Tides of Darkness
Introduction: Even though there is going to be some story to this chapter, most of this is to explain a few things about this story, first this is sort of a spin off of Scoobies and Wrestlers. I say 'sort of' because it uses the two made up characters from that story and it continues where it left off, but it can stand alone. This is a crossover between Buffy, Warcraft 3, WWE, Xena and a few others will be added or references to in this story. Plus there is going to be a number of made up characters of my own. Next, there are two characters I need to explain about. First let's start with Britney Spears, now this is not a put down on her, I know she going threw hell right now and I feel sorry for her. It's not my nature to get enjoyment off of other people's misery or tragedy. I don't believe what tabloids write, but I do think she's in a bad place right now and I hope she gets better and finds her way. Now that brings me to why I brought this up, the Britney in my story is different from the real one, of who she is and the path in life she took. If you read the other story, you would know that my Britney is half demon and that she left Hollywood to attend the slayer school in England in order to learn how to control the demon side. She never married what's his name…K-fed and never had kids. The second person I want to talk about is WWE's Lita, or Amy, her real name, like Britney, her life took a different path then the real one. If you read my other story, you'll know that she is a slayer and had a feud with Faith, but made up at the end. Unlike the real one, she never got involved with Edge, but she did break up with Matt Hardy and shortly after the fan's turned against her. Unable to take the boos and name calling from the fans, Lita left the WWE and came to the school to teach. On a personal note, I think its bullshit how she was treated by the fans, what happens in her personal life is nobody's business but her own and others involved. Also the way she left was bullshit, she should have gotten a better send off. By the way, I know Lita's real first name is Amy, but what is her real last name, if anyone could tell me, much appreciative
Now on to some background info, like what is The Guild?
Well The Guild is the opposite of Wolfram and Hart. Where Wolfram and Hart represent bad demons and bad people, The Guild takes care of good demons and good people. The Guild, like Wolfram and Hart, has been around for some time, but unlike Wolfram and Hart, The Guild isn't out in the open as much as Wolfram and Hart and preference to run thing from behind the scenes. The two know about each other and each other's plans, but have never fought with one another straight out, instead, they go at each other threw the companies they control or represent, like a Cold War. For example, the Monday Night Wars between the WWE and WCW, Turner and WCW were represented by Wolfram and Hart, where McMahon and the WWE were represented The Guild. Both powers have their hands in politics around the world and are working to gain more then the other. Currently, The Guild is supporting the Slayer School or as it's named Rosethorn Manor. The Guild is only a nick name, but it's the name for now, if anyone knows of a better name, let me know.
Next, the slayer school, Rosethorn Manor, and its history
Rosethorn Manor was established two months after the final episode of Buffy. It was originally owned by the old Watcher council. The public face of the school is a school for gifted young women, but it's actually a school for all the newly awaken slayers. Kind of like X-Men…okay, a lot like X-Men. The school is located in England, just three miles outside a town called Chorrol. The school is certified and for girls that haven't received a high school or middle school diploma, along with there slaying classes, they are required to take class there at that level and receive one. After that they can focus completely on classes for slaying. Due to attacks by the Undead Cult and Giles being turned, the school has been force to turn to The Guild for help. The Guild has provided an upgrade in security, which includes Guild security guards, GPS locaters in all school vehicles, cell phones with locaters for all the students and faculty, and much more. Recently the school has opened its doors to any young woman with extraordinary abilities; however, Britney is the only non-slayer student. (Yes, Chorrol is from The Elder Scrolls 4)
The Undead Cult?
Little is known about the Undead Cult other then that they are death worshipers dedicated to snuff out the light in the world. They see the slayers as a threat to their plans and declared a secret war against them. They were responsible for magically brain washing Giles, and turning him against the school. Even though Robert, Buffy, and Calla have wiped out many of their groups, they keep coming back. It's almost impossible to capture one for info as each one has a mystical suicide ability that they use to avoided capture. Many in Cult are necromancers and are very powerful at controlling the dead, but for some reason can't control vampires.
