ROSWELL
The
news that she was just a pawn in a sick game shook every fibre of
Tess's being. First she thought that she was someone's destiny, then
to know that she had another destiny. She left the CrashDown teary
eyed, Max wanted to go after her, but Dawn looked at him and
said,
"Let me go and talk to her"
"Sure" he
sat down and saw Dawn leave.
Dawn saw Tess standing in the far end
of the café with tears in her eyes,
"I know just how
you feel. I felt the same when I heard who I was"
"How
did you take it?" Tess wanted to know
"Not easy. I still
remember the day our sister gave her life to safe me and believe me
when I say that she would do the same for you if she was here"
Tess
looked at Dawn with questions in her eyes and asked,
"What am
I going to do now? First I found out about my destiny from the other
planet"…with that she pointed her finger upwards and then
continued,
"Now I must find out that my life is also in
danger from an unknown entity"
"Well, she's not quite
unknown" Dawn told her what happened.
FLASHBACK
Buffy: Dawn
Dawn: Buffy…no
Buffy: Dawnie…I
have to
Dawn: NO!
Buffy: Listen to me! There's no time Dawn,
please listen
And she brings Dawn close so she can speak in her
ear. Buffy spoke for a short while, then looks Dawn in the eye. She
wipes a tear away, taking the moment to memorise Dawn's face. She
kisses her and, dived towards the platform
END
OF FLASHBACK
The air was so thick with tension you could cut
it with a knife. Both 'sisters' sat there speechless, knowing exactly
what the other one would say,
"Would we be able to destroy
her?" Tess asked
"I don't know, we have to ask Giles
that"
They stood up and walked back into the CrashDown. All
the attendants inside the café looked at the sisters as they
walked towards the booth where Giles and the group from Sunnydale
sat.
Again Liz walked out of the café with just one
objective in mind, the destruction of Tess. She took the phone and
dialled Nicholas's number,
"Talk to me" she heard from
the other side,
"Nicholas, I just want to tell you that the
group have arrived in Roswell and just revealed her true purpose to
Tess"
"Are you sure about this?" he asked
"Yes.
So you better get here fast!"
"We're on our way" he
said and hung up.
Liz could feel a smile creeping up on her face.
At last Tess would die for destroying her life. She didn't even
bother to return to the CrashDown, she decided to take a
stroll.
SUNNYDALE
Nicholas
stood there with his phone in his hand and looked at Kivar and
Glory,
"The group is in Roswell" he said at long
last
"What are we waiting for. I need my keys"
"We
will leave as soon as it gets dark," Kivar said, "Nicholas
get our stuff"
"Certainly sir" Nicholas saluted his
master.
An hour went by and they left Sunnydale in pursuit of the
two keys and the royal family. Nicholas sat there with a smirk on his
face thinking how surprised Zan would be to find out that his First
Love on Earth was the one who betrayed them.
ROSWELL
The excitement of the revelation of who Tess
really was died soon and they decided that it would be better if they
get a good night's rest. Unaware of what the next day would bring the
two 'sisters' decided to have a sleepover and talk about their
sister. When they finally got to sleep Buffy was waiting for them on
the dream plain.
Dream
Buffy stood on the
dream plain looking at her two siblings as they approached her. She
looked so peaceful as they walked closer, but it was a mirage. Buffy
was deeply troubled knowing what would happen to them. Suddenly she
started to speak,
"I'm glad to see the two of you together,
but I must warn you Glory have learned the truth about your existence
Tess"
Tess looked at Buffy, then around her and then back to
Buffy and asked,
"How did she get that information?"
Buffy
sighed and said,
"You have friends that are willing to risk
their lives for you, but every alliance have a traitor and it's that
person who can break the alliance"
Tess's face fell with
shock and she started to tremble with fear,
"Is the traitor
Isabel?" she asked almost immediately,
Buffy looked calmly at
her and said,
"No it is not. This person will reveal herself
when the time is right"
For a while they spoke about their
lives without Buffy there to guide them, Buffy took Dawn's hand in
hers and said,
"Dawnie, I might be dead, but I give my
Slayers powers to you" a bright light left Buffy and entered
Dawn through her hands. Buffy, then turned towards Tess and said
assuring,
"Remember the enemy of my enemy is my friend"
"What
do you mean by saying that?" but before Buffy could answer her,
she woke up.
Both Dawn
and Tess turned towards the door and saw Glory standing there with a
grin plastered on her face,
"I believe you belong to me,"
she said to the two 'sisters'
This only infuriated Tess and she
said,
"I don't belong to you or anybody else"
"You
bitch. Didn't you ruin my life enough!" Liz screamed
"What
are you talking about?" Tess asked
Liz looked at her and then
to Max and said,
"You took away the only man I ever loved.
