The Male Slayer - A Buffy The Vampire Slayer Fanfiction

VII. The First Evil (Chapter 4)

"What do you think?" Buffy asked them all.

"That depends. Are you in any way...kidding?" Xander quipped.

"You don't think it's a good idea?" Buffy questioned.

"It's pretty radical, B." Faith told her. 

"It's a lot more than that." Giles announced, standing up from his spot by the bedroom window, "Buffy, what you said, it- it files in the face of everything we've ever- every generation has ever done in the fight against evil. I think it's bloody brilliant." 

"You mean that?" Buffy asked in disbelief.

"If you want my opinion." Giles said.

"I really do." she returned. 

"Whoa, hey. Not to poop on the party here, but I'm the guy that's gonna have to pull this thing off." Willow panicked.

"It is beaucoup d'mojo." Faith joked.

"That's not real French, right?" James asked her.

"Wouldn't you like to know." Faith said, smirking at James flirtatiously.

"This goes beyond anything I've ever done. It's a total loss of control, and not in a nice, wholesome, my girlfriend has a pierced tongue kind of way." Willow explained, earning both confused and embarrassed looks around the room.

"I wouldn't ask if I didn't think you could do it." Buffy spoke up, ending the silence.

"I- I'm not sure that I'm stable enough." Willow replied, her voice shaking.

"You can do this, Willow. We'll get the coven on the line, and we'll find out how they can help." Giles told her, supportively. 

"Oh, is that Neil?" James asked.

"Yes, you're familiar?" Giles confirmed.

"Very." James responded.

"Oh!" Dawn exclaimed, causing everyone to turn and look at her, "'Pierced tongue.'"

"Welcome to Sunnydale High." Robin Wood greeted them all as he led the group of Potentials into the building, "There's no running in the halls, no yelling, no gum chewing. Apart from that, there's only one rule. If they move, kill them." 

Buffy stopped next to Robin, "Okay, Potentials, in the basement. Follow Faith and Spike." 

The Potentials did as they were told. Xander spoke to them as they passed him, "If you have to go to the bathroom, it's to your left. If you don't have to go to the bathroom, picture what you're about to face. Better to go now." 

"Good one, Xander." James told him, his face never cracking a smile. 

"Appreciate it." Xander replied, doing the same. 

"Willow, my office is straight through there." Robin told her, pointing down one of the many hallways.

"Its right over the seal." Buffy clarified.

"I'll start getting you set up." Kennedy said to Willow, taking her bag off of her. 

"Thanks."

Robin gathered the rest of the gang's attention as Willow and Kennedy left, "Okay, civilians. The vampires get upstairs, we have three areas they could get through to another building and then down into the sewers. Down the hall in the Atrium, the north hall here, and the primary target, through the lounge straight into the Science Building. Now odds are, most of them will head there."
