Chapitre 42: Ch.41
The slayers have well, slayed several dozen vampires and even more demons during their stay here. It's not really a problem but they've drawn some attention that the slayers from the Sunnydale hellmouth have not only survived but are camped out in LA.
Sighing I told the group. "Buffy and Faith aren't exactly mobile even with healing spells. Sineya sort of ride them hard and well, we just stopped not too long ago."
Giles was cleaning his glasses while I told him. "Pick a city anywhere in the world. You girls want to wipe out all the demons in LA I'm game but just know it'll be a war just as big if not bigger than the last one. We need to focus on getting up and running and finding all the activated slayers."
Giles spoke up. "I agree. The wise course of action would be to regroup and consolidate our own center of power. Perhaps in Devon or Ireland. We can put down the compound anywhere once it's consecrated and purified grounds."
I nodded. "Tell the girls if they need to let off some steam, do so, but stay in groups of ten or more. LA isn't like Sunnydale. The creatures here always have bigger groups. Everyone is apart of a faction of demonic power. And each of those powers in some way serve Wolfram and Hart."
I looked over each of them and said. "Where Angel and his group have now taken over."
Giles dropped his glasses. "Are you sure?"
I nodded. "I can feel every vampire and werewolf in this city, hell, in this world. I know what Angel's presence feels like and he's there. He's not in danger either, he's actually happy."
They all looked sick by my words. Kendra finally asked. "Isn't Angel the vampire with a soul that Buffy-"
I growled and she held up her hands. "Just asking geez."
Alice told her. "He was a champion for the light, now it's not so much. I can see his champion position fading even now as he's consumed by the Wolf, Ram and Hart."
I sighed. "We can't make anything permanent until Faith and Buffy are up so we'll reconvene tomorrow when they've rested, eaten and can walk."
Xander sighed and said. "What do we do about the girls until then?"
I shrugged. "The motel is a nonviolence zone but I can take that down if need be and let them spar. They shouldn't go to far unless it gets dramatic."
Willow spoke up. "Now that the slayer goddess or whatever has purified my magic's I can do spells without worrying to much about control. I can start teaching Xander and Dawnie what you haven't gotten around to yet."
I shook my head. "I'd personally like you to refrain from using and taking in magic's from nature until I can make you a cleansing amulet. That way you'll never have to worry about corruption again unless you start using the dark stuff again."
Willow shook her head. "No, no, I'm not going down that path again, but you're right, better safe than sorry. I can still assign homework though can't I?"
I gave her a droll stair. "All the materials are in the compound which I'll be damned if I take out near a Wolfram and Hart branch. They have the power hundreds of demon dimensions at their beck and call. Not to mention this hellmouth is almost as polluted as the Sunnydale hellmouth and that's not including the easy access dimensions all over the damn place."
She looked glum now. "We need Buffy to decide where to go to next. I'm not liking this city the longer we stay in it."
I shrugged. "If it makes you feel any better I can dust every vampire in the city with a thought."
Giles asked. "Why haven't you done so already?"
I shrugged. "Technically Angel is a vampire in the city and with so many it'd be nearly impossible without access to my full powers to keep him out of it. And I'd imagine Buffy'd be a little mad at me for killing him. I don't want her sad and she'd be sad if he died without her being able to say goodbye or even have a say in it."
With a thought I smiled. "But what I can do is kill all vamps in a few blocks and slowly spread outward until it gets close to Wolfram and Hart."
Xander smiled. "Yeah, do that, that sounds like a plan."
I closed my eyes and found them all before killing them with simple fire spells. I continued until I was forced to stop or risk killing Angel. "Half the city is cleaned of vampires. The girls are on their way back and they're freaked out because of my actions. They were fighting some of the vamps I killed."
Not ten minutes later Rona and some of the slayers came in talking about the vampires that suddenly burst into flame out of nowhere.
I smirked and Giles told them. "That was Ryan here. He just cleaned out half the city of vampires in a few moments."
They all looked to me and I smiled. "Well, you're still all slayers so I still have half my power. Killing a few thousand vampires with a thought is nothing. If I had my full strength I could dust all the vampires on this planet with a thought."
They started asking questions and Andrew started fantasizing to which I immediately removed his mouth and he pouted and gave me a narrowed eye stare. I snorted. "Maybe leave your superhero crap for those that like capes. Totally ridicules notion to fly around it tights and capes but leave your face unguarded. You'd swallow a million bugs by the time you landed. Your face would look like the front of a car windshield."
He tried to talk and Xander poked fun a bit until Giles started to get annoyed. I gave him his mouth back with the understanding that he kept his fantasies away from the meetings.
With that I gave the girls stacks of cash from Sunnydale and left. I teleported to a French bakery in well, France, and bought some delicious religieuse and opera cake for the girls. I nearly bought all the bakery had before teleporting back to the hotel and setting them out on the counters.
