"What in the world happened here?" Dragon asked, looking around, surprise on her face. Down Town LA was coated in tons of demon bodies of all kinds.
"I leave for a year and the town goes to pot? who would have thought?" She sighed and started to walk down the ally ways, following her gut to where all her friends were.
Umi crouched low, skittering under a parked car left carelessly by its owner. Blood streaked the steering wheel and the driver's side door. A quick sniff told her the smears belonged to a human...most likely the previous owner. L.A. was no longer the city she remembered...demons ran all about, not caring if they were seen in the daylight. And what destruction and death they didn't cause, the vampires and other light-sensitive creatures took over in the night. Humans cowered in fear, locking themselves in their homes, barricading themselves when hope of escape died away.
'What had happened here?' She wondered. 'Were there no more champions?' Her thoughts turned to the city's previous heroes and, checking for any beasties, she took off down the empty street, looking for any familiar faces. She headed for the landmarking building of Wolfram and Hart.
"Huh. good to see hell still stands" Dragon said with a snort. laughing slightly as she looked at the tall law office. she could feel that there werent many people still in side like there use to be. She shoved her hands into her pockets, glairing at any low rank demon that thought about walking up to her.
"I advise you all to back off before you see your back."
Dragon pushed threw the large wooden doors that marked the entrance to the law firm.
"Spike? You here? Umi? Angel?" Dragon kicked at a corpse that blocked her path.
"Messy things"
Umi leaped from rooftop to rooftop, sliding slightly as she landed on Wolfram and Hart's roof. An access panel was still left unbolted, allowing her easy access. Creeping through the wreaked, yet, oddly empty hallways, all of her senses were on high alert. Something was alive in here, that much was certain. She just only hoped that it was something she could take on.
Crouching low, she prepared to leap at the approaching creature, when she recognized the scent and pulled up short.
"Dragon?!" She hollered.
"thank freaking god youre alive!" Dragon said with a large grin and jumped/hugged her good friend.
"Not that anyone could ever take you down!" She laughed and her friend balanced her self with her tail.
"Dragon?!" Umi howled. "Oh, its so good to find a familiar face and someone who isn't trying to eat me!!" Umi laughed, leaping around in a large circle around Dragon. Pausing to look at a still bleeding carcus, she asked, "That's not your handiwork, is it?"
"No...Found it like that." Dragon replied with a shrug.
"Thought so...too stabby, not enough burning. No finesse what-so-ever." Umi nodded with a toothy grin, which died quickly. "What has happened to L.A.? Have you seen Angel? Or Spike?"
"no. i'm getting worried too. but I havent a clue what happened. I just decided to come back into to town and this is what I found. thats what I get for wanting a breather. shit head demons think they can take over our town. so" dragon kicked the body again
"wanna go find our boys. I know they're here. I feel it."
"Lets. I want to know what is going on here." Umi said walking down the hall and checking all the doors on the right as Dragon checked the left.
"angel?! You here? Blond idiot?!"
"Spike's not an idiot. he's an amazingly smart sexy perfect vampire." dragon said, stars in her eyes.
"Nice to see someone thinks that way." Spikes thick english voice said from a room a few in front of them.
"and here I was hoping her insanity would have passed within the year." angel said, stepping out of the office to smile at Umi. SPike stepped out of the office as well only to have Dragon run and tackle him to the floor.
"Spiky!!"
Umi watched with a grin as Dragon threw herself at Spike, but understood exactly what she felt. She couldn't help but run to Angel, throwing her own arms around his neck in a tight embrace and kissing him deeply.
"I was afraid I was never going to see you again..." Angel whispered to her in between kisses.
"...that, when you walked away, it was for the last time..." Spike was murmuring to Dragon. "But I would have gone to the ends of the earth..."
"...and even further to find you again." Angel finished. Umi and Dragon traded secret smiles over the vampires' shoulders. Their boys didn't realize that they were echoing each other's sentiments, but they didn't mind. It was just nice to see them again. "So...where have you two been?"
Umi looked to Dragon, then took the lead on reporting.
"I've roamed over many of the states, but I haven't found any destruction like this, anywhere. The rest of the world seems normal...but that also means that I couldn't find anyone willing to fight the good fight..." She said, then with a deep sigh, completed her thoughts. "Or any of our old allies."
