F/F, F/M, M/M, Other +Tristan Summers had been through it all in recent years, following the deaths of his adoptive parents he had been a minion for Drusilla, a lover to vampire Dante, a slayer, a slayer killer, a vampire, possessed and then a spirit following his own death. Yes, Tristan like his mother had now died twice.
Tristan had left the astral plane due to some divine intervention from Cordelia Chase but instead of returning to the normal world he found himself by stopping in a long gone Sunnydale, along with his mother and her loved ones, some of whom believed he had something to do with their current predicament.
After hitting up the Blood Factory for some slaying with Dawn and Willow turning her enemy into a rat, Tristan decided to head back to the Magic Box to see if anyone had found out the reason behind all of this current madness leaving Dawn and Willow to check in on their former home 1630 Revello Drive but upon arriving back at the Magic Box he quickly realized more chaos awaited.
"Well this is rather disappointing," Tristan mumbled to himself, as he looked around the main floor of the Magic Box, noticing nobody but him was in the shop. "Surely they did not find a way out and just left me here...although cannot say that I would not do the same...well I'd take Buffy with me...maybe Willow at a push."
There was something off about nobody being in the Magic Box considering if they were going to find a magical solution to getting out of this dreary world then it would be here where all the books, spells, ingredients for potions and weapons were held so Tristan decided to look further to see if anyone was elsewhere within the Magic Box area, unconvinced the entire gang would just leave it unattended.
Tristan wasted no time walking through the main floor of the Magic Box and into the back room which doubled as the training room but once he arrived in the other room, he found nobody there once again.
Suddenly out of nowhere, Tristan heard an inhumane growling noise coming from out in the back alleyway of the Magic Box and despite his better judgement he decided to investigate further, figuring if there was some sort of demon attacking one of the gang he had better go slay it.Upon walking into the back alleyway of the Magic Box, Tristan could see nothing there except bins and rubbish bags but yet the sound of the demonic growling only grew louder and then suddenly the loud clanking noise which sounded eerily familiar to something crashing against something metal and that's when the male slayer noticed shattered glass spread across the ground.
He decided to walk towards the shattered glass and as he did the sound of the demonic howling sounded closer and closer before he noticed the shattered glass served as a ceiling to the basement he was once trapped inside and upon further investigating he noticed two gargoyle demons attempting to crash into a cage door to force it open and inside of the cage door was none other than Giles and Xander who had obviously locked themselves in to get away from the gargoyles.
"Well Rupert how the tables have turned," Tristan laughed. "Last time it was me inside the cage with two slayers serving as prison guards but this time around your trapped with a halfwit and two gargoyles."
"Ha! I knew you were behind this all along." Xander shouted at Buffy's son. "Buffy wanted to believe the best in you, but I knew you were rotten to the core."
"Please, if I wanted to play prisoner and guard, I would have killed you straight away." Tristan snapped back at Xander, before turning his attention to Giles. "And I prefer whips and chains over cages Mr Giles."
"Well then if you are not behind this then please do assist us and kill these wretched things!" Giles told the male slayer.
"You mean help the guy who tried to murder me?" Tristan scoffed. "I know I am supposed to be a better person now but that seems like some above and beyond to me."
"Would you please stop messing around and help us already?" Giles shouted at him, knowing Tristan was having too much fun from their predicament.
"Fine," Tristan reluctantly sighed, as he pulled a sharp knife from out of his right boot and began climbing down the ladders towards the basement. "This better score me some major redemption points in the long run!"
Tristan climbed his way halfway down the ladders before jumping off the steps, launching himself towards the two furious gargoyles before landing on top of one and instantly stabbing it through the head with the knife in his hand.
Seeing the other fall to the ground dead, the remaining gargoyle jumped on Tristan and began attacking the male slayer with his claws, knocking the knife out of Tristan's hands. As Tristan struggled to gain control over his fight with the second gargoyle he quickly began reaching for the knife he had dropped before grabbing it with his hand and stabbing the second gargoyle repeatedly in the chest before leaving the knife in the gargoyle's body as he threw it's body off him and quickly rose back onto his own two feet.
"It's blood..." Tristan said in a state of shock as he looked down at his hands to see they were covered in blood, blood that look way too much like human blood for Tristan's liking.
"Yeah I always find it weird when a monster's blood is not all cartoon like." Xander stated, as Giles began unlocking the cage door.
"It looks just like..." Tristan mumbled to himself, still trembling by the shock.
"You did what you had to do to protect us, they were cruel creatures if you did nothing then it would have eventually killed us." Giles stated as he and Xander walked out of the cage, attempting to reassure a trembling Tristan.
"Yeah you're right, still makes me a killer though, I guess good or bad I am always going to be a killer." Tristan replied to the former watcher, realizing one way or another his kill count would just continue growing, even if he did not want it to.Elsewhere in the Magic Box, Buffy, and Spike had just walked into the main shop floor eager to check in with the gang only to find Faith stood behind the shop counter eagerly awaiting for them as both Buffy and Spike quickly realized that Faith had now been pulled into this otherworldly experience.
"Somebody want to explain to me how the hell we are back in Sunnydale?" Faith asked them as Buffy and Spike walked over towards her. "I'm guessing some big bad evil has dragged me into another dimension."
"Yeah, that pretty much sums it up!" Buffy replied to her fellow slayer.
"Welcome to the party you are late." Spike said to Faith with a sarcastic tone in his voice.
"First Sid, then The Master and now you...wonder who else is going to surprise us with a visit before the shadow demon shows itself so we can kill it." Buffy informed Faith.
"Wait, did you just say the shadow demon?" Faith asked, but before Buffy had a chance to answer, Giles, Tristan and Xander walked out of the training room and into the shop leaving Faith completely stunned to see Tristan alive.
"Well if it is not my bar buddy," Tristan said with a smile, clearly happy to see Faith once again. "I do hope Rogue's has not burned down to the ground since I've been...well since I did the whole dead thing again!"
"You really are your mother's son," Faith replied to him as she rushed over and shocked the male slayer with a hug. "As for the bar I made sure not to wreck the second one although if you die on me again, I'll burn it to the ground."
"Well, you are the first person to greet me without accusing me for all this." Tristan admitted as he broke off their hug, instantly making Buffy, Giles and Xander guilty, Spike not so much.
"Your style is more brutal than brainy besides even if you had the kind of power to remake Sunnydale how the hell would you know exactly what it looks like." Faith answered him, making it clear she did not suspect him whatsoever.
"Hey, I was all for blaming the shadow demon too!" Buffy butted in, still somewhat jealous of Faith's bond with her son.
"Where is Dawn and Willow anyway?" Xander asked the gang, eager to be reunited with his best friend and his girlfriend.
"They went home," Tristan told him, "Not sure if it was for patrolling reasons or just nostalgia, luckily for you and the watcher I decided to head back here!"
"Yes, we are rather thankful you were here to save us from the gargoyles." Giles thanked the male slayer.
"Look at you are saving, instead of trying to gill Mr. G, you have grown." Faith teased Tristan.
"Again, I pointed that out to everybody earlier." Buffy chimed in once more, this time everyone noticing her jealousy over Faith and Tristan. "We should probably go check my house and make sure Dawn and Willow have not got into any trouble..."
