        33     INT. BASE - FRONT ENTRANCE - NIGHT                      33

               The door to the entrance is KICKED OPEN and the team hurries
               into view, accompanied by the remaining rebel vampires.

               A guard rushes forward, GUN raised - but Twist SPIN KICKS him
               in mid-stride and promptly SNATCHES his gun.

                                   TWIST
                         Normally, I'm against violence...
                             (cocks gun)
                         But even Ghandi'd okay me on this
                         one.

               BLAM! She shoots him down as the team advance forward.
               They're all sporting cuts and wounds.

        34     INT. BASE - CORRIDOR - NEXT                             34

               The team spot several soldiers advancing from either side of
               the T-shaped corridor.

               Chris SQUEEZES his fist - and a BALL of blue energy
               MATERIALISES right in front of them!

                                   CHRIS
                         I can handle these idiots for the
                         moment. Try to find Parker. Disable
                         the laboratories!

               And the team are gone in an instant, leaving Chris alone. He
               takes a deep breath and then the ball start to FLICKER,
               FLAMES spreading across it.

                                   CHRIS (cont'd)
                             (grins)
                         Let's see what else you can't do.

               He THROWS it, just as we CUT TO:

        35     INT. BASE - LYRA'S ROOM - NEXT                          35

               In a girly but clean looking room, MUSIC plays from a small
               stereo in the corner as LYRA sits, humming the tune
               contentedly.

               However, an ALARM starts to go off - SHRIEKING and forcing
               Lyra to cover her ears.

               Behind Lyra, SHONA, who has been tying Lyra's hair into
               plaits, looks up and GULPS.

                                   LYRA
                         What's happening?

                                   SHONA
                         I don't know, but the big alarm
                         going off tells me it's bad either
                         way! C'mon!

               Shona grabs Lyra's hand, tugging her to her feet as the two
               make their way to the door in the room as we CUT TO:

        36     INT. BASE - CORRIDOR - NEXT                             36

               Twist and Vivian SNAP KICK a pair of soldiers in the chest,
               but one PUNCHES Twist in the mouth while the other WRENCHES
               Vivian's arm back, making to SNAP it.

               However, April VAULTS over one advancing soldier and SMASHES
               her foot into Vivian's soldier's head, sending him
               SOMERSAULTING.

               This provides enough distraction for Twist to SWEEP KICK hers
               and STAMP KICK on his throat. She and April exchange a smile.

                                   TWIST
                         Nice going, newbie.

               Vivian SLASHES at her soldier - DECAPITATING him and removing
               his head, THROWING it down the corridor!

                                   VIVIAN
                         Try regrowing that.

               Danyael and Mac meanwhile have their own problems - Danyael's
               own sword is currently down the corridor and Mac is being
               pummeled by a pair of SOLDIERS.

               Mac tries to fight back - but one soldier PUNCHES him in the
               chest, going right THROUGH him!

               Danyael looks up in horror as Mac, shocked, sinks to the
               ground, BLOOD bubbling from his lips.

                                   DANYAEL
                         No!!

               Danyael ROUNDHOUSE SLAMS the soldier who killed Mac - and
               Danyael's sword FLIES THROUGH THE AIR and IMPALES the
               soldier! Danyael looks up...

               ... to see Marcus sprinting towards them, having thrown the
               sword! Danyael manages a small smile before Marcus SLAMS into
               the other soldier, proceeding to beat the living crap out of
               him.

               Danyael looks down and sees the silent, still form of Mac.
               Blinking back tears, Danyael closes his eyes shut in a moment
               of peace...

               ... just as Lyra and Shona round the corner into the middle
               of the fight!

                                   LYRA
                         What's - what's happening?

                                   SHONA
                         I don't know, but right now we need
                         to get out of here.

               Warren and Luciana are bent down by Mac's body, CRYING.

                                   WARREN
                         What... what happened...?

                                   LUCIANA
                         I... I don't know...

               Luciana looks up - and then sees the disorientated Lyra and
               Shona.

                                   LUCIANA (cont'd)
                             (snarling)
                         But I bet those bitches had
                         something to do with it.