That is why I did what I did"
"I didn't take Max away
from you. He was never yours to begin with"
"What a
touching moment Ava. I need an encore on that!" she heard a
person say behind her. As she turned around she saw Kivar for the
first time,
"You are not welcome here"
"Oh, but
my dear. I'm here to stay"
Max looked at the man that stood
next to Glory and Nicholas. He knew who it was, but he wasn't ready
for a confrontation with the past
He turned
towards Tess and Dawn and said,
"If you guys needs someone to
fight, you can rely on me and the others"
"Thank you
Max"
They turned their backs on the gang that came and went
into the CrashDown. Glory was really pissed when she saw Tess and
Dawn leave. She looked at Kivar and asked,
"How am I going to
get my keys now?"
"Don't worry about that. They'll
surrender eventually"
"That's what you think"
Nicholas whispered
"What do you mean by that?" Kivar
wanted to know
Nicholas told him about what happened in the past
with the aliens and now that there's a new ally things could become
dangerous for the Skins.
"Then we have to move fast,"
Kivar said
In the CrashDown Tess stood with Dawn and tried to
find out as much as possible about what Glory really is and why she
wanted them,
"She needs our blood to go back to her
dimension, but that's not all the only way she can get our blood is
by killing us"
"That won't happen" Tess
replied
"What are you going to do to prevent it?"
"I'll
think of something"
With that they decided not to think about
it any longer. Liz looked at the two with anger and resentment
written on her face. She knew what must be done, but all the decision
making was up to Kivar and that was the best thing that can
happen.
Willow and Tara stood in their motel room with their
Book of Shadows open on the restoration spell. They are planning to
restore Buffy,
"I hope we know what we are letting ourselves
in for"
"I hope so too, but it's our only chance"
They
started to recite the spell and saw a light entering the room. It was
then that they saw Buffy materialise. Buffy stood there looking at
the two before she spoke,
"Why did you summon me
back?"
"Buffy, we need your help with Glory again"
"How
can I help if I don't have powers?"
"That won't be a
problem. We'll help you gain powers"
Again they stood around
Buffy and recite another spell. A white light came into the room and
surrounded them, slowly it entered Buffy and she was filled with
power.
"Now, where's my sisters?" she asked
"Come
with us and we'll take you to them"
As they left the motel
room Buffy could see that if Tara and Willow risked their sanity to
summon her this was a matter of life and death. Willow knocked on
Dawn's and Tess's door and waited
"Coming!" they heard
Tess
Tess opened the door and was stunned to see Buffy, but
invited them in. She told them to sit down while she looks for
Dawn
Tess went into Dawn's room and stuttered,
"I…I
think you must go downstairs"
"Why?" Dawn wanted to
know
"You must go and see for yourself"
Dawn stood up
and walked towards the living room. When she saw Buffy sitting next
to Tara and Willow she stood there dumbstruck,
"How did this
happen?" she asked
"We used a restoration spell and
called her back"
"I missed you, sis"
Buffy
hugged back and said,
"I missed you too"
They sat
down and Buffy asked them what they found out. As Dawn told her about
the whole incident outside the CrashDown and who the traitor is.
Buffy said that it was time to take action. Tess called Max and said
that they should meet outside the UFO Centre. As they walked towards
the Centre Tess felt like something was about to happen, but she
didn't know what it was. As Max and the others waited for Tess and
the others he looked at Giles and asked,
"What do you have on
the Second Key Tess is supposed to be?"
"We don't know.
We are still looking for the information the Watcher's Counsil
has"
Max looked up and saw five people walking up to
them,
"Hey there Giles" he heard one of the people
said.
"Buffy. What are you doing here?"
"I heard
that you are having trouble with Glory again. So I decided to join in
the fun"
OTHER SIDE OF
ROSWELL
"How am I going to destroy Zan if he doesn't remember
me?" Kivar said
Liz looked at her leader and said,
"I
don't know if he would ever remember you"
"That is where
you are wrong" Nicholas said
"Do you have something?"
Kivar asked
"Well, we have a drug that can sedate him and
then we can send some memory retrieval method on him"
"Are
you sure that it can work?"
"It worked on Lonnie. She
did remember her life as Vilandra, didn't she?"
"I can
slip it into his drink" Liz said
"Sure" then he
handed her the vial
As Liz took the vial from Kivar she felt
a smile creeping up her mouth, now it is time for revenge and nothing
is going to stop her. She walked to the CrashDown and saw Maria take
a tray of sodas and burgers to the gang. She walked up to her
'friend' and said,
"I'll take it to them"
"Are
you sure" Maria asked doubtful
"Yes, I am" she
replied
As Maria walked away she slipped the contents of the vial
into the glass of coke and took it to Max
"Here you go,"
she said
As she walked away from the group Max looked at her and
said to the others,
"I'm so disappointed in her. I never
thought that she would betray us"
"You can say that
again," Isabel said, then she asked
"Where is
Tess?"
"She decided that she want to spend the evening
with her sisters"
"Oh"
