A New Beginning
Episode 1As the last pure demon left the earth, it fed off a human. That demon's blood mixed with the human's, creating a half-human, half-demon creature, called a vampire. Vampires feed on the blood of humans. They possess super-human strength and are immortal.
A group of people over in England assembled. They called themselves the Watcher's Council. They created one girl who would have the power to fight the demons. They look after, train, and teach the girl everything she needs to know. She is the Chosen One, the slayer. When one slayer dies, another is called to take her place and continue the fight against the darkness
After the most famous slayer was killed, the slayer after her was turned into a vampire. She was the first, since the master, to unite the vampires. She took over Sunnydale and made it her kingdom.
Only one group can stop her. They are a small force of Council Operatives. They were sent to Sunnydale to take back the town. They are led by the head of the Council, the current slayer, and a young man trained to fight them. Their mission is to infiltrate the vampire palace and kill the queen.
The Vampire Palace:
"James!" she yelled.
"Yes, your majesty." James answered back.
James was the queen's muscle. He was the leader of her army. He wasn't very intelligent, but he was strong.
"Bring the slayer to me. I want to be the one to drink her blood," the queen told her 1st in command.
There was no doubt about it, the queen was evil. She had shoulder-length blonde hair and blue eyes that showed the evil within her. On top of her vampire strength, she had slayer strength for she had once been the slayer.
"Right away," James said then left.
"I can't wait until I can bathe in the slayer's blood. My ex-boyfriend…I wonder what ever happened to him," the queen asked to herself.
Just then, the queen's right hand man entered the chamber.
"Spike…just the man I was thinking of."
Spike was a very handsome vampire. He was a couple hundred years old. He had bleach blonde hair and was tall. He wore a black leather duster. There was something very different about him though. He had totally changed. The queen really liked him and he had helped her to fight against the human resistance.
"What brings you to my chamber?"
"I have news on the slayer and the resistance."
"What kind of news?"
"They are planning an attack on the empire. We are not sure of when, but our spies are working on getting that information. Also, about that guy that's been working along side the slayer, we found out who he is."
"Well…"
"He is your old boyfriend."
The queen was silent for a few minutes. It was obvious that she was thinking up some devilish plan
"I have an idea!" she informed him, "I could turn the boy and make him my king."
"That sounds like a good plan, your majesty," Spike said.
"That's great news! Good job, Spike!"
Inside Home Base:
"Look, she's was my friend, which means that I'm killing her," Sarah told me.
"She was my girlfriend, which means I'm dusting her," Jake said.
Just then, Quentin walked in.
"Will you two stop arguing and get ready for the invasion. I know that you both cared for her deeply before she was turned and both of you are going to fight her to the death," he said.
"Yes sir," they both replied.
"Where's Giles?" Sarah asked.
"He's busy, just like you two should be. I want both of you to train for a while. The attack will begin at dawn tomorrow," Quentin said and then left.
They got to work on training. They used some of the exercising equipment in the training room. The two trained for about two hours and then went to dinner. Everyone was already there, eating and talking about the big attack scheduled for tomorrow at dawn. After dinner, they loaded the weapons, filled the packs, and loaded the vehicles, then went to sleep.
Jake's alarm went off at four o'clock. He got out of bed and put his clothes on. He chose to wear black khakis, a black t-shirt, and black Nike shoes.
Jake was twenty-one years old. He had short brown hair and piercing hazel eyes. He was medium height and medium build. He had come to Sunnydale for vacation with his girlfriend, Dani and friend, Sarah. He'd met Giles and discovered the existence of vampires and the slayer.
After Jake finished dressing, he left his room and went to meet the others. Sarah was waiting for him outside of the room. He smiled when he saw her.
Sarah was the same age as Jake. She had shoulder-length brown hair and blue eyes. She was medium height and very strong and agile. She was the current slayer. She and Jake met in school a few years back.
"Okay everyone," Quentin shouted to everyone, "we will leave here at 6 and head for the vampire base. Make sure that each of you has a weapon."
Everyone went into the weapon closet and grabbed some kind of weapon. Jake grabbed two stakes, a cross, a sword, and his crossbow. He strapped the scabbard to his back, put the cross on his chain, and put one stake in his pocket and the other in the pouch on his belt. He held the crossbow in his hands. He also grabbed two jars of holy water and put them in the other pouch. Sarah grabbed a crossbow, a sword, and some stakes.
