Chapter One:
Let the Games Begin
At first glance you wouldn't think much of Benjamin Kinkler. You would think that he was just another face in the crowd. That he was of no importance to the world. After all how could he be anything more than a possible friend. He was only 5'8 and, while he was tan, he gave off the feel that he didn't go outside very often.
He's also very computer savvy. Give him sixty seconds and a Dr. Pepper and he could crack even the pentagon's toughest files. However Benjamin had a much bigger purpose than anyone could have imagined. You see Benjamin isn't exactly human. Although everything about him, including his slightly crooked nose, looks human enough he is actually a balance demon.
Sent to live among the mortals and forever report on their progress. But now was his moment to shine. Two hours ago his boss had called him into his office and told Benjamin that his services were needed in the small town of Sunnydale. The slayer's town. Both of them.
Now here was little old Benji in the two slayer's town about to embark on a perilous quest. Or so he thought.
"Where the hell is it?" demanded Buffy as she narrowly dodged the vampire's attack. Just two minutes ago she and Faith had been joking around finishing up their patrol of Sunnydale. That was before the demon and his pack of vampires had showed up.
Faith grunted as she delivered a roundhouse kick to a vampire's head. The vamp fell and the slayer wasted no time in staking it. Faith turned and staked a vampire that had been trying to sneak up on her. "No clue," Faith managed to get out before a vamp grabbed her from behind.
Faith quickly head butted the creature but it didn't let go. "You are pretty," he whispered in her ear. Faith dug her nails into the monster's flesh but he just laughed.
Buffy meanwhile was trying to take down the other four vampires while worrying where the demon had gone. One vampire made the mistake of getting to close and in the next three seconds he was dust. The remaining three vamps reminded Buffy of the three stooges.
The "leader" of this pack threw a vampire out in front of her. "Get her Jack," he called as he and the other vampire backed up. Jack quickly wheeled around and nervously smiled at Buffy.
"You're not going to hurt me are you?" he asked.
Buffy smiled. "Nope." Relief spread on the vampire's face. "Just kill ya Curly." Jack stared at her bewildered and in the next instant he was gone.
The sounds of fighting broke Buffy away from her search for the other two vamps. She turned around just in time to Faith thrown into a wall by one really huge and pissed off vampire. It was then she felt a hand on her shoulder.
Using her instincts Buffy flipped the vampire over her shoulder and staked him. "Bye, bye Larry," she said as the creature of the night turned to dust.
Another of Faith's screams made Buffy glance over at her fellow slayer. The big vamp had just delivered a nasty kick to Faith's head and it didn't look like she would be waking up anytime soon.
"Hey Mr. Big Shot!" Buffy called out. Instantly the vampire turned around and upon seeing Buffy smiled.
He started toward her but Moe appeared next to him and held the vamp back. "Listen Smit, I know you wanna kill this bitch just as much as I do but the boss ain't gonna like all that much."
The big vamp nodded and turned toward Faith. "What about her?" he asked.
Moe looked her over and shook his head. "Nah. She looks tough. Probably could take out me."
It was with this remark that Moe burst into dust. "Sorry Moe but you let your guard down," said Buffy looking at the pile of dust. At was at this point that Smit, fueled by Buffy killing his friend, smacked her hard across the face.
Buffy was sent flying into the same wall Faith had hit earlier. Buffy could taste the blood in her mouth and her vision was blurring. The big vampire leaned over her and lifted her up by the hair. "Bye, bye slayer," he said.
Buffy quickly, with the small amount of energy left in her, pulled out a stake and rammed it home. "Bye, bye vampire," she managed to get out before the vampire exploded into dust causing her to fall to the ground. Hard.
As she slowly fell into unconsciousness she made out two more vampires approaching her. But as soon as they had appeared they turned to dust. And before she completely blacked out she saw Xander and Giles, both armed with crossbows, walk out of the shadows.
The last thing Buffy heard was Xander say, "Looks like Buff forgot that the Three Stooges also once had Shemp and Curly Joe."
When Buffy came around she was lying down in her bed with her mother asleep in a chair by her side. Footsteps sounded up the stairs and Xander appeared in her doorway.
"And how is my favorite Slayer doing today?" he asked as walked into the room.
"Fine," Buffy lied. In truth she had a major headache.
"That's good to hear," Xander said as he wrapped Joyce in one of Buffy's spare blankets.
"How long was out?" Buffy asked.
Xander sat down on her bed and did the math in his head. "Long enough for my relationship with Cordelia to end, for me and Willow to have a kissed, for Willow and Oz to get back together, for your mom and Giles to get all buddy like, for Faith to wake up, and finally for Spike to come waltzing back into town."
Buffy looked at Xander shocked. "That long?" she asked.
Xander smiled. "Why my dear Buff, you've only been out for two days!"
Benji sat down at his desk and opened the "Top Secret" file. After he read it Benji knew his work was cut out for him.
"Why couldn't they have asked Whistler to do this," Benji whined.
Buffy entered Slayer Central with Xander right behind her. Giles, Willow, and Oz all looked up from the books they were reading and smiled.
"Buffy it's good to see your O.K.," said Willow smiling. Oz nodded in agreement.
Giles walked over to his slayer and looked her over. "You look good enough for my approval," he said jokingly.
Buffy smiled but it quickly disappeared. "Is Spike still in town?" she asked.
Giles nodded. "I'm afraid our blonde friend seems to not have learned his lesson."
Buffy shook her head. "And he broke his promise."
"Spike break a promise? No!"
Buffy sent Xander an annoyed looked but her friend just smiled. "So what is he up to?" she asked.
Giles shrugged. "I'm afraid I don't know yet. But we have plan. While you patrol tonight Xander and myself will try to get some info on him while Willow and Oz stay here and research our demon friend."
"What demon?" asked Buffy.
"The one that attacked you and Faith," said Willow.
Buffy nodded. That was all she needed. A demon and Spike.
Xander and Giles were tired. They had asked around town and no one, not even Willy, knew where Spike was hiding. "I suppose it is useless to try and continue," said Giles.
Xander nodded in agreement. The watcher said his goodbyes and set off to tell Oz and Willow to go home. Xander turned around started to walk home when he noticed something. There was light in Angel's mansion.
He quickly ran to the front window and the sight he saw broke his heart. Buffy was sucking face with Angel. He quickly turned around and raced for the library when he tripped on a root.
"Smooth move," came a voice.
Xander jumped up and came face to face with a tan young man. 'you have to be Xander Harris," he said.
"What's it to you?" asked Xander.
The man smiled. "My name is Benji Kinkler and I am a balance demon. My job is to level the balance between good and evil. I have been snet to inform you that you are a White Knight destined love of a Slayer."