The girls attacked and inhaled them as I brought them out before I told them there was no more. I then took Alice into the bedroom where Faith and Buffy were resting and woke them up to eat.
I gave the rest of the baked goods to them which wasn't nearly enough so I had them tell me what they wanted and from where before going and getting them barbecue and fried chicken with pizza and cocktail weenies.
It was a weird order but I got it all and brought it back for them. They chowed down while I simply watched them enjoy it. After a bit I looked to Alice who shivered and shook her head. "Not happening. You've already warn them out till they can't walk. You've had enough sex for a while."
I looked at the girls as they all three shook their heads. "We can't take much more Ry, let us rest a couple days and we'll be slipping away for quickies in no time."
I sighed. "In that case I need to know the destination for our headquarters. The girls are getting kinda ripe and we need the compound out so it's time you settled on a destination. It can be anywhere in the world I promise."
Faith and Alice turned to face Buffy as well and she asked. "How long would it take to set up the compound? Ball park it for me?"
I shrugged. "I've got more power and control than before so an hour maybe less. Then we're up and running. But from there it's time we start making ourselves into something more. The watchers had a council and they screwed the pooch on that. If I might suggest, we make a slayer council. Once we get it up and running I can start purifying the second ward stone and get the second or linked compound up and running. From there the world is your oyster."
Buffy frowned. "Not in LA. Cleveland has a hellmouth as well but I don't want to live there or near another one. We'll do like you said and build on what we have. From there we can sleep safe at night and fight monsters wherever needed at a moments notice. So what we need right now is two things, a search squad to retrieve new slayers and a home base squad to continue building on what we have and relay information to the squad or squads out there finding slayers."
I nodded. "Before we leave I'm sure Willow will tell you but there's a slayer in this city that just awakened. Buffy, I think you should add one more squad or group to that. Every slayer needs a watcher and these girls are going to need trained."
I turned to Faith. "You should lead the real life training. You're more brutal and up close with your methods."
I turned to Alice and she smiled. "Watcher extraordinare here I come. Besides that I'm apart of the slayer's coven with you, Xander, Dawn, Willow and Tara."
I chuckled and looked towards Buffy who rolled her eyes. "Yes, fine. Watchers are needed to. Once we're up and running at full steam we have a lot to do."
I sighed. "And now the place Buffy. I can literally move heaven and earth and put us on the moon safely if that's what you want. Just remember the moon has demons to. They feed on crazy people."
She sighed. "Don't remind me. As for the location, I'm thinking Scotland. It has a lot of open area and more to the point it's both far enough from any hellmouth's and center enough to make everything work."
I kissed her lightly before saying. "Tomorrow after you tell everyone I'll transport us all there. For now I'll head there and find the land and get it all ready."
She nodded and I teleported alway. I landed near Glasgow and headed Cairngorms national park. I found a decent valley there and purified it all before taking out the compound. It settled down nicely as I removed the soil where necessary to fit the basement.
When I was done with that I got to work purifying the second ward stone of all the evil magic's Wolfram and Hart has done to it. It took half the day until I finished weaker now than before. Luckily the cloaking wards on the compound prevent scrying by anything weaker than a full powered god.
When I finished that I got to work building a mirror copy of the compound and adding even more room. With two stones the power multiplies exponentially. By midnight I'd finished the extra add ons and ward schemes. I couldn't add those specifically to the existing ones but just having such stones close to each other was enough for the multiplication effect.
When I finished moving at speeds beyond human or even vampire understanding the basic compound structure was done and all it needed was paint and some furniture. I teleported away to get just that before finishing up with all the new additions and the extra special rooms.
When I was done I started building portal arches for each hellmouth location and each country besides. Chile, Cleveland, LA, and even to Sunnydale should it be needed later. The major cities around the world were first, then the places I knew would be trouble like Africa. I of course made sure one in Devon was ready as well.
I had to do it the hard way and build an arch in each connecting city and place as well because I lacked my full power which could simply connect two points. I bought a large house in each place as a base of operations and did the sanctuary spells and wards to each one as I bought and grew most of the resources until it was time to return to my girls.
I'd barely finished it all in time and now I'd done a something for each of them. Soon enough I'm hopping to see my girls happy. When I teleported back to the hotel I grabbed a shower and heard them moving around in the bedroom.
Smiling I went in and found them both standing with shaky legs for a minute until they regained their strength and had a more confident step. I told them. "It's ready. I've spent all of yesterday and last night doing a lot of the hard work. It's up and running now and there's approximately five hundred rooms that will need filled."
They both stilled before Faith spoke up. "Jesus, you don't expect they'll all want to live there at once do you?"
I shook my head. "No, but I've made so many in case it comes down to apocalypse crunch time and we need a spacious place for the whole organization. I've built portals to everywhere I could think of including all the hellmouth's and every major country out there. I bought houses and used the sanctuary charms plus ward stones to protect them all over the world and I've even purified the ward stone so it's all up and running."
