First Encounter
Things are going well.
I wasn't surprised to see Sunnydale hadn't changed since the last time I saw it, around four years ago. It's still the quaint little hamlet, nestled far enough away from the bustle of Los Angeles, still secure in the secrets that lie under its surface.
The people in this town should count their lucky stars that they're still alive, that they haven't been eaten or maimed or both. Every day is a gift for them. But they'd never know that. For the most part, the people of this town are oblivious to what's lurking just outside their field of vision.
That'll change soon enough.
It's taken me almost four years to prepare for this, to prepare for the time when I'd be able to fulfill my destiny. Fate has seen fit to choose me as the instrument of humanity's demise. And since I honestly haven't given two droplets of baby shit about humanity since I was reborn, I've accepted my responsibility with open arms.
One problem with that, though. In order to accomplish what I saw in my vision, I have to go through the Slayer. Her and any of her little friends who see fit to stand in my way.
I never cared for the girl. When Walsh and Finn first brought her inside, I thought it was a mistake. She proved me right. But I suppose I should thank her one day. If it wasn't for her, I would've missed my true calling...my true purpose.
Perhaps I'll let her die fast as her reward.
However, if my time in the service taught me nothing else, it was the value of always being prepared. In order to accomplish my goals, I need to go through the Slayer. And in order to go through the Slayer, I need to know how to go through her. She's not "the Chosen One" for nothing, and I'll give her credit...she's no pushover.
But she does have weaknesses. Everyone has weaknesses. It's simply a matter of exploitation.
The mission to the high school went smoothly. She was predictable enough, showing up with Finn and her little sister. The second Slayer's presence was a surprise, but nothing that can't be adjusted for.
Zero casualties, thanks to the body armor; I never understood why no one ever thought about this before, especially when something as silly as a well-aimed pencil could do us in. More intelligence to examine. And the boys even brought back fresh meat to tuck away. That kind of thinking ahead'll get a person promoted.
I need to go over all this soon. The files left over from the Initiative were detailed...but sometimes you just have to see things for yourself. I need to know how to handle her, when the time comes...