After everyone gathered their weapons, they all loaded onto the transports. Sarah and Jake got on the transport, which was carrying people that were going after the important vampires. Quentin got on their transport. He was the driver.
"Remember our mission everyone, dust the leaders. Sarah, Jake, you know your mission," he said.
The transport drove out of the underground garage. They were on the road and there were no vampires in sight. The council already knew that the vampires knew that they were planning to attack, so they hoped to encounter some resistance on the way. They drove for about an hour until the palace was in view.
"Vampires!" someone yelled.
Jake looked off to his left and saw several vampires on motorcycles come speeding towards the transport. He grabbed his crossbow and stood up.
"I'll take care of them," Jake said and opened the hatch on the roof.
He pulled himself up, so that he was standing on the roof. He took aim at one and fired a bolt. The bolt hit its target. Another bolt loaded automatically. Again the bolt hit its target. There were three vamps left. He was about to take aim again when they pulled out machine guns.
They fired at Jake, but he dove down and the bullets barely missed him. He aimed the crossbow again and fired. The bolt hit one in the head and it fell off the motorcycle. At least it was injured. As he aimed again, the remaining two vamps exploded to dust. He jumped back down through the hatch.
"Thanks," Jake said.
"No problem," Sarah and another man said.
Jake sat back down in hid seat. It took them another ten minutes to get to the palace. As they drew closer, Quentin said, "The doors are probably going to be locked so we going to have to break in. We're going to abandon the transport and let it smash into the doors."
He stood up and went towards the hatch. Sarah stood up and climbed up the hatch. Then everyone else did. They jumped off the roof and landed in the dirt.
Up ahead, the vampires saw the vehicle driving towards them.
One yelled, "Shoot the tires!"
Luckily for the operatives, the tires were bullet proof. They fired their guns, but they bullets weren't destroying the tires. It just kept on speeding towards them.
"Get out of the way! It's gonna hit!" one yelled.
They all ran out of the way and the transport crashed right into the doors, destroying the doors and most of the wall around them.
Everyone ran up when they weren't looking and began firing the crossbows and using flamethrowers on them. They began firing back. The only problem was that they had machine guns. They managed to dust all the guards at this door. Only two of the council's men were injured.
"When we get in," Quentin yelled to them, "Sarah and Jake are going after the queen while the rest of you are going to follow me."
They stepped in over the debris that lay all over. Sarah and Jake went one way and the others went the other way. They went up to the door on the right and opened it. Two vamps were standing there.
"Rebels!" one yelled.
They call the council rebels because they fought against them unlike other people. One of the vamps turned away from them and ran out the door on the other side of the room. Sarah shot a bolt at the other one. They followed the vamp that had escaped.
"If we get outnumbered, we retreat. Neither of us is dying here. Got that!" Jake called to Sarah.
"Yeah, okay."
The two continued walking, but caught no sight of any vampires.
The Throne Room:
"Your highness, they're here."
"What! How did they get past the guards?" she said.
"I have no idea, your majesty," he said.
"I'm going to have to go into hiding," she told him.
"I only encountered the slayer and that boy," he told her.
"Spike!" she yelled.
A moment later Spike and Drusilla arrived in the room.
"The slayer and that boy are here. Find them and bring them to me!"
"Yes, your majesty," Spike said.
Just then, James and Kenneth entered the room.
"Ah, just the men that I was going to send for," she said.
"What's wrong, your highness?" James asked.
"The slayer and her friend are here and so are the pathetic council operatives. Gather some of the warriors and take out the operatives."
"Right away. But where will you go if the slayer comes for you?" Kenneth asked.
"I'm going to the basement. If she gets past Spike, then I'll have to take her myself. I plan to turn her and the boy."
James and Kenneth left and she got up. There was a passage that led to the basement behind her desk, so she opened the door and headed for the basement.
Somewhere Else in the Palace:
"This sucks," Jake murmured, "We've been searching for her for an hour and we haven't even come across one damn vampire.
The two walked up to another door and opened it. On the other side, there were stairs leading upwards. They walked up to the top. When they reached the top, there were four vamps just standing there.
"Slayer!" one yelled at them.
"Finally some action!" Jake exclaimed and aimed the crossbow at one.
The bolt flew towards and hit the vamp right in the heart. It exploded into dust. Another one ran at Jake and knocked the crossbow out of his hands. It flew across the room and hit the wall on the other side. It was too far to run to without getting attacked. He kicked the vamp away, but it ran at him again.
