Chapter Two: Halloween Night
Xander never felt more relieved when the plane touched down at Sunnydale airport on 8.00 am. Together with his parents, he got off the plane, feeling like a totally different person since he left two days ago. The first was the green lantern ring which was a powerful tool in its own right. The second was Rewana's memories of impending doom for this dimension. He really needed to talk to Buffy and the others soon.
Luckily it was Sunday. When he had reached home and changed, he quickly put a phone call to Willow and Buffy. He reached the answering machine at Willow's house and Joyce picked up on the second ring at Buffy's house.
"Buffy?" Joyce said in surprise as she picked up Xander's call. "I think she's at the library. She told me she's studying with Willow."
"Thanks Mrs. Summers!" Xander said, quickly putting down the phone. Willow and Buffy were most probably at the high school library, on a weekend, which meant something was up. Most probably something evil.
Quickly gathering up a stake and a few bottles of holy water from his weapon drawer, he left his house by the back door.
Walking quickly towards the library, he wondered what he should tell Buffy and the others. He did not have much chance to try out the ring. Though from Rewana's memories, the ring could do virtually anything the wielder imagined, as long as his or hers' will power was strong enough.
Reaching the library, he entered to find Giles, Buffy and Willow pouring over piles of books.
"Hey guys! So what's the apocalypse this time?" Xander asked with false cheer.
Willow looked up with a squeak, engulfing Xander in a tight hug.
"You're back!" Willow said happily.
"World destroyed by evil demon armies, same old same old." Buffy said tiredly, eye bags obvious in the morning light.
Xander froze. "Demon armies?" Xander asked, Rewana's memories surfacing, hordes of demonic creatures coming at them, wave after wave…
"…Xander! Xander! What's wrong?" Willow asked shaking him worriedly.
"Nothing." Xander said shaking his head. "I got something to tell you guys myself, but first, tell me what's happened."
"Well Buffy had a vision the night you left for New York." Willow said.
"Basically some powers thingy were telling me about doom and death in another dimension." Buffy said, causing Giles to wince and Xander to stare at her in shock. Not noticing the look, Buffy began to talk about her vision in detail. "…and so we ended up doing research for two days straight. Because we don't know when this First Evil will be crossing into our dimension."
"I can give you the answers to that." Xander said distantly. "You said you saw the Green Lanterns making their last stand against the demon armies."
"Well I think the boy said they were Green Lanterns, but I can't be sure…."
"Theyare Green Lanterns." Xander said in a firm voice. "Because I am one and I bear the memories of one Rewana, Green Lantern of Rezurbim."
With that he raised his ring and for the first time really tapped into its powers. Beads of sweat formed on Xander's face as he tried to bend the powers of the ring to his will.
"Xander, what are you doing?" Giles asked. "Are you alright?"
"Giles, wait." Buffy said, feeling the stirrings of energy around her. "Xander…"
The energy suddenly came into form and Giles, Buffy, Willow and Xander were floating in the darkness of space looking down at a planet which Buffy found very familiar.
"That's it! That's the planet Giles! That's the planet everyone was fighting in the last battle." Buffy cried out as Giles and Willow turned to Xander in shock. "Xander! What did you do?"
Xander gave a gasp and suddenly the images collapsed around them and Buffy found herself back in the high school library. She looked in worry at Xander who was panting heavily as if he had run a marathon.
"They fought and all of them died there, on the planet Oa." Xander said grimly when he got his breath back. "I am the last of the, the last of the Green Lantern."
"Xander, what kind of magic did you do just now? And what is this about the Green Lanterns?" Giles asked seriously, for once Xander had managed to startle him.
"I think we better sit down first." Xander said wearily, leaning on a chair. He waited until everyone was seated before he began. "It started when I found this woman in an alley in New York yesterday. Her name is Rewana, one of the Green Lanterns from another reality which was under attack by demonic forces. She escaped here to warn the Green Lanterns here of the dark forces that were going to attack this dimension as it did to her's. Her injuries were serious and she passed away before she could do that. I was chosen next as the bearer of the ring."
"You mean this is like Lord of the Rings?" Willow breathed.
"Willow, now's not the time for that." Giles cut in. "The ring what does it do? What are the consequences of using it?"
