Willow said before we go to sleep i need to make an announcement.
Everybody looked at her and Willow said me,Buffy,Anya,and Xander are 
going up to Los Angeles in the morning.Buffy said Willow i think that 
we can wait a while to go up there and do what we had planned.Giles 
said hold on a second Buffy and then he said Willow why do the four 
of you need to go up to Los Angeles.Willow said we need to go there 
for two reasons one of which is to go see the Oracles and find out a 
way to end the game.Xander said Willow, Buffy is right we can wait 
until after Spike's group is stopped to go do that.Joyce said hold on 
one damn second if there is a way to stop the game its important that 
you find it out.Giles said Joyce there is no way to stop the game or 
it would have already been tried think about it there are a thousand 
immortals and most of them dont like the game one bit.Amy said I'm 
afraid Giles is right and certainly the watchers would have found out 
if there was a way to stop the game since they watch all the 
immortals.Willow stood up and will you please give me a chance to 
speak and explain why i believe there is a way to stop the game.Oz 
said go ahead Willow we will all listen to what you have to 
say.Willow said if you will all think back to when we were on 
Alcatraz and the member of ptb showed up you might remeber that she 
told us that Immortals,Kindred,Nightwalkers,and all others who 
supported good would be needed in the future.Amy said of course we 
all remeber that how could we forget.Willow said well she mentioned 
two millenia from now which i guess is when we will be needed and 
Giles said yes that was what i thought also.Willow said but that wont 
be possible if there isnt a way to stop the game and it isnt carried 
out.Joyce said you lost me Willow and Tara said you arent the only 
one.Buffy said Willow did some caculations on how the game has been 
going over the last couple centuries and according to the way she 
figured it out there wont be more than one or two immortals left in 
about two hundred years.Giles,Joyce,Amy,Tara,and Oz were shocked by 
the news and Joyce said Willow are you sure of this.Willow said i had 
several of my computers recheck my figures several times and they all 
came out with the same answer every time.Giles said that makes you 
think that there is a way to end the game and Willow said yes but it 
is up to us immortals to find it and hopefully the oracles will tell 
us something which will help us start a search for it.Joyce said it 
is a good thing you are doing and Xander said yes it is but I'am 
afraid it will have to wait until we have Spike and his group reined 
in.Giles said I'm afraid it cant Xander it is important not only to 
Buffy and Willow that an end to the game is found but to all the 
immortals and the people in the future they may be needed to 
protect.Buffy said so we can go to Los Angeles in the morning and 
Giles said absolutely not we will need you both here to help us go 
over the information.Joyce said Giles your not making sense first you 
say that they need to find out the information but then say they cant 
go to Los Angeles to see the oracles and find out anything.Giles said 
it isnt neccessary for them to go to Los Angeles and see the oracles 
Angel and the others up there can do it before they head down here 
tommorrow night.Willow said Giles i had two reasons for going to Los 
Angeles and Buffy said whats the second reason.Willow said if we do 
go up to Canada we will most likely need some guns but we cant take 
any with us.Xander said Willow is right the guys at the border patrol 
are very serious about not allowing any guns or other illegal items 
in or out of the country.Giles said you plan to go see Kendall didnt 
you.Willow said yes i figured that he might be able to smuggle some 
guns across the border for us or arrange for us to meet with someone 
in Canada who can provide us with the neccessary hardware.Giles said 
Gunn can contact Kendall for us and see if he can be of any 
help.Xander said Giles we will have one problem if whoever goes up 
there has to get guns from someone else besides Kendall.Joyce said 
why and Xander said Kendall has three people who work for him that 
make his special ammo like the ones we use.Oz said you mean like the 
wooden bullets and Xander said those and the silver ones.Willow said 
well we will just have to sneak a couple cases of ammo past the 
border guard.Joyce said Willow that will be almost impossible to do 
and if you try you might as well try to smuggle guns past them as 
well.Giles said that not exactly true one of the trunks Amanda 
shipped the weapons to us in as a secret compartment we can fill up 
with magazines loaded with wooden bullets.Buffy said why not smuggle 
a ammo case in the secret compartment instead of magazines filled 
with ammo.Giles said we will decide what to do after Gunn talks with 
Kendall and sees what he can do.