Jake reached into his pocket and pulled out the stake. Just as the vamp ran at him, he held the stake out and jammed it into its heart. It yelled in pain as it exploded into dust. Jake put the stake back and ran towards the crossbow. He reached it and picked it up.
Jake glanced over at Sarah who was still fighting a vamp. The vamp grabbed Sarah by the neck and was choking her. Jake aimed and fired. The bolt hit it's back and it exploded into dust.
"Nice shot. Thanks," she said, out of breath.
The two of them went up to the door and opened it. On the other side was the throne room and standing right there was two of the strongest vampires, Spike and Dru.
"I knew we'd face you two sooner or later," Jake said.
"Shut your bloody mouth you stupid git," Spike said.
"I can take you, Spike," Jake said, "I almost beat you last time until you fled."
"Spike, you fled from this weak boy? So that's why he's still alive," Dru said to him.
"That's right, I beat him pretty bad last time, almost staked him too, but his buddies attacked me and he ran," Jake went on.
"I disappointed in you, Spikey. That boy has no power what so ever, how could you let him beat you?" Dru said.
"I-I…let my guard down," Spike said.
"You're lying," Dru said.
Jake used their arguing time to aim and fire. He hit his target, Spike's heart. He exploded into dust.
"Nice shot!" Sarah said, "You're almost as good as me."
"Sp-Spike! No! You'll pay, boy. You and the slayer!" she yelled as she turned and ran.
He aimed my crossbow at her back as she ran, but Sarah pushed it down.
"Let her go. We'll get her later. She'll be back soon."
"Shouldn't we at least follow her? She might be headed for the queen."
"Good point. Might as well try."
The two went behind the desk and walked towards the door. Jake decided to stay behind and look through the desk and see what he could find out.
"Go on ahead. I'm gonna search through the desk for any information. I'll be quick," he told Sarah.
"Alright, I'll yell if I get into any trouble."
She opened the door. On the other side was stairs. She walked down them. Jake turned and began rummaging through the desk. He opened the top draw and saw a picture. It was of him and Dani, right before she was turned. Sarah had taken the picture while they were walking through the cemetery.
He searched through another drawer and found a piece of paper. It said a bunch of stuff that Dani was trying to accomplish. He was about to put it back, when something caught his eye. One of the last things on the list was to turn him into a vamp. She still loved him. She wanted Jake to help her conquer the world. He began considering letting her but then pushed it out of his mind.
"I'll never become one of them," he said aloud.
Jake shut the drawer and picked up the crossbow. He turned and walked down the stairs. At the bottom, there was a long hallway with a door at the far end. It was a very long hallway. The door was opened. He ran towards the door, trying to catch up to Sarah. He walked into the room and glanced around. The room was empty except for a bunch of boxes in the far corner.
There was another door on the other side of the room. It was also open. He walked into this room and glanced around. It was a large room with desks and chairs all over. Boxes were all over and a broken computer was laying the floor. The boxes were scattered all over. It seemed like there had been a fight.
"Sarah!" Jake called.
No answer. Jake began to search the room. He walked to the other side and saw something that shocked him. Sarah was lying on the floor in a puddle of blood. There was a small cut on her throat and her arms and face were all cut up. The thing that shocked him the most was that she had been stabbed in the chest. Next to her was her sword and crossbow. He looked behind to see if her back was bleeding. There was a stake protruding from her lower back. He knelt down and checked for a pulse, even though he knew that she was dead. He put his two fingers on her neck. There was a pulse! She was still alive!
"Sarah! Sarah wake up!" Jake shouted.
She began to stir and her eyes opened. She sat up.
"What happened?" he asked.
"I fought her and lost. She was too strong. I came into the room and she was standing at the other door waiting for me. I shot a bolt at her but missed. She drew a sword from behind her and rushed me. I was doing pretty well until she tripped me. Then she sliced my throat. Then she pulled the stake out of my belt and stabbed me in the back. She took the sword off the ground, where I dropped it and she stabbed me in the chest, but not deep. Then she kicked me in the chest. I guess I passed out because of lack of air."
Jake helped her to her feet and picked up her sword. He put it back in the scabbard on her back. He pulled out some bandages and wrapped it around the wounds on her chest and back.
"Thanks," she said while bending down to pick up her stake and crossbow.
"Come on," Jake said while walking towards the door, "we have to dust her."
