"Can we retire yet, Xander?" Cordelia asked, after they'd destroyed the Soldier of Darkness. "I'm tired."
"Can you hold on until June? The Summers Center opens then and we can dedicate ourselves to training Gunn's crew and finishing the training of our group. It'll be a full time job."
"Heidi and I aren't ready to retire." Tor told them. "We can take over running the patrols while you do the training."
"And Rupert and I can find those dangerous artifacts we identified and acquire and destroy them." Jenny felt satisfied, using a modified version of the force field spell to drive the Soldier toward the center of town while the Anla'Shok fighters had provided fire support had been scary, after they'd tracked it by following the faint trail of Hellmouth energy clinging to it, but she'd held it together. She'd faced her own Mora'dum and led the group as they driven the thing straight into the two heavy duty machine guns Xander and Cordelia had gotten a hold of. To be on the safe side, once it was down, Xander had cut it's head off. "While we find a way to help Doyle."
"Sunnydale is a lot safer these days." Xander observed. "And unless another Big Bad shows up, it'll just be a matter of being vigilant while we prepare the next generation to continue the fight. Eventually, we'll be able to take the fight to the rest of the world."
The others nodded in agreement.
It was nothing less than a vow.
