Buffy and Faith walk into the conference room to see the rest of the scoobies already there.
"Good morning." Buffy says "You guys find anything yet?"
"Not yet" Giles says as he takes his glasses off and begins to clean them "Could you tell us more about this land you are from? It could help us narrow down where we are supposed to be looking."
"Its called the enchanted forest and every fairytale character that you have ever read about is real." Faith says
"I see" Giles says as he puts his glasses down "Do you have any ideas as to a way transport you back to your realm?" Buffy and Faith both look at each other thinking for anything that could be useful.
"I got it." Buffy says excitedly "Our swords" she says, making Faith grin
"Your swords?" Dawn says confused
"You guys had swords? What were you knights?" Kennedy asks jokingly
"Well yeah" Faith says making Kennedy look at her dumfounded
"How will your swords help us get you back?" Willow asks
"Back in out realm we were called the protectors" Buffy explains "We protected all magic and kept balance between dark and light."
"We are the only ones able to wield our swords" Faith says "I'd imagine that when we were thrown into the portal they traveled here with us. If we can find them then we can return home."
"Okay. How do we find them?" Willow asks
"Simple. Locator spell." Buffy says with a shrug
"I dont think a locator spell will work on trying to find a sword"
"It will if you use our blood." Faith says making them all look at her "Our swords are connected to us through blood magic that is why we are the only ones able to wield the sword."
"Okay..." Willow says "I'll just go get my stuff I need for the spell." she was before walking out
A few minutes later Willow comes in carrying everything that she'll need for the spell "Alright. Who wants to go first?" she asks, the two slayers look at each other before Faith walks over and holds out her hand. Willow hands her a knife and watches as Faith guides it across her hand drawing blood. Willow takes Faiths hand and holds it over a map and begins to chant in latin.
They all watch in awe as Faith's blood travels throughout the map before stopping at a point and glowing
"Okay...Faith's is in Cleveland's cemetery" Willow says
"Thats only about 10 minutes from here." Dawn says as Buffy walks up and does the same thing Faith did. Willow starts the chant again and looks down to see that Buffy's sword is with Faith's.
"Soon whose ready for field trip?" Faith asks
_TIME SKIP_
"Are we sure its okay to be doing this in broad daylight?" Kennedy asks as she follows Buffy and Faith to the crypt where their swords are.
"If someone sees us we'll just say that we're visiting our dead relative or something" Faith says as she looks at the map before she keeps walking.
"How far is it anyway?" Kennedy complains
"Its just up ahead." Buffy says before running into Faith's back who stopped short
"This is it." Faith says as she folds up the map and sticks it in her back pocket before walking in.
"Are you sure this is the right place?" Kennedy asks when they see the crypt empty except for two caskets, Faith ignores her as she walks farther into the crypt.
"You feel that?" Buffy asks, Faith nods feeling something pulling them towards the caskets. They both walk over to one of the casket before pushing the lid off to reveal a sword laying there, untouched. Faith and Buffy look at each other grinning, before they reach in and grab their swords. As soon as they make contact with the sword it begins to glow, Faith's black while Buffy's white. Kennedy watches in amazement as the swords pulse as if they are alive, she watches as the light from the swords begin to fade into Buffy and Faith's arm leaving a mark.
"Holy shit." Kennedy says in shock, Faith smiles as she twirls her sword around experimentally
"How ya feeling B?" Faith asks as she looks over at her girlfriend to see her doing the same thing with her own sword.
"Pretty good." Buffy says "Now lets get out of here." she says before taking Faiths hand.
"You okay Kenn?" Faith asks seeing that she hasn't moved, Kennedy nods mutely before turning around and walking out of the crypt. The older slayers chuckle at the girls reaction before following her out.
_BACK AT SLAYER CENTRAL_
Buffy and Faith lay their swords down on the table as soon as they walk back into the conference room
"Woah" Xancer says in awe as he walks over to look at them "These are yours?"
"Yup" Faith says as she sits back into her chair, Buffy sitting down next to her
"Now what do we do?" Dawn asks
"Your magic here works differently than ours." Buffy says "So we are virtually powerless in the magic department" she says
"Could a transportation spell work?" Faith asks
"Maybe? But I can't say it'll work for sure since I have no idea where you guys are heading" Willow says "But I wouldn't suggest it. For all we know you guys could end up in a dimension without shrimp." she says, They all sit there quietly trying to think of a way to travel back to their realm.
"If I had an idea of the potion that your mother used to send you here I may be able to reverse it and send you back." Willow says, Faith lens forward and grabs her sword looking it over
"How much of the potion would you need?" Faith asks
"A drop" Willow says, Faith smiles
"Great thats exactly how much I have" she says as she holds up her sword to show a dry speck of blu potion that was left there when her mother broke the vail.
"Some of the potion must of gotten on your sword when the vial broke!" Buffy says excitedly
"Looks like we have a chance. What'd ya say red?" Faith asks looking at the red head hopefully
"I say we got some research to do." she says
_TIME SKIP_
Hours later after endless amounts of research all of the scoobies past out somewhere in the room, except for Willow whose still trying to find a way to reverse the spell. Xander asleep in his chair with his arms and legs spread out. Kennedy asleep on her arms with a book open in front of her. Giles asleep with his face in a book. Dawn laying down on the floor with books surrounding her. And finally Faith whose asleep in Buffy's lap whose also asleep.
"I got it!" Willow yells making everyone jump awake
"What?" Xander says tiredly
"I figured it out!" she yells "I know how to reverse the spell!"
"Thats great!" Buffy says now fully awake as she runs and hugs her friend
"So what do we do?" Faith asks
"All I have to do is remake the potion and say a few phrases"
"We're going home." Buffy says with a smile as she hugs her girlfriend "We're going home." she says again, Faith smiles and nods as she leans down and kisses the blonde. They pull apart when someone clears their throat.
"So how long will it take?" Giles asks "To make the potion?"
"About an hour?" Willow guesses already gathering the ingredients she'll need.
"We'll meet back here in an hour." Giles says, they all nod their heads before leaving the conference room all of them wondering whats going to happen when the two head slayers have returned home.
_AN HOUR LATER:_
Buffy and Faith walk into the conference room to see everyone already waiting for them
"I'm going to miss you" Buffy says as she hugs Dawn "You will always be my sister" she says, Dawn nods her head not even trying to hide her tears. Faith watches as Buffy says goodbye to her friends not being as close to them as Buffy is, she knows that this is the blonde's family and how hard it must be for her to say goodbye.
"You ready?" Faith asks as Buffy returns to her side, the blonde nods. They both turn towards Willow, gripping their swords tightly so they don't lose them, Willow takes a deep breath as she raises the vail and smashes it on the ground before she begins chanting. The slayers watch as the potion begins to wrap itself around them until it completely covers them. The slayers disappear in a flash of bright light.
_IN THE ENCHANTED FOREST:_
In the middle of the enchanted forest a flash of white light appears, as fast as it has appears its gone leaving two girls in its place.
"Uh" Faith groans as she rolls over "B you okay?" she asks as she shakily stands up and helps up the blonde
"Yeah. Yeah I'm good." she says, the two girls look around in confusion seeing what used to be a forest filled with people now empty.
"What the hell happened?" Faith asks as they look around
They jump when they hear a loud bang followed by a roar. The two girls look at each other before calling on their swords, once they're swords are in their hands their marks begin to glow as an armor covers their bodies. Hearing someone yelling they take off towards the noise, hoping to figure out what exactly is happening.
