Joyce said Giles you are talking like Willow's parents are dead but 
they arent they are just chained up back there along with my ex 
husband.Willow looked up at Joyce and she said no Ms.Summers my 
parents arent back there all thats back there with Buffy's father are 
a pair of vampires who inhabit the bodies of my dead parents.Joyce 
walked up to Willow and she said how do you know this.Willow said 
last night i not only took ultraviolet pictures of the island with 
the satelite but infarred as well.Joyce said i dont understand.Willow 
said the infarred pictures only showed one person with any bodyheat 
but the ultraviolet showed that there were three people chained up in 
the cell that were moving around.Joyce wrapped her arms around Willow 
and she said i am so sorry Willow.Giles said Willow if you have known 
about your parents being dead since last night why didnt you tell 
anyone.Willow said i didnt tell you,Joyce,or most of the others 
because i knew you wouldnt have let me come along if you knew and i 
had to come so i could see to it that my parent's souls could rest in 
peace in the afterlife.Xander walked up to Willow and he said you 
should have told us Willow no matter what we might do.Giles said 
Xander is right Willow but i understand that you needed to come so 
you could see to it that your parent's souls could rest in peace in 
the afterlife.

Jeannette walked up to Xena and she said ma cherie that one is 
emotionally strong and has a strong sense of duty to family and 
friends.Xena said yes she does but hopefully she will be able to put 
the duty to family and friends to the side so that she can grieve now 
that her parent's souls are able to rest in peace in the 
afterlife.Gabrielle said Buffy and her friends will help her to 
grieve and Xena agreed with her.

When Buffy and the iron golem were walking to the cell that Buffy's 
father and the vampires who inhabited the bodies that once belonged 
to Willow's parents Buffy asked the iron golem to wait until she had 
got her father out of the cell before taking care of the vampires.The 
iron golem said it would and about thirty seconds later they walked 
into the cell the captives were chained up in.Buffy walked over to 
the wall her father was chained up to and she pulled open the 
manacles connected to the chains.Hank Summers fell to the floor 
instantly and Buffy said dad whats wrong as she knelt next to him.The 
Iron Golem said the witch made a magic sleep mist which is supposed 
to knock anyone who is alive unconcious a minute after they breathed 
it in.Buffy said thanks for the info and then she started to try to 
pick up her father but realized she couldnt as long as she had the 
ammo pack on her back.Buffy slid the ammo pack off her back and she 
put the gatlin gun down beside it.Buffy picked up her father and she 
walked out of the cell.The iron golem said i will bring your gun 
after i have taken care of these two.

When Buffy walked up to where the others were Joyce looked up at 
her and saw that Buffy was carrying her father who looked to be 
unconcious.Joyce said Buffy please dont tell me that he is dead and 
Buffy said no mom he is perfectly fine he was just knocked unconcious 
by the magic sleep mist that she made and she motioned back behind 
her.Amy said come on Tara lets go see whether or not we need to bind 
her so she cant use any magic.When Amy and Tara got up to the 
unconcious woman Amy recognized her immedietly and she said damn you 
mom.Tara said she is your mother and Amy said she gave birth to me 
but she wasnt much of a mother to me.Tara said i think we should bind 
her so she cant use magic.Cassandra who had walked up after checking 
what was in the cauldron said that isnt neccessary she wont wake up 
for six days thanks to the sleep mist she made.

Buffy looked at Willow who was crying now and was being hugged by 
Joyce.Angel walked up to Buffy and said give him to me and go comfort 
her.Buffy nodded before passing her father to Angel and then she 
walked over to Willow and Joyce.Buffy said Willow and Willow 
immedietly turned and walked into Buffy's open arms and she put her 
arms around Buffy.Buffy said go ahead Willow they can rest in peace 
now.Willow turned her head into Buffy's chest and the tears started 
rolling down her face faster.Giles,Joyce,and some of the others 
looked at Buffy and Giles said Buffy you knew that her parents were 
dead.Buffy nodded and said Willow told me last night when she came up 
to our bedroom after taking the pictures.Joyce said Buffy why didnt 
you tell us and Buffy said because i promised Willow i wouldnt after 
she explained that it was important that she see to it that her 
parent's souls could rest in peace.

