Buffy quickly changed into her workout clothes and came back into the room. "So, who's first?" Buffy said with a big smile on her face.

"I'll go," Youji volunteered.

"Sure, your lose of limbs," said Buffy. Youji got up and he and Buffy stood across each other in a fighting stance.

"Buffy, go easy on him. Remember that he is human," Giles warned her.

Youji and Buffy started sparring. He delivered every kick and punch he knew. Buffy blocked all of them. She kicked him and he stumbled back a few feet. Buffy helped him up and asked them what Schwarz was.

"Schwarz is our enemy. We haven't been able to defeat them, they are really strong," Omi said.

"Why is it so hard to defeat them?" asked Willow

"They have supernatural powers," Ken explained.

"They asked me to join them but I said no," Buffy said.

"What kind of powers do they have exactly?" Giles asked Weiss.

"Oracle can see the future. Mastermind is a telepath. Prodigy is a telekinetic and berserk is just plain psycho," Youji said.

"Are they that much of a threat?" Giles asked.

"Everyone, can we do this later? Because I have to leave," Buffy said. Weiss nodded their heads in agreement. "Can you all come to my house at maybe five or something? Talk about this a bit more Ok," Buffy said and walked out of the room. Weiss stood up and walked out of the door also.

"All right then, I guess we will see you all soon," Giles said.

Shuldig and Crawford got back to their apartment in Downtown Sunnydale. "How did things go?" Nagi asked them.

"She won't join our group," Crawford plainly stated

"So what now? We get rid of her, right Crawford," Nagi asked.

" I will contact Estet. They will tell us what we will do next." Crawford answered.

"I'm going out." Shuldig said and started walking towards the door.

"Where?" Crawford said cruelly.

"To a club," Shuldig said plainly.

"It's 4:30 in the afternoon," Nagi said.

"I know," Shuldig said with a secretive smile and walked out of the door.

"Nagi, did you find out anything from her sister?"

"There mother is away for a month, good time to strike," Nagi said.

"We will have to kill her I'm sure. We told her who we are and who we work for" Crawford said. "Nagi, get on the computer and hack into the police files."

Weiss arrived at Buffy's house five o'clock on the dot. Aya rang the doorbell. The door was opened by a dark haired teen. "Hi," Dawn said cheerfully. "You must be those people that Buffy was talking about," Dawn led them to the living room and told them to take a seat. "By the way, I'm Buffy's sister Dawn." When Dawn finished Buffy walked into the room with Giles and Spike.

"Dawn you could go now," Buffy said with a stern look on her face.

"Come on Buffy, let me stay," Dawn pleaded.

"This is Scooby business, now go upstairs."

"But I-"

"Please Dawn, go," Buffy said. Her voice going tight in her throat.

"Fine," Dawn sighed and went up the stairs. The whole exchange reminded Aya of his sister lying in a coma. He hoped that she would wake up soon.

"Alright. Can you tell us more about these Schwarz fellows?" Giles said.

"They are an assassin team who possesses supernatural powers," Aya calmly said. "There are four of them. You know the rest."

"So these people want the Slayer to join their little group." Spike stated the obvious.

"How big a threat are they?" The blond Slayer asked. "Big," Youji replied.

"I can't kill them, or can I Giles?" Buffy said and looked at her ex-watcher.

"I don't suppose you can," Giles said.

"Excuse me, but can I use your phone. We need to call Manx and clear all this up and receive new orders."

"In the kitchen," Buffy pointed.

"Thank you Ms. Summers," Omi said.

"Call me Buffy," Buffy shouted at him as he left to use the phone.

While Omi went to call Manx, the rest of the group went on talking about their new enemy. "Will they cause trouble," Giles asked.

"Yeah, they might kill some people just for the heck of it." Youji supplied.

"So what, we kill them. End of story," Spike put in

"Killing them is not easy, we tried,"Aya said.

"There has to be a way," Giles said.

"Yeah, but what?" Buffy said unhappily. She was already busy enough. A new enemy is the last thing she needed at the moment. "But they are still human. It would be easy to take them out physically right?" Buffy finished.

Omi walked into the room a few minutes earlier to hear the last of their discussion. "What did Manx say," Aya asked Omi. Omi waked to the middle of the room, all eyes on him.

"She said that the mission to kill Buffy is off. I explained to her the situation and she said that our new mission is to protect Buffy Summers and her friends from Schwarz. She said we are to keep watch on you 24/7, especially at night." Omi finished.

"So I guess you're staying here tonight," Buffy announced. "I'll show you were you can sleep Ok," Buffy finished. The Weiss members nodded their heads and followed Buffy. "Will one of you come on patrol with me?" Buffy asked.

"I'll go," Youji said.
