Library- Night
Giles is sitting at his desk, looking through some text on the slayers. He flips a couple of pages, studying them closely, and apparently not liking what he is reading.
" 'The Master shall rise' Yes, yes. Here it is. 'The Master shall rise, and the Slayer….' Oh my god!"
And then the earthquake hit. Below, the Master celebrated.
Library- The Next Day
Buffy, Syl and Jesse walk in laughing about something. Giles is sitting at the front desk looking through another book.
"Morning!" Buffy calls cheerfully. She, Syl and Jesse look around at the damage from the earthquake that occurred earlier that morning. Giles looks at the three of them, specifically Buffy, like he's seen a ghost.
"Buffy!" Giles calls out shocked.
"What? Do I have something on my face?" Buffy asks.
"No!" Giles replies quickly and glances at the upper level, which is in shambles. "Best not go up there."
"How you doing Giles? Get much sleep last night?" Syl asks.
"Not much actually, I was working." Giles responds. "How was patrol last night?"
"It's gotten pretty fubar. We must have dusted about ten vamps each last night." Syl answers. "Jesse and Xander even got one, working together."
"Was anyone hurt?" Giles inquires.
"Just one person. We got there too late. It was that substitute computer teacher we had a while back, Ms. Calender." Buffy says, with regret oozing out heavily in her voice.
"There numbers are increasing." Giles agreed, looking forlorn at Buffy.
Syl, Buffy and Jesse don't notice Giles' look.
"And they're getting cockier." Buffy says. "Last night was a pretty close call. They were practically on school grounds."
Giles opens his mouth to say something, but is cut off by the late bell.
"Well, that's it. We can't put off our terrible fate anymore." Syl says, with a hint of depression in her voice.
"Wha- What?" Giles sputters.
"Biology." Buffy and Jesse chorus as way of an answer. The trio starts to head out.
"So, the dance tonight. We going?" Jesse asks.
"But of course." Syl says.
Later that day
School Courtyard
Xander walks up to Willow, who is sitting on a bench.
"Hey Wills." He greets. She looks up and grins, making room for him on the bench.
"Hi Xander." She says with a smile, intertwining her fingers with his outstretched hand as he sits down.
"I was wondering if you wanted to go to the dance with me tonight." Xander asks.
"Xander, of course I will." Willow shrieks immediately, throwing her arms around him.
Nearby, Jesse was getting the same answer from Cordelia.
Buffy and Syl watch their friends with smiles on their faces. Buffy turns to Syl.
"So who are you going with?" Buffy asks her sister with a sly grin on her face.
"Me, I'm going stag." Syl replies.
"Nobody asked you!" Buffy exclaims surprised.
"No, six people asked, one even bribed me. But I'm waiting for the right one." Syl answers. "What about you? Angel coming?"
"I- I don't know." Buffy says.
"He'll show, don't worry." Syl tells her sister with a reassuring squeeze to the shoulder.
"Yeah…" Buffy trails off, not convinced.
Library
Giles is on the phone, waiting for an answer on the other end of the line. He hears a click.
"Hello? Uh, this is Giles. Uh….. Uh, Rupert Giles.' Giles says. "I need to see you. No, I- I realize that, come after sundown. Good, I'll see you then." He finishes and hangs up the phone, with a very disturbed look on his face.
Later that night
Buffy and Syl are standing in the girls bathroom, talking. Syl walks over to the sink and turns on the faucet to wash her hands and blood begins to flow out of the pipe.
"Whoa!" Syl jumps back in surprise and stares at the blood. She looks at Buffy, who is also looking at the sink with a shocked look on her face. "We gotta tell Giles about this."
Buffy nods and the pair quickly exit the bathroom and head for the library.
Library
Buffy and Syl walk in and head for Giles' office. They stop when they hear Giles talking and look into his office.
"It's clear. It's whats going to happen. Uh, It's happening now." Giles says quickly
Angel moves into sight and the two blonde exchange a confused look.
"It can't be. You've gotta be wrong." Angel shakes his head in disbelief.
"I've checked it against all my other volumes. It's very real." Giles says.
Buffy and Syl make their way over to the door silently, unnoticed by either of the two men in the room.
"Then you're reading it wrong." Angel snaps.
"I wish to god I were! But it's very plain. Tomorrow night Buffy will face the Master, and she will die." Giles says solemnly.
"Well, have you verified the text?" Angel asks, but is interupted by Buffy, who begins to laugh. Syl looks over at her sister, with a deeply troubled look on her face as Giles and Angel finally are made aware of the presence of the two sisters. Buffy begins to walk away from the office, Syl following slowly. Angel and Giles exchange a worried look and start after the pair. Buffy stops at the center table and looks back.
