               INT. MANSION BLOODY ROOM - NIGHT

               SOFT WHITE GLOW AROUND MEGAN WITH CROWN.

               Inside the BLOODY ROOM.  The room has a DRESSER WITH BROKEN
               MIRROR FRAGMENTS ON IT, a DISH WITH ASHES, a ROLL OF BURNED
               SAGE and a SMALL BAG TIED WITH A STRING.  There's a closet, a
               messed up bed, and a footlocker at the foot of the bed near a
               window. The WALLS ARE SPATTERED WITH DARK COLORED DRIED
               BLOOD. Cautiously they enter the room.  Brianna and May shine
               their lights.  Brianna is shooting night vision video with
               her camera.  She takes a close look at the blood stains on
               the wall.

                                   BRIANNA
                         Is that what I think that is on the
                         walls?

                                   MAY
                         Bloodstains.

                                   BRIANNA
                         I think I'm going to be sick.

               Megan notices the broken glass from the mirror on the top of
               the dresser and on the little white bag. She picks up the
               sage from the dresser.

                                   MEGAN
                         Sage again.

                                   MAY
                         Someone tried to clean this room
                         too.

               Megan inspects the dish with the ashes.

                                   MEGAN
                         Incense.

               May watches. Megan reaches for the little white cloth bag. 

                                   MAY
                         Don't touch that.

                                   MEGAN
                         What is it?

                                   MAY
                         It looks like a JuJu bag.

                                   MEGAN
                         What's a JuJu bag?

                                   MAY
                         Certain religions use them to keep
                         evil spirits away.

                                   MEGAN
                         Like a good luck charm?

                                   MAY
                         Yeah, I guess.

                                   MEGAN
                         I don't think it worked.

               Brianna looks at the IMPRINT OF A CROSS ON THE WALL above the
               headboard of the bed.

                                   BRIANNA
                             (pointing)
                         There used to be a cross on the
                         wall there.

               Brianna sees large WOODEN CROSS laying on edge of bed. Megan
               looks in the closet.  Pulls a MILITARY SHIRT out. There is a
               NAME TAG AND SET OF SILVER WINGS ALONG WITH NUMEROUS MEDALS

                                   MEGAN
                         Check out the medals on this thing.

               The girls read the name on the shirt.

                                   BRIANNA
                         C-O-L Bates.  Colonel Bates.

                                   MAY
                         Mr. Bates was in the Air Force.

                                   BRIANNA
                         1947 Air Force?

                                   MAY
                         Yeah, the ring I found under the
                         sofa cushion had Roswell class of
                         1947 on it.

               Megan eyes the JuJu bag.

                                   MEGAN
                         Mr. Bates was trying to protect
                         himself from something.

                                   MAY
                         What are you thinking, Megan?

                                   MEGAN
                             (pointing at the JuJu bag)
                         Because I'll bet you this mirror
                         got broken the night he was killed.
                         And there's broken glass on top of
                         that bag.

                                   BRIANNA
                         Yeah, and there's bloodstains on
                         the wooden cross too.

                                   MAY
                         Meaning the JuJu bag and the cross
                         were here when Mr. Bates was
                         murdered.

                                   BRIANNA
                         Meaning?

                                   MEGAN
                         Meaning he wasn't trying to protect
                         himself from someone he was trying
                         to protect himself from some thing.

                                   BRIANNA
                         This place really gives me the
                         creeps.

               The three look at each other. Megan walks toward the door.
               Brianna and May stand there for a moment then realize Megan
               is leaving.  They follow her out the door into the hallway.

               Megan leads the way into the room across the hall.



               INT. MANSION STUDY - NIGHT

               SOFT WHITE GLOW AROUND MEGAN WITH CROWN.

               There's an old wooden desk.  Bookshelves against the walls
               that still have most of the books on them.  There's a few
               BLACK AND WHITE PICTURES FROM ROSWELL A.F.B. hanging on the
               walls. The girls see a photo on the wall behind the desk. The
               picture is of SEVERAL AIR FORCE MEN STANDING IN FRONT OF THE
               ENOLA GAY.

                                   MEGAN
                         It's Colonel Bates.

                                   MAY
                         In full military dress.

                                   BRIANNA
                         That's the Enola Gay behind him.

                                   MAY
                         What's that?

