Disclamier: Do not own Buffy and never will.

The three survivors found themselve inside a crypt. Judgeing by the
spider webs on the wall and the dirt on the floor it hadn't been used
in some time. So for now at least, they were safe.

"You two should stay here while I explore this world" said Randor.

"That would be an illogical course of action Randor. You have no
idea what danger this world has. I on the other hand do. Please
allow me to educate you before you get yourself killed in your
haste." said Edward.

"Don't talk down to me professor, I'm trained to handle any
situation." siad Randor.

"So were the others, including your Commander Malachite. You my
friend are all that's left of your breed" Edward said bluntly.

"You know nothing of our ways, you are not a soilder. Therefore you
have no right to demean those that sacrificed themselves for your
ass." said Randor angrily.

"That was not my intent. I respect you and am grateful to your
soilder race. I'm simply saying what made them great was their
ability to listen to others. I'm asking you to do that now. After
all, we are all we have left." stated Edward.

To this Randor remained silent and Edward took that as his
acceptance to hear him out.

"Thank you, first you shoud know this world has a variety of demons.
However very few of them use any kind of magic. Most depend on brute
strength and primitive weapons. The most numerous of this world seem
to be called vampires."

"What are their strengths and weakness" interuppted Randor.

"Before I get to that I should explaiin their background. They start
off as humanoids just like ourselves. A vampire uses its fangs to
pierce a person's neck and draining them of their blood. Then the
vampire cuts itself and forces its victim to drink from it. At which
point the person sleeps for a night and a day and then rises. They
too become a vampire and repeat the cycle."

"So instead of killing their victims they use them to add to their
race. They sound alot like the Tengos."

"In that way they are, but that is where the similarites end. Unlike
the tengo's vampires cannot stand sunlight. They burn to ash in
seconds. Direct attacks by fire have the same result. Also they can
be killed by a wooden or iron object to the heart. Cutting of their
head is also a way to kill them. Also since vampires are close to
pure demons holy things such as holy water or a cross can hurt them.
Lastly they cannot enter a house unless they are invited."

"How can beings with so many weakness possibly be the most numerous
demons? Are the defenses of this world on this world so weak?" asled
Randor.

"Not so much weak as ill informed"

"Explain"

"Most of the people of this world don't know or accept the existence
of demons. They belive the only demons in their society are their
own kind in human form. Also don't forget that I said the most
numerous, that doesn't mean they are the strongest. There are demons
here who can control both fire and earth."

"Like the Elites" said a shocked Randor.

"Yes, but no where near the extent of their power. There are also
those whose own bodies work as a weapon. They can slash as well as
smash. They are those who can bend reailty itself. Again, no where
near the extent of the Elites. Luckily accoeding to my books the
most powerful demons have either been killed, banished, or imprisoned
years ago."

"Just how recent is your information on this world?"

"Well roughly around 50 years"

"I hate to state the obvious, but alot could have happen since then.
However we will deal with that when and if it happens. Based on what
you have told me so far evil has a big advantage over good. It
doesn't seem like we will have much support against Kalis followers
coming after us. Let alone, and I pray this doesn't happen, Kalis
himself."

"If you would allow me to finish I was only describing one side. Now
I will explain the other."

"Alright then Edward get on with it. We have no idea how long it
will take for them to track us here."

"Understood, now like most this world has those who defend it. From
both outside and inside forces, more the latter. They go by diffent
names and handle different situations depending on the danger level.
Almost no magic is used in this enforcement but their technology
makes up for it.

"Sush as?"

"To save on time they have powerful weapons. Not really advanced as
other worlds but enough to get by. Also there are magic users but
they are largely persecuted. Therefore they would jump at the chance
to use their powers in our fight.

"But would they be willingly to risk their lives?"

"As always that depends on the person themeselve and at the moment
that is unknown. But these factors or minor considering the real
reason I chose this place. Besides being short of time of course."

"Alright, so who are these powerful allies that we must seek in our
fight againt Kalis forces?"

Edward kept silent for a moment and then usherd one word "Kel Tok".