               And she speeds straight towards the two girls, SWORD raised
               and ready to strike, an equally furious Warren behind her.

               Marcus and Danyael look up and see Lyra, CALLING OUT:

                                   MARCUS
                         No! Don't!

               But Luciana SLICES her sword towards the defenceless pair,
               Shona pulling Lyra back out just in time and then to the side
               with Warren's STAB.

               Lyra, ducking another blow, puts herself in front of Shona
               protectively.

                                   SHONA
                         Lyra, you can't see! What are you -

                                   LYRA
                         Get behind me.

               And with that, Lyra starts to SCREAM! The air becomes hotter
               and hotter in an instant, SHIMMERING around the group in a
               heatwave - until Lyra SHRIEKS...

               ... and Luciana and Warren are set ABLAZE!! 

               Their dying screams last only for seconds as the swamped team
               continue to fight the soldiers off, Marcus and Danyael
               looking horrified at Lyra.

               Shona looks shocked at her sister and Lyra herself looks a
               little shaken...

               ... as CHRIS suddenly SLAMS INTO FRAME, hitting the wall with
               a CRUNCH!

                                   CHRIS
                         Okay, so that doesn't kill all of
                         them...

               He gets up, dusting PLASTER off his coat... when he spots
               Lyra. His expression deepens as we CUT TO:

        37     INT. TOWN - TUNNEL - NIGHT                              37

               A single BEAM OF LIGHT cuts through the darkness as Rosheen,
               Merielle and their mini squad walk quickly along the
               underground tunnel.

               The sounds of battle ECHO above them and the squad look up, a
               little nervously, but trudge onwards.

               After several beats, Rosheen consults her map and then turns
               right...

        38     INT. TUNNEL - RIGHT TUNNEL - NEXT                       38

               And right in front of them is a large heavy steel DOOR,
               obviously the end of the line for them.

                                   ROSHEEN
                             (sighs)
                         I don't suppose anyone's got a key,
                         have they?

               However, Merielle steps forward.

                                   MERIELLE
                         You said this was built in the
                         Fifties, right?

                                   ROSHEEN
                         Yeah...

                                   MERIELLE
                         Which means that they probably
                         haven't updated their security.
                         Which also means...

               Merielle leans forward, gripping the door handle - her hand
               MORPHING into a CLAW.

               The squad take positions, hands MORPHING into claws also and
               start to LIFT the door. It CREAKS for several beats... 

               ... but then starts to MOVE, the team eventually placing to
               one side and then jumping through the hole.

        39     INT. TOWN HALL - BUNKER - CONTINUOUS                    39

               The team land and find a large ROOM, lit with only
               fluorescent lighting and containing mostly ancient supplies.
               However, a FRIDGE, a COMPUTER and a large RADIO are the
               modern amenities.

               However at one end of the room is a DOOR - and it OPENS,
               revealing three occupants who step in, facing the team.

               It's Conall, Bevin and SCAR, all of them SMIRKING with
               confidence.

                                   ROSHEEN
                         Conall.

                                   CONALL
                         Rosheen. And oh look, it's your
                         little squad.

                                   SCAR
                         Really? I thought they were a
                         snack.

                                   MERIELLE
                         Okay, I'm taking that one.

               And with that, Merielle LEAPS OVER the table in the room and
               PUNCHES him square in the face! He staggers a little and then
               CLOCKS her twice in the face with his elbow.

               Rosheen KICKS Conall right in the chest, but Bevin SPINS her
               around and BACKHANDS her across the room and right into the
               fridge which EXPLODES its contents all over the ground.

               Bevin giggles, testing her hands as Rosheen gets to her feet.

                                   ROSHEEN
                         How...?

                                   CONALL
                         Let's just say that the good doctor
                         has been making sure that we get
                         our vitamins.

                                   ROSHEEN
                         The genetic...

               BANG! Bevin DROP KICKS her, but Rosheen HEADBUTTS her,
               SPRAYING BLOOD.

                                   ROSHEEN (cont'd)
                         Nuh-uh. No interrupting a lady.

                                   BEVIN
                         Sure. Show me a lady.

