When Gunn and Cordelia reached the address that was written on the 
piece of paper they saw about ten women standing around a helicopter 
which was nothing like Gunn had seen.Gunn turned off the truck's 
engine and then he climbed out of the cab.Cordelia parked the 
landrover alongside the truck and she got of it and walked over to 
Gunn who was standing in front of the truck.Two women seperated from 
the others and they headed toward Gunn and Cordelia.

When the two women got a few feet away from Gunn and Cordelia they 
stopped and one of the women said what do you want.Gunn said we are 
here to leave some items for some associates of ours and there is 
supposed to be someone here to meet us and take the keys.The woman 
said who are the items for and Cordelia who had spotted the feathers 
sticking out of the woman's hair right behind her ear said they are 
for Xena and some of their friends.The two women relaxed and the 
woman who had been speaking said my name is Ardrell and this is 
Shaunta and we and our sisters were sent here to get the items from 
you.Gunn said hold on how can we be certain of that and Ardrell said 
well the easiest way would be for me to call Xena or Gabrielle and 
have them tell you personally.Gunn smiled and said that wont be 
neccessary i trust you and then he said come on i will unlock the 
back of the truck.Shaunta and Ardell followed Cordelia and Gunn after 
Shaunta called their sisters to come and help them.

When Gunn opened the back of the truck he said all of the stuff in 
here is for Xena's group.Ardell looked into the back of the truck and 
she said all of this and Gunn said all of it.Shaunta looked at the 
bombs and she said you dont mean those too certainly.Gunn said oh yes 
all three of them are for Xena and the others in case they need to 
drop something to clear the area around where ever they are going to 
land the helicopter.Shaunta said come on sisters lets get this truck 
unloaded and put everything aboard the helicopter on the double.

When Willow walked out of the cabin she headed for the room that 
the safe was in.After shutting the door to the room Willow walked 
over to the safe and she typed in the access code.The safe popped 
open after Willow punched the seventh number in the code and then she 
typed in two more numbers before opening the safe.Willow got the 
diamond and ruby out of the safe and then she walked out of the room 
and headed toward the room that she could get access to the 
laser.Willow opened the cabinet and she quickly slid the diamond into 
its place and then she walked down to where the ruby went and slid it 
into its notch as well.Willow checked the laser over once before 
closing the cabinet and then she headed back toward the cabin.

As Willow was approaching the cabin she heard the voices of several 
people who were all trying to talk at the same time and she 
recognized one of the voices as belonging to Giles.As she entered the 
cabin Willow put two fingers in her mouth and she let out a shrill 
whistle.Everybody looked at her and Buffy said Willow we have a big 
problem that none of us ever thought about.Willow said whats the 
problem.Giles sid none of us have the slightest bit of knowledge on 
how to pilot this thing.Joyce said maybe one of Cassandra's group 
will know how to pilot the hovercraft.Giles said maybe one of them 
will know how to pilot a hovercraft but i strongly doubt it.Willow 
who had walked over to the consol right in front of the hovercraft's 
front window which was the one that had the controls to pilot the 
hovercraft on it and she made a startling discovery.Willow turned 
around to face everyone and she said guys we dont need someone to 
pilot the hovercraft it can be done by the hovercraft's computer 
after we put in the coordinates for Alcatraz.Giles said what and he 
walked over to where Willow was and she showed him that she was 
right.Giles turned around and she said Willow is correct the 
hovercraft's computer can take us there after we put in the longitude 
and latitude coordinates for Alcatraz island.Buffy said that is good 
and all but i would like a whole lot better if we had someone who 
could pilot it so that he or she could do some evasive manuevers if 
we run into more trouble than we can handle.Joyce said we will just 
have to hope for the best and Xander said Amen to that.

About thirty minutes later two blips appeared on the radar screen 
and Tara said hey guys we got two blips coming this way.Giles turned 
to Tara and said keep an eye on the two blips and tell me if they get 
much closer.About three minute later Tara said Giles they are very 
close less than two blocks away.Giles put down the pamplet for the 
consol that pilots the ship and he headed over to the consol Tara was 
at.Giles was halfway there when Buffy and Willow both sensed the 
quickenings of six other immortals.Buffy said Giles its just 
Cassandra and the others.Giles said you guys continue reading the 
pamplets i will go out and guide them in here.Buffy said ok but keep 
an eye out for Faith she should be arriving anytime now.Giles was 
almost to the cabin door when Tara said Giles there is another blip 
on the radar screen and it has been going up and down the streets as 
if the person driving it is looking for something or someone.Willow 
said thats most likely Faith and Giles agreed with her.

