Summary: a month after the events of Star Trek: First Contact, remnants of Borg technology aboard the Enterprise launch the ship to the moment when Buffy destroyed Adam.
Ruins of Sunnydale High School
Something about Tony Castro was nagging Willow. She seemed... different, somehow. She cast a identification spell on her, even a skilled magician would be hard-pressed to detect it, and the results shocked her. She was Tony Castro, but from an alternate universe. She wondered about what could she be doing here. Then something hit her. What if this Tony was from a Universe like the one that the other Willow was? The opening of the Hellmouth was releasing a lot of magical energy... She had to talk with the others at the first opportunity.
The little red witch was suspecting something, Antonia could feel the doubts on her mind. Oh, well. Tony was coming here, anyway, so a bit of mayhem would add some spice to the sauce. And she knew how to start it, she thought looking at the blonde girl, Tara.
Willow saw how the alternate Tony took Tara to a dark corner, where she couldn't see them. She walked toward them, and started to hear a muffled sound. Tony had caught Tara by her wrists and was keeping Tara's arms over her body with only one hand, while she was keeping Tara's face in the position where she could be french-kissing her. Willow felt her wrath surging, and although she couldn't see it her eyes became black and she started to levitate.
Antonia felt the little witch moving and threw the blonde toward her in a swift movement. Tara impacted in Willow, knocking her down. The action hadn't passed unnoticed by the other people there.
- Admiral, what are you doing? - asked Data, confused
- I don't have anything to say to you, damned fools! - she said, rising a foot over the ground. Her attire changed to the same leather jumpsuit that she had worn when she managed to filter through the Hellmouth. - I'm Antonia, the Empress! -
In that moment, Tony, Buffy and the others appeared in the door of the library.
- You! - said both Tonys at the same time.
Valentine Manor basement
The last series of drones was lying down on the metal lab beds. The full machinery of a drone was going to be implanted in them, that same moment. Adam looked around, the nanoprobes had been busy in the meantime, growing sites for regeneration alcoves and other Borg machinery in the walls, whose components were being made in that same moment. Even the atmosphere seemed to be changing, becoming hotter and with a higher level of humidity in the underground complex under the mansion.
Ruins of the Sunnydale High School
- Do you think that your puny weapons and skills can kill me? - said Antonia, floating in the center of the former library, while withstanding an assault by sorcery, telekinesis and phaser weapons.
- We aren't doing anything here! Get out, while I keep her in check!. - said Tony
- No, I can...! - said Willow
- No, you can't! Believe me, you can't! She is too strong for any of you! - said Tony.
Tony closed her eyes, and began to rise over the ground, while the people gathered there fled.
- Pretty impressive, Tony! But, remember, any power that you have, I have also, and I have more experience using them! -
- No, Antonia. You cannot do what I am going to do. - said Tony softly.
Tony descended on the ground and opened her eyes. The eyes of Antonia had become full black, due to the dark power that she was now wielding. Instead of the luminous white that had appeared on their first confrontation, Tony's eyes retained her usual appearance, but there was something in those eyes that unsettled Antonia. Then, suddenly Tony jumped toward her doppelganger with a tubular object in her hand. A buzzing sound could be heard when the energy blade of the light saber impacted on the energy field that was surrounding Antonia, and cut through it. The former empress of the Terran Empire was falling to the ground in two pieces when both parts disappeared in a flash of darkness.
Confused by this new development, Tony landed on the other side of the library.
- Where did she go? -
The labyrinth under Sunnydale
Antonia had grown her new legs in a moment, and had managed to restore the jumpsuit the moment after. She never liked to teleport herself, made her queasy, but she knew that Tony was able to launch her pieces to the Hellmouth, or to use the Enterprise transporter to disperse her molecules all over the Universe. Where had she transported? She hadn't time to fix her destination before attempting to jump. She had been lucky not to appear inside a mountain. She closed her eyes and concentrated, trying to feel whatever living being could be there. She felt a lost vampire, but he was an ally of the Slayer, and anyway he was as lost as her. Then, suddenly, in the edge of the area that she was scanning she could sense a powerful mind. It seemed mechanical, like the Borg that the Empire had exterminated some years ago, just before her second confrontation with her doppelganger and being hurled into a black hole. She began to walk toward the mind that she had sensed, planning how to dominate that mind.
