Night. Gravesite.
Willow, Tara, Xander, Anya, Dawn, Giles, Spike, Angel, Cordelia, Fred, Gunn, Faith, Wesley, Connor, Riley, and his wife are there to pay their respects. They had already had a funeral after Buffy had died, but not all of them had been able to attend before. They were now all there to pay their respects.
"You were my sister, my best friend." said Dawn.
"She was a friend to all of us when we really needed it. She was even my girlfriend at one point." said Angel.
"She was my girlfriend, too." said Riley.
"And mine." said Spike.
"You were her boyfriend !" said Angel, starting to get angry.
"Whoa. Settle down. Angel, I presume Cordelia is your girlfriend." said Spike.
"We broke up, Spike. I'm with Connor now." said Cordelia.
"With his son. Oh, that's real smart." said Spike.
Cordelia glares at him and he backs off, walking away. She clutches her stomach.
"What's wrong?" asked Connor, running up to her.
"My baby." said Cordelia.
Everyone's eyes widen in shock.
"Your pregnant." said Fred.
"With Connor's child." said Cordelia.
Demons shimmer in. The group fights, and is split up. Wesley and Giles. Anya and Xander. Willow, Dawn, and Tara. Angel and Faith. Connor and Cordelia. Fred and Gunn. Riley and his wife. Soon half of the demons are beaten by crossbows, and punches. The other demons retreat.
"You guys go. I'm taking over for Buffy. Someone needs to take care of this town and make sure the people here are safe." said Faith.
"All right. Be careful, you guys." said Angel.
"We will." said Faith.
Angel Investigations gets into their cars, and drives towards LA. The Sunnydale gang heads to the Magic Shop.
Magic Shop.
"Dawn is 16. With her parents, and Buffy dead, who's going to be her legal guardian." said Willow.
"I am. I took it up with Mrs. Summers, in case she and Buffy both were killed. I'm your legal guardian. And if you want, you can stay at your house. I'll just have to live in the guest room at your house, and keep my house open, as well." said Giles.
"Thanks, Giles. I don't think I could leave the memories of my mom, and Buffy behind." said Dawn.
"Now, everyone go home, and get some sleep. Willow, Tara, and Anya will probably be involved in this." said Giles.
The group goes home, to get some sleep.
The next day, Giles and Willow train Faith who is still a little rusty from her time in prison.
2 years later. Magic Shop. Giles, Anya, Xander, and Dawn head home while Faith, Willow, and Tara go on patrol.
Woods. They begin patrolling. Suddenly, the demons that attacked them at Buffy's funeral show up, with many more numbers.
"You know. I think they're multiplying." said Tara.
The demons suddenly divide, and their population continues to grow.
"This isn't good." said Tara.
"Well, then we'll have to take them all out." said Faith.
Faith fires her crossbow, while Tara and Willow shoot magic at the demons. When Faith runs out of arrows she fights the demons barehanded Giles, Anya, and Xander arrive to help, and they begin to win, slowly they defeat all the divided demons, by shattering the necklaces around the demons neck, which kills the copies, leaving about 35 demons left. 5 demons for each individual of the group.
Faith and Giles soon have two demons killed in a flash. Anya and Xander are having trouble, while Tara and Willow kill six with a magic spell. The two witches take crossbows from Giles, and begin firing arrows at the remaining demons. Soon there are only six demons fighting Xander and Anya. Willow, Tara, Faith, and Giles make it over to them and each fight a demon. Soon the group finally destroys the remaining six demons.
"They took a long time to plan their revenge." said Faith.
"Someone else was behind this. I don't know who yet." said Giles.
"Please tell me that there is another god out there trying to return to some other dimension." said Xander.
"Not likely. Glory was original, and probably one of the last gods still alive." said Giles.
A swirl of blue orbs forms into a woman, with long, black hair, wearing a black tanktop, and black jeans.
"Who are you?" asked Willow.
"I'm your whitelighter. The two of you are witches, and most witches have gotten their whitelighters. You're some of the last ones, who are alive, right now, anyways." said woman.
"What's your name?" asked Willow.
"Prue. Prue Halliwell." said Prue.
Magic Shop. The next morning.
Xander, Anya, Giles, Faith, Dawn, Willow, and Tara sit in the magic shop as Prue orbs in.
"We need some answers." said Xander.
"I can't give you those. All I can tell you is whitelighters are good witches, or humans who have died, and they are given a chance to be whitelighters to help other witches and humans from getting killed by demons. I was a witch. I've lost my power of astral projection, but I still have the power of telekinesis." said Prue.
Prue uses her telekinesis to make a cup come out of a cupboard, fill itself with water, and float over to Prue.
