very soon.

Rated PG-14
Part 4
What lies ahead
"Maria ... we need to talk!" Isabelle said as she grabbed Maria's arm and pulled it into the Liz's room where Max, Michael, and Tess were waiting.
"I am kind of busy ... what's this about?" Maria asked cautiously, she wasn't quite sure if they new about her.
"I think you know!" Isabelle said.
Maria didn't say anything at first she just stared at everyone, then she tried to catch Michael's glance, but he wouldn't look at her, " You told them didn't you?"
"I had to!" He said in a low voice.
"This is none of your concern, I am outa hear." She said trying to make a rush for the door. But Max blocked her way.
"It is our business ... there are other aliens out there, and this ... harbor demon might know where they are!" Max said as he stared at her.
"Did you ever think that just maybe ... they are working together ... to many people know about this, just about the only people who don't are Kyle and Alex!" Maria said angrily with a big sigh!
"Guess again?" Alex said as Liz, Alex, and Kyle walked in.
"My life is now ... officially ... over!" Maria said as she banged her head against the wall.
"Look, you guys might need our help! We have powers you can't even dream of Maria!" Tess said eyeing the four aliens.
"Well, ... so do we!" Maria replied giving her a big grin.
"We think Buffy is in over her head. She could be killed!" Tess said simingly genially concerned.
"Well, I got news for you ... she has already died." Maria replied slyly.
Everyone stared at her in disbelief. Michael and Liz learned a lot about the prophecy, but they were not told that much about how she was bitten and drowned by the master.
"When Buffy was 16, a vampire called the master, bit her, to much to become a vampire, but enough that it could kill her, then he threw her into a puddle face first and she drowned. 3 minutes later, Xander came by and did CPR. Satisfied. Since then, she has become much stronger, I think it is safe to say, she is stronger than all of you!" Maria replied angrily, looking around noticing that no one was saying a word.
Then all of the sudden the door opened up behind them and in walked Buffy, followed by Willow, Xander, Giles, Angel, Cordelia, Westly, and Faith.
"What's going on?" Buffy asked looking around the crowded room.
"They know!" Maria replied hopelessly.
"They what?" Buffy replied sharply.
"Don't look at me, I only told Liz, it was up to the rest of them." Maria replied as she plopped down onto Liz's bed and covered her face with a pillow.
Giles tried to summon up everything ... again. Everybody wasn't to shocked. They just looked at each other trying to analyze everything. Michael kept staring at Maria who still had the pillow over her face. Why was she acting so immature? Then everyone started arguing.
"Look, this is our problem, we don't need all of you, you will just be liabilities." Buffy said concerned.
"We can help, we all have little things we can help with!" Tess replied commandingly.
"You guys will just get in the way!" Angel replied, not looking at anyone.
"And what the hell reason justifies that. You don't know what *we* have done these past two years." Michael replied angrily.
"I know you are a couple of kids trying to be heroes is a place that doesn't need any. You are trying to salvage something you can't understand!" Angel replied getting in his face.
"You guys, we don't exactly need fighting right now!" Buffy replied as she was starting to get a head ache!
"I don't think Angel knows what he's talking about!" Michael replied showing no resistance. Buffy joined Maria.
"Is he always like this?" Buffy asked giving up.
"....................... yes!" She replied.
"Look, Michael's right, what ever reason you may have, we have just as good as a reason, and no matter what you say, we are going to look into this, with ... or without your help!" Max said breaking up Angel and Michael finally saying a word in this whole Mess.
"Look, this is how it is going to work, Faith, Angel, Buffy, and Me are going to investigate. We have the most experience. This isn't a battle, or a ship coming to pick you up and take you home. We are just getting information, we don't even know what we are facing. Willow and Liz look up what you can in Giles's books on the Harbor Demon. Giles, fill everyone else in on what we know!" Maria finally said shutting everyone up!
"What about me and Cordie!" Xander said.
"What do you usually do?" Maria asked.
"Well, ... that depends, we usually complain, but we sometimes have skills in being diversions!" He said hopefully.
"You can just ... stick to complaining!" Maria said as she, Angel, Buffy, and Faith walked out.
"OK ... I can do that!" Xander replied.
***********************************************************************************************
"So ... what exactly are we looking for?" Maria asked, she never actually went looking for demons, hell, she had never even seen demons with the exception of vampires.
