Tokyo, Japan. Parked Black Van
"Harry I've got trouble with a capital T down here." Faisal's voice was really loud. Harry was still having problems with the enhanced senses.
"What is it?"
"I've got one of the uniformed Charlie Tangos hovering above the street. Take a grander; you can't miss him."
Harry and Xander did that. Xander had no problem with his senses. His body had enough time to adapt properly over the years.
"Will you look at that. My ticket back home just showed up. Christmas is a mite early this year."
"Maybe? You still have to catch the critter." Both men were joined by Gibs and soon after the women as well.
"What's going on?" Joyce asked Xander.
"Our ticket back home." He pointed at the hovering man.
Everyone saw what happened next. The float-y man pointed at a mailbox and fired a dark beam of energy at it.
The mailbox transformed into a parody of a large female humanoid. The float-y man spoke with the newly created creature and in less than ten seconds Mr. Float-y was out of here.
"Shit. Murphy woke up early. C'mon let bag and tag the mail girl." Xander didn't like the smirk on Harry's face at all. "Not one word."
Harry didn't say anything but he continued to smirk. "Let's go to work."
"And do what exactly?" Gibs asked. "I'm not sure if you know this Harry' but we are spies. As in people don't see us doing shit."
"He's right, Joyce you could you please get the presents?"
"Sure. I'll be right back." Joyce smiled at everyone as she left to check in with the hostess.
"What I wanna know is why the silly, but dangerous girl animates?" Xander asked no one.
"Maybe the guy really likes girls."
"I don't think so Gibs." Xander took one o the wrapped present boxes from Joyce and took out the two AA-12. He passed one to Harry, "Thirty explosives in he drum."
"HOLY SHIT! Is that what I think it is?" Gibs was in Awe. He'd seen the specs for these babies.
"Yeah. They'll be out in a few years." Xander showed Harry how to load the drum.
"What about me?" Gibs asked with wide eyes. He was looking at the other box like it was Christmas.
"Joyce, you can give him the other box."
"What's in this one. A Laser Rifle? Please tell me it's a Laser rifle?" Gibs begged.
"No Laser rifle for you."
Joyce opened the box and the second most beautiful sight her ever saw greeted his eyes. Seeing Claudia Schiffer naked backstage was still number one; a .50 caliber sniper rifle with laser and telescopic sight was an, oh so close second. "ThankyouThankyouThankyouThan kyouThankyou..."
Xander pulled out Otto's blaster pistol and pointed it at Gibs crotch, "Stop, or..."
Gibs jumped back and used his hands to cover Mr. Happy and the boys. "I'm cool." He was still smiling, "That's a Laser pistol!" he drooled.
"Nope. This here is an energy blaster. Waaayyyyy cooler it has unlimited payload, but only sixteen shots, before the energy pack needs to recharge itself. That takes about a day. Cover me. Xander opened the window and waited until the Daemon Mailer Youma passed beneath the window.
"No! Don't!" Gibs tried to save the young fool with the cool toys, but Harry stopped him. "Harry?"
"Look..." Harry pointed out the window. He saw Xander nail Daemon Mailer with both feet, and bounce off. The Daemon Mailer hit a solid cast iron lamp pole with minimal damage. It shrugged of the hit and looked around to see who dared attack it.
"That's not good." Gibs observed, "Do we shoot yet?"
"Not yet..." Harry adjusted the minimal settings on the portable auto canon masquerading as a shotgun.
"Wanna trade?" Gibs wiggled both eyebrows.
"No."
"Jezz Harry you always hog the cool hardware." Gibs grumbled and went to another window to get setup.
On the street Daemon Mailer saw the interesting male that attacked her, "Bow before me, and become a willing servant of Queen Beryl, and I'll spare you." It demanded. She could detect his dark potential. He didn't have any dark energy but the potential for it was there. She also found him quite handsome.
"How do I put this..." Xander pretended to think the offer over, "...no." he let loose with a spray of explosive shells on full auto. The Daemon Mailer was blasted apart.
Everyone looked at the destruction, "Too easy..." said Gibs.
Daemon Mailer started to reform.
"GIBS SHUTUP!" everyone shouted.
"Okay I admit. I deserved that one. How do we kill it?" he asked changing the subject and the focus of their hostility.
Xander tossed the AA-12 to the third floor and Harry caught it in one hand. He passed it to Joyce. She put it away. She didn't know how to use it yet.
Gibs glanced once at the AA-12, he shrugged. He didn't want to refocus back on him. Maybe later.
"What's he doing Harry?" Helen asked.
"He's going to charge the bad demon girl honey." Harry explained. It was what's he would do, and Xander's tactics were the same as his by now.
"Do you think that's safe?" Helen asked distracting him again. He wished it was Gibs so he could safely tell him to shut up. Instead he controlled his tongue if he ever wanted to sleep in the same bed as her anytime soon.
"Helen?"
"Yes Joyce?"
"Can I have a word please?"
"Now? There's a demon fighting Xander down there. Don't you care?" Helen had a soft spot for Xander. The thought of having him and Harry at the same time sent delicious shivers down her spine. She didn't think it would ever happen, but a girl can dream.
