"Doc?" I called out, still grimacing at the armour, "You wouldn't happen to have anything... yknow... lighter around would you?"

"Centre rune, left hand," I shouted, carting some goodies out with Nicki. "That makes it fit perfect. Left of that makes it lighter, right matches it to something more useable. Use in that order."
"You sure?"
"Positive. Then you can tell our stalker friend to get his/her/its ass in here to help move the toys."

So i put on the bulky armour, and touched the runes as instructed. I felt my eyebrows flicker in appreciation- this was more like it. It fit perfectly, as Doc had said, and was no heavier than normal clothes. I smirked, even just imagining Josh's face when he saw how it fitted my curves, and wow, amazingly it didn't even make the classical 'clunking' noises.
"Nice." I murmured. I fitted the wooden Katana into a fitting for a scabard, and tried moving, testing the flexibility. "wicked cool." I laughed as i found i could move quite normally. "Right... lets see who this joker is." I stepped out of the back, and called out, "Hey! We know you're there, an' Doc says we could do with some help with these boxes!"
"Subtle." Doc commented, sticking his head out. I grinned at him, an waited.

'Gee, do you think they're trying to get our attention?' Xander sarcastically asked the others.
'Are they in danger? Is she in danger?' Buffy asked Tara and Willow.
'No,' both witches replied together. 'The only other one in the area besides us and them is the one calledRogue Slayer and she's much closer to them than we are,' Tara further explained.
'We stay here,' Buffy decided, and the others agreed.

When Rogure sauntered out towards me, i raised an eyebrow,
"Huh. Ok then..." I said, squinting out into the night.
"What?" She asked.
"I... theres someone else out there... someone way powerful..."
"Good, bad?"
"Good... i think."

I rolled my eyes at the back Sword driver currently giving me instructions.
"Maya, Rogue, come and help Nicki," I said.
"How did you...?"
"Later," I said, walking past them. I made my way up the fire escape to the edge of the building and looked directly at the spot indicated, despite not seeing anything. "Now, you can either show yourself and help get stuff off, because i am in a really foul mood right now."

'I hate to ruin your foul mood even more D, but I have a really bad feeling that there is something...' I paused for the right word 'Something... Schizophrenic?'
Maya nodded in agreement
'It's hard to describe...'
'But I think we have more than one visitor?' I added thoughtfully

X was silent. Even if someone were standing right next to her they wouldn't have known she was there.
"Did anybody else forget that this Slayer is psychic?" Anya asked.
X remained silent, but Anya, in her little corner, smirked just a little bit more confident.

"Five friends," I muttered. "Right. Okay, whoever you are. I'm only waiting a little bit longer, then we are leaving you here. Count of three. One... two..." at that moment, I triggered my Saber's magic null ability, nulifying our visitors cloak. A strange young woman appeared in fron of me. "Hi there. You got a name?"

Buffy and Xander were all for knocking them all out in five seconds flat, giving at least the Slayer time to react and not feel bad about being knocked out. Willow and Tara were for calmly and rationally explaining things through and hoping for the best. Anya just wanted to do the option that wouldn't get them killed or shot at.
X finally sighed and rolled her eyes, accepting the compromise. "I knew I shouldn't have underestimated you, and those damn Soul Swords are more trouble than they're worth," she snorted.
"Who are you?" Rogue asked, untrusting.
X just shrugged. "I'm a friend, and you can trust in that. Name is X, just the letter, no weird spellings or anything. And by the way, you forgot to press the run on the far right," X told Maya with a small grin.
Confused, but figuring she had forgotten, she went ahead and pressed the mentioned rune. She gasped as a tingle ran through the entire armor, highlighted by the fact that it went from form-fitting to down right obscene, in Maya's opinion, by making it look like she just had the armor painted on her skin with plastic pieces glued on in certain places.
The two parts lesbian, one part male, two part sex-crazed females, one of which was bi-sexual, entity just stared and soaked up the image.
"Much better," X grinned.

"Great." I said, looking down at myself, "Now i feel like a cartoon character." I looked over at 'X', who was grinning worryingly. I shook my head, unable to get over how familiar she was, especially... I gasped, stepping forward, "Oh my goddess... Willow?"

X winced, but nodded while answering, "Partially."
She brushed back one of her rainbow bangs over her left ear and sighed. "This is gonna take a while, so here's the short version first and if we've got time later I'll go into the whole story."
X moved around so everyone could see her equally and began to speak, "My name is X, just the letter X like I said. I'm from another dimension just so you know, so don't worry about the people you know. But I am a composite creature made up of five different souls. Xander Harris, Buffy Summers, Willow Rosenberg, and Tara McClay and Anya Jenkins. Short story version; spell gone wrong trying to heal Buffy and Xander from mortal wounds fused the five souls into one, re-made body. Me. I have Slayer powers, the knowledge and experience of two souls travelling the Ghost Roads, the powers of two compatible and Powerful witches, and the heart of Xander Harris. Not to mention the libido, so sorry about that Maya."
"How'd you know my name?" the psychic Slayer demanded.
<Tara was empathic, and along with Willow's telepathy and mind-manipulation abilities, it's really not hard to get past even your impressive mental abilities. However staying out from their notice is apparently harder than I thought,> Maya heard in her mind.
X just calmly smiled at her and then walked over to Doc and held out her arm.
With little ceremony or question, he pulled out his fully powered Soul Sword and made a shallow cut with it on her arm. The wound instantly healed, but Doc nodded and told the others, "She's telling the truth, and she *is* on our side. Now, let's pack up and move out. We've only got a few more hours before sundown."

"That is too wiggy." I murmured, looking X up and down. "You in town for a while? I might have to call Willow... and Faith would probably find it amusing..."
X shifted oddly, and i frowned, but the moment passed, and i nodded to Doc, "Ok, lets move out. Oh, and for the record, just so you all know, I get to kill Joshua if he makes any lude comments, k?" I said gesturing to my armour.

"As the big brother figure, I reserve all rights to maim, hurt or otherwise humiliate anyone who harms my little sisters," I said seriously as we all loaded into the van. "Oh, and Maya?"
"Yeah?"
"The crossbow's in the box closest to you. Ammo's under it. X? Knowing some of the Scoobies history, rocket launcher in the box behind it. Any questions?"

"Hm... ok, you can help." I conceded, blushing a little at the 'big brother figure' comment- it had been a long time since i had someone like that, and i was touched. "Ooh, Crossbow, crossbow, I like crossbows..." I sang as i picked it up. X raised an eyebrow. "Well i do." I pouted. then i shrugged, "But still loving the Katana the best." I tapped the gorgeous wooden sword.
