Author's notes: I don't own anything but the plot and any characters you might later see that you don't recognize.

As Buffy and Clark start to move to catch Willow they realize that Xander as already beaten them to her to catch her as she falls. Willow blinks up at Xander as she tries to figure out where she is.

"Anyone get the license plate of the demon that just walked over me a few times? I can feel all the new slayers they're all around the world." Willow blinks a few times and shakes her head. "Buffy we might have a problem at some later date the spell wasn't quite perfect but we should have enough to fight the first now."

"What do you mean something wrong with the potentials? Do they have full slayer powers?"

"Relax B I'm sure that once Willow shakes the cobwebs out that she will tell us why she thinks something was wrong with the spell."

Willow looks over at Dawn then back at Buffy and Faith. "Well I think we are going to have a lot of work ahead of us collecting Slayers from all of the various places in the worlds that they live in. There were a lot more potentials then the watchers knew about. But does anyone have any aspirin?"

Faith "We didn't say finding them all would be easy but that's tomorrow's problem, so maybe we should figure out if the girls here have a full slayer's power. Also B I think we need to talk about something after we figure that out."

Buffy smiles and holds out the Troll hammer to Chloe "See if you can lift that."

Chloe takes the Troll hammer and with a surprised look on her face gives it a few experimental swings. "That's so cool, definitely weird but cool regardless I have to be stronger then most of the jocks in school now." Chloe laughs as she passes the Trolls hammer to a glaring Kennedy.

Kennedy smiles as she also takes a few swings and then reluctantly passes the hammer around to the other girls to get an idea of strengths of the girls.

Clark notes that some of the girls have more difficulty with swinging the hammer around then others but each of the now slayers can easily lift the hammer. "Well at least you aren't going to ask me to open the pickle jar anymore Chloe."

Chloe smiles, "Well I guess that's true enough though maybe now and then just because."

Faith, "Not that it's not interesting seeing the world get change and get better and all of that but we have the First Evil to destroy. And a bunch of super vamps to destroy okay remember your training girls and remember that the vampires in this case are stronger then you as well as more resistant to damage so we are going to have to be fast and hit them hard while Spike does his thing and uses the Amulet to seal the Hellmouth. Hopefully once this is over we can take stock of things and figure out how the world changed. But for now I suggest we use the next few hours to rest as much as possible and pack. I have a feeling that once we destroy the Hellmouth bad things are going to happen."

Clark "Well I'll give you a hand with the vampires if you want I mean it is the least I can do to help with averting bad things happening and such. Besides I don't get to see vampires back in Smallville."

Kennedy with a slight sneer in her voice, "How much help do you think you are going to be able to give anyways we are Slayers now we have all the help we need."

Willow frowns at Kennedy as she gets up off the floor from where she collapsed, "Hey now no reason to not take any help we can get and besides Clark helped with Caleb something that Buffy was having issues with, no offense Buffy but I think he has proven himself able to take care of bad things at least as well as the new slayers. Faith and Buffy have a few more bad things killed under their belt but that's because they were on a Hellmouth."

"Well said we should take every person we can find, but hey B we should talk." Faith heads into the other room closes the door and begins talking quietly though not so quietly that Clark couldn't hear what was being said.

Faith "B did you feel that jolt of power when Willow cast the spell? I feel stronger faster too then I did before you think we got an added bonus from the spell?"

Buffy "I'm not sure though it would be nice I do feel a bit stronger but not sure if that's cause I have hope that we can close the Hellmouth or if it's because of the spell, so I figure we go down to the Hellmouth destroy as many super vamps as possible before Spike uses the necklace that Angel sent to close the gates of Hell. You think we have a shot?"

Faith sighs, "I'm not sure normally I would say no, an army of super vampires that are hard to kill plus whatever else the first has access to plus the fact that it is inside the Hellmouth and we would have to go down there to battle them unless we want them coming up here. But we have a large group of Slayers willing to fight and we have Willow's cousin."

Buffy "You trust him, I mean you said he helped with Caleb but well I don't know. He isn't a slayer and where did he get his power?"

Faith "He took Caleb apart with his fists B, He took a hit from Caleb with little more reaction then stepping back to look at him like he was an idiot. Caleb tossed you through a wall B so that takes some doing. And I trust Willow when she says that he has a good heart. Besides we are still hopelessly out numbered. We are going to need Angel B okay I agree that Spike earned his chance to save the day with the necklace but damn it B Angel is one of the best fighters we have. Two hundred years fighting experience we can't afford to turn that down. Get over your problems with him and allow him to help us save the day, you can go back to baking or what ever your issues with him are afterwards."

Buffy scowls at Faith "Alright then we call Angel and get his help then once the First is gone we worry about setting up a new headquarters for the slayers and watcher's council this time a better one."

"And we get rid of that damned drug. I hate the thought of that drug."

Buffy shudders, "Not my favorite either, I'll make the call to Angel and then we start prepping."

