'The Long Way Home' (Part I) by Joss Whedon

There used to be just one Slayer in the world: Buffy Summers; however, after the recent events in Sunnydale, there are now eighteen hundred – and almost five hundred of them are working in squads alongside Buffy, wiping out evil from the face of the Earth. While on a mission with one such team in Scotland, Buffy deals with an infestation of monsters in a church, and discovers a strange symbol carved into the chest of one of the creatures’ victims. Elsewhere, Xander, now acting as Buffy’s watcher, oversees his own team of Slayers from their monitoring station in a remote castle; also stuck here is Dawn, currently dealing with the gigantic repercussions of losing her virginity to a ‘Thricewise’. Meanwhile, back in Sunnydale, General Voll and his team of soldiers begin their investigation of the crater where the town once stood; they soon make an unexpected discovery – someone has survived the destruction of Sunnydale, and they want their revenge on Buffy…
