(Chapter-42)

The next evening was a blur of activity, all the teams were being assymbled and weapons were being passed out. Faith looked at her watch, "Two hours before sunset, time to get into position." Faith looked at Shego, "Since we haven't gotten SGC's test resolts back, you and Kim along with your two teams will remain here with the six and guard the school." Shego nodded, "It'll be here when you get back."

Faith turned to the Van Helsings, "You and teams six through ten will guard the gates leading into New Sunnydale, I don't want to risk any Vampire, Demon or Unas escaping." Mia nodded, "We can assure you, none will get past up." Rupert walked up, "I finished the new steaks and each girl will get twenty each, so use them wisely." Faith looked at Rupert, "Aren't you coming?" Rupert shook his head, "Sadly no, this is not my fight. Here I'm just a guide."

Faith smiled, "And a damn good one to." Rupert smiled, "Thank you, now you be safe when you go in there." A few moments later over four thousand slayers made their way to the Zone knowing some of them won't be returning. Shego walked up next to Rupert, "How many do you think won't be returning?" Rupert shook his head, "I wish I knew child, I wish I knew."

On Mot's ship he was watching the main screen, as he watched the screen he can see some of the slayer teams moving into position. Mot looks at the first Unas, "Move the troops into position. And be sure to leave a small opening by the old power stastion. I want it to look like we're short on men. And when they take the bait we close in and destory them." The first Unas bowed, "Yes my Lord."

As the teams moved into position one of the slayer team leaders smiled, "This is team leader twelve, Just to let you know they're trying to trick us into taking the opening in the lines trap." Faith called back, "Where at?" The team leader smiled, "At the old power station." Faith shook her head, "Mot's making that play early, just remember don't fall for it." The leader smiled, "Understood."

Back in the ship the first Unas looked at Mot, "All our men are in place my Lord." Mot Nodded, "Once the sun is down, order the Vampires to attack. but for now have the Demons and other Unas open fire and attack." The first Unas nodded, "Right away my Lord." Outside the ship the 'Scooby Gang' and the rest of the teams made their way towards their objectives when all hell broke loose.

Faith and her team were penned down behind an old truck. Faith keyed her mic, "This is Slayer-One to all teams, sundown in five minutes. get ready for an onslot of Vampires." Just as she said that reports of Vampires were coming in from all the teams. Faith nodded, "I see 'em, they decided to make an early run." Faith shook her head, "This is going to be a long night." All of a sudden team eleven made a frantic call, "THIS IS TEAM ELEVEN WE'RE BEING OVER RUN BY VAMPIRES AND DEMONS, I REPEAT WE'RE BEING OVER RUN BY VAMPIRES AND DEMONS. WE NEED BACK UP, WE NE..."

Before she could finish her transmission was cut off. A moment later Shego called in, "Faith good news, General Hammond just called. He said if you can hold off for a few hours he'll have several F-302s, several Apache Helicopters, and about ten teams of ground troop arriving to help us." Faith nodded, "I hear ya, let's hope they make it quick." Shego nodded, "How's it goin' out there?"

Faith sighed, "We lost Team-Eleven." Shego nodded, "Didn't team eleven have the twins on it?' Shego shook her head, "No, the twins are on team five." The reason Shego asked is that the twins were do to walk the isle and get married to their girlfriends. Shego smiled, "Just keep an eye on 'em I have two very nervus girls here wondering." Faith smiled, "I'll make sure to keep an eye on 'em."

Over at the Van Helsings postions things weren't going to well. Mia keyed her mic, "Helsing-One to Slayer-One, we're about to be over ran here." Faith called back, "Pull back to another position." Mia grabbed her weapon and turned to her teams, "Pull back to a new Position."

Back at Faith's position things weren't to good eather, "Damn these two positions are well guarded."

Back at the school several squads of Vampires and Demons and Unas were making their way towards the main building when Bonnie looked up at the screen, Hello, we have some unwanted company coming in from the North-East Sector." Jules smiled, "Would Bonnie like to change into her Crinos form and go play with the naughty Vampires, Demons and Unas." Bonnie nodded quickly, "Yes, Yes, Yes,! I would love to go play." Jules smiled and looked at Bonnie, "You're still here?"

