It may have just been a taste of things to come, but it was a really good taste. I'm looking forward to this even more than I was before.

Thanks for reviewing. ;-)

Currently working on the chapters that happen between the current last one, and this preview, and hope to have them done soon.

Actually, this is more the MV-22 Osprey (planned replacement for the Combat Talon and Sea Stallion/SuperStallion for both the Marines and Air Force); the Combat Talon is up for replacement because the Osprey can go where the Combat Talon (or even a Sea Stallion/Super Stallion) cannot, and has the carry capacity of the C-130

Thanks for the correction, it's been noted in the main draft.

Great. Thanks

Glad you enjoyed it. ;-)

Great preview. Keep up the good work.

Thanks. Hopefully, you'll see the full chapter in the near future.

A well written scene setter that maintains the canon characters mannerisms.

Thanks. Glad you enjoyed the excerpts.

Nice choice for code names.

Looks like Cordy finally found some use for her glowy power.

Does Spike's uniform help protect him from the sun? Hard to be certain since it's night and raining at the moment.

Thanks. More will be revealed about everyone's current powers, skills and equipment in the next couple chapters.

dont know who nightstalker is, i suspect but am not certain

All of the people shown are current members of the Scooby Gang, so by the process of elimination, it should be easy to figure out who Nightstalker is.

Not very bad at all. Couple of things - first, the V-22 Osprey is not a helicopter. it's a VTOL tilt-wing aircraft. the other is, unless you're playing it for laughs, don't have Xander have a huge weapon to tote around. I'll admit that, if I read your first fic (which I may have, it sounds vaguely familiar), I've forgotten the particulars, but even if you've given Xander powers, having to start and stop a BFG in order to aim it correctly would be an arduous task. It's obviously your fic, and I honestly don't know if you've powered Xander up beyond the Slayers, but if you haven't, there's a reason that they carry the lightest weapons that will get the job done. As I said, it's your 'verse and fic, and the other elements are good.

Yeah, you're right about the V-22. Brain fart. ;-(

And as far as Xander is concerned, each of the team has a particular role to play, and his is the equivalent of artillery, at least in the initial stage of any attack - hence the BFG. The Scoobies are now more equivalent to an elite military unit, and are equipped similarly, to a fair extent, which is why everyone was described as having different weapons.

And yes, Xander does have powers now, along the lines of the Marvel Ultimate Universe Captain America, but he's not a Marty Stu. Xander's abilities are similar to those of a Slayer's, but somewhat different, and he's not anywhere near a Superman-analogue.
