Good show at developing Xander's monarchy/general type leadership ability and charisma... despite being barely 17, I would imagine.

Good demonstration of strategy in battle and leadership that is followed.

This scene of Xander calling Kendra and Mr. Zabuto is something we probably should have seen in the series.

Awesome story. Tho Frankly I think you went to lightly on Buffy and Giles. 1. she slept with those she was suppose to slay 2. Giles should have stopped it no matter what. He was a walking corspe. Gross. necro much?

But great story. I look forward to reading the next part. thanks.

Smashing story! Very good characterizations (I started to get annoyed with Jack Crow myself.) While its not easy to integrate the legend of Dracula with the vampires of BTVS, I think you've done an excellent job. You explained what and who they are so that those of us unfamiliar with the Anime could still grasp the story. Thank you and now on to the sequel.

Sequel???? Can you post a link to it on here and let us know?
I really really don't want to miss it.

Actually this is the first part of a trilogy as I have mentioned before in responses to other reviews, the sequel will be called Portals and Dimensions so keep an eye out for it. I am pleased you have enjoyed the tale so far, more to come soon (Razial)

you are telling an excellent tale. not usually a xander fan, but very glad i took the time to taste this very good read, thank you.

Just can't escape the meddling old folks. Another well written chapter, thanks.

I really enjoyed working on this fic, tx for sharing and now I am off to prepare the 1st ch of the sequel *g*

I love this chapter. This last part has me wondering if something was done to Giles to make him more compliant to what Buffy wanted to do. I am eagerly awaiting the next installment to this wonderful story.

Giles has fallen victim to that all-too-human failing of blaming others for his own mistakes. Next time it may cost his life, Buffy's, or one of the others.

Thanks for the update. Glad that Buffy has to stay there. Giles really needs to get his head outta his A-hole! Even in the series he let Buffy get away with too much stuff.
Are you gonna have Giles finally realize that HE is part of the reason she is so messed up, instead of blaming Xander? Janna and Xander are the only 2 that seem to really have Sunnydale in their best interests. Vat needs to get it through their heads that although Xander may not be "friends" with Buffy and the gang, he is STILL protective over them. So any killing of unwilling slayers will be over his dead body.
OK I think this is the longest review I have ever done, so I am getting offa here.

All your questions will be answered in the next two parts of the trilogy, there is a slow progression of change to this fic that is very important to it as a whole so keep reading. (Razial)

Love watching how this all develops.

A well written and interesting insight into the different organizations and their attitudes.

Hmmm Buff is gonna be in trouble! Hopefully Travers is overruled, and she has to stay there and correct her mistakes!
Can't wait for the next update.