"My powers have gotten stronger." said Prue.
"So, you were just some mediocre witch, with the power of telekinesis, who was killed. Well, we lost a friend too. And I don't think I believe you. You could be working with that new evil, trying to gain our trust." said Xander.
Xander walks up to leave.
"You think you have it bad? I have two sisters and a brother-in-law I'm forbidden to see and a long lost half-sister I'll never meet. My bosses forbade me to see them." said Prue.
"Oh, Prue. I'm so sorry." said Willow.
"So am I. I didn't know you had family here." said Xander.
"It sounds like your bosses, are a lot like the Watchers Council." said Faith.
"What powers do you have?" asked Willow.
"Telekinesis, Healing, the ability to find my charges, I can hear my charges when they call my name, and orbing." said Prue.
"What's orbing?" asked Tara.
"Teleporting places in blue lights." said Prue.
Prue demonstrated by orbing out, and orbing in behind Xander, startling him.
"Okay. I believe you." said Xander.
"Prue, who are you charges?" asked Giles.
"Willow and Tara." said Prue.
A jingle is heard.
"Well, I stand corrected. All of you are my charges, except Anya, who can take care of herself. I can't heal evil." said Prue.
"It's okay. I'm used to it." said Anya.
Prue smiles and flashes back.
Manor. Prue, Piper, and the doctor walk in.
"Phoebe?" asked Prue.
Shax arrives, hurtling Prue and Piper into the wall, and killing the doctor. She watches helplessly as Leo and Phoebe orb in. They heal Piper, and Prue feels herself drifting away. She watches as Leo comforts Phoebe and Piper, for losing Prue.
Heaven. Prue wakes up.
"I've got to go back to them. They need me." said Prue.
"No. They don't. They have a half-sister, Paige Matthews, who's taken your place." said Patty.
"You cheated on dad, with your whitelighter." said Prue.
"Yes." said Patty.
"No wonder he left us." said Prue.
"Prue, wait." said Patty.
"Don't worry. I forgive you. Hopefully Piper and Phoebe will be able to accept Paige, and protect themselves from Cole, and the other demons. I still don't trust Cole, and I don't know why." said Prue.
"Prue?" asked Willow's voice pulling Prue out of her memories.
"Sorry. Just thinking about my life before..." Prue trailed off.
"It's okay. I don't think anyone could go what you went through. Dying, and then have the chance to be somewhat alive, but not be able to see your family. That's not fair." said Willow.
"Yeah, well they are the supreme good, except they do have a boss above them, but I don't know him." said Prue.
"Don't give up. Maybe there is a way for you to see them, someday." said Willow.
"Thanks for trying to cheer me up. I wish I had been here earlier to help Buffy." said Prue.
"Buffy didn't just die, her body went with her." said Willow.
"Then she could still be alive, but in another dimension." said Prue.
"I never thought of that. Oh, no. She could be in Glory's dimension. She could be seriously hurt." said Willow.
In the future. Voyager.
Angel, Buffy, Kim, and Tommy have finally settled in, although their do miss their friends and families. Kim moved to sickbay, while Angel moved in with Buffy.
Mess hall.
Angel and Buffy are eating at a table.
"I know we'll never be able to replace our friends and families we were forced to leave behind. I think it's time we made friends here. I don't know if we are ever going to return home." said Angel.
"I guess you're right. It's just that Dawn is my sister, and with me gone, and my parents dead, she's going to be all alone." said Buffy.
"Isn't Giles her guardian? And aren't the others still there?" asked Angel.
"I guess." said Buffy.
Angel begins to tell Buffy what had happened to the group after Buffy had left.
"So Faith took over and the others helped her keep Sunnydale safe." said Buffy.
Angel nods.
"Anything else happen?" asked Buffy.
"Oh, yeah. There was this girl, named Prue Halliwell. She was everyone's whitelighter." said Angel.
"What's a whitelighter?" asked Buffy.
"A guardian angel for witches and humans." said Angel.
"Then I hope they survived okay." said Buffy.
Tommy and Kim arrive, and join them.
Sunnydale 2003. Willow and Tara recite spells, but nothing works .
"Maybe she really is dead." said Tara.
"No. We would have found a body, or remains of a body." said Willow.
"Unless she disintegrated into nothing." said Anya.
"That could have happened. But why would Glory risk going through the portal, if it could disintegrate her into nothing." said Prue.
"We've got to find Buffy." said Willow.
"Willow. Stop. She's gone, and she's not coming back." said Xander.
"I'm not giving up on her." said Willow.
Willow gathers supplies, and walks into the back room. Tara follows her into the back room.
