Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 8 (Motion Comic)

The world has changed, but even with hundreds of new slayers working together in squads across the globe, Buffy Summers still has her own demons to face. And, after Buffy's squad takes on a trio of big uglies, Buffy is left to ponder the meaning of a mysterious symbol found on one of the victims' bodies. Later, the homesick Buffy, now based in Scotland, pays a visit to the giant-sized Dawn, only discover that Dawn's problems have only gotten bigger. Meanwhile, government forces led by General Voll unearth a frightening discovery that could spell deep trouble for Buffy and her squad.

As Giles, Buffy, and Andrew continue to train neophyte slayers in various locations, teamwork gets encouraged, and Lando Calrissian's fashion sense gets slammed. Meanwhile, Xander posits an interesting theory about Dawn's giant size. Elsewhere, harboring a dark secret, General Voll moves forward with his plan and dispatches Amy Madison to destroy Buffy. Amy places Buffy under a sleeping spell, and only the kiss of true love will wake her. Meanwhile, Buffy, lingering in a nightmarish dreamspace, is visited by a mysterious stranger. Finally, as Amy's legions of undead lay siege to the slayers' Scottish stronghold, a familiar face appears to take them on.

With Buffy still under a mystical sleeping spell, Ethan Rayne, a chaos-worshiping wannabe sorcerer, visits her dreamspace and helps her to navigate the bizarre terrain. Meanwhile, outside, Willow and Amy face off in a magical duel, where Willow gets an assist in capturing Amy. As Amy is being held captive, Buffy is awakened by a kiss from her true love. Elsewhere, Giles, still investigating the mysterious symbol, seeks information from an unlikely source. And, back at headquarters, Buffy and Willow play catch-up. Finally, Amy springs a trap and makes a dramatic escape, taking Willow with her and leaving Buffy fuming.

Being held captive, and with her powers being siphoned, Willow is slowly mutilated by the vengeful—and skinless—Warren Mears. Meanwhile, unaware that General Voll is planning an atomic-strength ambush, Buffy's team works to open a portal in order to find and rescue Willow. Then, while Willow seeks refuge on another plane among a band of strange, elemental beings, Buffy and Satsu go on the attack, laying waste to General Voll's troops and rescuing Willow from Warren's diabolical clutches. Finally, as Buffy confronts Voll face to face, he announces the coming of the apocalyptic "Twilight," and makes an ominous declaration of war.

One of Buffy's decoy doubles recalls how she was called upon and trained to be a slayer. The heroic young woman's undercover assignment takes her deep underground, where she leads a stand against Yamanh and his demonic horde.

Faith is approached by Giles with a dangerous assignment—to pose as a British aristocrat in order to assassinate a wealthy, rogue slayer under the tutelage of an Irish warlock. Meanwhile, Buffy frets about the coming of Twilight and the meaning of an ominous dream.

Posing as a viscount's daughter, Faith infiltrates Lady Genevieve's gala and is attacked by Roden's gargoyle security team. Elsewhere, Willow offers to Dawn with her plus-sized problem and is called upon to upgrade the castle's defense system. Finally, after bonding with Faith, Genevieve reveals her evil plan.

As Giles tries hopelessly to contact Faith, Lady Genevieve explains her rationale for wanting to assassinate Buffy. Buffy is unwittingly teleported to Genevieve's estate, where the two slayers engage in deadly combat, until the internally-conflicted Faith intervenes.

As Faith and Genevieve battle to the death, Buffy confronts Giles about Faith's assignment. Giles goes to Faith's aid, and once Faith's mission is completed, the two agree to continue their tentative alliance. Elsewhere, a dark rendezvous heralds the onset of Twilight.

After a flight of fantasy, Buffy and Willow enter the demonic lair of Sephrilian, a dangerous realm of unstable reality where the friends' darkest secrets, both past and future, are revealed. Elsewhere, Dawn reveals an embarrassing secret of her own to Xander.

While the rest of the girls party, Buffy and Xander discuss the matter of a rogue slayer. Later, Buffy and Satsu discuss affairs of the heart as they take on a nest of vampires. And, when Twilight attacks, an epic brawl leaves Buffy reeling and questioning her own moral certainty.

Buffy and Satsu's amorous encounter is rudely interrupted when a gang of transmogrifying Japanese vampires storms the castle and steals Buffy's scythe. Later, Xander seeks the help of an old friend.

Realizing that the Japanese vampires have stolen his secrets, Dracula agrees to help Xander stop them. And, as Buffy's crew prepares to go to war, a Japanese slayer named Aiko tracks the vampires, with disastrous results.

After a gruesome welcome to Tokyo, Buffy and Willow capture one of the Japanese vampires and learn of a sinister plan to revert all slayers into ordinary humans. Then, while Dawn goes "Godzilla" all over the streets of Tokyo, Buffy's team stumbles into Toro's trap.

After the shocking death of one of their own, Buffy and her team take on Toro's army of vampires. And, while Dawn slugs it out with her own mechanized doppelganger, Dracula and Willow team up to stop Toro and his diabolical spell. Finally, as Xander pays his last respects to a lost loved one, Buffy and Satsu share a warm goodbye.

As Buffy and Willow head to New York on a cryptic mission involving Buffy's scythe, Twilight, Warren, and Amy launch a deadly attack on the slayers' castle.  Meanwhile, Xander attempts to comfort Dawn, who has now been transformed into a centaur.  Finally, Buffy herself is attacked by an unknown assailant.

Having been transported into the future, Buffy joins forces with Melaka Fray, a fellow-slayer whose twin brother, Harth, is a vampire contemplating an evil plan.  Meanwhile, back in the present, Xander and Dawn struggle to defend the castle.

While Willow seeks otherworldly help in bringing Buffy back from the future, Xander and Dawn flee deep into the woods, where they encounter a strange race of tree-like forest souls.  Elsewhere, in the future, after taking on a horde of vampires, Fray strikes a deal with Dark Willow.

Xander and Dawn lead an army of wood creatures into battle against Warren and Amy's minions.  And, with a potentially cataclysmic temporal rift about to open, Buffy must escape from Dark Willow and defeat Fray in order to return to the present and save the world.
