After throwing themselves into a portal not knowing where they would end up or what awaited them, Xander Harris and Dawn Summers found themselves standing outside the front entrance to a boarded up Sunnydale High School, the one that Buffy Summers infamously blew up at Graduation, not the one which Dawn found herself attending.
"So, I am going to go out on a limb here and say the whole being back at high school thing is not a good sign, I mean I already survived this place once much to everyone's shock including my own I doubt I am going to make it out a second time." Xander admitted to Dawn, as the two slowly began walking cautiously towards the front entrance.
"I am sure there's not a hellmouth here like in our Sunnydale…although now that I have said that I have realized that there is most definitely going to be a hellmouth underneath this place!" Dawn replied, attempting badly to reassure her boyfriend. "I sure hope we do not have to deal with a bunch of uber vamps because that should really be Buffy's job."
"Sure, sounds like a Buffy thing to me too," Xander agreed as they opened the doors and walked into the corridors of Sunnydale High School. "He says while literally terrified that we're about to be eaten and Joyce will wind up being raised by Andrew."
"Well at least we did not leave her with Illyria although the idea of Illyria raising our girl into the next Xena is totally awesome." Dawn admitted as the two continued to walk down the corridors of the high school, heading straight towards the library where Xander, Buffy, Willow, Giles, Cordelia and Oz spent so much time in their teens trying not to wind up dead and helping Buffy defeat whatever evil came her way.
Being back at Sunnydale High was literally Xander's worst nightmare which was of course why they had wound up there as he realised this version of his high school past was literally hell, which in his opinion high school always was.
The idea of heading to the library just seemed to make perfect sense to both Xander and Dawn, as they hoped the books Giles once stored in there would still be there and somehow help them find a way back home to their daughter.
However, despite expecting to expect the unexpected neither Xander nor Dawn would be prepared for what awaiting them in the library.
"Xander Harris I hear in your dimension you and I had a little thing, sounds like that version of me had as bad a taste in men as I once did." Anyanka said in full demonic face form, as she greeted both Xander and Dawn as they walked into the library to find her stood waiting in front of the table.
"Anya…" Xander replied with a saddened sigh, struggling to see the woman he almost married once again back in demon mode.
"Just what dimension are you from exactly?" Dawn asked the vengeance demon.
"A very miserable one where bunnies reign supreme…" Anyanka complained. "Have you ever tried to get a wish out of a bunny? It is not fun and that is before you take into consideration how terrifying those beasts are…once I am done with the two of you, I get to play in your world!"
"I do not suppose there's any chance I can appeal to the good in you that I know is there deep down all that demon and stop you from killing us both?" Xander pleaded with Anyanka, afraid to go up against his former fiancé.
"You know if you wish for him to be replaced by literally anything or anyone, I will grant that wish?" Anyanka joked with Dawn. "A powerful little ball of energy cannot be pleased with this mere mortal being!"
"Hey if he was good enough for you, he is good enough for me!" Dawn argued with the evil version of her friend.
"I can tell you've had a taste of what you can do in other dimensions but you have yet to go to your home dimension, the one Glory tried to bleed you dry to get to…your power there is godlike whereas where you are now you are literally just a key." Anyanka informed the slayer's sister. "If you wish to go back there, I will grant your wish, you could be a god instead of someone's sister, mother or girlfriend."
"As good as that sounds…not! I am going to have to pass." Dawn responded, rejecting Anyanka's offer to learn more about her powers being the key.
"Oh well you cannot say I was not kind before I had to get nasty!" Anyanka replied before charging towards them both, ready to kill Dawn and Xander.
"Destroy the necklace destroy her power source!" Xander shouted, before Anyanka grabbed a hold of him with both hands and threw him across the library, causing Xander to go flying towards and then crash onto and then through the library table.
A quick acting Dawn quickly yanked the necklace off Anyanka's neck, threw it to the ground and stomped on it with her shoes causing the vengeance demon to scream "No!" as a green light appeared out of the broken necklace, symbolizing the end of Anyanka's powers.
"Sorry about that!" Dawn apologised before punching Anyanka across the face, causing the former demon to fall to the ground unconscious. "But at least you get to live unlike the other Anya…"
After defeating Anyanka and helping her wounded boyfriend Xander tend to his wounds, Dawn and Xander notice a portal appear within the cage in the library, the one in which Oz used to lock himself in to stop him hurting anyone when becoming a werewolf.
They did not know if this portal would lead them home or to another test that the shadow demon had planned for them but they were certain it was time for them both to leave Sunnydale High for good and so the two of them wasted no time in going through the portal within the cage, although they were not the only ones.
Not long after Dawn and Xander disappeared into the portal, a now awakened Anya pulled herself up from off the library floor and began making her way towards the still opened portal, knowing exactly where it led to.
"To hell with being a slave to bunnies even being an incompetent human in an incompetent world will be an improvement to that!" Anya declared before walking into the portal, preparing for a whole new life as a human, just like the Anya before her.