"She's taking this really hard." said Anya.
"Not as much as Dawn is. I can see it in her eyes. She's trying to hide it, but she isn't as good as hiding her emotions as Buffy." said Prue.
The group looks to see Dawn crying, and go over and comfort her.
"Dawn, it's okay." said Giles.
"How is it okay? I lost my mom and my sister, practically at the same time. I know it's been two years but I still miss her." said Dawn.
"Buffy's not dead. She's not up there. And definitely not in the other place." said Prue.
"Then she could still be alive." said Dawn.
"I think that when she went through, and since Giles killed Glory, the portal could have changed. It could have sent her into the future." said Prue.
Willow and Tara walk out, and hear the last statement.
"Then there is no hope. There's no way to bring her back from the future." said Willow.
"At least she's still alive." said Dawn.
"But we'll never get to see her again." said Tara.
"Prue and Anya will, if they aren't killed before then." said Xander.
"What can kill you, Prue?" asked Willow.
"A darklighter's arrow." said Prue.
A darklighter appears. Prue flings him back, and ducks behind a counter.
"Where's your whitelighter?" asked darklighter.
Willow and Tara recite a spell, which blows up the darklighter.
"Nice touch." said Prue.
"Thanks." said Willow.
"Now, besides demons, and darklighters, there are also warlocks, they are evil. Male witches are just witches who are males." said Prue.
"But I thought male witches were warlocks." said Willow.
"No. Warlocks are evil witches, and witches are good witches." said Prue.
"I think I'm getting it, now." said Willow.
Just then an explosion erupts. The group runs out to see demons running through the streets.
"What are they up to?" asked Dawn.
"They're planning to trash the town." said Faith.
"Let's stop them." said Prue.
They all run back in, and get crossbows, and spells. They all run out, and begin fighting the demons.
"A slayer!" said a demon.
"The more we kill, the more fun we have!" said another demon.
The demon is blown up by a spell from Willow and Tara. Xander and Giles shoot crossbows while Anya throws fireballs. Prue flings some back with her telekinesis while Faith stakes a few demons. They don't notice three guys walking up to them. One guy fires a bullet that hits Dawn, and another fires a bullet to hit Faith, but Tara gets in the path of the bullet, while fighting a demon, and is killed. Willow, goes into a rage, which destroys the demons. Xander, Anya, Giles, Faith, and the injured Dawn are hurled into the magic shop, and the three guys are hurled backwards.
Willow absorbs the magic from all of the books in the library. Her eyes turn black, and she runs out to avenge Tara. The three guys are running away. She fires, turning one to stone, and one to ashes. She walks forward, and kicks the stone statue, crumbling it to pieces. She then fires at the third guy, who is turned into an ice figurine. She then kicks it, crumbling the third guy into ice pieces. Willow returns to the Magic Shop.
Magic Shop. Willow heals Dawn. The group is horrified when they realize she killed the three guys on the street.
"Willow, what did you do?" asked Xander.
"I'm going to rid this world of evil." said Willow.
Willow runs out of the Magic Shop, and vanishes.
Future.
"Angel? What's wrong?" asked Buffy.
"Willow's been turned evil, somehow before she was supposed to. She's headed for LA. Cordelia has a demon child in her. My son, Connor, and I both have a little evil in us." said Angel.
"She'll try to kill the three of you." said Buffy.
"And without you there, we're sunk." said Angel.
"No. Faith, Dawn, Tara, and the others can help." said Buffy.
"Buffy. Tara's dead. That's why she went evil." said Angel.
"Oh, god. I have to get back there, and help Willow." said Buffy.
Q appears in a flash.
"Hello, blondie. Did you say you wanted to return to the past?" asked Q.
"Yes." said Buffy.
"Well, you can only return to when Willow is going to LA. Sorry, but someone invented a time machine to try to make Willow destroy Earth." said Q.
"Who?" asked Buffy.
"I don't know. But we'll find him eventually." said Q.
"How do I get back?" asked Buffy.
"You must give up the memories of Voyager. You can't know about the future, while in the past." said Q.
"But, I made so many good friends here." said Buffy.
"Yes. But, Willow, Dawn, and the rest of your friends in Sunnydale and LA need you." said Angel.
"All right. I'll do it." said Buffy.
"When she returns, you'll be returned to Earth, with no memory of this." said Q.
A portal opens.
"Good luck, Buffy." said Angel.
Buffy walks through the portal, and vanishes.
"What about us?" asked Kim.
"Oh, I'm afraid you're stuck here." said Q, vanishing in white lights.
Angel fades away.
Sunnydale. 2003.
