"My name is Bianca, I was a potential on the front lines in Sunnydale. I became a slayer. After training for months with Faith and Robin, I became a trainer,a teacher.

I took in three charges of my own to train. With funds from Mr Giles and The New Watcher's Council I purchased a warehouse in Florida. It wasn't until shortly after we found that the town of Jolten, Florida was another Hellmouth, like the one in Cleveland, Ohio.

The first of the girls is Nika, from Norway. She was found by Willow and Kennedy fighting off vampires, She was sent to me to train. Then there is Paige, from London. She came with me from Faith and Robin's. Last but not least is Mona, she came from San Diego. We are all slayers"

Jolten, Florida:

A lone girl turned into a dark alley, she was dressed semi-casual and shuddered despite the warm air. The girl sauntered down the alley feeling the walls as she walked to get a good feel of where she was going. The only guide the girl had was the streetlight on the sidewalk on the other side o fthe ally.

A dark silhouette appeared behind the girl. She heard it, her eyes widened as she came to the realization that someone, or something was behind her. Quickly the girl spun around to see the snarling face of a vampire.

The vampire's snarling grin suddenly changed, he grimaced in pain for a moment, and then a look of utter shock spread across his face. The vampire exploded.

As the dust cleared it revealed the smiling face of a girl, no more than 20 years old. Her hair was blonde an dcut just above her shoulders and she wore a loose fitting shirt which hung over her green army pants. In her hand she clutched a wooden stake.

" 'ello Nika, thought you could use a l'il help."The girl said in a cockney accent.

The other girl, Nika, replied angrily "He was my kill Paige, you should have let me get him!"

"With what? That cross around your neck!?"Paige scoffed.

Nika reached down and pulled up her pant leg on her left and revealed a wooden stake strapped to her leg. Nika jeered at Paige in annoyance.

"Sorry Nika, "Paige rolled her eyes. "look, the sun is coming up soon, want to walk back together?"

"Whatever, but tomorrow I come patrolling with you."

"Well, I've never agreed with your so-called methods." Paige joked.

"Not all of us go in all gung-ho like you."

"Well the whole damsel act is cliche."

Nika sneered and quickened her pace.

At The Warehouse:

It Wasn't too glamorous, but it was home, they had almost completely transformed it. Dividers were built to divide it into different rooms. Hardwood Floors were polished and shined. The warehouse was divided into a top floor and a bottom floor. The top was all one flat loft-like space used to train. The bottom floor was used for living, bedrooms, bathroom, kitchen and living area.

Upstair was where the other two members of the group were training. Mona had only been taken in a month prior and Bianca wanted to train her a bit longer before she would allow her to go patrolling.

"I just don't get it... I've been a slayer as long as you have." Mona said as she alternated punches between arms as Bianca held up a punchign bag. "I've killed vampires before, I was even attacked by those freaks with no eyes."

"But you weren't properly trained, Mona."

"Hey, I can hold my own, when those blind guys attacked I managed to get away."

"Not without consequence however..." Bianca said as her eyes moved to the young girl's arm where a scar was clearly visible.

"I survived didn't I? It's not like you don't have battle scars of your own."

Bianca stopped, she let go of the punching bag and ran her fingers over her scars on her face, on her cheek was the worst one.

"You can't imagine what it was like Mona... The screaming, the death down there.. Those things were... You know, when I went to Sunnydale, I made friends in that house and I saw them die... Molly, Amanda. But I know... I know they died for the good fight... I think that they knew the moment they died that they died fighters."

"I'm sorry Bianca, I never..." Mona started.

Mona was interupted by the noise of the elevator as it rose up to their level. Paige and Nika emerged laughing and smiling.

"Whoa... is it depressing in here or is it just me?" Paige said as she looked at the faces of Bianca and Mona.

"I'm going to bed." Bianca said and walked quickly to the elevator.

As the elevator lowered Paige turned to Mona.

"Tomorrow night... you get initiated."

Cover Story Bar-
Below Jolten, Florida

A bustling bar, decorated, like an Irish pub buzzed with the moans, and grunts of demons, vampires and of course the demon groupies, the air smelled of blood and urine. The music of Billy Idol filled the air. Through the crowd a massive dark figure pushed his way through the crowd and made his way up to the bar.

