Part 3


Time: 6 months later- timeline The Zeppo

Lt Alex Harris, Sgt John King and Corporal Robert James hid in the long grasses of the Fields they were training in. Alex motioned for them to split and go three separate ways, himself to the front, one each of them to the sides. The moved out further into the grasses until they came within striking distance of the clearing, looking out with his combat scope Alex saw his target and prepared to fire. Two signals from his men told him that they were ready, at the prearranged time the three of them popped up in a perfect equilateral triangle and fired their guns mowing down every enemy soldier at the post.

"Cease fire." Called the range officer. "Safety on guns all units stand down.
Alex pulled off his camouflage hood and looked at his men. The Range officer approached him.

"That's six minutes and no casualties a record by three minutes and one casualty. Congratulations Lt Harris Please report to debriefing at Headquarters."

The other five approached him and his men all removing various types of protective Headgear In command was Sgt Gabrielle Harris. She walked up to her estranged husband.

"You got us there Alex, How did you know what and where we were."

"Simple I looked for a place with a good shelter and readily available water supply. Plus you are quite predictable."

"I am not"

"You are too."

This banter was normal for the two- they two had been married a month into the training and had split up two months later when they realised they really weren't meant to be together like that. They were still close friends though closer that anyone he had ever been to- that he could remember anyway. They group tuned back to each other and started walking back to the barracks it was a 5-hour march but they were up to it.

Alex walked up to his friend and cohort John King and whispered to him.

"Hey have you seen the way that Robbie James and Gabby look at each other."

"Hell yeah she looks like she wants to rip his pants off and dive right in. He looks like he's going to faint if she ever asks him to. No offence Alex but you didn't exactly turn her around like that."

"Your telling me I mean look at the way she ever so coyly looks at him, he looks away and blushes I'm going to push them together if they are going to get any where"

"Yeah, how you doing those dreams still affecting you."

"Yeah it's weird I see A Blond a Brunette and a Redhead and some other girl whose hair changes colour."

"Maybe you a prince and their your Harem"
(Author's Note Uh-hmm hey lads)

"I don't think so I'm going on to scout ahead the boss could be setting up a trap for us."


*Maybe I can sort out these dreams I'm having. Thought Alex silently

Sunnydale Army Base 0:600 Hours

"Alright Ladies up and at em" shouted Sgt King. "We've got the University visit today and we want to be early and ready to meet the group already here."

A few minutes later after fatigues and exercise the Head-Hunters sat down to Breakfast.

"Alright Boss what's the news" Chip asked Alex

"Well we'll be starting here today, different people to different classes, Stacy and John will join the Psych class you others will get your assignments once we have met up with Commander Finn. Keep an eye out there's been reports of some kind of powerful HST- Vampire Breed. At that point his head started pounding and a memory made it's way up.

A body slumped on the floor drowned in a small puddle of water, the blond hair of the body around it's face. Another memory this one he was bent over the body giving her mouth to mouth. She started breathing on her own. She said one word to him. "Xander?" A final memory a particularly ugly vamp the one that killed her fought against the Girl- Slayer??. *Where did that come from*. Finally she killed the vamp there the memory ended.

To the outside it was barely a second before he stopped shaking.

"Alex you okay" asked a concerned Gabby "Sit down."

"Another memory Alex?" King Again

"Yeah the same person and one hell of an ugly HST, he must have been old he seemed like it. He was strong fast and had some type of PSI powers. Don't worry he's dusted."

"Dusted?"

"Yeah, I... I don't know where that came from."

"That goes with you Buff and Wills statements."

"Yeah I suppose. OK troops lets move."


Three hours later Professor Walsh's Psyche class.

Willow Buffy and Faith are sitting together talking when two people sit next to them; the four of them hadn't seen them in class yesterday. One was a male just over six foot tall with mid- length dark hair and greeny brown eyes, the other was female with long reddish hair and Brown eyes. The way they walked in together showed that the two of them were a couple, Faith was closest to them so said hello. The two newcomers responded in kind.

