Xena,Gabrielle,and the others were two thirds across the street when 
the enforcer who was standing outside the entrance along with the two 
nightwalkers who allowed certain normal people besides those of the 
community into the club noticed them approaching.The enforcer said 
here they come open the doors when they get closer and do no i repeat 
do not move in any threatening manner toward the redhead.The two 
nightwalkers looked at each other and one of them shrugged his 
shoulders before turning to get a good look at the redheaded young 
woman.The moment the nightwalker saw Willow's face he took about a 
step and a half toward Buffy and the others but the enforcer grabbed 
him by the arm.The nightwalker turned to face the enforcer and the 
enforcer said what the hell did i just tell both of you less than a 
minute ago.The nightwalker said but she is one of them your team is 
supposed to be looking for.The enforcer said you are mistaken she is 
not one of those we are looking for although she looks exactly like 
one of them.The other nightwalker said you mean its her twin and the 
enforcer said yes something like that.Xena and the others walked up 
to them and Xena said hello i believe me and my friends are 
expected.The enforcer said you are all expected and then he said open 
the doors for them.One of the nightwalkers reached into his pocket 
and pulled out a key to unlock the door and let them in.Willow 
recognized the enforcer as the one she had blasted and she stepped up 
to him.Willow said i didnt have a chance to apologize a couple nights 
ago for blasting you with that energy bolt like i did so i apologize 
now.The enforcer looked down at Willow who was about a foot smaller 
than her and he said you dont need to apologize after all it was me 
who attacked first.Willow said but i could have really hurt you if 
not destroyed you altogether.The enforcer said i could have also 
severely hurt you if not killed you as well by handling you the way i 
did.Willow said you may have hurt or killed me and like you i would 
have healed but unlike you i would have soon revived.The enforcer 
looked at Willow with a puzzled look on his face and Willow said i am 
a swordswinger i believe that is what your people call us.The 
enforcer said your a swordswinger and Buffy who had stepped forward 
said actually both of us are.Buffy said come on Willow lets not keep 
the others waiting and then they walked into the club.The enforcer 
immedietly followed them in and he looked around the club which was 
still almost completely empty looking for Michelle because he needed 
to tell her that the slayer and the redhead were swordswingers.

Xena,Gabrielle,Angel,and Cordelia waited near the door for Buffy and 
Willow and once they were altogether Xena said come on lets go find a 
booth to sit down in.A minute later they sat down in a corner booth 
and Xena said Michelle should show anytime now.Buffy said please 
point out Lacroix to us so we know what he looks like.Gabrielle 
looked around and said thats him up there in the soundbooth speaking 
into a microphone.Buffy,Willow,Cordelia,and Angel turned to look 
toward the soundbooth and they saw Lacroix.Angel turned to Buffy and 
said why is it important that you know what Lacroix looks like.
Cordelia said Angel according to Xena and Gabrielle over a millenia 
ago Lacroix tried to turn a woman who he knew was already immortal.
Angel said you mean you tried to turn an immortal woman into a 
vampire and Xena said yes he did and both Buffy and Willow need to be 
carefull around him because he might try again.Willow said again 
thanks for the warning and Xena said your welcome young one.Gabrielle 
said thats what Xena calls anyone who isnt over a millenia.Willow 
said well it looks like we are going to be called young one for quite 
a long time eh Buffy and Buffy said thats for sure.