Willow is at the outskirts of Sunnydale. Xander, Anya, Dawn, Faith, Giles, and Prue arrive to stop Willow.
"Willow, stop. Angel and Connor are good, now." said Xander.
"All evil must be destroyed if we are to have any peace." said Willow.
A portal opens, and Buffy walks out of it, and it closes behind her.
"Buffy?" asked Dawn.
Willow turns around to see Buffy.
"Willow, please stop this. This isn't what Tara would want you to do." said Buffy.
"Buffy's right. Tara wants you to find peace." said Prue.
"I don't know how." said Willow.
"Trust us. We're your friends." said Dawn.
"Yes. We're your friends." said Xander.
Willow's eyes turn to normal.
"Xander?" asked Willow,.
"Willow? What's wrong?" asked Xander.
"I can't control it. The dark magic is too strong." said Willow.
Willow's eyes turn back to black, and she vanishes in black lights.
"I'm Buffy Summers, vampire slayer." said Buffy.
"I'm Prue Halliwell, a whitelighter." said Prue.
"And a former Charmed One, but I can't let them know, or Piper, Phoebe, and Paige could find out, and the Elders would trap me back in heaven again." thought Prue.
"Let's go. We have to get to LA." said Buffy.
Anya, Giles, Xander, Prue, Buffy, Dawn, and Faith hold hands, and orb out.
LA. Angel Investigations.
Angel, Fred, Gunn, Faith, Wesley, and Connor are making Cordelia feel comfortable. Lauren walks in.
"I'm sorry I missed Buffy's funeral, but someone had to keep this place running." said Lauren.
"So, anything gone wrong here?" asked Angel.
A black flash forms into Willow.
"Not until now." said Lauren.
Swirls of blue lights form into Anya, Giles, Xander, Prue, Buffy, Dawn, and Faith.
"Buffy, you're alive." said Angel.
"No time to explain. Willow's gone bad, because Tara was killed." said Buffy.
"We almost got through to her, but the dark magic took over again." said Xander.
No one notices Cordelia.
"Her dark magic is almost as powerful as mine. I can't let her stay this powerful." whispered Cordelia.
Cordelia fires a beam of blue light at the wall, which bounces off, and hits Willow. It removes Willow's dark powers, returning her to normal. She collapses to the ground, and passes out. Prue runs over to her, and heals her. Willow wakes up, and looks around. She bursts into tears as Buffy hugs her.
"We have to go." said Buffy.
"I'm staying. They're going to need a slayer here, especially to help protect Cordelia and her baby." said Faith.
"Be careful." said Buffy.
Buffy hugs everyone, as they welcome her back. Prue, Buffy, Dawn, and the Scooby Gang join hands, and orb out. LA gang goes up to their rooms to get some sleep.
Sunnydale.
The group orbs into the Magic Shop, and they all comfort Willow.
"How could I do that?" asked Willow.
Prue recites the spell to summon the dead. The ghostly form of Tara appears.
"Tara?" asked Willow.
"Yes. Be happy. Enjoy yourself. I'm going to be fine. I don't want to see you up here for a long time. Promise you'll try to have fun, after you grieve, which I know may take awhile." said Tara.
"I promise." said Willow.
"We won't let her shut herself up in her house. We'll take care of her." said Buffy.
"I hope you will." said Tara, vanishing in white lights.
"I've got to go. Call me when you need me." said Prue, orbing out in blue lights.
"Buffy?" asked Willow.
"Yes." said Buffy.
"What's wrong?" asked Willow.
"I know I was in the future, but I had to give up my memories to come back. All I know is someone used a time machine to make you evil, faster than you should have. There were trying to make you do something." said Buffy.
Buffy flashes back to Voyager.
"Buffy. Cordelia has a demon child in her, and Connor and I have a little evil in us." said Angel.
End of flashback.
"Buffy?" asked Willow.
"Cordelia's child is a demon. That means Angel or Connor is the father." said Buffy.
"Connor is the father." said Giles.
"Then we have to find out who would want to kill Cordelia." said Buffy.
LA.
There is a spaceship. A man wearing a green Starfleet uniform, is trying to fix the systems. A voice comes over the intercom.
"Captain Braxton. You must return to the twenty four century." said voice.
"I won't. Not until I complete my mission." said Braxton.
"What is that?" asked voice.
"To kill the ancestors of the Voyager crew." said Braxton, ending the transmission.
"Willow failed me, but if I can get to Angel Grove, CA, then I can destroy Voyager's ancestors, leaving Janeway, but I'll find her ancestor soon enough." said Braxton.
Braxton begins to fix the ship.
