Chapter 26: Dusted
Buffy Summers thought that with all the big bads of the world either killed or shot into another dimension that things would be easier. That maybe she could have something of a peaceful life. She and Faith went into the police academy passed and became officers working in the supernatural division. The public knew about the supernatural; police were being trained on how to fight vampires and other demons.
Buffy even became a cop that dealt with it; she wasn't going to get away from it.
The issue was she was hoping this meant she'd have some time off.
No, she was heading home after her shift when she spotted a young woman being pulled into an alley by a vampire.
And before Buffy Summer's knew it, she had been pulled into a nest of vampires and fighting them.
She did call back up, and police officers soon arrived, but the slayer had to act before they showed up, or the girl would have been lunch.
So an hour later, a brawl was going on strong between the vampires and the police.
"Summers!" Faith Leah, fellow slayer and also new officer, yelled to her over the fight, "I thought you were heading home."
"I was!" Buffy replied, punching a vampire straight in the face. "Then, I got stuck in this mess."
"Suck for you,"
"I know, I already clocked out. I'm not even getting over time. I thought getting a job in fighting the baddies would mean I could at least clock out and relax."
"You should know better than that."
With the return of the magical things went nuts, new vampires got stronger, they didn't die as easy, and they could deal with sunlight.
So most of the force was outside the building, making sure none escaped while the slayers and some of the better fighters fought them inside.
Buffy and Faith fought from experience even with these stronger vampires. The other cops were not quiet up their level, so they had to keep an eye on them while fighting, which slowed the slayers down.
"Willow called it,"
A familiar voice called out from out of the shadow. Two figures in black jumped out, both of them were Buffy's exes.
"Angel. Spike." Buffy greeted them.
Angel explained, "You were running late, and Willow saw the news of a big vampire fight happening downtown."
Spike continued, "So, she rightfully assumed you'd be in the middle of this muck up."
Buffy was about to say something when she had to put extra effort into forcing a stake through a vampire.
Faith only replied with, "She wasn't wrong."
Angel told her, "She asked us to come help since she's expecting you."
"Right," Buffy sighed, she asked for the early shift today to be there at the opening of Willow's new empowerment center. "
"So, we had to crawl through the sewers to get here." Spike scoffed, hitting one of the vampires, "That witch better not say anything about the smell. I'm missing my shows for this."
Then one of the vampires dusted, without anyone hitting it.
"That was weird?" Buffy noted
Then one of the officers just dissolved, screams from outside as more people started to vanish.
"Summers?" Faith got Buffy's attention as she dissolved.
"Faith!"
"Buffy?"
"Luv?"
Buffy barely heard them call her just in time to see them dusted. The other vampires seeing their own vanish without being touched ran into the shadows to flee.
Buffy ran outside to the sight of cars crashing and people just dusting into nothing.
Buffy's turned on her phone and tried to make a call when it rang, "Buffy!"
"Dawn?" Buffy felt her heart jump into her throat.
"Something happening," Dawn gasped, " Xander and Andrew just got dusted in front of me, and Willow screamed and passed out."
"It's happening here too." Buffy heard crying over the phone, "Is that Joyce?"
"Yeah, Joyce is here." Dawn took a moment to kiss her baby. "She's still here; I think it's passing."
"Passing?" Buffy looked around; there were was a lot of chaos, but it did seem like no one was getting dusted anymore.
"I don't know how to explain it," Dawn took a breath, "Something happened. It- I don't know passed over us and kept going- it was fast- Buffy, It's everywhere."
Buffy's phone was already buzzing with a news alert, "Yeah, It looks like I gotta get back to work. It's happening all over the city, Hell, it's happening all over the world."
"Not just this one. Buffy, Remember I'm the Key and open up portals to other dimensions, and- well, I felt it. Whatever just happened moved everywhere. It's happening in every dimension."
The sister went quiet with that revelation as even now in other dimensions, and world monsters and demons alike fell into dust like ordinary vampires.
Author's Notes: Okay so in one night I got an anime, a cartoon and with this a live action series I sort of guess a comic book out. Okay so after Buffy ended on TV it continued on in the comics. I generally liked it, they did some fun stuff they couldn't do on tv because of budgets or actors not being available. Season 12 was a minseries comic that closed the universe. Welp, I'm going to continue from there.
So to explain some stuff, in Buffy she died and came back. She was in heaven, where ever she went it that kinda of dimension that we can't reach and the snap won't affect. like a true not supposed to come back afterlife.
As for who gets snapped, again its anything that interacts in the world and has some sort of souls. That means even undead like Spike and Angel could get dusted. Its canon that many Earth demons seem to have souls so yeah they will be effected and as for vampires. Yeah, the demons that inhabits the corpse serves as a soul, they have no physical forms and fill the gap so they will fit under the terms to get blipped. Truly soulless beings can avoid being snapped, in Angel there was a kid who was born without a soul so yeah that kid is unaffected because the snap wave would not register him as a living being.
Okay, remember Thanos fighting on Titan? Strange used a spell to make copies of himself and thanos used the soul stone to see which copy actually had a soul to pin point the doc. Just think of it like that, anything with something a kin to a soul would register as a target and the then mind stone calculate and flip the coin. Thank you for coming to my Ted talk. Leave reviews telling me what you think and what you like.