A minute later several Nightwalkers came up to the booth and one of 
the nightwalkers said hey your in our both so get up or we will throw 
you out.Xena said excuse me but i am afraid me and my friends were 
here first and there was no reserved marker on the table so go find 
another booth.The nightwalker stepped closer to the table and he said 
you bloody kindred are always thinking your superior to us and look 
down at us because you can go out in the daytime as you please but 
this is our town and you had better remeber it so get up and move out 
of our booth.Gabrielle said we dont want any trouble we are here 
because we were asked to come.A female nightwalker said who the hell 
would ask you guys to come here and why.The next second Jeannette 
stepped up to the booth and she said is there some problem 
here.Everybody in the booth or near it looked at Jeannette and the 
guy said yeah there is a problem these kindred and their human pets 
are in our booth.A female nightwalker said hell they shouldnt even be 
allowed in the club this is a hangout for us not them.Jeannette said 
who was here first and the nightwalkers said we were of course this 
is our town or least it was before they got here.Jeannette said i 
mean who was in the booth first tonight.Xena said we were and 
Jeannette looked at the group of nightwalkers and said go find 
yourselves another booth.The leader of the group said hey who the 
bloody hell do you think you are putting them before your own kind 
you traitor.The nightwalker spit on Jeannette and several of the 
others did so as well.The next second Xena was up out of the booth 
and she had the leader of the nightwalkers by his throat.Xena said 
you will speak and behave respectfully to her do you understand 
me.Jeannette put her hand on Xena's arm and she said Xena let me 
handle this they are nightwalkers after all it is only right that i 
handle it since i am the one they insulted.Vachon stepped forward 
with two enforcers behind him and he said Senorita Jeannette do you 
need assistance.Jeannette said escort these to the lower waiting area 
i shall deal with them when i have time to spare.Vachon said if you 
guys are smart you will go peacefully and an enforcer said oh they 
will go peacefully or they wont go anywhere else ever again.The group 
of nightwalkers looked at the two enforcers and they knew they were 
in trouble.Vachon said this way and he led them into the back of the 
club and down to the basement which had several waiting areas where 
vampires used to sleep when Jeannette owned the raven.Vachon shut the 
door once they were inside the waiting area which had several bunk 
beds still in it while the others had wooden bottle racks in the 
others full of various types of wine and other liquors Lacroix had 
collected down through the centuries.As he approached the steps to go 
back upstairs Vachon turned and said i know that any of you could 
break the lock on the door and leave but i strongly suggest you wont 
or it will be Lacroix who deals with you instead of his daughter 
Jeannette.The group of nightwalkers being new to Toronto were shocked 
by this piece of news and one of them sat on a bed and said we fucked 
up royally.The leader said hey what the fuck are you talking about 
why should we be afraid of this Lacroix dude or his daughter.A female 
nightwalker said you are a fool Sid and a real stupid one because 
almost every Nightwalker knows about the General and his family.Sid 
said your telling me this Lacroix dude is the general and several of 
them said yes.Sid said your right Tyler we are fucking screwed.A 
female said we may get lucky if his daughter Jeannette punishes us 
personally like she mentioned instead of letting Lacroix do it for 
her.

Michelle and two enforcers walked out of a room right as Vachon was 
escorting the nightwalkers to one of the holding cells.Michelle asked 
one of the enforcers following Vachon what had happened and she was 
told what the nightwalkers had done.Michelle said you two stand at 
the top of the stairs no one is to come up from there and no one is 
to do down except for Jeannette unless they are accompanied by 
Jeannette or me.The enforcer said what about Lacroix and Michelle 
said it was Jeannette who was insulted so she shall punish them for 
it.The enforcer said but neither Lacroix or Nicholas will see it that 
way and Michelle said what happens to them after Jeannette has 
punished them and they have left the raven is no concern of ours.

Michelle and the two enforcers walked out of the back area and after 
looking around the club they walked over to the booth that Xena and 
the others were at.Michelle said hello Xena Gabrielle and then she 
said hello to Buffy and Willow.Michelle looked at Angel and Cordelia 
and she said you must be Angel and Cordelia and Angel said yes we 
are.Buffy said this is Michelle she is the leader of the group of 
enforcers we will be working with.Michelle looked at Angel and she 
said Angel know that Spike and Drusilla are your children and that 
Darla is your sire but do not let that interfere with the task before 
us or else.Angel looked right into Michelle's eyes and he said i know 
they have to be stopped Michelle and i will do whatever is neccessary 
to stop them.Michelle said we cannot kill them the elders and the 
several conclaves of the kindred in neighboring towns want to put 
them on trial which will be seen by all the kindred and nightwalker 
communities around the planet via a special satelite that is orbiting 
the planet.Buffy said just capturing them is going to make our job 
more difficult and Angel said thats for sure.Michelle said i know but 
together we should be able to do it.Xena said when are we going to 
start the meeting.Michelle said it will be a while we have to wait 
until Lacroix gets to a point where he can start the prerecorded part 
of the show he made earlier in the day.

