FADE IN
INT. THE CHURCH
SAMANTHA pushes the doors open to the CHURCH as REMNANTS all turn and stare at her with their BLANK FACES, SAMANTHA not looking afraid as she marches inside walking past them with a SUBMACHINE GUN in her LEFT HAND, a 9MM BERETTA in her RIGHT as she walks by the REMNANTS and then pass the VAMPIRES, who don't even look her way, and then WEREWOLVES, who don't acknowledge her either as they were captivated at the sight on the ALTAR.
SAMANTHA comes to the front of the ALTAR as SHANE and FRANKIE are standing side by side, smiling at her as she stands before them UN-afraid.
SHANE, dressed in robes as was his sister, looks at her with a soft expression, almost a hint of concern.
SHANE
It is very brave of you to come here alone, should I expect RYAN or the others to pop in with some surprise attack?
FRANKIE
Because that would be ill advised...
SAMANTHA watches as some REMNANTS appear behind the YATES with CHARLES and JARED tied up and thrown onto their KNEES in by them, SAMANTHA not flinching as CHARLES and JARED look at her confused as she stares the YATES down, not even bothering to look their way.
FRANKIE
You are trying to be tough for you comrades, I respect that, but as we have all seen before, this will only lead to someone leaving this earth.
SAMANTHA
You're done talking.
FRANKIE
What?!
SAMANTHA
You're brother is the one I want to talk too.
FRANKIE
How...
SHANE
FRANKIE...
FRANKIE looks at SHANE who holds a hand up at her, FRANKIE shaking as SHANE smirks at SAMANTHA.
SHANE
Speak.
SAMANTHA
You killed a lot of innocent people...an entire town...turned them into mindless drones...into monsters with no free will...you killed ADAM...turned him into a monster...you killed VICKY JAYMES...an innocent young woman who got caught up with the wrong people...you then try not once...but twice...to open a gate to allow this BEREAVED....This father of all darkness...so I only have one question I suppose...
SHANE
And that being?
SAMANTHA
Why do you want to bring the BEREAVED here, when you just as easily can do what it can?
SHANE
What...
FRANKIE
Brother...kill her!
SHANE
Be quiet FRANKIE!
SAMANTHA
Think about it...you can create monsters, you took over an entire town and transformed it for your own gain...you are messiahs right? You are the BEREAVED...in theory...why would you allow something to come and control you too...when you could be the one controlling everything?
FRANKIE
You bitch!
FRANKIE takes a step forward but SAMANTHA aims at her, SHANE stepping in front of FRANKIE as FRANKIE is thrown off.
SHANE
Sister...she has a point.
FRANKIE
She does not! She is twisting things!
SHANE
Of course she is...but we can be the most powerful beings in the world! We can be the BEREAVED...
FRANKIE
This is absurd brother! The BEREAVED made us, it molded us out of its image, we are it and it is us, we cannot turn on it, we must bring it here! We must allow it to live out of the darkness, to escape the VOID, to be god!
SAMANTHA
You're just scared...that's why I asked your brother and not you...
FRANKIE
You fucking bitch!
SHANE
FRANKIE!
The DOORS to the CHURCH kick open, SHANE and FRANKIE looking behind SAMANTHA as SAMANTHA froze, her eyes bugged out with horror.
RYAN
Heregy Heregy Motherfuckers!
SAMANTHA
Oh god no...
RYAN
Sorry to crash the party!
SAMANTHA turns slowly with rage burned into her face as RYAN trots towards her, RYAN holding his .45 in hand as SHANE and FRANKIE watch on with angry scowls.
SHANE
So that was your plan? Try and anger me to the point that I would turn against my sister, seeking some sort of god complex? It was a good thought process.
RYAN
Yeah yea, I'm guessing I did not miss much then?
SAMANTHA
You asshole!
RYAN
Bitch you knocked me unconscious! You had this coming.
SHANE
Kill them all!
RYAN
Hold on!
Everything halts as RYAN gets up onto the ALTAR, SHANE and FRANKIE looking at him confused as RYAN faces the MONSTERS and SAMANTHA, RYAN stomping his foot as CHARLES notices a BLADE pop out of the back of his BOOT, RYAN shaking his leg as he shimmy's the KNIFE out and then kicks his leg back before pacing about, CHARLES watching as the KNIFE slides across the ALTAR and towards CHARLES, who looks about to see if anyone noticed it.
RYAN
Don't think for one second that you have the drop on us! You are just slaves to these TWO (pointing to the YATES) So if you think you can take us all out then go on ahead, try it...but I have to say one thing...
