...Rulz The World
Author: Alicia Email: [email protected] Spoilers: Nada Dedication: To my sis, Sam, for giving me the idea, even if you were being sarcastic...
Buffy and Angel held onto each other in desperation. You could smell their fear. It wasn't fear for themselves, but for the rest of the world. They knew that they were going to die, but they would be together. No, the rest of the world deserved their concern. The others were all dead, Cordy and Wesley, Giles and Olivia, Xander and Anya, Oz, Willow and Tara...even Whistler. They were the only ones left. They had failed in their duty. They had known that they couldn't protect the world forever, but they had thought that they could at least be a barrier between the world...and the Initiative. They couldn't have been more wrong. Buffy had underestimated Maggi Walsh. Never, in her wildest dreams, could she have predicted exactly what her little 'adjustments' to a certain human body, could have done. He had quickly become more powerful than Amy, Tara, Willow and Michael all put together. It was worse than a shy person on Jerry Springer. Angel pulled Buffy even closer. They were contained in one of the Initiative's holding cells. Outside, an evil greater than the First, was laying plans to take over thewhole of the United States. He had first taken control of the Hellmouth, which the now-dead Scooby Gang had lost their lives trying to prevent. Even the most powerful spells didn't stop him. Then it had been up to Buffy and Angel to stop him from taking Los Angeles, then California... In the process, Buffy had been captured. She and Angel had been surrounded and arrested by the entire Initiative Angel escaped. Normally, he never would have left her, but she had urged him to. There was no way to save everyone if they were both captured. He had been able to escape by leaping to a beam above them and continuing upward, where the troops couldn't go. Being a vampire had its advantages... Unfortunately, Angel had been captured a week later after several unsuccessful attempts to break Buffy out. Thankfully, they had been put in the same cell, so they would spend their last moments together. Twenty-four hours later, all that was left of the Initiative was a pile of rubble. Underneath it all, lay the broken body of Buffy Anne Summers, and the ashes of her vampire lover, Angel... Meanwhile, the American President gave up his power to the new supreme darkness, other national leaders quickly followed suit... Within forty-eight hours, the world held its breath in fear of its new ruler, channeler of the black arts, Riley Finn... *~*~*~* At that moment, Alicia woke up, safe in her bed, in her bedroom, with walls covered in Buffy and Angel posters. She was breathing heavily, "It was just a dream! Thank the Goddess, oh, thank the Goddess, it was just a dream!" Then she noticed the television in the corner of the room. She had accidentally left it on. Buffy had just come on. And standing in the middle of the screen was a grinning Riley Finn, who had just gained power over the United States... Alicia screamed as if the Hounds of Hell were after her... The End
