Ghost roads

Buffy the vampire slayer has just been teleported to the ghost roads also known as the land of the dead. Her watcher Rupert Giles her watcher has been dead for weeks but some unknown force has been playing with their minds.

"Where am I?" Buffy asked.

Rupert turned to her. "Can't you see?"

"What?"

"The world is about to end." He said shifting into a serpent.

The Slayer took a few steps back. She bumped into someone familiar. "Jenny?"

"Yes," Jenny's ghost answered.

"What is happening?" Buffy asked.

"The end is coming," Jenny said. "You were brought here along the ghost roads because you need the people who have helped and fought along side you through your battle."

"Y-yes," Buffy said then looking to the ground. "I do."

"Then I can help." Jenny said. "Follow me." She started to walk along a trail.

"So why are people here?" Buffy asked.

"You have never heard of the ghost roads." Jenny asked.

"No I haven't," Buffy answered (editors note: in the book series they have traveled here before, but I ma taking it as from the show so they haven't been here.)

"The ghost roads are were people await their destinies. They come here to move on to their resting place." Jenny said.

"My-my mom is she here?" Buffy asked.

"Yes, you will see her a little later."

"So who are we off to see first?" Buffy asked.

"Your watcher...Merrick,"

"She's gone," Faith said.

"Uh yeah," Cordelia added.

"Giles," Willow said as the room began to shift. It was very different then from what it was a second ago. "Anya's corner,"

"Yeah, I forget about that," Anya said. "That was built after Giles...died."

"Giles has been dead for weeks and there was someone here playing with our minds!" Xander said. "Someone as powerful as the ones who made us think Dawn was here since ya know."

"Dawn is what?" Faith asked.

"She isn't real," Cordelia said. "Weren't you listening?"

"I wasn't here for that debriefing," Faith said. "So first things first."

"Which is...?" Xander asked.

"Simple we kill Glory," Faith said.

"But don't we need a leader or are we trying something new like rushing to our very deaths?" Xander asked.

"I know someone who can lead us," Angel said.

"Dot, dot, dot..." Xander added.

"Faith," Angel said.

Anya rolled her eyes "Faith?"

"Me?" Faith had to ask astonished by what Angel had said.

"Yeah you," Angel said. "You are the slayer."

"Fine," Faith said making a smile. "Lets get to the going."

Glory's mansion

Dawn screamed again. "Help!"

It was all too late for help. She had just turned into a flying pink ball of light. The walls of the mansion had flattened so now it was just open battlefield.

"Sedite! I call of you help me," Glory screamed.

Ben disappeared first into the orb. Then Brian. "My turn!"

Glory was slowly going into the orb. The ground began to shake very violently. She was into it.

Magic box

The gang all had weapons. Willow and Tara were strapped in white powder. For their spell.

The ground began to shake. Bookcases and mystical items fell to the ground.

"We need to get going!" Xander screamed.

"Right!" Faith said. "So that was my first earthquake."

"That wasn't a quake," Willow said. "That was Glory. I could feel the mystical-ness from it."

"Ok," Gunn said. "We go."

They reached for the door and it basically fell off its hinges. "Let's move!" Faith said.

The cars were smashed by debris. Streetlights had fallen onto them.

"Just when we were ready for battle," Xander said. "Unless it was fate. They don't want us to die and to stay here."

"We really need a miracle." Cordelia said.

"But did anyone notice or is the big evilness playing with our minds again but has anyone put much thought as to were Buffy is?" Anya said.

Ghost roads

Merrick stood awaiting his slayer. "Buffy?"

"Um yes," Buffy said.

"My I hardly recognized you," he said. "You've grown so much. How old are you now?"

"20,"

"Wow, that long has passed since I have been here. Five long ears. I wish I could have been your watcher and put you in the books as Rupert did but..." he trailed off.

"I know, so what am I supposed to do." Buffy said glaring to Jenny. "Are we supposed to hug and he comes into me or something?"

"No all will be explained." Jenny said. "Lets move along now,"

"Bye," Buffy said to Merrick.

"Good-bye my slayer,"

"Who's next?"

"Your mother," Jenny said coldly.

"So no cabs are going to take us there," Cordelia said "Well at least not all of us. That's another reason why I hate this god forsaken town so much."

"So what's up, with the killing of Glory?" Faith asked.

"Spirit sword," Xander said.

"How do we work it?" Faith said grabbing up a seat next to him and Anya.

"We call on all the spirits that have helped us in battle then it forms a sword." Xander said.

"So basically your key guy here," Willow said with a smile.

"Yeah," Anya said, "That's my baby. He's a superhero."

They all heard a loud noise. A car backfiring. They rushed outside.

"Oz!" Willow said running to him and embracing him in a hug.

