GILES AND THE POTENTIALS
(Giles, this is Molly fan-fic re-visited)
Giles brought in the three girls, Kennedy tried to show of her bravado
to Giles by saying ho-hum to the slayer, she was soon put in her place
by Giles. He said that the First was starting a big push to defeat the line
of the slayers and the potentials.
It wasn't long before Kennedy said about running away, not long after
that Annabelle did. They had been introduced to every-one in the room,
Buffy talked with them trying to learn about and from where they came.
It was Molly who caused her to take a back seat, there was something
about her, maybe she was a plant? but who from and why? Buffy had
conflicting thoughts, even so, there was something missing or wrong.
Seeing Buffy sat alone, Giles sat next to her.
"What is it?"
"There is something about that Molly, I don't know what though."
"You could ask her," he suggested.
"When the others have left then."
"Why?" asked Giles.
"I'm just not sure about her, I want to know before the others find out."
"Normally I'd agree with that but they have all chosen this life, protect
them as much as you like or want to. The longer you leave it, if it is
bad news, the harder it will be to tell them."
Buffy glanced at him, she knew he was right. Looking around the room,
she could see the faces of her friends, they deserved to know, the
years they had helped her. Standing up, wandering around the room.
"What is it Molly? who are you and the truth this time?"
Willow stared at Buffy.
"Buffy? what? what do you mean?" She said glancing at the new girl.
"She isn't who she is said to be Will, she isn't a potential slayer."
"What makes you think that?" asked Xander.
"Molly, I think you had better tell them about us," said Willow.
"Buffy, you'd best come "˜ere then," said Molly.
"Huh? why me?"
"You're one of us."
"Er.... no, I'm a slayer, I've always been a slayer, well since I was
fifteen any-way."
"She is telling the truth, the watchers council know her," said Giles.
"She is only telling the truth that she knows, do you know how old
she is, where she was born? or her second in charge?" asked Willow.
"Let me see, Buffy was born in eighty or was in eighty one, she was
born in LA and Faith is her second," replied Giles.
"Wrong on all accounts Giles," said Willow, "She is older than that,
when Faith was married she was invited."
"Molly, ask Scherry to be here, the casual way," said Willow.
A woman opened the door then walked into the room.
"Hey! you can't just walk in, who do you think you are?" asked Anya.
"I don't think I know, I do know who I am, just as I know who you."
"Yeah, right as if," replied Anya.
"Born Aud, told your name was really Anyanka. These people took
you in, accepted you as a friend."
"Who are you? where are you from?"
"I am Scherry, I was in Totnes," said Scherry.
"I know Totnes, I have been there several times, it isn"˜t far from where
I live in England."
"Do I know this Totnes?" asked Buffy.
"You have been there once or twice," replied Molly.
"That is as me?"
"No, that is as who you are," said Willow.
"Why are you telling us this?" asked Buffy.
"To give you the belief that you are good enough to win."
"What then?"
"Then we go and your memory of meeting us will be erased."
"What is the point of that, if we have no memory of you everything will
be as it was before," said Giles.
"No it won't, because you will have the belief that you can win."
"Not much good with our memory having been erased."
"I see what you mean, but a belief is not a memory," said Molly, "Is
this all of them?"
"For now, I have called for help. There are more here, not many
though but a few."
"Who are they?" asked Scherry.
"Spike, Angel, Faith and some more of this world," said Willow.
"Hey! not of this world? what is that all about?" asked Xander.
"Ok, well Buffy is not a human but she is from humans, Scherry is a
human she is from this world but not this dimension as is Angel. Me?
well, I am not a human," said Willow.
"Oh come on! you expect us to believe that?" asked Xander, "And
you didn't mention Faith, why not?"
"You are aware that Dawn is not human, you do know that she was
made human."
"Yes! thank you very much for that," said Dawn, not happy being
reminded of that.
"Dawn? did you know that Faith is from the same planet as you?"
"She is?, that makes me feel better."
"But don't try telling her, she is like Angel and Buffy, deep
undercover for us, we have removed their memory of the life they
had before," said Scherry.