Buffy walks over to the phone and starts dialing as Faith walks back out to the other room.

Willow is now sitting in a chair looking much better other then a few locks of white in her red hair.

"I think you're getting old before your time Red, maybe we need to start on a new set of nicknames for you."

Willow laughs, "Well it is better then the black that comes with bad magic in its place. I think we stand a chance now, so what do you think you are going to do after this first thing is over?"

"Well I figure the principal and I collect our marching orders and head out unless we end up teachers for the school for slayers that we are going to have to build. So I'm not sure, I don't really want to go back to prison to pay my dept when I can work on paying it killing demons but if I have too I have too. I'll see how it goes with that."

Willow shudders "You and me both on that one though I don't really like to think of Warren much, I'm just glad that Buffy stopped me before I killed an innocent person like Andrew, well most days I am."

Faith laughs, "Well there have been a few times I wanted to hit him, though he is getting better. Hopefully in a few years he will be all grown up and reformed. Besides who are we to judge people for mistakes we both have a few of them."

Xander "Well I should get a hold of Anya so she can get ready and help us out once we get there. Hopefully she will have some more ideas for how to deal with the vampires."

"That sounds good I'm going to get a few spell materials together so that when we get down there I'll have something useful to use."

Kennedy is sitting over on one of the chairs that were pulled up from the basement. "So what are we going to do about weapons? I mean I'm not sure that normal swords and things are going to cut it."

Xander looks at Kennedy "Well I might be able to talk Anya into selling us some things that could work though I'm not sure we have the money to outfit the crew. I'm not sure there is that much money in some small countries."

Kennedy "What and she won't give you a deal?"

Faith starts laughing, "You obviously haven't spent enough time with Anya if you think that anything will get in the way of her capitalist dreams of money and power."

Xander "Yep that's my Anya, now if your excuse me I should get to that phone. Are you going to be okay Willow?"

Willow smiles "Yes daddy I'm going to be just fine now get a move on."

People move off and make calls last preparations and pack some things incase the worst happens and they have to flee running. Out on the back porch Clark and Chloe are having a chat about the realities of the fight that is going to happen.

Clark "You sure you want to do this? I mean there is nothing that says you are going to be okay, I mean Buffy was scared so was Faith they did a good job hiding it but still it was there."

"I'm not going to go home and pretend that nothing happened that I don't have the power to help people now, could you just walk away from helping people go on about your life without worrying about helping others any more, even after everything that happened you still want to help people."

"Yeah I guess it's who we are now."

"We can make a difference and I think after this I want to learn how to fight so that I can help you with the Smallville problems. I mean there are dangers all over the place so we might as well be prepared but I can't leave knowing that I had the power to help but didn't cause I was too scared or not concerned enough, could you live with yourself if you did that?"

Clark shakes his head, "No I couldn't so I don't figure the star reporter of the Torch could either besides I'm sure you want to unravel more secrets and things that you weren't aware of."

Chloe smiles "Okay so that is one of the reasons I want to do this, but another reason is it allows me the chance to help you out to give back for all the times you helped me. I know what you are going to say that I don't owe you anything but it still feels like it."

Clark smiles "No I was going to say that you still owe me a dollar fifty for the coffee at the airport. And yes the rest of the stuff doesn't matter."

Chloe laughs "Sure remember that, but I think the fight will go well enough with everyone helping out. I'm just hoping that things go well are you okay with destroying vampires?

"Well as long as they aren't nice and bent on killing humans I don't see a choice so no real issues here." Clark leans back enjoying the quiet of the outside rather then the hustle and bustle that is inside the Summer's home.

Dawn is looking around her room thinking "Pull yourself together Dawn there are probably a few reasons that Willow was sending off green sparks and that something went wrong with the spell. At least it seemed to have worked though why she was looking at me funny when she said there might be a problem later I'm not sure. Okay well don't worry about that just worry about packing things. Will I did help with the spell so maybe something went wrong with that, I'll ask her later." Dawn starts packing pictures and other essentials into a duffle bag. Pausing a minute to look down at one of her mother, sister and her before packing it away. "Well at least this way I'll have something to remember mom by." Sets a few changes of clothes in and then starts packing books into another bag. "Giles would kill me if I let anything happen to these." Dawn takes a last look around, before grabbing a few more items then heading downstairs to watch the rest of the people pack what little clothes and such things they have. Dawn thinks, 'Well I have more then some of the girls do we are going to have to go shopping when we get out of this.'

Buffy walks through the living room a while later looking around at the young girls. Buffy's thoughts as she looks around, 'I'm leading children into battle in some desperate attempt to win against the First Evil, I'm not really sure if we even can win but with a number of slayers and such there is a chance. Though what choice do we have it's our destiny. How am I supposed to keep as many girls from getting killed as possible? I wish I could figure out a way to stop them all without getting people killed.'

