Title: Star Wars: Episode III: The Coming of the Slayer
By: Pandora North Star*
Summary: The Scooby gang ends up on opposite sides of the force when they are called across the universe to help in an intergalactic war. (Set after Villains and Episode II)

Part One
Not so long ago, in a very recent past a young woman, of great power was wronged. So she took it upon herself to avenge her dead lover. Her dark power called across the universe to a great man of evil. His name was Lord Sidious. About the same time, another person called out in pain. His anger stretched across the universe.
But to every force there is an equal and opposite one. Master JedI Yoda, felt the conviction of a young woman, who was so full of the force he knew she would be key in the Clone Wars.

"Senator Dooku." Lord Sidious beckoned his new protégée into the room. The senator nodded and entered. The door slid closed behind him. In front of Lord Sidious there was a hologram map of the known galaxies. "Do you know about the planet earth?" Lord Sidious's knarled hand reached out from the folds of his robe and pointed.
"I believe it is on the outer rim, in the Milky Way Galaxy. Primitive, isn't it?"
"Yes. It is. But there is a great force growing there. Can you feel it." Senator Dooku closed his eyes and rubbed his graying beard.
"Yes Master. I sense it."
"The Clone Wars have only begun. My plans have just been set in motion."
"Are you suggesting we look into having this force nearer to us?"
"I might be."

Master Yoda gazed out the window of the high rise on Corusant. "Master Windu, arriven you are."
"Yes, Master Yoda." Mace window nodded and sat in his chair. He pressed his fingers together to wait for the wisdom from the small Jedi in front of him.
"Growing the Dark Side Is."
"Yes. I'm worried too."
"Hope we have."
"Hope?"
"Earth. I have been feeling the power of the force. Clouded by the dark side, the light side shines through." Yoda turned slowly, his three fingers gripping his walking stick. "The loss of Anakin is a great one."
"What do you suggest then?"
"Finding this power. For Obi Wan Kenobi a new Padawan is in store."
"On that planet? It barely touches the outer rim. I doubt they have even heard of The Republic, no less the force."
"The point, entirely it is." Yoda smiled, his knowing smile. "Strange times, coming are they."
"Yes master. I will call the council to make the plans."

Xander and Buffy stood in the woods, watching Willow walk away, hardly certain of what they had seen, but only knew it was an act of pure evil, untouched by hate or fury, that drove normal mortal darkness. A soft whirring sound came and they turned. A blue glow spread out from the trees a few hundred yards away. Buffy nodded to Xander and they trooped towards the light. Buffy stopped suddenly, and Xander bumped into her.
A silver spaceship sat in a clearing. A door opened and a man walked out. He was wearing dark brown robes and had the beginnings of a beard.
"Good day."
"Who are you?" Buffy asked, exchanging glances with Xander.
"My name is Obi Wan Kenobi. I am on a mission from Corusant."
"From where? What is that? Is this some secret military operation?" Buffy remembered The Initiative, and the all to recent return of Riley.
"Corusant, it is a planet in another galaxy, in the center of the republic." The man bit his lip. "I'm afraid I don't know how to explain this very well." He licked his lips. "Here it goes. I am a Jedi. I am a keeper of intergalactic peace for The Republic. A war has just started, between The Republic and Separatists. I use the Force, the thing that makes all life, to keep the peace. My Master has felt The Force coming strong from your planet, especially you, and bid you come to help us in the fight. If we lose it will effect the entire universe."
Buffy and Xander burst out laughing. "God, what cult set this up?"
"Excuse me?"
"We just don't think you are for real?"
"My Master did not believe you would. He said earth was primitive, and uninformed in the ways of the Universe."
"Whatever. We have a crazy witch to save." Buffy turned and started walking away. Suddenly there was a buzz by her ear and there landed in front of her a glowing stick, in a tree.
"You will listen." Buffy turned as Obi Wan Kenobi walked over to the tree and pulled out the stick.
"How did you do that?" Xander's jaw dropped.
"This is my light saber." Obi Wan Kenobi pressed a button at the bottom of the light stick and it turned off. "I can not make you come unless it is of your own free will."
"I'm all for going Buffy. Maybe there can help us with Willow."
"Are you serious Xander? She's crazy evil and you want to hop on a fake spaceship because he has a cool Disney Ice Show Glow toy?" The earth shook and Obi wan Kenobi went pale.
"The Siths." He charged past Buffy. They followed Obi Wan Kenobi and watched a ship stop in front of Willow.
"My, what's this?" Willow snickered as Senator Dooku hopped out.
"You're the one." The Senator murmured. "Good day, young one. I am Senator Dooku of the Separatists, in the Clone Wars, taking place elsewhere in the universe."
"Uh huh? Bored Now."
"We want to teach you to use your power for the dark side of the force."
"Of course, he's evil. I bet he's the Sith master." Obi Wan whispered to himself.
"I promise you unending power if you'll come with me."
"Why not." Willow's eyes flashed as she followed the man back to the ship.
"Oh god. This isn't happening." Buffy buried her head in Xander's shoulder. "This is like some bad sci-fi movie gone wrong. Can we wake up now."
"Come along. We don't have time to spare." Obi Wan said gently. Xander guided Buffy back to the ship, she didn't have the effort to argue. On the ship Obi Wan helped them find a spot to sit.
"What's that?" buffy nodded to a little round blue and white thing in the corner.
"That's R2D2. He's a droid."
"Like a robot?" Xander waved his hand in front of the little thing and it beeped to life. Xander chuckled as it started spinning around.
"Calm down R2. It's alright."
"So like how far is Corusant from here?"
"A couple minutes once we get into Hyperdrive. Maybe a few hours till then."
"Are you kidding? A couple hours to get across the universe?"
"No. Across the Galaxy."
"That's really fast."
"What are your names by the way? I suppose I should know them if you're going to be trained in the way of the Jedi."
"Hey man." Buffy held her arms up. "We're coming along but we aren't committing ourselves to anything."
"Of course." Obi Wan nodded, but he had a smirk on his face.
"I'm Buffy. This is Xander. That dark girl was our friend, who is having some trouble."
"Yes. I hate to say it but I'm worried about her. She was pulled to the dark side." Obi Wan rubbed his chin.
"Wait. I know this!" They looked at Xander who jumped out of his chair. "Fear leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering. Suffering leads to the dark side."
"That's right." Obi Wan agreed, in surprise.
"I'm not sure how I knew that."
"Your first mission when we get there is to retrieve my ex Padawan Anakin. The Council can't risk losing anymore Jedi right now. The first battle proved great."
"But you can lose us?"
"Rather the opposite. We know we won't lose you. And looking at you now," Obi Wan paused to consider Buffy. "I'm certain of it."
"Cos she's the Slayer. She's already died three times. Death is like a daily activity for her." Xander said proudly.
"Interesting." Obi Wan murmured, focusing his attention on flying.
Buffy was speechless, as they approached Corusant. "It's like the Jetsons. Like really."
"So many people. Such a small place." Xander agreed. The ship docked on top of a building and they climbed out.
"Welcome young earthlings." A strange green creature waved his hand. Xander and Buffy looked at each other.
"Is it just me, or is that Kermit the Frog in clothing?"
"It's not just you."
"Buffy, Xander, Meet Master Yoda. He will be helping you learn the ways of the Jedi."
"Again why will this help us stop our friend?"
"Involved now she is, in the fate of the universe. Special you are."
"Hey, he talks backward." Xander laughed and Buffy elbowed him in the ribs, upon seeing the serious faces of the men and women around her, in loose tan robes.
"I suggest you follow quietly." Obi Wan said, leading them into the building.
