The end of the shadow demon's twisted game was near but before it did a final showdown awaited Buffy Summers, Angel and Tristan Summers as they had to find the powerful weapon known as the shadowsong blade, then find and hunt down the shadow demon itself and defeat it once and for all or else they would be stuck in this alternate world forever, if they were not killed during their attempts to kill the shadow demon.
If they did win against the shadow demon however, it would not grant them victory as neither the slayer, the vampire or their son had any idea what the demon's death would mean to the slayer line, considering it was lured, trapped and merged with the first slayer Sineya.
Would the death of a key component to the creation of the slayer line bring about the end of all slayers and if not that in what other way would it effect the chosen ones? The answer to those questions awaited Buffy, Angel and Tristan but before they could even think about that they had to find a way to defeat the shadow demon.

"Where's the blinding blade?" Buffy asked her son Tristan, as she, Tristan and Angel stood in front of the gates to a gothic and seemingly abandoned castle, the three of them realizing they were no longer in Sunnydale.
"Your guess is as good as mines," Tristan replied to her. "Having it remain within my hands would be too easy I presume."
"I'm so glad you alive!" Angel declared as he rushed over to his son and hugged the male slayer. "I really thought you were gone for good this time."
"Seems I learned a thing or two from you and Buffy about avoiding permanent death." Tristan told Angel. "Let us just hope we can all keep up the family tradition when we go in there."
"I do not know about you too, but I have a funny feeling this is the finale level, spooky castle probably filled with darkness kind of seems like a shadow's paradise." Buffy guessed, as she examined the castle.
"I say we split up," Tristan suggested, only to be met by looks from both his parents that told him they were not happy with his suggestion. "You two should take down whatever minions is protecting the demon while I find the blade that way all three of us will be ready to take this thing down without any distractions."
"Okay but why do you get to find the sword?" Buffy asked her son. "I'm done for dusting, chopping or taking down whatever's in there but I would mind a swinging of that sword either."
"I am not sure it will let you hold it, it definitely does not like vampires anyway as Spike found himself burned just touching the handle." Tristan explained. "Besides, I literally dug the thing out of my own chest which means if it is not just for me then it bloody well should be."
"Now that is a valid if not very graphic point!" Buffy admitted to Tristan. "Okay, we will split up!"
"Just make sure not to die for a third time Tristan," Angel warned his son, half-jokingly, half worried.

Tristan decided to climb his way up the gothic castle from around the back, planning to smash his way into a room and search for the weapon that he could somehow felt was calling to him, which would be stranger to the male slayer if he had not literally pulled the shadowsong blade from out of his own chest, or rather an alternate world version of himself.
He knew that by both Angel and Buffy entering through the front doors of the castle, that the two of them would keep any minions of the shadow demon's would be kept busy as he continued his climb and broke into the castle in search of his magical sword.
Tristan quickly found himself breaking a castle window and sneaking into a completely dark room before he began walking cautiously with his hands out in search of a nearby door.
It took the slayer several minutes before he felt something like a door before confirming it by finding the doorknob and opening the door which led him to a hallway lit by candles hanging in lanterns on the walls, strategically placed down the hallway to highlight the entire view.
Tristan wasted no time in checking door after door in the hallway, each room being completely dark just like the first room he broke into, until he reached the finale door in the hallway to which he opened without hesitation and with a slight misstep he quickly found himself falling down a lightless shoot that only confirmed to him that he had just falling through some kind of trap door.
Tristan was falling for what seemed like forever but in reality was less than a minute, before the male slayer hit cold hard ground with force, finding himself in a dark and damp cave and injured from his fall much to his own frustration as he began to wonder if there was any way out of his current predicament.

Buffy and Angel wasted no time in beating, defeating and dusting the vampires which awaited for them once they walked into the castle through the front doors, finding themselves with a grand foyer with no doors barring the ones they came through, no windows, stairs or any sign of them going anywhere within the castle barring back out of it.
"There must be a secret staircase or door or anything that gets us somewhere else in this bloody castle!" Buffy moaned as she began touching up a nearby wall, desperately searching for a secret entranceway. "There is more to this castle than this bloody room!"
"Buffy…" Angel shouted as he noticed a blue portal appearing in between himself and the blonde-haired slayer, only to be ignored by her as she kept searching for a secret door, as the portal grew bigger. "Buffy!"
"Are you just going to shout my name all day or are you actually going to help me?" Buffy asked before turning around to face Angel, noticing the blue portal standing between them immediately. "Oh…"
"Something tells me we've reached the end of our involvement in this game." Angel guessed.
"No, not a chance," Buffy stated before shouting upwards. "You hear me your world jumping demon pest! I am not going anywhere without my son; I am done with your games! Give me my son…we are not going anywhere!"
"Buffy he might already be out of this world." Angel suggested, uncertain if Buffy's defiance in that moment was necessary.
"Angel, he's in this castle I can feel it." Buffy stated as she bypassed the portal and walked over to Angel. "Something deep inside call it maternal instincts or whatever, it is telling me he is still here…Angel, I lost our son because he was put into a portal too quickly I am not losing him again because we were the ones rushing off home."
Before Angel could so much as nod his head in agreement to the blonde haired slayer, the vampire noticed the blue portal vanish into thin air, giving them no choice but to stay behind, not that they would have it any other way.
"Okay we are not going to leave this castle until we have personally both touched every inch of these walls…" Angel began to say, before a loud creaking noise attracted both his and Buffy's attention as they turned to their right to find a door shaped hole suddenly appear on the wall. "Or we could just walk that way and see where it goes."
"Sounds like a plan to me!" Buffy replied as she began walking towards the door shaped hole in the wall, with Angel quickly following behind her.

