Yeah, I'm back. Sorry it took so long. My computer decides to die every once-n- a while.
Disclaimer: I own only Vyper and Alexis. BTW this story is for the most part AU. It's merely based on the show with the same basic plot.
Chapter 3
Our heroes step out of the portal into the giant white room where Boton is waiting for them.
Boton: Hello, everyone! It is nice to see that it didn't take you boys very long to find them.
Yusuke: Yeah, amazing how easy it is to find someone who's throwing an ax at Hiei.
Buffy: Hey! In my self defense I didn't know he was a good guy. I'm a slayer. I kill things. How do you expect me to not go after hem?
Kuwabara: She has a good point.
Hiei: What about Vyper, Angel, Spike, and Alexis?
Vyper: She tried to kill us the first time too.
Faith: Some more than others.
Yu Yu Gang: What?
Faith: Angel and Alexis were the only ones who weren't gone after more than once. No wait I take that back. Alexis is the only one B tried killing once.
Buffy: Shut up, Faith.
Boton: Anyway, let me take you to Koenma.
Yusuke: Can we hold hands and skip?
They walk into the office. Koenma looks up and glares.
Koenma: You're early. You shouldn't be here until… well in two days. We had everything planned. You weren't supposed to find them this quickly.
Vyper: Well, we could play hide-n-seek for two days, but that would be a waste of time. Might as well watch Die Hard for all the good it will do.
Koenma: I thought that particular aspect of your personality would have worn off by now. Apparently I was wrong.
Vyper: Sarcasm makes the world go round. That and coffee.
Buffy: And chocolate.
Spike: And those flowery onion things.
Willow: Don't forget mochas.
Kuwabara: That was so weird.
Xander: Speaking of weird, where's Andrew?
Yusuke: Andrew?
Kennedy: Short, blond, total geek.
Dawn Oh, right. He went out to get groceries.
Boton: I'll go get him. Can one of you come with me so I can find him?
Alexis: I'll go. Just tape the smack down between Vyper and Koenma when/if it happens. I really want to see toddler breath get his butt roundly kicked.
Koenma: You two haven't since you got off your parole 37 centuries ago! Alexis, I expected you to stay the same, but you, Vyper, you had the chance to re-live childhood and you still end up like this. You're the exact same!
Vyper: You keep saying that; yet you leave my new coffee fetish out every time.
The Scooby Gang finally realizes that Koenma is a toddler. Boton and Alexis leave.
Buffy: He is the ugliest baby I've ever seen.
Cordy: And his outfit is so three years ago.
Dawn: It's kinda cute how he still has the pacifier.
Faith: You were on parole, Vyper?
Vyper: Only once. The other times I never got caught.
Kennedy: Did anyone realize what a cool word fetish is?
Willow: Not really, but you're totally right.
Angel: I've always liked it.
Koenma: Enough! Why did the only other team of evil fighting people have to have you in it!
Vyper: 'Cause God has an awesome sense of humor.
Koenma: Why don't you enlighten me as to how you all met?
Kurama: Shouldn't we get to the mission now?
Koenma: In a minute. Giles, would you tell the story.
Vyper: I was born on a bright sunny day near the beach. It was almost time for lunch-
Koenma: Not you!
Giles: Well, um, Buffy came to Sunnydale her sophomore year of high school. She met Willow and Xander after a friend of theirs was turned into a vampire. I trained her and they helped with fighting and researching. Eventually Cordelia joined us.
Cordelia: Unwillingly.
Giles: Angel too helped us fight. Vyper was posing as a history teacher and was helping us behind our backs. Alexis was watching over us when Vyper could not. Our first major enemy was the Master. He killed Buffy by drowning her. Xander brought her back with CPR. But another slayer was already called. Buffy then killed the Master and saved the world. In their junior year Spike and Drusilla came to Sunnydale and wreaked havoc. Willow started dating a young man named Oz, who was a werewolf. After awhile we realized that the demons that were more powerful than Buffy never came around. Once we were captured by one of these demons and we were saved by Vyper. It was then that we discovered Vyper was a vampire. Buffy tried to kill her several times-
Buffy: I thought she was evil!