"So that's it, huh?" Buffy says. "I remember the drill, one slayer dies, the next one is called. Wonder who she is. Will you be training her, or are they going to send someone else?"
"Buffy, I….." Giles starts but is cut off by a furious Syl.
"Don't talk. You people, you watchers. You sit around all day, going though your stupid books, you don't fight, You're so fucking useful with the researching aren't you!" Syl shrieks in rage at Giles.
"No I don't suppose I am." Giles admits quietly. "I wish that there was a way around it."
"There is a way. It's real simple, I quit." Buffy says.
"Buffy, I know this is hard." Angel says.
"Shut up, What do you know anyways? Your gonna live forever." Syl snaps, turning on Angel. She takes Buffy by the arm and leads the way out of the library. "Leave us the hell alone, from now on. We're through working for you." Syl snarls, and leaves with a hysterical Buffy following behind.
Summers Home – Buffy's room.
Buffy and Syl are sitting, Buffy on her bed, Syl perched on the windowsill. Joyce walks in and looks at her two daughters.
"Whats going on girls." Joyce asks, noticing their forlorn expressions. "Did something happen?"
Buffy and Syl look at eachother, then at Joyce.
"Everythings fine, mom." Syl answers for the pair of them.
"Yeah, what Syl said." Buffy says, with a hint of sadness in her voice.
"Are you sure everything is alright?" Joyce asks, suddenly very concerned.
Buffy looks at Syl, who returns the glance.
"Mom, let's go away for the weekend." Syl exclaims
"What?" Joyce questions, confused.
"Yeah. Lets just get out of town, and go any where for awhile?" Buffy agrees.
"You both know that the Gallery is open during the weekend." Joyce says. "Besides, isn't the Prom tomorrow night? You two should go to that."
"Yeah, I guess you're right." Syl says in defeat, and She and Buffy sigh.
"I'm sure that you two will have a great time. We can go away next weekend. It's not like it's the end of the world or anything." Joyce says as she leaves the room. Buffy and Syl look at eachother.
"If only she knew." Syl mutters.
The Next Day at School
Willow and Cordelia walk down a hallway and stop in front of a classroom. They look in and see a bunch of guys sitting around watching cartoons.
"Oh they're so cute." Cordelia says with a smirk on her face, then figures out who the guys are. "Hey, that's Kevin and Ryan, they're supposed to be working on the audio set up at the gym for the Prom tonight, oh he's going to get it, let me tell you." She says and opens the door, then screams as the lifeless body of Owen Thurman slumps to the floor in front of her and Willow. Willow screams too, then bends down to inspect the body.
"It was a vampire." Willow says, turning Owen's neck to show Cordelia the twin bitemarks on Owen's neck. "We need to find Buffy and Syl….Now."
Master's Lair
The Master and Collin the Anointed One are standing at the entrance of the lair, looking up.
"Now is the time!" The Master announces and sends Collin out to go find Buffy.
Library
Giles is getting weapons out of the cage on the east wall of the library, setting them on the table. Willow, Cordelia, Jesse and Xander walk in. They see Giles and walk over quickly.
"What's going on?" Jesse asks.
"We're in the middle of an apocalypse. The master is going to rise tonight." Giles answers.
"Well, wheres Buffy then, isn't she going to fight him? Or Syl?" Willow asks.
"Neither of them are going to fight the Master. I am." Giles replies. "The Anointed One should be here soon. I have to be ready.
"No you're not." Buffy says as she enters with Syl.
"I've made up my mind." Giles says determinedly.
"So have I." Buffy counters.
"Just do what you're told for once. I'm older and wiser than all of you." Giles snaps.
"I have an IQ of about two-hundred." Syl says.
"That really isn't the—Two Hundred? Really?" Giles asks and Syl shrugs with a smirk.
"The point is that's not how it goes. I'm the slayer." Buffy tells him. "I'm going."
"I'm not changing my mind about this." Giles says doggedly.
"We know. But one thing I learned in my years at Manticore was to always have a contigiency plan. So here it is." Syl said and blurred behind Giles, wrapping her arms around his neck and locking in a chokehold. Xander, Jesse and Cordelia move to get Syl off of Giles, but knocked away by Buffy and Syl. After a few moments, Syl, lets Giles slip to the ground, unconscious.
"Why in the hell did you do that?" Cordelia demands.