I rubbed my neck saying. "I don't know if I missed anything but I wanted to see you all happy and we've been here a week. It's time we were mobile. Every safe house has SUV's and cash for emergencies. I've also set up accounts all over the world for the council or organization. Whatever you want to call it. We've got a total of seventeen billion in the bank with several million set aside in each account. I took a trip to the magical underground markets to load up on protection talismans and amulets for each of the girls and all the newbies."
Both Buffy and Faith were stunned silly for a while before they both hugged me, thanking me for doing so much and taking a load off their minds. I sighed and enjoyed their embrace before heading out to the group.
All the girls were gathered with Robin, Giles and Xander. Sighing Buffy told them. "We can't stay here. It's a hellmouth all it's own and I won't have another situation like Sunnydale. We need resources and connections and we need them fast."
With a deep breath she looked at me before continuing. "Ryan has, on my orders, set us up in a safe place in Scotland. It's magically hidden and has portals all across the globe with safe houses on each end. All safe houses are magically protected and he's taken the liberty of outfitting it with cars, money and charms. All hellmouth's have a safe house and a portal to the sanctuary. I'm not gonna lie to you, he's done more last night than we've done all year in preparations. The sanctuary has changed and grown and will continue to do so as will the slayer organization. We have a calling, to combat evil. Well this is our first steps in kicking it to the ground and making it nothing."
The girls all cheered and when it quieted down Buffy continued. "Saying as much, it's time I let you know that you'll have more diverse duties from now on. Some of you will be working side by side like usual, others may be around the world tracking down slayers. All I ask is that you remember that we stick together no matter where you are. If you're outnumbered you call for backup and we'll send in the troops, and in Ryan's case, the big guns. We have your backs out there and we will protect you, to that end-"
She nodded to me and I waved a hand summoning the talismans. "Ryan has procured talismans and amulets to help protect you from harm. Now not all slayers may want to join us and that's fine. But all slayers will receive talismans and be informed of how to contact us in emergencies. They may not join our case but they are our sisters and we protect our own."
The girls all took theirs and more appeared in front of the scoobies as well. I sighed. "You've all seen how a talisman can protect and in Anya's case save another from death itself. Now the things to know are that these aren't nearly that powerful. I had to sacrifice a lot to make that one talisman and I can't do that again."
"These are bought, but fully checked and enhanced by myself. They won't bring you back from the dead, but they'd stop a bullet or a beheading cold. It's up to you to keep yourselves safe until backup arrives and I guarantee you it will arrive if I have to teleport all the slayers I know on this planet to that place to pull your asses out of the fire."
I turned to Buffy saying. "Room 210 is what you want."
She nodded. "Alright ladies and gentlemen, room 210 is the portal to the sanctuary. No hair pulling or pushing. Scoobies and the first fifteen stay. We have a sister in this city somewhere and it's time we bring her home."
She turned to me and asked. "Where?"
I sighed and felt out for the answer until I heard it and the world shifted as I teleported us all to where I heard her call. We arrived at a psychiatric hospital and they all blanched. I ignored them and told Buffy. "She's more slayer than most. Closer to the essence. She can feel me now."
Buffy nodded. "Wait here. We don't need her acting up because she knows you're close. She could kill people by accident."
I nodded and she took the slayers and Willow with her to fool the human minds. Thirty minutes later they came back out with a bound girl that took one look at me and lunged, trying to get closer. Sighing I looked her in the eyes as I moved closer. "Let her go some Sineya, you're damaging her more. You know this isn't necessary."
As if on cue Buffy and Faith circled me while the girl broke down in sobs. Sighing I held her up and told Rona. "You and the others hold her. When we get to sanctuary I'll help her mind. She's clearly been traumatized, the poor girl."
Rona grabbed her and asked. "What about those two?"
She motioned to Buffy and Faith who were waiting for me to respond to them. I sighed. "They'll have to wait a while, the injured get tended to first, she understands that. It's why they're waiting and not tearing at my clothes."
Willow spoke up. "We're done inside. It'll be like she was never there."
I nodded and used my power once more to take us all to sanctuary. When we arrived both Buffy and Faith moved to me but stopped when I went to the girl first. I told her softly. "I'm going to enter you mind and help you sort out any problems you're working with. I think whatever happened to you was done long before the slayer stuff."
She ripped her straight jacket before saying. "Slayer, strong. Never weak."
Sighing I asked. "Will you let me in?"
She stiffened before nodding as I understood Sineya was influencing her to give what I wanted so I'd return to her. I entered her mind with a simple push and found chaos, true and absolute chaos. Slayer memories and dreams mixed with her own and her psychosis.
Dying I found the scared little girl inside and asked her. "Do you trust me?"