That one word made the world go silent. Randor was moving his mouth
but no words were coming out. He finally closed his mouth and took
a big breath. Randor then opened his mouth only to be interuppted by
Sarah who had remained quiet since their escape.

"Such a being exists on this world?" asked Sarah in astonishment.

Edward simply nodded.

"I heard master Ronda speak of them. But not even she had met one
before. Are you absolutely sure one exists here?" asked Sarah in
desperation.

Edward nodded again.

"Now wait a minute, this makes no since. If a Kel Tok really exists
on this world then why do some many demons roam here?" said Randor
finally getting his voice back.

Edward turned his head up an said nothing.

"Well?" said an impatient Randor.

"The answer to that is simple, she doesn't know she is one" finally
said Edward.

"How the hell couldn't you know!The ability to detroy a city with a
snap of your fingers should be a dead give away." said Randor
outraged.

"How do you know that it is a girl?" asked Sarah calmly.

"I'll start with Randor's question. Firstly, and Kel Tok's pwer is
greatly exaggerated in the rumors you have heard. Also the power of
a Kel Tok varies depending on the person themselve as well as their
experience. On this world their is a Kel Tok born for every new
generation."

"That's insane, that would mean that this planet is filled with gods"
said Randor.

"I wasn't finished yet. What I meant was that a New Kel Tok can only
be born after the old one dies. Therefore there is only one Kel Tok
at any given time here. Futhermore the only powers that they can tap
into are increased strength, senses, healing, and a high ability to
detect evil no matter what the form. In this world thay are called
Slayers. I know its a girl because only the female gender can become
a slayer. They usualyy recieve this power between the ages of 15 and
20. It's a shame that their life expectancy isn't more than 2 to 3
years.

"What, but why?" said a nearly crying Sarah.

"Just think about it, just one girl to face the demons of the world.
Not able to call upon outside help because she wouldn't be believed.
Sure there are others that fight the good fight, but she is the
front line. We all know when the front goes, the rest is soon to
follow." said Edward.

"If she can only use those powers then what good is she to us? Those
abilities might be special here, but the Elites would have no
trouble destoying her." said Randor

"Again, you did not let me finish Randor."

" Then finish, I'm not waiting much longer Edward."

"Very well, I'll keep the explaination as short as possible. They
can only tap into those powers because their minds haven't evolved
enough to use their stronger ones. They haven't the concentration to
summon or use their greater powers with. Thankfully, we can help
them with this problem."

"We can, but how?" said Sarah.

"With my vast knowledge and your magic Sarah we can unleash the Kel
Tok's, or slayer as she is called here, ultimate powers."

"But Ronda was the Sorceress, I am simply a apprentice. Won't it
take substancial power to awaken this slayers ultimate powers?"

"In deed it will, and as Ronda's apprentice you have that power."

"What, but..."

"Don't worry Sarah, when the time comes you'll know what to do. Also
you will recognize the aura of the slayer and be able to pint her out
to us. That is why you must go with Randor when he goes out."

"That's unacceptable Edward, I work better alone. I would have to
divide my attention by looking after her." said Randor.

"I believe you underestimate our young friends power. Nevertheless
this is not up for debate. As you have said repeatinly we have
little time before Kalis forces track us here. We must find the
slayer as soon as possible. Sarah is the quickest way to accomplish
that task."

Randor wanted to protest, especially since his own arguement was
being used against him. Infortunally he knew Edward was right and
reluctantly nodded his head in agreement.

"Good, while you two are gone I will continue my researh of this
planet. Hopefully I can find other things that would be helpful to
our cause."

"You do that, and keep the chest hidden. It's time to get going
Sarah. Also if you could perfom some kind of invisibility spell. I
don't want to waste time fighting demons while we look for the
slayer."

"I can, but it will only protect us from lowly demons. Those with
heightened magic senses will detect us." said Sarah.

"Well lets hope we don't run into any of those then. See you later
Edward, and watch yourself."

"You too, and one more thing. Don't tell the slayer she's a Kel
Tok. Just give her a brief version of our situation and arrange a
meeting. We must be careful how she finds out."