"Like re-incarnation you mean?" asked Giles.
"No, for re-incarnation to happen you need to die," said Molly, "They
didn't die, they were born from a living person."
"Does this have anything to do with Buffy dying?" asked Xander.
"Yes, sort of, in her other life she is an eternal, she cannot die.
As are Angel and Faith."
"So who, or what are they?" asked Giles.
"Ok, Angel and Faith are Generals of the Armed Forces of Byzantium
and the Armed Forces of Bouicandeni. Bouicandeni are the special
forces of Byzantium, the Elite are the special forces of Byzantium.
Anne, or Buffy as you know her is the General of the Elite."
"Special forces?, special in what way?" asked Vi.
"The Elite are also known as the Union Fighting Force, the Union
being between the visible and the invisible, six of them are my guards,
they are with me at all times," said Scherry.
"What about Molly?" asked ?Vi.
"She is a Rider."
"A rider? a rider of what?" asked Kennedy.
"Molly is an immortal, a Rider of the winged unicorns."
"Where are your guards now then?" asked Xander.
"Here, but invisible," replied Scherry.
"What else have you got to inspire us?" asked Giles.
"Alright then Giles, do you remember Gregor?"
"Yes, he was the General of the Knights of Byzantium, oh crap! the same?"
"Part of the Armed Forces Giles. Dawn, when you went searching for
answers about who you were, you went into the hospital ward where
Orlando kept repeating himself to you."
"Yes, but how do you know about that?" asked Dawn.
"Orlando told us."
"But he was killed," said Dawn.
"Yes, so? the question is what did he say?"
"He kept repeating, Such is the will of God, let God's will be done. Oh
Does that mean that they are?"
"Yes Dawn, the slayers are part of the Armed Forces, they will all be
immortal, they are in God's Army," said Scherry.
"It is written that the forces of good will always keep coming," said Giles.
"Because we are immortal, except for those few of us who are eternal.
The Generals, our Spike and those like me."
"Your Spike?"
"As a human he was destined, then the evil accidentally got him, so we
created another of him in our dimension. We know him as Pitts, so one
of him will be the one."
"What was he destined to be?" asked Vi.
"The keeper of the light."
"What light?" asked Giles.
"The light at the end of the tunnel."
"Scherry?, as said of in near death experiences?"
"The same one, when you do die it is because of that light that you
will know how to get into heaven."
"Good grief!" exclaimed Giles.
"I once sent Angel into hell," said Buffy.
"That's right, he asked why he had been returned," said Giles.
"What was your reply?" asked Scherry.
"I could only guess," said Giles.
"Would you like to know the truth?"
"What? you know?"
"A Hell-Goddess tried to help us but she couldn't, but she did ask a
childhood friend of hers. That Goddess hasn't arrived yet, she will soon."
"Do you know why Angel was returned from hell?" asked Giles.
"He wasn't, his wife rescued him, she went into hell for him."
"Now that really is loyalty, I'd like to meet her," said Dawn.
"You have! she is Faith, and maybe the second oldest in the room,"
said Willow, "I am the oldest."
Giles looked around.
"No Giles, you are only about fifty years old," said Scherry, "I was
born in sixteen twelve, died in sixteen forty one and then reborn.
Faith is tens of thousands of years older than me."
"What did you do when you were reborn?" asked Xander.
"I started the Demon Hunters, I have chosen every-one of them, and
every vampire slayer, except the first three. Goddess Turee chose them.
What else is there?, oh right the Turok-Hans, you haven't been told
this but there is about three thousand of them but we are sending two
things that will help defeat them, the Scythe and The Amulet."
"That is great for Buffy, but what about us?" asked Vi.
"True, the scythe does wield extra power when a slayer holds it, but
Faith will be with you soon, and soon, after you enter the hellmouth,
you will all be slayers. And then there is the most valuable thing on this
or any world, the Amulet."
"A pendant? How is that valuable?" asked Giles, "Why is it valuable?"
