Xander revved the engine on the motorcycle as his mind pondered how things had changed since Halloween. He'd been talked out of the soldier costume by Ethan Rayne and he'd seen Jonothan looking at some costumes from video games. In the end he'd dressed as Vincent Valentine that night.
He'd managed to out himself from his friends since Halloween, especially since the Judge had triggered some of the changes to his body caused by being Vincent. The Galian Beast had manifested and he destroyed the Judge and the mall in a matter of moments while a badly injured Drucilla was carried away by Angelus who was suffering from multiple gunshot wounds.
It had given him total recall of Vincents life which had led to the bike. Valentine knew a lot about Clouds Fenrir and had helped Cid make the thing, he'd built himself a new version of it for Sunnydale and called it the Fenris.
His own abilities were at the level they were that night due to his own training, though his own weaponry was slightly different. Close to two dozen firearms and other weapons in the slots on the bike and a reconstructed version of the Cerberus in his belt holster.
His mind flashed back to the present as he briefly brushed the thoughts about the nuisance Angelus had become. Xander had managed to get Jenny Calendar to safety in an hour long game of cat and mouse against the vampire and a handfull of demons and what felt like a legion of minions.
What he did know about Angelus' most recent plan and almost growled. Giles had gotten grabbed and Kendra was in critical condition in the hospital as were several of his friends. Buffy was being hunted by the police thanks to the troll of a principal. He was currently waiting for Angelus to show up to hopefully finish this before Buffy showed up to prevent him from terminating the leech.
He saw his target through the window and almost grinned but saw the blond slayer moving after the vampire with a sword.
"And just like everything else concerning the vampire, the plan goes straight down the drain," he muttered to himself as he gunned the engine and shot after the two while drawing Cerberus with his right hand.
The golden metal of the gauntlet covering his left hand shimmered slightly in the light.
Buffy was staggering backwards as Angelus taunted her when both Slayer and vampire froze to the sound of an engine roar.
Then the door exploded in a shower of wooden shards that scattered around while a massive boke careened through the room with a red cloaked figure with a very large handgun that poured weapons fire into the already injured vampire. The bike and rider made a full flip, Xander passing mere inches above Angelus before it finished the flip to land on its wheels in a shower of sparks as it slid to the base of the stone demon.
Materia enhansed bullets shredded the room as Angelus dove for cover from Xanders assault as he tossed the sword at the red leather clad being.
The blade bounced harmlessly off his golden toned metal boots right as Angelus froze.
"Buffy?" he gasped as the Slayer moved with a scream to charge the gunman, grabbing the fallen sword and slashing out at Xander. He parried the blade with his guantleted arm, the blood coating the armor as he moved to avoid the forming portal.
He almost screamed as she kicked the bike, screaming at him about how dare he.
He was knocked into the portal as Buffy hit the bikes activation lever and was knocked back by the expantion of the weapons slots.
The world began to disolve around him as he saw Buffys eyes grow wide and collapse to the ground sobbing as the Fenris and himself were pulled in.
Pain shot through him, enough to make him gasp and release the stored energy in a flash of raw power.
The statue of Acaltha exploded in a wave of silver blue energy that then collapsed in on itself as the Galian Beast raged against the pull, disrupting it and throwing him across the void between worlds like a rock skipping across a lake.
Then all went black.
He groaned slightly as feelings of pain rushed through his veins. It felt like he'd been electrocuted, a memory from one of the times Vincent had almost died. It was worse than anything Xander had personally felt and Vincents only real memories of worse pain were from Hojo's experiments on him.
Xander felt sand beneath him and heard waves as his gloved right hand brushed the ivory grip of the Cerberus. The crisp scent of salt and moisture jostled him the rest of the way to the waking world.
Spitting sand out of his mouth, he rolled over and opened his eyes a crack only to snap them shut and cover them to shield his eyes from the sun.
He blinked a few times to adjust to the light as he took in a breath and sat up slightly.
"Where the hell am I?" he whispered to himself as he surveyed the bright blue ocean against the white turf and lush forrests.
He saw the Fenris half buried in the sand and crawled over to it before working the heavily damaged motorcycle free of the ground.
A moment later he rolled to his feet and reloaded Cerberus before holstering the oversized pistol back at his waist, comforted by the familiar weight beneath his slightly damaged cloak.
"Come on, come on," Xander muttered to himself as he worked on the computer controls to try to figure out where he was, "Damn it, what do you mean no signal, any communications satelite would give a god damned signal."
He leaned against the bike for a moment as he flipped the computer off and set its systems to recharge.
A low growl alerted him and he spun, Cerberus clearing its sheath as he spotted a large, blue and white furred creature with what appeared to be a broken horn and a very large axe.
"Erm," he muttered to himself, "Hi."
AN: This is an idea I've had since Advent Children and the hope that Vincent would have appeared in KH2. Since that didn't happen I decided to use Vincent as Xanders costume (Not actually doing the Halloween night, but the after effects except perhaps as flashbacks later on). I'm taking a few liberties with this because I wanted Xander to have more than just a tiny bit of ammunition and the Cerberus is the gun Vincent uses through Dirge of Cerberus from what i have read about it. As for where Xander got sent in this, well you'll have to guess for now but there was a very big hint at the end of this chapter.