The next second there was a flash of light and then a woman wearing 
what looked to be like leather clothes,a quiver of arrows on her 
back,and a bow in her right hand was standing before them.Gabrielle 
and Ephiny immedietly went down to one knee and did the Amazon sign 
of fealty.The woman turned to look at both Ephiny and Gabrielle and 
she said how many times do i have to tell you ladies that i am no 
longer the goddess who was the patron of the amazon nation i had to 
give up my identity when i joined the ptb.Gabrielle and Ephiny stood 
up and Gabrielle said we know that but its instinctive to do that.The 
woman smiled and she said i understand but try to break that 
instinct.Xena said why are you here and the woman said i am here to 
deliver several messages that pertain to all of you and your 
people.Xena said go ahead we are all listening.The woman said the 
first message is that the last of the Qrastil demons is right under 
your feet asleep for now but he will awaken in seven days at the faze 
of the moon.Anya,Giles,and Cassandra cried out upon hearing this and 
Angel said i take it that this is bad news.The woman looked at Angel 
and said very very bad news because the Qrastil demons were one of 
the demonic races that you know as the old ones.Cassandra said what 
must we do to stop it.The woman said presently it is asleep like I 
said which means it is very vulnerable and can be killed if enough 
damage is done to it.Xena said how can we damage it if its 
underground someplace.The woman smiled and said six of you carry some 
of the very items needed to damage it slightly and make it accessable 
to the weapons that you have aboard the very vechicles you came in to 
this island.Xena said which five of us and the woman said you will 
have to figure that out yourselves i cannot tell you any more.Giles 
said what are the other messages.The woman said the second message is 
that you are going to have a visit that the ptb arranged through 
him.Xanders said huh vague much.The Woman said you will understand 
soon and here is the third message.The woman said in the next two 
millenia this place shall become dark do not be footsteady instead be 
like water and flow with the tide for you shall be needed in time.The 
woman said keep your warrior skills sharp for you shall need them as 
shall mankind at that goes for Immortals,Kindred,Nightwalkers,and all 
the other races of earth who support good.The Woman said i have 
delivered my messages and i must go now but i sense those who art to 
visit close by and then in a flash of light she disappeared.Joyce 
said do any of you have any idea of what she was talking about when 
she mentioned visitors.Everybody shrugged or shook their heads no.

The next second a male voice said i believe she was talking about 
me,my friend Mark,and the two people the ptb arranged with him so 
they could visit with you for a little while.Gunn said who the hell 
are you and what are you talking about.Mark stepped up to Gunn and 
said boy watch what you say around my friend Johnathan he is an Angel 
and he dont like the H word being said around him.Johnathan said my 
friend Mark is right i am an Angel and i dont like the H word as he 
so delicately put it.Gabrielle said do you know Michael and Johnathan 
said everyone up there knows Michael and he told me to give you and 
her a message for him since he is too busy to visit and tell you 
himself.Xena said whats the message and Johnathan said he was glad 
that the two of you had stopped running around and trying to do good 
deeds while making other messes for him to clean up in the last 
century and a half and that he hopes you wont revert back to your old 
ways now that you have helped the slayer and her friends.Xena said 
when you see Michael tell him we just might go back to our old ways 
just to give him something to do.Johnathan laughed and he said i cant 
wait to give him that message.Out of thin Air came a voice saying oh 
you cant huh and then the voice said Gabrielle please try to keep her 
from making too much trouble for me.Gabrielle said we will see 
Michael but you will owe me one if i do.Buffy cleared her voice and 
she said excuse me but i remeber the woman saying that you were 
supposed to have two people who were to visit with us.Johnathan said 
yes and they are almost ready to appear but they are not to visit 
with all of you just you two and he pointed at Buffy and Willow.

Ten seconds later Johnathan said here they come and then the door to 
the next wing opened up and Ira and Sheila Rosenberg walked into the 
wing and they were both carrying a draydle.Willow looked at them and 
she said Mom Dad and she started walking toward them and Buffy 
followed her.As Willow got about two feet away from them Ira said 
Willow honey you can see us but you cant touch us because we are only 
here in spirit not body like Johnathan over there.Willow said Mom Dad 
I am so sorry that i couldnt stop it from happening.Sheila said 
Willow there was nothing you could have possibly done we were grabbed 
by the vampires in Europe and flown back over here in a private 
jet.Ira said she is right baby and he said and if you had tried to 
tell us about vampires and demons really existing we would have 
thought you were messing with drugs or had gone crazy and would have 
placed you in a institution somewhere.Sheila said Willow you have 
done us proud by doing what you thought was neccessary to allow us to 
rest in peace which we are able to do.Ira said when i first found out 
that you had changed religions from our family faith to that of 
Wiccan i wasnt happy but over the past few days it has been explained 
to me that it was neccesary and both of us have been shown some of 
the situations you and your friends have faced since your sophmore 
year in high school.Sheila said we know you have true and loyal 
friends who will support you and we know that you and Bunny i mean 
Buffy share a love bond that is very rare and i hope you wont let 
anything ever come between the two of you.Ira said Buffy look out for 
our little girl and keep her safe.Buffy said dont worry sir i will do 
whatever it takes to keep her safe and then she kissed Willow on the 
cheek.Johnathon said i am sorry to interrupt but your time is up we 
must go and they still have one more task to complete before they 
head for home.Ira and Sheila said goodbye to Willow in Hebrew and 
then they followed Johnathan and Mark out of the wing.

