Spike took Dawn upstairs then, a strange light in his eyes when he picked up the urn. Trucks arrived and picked up most of the military men, leaving behind a fresh group of them who immediately set up a guard detail. The inhabitants of the apartments were leaving. All taking time to assure Angel that they had every kind of insurance available on the belongings they were leaving behind. The majority of the teens left with the military men. The new was blasting about how some antigovernment military on pcps had taken over Sunnydale. This sounded perfectly reasonable to Jeff and Chris. People were always claiming that they were they're own country. Now because in this case it was California, they'd gotten high first, then taken over a town instead of building their own. Jeff and Chris had watched, and helped in some cases, as expert medical care was given to those that needed it. Now they were still waiting for the explanation. Chris had gotten them all out of the house show with the simple explanation that the girls were from sunnydale, and that Dawn wouldn't let anyone leave. Vince had caved after Jeff had passed on the news about Buffy. Not the best way to make your employer let you have the night off.
Now it was them, Chris and Jeff, alone is Angels office with Faith, Willow, Wesley and Giles. The explanation was coming. Giles cleared his throat.
"You realize that what I am about to tell you can not leave this office?" He asked gently, his voice sounding very tired. Chris nodded but Jeff raised an eyebrow.
"Why?" Jeff asked, ignoring the pleading looks that were being sent his way. Giles sighed.
"Its very dangerous information." Giles looked at Wesley who rose and came back with the leader of the military troops as well as Spike. The Military guy stood stiffly at ease.
"Not only is it dangerous for you to know in general. If you say the wrong word to the wrong person, you could die." He said stiffly. "My name is Riley, and i work for the government. Top Secret Black forces ops. If you use this information in the wrong way, our government will have you silenced." Jeff nodded, he'd figured as much.
"I'm a Canadian." Chris said softly. "You guys know that right?" people laughed, and Riley just nodded.
"Yes, that information is in your file." Riley said matter of factly. "Now, Mr. Giles has quite the story to tell. But I can assure you, its all true." The door opened and Xander limped in, half supported by Cordelia.
"We're part of the original Scoobies," Xander said, as if that was supposed to mean something. "So we thought we'd sit in, toss in our point of views." They sat, Xander on the floor, Cordeilia on the desk.
"In every generation," Giles intoned, pausing to smile at Xander.
"Ohh the story.." Xander said sadly, "he loves to tell it." Willow and Cordelia smiled softly.
"There is born a girl, she alone can fight the darkness. She alone is the chosen one, the slayer." Gile said, his voice rich with sadness and memories. Faith leaned forwards, waving to catch their attention.
"Which is where i come in." She said, slowly. "I'm the slayer. The only one."
"And what do these slayers do?" Chris asked, his voice full of sarcasm.
"They kill vampires." Giles and Willow said in unison. Jeff snorted and Chris snickered. Then Spike leaned forwards.
"Which is where i come in." He said shooting a glare at Riley. Then his face changed, leaving Jeff and Chris with mouths you could put tea light candles in for a unique lightshow. His face morphed back and forth a few times, his eyes going from yellow to blue.
"Once upon a time." Giles said gently, after a moment, "there was such a girl, her name was Buffy summers, and she lived in LA with her parents." Jeffs brain instantly added 'And her sister'.
"What about Dawn?" Chris asked, his brow furrowed.
"Ms. Summers comes in later." Wesley replied.
"Buffy was a cheerleader, a very talented and popular one." Giles went on, "so naturally, her call to fight the icky things of the world," Willow and Cordy smiled. "was not as important as the spring dance. but vampires attacked her school, and in order to kill all the vampires inside, she burnt down the gym. She was expelled, her parents divorced, and Buffy and her mother moved to sunnydale."
"Which is where we come in." Xander tossed in. "We all met her there. We were her back up." Xander, Willow and Giles told the story of Buffys first year in sunnydale.
"Wait, you said that each slayer is called by the death of the previous slayer?" Jeff asked. "So Faith just got called?"
"We were just about to get to that." Giles said kindly. "Buffy was part of a prophecy regarding the opeing off the hellmouth. She was supposed to die, and she did, but Xander brought her back."
"Using what?" Chris asked, "necromancy?"
"Mouth to mouth." Xander replied. "But She'd died, so another slayer was called."
"Faith right?" Jeff asked.
"No, actually." Wesley said, "another girl, who's name was Kendra."
"And she died a year later," Spike tossed in, "Back when Angel went all bad and decided to end the world. Drusilla got her. Then Buffy sent Angel to hell."
"When Kendra died," Faith said softly, "I was called. My watcher was killed, and i ran across the country to Sunnydale."
"Right and then you went bad." Cordy said, "You see the mayor was like this big evil demon thing, and he changed that way at our graduation,"
"Where he ate the evil little troll of a princicple." Giles tossed in.
"Right, but we fought back, and blew up the library." Cordy finished, "Killing him off."
"And Angel left and moved here." Willow said.
"You haven't mentioned Dawn in any of this." Chris said, then the shout came up from one of the guards.
"Sunset!" A Young Man called. Giles opened the office door and called Raven over.
