Space Vampire & The Final Battle Feed Back Please: LJEFFERS@HIGHLAND.NET ************************************************************* The Final Battle 1/3 By NightHunter It had been a year since Buffy had given up being the Slayer. She and her husband were now living in New York. They moved there after the destruction of the Hellmouth in Sunnydale. Willow, who was still learning how to control the change into a Werewolf, had moved in with them at Buffy's insistence that she could help her defend the children if Spike ever returned. In a dark underground cavern Spike and Druscilla were planing the death of the Slayer. Spike had found one of the spell books left when Willow had killed the witch. "Spike, miss Edith says that HE'S coming back!" "Who's coming back, love?" "Why, Roller Boy, who do you think she's talking about. Like they said in that old movie; 'I'm back!" Then as the shadows parted an all to familiar form emerged. "You, but I saw Xander shoot you with a crossbow." "Well Spike" replied Angel drawing his chair close to him "In over 200 years I've learn a few things, now meet the down fall of the Slayer" From out of the shadows steps a demon which Spike can sense is old: older then any other that he had ever encountered. Power radiated from him in waves of evil. The stranger places his hand on Angels' shoulder "Soon, my son, this world will once again feel the power of the DRAGON." Watcher HQ, London, England 3:45 A.M., Monday John entered the control room where a network of computers keep track of all possible future Slayers. When alarms started going off he watched in horror as lights on the center board signaled the death of a possible Slayer. In less then 2 minutes over 40 lights had vanished. The Home Of The 1st Watcher, London, England 3:50 A.M. Monday An old hand reaches out pressing a button that causes one of the walls to open the inside walls are lined with the old Watchers Journals. Another button is pushed and the old journals move aside to reveal a large view screen. On the screen is the face of young watcher. "My Lord, forgive me for calling this early, but our satellite monitors are showing the deaths of over 75% of all possible Slayers. What do we do?" "First thing, call me Giles. I always hated that title Lord. Second thing, place the whole Network on call and send everyone we have to locate and protect the other possible Slayers. As of this date, I'm invoking code Black!" Watcher Heli-pad, London, England 4:00 A.M. Monday Giles boards WATCHER 1 (The most powerful Craft in the Watcher Fleet) carrying only one old book. The helicopter takes off. "Lord Giles, it'll take us about 6 hours to reach Watcher Control New York." Said the pilot. As Giles sleeps his dreams take him back to the day that a rebellious young girl came into his library. He wanted to show her the way of the Slayer: instead, she showed him that in this new world all the rules were changing. Then she threw all the rules out by bringing others into the Circle of the Watcher & Slayer. A smile appeared on his face as he remembered the first two who would be come the core group. Something bigger and better than had ever been before. Alexander (Xander) Harris joked about everything to hide his fear, but when he was needed he was always there for Buffy. He became her lifeline, helping her cope with everything that had happened. He became her rock of strength and his love for her never wavered. Then there was Willow, shy little Willow. Who we Sometimes thought would break, but, time and time again she proved that we needed her. She could use those blasted machines like no one else. After these two, more would come, Cordilla, Oz, Miss Calendar, and finally, Joyce Summers. "Sir, we've just got clearance to land. And a car is waiting for you." ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 8 Aug 1998 09:07:03 EDT From: Subject: BUFFYFIC: "Starting Over" (11/13) "Starting Over" (11/13) Section 2 by Jaclyn Link TITLE: Starting Over E-MAIL: Angel75427@aol.com DISTRIBUTION: Ask me first, but I=92ll probably say yes.

