It's a me! (You must be getting tired of that already. XD)

Just to round up my mass posting of the moment. A little something that puts a slightly new spin on the 'Buffy's Real Family' genre. At least, I think so.

I own nothing. NOTHING!

Buffy and the gang looked up at the snake that had been the Mayor of Sunnydale.

"He's a little longer than forty feet," Xander said.

"Er, yes, it seems we were somewhat mistaken," Giles commented.

"We'll need more explosives," Xander commented. Willow gaped up in fear. Forget frogs, snakes were now on top of her fear list.

Buffy looked past the snake, squinting her eyes. "Come on, Andros, where are you?" The others looked at her.

"Who?" Willow asked. Buffy continued to look at the blackened sky.

"My brother."

Earth's orbit

"We're above Sunnydale now, Andros."

"Put it on screen, Ashley," Andros commanded as the view screen of the Astro Megaship changed to show the top of a large snake.

"That's a little bigger than forty feet," TJ commented dryly. Karone looked back at her brother.

"Andros, is Buffy really fighting that thing?" Andros nodded. Karone's face hardened, reminiscent of the dark being she had been for so many years. "Zhane, we're going down there."

"What?" Andros asked. "No! No way."

"Andros, I'm not leaving our sister to fight down there alone. Zhane and I can do more good down there while you guys bring in the Megazord."

"That's a good idea," Cassie said.

"Yeah," Carlos agreed. "We won't be able to do much against the vampires from up here," not that Carlos wanted to. One vampire run in was quite enough for him.

Andros looked at them a moment, then heaved a sigh. "Okay. Karone, Zhane, go and back Buffy up," Karone gave a squeal, hugging Andros tightly. Andros gave Zhane a hard look. No words passed between them, none were needed. After so many years as friends, then partners, they could read each other better than anyone.

'If either of my sisters get hurt, I'm going to kill you.'

'I'll take care of them.'

"Take my Spiral Sabre," Andros told Karone. She shook her head.

"I'm fine," she told him. There was a flash of purple light as the Wraith Staff she had used as Astronema appeared in her hand. Andros felt a cold shiver run up his spine. "The powers purified, not gone."

"You sure?" Andros asked. Karone nodded.

"I'm going to get our sister back," Karone said, determined, reminding Andros of himself during his long quest to find her.

"Bring her home safe, Karone."

Sunnydale

Minutes later

As the battle against he vampires raged, Buffy took another look at the sky. Where was he?

Her thought was answered by a silver streak that sent vampires flying everywhere.

"She's definitely you're twin, Karone."

"Do not finish that comment, Zhane."

"Okay, okay!"

"Karone?" Buffy whispered, looking at the girl, about her age, holding a dark, diamond topped staff, blasting vampires into dust.

"I'll explain later," Karone said with a smile. Buffy felt a renewed determination enter her as she gripped Faith's dagger.

"You better have a damn good explanation, little sister," Buffy said as she went back to back with the former princess of evil.

"By two minutes! That doesn't count!"

"That so does," Buffy teased, decapitating a vampire. "So…where is he?"

"Well, the snakes a little bigger than forty feet…"

"I noticed."

"…So he's going for plan B," Karone finished.

"Plan B?" Buffy asked, looking up.

As she did so, she saw a shooting star. One coming down very fast.

And getting very, very big.

Buffy gave a gasp as she realised what was coming, then shook her head with a smile.

"Overkill, thy name is Andros."

Cockpit of the Astro Megazord

"Alright guys, everyone ready?" Andros ordered.

"You sure this isn't a bit…much?" Carlos asked.

"Well," TJ said. "It is a big snake. And this is his sisters we're talking about here."

"In other words," Cassie stated. "If we still had the Mega Voyager and Delta Megazord, we'd be going in with all of them."

"Get it together guys," Andros said sharply. "We've got a snake to stomp."

"Right!"