"I'm John This is Stacy,, My other half."

"I'm Amy, This is Faith Buffy and Willow."

"Hey"- the six of them just started a conversation when Professor Walsh came into the room along with Riley Finn. The class settled in and the class began, at the end the class left with the Exception of the new people. Once the class had left the two of them went up to Walsh and Finn, Stacy closed the main doors.

"Can I help you Mr...?"

"King, Sgt john King, this is Lance Corporal Stacy King. We're new units attached to your group Professor Walsh."

"Ah yes The Head-Hunters I've heard about you and your Commander- Alexander Harris isn't it."

"Yes Ma'am. that's also something I need to talk to you about. I would like members of the Group to keep an eye on those four that we were next to."

"Buffy Summers, Willow Rosenberg, and that girl Faith, yes I'm going to anyway there is something strange about those four."

Both of them stiffened slightly after hearing those names- two of those names Alex had said.

"What have they got to do with anything." Asked Riley

"Well Commander Harris is from around here and we think that he knows them. When we get the chance we'll try to integrate him back here and if he knows them then he may get his memory back. That would be good for us because he obviously has knowledge of HSTs we don't and maybe even some soldiering he had done before."

"OK I'll have my people look after them. I want your squad at headquarters within the hour." Ordered Maggie Walsh "Dismissed."

The two left the room following the rest of the class to the next room, as luck would have it Alexander and the rest were there to luckily no-one from the scoobies were there.

"Alex we have to go The commander of the Initiative wants us there within the hour."

"OK Lets go." The group left out one door while the Scooby females came in the other, Alex and the Hunters made their way to the Initiative headquarters. Once in the hall they walked up to the mirror where Commander Finn of the Initiative met them. The group turned to the mirror and Identified themselves

"Commander Riley Finn"
"Commander Alexander Harris- CO Headhunters"
"Lt Commander John King- XO Headhunters"
"Lt Commander Gabrielle Harris"
"Lt Chip Masters"
"Sgt Robert James"
"Sgt Steven Austin"
"Corporal Jennifer Cane"
"Lance Corporal Stacy King"

The mirror slid back and the group took it down to the depths of the earth beneath UC Sunnydale. Once there they were relieved of ID and weaponry and put through an ID screening. They were screened for any type of demon infestation or non-natural occurrences in their DNA- apart from one brain abnormality and one strange reading in his frontal lobe in the squad commander they all passed without a problem. Once they were passed they were re-equipped with their weaponry and given their indoctrination. They were also given room assignments with the three girls and three of the boys in two rooms, Alex and John were assigned senior officers quarters, right next door to Commander Riley Finn.
There was a knock on the door, John King opened it to find Riley Finn outside,

"Hey Riley, come in you want to talk to the Boss."

"Yeah actually I'd like to tell you both about the party tonight in the hall. We'd like you both there with the rest of your team. Look around see if there's anything that you find strange around here- I mean apart from the hellmouth being less than a mile away."

Alex spoke up, "Ok no problem we'll be there, time to see what this town has going for it."

"Your Records say you're from this area and that you may have found some of your abilities here. How much do you remember about this area."

"Not much I remember some faces maybe a place or two but nothing concrete as soon as I do I'll let you know."


"Fine no problem, now this party tonight I've invited a few people from the Initiative and I think that a few others might come along, especially this attractive blonde, a redhead and two dark haired girls..."

"Count me out" said John Flashing his ring finger, "Already attached, which reminds me. Could Stacy and I get a different room, I assume this college does married couples dorms."

" Yeah but the entire college was filled this year we were lucky to get your team in but if anything opens up I'll let you know Maggie has some sway with the board of directors. We might be able to sort it out"

"Thanks. I gotta go meet Stacy, Rob and Gabby See you guys later."

"See ya later." With that John left the two commanders.
