Disclaimer: I don't own blah blah blah
Okay, here's some information I forgot to include in the first chapter:
Animorphs timeline: Somewhere in the middle, after Tobias gets back his powers, before they meet the other Andalites, after their trip to the Yoort home world, so maybe 28 or so.
Buffy Timeline: Somewhere in season 5. Dawn is here but Glory has not yet showed up.
Pairings: haven't decided yet
Thanks for the reviews! I appreciate the support. And don't worry Joshua the Evil Guy, it was never my intention to make Buffy or any of the Scoobies a Controller.
Chapter 2
"So what's a slayer?" Marco asked, lounging on a rock.
Jake shrugged. "I dunno. Never heard of it."
"A slayer is a chosen one, one girl in all the world with the strength and skill to fight the vampires, and hold back the forces of darkness." Rachel quoted.
The group, even Ax, stared at her. She sighed. "When I was 13, a guy came up to me, told me he was my watcher, or something like that. He said I was a potential, that I could be called as the slayer at anytime, and it was his duty to train me. I figured he was nuts, and crossed the street to get away. He followed, but a car hit him. He died on his way to the hospital. I guess he wasn't nuts."
"So you could have been the slayer." Marco said wryly. "Well that explains a lot."
"So what does that mean for us?" Cassie asked. "If she's still doing it, she's probably not a Controller. If she were we would have fought her by now. But at the same time, she's got her own battles to fight. We should probably try not to involve her."
{I guess that depends on your definition of forces of darkness.} Tobias added.
"You're not thinking of any kind of recruitment, are you?" Marco asked suspiciously, "Because I think we all remember what happened with David. Remember how he went all, what's the word I'm looking for, INSANE?!"
"That was different." Jake argued. "The slayer is already battle hardened."
"Yeah, against vampires. How do you think she'll deal with having to save the world?" Marco pointed out.
{I can watch her.} Tobias said. {See how she handles herself for the next few days. See if anyone she knows is a Controller.}
"You sure?" Rachel asked, worried.
Tobias mentally sighed. {Look, I don't know about you guys, but I'm tired. I'm tired of winning minor battles, slowing but not stopping the invasion. I'm tired of fighting, of losing. I'm tired of listening to Visser Three proclaim our fate, and most of all I'm just tired. I'm beat, bagged. I need a break, and this will be just it. And just think, if we could recruit a few more allies, maybe we could do more than just slow them down. Maybe we could do some real damage. It's summer, you guys just go home and actually take a couple days off while Ax and I scope this out, then we'll decide what to do from there.}
Jake nodded. "Okay, you two do it. The rest of us will just relax."
Rachel smiled. "Sweet, I'm hitting the mall."
"Yeah, okay." Marco conceded, then he shrugged. "Maybe I'm overreacting anyway, I mean Sunnydale is a small town, what are the odds the Yeerks have even set foot there?"

"Hey Giles what does it mean when you see a flock of owls?" Buffy asked.
"Umm, a flock of what?" Giles asked, taking off his glasses and rubbing them.
"You know, owls. Birds that fly at night, and eat mice and go, 'hoot hoot'?"
"Yes I'm aware of what an owl is but I've never heard of them as a flock." Giles retorted. "I can't think of any significance though."
Buffy shrugged. "Okay, I just wanted to check. Anyway, I'm gonna go for a patrol. Let me know if you find anything." Buffy grabbed her coat and headed out of Giles house where they had been researching an obscure demon type that Riley had seen for the last two hours. She stuffed her hands into her pocket, one of which contained her stake, then tried her best to look helpless as she wandered the streets looking for her prey.
~~~~~~~
Tobias and Ax were floating several hundred feet up, watching Buffy with their huge owl eyes, when they saw a problem. {Ax, is it just me, or is she about to get ambushed by about 15 vampires?}
{No, Tobias. I believe you are correct, she is walking into a trap.} Ax agreed. Buffy was slowly making her way towards the mausoleum in one of cemeteries, unaware that a gang of vampires were about to ambush her from several angles.