Randor didn't understand but nodded his head in agreement. He
gripped his weapon and headed out of the crypt with Sarah right
behind him.

"Good luck my friends, and may the guardians protect you." said
Edward.

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK

Suddenly the sounds of a man coming down some stairs was heard. As
well as some muttered curses.

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK

"I'm bloody well coming, don't get your knickers in a twist." said
Giles as he reached the bottem of the stairs. He then finished
closing his robe and opened the door. The sight that was before him
was one that he expected.

Buffy, Willow, and Xander were standing at his door covered in dirt.
Buffy was also bleeding from her shoulder but showed no discomfort.
He usherd them in wearily but serectly happy that they were safe.

"Hey Giles, got any soda in the fridge?" asked Xander.

"Xander, don't be so rude" admonished Willow.

"Your right Will, we should get something to eat first" siad Buffy

Xander nodded his head in agreement while Willow shook her head in
exasperation.

For Giles part it was to early in the morning for him to be amused.

"Not that I'm not happy about you all visting me" said Giles
dryly "But is there a specific reason you chose to see me at 12:30 in
the morning?"

"Besides a patrol update, something strange happen to me tonight"
said a more serious Buffy.

All sleep disappered from Giles eyes and his posture straighten "What
happen Buffy"?

Buffy proceeded to tell Giles what happen after she dusted her first
two vampires of the night. She finished up with telling him of
facing a few vampires aftrewards, one in which scratched her
shoulder. After she was done Giles went to his bookshelf.

"I think you were right in assuming it was something mystical. A
slayer is highly sensative to magic around her and by your
dsecribtion that is what occured. I'll of course look through my
books for more information. Until then you should continue to be on
guard. Some evil force may have arrived in Sunnydale."

"Great, as if Adam wasn't enough. I'm not sure I can handle another
big bad Giles. I never felt anything like that before. There's no
telling what kind of power this thing might have."

"That is only one possibility Buffy, they are numerous other things
it could be. But since we are on the Hellmouth we can't be too
careful. Now all of you return home, you still have school
tomorrow." finished Giles

Willow's eyes brightened while Xander and Buffy groaned. They left
Giles house with his face in a book.

On another planet someone else was explaining their nights
activities. The listener, like Giles, was concerned over the
information he was hearing. Unlike Giles however, he gave no
reaction once the report was finshed. He didn't need to, everyone in
the room lnew that he was furious.

Sirus worked to clear his throat silently as he awaited judgement.
He eyes wondered everywhere but into the shadows in which Kalis
surrounded himself in. He observed Tengo's, scantly clad servent
girls from differnt worlds, 200 storm troppers, 50 artillary robots,
and three Elites beside himself were present. The room itself was
beyond extravagent. Crystal Cahandlers lighted the room and vast
tresures from different worlds layed piled along the walls. Some
stolen, some payment for 'protection'. The round dining room table
to seat a 100 was in the middle. To the back of the room lay the
throne. Very little could been seen of it because it was always in
the dark.

Suddenly the entire throne room went dark. No one said a word. They
knew that it was Kalis acting out his emotions. Seconds later light
returned to the room. The sight that appeared surprised no one.

8 Tengo heads had been decapatated, 14 storm troopers chest were
imploded, and four servent girls were gone without a trace. Sirus
himself was missing his right hand. The pain was immese but Sirus
showed none. To do so would result in futher punishment, Kalis did
not tolerate the weak.

Kalis fiery eyes slowly dimmed inside the shadows. Everyone knew he
had calmed and was about to speak.

"I need not tell you how unsatisfactory this report is to me. Not
only does your faliure make you look like a imcompentent idiot. It
makes me look bad that I chose you. Your fellow Elites accomplished
their tasks with little trouble. Perhaps I was mistaken in choosing
you as an Elite. But I don't make mistakes, do I Sirus?" said Kalis

Sirus remained silent knowing he was not to answer. On the inside he
was continuing to concentrate on blocking out the pain of his missing
hand.