"The ring is a symbol of the Green Lanterns. The Green Lanterns are police of the universe in their dimension, fighting crime and evil with the powers of their rings. With sheer willpower, anything could be summoned or created from the power of the ring. The consequences as you may call it are that the ring needs energy to power and needs to be recharged every time the energy runs out." Xander lifted a pouch in his hands, taking out two green rocks. "Normally a power battery in the shape of a lantern is needed to recharge the ring, however in this dimension, these meteor rocks seems to be its power source."
"Anything could be created?" Giles asked, his voice sounded tight. "What if the ring falls into the wrong hands?"
"I am not sure." Xander said. "Before she died, Rewana passed all her memories to me. I know that some of the so call "minor" green lantern rings could be tapped into by other people than the ring bearers. Rewana was one of the senior Green Lanterns and her ring had several safety measures that reflect that. Supposedly, her ring is keyed to her only, and upon her death to the next bearer."
"I see, could I take a look at it?" Giles asked.
Xander nodded taking off the ring and passing it to Giles. However the moment it touches Giles' hands, it vanished and reappeared on Xander's ring finger.
"A protection." Giles mused. "You said you have the memories of this Green Lantern woman. Do you have anything that can identify the First Evil and the demonic armies Buffy saw?"
"Yes and no." Xander said with a shudder, remembering how he had spent the previous night at the hotel shifting through Rewana's memories.
"The Green Lanterns were first aware of the First Evil when they sensed several neighboring dimensions next to theirs were being consumed by darkness. Some of the more powerful Green Lanterns possesses the abilities to see through the veils between dimension. At first, they only kept an eye because it was worrying, but realized the dangers as the dimensions around them began to die out." Xander said.
"The First Evil gained a foothold in their dimension when someone opened a gateway for it. Apparently, unless it was specifically invited or there was a great unbalance of forces in a dimension, it can never enter." Xander continued. "After that, the rest was history, the First Evil was an entity without form that thrives on fear and destruction. At her heels came hordes of demons. The Green Lanterns and other Champions of that dimension fought in vain, helpless against the powers of the First Evil. And when the Central Power Battery, the source of all Green Lanterns' powers was breached, all hope was lost. The Green Lanterns fought back with what little remaining powers they had left but all died in the end."
"With their last breath, they pooled their powers and sent Rewana here in the hopes of warning the Green Lanterns in this dimension of the danger. But there were no Green Lanterns here, not in this reality. I was given the ring and its powers. I am the last Green Lantern."
"I see, a bunch of heroes… And so an entire dimension was destroyed." Giles said ashen. "Do you know how the First Evil was invited into the other dimension?"
"Not much, other than the fact that the summoning happened at a place where the veils between dimensions were the weakest."
"Oh God.." Giles breathed.
"What?" Buffy asked.
"There are several areas in magical senses where the veils between worlds are very weak. One of the places is on a hellmouth, an active hellmouth." Giles said.
"Sunnydale." Willow breathed.
"And I think I know why Buffy got her vision." Giles said. "Whatever is going to happen, it's going to happen here."
"Well they'll have to get through me first." Buffy said scrunching up her fist.
"And me." Xander said. His ring glowing with a green light.
"No." Giles cut in. "Until we know more about the ring, its better not to use its powers."
"But I know about the ring, I've Rewana's memories!"
"Yes, but do you have her mental strength? You said those Green Lanterns are cops in their universe. That means she must have undergone some training to handle the ring." Giles said. "From the way you said it, this ring possesses unlimited power, at your hands can you promise you would not abuse it? Everything has a price, great power will corrupt those who are not prepared for it. I am only asking you to not depend on it too much until you have the mental preparation for its use." He looked into the distance as if haunted by some thought.
"Maybe if I was still the old me, I'll be worried." Xander said after a pause. "But I have Rewana's wisdom and memories to guide me. She is an exceptionable woman Giles. Just and fair. I've seen her died in front of me trying to warn this world of the coming of the First Evil, I'll not tarnish her memories as a green lantern or the vow I make to her."
"Wow serious much?" Buffy said cutting in. "So Xander has a magic ring, which means more help on the hell mouth right?"
"Perhaps." Giles said wiping his face. As if trying to shake free some memories. "I've much to tell the council. In the mean time, I suggest we all keep an eye around Sunnydale for any suspicious demons or person trying to open a portal for the First Evil. And Xander, tell me truthfully, how much control do you have over the ring? And do you know when the First Evil will arrive?"
