        21     INT. HOTEL ROOM - EVENING                               21

               Chris, Danyael, and Twist sit in the hotel room, comparing
               notes as Twist tucks into a Chinese takeaway and danyael
               starts on another bottle of beer.

                                   CHRIS 
                         So, nothing on the manager?

                                   DANYAEL
                         Not even a parking ticket. But I
                         did, however, possibly find
                         something on the owner.

                                   TWIST
                         And the plot thickens, Holmes…

                                   CHRIS
                         Who's the owner?

                                   DANYAEL
                         We've yet to meet this character,
                         but his name is Clayton Likens.

                                   CHRIS
                         What did you get?

                                   DANYAEL
                         I've got a reliable source that
                         says that is extremely possible
                         that our friend, Mr. Likens, is
                         convening with an outside source
                         and could even be working alongside
                         them to single out bar patrons.

                                   CHRIS
                             (nods)
                         I've seen this kind of racket
                         before, the front person, or
                         people, single out likely suckers
                         and then let the heavies rob them
                         later.

                                   TWIST
                         Where was this information
                         yesterday?

                                   DANYAEL
                             (shrugs his shoulders)
                         I know a lot of people. It took me
                         a while to get around to speaking
                         to each one of them.

                                   CHRIS
                         This makes a little more sense. The
                         girls trust everyone at the bar
                         with their lives, but it seems like
                         they've been sadly wronged. We'd
                         better get down there as soon as
                         night falls.

                                   TWIST
                             (holds up takeaway box)
                         Can I finish my Hoi Sin Chicken
                         first?

               Chris grins as he stands, heading over to his bag, and Twist
               happily gets back to eating. We cut to:

        22     INT. NIGHT CLUB - NIGHT                                 22

               The team enter the room to find the three girls siting
               silently in their usual corner booth. They make their way
               over to the table, the girls immediately sensing that Chris
               is bringing bad news. Lucia stirs an untouched cocktail
               listlessly.

                                   CHRIS 
                             (to Lucia)
                         I may have some more information.

               We can see that the girls have been crying.

                                   CHRIS (cont'd)
                         What's wrong?

               Grace holds up a video cassette tape, and we cut to:

        23     INT. NIGHT CLUB - DRESSING ROOM - NIGHT                 23

               Everyone huddles around the small television in the dressing
               room as Lucia puts the tape into the VCR. 

               The screen starts to become fuzzy before a shot of the
               missing girl, Violet, comes onto the screen. The camera zooms
               out to see her surrounded by a group of hideous looking
               demons, all looking as Lucia described before. 

               None of them speak. Instead, they hold up a sign simply
               reading "WE WANT MORE." The screen remains the same for a few
               moments before simply fading back to darkness. 

               The three sit for a moment in silence.

                                   CHRIS
                         'We want more.' What is that
                         supposed to mean?

                                   DANYAEL
                         I don't know. It could be…

               As Chris and Danyael speak, Twist stands watching intently
               until she suddenly sways unsteadily on her feet, pressing a
               hand to her head. 

               The other's haven't noticed, but twist's eyes suddenly open
               wide, glazing over, and we WHITE OUT to:

        24     INT. DEMON HIDEOUT - NIGHT                              24

               We're inside the hideout we just saw on the video, but
               everything is out of focus, the camera swinging lazily from
               side to side and all the scene's colours oversaturated.

               The group of demons on the video are standing around the
               imprisoned girl, VIOLET, who is laying upon the ground. She's
               sobbing, exhausted and weak.

                                   VIOLET
                         Please, just let me go!

               None of the demons reply.

                                   VIOLET (cont'd)
                         What do you want with me?

               One of the demons reaches down and backhands her, and as the
               blow connects we suddenly pull back and out of the room at
               terrific speed.

        25     EXT. OUTSIDE THE DEMON HIDEOUT - NIGHT                  25

               There are several demons standing guard outside an old,
               dilapidated house.
               The house appears to be in seclusion somewhere in the
               countryside. We focus a lone tower that she's sure they
               passed on their way into town, before we WHITE OUT again and
               find ourselves back in:

        26     INT. NIGHT CLUB - DRESSING ROOM - NIGHT                 26

               Twist snaps back into reality and interrupts Chris and
               Danyael's conversation.

                                   TWIST
                         I know where they are.

                                   CHRIS
                             (blinks)
                         What? How?