               A Black Fur goes down as Scar BREAKS HIS NECK viciously. A
               female White Fur is repeatedly PUNCHED by Bevin before Bevin
               withdraws a KNIFE from a sheath on her leg and STABS the
               female in the heart!

               Rosheen sees this and fury overtakes her as she lays into
               Conall, striking a blow for each one she receives.

               She DIVES, avoiding a punch from Conall, and SMASHES the
               table, SPLINTERS spraying everywhere.

               Grabbing a table leg, she HURLS it at Conall who blocks it -
               and then receives a DEEP SLASH from Rosheen's SWORD!

               Bevin and Merielle are now facing off - just as Merielle
               ROUNDHOUSE KICKS Bevin in the chest. 

               Bevin grabs Merielle's leg and TWISTS it, forcing her to SPIN
               DOWN, SMACKING DOWN painfully onto the floor as we CUT TO:

        40     INT. ABANDONED BUILDING - NEXT                          40

               The surviving Furs are still fighting off the grey wolves.
               Dermot FLOORS several in one go, SLAMMING a blood-stained
               FOOT into their chests until something CRACKS.

               Siobhan is bravely fighting, her claws SLASHING left and
               right knocking back opponents, blood SPRAYING violently
               around the room.

               However, she's SPUN AROUND to face Dermot who hands her a set
               of KEYS.

                                   DERMOT
                         We're not gonna last much longer. I
                         want you to get to the van and get
                         the hell out of here.

                                   SIOBHAN
                         I'm not leaving you here to die!

                                   DERMOT
                         Someone has to let the Furs know.
                         And we both know that we're
                         probably not gonna make it out of
                         here.
                             (beat)
                         The staircase back there leads up
                         to a roof window which you can
                         slide down to and get in the van.

               A teary Siobhan NODS after a long beat and then LEAPS onto
               the staircase, the fight masking her disappearance.

               She shares one last look with Dermot before her resolve kicks
               in and she departs, leaping up the stairs quickly.

               Dermot sighs, sharing a look at the rapidly decreasing number
               of Furs left.

                                   DERMOT (cont'd)
                         Let's take out as many as we can,
                         people.

               And with a renewed honor, the Furs start SLICING and KICKING
               even harder as we SMASH CUT TO:

        41     INT. BASE - BUNKER                                      41

               Rosheen gets SLUGGED in the face by Conall who follows it up
               with a punishing HOOK KICK which floors her for the moment.
               Conall stands over her, mockingly upset.

                                   CONALL
                         Could it be? Has the mighty Rosheen
                         bitten off more than she can chew
                         playing with the big boys?

               He turns, turning his attention back to the other Furs... to
               find Rosheen, bloodied and bruised, but still kicking.

                                   ROSHEEN
                         Dad always said I had a big mouth.

               She SPITS a mouthful of BLOOD at him and then wipes the back
               of her hand across her mouth.

               Conall PUNCHES her clean in the face, but she DUCKS a second
               punch and GRABS the radio, SMASHING it across his face.

               He YELLS in pain, but Rosheen sees the carnage around her.
               Merielle is taking on Bevin, but is CRYING out in pain at her
               latest assault.

               Four Fur BODIES are laid on the floor, leaving only Rosheen,
               Merielle and a Black Fur and a White Fur left standing!

                                   ROSHEEN (cont'd)
                             (to Furs)
                         Fall back! Retreat!

               The Furs pause, but then do as she says, leaping through the
               hole in the wall. Rosheen's the last to go, as she looks
               back, looking angrily at Conall who's LAUGHING in a sick kind
               of delight.

               He SCOOPS one of the cans of SODA that have fallen to the
               ground and POPS it, liquid spraying everywhere as he downs
               the drink.

               Bevin and Scar SMIRK beside him as we PULL BACK from the
               hole...

        42     INT. ABANDONED BUILDING - NEXT                          42

               As Rosheen's team rush through, immediately getting caught up
               in the fray! Rosheen goes to help Dermot.

                                   ROSHEEN
                         What happened to holding them back?

                                   DERMOT
                         It's kind of hard, y'know, without
                         reinforcements.

                                   ROSHEEN
                         Wait. Where's Siobhan?
                             (beat)
                         No. Please, no...

