "No need to thank me, just buy me a cup of coffee." "perhaps another time." "Then a good bye kiss?" she says moving close to Connor. He smile, and puts his arms around her. However, he moves his hands up to her face, and suddenly snaps her neck. Electrical sparks fly, and the cyborb falls to the ground.

Connor shakes his head, "like I couldn’t smell you weren’t human." The phone rings, and Connor turns his attenion to it.

Scene 8:

We see Willow & Buffy looking into an orb. "You’re robots failed" states Buffy. "Not really," replies Willow. "The point was not only to bring Connor to us, but to test these newer models. I’d say they held out better then last years model. Buffy smiles, "these will help save alot of lives on the front line."
