Author's Notes: the sequel to 'Resurrection', as promised
"Well,"Wesley said, looking across the desk over to Giles and Angel, "I've pored over the codices, the scrolls, and the Aberjan document itself, and the indications are conclusive. Whatever it is that's happened to Spike, it isn't the Sanshu."
"Agreed." Giles said, as Angel sighed in relief. "The receiver of the Sanshu prophecy is supposed to become human, totally and completely. William IS alive, but he is still empowered by his vampiric demon, Spike. Frankly, I haven't the foggiest what it could mean, because most of my arcane library is still at the bottom of the Sunnydale pit, along with the Magic Box." Along with Anya, Jenny, Joyce, and so many others.
"Well, many of the books are duplicated in Wolfram and Hart's collection, here, Giles, and we're working on unearthing as much of the Magic Box, and Revello Drive, as we can." Angel replied, hesitantly. "I wanted to have our crew try to reclaim the bodies from the school, but according to our geologists, that section of town got buried the deepest in the collapse."
At that point, a knock on the door caused everyone to look up.
"Come in." Angel called out.
The head of security looked in, motioned Angel aside, and whispered something to the tall vampire.
"Guys, I've got to go deal with this; Giles, we'll get back in touch. Wesley, can you?"
"Yes, Angel, I'll confer a bit more with Rupert, and see about replacing the majority of the Scoobies collection." As soon as Angel closed the door behind him, Wesley turned back to Giles. "This is bizarre, to say the least. Are you sure Spike said he gained the Sanshu?"
"Yes, it's the bloodiest thing.." a vague look came over the Watcher, then suddenly it was as if light just dawned. "Bloody hell! No, he said it was a prophecy, but HE didn't say it was the Sanshu prophecy, I did!"
"What exactly did he say?"
"The Powers that be could give me a choice of rewards, either Heaven right then, or return to life as a champion, because of some prophesy about Moo- shu Pork, or something like that."
"Well, that does sound like the Sanshu prophecy.."
"Yes, but it isn't. He never said it was the Sanshu, just 'something like that'!"
"So.. it could be some totally unrelated prophecy, that only rhymes with the mushu, er, Sanshu prophecy?" Wesley asked.
"It's possible."
"Unlikely as it sounds.."
"But we've already established that it's not the Sanshu, so the unlikely is the only possible option."
_*_*_*_*
Angel turned to Thomson..
"What is it? Connor?"
"No sir, the boy's still under surveillance, as per your orders."
"Then what?"
"The Sunnydale excavation operation, sir. There's been a few.. incidents."
"Incidents? What do you mean incidents, Thomson? Were they in any of the-"
"No, sir, none of the sections Mr. Whyndam-Pryce or Mr. Giles indicated as dangerous zones were disturbed, or the beta-zones, either."
Whew, Angel thought, none of the sites indicated as First-Evil / Turak-Han sites had been disturbed, or the former graveyards where Joyce Summers, Tara Maclay, and Jenny Calendar had been buried, either. Okay, that was good, he'd hate for anyone to disturb their resting places.. well, where they had been, anyway.
"Then what has happened, Thomson? Something must have, or you wouldn't be telling me this."
"Well, sir, we lost three men in a vampire attack, sir. Standard vampires, not the Firsts' Uber-vamps."
"And?"
"Well, according to the pre-collapse maps of Sunnydale, cross-referenced with geological maps, they were at the former locations of the Bronze nightclub, and the Shady Rest cemetery."
The Bronze? Well, that was familiar enough, he'd been there dozens of times. But why was the Shady Rest nagging at him.. especially in conjunction with the Bronze?
Then it hit him. Luke and Penn. Two of the Master's favorites, besides Darla. That's where each of them had been dusted by Buffy.