                                   DERMOT
                         I sent her back to the base to
                         report this. She's too young to get
                         involved in this.

               Rosheen NODS, SCISSOR KICKING a grey wolf and SNAPPING its
               spine!

                                   ROSHEEN
                         Then we're here to the last.

                                   DERMOT
                         Looks like.

                                   MERIELLE
                         Uh... guys? Is it me, or is it
                         getting brighter?

               Merielle indicates one of the half-broken windows in the
               fragile old building - in which the sky indeed appears to be
               getting lighter...

               BOOM! The back wall EXPLODES in a SHOWER of BRICKS and
               PLASTER as the VAN REVERSES right into the grey wolf crowd,
               KILLING dozens!

               Rosheen and Dermot look up - and it's SIOBHAN at the wheel!

                                   DERMOT
                             (pissed)
                         I said go back to the camp!

                                   SIOBHAN
                             (yelling)
                         Since when have I listened to you?
                         Now get in!

               A grinning Rosheen runs around to the back of the van and
               opens it, the battered Furs survivors piling in quickly.

               Rosheen and Dermot pile in front and Siobhan hits the gas,
               the van REVERSING out, leading the grey wolves to give chase.

        43     INT. BASE - CORRIDOR - NIGHT                            43

               Chris advances towards Lyra, hands reaching out to her.

                                   CHRIS
                         Lyra...

                                   LYRA
                         Chris? What are you doing here?

               Lyra starts to back away, hands out in front of her
               protectively.

                                   LYRA (cont'd)
                         Stay away from me.

                                   CHRIS
                         Lyra, please. I just want to talk -

                                   LYRA
                         No! No, you can't do this! You have
                         to go and leave me alone!

               Lyra backs away even further, Shona wrapping a protective arm
               around her.

                                   SHONA
                         You! You're the British bastard who
                         came after her the last time!

                                   TWIST (O.S.)
                         Hey.

               Twist steps into frame, blood over her clothes and Duggan in
               her hand.

                                   TWIST (cont'd)
                         That's Mr. British bastard to you,
                         whoever you are.

                                   SHONA
                         I'm Lyra's sister.

               Twist GOGGLES at this - but then a soldier FIRES at her,
               forcing Twist to dive to the ground to avoid a spray of
               BULLETS that pepper the walls.

        44     INT. BASE - LABORATORIES - NEXT                         44

               Vivian, Danyael, April and Helen are busy tackling soldiers
               in the laboratory.

               Helen and April SMASH various tubes containing brightly
               coloured chemicals, even as soldiers SHOOT at them.

               Danyael SMASHES his sword across a soldier's face - but the
               wounds are already starting to HEAL.

                                   DANYAEL
                         Oh, I really hate it when they do
                         that.

                                   VIVIAN
                         Not as much as I hate it when they
                         seem to appear from mid-air with
                         big guns.

               Vivian SHOVES Danyael out of the way as MACHINE GUN FIRE
               BLASTS a hole right where Danyael was!

                                   DANYAEL
                         Thanks.

                                   VIVIAN
                         Next time, look up.

               However, more and more soldiers are appearing and Danyael
               signals to the two rebel vamps.

                                   DANYAEL
                         There's nothing we can do here.
                         Let's regroup with the others.

               Helen and April NOD and the four of them rush back towards
               our team...

        45     INT. BASE - CORRIDOR - NEXT                             45

               Just as Marcus PLUNGES a claw THROUGH a soldier's chest,
               WRENCHING a large portion of his chest away!

               Marcus flings the piece of human flesh away and then SMASHES
               his leg into the path of an incoming soldier, SLASHING the
               soldier from neck to navel in mid-air at the same time.

               Chris is still advancing gently towards Lyra, whilst being
               tugged away by Shona.

                                   LYRA
                         Chris, I mean it! I need to stay
                         here! There's still a lot more I
                         need to -

                                   CHRIS
                         Lyra, please! We need you!
                             (beat; softer)
                         I need you.

               Lyra, wavering, shakes her head after a beat.

                                   LYRA
                         I'm sorry, but no. I can't.

               Chris walks towards her - and Lyra HUMS, conjuring up a
               mystical FORCEFIELD, blocking Chris from her.