About an hour after getting off the phone with Natalie the elders 
were finally able to reach Xena and Gabrielle who were still on their 
way to Hawaii on their boat.When Gabrielle answered the phone Elder 
Weber said Bard this is Elder Weber me and my fellow elders need to 
speak to you and the princess.Gabrielle said hold on Elder Weber let 
me go fetch her and she laid the phone down.After Xena had set the 
automatic pilot on the course she wanted the boat to continue on she 
and Gabrielle went back below deck.Xena flipped on the conference 
speaker and she said Elders we are both here so go ahead.Elder Issel 
said Bard Princess thanks the the slayer's group we have been able to 
put names and histories to the sketches of those demon vampires 
committing the massacres.Xena said thats very good news and Elder 
Liassa said yes it is but we also have some bad news as well as an 
offer from the slayer's group.Gabrielle said who are the demon 
vampires and what was this offer the slayer's group made.Elder 
Mercedes told them the names of the vampires and Xena and Gabrielle 
recognized four of the names automatically.Xena said let me guess the 
offer the slayer's group made was one of help.Elder Briac said that 
is exactly what they offered but i say that we do not need anyone to 
help our enforcers to stop these demon vampires.Gabrielle said Elders 
we and Xena got to know the slayer's group quite well the two years 
we were in Sunnydale and i believe i can speak for both of us when i 
say that they are quite capable of handling themselves and could be 
of assistance to your enforcers.Xena said Gabrielle is right Elders 
and they are one of the most trustworthy groups that we have come 
across in the past few centuries.Elder Konal said you really trust 
them and Xena and Gabrielle both said yes.Elder Liassa said Bard 
Princess we learned just a little while ago that the situation is 
even worse than we expected.Xena said how could it get worse and 
Gabrielle said dont tell me that hunters have found out about the 
massacres and are actively hunting for Vampires.Elder Mercedes said 
no not that but its just as bad.Xena said what could be as bad as 
hunters actively hunting.Elder Anthony said the demon vampires have a 
pack of demon dogs with them.Xena yelled what and then she said 
Elders are you sure of this.Elder Konal said yes we are certain it 
was the Arborean Grace who detected the scent of their saliva in a 
wound of one of the seven bodies she and Jill found in the woods 
about a half mile from the ski resort.Xena said elders me and 
Gabrielle offered Michelle and her team our help if they need it and 
we are making that offer to you as well.Elder Briac said well i would 
like to accept your help for our enforcers rather than the slayer's 
group.Xena said actually elders it might be a good idea to have some 
of the slayer's group working with us and the enforcers.Elder Issel 
said you arent suggesting that the two of you along with our 
enforcers cant hunt down these demon vampires and stop them without 
help from the slayer's group.Xena said no of course i am not saying 
that but if we had the help of some of the slayer's group we might be 
able to make sure they are stopped before another massacre is 
committed.The next second a phone rang and Elder Mercedes answered 
it.Elder Mercedes said tell me your name and what task you or your 
group were given.A second later Aristotle said Elder this is 
Aristotle i have done as you have asked and i have some information 
that was already discovered.Elder Mercedes said Aristotle are you 
refering to the task that was laid before you just three hours 
ago.Aristotle said yes Elder that is what i am talking about may i 
tell you what was found out.Elder Mercedes said of course but wait a 
minute let me switch you over to a conference speaker so all of us 
can hear your report.Elder Mercedes looked at the others and she said 
Aristotle has something to report.Elder Konal said but him on the 
second conference speaker so all of us including the Bard and the 
Princess can hear what he has to say.