She looked at me for a minute and nodded. I sighed. "Then I'm going to have you do some things and once you're done all this will be put away where it belongs. No more nightmares and no more bad dreams if you don't want them."
She reluctantly followed my instructions and built a basic old fashioned recording device called a book. I know, not original but the little girl inside isn't very knowledgeable. I spent what felt like forever going through her memories with her until finally she was able to think straight again.
Her mental self grew but it wasn't the same as her outer appearance just yet. We worked through the painful real memories one at a time before sorting the slayer memories until she understood the difference and what she was. For her I scryed the location of her family's killer and her tormentor and gave her the results.
It was a graveyard where his family had buried him. She didn't like it but understood he was dead. Sighing I withdrew from her mind and we broke eye contact. I felt a bit tired from the thorough deep dive but otherwise fine as I told them. "Let her go. She's healed. She'll tell you what happened when she's ready."
I turned to see both Faith and Buffy now circling me again. Chuckling I told the others. "Tonight we'll have a meeting to see who gets which team to start bringing in girls or at least getting out the word to them of what they are. Until then rest up and gear up. At dawn the slayer organization goes live and you'll all be moving all over the world with missions."
I teleported Buffy, Faith and I to the generals quarters and they pounced as soon as they saw where we were. After a few hours I stop it as we had work to do and they'd be cross with me if they couldn't walk. Sineya didn't get it at first but she understood it was apart of their duty to protect this world and me so she released them with a very tempting promise of more later.
Both Buffy and Faith May have road back seat but neither were completely away from the experience as their own orgasms hit them all at once when they could feel their own bodies again. I held them through it and when they came down tired and weak they told me. "This can't happen every time we find new girls, we'd both be unable to walk permanently within a few months!"
I sighed. "It won't. Sineya is just getting used to being more awake and wants to feel alive with me for a while. Unfortunately, for a goddess a while means several years in bed in human terms. I'll be able to curb her needs on occasion but for the first year or so it'll be touch and go every time a newbie sees me. It's like she wakes up all over again for her."
They both looked at me dumbfounded before Buffy said. "Then you'll have as little contact with the newbies as possible. There are other missions you can be doing and you said the new watchers need trained."
I stilled before nodding. "I can do that. I'll work with Giles and see about taking what he knows and rebuilding a structure for the watchers. That along with the coven duties and occasionally building safe houses, weapons and amulets will see most of my time taken up unless you have need of me or simply want to go on dates around the world for a night here and there. I've a feeling Alice is planning much the same when she's not focused on the magic's."
Buffy nodded. "Sounds good but we'll need you available for backup and emergencies along with using your connection to find more girls. If possible I want you working with Willow and the Devon coven to see the new girls when they activate. We need a clear line of information on where to go."
I nodded. "So be it. I'll make it happen if that's what you want love. I built all that stuff and ensured the future because I thought it'd make you both happy. Now that I know what you want that'll make you even happier I'll move heaven and earth to see it done."
Faith smirked and slid back on me saying. "In that case I got one more round in me before we go deal with real world stuff."
Buffy smiled and looked at her before nodding and straddling my face saying. "I can be a little more happy before we deal with all that- ahh!"
She lost coherent thought as mu tongue entered her depths and I applied a special suction force to her sensitive nub. My hands reached back and did something similar to Faith who moaned and rode me slowly at first.
Much later all three of us came out dressed and clean for the meeting. Buffy started giving orders for the girls to form four woman teams and to enter each of the major cities. She told Willow and I to get in contact with the Devon coven and create an information link.
Then she told Giles he was to immediately start training Xander, Andrew and Woods to be watchers. I stopped her there. "I have a faster way. I'm going to link Giles's mind to theirs temporarily to teach them all they need to know immediately as to not waste time. My mind will be the foci as to ensure each of you don't go crazy. I can fix crazy as you've all seen, but I can't fix dead so I'll be adding his experiences and years of training to it all."
Buffy looked even more pleased asking. "Can you do the same for the slayers here? Link and teach them all Faith and I know from experience so they don't mess up and get dead before backup can arrive?"
I looked over all the slayers before sighing and shaking my head. "One at a time yes, but my mind isn't meant for that kind of work. I can build a forest in moments but connecting so many complex slayer minds when there's already a primal connection to Sineya and each of you from the spell is risky. Half of them could end up worse than Dana before I noticed in time."
Buffy sighed. "So much for the easy way. One at a time will have to do then."
I chuckled. "It'll actually be quicker than what you think Buffy. They already have your skills and experience from the massive spell that gave them their powers. Willow took a spark of your strength and used it to spark theirs. With it came everything you do instinctively or has been trained like muscle memory. All I'll need to do is organize their minds and give them access to all of it."
