"Yeah Will, your the most important thing in stopping this dragon, and you get to do magic. And think if you stuff up, you'll be the reason for the death of this entire town, maybe event the whole of California, or the entire Western Hemisphere. No pressure at all"
Giles just releases a sigh and puts his head into his hands. "For Gods sake Xander..." Giles didn't finish, there was no point. Instead he just looked through some other books.
"Hey, I've seen this sword before. In the museum across town." He looked at everyone with a look that said 'I can't believe I said that'. "My mum made me go!"
Giles quickly gets out of his book daze and stares at Xander curiously. "Yes....a deadly magic sword used for slaying mystical creatures would be on display in a museum...Good eye Xander." Giles fixes his glasses and ignores Xander.

"It's true! I can prove it." He made his way over to the laptop on the desk. "Hey Will, can you get a list of the inventory at the musuem on this thing?" He points at the laptop. "Cause I think, no I know that I've seen this thing before. I read the description about the thing, it said something about being found inpaled in this mummy that was discovered in Eygpt or something. Wow it feels weird being the smart one."

"Well mystics and Egyptians do tie in together...we may be onto something." Giles hurries into his books, looking up Egyptian weaponry." This....could be bad...It says here that drawing the power out of mystical swords can bring forth severe side effects, such as summoning."

Buffy laughed before she could help herself as Xander said it felt weird him being the smart one. However, her laughter stopped short when Giles spoke.
"Side effects? How bad are these side effects? Like, by severe do you mean a little severe or you're-going-to-die severe?" She gave Giles a confident look, even though she was feeling worried and nervous inside. What if they couldn't get this sword and defeat the dragon? They couldn't just ignore it...
Buffy looked over to Xander. "If you're a hundred percent sure that it is there, maybe we should go check it out?" Now she returned her gaze to Giles, asking him too if that would be a good idea.

Giles fixes up his glasses, and looks at Buffy. "If this magic is released...there is a possibility it could also summon some egyptian demons, which were banished hundreds of thousands of years ago. So yes...it is very concerning."
If you're a hundred percent sure that it is there, maybe we should go check it out?"
"Yes...yess I think that could be worth a shot,here's hoping there are some kind of clues in the museum. We must sneak in though."

willow stayed quiet, looking at the image on the page before her, while they talked about the location of the sword, why did everything have to be so convenient for them, she wanted a bit more time sometimes to get used to ideas. When Giles mentioned the possible release of Egyptian demons, she got up and went to look out a dusty window into the courtyard nearby.
"So I may not only screw this up and have Buffy killed by a dragon but I also may release thousands of Egyptian demons into Sunnydale." she said slowly, she put her head in one of her hands and pinched the bridge of her nose, the thing with Desmond had really thrown her, she was used to her magic being able to fix everything, but it hadn't last time so who said it would this time?

Buffy nodded at Giles approval. "Sneaking... it's what we do best." She couldn't help but look proud of that fact. She then watched as Willow got up and walked over to a window. She listened to what her best friend was saying with a breaking heart. Willow was hardly ever depressed and it hurt Buffy to see her like that. Buffy rose and approached Willow.
"Will, if you don't do this spell, we're all doomed anyway so no matter if you stuff up, you'll at least be doing something to help." She placed a hand on Willow's shoulder. "You can't let what happened with Desmond affect you. You're the greatest witch I know and I have complete faith in you." Buffy smiled sincerely, and she was horrified to find that she was actually getting teary. She just hoped Willow believed her because every word she just said was true.

