SCENE 1
A darkened alley way. Angel, Chance, and Sasha are creeping down it, glancing about carefully. A trash can tips over infront of Angel, and she jumps back into Chance. He helps her straighten up, and grins at her. DOLLY SHOT: OUT The part showing freezes on the TV. The Master muses to himself.]

This is not good.
[FADE OUT
FADE IN
Angel, Chance and Sasha are sitting in a Land Rover, blind folded. Hunter is driving, Colleen is next to him. Hunter pulls onto a dirt road, and drives down into some trees. Hunter is wearing baggy black jeans, a white adidas tee-shirt with the flower logo. Colleen is wearing overalls, with a hunter-green tee-shirt, and her hair is up in a pony tail. Angel is wearing baggy blue cargo jeans, and a blue one-half length sleeve shirt, and she's wearing white framed mirrored oakleys. Chance is wearing warm-up materials khaki colored cargos, a gray long sleeved shirt, and a red Abercrombie & Fitch shirt with a gray silk screen dragon on front. Sasha is wearing tight blue jeans, a tight white shirt, and a blue fleece zip up sweater over. The scene quickly turns into a jungle looking scene. Colleen turns around and pulls of the blind folds. Angel glances around.]
ANGEL
[awed]
Jungleness...
[Hunter pulls up to a huge white four story house, and turns the car off.]
HUNTER
[turns, smiles]
Welcome home guys!
CHANCE
[american accent, awed]
Whoa, Hunter! This is all ours?
HUNTER
[nods]
It's your head quarters. And training center.
SASHA
[cynical]
Kinda small isn't it?
ANGEL
[turns to her]
Pull that stick out of your butt! This place is huge.
SASHA
[cynical]
My old-
ANGEL
[mocking]
Master...[obnoxious noises] he he he. Well he's your old master! Deal!
SASHA
[attitude]
Excuuuuse me!
ANGEL
[snorts]
Shut your pie hole!
HUNTER
[eyes widen]
You guys fight like this-
CHANCE
[smiles]
All the time. You gotta get used to it.
HUNTER
[nods]
Obviously!
[They all pile out of the car, and walk up to the house. Hunter hands Chance the key, who opens the door. The entry way is gray marble with white ribbons in it. The walls are a light airy gray, with white trim. Angel walks back, and turns to the right and sees the kitchen. It is very high tech, but cozy. The walls are painted bright yellow, with white trim, and the counters have yellow, blue, green and white patterned tiles in them. The floor is yellow tile, and each tile brick is outlined with white. The fridge is white, and next to the fridge is a little back table/desk/counter. On it is a lap top computer, phone, and a bunch of tracing equipment. Angel walks back towards the entrance way, and goes up the wide stair case that spirals loosely. She sees that the whole second floor is just for Chance, very masculine, she sees a second stair case, and she runs towards it and up it. The next floor is Sasha's, with a green and white motif. In the back corner of a hall way there was a tight spiral rot iron stair case. she ran up, and was met with an open contemporary loft, with slanted ceilings, and sky lights. The whole area was blue and white, varying blue hues from room to room.]
ANGEL
[grins]
I like my room!
[She heads back downstairs, and greets all the rovers in the kitchen. She shakes her head.]
ANGEL
[glancing around]
This place is nice!
HUNTER
[grins, nods]
Thanks. The master figured that y'all need a place to yourselves.
[Angel walked over to the refrigerator, and opened it. She glanced inside it, and pulled out a Coke. She popped open the top, and took a swig.]
SASHA
[glancing around degradingly]
Why'd he wanna give us this shack?
ANGEL
[whipping around]
What the hell is your problem?
SASHA
[shrinks back]
What?
ANGEL
[angry]
Ever since I got stuck with you riding my ass, you've been a total pain! I swear, nothing is good enough for the mighty Sasha!
HUNTER
[stepping in-between them]
Chill, Angel.
ANGEL
[turning around]
Fine. Whatever.
[She walks into the den, and flips on the T.V. Chance follows her in and sits next to her. Sasha watches them, eyes narrowed.]
HUNTER
[turning towards the foyer]
We'd better go. The Master's expecting us back. If y'all need anything, just call. Kay?
SASHA
[even]
We can manage.
[Hunter and Colleen exit. Sasha pretends to be busy in the kitchen but silently watches the two in the den.]
