Thank for all the reviews, they make me smile. Sadly this story is coming to an end so you wont have to wait long for the answers to all those questions. Anyways back to the craziness that you all seem to like, for some odd reason, I can't figure it out but, here it is.

LA:

"What are we going to do?" Willow asked.

"Take me to Cleveland, I have to save her." Zander demanded.

"This isn't Red on a power trip." Faith said shaking her head. "You can't save her."

"By her do you mean Buffy or Christie?" Willow asked.

"Either, both." Faith replied. "Buffy's beyond our help, and like it or not, it's Christie's job to stop her."

"But she can't, She'll die." Willow replied.

"You all know by now that's just part of the job." Faith shrugged.

"Not like this." Zander began.

"Who are you to say that?" Faith cut him off. "Look, I don't like it either, but it'd the way it goes."

"So what do we do now?" Zander asked frustrated.

"We do what we planned." Angel replied.

"But how will that help?" Zander asked confused. "Buffy will still have done what she's done."

"But, she'll be weakened enough to destroy, which we can't do now." Willow said sadly.

"So we're just going to kill her, this Buffy we're talking about." Zander sighed.

"No, we're not" Angel replied. "I am."

"Angel." Willow began.

"No, I owe her that much." Angel replied.

Cleveland:

"Come on that's all you've got?" Buffy asked slamming Christie's body into the wall of a nearby crypt.

"What the hell?" Piper said as they orbed into the demolished cemetery.

"Over there." Phoebe pointed to the two girls fighting.

"What's going on, who is she?" Paige asked.

"Well seeing as where on the hell mouth, I'm guessing that's the current slayer." Leo replied.

"You'd be right." Faith said orbing in next to him.

"Faith, your alive." Kyle replied surprised.

"Yeah well, I sort of missed B's party up there." Faith replied.

"She's going to kill her." Phoebe said wincing as Christie received another blow from Buffy.

"Oh look, we have an audience." Buffy smirked turning away from her opponent to face them.

"B you don't wanna do this." Faith sighed.

"Well F, actually I do." Buffy replied turning back to her victim. She paused as the headstone in front of her exploded. Spinning back around. "Well look who decided to step in and play hero? You gonna save her? Stop the big bad Buffy?"

"Don't make me do this?" Piper begged.

"I'm not making you do anything." Buffy replied. "I don't recall inviting any of you here." She said turning back to Christie's beaten figure.

"Please." Christie begged.

"Oh you got to be kidding me." Buffy said shaking her head. "Your actually gonna beg."

"I don't want to die." Christie gasped.

"Neither did I, not any of the times but, but I didn't beg." Buffy shrugged. "Have some dignity. Did you beg Faith."

"Buffy." faith began.

"It's a yes or no question." Buffy cut her off smirking as she shook her head. "See even Faith didn't beg."

"I can't watch." Faith said turning away and closing her eyes as Christie's scream of pain was quickly followed by the sound of bones breaking and a sickening gushy sound.

"Why?" Kyle asked running over to the fallen girl.

"Her? I did her a favor." Buffy replied.

"And how is that?" Phoebe asked through her tears as she sobbed for the poor teen.

"She was gonna die anyways, the longer she lived the more it would hurt." Buffy shrugged.

"How can you do this?" Piper demanded.

"Everyone has their breaking point, this is mine." Buffy replied calmly. "Gonna stop me now?"

"We're not going to help you commit suicide." Paige spat.

"You sure, I don't have anything left to lose, but you do." Buffy replied orbing out and reappearing behind Wyatt. Before anyone could react she had a dagger to his throat. "You lost one son today, wanna go for broke and lose them both?" She was thrown back as Wyatt activated his shield.

"Cute trick, I wonder of your cousins would be so lucky." Buffy asked dusting herself off as she stood. "Haven't seen the little brats in a while. Where are they? Safely tucked away at magic school I bet."

"You stay the hell away from them." Paige demanded.

"Make me." Buffy replied.

"Crystals." Paige shouted as they formed a cage around Buffy. Phoebe grabbed her hand holding her other one out for Piper.

"Piper!" Phoebe shouted as She stood unmoving.

"We have too." Paige added. Piper nodded walking over to the cage.

"I know, but I'm sorry." Piper said turning to her sisters. "I just can't." She said kicking a crystal away as the cage fell she pulled a small vial out of her pocket fingering it carefully. She stood face to face with the Slayer.

"Piper!" Leo shouted she turned freezing him as he rushed over.

"I'm sorry." Piper said gazing into Buffy's cold eyes as she through the vial at her. They all watched waiting as the potion took effect. "That's all I can do, I wont kill you."

"What did you do?" Phoebe asked as Piper returned to their side and Buffy fell to her knees screaming in agony.

"Stripped her powers." Piper replied. "Well Chris's anyways."

