"This is wonderful a nice quiet night you're not trying to kill me and Angel wont turn evil, so we have a good five months till the mayor shows up", stated Buffy as she walked through the dark cemetery with Spike

"Very true just don't forget about school and your Mother", answered Spike

"Good point but I don't want to think about that right now", said Buffy as they were approached by white horned demon

"The all knowing slayer does not know with out being told, Adeo Datus will destroy you all", replied the demon as it charged at the two

"Okay that was odd", stated Spike as the two snapped the demons neck

"I think for once we have to talk to Giles about something", added Buffy as the demon dissolved in to white goo

Library

"So you've never heard of this Adeo Datus", asked Jenny as she looked up from her computer and saw everyone looking through books

"None of us have, which is odd since we're from the future", stated Willow as she looked up from her book

"And I though research party were a thing of the past or future, oh what ever", replied Xander as he slammed his book shut

"Well in every time line there are an infinite number of possible courses and the changes you've made could have had a ripple affect, so this Adeo Datus took notice", said Giles as he continued to look at his book

"I've found it, Adeo Datus given by god", laughed Jenny as she looked at her computer

"Good then we can go home now", asked Anya as she closed her book

"Not good, he is a kind of ancient judge he controlled the balances of good and evil until the day he turned the tides so evil had more power. He lost his position but he retained his power. When ever he feels a great good he destroys it and replaces it with evil", stated Jenny

"So what do we do now we don't want an anti Buffy running around", asked Tara

"We wait until he strikes there's no way of tracking him, he stays in a hell dimension when he's not spreading evil", answered Jenny

"I say since there's nothing we can do we go home and get some sleep and hopefully not have that many nightmare", replied Xander as he stood up

"Bye see you in the morning which it's almost", said Willow as everyone walked out except for Jenny, Giles, Spike and Buffy

"Giles she's not going to wait forever make a move she does like you, you know", whispered Buffy as she walked past Giles and to Spike

"When the teens are away the librarian and the computer teacher will play", laughed Spike as Buffy and he walked out

Summers Residence

"Buffy Anne Summers where have you been", screamed Joyce as Buffy tried to sneak through the back door

"I'm sorry Mom", whispered Buffy as she lowered her head

"Go to your room you're grounded for the next two weeks", said Joyce as she pointed towards the stair

"What happen Buffy", asked Dawn as Buffy reached her bedroom door

"A new evil that we haven't expected", answered Buffy then she closed herself in her room

"Well if it isn't the little slayer all alone and vulnerable, when you're all alone you're just a scared little girl and when your friends are alone they're just scared little kids", laughed a green man as he stood in front of Buffy

"Who are you and what do you want", asked Buffy as she stepped forward

"Adeo Datus and I actually want you", answered the man as he held his hand straight out, producing a green glow that consumed Buffy

"Listen greeny I don't know what you're trying to do but let me the hell go", screamed Buffy and the man complied

"Buffy what's the matter with you", replied Joyce as she opened Buffys bedroom door

"Mom run", whispered Buffy from the floor as a gray version of her self stood above her

"Don't worry she's not who I want", laughed the gray Buffy as she blinked out and two seconds later they heard Dawn screaming

"Dawn", said Joyce as she opened her youngest daughters room to see the gray Buffy holding her as she blinked out of the house

"Mom please I know you're confused but please call Sarah and tell her that I need the others now", stated Buffy as she struggled to stand

"Okay", replied Joyce as she ran down the stairs

"Why the hell did he take Dawn", voiced Buffy as she stumbled out the room

"They'll be here soon but something happened to Spike, Anya and Willow like what happen to Dawn, now will you tell me what the hell is going on", said Joyce as she walked back up the stairs and helped Buffy down

"If everything turns out right by the end of this I'll explain everything but something bad is happening and I believe we're all in danger", replied Buffy as the door slammed open and Sarah and Tara came in

"She took Willow she said she needed an army and she took Willow", cried Tara

"It's going to be okay we're going to find them and bring them back", stated Buffy as Xander came in

"What happen where's Anya she can't be dead again", said Xander looking to the others for help

"Thank you Sarah for calling us, we thought this could wait until morning but apparently not", replied Jenny as she and Giles walked in and he closed the door

"Apparently Adeo Datus just doesn't destroy good and replaces it with evil, he uses the good to create the evil and he becomes the evil", added Giles

"And we need to stop the evil Buffy before she creates her army or it will kill Buffy, fortunately it takes time to transformation each person into their evil form, so this gives us time to find everyone", stated Jenny

"So how are we going to find them and how do we fix them once they're turned evil", asked Xander as he rung his hands

"Sarah, Mrs. Calendar, Tara can we do a tracking spell", asked Buffy

"Of course the three of us combining our powers should be enough", replied Sarah

"For the changing back you just have to remind them of things that make them connected to you and good", stated Jenny

"Mom stay here I'll be back here soon and Dawn will be with me", said Buffy as she looked at her Mother

"Buffy this is crazy, how are you going to save Dawn", asked Joyce

"I'll explain everything when we get back", comforted Buffy as the group walked out

Sarah, Jenny, and Tara lead the way searching out their friends while Buffy followed behind with the help of Giles and Xander. The three witches stopped once they were outside a regular old house about a mile from the Summers house.