"The Green Lanterns detected several dimensional portals a year before the First Evil crossed over. They think it was linked but they never had any proof. At least we're looking at a year's duration before that thing cross over to our dimension. The theory was the First Evil sent its minions through the portals to prepare the summoning ritual as it was somehow bared from entering individual dimensions without invitation. And well about the ring.. I was planning to start trying things out today…"
"Say no more." Giles said walking into his office. "Work on it and perhaps you can be an asset alongside Buffy. I need to present the information you've given me to the council, this is serious. And in the meantime, we need to look for demons on the hellmouth that does not fit the usual mould."
"Guess I am not the only superhero in town anymore." Buffy said as Giles left.
They didn't notice that Willow was unusually quiet.
"So what can you do?" Buffy asked when the three were alone once more.
"Well, according to Rewana's memories, each Green Lantern is different in the way they manipulate the ring's powers because of their will powers and thought processes. The most basic is light summoning." Xander said with deep concentration. Several balls of white lights came into being around him, hovering around him.
"Wow that's pretty." Willow said, awed.
"Yeah, but I am getting one hell of a headache summoning them." Xander panted. "The ring's power may take many forms, but if I don't have the stamina to use its powers to the fullest, it's just another tool in my hand."
"But it chose you, so that means you must be special right?" Willow asked.
"Not really.. According to the memories, the ring looks for someone with a certain kind of will power." Xander said with a frown as a stray memory from Rewana drifted into his head.
She was in an alley horribly injured, the ring's power was low and she dared not use too much of it. She bit her lips in frustration. "What about here, in this area?"
Scanning. The ring said in her head. Found one metahuman of unknown origin. Two feet away.
"Wait ring, what does metahuman means?" Xander asked out loud.
"Xander, what are you talking about?" Buffy asked in puzzlement.
Metahuman is a human who evolved into a higher form of the current human, usually with some special senses or powers. The ring spoke in his head.
"Scan all humans in this room now, audio format activated." Xander said.
"Scanning." A rich male voice sounded from the ring. Buffy and Willow gaped in surprise. "3 metahumans found in this room. 1 appears to be a magic user with powerful store of magical energy. 2 unknown."
"Who is the magic user?"
"Red haired human beside you." The ring replied.
Xander looked at Willow in surprise.
"Okay what's this about?" Buffy asked while Willow continued to gape.
"I remembered something from Rewana's memories, about the fact that I am a metahuman. So I asked the ring to scan again." Xander explained.
"And it said we're all metahumans and that Willow is a powerful magic user?" Buffy said with a raised eyebrow.
"But I've never done magic before." Willow spluttered. "Well not real stuff, just some browsing on the internet…."
"A metahuman is a higher evolution of human race." Xander said.
"So Buffy's a slayer with super strength and all, and I have magic potential… What about you Xander?" Willow asked, her sharp mind quickly putting the pieces together.
"I don't know." Xander said. "But what are the chances that the three of us would meet, be together fighting vampires and demons?"
"What do you mean Xander?" Buffy asked with a frown.
"I think someone is watching over us." Xander said seriously. "Maybe we are not so alone in our fight after all."
"Maybe not." Buffy said, thinking about the boy in her vision.
Willow groaned as she woke up. She had stayed up late after she had left the gang at the library. Xander was trying to summon fireballs and lightning bolts when she had left while Buffy said she wanted to check out the nearby cemeteries. It had been a slow week, demon wise, so she had told Willow to go home while Xander opt to practice with his magic ring in case the next big bad came.
When she reached home, she had instead went online to the online witch coven website she frequented, drinking in the various spells and ways of casting magic. After all Xander's ring had said that she had magical potential. Willow had to admit, when she heard that Xander had a ring with powers of its own, she had feared that she'll be the burden in the group, the one who could not fight well, could not do anything. But now she had a new direction. She's going to master witchcraft to help Buffy and Xander, to prove that she's not useless.
She reached school feeling decidedly perkily but paused when she saw Buffy and Xander in front of her being cornered by Synder. Walking slowly forward, she heard Synder proclaiming in a loud voice that Xander and Buffy sigh up for some activities. Buffy wore a constipated look while Xander looked at Synder as if he was nuts. It was at this moment Synder turned around and spied her.
"Ah young Miss Willow, just the responsible person I am looking for. Sign up! Sign up!" Synder said pressing a form and pen to her.
"Huh?!" Willow asked, petrified.
"You'll be bringing young children trick or treating tonight. The event starts at 4 and ends at 6 sharp." Synder said in a firm no nonsense voice.