What kind of name is Chorrol?
Chorrol is a name I got from a game, for this story it's a made up town located near the slayer school. Even though the town accepts tourists, it's more of a closed off town, because many of its residents aren't human, and even though some aren't human, they just trying to live an undisrupted simple live. Even though the residents of this town didn't get along with the old Watcher Council, because the old council was dedicated to wiping out anything that wasn't human, Buffy has convince them that the new school isn't training the slaying to go after every demon and monster, just the bad ones. Since then the town has lived in peace with Rosethorn Manor and even protects its secret as the Manor protects the town's secret.
The story so far…
The story actually began right after the end of Scoobies and Wrestlers, but I'm not starting all the way back then, instead I'm going to sum it up. Basically, near the end of the last story, things weren't going well at the manor, Giles was acting funny and there were several demon attacks on the school, one in which Robert was injured. Buffy left the WWE, to come and investigate. Once she got back, she learned from Robert and Calla that they suspended that Giles was behind the attacks. At first Buffy didn't believe it, but after doing further investigations, she learned that Giles wasn't himself and he was being controlled some how. He had been brain washed by some cult called the Undead Cult and was now trying to destroy the school from the inside. Giles had even leaded the demons that had attacked the school to the school himself. Buffy then subdued Giles and had Willow try and undo the magical brain wash, but every attempt failed. That is when Robert and Calla suggested that they get help from The Guild. Being part of the Guild, Robert and Calla told them that they could trust them and they could even gain help from them in protecting the School. Buffy and everyone else were skeptical at first but then decided to give it a try. Since then The Guild has helped them in their fight against the Undead Cult and also taken Giles to one of their hospital to try and break the hold the Cult has over him. Buffy and the gang started a campaign against the Cult and succeeded in wiping a large number of the Cult out, but no matter how many they killed, there were always more. Around five months later, the Undead Cult when into hiding. Buffy decides to return to the WWE after Faith was seriously injured and had to leave herself. The Cult hasn't been heard from since, until recently.
Major Characters- this section is mainly to explain some of my made up characters, but all so to give some background on the not made up characters
Willow- One of the founding member of the School and one of the original Scooby members. Willow teaches protection against the dark arts and Computer tech class. After she was unsuccessful in breaking the cults hold on Giles, she has had many doubts about how her magic will hold up against theirs
Spike- After helping Angel to destroy Wolfram and Hart's inner circle, Spike needed a place to hide. He found it with the school and the Guild. After becoming a member of the Guild, Wolfram and Hart wouldn't touch him and in return, he teaches. He is currently teaching Kickboxing and literature. He is also currently having a secret affair with Amy (Lita).
Britney Spears- When her demon half became active, she needed someone or someplace to teach how to control it. Following the advice from Buffy, she came to Rethan Manor. She eventually learned how to control her new found strength and abilities and could have gone back to her Hollywood life, but found herself not wanting to leave. She signed up for some combat related classes and to this date, hasn't any plans on leaving. Some believe the reason she doesn't leave is do to her romantic involvement with Robert, and some believe it's because she found a new home and friends at the school and she's afraid she'll loose them if she leaves. Whatever the reason is, it's still up in the air.
Amy (Lita) - After her breakup with Matt Hardy became public news and wrestling fans turned against her. Amy found she had lost her love for wrestling and decided to leave it. However she didn't have any idea what she was going to do next. That when Buffy suggested she teaches at the school. Amy liked the idea right away, and headed for the school where she found a new home and place in life. She and Spike have been having behind close doors encounters which are basically sexual but deep in her heart she hopes Spike will be able to commit to something more in the future. Amy is by the rules when it comes to the students and is often strict but it comes out of concern for the girls. Amy teaches Physical education and Spanish.
