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.
Valentine Manor basement corridors
- Who are you? - asked Buffy once that the Borg were gone, and the bubble of whatever was it that were protecting them had dissipated - And how did you that? -
- I made a pocket in the time-space, and got us inside.- she said as if it wasn't anything out of ordinary - I'm called the Outcast, and I am in full command of powers that are even beyond Antonia's wildest dreams. But The Powers That Be forbid me to use those powers. And answering your first question, I'm another alternate of Tony.-
- How many of you are there? -
- Only four. Tony, Antonia, "AC" and me. Our existence is a so low probability event that in the infinite quantum realities, only four of us exist. -
- Ah... Ok. And why are you here? -
- I have been watching the confrontation, as part of the penance that I have to endure. But when Antonia cheated I took some steps. -
- Cheated? -
- Certain events are supposed to happen in a determinate order in the final confrontation between the Daughters of the Stars and the Shadows. - seeing the blank expression on her face - Tony and Antonia. They are called by those names in an old prophecy. -
- Some things never change. - commented the Slayer.
- I suppose. - conceded the Outcast and continued - Well, Antonia's dream-sphere was jeopardizing the sequence. I am allowed to give a hand in emergencies, and this qualified as one of them. But we have no time for more explanations. You are needed up there. - the woman snapped her fingers and Buffy found herself on the lawn of Valentine Manor, surrounded by the Enterprise security officers, who were getting ready to storm the subterranean lab.
Adam's Borg hive headquarters. Valentine Manor basement. Sunnydale CA
Antonia tried to disintegrate Adam with an energy bolt shot form her hand, but the energy field that the frankenstein-like being erected shrugged off the bolt.
- Now you are not significant for my plans. So you must be... - started to say Adam when a big chunk of the ceiling fell on him.
Antonia extended her arms and several things all over the room began to levitate.
- I'll show you significance, stupid! - said Antonia, her eyes exhaling a darkness that seemed a physical thing.
Over them Angel and Tony were trying to hide the fact that they were awake again from the contendants. They were floating thanks to Tony's telekinesis, and she was using all her mental strenght to keep the sphere of dreams together.
"What we do now?" thought Angel.
"I don't know" replied Tony, directing her thought toward the ensouled vampire. "I was waiting for Antonia to get away to try to flee, but I didn't expected this development. Although..."
"Although what?"
"We need to wait until Adam gets in position. When I give you the signal get ready, we are going to fall to the ground."
Adam grabbed one of the chunks of concrete and machinery that Antonia was throwing to him through telekinesis, and threw it back. Antonia, tired by the effort, tried to dodge it and failed.
Adam sneered and began to near the fallen body when he heard a voice from above.
- Now! -
He looked up, and saw that Tony and Angel had freed themselves from the sphere of dreams. At midfall Tony threw something to the other side of the room.
- Ridiculous. - said Adam once that they had reached the ground - Your counterpart was more powerful than you could ever be, and didn't last more than five minutes against me. How do you expect to defeat me? -
Tony smiled crookedly.
- Like this - she said, making a gesture with her hand.
A buzzing sound filled the room when the lightsaber that Tony had thrown before and guided with telekinesis ignited and cut Adam in half.
The lightsaber flew to Tony's hand and she looked at her fallen counterpart.
- Take her, Angel. - she said, resigned.
- Why? I don't see any reason.-
- We need to know what Adam has done with himself. - she explained
- But you have killed him. -
- No, he is still alive. I can feel it, he has somehow enhanced himself. - said Tony. - Take him to the lawn, I'm going to search for Data. -
- But, how are you going to escape? -
- I have good memory, and one tunnel passed over a certain room of the lab. I'll make a hole with the lightsaber. Ah, get Picard to activate the Zeta Protocol with her. - and she explained - A measure designed to control me if I went insane. -
Nodding, Angel took the body of the woman and made his way through the tunnels, while Tony walked in the direction that Antonia was walking. She had the feeling that Data was in that direction. She was thinking about how odd it was that still no drones had appeared.
When she was in the door, Adam's torso began to move toward the lower half of his body, and when he properly aligned himself small black tentacles began to reconnect both halves of his body.