He opened it and walked through. Sarah followed. It was a jail room. There were two cells in the room. There was someone lying on the floor in one. He looked dead.
"Wake up!" Jake shouted.
The man stirred and looked up at them. Then he stood up.
"Finally, you have come," he said in a raspy voice, "I was waiting for the day when Buffy and the council would save me."
"Buffy is dead," Sarah told him.
"What? She's dead?" he questioned, shocked
"Sorry," Sarah said.
"I will kill that son of a bitch!" he shouted.
"Calm down. Who are you?" Jake asked.
"My name is Angel," he said.
"How did you get here?" Sarah asked him.
"I was visiting Buffy in Sunnydale. I was on my way home when a tranquilizer hit me. Right before I blacked out I saw Drusilla. When I woke up, I was in a cell. A few weeks later, I think, she came and tranquilized me again. I woke up later that day in this cell. I have been waiting for two years in this cell for Buffy to come and save me." Angel said.
"I see," Sarah said.
"How sure are you that Buffy is dead?" Angel asked.
"Pretty sure. How would I be the slayer if she wasn't," Sarah said.
"You're a
slayer!" he said, "That's good. There was another slayer around the same time
as Buffy."
"How was there two slayers at
once?" Jake questioned.
"Buffy died, so a new slayer was summoned. Then that slayer died and another was summoned. The other slayer might have been the one that died," he told us.
"The council told us that Buffy had been killed and that Faith was missing," Jake said.
"Wait a minute, they must not have been sure," Sarah said.
"Which means that the vampires might have Buffy locked up somewhere in here too," Angel said.
"Alright," Jake said, "let's get you out of there."
Sarah gripped two bars and pushed them apart, enough for Angel to squeeze through them. Jake noticed a crossbow sitting on the table near the door. He picked it up and handed it to Angel.
"I have another question," Angel said, "Is there a vampire queen? I overheard some vampires talking about one before."
"Yes," Sarah told him, "she was the slayer before me and she was our friend."
The three of them opened the door and went through. The next room was really small. They went through the door at the other end of the room.
"Slayer! Boy! We meet again."
"Dru, you'll pay for all you've done over the years," Angel said.
"Angel?" Dru questioned, shocked, "You're free."
She rushed him, but he kicked her aside. She punched him in the chest, and then tripped him. Jake ran at her and jump kicked her. She fell to the ground. Sarah pulled her to her feet and Jake held her in a headlock. Sarah held a stake to her chest.
"Where's the queen?" Sarah asked.
"I'll never tell," Dru said.
Sarah pushed the stake into her, but not deep enough to dust her.
"Ouch! I won't tell!"
"I'll kill you! Tell me where she is!" Sarah yelled and pushed the stake a little deeper.
"She is in the room in the basement on the other side of the building," Dru said.
"Tell me where Buffy is?" Angel said.
"What? How did you know she was still alive?"
"Just a guess," Angel said.
Sarah pushed the stake in a little further.
"She's in the cell two rooms over. In the next room, go in the door to the left. She's in a cell in there. Now let me go. I told you everything."
Sarah pushed the stake into Dru's heart and she exploded into dust. Jake opened the door and they entered a room with two doors. One was on the left and one was straight ahead. Jake opened the one on the left. There were also two cells in this room. In the one on the right was a blonde haired girl, who sat on the jail bed.
"Is it dinner time all ready?" she asked Jake.
"I'm not a vampire. I work for the Watcher's Council, my name's Jake. You must be Buffy Summers."
"Finally I can be free of this horrible place," she said.
"Jake, Help!" Sarah yelled from the other room.
"Is there a key in here?" Jake asked Buffy.
"It's in that drawer right there," she said pointing to it.
He walked over and opened the drawer. He reached in and grabbed the key. He headed back over to her cell and unlocked the door.
"Come on, we have to save my friend," he said and tossed her the crossbow.
They ran out of the jail room. Sarah and Angel were surrounded by at least ten vampires. Jake reached in the pouch on his belt and pulled out the stakes.
"Hey bloodsuckers! Over here!" Buffy yelled, "See now that I'm free, you're all gonna get a serious ass whooping."
The group of vamps turned and faced Buffy and Jake. Buffy fired a bolt and one dusted. Behind the vamps, Angel and Sarah also fired bolts, dusting two more. That's when they decided to rush them. One ran straight towards Jake. He shoved the stake into its heart. It exploded into dust. Another one ran at him. He tripped her and plunged the stake into her heart. He glanced around at the others. Buffy and Sarah each faced one and Angel fought off three. They started ganging up on him. That's when something happened that totally surprised Jake.
