Xander had been searching for the last piece needed for his costume from a recent anime, luckily he already had a yellow jumpsuit and gloves and boots, so all he needed was a cape and a bald-head wig. his best friend, Willow was going to dress up with him from the same anime luckily she too had the dress needed and just needed a wig for her get up. They hadn't been planning on dressing up at all, but a troll(principle Snyder) had cornered them and forced them, along with their friend Buffy, into a babysitting/trick or treating gig. and as much as they hate to have to go do it, at least they wanted to have fun with it. spite the the principal by actually having fun with it.
they went to the only costume shop that they'd be able to afford, Ethan's. Thankfully since Willow had most of her outfit she was able to help Xander pay for his. browsing through the shop they were fortunately able to get the last parts of their costumes easily. Buffy had come along as well, to help look, and to find her own. and she spotted The Dress. a pink frilly thing that looked to be for royalty from the 18th century. she instantly knew she had to have it, but she looked at the price-tag.
"I'm never going to be able to afford this." she sighed.
the proprietor overheard her lamentations, "I could make a deal with you, dear. as tomorrow is Halloween and I really don't want to store all these for the next year I am motivated to sell. how much do you have?"
"well…" she thought about it, the price was 250 dollars, she only had 50 for a costume. "I only have 40, so unless you want to give a girl an 84 percent dis-"
"done." he cut in, a gleam in his eye.
buffy slack jawed for a moment then squealed and jumped up and down.
Xander showed up at that moment, white cape and bald-head wig in hand. "What's the excitement about?"
"I got my costume and for an awesome deal!" she exclaimed
Xander saw The Dress and sighed, he knew exactly why she wanted it. her blood-sucking boyfriend was turned around the time that dress looked to be from, he couldn't understand why a woman with her abilities and responsibilities would like a vampire. Considering she was the Slayer, she should want to shove a stake through his heart, not win it.
the three friends paid for their costume pieces and left, with Willow gushing over the dress as well. she mostly just liked it for the historical accuracy.
the next day
Xander showed up at Buffy's house fully in costume. He knocked on the door only to be answered by Buffy already dressed and ready to go. when she saw him she said, "at least you've got the stupid look down pat."
"Buffy you wound me!" Xander said in mock agony.
Willow chose this time to walk down the stairs. xander saw her and said, "'Fubuki', looking beautiful as always!"
"not too bad yourself 'Saitama'. so, shall we head off to assist the children on getting sugar highs?"
"off to the high school!" Xander said walking off with his two friends trailing behind.
a few hours later
Saitama wasn't sure where he was, just that it looked to be america and there was chaos around him, he started to wander around knocking out the monsters, not one to kill if he didn't have to, and since he wasn't sure what was going on he didn't want to accidentally kill and innocent who had been temporarily transformed. he rushed around single punching everything in his way until he ran into Fubuki.
"Fubuki! what are you doing here? do you know what's going on?"
She replied "Yeah. apparently we were summoned into people via costumes. luckily they stay with us subconsciously, I was able to sense the girl I'm in right now and gleaned the info from her. right now I'm looking for this girls friend, Buffy, that was dressed as a victorian duchess, she'd be defenseless right now. I believe she's just around the corner."
"ok"
they continued until saw the woman in question, whom was in a hysterical fit and hiding as best she could.
"Hey, Lady, we're here to help." saitama deadpanned
she looked at him and scrambled over to the duo, "Where am I? why are there monsters everywhere?"
Fubuki spoke before saitama could say something to make it worse, "We are in the New world and the future, you are only here temporarily and should just get somewhere safe to wait it out.." she closed her eyes as if meditating for a moment. "Follow me."
the trio then walked down the road to a specific house where fubuki grabbed a key from above the door frame and let them in. "Saitama you should stay here and protect Buffy, she is important to this area. I'll go and see about seeing the mentor to her and see if he can help us." she then walked out the door and flew off.
a short time later Saitam heard a scream and went to investigate, seeing a bigfoot chasing a scantily clad woman. He ran over and gave the creature a light right hook and knocked it about 15 feet away. it shakily got back up and ran the opposite direction. "Huh, that felt really good for some reason."
the woman stopped running, "thank you so much." she then headed to the house that saitama had come out of.
"who was that?" he shrugged and headed back inside.
When saitama got back inside he noticed Buffy and the new girl fighting over something, he clapped his hands to get their attention, "first, who are you, second, why were you fighting?"
"I'm Cordelia, who do you think I am, Xander? And Buffy was calling me a whore-"
"As if one dressed as you could be anything but a lady of the night." Buffy cut in.
Saitama didn't want to deal with it, "Cordelia, go upstairs and look for something we could barricade the door with or some weapons."
Cordelia headed upstairs with a minimum of grumble, thankfully separating the two women and keeping a fight from happening.
