Buffy The Vampire Slayer

The First Evil taunts Buffy and her crew all year. Though incapable of corporeal form, the First has several agents simultaneously building a huge army and trying to kill the Slayer and her friends. Reason being, Buffy doesn't stay dead, and the First is basically sick of her thwarting the First's pawns (see also Glory, Adam, the Mayor, etc.) The First Evil's number one agent this time around is Caleb, an evil priest who really hates women. So let's get to it. Caleb and his boys have found an axe. Everyone calls it a scythe. Buffy finds out about it, and pulls an excaliber, literally stealing it from a chunk of rock. We find out the scythe has mystical energies, and that it is a slayer keepsake. Also note, this axe/scythe was featured in the comic book "Fray," about a Slayer in the future. In the series finale, Willow uses the scythe's mystical energy to imbue every "potential" slayer with the powers of a Slayer. They create an army. Meanwhile, the First has an army of Tarkatan... Toulakan... ...has anyone ever understood what they're called??? Anyway, they're super vampires. They're rabid and animalistic, and they scare other vampires. And there are thousands of them.

The two sides go to war, mostly beneath the newly rebuilt Sunnydale High in a huge cave. Lots of your favorite characters die. The ones you never really liked, however, live. Anyway, Angel showed up at the beginning of the episode with a shiny amulet which Spike - in his brand new nobility - decides he's going to wear during the big battle, despite the potential of it hurting him. During the battle, Spike's amulet channels the sun through his soul and it burns out the remaining uber-vamps. He and Buffy share a moment and he burns to dust after she escapes the cave. The town caves in on itself as the remaining scoobies and allies escape in a school bus. At the end, they all stand over the hole in the earth that is Sunnydale and ask Buffy what they're going to do next. The End. The comics take a huge turn, but keep in mind - Season Eight of Buffy starts a year after the tv show ended. It makes more sense to know that, since so much has changed.

Slayer is a thrash metal band, formed in 1981 in Huntington Park, California. They are known for their violent and satanic themes, and their fast, aggressive musical style.

It is a common misconception that Slayer is Nazi oriented, because many of their fans appear visually to be "skin-heads", but their lyrics do not promote the Nazi regime.

The group is Satanic. For example, in the song "The Antichrist", the lyrics include:

"Satan holds my future

Watch it unfold ".

However, the Satanism theme could be considered part of an image to promote the group as 'extreme'. Note that not all of the members are Satanists, as for example, Tom Araya has stated the following in an Interview:

"...Christ came and taught us about love, about doing unto others. That was his preach: Accept each other for who we are. Live peacefully, and love one another." When asked if he believed in God, replied "I believe in a supreme being, yeah. But He's an all-loving God."

Araya explained that he has a "really strong belief system," and Slayer's words and images will "never interfere with what I believe and how I feel.... People are not in good shape to where they have to question their own belief system because of a book or a story somebody wrote, or a Slayer song."

In fact, the only member that might be Satanic is Kerry King.