               He POUNDS on the forcefield as Lyra and Shona retreat,
               hurrying away to safety, but then stops after a long beat.

               Turning back to the team, he looks as Twist WRESTLES with
               another soldier - PUNCHING him painfully as Vivian, Danyael,
               Vivian and the rebel vamps catch up, TACKLING the next wave
               of neo-soldiers.

                                   CHRIS
                         Gegorua.

               A jet of DARK FIRE rushes the soldier - and he SCREAMS as
               he's INCINERATED! Twist pulls herself up, checking her
               clothing and hair. She's fine. Relieved.

                                   MARCUS
                         Chris, we can't stay here any
                         longer. We have to retreat.

                                   VIVIAN
                         We're getting slaughtered here!

               Chris looks down the corridor and Twist lays a hand on Chris'
               shoulder.

                                   TWIST
                         I know you wanna go convince Little
                         Miss Sunshine that she's all 'Team
                         Us', but this isn't the time.
                         People are dying and we need to
                         regroup.

                                   CHRIS
                         Fine.

               And then the team's off, moving down the corridor. Twist
               stops and grabs another GUN, COCKING it in childlike glee.

                                   DANYAEL (O.S.)
                         Twist! Put the big shiny gun down!

               She frowns and then hurries away as we:

                                                             BLACK OUT:



                                  END OF ACT THREE
                                      ACT FOUR

               FADE IN:

        46     EXT. TOWN - NIGHT                                       46

               Grey wolves are CHEERING as the night goes on, the BODIES of
               Black and White Furs being feasted upon. Pieces of meat are
               torn and devoured in a disgusting ferocity as we PUSH IN on
               the Town Hall.

               The double doors OPEN and the grey wolves look up, GRINNING
               delightedly as Conall, Bevin and Scar emerge, bloody and
               victorious.

               CHEERS and CRIES of joy sound out throughout the crowd of
               wolves as Conall steps out fully.

                                   CONALL
                             (calling out)
                         My brothers and sisters,
                         congratulations on one of our
                         greatest victories! We have fought
                         the best the Furs could throw at
                         us... and we have defeated them!

               The JEERING starts to continue, mingling with the
               celebrations as a smiling Conall retreats back to the steps.

               Tyler is waiting on the large marble steps of the town, along
               with a group of grey wolves, all dressed in battle fatigues
               and with TRACK MARKS on the insides of their arms.

                                   CONALL (cont'd)
                         I want you to follow the survivors
                         back to their camp. Attack them
                         while you're still active, and
                         we'll follow up with everyone else.

                                   TYLER
                             (nods)
                         Agreed, sir.

                                   CONALL
                         One condition. When you attack,
                         leave me Keegan. The rest you can
                         kill.

                                   SCAR
                             (confused)
                         Why Keegan? Why waste energy on
                         that old bastard?

                                   CONALL
                         I have my reasons.
                             (to Tyler)
                         As I've said, the rest you can
                         kill.

               Tyler and his goons smirk, practically licking their lips, as
               they move off and through the crowds towards a pair of BLACK
               VANS.

               Conall sighs, rubbing his eyes wearily - it's been a long
               night. Then he turns to Bevin, KISSING her softly before
               retreating inside the Town Hall.

        47     INT. TOWN HALL - FOYER - NEXT                           47

               The lighting's still only emergency but it's enough to see by
               as Conall sits down on a stair of the large staircase that
               divides the foyer.

               He rummages around in his pockets and then retrieves a CELL
               PHONE. Pressing a number into speed-dial, he presses the
               phone to his ear as it dials...

                                   CONALL
                             (grins; into phone)
                         Dr. Parker.

                                                       INTERCUT WITH:

        48     INT. BASE - OFFICE - NIGHT                              48

               PULL ALONG a cosy fire, ample bookcases and warm, comfortable
               surroundings to find DR. PARKER sat there by the fire. One
               hand holds the phone while another mixes a glass of WHISKEY
               from a large decanter.

               However, he looks pale and tired, MOANING when he shifts in
               his chair, clear discomfort written all over his face.

                                   PARKER
                         Conall, my lad. How are things?