Tristan struggled to his feet within the dark cave he had found himself falling into and as he managed to stand he noticed a light coming from further down the tunnel of the cave, not waiting for long before he slowly began limping his way down towards the tunnel in search of the source of light, hoping it was the same light that his special blade blasted from the sword itself.
It took far longer than Tristan would have liked to limp his way through the cave until but eventually he found the shadowsong blade sat on a large boulder, shining with all of its glory, calling out for the male slayer to hold it once again as Tristan could not help but find himself admiring its beauty once again.
After spending much more time admiring the shadowsong blade than he did looking for it, Tristan eventually picked up the magical sword which had a new reaction to his touch this time, as Tristan held the handle of the sword in his right hand, the sword's light began travelling across the slayer's body until he too was covered in the same light as the mystical shadowsong blade.
"You are just full of surprises, aren't you?" Tristan said the sword, as if he felt the sword could somehow hear him.

Buffy and Angel found themselves walking into an empty ballroom within the gothic Victorian mansion where they found the back of Tristan's body stood facing away from them in the middle of the floor, standing remarkably still.
"I am going to guess the search for the super sword did not go to well?" Buffy asked Tristan, as she and Angel cautiously walked towards him.
"Tristan, is that you?" Angel asked, as Tristan turned around to reveal his eyes were completely jet black.
"Yes and No," Dark Tristan replied to them both. "I am both Tristan and not Tristan, in fact you would consider me the original considering I predate him, and the two of you…heck I predate humanity…but not the dinosaurs, I am nowhere near as ancient as the first!"
"What have you done with our son?" Buffy screamed at the twisted version of Tristan.
"Do you not understand I am both your son and your creator?" Twisted Tristan answered the blonde-haired slayer. "You and Angel's alliance was destined to give birth to my vessel you see…I created you and the two of you created me."
"I would rather die than see you anywhere near my son!" Angel snapped at the demon.
"The Shadow Men never did tell you how they trapped me did they?" Dark Tristan asked them both. "Or rather how I trapped them…you see they deceived with the lie that the first slayer would serve as a vessel and up onto the most recent generation she was my closest tie…however, I deceived them into believing they had tricked me because I foresaw the union of a slayer and demon, one that would create my perfect vessel."
"You are lying! Why would you want a vessel in the first place? Surely, you were powerful enough without one." Buffy argued with the demonic version of her son.
"Oh, I was…but the pleasure of destruction quickly diminished after too many centuries and I found myself envious of your kind…" Twisted Tristan revealed to them both. "I was willing to wait as long as it took to find the perfect vessel…just to feel something, anything, even all the trauma and pain that came with this one…poor man, so wounded, so tormented beyond ways even I could torment further and yet he continues to fight."
"You are right about that; he will fight you till the very end, and he will defeat you if the two of us do not beat him to it." Angel promised the demon.
"Oh, I know he will you see whether good or evil he lives for the fight I just wanted to give you all a good one before the end…" Twisted Tristan continued with his revelations. "I was not prepared for a vessel so broken, so filled with despair and darkness…I was evil, but I had never felt evil until I became one with him."
"My son is not evil! He's on the right path," Buffy continued to argue with the twisted version of her child. "He's had his moments but he's finding his way now, the right way."
"Perhaps, perhaps not…" Dark Tristan replied. "We will see once he becomes me and I am no longer…"
Before Buffy or Angel could ask the black eyed version of their son anymore questions about the puzzling words he had spoken a fully luminous glowing Tristan stormed into the ballroom with his equally luminous sword, the power of both him and the weapon being felt by all as he charged over to his almost identical counterpart and launched the shadowsong blade into his chest.
Black eyed Tristan's eyes turned normal as his mouth opened and a black fog escaped from his throat, making his way into the normal Tristan's mouth causing normal Tristan to cough as his demonic counterpart exploded into nothing but black fog before the fog itself eventually vanished into thin air, at the same time both Tristan and his magical blade's glow disappeared leaving both the male slayer and his weapon looking completely normal.
"Oh, damn it does that mean this thing is broken now?" Tristan complained, as he shook the magical sword, wishing its light to come back on, only for nothing to happen. "I was really starting to love this thing too…"
"What exactly just happened?" Buffy asked Angel, both equally confused by their son's supposed victory.
"I am not sure, but I guess we can work it all out when we return home." Angel replied, as a large blue portal opened in front of him, Buffy, and their son Tristan.
"I guess it is back to the land of the living for everyone!" Tristan said to them both, as he threw the blade to the ground. "No use for you anymore…"
Buffy, Angel and Tristan began walking towards the portal without hesitation, knowing for certainty that this portal would lead them back to their own world, but one thing that remained uncertain for both Buffy and Angel was the meaning behind the shadow demon's last words and what it could mean for their son's future.