                                   TWIST
                         I, uh, saw something on the video
                         that I recognized.

                                   CHRIS
                         From the room they were in?

                                   TWIST
                         Yeah. Uh, we gotta go. 'Scuse me.

               Twist quickly walks out of the room, leaving Chris and
               Danyael staring at each other in confusion.

                                   TWIST (O.S.) (cont'd)
                         There's no time to explain, we've
                         got to get there, now!

               Chris and Danyael share a look, then start to follow her out.
               Lucia and the other two girls stand up too.

                                   CHRIS
                         You girls should really stay here.

                                   LUCIA
                         Our sister is in trouble, and we're
                         not going to simply sit here when
                         there could be a chance that we
                         could help her!

               Chris is searching for an excuse to keep them there, but is
               unable to come up with one.

                                   CHRIS
                         Alright, but if anything starts
                         happening, I want you three to take
                         the van and come back into town.
                         Alright?

                                   LUCIA
                         Deal. We were planning on leaving
                         the fighting up to you three
                         anyway, but we'll help out any way
                         we can.

               The six of them exit the bar.

        27     EXT. OUTSIDE NIGHT CLUB - NIGHT                         27

               The six hurriedly pile into the van with Twist getting into
               the driver seat. She guns the engine, and once everyone is
               inside she smokes the tires as she pulls away, sending
               Danyael stumbling over as the van rockets away.

        28     EXT. ROAD OUTSIDE OF THE CITY - NIGHT                   28

               The van tears down a seemingly deserted road.

        29     INT. CHRIS'S VAN - NIGHT                                29

               Chris looks out and around, then glances uncertainly at
               Twist, who grips the steering wheel tightly, determination
               blazing in her eyes.

                                   CHRIS
                             (uncertain)
                         Are you sure this is the right way?

                                   TWIST
                         Yes.
                             (beat)
                         Sort of.

                                   LUCIA
                         'Sort of?'

                                   TWIST
                             (snaps)
                         Would you just back off? I'm trying
                         to help you guys out!

               That gets Lucia's back up, and she reacts angrily.

                                   LUCIA
                         It looks like all you're doing is
                         taking us farther away from wh-

               As she is speaking, Twist stands on the brakes, sending
               Lucia, who was leaning towards her, into the floor, hitting
               her head on the back of the seat.

                                   TWIST
                             (almost laughing)
                         Oops! Sorry.

                                   CHRIS
                         Twist, that was unnecessary.

                                   TWIST
                         Oh, but it was.
                             (pointing up ahead)
                         There's the place.

               Chris gets out and jumps atop the van to get a better view. 

               He sees the demons standing guard outside, and with a
               surprised look turns to tell the others.

                                   CHRIS
                         I don't believe it!

               He jumps back down from the van and leans back through the
               passenger side door.

                                   CHRIS (cont'd)
                         She was right.

                                   TWIST
                         Did you ever doubt me?

                                   CHRIS
                             (smiling)
                         Not for a moment.
                             (more seriously)
                         It looks like there are four guards
                         that I can see from here, there are
                         probably a few more around back.
                         The best route that I can see
                         taking right now would be through
                         the back, if we're quick we can be
                         inside before anybody knows we're
                         even here.

               Chris grabs his katana from beneath the seat, and Twist
               cracks her knuckles, looking forward to the fight as she
               retrieves her baseball bat.

               Chris turns in his seat to address Danyael.

                                   CHRIS (cont'd)
                             (to Danyael)
                         You don't mind staying here and
                         keeping an eye on the girls do you?

                                   DANYAEL
                         Not at all.

                                   TWIST
                             (to Chris)
                         You ready?

                                   CHRIS
                         Twist, I was born ready.

                                   TWIST
                         Funny, I was born naked and
                         screaming…

                                   CHRIS
                             (to the sisters)
                         We'll be back with your sister in a
                         few moments.

                                   LUCIA
                             (to Chris)
                         Good luck!

                                   TWIST
                         We don't need luck, lady. We're
                         just that good.

               The duo leap out of the van and race away, the girls watching
               them go.

                                                             BLACK OUT:

                                      ACT FOUR

                                                               FADE IN:

        30     EXT. DEMON HIDEOUT. NIGHT.                              30

               Chris and Twist hop over a fence that runs parallel to the
               road and sits just on the other side of the ditch. 

               They slowly start to make their way through the trees and
               thickets that surround the house. Thorns are poking and
               scratching them both as they creep onwards the house.

