"Where did she go?" Piper demanded.
"The underworld." the seer replied. "She searching for something she'll never find."
"A way to bring Chris back?" Paige asked sadly.
"No." The seer said vanishing.
Underworld:
"Come on, you can do better than that." Buffy said blowing up yet another demon as she continued her rampage. "Who's in charge down here?"
"Noone is, there will be noone left down here if you continue this though. The underworld has been in disarray since the sources demise." The seer replied appearing next to her. "A position you would be perfect to fill."
"Oh really?" Buffy asked.
"Yes, I can help you realize your true potential." The seer began.
"And why do I need you?" Buffy asked.
"I can guide you." The seer began.
"There's only one thing I want, and you'll tell me where I can find it." Buffy demanded.
"Or what?" The seer asked. "You'll kill me?"
"There are things worse than death." Buffy replied coldly.
"You wont find what you seek down here, it lies above the surface." The seer replied cryptically.
"Now was that so hard." Buffy said walking away, she paused turning around. Raising her arms she mumbled quietly smirking as the seer blew up staining the walls with her blood. "Didn't see that coming did you? Going up." She said disappearing in a shower of blue orbs.
LA
"What do you mean Chris is dead?" Angel asked stunned. "What about Buffy?"
"Buffy went a little crazy." Willow began.
"Again." Faith added.
"I still don't see what I can do." Angel began.
"We can't save her, but we need your help getting in touch with someone who can." Xander replied.
Manor:
"She's in the underworld?" Piper asked confused.
"Killing demons and this is bad how?" Paige asked.
"You need to stop her." the Elder explained. "Before she destroys the balance."
"And somehow by stop her I don't think you mean give her a stern talking to." Kyle said sarcastically.
"No, she needs to be vanquished, while she still can be." He replied.
"You know what screw you and your precious balance." Piper exclaimed. "My son is dead, because of you! And now you want us to kill Buffy? Clean up your own mess."
"You need to understand." He began.
"No, you need to get this through your thick skull." Piper said furiously. "We don't work for you, not anymore. I'm done, finished. My loyalties to you died when you killed my son."
"Please." He began.
"Get out." Piper shouted. "GET OUT OF MY HOUSE!"
"Leo." He began.
"Just go." Leo said shaking his head.
Up There:
"Well look what we have here." Buffy began glancing around. "You know, I expected more. More what I don't know, just more."
Manor:
"Piper you should sit down." Paige began as Piper paced the sunroom.
"No." Piper cut her off. "We need to save Buffy, I need to focus on that. If I don't...I'll fall apart and I can't do that right now."
"We need to realize wether we like th elders or not, they may be right." Cole replied surprising them all.
"What do you mean?" Paige demanded.
"You may have to vanquish her." Cole replied.
"No, Chris sacrificed himself for her." Leo began stopping suddenly in pain.
"You feel it to?" Kyle asked doubling over in pain.
'What's happening?" Piper asked frantically.
"She's killing them, all of them." Leo said breathlessly.
"Who?" Paige asked.
"The Elders." Kyle groaned clutching his side.
"She's turned." Phoebe said quietly.
"No, she's not evil." Piper insisted.
"You didn't see her eyes, they were..." Phoebe said sadly. "I've never seen anything like it."
"Yes you have." Cole replied. "And she's not evil, not exactly."
"What do you mean?" Piper demanded. "And no more cryptic crap, just say it."
"It's like the seer said, she's not looking for a way to bring Chris back." Cole explained. "She's looking for a way to join him."
"She's trying to die?" Phoebe asked surprised. "Wait, like when you were invincible?"
"Exactly, and she's trying to find someone powerful enough to do just that." Cole replied.
"And The Elders aren't." Piper began.
"No, but if anyone is, it's you three." Kyle replied.
"So, that means she'll be here next." Leo finished ominously.
LA:
"Faith what's wrong?" Zander asked worriedly.
"Where to late." Faith said.
"What do you mean?' Willow demanded.
"The elders are all gone, she killed them." Faith explained.
"No, we can't give up." Willow began.
Oh god no." Faith Exclaimed. "Don't do this B." She said shaking her head sadly.
"What's going on?" Angel demanded.
"She's moved onto her next challenge." Faith replied. "I don't understand, it's like she's looking for a fight that."
"She can't win." Angel finished for her.
"Ok, so Buffy's gone suicidal crazy, but we can still save her." Zander insisted.
"No, because no matter what we do now, she'll never be able to live with herself, not after this." Faith said sadly.
"Where is she?" Zander asked suddenly.
"Cleveland." Faith replied as she waited for the information to sink in.
"Christie." Zander sighed.
"Oh god no, she wouldn't." Willow began.
"What?" Angel asked. "Who's Christie. Why Cleveland, wait there's a hell mouth there, is she going to try and open it or something?"
"Christie's the slayer." Zander replied.
"Buffy's going to fight her." Faith began.
"Buffy's going to Kill her." Zander corrected.
"No, she wouldn't." Willow insisted. "I mean it doesn't make sense."
"Doesn't it?" Faith asked. "She needs someone to kill her and the most powerful people she knows are you guys and the Charmed ones, she needs to do something that will force you to stop her."
"We'll have no choice." Angel sighed.
Manor:
"Stop doing that." Piper demanded as Paige nervously glanced around for the hundredth time.
"I can't help it, I'd wish she'd just show up already." Paige sighed.
"So we can do what?" Phoebe asked. "Are we going to actually kill her?"
"No." Piper replied.
"What if we don't have a choice?" Paige asked.
"No." Piper repeated.
"Piper." Phoebe began.
"No, you know what enough, I'm not sitting around waiting, I'm going to her." Piper declared.
Cleveland:
"Well done." Buffy said as she watched her stake a vampire.
"Who are you?" The girl asked spinning around eyeing the blonde sitting casually sitting on a headstone a few feet away warily.
"You shouldn't drop your shoulder." Buffy said hopping off the headstone and strolling forward. "You give away the element of surprise. So you're the slayer." She said glancing at the small sixteen year old before her.
"What's it to you?" She asked taking a defensive stance.
"Nice attitude," Buffy smirked. "And you've got that go to hell stare down pat. You got a name kid?"
"Christie." She replied as Buffy moved closer.
"Well Christie, I'm Buffy." Buffy said with a cold smile. "How long have you been at it?'
"Huh?" Christie asked confused.
"Slaying?" Buffy said rolling her eyes.
"I've been trained since." Christie began.
"No, I don't mean that." Buffy interrupted. "I mean how long since you went pro."
"About a year why?" Christie asked.
"Then you must be good." Buffy replied.
"I am." Christie said confidently. "What the hell are you?"
"I'm the best." Buffy smirked.
