Xander grabs one of branches of the tree and swings his feet against the window breaking it. He lands inside Buffy's room. Buffy immediately looks up from her bed and sees Xander.
"You're suppose to be dead!" says Liam carrying a knife in his hand.
"Takes a lot more to kill me," says Xander. "Although this sounds kind of cliche, but I don't care." Buffy stares at Xander and her eyes begin to fill with tears.
"Well, that means that I'll have to kill you," says Liam as he position the knife in an attack position. Xander looks around the room for some kind of weapon. Liam charges Xander with knife in hand. Xander quickly grabs one of the pillows from the bed. He puts it in front of him and it shields him.
"Boy that was close," says Xander as he looks at Buffy who was terrified. Liam pulls the knife out and gets really angry.
Xander charges Liam and pushes him against the door. He fights Liam for the knife. Then Liam pushes Xander and they struggle all the way to the window. Laim pushes him trying to toss him out of the window.
"Times is up lover boy," says Liam as Xander looks at the knife getting closer to his face.

Outside of the palace the three thieves strategize a way to get inside. Faith gives a smile and tells her fellow men her plan.
Faith walks over to the guards. She gives them a smile and turns around shaking her hips left and right. The guards look at her then at each other.
"Boys," calls Faith as she turns her head around and with her finger signals them to follow her. The guards run over to where she is heading into some bushes.
A couple moments later William and Oz come out of the bushes in the guard's uniforms. Faith comes behind them with something in her hand.
"Hmm, nice boxer's," says Faith as she shows the guys a very colorful pair of boxer's and walks with the William and Oz into the palace.
"Hey, you guys this is going to be easy," says Oz as they enter the throne room.
"Thieves! In my palace," Cordelia says sitting in one of the thrones. She gets up and looks at them. "I don't think so. Guards!"
All of a sudden the throne room was filled with guards. Faith and William glare at Oz and he shrugs as they take out their weapons to fight.
"You had open your big mouth didn't you," says Faith to Oz.
"Look you two will you stop fighting with each and start fighting these guards!"
"Who died and made you leader?" ask Faith putting her hands on her hips.
"I'm wearing thin here Faith. Don't start with me." The three then begin to fight the guards.

Meanwhile in town, the former King paces back and forth in a one of towns peoples homes. Jenny, one of his servants goes to his side and grabs his hand.
"Everything is going wrong," says Giles.
"Rupert, don't give up hope. Things can be changed," says Jenny. Giles nods his head.
"No, there's nothing I can do," says Giles as he stands up and looks out a window towards the palace. "It's all legal. Everything that Liam did."
"Rupert you are a king. Start acting like one." He turns to Jenny. "He may have taken over but you can take it back. He probably forced Buffy into marrying him and maybe even lied to her about something."
"You right Jenny. Liam would stoop that low to get what he wants," says Giles feeling a little more confident. "I have to save my Kingdom and Buffy."
"That's the Rupert I know and love," says Jenny.
"We need a plan first," says Giles as he quickly grabs a chalk and paper.
"Sir," says one of the women from the home. "May I ask what was the reason for you to marry the young princess, your niece?" Giles turns to her.
"I could not find her a suitable suitor for her to marry. And it was her choice." Giles goes up to her. "She understood that I would never want Liam to take over and so to return the Kingdom to me she chose to marry me."
"If you have gotten married would you have..." Jenny is interrupted by Giles.
"Jenny," says Giles laughing a little. "I would never. She's my niece even if she were my wife for a time being. The marriage was to keep the Kingdom in the family."
"I see," says Jenny. "Why don't we stop talking and start planning."
"Yes, good idea," says Giles with a smile.