Author~ Shani Notes~ in psychoanalytlic theories, the libido is the driving force behind all human actions Summary~ A Buffy/Angel story with a few twists. Involves characters from General Hospital, but yoiu don’t have to watch GH to understand this fic. I did change a thing or two around for you GH fans Disclaimer~ All characters of Buffy the Vampire Slayer belong to Joss Whendon, Mutant Enemy Productions, Kuzui Enterprises, Sandollar Productions, and 20th Century Fox. “Forever Home” belongs to Wally Kurth and can be found on the General Hospital CD. All characters of General hospital belong to ABC. Chapter 12, Forever Home < Sleep, baby sleep, While the world passes by I'll be the keeper of your dreams tonight I'll be your eyes until you can see. I'll be your voice until you can speak. In this land of strangers> Angel ignored the stares from the other people in the room. He slowly walked over to where Buffy lay. He had no idea what had happened. All he knew was that Arcanus was no longer inside of him. ‘I’ll get you out of there.’ He promised silently. He took a deep breath and released it slowly. “What happened?” The question was directed to anyone that could answer it, and apparently, no one could. < I'll be the one to love and protect you, guide and respect you, In my arms you will be In my arms you will be forever home.> Giles stepped up next to Angel. He had lost the woman that he loved, and he wasn’t going to let that happen to the man next to him. For the first time, it hit him that the man next to him was not the man that had killed Jenny. Angel finally looked up at him. “She, she performed the binding ritual, to bind Arcanus to a blessed object without risk of destroying you. It, it knocked her unconscious...and then she and the cross were surrounded in that globe of light. We don’t know what it is.” Giles said. “It electrified Xander when he tried to get to Buffy. Before she was in there, we know that she had a faint pulse.” He finished. “I have a pulse too.” Angel said. They stared at him in disbelief. “I don’t understand it. I don’t know how my body could still be alive without the demon’s imortality, but I’m breathing.” Angel turned to Buffy, ‘You hear that? I’m human, but I’m not really alive without you.’ < Sleep, baby sleep, In an ocean of love No way of knowing What you're thinking of Close to the heart That's where you belong You're part of my spirit Part of my song First last and always> Nikolas could not believe this. First she looses him. Then, she gets him back. Then, she looses him. then, he comes back and looses her. This would be all over for Nikolas in a day or two, but for Buffy and her friends it was everyday life. Everyday she puts her life at risk to save people that don’t even know that they’re in danger. He sighed. His uncle wouldn’t let him become very involved. In a way Nik felt relieved, but he also felt helpless. “Are you ok?” Nik asked Angel. They hadn’t really become friends, but they got along. “As soon as she’s ok, I’ll be alright.” Nik gave a nod and Angel turned away. This was definately an expirience he would never forget, it was something that he didn’t want to forget. He would remember this and these people always. < I'll be the one to love and protect you guide and respect you In my arms you will be In my arms you will be In my arms you will be In my arms you will be forever home> Giles forced himself into Watcher mode. Buffy was like a daughter to him. She was his Slayer. She *is* his Slayer. He had read in the Watcher diaries that many Watchers avenge the death of their Slayers, then either choose to provide as much information as possible to new Watchers...or commit suicide. He liked top think that he would be able to go on, but sometimes even thought was too much to bare. He continued to flip through the book that he had been reading. He was chosen to protect her, and that’s what he planned to do. “Angel?” They heard Buffy say. “Are...you told me that you were human...” They stared at her in disbelief. < Have you come to show me what love's all about? To lift up my faith higher than doubt? In my arms you will be In my arms you will be In my arms you will be In my arms you will be forever home. Forever home. Forever home. ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 8 Aug 1998 22:39:14 EDT From: Subject: BUFFYFIC: BBETA: this is not a fanfic, just a reguest This is a multi-part message in MIME format. - --part0_902630355_boundary Content-ID: <0_902630355@inet_out.mail.aol.com.1> Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII please reply to the following reguest here, buffyl0ve@aol.com - --part0_902630355_boundary Content-ID: <0_902630355@inet_out.mail.aol.com.2> Content-type: message/rfc822 Content-transfer-encoding: 7bit Content-disposition: inline From: BuFFyIbEE@aol.com Return-path: To: BuFFyL0vE@aol.com Subject: Fwd: BUFFY: in need of the best fanfic!!!!
