The End of Days

Historical Note: This story takes place during the seventh season of Buffy, during the series finale.

Disclaimer: I don't own any of the characters from either Buffy or Angel; although I wish I did!!

Authors Note: After watching the final episode of Buffy, I was a little disappointed that Angel wasn't there for the actual battle, so I decided to re-write the last episode including Angel in the final battle. Otherwise, everything else is the same. Also, since it broke my heart to see Xander's eye get gouged out, I'm just going to pretend it never happened!

Summary: The apocalypse is drawing dangerously close for Buffy and the group, and with the potential slayers being killed off one by one, both Buffy and Faith are realizing this time both slayers may be in over their head.

Then all of a sudden, someone from Buffy's past comes to help them with the fight; causing old feelings to stir. Faced with what seems to be the final battle; Buffy is forced to face her past as well as her greatest love; as he joins her in the last battle.

PROLOGUE

"Ok, word of advice? Don't give the wanna-bee's any more sugar. They've been spazing for hours," Faith told Buffy as she closed the door behind her and walked over to Buffy, who was staring out into the dark yard.

"Why not? In a few days, half of them may be dead," she told her. She turned and looked at Faith.

"Shouldn't you be resting up in bed?" Buffy asked.

"I've been knocked out and comatose more than I've been awake and fighting. I think I'm good," Faith told her. Buffy smiled a Faith's comment. She had a point; the poor girl had been knocked out more times than Buffy could count.

"I just want to make sure your rested up for the fight," Buffy explained.

"Oh, I'm rested," she assured her. The two fell silent. "Do you think were really going to win this thing?" she asked.

"I have no idea," Buffy told Faith honestly.

"Well, we have that scythe thing," Faith pointed out.

"Yeah. That seems to be the only thing going for us," she told her. The two slayers looked out into the distance.

"Come on, let's get back in and see if they've found anything else on your new weapon thing," Faith said. Buffy climbed down from the railing and sighed.

"Might as well; let's go," she said as the two slayers went inside the house.