                                   MEGAN
                         Don't you ever pay attention in
                         history class?  That's the airplane
                         that dropped 'Little Boy' on
                         Hiroshima in August 1945.

               Brianna spots a 1947 GRADUATION PICTURE OF A YOUNG MAN FROM
               ROSWELL, NM HIGH SCHOOL.

                                   BRIANNA
                         That explains the ring May found in
                         the sofa.  Colonel Bates and his
                         family were based at Roswell, New
                         Mexico before they came here.

               May and Brianna continue to look around the room.  Megan
               takes a seat at the desk, pulls out the top right hand
               drawer, looks inside.  Still wearing the crown, she sees
               something about the BOTTOM OF THE DRAWER THAT DOESN'T LOOK
               QUITE RIGHT.  Pressing on the edge she finds a SECRET BOTTOM.
               She lifts it up and there she finds A JOURNAL.  She takes it
               out and begins to read. 
               She flips a few pages then reads again, then turns to the
               last entries of the journal and reads again. She looks up.

                                   MEGAN
                         This was Colonel Bates' journal.
                         According to it this mansion
                         concealed a secret laboratory.

                                   BRIANNA
                         Where did they hide it?

                                   MEGAN
                         The basement.

               Megan puts the journal back where she found it and closes the
               drawer.  She leads the way toward the basement door.  



               INT. MANSION - BASEMENT DOOR - NIGHT

               SOFT WHITE GLOW AROUND MEGAN WITH CROWN.

               Megan reaches for the door handle.

                                   MAY
                         Megan, remember there could be
                         something down there.

               Megan turns the door handle then pushes the door open with a
               LOUD SQUEAKING SOUND.  Before her is a flight of stairs
               leading downward into the DARK BASEMENT.  Megan starts down
               the stairs.  May and Brianna follow.  Brianna shoots video.



               INT. MANSION BASEMENT - NIGHT

               SOFT WHITE GLOW AROUND MEGAN WITH CROWN.

               The basement is a LARGE DARK SCARY PLACE with a long central
               hallway and doors to rooms at either side.  The girls move
               out into the central hallway.  Megan pushes a door open then
               looks inside. It looks like a DOCTOR'S OFFICE. May and
               Brianna look in. Megan moves to the next door, opens the
               door, looks in. Exactly like the previous room. Brianna sees
               a HOLE IN THE DOOR. She puts her finger into hole wondering
               what made it. She shines her light on the nearby wall. She
               sees SEVERAL CHUNKS KNOCKED OUT OF THE WALL and AT THE CORE A
               ROUND HOLE. She shoots night vision video of holes.

                                   BRIANNA
                         Bullet holes.
                             (tugs on May's arm, points
                              at holes)
                         Bullet holes.

               Brianna and May's eyes widen. Megan goes the opposite
               direction checking each of the rooms.

                                   MAY
                         Ahhhh, Megan?

               May and Brianna hurry to rejoin Megan.

                                   MEGAN
                         I should have known by the look of
                         the anti-personnel fence around the
                         mansion that something was fishy
                         here.

                                   MAY
                         Do you see any ghosts?

                                   MEGAN
                         Nope.

               Megan pauses at an open area, larger than the other rooms. 
               Two overturned wooden chairs lay on the floor.  Two wood
               frame walls lead up to a concrete wall at the back. She looks
               at the floor and SEES WHERE SOMETHING FAIRLY LARGE HAD BEEN. 
               She kneels down and sees SCRATCH MARKS LEADING DIRECTLY
               TOWARD THE BARE WALL. Brianna shoots video of the discovery.

                                   MEGAN
                         Something was here. Something large
                         and round and it was dragged
                         directly toward the wall.

                                   MAY
                         There's nothing there, Megan. No
                         door, just a wall.

               Megan looks at the scratches at the base of the wall then at
               the wall.

                                   MEGAN
                         Looks like it was dragged right
                         through the wall.

               Megan faces the wall then draws on the power of the crown
               until SHE GLOWS BRIGHT WHITE. Brianna tugs on May's arm.

                                   BRIANNA
                         What's she doing?

                                   MAY
                         She's trying to see beyond the
                         wall.

                                   BRIANNA
                         Oh, I knew that.
                             (shoots video of Megan)

                                   MEGAN
                             (points at wall)
                         There's a large room behind this
                         wall.

