From the journal of Alexander Harris may 2001
Doc raised the knife to make the first of the incisions as Buffy and glory fought below them, Buffy was just beginning to get the upper hand when he began.
"
Nice and shallow." doc says as he cuts the young girl tied to the top of the tower slowly making three long gashes on her abdomen, the cuts begin to bleed slowly the blood running down her legs to drip though the grating that makes up the walk way of the platform where she is tied too.
Doc smiled as he observed his handy work waiting for the portal that glory would use to reach her home dimension to open, nothing happened he looked up in shock to dawn's eyes changing from their normal sky blue to a golden yellow that had a vertical slit that run through them like a cats.
Doc began to worry when he caught the girls scent she wasn't a vampire but neither was she human, it smelled like some type of lizard, sweat began to form on his fore head unnoticed as dawns skin began to slowly change texture from that of a human to that of a crocodile before his eyes the wounds that he had inflicted healing without a scare in moments.
The creature gave a low growl and tore it's right arm free from the rope that was tied around it wrist, the talons on the tips of her fingers making short work of the rope on her left wrist as they sliced it like tissue.
At that point doc decided he had better try to restrain this creature and find out what it had done with the key before glory had his hide nailed to her wall.
"Don't think a little shape shiftings going to help you escape" doc said as he charges the creature his knife rose to strike at its head.
The creature that had been dawn summers struck out with the talons of its right hand drawing four deep parrial gashes across docs chest, making him jump back least he receive worse injury at the hands of this unknown creature that moved faster than any demon he'd ever encountered before, only to discover that he had backed himself into a corner with no escape in sight.
The being in front of him continued to change form as wings ripped though the dress that it wore leaving little more that rags clinging to it, its head also changed taking on a shape that favored a crocodiles more than a human girls.
After about five minutes of listening to the sound of flesh and bone tearing itself apart and reforming as the creature reshaped its form to its liking, it seemed to reach the end of its transformation much to Doc's horror.
For standing before him wasn't a young helpless girl, but a half grown red dragon its horns and scales gleaning in the pale moon light as it regarded him in the same way a starving teenager did a bully that had just stolen the last piece of pizza from her plate, slowly at first a growl escaped its maw and built in volume until it reverberated though the tower and could be heard all across the battle field below.
All the combatants on the ground stopped fighting and looked up at the forty foot dragon that was crouched on the top of the tower, with a sudden hate filled roar the dragon lashed out with one of its forehands and sent doc flying from the platform in two separate pieces still screaming as his upper torso struck the ground with a resounding crunch that made every human and demon wince.
"WHAT the heck is that!!" xander yells as the dragon leaps from the tower and takes flight climbing higher in the night sky.
A Dragon now you don't see one of those every day." Anya says as the dragon begins to fly in lazy circles in the sky.
"It's a bloody dragon." spike says at the same time, awe filling his voice as the great creature begins to slowly descend.
Glory chose that moment of inattention to renew her attack on Buffy catching her by surprise and knocking her to the ground and placing her foot on the slayers neck so she can't move without chocking, thus immobilizing the smaller woman.
"Where's my key slayer, I've tried to be patent, but now you've made me mad, so know we'll do this the easy way." glory says with a cruel smile on her face.
When buffy wouldn't answer her glory started to apply pressure to her foot causing the slayer to begin to chock, suddenly all around the battle field glorys minions began screaming and running for cover as the dragon suddenly let out a ear splitting roar and went into a dive, its wings held straight back and its fore paws posed to strike.
The red dragon struck glory in the upper torso nearly ripping her left arm off before flying back into the sky and turning for another pass, glory stunned at the injury that she had suffered didn't try to move out of the way of the dragons long spiked tail as it slammed into sending her flying thirty feet into a brick wall that cracked when she hit it.
She lay there for a few seconds and then tried to rise but couldn't get her left arm to move when she looked over at it she saw that it was only hanging by a few strands of muscle and skin the rest had been ripped away by the dragon's talons.
The dragon landed a few yards away and slowly walked on all four of its legs to where glory was laying propped against the wall , glory was staring at the dragon in disbelief as she lay there, her blood staining the ground as she bleed to death.
"Did you really think the monks would place the key into so fragile a form as a human girl and not give her the power to protect herself from you." the dragon said right before glory's form changed to that of Ben.
The creature inhaled a mightily and let loose with a white hot blast that melted the wall that Ben was laying against, leaving a vague outline of a human body on the ground.
The dragon then turned its head towards the Scooby's and gave a draconic smirk and said ,"so buffy does this mean that I can go on patrols now?" it said in dawns cheekiest tone of voice.
An "eeep" was heard quickly followed by a thud as buffy fainted for the first time in her life.
"Bloody hell" spike said
And above it all a roaring laugh could be heard.
From that day forward life in sunnydale got a whole lot more interesting.