"It's like he said, nothing was going to stop him from going and he would have gotten killed." Buffy answers. "We have an apocalypse on our hands so there is no time to screw around. Syl will fill you iin on the details of what I need done. Good luck to all of you, and if this is the last time we see eachother, keep fighting the good fight." Buffy finishes and heads out of the library.
"Okay, here's how it's gonna go down for the rest of us." Syl begins.
Angel's Apartment
A loud knocking is heard and Angel gets up off his couch to answer it. He opens the door to find Jesse and Xander waiting there. Xander has his hand raised to knock again.
"Oh, look who's here." Angel mutters aloud, and move out of the way so that the two teens can enter. "Make yourselves at home." He says and closes the door.
"We don't have a lot of time. Buffy's gone." Jesse says hurridly.
"Whaddya mean, she's gone?" Angel questions.
"She's gone to fight the Master." Xander informs him.
"He'll kill her." Angel says, horrified.
"We know. Syl sent us to get you and make sure that she isn't killed." Jesse says.
"And where is Syl?" Angel asks quickly.
"She, Giles, Cordelia and Willow are set up at the school, just in case the Master does get free. She and Buffy figured that he and his minions would attack the prom." Xander explains. "It was Bufy's plan."
"If the Master is freed, then we're all going to have a lot more to worry about than the Master's minions." Angel says darkly.
"Like what?" Jesse asks, nervously.
"Well, for starters, He's going to open the hellmouth." Angel replies to the horror of Jesse and Xander.
Library
Giles comes out of the stacks, going through a couple of books. "The Master is as old as any known vampire on record at the council. There's no telling how powerful he'll be if he reaches the surface." Giles announces to the group of Cordelia, Syl and Willow.
"Okay, I just have one question." Syl says. "He wants to open the hellmouth right?" Giles nods. "Where is this wonderful piece of architecture?"
About twenty five feet below us, actually." Giles says, removing his glasses to wipe them off.
Syl, Cordy and Willow exchange a glance, then hurry for the weapons pile.
Master's Lair
The Anointed One leads Buffy down the tunnels to the entrance. He stops and points downward, into the lair. Buffy looks where he is pointing and nods. He gives her a half smile and turns heading out the way they came. She continues on into the large chamber that houses the Master.
"Welcome." The Master says coming out of the shadows behind her.
Buffy whirls around and aims the crossbow at him. "Thanks for having me." She says cockily and fires the crossbow. The Master grabs it in midair, mere inches away from his heart.
"You're not going to kill me with that thing." The Master mocks.
"Don't be so sure." Buffy quips.
"You don't understand your part in this do you?" The Master says. "You are not the hunter, you are the lamb."
Tunnels
Angel, Xander and Jesse are walking down a sewer pipe, trying to locate the Master's hideout. They come to fork in the tunnels. Angel looks each way, then nods. "This way." He announces, heading down the east way.
"Uh, how can you tell?" Jesse asks, perplexed.
"I can smell her." Angel replies shortly, and heads down the tunnel.
Jesse and Xander exchange a nervous glance, then follow the ensouled vampire down the tunnel.
Master's Lair
Buffy is looking around, trying to find the Master, who has pulled a disappearing act. She comes across a dead and rotted body, and continues her search.
"You know, for someone who's all powerful, you sure do like to hide." Buffy says sarcastically.
"I'm waiting for you. I want this moment to last." The Master says.
"That's wonderful, but I'd like to get this wrapped up as soon as possible. The Master steps out of the shadows right behind her. She spins around, but the Master knocks the crossbow out of her hands and grabs by the neck. She swings her arm up and knocks his hand away. She turns and runs but the Master raises his arm and she stops, frozen in place. She looks back at him, caught in his hypnotic powers. He approaches her, moving slowly. He makes his way behind her and removes her leather jacket, and lets it fall to the ground.
"You tried, it was noble of you. You heard the prophsesy that I was going to break free and came to stop me. But prophesies are tricky creatures. What you didn't know is that if you hadn't come, I couldn't go." The Master informs her. 'You're the one who sets me free! Think about that."
Buffy is frozen in fear as the Master pushes her hair back. He bencs down and bites her neck. He sucks deeply for a few moments, then lets her go. She falls face first into a pool of water.
"Oh….. The power!" The Master moans in delight and rapture, then looks down at Buffy's unmoving body. "By the way…. I like your dress."
The Master leaves the chamber and heads for the surface.
Library
Giles, Syl, Cordelia and Willow are standing around the library, weapons in hand. The ground begins to shake and the library floor begins to crack and rupture.
"It's started." Giles announces They all grip their weapons tighter.