RYAN looks at SAMANTHA and winks as who looks at him confused as SHANE and FRANKIE YATES watch him suspiciously.
RYAN
...You're not the only with a merry band of monsters...
RYAN turns and fires a round into FRANKIE'S HEAD, SHANE screeching as he knocks RYAN across the room, SAMANTHA firing at SHANE and watches the bullet sail through his HEAD as she turns to open fire at the CHARGING MONSTERS but as she does EVERY GLASS WINDOW and DOOR bursts open as WEREWOLVES poor inside, SAMANTHA jumping back in horror as the WEREWOLVES, led by MARVIN begin attacking the REMNANTS, VAMPIRES, and SLAVE WEREWOLVES, the MONSTER ONSLAUGHT BEGINNING to tear the CHURCH apart as SAMANTHA turns to see FRANKIE punch her across the face, SAMANTHA spinning as she flies back sixteen feet and crashes into a pew, CHARLES flicking the KNIFE up as JARED grabs it and turns, slitting the REMNANTS THROAT that was holding him as CHARLES turns and kicks the REMNANT away before JARED tosses him the KNIFE, CHARLES stabbing the REMNANT in the head as JARED runs over and grabs his 9MM as CHARLES holds onto the KNIFE.
RYAN shakes the cobwebs off as he stands, but SHANE grabs him by his throat and slams him against the wall as SHANE hears the chaos ensuing behind him.
SHANE
You are beginning to be a thorn in my fucking side!
RYAN'S eyes begin to pop and bulge out as he is being choked to death, but RYAN notices a SHADOW beginning to rise behind SHANE, RYAN trying to call out as SHANE is suddenly thrown to the side, ADAM grabbing RYAN as RYAN catches his breath as ADAM pushes him out of the corner.
SHANE stands and grabs ADAM, RYAN aiming at SHANE as he hears the GUN pin point in on SHANE, RYAN preparing to fire but not before TWO REMNANTS grab a hold of him, RYAN falling down as his GUN is knocked away, RYAN punching one of the REMNANTS off as suddenly there is a loud SHOTGUN BLAST, RYAN screaming as she grabs his EARS, AUSTIN appearing as the SCATTER SHOT had killed both REMNANTS, AUSTIN helping RYAN up as RYAN grabs his .45.
AUSTIN
You alright?
RYAN
Go help MARVIN...!
AUSTIN
The WEREWOLF LORD?!
RYAN
AUSTIN...! Trust me..
AUSTIN shakes his head but nods as he runs and fires another round that kills TWO VAMPIRES as a WEREWOLF looks at AUSTIN confused before turning and tackling another VAMPIRE away from AUSTIN, AUSTIN firing again as JARED runs off the ALTAR, tackling FRANKIE who was clubbing away at SAMANTHA, but as soon as he knocked her off balance, she quickly recovers and kicks JARED in the chest as he rolled onto his back, JARED spinning as he slides across the ground and hits a wall, JARED screaming as he feels his ribs break.
FRANKIE turns and SAMANTHA punches her across the face, SAMANTHA throwing punch after punch as FRANKIE reels but just smiles as she grabs SAMANTHA and tosses her again, SAMANTHA rag dolling onto the ALTAR as FRANKIE steps up and walks towards her.
FRANKIE
You're going to pay for everything you've done you bitch...
FRANKIE comes over and pulls out the DAGGER, SAMANTHA watching as she begins stabbing the HEARTS that were placed about the ALTAR again, SAMANTHA standing up and quickly tackles FRANKIE down as the PORTAL suddenly opened up a bit, SAMANTHA trying to knock the DAGGER out of her hand but as she does FRANKIE stabs down, hitting SAMANTHA in the top part of her leg, SAMANTHA screaming as FRANKIE pushes her off and stands, FRANKIE stabbing the last heart as the PORTAL blooms open in a violent current, SAMANTHA wincing as blood gushes out of her WOUND as FRANKIE turns and licks the blood off the blade.
FRANKIE
Seems to be that this is where you end...and we finally begin...
FRANKIE screams as CHARLES stabs her from behind in her SPINE, FRANKIE screaming as she knocks CHARLES backwards with a sharp strike backhand, as FRANKIE turns back, to SAMANTHA, SAMANTHA looking on shocked as FRANKIE stabs down only for RYAN to fire from his .45
RYAN watches as the BULLET hits FRANKIE in the HEAD, FRANKIE freezing up as SAMANTHA stands in pain and slides across the ALTAR as she stands up and rips the DAGGER out of FRANKIE'S HAND, SAMANTHA screaming as she stabs the DAGGER into FRANKIE'S HEART.
