(I'd like to thank duo_x_quatre for his help on this story. This is for him.)

"Where did you find me?" She asked. "And where am I now?... And take this energy thingy down."
"You're aboard the Federation Starship Enterprise. You're in our Sickbay, and I'm Captain Jean-Luc Picard. Our sensors detected a subspace anomoaly, and an energy field formed on our ship, it soon disappeared and left you with us."
"Glory..." Buffy mumbled to herself, remembering the return of the god that she thought she had killed.
"We were wondering how you got here." Beverly said. "Could you tell us what happened to you?"
Buffy closed her eyes trying to remember, she spoke as the images came into her head.
"Glory... she came back... I thought I had killed her, but..."
Buffy's eyes closed tighter.
"Dawn. She came back for Dawn... We thought she wasn't the Key anymore but..."
Willow.. Willow was there too, wasn't she...
"Willow... she tried to stop her but... she didn't make it. So I... I did what I do best."
Beverly deactivated the forcefield. "I'm Doctor Beverly Crusher," she said. "It's good to meet you Buffy. It looks as though had a very bad day, judging from the broken bones, but they're healed, and you're going to be fine." She smiled.
Picard stepped in the bio bed area as well. "As am I. If you'd like, would you like to tell us where you came from?"
"Earth." Came the one-worded, and distant reply
"How did you come from Earth?" asked Picard. "We're over 70 lightyears from there."
"The portal." Buffy said. "Wait a second... Starship... I'm on a Starship... what date is this? Or what reality am I in? There are prawns here, right?"
The Captain gave Buffy a confused look at that last comment.
"Er.. Nevermind about the prawn bit actually..."
"It's...." Captain Picard started, now taking notice to the out-of-era style clothing on the girl. He sighed. "It's 2379."
Beverly looked shocked. "Oh no.."
Buffy's eyes widened, and then she started laughing
"What are you laughing at?" Beverly asked
Buffy slowly let the laughing stop, but continued to snigger as she spoke.
"I'm in 2379... figures...
"My sister and only living friend die... I save my world once again, and get transported to ...here."
"What's not funny about that?" She threw her hand down, punching the medical table, cracking it down the middle. Slowly she lifted up her hand and looked at the blood. "What am I?"
Picard tapped his comm badge. "Picard to Security. Worf, please report to Sickbay." 'Aye Captain' came the response. "I'm going to prove it to you." he said.
"What do you mean, what are you?" Beverly asked, with much concern.
Worf came into sickbay a few minutes later. "Is there something you needed, Captain?" The Klingon said.
Buffy was about to answer Beverly's question when she noticed the Klingon, her eyes widened again... not in shock, but sligh surprise.
"Not here too..." Buffy said, then jumped forward and kicked Worf in the gut.
The klingon gasped and stumbled backwards. Buffy followed up with a punch to the face, chest, and a roundhouse kick to the shoulder.
Worf growled and jumped at her, Buffy stepped out of the way, grabbed his arm and...
SNAP!
Worf growled, and pinned buffy to the wall. Buffy tried to kick, and he pushed her back to the bio bed, and threw her against the bulkhead. Beverly re-activated the forcefield when Worf was clear and out of the way.
Picard was furious. "Miss Buffy! Why the hell did you attack my officer?!"
"Officer! That is a vampire!" She yelled. Instict had took over when she had seen the bumpy forehead, but after a closer look, she realised that "vampire" wasn't the best way to describe him.
"Or not... But he is a demon, he must be, he is too strong to be a human who needs plastic surgery."
"Buffy." Beverly stated, healing Worf's arm. "You're not from our time obviously, and you're probably unaware of the existant of non human alien spieces. Worf here is a Klingon. I assure you, he would not have attacked you."
Worf glared at Buffy. "You fight...well. For a human."
Buffy laughed again.
"human...I'm not sure if I can even call myself that anymore." Buffy said. "Maybe the slayer just is a killer after all."
"Sorry about the arm, by the way."
Picard was still very cautious. "Buffy, if we deactivate the force field again, we will let you leave sickbay, but you have to promise not to attack our crewmembers."
Worf smiled a warriors smile. "I await our next glorious battle."
He stood up, his arm healed already by Doctor Crusher.
"As long as they don't try to kill me, or happen to be vampires, demons, or evil gods... I won't attack them." Buffy smirked to herself..
Picard was confused, but he took the force field down anyway.
"Doctor, perhaps you can show Buffy around the Enterprise. She is already aquainted with you, and might need someone to show her what the 24th century is like." he said.
"I'd be delighted to Captain." Beverly Replied. "Nurse Ogawa can take over for me here. Would you like to see the ship Buffy?"
"Sure..." the blonde girl replied.
The Light red haired doctor smiled. "Come on." She led her out of sickbay into the plush corridors of the Enterprise. "There's a turbolift down this corridor we can take to Ten Forward. Ten Forward is a lounge on board. So What year are you from Buffy.....by the way, do you have a last name?"
"I'm from 2002," Buffy said. "And my last name is Summers, Buffy Summers."