A second later the second conference speaker was turned on and Elder 
Mercedes said go ahead Aristotle we are listening.Aristotle said 
earlier this evening you gave me the task of monitoring the phone 
lines coming out of Sunnydale to see if anyone was using a computer 
to find information about massacres.Elder Konal said you came accross 
something and Aristotle said yes about ten thirty right as i was 
setting up a monitoring set for the telephone station in Sunnydale a 
file of information about a massacre that happened somewhere was sent 
over the phone line into Sunnydale.Elder Isaac said what do you mean 
by happened somewhere.Aristotle said i didnt get the connection 
hooked up fast enough to get more than a fifth of the file but what i 
did get leads me to believe that it was the work of the seven demon 
vampires.Xena said if that is true Elders that means there have been 
six massacres not five.Aristotle said there might actually have been 
seven.Elder Liassa said what do you mean.Aristotle said whoever it 
was who was searching for information found out that the entire 
population of small eskimo village completely disappeared in a weeks 
time.Gabrielle said where was the eskimo village located and 
Aristotle said a few miles away from the Canadian border.Elder Konal 
said Fucking great there might have been even more massacres 
committed than we are so far aware of.Elder Isaac said is that all 
you have to report Aristotle and he said yes elder but i will 
continue to monitor the phone lines.Elder Briac said Aristotle why 
havent you traced the information to where it went and accessed the 
person's computer.Aristotle said Elders i tried to do that but its 
impossible whoever it is has their computer untracable and to be 
truthfull almost every computer system in that damn town is protected 
exactly the same way.Elder Mercedes said then how were you able to 
patch through to the telephone station for Sunnydale.Aristotle said i 
connected to a telephone station that is right outside of Sunnydale 
thank goodness all the out of town calls are routed through that 
station.Elder Liasse said keep monitoring the phone lines and then 
she hung up the phone he was on.Elder Liasse said i call for a vote 
on getting some help for our enforcers.Elder Konal said do you mean 
get help from the bard and the princess,the slayer's group,or 
both.Elder Liasse said a combined force of the Bard and the Princess 
and those of the slayer's group who might be beneficial to our 
cause.Elder Isaac said i vote in favor of asking for help but only if 
there are a certain number of the slayer's group allowed to come and 
they agree to leave Toronto as soon as the matter is under 
control.Xena said we will need at least four specific members of the 
slayers group.Elder Konal said which ones and why will you need 
them.Xena said they are Buffy Summers who is the immortal 
slayer,Willow Rosenberg an immortal Wicca and a very good computer 
hacker,Cordelia Chase a seer,and Angelius himself since he knows 
Spike and three of the vampires better than anyone.Elder Weber said 
lets continue the vote and after a minute the vote was eight to one 
in favor of getting help for the enforcers.Elder Mercedes said Elder 
Konal it is vitally important that we put a stop to the demon 
vampires and anyway there is nothing saying we will ever have to ask 
for help for our enforcers after this situation.Elder Liasse said 
Elder Mercedes is right and we will have a special team consisting 
mostly of enforcers after the matter is handled.Elder Konal said ok i 
change my vote in favor of asking for help but i want Michelle's team 
to work with them.Xena said that is fine with me and i think the 
slayer's group will find it acceptable since they already met 
Michelle and her group.Elder Isaac said Princess how soon can you and 
the bard get to Toronto.Xena said we are a few hours from Hawaii so 
we can be back there late tommorrow night.Elder Weber said not any 
sooner and Gabrielle said no not any sooner than that because we have 
a meeting we must attend before we head back.Elder Mercedes said ok 
we will contact the slayer's group and let them know we will accept 
their offer.Gabrielle had an idea and she said hold on elders and 
then she whispered something to Xena.Xena listened to Gabrielle and 
then she smiled.Xena said Elders we will call them personally and 
arrange for them to fly up to Toronto with us.