Giles was just walking out of the warehouse to greet Cassandra and 
the others and lead them to the hovercraft when Nick's ford 65 
mustang turned onto the street several warehouses down from the one 
the hovercraft was in.Faith saw Giles instantly and she said hey Nick 
thats the warehouse where i am supposed to meet my sister.Nick said 
Faith how can you be sure that is the right warhouse there are 
several dozen warehouses spread out around here and they could be 
meeting in any one of them.Faith said Nick I just saw Giles walk out 
of that one and then she pointed at Giles a few seconds before he and 
the others walked into the warehouse.Nick drove down to where several 
vechicles were parked together and then he and Faith got out of his 
car.Nick got Faith's tote bag out of the back seat and tossed it to 
her and then he got his own tote bag.As they were walking toward the 
warehouse Faith said Nick they are just expecting me so they might 
not be happy that i brought you along.Nick said i dont think they 
will mind much after all the will need all the help they can get to 
help with the rescue.

When Faith and Nick stepped into the warehouse they stopped abruptly 
when they saw that the hovercraft.Faith smiled and said damn that 
thing is big but what the hell is it.Nick said its a hovercraft but 
its the biggest damn one i have ever seen.Faith said well i guess we 
both lost our bet so we each get to keep the money we had bet.Nick 
said yes and it also answers your question about how we are 
supposedly going to get to Alcatraz.

Giles was escorting Cassandra and the others to the cabin when 
Richie spotted Faith and Nick and he said hey Giles we got 
company.Giles turned and looked at Faith and Nick and he said its ok 
i know them and Buffy called Faith and asked her for help.Amanda said 
what about him.Giles said i dont know why he is here but i plan to go 
find out.Giles said you will find Buffy and the others in the cabin 
which and then he turned around and headed for the gangplank.

Giles was walking down the gangplank when Faith and Nick reached 
it.Giles said its good to see you again Faith although i wish it was 
under happier circumstances and then he hugged her.Faith was 
surprised when Giles hugged her but she said i know what you mean G 
man.Giles looked towared the open entrance of the warehouse and said 
is it only the two of you or is the rest of you group on its way 
here.Nick said its only the two of us and Faith said i would have 
come alone but Nick cancelled my call for a taxi and i didnt have any 
time to waste by calling for a second cab.Nick said and the only 
other way she could have gotten here without me was if she had tried 
to knock me unconcious and Faith wouldnt have been much use to you 
and the others if she had done that even if she could have gote here 
before ou left.Giles said what do you mean.Nick said she would have 
been too badly hurt to help you guys or even possibly get here on 
time.Giles looked at Nick and he said sir are you aware that Faith is 
a slayer and as such she is a stronger and a better fighter than most 
people.Nick said yes i know that but it doesnt change what i said one 
iota.Faith said Giles my friend Nick here is an ex navy seal and me 
and him spar quite regularly and i almost dont have to hold back 
anything when we spar.Giles was surprised to hear this from Faith but 
then he remebered that Faith had mentioned that Faith had told him 
that her friend was an ex navy seal.Giles looked at Nick and said are 
you really an ex navy seal like in those movies with Charlie Sheen 
and Demi moore.Faith laughed and Nick said yes i am but the guys in 
those movies were wusses and none of them would have lasted two days 
in the training camp real navy seals have to go through.Giles said 
sir may i ask if durring your time in the navy or a seal were you 
ever taught how to pilot a hovercraft.Nick said all seals are taught 
to operate all land and water vechicles and even some helicopters and 
jets.Giles said boy am i glad to hear that because we need a pilot 
for the hovercraft.Nick said well i will be glad to do whatever i can 
so just show me where the controls are so i can get familiar with 
them.

Giles,Faith,and Nick walked up the gangplank and headed for the 
cabin.As they were approaching the cabin Faith who had been looking 
around since boarding the hovercraft said Giles why havent you and 
the others positioned guns in certain places around the 
hovercraft.Giles laughed and then he said Faith we dont need to place 
weapons around the hovercraft because the hovercraft itself is armed 
with an assortment of weaponry.Nick said i havent seen any sign of 
weaponry on this hovercraft since i boarded it and Faith said neither 
have i.Giles said the weapons are presently in hidden in storage 
compartments which is where they will stay until we need them.Nick 
said exactly what kind of weaponry does the hovercraft have.Giles 
said well there are three different types of guns aboard her and 
there are several of each one,there is the minature torpedo 
launchers,the rocket launchers,and a diamond and ruby laser.Both Nick 
and Faith's jaw hit the floor of the hovercraft upon hearing this and 
Nick quickly said come on tell us what weaponry this thing really 
has.Giles said if you dont want to take my word on it you can read 
the pamplet about what weapons the hovercraft has once we get in the 
cabin.Giles continued onto the cabin and Nick said damn this 
hovercraft has some hi tech weaponry if what he says is true.Faith 
said oh it is at least as far as he knows it is and then she followed 
Giles into the cabin.