Bonnie jumped up and ran outside and shifted into her Crinos form and ran to where the unwanted invaders were. Shego laughed, "You're cruel." Jules looked at Shego, "I'm cruel to Bonnie?" Shego smiled and shook her head, "No, you're cruel to the Vampires, Demons and Unas." Jules smiled, "Why thank you." Shego looked at Rachael, "Let the six know they're needed in the North-East Section, Bonnie can handle her own, but there are to many Vampires, Demons, and Unas for her to stop on her own."

Rachael nodded, "Yes ma'am." Kim looked at the main screen, "I estimate at least two to three hundred in the attacking force coming over the wall." Shego nodded, "Leave it to Bonnie and the Six, they'll be able to handle that bunch." Kim smiled, "There they go the Six are now in the fight." Shego smiled, "A dollar say's they'll have 'em all taken out in as little as five minutes."

Jules smiled, "My dollar says ten minutes." Kim smiled, "You're both wrong, they'll have 'em all gone in as little as eight minutes." Rachael looked up "I say fifteen minuts max." Shego smiled, "You're all going to loose big time." As they watched the fight on the screen Shego looked at the clock and sighed, "Well there went my dollar." Kim snickered. Shego smiled, "Don't laugh sweet cheeks, eight minutes is coming up real fast."

Kim looked at the time and cursed, "Damn, there went my dollar." Jules and Rachael smiled. Jules looked at the time, "We're coming up on ten minutes and the Vampires, Demons, and Unas are all but gone." But it wasn't ment to be Rachael smiled, "That's ten minutes and counting." And just as she said the last Vampire, Demon and Unas fell at the fifteen minute mark. Rachael, "Yes, hello McDonalds." Shego sat in her chair and smiled at Rachael, "Damn you're lucky."

Back at Mots ship the first Unas turned, "My lord, the attack at the school failed, "Should I send more men?" Mot shook his head, "No, continue to concentrate on the situation here, and continue the tunneling to the old high school. I want to reopen the Hellmouth there and bring in some of those Uber Vampires." The First Unas nodded, "Yes my lord." Mot looked at his main screen, "Once I have those Uber Vampires, I'll be unstopple."

Several hours later the battle wasn't going to well for Mot Several teams of slayers had made their way to the old meat plant and secured it. They now had a way into the ship and to stop the tunneling. He figured they had the building, but they didn't have the tunnels yet. The first Unas looked at Mot, "What are your orders my Lord?" Mot watched the main screen, "Continue the tunneling, The building may be theirs now, but we still control the tunnels." The Unas nodded, "Yes my Lord."

Faith sat in a chair and sighed, "We have the old meat plant, but we still need to gain control of the tunnels." Faith keyed her mic, "Hey Shego anything on the reenforcements?" Shego looked at her computer, "They're still two hours out." Faith sighed, "And those two hours can feel like two hundred." Faith called Shego back, "Let me know when they arrive." Shego smiled, "You got it."

Shego sat back, and called Faith again, "Wish I was there fighting with ya." Faith snorted, "No you don't." Shego raised an eyebrow, "Why?" Faith sat back in the chair she was in, "Because there's enough symbiote toxin in the air to land you in the hospital for several days." Shego smiled, "I know but I still would like to be there." Faith smiled, "I agree." Faith looked at her watch, "Well chica, time to get back into the fight. We still have a pizza resturant to take." Shego nodded, "Good luck."

An hour and fifty minutes later somewhere over western Califorina O'Neill and the rest of the reenforcements were ready for action. O'Neill looked at the clock on the control panel of his F-302, "O'Neill to strike force, we are ten minutes from target, prepare for attack run." Teal'c called O'Neill, "Colonel O'Neill, Should we not contact the school before we make our run?" O'Neill shook hids head, "I knew I was forgetting something."

At the Command Center Shego was watching some of the action when a young girl looked up, "We have several inbound aircraft coming in from the east." Shego pressed a button and transfered the radar to the main screen. She was about to call the aircraft when O'Neill called first, "This is O'Neill I have an inbound strike force." Shego smiled, "Do the troops have the required weapons." O'Neill nodded, "The affermitive."

