Chapter 21: Lost

(You're gonna die...)

(Young)

(It's what I do.)

"Live fast...)

(Die never!)

"Nope.)

(We're not just slayers, we're hope.)

(I Love You.)

( I could be picking freshman out of my teeth, but I'm not and that's
because of you.)

(Slayer Time.)

( So, I'm the male slayer...got it. But Why? I mean, out of billions, why
me?)

( Beware of the obvious. The days are dangerous, but avoide the night. Be
in the now, the past won't help.)

(Watch out, there's scary things out there.)

(You're psycho!)

( You want to play the part, then play it!)

(Look, slayers, Sunnydale was just the warmup. This is going to be
tougher. Your objective here is to stop all the demons. I, and probably
Buffy and fiah, are going to be kicking Micah's ass. Don't let this
distract you. You are all slayers now. Capable of defeating anything. When
I found out that I was a slayer, truly, about a month ago, I was so angry,
but I know what it means to be a slayer. The power. The strength. You all
have the strength now and since Sunnydale, you've been using it, but not to
the fullest. I just took on a butt load of Turoks and you're twice the
slayers I am. We're connect and I can feel you. Buffy and Faith are the
wueens, but you're the princesses. Younger, more deadly...)

I opened my eyes and gasped for air, pulling the dirt into my lungs and
coughing. I raised to my elbows and opened my eyes in fear, " Where..." was
the only thing I could say before my voice gave out. I felt something move
and I scooted back to see a sign that said, " Welcome to Sunnydale."

"So, he is found?' Dawn asked.

Doug frowned, " Dawn, you're not helping." he said, opening one eye.

"Dawn's right." Oz said, joiing thiem from behind the counter.

"Don't get me wrong, I'm worried about getting Austin back, but...what
happens when he comes back and finds Connor not here too." Doug asked.

"One thing at a time," Oz said, settin gup the candles, " try again."

"We've been trying for weeks!" Doug whined, " I'm exhausted."

"Yeah, that Uber-witch, Willow, even tried to track him down and couldn't
find him." Kelly yawned, " What makes you think he could him?"

"I am sure that if we persevere, we will find him." Groo smiled.

"You really think so?" Dawn asked.

"I have to." Groo said.

"Well, it's not like he's the on;ly hope." Kelly said, all of them looking
at her, " Right?" she asked.

"Doesn't matter, cause we're going to find him!" Dawn shouted, " Now try
the damn spell!"

Doug sighed and started the spell again, trying to find their lost friend.

I looked around the darkness, trying to get a lock on what was moving. I
got to my feet and dusted myself off. I stopped as I saw something move
quickly in the shadows. I walked a little and stopped as the moon hit me
and I noticed that I was bleeding. I had been cut across my stomach and
arms and there was dried blood on my face. I gulped and felt something in
my throat, something hard. I had guessed I was in Sunnydale by the sign. I
took a step forward and something hit me and knocked me backwards! I got to
my feet quickly and punched whatever it was, then kicked it! I put my hands
around it's wet neck and a voice shouted, " Stop!" and I wheeled around.

"I know you." I said, realizing that I was staring at Amy...but who was
she?

"I want a team on this right away!" Lindsey barked, " If they get to him
first, we're screwed and the partners are gonna have our livers for lunch."

"Livers?" an intern asked, " Why our livers?"

"FUCK!" Lindsey shouted in anger, " Then hearts, dammit, just get out there
and get him!" he finished and the intern nodded sheepishly and retreated
from the office.

"Why were you so cross with her?" Titan smirked.

"Shut up!" Lindsey panted, " You were spared, now be grateful and shut up!"
he said, slaming his fist down on the desk.

"Don't you think it would be wise if you went with them?" Titan asked, "
You have his memory in your orb, but what if he needs convincing."

Lindsey looked up at Titan and ran from the office. Titan smirked at
Lindsey's inexperience. He was a bad guy, though he could easily be
good. It was up to him. Just as it would be for Titan...it was. Lindsey was
told what to believe and he believed it. that was the first mistake, never
believe the obvious truth. Titan knew better, he knew better than to tell
the truth.

"Found 'im." Doug shouted, " I found him, haha, I'm the best, you know,
aside from that Willow chick."

Dawn and Kelly jumped and ran, as did Oz and Groo, " Where?" Oz asked.

"Is that..." Dawn began.

"Unh huh...Sunnydale, California." Kelly frowned, " That's pretty
far...sorta like going to hell and back, literally."

"We could use magic." Doug said perkily.

Dawn frowned at him, " Cause it worked so well for Willow." she said,
grabbing her coat, " Get in the van. EVERYBODY!"

"WHo died and made you Austin?" Kelly blurted.

Oz looked at her angrily.

"Ok, nevermind." Kelly said, following the group and leaving the Hyperion.

"So, you live here...in the...this...crater?" I asked, looking around, "
And you're Amy?"

"right...and it's my home." Amy smiled, " It collasped, don't know why
but..."

"Scoobys. They saved the world again...I think." I smiled, still confused,
" Who are the Scoobys?"

Amy stared at me slowly, " Rea-lly." she asked.

"Not sure..." I said unsurely, " Who are they?" I asked.

"Huh?" she asked.

"I know the Scoobys, they're what came to mind, but I can't remember
them. I don't know where I've been." I confessed, " But I remember a blonde
girl...Red power...and an eyepatch."

Amy said something I couldn't understand and looked back at me, " So they
did it?" she asked.

"I guess, I guess." I said, confused and achy, " Is...this is Sunnydale,
right? Are we the only ones left?" I asked.

"No." Amy said politely.

"Then...I don't...I remember certain things, not enough to be me, but
enough to function."  I said quickly.

"I don't know you well enough to..." but Amy stopped, " Someone's here."
she said, her eyes glowing.

"Is it that thing?" I asked.

"That thing is my boyfriend and his name is Warren..." she hissed.

I stood an watched as men with guns neared us. I felt arms around me an dI
threw it and the owner over my shoulder and punched the man in the
face. Then I kicked another coming towards me. I stopped when I saw someon
I recognized, " Lindsey?" I asked,


	= = = = = = = = =

The gang had been driving for hours and weren't far away as they approached
the crater.

"Are we there yet?" Kelly asked, flopping around in the back.

"Does it look like it?" Dawn said irratably.

"I don't know, I'm in the back and we're in the deserty part before
Sunnydale." Kelly said.

"DO YA SEE A FRICKIN CRATER?!!" Dawn yelled, turning to look back.

"Well, no, but..." Kelly said nervously.

"I SEE IT! " Doug said pointing to the crater that was once Sunnydale.

Dawn was noticeably more excited and turned forward.

"So, we're there yet?" Kelly asked.

I found myself in a very nice, modern apartment. It was a combonation of
silver, white and black and I wished I remembered this place. One thing I
did remember was that body, that face, those eyes-there was a memory in an
office, a quaint, green-ish office? There was teal eyes and long hair and a
smile. If only I could put it together...the face. Who was it?

"Remember anything?" Lindsey asked behind me.

"No, but I hope..." I started.

"Hope?" Lindsey chuckled nervously, " What is it with you and Hope?"

"Hope is all I need...I don't want you to think I'm some Charity..." I
said.

"Never! You're nothing like..." Lindsey stopped.

"Case." I finished.

At first, we just stared for a moment, then he began to speak, " I work for
a very prestigious law firm that does good. Helps people. But there are
people who do bad. Beware the blonde, the red power, and the eyepatch, they
tried to destroy the world." he explained.

"I can help." I smiled.

"Yes." Lindsey smirked, mentally thanking Amy for all her information.
