After Christmas, Dawn told her family all about what had happened in the mountains. Needless to say, they weren't exactly thrilled. She also told them, she let slip the fact that she knew what a Hellmouth was, which also didn't help her from the lectures she recieved about not telling them all sooner. But after a long while, she was able to give them ALL the details and convince them to come to the designated meeting place.

Brian went through his book room and took off all the important volumes and trunks. He took inventory on all the things in there, spell books, demon references, etc. When it came to weapons, he had a considerable collection. Four shotguns, with ammo, six swords, those ancient Japanese weapons, minus the Tetsaiga (SP?), three crossbows, twenty stakes, ten crosses, fifteen daggers, twelve axes and five spears. Luckily, Spike came over to help him get it over to hotel and wait for everyone to come and meet.

"Bloody hell man, why can't you collect like, I don't know, those monster cards I see everyone play around here in this town. "Oh I do, I got a ton of 'em," he said, sticking the trunks and books into his van. "Really? By chance you got a Red Eyes Black Dragon or a Celtic Guardian?" Spike asked him. Brian stared at him, "You play?" he asked, disbelievingly. Spike looked around, "Yeah, I got into it, so did Illyeria, but don't tell Angel or he'll never let me live it down," he told him. "Spike, your dead," Brian chuckled. "You know what I mean," Spike told him. Ishizu, along with Odion, Marik, Malik, Mai and Winry retrieved everything they would need at the meeting, before leaving the museum. "So, are you two brothers?" Winry asked Marik and Malik. They nodded, "Thought so," she said nodding her blonde head.

-Later that night...-

Tea, Ryou, Bakura, Serenity, Ash,Joey, Yami, Yugi, Duke and even the Kaiba brothers entered the hotel lobby and looked around. "Nice place, I wouldn't mind living here for a while," Yugi commented. "Well thanks munchkin, glad you like it," a man with green skin and horns coming out of his head said merrily. "DEMON!" Ryou cried, moving behind the others. "Guys, relax," Brian greeted them, coming downstairs "This is Lorne, yes he is a demon, but he's on our side ok? He won't bite, he'll sing, but won't bite," he said patting Lorne on the back.

Angel, Illyeria, Cordy and Wesley came out from Angel's office to see who was making all the noise. "Guys, this is Cordelia Chase and Wesley Wyndom-Pryce (DID I GET THAT RIGHT?)," Brian introduced his friends to the two humans. Serenity's eyes wandered to Angel and gasped, because she recognized him. "You ok sis?" Joey asked her. Angel looked at her, and nodded, "Glad to see your ok," he said quietly. "This is Angel, leader of the group," Brian said walking to the tall man. "Serenity, I believe you already know him," he grinned.

Joey grew impatient, "Someone mind clueing me in here!" he half yelled. Serenity explained to him, that Angel was the man that saved her from the vamp trio when this all started. "Joey?" a woman's voice rang out. He turned to the kitchen doors to see Mai standing there, eating a slice of pizza. "Mai? What are you doing here?" he asked the blonde duelist/slayer. "I think she's eating pizza, Wheeler," Kaiba scoffed. Now for the sake of me being lazy, they all talk about who's a slayer, they introduce one another and now they're sitting down waiting for the rest.

"Mokuba, what are you doing?" Kaiba asked the raven-haired youth. "I'm gonna show them, Sid. He wants to meet them," he explained, taking out the dummy. Before he could say no, Mokuba picked up Sidand placed him on his lap. "I don't know why, but he looks very familiar," Cordy said thoughtfully, nodding to the dummy. The doors to the hotel opened again and a new group walked in. It was Dawn and the Scoobies. "Uh...why'd you bring your sister and some of the faculty?" Duke asked her. "Because, they're the group I told you about in my story," Faith told him, appearing out of nowhere. Buffy and the others exchanged pleasantries and then gawked at Sid.

"What's wrong guys?" Mokuba asked them. "SID?" Willow asked to no one in particular. The dummy sighed and climbed off of Mokuba's knee and then stood a few feet away on his own, greatly suprising everyone else, including Kaiba, who pretty much moved as far away as possible. "Been a long time, Slayer, how's it going?" the dummy asked, waving at them. "What the crap!"Ash wondered aloud. "Long story," Buffy told him, and once again, cuz this author is lazy, they told everyone about how they met Sid. "So, he's been alive all this time?" Kaiba asked, shakily. "Yup, I wanted to tell you but you wouldn't have believed me," Mokuba told him nervously.

The last group to come was Ishizu, Odion, the Yami and Hikari and Winry. "Hey Winry, where's the two idiots?" Mai asked her fellow Slayer. "They had to go to Central for awhile," she explained, sitting down. "So, everyone's here," Brian said standing up and walking around. "Ok, everyone, here's the 411 on what's going on in our beloved city. Vampire and demons and all kinds of evil are merging here. This is a gathering place for them, anyone know why?" Brian asked the group. "It's because this place is standing on a Hellmouth," Dawn explained. "Bingo, now...so far, we've been clearing out parts of the city one sector at a time, problem is, this Master as he calls himself, keeps trying to kill us. Last time he sent a werewolf after us," Brian continued.

"And we barely made it out of there with our lives," Tea recalled the memory of the worst trip ever. "Right now, the only problem we have is to hunt down the Master before he finds out how to open up the Hellmouth, we kill him, we should be ok for a while," Brian carried on, "Problem is, we have no idea where he is, but what he plans to do is something called the Harvest,". Buffy stepped up, "A Harvest is a gathering of vampires in one large area, feeding on a lot of people,increasing their numbers. Now the last time I've seen a Harvest, a big ugly as hell demon rose up out of the Hellmouth and almost ate us," she said sitting down.

"I know this is important, but what the hell?" Ash asked them. "Be patient, Promised One," Brian waved him off. Ash opened his mouth to talk but, "I'll explain later," Brian swore. "What about Cain? The Red Dude?" Joey asked them. Wesley began reading out of one of Brian's books. "Cain the Protector, he who wears blood on his clothing and a mask of darkness, is the Protector of Vampire Slayers. It says he's been around for quite some time, least a hundred years. He's as strong as a Slayer, and carries an arsenal of weaponry beneath his cloak. It shows a painting of him right here," he showed them pointing to a old picture of a figure in red fighting amongst a Slayer in the midst of Demons. "That's him alright," Bakura nodded.

"I've met him a few times," Brian noted, taking a bite out of a piece of pizza. "Seriously? Like personally?" Yami asked him. "Oh yeah, he's a total bad-ass...nice gear though, pretty rare stuff," he said grinning. "Now, there's a prophecy," Wesley spoke again

Two monsters with souls, two humans of metal and flesh

Holy woman and Demon

Warrior of Light, and Warrior of Darkness

A Great King of Power, and the ones who follow him

The Gate of Hell beckons them, only to devour them

unless she unites them and guides them

They listened to the prophecy, hanging onto every word. "So...what's that got to do wit us?" Joey asked the British mage. (I made him a mage cuz he knows magic) "I'm not entirely sure, but I'm guessing this Gate of Hell it speaks of, is the Hellmouth," he said, scratching his chin. "Well then...what now?" Tea asked everyone in the lobby. "Simple, we hunt the Master down, and get rid of him before he causes anymore damage," Buffy answered.