"But I got.." Willow sighed, quailing under his stare and signed the form.
"There that's easy isn't it?" Synder said, taking the form and blustering away to get more prey for his event.
"Why that obnoxious troll." Buffy grumbled. "Halloween, the only night when the undead stays in and I have to take kids out trick or treating! Man this is so unfair."
"I can't believe he just dragged us in like that." Xander agreed.
"I was planning to study Math." Willow groaned and stopped when Xander and Buffy shot her horrified looks.
"Math?!" Buffy grossed. "You know what Xander? I think Willow definitely needs to go trick or treating."
"I totally agreed. Not that studying isn't good and all…"
"But one must enjoy life as well." Buffy continued. "Come let's pick up a nice costume for you after school."
"I think I already had a costume…"
"Not dressed as a ghost again you don't." Xander cut in. "Buffy, Willow's been dressing as a ghost for Halloween since we were five!"
"Well, this year the tradition is going to change a little." Buffy said determinedly. "We're hitting that new costume shop after school."
Spike stirred from his sleep to a shrill cry from Drusilla. Getting to her side quickly, he held her still as she started to tremble.
"Green Power's might! Too strong! Too bright!"
"Dru! Dru calm down, I'm here darling I'm here." Spike said nuzzling her.
"We need to leave." Drusilla said sounding coherently for once. "I see our deaths, here."
"Argh it's crowded." Buffy complained as they pushed through the crowd in the costume shop.
"I heard that this store is selling everything at half price." Xander said. "So I guess everyone flocked here. Hey look! A vampire mask!"
"Don't tempt trouble Xander." Buffy said slapping away the mask in Xander's hands. "First we are going to find something cool for Willow."
"Do we really have to?" Willow whined.
"Yes Willow, I as your friend, cannot stand by and let you pass Halloween as a ghost." With that, Buffy lead her to the end of the store, looking at an eighteenth century costume with interest.
"No Buffy! I am not stuffing myself in that!"
"Geesh Willow, calm down, I am thinking of buying that for myself." Buffy mused than shook her head at the looks Xander and Willow were shooting her. "Never mind, that dress is so not me."
She walked a few paces than stopped in front of a provocative uniform filled out nicely by a female model. There was a laser gun in the model's hands.
"Cool!" Buffy said. "That's what I call combat ready!"
Reaching underneath the uniform, Buffy checked the price tag. "Hmm, fifteen bucks, I can afford that." She began undressing the model, passing the gun to Xander.
"Great now that my costume is ready, let's find yours Willow!"
Willow groaned.
They scoured the shop for a few more minutes before stopping in front of three models at the other end of the shop. One of the models was already stripped while the other two remained.
"These look like ninja costumes." Xander mused.
"They're cute!" Buffy gushed. "I can just imagine how that pink outfit will look on you Willow."
"Well it doesn't look too revealing…" Willow agreed slowly. "I guess I could live with it. But Xander, what about your costume?"
Xander looked embarrassed. "Well I spent my savings buying up those meteor rocks for the ring. So I am dressing as soldier boy tonight! I've still got my father's old army clothes."
"Well then that settles it, you can dress as the second ninja!" Willow said happily, pointing to the white and blue male outfit next to the pink ninja clothes. "I'll pay for it."
"Willow, they cost forty bucks altogether!" Xander said exasperated.
"You know I've got the money Xander, mom and dad always gave me lots.. to make up for not being there I guess." Willow said in a matter of fact way. "And if you don't dress up as a ninja with me, then I am sticking to ghost for the night."
"Oh accept it." Buffy said, knowing Xander's pride.
"Fine, but when have you became so manipulative?" Xander said twisting Willow's nose as he turned and began to take down the costumes.
"Since when it matters." Willow said. She gave an eepp when a middle aged man appeared behind her.
"Ah I see you wanted the ninja's outfits." The man said. "I am Ethan Rayne, owner of this shop. It's too bad the other costume was sold… but if I remembered correctly, the other outfit was also a male outfit and much smaller so it wouldn't match you three."
"Nah, it's okay, Buffy is dressing as something else tonight." Xander said.
"I see, anyway, would you like taking that giant scroll with you as well?" Ethan asked pointing to the large paper styrofoam painted scroll with a carrying strap beside the first empty model. "The guy who brought the first costume forgot to take it with him, so I was wondering if you want to take it along to compliment yours?"