               One snags one Twist's top, and she grimaces.

                                   TWIST
                         Ow!
                             (more quietly)
                         I'm thinking that maybe we should
                         have gone through the front.

                                   CHRIS
                         And ruin the element of surprise?

                                   TWIST
                         Element of surprise my ass, I liked
                         this top, and now look at it!
                         Surprise killed my t-shirt!

               Chris doesn't look particularly sympathetic as he starts
               moving on.

        31     EXT. BEHIND THE DEMON HIDEOUT - NIGHT                   31

               They continue slowly towards the house until they are barely
               outside of view, in the shadows just within the tree line.

                                   CHRIS
                         We're going to need some kind of
                         distraction here.

                                   TWIST
                         Let me guess. I'm the distraction,
                         right?

                                   CHRIS
                         You're really getting good at this
                         guessing game, well done!

               Twist sighs and stands up from her crouching position. She
               begins to walk noisily towards the guards; kicking things

               and rustling leaves. She sees two guards standing beside the
               back door.

                                   TWIST
                         Hey! I'm looking for a missing
                         girl. She was taken by some ugly
                         ass demons that look an awful lot
                         like you guys.

               She stands smiling as the two guards jump to their feet.
               Seconds later four more guards come from the sides of the
               house, and suddenly Twist doesn't look so confident.

                                   TWIST (cont'd)
                             (to herself)
                         Hmm, should have made that ugly
                         remark if I'd known there were this
                         many of them…

               The six demons encircle her. She stands ready for anything.

                                   TWIST (cont'd)
                         You know, I was just kidding about
                         that whole ugly thing…

               One of the demons throws a left HOOK which she ducks. 

               As she comes up, another demon's kick narrowly misses her
               stomach. She PUNCHES one demon and while swinging around,
               lands and ELBOW to the one standing beside it.

                                   TWIST (cont'd)
                         Now, now, boys! Plenty of me to go
                         around, no need to rush…

               One of the demons standing behind her manages to KICK her in
               the back, sending her to her knees. She starts to stand up,
               but before she can another one grabs her from behind. 

               She struggles to get loose, but as she does one of the others
               rush toward her. 

               She raises her legs up and lands a KICK which sends him to
               the ground. The demon still has a hold of her, and is
               attempting to sink his fangs into her neck.

                                   TWIST (cont'd)
                         Aw, come on!

               She struggles with all of her might, but is unable to free
               herself. Just before the demon can bite her, it's head
               tumbles from above her shoulder and lands in her hands.
               Without hesitating, she throws it one of the closest demon.

               Behind her, Chris draws back his blood covered katana.
               Another demon runs towards him. 

               Chris kneels down as it runs at him and SLICES through its
               stomach.

               The demon catches the head that Twist throws at it. When it
               does, she lands a jump KICK, sending it to the ground.

               Looking around quickly, she pulls her bat free from its sling
               across her back, rears back and swings a huge hit toward the
               ground, striking its head and sending a splatter of blood on
               her shirt.

                                   TWIST (cont'd)
                             (looking down at her
                              shirt)
                         Damn it!

               She stares in disdain at her shirt.

                                   CHRIS
                         Behind you!

               Without looking, she kneels down and avoids a punch. She
               swings around and lands a swing to the back of the demon's
               knee. 

               The demon falls to all fours and as quickly as it fell, she
               raises the bat up once more and hits it in the middle of the
               back, then once more in the head.

                                   TWIST
                             (in time to the hits)
                         This… was… my… best… shirt!

               She then begins to back step a few steps. As she does, she
               bumps into Chris who is doing the same thing. 

               Not knowing that it's Chris, she take a huge baseball swing
               in his direction. Chris ducks and narrowly misses the bat.

                                   CHRIS
                         Would you please start looking
                         before you do that?

               As he's speaking, she rears back for another swing. Chris
               ducks once more. Her swing barely misses the demon who is
               standing behind Chris. 

               From his crouching position, he thrusts his katana behind
               him, sticking it into the demon's stomach. He removes the
               blade and stands up once more.

                                   CHRIS (cont'd)
                         You could have told me before you
                         started to swing...

                                   TWIST
                         I knew you'd pick up on it.
                             (beat)
                         Duck!

               Chris ducks yet once more and this time Twist lands a massive
               blow to the demon's head, killing it instantly. 

               Chris stays in his crouching position looking up at her.

