Smallville. 1989

An old Mansion

Donna Falcon, the Vampire Slayer, dodged the powerful blow of the century-old vampiress and used the thrust gained to stake her in the heart. She was trying to locate the whereabouts of the other vampire, when the cry of the student that she had come to rescue reached her ears. She ran to the other room of the basement and there she found the vampire that she was hunting, Virgil Rawlings, former science professor of the Smallville High holding her former pupil Tina Maxwell by the neck.

" Don't dare to move further, Slayer, or the bitch dies! " said the vampire.

Donna froze where she was, less than a yard from the vampire.

" Tina, Tina, Tina. You know that all of this is your fault, do you?. If you hadn't rejected my propositions, I wouldn't have met Louise, and none of this would have happened. But the Slayer has already killed Louise, and we can be together until the end of ... "

Then the ground shook violently and Rawlings lost his hold on the teen. The Slayer used the narrow window of opportunity and launched herself against the vampire.

" Flee, Tina! " said Donna, while the ground shook again.

Tina ran toward the door and managed to get out of the old house, when there was what she thought was another quake. She looked at the sky and saw fireballs raining from the sky, and one of them seemingly directed toward her. She ran as fast as she could. When the fireball impacted in the old house, the shockwave knocked her to the ground, inconscious.

She woke some time later, and the first thing that she saw was Donna over her.

" Donna! I thought that you... "

" No, Rawlings was buried when the second quake made the floor of the main room fell. Then, I ran out of there as fast as I could. " said the Slayer.

The body of the vampire that had been Virgil Rawlings had been buried under tons of debris, filled with glowing green rocks from the meteorite that had fallen in the house.

Before Nell's shop

" Nell! Thanks god that you are well! " said the black-haired woman. " Where are...? "

Before the woman could continue Nell pointed to a crater in the middle of the street.

" Oh, my god! " said the woman, covering her mouth with her hands.

Some sobs distracted her. Near where Nell was, a little girl dressed in a fairy costume was crying.

" They had just arrived and Lana was waiting for them when... this happened. " said Nell, and crumbled. Artemis Stevens comforted her friend as well as she could.

Metropolis. Fourteen years later

" The Stevens? " said the man to the young woman that was talking to him. " Let me think... They moved to Smallville almost twenty years ago. He became a technician in the fertilizer plant and she started to work in a local cinema. I think that I have a photo somewhere. "

The man went back to his flat and a few minutes later he returned with an old photo of a young couple before a building.

" This was the cinema. "

" Can I keep the picture? "

" If you want... "

Cleveland.

Buffy Summers, the Vampire Slayer, staked the vampire in the heart.

" Twenty-two. " she said. " My god, have all the vampires here agreed to attack me tonight?. "

" The answer to that is "yes". " said somebody behind her.

Buffy turn around, ready to battle, and only saw a small man, a few meters from her, almost invisible in the mist that covered the graveyard.

" And you are...? "

" Let's say that I serve The Powers That Be, Slayer. " said the man. " Did you know Doyle, the defunct associate of Angel? "

" You have visions, don't you? "

" I see that you knew Doyle, but the answer is no, I only receive cryptic clues that have to be sent to a specific person. And I have one for you: Virgil Rawlings, 1989. "

" And what is the meaning of that? "

" That's your problem, not mine. " he said, before vanishing in the mist.

London.

" Ah, hello, Buffy. " said Giles to the phone. " What?... Speak a bit slower, please... All right, Virgil Rawlings, 1989. I'll check... Well, I have already a few Watchers working, monitoring the young Slayers, and locating the ones that we could have missed... I'll call you in a few hours... Goodbye, Buffy. " Giles put the phone back on its cradle and turned to a red-haired woman with whom had been talking before. " Izzy, can you replace me at this desk? I have to check something. "

A motel in Cleveland

" Dawn, I'm waiting for a call of Giles. " said Buffy to her sister. " So, please end now! "

Dawn said good-bye to her friend, and hung up the phone. She had just done that when the phone rang. Before Dawn could react, Buffy was already talking to the phone.

" Giles?... Ok, you have found the reference... A Slayer fought a vampire with that name in... Smartville?... Ah, Smallville. And where is that?... Kansas? That isn't the place where there was a meteor storm a few years ago... Ok, we'll be... I have been attacked by 22 vampires tonight, Giles, so Dawn comes with me... As I was saying, tomorrow we'll be on the road... No? Why?... Oh, a plane will be ready in Columbus tomorrow... Ok, bye. " she hung up the phone and saw her sister preparing a case. " Smart girl. "

" Why do I have to come with you, Buffy? " said Dawn " I don't mind, after what happened last week, I have no friends left in the high school, but I'm curious. "

" There was one demon with the vampires that I defeated this night that called me "the Keeper of the Key". I killed the demon, but I`m afraid there might be others. " said Buffy. " God, I hoped that after the destruction of Sunnydale, and the awakening of the Slayers, I could simply have something resembling a normal life. I'm really tired of being the Slayer, Dawn, really, really tired. "