"Yes not." Joyce was firm and the remnants of Dawn obeyed instantly.
"What is it?"
"Are you trying to get Xander killed?" Joyce was using the stern mother face.
"What? God no!"
"Then stop distracting the boys from doing their jobs. Harry can't say no to you and Don't get me started on Gibs. Behave young lady!"
"Yes mom. Hey! You're not the mom of me." Helen started to get angry.
"No I'm not. But that's my boy down there. Don't you dare put his life in danger just so you can get your thrills. Behave!" the threat if she didn't was unspoken, but oh so there.
Helen backed off. She knew what a slayer could do, and if Joyce had the same power level she didn't want to cross the woman. She knew that her spanking could be vicious. She even saw the threat in her eyes. "I'll be good." Helen was proud of herself. She didn't whimper.
Sailor Venus and Sailor Jupiter had arrived on the top of the roof and saw the destruction on the street below. They also saw what the young stud from the other week holding his own against the Youma.
"On the street below, Xander had charged the Daemon Mailer and got inside her guard. He kicked her in the chest and bounced of the solid metal construction, He was able to move her several feet back. He rolled back to his feet and faced her.
"You will regret this rash decision. I shall steel your energy to better serve the queen. He dodged the first shot, but the second hit in the chest, "Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha..., ..., ..., ...Why is this not working. Where did you hide your energy? TELL ME!" she shrieked.
"Maybe your beam thing-y is on the fritz. Do you need to go back to the shop to repair it? I'll wait for you right here. Promise. He gave her the single finger salute."
"What kind of salute is that?" Daemon Mailer was curious.
"This is the I'm telling you the truth salute." He lied without smirking, smiling or any other expression. It was killing him. On the third floor he could hear Gibs laughing.
"Does this salute..." she copied the salute perfectly, "force you to stay here?" she asked.
"Nope. See, still telling the truth."
"I see. Then what would hold you when I'm gone?" she asked.
"My honest face. Honestly."
"I want to believe you, and I do like your face..." above Sailor Venus looked at Sailor Jupiter and said, "Mine. I saw him first."
"I talked to him last week. You didn't."
"You didn't claim him then. Therefore I call dibs. Mine!" her eyes narrowed ready to throw down with her team mate in the name of Love and Justice, and in her very inner being, Horniness.
"Fine. I admit. I should have laid claim, but I didn't think he was worth it then, but obviously he's made of much sterner stuff than the average man. I don't think I could have moved her that far if I kicked her myself." Jupiter admitted.
"So it's decided. Mine!"
"Yours." She conceded.
"Is it me or are these Youma getting stupider and stupider?"
"It may have something to do with the guy. He may have other powers beside the strength, speed and stamina." Jupiter replied. She had calculated the forces necessary to move that much mass that far and it would take someone like her to do the same thing.
"As they watched Xander talk to the Youma they decided that now would be the best time to ambush the silly thing while it was busy and confused.
"Wait here. I will be back. I need more instructions."
"Where are you going?" Xander didn't think it would answer, but hey, nothing ventured, nothing gained.
"My Lord is tracking down a huge beacon of dark energy from over there..." she pointed towards the Tokyo Hilton, "I'll be right back." She jumped to the roof top and ran smack dab right into Sailors Venus and Jupiter.
"Crescent Beam!" Xander had followed the Daemon Mailer on to the roof and was in time to see Sailor Venus signature attack. The beam of energy hit the Youma in the chest and burned a hole in her. Xander saw that the hole didn't regenerate.
'Hmm, energy attacks. I can do that.' He ran from the edge of the roof as Sailor Jupiter fired off a lightning bolt. The Youma dodged into Xander's path. He jumped over the Youma and fired three shots into her head. The shots obliterated the head and the Youma dissipated right after that. Xander could have sworn that there was a look of sadness and betrayal on her face before she dissolved..
"Wow. That is some kind of Laser pistol. Say do you have a girlfriend? Do you want one? My name's Minako? What's yours?"
Xander was saved from answering any of these questions by the arrival of Harry and Joyce who had jumped up to the roof from the third floor window. "Harry we have to get to the Hilton. The Youma was going there to join her boss. She may be after Dana?"
"No, not my Dana." A look of rage appeared on Harry's face as he ran towards the edge of the roof and easily jumped across.
"Wow. What a hunk. Mine." Makoto told Minako.
"Yours." She agreed. She had her eyes on the younger and much more handsome young man; they both recognized the blonde woman from last week as she passed them by and jumped after their men. "After them, they're getting away." Minako yelled and followed behind Joyce. Makoto followed her lead.
Gibs and Helen burst onto the roof as Jupiter sailed over the street below to the other side. "Does everyone have these crazy super powers?" Gibs asked Helen.
Helen looked down to the street four floors below, "No way I need to find out that badly. Faisal bring the Van to the front." She ran back to the elevator with Gibs behind her.
"I'll be right there when you hit the street. Move it."
"We're on our way." She replied as the elevator closed behind her and Gibs.