CHANCE
[shakes his head]
OK, you know what. This is a stupid show.
ANGEL
[snorts, offended]
'Scuze you, buster! This is kewl. Road Rules rules!
CHANCE
[shakes his head]
B.S.
ANGEL
[glances at him sideways]
Yeah...whatever.
CHANCE
[smiles]
You are too funny.
ANGEL
[grins]
Bolgna! [pronounces it the way it is spelled: Bowl-og-na]
CHANCE
[sighs]
Ok...I'm gonna pretend I don't know you.
ANGEL
[shouts, goofy]
Crunchy Monkey!
CHANCE
[standing up]
Oookay...
[He walks into the kitchen, and sees Sasha bending into the under-sink area. He examines her tail closely and grins.]
CHANCE
[to Sasha]
Hey.
[Sasha stands, and smiles enticingly at Chance.]
SASHA
[smiles]
Hey yourself.
CHANCE
[nods]
Did you notice anything good in the fridge?
SASHA
[grins]
It looks like there's some pizza, but I don't know if you really want three day old pizza.
CHANCE
[nods]
How do ya know it's three days old?
SASHA
[grins]
The date of delivery on the box.
CHANCE
[smiles]
Oh.
[Sasha walks towards him, and puts her arm over his chest, and lays her head on his shoulder.]
SASHA
[inviting]
Why don't we go out tonight?
[Angel walks into the kitchen.]
ANGEL
[excited]
OOO! Let's go to that one place, uh....Monica's Casa de Comida! I heard from Hunter that they've got really good shredded beef fajitas!
[Sasha shoots Angel a dirty look.]
SASHA
[stuck up]
I was thinking some thing French.
[Angel wrinkles her nose.]
ANGEL
[disgusted]
Escargots? Gross!
SASHA
[grins]
Then you don't have to go, do you?
ANGEL
[snorts]
And let you two go on a date unsupervised? I don't think so sista!
SASHA
[Walking past her over to the desk area]
Who said it was a date?
CHANCE
[worried]
Date? Uh-no.
SASHA
[whirling, hurt]
Why not? [realizing her mistake, coy] Are you afraid I might take advantage of you?
CHANCE
[shakes his head]
Well-no...
SASHA
[butting in, grins]
Good, then go change into something more formal!
ANGEL
[flashing a hurt look at chance]
I guess I'll stay here and order Monica's. I feel the need for heartburn!
[Angel turns and walks into the family room, and flops down on the love seat. Chance watches her ruefully. He walks past her, and she sticks her leg out trying to trip him. He sits down next to her.]
CHANCE
[sighs]
Monica's sounds good, but French sounds better, sorry Angel.
ANGEL
[smiles]
Quit being sweet. You might strain something.
CHANCE
[hits her playfully]
I'll bring you back some FRENCH fries. OK?
ANGEL
[shakes her head]
Yo necesito comer papas fritas, porfavor.
CHANCE
[confused]
What's that mean?
ANGEL
[grins]
I need to eat French fries, please.
CHANCE
[rolls his eyes]
Always the internationalist huh?
ANGEL
[nods]
Si, paco senor.
[FADE OUT
SCENE 2
FADE IN
Later that night. Chance and Sasha were sitting across from each other, and Sasha is talking loudly. People in the restaurant keep looking at her strangely. The door opens, and a male German shepherd cano-sapien walks in. Chance watches with curiosity. He didn't think any other canos were in the area. The shepherd's name is Fritz. He holds his hand out, and to Chance's amazement his hand is taken by Angel's. She comes in. She looks astonishing. She's wearing a strapless floor length forest green gown, with a silver chain, and an emerald pendant on it. Her shoes are high heeled green sandals, and she has silver hoops on her ears. She was laughing. Chance watched as the shepherd spoke to the maitr'd. They were seated at the table right next to Chance and Sasha.]
ANGEL
[leaning over]
Small world, ain't it?
CHANCE
[even]
I thought you didn't eat French food?
ANGEL
[smiles]
What can I say. I never back down from a dare. Especially not one from this goof here. [motions at Fritz] Chance, this is Fritz, he and I have been friends forever. I saw him wandering around when I took my nightly run, and I recognized him immedeatly. He looks better fully K-9 though.
FRITZ
[flirting]
Yep. Way back since we got stuck in herding class together, up at Broadstone.
