Prologue
Two Years Later- 2006
London
The New Watcher's Council
Giles looks up from the paper he is reading, to chastise two of the younger watchers, Robert Gray and Sarah Jacobs, who had turned the volume on the idiot box up to high. Turning to yell at them he sees the images on the tv and pales.
It couldn't be? Giles thought panicked. "I've have to make some calls."
Rome, Italy
Buffy and Dawn
Buffy hears the phone ring and she picks it up.
"Hello?" Buffy says into the receiver. "Oh hey Giles. What channel? Okay, I will."
Buffy walks into the living room, where Dawn is watching the tv. She takes the remote and turns on the news.
"A rash of unexplained killings have been plaguing London for the past three nights, seventeen victims have been found so far- all have been gutted and flayed while still alive. The police have no leads as of yet. We'll give you more on this story as it develops. This is Roger Moore for BBCN."
Dawn and Buffy glance at eachother concerned, seemingly discussing something silently.
After a moment Dawn nods. "I'll start packing."
New York City
Faith and Robin
Faith blocks a right hook from a vampire she is currently locked in combat with. She grabs the vamp by the collar and throws him back. Robin grabs him from behind in a chokehold, and Faith grabs a stake from her back pocket and thrusts it into the vamps chest dusting him.
"They always go for the girl first… Ever notice that?" Faith asks.
"Yeah, wonder why that is." Robin replies.
"Well, it's like I said, I'm prettier." Faith jibes goodnaturedly.
Robin's cell phone rings and he pulls it out of his pocket and flips it open.
"Hello?" He asks. "Oh, hello Giles. What can I do for you? I see. Okay, we'll be there."
"Whats the sitch?" Faith asks as Robin puts his phone away.
"We got trouble in London." Robin answers.
"How bad?"
"Bad enough. The Council is getting everyone in on this."
"Really? Damn."
Rio De Genero, Brazil
Willow and Kennedy
Willow idly flips through a spell book as her girlfriend beats on a punching bag nearby.
"Hey Ken, you wanna get out of here soon? I'm kinda hungry." Willow inquires.
"Yeah sure, it's getting late anyways, maybe we'll run into some vamps to slay." Kennedy agrees.
The pair of them get their stuff together and head out. They make their way down the bustling streets of the city and enter an Italian resturaunt.
They go to a corner table and sit down.
"I can't believe that it's already been three years since we took out the first evil." Kennedy exclaims. "We should throw a party and-"
Willow's cell phone rings and she quickly picks it up.
"Hello." She says into the receiver. "Oh hey Giles. What? Are you serious? Yeah, we'll be there. See you soon."
"What was all that about?" Kennedy asks, confused.
"Seems that your party idea has been preempted. We're going to London."
Los Vegas, Nevada
Xander
"Put me down for $500 on Red 14." Xander said, while he fiddled with his eyepatch.
"Very good sir." The concierge said as he took the chip Xander gave him and placed it on the space that indicated red 14. He then gave the roulette wheel a spin and the silver ball landed on red 14.
"Winner!" the concierge announces and passes Xander his winnings.
Xander nods and takes his chips and leaves the casino, heading for his hotel. He walks into the lobby and walks up to the front desk. A young brunette woman on the other side of the counter walks up.
"Welcome back Mr. Harris. You got a message from a Mr. Rupert Giles while you were out." The woman says, handing him a piece of paper.
Xander takes it and looks it over.
"I guess I'm going to England." Xander says.
New Orleans
Vi
The young redheaded slayer who cut her teeth in the battle against the first evil in Sunnydale bobbed her head in rhythm with the music at the club. She had made New Orleans her home when she parted ways with Buffy a few months after the collapsing of the hellmouth.. In the three years since she had become a slayer, she had dusted hundreds of vamps and even stopped a couple of apocalypses in her own right.
Her cell phone rang and she made her way off the dance floor and away from the loud music of the band that was currently playing on stage.
"Hello?" Vi said into the receiver of the phone. "Mr. Giles? Wow, it's been a while. Really? Okay, I'm there. See ya soon." She turned to leave, and bumped into the pink haired guitarist from the band.
Vi looked at him for a moment.
"Sorry about that. I couldn't help overhearing. You're a slayer, aren't you?" The man says.
"Uh, are you a nutjob or something? A Slayer?" Vi asks.
"No, relax. It's cool, I used to live in Sunnydale. I went to school with Buffy." The man says.
"Pink hair, guitarist, weird vibes. You must be Oz."
"Got it in one." Oz replies stoically
"I've heard some stories about you from Xander and Willow. You're a werewolf, right?"
"Uh yeah, that's not gonna be a problem is it, cause I'm a good guy here."
"As long as you don't try to hump my leg or anything, we should be five by five."