Angel turned into a vampire. He tore at his enemy's throats, tearing the head off of one. It dusted. He easily dusted the other two. He turned back just as Sarah and Buffy walked over.
"Angel!" Buffy shouted, "I missed you so much." She ran towards him and gave him a hug.
"So I'm guessing that's Buffy," Sarah whispered in Jake's ear.
"Yup," Jake said back, "Come on, we have to find the queen."
Jake turned and went through the other door. The others followed. Sarah and Buffy talked about being the slayer and all the stuff Buffy went through while being a prisoner.
Angel and Jake talked, even though he was a little disturbed by the fact that Angel was a vampire. He told Jake how he was once the most vicious vampire in England two hundred years ago and how he was cursed with a soul by a gypsy.
The group came to the other end of the building. They entered a large room. Boxes and desks were thrown all over and bloody bodies lay all over the floor. The walls had bloodstains all over.
"Giles!" Sarah yelled.
Jake looked in the same direction as her. Giles and Wesley were in the far corner surrounded by a wall of energy. They were still alive.
"Sarah, be careful! She is here in this room somewhere," came a raspy, whisper from Giles, but his attention was drawn to someone else, "Buffy! Is it really you?"
The watcher was shocked as the blonde came into view.
"Yeah Giles. It is," she answered.
"The council had presumed you dead after they found neither yours or Faith's body. We knew one of you was alive because a new slayer was called. We figured you were dead and that Faith skipped town instead of helping you," he said to her.
"Um guys," Jake interrupted, "not to interrupt your reunion but…um…she's here."
The others turned in his direction. There stood the queen, Dani. She looked ready for a fight.
"You're both out, how unfortunate," Dani said to Angel and Buffy.
"You're the queen? You don't look tough at all," Buffy yelled to her.
"Of course you've been locked up all this time. You had no idea that I was the slayer before. I still have slayer strength," Dani said.
"I'll kick your ass any day," Buffy yelled.
"I'd like to see you try. You see this sword here. You know how many of those fools from the council I've killed, too many. You'll be next," Dani yelled.
"Buffy, here!" Jake yelled and tossed her his sword. She caught it and ran at the vampire. She swung the sword towards the vamp. Dani sidestepped and the sword barely missed her.
"Jake, what a pleasant surprise," a voice said.
He whirled around to face Kenneth and James.
"Oh great. Just what I need, more bloodsuckers. Sarah, toss me the crossbow."
She gave it to him and Jake turned to face the two vamps. They were gone. He peered down the hall and they were running. He fired a bolt and missed then ran after them. He stumbled into a room and there they were. The room was really large and looked like a lab. There were all kinds of test tubes and chemicals all over.
"What's wrong scared?" Jake questioned and aimed the crossbow, but not at them. He fired a bolt at the fire extinguisher behind them. It sprayed all over them and blinded their vision. He took that time to fire another bolt at Kenneth. He hit him in the heart.
"See you in hell," he yelled as he exploded into dust.
"Your turn," Jake shouted at James.
He pulled out a little squirt gun that was filled with holy water and fired. It hit him in the face. He screamed in pain as his flesh burned. I reached for a stake and threw it. It spun through the air and landed right in his chest. Jake ran at him and shoved it in. He dusted too.
Jake picked up his weapons and put them away. Then picked the crossbow off the table and looked around. He saw one of the cabinets was open. He walked over and pulled out one of the little needles inside. It was filled with some sort of medicine. There were some files on the cabinet door, he read them. It said the medicine was to rid the host of the demon. In other words, cure the vampires.
"They must have stumbled across this lab before and were trying to keep it hidden," Jake said aloud, "Guess what, I found it."
He grabbed one of the needles and ran back to the room where the fight was.
When he got there, Buffy and Dani were still fighting. Both were pretty cut up. Angel and Sarah were trying to free Giles and Wesley.
"You can't win slayer. Give up and I'll make sure to kill you quickly." Dani yelled.
"Making a deal with a vampire, you've got to be kidding me," Buffy shouted. She swung her sword and Dani's left hand went flying. "Whoops!" she said, "One more to go and you're done."
BEEEEP! BEEEEP! BEEEEP!
A very loud buzzer went off through the building. It sounded like an alarm.
