England - Watchers HQ
"What!?" Faith could hardly believe what she was hearing they let Spike go off on his own? No not just on his own but after Drusilla and Angelus he wasn't ready hell even after his last trail his first few assignments would be with her as his partner just so he could work out a few kinks. The young slayer felt like hitting something if she ever got her hands on William!
"He didn't leave by himself Ms. Bradford Giles was with him the only reason I know that he left to go after Angelus and the Phoenix dagger was because of Mr. Giles note." Being head of the Watchers Council Fred had to always had to be clam if she was going to lead than she should have the answers to the slayers questions. There was just no way to foresee that William would actually talk Giles into hunting Angelus just because some woman told him to. Fred wondered how the hell this Tara got in the training facility Giles said in his note that he suspected magic but she had ordered all Watchers homes, offices, and the HQ itself warded. Must have been powerful magic Fred hoped she would not lose one of the slayers especially now Willow had made it clear that she felt something happing and Fred had learned to trust the witch long ago. Willow had a strange ability to sense evil not even she was sure how it worked only that it came and went and right now Willow said it felt as if a shadow was slowly covering the Earth. Grim times to only have one slayer around. Just then a young man entered the room.
"Excuse me but I thought you should know there is a young American man who claims to have arranged a meeting with you?" Fred made an exasperated hiss Faith was nowhere done with this and the dark haired warrior was about to rise all kinds of hell when Fred stalled her.
"Bring Mr. Finn here Faith, Willow I want you both here for this." The slayer could not hide her confusion first off she had a meeting with someone from an America? Was she scared he'd try something well Fred was not a fighter but she was far from weak this Mr. Finn may just bite off more than he can chew if he thinks he was going to attack Fred.
Just then a young man dressed in military clothing entered the room. He was alone but the way he carried himself you'd think he had a whole platoon with him.
"I come alone as you requested now will you listen to me." Well it would seem Mr. Finn was rather irritated. Fred eyed him up and down trying to measure him up Fred spoke.
"I have to admit I don't really like the idea of your military you are messing with forces you can not possibly comprehend." The young man simply shrugged he had better control of himself now.
"I'd think you'd like the help I mean we hunt them like you." Fred snorted.
"You put them in cages that's far to dangerous." Then as an after thought she added. "No telling what you're trying to create."
"We catch them and study that's it besides I came to offer you help in killing Angelus." Willow took this opportunity to speak up.
"He has the Gem of Amarra he can't die according to what we know Drusilla has the Phoenix dagger and is the only reason Angelus has been jumping around so much he's gotten use to being invincible. I think he is scared to face Drusilla or even come near the dagger."
"So he has some artifact that would explain a lot well the answer is simple get Drusilla take the dagger then kill Angelus." Faith shook her head and explained further.
"The dagger is a powerful weapon itself she is learning to use it's powers well you see Mr. Finn…"
"Riley please." Faith nodded and continued.
"Riley the dagger can shoot a cleansing flame that can burn away any energy evil or otherwise even the energy the Gem of Amarra admits only the dagger's wielder is safe from it's flame." By the end Riley was deep in thought he wanted no needed Angelus dead he had lost far to many men to that creature.
"Ok between our own respective groups we should be able to take the dagger." Riley wasn't sure how well he'd get along with this woman but he needed her help.
"Leave the dagger to us I have a slayer on it as we speak." Riley nodded relieved the slayer he was feeling a little better.
"Well if he needs backup be sure to let us know." With that Riley stepped out and walked out. Then Faith all but exploded.
"Spike is not a full slayer yet! He is going to get killed I have to go after him!" Fred looked at the slayer her expression carrying the full power of her position.
"You are going to Sunnydale with Mr. Finn and I am sending word to Daniel to join you I don't know what he'll say but his ability to track demon's is even better than yours Faith. So you'd better hope he comes the sooner we find Angelus the sooner we can inform William where he will be going once he finds the dagger." With each order Faith became angrier and angrier. Now Fred had to cool her down and quickly so she spoke quickly.
"I will personally go after William myself I will bring my own agents but in the act of friendship I will ask Mr. Finn for his aid as well we will find him before he face's Drusilla." Faith cooled down a bit Fred had informants all over the globe she would find Spike quick enough.
"Do we really need Daniel's help." Willow asked nervously she could still remember the last night they where together.
"Yes personal feelings aside he will be of great help let us not forget who he is working for." Fred knew about the Powers and she would gladly take any information they passed to the young musician. Just then Fred thought of something and could not stop herself from laughing it was so simple!
