Angel leaned impatiently on the phone booth. The cargo plane they organized back to the U.S. was leaving in a few minutes and he had to get this message back to Giles immediately.
“Come on, come on!” he growled Angrily
Gwendolyn sat patiently next to Drogyn.
“I am confused miss Gwendolyn. How did the line of the slayers get altered?” he asked the witch
“From what I could sense at the time Incarnate organized the death of the previous Slayer then intervene the power before it could arrive at the next. As I recall the slayer power was supposed to go to a girl named Willow Rosenberg instead it ended up in miss Summers.”
“This is most troubling indeed.” Drogyn replied, “If, in fact, we are dealing with a rogue slayer who is sided with the demon then there is little chance for the world to be spared.”
“Do not despair. I sense the powers that be will aid us in our journey.” Gwendolyn replied
Buffy sat solemnly on Giles’ couch. From behind her the phone rang. Checking to see if the coast is clear she stands up and walks over. Grabbing the phone cord tightly in her hand she yanked it out of the wall making the phone silent.
“Who was that?” Giles asked as he returned from his bathroom.
Buffy shrugged.
“Wrong number,” she said lightly, “so, any word on when Angel and Drogyn are getting back from England?”
“Ah, no actually, I’m growing quite concerned he should have checked in by now. I hope everything’s alright.”
“You know Angel. Probably found some helpless person to save.”
“No answer.” Angel replied angrily as he stormed back to Gwendolyn and Drogyn.
“Then we must make haste.” Drogyn replied
As Angel and Drogyn where about to lift the coffin Gwendolyn approached the Vampire. From a pouch on her belt she handed Angel a bottle of blue energy.
“Take this, use it on Miss Summers.” Gwendolyn said
Angel examined the bottle closely
“What does this do?” he asked
“It will transfer the power of the slayer to the one who was truly called.” Gwendolyn replied
Angel nods and puts the bottle in his pocket and Helps Drogyn with the coffin.
Buffy looks out the window and sees Xander waving happily at her. Standing up nervously she moves for the door.
“Giles I’m going out for some air.” she calls out.
“What? Oh, yes, alright.” Giles replied
Buffy moved out the front of the apartment block. She ran down the steps and into the courtyard. From around the side Xander walked casually up to her.
“Hey there buff.” He says casually
“Incarnate! What the hell are you doing here I nearly got caught!” Buffy whispered angrily
“Relax I have another job for you.”
“Oh no. Not until you give me the extra power I wanted! I killed the wolf! That was the deal!”
“Well,” Xander replied impatiently, “Someone is an impatient slayer. The deal, Buffy, was that you work with me until I get my full powers back then you earn you’re extra power.”
“So I have to go back in and keep playing sad Buffy?”
“Yep. Why do you think I chose you? Nobody can play this role like Buffy Summers.”
Buffy smiles evilly
“Fine ya big flatterer, what do you want me to do?”
“Need you to distract Angels goons and the watcher till I come back with another soldier.”
“Who?” Buffy asked curiously
Xander smiled
“Let’s just say, someone who is in desperate need of a pick me up.”
Willow sat alone in her cramped apartment. She held a picture of oz and cried softly to herself. She didn’t want to leave Sunnydale but she couldn’t stay in the same room as the girl who just killed her boyfriend. Willow ran that evening through her mind constantly. She couldn’t understand how Buffy didn’t recognize a werewolf. She’s fought them before why was this time different? Maybe Buffy just didn’t want her to be happy ever so that’s why she took Xander away as well.
Oh god! Xanders a demon!
She still wasn’t willing to except that idea yet. She curled up on her bed and let the tears flow. From behind her she sensed energy.
“It’s okay baby I’m right here.” A familiar voice said from behind her
Willow opened her eye in shock. She turned over to see Oz smiling at her. Willow moved back in fright and fell off the bed. She got to her feet and backed herself against the wall. She shook her head slowly in disbelief.
“It’s cool Will. Just me.” Oz said calmly
“No, no.” she replied in shock, “You’re dead.”
“Yeah I know. But these guys called the powers that be, like, sent me back here to help you.”
Willow stared at Oz carefully.
“How?”
“They want to give you the power to help save Xander.” Oz replied excitedly
Willow dropped to the floor in shock. She breathed quickly
“Xander’s alive?”
“Yeah. Incarnate has him stashed in some cave. He’s in pain Will only you can save him.”
Willow got to her feet slowly. Her tears had long since dried up and her expression had shifted to determination.
“What do I have to do?” she asked
“You need to kill Giles,” oz replied, “He’s the demon.”
Willow looked at Oz curiously,
“What about the victim report I saw.”
“Come on Will. You of all people should know how easy those things are to fake.”
Willow thought about what Oz said. She realized that anybody with a computer could make an official looking document. Giles had to be stopped before he does any more damage.
“I’m ready.” Willow said seriously
“Great. Now stand still this is gonna feel very weird.”
Oz opened his palm. A ball of energy flew out and circled around Willow. This one ball became many until Willow was in the center of an energy tornado. Willow stiffened up as the energy filled her body. She grinned powerfully as her hair and eyes slowly turned pitch black.
Outside Xander leant casually on a lamppost. He looks up at the window of Willows apartment and enjoys his own handy work. He knew Getting Buffy to kill Oz was the best way to convince Willow to swap teams. Now using his first evil psychic projection ability there was no longer one person to defeat but three.
The demon, the slayer and the witch.