Once in the cabin Giles quickly introduced those who didnt know 
each other to each other.Giles said excuse me but there are numerous 
consols which control the hovercraft's different systems and i ask 
that we all pair off and find one that you would like to learn.Upon 
hearing this Xander jumped out of the chair he had been sitting in 
and ran for one of the chairs that controlled the guns.As he was 
running for one of the chairs Xander said i call one of the gunchairs 
and then he sat down in one of them.When Faith heard this she ran to 
another one of the chairs facing the opposite direction from the 
chair Xander was sitting in.Nick Wolfe beat Richie to the last of the 
four chairs but Richie got luckly when Buffy turned her chair over to 
him since she had already learned how to work the guns controls.Buffy 
walked over to the weapon activation consol and sat down in front of 
it.Buffy was just starting to pick up the pamplet when Anya who was 
still sitting in the same chair she had been earlier asked her which 
consol she could learn.Buffy looked around and she said Anya you can 
learn to work any of the consols you want to and the consols for 
communications and the video scanner havent even been touched 
yet.Anya got up from the chair and she walked over to the consol for 
the video scanner which sounded to her like it would be quite easy to 
learn to work.Anya had just sat down at the video scanner when 
Rebecca walked up and asked if she could join her and Anya said of 
course.Amy and Tara switched places at the radar and sonar consols 
and they were joined by Methos and Connor.Buffy was joined by 
Cassandra after Cassandra saw Anya take over another consol.Amanda 
walked up to Joyce who was still learning about the controls for the 
diamond and ruby laser and she immedietly joined Joyce after hearing 
about the diamond and ruby laser.Giles and Nick were at the piloting 
controls for the hovercraft and Giles was being taught which controls 
did what even though it would be Nick who would be piloting the 
hovercraft.Willow was manning the consol that controlled the power 
going to the engines as well as the other systems that the hovercraft 
had.Ramirez walked up to Willow and asked if he could join her 
although he was sure that there was no way he could learn to operate 
any of the equipment quickly.Willow said dont be so sure and then 
over the next hour she explained what each of the controls did on her 
consol in a way that he could understand even though he was 
technologically illiterate.

When Cordelia and Gunn got back Joyce saw them and she decided that 
it was time for the ladies to go into one of the other rooms and 
change into the blacksuits and then arm themselves because dusk was 
less than an hour away.Joyce said Amanda you go get the women on that 
side and i will get the ones on this side because we all need to go 
change clothes and get ready for tonight.Amanda said ok and she 
headed for the opposite side of the room.When Giles saw Gunn and 
Cordelia he said hey what took you two so long to get back.Gunn said 
we had to wait for the ladies who were waiting at the address to 
unload the items that were for Xena's group from the truck so we 
could bring it back here.Giles said you were supposed to leave the 
truck there and come straight back here.Cordelia said we would have 
but they wouldnt let us leave it on their property so we had to wait. 
Joyce walked up with Amy,Tara,Buffy,and Cassandra in tow and she said 
come on Cordelia we need to go change into the blacksuits and arm 
ourselves.Giles looked at Joyce and said lets all do that and Joyce 
said hold it you guys will have to wait until after we are finished 
dressing or bring some of the blacksuits in here and change while we 
are in there.Nick said you guys have blacksuits also and Giles said 
hey we have some contacts that keep us equipped with what we need.

They all went into the room where the blacksuits,armored 
longcoats,the guns and other assorted weapons,and all the other items 
that they had brought with them were at.Nick and Faith were 
completely shocked by what they saw before them and Amanda and the 
other immortals were surprised that Buffy and the others were really 
able to get the items that they had said they could.Joyce said come 
on get some of the blacksuits and then get out of here so we ladies 
can change.Giles and the other men quickly went through the 
blacksuits and they found ones that were in their size and then 
headed for the cabin.When all the guys were out of the room Joyce 
shut the door and then she said well lets get to it ladies.

After finding blacksuits in their sizes Buffy and the other women 
quickly got undressed and put on the blacksuits.After Willow had her 
blacksuit on she walked over to where the different types of holsters 
were and she put on a double shoulder holster and a gunbelt with two 
holsters and eight compartments for clips on it.Willow armed herself 
with two glock 9mm and two 44 automags and then slid extra clips into 
the compartments on both the shoulder holster and gunbelt.Buffy and 
the other women followed in her footsteps and soon all of them were 
armed.After arming herself with the pistols Willow walked over to 
where the rifles and heavier caliber rifles were.Willow picked up the 
519 sniping rifle and a steyr aug rifle and she carried them to a 
corner away from the other guns and laid them against the wall.

Once all the ladies were dressed in the blacksuits Joyce said i am 
going to tell the men that they can come back in here and arm 
themselves.Buffy said mom wait lets get all the guns we are claiming 
in on pile so they cant choose from them.Amy said thats a good idea 
and Joyce said ok but lets do it quickly.Four minutes later they had 
all the guns they were going to take with them grouped together in a 
stack in the corner of the room.