Buffy looked me over before saying. "Do that then. After this meeting is over each girl is to meet with you and get the full experiences and training download. Giles, once they're done you'll test them and see how well it's worked. Robin you'll be doing the same. Giles will need help any with you're experience from growing up under a watcher's care you'll know what to look for."
She took a deep breath saying. "Once you've been selected and gone through it all you'll split up and take a major city. From there Willow, Ryan and the slayer coven you see before you will work with the Devon coven to guide you to the slayers in need of guidance".
"Once you come into contact with them you'll guide them however you can and teach them to understand their powers. Offer them a place here where they can belong and do the same for others. When we have the numbers and system in place we will branch out to other places all across the globe. The portals are in place and ready, all we need is time and patience to begin our attack on the hellmouth's and against evil all over."
With her speech done she told them. "Dismissed. Kennedy, you'll be the first so stay and Ryan will begin."
Buffy took Faith and they began talking to Willow about getting in touch with the other covens across the globe. Kennedy came over and I told her. "Just sit and look into my eyes. I'll enter your mind and we'll begin."
She did so and started what would be a a day long process to get every girls mind on track. The next morning I was downing LSD straight without the tea to Giles's amusement. I snorted at his look. "You try going into every horny teenagers mind that looks at you with carnal fascination. I need to bleach my own mind and yet every time they look at me I get goose bumps. I'm not a piece of meat to be tossed around and eaten at their leisure."
I admit I was a bit grumpy but Giles finally told me. "It's almost time to begin. You'll need that stuff out of your system or risk damaging us. If it helps you won't find any carnal fascination from me looking at you."
I snorted. "No, I'll just be privy to Xander's random thoughts until it's over."
Giles raised an eyebrow. "Perhaps you could at least share in that case."
I snorted and set the gallon jug down before snorting. "Too late, I just cleaned it out of my system. Let's get this over with. I'll end myself if I start seeing Anya in a new light I swear!"
Giles grimaced saying. "Do us both a favor and end me as well if I end up like that."
Xander spread his arms in a shrug. "What, she's not so bad guys."
I gave him the stink eye saying. "I've had to avoid cheerleader uniforms and schoolgirl uniforms when I'm with Buffy and The other girls because of what I've seen in your mind. Hell, I still throw up mentally when I think about that trip."
I shivered. "See? There!"
Robin looked at Xander with a frown before asking. "Are you sure this is wise? I mean connecting us all at once?"
I chuckled. "That part will be fine. Your minds are barely like small planets at best. Mine is a vast universe with untold amounts of power. It shouldn't be a problem, I'm just not to happy about Xander's mind being one, oh gods I just remembered Andrew! Fuck me sideways Giles how fast can you dig up those special stakes Buffy and Faith his in the armory? I feel a suicidal tendency coming on."
Andrew happened to walk in just at that moment and we all turned to him. He squirmed. "What? Do I have something on my face? Oh no I look like a jabba wakie don't I? I shouldn't have used that face cream Anya suggested."
I blanched before Giles said. "I can be back in a minute with them. Do you think they can go on without us?"
Sighing I told him. "They'd just have Willow resurrect you and locate my new form out in the dimension I'm reborn into."
He grimaced. "It's seems we're damned then. Let's get this over with."
I mimicked his expression before hearing Andrew say. "If this is about the mind thing then give me a few seconds to find a seat-"
I snorted. "To late."
I connected us all and he fell down unconscious as his mind connected as well. I closed my eyes and began directing them. Xander has little to do at first because I had to direct the other three in building their mind scapes.
Then when I'd seen enough and more I was finally able to copy and transfer all of Giles's watcher memories and training experiences to the others along with a vast amount of demon knowledge we all shared between us.
I'd learned more about Star Wars and nerdy facts than I'd ever wanted and Andrew realized he was both into males and females in the process but he also got the seriousness of the training as well. When we were done Robin told us and I had to emphatically agree. "We never talk about or hint at what we've all seen today."
I nodded and turned to Andrew. "If you were still evil I'd eat you and throw up your corpse into a slime demon pit. Better yet I'd just throw you in there alive. I don't need the indigestion."
He asked. "About that, can you get indigestion I mean, it's not like you need to eat?"
Growling I told him. "The sound of your voice is begging me to go evil and simply kill you here and now."
Giles spoke up. "I'm inclined to agree. Andrew, do shut up."
Xander raised a hand. "I can smack him if you want."
I grunted and stood up. "Not interested. I need a shower and to see if there's an extra layer of skin I can shave off myself to feel clean again. Do what you want."
I teleported o to the shower and scrubbed myself till Faith and Alice came in and asked. "You gonna be in there all day? Buffy needs you helping with the search."
I growled in response and Alice told her with amusement. "He was just inside the guy's minds. He needs something to make himself feel clean again."
