Preparing for an attack. From huntedmerciless
You would think that the First evil who could move around the world and had his or her eyes all over the world at one moment, might be able to send us to our destination without the need for us actually purchasing a ticket. You might think this, but you would be wrong. Not that I was bitter about having to fly, or that I was one who complained, but it is a valid observation.
Now, on a plane from De Gaulle in Paris to Hartsfield in Atlanta, Boris, Xavier and myself sat on a relatively empty plane, looking at those around us who were oblivious to what we could do to them and likely were also oblivious to the reality of the world, that demons like ourselves existed.
I wasn’t looking upon these people as meals. It was like fruit off of the vine to slaughter them, and though I knew how to fly a plane, the prospect of killing all of these people, regardless of whether it was fun or not, and then killing the crew, never occurred to me and never occurred to the First Evil either. Boris and Xavier might have had an inkling to inflict some pain or grab a meal, but they too were far too intelligent at this point to do anything so needles.
We weren’t on our way to Atlanta to make spectacles of ourselves and announce our coming. We wanted a modicum of surprise and we knew that there was vulnerability in Atlanta. Soon, in Seaside, Angel, Cordelia Chase, Connor, who might be evil, according to the First, a slayer named Leah Cleveland, a slayer named Melissa Collier, a soldier named Riley, another well known slayer in Faith Lehane and a vampire who none of us knew of, named Justin, who was also ensouled like Spike and Angel…all of these fighters would be gathered and while we had to face them all eventually, facing just three seemed more sporting.
In Atlanta, Buffy Summers, the most well known to all of us, of all of the slayers, a new slayer named Jada Silver who had already lost her family due to a weak vampire attack led by the First, and Spike, were waiting for us. Of course, they didn’t know that we were coming, but they would soon know.
According to the First evil, the three of them had just taken apart seven vampires all of the negro persuasion, who showed promise to make an army of vampires, but were now all ash. The First wasn’t facing us at the moment,, wasn’t technically here, but he had just given us this information and told us that they were heading for a bar called Squeegles, and might be there for a while, probably drinking.
I moved closer to Xavier. “I know that you want Spike, but the girl, the new slayer, she is mine. I know too that you wish to sire Buffy, and while I feel that this is a bit against the code, eliminating her is very much a must, so you will have my support, there. But, it does seem that you and Boris very much want to take Spike apart. Is that accurate?”