The figure slammed hsi fist down on the counter causing the bartender to immediately jump and walk over to his customer. The bartender is a short, pathetic excuse for a human. Hair greased back and bowling shirt open exposing a white muscle shirt.

"What can I do you for?" The bartender asked.

"I need information." The figure said in a deep raspy voice.

"Willy, don't do business for nuttin'" The bartender told the figure.

"I don't think you understand human." The figure said louder and more intimedating than before.

"No buddy, I don't think you get it. Willy don't Work for free." The bartender insisted.

The figure puleld his hood back reveling his face to the man.

"But maybe, just this once, I'll do you a favor... On account of you..."Willy coughed."good looks. What do you need."

"Slayers, how many and where." The figure demanded.

"Now I hear from my sources there are three of 'em, they live in some warehouse... over on Leto Street."

The figure snickered and walked away.

"Reccomend me to your friends!" Willy called after the figure as it sauntered out of the bar.

The Warehouse:

The sun rose breathing life into the sleeping town. Bianca lay awake stretched across her bed. Her thoughts we interupted by a knock at her door.

"Come in." Bianca called

Paige opened the door and appeared in the door frame.

"Morning, jus' thought I'd check in on you."

"Thanks, but I'm fine."

"Why'd you go stormin' off last night?"

"Just something Mona said."

"Right then... Nika got breakfast ready."

"See you in a minute."

"Sure." Paige said and closed the door.

Paige joined Nika in the kitchen.

"Mona still training?" Paige asked.

"Yeah, she's excited about tonight I guess."

"Hey maybe we shouldn't take her out... Bianca's been weird lately." Paige said and gazed at her feet.

"Yeah, I've noticed, what's with the drama queen act..." Nika paused for a second as Paige looked wide eyed over her shoulder. Bianca was standing behind her. "ress... I mean Lindsey Lohan complete slut.. couldn't act to save her life... hey look, eggs!"

"So, Hi Bianca." Paige quietly said and turned her head away.

The door of the warehouse burst open and in walked the figure from the bar.

"What the HELL!" Paige yelled.

"Nika GET SOME WEAPONS NOW!" Bianca screamed.

Nika bolted towards her room and crashed through the door. The girl threw open a large wooden chest and grabbed a large axe in one hand and a crossbow in the other, then shoved a sword-like object into the pant leg of her pajamas, then Nika ran to join the other slayers.

Nika threw the axe to Paige and the crossbow to Bianca.

"Let's kick some ass." Paige said and ran to attack.

The figure was cloaked and as Paige charged it swung its hand and sent her flying into a wall.

Upstairs Mona punched the punching bag while the sounds of The Clash blared in her ears. Faintly in the background she heard a bang, she took her earphones out and listened carefully. Another bang sounded. Mona ran to the elevator to go downstairs. The elevator started and then halfway down stopped.

"What was that" The figure demanded as he held Bianca up in the air by the neck.

"Nothing, it's an old building..."she choked out. "it does that all the time."

The figure threw Bianca to the floor and she was knocked unconscious.

Mona looked out of the wooden doors of the elevator and the figure picked up the limp bodies of the slayers and threw them over his shoulders. The figure walked out of the warehouse and into the sunlight. But then it disappeared, the figure and the slayers.

Mona kicked the wooden doors out and slid out of the elevator onto the floor. Just after she regained her ground the elevator lowered behind her.

"You've got to be kidding." Mona groaned.

The slayer made her way through the bits of smashed chairs and debris left from the fight and was just in awe of the destruction. The thing took on and more or less won against three slayers.

If she was going to find this thing she needed to be ready, walking to her room she got herself dressed. Red and black striped shirt and a black plaid school-uniform style skirt. Then she made her way to her bed and lowered herself to the ground, she reached under the bed and pulled out a large silver sword. The girl stuck it under her belt and made her way back into the destruction.

"If I'm gonna track this guy I'm gonna need some sort of clue.. to his where...a...bouts." Mona looked down at her feet and stared at a package of matches laying there. "Funny how these things always work themselves out."

Mona bent over and picked up the matchbook. It read "Cover Story- Demon Bar... Tell 'em Willy sent you."
