Giles was preparing Buffy for the most evil yet "The Master". The Master's plan was to open the Hellmouth and reign on Earth, but he will need a lot to do it, but Buffy was on him. First, he tried to complete a harvest where other vampires will feed and every person they killed would make the Master stronger. Buffy had a plan for that so she rounded up her friends and Angel and prepared to take the other vampires out while the Master was waiting on his souls. Buffy fought the toughest one, which was the one to take souls for the Master, and staked him. The Master's plan was foiled. He knew he had to make another plan and soon. So, he gathered his vampires and came up with the plan to kell 5 people and among those 5 people, 1 will be chosen to bring forth the one that will set the Master free. So, his plan worked this time and among those 5 people a little boy was chosen and he started to prepare his plan.

The whole plan had been written for hundreds of years for what was to happen. The Master was suppose to feed off of Buffy and release himself to open the Hellmouth which was below the Sunnydale School Library. Giles had told Buffy her fate which had already been written for her to die. So, on that fateful night which happened to be the Spring Fling dance, she saw the chosen one and she knew what he wanted her to do. She was led to the Master and he was waiting on her. She wanted to fight but the Master already had his plan in tact. He was to bite her and let himself out to be free. Meanwhile, Giles, Xander, Willow, and Cordelia were in the school library trying to stope the Hellmouth from opening. Xander knew Buffy was facing the Master, so he wanted to save Buffy himself along with Angel's help. Xander told Angel to lead him to the Master but it was too late. Buffy had died.

Buffy had been bitten and the Master left her to drown. The Master had opened the Hellmouth which brought out a big beast with legs that was unleashed in the library. Everyone there in library was fighting to stay alive. Meanwhile, Xander and Angel was trying to get Buffy alive to face the Master again. Angel didn't have any breath in his body since he was a vampire, so Xander had to try to save her life. Xander performed CPR on Buffy but he had tried at least three times and she wasn't breathing. At the last second Buffy was revived. She was alive and strong. Buffy knew what she had to do and that was to kill the Master. She found the Master on teh rooftop of the library proud of what he had accomplished, but she was about to spoil his fun. She let him know she was alive by giving him a beatdown to the finish. She swung him over to fall below on a stake and the Master and the beast were defeated. She had beaten the fate to die and suffer and had saved the world.