                                   CHRIS
                         Should I stay down for a while?

                                   TWIST
                         At least I warned you that time!
                         We're supposed to be one of those
                         finely co-ordinated teams,
                         remember?

               Chris stands up.

                                   CHRIS
                         They're sure to have heard that
                         inside. Let's go.

               They make it to the back door of the hideout. Twist turns the
               doorknob and it's locked. She looks back at Chris, who sighs
               and nods.

               Twist grins and cracks her knuckles, before taking two steps
               back, lining up with the door.

        32     INT. DEMON HIDEOUT - KITCHEN - NIGHT                    32

               The door flies open and Chris and Twist enter the house. The
               two of them look around cautiously,  but see nothing. They
               continue through the house.

        33     INT. DEMON HIDEOUT - CORRIDOR - NIGHT                   33

               As they walk down a short hallway, they walk past a door. As
               soon as they pass the door, it swings open and a demon ROARS
               and jumps from within. 

               Twist grabs the katana from Chris's hand and swings her body
               around, sending the demon's head to the floor. Chris looks at
               her and then down at his katana.

                                   TWIST
                             (shrugs)
                         It looked like fun!

               They keep walking on throughout the house.

                                   CHRIS
                         Was it?

                                   TWIST
                             (enthusiastically)
                         It really was.

        34     INT. DEMON HIDEOUT - LIVING ROOM - NIGHT                34

               Chris and Twist can see down the hallway into the living
               room. They see four more demons with the kidnapped sister. 

               As they enter the room, however, they see Danyael and the
               rest of the sisters are in the room being guarded by three
               more of the demons. 

               The lead demon cackles as Chris sighs, and the demons start
               to fan out around their captives.

                                   CHRIS
                             (to Lucia)
                         What the hell are you doing in
                         here?

                                   LUCIA
                         We got tired of waiting. We were
                         worried.

                                   TWIST
                         We've been gone for like ten
                         minutes!

                                   DEMON
                         ENOUGH! You fools shouldn't have
                         come here.

                                   TWIST
                         Yeah, well we tend to act before we
                         think. One of our bad habits. If we
                         could get to the fighting now, that
                         would be great, 'cause I'm starting
                         to cool down.

                                   CHRIS
                             (to the lead demon)
                         What are you doing with the people
                         from the bar?

                                   DEMON
                         What do you think we're doing with
                         them? The same thing that you
                         should be doing… feeding off of
                         them. Have you ever partaken of a
                         human whose soul has been cleansed
                         by these girls?

                                   CHRIS
                             (sarcastically)
                         Sadly enough, no.

                                   DEMON
                         That's quite obvious because if you
                         had, you would be alongside us
                         asking for seconds. It's like
                         nectar from the gods!

                                   CHRIS
                         I'm afraid I actually just ate, so…

               He KICKS the demon in the stomach.

               Twist is close after him attacking one of the other demons
               with a roundhouse. The demon hits the ground. She swings her
               stick once more sending him to the ground permanently.

               Chris starts to go after the head demon once more, but one of
               the others steps in his way. He takes a swing with his
               katana, but the demon blocks his attack and knocks the sword
               to the ground. 

               Chris answers with an UPPERCUT landing the demon on his back.
               He then raises leg as high as he can and brings his heel down
               swiftly upon the demon's neck.

               One of the others begins to run at Twist. She looks up and
               sees a ceiling fan. She jumps up and grabs it, swings back,
               and lands both feet on the demon's chest.

        35     EXT. IN FRONT OF THE DEMON HIDEOUT. NIGHT.              35

               The demon comes flying through the window, sending glass
               everywhere, to end up motionless on the ground.

        36     INT. DEMON HIDEOUT - LIVING ROOM - NIGHT                36

               Looking around nervously, Danyael sees a fire poker by the
               fire place. He looks at the guard next to him who is standing
               fast. 

               He grabs the poker and swings it across the demon's head. The
               demon stumbles forward a few steps. Danyael attempts another
               swing, but the demon blocks it.

               Lucia and the other two girls try to jump on the other guard.
               The guard throws them to the ground.

               Chris finally gets to the head demon and swings a right hook.
               The demon dodges it and PUNCHES Chris in the side. It knocks
               Chris back a step. The demon then lands a knee to his head,
               and Chris is flung to the floor. The demon tries a jumping
               punch to Chris's face, but he rolls over out of the way and
               is able to trip the demon over.