Master's Lair
Angel, Xander, and Jesse make their way out of the tunnels and into the Master's lair. Just as they enter, a bright light explodes and they all jump back in surprise.
"What the hell was that?" Jesse asks quickly.
"It's too late. He's gone up." Angel tells them, rushing into the lair, Xander and Jesse following behind him. They soon come across Buffy, who is still laying facedown in the water. Angel rushes to her and lifts her up into his lap. Her checks her pulse but finds none. He looks at Xander and Jesse.
"She's dead." He says.
Library
Syl swings her sword at an oncoming vamp, who is unable to dodge the blade and is swiftly decapitated. Giles is also swinging away at the vampires that have gathered in the library. Willow and Cordelia are working together, firing off crossbow bolts from the relative safety of the cage.
Master's Lair
Xander moves over to where Angel is holding Buffy in his lap.
"No. She's not dead." Xander denied, shaking his head.
"She isn't breathing." Angel replies.
"But if she drowned, there's still a shot. CPR!"
"One of you will have to do it, I have no breath."
Xander nods. He and Jesse take Buffy from Angel and lay her out on the ground. Xander begins pumping her chest and then breaths into her mouth, trying frantically to revive her. He keeps at it for several moments without any response. Angel and Jesse hang their heads in sorrow, believing that Buffy is dead. Just then she coughs and spits up some water. Her eyes snap open and she gets up quickly.
"Where is he?" She demands. Angel, Xander and Jesse look at eachother quickly, then point upward.
Library
The battle continues. Syl and Giles have begun to back up to the cage where Willow and Cordelia are still firing off crossbow bolts into the throngs of vampires coming at them. The ground begins to shake again. The floor explodes upwards and a green tenticle rises up.
"The Hellmouth is open!" Giles yells, making his way further back as Syl grabs a second sword and flings herself into the crowd of oncoming vampires. She is quickly grabbed and disappears from view.
"Syl!" Giles yells, and his call is quickly echoed by Willow and Cordy.
School Rooftop
The Master walks into view, looking up at the night sky.
"My world, Oh my beautiful world." He exclaims, throwing his arms out. He looks down through the skylight into the library. He can see Giles, Willow and Cordelia fending off vamps from the cage. He can see Syl being held down, struggling as the vampires try to bite her neck. He can see the green tenticle monster rising up.
"Yes come forward my child, come into my world." The Master croons, staring intentedly at the monster.
"Oh I wouldn't call it your world just yet." Buffy says, coming out of the nearby stairwell. The Master turns to her in surprise.
"You're dead!" He says, pointing a finger at her as if he was accusing her of something.
"I may be dead, but I'm still pretty." Buffy quips. "Which is more than I can say for you, you ugly son of a bitch."
"You were destined to die, it was written." The Master insists.
"What can I say? I flunked the written." Buffy retorts sarcastically.
The Master raises his hand, trying to hypnotize Buffy again. She smirks and kicks him through the skylight, sending him crashing down on an upturned shard of wood, impaling him through the chest.
"Save the hypnotizing crap for the tourists."
Library
As the Master falls to his undeath and the green tenticle monster retreats into the ground, the vampires holding Syl look over to see what has happened. Syl takes advantage of the distraction and kickls herself up. She manages to stake about fifteen effortlessly, but the majority of them escape.
Later
Cordelia and Syl push the remnants of the furniture they had propped up against the double doors, to let Buffy, Angel, Xander and Jesse into the library. They al walk over to where the Master's skeleton is still impaled.
"So, all things considered, I think we can safely call it a night." Syl says.
"Indeed, the Hellmouth is closed and the Master is dead." Giles agrees.
"So where do we go from here?" Cordelia asks.
"I don't know about the rest of you, but I'd much like to get out of this place. I don't like the library very much anymore." Giles says with a sigh.
"Hey, I hear there's a party at the Bronze tonight. Could be fun." Jesse says, and Xander quickly nods his approval.
"Yeah, sounds like fun." Cordy says.
"Buffy? Syl?" Willow asks. The sisters look at one another and nod.
"What the hell?" Syl says.
"Yeah, we saved the world. I say we party." Buffy agrees.
"Is anyone else hungry?" Syl asks.
"I am!" Buffy announces, as Cordelia and Jesse lead the way out of the library, Willow, Xander, Giles and Syl following close behind, and Angel and Buffy take up the rear. Angel turns to Buffy with a smile.
"By the way, I really like your dress." Angel tells her.
"Yeah, yeah. Big hit with everybody." Buffy says with a smirk.
