Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Chaos Bleeds (2003 Video Game)

Karen Strassman: Cassandra Rayne

Quotes 

• [everybody arrives in front of a fortress] 

  Ethan Rayne : It's here. The First. I can taste its power in the air.

  Cassandra Rayne : You... I sense something about you, some kinship. Who are you?

  Ethan Rayne : Ethan Rayne, madam. Decidedly *not* at your services.

  Willow Rosenberg : He's your great, great... something. A descendant.

  Cassandra Rayne : I can sense the dark magic in you, the chaos in your soul. I was a soldier of light, and this is what my bloodline has come to? You repulse me.

  Ethan Rayne : The feeling is entirely mutual. This isn't fair, you know. Technically I've won. The power I bargained for should be mine. But if you destroy the First...

  Cassandra Rayne : Silence dog. I would silence you myself if I were able.

  Spike : Here, let me get that for you.

  [Spike punches out Ethan] 

  Cassandra Rayne : My thanks, kind sir.

  [Cassandra then glares at the fortress] 

  Cassandra Rayne : I... I know this place. This is where I... this is where I died. But who are all of you?

  Buffy : We're trying to finish what you started, Cassandra. Trying to destroy the First. I'm Buffy Summers. The Slayer.

  Cassandra Rayne : A Slayer. This is good fortune. I am but a lost soul, and can no longer wield Hope's Dagger. But you are worthy Slayer. It shall be you.

  Willow Rosenberg : That... that's great and all, so, thanks. But where does Buffy find Hope's Dagger?

  Cassandra Rayne : Inside the fortress. It will still be there. Only one who is worthy may wield it.

  Faith : You don't gotta be virgin or anything, right? Cuz that could be a problem.

  Cassandra Rayne : No. Only one can go, and it should be a Champion of the Powers. There are no Champions present, but a Slayer will more than suffice. Buffy must go alone.

  Faith : Sucks to be you.

  Buffy : At times. Now, for instance.

  [Ethan's unconscience body disappears in a flash of light] 

  Willow Rosenberg : Ethan! What happened to him? He just went poof.

  Cassandra Rayne : Perhaps the First has plans for my traitorous descendant after all.

  Buffy : Only one way to find out.

• Sid the Dummy : Jeez! Took your sweet time. Demons are trying to whittle me down to a toothpick and you five are gallavanting around on your little scavenger hunt.

  Buffy : I'm not sure being eaten by zombie penguins counts as gallavanting.

  Faith : Actually, I'm having a blast. Beats prison hands down. Girl can't get this exercise in stir.

  Spike : Right, look, can we just put the sodding flesh puzzle together and be done with it?

  [They put the body parts together, the body assembles and Cassandra comes back to life] 

  Ethan Rayne : It's true. I can't believe it... my own ancestor, a warrior for the Powers.

  Cassandra Rayne : Cold. Why am I so cold?

• [after Buffy defeats Ethan Rayne/The First] 

  Cassandra Rayne : It is over, Slayer. You accomplished what I could not.

  Buffy : Is it dead?

  Cassandra Rayne : The First cannot die. It is an integral part of the universe. But you have dispersed it's evil across all realities and dimensions. It will be centuries before it can coalesce again.

  Buffy : What about Ethan? I... it was the only way. But I just can't let him die.

  Cassandra Rayne : Nor can I. Despite my revulsion at his cruel nature, I know that he was but a pawn here. I will share my essence with his, my spirit with his. I have touched the purest light in creation. Perhaps *my* touch will illuminate some shard of decency in him.