He was about to see what he could do about stopping Buffy from making any more trouble when a shout from outside came.
"Open up Buffy! I know you're in there and weak."
Sighing saitama stepped outside to take care of the ass trying to pick on a defenseless woman. "Oi, go away, she's not up for your games right now come back in the morning."
Shocked someone actually stepped outside the safety of the threshold spike grinned, he'd rush up grab the idiot as a hostage and force the slayer outside for him to kill. He realized his error when as he stepped onto the porch a fist met his face.
Flying back to the street he laid on the ground for a moment to figure out what happened. He stood up shakily and signalled to his false vampire to break in and kidnap the slayer while the obvious muscle was distracted.
"That's a pretty strong right hook. But you caught me off time you won't get me." The vampire known as Spike rushed forward again, but changed direction before getting into a punch range. Flipping and jumping around Saitama in an attempt to confuse him and get in a sneak attack.
Spike launched himself off a wall into a drop kick aimed at taking Saitama's head off when the man turned suddenly with a fist raised. Too committed to the attack to stop Spike flew right into the counter, saitama's punch landed right in spikes groin and launched him back out into the street.
Spike stood back up, barely this time but before he could do anything else a commotion inside the house distracted Saitama and when he turned back around Spike was gone. Saitama went inside to find out what happened.
a new person was in the house, before Saitama could take care of him the new guy stopped him, "Wait, wait. I'm a friend. I came by to make sure everything was ok with the craziness going on. when I got here buffy was acting like one of those vapid bimbos from when I was younger. before I could figure out what was wrong a vampire broke into the kitchen and I had to fight him off, but I had to game-face to take care of it. Buffy saw and fled outside while I was distracted."
"ok" saitama deadpanned. he went outside to begin looking for buffy.
meanwhile with Fubuki
she was not happy. dealing with this man was frustrating he was knowledgeable, but seemed to regard her with some contempt. probably due to her being an esper. regular people tended to be a bit leary of them.
"Giles, while I was coming over here I did see some people that were in costumes but not changed. perhaps the costumes have something to do with it, both Sai-Xander and I shopped at a place called Ethan's yesterday."
"Ethan's? no, it couldn't be…" he then rushed over to a different stack and picked out a specific book. "I hope I'm right. if who I think is doing this is correct we might be able to end it soon." opening the book he flipped to the pages until a bust of janus was showing. reading quickly he stood up. "Take me to the costume shop. my research verifyd that this is within Janus' purview, and the Ethan I knew was a devotee of Janus.
Fubuki stood, nodded, and walked out of the library with Giles on her heels.
Buffy's whereabouts
Buffy was horrified. this ruffian had laid his hands on her and seemed of a mind to do much more momentarily. she screamed.
Saitama heard the scream and recognized it and rushed to her aid. dropping down the alley he smacked the pirate away from his charge. "man what is with you and getting into trouble?"
Buffy clung to him she was terrified and this man had saved her twice already. "Please good sir, take me somewhere safe."
Saitama brought her to a warehouse he spotted on his way to save her and locked the doors. we should be good until this blows over."
A slamming on the metal door was heard, "crap." the blonde ponce broke through.
"crap" he game-faced immediately and rushed the slayer in an attempt to get a hostage. but before he was even 5 feet from her saitama swung. a blast of pressure hit, picking Spike up and throwing him through the air through the wall of the warehouse and the warehouse after that and the warehouse after that. he got enough height to no longer hit anything but air, but was somehow still accelerating, air compression and fiction beginning to heat him up until right before he cleared the troposphere he ignited like a meteor going in reverse and burnt into ash in an instant. looking through the massive hole saitama said "well I guess that takes care of that."
A wave of something ephemeral flew through the area. and Xander and buffy were back to their old selves. "What just happened?" xander wondered.
"Dunno, let's go ask Giles, he'll know."
the Library, next day
Giles had decided the night before that a debriefing could wait until everyone was better rested. and for any lingering personalities to disperse. "Alright everyone any lasting effect of from Ethan's prank?
"Yeah, I still have psychic powers." Willow answered first.
"I was afraid of that. once an Esper is activated they will never become dormant again. I'll need to request some books from the Watchers so you can properly train in them, or you'll be rather more vulnerable to psychic attacks. anyone else?"
Xander, who was still bald, "Um, yeah, I don't have any hair, but I am super strong now." he demonstrated by lifting the large solid oak table they were sitting at. "I'm not even trying right now either.
"I'll have to research it, from what I've been able to gelen so far your Limiter may have been broken by last night's effects."
Buffy chimed in, "Why did you guys get all the cool abilities, all I got was an understanding of french and sewing. this sucks."
there we go, another YAHF. this time One punch Man. they way I figure it Glory, the Mayor, and the First Evil are screwed.