"Well it looks quite grand, I guess I could carry it for the night." Xander said slowly.
"Magnificent. How about I cut through the queue so you guys could pay and get dressed earlier?"
"That will be nice. Thank you!" Buffy said, turning to Xander and Willow as they followed Ethan to the sales counter. "Wow the service here is really good." She remarked.
Blessed silence descended upon the store when Ethan closed at last for the day.
"Now the fun begins." Ethan said with a chuckle as he went into the small room behind the store.
"Now look at me kids." Xander called out to his little bunch of pirates. Well ok, there were a few demons and fairies in the mix but most were pirates. "When you beg for candies, open your eyes wide, look at the old uncle and aunties and say…."
"Please!" the children chorused, some giggling.
Xander smiled. It was easy coaching the kids to the way of getting free candies. He wandered, had he ever been this young? His smile faded as he thought of his childhood friends, Willow… Jess…. Jess who became a vampire and was staked by him.
Bitterness welled in his heart and Xander quickly shook his head clear. He still had Willow and he's going to make sure she stayed alive.
"Come kids, fifth stop, Mrs. Dursely's house." Xander said making his way across the street when he heard growling behind him. Turning, he gaped at his little gang of rug rags who had turned into small demons, fairies and pirates?!
"Oh God…" Xander said, summoning the ring's powers just as a wave of energy swept over him.
Rommie awoke to consciousness. And looked around her in a state of awareness. Something bumped into her with a growl and she gave an uncharacteristic squeak. Turning, she found herself looking down at what looked like a Magog youngling and kicked it away with a disgusted cry.
She took a deep breath to center her thought processes, she was an android of the Starship Andromeda, and she would not be disgraced by some Magog child. She looked around her and gasped as she saw little pirates, fairies, magogs and other fantasy creatures running around a primitive street lit only by electric street lamps.
"What the hell is going on?" Rommie said trying to patch through to the starship. "Andromeda? Andromeda? Can you hear me? We have a situation here."
Sakura looked around her in horror. She was on her way back home when she suddenly found herself in the middle of nowhere with monsters running around her. Taking out her kunai from her pouch she dropped into a battle stance. Whatever these monsters were, she's not going down easy.
"Grr!!" Something cried from her right.
Spinning around, Sakura release her chakra and jumped into the air, avoiding the monster rushing towards her. Letting fly the kunai which glanced off the monster's tough hide.
By the Great Gods, what are these creatures?
The child walked through the streets looking around him and shaking his head in sadness. The folly of whoever had cast the spell, but he could not interfere, not when he had more important things at hand. Destiny would have to run its path.
He walked towards a bright green glow in the distance and stopped beside it. The young Green Lantern was trapped in stasis behind the Green Lantern's powers as it tried to fend off the chaos magic threatening to overwhelm the boy.
"You have much to learn boy." The child said shaking his head. He reached his hand forward, passing through the shield of energy easily and touched the ring.
The last spark of the life core from its mother dimension was still in the ring, but that dimension was already lost. Already the First Evil was massing its armies against this dimension. This boy needed more than an ordinary Green Lantern's ring. This boy needed more power if his plan was to succeed.
"Awaken young one. From now until the end of time. I grant you… life."
Xander blinked. For a brief moment he felt like he was possessed again, like the time with the hyena spirit.
"What the hell happened?" He asked groggily as he became aware of the chaos around him.
A powerful spell attempt to overcome you just now. The ring said. I was able to fight it off.
"Are you supposed to do that?" Xander asked. "The making decisions of your own, not that I am not grateful for it."
I seemed to have developed a consciousness since arriving in this dimension. The ring said.
Xander shrugged, grunting as he heaved the scroll he had slung to his back onto the ground. The scroll had become heavier and now he could see why, the styrofoam scroll had changed to a thick leather scroll that was heavy in weight.
"What happened?" Xander asked amazed.
From my calculations, it seemed that the citizens of this town had turned into their costumes. Similar changes seemed to have been wrought onto your physical body though my power has enabled your consciousness to return. The ring replied.
"What?!" Xander said in shock. "Willow and Buffy! I've got to find them."
He looked at the heavy scroll. "I guess I'll just dump it here."
I am detecting powerful energy readings from it. It might not be wise to leave it here. The ring said.
"Oh God." Xander groaned, heaving it up his back again. "Alright can you tell me where Willow and Buffy are?"
