"What do you mean the destruction of Magic, Abigail?" Giles asked.
"No time to explain, we need to get to this Cordelia's world. I can trace the path back to it, but we don't have a lot of time before it degrades. Once that happens, they will both be stuck and only god level intervention, will keep them from quickly deteriorating and dieing. Please, take my hand, my dear. I can use you to trace the path. Once there, I can explain to both groups, but we must hurry. The path is already degrading."
Deciding to trust her Cordelia-W reached out and took her hand. There was a flare of light and suddenly there were two Giles and two hers and two Xander's.
Everyone stared at each other and the odd sight of the other Cordelia holding a table over her head. She quickly lowered it and jumped across the room to land in her Xander's arms. He caught her and held her tight.
"Oh, god, I was so scared. I couldn't find you and this Xander-W smells wrong and Buffy's alive and they wouldn't believe me and I was trying prove it to them and don't let me go!"
"Wasn't planning on it, honey." Xander-P kissed her.
"Okay, what the hell is going here." Buffy demanded.
"What is going on here is you should be dead. You being dead is better for the world." Abigail said.
"Excuse me, who are you and why would say that to my Slayer."
"You have two Slayers, Rupert Giles and have been neglecting one."
"What are you talking about?"
"I'll explain. My name is Abigail Morris, I am Xander Harris' grandmother. In this reality, I died when he was five. I am the Medicine Woman of the Chumash Tribe and a seer." She looked at Xander-W. "Regardless of what your Buffy and Willow want to believe, you were always meant to be apart of the war against the Darkness, you always had a role. Because of them, that role has not been fulfilled. They want to believe themselves the only warriors, no one else. They have convinced themselves, your contributions were unnecessary. They are wrong. This world faces the same danger ours did. The destruction of Magic. Because of Buffy Summers and Willow, but started, by you."
"I hope you can explain that, because it makes no sense."
"The path to that end began when you shamed the vampire with a soul out of his cowardice into showing you the way to the Master's lair, where you revived her with CPR."
"What vampire with a soul? How can vampires have souls?" Xander-P exclaimed,
"What do you mean shamed? Xander followed Angel, Angel saved me."
"I know you want to believe it, but it simply isn't true. The people behind me have never even heard of a vampire with a soul, let alone met one. So ask yourself, how can I know? Because I am a seer. I saw that abomination you called a relationship, I saw you lie with the demonically infested corpse, soul or no soul. I saw the curse break. I saw your inability to do anything about the monster wearing the face of your lover. And yes, I saw Xander shame him into helping to save you, before that. But saving you started the path to the destruction of Magic. There can't be two Slayers in the world. It damages the essence of the Slayer. Faith Lehane is the True Slayer, not you. Your existence leads to other things. Willow studying Magic and having no respect for it. No stable foundation, misusing it for personal gain. Using it to manipulate Xander into kissing her in order to break him and Cordelia up. Using it to mind rape people, using it to kill and torture humans, trying to end the world in just a few short years. You see, Willow, you were not alone when you cursed Angelus the second time. You had no power at that time. You opened your soul up and accidentally traded a piece of it to a demon that lent you the power. This can be proven with a simple diagnostic spell."
"As for you, Buffy, you would have died a second time and she would have forced you back into this life. You would have believed yourself in heaven, but would have actually been reincarnated, just as the soul of your vampire lover had. Willow doesn't know it, but she murdered the unborn child the soul had reincarnated into, to make the curse work. Again, this can be proven. Simply do a past life regression spell. See for yourself what the last life the soul remembers is. If she forces you back into the world a second time, the damage to the Slayer essence will be greater still, so great it will allow the First to manifest. The First is the incorporeal remains of the last Old One, the one that created vampires. You will then ignore all the clues, that the Oracles and others will give you, and you and Willow will activate every potential world wide, because you want to be the general of a Slayer army. But you will neglect to find out that the potential exists from before birth and only goes dormant when puberty ends. Thousands will die because of that act. Babies tearing their way out their mothers wombs. Little girls going to hug their grandparents, their best friends, their pets and crushing their spines. Criminals, insane people and all of them will stand out like neon signs. Attracting vampires and demons, they and those around them will die. And then a new monster will come and you will decide that destroying Magic will fix all your problems. Only it doesn't, more die, many more."
"And your vampire cursed with a soul? Manipulated into believing he is a Champions for the Powers, but that will be part of a manipulation on the part of of a fallen power. One that will be attracted by Willow's misuse of Magic. It will manipulate Cordelia into being it's mother, forcing her to give birth to the Devourer and leaving her a brain dead husk before she ever sees 23. While your Angel loses hope as the soul is bathed the acid of the demon. He will ultimately, if accidentally, send Los Angeles to hell."
"Xander would have been manipulated into a love cursed before it ever began. His potential unfulfilled, he would have died half way around the world, trying to put right what you made wrong."