Faith slid inside the shower after stripping right there and wrapped her arms around my neck. With a kiss she distracted me and slid on me with a moan. Alice joined us a few minutes later while I tried pounding Faith through the tiled wall. The wards and magic's stopped it but Faith was to busy feeling my ferocity to care.
When we finally came I slid out of her and saw blood on my length. She muttered before saying. "Don't sweat it big guy, it's the natural kind."
I shivered and she kissed me before focusing on getting herself clean. Alice was next and to my surprise she two was bleeding. I could smell it now and sensed half the compound was feeling the same. Alice told me. "We've been to busy to notice of late but we've been in sync for a while now. It's weird but natural I guess. Care to get us some chocolate and sweets?"
Faith sighed. "Not me, I need a burger with all the fixings. It's the only thing that does it for me."
I nodded still slightly numb. "I'll be back in a few moments finish up your showers and your stuff will be ready by the time you get out."
I dressed and teleported away to a chocolate factory/business in Belgium. I bought a metric ton of chocolate in all its forms before ordering three hamburgers with all the fixings from an American steak house. I teleported back when they were done and filled the fridges with chocolate confections in each room along with giving Faith her burgers.
Alice enjoyed an eclair and Faith moaned as she bit into the burger. Sighing I asked. "Would you like anything else?"
Faith smiled. "A foot rub would be nice or a little action in the back if you catch my drift."
Alice shook her head. "Just go before Buffy hunts you down."
Faith sighed. "Girls right, B's feelin it just the same and she's got a temper. Go get witchy with it."
Chuckling I teleported to the magic room where Willow and the rest of the coven were trying to connect with Althea's visions without me. Buffy was in the corner when I arrived and she asked. "Where have you been?"
I sighed. "Belgium, chocolates in the fridge. I'll link the connection then we can talk."
I grabbed the foci orb Willow was trying to link with Althea's and built a connection from scratch. Instantly the witch in all her glory appeared as a hologram of sorts. "That's better. It was an experimental magic at best but now that we know it works it'll make things much easier. With this we'll have instant access to each other and able to relay information."
I chuckled. "Hello Althea, it's been a long time."
She turned to see me and smiled. "With your amulet we've been able to pinpoint slayers all over the globe as they activate. Now that you're here we'd like to ask you help us with the model to get operations up and running."
I sighed and picked up the artifact she meant. I turned to Willow and told her. "Next time don't brute force it. Things like these are delicate. Oh, I almost forgot, here."
I handed her the cleansing amulet saying. "It should give you the ability to draw clean magic even in a hellmouth like where Buffy and the rest went, down inside. It draws the cleansing power from nature so as long as the dimension you're in isn't dead you'll always have access to clean magic."
I passed more around to the rest of the coven, Xander included. I'd given him the deep magical knowledge I'd acquired over the years and all the experience with it. With that he will be a powerful warlock in time.
I linked the main artifact to each of their amulets saying. "There, you'll always be able to speak to the coven no matter where you are. And to the Devon coven as well through this relay."
I turned to Buffy. "We're up and running. The locations should be relayed to the amulets the slayers have on them. All they have to do is think about it and they'll know where the new slayer is. It's also a call home function in case of emergencies. I'll be able to teleport to them and save them so long as they aren't instantly killed."
Buffy nodded with a smile. "I guess we have work to do then. Xander, you take Anya and cover Africa. Willow, Tara, South America. Ryan, Faith and I will take Europe and Asia. Alice and Giles will take America and the rest will focus on the smaller places like Japan and the islands. Hellmouth's are off limits until we're at least a hundred strong."
She turned to the slayers gathered behind her. "You've the means and the knowledge. Your destinations will be relaid to you with a thought and everywhere you go you'll find the resources and weapons. Ryan's given you the knowledge to drive so be safe and move out!"
Like a veritable army we spent the next six months scouring the earth for slayers. Every time one activated we were there and gave her the knowledge to protect herself and understand who she was. Dozens joined us each month and when our numbers swelled to over two hundred Buffy made cells and divisions.
Faith took the Cleveland hellmouth while Rona and Kennedy took Chile. We kept an eye on Sunnydale just to be safe while decoy's of Buffy were sent out in case the demons got it in their heads to target the leader first. There were several close calls where newbies were nearly slaughtered but with our organization and mobilization we saved them and slaughtered the demons involved.
Even the Scourge were targeting us now and we'd begun wiping out their bases all over the world in response. A bunch of pure breed demons, not to be confused with pure blood demons. They worshipped blood purity of demon kind but were little more than the equivalent of white supremacy or the nazi's.
They killed lesser demons and humans alike and with their attention on us we'd officially started our first major battle as an organization. We slaughtered hundreds of them and more besides and yet they came at us. I had to teleport in on several occasions to save slayers being targeted before our battalions of slayers arrived and wiped them out.