"EVERYONE ARM YOURSELVES! INTRUDERS ARE HEADED TOWARDS THE PALACE!" a voice blared over the intercom.
"Looks like reinforcements are on the way," Buffy said to the queen, "Now you're really gonna get your ass kicked."
Just then a group of people entered the room. No one recognized them from the council. Then Jake realized they weren't operatives. They all had the same scar on their chins.
"Um guys. I don't think they're here to help us," Jake said.
That's when something totally unexpected happened. The scars opened up to reveal a hideous mouth.
"OH…MY…GOD! I can't believe it. I thought these were only fictional," Giles said.
"Giles, what are they?" Sarah asked.
"They are a breed of vampires, much different then our normal vampires. They are mutants. We thought they were only fairy tales. Some people used to tell tales of these creatures. They cannot be killed with wooden stakes and crossbow bolts. They can be killed by sunlight," he said.
"And I'm guessing that we're screwed," Jake said.
Wesley began to speak, "These are mysterious vampires. They will attack other vampires and change them to their kind. They latch their huge mouth onto a human or vampire and began to drink their blood."
"Yup, we are definitely screwed," Jake repeated.
Buffy and Dani stopped fighting and looked in horror.
"Eww. That's just gross," Buffy said.
The mutant vampires lunged at her, their mouths opened, ready to taste her blood.
"Buffy!" Angel yelled as her ran towards her. He transformed into his vampire self. "Back off, you beasts!"
"Angelus, you're working with the humans. I never thought I'd see the day when the most vicious vampire, next to us, decided to work for the humans," one of the mutants said in a scratchy voice, "especially ordinary humans from that council of losers."
"Um excuse me, we're not all ordinary," Buffy said.
"Out of the way, human," one said as he made his way to the Watchers, pushing Buffy to the floor, "Two watchers. I've never had the blood of a watcher. I wonder what your blood tastes like."
"That's it, I'm pissed!" Buffy yelled, "No one pushes the Slayer down without getting their ass kicked!"
"A slayer!" the mutant shouted in delight.
"Make that two slayers," Sarah yelled and pulled her sword from her back.
"Slayer blood, I haven't had that in a several hundred years," he said licking his lips.
He lunged towards them. His mouth was opened once again, ready to taste both of their blood. Sarah and Buffy just stood there swords ready.
"Sarah!" Jake yelled.
"Buffy! No!" Angel shouted.
"Make that three slayers," an unknown voice said from behind them.
An unknown woman jumped out at the mutant vamp with a stake. Instead of slamming the stake into it's back, she slammed it into its side. The vamp dusted.
"Uh oh," one of the others said.
"She knows our weakness," shouted another.
Then they quickly ran out the door. Sarah slid her sword back into the scabbard. Buffy tossed hers to Jake and he put it back into his scabbard.
"Who are you?" Jake asked the stranger.
"The name's Faith, kid," she replied.
"Faith! I thought you were killed," Buffy said.
"B, is that you? You've grown into quite a woman," Faith said, "Who's you're friends?"
"That's Sarah, she's a slayer too. That's Jake, he's Sarah's partner. And you already know Angel."
"Um guys. She escaped," Jake informed.
"We'll get her later," Sarah said, "Her reign as the vampire queen is official over.
"Faith, how did you know how to dust the vamp?" Buffy questioned.
"Simple, their rib cage covers their heart in the front and back. The only way to dust them is to stake 'em from the side or put them in the sun."
"How do you know all this?" Sarah asked.
"I have been following them after I left Sunnydale. I was attacked by some a few years ago and have traveled around the world, hunting for them."
"I thought that you were killed five years ago," Buffy said.
"Well after Dru captured you, I thought they were going to turn you. And I wasn't about to face you again. So I fled. I skipped town," she told everyone.
"Come on, we can get to know each other better back at the base," Jake said, "Oh wait, we have to free Giles and Wesley."
Luckily, Angel had known the reversal spell to break the barrier around the watchers. After they were free, Giles spoke, "The council has reported that all nests around Sunnydale have been burned. Also, the queen was seen fleeing the building by way of underground tunnels. Our spies saw her leaving."
The group left the building and a transport was outside waiting to take them home.
Back at Home Base:
"It's so good to be back," Jake said.
Just then, Quentin and some council members entered the room where they were sitting.
"Excuse us everyone," Quentin said, "We are here to answer any questions that any of you may have."