Koenma: She still is.
Giles But we found out she was on our side and also that se was destined to protect the only being that could kill her. You see she is cursed-
Vyper: Koenma knows all about that no need to go over it.
Koenma and Vyper have a glaring contest that would even make Hiei back away.
Giles: Buffy and Angel shared an intiment moment and Angel lost his soul. He joined Spike and Dru. The new slayer came to help, but Dru killed her. Willow was able to give Angel his soul back with magic and has been involved in magic ever since. Unfortunately it was too late and Buffy still had to kill Angel to save the world.
After that Faith came into the picture and Angel came back from hell. We had a bad experience with and ex-watcher at that time we were shown the wolf demon part of Vyper in a horrendous fight she had with yet another powerful demon. After remembering what happened the prior year, she left. The Council sent us a new Watcher name Wesley. He was very annoying and not much help at the time. The girls never listened to him. Eventually Faith turned evil and sided with the Mayor to bring about another apocalypse. Faith poisoned Angel and the only cure was slayers blood. Buffy tried to kill Faith so she could save Angel, but all she managed to do was put her in a coma. Buffy used her own blood to save Angel. We killed the Mayor and blew up the school in the process. At some point that year a vengeance demon called Anyanka created another universe, but she was stripped of her powers and was called Anya after we got everything back to normal. After defeating the Mayor Angel, Cordelia, and Wesley wound up working together in LA.
Xander skipped collage and started dating Anya, but Buffy, Willow, and Oz went to UC Sunnydale. There was a scientific organization called the Initiative that conducted experiments on demons. Willow and Oz broke up because he felt as if he needed to get control over the wolf inside of him. Buffy found a new boyfriend named Riley who worked for the Initiative. Willow eventually got over Oz and started dating Tara, who was also a witch. The Initiative mad a demon/human/computer being named Adam. Faith woke up from her coma and switched bodies with Buffy. We have obviously fixed that now. Then Faith left for LA and began to repent, for lack of a better word, for what she has done andshe went to jail.The Initiative also put a chip in Spike's head so he couldn't hurt humans anymore. We defeated Adam and the Initiative was abandoned. Or so we thought. Apparently there was more to killing Adam and he came back stronger than ever. When we were about to be killed Vyper came out of nowhere and saved us again.
The next year Dawn came to us, only we thought she had always been there. She was a key that could open up all hell dimensions. To keep her safe, a bunch of monks gave everyone fake memories of her. A Hell "god", Glory, wanted to go back to her dimension so naturally she wanted the key. Well that would bring about the end of the world-
Yusuke: I'm starting to notice a pattern.
Xander: Good young padawan. Use the force.
Yusuke: Don't do that.
Giles: As I was saying, Buffy and Riley broke up. And Buffy's and Dawn's mother died of a brain tumor. Glory took Dawn and managed to open the dimensions, so to save the world, Buffy died… again.
Willow, Tara, Xander, and Anya were able to bring her back to life. Buffy and Spike had a relationship, sort of. All the while a bunch of boys were becoming thorns in our sides.
Buffy: They were kind of amusing.
Xander: Yep. The menacing trio: Warren, Jonathan, and Andrew.
Giles: Xander and Anya were supposed to get married, but he left her at the alter and she became a vengance demon again. Willow and Tara broke up earlier that year because Willow was becoming addicted to magic. They did get back together though. Unfortunately they were only together for about two days before Warren shot Tara and killed her.
We see Willow grow paler and cling to Kennedy more. Kennedy tightens her hold on Willow.
Giles: This sent Willow off the deep end. She had stopped using magic, but now it consumed her. She skinned Warren alive and then tried destroying the world. If Xander hadn't brought our Willow back we wouldn't be here. I'm sorry to bring back these memories, Willow.
Willow: It's all right. They should know.
