It was midnight after Halloween and Xander Harris had suddenly woke up in a tank. "Where am I?" He said, just then he heard something.
"Draining Cloning tank." The tank was drained, "rinsing." Just then warm water had filled the tank and rinsed him clean. Then it drained and then the tank opened up. "I have a towel and your uniform on your left."
"Thanks." So he dried off and found a bodysuit. It was blue, with white sleeves at mid bicep and red forearms. He slipped on a pair of boots and started to look for the person who was talking to him. "Where are you? Who are you?"
"Before I answer that, wouldn't you like to know where you are?" Said the voice, it was female and sounded familiar to him. "You are on the Republic Federation: Sword of Might; Defender of Mankind."
"So the 'Alexander'?"
"No, the ship's name is the Defender of Mankind. Just because your name is 'Xander', doesn't mean that you are the ship." Xander looked confused.
"Who are you?" Just then a very beautiful and sexy woman appeared out of nowhere. She was dressed like Xander, had blond hair and blue eyes. But she look familiar to him. "Jesse?"
"Yep," she said and gave him a huge hug. "I'm the AI of the ship. I mean come on, you and I are partners."
"I guess, we are." He smirked as they walked to the bridge. "So, where are we?"
"Take a look." So he did and saw the Earth floating in front of them.
"Okay, wow. What a view."
"Um hmm," she said.
"What do you want to do?"
"What we were supposed to do. Protect mankind."
"I like that, let's do it." So they started to plan.
(Back in Sunnydale)
Harmony Kendall had got up after a good night's rest. She stretched, she started to wash her face when all of the sudden she saw that the paint wasn't coming off. The area around her eyes was still white and her skin was grey, her hair was still dirty white. She still had an amazon like figure. She was 6 foot 2 and athletic.
"What The Hell?" She screamed, was started to panic. "Okay calm down, the body paint is not coming off and you got memories of another life where you are a bad ass. Nothing to get excited about." She thought, "FUCK THAT SHIT! WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO ME?" Just then she heard something.
[This is the 'Sword of Might; Defender of Mankind' to anyone out there do you read?]
"That's Harris," she said. She found her communicator. It was the size of a flip phone, "this is Chiana Gamora. Xander, is that you?"
[Harmony? Where are you?]
"On Earth, you dork!"
[I Know That! Where On Earth?]
"Oh, I'm home. Lock on my signal."
[Alright, we'll get you up in a minute.]
"Alright." So, she was teleported to the ship.
(On the Defender of Mankind)
Harmony had teleported on to the ship and Xander was in shock. She was in a white jumpsuit and boots. "Well good morning, Captain." She said.
"Well, it's Admiral but, it's good to see you Harm." He said, she hugged him. "Let me guess, you can't change back to your normal self."
"Pretty much," she said.
"Alright; Jess show Harmony to some quarters."
"Right way, oh and you got another call."
[This is John Stark calling the 'Defender', come in 'Defender'.]
"This is the Defender, Mr. Stark." Said Xander.
[I heard you were looking for people. I have Henry Irons, Gamora J'de, Brithena Diggers and Laura Cain with me.]
"Okay, Jess. Pick them up."
"Right away boss!" She said, so she teleported them up. John had short blond hair and grey eyes, he had a mustache and was dressed t-shirt, jeans and boots. Henry was a tall, buffed, bald black man in a tank top, jeans and boots. Brithena was dirty blonde with hazel eyes and was in a t-shirt, shorts, boots was around 6 foot 3 and had a killer body, Laura had long black hair, hazel eyes and was 5 foot 7 and was in a black bodysuit and boots. Gamora was someone Xander recognized.
"Mom?" He said, she smiled at him, she was all green with dark green hair, jade green eyes and was dressed in a sleeveless, purple bodysuit and boots. She hugged him tightly.
"Hello sweetheart," she said.
"So you had got involved in this as well?"
"Yes, we don't have to worry about your father anymore." She hugged him again and kissed his temple. Then John looked at him.
"Xander Harris," he said.
"John Levison?" He said, "YOU'RE Stark?"
"Yep," he said. "Good to see you Xander." Then Andrew and the others went over to hugged him tightly and both girl grabbed him in tearful hugs, because they were originally members of his pack when he was controlled by the hyena. Heidi, who was Brithena, was just sobbing on his shoulder.
Xander was rocking back and forth with her. "Where had you been?" She cried, "I missed you so much."
"Well, I didn't want…" He started.
"We know that you were possessed," said Rhonda, who was Laura. "You didn't want to hurt anybody, you're too much of a gentleman to do that. But, we needed you!" She went to him and hugged him as well. "April and Katie are lost without you Alex."
"Speaking of which, Jesse?" Just then she showed up.
"Yeah boss?" She said.
"Can you find April Tomas and Katie Brand?"
"I'll send out a message to them."
(Back in Sunnydale)
A couple of young women, had went to the Harris residence. One of them was dressed in all silver, had shoulder length silver hair and bright gray eyes. Her partner was dressed in a short black bodysuit, fishnet stockings, boots, a black jacket and gold bracelets. She had blonde hair and blue eyes.
The blond tried the door and found it was locked. She was about to kick it down when the silver haired stopped her. "Let me go in," she said. "I'll let you in." She shrunk to the size of a wasp and went into a crack in a window then she flew in, changed back and opened the door.
The other woman walked in and they started to look around, "ALEX!" Said the blonde, "I'll check upstairs." The other nodded.
"Alex!" Said the silver haired woman, then she came upon a drunk that had attacked her and she took him down breaking his neck, killing him instantly. Just then the blonde one came running down.
"His bed hasn't been slept in April." She said and saw what happened. "What happened?"
"I was attacked Katie, he's dead." Just then they got there was a call.
[This is the 'Sword of Might; Defender of Mankind' to Tomas or Brand do you read?]
April grabbed her communicator, "I got you Defender." She said.
[Prepare for teleport.] With that they were teleported out of the house.
