'The Reckoning' - Part 1: 'One Year Later' by Christos Gage Story by Joss Whedon and Christos Gage

A year has passed since rogue government forces tried to enslave magical beings and steal their powers. For the Scooby gang, life has been both quiet and eventful: Buffy and Spike have split up amicably (ish); Xander and Dawn have a daughter, Joyce; Giles is a grown-up again (thank goodness); and Willow is running a centre for Wiccans and Slayers. A happy get together is interrupted by Angel and Illyria (now a couple), with news that Wolfram & Hart are coordinating an attack on Willow and the Slayers working for her, using intel from Harth, vampire from the future and twin of 23rd Century Slayer, Fray. Using Illyria’s power and Dawn’s portals, Buffy and the gang take the fight to the future – only to discover they have waked straight into a trap. Then things get really strange…