Buffy looked at Michelle and said is it ok if we get up and dance or 
anything.Michelle said i dont see why you cant and Xena said go ahead 
and enjoy yourselves.Buffy looked at Willow and she said do you want 
to dance and Willow said of course i will dance with you every chance 
i get.Cordelia looked at Angel and said what about you and Angel said 
sure might as well and then all four of them one by one slid out of 
the booth.Willow said Xena will you please hold this for me it will 
be a bit odd trying to dance with it and she took the shotgun out of 
the shotgun holster.Michelle looked at the shotgun and then she said 
you guys are armed and Buffy said of course.Michelle said werent you 
searched before you entered and Xena said no none of us were.Michelle 
said what other weapons do you have and Xena said they have an 
assortment of guns,swords,and a whip.Cordelia said us being armed 
doesnt mean we cant dance does it.Michelle looked at them and she 
said no but i must ask for you to hand over the shotguns and 
swords.Willow said Michelle we will give the shotguns to Xena and 
Gabrielle to hold but no one gets me and Buffy's swords.Michelle said 
come on i will return them to you later on.Buffy said sorry Michelle 
but we arent about to let our Massamune katanas out of our grasp.Xena 
looked at Buffy and she said your swords were made by Massamune and 
Willow said yes they were.Xena said may i see them and Willow and 
Buffy both pulled their swords out of the loops on their belts.Xena 
said Willow please draw your sword and Willow drew it so that Xena 
could see it.Xena looked at it for a few moments and she said its a 
work of art.Gabrielle said here we go again you and your fascination 
with swords and other weapons.Xena looked at Gabrielle and said that 
is just not a sword it is a work of art created by one of the 
greatest swordsmiths to ever live.Xena looked at Michelle and said 
let them keep the swords they can be trusted not to use them.Willow 
said we certainly wont and Buffy said yeah why run the risk of 
damaging our swords by fighting someone when that is what we have 
guns for.Michelle said ok but leave the shotguns at the booth with 
Xena and Gabrielle.Buffy and Angel took their shotguns out of the 
shotgun holsters and placed them on the table next to Willow's 
shotgun.

Willow,Buffy,Cordelia,and Angel walked out onto the dance floor and 
they started dancing.Michelle told the enforcers who had come with 
her from the back to spread out and keep an eye on Buffy and the 
others and to immedietly intercede if it even looks like trouble might
be starting.Michelle turned to look at Xena and said how could you 
two allow them to come here armed.Xena said actually i told them to 
come armed and Michelle said why in the hell did you do that Xena.
Xena said so that they could be able to protect themselves and give 
Toronto's community a good reason not to try anything.Michelle said 
the pistols would have been enough to do that you didnt have to let 
them bring shotguns too.Gabrielle said actually we didnt know they 
had brought shotguns until we arrived in the parking lot across the 
street.Michelle said what are the shotguns loaded with and Xena said 
they arent loaded but they do have rounds for them in the pockets of 
their coats.Michelle said what kind of rounds and Xena said most 
likely dragonfire because thats the only kind of incendiary round for 
shotguns that i know of.Michelle said there is a new type of 
incendiary shell for shotguns its called the phoenix and its twice as 
powerfull as dragonfire.Xena said damn thats the last thing we need 
and Michelle said thats for certain.Gabrielle said Michelle do you 
happen to know what a phoenix round looks like and Michelle said yes 
i do why.Gabrielle reached into her purse and she pulled out a round 
she had snuck out of Cordelia's coat pocket.Michelle said Gabrielle 
thats a phoenix round and Xena said Gabrielle where did you get that 
from.Gabrielle said i took it out of Cordelia's coat pocket.Michelle 
said this is really fucking great they have phoenix rounds.Gabrielle 
said actually they have both phoenix and dragonfire rounds i 
recognized one of the dragonfire rounds from our trip to Alcatraz.
Michelle said when did you guys ever go to Alcatraz and why.Xena said 
we went to free Buffy father and Willow's parents from Spike's group 
who had kidnapped them about three years ago.Michelle said you must 
have gone right before it was mysteriously destroyed.Gabrielle giggled
and Xena had a sly smile on her face and Michelle knew they knew 
something about what happened to Alcatraz.Michelle said what do you 
know about Alcatraz and what happened to it.Xena said Michelle we are 
what happened to it and Michelle said what do you mean.Gabrielle said 
after freeing Buffy's father we found out that there was an old one 
sleeping right under Alcatraz and we killed it.Michelle said you 
killed an old one and then said how could you do such a thing.Xena 
said its quite surprising what can be done with modern explosives,
bombs,rockets,missles,and a laser.Gabrielle said the island was 
completely leveled by the old ones power as it died.Michelle said 
hold on you said that you went to rescue Buffy's father and Willow's 
parents but you only rescued Buffy's father.Xena said Willow's 
parents had both been turned and they were released so that their 
souls could rest in peace in the afterlife.Michelle said you could 
have used magic to restore their souls instead of killing them.
Gabrielle said Michelle Willow's parents were jewish and Michelle
said oh i didnt know that.