               Megan removes her crown. GLOW SUBSIDES BUT NOT COMPLETELY.
               She exchanges the white for the blue crystal.

                                   MAY
                         What are you doing, Megan?

                                   MEGAN
                         We need to get on the other side of
                         this wall.

               May looks around the room.

                                   MAY
                         There must be a hidden switch here
                         somewhere.

                                   MEGAN
                         Wouldn't matter, it wouldn't work.
                         There's no electricity.

               Brianna slowly turns shooting video.  The HOUSE GROANS then
               SEEMS TO MOVE. The girls sway back and forth, becoming more
               frightened. Suddenly Brianna freezes looking into her
               viewfinder. There before her is A GLOWING MIST WITH A GLOWING
               ORB NEAR THE TOP. She tugs on May's arm. May looks at
               Brianna's viewfinder, sees the glowing image. Megan puts her
               crown back on. LIGHT BLUE GLOW APPEARS AROUND HER. She turns
               to see what May and Brianna are looking at. 



               MEGAN'S POV

               Megan sees the GRUESOME MUTILATED GHOST of COLONEL BATES.

                                   MEGAN
                             (gasping)
                         Oh my!

               RETURN TO SCENE.

               Megan takes May's hand. The BLUE GLOW MOVES OVER HER. May and
               Brianna hold hands. The BLUE GLOW MOVES OVER BRIANNA. As it
               does the image becomes visible to them all.

                                   BRIANNA
                             (gasping)
                         I want to go home now... But I
                         can't move my feet!

                                   MAY
                             (terrified)
                         Me either!

                                   MEGAN
                         He's trying to tell us something.

               The ghost looks at the girls then at the wall.  They see his
               MOUTH MOVING and the FAINT SOUND OF A VOICE CAN BE HEARD.

                                   COL BATES
                             (softly)
                         Danger!

                                   MAY
                             (frightened)
                         He's looking at the wall, Megan!

                                   COL BATES
                             (softly, distorted)
                         Danger! Don't go! It lives beyond.

                                   MEGAN
                         Danger? Don't go? It lives beyond?

               Suddenly the HOUSE GROANS again then MOVES BACK AND FORTH
               like a slow motion earthquake.  The HIDDEN DOOR IN THE WALL
               BEGINS TO OPEN.  The girls are terrified.

                                   MAY
                         I'm ready to go home now!

                                   BRIANNA
                         Please, Megan. Let's get out of
                         here!

               The HOUSE SHAKES and begins to make a BREATHING SOUND. The
               door opens. The GHOST TRIES TO WARN THEM OF DANGER.  Megan
               looks and the door is nearly wide open. They now HEAR WHAT
               SOUNDS AND FEELS LIKE A DEEP HEARTBEAT.

                                   MEGAN
                         Time to leave!

               The BLUE GLOW around the girls BRIGHTENS THEN DIMS again.

                                   MAY
                         What's wrong, Megan?

                                   MEGAN
                         Something's wrong with the crown!

               A STRONG FORCE SUCKS THE THREE THROUGH THE DOOR into the
               hidden chamber.  The girls stumble and fall upon crossing the
               threshold of the doorway.



               INT. HIDDEN UNDERGROUND ROOM

               SOFT BLUE GLOW AROUND GIRLS

               The girls lose their grip on each other. THE BLUE GLOW
               SUBSIDES FROM MAY AND BRIANNA. Megan loses her crown in the
               darkness. THE GLOW SUBSIDES FROM HER.  May and Brianna
               SCREAM. Brianna drops her flashlight, the bulb FLASHES then
               goes out. She clutches her camera, rolling it up in her
               shirt.  They come to rest against A MOUND OF DIRT.  The light
               from May's flashlight dims. The light PULSATES then BECOMES
               BRIGHTER.  

                                   MAY
                             (gasping)
                         What happened?

                                   MEGAN
                             (finding her flashlight)
                         I don't know!

                                   MAY
                         Where's your crown?

                                   MEGAN
                         I don't know!

               HEARTBEAT AND BREATHING SOUND SUBSIDE. Megan begins to shine
               the light around the dirt covered concrete floor looking for
               her crown.  May hears whimpering sound coming from the
               darkness to her left.  She shines her light to find dirt
               covered Brianna clutching her camera inside her shirt.  Tears
               drip from her cheeks.

