Prologue
The snake-like tendrils whipped through the air as Buffy and Gunn made their way for the beast; axes held high.
Gunn made a quick dash to the right as one soared straight to his chest. He turned back quickly and decapitated the slithery head. Another made a quick snap at his skull; Gunn snatched it by the throat and ripped it from the seams of the beast ahead of him.
Buffy slung her axe in the air, cutting and slicing through the tendrils. One unfortunately gained the advantage once it snuck behind her and wrapped its body around her axe wielding wrist. Another caught her by the ankle, tightly squeezing its body around her limb. Before the slayer knew it, she was being pulled into the air, helplessly flailing her body to break free.
"Gunn!" she cried.
He looked to see the predicament the slayer was in; just after slicing through another tendril, he rushed to her aid. He was quickly cut off however, when another slithery pursuer grazed pass his boots, tripping him. The axe fell out of Gunn's hand and he fell to the ground.
"Gunn!" he heard Buffy call again. She was being raised higher and higher into the air. "Help!"
Gunn scrambled to his feet, but his snaky enemies were faster. One wrapped its body around Gunn's waist, now bringing him into the air; another glided slowly towards him. It hissed as it moved closer and closer to his face.
"Time to join your friendsss" it said in a scratchy voice. It opened its mouth, revealing sharp fangs protruding from both sides, green fluid dripping from them.
The snake clamped down on Gun's neck with its fangs, the man heard himself scream from the searing pain.
He could feel the poison immediately coursing through his body, his limbs began to go numb, his shouting ceased, the snake bit down harder and harder into his neck.
Gunn found himself slipping out of consciousness. Buffy's cries for help were fading.
The world went black.