"Hey," he said. "Sorry I just heard."

"What?" Gunn asked.

"Buffy's mom," he said making a sad face.

"From who?" Tara asked.

"Giles," he said.

"But Giles has been dead for weeks," Cordelia said.

"There are defiantly higher powers involved here." Anya said.

"Well that isn't it," Willow said, "There is a lot going on here."

"Bigger than mayor?" Oz asked.

"Way bigger!" Cordelia said.

Ghost roads

"Mom?" Buffy asked the ghost before her.

"Honey?" her mother asked.

"Are you ok?" Buffy asked steeping back a little.

"Yes, honey rests assure. I am always here with you in your heart." Joyce said.

"We have to go," Jenny said.

"Mom..." Buffy said being pulled away then running back to her mother.

"Honey you have to go," Joyce said.

"I-I know," Buffy said. "I have a question."

Joyce nodded.

"Did it hurt?" Buffy asked now in tears.

"What?" Joyce asked.

"Dieing," she said sobbing. "Did you go in pain?"

"No," Joyce said. "I went very peacefully unlike some of the others here," Joyce said.

"Will I ever see you again?" Buffy asked.

Jenny grabbed her arm and began to pull her away.

"Mom!" her mother was getting farther and farther away from her. "Mommy!"

"So this is all real." Oz asked. "Hell gods and monsters and."

"Don't forget pokemon," Xander said giggling. "That pikachu is a real bitch."

"Xander this isn't the time for laughing and joking," Cordelia said hitting him in the arm.

"Well sorry mom," he said, "Just trying to break some of the hell god envy."

"Lets move." Faith said picking up an axe.

"Let' listen to her. She does have the axe." Xander said.

Ghost roads

"Giles!" Buffy said.

"My dear," he said to Jenny.

"We are reunited after all this time," she said.

"Ok lets not get to mushy you did just break up my reunion," Buffy said.

"Giles are you ok?" Buffy asked.

"Yes, I wish you the best."

"Thanks,"

"Kick Glory's bloody ass!"

"Will do," Buffy said.

"So this is it," Jenny said.

"I can return home." Buffy asked.

"Yes,"

"Ok, then its time to kick some ass." Buffy said.

Glory's mansion

The battlefield was set. Earth was raging war with itself. The sky rumbled with fire. The beach was no more. The waves had all sat upon the land making floods.

"Yes! The power! It fills me!"

"Enough Bitch!" Faith said.

"We are so going to kick your ass!" Cordelia said coldly. "Hey I like your shoes."


"I like yours to," Glory said. "Prada?"

"Yeah, yours?" Cordelia asked.

"Yeah, size 8,"

"Ooh, guys lets kill her," Cordelia said. "But don't harm the shoes!"

"Lets do it!" Xander screamed.

They all locked hands. And began to chant: "We are one! We call upon those whom have helped us!"

They fell to the ground. Nothing!

"So it doesn't work." Angel asked.

"Umm no," Xander said. "We must need..."

"Buffy!" Angel screamed.

She came from a portal. And crashed down onto Glory hard.

"Ow!" the Slayer screamed.

"You little..."

"Hush your mouth," Buffy said giving her a swift kick to the face. "You do know I am so going to kick your ass, don't you."

"You wish," Glory said.

"Buffy!," Cordelia screamed. "The shoes!"

"Huh?" Buffy said kicking Glory in the legs knocking her down. She took the shoes off Glory. "So these are the key to killing her." The Slayer asked.

Cordelia rushed over and grabbed the shoes. "No, they are so cute,"

"Buffy we can create some weapon to stop her!" Xander said.

"The spirit sword!" Buffy said. "I saw everyone!"

"Your mom?" Tara asked.

"Yeah," Buffy said. "Lets do this,"

Faith smiled at Buffy as did Buffy return the smile. They joined hands and began to chant again.

Mystical light sprouted from all of their bodies. Their hearts. It formed into a ball. Then a flaming sword.

"I got it!" Buffy said jumping and grabbing it.

"So kill her already!" Xander screamed up to her as she was still in the air.

Buffy twirled the sword in her hand. She struck Glory in the chest sending her flying. She fell to the ground. Buffy threw the sword directly at Glory's heart. She turned into a skeleton. Then to ash.

"So that's it." Xander asked. "As this time all we needed was a sword made of light to kill her. Well I hope the watchers council give money for time wasted in research."

The sky quaked. Brian and Ben were merged into one seven-foot tall demon. Half human half-light.

"So uh do we wanna summon that sword again or what?" Cordelia asked.

"It wont work twice in one day!" Xander said. "It might work in about an hour."

They were all clearly sweaty. "Who let the football team out?" Anya asked.

