A12 Prophecy Girl
Giles discovers an old
prophecy that foretells the death of the Slayer
at the hands of the Master, led to him by the
Annointed One like a lamb to the slaughter, who
then rises from below to walk the Earth again,
and opens the Hellmouth.
Giles hides this from
Buffy, but she overhears him talking to Angel
about it in the library. They argue and Buffy
quits as the Slayer.
Willow has been persuaded
by Cordelia to help set up the sound system for
the May Queen dance at the Bronze. When they find
that the boys who were supposed to be helping
hadn't turned up, they go to the school to find
them. When they do find them they get quite a
shock, they have all been massacred, by vampires.
Willow is distraught by what she saw, saying the
vampires had 'made that place their own'. Buffy
decides not to quit after all and goes to the
library to get kitted out to face the Master.
Giles refuses to let her, saying he will go
himself. Buffy knocks him out, takes the cross
bow and heads off into the night.
The Annointed One, a boy,
leads her into the Master's lair. The Master
sneeks up on her and she is unable to fight him.
He bites her neck, and she falls face first into
a pool. The master leaves the lair to head
above.....
The others have learned of
the prophecy, and Xander is not prepared to sit
around and do nothing, declaring 'calm maybe okay
for Locutus of Borg, but I'm freaked out and
intend to stay that way'. He promptly heads out
of the library and goes in search of Angel. He
manages to persuade Angel to show him where the
Master's lair is so that they can rescue Buffy.
They arrive moments after Buffy falls into the
water and Angel drags her out, declaring she is
dead. Xander won't accept this and gives her
mouth to mouth ressucitation. Buffy takes a
breath, coughs out some water, and comes round.
With a new found energy
Buffy gets to her feet and heads above with the
others.
Willow and Miss Calender
head out of the school, only to find the undead
heading their way. Just as they think there is no
escape a car drives through the crowd to them.
Cordelia enquires whats going on, and Willow and
Miss Calender get in the car and instruct her to
head for the library. She promptly agrees and
drives her car through the school to the library
doors, where they make a run for it into the
library. With Giles help they move furniture in
front of the door, but others start to come
through the stacks. Willow and Miss Calender rush
up to the stacks and block the doors there. Just
when they think things can't get much worse, the
floor starts to open up and tendrals creep out,
followed by a monster, the Hellmouth. A tendral
wraps around Willow's leg and starts to pull her
towards the snapping voracious Hellmouth. She
screams for help, Miss Calender tries to hold her
back, and Giles attacks the Hellmouth with an
axe, only to be knocked away....
Buffy heads to the roof of
the school where the Master is stood surveying
the world he intends to destroy. He is shocked to
see her. They exchange comments, Buffy making
jokes about his 'raspberry mouth'. They fight,
and Buffy manages to knock the Master through the
skylight above the library, he falls onto the
jagged edge of a broken table. The Master
disintigrates to ash, leaving just a skeleton.
The Hellmouth disappears.
Angel and Xander enter the
library with Buffy as the others gather
themselves. They all decide to go to the party at
the Bronze, turn and exit the library........