                                   BRIANNA
                             (weakly)
                         I saved my camera... But I lost my
                         flashlight... And I really want to
                         go home now.

               Megan finds her crown.

                                   MEGAN
                         Found it!
                             (picks it up)
                         Dirty now but it appears to be all
                         right.
                             (wiping dirt off.)

                                   MAY
                             (frightened)
                         We need to get out of here, Megan.

               Megan joins May and Brianna seated on a LARGE PILE OF DIRT
               BLOCKING A TUNNEL. May shines her light around. She sees a
               LARGE OLD GAS GENERATOR in one corner of the room.

                                   MAY
                         Where are we?

                                   MEGAN
                         Under the backyard I would guess.

               Megan shines her light on the pile of dirt.

                                   MEGAN
                         This was a cave in.

               Megan looks at the walls at each side of the pile of dirt
               then where the dirt touches the ceiling.

                                   MEGAN
                         There's a tunnel behind this pile
                         of dirt.

               HEARTBEAT AND BREATHING SOUND BEGIN TO INCREASE again.  Megan
               puts her crown back on her head.  The BLUE GLOW MOVES OVER
               HER.

                                   MEGAN
                         Let's get out of here.

               May and Brianna take Megan's hands. The BLUE GLOW MOVES OVER
               THEM as the HEARTBEAT SOUND AND BREATHING BECOME MUCH LOUDER
               now. The BLUE GLOW BRIGHTENS THEN BECOMES DIM again. SUDDENLY
               THEY ARE PULLED DIRECTLY TOWARD THEN THROUGH THE PILE OF
               DIRT. THE MALFUNCTIONING CROWN TRANSMITS THEM THROUGH THE
               PILE OF DIRT.



               INT. UNDERGROUND TUNNEL

               PALE BLUE GLOW AROUND GIRLS.

               BREATHING AND HEARTBEAT SOUND SUBSIDE again. The girls lie on
               the dirt floor of the tunnel on the opposite side of the dirt
               mound. They look around clutching each other tightly. Megan
               is still wearing the crown but the BLUE GLOW IS VERY DIM.
               Megan removes her crown. BLUE GLOW SUBSIDES.

                                   MAY
                         What's wrong with the crown?
                             (looks at dirt pile)
                         That thing sucked us right through
                         that dirt.

                                   MEGAN
                         I don't know. It's not working
                         right.

               Megan notices a SMALL OPENING AT THE TOP OF THE MOUND OF
               DIRT. She clips her crown to her belt.

                                   MEGAN
                         Unless we get this crown to work we
                         are in serious trouble.

                                   MAY
                             (looking into dark tunnel)
                         How about we try that way?

                                   MEGAN
                         I don't think we have much choice.



               INT. UNDERGROUND TUNNEL

               The girls walk through the dark tunnel.

                                   MAY
                         What's that smell?

               Their lights hit something shiny ahead. It's a METALLIC GLOBE
               SHAPED OBJECT 5-6' ACROSS and it's on the back of an OLD
               MILITARY TRUCK. They approach. Brianna tugs on Megan's arm. 
               Points at TWO DEAD SOLDIERS on ground. SKELETONS INSIDE OF
               UNIFORMS WITH RUSTED GUNS IN HAND.

                                   MEGAN
                         What happened here?

                                   MAY
                         It looks like they shot each other.

                                   BRIANNA
                         I think I'm going to be sick.

               Megan climbs up on the back of the truck taking a closer look
               at the bright metal globe shaped object.  May and Brianna
               climb up and join Megan in the back of the truck.

                                   MEGAN
                         It's a cage. They kept something in
                         this back at the lab. I remember
                         reading in the journal about some
                         kind of creature they kept in the
                         lab in a special cage.

                                   MAY
                         Where did it come from?

                                   BRIANNA
                         I know! It came from the Roswell
                         crash in July 1947. I remember now.
                         I saw it on a UFO TV special. A man
                         said a craft of unknown origin
                         crashed in the desert about 70
                         miles outside of Roswell, New
                         Mexico. There were five beings in
                         it, three dead and two were still
                         alive. They had a baby creature
                         with them. They said it drank blood
                         and had glowing red eyes.

                                   MAY
                         An alien vampire creature?

