“Look, I’m not some big nasty evil… or what not… I just happen to be a little different.”
“You’re being different by killing us all?” Faith screams at her.
“Just had to restore the balance, is all, love. Didn’t mean anything by it.”
“Then she’s just gone? She’s never coming back?” Willow sobs, tears streaming down her face. Buffy had forgotten… it had been so long. If the Slayers were dying then Kennedy was dead to.
“Will, just calm down.”
“Then what’s with the peeps?” Faith asks her, putting her weapon down.
“Like I said… more human then you lot… the bases of humanity is a complicated one at that. There’s disappointment, satisfaction…” She grins and draws it out, “Sat-is-fac-tion… anger, hate, love, pride, glory, honor, charm, grace, independence. Where did you think that all came from?”
“So, you evil or not?”
“Neither… I’m the balance. Humans aren’t simply good or evil… they can change, evolve.”
“So how ‘bout right now?”
“Depends on how you feel about the Hellmouth.”
“Evil, bad… next?”
“If you fight on that side then you’re against me. It is needed for the balance… but if you prefer… we can fight.” She grins again. Xander isn’t sure what to do… so he just throws himself at the bitch. She looks at him and her eyes glow red. He bounces off a force field.
“Ok, ouch!”
Autum ignores him and hisses at the Slayer, “The root of your power lies where, princess? What story did the Watchers tell you? Did they make you think you were special? That you’re purpose was for the world’s best interest? It is… and the world’s best interest is mine, ducks. Why don’t you tell her, Smurf?”
Illyria growls at her grandmother, “She’s right. The Council is a board of foolish men in ridiculous detective costumes. They didn’t create the Slayer… they harnessed it by pushing it back until they needed it. When it best suited them… they undid their spells and released what was already there. The Slayer isn’t meant to kill the demons. She does that well enough on her own. The Slayer is the oldest word for ‘Protector’ to slay meant to ‘protect’. You are her bodyguards. She made you of her own blood, so you would share her unnatural union with humanity. You are as filled with humanity as possible… so you seek the farthest thing possible from human and alive. It is the curse she herself lives with. You’re to be as equal to her as can be without becoming a threat. But she doesn’t control the world… the things that happen to it. She’s the enforcement… the messenger. A god in all rights except to be the God. She cannot die however may she wish it. She is bound to the earth of her own creation, unable to leave until the end. The prophecies you’ve read are incomplete. It isn’t her danger that throws the world into peril. It’s the world that throws her life into peril. Even when the world is gone, she shall still be. She’ll be caught in the vacuum of time and reality shall shift and for an eternity she shall remember the lives of all under her rein… and there is only one way to comeback from all of that. The one way God will not allow.”
Pike looks at her, “So what you’re sayin’ is God exists?”
“One of the many things I said… yes.”
“Of course he exists!” Autum rolls her eyes, “How else would holy water and crosses do the trick?”
Buffy asks her one more question, “So, if we let you rebuild the Hellmouth, then what?”
“Then I help you save the world. There’s an actual Apocalypse you have to worry about, you know.”
“What is it?”
“Wolfram and Hart have had time to regroup. They were only warming up those years ago. They’re striking with full force. The senior partners leading the troops. If I take them out… that’s all I’m granted to do in the fight. Or I can take out the demon army, and you’ll have to deal with them. That’s the more dangerous one, though.”
“So, the senior partners are able to be hurt by you?”
“No, I can destroy them for good.”
Someone runs through the double doors, “Sorry I’m late… what’d I miss?” Oz stands there in his full glory, smiling down at Willow.
