I do not own the characters of Oz, Angel, Buffy, Dawn, Faith, Giles or Willow.

Chapter 2~

"A what?" Lola asked, but Oz wasn't listening.
"Oh no, it can't." This was the first time Lola had seen anything remotely close to Oz showing his feelings. He ran upstairs as fast as he could. Lola and the rest were left wondering.
Oz flipped through the phone book, and tapped the buttons on the phone. On the other line, the machine picked up.
"Hi, this is Buffy, Dawn and Willow's"- he winced at her name-"we can't come to the phone ri"- the phone cut off. It was dead. Oz's eyes widened. He tapped the buttons again. "Hello, Wolfram and Hart. How may I direct your call?"
"What? I need to speak to Angel."
"Do you have an appointment with Mr. Angel?"
"This is an emergency!"
"Alright," she sounded slightly annoyed. Relaxing music played, but it didn't soothe Oz.
"Hello?" a male voice said.
"Angel! Buffy or Faith. are they dead?" Angel was taken back a bit.
"Oz?"
"Are they?"
"Not yet, I saw Buffy just yesterday. But Giles told me the plan. They made all potential slayers into Slayers. But I believe in Buffy. They'll be fine."
"Okay, 'cause I think I got a Slayer on my hands."
"Are you going to fill her in?"
"Yeah."
"Well, see you Oz."
"Later." Oz could breathe a sigh of relief. Buffy was fine, a Willow was probably the same. Lola peeked around the corner and looked at him. Oz smelled her.
"Lola?" She was twisting her hair like she always did when she was nervous.
"What is it?" Her eyes were big.
"It's true, you're a Slayer now." She sat down at the kitchen table.
"Again, a what?" Lola looked at him. Oz had never mentioned anything about his past.
"I grew up on a Hellmouth in a town called Sunnydale, it's like demon- Woodstock, just all-year-'round. The Slayer, Buffy Summers, moved there. She fought the demons and vampires. Now you're to do the same, just here."
"Sunnydale?" Glenn asked. He turned on the miniature television in the kitchen. There was a picture of a crater.
"This is all that is left of the town of Sunnydale. Many people believe an asteroid hit it. The town has been completely demolished. Rescuers were surprised to find the town abandoned. There were no casualties caused by the asteroid, though a few were found with severe stab wounds," a tinny voice said. They could hear Oz sigh. He was relieved to hear his old high school friends were still alive.
"So what do I do exactly?" Lola asked.
"Kill vampires and demons. To kill vampires, stake to the heart. Demons, usually slice and dice."
"Okay," she said slowly, " 'cept for the fact I can't fight."
"Well, I'm not going to send you out right away. I can't teach you much. Come on, Lola, we're going back out."
Lola followed Oz's lean figure out the door. He was holding a fire ax.
The pair found themselves at the edge of the jungle. Oz started chopping at branches. He cut down five and tossed them to Lola. She fell under their weight.
"What are these?" Lola asked.
"Stakes," he said. A pair of glowing yellow eyes peered at them walking away.

The next night, Carmen, Glenn, Millard and Lance were locked in their cages. They all drank their herbal potions and did the chants. Oz and Lola whistled as she carved her stakes. Between her and Oz, they covered the cement floor with wood shavings. The room smelled like wood, and Lola was now quite fond of the smell. There was a pile of about twenty stakes already. Lola put down her stake and carving knife. She could feel her eyelids growing heavier and heavier until she finally fell asleep.

A blonde girl, Lola's age, maybe younger is being forced into water. The ugly THING let go and let her float. It walks away. Later, a dark-haired boy gives her mouth-to-mouth while a handsome man watches. Suddenly, she's at the top of a building and the girl pushes the monster into the glass top, and it lands on broken wood. All that's left is a skeleton. FLASH. The blonde girl is sword fighting with the handsome man from the last vision. A light goes off in his eyes and his mouth moves. Lola can't hear anything. The girl kisses him and jams a sword through his gut. FLASH. She jumps through a window and an explosion goes off, killing the giant serpent inside. She watches as the handsome man disappears into the night. FLASH. The girl has a strange light in her eyes. There's a monster made up of many demons, machine and man. Lola gets the feeling that there's more people there, but there aren't. The girl's hand goes through the monster's chest and grabs hold of a glowing bar with demon guts hanging off of it. FLASH. The girl jumps off a high tower, into a glowing blue light. A young girl is crying. A group of people gather around the girl's body. She's dead. FLASH. The blonde is fighting root monsters in a dark, hole in the ground. The young girl from the last vision is fighting as well. The monsters disappear. FLASH. The girl, now a woman is fighting with an army of young girls, killing an army of deadly monsters. She's stabbed from behind, and she falls. Her twin looks down on her and taunts the woman. But she gets up to fight again. She's chasing after a bus. She throws herself onto the top. And it stops. They all look out at a giant crater.

Lola's eyes opened rather suddenly. It was daylight, and Oz was beside her. A blanket was wrapped around her.
"Is that what I'm up against?"