RYAN watches as FRANKIE SCREAMS IN-humanly as SAMANTHA digs the blade in, SHANE looking over as he knocks ADAM aside, SHANE watches as FRANKIE looks at him with teary eyes before she begins dissolving into DUST, SAMANTHA pulling the DAGGER out as she looks to see SHANE appears and backhands SAMANTHA, SAMANTHA falling over as she goes limp, the DAGGER flying out of her hand as RYAN aims at SHANE but is grabbed and tossed towards the PORTAL, RYAN sliding but stops himself from going through as he was a few inches away from being tossed into the PORTAL.
SHANE sneers as he grabs the DAGGER and comes over to SAMANTHA, flipping her onto her back as he looks at RYAN who staggers to stand.
SHANE
My master will come and you will all pay!
SHANE brings the KNIFE down but AUSTIN fires from the FOUR BARRELLED and blows SHANE backwards, SHANE sneering as his arm has been blown off, AUSTIN standing up at the ALTAR as he grabs SAMANTHA and pulls her away as SHANE stands and screams, RYAN tapping him on the shoulder as SHANE turns and begins throwing punches, hitting SHANE with viscous blows but SHANE shakes it off and knocks RYAN back with one ARM, AUSTIN turning to fire but SHANE backhands AUSTIN off the stage, SAMANTHA slumping back down as SHANE grabs his arm and puts it against his torso, the ARM BURNING BACK INTO PLACE as a SHADOW suddenly appears and pulls SAMANTHA into the DARKNESS, SHANE grabbing the DAGGER before noticing SAMANTHA was gone.
SHANE screams and comes over to RYAN, kicking RYAN across the face as RYAN reels as SHANE grabs RYAN by his collar and hoists him up.
SHANE
All I need is one sacrifice to bring him here...and I suppose you will do..
RYAN watches as SHANE raises the blade, RYAN aiming his .45 behind SHANE and fires.
SHANE looks at RYAN confused as RYAN looks at SHANE, SHANE shaking his head as laughs.
SHANE
That was your big stand? Shooting a round behind me?
RYAN
Who says I missed?
The BULLET suddenly curves as it hones in on SHANE, RYAN watching as SHANE bucks as the BULLET hits SHANE in the back, causing him to release RYAN.
RYAN spins around SHANE and fires a few more rounds into SHANE'S ARM, SHANE screeching as he is turned in front of the PORTAL as he drops the DAGGER, RYAN scooping it up as RYAN goes and stabs forward, SHANE grabbing his hand before the blade could connect.
RYAN shakes as SHANE snaps his WRIST, RYAN screaming as he drops the DAGGER, RYAN being forced onto his knees as SHANE hoists the DAGGER up.
SHANE
You played a good game...but you...
THE SHADE
(O.S.)
Don't be an idiot! Just do it!
RYAN grabs SHANE and head butts the MONSTER, CHARLES watching as MARVIN knocks a VAMPIRE away by snapping its neck, JARED stirring as he looks up to see RYAN hitting SHANE closer and closer to the PORTAL, AUSTIN coming over as RYAN grabs the DAGGER still in SHANE'S HAND.
RYAN
Looks like me and you are going for a ride...
AUSTIN
RYAN!
RYAN
Hasta la vista motherfucker!
RYAN stabs SHANE with his own hand, SHANE gasping as RYAN slowly pushes the DAGGER into SHANE'S CHEST, RYAN grabbing SHANE by the back of his head before he pushes himself forward with all his might, CHARLES calling out for him as RYAN and SHANE disappear into the PORTAL.
AUSTIN and JARED come over in shock as CHARLES stands, MARVIN and the surviving WEREWOLVES looking about as MARVIN watches as the remaining forces for the YATES have been completely eradicated, MARVIN looking on surprised as AUSTIN watches as the PORTAL continues to be open.
AUSTIN
Why didn't it close?
JARED
Like RYAN was really someone of pure heart...
CHARLES
Well what do we do? We can't let this stay open...
NICK
We'll close it.
The THREE turn to see NICK and KRIS suddenly appear through their own temporal gateway that NICK had created.
NICK comes over to the PORTAL as he begins air waving a seal that was beginning to formulate in a green shimmering light, KRIS humming a incantation, as NICK comes over to CHARLES, CHARLES stepping back as NICK cautions him and slides his thumb over CHARLES'S WOUND, NICK doing the same with AUSTIN and JARED.
NICK comes over and before he can dab the blood onto the SEAL a GUN is placed into the back of his HEAD.
NICK looks to see SAMANTHA holding a gun to him, ADAM standing by her side as the two had appeared from out of the SHADOWS.
