Okay, just to prove I do read reviews, here's a summary first.

In LA-The contract with Wolfram and Hart means that they own your soul when you die. Angel's undead status means that they can claim it at any time. Lilah warns Wesley of this out of gratitude for his attempt to destroy her contract. He warns Fred and they escape from the returned Angelus with the science nerd Knox(by the way, is that a surname?). Gunn has been possessed by the panther in the white room, gaining lycanthropic abilities. They return to Wesley's house, and Oz arrives having been sent to deal with Gunn, and showing he has equal control over his bestial side. They decide that the contracts must be destroyed, and realize that their best chance of discovering how is to contact Lindsey. Angelus makes plans to build an army, and when Drusilla shows up, he decides he no longer wants to put up with her ravings, and orders security to kill her. After this she goes to a college to find a student named Brian (Who has a girlfriend called Tracy, and who Drusilla calls her little brother. Guess who he is.) Meanwhile, a group of vampires and demons worshipping the First wait for a portal to the Hellmouth to open and a Tarok-Han to emerge. They are nonplussed when Spike is produced instead. He has become human, but exhibits super-natural strength in escaping from the disappointed cultists. Drusilla contacts the warlock who first erased Brian's memories, and he informs her that an object from his old life is required. She goes to the Hyperion, from which they have just uninvited Angelus, and manages to threaten Fred until Lorne invites her in. She takes a Gameboy and tells her vampire not to hurt Fred because she is family. Oz recognizes her and says he can track her, and they follow after her.

Scoobies-In Barrington, a town close to Sunnydale, Robin Wood is given a job as the principal there, and the Slayers move into new Headquarters and resolve to make a new Watcher's Council. A nerdish student tells Dawn and Amanda about military personnel who have been hanging around the old Hellmouth, and Buffy and Xander go to confront them. Buffy blackmails General Parker into meeting her.

My summaries will become more succinct as the story gets longer, so don't worry. These scenes aren't exactly in chronological order, but are arranged as the plot for each advances. Eventually as plots mingle they will become chronological.

Chapter 6

Barrington-Docks-Day Buffy: I was starting to think you weren't coming.

Parker: After what you said? I've done a search on you, as far as I can tell you haven't been part of a single operation, much less one that would involve you being allowed access to information that classified. How did you know that stuff?

Buffy: Actually I was part of the Initiative for the very short period of time between me joining and Professor Walsh deciding to have me killed.

Parker: You don't just get signed up from being a civilian to joining that.

Buffy: I'm not an ordinary citizen. Buffy Summers. I'm the-a Slayer.

Parker: No-one even knew about Project 314 until after Professor Walsh was dead. If you left the organization before how did you learn about it?

Buffy: Mostly 'cause I'm one of the people who had to clean up your mess.

Parker: Meaning?

Buffy: I killed Adam. I think I'm the one who should be asking questions here. What are you doing with the Hellmouth?

Parker: I don't know anything about a "Hellmouth".

Buffy: Then why are you digging right where it was?

Parker: We heard reports of an undocumented race of subterrestrials appearing here. Rumour had it that they were compatible enough with humans to produce the species you call vampires, and Professor Walsh wanted to see if they would be usable for his research.

Buffy: What! No. Professor Walsh is dead. Actually dead and dead again, and I'm the only one allowed to come back to life that many times. Did you say "his"?

Parker: Professor Matthew Walsh. A nephew.

Buffy: And as he seems to share his aunt's interests you thought you'd put him in charge?

Parker: Yes, Matthew differs from Maggy Walsh in two main aspects. Slightly less brilliant, but more sane.

Buffy: And what's his research?

Parker: He is trying to create biological implants or compounds which will increase human ability without some of the more drastic side effects that Maggy Walsh's chemicals produced.

Buffy: Yeah, doing away with the insanity side effect. Hey, when you said "more sane" did you mean he's sane, or did you actually mean he's more sane?

Parker: Matthew Walsh is a brilliant and devoted scientist who is conducting vital research at considerable cost to himself.

Buffy: What exactly does that mean?

Parker: Well, although he has conclusively proven that there will be no side effects, it can be hard to make the drug legal to be used, even by covert operators, and testing for them requires-

Buffy: Please don't tell me he's testing them on himself.

Parker: Basically yes.

Buffy: You people are insane. You just don't learn. I mean HELLO! Last time you messed around with this stuff the world was nearly taken over by cyborg things. And now you may be risking reopening the Hellmouth so you can turn your operatives into half-demon super-soldiers or something.

Parker: What the Hell is a Hellmouth?

Buffy: Weak point between dimensions which draws demons towards it and from which true demons, which tend to be about sixty-feet long, can issue forth if it's opened.

Parker: And you have the audacity to call us insane.

Buffy: I can get you proof if you need it. Why are you doing this? I mean now that everyone's got nuclear weapons isn't the whole idea of having super-soldiers a little redundant?

