Buffy: Sounds good.
Buffy: Wait a second. Something feels wrong.
Becky: The original vampire!
[ He casts a spell, and uses the smartphone to locate him. ]
Oz: He's in a nearby city, in a building and alone.
[ He opens a portal. The gang enters,
they spot Mark the vampire. ]
Mark: No, go away now! Run!
Cliff: [In Latin] Bring my friends and me to sanctuary.
[ They all disappear including Mark the vampire and reappear outside. Shortly afterwards they hear and see the roof of the floor where they found Mark crumbling. ]
[ Willow looks around, sees Mark and casts a spell to keep him still. ]
Cliff: Good timing on my part - now I’ll need to recharge this Mana amulet.
Faith: Good call, Cliff! You’ve got a lot of potential too.
General Thompson: Oh! Mark Raymond here used to be a contractor for us back when the Q Continuum of the Selinaverse expanded into our own world, which we’ll now call the Beckyverse [cut to Becky - she is blushing] and experimented with a duplicator that they had given us when he became a vampire, stole it, and caused all this trouble.
Willow: So we’ll have to restore his soul, and then convert him back into a human? God! That will require some powerful spells and be very time consuming. I’ll have to research it.
Enyos: It will take us about two hours.
Willow: Enyos! Nice to see you again! [they hug.]
[ Enyos also hugs Buffy and shakes the hands of some of the men. ]
Willow: Two hours? Really? How?
Enyos: Well, we got better with it due to practice. See: following the restoration of Angel here, we figured out we can do the same with other vampires and made a big business out of it.
Willow: So how much will all this cost?
Enyos: Special offer for you today at half the price: zero dollars.
Enyos: Yes! Our business model is different. First of all, we ask the transformed vampires to provide us with a subset of their income as benevolent humans - as much or as little as they want - as a token of their appreciation.
Enyos: And furthermore, we also use their stories of their lives as vampires as inspiration and fodder for our own franchise of vampire fiction. Some really sick stuff there, but they sell like hotcakes.
Willow: Lovely! That sounds like an exciting and innovative take on slaying.
Enyos: Oh, it certainly is. And we’re willing to share our knowledge and experience with you. For the right consulting price.
[ Meanwhile, they are already back in Sunnydale. ]
Becky: Awesome! Sounds really cool.
Buffy: Alright! Oz, Giles, you escort Mark to Enyos’ clan back in Europe, and learn as much as you can from them about it - we can negotiate a consulting price later on.
Buffy: The rest of us need to start the Sunnydale de-evacuation.
Snyder: Hey there, Buffy. I’m glad it all worked out in the end. We’re thinking of doing one of our famous “open commerce days” where shops and food and drinks outlets sell goods for as little or as much as the buyer is willing to pay. General, your men are welcome to join the party here as well.
General Thompson: Thank you, Mayor! We’d love that.
