The next morning finds an only slightly grumpy Faith as the she heads down the stairs. Willow is munching on some cereal as Faith drags herself into a chair.

Willow smiles at Faith bright and happily, "You're up early it is only twelve o'clock."

Faith points at her t-shirt the same one from the night before that says 'Bite me'. Willow looks at Faith's back as Faith gets a class of milk. Willow smirks at the back of the shirt '101 dusted.'

"So how is the newest potential holding up?"

Willow "Curiously well, she got a hold of Andrew and is putting him through the ringer for information on the supernatural. I would almost feel sorry for him if he wasn't Andrew."

"Well better him then me. So did anyone tell B or Giles about last night yet?"

Willow shakes her head, "No I was sort of hoping it wouldn't come up till after you had your coffee."

"Coffee sounds like a good thing."

Xander comes in smiling. "The old man has some info that he thinks is important on weaknesses of the first evil."

Giles comes walking into the kitchen cleaning his glasses. "For the last time don't call me that." Xander, "Whatever you say old watcher type person."

Giles frowns at Xander "Where's Buffy I figure we should go over what I could find out about the First's strengths."

Willow, "Buffy had a late night patrolling she said there were still the normal vampires to take care of."

Buffy comes down the stairs and walks over to the coffee pot pouring herself a mug full of coffee before looking at people. "So what's the bad news Giles? What new forces do the First have other then that monster preacher?"

Giles shrugs having finished cleaning his glasses for the fifth time that morning. "Yes well the first has a, well to use Buffy's words super army of vampires known as"

Faith coughs. "So you're telling us that these vampires are stronger then normal and harder to kill and there is an army of them? So what part did we miss?"

Giles "Just the part about them being nearly indestructible. The first has an army way too many for Buffy and Faith to deal with alone. So we are sort of between a rock and a hard place, though Willow was saying something about maybe having a chance if we could track down the Mystical Scythe."

Buffy looks at Faith's strangely happy expression before asking, "Mystical weapon might help how? Someone care to fill me in. Oh and patrol went well last night no sight of Caleb or any of his goons."

Faith is trying to not laugh. "Well yeah I don't really think Caleb is going to be causing problems any more we sort of got his priest license revoked."

Willow giggles, "That's one way of saying it. Another way would be that you cut off his ugly head. You can ask Spike about it."

Buffy looks at Willow then Faith then Spike as he walks into the room and towards the microwave to nuke his morning cup of blood. "What? I'm going to make his skull into an ash tray. Figure it's the only thing decent to do with it since he sort of got his jaw broke a few times."

Willow, "Just remember you can not keep it in the house. As for Caleb we fixed that problem last night hey now don't look at me like that I didn't use magic on him. We just called in some help. So you were saying an army of vampires Giles?"

Giles coughs "Caleb is dead on the bloody hell? Well I guess that's one less problem though how you managed to kill him." Faith smiles and points to the Troll's Hammer leaning against the wall. "Oh I guess that explains things." Giles starts working on cleaning his glasses again.

The Microwave goes ding and Spike recovers his mug of blood. "It was a great fight and hey have Faith show you her new toy." Giles "I hardly think a toy is going to help us out with our current problems."

Willow laughs, "Giles remember who he is talking about Slayers and toys normally mean weapons. As in mystical slayer weapons that we might be able to use to even the odds. I was studying the slayers scythe for a while during the night it has a wicked amount of power tuned to the slayers. I think we can use it to fix things."

Buffy, "What types of things Willow and are you okay using that much magic?"

Faith "Relax B Willow's right the scythe feels right, I'll go get it then you can give it a swing and tell me what you think." Faith runs up the stairs and comes walking back down in a few seconds carrying the Slayers Scythe. Faith hands it over to Buffy.

A warm feeling of power flushes over Buffy's face as she lifts the scythe up. "Oh man you didn't tell me about this weapon before? How come it feels so great?"

Giles "That's cause it was made for the slayer it was lost many years ago, how it ended up in a California Vineyard I'm not sure but it was supposed to be the slayers a long time ago. It would have been if it hadn't been lost do to mistakes made by the council."

Xander "Sort of glad the old council isn't around any more. So not that I'm underestimating the magic in this thing but it's not a rocket launcher how is it supposed to stop the First's vampires?"

Willow smiles and pulls out three clear crystals and places them around the room. "Okay now that the privacy spell is in place. I think we can rewrite the rules Buffy, how long have you wanted help in your duties? Then you got Faith and other then a few black spots it was good wasn't it, to not be alone right? So what if we can make all of the girls that have the potential to be slayers into slayers. That would even the odds in the fight against the first's vampires to a large extent."

Giles, "Oh good lord."

Willow "No oh good goddess and yes an army of slayers to help with destroying the First."

Giles "We aren't even sure that the First can be destroyed. But an army of slayers spits in the face of the council."

Buffy, "Yeah, so not caring about that, what right did that group of men have to do what they did. I say if we can it's about time to even the score maybe this way no more girls will face as short a life as the rest. No more single destiny, no more fighting against the darkness alone. What do you say Faith you think we can do it?"

Faith smiles "It's something they aren't going to expect. How long do you think it is going to take Willow to do the spell?