"I ran around over seas and didnt find anything either. I found some old friends but they said that all we had to do was kill everyone in town. Didnt matter who and that we didnt need their help to do that." dragon said with a shrug as she hugged Spike tightly as he sat up from the floor
"Thats what I said do luv. But this bloody git wants to make sure the demons arent under a spell or something or cant be helped." Spike said, grabbing Dragons legs and wrapping them around his waist.
"But right now. At this moment in time mate. I have a whole year to catch up on" Spike started to head to another office.
"Talk to you guys in a little bit." Dragon said with a giggle.
"Horny things. thank god they're not rabbits." Umi said, shacking her head.
Angel had to grin at Umi's comment. Gently wrapping his arms around her and drawing her closer to him, he could understand Spike's position. Missing his girl for so long...not knowing if he'd ever see her again...Angel wasn't sure if he was thinking on Spike's behalf or his own personal behalf anymore. It just felt good to be able to hold Umi once again.
"I'm glad you're back." He said with a soft smile. "I'm glad you're safe." She smiled back up at him.
"I'm glad YOU'RE safe." She echoed, hugging him tightly and snuggling her head against his chest. "I was worried...but I couldn't bring myself to call you. I was afraid that if I heard your voice, I might not be able to continue my quest...or stop you from following after me." Looking up, she added. "And L.A. needs its hero...now more than ever."
With a set expression of grim acknowledgment, Angel drew away slightly and led her to the window. Together, they stood silently, looking down on the ruins that use to be L.A.
"It use to be so different..." She remarked. "What on earth could have lead all the demons to unleash such fury and wrath like this? Most lead such peaceful lives..."
Dragon sat on the floor, legs pulled up beside her, hands on her knees as Spike pulled his pants back up.
"They just went bleedin mad luv. One moment everything was sunny ol LA-"
"The next they were just going mad. they burst from the shadows, from the sewers, out of their human magical shields. It was a massacre. The humans had no warning. Nor did we." Angel said, looking down at the streets.
"My Lord." Umi murmured, picturing the slaying in her minds eye, the humans running in terror, not sure as to what was happening, not able to really run any where. Angel turned away from the window and walked over to his desk where he leaned against it, crossing his arms and ankles.
"We put all of our magic people on it, and contacted and... well, did some not so nice things. To try and get information. But no one could figure out why this was happening."
"Maybe they all just got tired of hiding you know? Having to act like they werent there anymore and tried to just riot but it got outta hand?" Dragon thought out loud. Remembering how pissed she was that she always had to watch her self around people. Spike shrugged as he handed her her shirt.
"I dont know pet. But what ever happened we couldnt stop it. I dont even know how you got into town, they closed the whole place off."
Spikes furrowed his brow as he stopped to think about it.
"I just walked in. I didnt think that they had it blocked."
Dragon grinned up at him as she pulled on her Jarith t-shirt.
"But we should go and talk to the demons. FInd out whats going on with them."
"I agree." Umi said, having known that they werent... doing anything anymore.
"No, it's to dangerous. I just got you back." Angel said, wrapping his arms around her. Dragon giggled at their cuteness as Umi turned bright red.
"How sweet!"
SPike automatically scoped her up off her feet.
"I refuse as well pet."
Umi looked up at Angel, then gently untangled herself from his embrace, stepping back a step so she could face him properly.
"As much as I agree, we all have to face the same thing: this is worse than anything any of us have seen..." She paused there, watching expressions pass across Angel's face.
"Like hell on earth..." He murmured. Spike nodded solemnly in agreement.
"...And we need to find a way to stop this. That means ALL of us. None of us can do it on our own." Umi finished, then reached out to hug Angel again. "Dragon is right...the best way to find out why the demons are doing all of this is to ask them..."
Spike and Angel traded looks and silently argued, but in the end, it was agreed upon.
"Fine then..." Spike sighed. "Lets get you two some bloody weapons..."
"YAY!! Weapons!!" Dragon cheered. "Sharp, pointy, hurty weapons!! We are SO going to kick demon butt!!" Umi laughed at her friend's enthusiasms. She knew how much Dragon hated to stand around when there was fighting to be done.
"A scythe!! I so want that!! It's so pretty." Dragon said with a large smile as she pulled it down off the wall.
"Luv, be careful out there okay? You just got back and I dont want to have to kill some blokes. Well, I do, but -"
Dragon jumped up and kissed Spike, stopping him in mid sentence.
"I'll be fine hunny. Dont stress it! So Umi. You ready to go ask some people some questions?"
Umi grinned at her friend, pulling away from the silver blades that were strapped onto her legs.
"Yes lets."
