AN: Here goes the next part of this. I keep on getting ideas on continuing this fic and as long as that happens, this will keep on going. It's rather short but it fills in several gaps.


Unknown: I like it that you took the time to review, but my views on it match several people in that in Buffy basically anyone without powers became a joke for the last several seasons. Giving him abilities that don't show up in the actual series is something that I find as interesting. For cars and such not being melee weapons, well they aren't designed for them, but for superpowered fights, they are quite often used as them, plus they are good flor turning enemies into pancakes. Environmental weaponry makes things much more fun. As for greatly exagerating traits, well, I am somewhat, but they didn't have people to keep them in check as much. I would view the traits of Willow and Buffy to be along the lines of them being the ones that were demanding power especially since Willows magic power wasn't put in check later on.

Mr. Mysterious: I like granting him powers, when I wrote Villain I hadn't really used Villain X much in the games and when I did this stories idea came up and stayed in my head, and a lot of this comes from the group I was running switching from maintaining a more mundane group in the universe to actually spreading out to more abilities that kept me getting ideas for more things to use. Basically this puts Xander into the super powered group, although in the SFA world, the normal characters regularly break the laws of physics just as much as the super powered ones. Anyway, this chapter does cover the Judge Battle in a slightly different way and covers some of how he came to be who he is (This chapter is primarily a big chunk of how Xander went from who he was to who he is.)

Alice: I didn't get that from it, yes she was put in charge (Although I would say it was more of her taking charge because no one else volunteered at the time), but she didn't know when to ask for help and seemed to bounce from one bad decision after another without giving it the slightest thought. She was losing it all through the season and had been for a long time in it. As I have put in this chapter, he left because he wanted to and was looking for something because he didn't feel like he fit in anymore.


Memories, memories were a lot of what made Xander as he now was.

Originally it had seemed like they would have faded, but what happened all those years ago when he faced the Judge had been the final part of what solidified his new "self" as it were.

The massive power armor moved across the tile of the mall floor as he charged the monster, taking a hit as alarms sounded inside the armor.

"I'm sorry Xander," the familiar voice of John Hunter whispered in his ear in a mournfull tone as the energy tore through them, "But I can't stay, goodbye."

All three of his mental "guests" had repeated what was basically te same thing as the pain from the attack became unbearable. Even Villain X, the warrior who had shaped much of his own attitudes in the recent months had apologized that they could no longer remain if he was to suceed in this fight.

In his minds eye he saw them standing between him and a bright light.

"It is not yet your time," Two whispered to him as memories flooded through him as he felt their pain but his body kept charging, the Quicksilver Axe forming into the massive greatsword he favored over axes.

"No..." he yelled as X seemed to dissolve before him, his thoughts and abilities merging with his consciousness, "No don't leave me alone again."

His blade struck as Two and John Hunter fanished as well, John saying one last thing to him.

"We never will, we are a part of you now, the spell was never meant to make us seperate from you in the end," was the phrase as they mixed with him while the relic weapon seemed to gleam for a moment and the Judge seemed to burst into flame and ash.

He staggered slightly as the energy left him and his mind spun and darkness filled him and left him collapsing to the ground in anguish for the three beings he had befriended and feared at the same time.

He had been unconscious for three days after that as his mind and body healed, the power the Judge had used against him had solidified his fledgling psionic abilities to a much higher level than he'd ever dreamed of and he felt empty inside, his mental companions had been destroyed, but their memories and skills remained as he began working on repairing the damaged power armor.

Xander left Sunnydale after that, his mind somewhat confused as he finished his GED. He couldn't stand living there anymore, the place just felt wrong to him and his psionic sensed made the feeling even worse. He'd been contacted soon after to form the team he now led.

He stirred slightly, waking in the back of the VTOL on its way to Rome to pick up Lock. His thoughts still on the past as the memories touched his thoughts again. Other memories surfaced as a brief moment of thought towards his former friends made him wonder.

A few years ealier he'd met someone who he cared deeply for, her name was Nadia. She was a little older than him and had a three year old daughter named Hannah, but he loved her and almost married her if something hadn't happened.

He had been on his way back from a training session with some of his new recruits to find the place ruined and both of them dead. It was only later that he had found out that the slayer activation had triggered Nadia which in turn led a group of demons to attack.

The memories still nearly left him on the ground and would have if he hadn't been strapped into his seat. Lycander had apparently caught his feelings, the kid was Nadia's younger brother, someone he had since taken under his wing and begun to teach everything he could to. He felt he owed it to him for being unable to protect those they both cared for.

But above all, with all the deaths of people who had no clue as to what they were, or ones caused by new slayers, the new Watchers Council needed to be stopped.


John Conner met the other members of the team he was assigned to for the mission in New York city and wondered how "Uncle Bob" would have fared against some of them.

And the blind lady, Oracle, was really creeping him out with the way she acted.