"She was working for the Powers." Faith and Willow both knew who she was.
"The one you said Giles talked about in his notes?" Willow asked.
"So you think Spike was suppose to go." Faith followed up Willow.
"Perhaps if I know how they work if Tara didn't convince him he'd have left own his own well I am still going to ring his neck when I find him." Fred walked out of the room to speak with Riley.
L A - Present day
"Fred and Faith are going to be so pissed at us." Spike said eyes darting all over the place
trying to see everything he could of the City of Angels. Giles shifted uneasily in the cab the watcher had done nothing but complain "well let him bitch" thought Spike.
"Spike honestly we need to discuss strategy Drusilla is not going to just give you that bloody dagger." Giles already had a few working theories on how to go about getting the dagger away from Drusilla.
"Later Giles right now just relax come on Ripper has they say in these parts just chill." Giles shoot Spike a dirty look he hated that name he wished he'd never told the fool about his younger days.
The cab stopped in a rather dark part of town Spike knew walking around here he'd need his slayer strength and not just for vampires. Giles stiffed visibly he wasn't scared just being prepared. Giles paid the cab fair and walked with Spike. He knew why they where here a vampire with a weapon like the Phoenix Dagger won't go unnoticed. Spike stopped and looked right at a nearby building it had been condemned it looked as if it would tip over any second.
"A nest." Giles asked he knew that Spike would nod his head well sundown was in thirty minutes both men wanted the vamps up and ready Spike needed the exercise.
New York - local club
Daniel Osborne or Oz as he liked to be called was tuning his guitar when Richard, the club's manager interrupted him.
"Yo you got a call Oz!" Oz quickly put down his guitar and ran up stairs to the phone the club wasn't to full so he could hear the caller well.
"Hello Oz." He knew that voice it still filled him with happiness.
"Willow it's good to hear from you!" He knew that Willow loved him hell he loved her more than anything but working for the Powers while she worked for the Council it was hard to get anytime to be together.
"You sound fine how are the visions?" Oz smiled she wanted a favor she was nervous he deiced to play along.
"Fine still hurt a little thought but thanks to my…. Stronger half it makes them barable."
Willow knew what stronger half he was referring to the wolf was the only buffer against the visions otherwise he'd fry his brain.
"I miss you Oz." Willow meant it he knew it.
"Go ahead and ask I will do anything for you." Willow blushed and Oz shuffled his feet nervously. He was not used to these feelings he had loved women before but Willow had him form the first day he saw her.
"I'm sorry to ask but will you come with me to Sunnydale." Oz couldn't believe it spend more time with her hell yes he would wait Sunnydale that sounded familiar.
"The Hell Mouth is this about Angelus?" The Powers had only told him of the vampires current whereabouts nothing else.
"Y..y..e..yess how did you know?" Oz felt his heart stop he couldn't beat Angelus.
"Do you have some plan cooked up." Oz had heard of the last few attempts on Angelus it wasn't pretty first their was Alexander Harris then Darla a very deadly crowd he had around himself.
"Yes but before I tell you, you must tell me if you will come with me." Oz didn't have to think twice.
"Yes I will go." Willow and Oz talked for hours and not all the talk was about their mission.
Sunnydale - Angules's Hideout
Darla looked at Xander with barely hidden impatience Xander simply looked back at her blankly.
"Do you know where Dru is yet have you even got a plan on how to deal with her." Xander snorted.
"Yeah it involves my foot and her rear." The man had no imagination really besides he'd most likely get fried again. Drusilla may love him but she most certainly didn't trust him.
"Can't you employ a little bit of sedulity." The only response she got form him was a finger.
Sunnydale - Magic Shop
Buffy and Wisely eyed the contents of the store with amusement half of this stuff was useless their where some small items of interest not much though.
"I think Tara was mistaken I mean who here is gonna help us find Angelus." Wisely was getting board he wanted to walk around a bit this was his first trip to the Hell Mouth.
"I don't think so that lady has been eyeing me since I came here." Buffy said ponting to the lady who was indeed staring. Wisely wanting leave just walked right up the lady and asked…
"Can you help us.. I'm not sure how ask this but… I need to find a vampire." The lady answered.
"Well what about the one behind you."
Next chapter Buffy and Wisely locate Angelus but run into Xander. While Spike and Giles run into some problems of their own and Faith and Willow hook up with Oz.