"How?" Paige asked stunned.

"I made it a long time ago...just in case." She said unsurely glancing at her son.

"It's ok, I understand." Wyatt shrugged. "But, are you sure it will work."

"Yes." Piper nodded sadly.

"It's not enough," Paige replied. "She'll still be...well dangerous for lack of a better term."

"She's just the slayer now." Piper replied.

"Just The slayer?" Phoebe asked shaking her head. "Somehow not comforting."

"I know, but I can't." Piper said tearfully.

"You don't have to." Faith said placing a hand on her shoulder. "You've done enough."

"What Faith, care to take another shot at it?" Buffy asked as the pain faded and she slowly stood.

"Not me B." Faith said Waving her hand. "Your on." She said as a figure appeared.

"How fitting." Buffy replied. "Now if only..." She trailed off as a sword orbed into her hand. "I should have known it would end like this." She said as she took a defensive stance.

"Don't hold back." Angel replied.

Memories consume

Like opening the wound

I'm picking me apart again

You all assume

I'm safe here in my room

Unless I try to start again

"Wouldn't dream of it, Lover." Buffy smirked as he attacked. Angel grunted as he was knocked to the ground beside the body of the young slayer he glanced at the beaten form surrounded by it's own blood most of which flowed from a very deliberate stab wound. A wooden stake protruding from her chest cavity lodged in her once beating heart.

"Messy." Angel said turning his attention back to his opponent. "But points for style."

"I knew you'd appreciate the irony." Buffy replied as she ducked an attack.

"I can't watch this." Piper said walking away.

"Mom." Wyatt called jogging to catch up. "What if we can fix this."

"I don't think even we can, not now." Paige sighed.

"Ok, maybe fix is the wrong word. But, what if we don't have to lose them both." Wyatt explained.

"I'm not following." Phoebe said confused.

"Remember the story you told me, about Aunt Billy and her sister." Wyatt asked.

"What does that have to do with anything?" Paige began.

"What's your plan?" Piper cut her off.

"We go back, to before Zanku is vanquished." Wyatt replied. "If we stop Buffy from dying then.."

"Like How Piper saved us." Phoebe realized. "It could work."

"It's worth a try." Leo nodded.

"Ok, we need the book." Piper said with renewed determination.

"Kyle." Faith called.

"Go ahead." Kyle waved them off. "I'll be right there."

"Hurry." Paige replied as they orbed out.

"You know as well as I do that if Buffy doesn't die, Chris wont find the power he needs to vanquish Zanku and, then you'll all die." Faith said solemnly.

"I know." Kyle sighed. "I'm her white lighter, it's my job to protect her."

Manor:

"Ok we're ready." Piper asked.

"But, wait how are we doing this without Coop's ring?" Paige asked. "You used that last time."

"But we have the power of three this time." Piper explained as they joined hands. "This spell should take us back right before Buffy's death, we'll be in our past self's bodies, but know what's going on."

"Let's do it." Phoebe replied.

"Destiny changed by magic's mistake, shift us now through time and space." They chanted.

"Paige! Phoebe!" Piper called surprised to find herself still in the manor.

"What the hell is going on?" Paige asked walking downstairs as the phone rang.

"I don't know," Piper Shrugged.

"I'm ok." Phoebe said rushing in the front door.

"Where were you?" Paige asked.

"Walking in from my car." Phoebe replied glancing at her watch. "Why is it night?"

"I don't know." Piper replied. "LEO!"

"Where is he?" Paige asked. "And Wyatt."

"I don't know, but maybe we should just find Buffy." Phoebe replied. "I'll scry."

"Mom." Wyatt called.

"Thank god..What the hell!" Piper screamed.

"I think we were a little vague." Wyatt shrugged.

"You a ghost." Paige exclaimed.

"Not exactly." Wyatt replied. "I just don't have a body..yet."

"What do you mean?" Piper asked.

"Follow me." Wyatt replied. "I found Buffy."

"Where are we?" Phoebe groaned walking through the dank sewer.

"Shh." Wyatt said as they ducked out of the way just in time to see Buffy walk by holding the hand of a small boy.

"Nice dress." Paige whispered. "Why didn't the spell work?"

"It did, just not." Piper paused as the ground shook beneath them.

"She's dead." Wyatt sighed. "Or was, this is her first death, or so I'm guessing."

"You'd be right." Leo said orbing in with a mortal Kyle.

"Nice suit." Phoebe teased.

"Don't mock the feds." Kyle replied rolling his eyes.

"So we just need to rework the spell." Piper began as they were all suddenly sucked away again.

I don't want to be the one

The battles always choose

'Cause inside I realize

That i'm the one confused

"Where are we now?" Paige groaned.

"Um hello." Wyatt called.