ANGEL
[flirting back]
Pure torture.
FRITZ
[smiles]
The class?
ANGEL
[shakes her head]
No dear, you.
CHANCE
[rolls his eyes]
Ah...puppy hood-
SASHA
[flitting eyes at Fritz]
Well, when I was a puppy, I went to Grand Sage Boarding Kennel. I was taught in six different lang-
ANGEL
[butting in]
Ask me if I care.
[Fritz smiles. Chance shoots Angel a disbelieving look, and she shrughs and shakes her head.

SCENE 3
FADE IN
The Drian's Island. Taba is watching a round pool full
of some kind of fluid. She whirls and stalks out of the room. She enters Phynx's chamber and bows before him.]
TABA
[fuming]
Akraya has betrayed us.
PHYNX
[confused]
What? What do you mean?
TABA
[calming herself]
Akraya has fallen in love.
PHYNX
[even]
You're sure?
TABA
[nods]
I saw it in the pool. In a resteraunt.
PHYNX
[nods]
We'll put a stop to this. No one betrays us. Call in Stephanie.
[Taba exits, and returns with Stephanie. Stephanie is dressed in white form fitting jeans, and a tight black tee-shirt.]
STEPHANIE
[questioning, bowing before Phynx]
Yes, Lord Phynx?
PHYNX
[even]
The Guardian is gaining power. We need you to stop her. The Council is losing patience in our ability. We need to prove that we can take the Guardian and make her our own. Can you handle it?
STEPHANIE
[nods]
Yes, my lord.
PHYNX
[turning around]
Good. Taba, go with her.
TABA
[nods]
I will.
[The two girls exit the room. Phynx walks over to his own little pool thingie. He gazes into it, and sees Angel laughing. He turns and points his finger at a picture of her on the wall. A ray of light explodes from his finger, and hits the picture dead on, creating a flame. He growls at himself.
FADE OUT
SCENE 4
FADE IN
In a ware house filled with boxes. A double door opens, and Angel and Chance run out. A group of guys clad in metallicy suits follow them out, shooting laser guns at them. Angel ducks behind a box. An instant later it explodes in fire. She jumps back. She raises her left hand over her head, and brings it down in a circle around her, creating a blue beam of light. She brings both hands above her head quickly, and smashes them down.]
ANGEL
[shouting]
WAVE OF LIFE!
[A huge tidal wave crashes down all around the baddies.]
CHANCE
[nods]
Not bad. [glances around] Where's Sasha?
ANGEL
[frustrated]
We don't have all day to look for her sorry-
CHANCE
[sighs]
Angel, chill.
ANGEL
[whirling around]
No! She treats me like crap, and I don't have to take it! It's not like she's the leader of our little outfit!
CHANCE
[nods]
You're right but-
ANGEL
[angry]
Let's go. We'll find her and then we'll jet.
[Chance stands there looking at her. He looks away quickly.]
CHANCE
[shy]
Sure.
[They run out a door, and down a long hall way. Out of a door in front of them four guys with laser guns emerge.]
ANGEL
[muttering]
The hall's too small for all of us, and one of our attacks.
CHANCE
[glances at her]
Use your staff.
[Angel smiles. She puts both hands in the are and 'claps' them together. Quickly she widens the gap between them, and a thick silver stream of water appears. She grabs the staff, and pulls it down.]
GUARD ONE
[confused]
How'd she do that?
ANGEL
[grins]
Magic sweetie!
[She jumps forward and hits the first guard in the stomach. One of the other guards drops his gun and grabs her arm. He flips her over his shoulder. Chance thrusts both his hands forward, palms out.]
CHANCE
[shouting]
Lightning Strike!
[A steady barrage of green lightning bolts shoot from his hands, hitting everything infront of him, including Angel. All the humans drop down on the ground, and Angel just looks totally fried. Her hair is 'crispy' and she gives Chance a disparing look.]
ANGEL
[sarcastic]
Thank you, so much.
CHANCE
[grins]
No problem.
[Angel shakes her head and enters the door from where the guys had come. Chance hears an "Ack!" He runs to the door and peers inside. He sees Taba standing next to Angel and Sasha, who are tied up.]
CHANCE
[unbelieving]
Taba....
TABA
[loudly]
Well done Akraya.
ANGEL
[struggling]
Wrong dog lady, that's Chance.
[Taba leers at Angel.]