                                   MEGAN
                         It apparently got out.

               Megan inspects the ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS TO THE CAGE to see
               they lead to a GAS POWERED GENERATOR ON THE BACK OF THE
               TRUCK.

                                   MEGAN
                         Evidently they had the outside of
                         the cage electrified.

               Megan jumps out of the back of the truck. Brianna notices a
               LONG BOX ON THE BACK OF THE TRUCK AT THE FRONT OF THE BED.
               May jumps out following Megan then Brianna follows. They walk
               to the front of the truck where they find TWO MORE DEAD
               SOLDIERS.

                                   MAY
                         Do you think they were shooting at
                         the creature?

                                   MEGAN
                         That would be my first guess.
                             (looks at Brianna)
                         Can you get some video of this?

               Brianna tries but her camera flashes battery warning then
               goes dead.

                                   BRIANNA
                         The battery is dead. I just charged
                         it up before we went to the
                         mansion. It shouldn't be dead yet.

               The HEARTBEAT SOUND BEGINS again coming from a crack in the
               tunnel wall a few yards in front of the truck. The girls
               look. Their FLASHLIGHTS DIM DOWN NEARLY GOING OUT before they
               come back up again.

                                   MAY
                         Megan?  I think something down here
                         eats electricity.

                                   MEGAN
                         Ahhhh, yeah.  Girls, we need to
                         find some source of light that
                         doesn't need batteries or we are
                         going to be in the dark.

                                   BRIANNA
                         We need torches! I saw a big tool
                         box in the back of the truck.

                                   MEGAN
                         Go see what you can find. We'll
                         need a lighter, some rags and
                         something to burn.

                                   MAY
                         I'll check the gas tank on the
                         truck.

                                   MEGAN
                         I'll search these soldiers and see
                         if any of them have a match or
                         lighter on them.

               The girls set out at their tasks. May gets the gas tank open
               and sniffs it.

                                   MAY
                         It's not gas, Megan. Smells like
                         diesel oil. Old diesel oil but it
                         might burn.

                                   MEGAN
                         That's better yet.

                                   MAY
                         What do I put it in?

               Brianna, in back of truck, tosses an EMPTY NARROW NECK CAN to
               May.

                                   BRIANNA
                         Here, try this.
                             (finds some road flares)
                         I found flares too! And they have
                         strikers on the top!

               Brianna finds a LENGTH OF SIPHON HOSE and SOME RAGS in the
               box. Tosses them to May. She finds a GUN BELT WITH HOLSTER.

               Brianna loops the gun belt around her neck. There's a LARGE
               MILITARY KNIFE, a CANTEEN, a 45 AUTO CAL GUN HOLSTER and A
               SINGLE HAND GRENADE on the belt. She puts some of the FLARES
               into the holster.

               Megan finds some WATERPROOF MATCHES in the cab of the truck.
               Quickly the three siphon some fuel into the can, twist and
               shove a rag in the top then light it. The HEARTBEAT AND
               BREATHING SOUND BECOME LOUDER.

                                   MAY
                         What are we going to do? That sound
                         is getting louder and it's coming
                         from that hole down there.

                                   MEGAN
                         We are going to have to go back to
                         the pile of dirt and see if we can
                         dig our way out the top.

                                   BRIANNA
                         What about...
                             (points on down the
                              tunnel)

                                   MEGAN
                         I think that might be a bad idea.
                         It could go for miles in the dark
                         and then still be a dead end.

                                   MAY
                         Do you think?

                                   MEGAN
                         I think that cave in that sealed
                         this tunnel off at the house was
                         not an accident.

                                   MAY
                         You think the other end might be
                         the same way?

                                   MEGAN
                             (nods head)
                         Better go back and try to dig our
                         way out.

               The girls begin to walk quickly back the way they came. The
               HEARTBEAT AND BREATHING SOUND BECOME LOUDER. Looking behind
               them they see a LARGE CLOUD OF PALE ORANGE AND GRAY COLORED
               LIGHT moving toward them.

                                   MAY
                             (frantic)
                         Something's after us!

               The girls move faster nearly blowing out their torch light.
               Their FLASHLIGHTS BEGIN TO FAIL AGAIN going dim and staying
               dim. They slow down to a fast walk to keep the torch from
               going out. Megan grabs her crown from her belt.