"Looking for a huddle of Vampires ... big monsters ... anything that looks suspicious ... that sort of thing." Buffy replied.
"O ........ k!" Maria replied confused.
"Look kid ... stick to looking for anything weird, and you'll be fine!" Faith replied.
Buffy just stared at Faith. She didn't know how exactly she got out of jail. But Faith hadn't cause any harm ... yet. She just hoped Angel new what he was doing.
"So ... hows it going Faith?" Buffy replied trying to break the silence.
"5 by 5!" She replied giving Buffy a wink.
"What exactly does 5 by 5 mean?" Maria asked reluctantly.
"Just my own little perk!" Faith replied just as hot headed as usual.
"I think I see something!" Angel said pointing in the direction of the ware house that produces cargo boxes just along the harbor. A demon was amercing from the water and immediately dried up and walked inside.
"Well *that* explains it's name!" Maria replied as she got up and began to walk towards the building before Buffy pulled her back down.
"What are you doing?" Buffy asked angrily.
"I was ... I" Maria started to say.
"Common, we got all the information we need for now, let's see how the others are doing!" Angel replied as they all began to walk in the other direction.
***********************************************************************************************
"A harbor demon is just that, a demon from the water. That's where it gets it's energy and power. It regenerates there. But to get stronger they need to eat different types of demons." Willow replied reading from one of the books.
"Is that all you got?" Buffy asked.
Then Liz cut in, "That's the problem, there are different kinds of harbor demons. Since we don't exactly know what it looks like, we can't say which."
"It looks human out of the water ... just ... bigger than normal, when it amerges from the water, it's skin is blue, and it appears a lot bigger!" Maria replied remembering seeing the demon.
"Then that is a Lapras Harbor Demon. Which ... if I forgot to mention ... is the most dangerous kind!" Willow replied.
"You did!" Faith replied slyly.
"So what else do you have on it?" Buffy asked.
Willow looked at Liz, who shook her head no, "Nothing, the only detail description says that only the book Laisa has a better description, but we couldn't find it!"
"Good thing we went to the local library then!" Xander replied as he and Cordelia amerged from the Crashdown door with a huge book in her hands.
"Where did you find that?" Buffy asked amazed.
"The public library, nonetheless. I complained a lot, and Cordelia asked a lot of questions, but I think we got the job done!" Xander replied.
"There is only 1 page in here on the demon you are talking about, but it also has a picture." Cordelia replied giving the heavy book to Buffy.
All of the others except Liz and Maria stayed out of the conversation from the Roswell side. They wanted to help, but honestly didn't know how.
"Well, we got a lot done. I just wish I knew what it was thinking ... what it's agenda was!" Buffy replied really talking to herself.
"Then I might be able to help!" Isabelle jumped into the conversation.
"How?" Angel asked.
"To put simply ... I can dream walk!" Isabelle replied.
"And ...... that would be what exactly?" Faith replied.
"I can go into people, or things dreams." She replied truly believing she could help.
"We may be able to use you after all!" Buffy replied, "What other powers do you guys have?" She replied looking at the other 3 aliens realizing they might be able to help after all.
"Tess can cause hallucinations, I can heal people, and Michael can ..." Max started to say before Buffy interrupted him.
"I ... already know what Michael can do, Maria already filled me in on his *case*" She replied sarcastically.
"What's that supposed to mean?" Michael asked really directing his question to Maria. But she just shrugged at him.
"Well, ... looks like I was wrong! We will need your help after all. We will probably split up into teams. But not today!" Buffy said.
"Why?" Michael asked.
"Simple ... I am tired!" She replied yawning.
"And not tomorrow either!" Maria replied.
"What's wrong with tomorrow?" Michael asked impatiently.
"Patience ... patience ... it's a virtue you know!" Maria replied sleepily.
"Besides ... Some people have to get home or they will ... pouf!" Cordelia said pointing to wear the sun was about to rise.
"And that would be a problem because ..." Xander said sarcastically.
"Tomorrow, we will ... talk, but please, I need SLEEP!" Maria replied as she walked out the door.
"Well, this wasn't exactly the calm day I had in mind ... I actually wanted to do some sight seeing ... meet some aliens ... get in trouble!" Willow said pretending to be disappointed.
"Been there!" Kyle replied.
"Done that!" Liz said as she walked up to her room.
To Be Continued.