NICK looks at her, holding his arm still.
SAMANTHA
Bring him back...
NICK
Who?
SAMANTHA
RYAN...
KRIS
You can't be serious...
SAMANTHA
I'm dead serious...
NICK
And why would I do something like that?
SAMANTHA
Because Unlike you...RYAN sacrificed himself without wanting to come back...without playing us...you played us...you knew how to come back and your sacrifice wasn't true...I may not care much for RYAN...but he doesn't deserve this...and I know you can bring him back...
NICK
Even if I could...
SAMANTHA
You're still a person...and this bullet...(cocks) Is close enough that it will not miss. Bring him back.
KRIS
NICK...this is up-surd!
SAMANTHA
You're next, asshole.
AUSTIN
SAMANTHA...
SAMANTHA
He can bring him out of that darkness...I know he can...isn't that right ADAM?
ADAM
Yes.
SAMANTHA
Do it.
NICK nods and reaching down he dabs a finger into her wound, before he slices his own hand open, NICK chanting as he looks about before sticking his arm through the PORTAL, NICK looking at SAMANTHA who keeps the GUN on him, NICK nodding before he pulls his arm out of the PORTAL, RYAN'S HAND appearing as NICK begins pulling RYAN out of the PORTAL, AUSTIN, JARED and CHARLES coming over to help as RYAN looks about frantically.
RYAN
He's got my...!
As they almost pull RYAN out a MONSTEROUS ARM is gripped onto RYAN'S LEGS, RYAN trying to shake and kick it off as the OTHERS try and pull him off, SAMANTHA firing into the PORTAL as the MONSTROUS ARM holds on for a few moments before RYAN is able to kick it off, AUSTIN and JARED falling backwards with RYAN on top of them as NICK quickly brings up the seal, KRIS chanting as the MONSTROUS FORM begins to step out of the PORTAL, AUSTIN, JARED, and CHARLES pulling up their weapons as they begin firing rounds at it as NICK was quickly creating the insignia, The FORM of a GIANT creature beginning to step through as NICK presses the SEAL. Nothing happening.
NICK
I need more blood...
RYAN stands and wipes his forehead slapping NICK'S HAND.
RYAN
Close that goddamn thing, now!
NICK presses the SEAL again, this time watching as the GREEN SEAL sails forward and begins wrapping and enveloping the PORTAL, the MONSTROUS CREATURE beginning to screech and scream as NICK steps back along with everyone else who watch on as the SEAL was beginning to dissolve the PORTAL, RYAN watching on stone faced as the PORTAL completely closes and dissipates.
There's a faint sign of relief as RYAN notices MARVIN and the other WEREWOLVES heading out, MARVIN directing other WEREWOLVES to carry their fallen and wounded.
RYAN
MARVIN...
MARVIN
Save it, RYAN...We'll meet again...
RYAN
Friend or Foe?
MARVIN
That's up to the universe, isn't it?
MARVIN heads out as SAMANTHA limps over to RYAN, RYAN turning to her as NICK and KRIS begin to head out, AUSTIN, JARED, and CHARLES aiming at them as they stop, NICK turning to face SAMANTHA who looks at him sternly.
NICK
I did what you asked...it's in your best interest...
SAMANTHA
Killing you is in my best interest...but I'm sure we'll be seeing you again...
KRIS
You're damn right...
SAMANTHA
So then I'll kill you next time...
NICK
You always were smart, SAMANTHA.
NICK and KRIS continue on before stopping by RYAN, RYAN and NICK eying each other as NICK extends a hand, RYAN shaking it begrudgingly.
NICK
I'm sure it felt like home there...huh?
RYAN
Be seeing you...
NICK
Indeed.
NICK and KRIS disappear into a rift that NICK quickly creates as they disappear.
AUSTIN sets the FOUR BARRELLED DOWN as he comes over and looks about before he turns to SAMANTHA and holds his hand out.
AUSTIN
Get that leg healed up, be seeing you.
SAMANTHA
You're heading out already?
AUSTIN
This threat has been handled. I'm glad we were able to all come together and finally stop this nightmare...but there are still things out there that will threaten to destroy us all...my brother...is still out there...I've given as much time as I could..but I must go. RYAN...
AUSTIN turns and shakes his hand.
AUSTIN
Good luck my friend, I am glad you're alright.
RYAN
Take care AUSTIN.
AUSTIN nods and heads off as JARED and CHARLES come over to SAMANTHA.
SAMANTHA
You guys okay?
JARED
As long as you are, I know I'm fine.
SAMANTHA
CHARLES?
