I like where this is heading, I think. Of course, it could be a trap.

Hi! I read this on Xanderzone and I really hope seeing this here means your working on this because I think it's a great story.

He's not a little kid anymore and he's seen the movies and played the games. Don't know why he's acting like a virgin with no life experience. One thing to peek but when a woman doesn't care if you look, you look.

Are you a practitioner of Aikido? I'm sorry for this if you are, but I gotta be honest, I don't think an Aikido master like the way you described would ever hurt his beginner-level dummy the way you described Xander being hurt during training. And Randori, multiple opponent fighting/sparring, would involve simply redirecting away any aggressors that block your path as you head away from the mob of enemies. No sane Aikido practitioner would ever engage a pack of enemies for more than three seconds, not even to save a victim. Hardly enough time to dust two vamps, let alone a pack. S/he would, instead, lure the pack away from the victim, running all the while her/himself.

I'm not saying this to be an asshole or anything. Those parts just bugged me a bit, since that's the way I was taught to use my own Aikido training, and I've been a practitioner for around ten years now, and a black belt for four.

Interesting story so far. Keep up the good work.

Quite the remarkable story you have here, I must say I enjoy the pace you have set so far. Please keep up the good work.

Love this! Very happy to see an update.

I like your story so far.

About the direction you are going, you seem to be nuanced enough about the group, so I have realistic hope that is fighting stays realistic (even with traning less then Buffy who has training+speed+experience)

About why he never had training on the show, (aside from making him no longer the normal guy), there was not much time: 8 hours work+8hours sleep+3 hours patrol+2 hours date with Anya+2 hours movies to quip from+1hour dinner already makes 24 hours.
Becoming a top athlete takes multiple hours training every day.

Delicious. Except for the beans on toast. And I can say that with a straight face having grown up on SOS.

♫♥I look forward to reading what happens next in your story♥♪

WOW to think that you can get to where you can't get up that your muscles would freeze up like that after a fight is well it's actually kind of funny.

Why do I think she is going to show him the movie version of Buffy?

are you going to continue this story further than the chapters on xanderzone

It will pass them yes. I'm also doing some re-writing of the chapters as I go.

Let's see... Aikido from a highly skilled master of the Art... Check

Picking Bryce's brains for ideas and toys for surveillance... Check, even if he hasn't realized it yet...

Lara about to whip up some high test firepower for Xander Training Session 2: Things To Go Boom!.. Looks like we're closing in on it. Seriously, with all the weaponry she has available, I'm betting she's either discovered, commissioned, or has been trained on things to kill the Night Bumpers already, since you've already she she's encountered vampires, plus that temple guardian she and Xander ran into during their initial introduction...

I'm thinking that being able to reach out and touch something from 500+ meters is better than going toe to toe with a Big Bad if you absolutely don't have to.

Very interesting thus far. This story has the capability of being very good to epic. Keep up the good work.