TABA
[sarcastic]
Sure. Akraya, [turns to Chance] you will be greatly rewarded.
ANGEL
[realizing]
Chance...?
CHANCE
[looking away, meek]
I-I...don't want to be apart of the plan any more Taba.
TABA
[whirls]
What?
CHANCE
[looking up, stronger]
Forget it! I won't help you hurt her!
ANGEL
[confused]
Do I feel stupid? What's going on?!
TABA
[angry]
Don't toy with me little boy.
CHANCE
[walking forward, pushing Taba away]
Angel, Sash, come on, we're out.
TABA
[even]
Well then- my own star student is turned against me. Have it your way.
[Taba releases Angel and Sasha, and they both fall to the floor. Angel and Sasha stand shakily. Taba disappears with a flash of blue light. Chance hurries over to Angel and helps her up. He then turns to Sasha.]
CHANCE
[worried]
Are you two OK?
SASHA
[latching onto Chance's arm]
I'm fine.
ANGEL
[even]
You work with the Drians?
CHANCE
[glances down]
I was a Drian.
ANGEL
[wobbly]
Why didn't you ever tell me?
CHANCE
[sighs, looks back at Angel]
I was going to, but-
ANGEL
[angry]
But what? You wanted to get your merit badge in being a double crossing bastard?
CHANCE
[reaches out towards Angel, pulling her closer]
No, Angel, no...
ANGEL
[pulling away]
How could you do this to me?
SASHA
[blunt]
Quit being so dramatic, he said he was sorry.
ANGEL
[turning to Sasha, growling]
Stick your stupid stuck up nose back into your own business girl, otherwise you could get hurt.
CHANCE
[sighs]
Angel, please, I'm trying to explain-
ANGEL
[angry]
Well too bad! I'm not listening. Get the hell away from me, and never talk to me again. I can't believe you! God, damn! The Drians, the shits that took my little girl away! Chance! [sighs] I hate you.
CHANCE
[angry]
Listen to me! I never wanted to hurt you! I was supposed to get you myself, but then-
ANGEL
[crying]
You and your stupid friends took my little girl away and you expect me to forgive you?
CHANCE
[even]
I had nothing to do to with that...
ANGEL
[stronger, points to the door]
Get out.
CHANCE
[confused]
But-
ANGEL
[even]
Get out, leave. I never want to see you again.
SASHA
[grabs Chance's arm]
Let's go.
[Chance follows Sasha, but watches Angel the whole time. As he exits the room he mouths "I'm sorry" Angel sighs heavily, and sinks to the floor, sobbing. Taba reappears, with Stephanie.]
TABA
[smiles]
You and your little boy toy have a fight? Boo-hoo.
ANGEL
[whirls around]
Go to hell.
[Angel notices Stephanie and gasps.]
ANGEL
[breaths raggedly]
Stephanie?
STEPHANIE
[grins]
The one and only.
ANGEL
[shakes her head]
Whoa. You are so much older...
STEPHANIE
[nods]
I know.
[Taba jumps forward onto Angel, who grunts. Taba snaps two blue glowing bands on her wrists. She then places a collar on her, with a metallicy metal box]
ANGEL
[angry]
Hey! What's the dealio?
STEPHANIE
[smiles]
Phynx and the Council want to meet you.
ANGEL
[scared, struggling]
No! Leave me alone!
[Chance bursts back in the room. He sees Angel wearing the blue bands, and turns to Taba.]
CHANCE
[angry]
I will not let you take her!
[He brings both of his hands above his head, and he brings them down, making a "T" with his body. He brings his hands together, and with his two index fingers pointing at Taba shouts "BY THE POWER OF GOD GIVE ME THE STRENGTH-" Taba thrusts her hand at him, and opens her fist. Chance goes flying backwards, and into the wall. Taba smirks, and along with Angel and Stephanie disappear. Sasha enters.]
CHANCE
[falls to the ground, and pounds it once with both fists]
NOOOOOOOO!!!!
SASHA
[kneels down, puts her hand over his shoulder]
It's OK.
CHANCE
[angry]
No it's not! I basically set this whole thing up!
SASHA
[grins]
I think you're very brave being a double agent and all.
CHANCE
[blunt]
You would.
SASHA
[indignant]
What the hell's that supposed to mean?
CHANCE
[walking out]
Nothing.
[FADE OUT