"Talk about hiding in plain sight", stated Xander as they walked up to the door and Tara busted it in with a burst of wind.

"Well you're just in time to see my army complete they're so rearing to go I had to chain them to the floor", laughed the evil Buffy as she turned Dawn into a ball of glowing green energy

"Let the spell be end", replied Tara and to that the evil Buffy disappeared and Buffy stood up straight

"Just as simple as when Xander was turned into two", said Sarah as they turned they're attention to their friends

"Okay listen to me Dawn your not really the green key you're a person a little girl and you have to come back to us you can't open any portals just think of Mom please", stated Buffy as she looked at the ball of energy

"What's going on", asked Dawn as she returned to human form and fell to the ground

"Don't worry Dawn everything's going to be okay we have other things to worry about now", replied Buffy as she turned her attention to the people in chains

"There's to much pain in this world I need to end it, there's so much loss everyone would be better off dead", yelled Willow with black eyes and veiny skin

"I'll rip out your entrails slayer and wear them as a belt", said Spike as he struggled against the bonds

"Men are all alike you woman should take vengeance on them just wish it and I'll make it so", laughed Anya whose skin was mutated into deep crevices

"Sweetie you don't believe that I know you like owning the Magic Box and being human with me remember the juice box in the basement last time around", asked Xander as he bent down in front of the chained Anya

"Money, Xander and Money they make me happy", smiled Anya as her skin returned to normal

"Spike you don't want to be my enemy again remember kick the Spike and how much you hated that or all the times I broke your nose, you don't want that again and I love you and you love me", stated Buffy causing Spike to loose his vampire face and return human

"Willow honey I know the world is painful but together we can face it and I swear I'm not going to die on you again so please come back to me", cried Tara as she hugged Willow bringing her back to normal

"The power of love", replied Jenny as they watched the chained people being freed

"And speaking of love I was wonder if you'd", started Giles then he paused

"What is it", asked Jenny

"Would you um go out on a date with me Saturday", asked Giles

"I'd love to", replied Jenny as they walked out leaving the others

Summers Residence

"Is everything okay, what happened", asked Joyce as Sarah opened the door

"Everything's fine just like Buffy said", answered Sarah as Buffy came in with Dawn over her shoulder and helping Spike walk on the other side

"Is it all right if the five of us stay for the night", asked Xander as he carried Anya in, followed by Tara helping Willow

"Sure", replied Joyce as everyone sat in the living room

"Everyone get settled in for the night, I'm going to put Dawn in her bed and then have a talk with Mom", said Buffy as she helped Spike in a chair

"Good luck love", stated Spike

"And don't you dare run away and change your name to Annie", laughed Xander as Buffy walked up the stairs

"Thanks for saving me from your evil twin Buffy and good luck with Mom", replied Dawn as Buffy tucked her in bed

"No problem what's the use of having a big sis as the slayer if she doesn't save you", smiled Buffy as she turned out the lights then walked out of the room and headed for the kitchen

"Please explain cause this has been a very long night", stated Joyce as she sat at the kitchen counter

"When I was fifteen I was called on by an organization called the Watchers Council, they told me I was what was called the Vampire Slayer and they told me the story of the slayer. Into each generation a slayer is born one girl in all the world a chosen one one born with the strength and skill to hunt the vampires to stop the spread of evil. I learned that most monsters that I thought were fairy tales were real and I could destroy them and save people", said Buffy as she looked at her mothers confused expression

"How can this be, can't someone else be this Slayer", asked Joyce

"Well think of all the times you've found blood on my clothes and the only way another slayer is called is if I die and there's more", answered Buffy

"What more can there be", replied Joyce

"I've lived my life once and I was killed when I was twenty two, The Powers That Be or gods gave us the opportunity to change things make our lives better since we were champions of good and we gave our lives for the good fight", said Buffy as her mother got up and started pacing

"You said one girl but now you say we", stated Joyce

"You see slayers come with a very short expiration date most don't live past eighteen but I was different I made friends who helped me Willow and Tara are good witches, Xander has no special powers but what one evil said is he sees things, Anya was a vengeance demon who was expelled and decided to help on the good side, and Spike was a vampire, a government organization called the Initiative made it so he couldn't hurt humans and after a while he wanted to be good so he got his soul back. Then we come to Dawn she was sent to me by monks to protect because she opens the portal to all hell demotions. All but Willow and Xander were sent to their 1993 bodies, we gave their memories of the other life to them about a month after we moved here and we're all tight again", answered Buffy

"So there's no way of stopping you from fighting evil and that gray version of you is gone", asked Joyce as she stopped pacing

"Yes on both accounts fighting evil is what I do best it's my job and I also get paid for it", smiled Buffy

"How much do you get paid", replied Joyce

"Four hundred a week and I already have about 30, 000 in the bank so does every one of us teens including Dawn. It's good when you know most of the things that are going to happen takes the hazard out of it, tonight was only the second when we didn't know of an evil coming", said Buffy as Joyce sat down

"Okay I'm going to try to adjust to this but I'm not making any promises", stated Joyce

"Then can you promise me something else when you start having bad headaches and dizziness go straight to the doctor, I don't want to find you again", replied Buffy
