BLAST FROM THE PAST

IMPORTANT NOTE- My best friend (new girl) and I wrote this story. Before she ad this story posted under her name but now it is under mine I DID NOTCOPY THIS STORY so please don't say that I did. Thank you. This was co- authored

Disclaimer: I don't own the Buffy and everything Buffy or anything from the show. If I did there would be some serious changes in production but I don't own it. Starts sobbing Arial: You still own me and the plot. Gives tissue Author: Thanks. You're my baby. Blows nose loudly
Warning: This is AU but not that much.

Changes: Some things are from the actual show- no potentials (hated that twist), First is still alive (this is about how they kill it) and Spike moved out of Buffy's house back to his crypt (his feeling saner) and Giles is alive and living with Buffy

Chapter 1 - Arial

'It is Friday night and instead of being on a date, like all the normal people, I am walking around in a cemetery with a stake and a sword in hand. Though there was one good thing. Right now, I don't have to think about the First or all demons it is going to send on me. Tonight there is just me and a whole lot of vampires who are going to be stak...'

At that moment an ubervamp jumps out " First say kill slayer! MOVE!" About half a dozen of vamps jump out and surrounded Buffy.

"Shit!"

Buffy went for the first ubervamp. A kick in the gut, duck the punch, right hand jab, left kick, sword through the neck and down goes one demon. Three others attack for the fallen one.

Buffy was barely able to duck all of their attacks. ' There is to many of them, I can't even get a punch in. What am I going to do!'

A couple of minutes later one of them got lucky and his punch sent Buffy flying into a tombstone. The same one picked up Buffy's discarded sword and stated walking towards Buffy. "Master say kill Slayer."

' That's it I am dead' She shut her eyes expecting the blow. ' What why isn't it coming.' Slowly opening her eyes, Buffy saw a woman standing in front of her. The women had shoulder length raven black hair, slender, and about 5"6 in height. She had a bloody axe in one hand and was currently chopping away her fourth vampire. ' Wow, she's really good; the grace and agility with which she moves in. Who is she?'

" Hey, are you helping out or just lying there for the rest of the night!" the woman yelled. That brought Buffy out of her musing. She rose, got her sword and killed the last remaining creature.
" That was good but why were you facing 6 demons by yourself?" asked the woman.

" I was just patrolling for some new vampires, not a force from the First," Buffy explained defensively, finally her curiosity got the better of her, "And who are you, anyway?"

" My name is Arial and you're Buffy, the current slayer. Correct?"

" Yeah but that you still didn't tell me who you are. How do I know you aren't working for the First?" Buffy pointed her sword at Arial, ready to attack.

" I'm not working for the First, if I was I wouldn't have saved you. Now, I will explain everything when we get to your house. It's a long explanation to go into in the middle of the cemetery."

Walking into thehouse, Buffy called out "Giles, are you there?"

"Oh, hello Buffy. Who is your friend?"

"This is Arial. She saved my life tonight. She knows about Slayers and has a few fighting tips."

"Pleasure to meet you Arial. My name is Rupert Giles. May I ask how you know about Slayers?" At this point the whole gang came out to look at the newcomer.

"It comes with the job. I must say that this century is a lot better that the past. No uncomfortable long skirts to bother you when you are fighting. No proper behavior of a lady to limit you. I will enjoy this visit." With that Arial flopped on the couch. " Oh, hello Jessica, didn't see you there. How are you doing sweetheart?"

" I am not Jessica, my name is Dawn"

" Not to be rude but where did you come from and what is this job in which you have to know about Slayers?" Giles asked, stopping Dawn before she started yelling.

"Well, to your first question, didn't you read the T-shirt" The sky blue T-shirt that Arial wore had the 'Though I Live In Heaven. I'm no angel' written in white script letters."It's the truth my dear, I am no angel. I am.... was a Slayer back in the early 19th century"

" But there was only one Slayer who was named Arial...... Oh my God! This woman was considered the most powerful slayer ever, she was more reckless than you Buffy....and....and the most amazing thing was that she worked along side a vampire! She was a legend because of it! Arial, may I ask you a question?"

"Of course, Giles."

" Who was the vampire you worked along with?'
" You may know him as William the Bloody," Arial replied with an amused smile.

" SPIKE!!!???"


Hope it's a little better now that I fixed it, I'm not a great writer but I try. No flamers will be accepted, you don't like something, tell me a way to fix it. So please, review.
