Notes: This is an A/U where all the big demons have taken over the
world up above so all those who are sane have been picked up and
placed underground but you'll get the rest of it as you read.
** - change in point of view/ or time jump and I might add some later.
Feedback: I would love it, seeing as this is my first fic it would
actually make me continue writing this. So please!
PART 1
As the bus came to an abrupt stop everyone slowly filed out staring at the large steel doors in front of them.
"No WAY am I going to live underground like one of them!"
"Hey! Watch it Blondie I actually take offence in that one." Stated a rather hurt looking Spike.
"What? Spike you don't even live underground! You live in a crypt thingy… and anyway you crawled out of a grave so you can't complain about anything I say. So therefore, I win so hush now." Buffy replied as the gang reluctantly entered through the gates of "hell".
What they entered to was chaos and not the apocalypse type, the half price sale type. Buffy was stunned as everyone just stood looking at their new home. "I hate demons" grumbled Buffy.
"I second that one" agreed Xander. As the final "me too's" rang out all that could be heard was Spike's brain finally clicking on.
"HEY! I heard that."
"Ok, hands up everyone else who is totally freaking out right now."
As every single hand shot up Giles took this moment to take his spectacles for a little clean.
"Yes, well … uhm I agree it will seem as you say "freaky" for awhile but I assure you it will just be like home."
"What do you mean "just like home"!? It is an EXACT copy of Sunnydale how can we think otherwise?" Stated a rather weirded out Slayer.
As the Scooby's took a walk down memory lane, literally, everyone seemed to be in their own worlds. Hmm never knew there was a street called this in Sunnydale thought Buffy. Imagine walking down Memory Lane, how lame is this, damn. Oh God no…What the…
"GILES!!!"
At hearing Buffy's as some might say 'roar', everyone ran towards her.
"What! Where's the evil I need to turn into pretty little bunnies?"
"Bunnies? Why would you do that, why bunnies!? Xander why would Willow do that to me?"
"Aw An, she was just joking."
"No I wasn't, what is it with you and bunnies anyway? …Weirdo."
"It is a long story! Just promise me you won't do it."
"Ok ok I promise, sheesh, can't even talk about bunnies without an ex-demon up your butt."
Buffy, Dawn and Giles all stood rather uncomfortably waiting for the very… erm conversation to end. As it continued on Dawn finally interrupted.
"AHEM! Excuse me but I think we were running to help Buffy?"
"Oh yeah, where's the evil doers Buff?" Asked Xander.
At this Buffy looked rather nervous.
"Evil? Uhmm... Erm...Well it's not exactly, evil as you say but maybe you'll find it evil as sorts. I was just walking and thinking and erm … What the hell am I going to do for a sun tan under this earth! I mean hello! Girl here I will totally go all pastey and I sooo am not going pastey under here!"
"OMG! Buffy I sooooo don't want to go all pastey I mean we'll look all dead and stuff and ew what if cute guys see me! Buffy sort this now!"
"See! My sister agrees with me. Oh and it isn't just cute boys, it's army guys and well mmmm…yummy."
"Eh Slayer, Earth to Slayer... oh there you are. Hi, I thought you'd be glad to have me around every hour of everyday. Seeing as the sun is a little on the missing part I can live with you guys now!"
Exchanging glances everyone abruptly turned around and headed for the "Magic Shop" in a bid to eradicate this slight problem.
PART 2
In the magic shop everyone lay with their heads on the table. After hours of researching 'Ways to make the sun say hello again' they were coming up with nothing. This in everyone, apart from Spike's opinion was terrible.
"I've got it!" Shouted Willow just as the bell to the Magic Shop sounded.
Everyone turned towards the door just as a girl walked in. She managed to make it to the table without looking completely stupid. Looking directly at Buffy she extended her hand.
"You must be Buffy; it's nice to finally meet you."
At everyone's dumbfounded looks the girl slowly looked around smiling sheepishly.
"I'm sorry maybe I'll talk a little slower. It's my accent. I'm uhm Scottish but you probably guessed that. Anyways I heard this was where I could find the Slayer?"
At this everyone seemed to perk up a little including Buffy who had slowly started to move towards the stranger.
"Wow no I uhm I'm from the Council, well I used to work for them but not anymore because well yeah uhm, please don't hurt me?" She rushed out in one breath.
"Buffy?...Please, I'm sorry I didn't catch your name. Would you like some tea?"
"Sorry you can call me Dizz."
"As in dizzy like when you do those spinning around things?" Asked Anya as she proceeded to stand up and demonstrate exactly what she was talking about.
"Well yeah you can say that, if you're weird. If not then it's just Dizz. Oh by the way where's Faith?"
"I only have faith when I'm holding a cross towards a vampire. It seems to work."
"I'm Jewish."
"I'm dead."
"I used to be a demon."
"I well...uhm I guess I have faith if you care to know."
"I dunno, Buffy do I have faith?"
Before Buffy could answer Dizz looking rather rattled cut in.
"Are you people always this weird or is it a bad day? I said where IS Faith, not where is YOUR faith." After receiving some pretty spaced out looks she decided to continue. "Faith as in the other slayer? You know Buffy died along came Kendra, Kendra died along came Faith? No? Ooookieee maybe all their brains have been sucked out hmm yeah."
"Wh-What do you mean Faith the other slayer?"
At this everyone jumped. It had been the first time the stuttering Blonde Wicca had spoken since they all got piled onto a bus and shipped to hell.
"Damn so she's not a mute? Here I thought I'd be having some good games of charades with her too. Oh well… Faith was supposed to be here by now. She left Boston about a month ago to come here. You don't think she's."