               Twist starts to make her way over to help Chris, but as she
               does, she hears one of the girls scream.

               She looks over and sees that Lucia is being choked to death
               by one of the guard demons.

               She looks back over at Chris who is on top of the demon with
               his hands around his throat.

               She then picks up Chris's katana and throws it across the
               room, landing it in the side of the demon who is attacking
               Lucia. The demon ROARS in pain. 

               Twist confidently walks up beside it, puts her hands on the
               wall for balance and raises her leg to the demon's head
               level. She lands the demon's throat in the back her knee. Her
               leg curls around his neck. She then thrusts her body
               backwards sending herself and the demon to the ground. 

               Her leg manages to send the demon to the ground hard enough
               to break its neck. She looks over at Lucia who is in shock.

               Danyael is still fighting with his demon. He swings again,
               but the demon knocks him back and Danyael drags the demon
               down with him. 

               While it's falling, the demon catches the sharp end of the
               fire poker in the chest. The demon lays atop Danyael for a
               moment until he slowly pushes him off.

               Chris is still strangling the demon, but it is still
               fighting. 

               With Chris's hands around its neck, the demon struggles until
               a blade is shoved between his eyes. Chris looks up to see
               Twist standing there smiling.

                                   TWIST
                         How did you survive all those years
                         without me?

                                   CHRIS
                             (breathing heavily)
                         I'm starting to wonder…

               Chris stands up slowly and looks at all the dead demons.

                                   CHRIS (cont'd)
                         Everyone alive and accounted for?

                                   TWIST
                         Yup, Team Chris with zero friendly
                         fatalities, yet again.

               The three girls are hugging their other sister and crying
               happily as Danyael walks over to join Chris and Twist.

                                   CHRIS
                             (to Danyael)
                         Kill anything?

                                   DANYAEL
                             (proudly)
                         Actually, I did.

               Chris smiles and pats him on the back. He and Danyael walk
               over to the girls.

                                   CHRIS
                         You girls ready to get out of here?

               Everyone begins to leave the house. Lucia holds back to talk
               to Twist.

                                   LUCIA
                         You could have let me die.

                                   TWIST
                         Could have, yes.

                                   LUCIA
                         Why didn't you?

                                   TWIST
                             (walking away)
                         Karma's a bitch. No pun intended.

               Lucia quickly follows behind her and puts her hand on Twist's
               shoulder.

                                   LUCIA
                         I'm really sorry for the way I
                         behaved toward you.

                                   TWIST
                         Don't worry about it. Life goes on.

                                   LUCIA
                         It does, because of you.

               She hugs Twist who is reluctant to embrace her. After a few
               beats, Twist levers Lucia away from her.

                                   TWIST
                         Alright, alright, that's enough!

                                   LUCIA
                         Thank you.

               Lucia walks through the door and outside. Twist smoothes her
               by now blood-stained and tattered clothes down.

                                   TWIST
                             (mutters)
                         I knew they were lesbians…

               As the group leave the hideout, we dissolve to:

        37     INT. NIGHT CLUB - DRESSING ROOM - NIGHT                 37

               The club is packed once more and the girls are set to go on
               stage, sitting in the dressing room talking to the team.

                                   VIOLET
                         I want to thank you all for
                         rescuing me. I may have died if it
                         wasn't for you.

                                   LUCIA
                         I want to thank you all too.
                         Especially you, Twist. I know that
                         my life would have ended last night
                         if it weren't for you.

               Chris smiles a Twist who is forcing a fake smile.

                                   CHRIS
                             (to Darrel)
                         I owe you an apology. All along I
                         had you figured to be the guy
                         behind it when it was this demon
                         gang all along.

                                   GRACE
                             (to Chris)
                         No matter what the reason, it's all
                         behind us now thanks to you guys.

                                   LUCIA
                         What are you going to do now?

                                   CHRIS
                         We're leaving town tonight.

                                   LUCIA
                         That's a shame. We could use
                         someone like you in town for good.

                                   TWIST
                         Thanks for the offer, but there's
                         no chance. If we're going to settle
                         down anywhere, it's going to be
                         back in New York. Some place with
                         plenty of chain stores.

                                   VIOLET
                         You are going to stay and listen to
                         at least one song aren't you?

               Chris looks at the others and smiles.

                                   CHRIS
                         I'm sure it wouldn't be the death
                         of us. Might even do us good!

               Twist grins back at him.