Robert Porter- An immortal that came to the school shortly after Buffy and the other first found it, he has been there ever since. He looks like he's in his mid-twenties, but his real age is unknown and many have guessed and wondered. The reason he hasn't told anyone is a secret that in know only by Calla and Britney. He is a Guild member and has done many jobs for them. However he has, in the past, turned down a job or two that he didn't believe in. Robert is in love with Britney, but shares a close bond with Calla, who he sees as a friend and mentor. He's gone by a few different last names in the past, he currently going by Porter. Robert teaches Weapons Combat and history.
Kennedy: One of the founding members and Willow's girlfriend. She was with Buffy and the gang when they shut down the Hell mouth at Sunnydale and was a big supporter of the school. Even though it's not her fault, Kennedy often feels a little guilt about what happened to Giles. Kennedy only teaches basic slayers skills and survival but she also assists other teachers and fills in for them when their out. She also helps with any paper work that needs taking care of. (One other last name I need to know, if anyone does know it, please let me know)
Sarah Miller: A young woman of twenty, Sarah is a student at the school and Britney's roommate. Sarah and Britney share a sister like friendship but looking at them you would see it. Where Britney is in to pop music, Sarah is in to rock. Britney has ears pierced; Sarah has her ears pierced, but also has a nose piercing. Sarah is a promising student and loves being a slayer. She has a defensive nature but her heart is in the right place as she gets defensive against anyone who insults or threats her friends. Sarah also has a crush on Spike, but doesn't know about the secret affair.
Calla Porter: Calla is an immortal like Robert, but she has been around much longer. If fact she is one of the longest living. Once know as Callisto, she led a bloody massacre across ancient Greece in the name of revenge. Some where alone the line she…sort of changed her ways. Calla shares a close bond with Robert and that brings in to question her comment to the school. Some believe that the only reason she is here is Robert and if he leaves, she would leave as well. Calla only teaches Mau Tie Kickboxing, a step up from the kickboxing that Spike teaches. Calla is a tough teacher and only has a few students and those students are usually hurting at the end of class. However, those few students that are taking her class are look at as serious slayers and plan to be slayers. Same thing with the last name as Robert.
Jennie Flinch: Jennie was a promising new watcher in the old watcher council and one of the survives after the attack on the old watcher council by the First. When the council was destroyed, she felt as if her life had fallen apart. Things got better when Giles contacted her and told her about the school and how he wants her to join as a teacher there. Jennie also assisted Giles in the job of running the school, so it was only natural that she became the new headmaster of the school after Giles was taken away. Jennie wasn't too happy about having the school join The Guild, but since everyone was for it and they needed the extra protection, she reluctantly agreed. Along with being Headmaster, she also teaches Math and Chemistry.
Now for the minor character, some will become major character in the future
Dr. Tyrone Carlson: Tyrone is one fourth demon, the demon part coming from his grandmother on his mother's side. Up to the age of five, he grew up in a village in Africa, but where his village prospered and grew, a lot in due to the hard work from his grandmother, the surrounding villages didn't due so well. Some people from one of the neighboring village became convinced that the reason their village was poor and his village was wealthy was because of his grandmother and that they should do something. They formed an angry mob and attacked his village. His grandmother held off the attacks while Tyrone's parents escaped with him, but unfortunately on the way out, he saw his grandmother cut down. There was nothing left of his village after the attack. Tyrone's parents brought him to the U.S. where he attended school. All the aspects were there for him to become bitter with revenge, but instead he decided to take the high road. He believed and still does, that it would be better to honor his grandmother's memory by saving lives, not destroying them. In doing so, he set on the path of becoming a doctor. He graduated at the top of his class in high school, and in collage. On his way to medical school, Tyrone was contacted and met with a Guild representative. The representative told him that his grandmother was a member and they asked him to be a guild doctor. Basically, along with his regular practice, he would help those who couldn't go to a regular hospital, due to certain reasons. Tyrone agreed and in turn, the guild paid his way threw medical school. Shortly after the slayer school joined The Guild, The Guild asked him to be the official doctor to the school, and after thinking it over for a few days, he agreed. He doesn't live at the school itself, but lives in a house in Chorrol, where he also runs a private practice.