WTF where the hell am I? Dude this place is so gross, EW is that oh god I think I'm gonna barf. I can't believe I just said ew this place is addictive. Oh yeah where was I going… OH big cave thing away from demons oh yeah. Hmm wonder if I could beat up the other slayer. I probably could, have you seen my biceps mmm if I wasn't myself I'd be doing me right now. God that reminds me, as soon as I'm in, hot army guy.
As Faith makes it over the hill just as the sun is setting all she sees is the large steel doors closing and locking.
"You have got to be SHITTIN' me!"
PART 3
After searching the perimeter of the doors Faith came up with nothing. Going for a long shot she made her way towards the sewers. ‘These have to lead into that place’ she thought as she dropped through the entrance and was knee deep in sewage. ‘Gross, I am so kicking the door guy’s ass when I get in there.’
Walking down Revello Drive the gang stopped in front of number 1630. Sighing Buffy slowly turned the key and opened the door, stepping inside and inviting everyone in.
“Alright Wills, you and Tara get to work on that sun ball thingy, me and Dizz will call around the security and see if Faith has been spotted. Xander, you and Anya take Dawn to the basement and start setting it up for Faith please? Oh Giles can you go with Spike and see if his crypt is still intact?” Cause he sure as hell ain’t staying here she finished to herself.
After a chorus of ‘OK’s’ Buffy and Dizz fell onto the couch and picked up two phones, which weren’t there in the real house Buffy thought. They then proceeded to find the missing slayer.
Slipping through the last of the pipes, Faith climbed the ladder and lifted the rather light drain. Peering over the edge to make sure there was no danger lingering near, she pulled herself out of the hole.
‘Well this place looks familiar,’ Faith thought to herself after walking around for a few minutes. At hearing voices she ducked behind a wall. Peering around it she watched as two very different men entered a cemetery and headed towards a crypt.
“Oh look here’s your crypt Spike, I’m sure we will be seeing you tonight then.” Stated a clearly relieved Giles.
“Hold on tweed boy. Seeing as all my demon buddies are not allowed in and stuff, I was wondering if you wanted to you know, hang.”
“Hang? … Me? Uhm I, well of course I would love to ‘hang’ with you but I should, you know get back to Buffy.”
“Oh ok well I guess I’ll just call by later on then, see how things are going.”
Listening intently into their conversation Faith had that uneasy feeling she usually got when vampires were around. Watching as the old English guy left, she jumped the wall and headed towards the crypt.
PART 4
Sneaking quietly around the back of the crypt, Faith lifted herself up to the window and peered in.
“If you weren’t so hot, I’d think about calling the cops on you.”
At the sudden voice, Faith lost her grip and fell. Looking up she saw the dyed blonde vamp she was supposed to be spying on.
“Need a hand there love?”
Taking his hand Faith pulled herself up and proceeded to dust herself off.
“Not meaning to be rude or anything but what the hell are you doing trying to spy on me.”
“I don’t need to tell you shit Blondie.”
“Hey! No name calling now, or I'll have to-”
“Eat me? Yeah right I’d like to see you try.”
Seeing the fiery look in the dark haired beauty’s eyes, Spike decided to leave it and invited the girl into his crypt.
“This is no use, we’re never gonna find her.” Said a rather exhausted Buffy.
“Yeah, maybe we should leave it for tonight. She’ll get in somehow, trust me.”
Leaving Buffy in the living room, Dizz went upstairs in search of the Wicca’s. Entering Willow’s room she was greeted with an explosion. Coughing she tried in vain to get the smoke out of her eyes.
“I take it, the sun is ready then?”
“OH! Dizz I’m sorry, are you ok? I didn’t mean to, it’s just that people usually knock ‘cause well they’ve all had the smoke thing done to them at least once…or twice. But yeah the sun’s ready.”
“Breathe. How come it isn’t light outside?”
“Well, this sun is linked to the real sun, so it will rise and fall just like it would outside, except this one doesn’t have to worry about being covered by nasty clouds. So basically, it’s night time now.”
“So does that mean we’re Bronzin’ it then?” Came Xander's voice from outside the room.
PART 5
Faith’s POV
Alright so I got caught trying to spy on Blondie here but, who cares. I’ve been out of the game for a while and that’s the excuse I’m sticking to. We’ve been sitting in silence for an hour now, he’s just sitting staring at me probably trying to figure out what I am. I would tell him but that wouldn’t be fun so I'll just stare back, maybe he’ll blink first.
“Holy shit! You are Billy fucking Idol.” Haha I knew I knew him from somewhere. I wonder how long he’s been a vamp.
“Excuse me? I am NOT Billy bloody Idol! How many times do I have to do this?”
“Yeah right Billy, so who turned ya? Vamp groupie?”
“I’m NOT Billy idol lil girl. I’m William, but I thought Spike sounded better.”
Ok so he won’t admit it, shit neither would I if I was really Billy Idol. But I let it slide anyways, and decide to give him a jab to the shoulder for calling me a lil girl. Ok, now he’s back to the staring, I think this is gonna be a long night so I decide to take a walk.
Buffy’s POV
So we’re sitting in the Bronze, well not the real one but…ok you get what I mean. Everyone seemed up for it and Dizz hadn’t been Bronzin’ yet so I decided to tag along. It’s not the same in here, which is probably because half the people in here didn’t go to the real one. Can’t complain though, cause they’re all army guys.
After scanning the crowd and not seeing anyone who tickles my fancy I decide to call it a night and go check that no vamps have got in to terrorise my new fighting ground.
After making my excuses and saying bye to everyone I set out for the cemeteries.
