Dedication: To Zxactol, who challenged me to this fiction! And for reading
my others. Sorry it took so long. And to any other readers, hope you enjoy!
Timeline: There are a LOT of fluxuations in the story:
1. This takes place after S7 of Buffy, but before S4 Angel
2. Tara didn't die in S6, but was put in a coma. Instead Warren killed Amy, but still shot Buffy and Tara, and it didn't kill them.
3. Willow did go mad with grief for Buffy and Tara, who she thought was lost forever and Amy's death was just fuel to the fire. Willow did turn evil and did all the important stuff. Everything important happened in the last 3 eps. of S6 w/ different motivation, including Warren being killed and Xander saving Willow by reminding her that all was not lost.
4. Everything important did happen in S7, including the first.
5. Tara has been in a coma throughout s7 and was at the hospital.
6. Kennedy did try to get w/ Willow, but she refused and they became close friends.
7. Instead of Wesley breaking Faith out (since S4 of ats didn't happen), Anya and Xander did, at Buffy's request. Feedback: Always appreciated! Starts in "End of Days"
"Does this mean I can win?" Buffy asked the guardian.
"With these." The Guardian nodded.
Buffy gripped the Scythe, "Plural?"
The Guardian pulled out a necklace with an amulet hanging from it.
"It is to be used in the Final battle."
Buffy took hold of the amulet in her left hand, the right was still holding the scythe. She stared at it.
Without looking up, Bufy asked "What is it?"
"A powerful weapon," The Guardian said, "Much like the Scythe. Their surfacing must mean that an end is truly near."
Two hands reached through the curtain and grasped the Guardian's head and twisted it with a loud crunch.
Caleb stepped out from behind the dead body, "I'm sorry. I didn't hear, on the count of her neck snapping. Did she say an end was near...or here?" * * * * * * * * *
AN: blah, blah... they fight...Angel DIDN'T come, and Buffy still killed Caleb, just with a few more broken bones. Come's home...gets kicked my Dawn, Xander makes a rather inappropriate and uncomfortable joke... they plan.
Starts again at the school talk w/ the original scooby gang.
* * * * * * * * * *
"Well, now aren't we gonna discuss this? Save the world to go to the mall?" Giles complained.
"I'm having a wicked shoe craving." Buffy told her best friends and the closest thing to a real father that she has.
"Aren't you on the patch?" Xander joked.
"Those never work." Willow chimed.
"Here I am, invisible to the eye..." Giles complained again.
The trio began to walk down the hallway, and separated until Buffy was the last one to find her exit. "You ready?" Buffy asked. "Never been more ready." Kennedy said. "You're sure about this?" Buffy cautioned. "Absolutely." Buffy took a deep breath and handed Kennedy the Amulet. They went into the room and all the potentials, with Faith and Buffy, began to spill their blood.
* * * * * "Oh.My.Goddess." Willow was surrounded by a gold light. Her hair became pure white as she endowed each potential slayer with the power that Buffy and Faith possess.
In the cave the girls could feel the transformation. Each girl felt stronger, faster and better than ever.
Buffy led her sister slayers into battle. She shouted out commands. The power slowed in Willow until it was over, but she was still buzzing. She stood up and ran to the cave, "Buffy!" Buffy turned around and turned around to see her best friend, they smiled.
Before she could focus on the battle once more, she felt a cold, sharp stabbing in her back.
"Buffy!" Faith and Willow shouted simultaneously. They both rushed to her side. Kennedy felt a burning in her chest, "Willow!" She shouted through the chaos and light streaming though the amulet.
Willow was torn, but Buffy managed to let a "Go.Will." Escape her lips. Willow smiled, "I love you Buff." Then she let go of her best friends hand to run her other friend.
"B?" Faith asked as Buffy's body began to slump. Buffy was on the floor and growing tired with every second. "Faith. Fight." Faith took her hand off Buffy's arm and nodded as she stood up and returned to the fight.
The pain was screaming inside Buffy. 'This must have been what Faith felt like.' Buffy thought guiltily. Buffy had been stabbed before, but that was with a wooden stake. A blade was so much colder and metallic. She watched the chaotic scene play out before her as her vision blackened. She wondered if this was the end.
She wanted Willow to make it through so she could see Tara wake up. She wanted Dawn to be able to have everything she couldn't, and everyone else she cared about to be able to have some kind of normal life after all this. She didn't want it to be the end for her. She wanted to see him again, tell him she always will love him, she's always his girl. Buffy watched Willow tend to Kennedy, and Faith try to protect Amanda, and failing. She saw Spike battle 2 Uber-Vamps and protected them from Kennedy and Willow.
Then a vision of herself walked toward her. "Oh no. ow. Mommy, this mortal wound is all...itchy." It knelt in front of Buffy's aching body. "You pulled a nice trick. You came pretty close to smacking me down. What more do you want?" The First asked.
Buffy was fuming at the First's mockery. She felt her anger turn to adrenaline and strength.
Through gritted teeth Buffy said, "I want you..." She sits up, "to get out of my face." She is standing.
The First's eyes grew larger as a look of fury came onto the real Buffy's face. Faith threw the Scythe to Buffy and in one fluid motion Buffy destroyed 3 Uber-Vamps.
AN: Reminder, Willow and Kennedy had nothing more than a friendship cause of Tara.
"Kennedy!" Willow cried. The cave rumbled, "We gotta go!" Faith yelled an led everyone but Willow and Buffy out of the cave. Willow stood next to Kennedy. "Come on." She whispered, "It's time to go."
Kennedy winced from the burning, "No. I have to finish this. It's my destiny." "Will! We have to go!" Buffy said, waiting on the stairs. "Thanks red." Kennedy said. "For what?" Willow asked, a tear falling from her face. "Being my friend." Willow followed Buffy out of the cave and out of the school, following Anya and Xander. Willow was crying now and moved slower. Buffy took her hand, "There's nothing we can do." Buffy pulled her best friend out of the falling school and to the bus.
"Go!" she shouted as soon as she had one foot in the door, and Robin went.
* * * * * They out-ran the diminishing city that had been their homes for years. Willow and Xander had grown up there, and Buffy had become a woman there, she met the love of her life there and killed him in Sunnydale. She died there, twice, and now it was falling. Giles switched with an injured Robin and drove. Everyone was trying o fix up as much as possible with the supplies they had. "Where shall we go to?" Giles asked Buffy. She too a deep breath, "LA."