Buffy: The most famous slayer and a founding member of the school. Buffy left the school for a short time to help out Xander, who also left to head to the WWE to help Stephanie. (As in the previous story). Once things were settled, Buffy came back to the school when Giles started acting strange. However, Buffy missed the WWE and soon return once the situation was handle at the School. Even though she isn't here, Buffy is kept in the loop and will return if needed. On a side note, Buffy was the first woman to win the WWE Championship when she beat JBL at the Royal Rumble, but then lost it to John Cena at Wrestlemania due to Stone Cold's interference.
Xander: One of the founding member, Xander couldn't find his place at the school and soon left to help a friend out who was in trouble, that being Stephanie McMahon. After a short time Stephanie and Xander fell in love and got married. Although Xander is willing to help in any way he can, he has no plans on return as he and Stephanie have had a daughter together and are both now running the WWE.
Stephanie: Stephanie thought her career in the WWE was over when she fell on bad terms with her father, but Stephanie found help when Xander, Buffy, and Faith arrived. She fell in love with Xander, and soon after he won control over the WWE for her. Steph in committed to helping the school any way she can, and will offer any resource at her control.
Faith: Another founding member, Faith headed to the WWE to help Xander and Steph, but soon found a home there. However, after a near career ending injury, due to Isabel, Kurt Angle, and JBL, Faith had to leave. The injury healed up four months later, but by that time, Buffy had returned, won the WWE Championship and was running strong. Faith felt if she returned, she and Buffy would eventually end up in a conflict and that was something she didn't want. Instead she took a new job offered to her as the new head of a new Angel Investigations. She runs it with two other slayers, Max and Ariel, and two half demons, Alec and Biggs. The new Angel Investigations is also a part of the Guild.
Keira Knightley: Yes the actress, she soon found out she was a slayer, but not willing to give up her career, she has shown up at the school from time to time for only a quick lesson or two. However, now that the Undead Cult wants all slayers dead, she has been keeping close contact and is always looking over her shoulder.
Dawn: Buffy's little sister, Dawn is currently attending Oxford. Her hopes are to become a teacher and teach at the school. She spends what free time she can at the school.
Keylala: Yes, the same demon cat from Inuyasha, at first look, he looks like a harmless cat with two tails, but when threaten or his friends threaten, in a blaze of fire he transforms into a large saber tooth cat with two tails. Keylala was found in the forest by the school by Britney and Sarah. They brought him back and nursed him back to health and since then, he has made the school his home and watches over the students and teachers. (I hope I spelled the name right)
Other teachers, students and security guards: Of course you couldn't run a school with the few characters I've written, there are others which will be in the story time to time and there are plenty of other student which will make a appears from time to time. Of course let's not forget the guards that patrol the school and are always will to help out.
Saiyan: Little is known about the history of Saiyans and if there is even a history. There's not that many around and hardly any that are members of The Guild. Robert, Britney and Calla are few that are members. Most of the saiyans are either working for Wolfram and Hart or for themselves. Saiyans have immense strength and speed and also a strong sense of smell. Some saiyans, for unknown reasons, have gain immortality, like Robert and Britney. There are different levels of immortality. Calla gain immortality threw other means and threw those means she lost the strong sense of smell that came with being a saiyan. Now she just has a finely tuned regular sense of smell. Saiyans have no demon face, except for Robert, in which his eyes turn completely black. It is believed the reason he can do that is because there is another type of demon within him, but it is yet unknown even to him. Well that's the basic on Saiyans other facts will be reveal later (Or just when I come up with them).
Last notes: Just one last thing, even though this story is basically a spin off of Scoobies and Wrestlers, it isn't going to follow all the facts that were presented in that story, some changes will occur. Also for all the Buffy fans, she will become a major character later, and so will some other characters later. Well that all you need to know, on with the story.