{I know she's tough, but I don't think this is a fight she's gonna win. It's been three days. I think we better help her Ax.} Tobias decided.
{But we don't have Price Jake's permission.} Ax countered.
{Fuck it! She's gonna die right here if we don't help her.} As he flew, Tobias slowly melted back into his faster and more comfortable hawk body, losing only a little altitude as the changes took place. {I'm going Hork Bajir. Oddly enough, it will probably look least out of place. You can probably just demorph, Ax. I don't think any of the vampires are Controllers.}
Tobias landed in the cover of a small grove of trees, then began to change again. His feathers melted into his growing body, then vanished altogether into the coarse, leathery skin that now covered him. Blades exploded out of his knees, arms, wrists, and head, and muscles began to bulge over his seven-foot frame. The tips of his wings transformed into deadly looking claws. Tobias hunched low to stay hidden, and waited. Ax had also landed and was shifting back into his natural Andalite form. As soon as Ax was fully alien again, Tobias crept out of the bushes, still trying to stay as covered as a 7 foot bladed alien could.
~~~~~~~
Buff walked in front of the mausoleum, looking around it. Suddenly she sensed vampires. Not surprisingly, three stepped out from the shadows, game faces on. "Well well." One of them crowed. "The slayer, what a surprise to see you."
"Surprise?" Buffy asked. "You must be new here. That or stupid."
The vamps eyes narrowed. "I'm stupid?" Suddenly, vampires were all around here. More than ten, more like fifteen. "Seems you're the one who just walked into a trap. Me an the boys have been talking, we decided we're pretty sick of you running things around here."
Buffy looked at the circle of vamps that surrounded her and swore inwardly. 'Son of a bitch. Well, if I go down, I go down fighting.'
Before any of the vampires could move, the sound of heavy stomping was heard behind them. The vampires turned, only to see a huge, bladed monster rushing them. The monster raised one arm whipped it forward, cleanly slicing off the heads of two vampires in one swipe. "What the hell is that thing?" one of the vamps cried, rushing at it fangs bared. The creature swatted at it with its' bladed wrists, slashing its' stomach and throwing the vamp into a nearby tombstone. As the vampires began to concentrate on the creature, yet another bounded into view. It had the body of a deer, except blue, and a torso similar to a human. It also had a long tail with a wicked looking blade on the end.
FWAAAP! The tail snapped forward faster than Buffy could follow, and the vampire in front of the creature suddenly had no head or arms. The limbless torso turned to dust as it fell.
In a matter of seconds, only three vampires were left, now standing in the center of Buffy and the two creatures. FWAAAP! The blue thing whipped its' tail forward and two of the vamps no longer had heads. The third one vaulted the tombstone it was standing next to and tried to run. Buffy however, suddenly unfroze and pulled the stake from her pocket. She spun it then expertly whipped it at the vamp, catching it through the heart in mid stride.
Buffy turned to look at her odd saviors. "Umm, thanks." She said. "I gotta say I've never been saved by demons before."
The blue creature smiled, quite a feat considering he had no mouth. {We are not demons.} A voice said in Buffy's head.
The other, bladed creature studied her. {You will hear from us soon.} A second head voice said.
"Why?" Buffy asked, trying to ignore the fact that neither creature had actually spoken a word. Buffy was confused, they looked like demons, but they weren't setting off her slayer sense, and they did save her.
{We need you help. We will tell you more when we contact you next.} The second voice said.
Buffy shrugged. For some reason she instinctively knew she could trust them, they just didn't feel evil.
{One more thing.} What Buffy had determined was the tall bladed one was.
"What?"
{Tell no one of this. Not your family, not your friends, no one. You must keep this secret, our lives depend on it. Do you understand?}
Buffy nodded, and the two creatures walked into the shadows, leaving behind a very confused Slayer.
