Welcome to Sunnydale High, where midterms and peer pressure are the least of your worries. The Stake Your Destiny series returns Buffy Summers and the Scoobies to the glory days of high school. But this time you control the action and accept the full responsibility of being the Slayer. Interactive story lines advance by the choices you make, leading toward more than a dozen possible endings. Do you have what it takes to be the Slayer, or will you fail and summon a successor? Because of the high incidence of death and violence, the Mayor of Sunnydale has invited a woman called Belakane to speak at Sunnydale High School. Her program, "Be the Ultimate You!" builds self-esteem in teenagers. But Belakane is a demon antlike queen, whose test — and subsequent nurturing of the skills she discovers — is simply part of her plot to enlist workers to build her colony, and to find mates to help her populate it. Soon, Sunnydale High is full of kids with only one trait each: aggressive Slayer, brainy Willow, helpful Oz... and Belakane has only just begun...