                                   MEGAN
                         Brianna, light a flare and throw it
                         behind us.

               Megan changes the blue jewel for the red one.

                                   MAY
                         What are you thinking, Megan?

                                   MEGAN
                         The red jewel is special. It
                         doesn't draw its power from the
                         same place the others do.
                             (looks at May)
                         And who ever is wearing it is
                         invincible.

                                   MAY
                         OK, let's do that then.

               BRIANNA STRIKES THE FLARE, SPARKS FLY, THE FLARE LIGHTS. She
               throws it behind them. They move on further then finally
               Megan stops.  They all look back at the CLOUD LIKE THING
               APPROACHING them.

                                   MEGAN
                             (points at ground)
                         Put the torch here on the ground.

               May puts the torch on the ground.

                                   MEGAN
                         Everyone take a seat near it.

               Megan sits down facing the torch. They take seats near the
               torch then Megan puts the crown on. A SOFT RED GLOW MOVES
               OVER HER.

                                   MEGAN
                         Now take my hands.

               The three clasp hands. The RED GLOW MOVES OVER THEM as THE
               CLOUD ENGULFS THEM.

                                   MAY
                             (yelling)
                         Payahhhhhhhhhh!

               A GRAY MIST SURROUNDS THEM and EVERYTHING VANISHES INCLUDING
               THE FLOOR.



               INT. UNDERWORLD

               SOFT RED GLOW AROUND GIRLS

               The threesome are now seated holding hands in a place that is
               dark and forboding.  The SKY IS SHADES OF RED AND GRAY with
               BLACK CLOUDS MOVING ACROSS IT.  The GROUND LOOKS LIKE LAVA
               FLOW WITH COLORS OF GRAY AND BLACK.  In the distance they can
               see what looks like SEVERAL SMOLDERING LAVA PITS.

                                   MAY
                             (pointing)
                         There's Payah. He'll get us out of
                         here.

               Megan glances to see a MAN (GIN) walking toward them from one
               of the glowing pits.

                                   MEGAN
                         Oh no. Listen, don't believe
                         anything you see here or anyone you
                         talk to.

                                   MAY
                         Why? That's Payah. He can help us.

                                   MEGAN
                         I'd be willing to bet that's not
                         who it appears to be.

                                   BRIANNA
                         Why's that?

                                   MEGAN
                         Because we are now in the
                         underworld. A world inhabited by
                         deceitful malicious beings who
                         don't care much for the living.

                                   BRIANNA
                             (praying)
                         Oh please tell me we are still in
                         the tunnel. Oh please... Oh we are
                         all going to die right here, I just
                         know it!

               The man (Gin) approaches.

                                   MEGAN
                         What ever you do, do not turn loose
                         of my hands.

               The evil GIN approaches looking just like Payah.  He eyes
               Megan's crown, an evil grin appears.

                                   GIN
                             (in Payah's voice)
                         Hi, Megan. How about you and me go
                         for a little walk and I'll get you
                         guys out of here?

                                   MEGAN
                         He's trying to split us up, girls.
                         Don't listen to him.

                                   GIN
                             (Payah's voice)
                         Oh come on, Megan.  You do want to
                         get out of here, don't you?

                                   MEGAN
                             (looks at Gin)
                         It's kinda odd to see you without
                         your cotton candy.

                                   GIN
                         Yes. I'll get some when we return
                         home.

               The girls look at each other.

                                   MAY
                         You're right. It's not Payah.

                                   MEGAN
                         Told ya.
                             (looks at Gin)
                         You're not Payah, so who are you?

                                   GIN
                             (Payah's voice)
                         Sure I am.

                                   MEGAN
                         Where's your magic lamp?

                                   GIN
                             (screaming, deep voice)
                         Ahhhhhhhh! Damn you, girl.

               The EVIL GIN TRANSFORMS INTO HIS REAL FORM. A TOWERING BEING
               ABOUT TEN FEET TALL WITH DARK RED SKIN AND HORNS THAT CURL
               OUT OF HIS HEAD AROUND HIS POINTED EARS.

                                   MAY
                             (frightened)
                         OK, that's really scary.

               The Gin leans down near the red glow of Megan's crown and
               looks at the girls.

                                   GIN
                             (deep gruff voice)
                         Give me the crown!

               The girls jump from the sudden outburst.