Back inside the palace Liam was about to push Xander out the window when out of the blue a vase crashes on top of Liam's head knocking him out.
"Buffy," says Xander as he sees her breathing rapidly. His eyes look at Liam then return to Xander.
"You're alive," says Buffy. Tears begin to drip from her eyes. "He said...I'm so..." She bows her head and puts her hands over her face. Xander goes over to Buffy and hugs her.
"I'm so sorry Xander." She looks at him straight in the eyes. "I don't deserve you. I..." Xander puts his finger on top of her lips. He clears her tears from her cheek and lifts her chin up. Buffy closes her eyes and Xander kisses her forehead.
"True love never dies," says Xander. Buffy cups his face with her hands and they kiss.
While that was happening a couple guards pass by. They notice the stranger, Xander, with the princess. They enter the room with weapons.
"Step away from the princess." The guard threatens Xander with his big pointy sword. Xander steps away from Buffy. He quickly grabs Liam's knife and throws it at the guards. It went in-between them and lands on the doorframe. The guards freak and run away.
"See that always works." Buffy smiles at Xander and goes over to him and hugs him. "Lets get out of here." Xander grabs her hand and they exit the room. The two ran into Willow and Tara. They look at Buffy then at Xander.
"He's alive?" says Willow. "How, what, huh?" Xander and Buffy laugh at Willow's reaction to Xander being alive.
"It's a long story," says Xander.
"Where is Liam?" ask Tara. "I saw him with a knife entering your room Buffy."
"Don't worry," says Xander giving Tara a reassuring smile. "I took care of him."
"Yeah, but what about the big fight going on downstairs in the throne room?" says Willow. Buffy and Xander look at each other then head towards the stairs. Tara and Willow follow the two.
In Buffy's room Laim gets up with a big head ache. He finds some blood on his head and looks around. Liam is furious and heads to the door grabbing his knife from the doorframe. From downstairs he could hear a battle going on and he heads toward it.

In the throne room the three thieves are having a ball kicking the guards in every place that it would hurt. Faith knows many and uses them to her advantage. She is the first one to Xander and Buffy coming down the stairs.
"Hey, Xander come and join the fun," says Faith as she hits one of the guards in the gut.
"Watch out Faith," says Buffy as she sees Cordelia kick her without her noticing. Faith falls down and Cordelia glares at Buffy.
"Stay here," says Xander to the three girls. Xander heads into the fight.
From the stairs enters Liam whose eyes meet with William. William pushes one the guards away from him and walks over to the stairs.
"Buffy run," says William as he throws his sword to Laim and it is two inches away from his head. The three girls run away from Liam. William comes over and stands in front of them.
"My name is William Montello. You killed my father. Prepare to die." William pulls the sword from the wall quickly and points it at Liam. Liam then pulls himself up one step then throws his knife at William. It pierces him on the arm and goes flying across the room into one of the guards.
"Dame it!" says Liam. William looks at the guard fall to ground dead then returns to Liam run off. He begins to run after him.
"William," calls Buffy. He turns to the princess. "Be careful." He nods his head runs after Liam. (There's that chase scene music.)
Liam runs like a mad man pushing things on the ground to block William's path. Nothing stopped William. He will avenge his father's death.
"My name is William Montello. You killed my father. Prepare to die." He keeps repeating this as he follows Liam through the palace.
"Will you stop saying that," says Liam. "You as crazy as your dad was." William lifts his sword up and aims it at Liam.
"I'm going to finish what my father started," says William. Liam goes over to a wall where a sword hung up. He grabs it and turns to William. The two begin to fight. Swords clinging loudly and they echo through the hallway.
Liam got one good plunge into William's side. He smiles at his success to weaken his opponent. William badly wounded still keeps up the fight breathing heavily as he holds his wound. He is cornered and William's sword drops down allowing Liam to point his sword two inches away from his neck. William sneers at Liam then at the sword.
"Now I get to gut you like I did your father," says Liam.
"Do it quick," says William still in pain from his wound on his side. He closes his eyes then hears a crash. It sounded like a vase of some sort and then a thump. Also a sword fall to the ground. William opens his eyes and in a blur he sees someone. "Am I dead? Are you an angel?" William feels a soft hand on his face and he touches it. His sight begins to get clearer and the person in front of him is revealed.
Xander grabs one of branches of the tree and swings his feet against the window breaking it. He lands inside Buffy's room. Buffy immediately looks up from her bed and sees Xander.