"Well if I had help researching it would go a lot faster there are some things I can't translate maybe Giles or Dawn could help me. If I get some help then I should be ready to cast the spell tomorrow. Then we can deal with the training of the girls and destroying of the army of darkness. Maybe I can get Clark to help you out with getting rid of the vampires."

Buffy "You want Dawn's help? And second tomorrow is good to do the spell the sooner the better I would think. And what does your cousin have to do with this?"

"Well see a friend of his got attacked by the Bringers so he came with her to get some answers from his occult studies cousin. And well Clark is sort of the one that distracted Caleb so that Faith could take the Scythe and cut Caleb's head off."

Spike snorts as he finishes his cup of blood. "More like worked the preacher over and tossed him to Faith when he was done playing."

Willow, "It's not like that he was just doing me a favor helping out with Caleb. And well Faith killed Caleb not Clark."

Faith "Don't regret that one, the accident yes the priest not so much."

Xander "No reason too, he wasn't human any more. Though if you will excuse me I should go help Anya out with the Magic Box she gets a little annoyed if I'm late says it cuts into the revenue or something."

Xander heads off to the magic box. As Chloe and Andrew come walking in still talking about various supernatural groups and such. Chloe "Are there really demons that are afraid of Bunnies?"

Andrew is just about to launch into a long tale when he sees the looks on peoples faces and stops. "Maybe later but for now I have important things to do." He heads off to bother some of the girls about where the remote for the T.V. is.

Chloe "Well I have to say that the experience has been interesting. Hi you must be Buffy, I'm Chloe pleased to meet the eldest slayer and I'm sure you have some stories about your trials."

Clark from the other room, "Not really paper material Chloe." Chloe blinks and remembers that it's not a good paper topic. "They said I was a potential slayer."

Buffy "Ah another one, welcome to the zoo, Willow get on that spell and yes use Dawn if you need to too do the research. But I don't want her doing anything that isn't safe."

Willow "That works for me, Giles you think you can continue researching how to kill the super vamps? I'm going to start on getting that spell to work." Willow heads upstairs to grab Dawn for the research into the spell.

Many hours later with a large amount of help from Dawn and a few paper cuts from both of them they have a completed spell written out as they head down to tell the others that they are ready.

Willow and Dawn find Buffy talking with Clark about defeating Caleb and trying to get his help with the super vampires.

"Well I have another few days being that it's the weekend and Lex doesn't head back until Monday at the earliest. So yeah I'll help you out."

Buffy looks up and sees Willow with the scroll "Ah great I take it that it's done?" Dawn "WE were able to complete the spell, see I'm not useless at some things, and research is fun when it's about the right things."

Buffy, "You are so not going to finish that sentence and no Willow is not going to let you help her with the spell. So don't even ask."

"Find I'll go help Giles with research just call me research girl." Dawn walks off to find Giles.

Chloe walks in carrying a package "Some black guy left this package on behalf of someone called Angel said something about the amulet being able to close the Hell Mouth or something like that. Said that the person that wore it would have to be more then human but have a soul. Not really sure what he meant by that. He said that Angel would be at the motel 6 when you needed his help to use the Amulet. I've got the number here as well." Chloe holds out a piece of paper to Buffy's hand.

Buffy "Well we can use all the help we can get but not sure that he is the right person any more to help us out with this. I mean he has his own problems to deal with and besides Spike has a soul now and should be able to help if he is willing."

Spike "Right you are love, nothing I can't do better then Fluffy anyways. I'll wear that fancy piece of jewelry." Spike's thoughts 'I'll show her I love her.'

Buffy "Good it's settled then. We go deal with the Hellmouth tomorrow after Willow does the spell to turn the potentials to Slayers. Any problems with that plan speak up now." The group remains quiet.

The next night after it's been explained what is going to happen to the girls and they agree. Chloe "Might as well do something to have the power to fight evil otherwise more things will just come for us till we are dead or the world is."

Willow smiles "Now if you will make yourself comfortable." Willow sets the Scythe on the table in front of her. Kennedy watches from the sidelines with the rest of the girls. Xander stands watching his friend with a yellow crayon in his pocket just in case. Remembering all the good times and bad and what will happen to the world if they can't stop the first from taking over the world.

Chloe sits trying to take everything in both the good possibility of slayer strength as well as the bad possibility of monsters killing her. Giles sits hoping that Willow spent enough time in England getting her powers back under control. Dawn watches from behind Buffy no one noticing the sparks of green coming off her hands as she mentally says the spell with Willow.

"Oh goddess hear my plea, use the magic in the Scythe of the Slayers to change the rules let all who have the possibility to be slayers past the age of nine and under the age of thirty become slayers with all the powers that in tales. Vortex of magic in this Scythe I draw you forth." A soft green mist pours off the scroll as it's read.

Willow "Goddess ignore the words and do my will let the potentials be slayers." Willow pulls deeply on the magic in the Scythe and of the worlds to form her wish for the world. A change from the way things were for thousands of years to the way they should have been according to Willow. White light mixed with various colored sparkles travel from Willow to each of the potential slayers and beyond the house beyond the state or country in some cases to travel the worlds changing the destiny of young girls in thousands of places.

Willows hair starts to bleach white as the magic courses through her golden power coming off the scythe until with a final scream Willow collapses.