                                   CONALL
                         I just wanted to call and
                         congratulate you. Your latest serum
                         worked amazingly well in battle.

                                   PARKER
                         'Battle'? You've been having a wee
                         bit of trouble on your end?

                         Rosheen and Dermot showed with a
                         group of Furs, wanting to try and
                         end this before it'd even begun.
                             (beat)
                         They were massacred. The majority
                         of them are currently providing my
                         best troops with a nice supper.

                                   PARKER
                             (nods)
                         Good. I had a bit of trouble
                         myself. Christopher and his little
                         team came here aiming to cause some
                         damage but ended up losing a few of
                         their rebel vampire friends.

                         So we can assume this was a planned
                         double-assault?

                                   PARKER
                         Well, it cannae be coincidence now,
                         can it?
                             (beat)
                         A toast, my boy. To us.

                                   CONALL
                         To the future, Doctor.

               Parker SIPS his whiskey as we CUT TO:

        49     INT. BASE - LYRA'S ROOM - NEXT                          49

               Lyra and Shona, now tidied up, are relaxing once more as
               music continues to float gently in the background.

                                   LYRA
                         I remember when I was thirteen and
                         it was Christmas, and Parker gave
                         us those ridiculous -

                                   SHONA
                         Oh, God! Those boxes with the...

               Shona GIGGLES, Lyra joining in - but Lyra's amusement quickly
               fades. Shona notices this as Lyra's face becomes a mask of
               concentration.

               After a beat, Lyra stands, cocking her head to one side and
               listening.

                                   SHONA (cont'd)
                         Lyra? What is it? What can you
                         hear?

                                   LYRA
                             (beat)
                         I'll be right back...

               Barefoot, Lyra leaves the room, feeling her way through and
               closing the door behind her.

        50     INT. BASE - CORRIDOR - NEXT                             50

               Lyra, retracing her steps from last time, stops - clearly
               remembering something - before turning left and standing
               right outside Parker's study.

               Leaning towards the door, Lyra listens as we PUSH THROUGH the
               door and back into:

        51     INT. BASE - OFFICE - NEXT                               51

               Resume.

                                   PARKER
                         And once we've eliminated the Furs,
                         you and I will tackle the direct
                         problem of Christopher Berkeley and
                         his assortment of freaks.

                                   CONALL
                         I agree. There's something I've
                         been meaning to take up with that
                         bitch he's been hanging around
                         with.

                                   PARKER
                         Vivian Taylor? You'd be doing the
                         world a favour by doing what should
                         be done with a useless animal, and
                         putting her down.

                                   CONALL
                         Do you have any more need for the
                         team, or is it an old fashioned
                         execution?

                                   PARKER
                             (grins)
                         I do have a soft spot for the old
                         fashioned...

                                   LYRA (O.S.)
                         No!

               The doors OPEN with a SMASH - quite literally FLYING off
               their hinges - and reveal Lyra stood there, shocked.

                                   LYRA (cont'd)
                         No! You can't do this! You can't
                         kill them!

                                   PARKER
                             (tiredly)
                         Lyra, both you and I know they're
                         causing more harm than good in the
                         world.
                         Eliminating them in the quickest
                         way possible can help make the
                         world a much better place.
                             (beat)
                         I promise they'll be taken care of
                         in the most humane...

                                   LYRA
                         They don't need to be 'taken care
                         of'!
                             (sighs)
                         I thought I could get through to
                         you. I honestly thought you'd shown
                         some good inside you, and that all
                         I needed was more time to - 

                                   PARKER
                             (snaps)
                         Lyra! I don't have to justify
                         myself to you. My actions are my
                         own and I will not be talked down
                         to by some...

               However, Lyra SPINS and SCREAMS - sending the wreckage of the
               doors SOARING towards Parker!

               He manages to HIT THE DECK but by the time he's hauled
               himself up, Lyra's gone. Within seconds, neo-soldiers have
               arrived beside him.

                                   SOLDIER #1
                         Sir? Shall we... restrain her?

                                   PARKER
                         Stop her. She can't leave the base
                         under any circumstances.

               The soldiers nod, COCKING their guns and SPRINTING away as we
               CUT TO:
