10. Ranger of the Future
Xander walked into Buffy's house, black cloak flowing around him. "My, you are looking very nice this evening, Xander," Joyce stated.
Xander bowed, picked up her right hand, and kissed it lightly. "Thank-you, my lady Joyce, for the wonderful comment," he said quietly.
Joyce smiled, charmed by Xander's manners, "And just who are you going as this evening?"
"I am Marcus Cole, a ranger and the only human trained as a weapons master by the Minbari," replied the polite English voice.
"Xander?" Buffy called out as she came down the stairs.
"Ah, Milady Elizabeth, Duchess of Buffonia, how are you this fine evening," once again, bowing politely.
Buffy looked at him in surprise, "You know, you kinda sound like Giles."
Xander just smiled, looked behind her and said, "My lady Willow. I see you have decided to go as a ghost this year."
Willow came down the stairs and stood by Buffy. "My ladies, I presume that we are ready to go?" Xander extended his elbows out politely, "Shall we be off than?"
Marcus's Minbari Fighting Pike lashed out with brutal efficiency as he knocked out the pirate in front of him, thinking that, that had felt strangely satisfying.
Marcus Cole stalked into Willy's, pissed off and spoiling for a fight. He smiled a shark's smile and pulled out his staff. Cha-ching and his Minbari Fighting Pike extended to its full length. Willy's patrons didn't know what hit them as he proceeded to trash the bar and everyone in it.
"Well, Xander, your adventures as Marcus Cole have already become legendary in demonic circles," Giles sighed.
Xander smiled and replied in a soft English accent, "It's not really a surprise, Giles," and fingered the compact staff; he had shoved in the waist band of his pants.
