A/N Hey Guys to make sure all of you understand what is going on basically
The First is able to make its move now because the balance of good and evil
was shifted. Buffy was supposed to let Dawn die. The Key is not still
supposed to exist. Then Buffy was brought back, Connor was born and Spike
sought out his soul.To defeat it all of them must connect through blood
ritual at the center of the hellmouth. Now on with the story and thanks so
much for the Wonderful feedback Spikealicious thanks for being such an
incredible beta.
"Yes Buffy do explain," The First said, in the guise of Wood.
"Tell them how you killed me!"
The Scoobies looked at Buffy with shock.
"Buffy is this true?" Giles asked.
Buffy looked down in shame.
"Guess I'm not the only slayer with blood on her hands," Faith said.
"Faith that is so not funny," Buffy said with anger.
"Sorry B, just trying to lighten the mood," Faith said.
"She was saving me!" Spike exclaimed.
"Why would Principal Wood want you dead Spike?" Dawn asked.
"Yes, the slayer killed me to save this vampire. The same vampire who killed my mother!" The First said.
"Well I think that answers your question," Xander said sarcastically.
"Your mother was Nikki Wood?" Giles said, with the realization of who Wood really was.
Who is Nikki Wood? Willow asked.
"She was the only slayer to ever have a child and the second longest living one," Giles replied.
"This isn't Wood. It's a waste of time to listen to anything it says," Buffy yelled.
"Wood was going to kill Spike and me, it was self defense." Then turning to face The First, Buffy said, "Now WE need to talk and YOU need to leave!" It just smiled and disappeared.
"Willow, how do you know that Faith has a soul?" Giles asked.
"Well she can't kill without feeling guilty and she saved me from Angelus. So I would say that she is one of the good guys," Willow answered.
So why is Billy Idol here? I thought he was one of the bad guys? Faith asked.
"Hey I have a name! It's Spike and Billy Idol stole my look, I'll have you know!" Spike said.
"That makes sense you being so much older," Faith said, then looked at him closely, adding, "I know who you are, we met before."
Spike looked at her with confusion.
"Spike has a soul" Buffy said looking at Faith.
"Oh so you're like Angel? You cursed too?" she asked.
"No, I won my soul and it's permanent. I am nothing like peaches, he's bloody boring!" Spike answered.
"Really? We need to look into Angel getting one of those!" Cordelia exclaimed.
Connor looked at her with confusion. She must be under some kind of thrall when The First is around, he thought.
"Look we can talk about all this later. We need to discuss how we are going to defeat The First, "Buffy said, looking at the group.
"So, Buffy what did you find out?" Giles asked.
"Well it's really complicated," she said.
"We need to do a blood ritual with Buffy, the bit, me and the boy," Spike said looking at Connor.
"Maybe not so complicated," Buffy said. Looking at Giles, she added, "When I died instead of Dawn, it upset the balance between Good and Evil, and then, bringing me back, Connor being born, and Spike getting a soul gave The First the opening it needed to try and end the slayer line. The world could now be overrun by vampires," Buffy explained.
"We have to go to the seal and do the ritual, in order for The First to once again become dormant," Spike added.
Well let's go do the ritual!" Giles said.
"Yeah, we need to before we run out of time," Buffy added.
"Well, I would say you should really get going Buff," Angelus said, appearing from the kitchen.
"Don't listen to him he is just trying to stall us," Faith exclaimed.
"Here I thought you being a vampire would make you evil," Angelus said sarcastically.
"Yeah, well I still have a soul," Faith said.
"We need to get going," Spike said heading for the door with the other scoobies following.
"Yeah, you guys go we'll handle this Angelus," Faith said, looking at the rest of the gang.
Willow, Spike, Buffy, Connor, and Dawn ran out the door.
"I don't have time for you Faith," Angelus said, kicking her in the stomach. She recovered quickly and punched him in the face.
"Amy, I know a Spell that will freeze Angelus," Giles exclaimed.
"Cordelia, help Angelus," The First said in Cordy's head.
Cordy, out of the blue, started attacking Faith. Angelus ran for the door, but suddenly couldn't move.
"Cordy what are you doing?" Xander yelled, trying to get up but Anya pushed him back on the couch.
"You're already hurt enough," Anya said, with concern in her voice.
"Damn witch!" Angelus sneered.
"Amy! Hurry and freeze Cordelia too," Giles said.
Faith and Cordy were trading blows. Neither was getting the upper hand.
"Dang Cordy when did you get so strong?" Faith asked, hitting her in the face.
Cordelia didn't answer, with a blank expression on her face, she only concentrated on hitting Faith back. Suddenly, like Angelus she was frozen in mid air.
"They know and are going to stop us!" The Beast said to The First.
"Don't worry, they are going to be too late. By the time the slayer and her friends get here the end will have already begun," The First said, in the guise of Buffy standing at the seal.
A/N So what do you think will happen next? Review Please! There are some surprises coming that I don't think any of you see coming.