Oh, one last thing, the disclaimer: I do not own any of the character in this story that is from other shows and forms of entertainment. They are own by who ever owns them, I don't want to get into which owns which, because this is a multi crossover so there will be a lot. I do own the characters I came up with, although I don't have a patent on them.
Chapter 1: It could be worse
December '06
Britney ran threw the forest in the dead of night with no light but what was given from the stars in the sky. Her heart was racing and she was filled with fear. She was running for her life and heading back to the manor. She couldn't see a thing but the dark silhouette of the top of the trees. As she was running, tripping over unseen branches, she couldn't help but think about what got her here, not just what happen tonight, but all around.
She used to live a glamorous life in Hollywood with a career in singing. But then came the day when she started having trouble controlling her demon half and after time, it started having an affect on her life. Following the advise from a friend, Buffy, she when to a school, Rosethorn Manor, in order to learn and control her abilities. Once there, she was taught how to control her other half. However, once she had learned what she needed to learn, she could have left and gone back to her regular life, but she stayed at the school and continued taking other classes. There were several reasons why that she could think of to explain why she stayed, none of them important right now. What was in important was that was half reason why she's in her current situation. The other being what happen earlier tonight.
Earlier, her and another student, a slayer named Maria, decided to head into town and have some fun at the local tavern called O'Keefe's. Once they got there, a young man came running up to them and yelling for help. He said some strange men wear black clocks jumped him and his sister and then dragged his sister away and into the forest. Britney and Maria knew right away who they were, the Undead Cult had returned. Britney wanted to call for help, but something was blocking her and Marie's cell from getting a clear signal, so they didn't even know if they got threw. So Britney said they should go inside and use their phone, but the man insisted the longer they wait the bigger chance his sister would ended up dead. Maria agreed and told the man to show them the direction in which he saw them drag his sister off to. Britney didn't like this, but Marie said she was going and Britney can either stay here or come with her. Britney choose to go with Maria.
After a short travel threw the forest is where things really got bad, it turned out to be a trap. Out of the forest, Necromancers, members of the Undead Cult jumped out, including some Zombies under their control. Even the man, who they were helping, turned out to be part of the cult.
Britney and Maria fought off as many as they could, but they were outnumber and surrounded. Maria ended up opening a hole in their surrounding numbers and ordered Britney to run for it, but Britney refused to go. It wasn't until Maria yelled at her that if she didn't run for it, she would kick her ass. Britney, seeing that she had no other choice but to leave, ran for it and didn't look back. The only problem was that she lost her way in the dark of night. She thinks she is heading for the school, but wasn't sure. As she was running for the school, she tried her cell again, but it was knocked out of her hand by a branch while she was running and she couldn't see were it dropped, so she keep running.
Things could be worse for her, she could have got back to L.A., to her glamorous life and be safe, surrounded by people…who only cared about her for her wealth and fame. However she decided to stay with people that care about her for her…and now her life could come to an end. So which is a better spot to be in?
Britney suddenly trips and hits her head on fallen tree trunk on the ground. She knew the wound on her head wouldn't kill her; it was just making her loose consciousness. Whatever the cult sent after would kill her.
As Britney begins to fade out, she realizes that if she dies, she will have people that will miss her and not her fame and fortune.
On the roof of Rosethorn Manor, Robert stood with his eyes closed, breathing in the wind. Two people walk up behind him, Calla and Spike.
"We have a location on her" Calla said "or at least her phone, we're getting ready to head out"
"No need" Robert said "The wind is blowing in the right direction and I've got her scent" He opens his eyes and they are completely black
Robert then jumped off the three story building, lands on the ground with ease and takes off with amazing speed. Within seconds, he's across the large front lawn and over the front gate. The guard at the front gate just looks up, knowing who it was, he rolls his eyes and then sits back in his chair and continues watching his TV.
"He's always so over dramatic" Calla said and the followed him the same way
Spike walks to the edge of the roof "Right then…I'll go let everyone know what's up"