"How come Dani was summoned to be Slayer if neither Buffy or Faith died?" Sarah asked.
"That's simple. Buffy died a second time after her battle with the hell god, Glory. Dani was summoned after that."
"How come Dani didn't kill Buffy or Angel?" Jake asked.
"Because if they killed Buffy, a new slayer would be summoned. We have no idea why she did not kill Angel."
"Where the hell did those mutant vampires come from?" Buffy asked.
"We had thought that they been sent back to hell. Unfortunately, they have returned."
"How come I wasn't informed that these creatures were real?" Giles questioned.
"Since we thought they had been sent back to hell hundreds of years ago, we decided to keep their existence a secret from watchers, so that their slayers wouldn't get scared."
"Is it possible for a vampire to be cured?" Jake asked.
"Certainly not!"
"I found this back at the palace," he said, reaching into his pocket and removing the needle, "They were in a secret lab that I found. A file near them said the medicine could rid someone of a demon.
"That's impossible!" Quentin shouted.
"Well then why were they trying to keep the lab secret? Because they didn't want anyone to find it since it could cure them," Jake answered his own question.
"Let's try it on Angel," Buffy said, smiling.
"I don't know, Buffy. It might kill me," Angel said, "It could be that it's poison."
"We'll never know unless we try," Faith said.
"No," Angel stated.
"Aww…come on, Angel. It might be worth it," Faith smirked.
"I dunno," Angel muttered.
"Please," Buffy pleaded.
"Oh all right," Angel said, finally giving in, "Let's give it a try."
Jake gave Giles the needle and he put it into Angel's arm. He injected the antidote into the vampire.
Angel howled in pain as the antidote was injected into his body. Suddenly, his face changed. His brow was curled and his face pushed back so that his fangs were revealed.
"He's changing back to Angelus. This is going to get bad," Wesley said.
"Let's get him into a holding cell until we can put the curse back on him," Jake said.
"I knew this was a bad idea," Giles said to Buffy.
Wesley pulled out a tranquilizer and hit Angel with it. He was knocked out instantly. Giles, Sarah, and Jake picked Angel up and carried him to a holding cell. They opened the door and dropped him on the floor.
When the three of them returned to the room, Buffy looked upset.
"This is my fault," she said, "I pressured Angel into letting us inject the stuff into him.
"It's my fault too," Faith muttered, "You weren't the only one."
Then Wesley returned to the room.
"We do not have the spell to restore the curse. Only one person knows the spell and that is Willow," he said, "Where is she, by the way?"
"Willow's gone," Buffy muttered.
"Then we
have only one choice," Jake interrupted, "There is still a chance the medicine
might work. We give him until sunrise tomorrow. We open the shades and if he's
still there tomorrow, it means he's not a vamp anymore."
"Where'd you get that idea?"
Sarah asked.
"I saw it in a movie a while back," Jake answered.
"Which means it's never going to work," Giles said.
"Hey, give the kid a chance," Faith said then turned and smiled at him.
"Okay, might as well give it a try," Sarah said.
Sarah, Buffy, Giles, and Jake went to where we put Angel earlier. He was still out cold. Jake went in and opened the shades. Darkness from the outside poured in.
"Okay, we give him until dawn," Jake informed.
Dawn, the Next Morning:
Jake awoke the next morning and got dressed. He quickly ran down to the holding cells and went to the one where Angel was located. When he got there, Angel was not lying on the cot. But there wasn't any dust on the ground. Jake ran to the closet and got a crossbow. He went back to the cell and opened the steel door.
"Angel! Where are you?" Jake called.
He walked in and looked around. Sunlight shone in through the windows. He glanced around the room. Jake saw him. He was sitting in the corner. His face was covered with a shadow, but he legs were in the sunlight. He did not burn. He slowly stood up.
"I'm human again," he said softly, "it's been so long since I've seen the sun. About two hundred years ago. Thank you.
"Come on, let's get the others."
He was still weak, so Jake had put his arm over his shoulder and helped him walk out. Sarah and Buffy were standing outside the door.
"Angel!" Buffy cried.
"I'm cured of the demon," he told her.
She ran up to him and gave him a hug. Then she kissed him on the lips.
"Good job, Jake," Sarah said.
"Twenty bucks says they have sex tonight," Jake whispered to her.
"No because I already know they will," she whispered back.
The four of them walked back upstairs. Everything was fine again, at least for now.
