AN: Thank you for the reviews. BTVS doesn't belong to me.
"10…11…12…13…" Adam heard Lilith counting as she was doing push-ups.
"Attention, Lilith." He ordered when he got closer. He continued once he saw her standing at a perfect attention, "This is Riley Finn and you follow any commands he give you, understood."
"Understood." Lilith said controlling the anger she felt at her newest superior.
"Come, Brother, we must prepare you for the final phase." Adam said as he left.
Lilith hit the wall in anger. 'How is that worthless soldier my superior? I beat him without any real effort. He is a comrade of the blonde. He could betray us and give away our position. There is a serious flaw in the logic of Brother. I don't know if he can still lead. No, don't think like that. He is our commander and he knows what is best,' she thought trying to work through her doubts.
Outside Giles' apartment, Spike stood by the door preparing himself to follow through with Adam's last part for him. Buffy was worried about Riley having not seen her boyfriend for the last day. Everyone else was trying to devise a strategy to take out Adam's core, when Spike burst through the door out of breath and worry on his face.
"Slayer, good thing I found you. There's news in the underground that your boy was captured by Adam." Spike gasped out like he had run all the way there.
"What? How did Adam get Riley? I thought he was held up in the Initiative." Buffy freaked out.
"Adam must have slipped in and got him. I doubt they are paying much attention with all the demons down there." Faith said to reassure the blonde, though she didn't believe it.
"Alright then we are raiding Adam, now." Buffy ordered to the Scoobies.
"Buffy, we can't run in there. Think about it, what good would charging in and not making it do for Riley. This might be what Adam wants." Giles tried to reason with the blonde slayer.
"We can't just leave him there. Has anybody come up with something we could use to beat Adam?" Buffy questioned in a fit.
"What if we used a summoning spell? You know, pull the core out of him with magic." Willow suggested.
"I don't know how to do magic or the language, Will, and we don't have enough time for me to learn. Don't even suggest going with me 'cause that isn't going to happen." Buffy informed her friends.
"Buffy, what else are we going to do? Unless you somehow get Giles knowledge of language and Willow's magical abilities, I don't think you will have much luck." Xander said.
"That's it." Giles exclaimed and reached for a book, "There is a spell that will allow us to meld into Buffy but we will still need to be close to her."
"Will, is there any place on that map of 314 that you guys could set up at?" Buffy asked the red head.
"Maybe the room right in front of the final stage area. So if we do this spell then what is Faith going to do?" Willow looked at the brunette slayer for the answer.
"Well, while B is focusing on the big guy, I can make sure Lilith doesn't interfere. Who knows, maybe I can get her to help us out." Faith answered with hope.
"Do we have everything to do the spell, Giles, and how are we going to get into the Initiative?" Buffy wondered.
"Um, yes it looks like I have all the ingredients." Giles said looking through where he keeps his magical stuff.
"As for getting in, we could just storm the place and rappel down the elevator shaft." Xander sarcastically brought up.
"Then that is what we will do. Grab everything we need. We are ending this tonight." Buffy ordered while no one saw Spike slip out the door.
"That's suicide, B, and a major chance that if they don't just shoot us, they will throw us in a prison cell with a whole bunch of demons. I say we do it." Faith finished with a smile.
Spike made back to the control room where Adam was waiting to begin and opened his mouth, "The Slayer said that they were going to storm the Initiative tonight."
AN: I decided to stop there so that way all the good stuff goes on next chapter. So please review.