Xander smiles as he sneaks through the military's back gates with hardly a fuss and a good pair of bolt cutters. Xander looks around with a slightly bitter smile on his face while whispering to himself, "Well I might have to thank Ethan for those solders memories one of these days. Now where is the armory located?" Xander looks around seeing a deserted yard with a few Jeeps and tanks just sitting around. "Ah good old Sunnydale well this should make things easier."

Faith works her way through the fence as well. "You sure this is going to work Xander? I mean the military doesn't just let people leave with their supplies."

"Oh it will work out just fine less people even then when I stole the rocket launcher. So yeah it will work so let's get with the looting before worse things come along, and yes it's the First's fault for scaring all the people away this time so we might as well use this chance to even the score. No one hurts my girls! And being that I don't have slayer strength or anything close I plan to burn the vampires with flamethrowers and explosives as well as blowing holes in their kneecaps with shot guns."

Faith blinks a few times and looks at Xander, "You know I think you are the most dangerous of the Scoobies even Giles doesn't think about blowing up demons with heavy explosives or anything like that."

Xander "Remember I'm the normal one. I have to get creative to help out the gang being that I'm not much good at research and all of that. But we are wasting time lets load up a few things then steal err borrow a jeep from the parking lot to carry the weapons in, well let's make that a covered military jeep I always wanted to drive one of those.

Faith smiles, "I take that back you haven't changed that much." Xander grins as he and Faith works their way into the area with the weapons storage vaults and begins a process of looting the vaults for usable weapons; flamethrowers combat shotguns and various amounts of C-4 as well as a few other useful things.

Buffy looks up as she hears the honking of a bus as it pulls into the driveway. Clark, Buffy and Spike walk out to see Principal Wood get out of the bus with a smile. "It is transportation with a smile."

Buffy looks around not seeing Fred anywhere. "Where is Faith I thought she was with you getting the transportation? Good choice with the bus by the way."

Wood, "Thanks Faith got drafted by Xander for a project he was working on, said he needed some one with slayer strength to carry a few things, something about some plan to make me and him useful against the uber vamps, I asked if he needed my help but he said that getting the bus was important he should be along before too long."

Buffy smiles, "If Xander said it would help then it should, we leave when he gets back, Angel is meeting us on the way."

Spike "Bloody puffer what do we need him for."

Buffy "We need everyone we can use to kill the uber vamps." Spike heads back in grumbling.

Clark, "Well it seems like things are looking up I mean you have a good force of people even if it seems strange that we are going to hell to take out the vampires. I guess it can't be helped definitely wall of weird material. I'll go help the girls toss there stuff into the bus not that they need the help but more people helping the faster it goes."

Buffy nods as Clark heads off. Buffy frowns as Willow and Anya drive up in her beaten up old car. Willow and Anya hope out. Anya "Okay Buffy, Willow with threats of Bunnies," Anya shudders, "has convinced me that letting uber vamps take over the world is bad for profit so I'll loan you some mystical weapons for the girls if you sign a contract that you will pay for them if the girls break them, I know how you slayers are with weapons. None of them are anywhere near the Troll's hammer or the Slayers scythe I don't suppose you would sell those would you? But they should be better then your extra weapons are. So what do you think you want to rent some of the weapons?"

Willow glares at Anya, "I can still turn your clothes to Bunnies and curse you with a spell that attracts them to you, so just hand over the weapons you will get paid once this is all over and we can reimburse you with watcher council funds."

Anya grumbles, "Enough with the Bunny threats. The weapons are in the trunk."

Buffy "Weapons good." Buffy smiles with a kid in a candy store look in her eyes.

"They are on loan with generous payment plans if the girls want to own them for later." Anya opens the trunk so that the boxes of weapons can be seen.

Willow reaches in and takes out a pair of silver mesh gloves set with a number of large crystals in the palms of the gloves. "These are mine, hopefully they work like they are supposed too, should help with the magic in the Hellmouth thing."

Buffy looks through the weapons too absorbed in looking through the weapons to notice Willow putting the gloves on. Or to really think about what they do that makes them a weapon. Buffy smiles and lifts the crate out of the trunk and starts passing out the weapons.

Willow to Anya "You know we are trying to save the world and you still argue about price."

Anya smiles "I have faith that things will work out and that the gang will be around to pay me, and if I gave you a break every time the world was going to end then I wouldn't make any money."

Willow sighs then smiles as Faith and Xander drive up in a military Jeep.

Wood "So you got what you were looking for Xander?"

"Faith helped me load it all up. We got enough stuff to take out a small army, though something tells me it is not going to be small once we get there. But I got flamethrowers for Wood, Andrew and I so we should be good for taking out some vamps."

The new slayers started filing into the bus. A grumbling spike filed on the bus as well happy that he was going to get to kill some monsters. Wood kisses Faith before getting into the driver's seat again. Anya hauls Andrew into the bus and away from Xander's jeep of death. Willow gets into the jeep with Faith and Xander. Everyone heads towards the school.