CHARLES
I've been better....could use a doctor's visit...
SAMANTHA
Glad you're okay.
CHARLES
Me too.
JARED
We're going to go call in MTF...
JARED and CHARLES head off as ADAM comes over and touches her shoulder, SAMANTHA looking at him as he nods and suddenly begins disappearing into DARKNESS.
SAMANTHA
ADAM! Don't go...
ADAM
I'll see you again...two years...remember...you two owe me...
SAMANTHA
ADAM...
ADAM
Thanks for everything.
SAMANTHA watches as ADAM dissipates into the DARKNESS, leaving only RYAN and SAMANTHA.
RYAN comes over and goes to land his hand on SAMANTHA'S SHOULDER but she turns quickly with a scorned look.
RYAN
Look I know you're mad at me...
SAMANTHA
I'm beyond mad right now...I'm beyond mad because I had them pull you out of there....and I shouldn't have.
RYAN
Whoa...What?
SAMANTHA
I made NICK pull you out...and I wish now...with the benefit of hindsight...that I left you in there.
RYAN
Of course you would...you're a heartless bitch. A shrew with a twat made for a dying polar bear.
SAMANTHA
You're a monster, RYAN. You may be a person...you may hunt actual monsters...but you're an evil, horrible, non caring, un emotional gigantic dick. You're an insufferable asshole, and the best thing...the greatest accomplishment that you could've ever done for the world was stay in the VOID...with things just as evil inside and out as you.
RYAN
Once again...you going off on a tangent about how much of an asshole I am isn't really that shocking...but if you really felt that way, you would have left me there.
SAMANTHA
I...
RYAN
Point being. No matter what I do, I am always haunted by what I do...the choices I make..the people I let...die to stop this evil. I'm not proud of who I am...or what I am sometimes...but I'm a monster hunter...that's what I do, and you know what, even if you don't agree, even if you do and it just kills you inside to admit it...I'm fucking damn good at it...I...nay, we...stopped these pricks not once, but twice...and you know what? If it has to be a third time, we'll stop it again, that's just what and who we are...you can take the moral high ground, even though you're definitely not perfect either...but next time you get the chance to keep me in a terrible abyss full of monsters...leave me...Cuz I'll enjoy killing them there too.
RYAN turns and heads off as SAMANTHA looks at him shaking, SAMANTHA wincing as she was alone in the CHURCH.
SAMANTHA turns and stops as NICK stands directly behind her, SAMANTHA raises her gun but NICK grabs her wrist and keeps it at her side as he leans in quickly.
NICK
There's something you should know about our good friend RYAN JAMES...
SAMANTHA watches as NICK begins whispering into her RIGHT EAR, SAMANTHA'S EYES showing the looks of confusion and fright, horror and anger.
INT. THE HANGOUT
THREE MONTHS LATER
RYAN JAMES sits in his chair, snoring loudly as his WRIST was finally healed, his NEW WEAPONRY hung up close by as HIS PHONE was vibrating like crazy.
RYAN
(O.S.)
There's a lot of things still left to do in this world...
EXT. STREET
A LURKING FIGURE stalks the STREETS, a LARGE KNIFE in hand as a few streets away, AUSTIN BLACK loads his .357.
RYAN
(O.S.)
...Like finding your kin...to stop him from murdering dozens of innocents...
INT. BASE OF OPERATIONS
CHARLES types up on a computer as it is hooked up to six screens, JARED loading a shotgun as SAMANTHA stands in her office, looking at the guys before turning her attention to the TV SCREENS where POWERFUL MEN in the GOVERNMENT are staring at her.
SAMANTHA comes over and types in on a keyboard as screen-shots of RYAN come up.
SAMANTHA
Gentlemen...There's something about RYAN JAMES I feel I need to bring up to your attention...
RYAN
(O.S.)
Or using all the resources you have to preserve your dominance as the best in the field...
INT. THE HANGOUT
RYAN wakes up as he coughs and spits out some mucus, RYAN grabbing his phone as he answers it.
RYAN
WHAT?!
RYAN rubs his eyes as he grabs a PAD and a PEN, writing down everything as he nods.
RYAN
Yeah yeah, big scary problem...monster hunting...bye...
RYAN hangs up the phone and tosses it across the room as he lays his head back down on the table.
RYAN
(O.S.)
At the end of the day...if you have a big scary problem...don't worry...I'll fix it...
THE SHADE
(O.S.)
We'll fix it...
RYAN sits up as he grabs the vile of COCAINE and takes a bump, RYAN leaning back in his chair as he looks about.
RYAN
(O.S.)
Yeah...going to be a wild ride...