"Where are you?" Piper asked.

"Down here." Wyatt replied. As Piper looked down and jumped slightly.

"Well I have a body this time." Wyatt shrugged from his toddler form.

"Ok, when are we now?" Paige asked.

"Avatars." Phoebe said realizing. "The spell must have fast forwarded us to her next death."

"Which means Kyle is..." Paige trailed off.

"and Leo is with Buffy." Phoebe replied.

"We just need to wait." Piper said sadly.

"For what?" Paige began to ask as the world changed again.

I don't know what's worth fighting for

Or why I have to scream

I don't know why I instigate

And say what I don't mean

I don't know how I got this way

I know it's not alright

So I'm breaking the habit

Tonight

"Buffy no." Leo screamed but the slayer was no longer beside him.

"Leo." Piper said approaching cautiously.

"I'm ok." Leo said whipping away his tears. "It was surreal you know, to watch it again."

"I know, it'll be ok." Piper sighed. "We'll make this work."

"I guess this is number three." Paige said walking into the sunroom."

"Which means Kyle should be here soon." Phoebe added.

"Wait, are you sure he came with us, I mean he wasn't all spirty like Wyatt during the last one." Paige asked nervously.

"Well techincally he had a body." Piper began. "Leo?"

"I don't know." Leo admitted.

"We need to find him now!" Paige demanded.

"Ok, if he's here, I know where he'd be." Leo replied. "Where's Wyatt?"

"Napping." Piper said with a smirk. "The elfin Nanny's here."

"Ok, let's go." Leo replied.

"Where are we?" Paige asked. "This place is creepy."

"The hell mouth." Leo replied. "Before Buffy destroyed it."

"You made it." Kyle said dryly stepping out of the shadows.

"Thank god your ok." Paige said throwing her arms around him.

"Ok, the next ones it." Piper replied. "We have to change it or we'll just get sucked back to right before Angel kill her."

"If he succeeds that is." Leo added.

"Let's hope we never have to find out." Phoebe replied.

"Everyone know what they have to do?" Piper asked.

"Kyle?" Paige asked. Kyle nodded half listening. He knew what she was saying. Dawn told him once long ago. His heart bled for the two girls that should have never been forced into such a situation.

"Buffy!" Dawn's scream captured all their attention and they looked just in time to watch Buffy dive off the tower into the portal.

"I know what I have to do." Kyle replied as the world once again changed.

Clutching my cure

I tightly lock the door

I try to catch my breath again

I hurt much more

Than anytime before

I had no options left again

"Where back at the manor." Paige said glancing around.

"Buffy Chris and Wyatt must be down there." Piper began. "Let's go."

"Wait, what are we going to do?" Phoebe asked.

"Save Buffy." Leo replied.

"But how?" Phoebe asked.

"We need to do this right, to make it work." Paige added.

"She has to die, or else Chris wont find the power to destroy Zanku." Kyle said suddenly.

"What do you mean?" Piper demanded.

"We have to let this play out as it did." Kyle began.

"No." Piper cut him off.

"Hold on." Kyle explained. "We let Zanku attack her, Paige can orb her out of there right before she dies, Chris wont realize she's alive and will be able to vanquish Zanku, and I can heal her."

"That could work." Leo mused.

"Then let's go." Piper demanded.

"Nice off you to show up." Wyatt groaned struggling to his feet.

"We have a plan." Piper began.

"So you said last time." Wyatt groaned.

I'll paint it on the walls

'Cause i'm the one at fault

I'll never fight again

And this is how it ends

"Buffy." Chris groaned shifting slightly just in time to see her land beside him. "Buffy." He said more alert when she didn't respond. "BUFFY." He called shaking her. "Buffy wake up." He begged.

"I guess you were right." Zanku smirked. "You didn't die."

"I told you to keep your hands off her." Chris said standing unsteadily.

"Or what, you'll bleed on me?" Zanku laughed.

"You son of a bitch." Chris screamed throwing up his hands Zanku braced himself to be thrown but, noone expected what happened next.

"Now." Kyle shouted. As Paige orbed Buffy to them as Wyatt put up his shield.

"Not again." Piper cried as she felt the fanilam tug as the world started to shift but, just as soon as it started it stopped. They didn't go anywhere, they stopped it, the changed the past now, Once again they waited for the dust to clear.

I don't know what's worth fighting for

Or why I have to scream

But now I have some clarity

To show you what I mean

I don't know how I got this way

I'll never be alright

So I'm breaking the habit

Breaking the Habit

Tonight

"What are you doing here? Why am I here? What's going on?" Angel asked confused. "Buffy?"

"Do you remember?" Kyle asked placing the slayer down on the worn couch in Angels office.

"Yes, but..." Angel trailed off.

"We don't have much time." Kyle said hurriedly.