I'd avoided being seen by most slayers as to spare Buffy and Faith but sometimes it was unavoidable. Six months was all it took for a major event to happen. One evening I felt it while Faith, Buffy, Alice and I were having a rare respite in France. As soon as I felt it I told them. "An old one has woken up. I don't know who or how but they escaped the deeper well."
Faith asked. "Where at?"
I felt out where the evil being was and told them. "LA. Wolfram and Hart. But it's not one of those three. They're not really old ones. More just pure demons that have been feeding on humanities evil for a long time. This though, it's an old one. It's power is muted and it's not awakened fully yet but it's there and probably hollowing out some poor individual who was unlucky enough to activate its seals."
We got a holocall from willow saying. "Angel has called. He's asking for help with Fred. She's been infected with something."
Buffy sighed. "If we're going to Wolfram and Hart it'll be to fight. We don't help evil."
I turned to face the moon saying. "Mother, your guidance is needed. You've taken and locked away my memories of things that could be. I need access to them now for guidance."
A moon beam hit me and I took a step back before seeing what will and could be. I frowned before telling the girls. "We've a war to prepare for. If what I've seen is true than Angel is still on our side, a one hit ruse to force evil back."
I turned to Buffy. "He's going to take that one breathe, to deny them in one single moment and force their hand. They'll respond in kind and send LA to hell. Locking it in a localized hell dimension. I need to reinforce our portal if we are to be of assistance to them. It's your call Buffy."
She looked at Willow's image then back to me and asked. "How long do we have until he makes his stand?"
I frowned and thought long and hard before saying. "Three months. In three months he'll on earth will become a reality in LA. They'll open their hellmouth there and swallow LA."
She nodded and turned to Willow. "Have the girls prepare for battle. Sharpen the axes and ready your magic's. When Angel makes his stand I intend to make our move. We will shut down Wolfram and Hart in LA for good. Then branch out and shut them down all over. It's time we kicked them out of this dimension for good."
She turned to me. "It'll be hectic but it's time we end the scourge. Kill them all and destroy their bases all over. If you can, do something for Fred but it's time we end the war we're at and prepare for another one."
I nodded. "Yes love, I'll see to it personally. You three enjoy tonight. I'll be back in the morning with good news."
They each gave me a kiss while Willow faded out. I teleported away to where our information told us the Scourge bases were and in one night I finished them off. Their high command was last as I slaughtered their main nest and destroyed all traces of their existence.
By morning I returned to the manor we owned in France. I was covered in demon viscera and fluids as I stepped into the shower after burning my clothes. I washed it all away as they all three joined me after I was fairly clean. Buffy asked. "The results?"
I grinned. "All wiped from this earth. The Scourge are no more. The last of their bases was wiped out ten minutes ago and all their wealth and mystical objects is stored away for Willow and the coven to go through. I'm sure Giles will want to destroy most of it but some is useful at least."
"Their wealth was mostly currency and gold and it's in the vaults now. It can be sorted and gone through later. Their weapons are in the armory and the ingredients from their bodies is in the apothecary Willow had me build. We've effectively tripled our combined wealth with last nights ending of the war."
With my last words all three girls were happy now. And boy did they show it. All three took turns giving me head before letting me release some of my more animal instincts on them. When they were all three to tired to continue I helped them finish washing off before drying and dressing them.
They lay in bed a while before the last of the lethargic feelings passed. Then they were up and moving through portals to command and organize the girls. We were in full preparation mode as I was now busy making talismans and amulets to protect the girls and wristbands like what they'd once used to give them extra strength.
There were simply too many girls now to use blessing and open spells like I'd done at the hellmouth. Even with the full coven backing me it'd be impossible without my full power. I simply didn't have enough mental focus to hold it all. As such healing talismans were now being made in bulk along with all the rest.
Xander has become a powerful warlock and the strongest magic user in Africa during his stay there. He and Anya has gotten remarried a few months back and had both Faith and Buffy giving me looks on occasions.
Giles has made massive leaps and bounds I power as well and had joined the slayer coven. He was also leader of the watchers whom he'd been training into any male or female not a slayer that joined us.
He'd also been very busy training and advising new slayers in his free time from leading the watchers and doing spells for the coven and slayer organization as a whole. Alice has reached her limit on magic a few weeks ago and all she needed was a connection to a higher power to take her step and become immortal.
Said connection happened two nights ago and was the reason we'd been in France. I'd proposed to Faith, Buffy and even Alice again to solidify the bond they felt we needed. Alice and I were already technically married but she accepted all the same.
The mind blowing sex afterwards and her riding me was when we'd connected and she's taken her final step. The tips of her hair was green like my eyes now. I'd long since given both Buffy and Faith all my magical knowledge and they'd found out they were unable to perform magic's very easy because of the slayer essence. It altered their physical makeup as much as their magical side.
Seeing that as not an option right this minute they'd still excepted the rings and proposal with happy smiles and lots of sex. Even now they wore their rings on necklaces as not to break or lose them when fighting demons.