                                   BRIANNA
                             (eyes closed)
                         There's no place like home. There's
                         no place like home. There's no
                         place like home.

               May glances at Brianna. Megan glares at the Gin.

                                   MEGAN
                         I know what you are.  You might
                         just as well send us home, your
                         evilness, because you are not
                         getting this crown.

                                   MAY
                         You know this guy?

                                   MEGAN
                         This is an evil Gin who was
                         banished to the underworld with the
                         fallen angels many thousands of
                         years ago.
                             (looks at Gin, yells)
                         Because he was rotten to the core!

                                   GIN
                             (furious)
                         Ahhhhhhhh!

               The Gin strikes at the girls but HIS HAND HITS THE RED GLOW
               of Megan's crown and BOUNCES BACK FLAMING. A SUDDEN BURST OF
               RED ENERGY FLASHES OUT KNOCKING THE GIN SEVERAL YARDS AWAY.

                                   MEGAN
                         See I told ya but ya wouldn't
                         listen.

               The Gin gets up, looks at his SMOLDERING HAND, and begins to
               pace back and forth.

                                   GIN
                         Look, you just give me the crown
                         and I will send you back to the
                         surface world.

                                   MEGAN
                         No. I don't believe you.

                                   MAY
                         How do you know this guy, Megan?

                                   MEGAN
                         Payah told me about him. This guy
                         wants the crown even though he
                         knows he can't even touch it
                         because he thinks that by having it
                         he can return to the surface world
                         and wreak havoc like he did before.

                                   GIN
                         I will not release you until I get
                         that crown.

                                   MEGAN
                         We'll see about that. Payah is more
                         powerful than you and he will get
                         us out of here.

                                   GIN
                             (boasting)
                         Payah wishes he commanded the power
                         that I possess.

                                   MEGAN
                         Yeah, right! That's why he's up
                         there and you're down here!

               Suddenly the evil Gin screams and VANISHES IN A BURST OF
               FIRE.

                                   MAY
                         Wow, did you see that?

                                   BRIANNA
                         What makes you think you can beat
                         him?

                                   MEGAN
                         Do you remember how the breathing
                         and heartbeat sounds became loud
                         then the crown would fail?

               May and Brianna glance at each other and nod.

                                   MEGAN
                         Then there would be a short time
                         when the sounds were distant like
                         it was resting and then they became
                         loud again and the crown would
                         fail?
                             (the girls nod)
                         I'm betting it took everything the
                         evil Gin had to bring us here. All
                         we have to do is wait him out. He
                         can't keep us here much longer.

               The sound of DISTANT SCREAMING INCREASES. The girls look for
               the source of the sounds. An AREA GLOWS RED IN THE DISTANCE.

                                   BRIANNA
                         What's that sound?

                                   MAY
                         If I don't miss my guess that's the
                         sound of a multitude of lost
                         souls... Do you want to go see?

                                   BRIANNA
                         No!

               The girls see GRANDPA FRED (GIN) approaching.

                                   MEGAN
                         Grandpa Fred?

                                   GIN
                             (grandpa Fred's voice)
                         How are you girls today?

                                   MAY
                         Well that answered that. It's not
                         your Grandpa Fred.

                                   MEGAN
                             (sighs)
                         Nope, that's not what my Grandpa
                         Fred would have said.

               Megan stares at the evil Gin. The RED JEWEL BEGINS TO GLOW
               BRIGHT RED.

                                   MEGAN
                         My Grandpa Fred isn't down here.
                         He's with God in heaven.

                                   MAY
                         That's really sad when an evil Gin
                         as old as he is isn't smart enough
                         to fool three teenage girls.

               The GIN TRANSFORMS TO HIS NATURAL FORM.

                                   GIN
                         Ahhhhhhhh!  Give me the crown or
                         I'll throw you into one of these
                         pits myself!

                                   MEGAN
                             (boldly)
                         Take a number!

               May and Brianna notice the red jewel. May looks up to see a
               POINT OF WHITE LIGHT APPEAR ABOVE THEM. Brianna looks up to
               see light. Megan watches the evil Gin. Suddenly Gin loses his
               temper and HURLS A BOLT OF DARK LIGHT AND FIRE toward the
               girls. At the same instant a BEAM OF BRIGHT RED LIGHT SHOOTS