"A pendant is worn by any person, an amulet is a magically charged
amulet, what I am referring to is The Amulet. It was magically built by
descendants of the pagan priests who worshipped on the land where
The Church Of The Holy Wisdom was built, it still stands today in
Istanbul. In the year, about five hundred and fifty four there was an
earthquake which partially destroyed the main dome, from parts of the
dome The Amulet was created, wanted by God or They as he is often
referred to as. It was to be a wedding present for two people he likes,
you know them as Angel and Faith," said Scherry.
"I can see why it is so valuable," said Giles.
"That isn't it, as it is it is worth a lot, or could be. But when the time is
right and it knows it, it will transform to be known as the Holy Grail,
and the person has been chosen to be its wearer for that time. When
it transforms it will destroy the forces of evil."
"It has been chosen who will be its wearer? who is it?" asked Buffy.
"Spike," said Willow.
"The Turok-Hans, you say there is three thousand of them, will there
be any more?" asked Giles.
"No, that is the last of them," said Willow.
"How can you be sure?" asked Anya.
"Is there any of you who knows Greek Mythology?" asked Willow.
"I do," said Giles.
"Don't believe him!, he doesn't know it, he remembers it," said Anya.
Xander was about to say something, only now he was trying not to laugh.
"Yes, thank you Anya," said Giles, sarcastically.
"Charon is said to have ferried the dead to the underworld, they
were nearly right, he actually ferried the un-dead into hell where
the un-dead would become the Turok-Hans. A Goddess with
Charon's daughter Scharon rescued him. So now, no vampires
go into hell to be made into Turok-Hans," said Scherry.
"This battle, after we go into the hellmouth, will we survive?" asked Vi.
"Most of you, but even if you do die you will be immortal."
"That's good, how long before we come back?"
"Ask Buffy," said Willow, "How long were you in the ground for?"
"A hundred and forty seven days Will."
"And after a hundred and fifty days you would have been returned.
Just for your information you weren't ripped out of heaven, you were
allowed to return early. You did have a lot on your side though."
"Me being a General in his army you mean?"
"Two that asked for you to be returned were Willow and Tara."
"They really are powerful witches," said Xander.
Scherry looked to each of them in the room.
"I think now is the time."
Scherry went to stand by the door.
"Move away from me, now close and cover your eyes," said Scherry.
Amanda tried facing the other way, but she still had to close her eyes,
the brightness hurt her eyes.
"It is okay to look at me now," said Scherry.
Giles was the first to look at her, just before the others. He was
surprised, but to see Buffy kneeling and bowing to her he was
thoroughly perplexed.
"Why are you glowing?"
"Because this is how I appear when I am the Goddess Medusera."
"The... is that like Medusa?" asked Giles.
"Yes, that is me, sort of. A human that saw me turn a demon to stone
said I was the Medusa. I helped him defeated a strong demon, then
he got my name wrong. You have met the demon, I know Buffy
and Giles have, and Xander I believe."
"Yeah really, who?"
"Acathla. Now close your eyes again."
"Eyes down for the return trip," said Xander.
When they uncovered their eyes there was still a glow.
"You haven't changed, why?" asked Giles.
Scherry indicated away from her.
"Willow?"
"No Giles, I am the Goddess Turee."
"She is not of this world Giles, her home world is the moon where she
is known as Goddess Dianah, the other is the Goddess Aradia, or on
this planet she is known as Goddess T'ara in mortal fo
her as Tara. It was their idea to start this war and save the human race."
"So Giles, is any more inspiration needed?" asked Goddess Turee.
"How will you alter our memories?, and another thing why did Tara
try to stop you from using magic?"
"So that the evil wouldn't notice me, and she was right, it did. It was
Tara using her influence that got you to see the coven. Giles?
remember how the coven didn't trust me when you took me there?"
"I remember that."
"It was because they could see me, but they couldn't see who I was."
"What now?" asked Vi.
"She will come, "˜she whose name should never be said"˜."
"We are only going to know for a minute or so, so why
not tell us?" asked Anya.
A woman walked into the room from the back door.
"Who are you?" asked Anya.
"I'm not sure, I think I'll use the name May on this Planet."
Buffy looked about the room.
"Giles?, why are we all here? what is going on?"