"Since I don't make mistakes, that must mean that you didn't make
one. You must have allowed the rebels to escape on purpose. To make
them believe that they got away from you. You must have a brilliant
plan to explain all this. Plese enlighten us in on this plan Sirus."

Sirus quickly went through his mind trying to find an explanation.
At the same time aware that the other Elites were enjoying his
discomfort and fear. Unexpectantly Kalis saved him from further
embarrasment.

"Only joking with you Sirus, you know how I like to joke" Kalis then
started to laugh from the shadows which echoed throughout the entire
room. The very sound could tear the flesh from bones. Everyone else
in the room started to laugh as well including Sirus, though
nervously.

Just as it started, Kalis stopped. Everyone one in the room stopped
laughing as well. The room was once again in complete silence.

"In preparation for me recieving the final artifact that will make me
a god you decided to get me a present. A new planet to add to my
empire. To make it more interesting you even involved a little cat
and mouse. Us being the cat and the rebels being the mice. I am
pleased you didn't forget how much I enjoy games." said Kalis.

Sirus was astonished, Kalis was making an excuse for him. They both
knew that it was a lie. However he was giving him a second chance
while at the same time making himself look good. Sirus actually
started to smile at the moment. The smile disappeared when he felt
a cold chill envelope his entire body.

Kalis voice went raw "Although I enjoy games, I want this one to end
quickly. After I locate the rebels you will go there at once.
Torture and kill who you must to retrieve the artifact. You shall
have a small army and can aquire local help if needed. Bring back
the artifact as well as the head of the strongest warrior of the
planet. After which I will restore your hand and you will stand at
my side as I conquer the universe. Now leave me, I will contact you
when I locate the rebels location." finished Kalis.

Just as quickly the cold chill was gone. Kalis had used his powers
to show Sirus he was far from forgiven. Sirus bowed his head and
turned and left the throne room among the stares of the others.

Back on Earth, another person was already on their way to the
artifact, though unknowingly. Faith was on her way to Sunnydale for
only one reason, revenge.

Shortly after waking up Faith confronted the first two people she
saw. Though she was far from full strength it was easy to subdue
them. From them she was able to learn that she was in Arizona,
specifally The Phoniex Institute of Medicine. It was a private
hospital not open to the public. The Mayor had had her sent their in
secret shortly beofore graduation had started. She also found out
that he had mysteriously disappearred later that same day. It was no
mystery to Faith, yet another reason to kill Buffy.

Ordilies had arrived to restrain her, but they too were no match for
her slayer strength. Whatever power surge had awken her had her a
good dose of adreline. That combined with here rage made her an
unstoppable force.

After sercuring the hospital staff, she didn't feel like killing
them, she was able to find her chlothes she had on that night. She
also found a letter that turned out to be the mayor's will. It
basically consisted of a key and directions to a lock box that had
talismans he had obtained over the years. Also it explained after
his death 27 million dollars were to be moved in to an account under
the name Sarah Parker. Documents and identifaction had already been
created to show that this person exsisted. What others didn't know
was that Sarah and Faith were the same person. Even after her faliure
and his death he still looked after her. She would make sure that
she didn't fell him a second time.

After leaving the hospital she walked to the nearest pay phone. She
called the bank and used her account number the mayor's documents
gave her. The bank was happy to help a rich customer and offered to
help her in any way. She asked to find the next flight to
Sunnydale. After a couple of minutes the banker came on line saying
they weren't any flights to Sunnydale because it had no airport.
However there was a flight to Los Angeles that left in two hours.
Also they would assign a limo to pick her up and take her to
Sunnydale from there. Faith refused and said she rather drive
herself, preferbly a Jag. The backer followed her instructions and
told her the tickets would be waiting for her at the airport under
her name. Faith thanked the womaen and hung up. After she got to
Los Angeles her next step was Sunnydale, and the death of the blond
bitch Buffy Summers.

Hope you enjoy the story so far. I changed Faith still being in
Sunnydaly because I thought that made her too vulnerable. Also I'm
very proud of my made up villian Kalis and hope you like him too.