"Tara- Willow! I think some good old magic will come in handy right about now!" Buffy screamed up to them.

They both nodded and began to chant. A fireball erupted from their palms and smashed into the demon/god.

It fell to the ground. It began to get very hot as a portal opened before them. "Hell...."

"Yeah, I would think so," Wesley said.

"How do we...what do we..." Buffy couldn't believe it.

"So Buff look any different since your last trip down?" Xander asked.

"I didn't come to this one. The other had better designs." Buffy said then glanced around at everyone.

Darla walked from the fire. As did the Mayor. Then the Master. Three of her greatest foes.

"Guys how do we stop the un-un-dead?" Buffy asked.

"I don't know," Xander said. "Wes?"

"I think we should kill them," Wesley said.

"No!" a sound from above made its presence. It was Jenny.

"What? Miss Calendar?" Willow asked.

"Yes," Jenny said. "I am a helper to the wanders of the Ghost roads."

"Ghost roads?" Xander asked.

"Where the spirits find their final resting place." Angel said.

"Enter their dimension that is they can be killed," jenny said. "But you will die,"

"Ok," Buffy said. "Guys this is it. This is were the fun and games end. I am going in. alone. Don't try to stop me."

They nodded. "Buffy be ok," Xander said.

"I will," she smiled. "I'm a survivor."

Her and Willow hugged. She walked by Angel. "Don't let me be the last to know." She murmured. "I love you Angel,"

"I love you too."

"Slayer, we don't have time going into the field will kill you!" Jenny said. "Do you really want to make that sacrifice?"

"There will be other slayers," Buffy said.

Willow was in tears. As was the rest of the gang.

She ran for the portal. She was suddenly knocked out the way.

She looked up to the face of the man that just knocked her over. "Spike?"

"Yes love I couldn't watch you die," he said.

"When did you get here?"

"I was watching the fight from afar I had me a bag of popcorn and some orange soda," Spike said. "You got some good moves. Even though it was all mystical it doesn't beat the campyness of Passions."

"I have to go," Buffy said as she turned for the portal.

"No!" Angel said. "I will go,"

"No both pf you bloody bastards just shut the hell up! You two have jobs here saving the earth and all that bloody fun me I have noting if I don't have Buffy. And that looks like its never going to happen. So I will go."

Buffy looked at him with tears in her eyes. "Thanks, but no thanks" she pushed him down
And ran for it.

Angel knocked her in the head and ran.

"Goddamn you people!" Spike screamed. "We are fighting to sacrifice ourselves to save a bunch of ungrateful people."

"Everyone isn't ungrateful," Cordelia snarled.

The sky turned blue again.

"What just happened," Angel said running for the van quickly burning coming aflame.

"Faith..." Willow said.

"Oh my god," Xander said astonished.

"She saved us," Wesley said. "She has defiantly redeemed herself."

"Yeah," Cordelia said. "Do you think I should wear these shoes to the funeral."

"Ungrateful..." Spike said in singsong.

"No I am not!" Cordelia said.

Buffy awoke a few minutes later.

"Blue sky?" Buffy said wiping herself off. "How?"

"Faith," Willow said.

"While you guys were trying to decide who was going to be the latest castaway to get booted into the portal Faith couldn't wait," Xander said.

"Let's go," Buffy said.

"Angel's in the van," Oz said.

"He is."

"Well it did get kinda sunny," Oz said.

"Yeah," Buffy said. "It's been such along day,"'

Angel investigations a week later

Angel was in a deep sleep. His dream was the same since the big battle. Faith.

"D you love me?" she asked.

"No..."

"You don't?" she asked.

"Yes, I do"

They kissed. Then the stake plunged into his heart.

He awaked from his nightmare.

Magic box

Buffy was ok. She felt different about Faith now after her sacrifice. Faith was a hero.

She looked at a picture Xander had taken when Faith had just come to Sunnydale. Buffy smiled. Faith was still a little chubby in the face.

"You're a hero you know that." Buffy asked the open area. Everyone was gone and she stayed to spare. With herself.

She heard a noise and jumped. "Spike," she said "I haven't seen you since..."

"Yeah, I have been thinking," he said.

"Yeah,"

"You know I'm a different person than from before don't you?" he asked.

"Yeah, one with a heart." She said hugging him feeling extreme coldness.

"Yeah," he said.

"Why are you so cold?" Buffy asked.

"Well Drusilla is in town and you know," he said.

She stepped back. "I can't believe this," she said.

"Well believe it," he smiled. "Spike is back,"

He took her by the neck,

"And you wanna know the best thing?" he asked.

"What's that?"

"No chip," he said biting her.

"Stop!"

"If I cant make you love me as a human then I know one way you will," he said cutting his wrist making her drink.