Xander approached Buffy and Willow, Buffy was in tears, he empthasized for the both of them. He placed his arms around both of them and pulled them into a hug. Lighting flashed outside, it blinded him. Rain began falling, it was raining heavy. The drops hit the window hard, each drop started dancing, Xander stared at them blankly, they were hypnotic.
He was starting to doubt if they could defeat this dragon. Buffy's in tears, Willow is losing confidence by the minute, Faith's ran away, and God knows where Angel is. It started to feel like the whole town was doomed.
No it's not! He thought, trying to be optimistic. He let go of them and grabbed Willow by the shoulders and looked her in the eyes, "Willow, your one hell of a witch! Your one of the most powerful beings on this planet, If you can't do it, then no one can. Now get over there and prepare for the spell." He turned to Buffy, "Now you! Wipe those tears then lets go steal ourselves a sword" he smirks.
He walked over the weapons cabinet, in case they needed somethings for when they break into the museum. He placed a handful of weapons on the table. "Oh Willow. Willow, Willow, shes our witch, if she can't do it, NO ONE CAN!" Xander cheered.

Willow didn't look up when Buffy touched her shoulder, or when she spoke, it HAD affected her and she felt all the weaker for it. She eventually sighed and looked up again, but not at Buffy, out the window, she couldn't look her friend in the eye now, she closed her eyes, took a deep breath and said, "Well find some other witch who doesn't let things affect them then." She said, and without hesitation, she walked towards the library doors and out of them.

Angel stood in the balcony of the library, hands in his pockets of his black slacks. He heard some of the conversation. Something about a dragon and a spell. He quietly made his way down the stairs without out anyone noticing. He stopped by the the foot of them as everyone's attention was on Willow storming out.
"What's coming isn't going to be defeated by some spell." He interjected without warning, forgetting the the people in the library didn't know he was there. "Though you probably will need all the help you can get." He looked over at the door Willow stormed out of, knowing that part of her issue had to do with him and what happened with Desmond. He felt bad for that. Still gazing over at the door he added, "Someone released that dragon. And whoever did...their power is nothing to mess with."

Xander wasn't surprised by Angel's sudden appearence, he always showed when his mood suddenly turned to crap, but he's grown to like Angel more with his saving the day and Buffy at the bronze and his help in L.A, so he was here to help and Xander had to get over that.
"Someone released that dragon. And whoever did...their power is nothing to mess with."
"What do you mean someone? Someone like the master or someone bigger? Please say someone like the master."
This is getting annoying, we save the world from one psycho demon slash or God and then the very next weel we have to do the exact same thing. Can't the world just live in harmony for once, he thought.

"Someone released that dragon. And whoever did...their power is nothing to mess with."
Giles looks up sterny. "And one bet who would be crazy enough to release such a being into this existance....Ethan Rayne."
Giles walks over to the desk and takes his glasses off. "I should have known he would cause more mess after the incident wiht Mr.Trick..." Giles was very concerned. What could Ethan want in Sunnydale now? He has already caused three major upsets, why the huge event now?

"ETHAN RAYNE!" Xander shrieked.
"Why does it have to be him, why can't it be hyena possessed people or even a giant preying mantis. I can't deal with that freak, with his weird English accent". He glanced over to Giles "No offense."
"How do you know that its him?" his voice growing nervous, "and where did he get so much power?" He asked.

Giles looks up at Xander's English remark. "None taken...." Giles begins pacing around the library. "Ethan is always up to no good...He was always interested in the dark arts, so it really doesn't suprise me that he bwould go this far. If I get my hands on him..."

Buffy sighed as Willow walked out... she much preferred happy Willow then defeated Willow. She whipped around to the new voice... the very familiar voice that she craved to hear most of the time, however, she didn't like the words that he spoke. For once she just wished Angel could come see them with good news instead of making the situation worse. Buffy couldn't speak as she gazed at Angel, happy yet annoyed to see him.
But when Giles said Ethan Rayne was behind this, she snapped out of it. However as confident Giles sounded, doubt was in her mind. "Somehow I don't think Ethan would be behind a dragon, would he?" Buffy turned her attention back to Angel and gave him a slight glare. "Seeing as you seem to know all the info, why not tell us who or what exactly let this thing loose instead of having to be all mysterious and secretive about it?"
It was obvious Buffy wasn't happy with the vampire before them.