Now on to the important things. Faith went back to Cleveland while Buffy began sending orders all over to organize and prepare for war. For three months I worked on talismans and helped wherever needed and my only amusement was when both Spike and Angel were reported to be in Rome by Andrew.
The decoy Buffy there has spread news she was with the immortal now and both of them went to try and get her away from him. The immortal was just a man who'd been cursed with immortality to never truly be completely satisfied by a vengeance demon some several millennia ago.
Rumors of his sexual prowess had Faith joke one time about paying him a visit. When she saw my reaction she never mentioned it again. I'd been devastated and more than a bit enraged shifting uncontrollably and rapidly between all three forms.
She'd calmed me down but never wanted me to be like that again. My biggest form had severely hurt me to rapidly shift into as in it my pure wolf body was the size of what I'd imagine marvel's Fenrir to be.
It was the first and last time I'd shifted into it as the pain was excruciating. I'd asked Gaia why and her only repossessed was that I hadn't been shifting regularly into it and so the pain of the shift builds up magically and physically. It's apart of my nature to be in that form as well as the others.
And so the three months was nearly at it's end. When I felt it time I told Buffy and she mobilized all slayers not at hellmouth's and pulled Faith back as well. Rona took her place in Ohio and we portalled into the Hyperion hotel in LA.
I took down the wards and concentrated three grounds before putting up the pre-made wards. Massive power surges thrummed through the air and I told them as I pulled out the two hundred ward stones. "We're live and powered up. Bunker is activated leader one."
I deposited the stones in the basement where I'd set them up and sealed off the sewer entrance. I heard Buffy over the holocoms. "Good, get up here and reinforce everything we don't want any collapses during the battles if the wards fail."
I grunted and teleported upstairs to carry out my orders. Girls everywhere we're moving furniture and laying out strategy maps of LA and battle plans. I poured sheer magic power into the concrete and etched runes into the molecules that made up the concrete and plaster of every inch of the hotel.
Power poured out of both me and half the coven as they were doing similar things to the furniture. The wards hid us from all detection as the were enochian based. Even the powers that be couldn't see us now. All the girls wore something similar while they pulled SUV's out of the pocket dimension with Alice's and Giles's help.
When I finished even I felt tired as I dropped to my knees. Buffy was there with Faith to help me back up as I said. "It's done. Even an old one can't harm this building with its physical changes now. It's all neigh indestructible now."
They helped me to a couch where the slayers moving things had provided. Buffy said. "Good recover and set up the beacons for the second phase. Xander, Willow, Alice, you will be responsible for north, south and west. Ryan will take east and center. You know your destinations and duties. Tara, Giles you two will work on making the point connection with sanctuary and Devon. When the shit hits the fan we need contact with the outside."
She turned to Kennedy and a butch slayer next to her. "You two are on portal duty. No one and nothing gets to that portal that isn't a slayer or one of the council. If we're forced to fall back that's our only escape route. You hold the lives of all your sisters in your hands if you fail or fall. So Don't!"
Kennedy nodded and grabbed her sword at her waste. The butch slayer grabbed the dual axes at her back and unclipped them. The both sat outside room 210 and waited. The rest of the slayers formed teams and gathered.
Buffy told them. "In three Ryan is going to wipe out all vampires in the city. When he does so you'll each go out in force. Stick to the shadows and wipe out all demons in your path. No mercy and no survivors. When you reach half way through the city you'll be called back."
"We'll regroup here and take out the second half. Until then you're to stick close to base camp here. Only go out in groups and if you're recognized by the local wildlife, extermination is key. No one can know we're here. Leave no survivors and report to the coven so they can scry for survivors to eliminate the chance for news to spread."
With that they broke up and began to get comfortable. For three days we set up the beacons and purified the grounds they were on. It happened still. I felt Angel act and reached through the connection and gave him strength like he'd never known before.
He fought the envoy to the senior partners before draining him dry and snapping his neck. Then he and the boy left in a hurry as the building started to collapse. Alice and Xander went and saved Wesley with a talisman just as Illyria arrived.
Alice told her. "We're allies saving a friend. Kill the demon warlock we have places to be. The battle isn't over by a long shot."
That was all Illyria needed to shatter the demons head. I turned my attention elsewhere and dusted the vampires Gunn fought with a thought. I sent him a telepathic message. (Backup is here. You are not alone. Kill the he'll spawn and meet up with Angel.)
He smiled and I left him as I told Buffy and the slayers. "It has begun. They are activating the magic's to send LA to hell."
Buffy gave the order. "Angel and his group will appear six blocks over. Take the rooftops. Gather but stay concealed until I've had my word with the idiots."
I chuckled and we began mobilizing. I sealed the entrance to all but those with amulets as we left. Xander led his African slayer squad with pikes and curved wicked blades.
