"What's the problem?" Asked Angel as he saw Spike get up and brush himself off.
"Demons; a whole bugger lot of them!" He growled out as he took out a stick that was lodged into his hair. "It's like the buggers just came in swarms."
"Where were they at?" Giles asked as he walked back to the counter and retrieved a sword. At the same time, Willow, Xander, Dawn, Tara, and Anya all ran to the back of the shop to grab weapons. Buffy walked over to the counter and Giles handed her a stake and a small knife. She slid the knife into her back pocket and tightly grabbed the stake. Spike looked back at Giles after he finished dusting himself off.
"They're in front of the bloody shop. They were clamoring on about 'taking revenge on the one in black,' which I think is you mate," Spike explained and pointed at Angel.
Angel frowned and thought back to who it might've been that he killed. The only one that came to mind was the mugger that tried to rob him hours ago. He groaned suddenly as he remembered not picking up a human vibe on him. "Damn," he said to himself quietly. Suddenly, a dark, yet loud challenging growl erupted from Angel's throat startling everyone inside. "This is the last thing I need," he mumbled. He reached around behind him and produced a small, yet elegantly designed dagger.
He flipped the dagger on his hand and the handle fell perfectly into his awaiting palm. He tossed the dagger up and caught it by the blade and started forward. Buffy and Spike looked at each other and shrugged and then proceeded to follow Angel. Xander looked to the others and shrugged also. "I don't want to miss Dead-Boy getting the snot kick out of him," he quipped out and followed the other three out. The remaining members of the Scooby Gang just followed Xander out.
As soon as they stepped out into the streets, they noticed Angel flinging the wicked-looking dagger into the demon that was speaking. The demon gurgled as the dagger penetrated its neck and Angel stayed calm as he looked at the other remaining demons. The demons were green in appearance and wore dark colored clothing. Giles counted in total of 10 demons and he knew Buffy, Angel, and Spike were going to need help. He could tell they seemed strong in appearance by the way the demons carried themselves and he had to somehow get weapons to the three.
"Dawn, Willow, Tara; go inside and grab as many weapons as you can," he said to three without taking his eyes off the small group of demons. Suddenly one of the demons roared a battle cry and charged into Angel, taking itself and the dark vampire to the floor. Spike leapt over the door and tackled himself into two of the demons. Buffy was immediately circled in and she looked around her.
"Well—who's first then?" She quipped out and quickly roundhouse kicked an approaching demon. Giles and Xander quickly ran over to help out Buffy and they both managed to get two of the demons that crowed around Buffy. Xander struck one of the demons with a punch, but the demon quickly recovered and backhanded Xander to the floor. Giles ducked an incoming kick, then he quickly kneed the demon in the stomach. Taking advantage of the crouched positing of the demon, he punched it across the face, but the demon quickly recovered and tackled Giles to the ground. Anya yelped as she noticed a demon approaching her and she ran inside the store.
Angel kicked the demon off of him and vamped out as soon as he stood up. The demon stood up and flashed his razor sharp teeth and wicked-looking claws and Angel narrowly avoided a swipe of the claws. He ducked as the demon jumped up to try and strike Angel with a spinning back kick. Angel took advantage and kicked the demon's legs off the floor as soon as it landed. He then jumped on the demon and started to pummel it with punches.
Spike rolled to the side to avoid one of the demons, but he failed to see the other demon behind him. The demon grabbed Spike from behind and tossed him on top of Angel, knocking him off the demon he was punching. The two other demons followed and helped their comrade up, just as Buffy was thrown right into the two vampires. Xander and Giles soon followed and the five looked around as the 10 demons circled them. They growled and flashed their fangs and claws, while Angel responded equally by flashing his fangs and growling challenging. Spike followed as well and both master vampires stood side by side, ready to take on the challenge.
Just then, Angel scented a familiar scent and he looked around. He didn't see anyone or anything, but he knew the scent of that person. Even though he wasn't on good terms with that person, he was well-aware of the brutal fighting skills that person had.
Summoning all of his strength and speed, Angel ran over to two demons, starting the fight up again. The two demons were shocked and surprised at the speed of Angel and he managed to knock them both down. Angel quickly stood up and quickly glanced around. He saw Spike take on one of the demons in one-on-one combat and he then looked at Buffy. He noticed that Buffy stayed near Xander and Giles and together the three formed a well-balanced team. He quickly glanced at Willow, Tara, Dawn, and Anya coming out of the Magic Box armed to the teeth and they quickly started throwing weapons to Buffy, Spike, Xander, and Giles. Since he was too far away, Angel settled for unarmed combat, but he noticed that he was close enough to grab the dagger that he used to kill the leader with.
Because he was thinking too much, Angel failed to notice one of the demons sneaking up behind him. The demon pushed Angel into the demon that was facing the vampire and Angel walked right into a powerful punch. He fell down hard and stared up dazedly to the two demons. They growled in joy and were about to tear into the vampire when another person jumped into the battle. The person stood in front of Angel and swung a mighty claymore around, pushing the demons back. Angel quickly shook off his momentary daze and stood up. He looked at the person and stifled a groan. The person was wearing clothes similar to him. He could tell that the shirt the person wore was his favorite maroon silk shirt and he could tell that they shoes were his as well. If he were still a betting man, he would've guessed that those were his pants as well. He looked up to the familiar deep, dark water blue eyes and he groaned out loud as he noticed the identical hair style mirrored his own.
"What are you doing here, Groo?" He asked as he avoided a kick from one of the demon and managed to punch it to the ground.
"I have come at the behest of my princess," the Groosalugg replied back. He embedded his claymore into one of the demons and he managed to unsheathe Angel's favorite sword from the scabbard that was across his back. He threw the sword over to Angel and Angel caught the sword with ease and he slashed another demon across the chest.
Angel and Groo then each embedded their swords into the remaining demon. They both kicked the demon away and ran over to help the others.
"Is that my clothes you're wearing?" Angel asked as they ran over to the others.
"No it is not. My princess purchased this attire from a place called the Mall. The place is a strange area," Groo commented back as both he and Angel took over the battle. Buffy, Spike, Giles, Xander, and the others managed to kill four of the demon, but four remained. The held their group as Angel and the strange man that appeared out of nowhere stopped and turned to look at each other.
"And she also convinced you to cut your hair like mine?" Angel asked with annoyance lacing his tone.
"She said 'it's a look' but she did not elaborate much about it," Groo said with smile gracing his handsome features. Angel just groaned and turned to the remaining demons.
"Since you're here to help, let's go," Angel said as he charged into the remaining demons. Groo followed closely behind raising up his claymore just as Angel slashed down with his sword.
