Two Months Later-
Somewhere In New York City-
Buffy uppercutted a one vampire, swung around and kicked the other. Then she pulled out a stake and staked him. As the other rushed her from behind, she staked him without even looking at him.
Buffy left the alley and wandered down the deserted sidewalk. As she did, she felt an odd tingle, as if a vampire was nearby. Warily, she pulled out a stake, and looked around.
Then she noticed a badly dressed, short guy watching her. He approached her. "Hey. I'm Whistler."
Buffy stared at the man. Finally she said "What do you want?" she asked him.
"Bet you're wondering what the Stone of Destiny is, right?"
Buffy nodded. Suspiciously she said "Yeah."
Whistler grinned. He handed her a business card. "The Stone of Destiny has been used for centuries in finding the next Slayer. Problem is, the power that the Watchers tap into to find the next Slayer, has been used up. Now only a Slayer can use the stone."
"So you're saying that I have to steal the Stone of Destiny from the Watchers?" Buffy said dubiously. "I don't even know where they're based."
Whistler grinned. "That's what the business card is for." He walked off.
Buffy flipped over the card, and stared at the address. Then she looked up. Whistler was gone.

"You should plan more for things." said Mr. Zabuto. Faith glared at him. "Hey. this isn't a tea party. You stake, you slice you dice. End of story." Mr. Zabuto gave her a look of disgust. "You are ill organized and much too impulsive. You must think things through."
Faith shook her head angrily. "I'm sick of this!" she told him. "I'm done!" She got up and made to leave.
"You can not just treat this like a game!" Mr. Zabuto told her.
Faith whirled around. "I'm a Slayer! I can do whatever I want whenever I want."
Mr. Zabuto looked pained. "You have a sacred duty! You can not be so flippant!"
Faith's face contorted in anger. "You know, I'm getting sick of your rules. Your laws. I'M SICK OF YOU!"
With that, she hit him with all her strength. Mr. Zabuto's head snapped back. He fell limply to the ground, dead.
Faith ran off into the night.

The Next Night-
Kendra found Mr. Zabuto's body in a ditch. Faith was with her. In shock, Kendra gasped "Who did this?"
She looked up at Faith. "He was with you last night. What did he say to you?"
Faith shrugged. "He lectured me about duties."
Kendra looked pained. "Yes, well, we should call the cops."
Faith shook her head. "What gives? The cops will ask questions. I say we dump him in the ocean."
Kendra stared at the younger Slayer in shock. "He was my Watcher! He deserves a decent burial! How dare you!"
Then she gasped and backed away from Faith. "No... Faith what have you done!?"
Faith grinned. "Oh come on. He was just a Watcher. Long-winded and pompous. Don't tell me you never thought about it?"
Kendra's eyes widened. "My God..." She turned to run from Faith. Faith was on her in an instant. A knife flashed. Kendra lay dead with her throat slashed on a long flat rock.
Faith smirked. "Now who's the best Slayer!" she taunted Kendra. She walked off down the empty highway.

Buffy stumbled as she walked into Macleods's Dojo. As she crumpled, she saw a knife. Saw the face that had haunted her dreams grinning, felt a knife cut her throat coldly. She gasped in pain.
When her vision cleared, she was on a couch in Macleod's loft. She rubbed a hand across her throat. She looked up. Macleod and Richie were leaning over her.
"Ooog..." she mumbled, sitting up.
"Careful." said Macleod, handing her a glass of water. She gulped half of it down and set it down on the floor.
"What happened?" asked Richie.
"I saw a knife, and a face. And... I think that Kendra is dead."
"Kendra?" said Macleod.
"Yeah... I've got to go."
Buffy got up and stretched. "Thank you for you're help. I've got to go to London."
"Why?" asked Richie.
Buffy stood a bit taller. "I'm going to steal the Stone of Destiny."