Shego nodded, "All teams will go straight to the Zone except for one team. They will remain here at the school for added security." O'Neill nodded, "Copy that, Team-Seven you will land at the school. All other teams will proceed to the Zone." Shego picked up her mic, "Faith call everyone back away from the Pizza resturant and take cover. Buffy you have the laser paint the building." Shego looked at the screen, "Colonel O'Neill, Pizza Resturant is yours and it is painted."

O'Neill called back, "Copy that two minutes from target." A young girl siting next to Faith looked at her, "What does she mean the target is painted. That building is a dump." Faith smiled, "She doesn't mean it like that. Buffy has a laser that will target the building for the inbound F-302s. The laser helps their missles hit what their fired at." The girl raised an eyebrow, "So the laser is acting as a GPS for the missles?" Faith nodded, "That right."

O'Neill looked at his weapons store, "One minute to target, all missles armed." A 302 pilot called O'Neill, "Hunter to Flight leader, I'm having problems with my arming sequence. Request permission to leave flight group and head to Edwards for repairs." O'Neill nodded, "Copy that Hunter, have a safe trip." O'Neill looked at his clock, "Five seconds to target. Five...Four...Three...Two...One. Flight leader Fox-One." A moment later several missles ripped into the old pizza building destirying it.

Faith smiled and keyed her mic, "Flight Leader this is Slayer-One. Delievery complete." O'Neill smiled, "As we always say 'Delieveries made in thirty minutes or less.'" Faith laughed, "Yea, well you better have a talk with the cook, my pizza was burnt." ONeill smiled, "Sorry, you didn't say how you wanted it cooked." Faith looked at the teams that were landing. A young woman ran up to her, "I'm Captain Yevette Keller, I was told to report to you for my orders."

Faith smiled, "You have only one order Captain. Kill all Vampires, Demons, and Unas." The Captain nodded, "Yes ma'am." Faith sighed, "Now that the pizza resturant and the Unas breeding center is destoryed lets take care of the tunnels leading to the ship and hellmouth." Buffy smiled, "You lead, I follow." Faith leaned in and gave a quick kiss to Buffy, "I love you." Buffy smiled, "I know."

After making several attack runs O'Neill looked at his weapons store list, "This is Flight Leader, time to head back to base."

Shego was sitting in her chair when O'Neill made his call. She leaned foward and keyed her mic "Flight Leader this is Slayer Command, thanks for the help." O'Neill responded, "My pleasure."

Shego called Faith, "Hey girl, the 302s are heading back to base now." Faith keyed her mic, "Understood, we're headed over to the plant now and try to take the tunnels." Shego rubbed her face, "Just be carful." Faith nodded, "I intend to." Kim keyed the mic, "Hey Faith, isnt there still a way to get down into the basement of the old high school?"

Faith nodded, "Yea, why?" Kim smiled, "I just came up with a plan that will stop them in their tracks and keep the Hellmouth closed so the Uber-Vampires don't get out." Faith smiled, "Speak it girl." Kim smiled, "Send Sam back to get some of the Tok'rs tunnel crystals, then you make a tunnel going from the school to theirs and then you can hit them from two sides." Sam smiled, "I heard what was said, and I'm on my way back to get the crystals."

In Mots Command Center Mot sat in his chair watching a desperate situation. He looked at the first Unas, "Have my escape shuttle prepaired." The first looked at Mot, "We don't have te power to energize the power cells, it was all being diverted to the hatchery to speed up the incubation process before the that hatchery was destoryed." Mot sighed, "Do we have enough to activate the self destruct?' The first shook his head, "No my Lord, even if we did I would not be able to activate it."

Mot leaned foward, "Why not?" The First handed Mot the readings, "There is an algorithm implanted in the self destruct program preventing me from accessing it. I have never seen an algorithm like this." Mot sat back, "Then what do we have left?" The First nodded, "We have only hope the tunnel to the Hellmouth is completed before we are defeated." Mot nodded, "Keep me informed of the situation, "I'll be in my privet chambers." The First bowed, "Yes my Lord."