Beverly Smiled, leading her into the turbolift. As the doors swished behind them, she gave the order. "Deck 10." She said, and the turbolift hummed to life, moving around the ship
"I think you're going to like the 24th century Buffy. We've made some pretty incredible advances these past few hundred years."
Buffy was starlted at first by the turbolift, infact the whole ship itself was amazing.
"So..." Buffy said. "What are you doing out here?"
"In space?" Beverly asked?
"Yes." Buffy replied.
"Well, after Warp Drive, the ability to go faster than light, was invented, Earth formed with about 150 alien worlds to create the United Federation of Planets. It's a peaceful organization dedicated to peace and exploration. Warp travel led to Starfleet. Think of Starfleet as a branch of the military in space. The Enterprise's main mission is exploration. There are over 3,000 ships in Starfleet at the present date."
"What about... Earth?"
"Well, after wrp was invented, an alien race called the Vulcans made first contact with humans. 50 yeras after that, humanity finally was united with the feeling that they wern't alone in the universe. Poverty, Disease, War, and Crime were all extinct after that. Money was abolished a century and a half later when replicators were invented. The United States, and all the seperate countries all united to form the Federation.
The Turbolift stopped and Crusher led Buffy out into another Corridor
Buffy followed Crusher, "Earth seems almost perfect."
"Compared to the 21st century, after the 3rd World War, it is perfect." The doctor replied as they entered the Ten forward lounge. The first thing they noticed was the huge bay windows, revealing space to them. Some of the Stars were huge white streaks moving so fast that it seemed slow, showing that the Enterprise was at warp.
"Earth will never be perfect, there are still things there that go bump in the night." Buffy mumbled to herself.
She walked over and touched the window. "This is beautiful..."
"This is Ten Forward."said Beverly.
Crusher followed. "It still amazes me, every time I see it." She gestured toward a table, which the entire table top was a dim light. She gestured for Buffy to sit down, and got 2 Ratkajinos from the Replicator. She moved slowly, not to spill them throughout the crowded room, and returned to the table where the Blonde woman sat. "This is a delicious coffee perfected over the centuries. Now, you mentioned before about demons? And Vampires?" she said, taking a sip.
Buffy smiled, "You probally think im crazy as it is without me telling you about that. I mean with attacking your crewmate and all..."
"Miss Summers, believe me, you don't know crazy until you've been on the Enterprise for any length of time. Oh, Hello Deanna." Beverly said, looking to a woman in the same colored uniform as herself. The woman was relatively the same height, but maybe a little shorter. She had long, dark brown hair, and spoke with a beautiful accent. "Hello Doctor Crusher." she said. "You must be Buffy. I'm Deanna Troi, ship's counselor."
Buffy stood up and shook Deanna's hand. "Hi."
Sitting down again she took a sip of her coffee, and rubbing her head. "Ugh.. I'm going to need about a ton more of this."
Beverly gestured to Deanna, and she sat.
"So Buffy, I am interested to know that you mentioned evil gods and witches, during your ..encounter with Commander Worf in Sickbay. I'm curious for you to elaborate on it." Deanna said. "We were just about to discuss that Deanna. What can you tell us Buffy, we won't think you're crazy."
Buffy sighed, wondering where to begin. "Ok, you asked for it. 6 or 7 years before I left my time, I found out I was the slayer."
"The Slayer?" Deanna asked.
"Yeah, Buffy the Vampire Slayer... but they really need to rethink the name. My slayage doesn't stop at vampires.. all kinds of demons, and the occasional hell-bitch god."
"That' alot to undertake." said Beverly.
"So Buffy, this may not be the right time to tell you this but, What do you think you should do, now that you're in our time? We could arrange quarters for you on the Enterprise if you'd like, until you make up your mind."
"Into every generation a Slayer is born. One girl in all the world to fight the vampires, demons and forces of darkness. To find where they dwell and to stop the swell of their evil..." Buffy quoted Giles... a bit rustily.
"Yeah... I'd like that."
"So," She asked. "You think I'm crazy yet?"
Deanna smiled with Crusher, but then it faded away. Deanna spoke. "Buffy, I just came from a briefing. We recieved a distress call from two other Federation starships. They experienced similar incidents like the Enterprise...but there were other people involved. One of the ships was destroyed.....
......They said that a new alien race, which emitted no lifesigns tried to take over the ship."
Buffy closed her eyes. "What did they look like."
The first ship, the Reliant, had several humans on board. A Willow Rosenburg to name one. They were looking for Buffy Summers. The other, had about 59 "dead" humans on board. Their foreheads were distorted, they had no lifesigns, and they had pointed teeth."
Buffy reached into her back pocket and pulled out her cross necklace and attached it to her neck.
"Deanna... go to your captain, tell him to take me to that ship... Crusher... take me to your weapons, I'm going to need "old" stuff- swords... and if you have any pointy wooden objects, that would be great."
"Buffy, we don't carry swords on the Enterprise." Crusher said.