Giles: She went to England to become not evil. And then there was the First. Sunnydale High had been rebuilt and Wood was the principal. He hired Buffy as a guidance consular. Andrew killed Jonathan and almost opened the seal above the Hellmouth. Anya realized killing for vengance was wrong after seeing the results of her doing. She became human again. The First was killing all of the potential slayers so we started bringing them to Buffy. The Council was destroyed. Kennedy and Willow started up a relationship. Andrew joined the side of good. And we found an enchanted scythe that is the slayers' oldest and most powerful weapon and it can't be used by a man. The First had an ex-preacher working for him… it; he is the one who poked Xander's eye out. Buffy killed him with the scythe. The First also had an army of uber-vamps, as they like to call them. They were stronger than any other vampire we've ever faced, with the exception of Vyper of course. It takes the power of a slayer to kill one. Faith broke out of jail to help us battle the First. During the final fight, Willow used the essence of the scythe to change all of the potentials into real slayers, thus breaking the rule of having only one slayer at a time. When doing that spell she gained full control of her power and hasn't been bothered with the darker magics sense. Anya died that day. Spike used the power of an amulet to bring sunlight into the Hellmouth to defeat the First forever and it killed Spike.
Its army was destroyed, the Hellmouth was closed, but the First was not dead yet. You see, when I was talking about how Vyper was destined to protect the slayer we had translated a prophecy, but I thought it had already occurred or would happen eventually. It said, 'The black wolf will save the slayer when nothing else can.' We thought Vyper was only a vampire at the time so eventually forgot about it. The First had its name for a reason. It was the first evil to come to this world, thus we couldn't touch it. Seeing as Vyper was from Demon World and older than the First she could touch it. The prophecy was then fulfilled because she is the one who killed it for good.
Koenma: And now as to why you are here, saving the world again. On a different plane there is a ruby that will decide the fate of the Human World.
Faith: And what plane would that be?
Koenma: Middle Earth.
Everyone starts laughing, with the exception of Kurama, Hiei, Koenma, and Vyper.
Buffy: Do you plan on making us jump into a certain page of the books?
Koenma: Nope. I'm going to send you to the real Middle Earth. Tolkien did a good job of recording the history, but he did lie about a few things.
Vyper: So what are we supposed to do? Get the ruby and bring it here before the bad guys get it?
Koenma: Not all of you are going.
Kennedy: Come again.
Koenma: If you do not succeed, Human World will be destroyed. I am bringing your loved ones here and keeping most of you here to maintain the balance between Demon and Spirit Worlds. The rest are going after the ruby.
Yusuke: So, who's going?
Koenma: Kurama, Hiei, Buffy, Faith, Willow, Kennedy, Vyper, and Alexis.
Yusuke: Why do they get to go and not me!
Koenma: Because Kurama is a genius and powerful, Hiei is very fast and powerful and stealthy, having slayers is the best thing we could do, Willow is the most powerful witch ever, Alexis can get you in anywhere you need. And as much as it pains me to say this, Vyper is the perfect fighter: brains, strength speed, agility, and she has so much energy that you couldn't possibly imagine it. Oh, I forgot, SHE CAN ONLY BE KILLED BY BUFFY! You're here because I need someone with your strength to stay behind if they fail. You eight will wait for your family and friends to arrive so you can say your goodbyes and then you will leave.
Vyper: What are we getting for this?
Koenma: My detectives are getting their usual salary. You will get 5 million each for every day.
Vyper: I don't know. It's tempting but-
Faith: But what? 5 million makes me happy.
The rest of the Scoobies agree.
Vyper: Well, ya'll are human, so you don't understand the whole money means nothing when you can take whatever you want thing.
Koenma: You can have the money and I'll erase all of your charges for both of your live and not a single mark on your record will ever be made.
Vyper: I want all of that and you have to take this curse off of me. Deal?
Koenma: …Deal.
Alexis, Boton, and Andrew walk in.
Alexis: So what did we miss?