Nick who had been talking with Xena,Cassandra,and Giles about the 
Qrastill demon and how they could hurt it.Giles said well we know 
that our vechiclces are armed with weapons that can hurt it but what 
are these weapons that six of us carry that can do it damage or make 
it accessable to the weapons on the hovercraft and helicopter.Nick 
looked around and he spotted Xander who still had his law 80 rocket 
launchers and he remebered that three people had one of them.Nick 
said i believe that the law 80 rocket launchers are three of the 
items.Cassandra said that leaves us with three other items we need to 
identify.Xena looked at Giles and she said didnt you mention some 
plastique explosives you were going to bring with you.Nick said yeah 
they brought some c4 and cv38 plastique which me and Amanda split 
between the two of us.Giles said thats five of the items now we only 
need to figure out whats the last item.Each of them started thinking 
about what the sixth item could be but then Gabrielle walked up to 
them and she said Xena i believe i have one of the items with me or 
actually three of the items with me.Xena looked at Gabrielle and she 
said Gabrielle i believe thats not possible because we four have 
already identified five of the items so you cannot have three of 
them.Giles said hold on Xena and then he said the Woman told us that 
six people had the items not that there were six items.Xena said 
Hades your right and then she looked back at Gabrielle and said what 
is the items you think are the ones she mentioned.Gabrielle said i 
have the homing devices that the smart bombs which are aboard the 
helicopter will home in on.Xena said that could easily be one of the 
items and Gabrielle said it has to be because the smart bombs are 
useless without them being active.Nick said Giles pull out that map 
we need to make a plan of what to do to hurt the Qrastill demon with 
what we have now and where to do it.Giles pulled the map out of his 
web belt and unfolded it.Once it was unfolded Xena and Nick looked at 
it and Nick said these three halways should be hit with rockets from 
the law 80 rockets.Xena said yes and we should plant some of the 
homing devices here and here and she pointed at two places on the 
map.Giles said excuse me but i dont know if the smart bombs will be 
able to do that much damage to the demon since it will still be 
covered with concrete and rock.Nick said Giles is right we need to 
expose certain sections of the demon so that the smart bombs can do 
the most damage possible.Xena said how can we do that and Nick said 
we can do it with the c4 explosives we brought with us.Xander walked 
up and he said Nick i have an idea of another way we can hurt the 
demon.Nick said Xander we are busy here please go away but Giles said 
hold on Xander ussually has good ideas or he doesnt bother mentioning 
them.Xena looked at Xander and she said whats the idea.Xander said 
how about flusing some grenades down the commodes if we do it in 
enough of the cells it will surely damage the demon some.Giles wasnt 
so sure about Xander's suggestion but Nick said Giles you were right 
and Xander thats a great idea especially if the demon is around the 
pipes because it will get hit with plenty of metal shrapnel from the 
pipes.Nick called everyone together and then he quickly outlined the 
plan they had come up with.Nick and Amanda heades straight to the 
courtyards to plant the c4 explosives in the center of them.Buffy 
walked up to the iron golem and she asked him to carry her father 
outside the prison and put him in the back of the pickup truck.Amy 
walked and asked him to do the same with her mother and the iron 
golem said he would and he would stay with them to make sure nothing 
happened to 
them.Angel,Giles,Joyce,Buffy,Willow,Cordelia,Amy,Tara,Gunn,Xena,Gabrie
lle,Jeannette,Daedelous,Ephiny,the enforcer,Faith,and the other 
vampires who came with Xena spread out into different wings and 
started flushing all the grenades they had down the commodes which 
were luckily still working.Xander,Nick Wolfe,and the Arborean who had 
the law 80 rocket launcher took positions in the three long hallways 
and they started blowing up the hallway floor with rockets.The prison 
was rocking with explosions from the grenades,rockets,and c4 
plastique for several minutes and then Xena,Gabrielle,and Jeannette 
headed for the two courtyards and the middle hallway which Xander had 
used more rockets on than the others and a section of the demon was 
visible.All three of them activated the homing devices and then 
either placed them where the damage had been done or threw it less 
than a foot from the demon.

Once outside the prison everybody headed back toward the helicopter 
or the hovercraft.Hank Summers,and Catherine Maddison were put in a 
back room of the hovercraft and the iron golem said he would watch 
them.Giles suggested that they move the hovercraft off the island 
before starting the attack.Nick agreed but then he said that only the 
helicopter would be attacking the prison.Joyce said why we have ten 
hyperion rockets and the ruby and diamond laser.Nick said damn what 
am i thinking and then he said ok we will attack as well but we had 
better notify Xena and the others.Cordelia got on the radio and 
immedietly relayed the information to Xena.Xena told them to wait 
until the smart bombs exploded before launching their attack because 
she didnt want to risk the homing devices being damaged by their 
attack.Cordelia told Nick and Nick told her to tell Xena that they 
would wait for her signal to attack before doing anything.
