Chapter 10

The Trinity

Angel, Gunn, and Xander walk down the dark corridors of the vineyard looking for Caleb. Hearing his voice behind a door, they stop and listen in. Angel prepares to kick the door open, but then he hears Caleb say his name.

"What kind of fella' calls himself Angel?" Caleb asked someone as he opened the door.

"I don't know, the ladies seem to like it." Angel said as he punched Caleb in the face. The punch sent Caleb flying into some wine barrels. Bursting them on impact.

"Nice punch Deadboy." Gunn said as he hefted his homemade axe on his shoulder. At Angel's glare he relented. "Just messin' with you dawg."

"Get up Caleb!" Buffy/The First shouted. With that Caleb slowly stood up rubbing his jaw.

"You deal with them. I'm going to awaken the dead and get the rest of the WolfBlades." Buffy/The First said as she blinked away. Leaving Caleb, Angel, Xander and Gunn in the room.

"Well now..." Caleb started in his southern drawl. "Xander I see you came by so I could finish the job?" he said as he made an eye gouging motion with his thumb.

"Not fucking likely." Xander mutters as he lifts his sword.

"Oh and look you brought some new members to hear my sermon." Caleb said as he started to walk closer to Gunn and Angel.

"Sorry padre. I'm not much on religion." Angel says as he vamps out and charges Caleb. Unseen by them, bringers come out of the shadows.

Restview Cemetary

Buffy/The First stood over the graves of the dead chanting a spell in latin. To it's delight, heads and arms started to pop out of the ground.

"Yes, rise and do my bidding." she said as one of her soldiers of the dead walked over to her. Only to fall to the ground a moment later, from a gunshot wound to the head.

Turning she saw Wesley with a shotgun in hand.

"Sorry to interrupt." Wes said as Giles and Principal Wood run up behind him. "But I think the dead need their sleep." he quipped as he cocked his gun.

"You!" Buffy/First growled pointing at Giles. "You're supposed to be dead."

"Well you know what they say about the hellmouth." Giles said as he lifted up a sword of his own. "No one ever stays dead."

Without a word the First blinked out of existance. As she left more of the dead started to rise and a wolf's howl could be heard.

Buffy/The First went down into the basement of the Sunnydale highschool, with the purpose of opening up the Hellmouth. Only when she got there she saw that it was already open and Jesse was standing there smiling at her.

"What took you so long?" Jesse quips as she dives into the hole. Running down the stairs she lifted up her bag (the one with the plasma grenades in them, that she came to this time with.) and threw it over the vast chasm.

"Willow now!" she yelled as the bag fell into the hand of a Turok-han. Willow produced red and orange fireballs in her hands and threw them at the bag.

"Everybody get down!" Buffy yelled as the bag exploded. As the dust settled they looked down in the chasm.

As they do the horde of raging Turok-han surge up and over the edge of the chasm toward Buffy, Faith, Spike, Jesse and the team of newly called Vampire Slayers. The explosives didn't put much of a dent in the vast number of Uber-vamps.

"These guys are dust." Vi says with all confidence.

Spike, Faith, Jesse and Buffy brace themselves as the first wave leaps up over the edge and attacks. They fight like they never have before, almost as if Jesse, Willow, and Giles spell has enhanced their already-formidable strength in addition to calling all the potentials to Slayerhood.

"Gunn, get down!" Angel yells. As he does Angel throws a dagger that kills a bringer that was behind Gunn. As Angel turned around he was met with a fist to the face by Caleb, that sent him to the ground.

"Now, now, now.." Caleb softly chided. "I hate to see the lord's work interrupted." he quips as he kicks Angel in the ribs. As he tries to kick him again, he get's stabbed through the back.

With wide eye's Caleb falls to the ground bleeding purfusely. As he does Xander stands over his lifeless body, with a grin.

"Damn. I never thought killing a preacher would feel this good." He quips to Angel, extending his hand. Just as he was leaning down to help him up a bringer tackled him to the ground.

Wood and Giles brace themselves as a rampaging horde of Zombies race around the corner of the cemetery and attack. Luckily for them The First didn't get to complete it's spell, because they only had to worry about twenty zombies.

Giles's sword flashes as it whips around and decapitates one of the snarling beasts. Wood extends his arms and two razor-sharp fighting daggers shoot out of the sleeves of his coat and into his hands. He rakes one of the knives across the neck of the undead, slicing it open, then pirouettes and jams the other knife through the throat of a second attacker.

Wes however is busy taking care of the WolfBlades. Seeing only three left, he aims carefully at the biggest one in the middle. As he was about to fire one of the undead suddenly jumps on him, sending his gun clattering to the ground.

In one quick move Wes snaps it's neck and pushes the body off of him. As he was about to pick his gun up, a shadow cascade's over him. Looking up he see's the hulking figure of the black wolf.

More Turok-han charge up from the abyss and now the rest of the Slayers join the fight. Roundhouse kicks, uppercuts, sidekicks, leaps- punching and twirling in a stunning battle dance such as the world has never seen. Each Slayer, cloaked and anointed in the power, burning bright as they fight back the ravening horde, slaying as if they have been doing it all their lives.

Vi leaps into the air and slams into one of the vampires with tremendous force, sending it reeling backward into the abyss. Rona/Nikki cracks another in the head with the cast on her broken arm, snapping its neck. Amanda impales a third with her lance, turning it instantly to dust. All around them the battles rages, three dozen Slayers against an army of super-vampires.

Buffy, Faith and the others are in the fight of their lives. They beat back the Turok-han one after the other, staking them, punching them, slicing them to pieces, whatever it takes. The First Evil leaps down from the entrance above and calls out to Jesse.

"You stupid little bitch!" she snarled as she walked past the vamps and former potentials.

"Do you really think that you have the power to stop me?" The First snarled as her eyes started to flash red. Jesse looked around at the new Slayers killing all of the Uber-vamps, before she answered.

"Yeah, actually I do think I have the power to stop you." she said as she took her sword out of her duster.

"I'll show you what true power is..." The First said as she started to violently shake. After a moment the image of Buffy faded. In her place stood the age old vampire The Master. And next to him stood ADAM. And next to ADAM stood Glory.

"So sweet pea..." Glory started as she stepped forward. "do you still think you can whup me?"