Young Willow is nearby. The ring said. A few feet to your right.
Xander took off, taking care to avoid the mini demons running around. He bumped into a brightly colored imp and shuddered as it cried out.
"I am a teletubby!" The little imp said before running away.
He found Willow a few blocks later fighting off several monster large and small at great speed. But it was obvious she was tiring fast.
Summoning the power of the ring, several green fireballs slammed into the monsters causing them to run off for cover.
"That is a powerful jutsu." Willow exclaimed looking up. "I see you are also a Konoha's ninja though I've never seen you before." She said pointing at Xander's head band which bears the symbol of a leaf.
"Erm Willow it's me, Xander." Xander said
"Xander who? And my name's not Willow, its Sakura. Can you tell me what has happened? I woke up and found myself surrounded by monsters!"
Xander sighed. "Ring, how do I dispel the magic around Willow?"
Calling upon her consciousness may do it. The ring said.
Xander nodded, face in concentration as a glow of green light shot out from the ring, striking Willow who gave a loud squeak. She struggled in the green light and then stopped, staring at Xander in shock.
"Xander what happened?" Willow asked looking around her in shock. "Oh! Where are my children?"
"Calm down Willow. We'll find them later." Xander said. "Something hellmouthy is happening and we need to find Buffy fast."
"Ok, where is she?"
"Ring? Buffy's location?" Xander asked.
She's to your left, but she's giving off a weird signal. It's like she's not completely human. The ring said with underlying tones of puzzlement. Xander pushed the thought of why the ring was suddenly becoming sentient away and rushed down the street with Willow tagging along. He'll have time to deal with it later.
"Oaf!" Xander cried as he slammed into a giant dog faced monster that was fleeing from something behind him.
"Take that you Magog!" Buffy's voice could be heard as well as several laser blast which cut close to where Xander was standing.
"Buffy watch out!" Xander cried out as he saw Buffy pointing her laser gun at them.
"Who are you? Declare yourself." Buffy cried out.
"Ok this is getting way too crazy for me." Xander said aiming the ring at Buffy.
Buffy taking it as a threat, leap back but not before a glow of green light slammed into her.
"Something's wrong.." Xander gritted out. "I can't seem to cancel out the spell."
Xander took a deep breath and tried again, pouring all his strength into it. His will power wavered and the stream of green energy stopped.
Power reserves 10. The ring said.
"What?! It was 70 in the afternoon." Xander said in surprise.
There was a groan in front of them and Buffy's voice called out. "Xander, Willow, what happened? I felt like I've been run over by several horses.. Literally."
"We've got a problem Buffy, someone changed everyone into their costumes." Xander said. "And I don't think I can use my ring's power to cancel out the spell on everyone affected. We'll have to take it to the source. And for that we need your muscles."
"Oh great." Buffy grouched. "Halloween is supposed to be peaceful! When I see Giles again I am so tearing him apart for giving me false expectation."
"I don't think we have time to see Giles Buffy, people could be seriously hurt unless we put a stop to it quickly."
"Alright, so how do we find the source of the spell?"
"Ring? Can you detect anything?"
There's a strange animosity several streets away… The ring said.
Ethan looked up with a start as something crashed opened his shop door. "Who's there?" He called out, coming out of the back room.
"Oh nobody except the Slayer." Buffy said slamming an upper punch knocking him unconscious.
"Good job." Xander said moving forward. "There I can feel it, it's the statue."
There was a crackle of green energy which slammed into the stature cracking it into half.
"Now everything should return to normal." Xander said. He was unprepared when Buffy started screaming behind him and Willow collapsed onto the floor. "What the hell…" Xander gasped as he succumbed to darkness.
Author's Notes: It was after I've uploaded my first chapter yesterday that I found out somebody had also written a Xander Sasuke Halloween fic (With Those Eyes by ChrisLeeVorne). Cringe, but I've already written the first three chapters of my fic so I don't really feel like having Xander dress up as someone else not without a massive rewrite.
Her/His story is quite good though D so maybe you guys can check it out. Anyway, my Xander will be turning out differently so I guess it'll be ok.
My Xander will not become super Xander, because I don't want him to become a Mary Sue (erm or is it jack sue? Or sue something?). His metahuman-ness will not be some new offensive powers by just a trait that will make him one of the more important guys in the story. I am trying to tie in with the canon in my own way. Hint: the time when he loses his eye.
Anyway guys. Thanks for the reviews! p