"Ah wonderful, a Faith disciple." Oz smirks
"Hey, she's not evil anymore. Cut her some slack. She even helped to save the world." Vi protests, slightly angered.
"Heavy."
Vi cools down and looks at Oz for a few moments in silence.
"Hey, you feel up for a trip to Europe?"

London International Terminals
Buffy and Dawn walk over to where a well groomed Englishman holding a sign with their names on it.
"Council Rep, right?" Buffy asks with a smirk.
"Yes Ms. Summers, I've been sent by the head watchers, Rupert Giles and Colin Robson to collect you, and bring you to headquarters immediately." The man said.
"Giles is head watcher?" Dawn and Buffy chorused in surprise.
"Yes, with Quentin Travers and the majority of the senior members of the council killed in the explosion that took out the old headquarters, Mr. Giles and Mr. Robson decided that with all the potentials awakened there would need to be a new council to train them. I have been told of your animousity for Mr. Travers and the old council but I can personally assure you that this new incarnation of the council is completely different."
"I just want to know why we have been called to come here."
"Mr. Giles wanted for everyone to be present at the council to discuss our current predicament."
"Everyone! Just how many people have been called in on this?" Buffy demanded.
"Ms. Faith Lehane, Mr. Robin Wood, Ms. Willow Rosenburg, Ms. Kennedy Inara, Mr. Xander Harris, Ms. Vi MacKenzie, and several others that I don't believe you are acquainted with."
"What about the Angel Investigations team in Los Angeles?"
"They have been contacted, but we have not yet received a response. If you'll follow me, I will show you to our transportation."
"Okay, lead the way, watcher man." Dawn motioned for him to lead the way.
Later that day
New Watchers Council
Faith, Robin, Buffy, Dawn, Willow, Kennedy, Xander, Giles and seven others are standing around a large conference room table waiting for the arrival of Vi.
After about ten minutes of waiting, Vi arrived with a familiar face.
"Oz!" Buffy, Dawn and Willow chorused.
"Hey guys, been a while." The werewolf guitarist greets.
Everyone in the room took a seat at the table and sat in silence as Giles motioned for it.
"Now that we're all here, I think it's time we started our discussions on how to handle our current predicament." Giles said moving to the head of the table. "The majority of the people in this room are acquainted with eachother, but for conveniences sake, would everyone please introduce themselves."
A red haired woman stood up and addressed the group.
"My name is Kahlan Derricks, I'm a freelance demon hunter from Atlanta." The woman introduces, and then sits down.
Two others stand, a man and a woman, both blonde.
"Drake and Kiera Coleman. Brother and sister from New York City, half demons, and warriors for the PTB." The man says, then the two of them sit down again.
"Willow Rosenburg, wiccan, I used to live in Sunnydale, but I live in Brazil now."
"Daniel Osbourne, Werewolf, formerly of Sunnydale California, now residing in New Orleans, Louisiana. Here to give whatever help I can."
"Vi MacKenzie, Slayer, from New Orleans."
"Buffy Summers, Slayer, another of the Sunnydale Alum, I now live in Rome. This is my sister Dawn."
"Kelly Bryant. I'm a mystic, from Toronto, Canada."
"Faith Lehane, don't really have a home, I'm a Slayer too."
"Robin Wood, Former principle of Sunnydale High, and a career demon hunter."
"Kennedy Inara, slayer, I live with Willow in Brazil."
"Harold Jacobs, Special forces of the Watcher's Council."
"Daniel Stevens, former British Army commander, now a demon hunter for the Council."
"Xander Harris, Formerly of Sunnydale as well, I now live in Los Vegas and I'm not quite sure why I'm here."
"Okay, now that everyone is acquainted, I think we can get down to business. A very old threat has returned. Once every hundred years or so, the entity known as Jaques Vivisect goes on the hunt. He tortures his victims, then guts and flays them alive. Last time he was around was in 1888." Giles explains.
"Jack the Ripper." Kiera notes.
"Yes." Giles acknowledges
"And just when I thought I was out, they keep dragging me back in." Buffy mutters.
"Whats the kill count?" Kahlan asks.
"As of an hour ago- twenty. Including four key members of the House of Parliament and an assistant to the Prime Minister.. It seems to be targeting political leaders."
"You don't say?" Faith puts in, somewhat condescendingly.
"Faith the sarcasm is really not necessary." Giles snaps. "We have a lot of work to do, and not enough time to do it. "
"Sounds like you could use some help with the new big bad." A new voice said and everybody looked over to see a tall brunette with red streaks in her hair standing at the door.
"Who the fk are you?" Faith sneered.
"Gwen Raidyn, at your service." Gwen said with a smirk.
To Be continued (If It gets good reviews).
