Disclaimer: Joss owns all, he is a genius.

NOTE: The sunnydale that buffy is in is the one from the wish, cause i totally
loved that episode and wanted to have fun with it. also in the Los Angeles
that Xander and Tara are in Angel never left the hyprerion in 1952. If you
watch Angel you'll know what I'm talking about.



Chapter 4: Sunnydale.


When Buffy had woke up a day ago she was alone. When she came to in the alley she
quickly realized that it was the alley behind the magic box. She had tried the back
door but it was locked. So she started walking.
Her walking had bought her here, she was standing out front of giles house, she was
also bruised and bleeding. It happened shortly after she left the alley, she had never
seen so many vampires in one place at one time. That was her first clue that something
wasn't right. Seven vampires all attacked her at once. It was one hell of a fight but
she had managed to dust them all. The second thing that told her that something was
majorly wrong was that there was no one at all out on the streets and businesses were
boarded up. So instead of going home she went straight to giles. She walked up the
steps and knocked on the door. Giles opened it and just stared at her.
"Giles I'm so glad you're home." Buffy said
"Who are you and how do you know my name?" Giles replied.

Willlow came to shortly after Spike let out his ear splitting scream. She watched as
the vampire attacked relentlessly. Spike ducked under a punch and all he could do was
push him back, he lucked out. The vampire lost his balance and impaled himself on a
broken crate, leaving behind a little pile of dust. It was a cheap victory but Spike
didn't care.
"Why did you scream like that? Did he hurt you?" Willow asked.
"No, this sodding chip did." He smiled at her.
"I was begining to think you bought it Red." He said.
"The chip hurt you when you hit the vampire?" Willow asked confused.
"Yes and that's not the only bloody thing wrong with this place. We've
been here a long time and no sun. Not that I'm complaining about that."
"An alternate dimension." Willow said.
"Probably a side effect of your little spell. Anyway now that you're awake we should
get moving." Spike said as he started walking. Willow called him back.
"Only one problem with that. I can't move my legs."
"Bollocks." Spike replied.

"So when did little sis learn to fight like that?" Faith asked.
"When I became a slayer in training." Dawn said.
"You're one of the chosen, man go to jail and miss everything."
They came up over the edge of the rock formation they were climbing and stood face to
face with a thin river of lava.
"Great how are we getting across there?" Dawn asked.
"With slayer strength." Faith answered
Before Dawn could say anything, Faith grabbed her by the arm, spun and tossed her across,
Dawn landed on the other side crouched down with a thud. She stood and turned around.
"Now how are you getting across?"
"With him." Faith said.
Dawn followed her gaze to the sky to see that their winged friend had come back.

It screeched and swooped down at Faith, she jumped real quick and landed on its back. She
punched it a couple of times and then wrapped her jacket around it's neck. When it flew to
the other side of the river, she yanked up hard and broke its neck. It went into a tailspin
and crashed face first, throwing Faith off. She stood next to Dawn.
"Well that was exciting." Dawn said.
Now there was a loud crack and a big gust of wind that sent them flying backwards.
"What the hell." Faith said.
"Look at that." Dawn pointed
About two hundred yards ahead a portal had opened.

Xander and Tara stood in front of the Hyperion hotel and just looked at it. There was something
wrong. Buffy had told him that it was only his business in this building. So either Angel was doing
some serious business or this place was still a hotel open to the public. All kinds of people were
coming in and out and taxis were dropping people off. Xander turned to Tara.
"Well shall we go inside?" He asked.