Parker: Well, as you seem so well versed in top secret information perhaps you can tell me what a Suvolte is?

Buffy: Uhhh. Yeah. Big, ugly, tough, breeds fast. What about them?

Parker: Somehow, they're getting smart. We can't just blow up nests anymore. They're learning to get in close. They're learning tactics, and we don't know how because all our tests show that they're practically brainless. Do you know how few of our operatives can take on a Suvolte demon and stand a chance of winning in hand-to-hand? Wait a second, the Suvolte situation started long after the Initiative was dissolved. How do you know about that?

Buffy: One came here. Riley Finn came to me for help getting it.

Parker: You know Riley Finn?

Buffy: Old friends. Well actually more complicated, but…

Parker: Oh. Oh, I-I'm very sorry for your loss.

Buffy: Loss? What loss? How is there loss involved? Oh God he's… he's dead?

Parker: They ambushed his platoon. It was the first time they had done anything like that. We suspect they may have targeted him deliberately, but we have no idea why.

Buffy: So you're trying to make your soldiers stronger.

Parker: Yes, but our efforts here have been fruitless. We'll be packing up in a day or so. Soon we'll be out of your hair.

Buffy: That's it?

Parker: We have heard that this area is being dealt with. We have no desire to interfere if you can handle it.

Buffy: They never told me. More than a year, and no-one bothered to tell me.

Parker: To tell you the truth, there wasn't anyone left to tell. No-one who has known him for a long time has survived, and his wife, well…

Buffy: What?

Parker: She deserted into the jungle after she was told. None of us have seen her, but there have been unexpected explosions. She may still be alive.

Buffy: (Exhales slowly) If they're getting smarter, it may mean that someone or something is controlling them now. We may be able to find out who.

Parker: How?

Buffy: Do you believe in magic? If not we'd better show you. Coming?

Parker: I think you're insane, but I'd be willing to accept proof. I'm coming. So what's a Slayer?

Vampire Lair-Night

(Drusilla is beaming happily as vampires set up the warlock's apparatus. Brian is chained to the wall, shirtless and with a sigil lightly carved into his skin. Every few minutes it heals enough that it has to be replaced. The warlock makes a few final adjustments to his equipment.

Warlock: We're ready to begin.

Drusilla: Goody. (She walks up to Brian) My dear little bwother. Daddy thought he could hide you, but I always see. And soon, we'll let you out. We'll make Daddy pay.

Brian: Please let me go.

Warlock (Rolls his eyes) Everyone says that. Let's get started.

Vampire: What do you want us to do?

Warlock: (Looks at him and sneers) Stay out of my way. (He pulls out a knife, and slits Brian's wrists over two bowls, one black, one silver. Drusilla breathes in sharply and steps forward)

Drusilla: I won't lose more family.

Warlock: It is necessary for the ritual. He will survive it. (He starts to chant over the bowls.)

(The door bursts open, and the remnants of AI is standing there.)

Vampire: You will not stop his return!

Brian: Please, help me!

Fred: Okay, so we kill the vampires and let free the human sacrifice, thus stopping them from summoning evil demon.

Wesley: Fred, this isn't right.

Lorne: That's why we're stopping it.

Wesley: That's not what I mean. That boy isn't a sacrifice. Look at it. Everything is aligned towards him. The ritual isn't drawing power from him. Whatever it's doing, it's doing it to him.

Fred: Okay, kill the vampires AND the not-human not-sacrifice. (She shoots one with a crossbow. He dusts, and the others rush forward.)

A vampire stops and eyes Lorne warily, then lunges. He gets him around the throat and is starting to twist when Wesley stakes him. Fred reloads and shoots another. Oz transforms his arms and rips the head off one. He is starting towards the wall where Brian is chained when Drusilla leaps down from the platform and kicks him in the stomach. She tries to bit him on the neck, but he twists his head around her, transforms, and bites her instead. Lorne and Fred try to work their way forward, mostly by him making them think he's the more dangerous due to his demonic appearance while Fred stakes them. Drusilla uses both arms to pry Oz's jaws off her neck, then balls her fists and knocks him down. When he rises she ducks under his swing and shoves him through the air into a wall. Wesley's wrist-blade shoots out of his arm as he blocks a vampire's punch with one arm, and he decapitates it with the other. He glances around to see Drusilla coming towards him, and uses the wrist device on his other arm to shoot out a grapnel into the far wall, near the ceiling. He activates it, pulling him over the heads of the vampires, and lets go in midair. He lands in front of Brian. The warlock is too immersed in his ritual to interfere. He raises the blade over Brian.

Wesley: I'm sorry. (He brings down the blade as the chanting stops. A hand snaps out, and catches the blade in its fingers)

Connor: Trying to kill me Wesley? What would Dad say? (Wesley steps back and Connor rips his chains out of the wall and grabs his throat. He looks around and throws him into Oz, who is just standing up. Then he turns and jumps through the window. Drusilla runs after him)