"We're already en-route at maximum warp." Deanna said. "The one that was destroyed by the enhanced humans, left a beaming trail to the other vessel. We're hurrying, ready to get the survivors. We would like you to join the away team to go onto the Reliant."
"I don't really have a choice." Buffy mumbled to herself.
She reached into her long leather coat and produced three stakes. "Looks like I'm in luck."
"Alright, Deanna, I'll be in sickbay." Crusher said. The Lights in the room turned a slowly flashing red as an alarm klaxon sounded. Captain Picard came over the Comm. 'Red Alert, All hands Battlestations.' he said.
"Come on Buffy, we need to get you a uniform, comm badge and phaser."
"Uniform...?" Buffy asked looking at what the rest of the crew were wearing. "I think i will be able to move better in this."
"Uniforms have special materials that help us to lock on to each other in case of an emergency." Deanna said, leading her to Transporter Room 3.
"When we beam down, your Uniform will be automatically applied."
"Great..." Buffy mumbled, throwing off the coat, this resulted in a look of confusion from Deanna.
"What? I'm not losing my new coat when I beam down."
"That's perfectly alright." The doors to the transporter room hissed open to let them enter. The Ship's first officer, Commander William Riker, along with Worf, and Commander Data, an android, we're all on the transporter pad.
Buffy, here is a phaser and a comm badge. Your phaser is your weapon, it has many level settings ranging from stun to kill. Your comm badge is a communications device just tap it and it will give us a message.
Buffy looked around and then stepped onto the transporter pad.
"And this," she went on. "Is a transporter pad. It allows us instant travel to anywhere. Think of it as teleportation."
Deanna stepped on too.
"Energize." Commander Riker spoke.
The 6 of them dematerialized, and rematerialized onto the wrecked Reliant instantly
"Whoa!" Buffy stumbled and held her forehead for a second.
"Everything's alright." Data said. "Your disorientation will pass."
Riker spoke. "Everyone, lets split up, Data, Deanna you're with me. Word, you and our guest search for survivors and the enhanced humans, report back immediately in 15 minutes for beam out."
Buffy pulled her hair back into a ponytail to keep it out of her face for the fight.
Worf walked over to the blonde woman. "I am honored to fight alongside you." he said.
Buffy glanced sideways at him, "Just don't die on me."
"I am a Klingon Warrior. If we die, we will die in battle."
"Not in this battle," Buffy said. "Understand?"
Worf took out his tricorder and began scanning. "Understood," he said with a smile. "This device will tell us where the lifesigns are coming from. It will help indicate the survivor's locations."
"Take your tricorder out."
"Don't need it." Buffy mumbled. "....slayer thing..."
They came to a sealed door. Worf reached for his phazer. Buffy walked to the door and kicked it ... once, twice... and on the third kick it gave way.
"I understand." said Worf. 'Riker to Worf.' "Worf here, sir." 'Worf, tell Buffy we found the survivors. They're beaming back to Sickbay now.' "Understood sir."
They heard a crash. The Bulkhead sealed behind them. "P'TaQ!" said Worf, cursing in Klingon. "We're going to need to find another way back to the beam out site."
Buffy titled her head, spun around quickly and sent one of the stake flying backwards past Worf, and hitting the vampire standing behind him directly in the heart. It shrieked and exploded in a light brown dust.
"Impressive!" Worf cried, firing his phaser at one behind Buffy, vaporizing it after a second.
"We are at an ambush!"
Buffy looked at her own phazer, "Old habits die hard."
She ran to one of the vampires, punched it in the face, cracking its nose, roundhouse kicking it and then twisted its head off
Worf cried for battle as he took on two at a time, one of them lunged at him, and he threw him against the other. He took out his Klingon Weapon, the Mek'Leth, and sliced off one of their heads, and saw him turn to dust. The other grabbed him from behind and tried to bite him.
Buffy spun around, kicked Worf in the gut, causing him to double over, taking the vampire with him, allowing Buffy to stake it through the back.
"Thank you." Worf said, jumping to his feet. A Transporter beam caught the two of them and brought them back to the Enterprise
"We got sick of waiting." Riker said.
Buffy started to sway, as they reappeared in the Enterprise.
"Still getting used to it?" Worf asked.
"No... this is .. this is different..." Buffy said, before collapsing.
Doctor Crusher immediately reacted, applying a medical tricorder to scan Buffy.
She annoculated her with a hypospray to wake her up.
Buffy looked around the dream world until she found what she was looking for. The First Slayer.
"What are you doing here?"
It didn't answer but instead prowled around Buffy in a circle.
Buffy crept slowly out of the dream, but in this semi-sleep state she could still see the first slayer, walking around the room she was in. Then it disappeared as she fully awoke.
"Buffy, are you alright?" Crusher asked.
"Fine..." Buffy said, rubbing her head. "In the wishing-I-was-dead way."
Captain Picard was there. "Buffy," he said. "We need you to report to the Bridge with the rest of the senior staff."
"Okay, the bridge... and just when I didn't have my starship map."
Picard Smiled. "Everyone come with me."
