Obi-Wan and Buffy continued walking down the soot encrusted corridor, trying to hurry yet being careful to look for anything that could be a trap on the ground and even in the walls and roof. Buffy refused to tell Obi-Wan what sort of traps she was looking for, as she said it would 'tempt Murphy,' whoever or whatever that was.
Eventually they came to the fireball which had rolled to a stop in the middle of the passageway.

"You have got to be kidding me! No one is that unlucky!" Buffy whined and ran over to kick the still smoldering rock which hissed but didn't move. She then shone her light onto her boot and twisted her mouth in disgust on seeing her new boot had gained a burn hole in the toe.

As Obi-Wan was looking confused she explained. "Remember me telling you Andrew had fell down a hole? Take a freakin guess where the entrance is... under the fiery Rock of Doom."she rolled her eyes with exasperation. "It chased us all the way down the passageway, misses us and comes to a stop right in that spot? Wish I'd a pair of oven gloves so I could..."
She stopped ranting and watched, fascinated, as Obi-Wan lifted the rock slightly using his force powers and moved it further along the passage.

"Nice one Ubi-Doo, I've got to say I'm impressed with you tonight, you've shown some real fancy skills." She looked up to see him smiling bashfully at her praise. "Of course I could have used Slayer power for the rock rolling but you've saved me nail breakage which is definitely of the good. " She looked down at her nails, all encrusted with dirt and split through her climb out the pit and grimaced. "I need a manicure, Do you think Nick Fury would give me some credits to go?"

Obi-Wan smirked, "Nick Fury would give you credits to go.. away, you have no problem there Buffy."

"Ha ha, very funny Oh-Be-Forceful-One. Now make yourself extra useful and find something to tie that rope to so we can lower ourselves down the hole and find Andrew."

After dropping down the hole into the cavern below Obi-Wan realized that Buffy was correct this must be the remains of the old Sith Temple. There were huge columns of stone, strange carved statues and on the walls odd writing that he could not translate. The Force felt strange here too, not exactly dark but very murky.

"What do you sense?" he asked her. Despite the strange surroundings Buffy looked more relaxed than she often did above ground, and he remembered what she'd said about searching in the underworld being a regular occurrence on her world.

"That Andrew has freakin' wandered off when I told him not to!" snarked Buffy, flashing her torch around the cavernous space and failing to see the blonde boy.

"I meant if you could feel the 'hellmouth buzz' with your spidey senses but I agree, finding Andrew is more important. Do you believe he's gone off to explore?"

"How Andrew's brain works is a mystery to me, so I'm not even going make a guess," replied Buffy. "But the hellmouthy type buzz is still here, buzzing away. I reckon the place is full of your dark Sithy stuff. It's stronger in that direction so let's see if we can find Andrew down there, if there is one thing I can say about Andrew it's he gets drawn to trouble."

Obi-Wan followed her warily through the Sith temple. As all Jedi were from an early age he'd been trained to use the living force to sense and gauge his surroundings but now found he was unable to do so. Something tainted the Force in here, something darkly evil, and instinctively he recoiled from it. Instead he found himself watching Buffy, who'd an odd look about her, almost like a predator hunting down it's prey and he wondered again at the odd sort of life she must have led before she came to his dimension. Not only did she have an unusual affinity with the Dark Side of the Force but she seemed to be able to actively hunt it's creatures down from within it. Oddly enough it no longer worried him but instead made him trust her more.

She stopped suddenly, causing him to almost walk into her. "I hear something, something rattling," she whispered and nodded in the direction they were traveling. "It's down there, through the archway and down those steps in front of us and that's where the buzz is coming from. Get ready to light up your Mr Sparkly."

"It's Flash," said Obi-Wan, giving her a quick, slightly embarrassed look.

"Huh?"

"My lightsaber is called Flash," he replied, and then grinned more broadly.

"You told me lightsabers don't have names!" Buffy huffed. "You said I was weird naming mine."

"Well, you are weird," he replied. "It's not normal to go round telling people your lightsaber has a name, normally it's a private thing. Now what were you saying about a buzzing from the archway?"

She rolled her eyes, and not bothering to answer him darted to the the archway. She stood for a moment with her back pressed against the stone arch before shining her lamp down into the chamber below her. Whatever she saw down there caused her to ignite her lightsaber and, holding it upright, leapt down into the chamber.
A moment later he was also at the archway looking down at the heart stopping, vile sight playing out below him before he too ignited his lightsaber, and leapt to join her in the fray.

Buffy was shouting and battling with, what he could only assume were, decaying corpses. Most seemed to have been human while alive, although now they were little more than withered corpses, strips of decaying flesh grotesquely swung from their faces as they swarmed towards Buffy. Their bodies held together by little more than sinews, old armor and shredded clothing, yet each and every one of them came armed with a lightsaber which they used with frightening familiarity.

Obi-Wan fought his way through the horrific creatures to Buffy, and then spun round to fight back to back with her.

"Are they vampires?" he shouted, thrusting his lightsaber through first one corpse and then another, they continued fighting despite the holes through their chests.

"Nope, just stinky zombie things. Cut their heads off, if you can. Otherwise disarm them. Get it? Dis-arm them," she called back, and laughed as she lopped the saber carrying arm off one of the corpses before beheading it.

Obi-Wan who was blocking the lightsaber attacks from several particularly aggressive zombies, groaned. He managed to behead first one and then a second before taking a hit to his own arm, luckily he'd blocked most of it and he continued fighting the three opponents in front of him.

And then Buffy was besides him, shouting and attacking the three remaining creatures with evident glee.
"You all stink! Most demons smell better than you lot do! And look at your teeth! " she called to one whose teeth were dark yellow and twisted towards the center of its mouth, waving her red lightsaber at it as she did so. "What's with you lot and the gross teeth in this dimension?"

As Obi-Wan took the head off the zombie closest to him he wondered if Buffy knew she was using a dark force mind power whilst taunting her enemies. For the dark force swirled around the Slayer empowering her as she taunted and intimidated her enemies before slicing them through with her glowing weapon. He found himself standing, watching enthralled, as the darkness embraced her, flowed through her and become something lighter and cleaner as the last of the zombies died beneath her red blade.

They stood there together in that moment of peace after a battle, red and blue lightsabers raised high, while they looked around them scanning the shadows for movement.

"I'm unable to sense anything." said Obi-Wan. "But these are definitely creatures from the Dark side of the Force, all feels murky to me here and quite indistinct. What do your Slayer senses tell you?"

"I think the Zombie Creepers in this section are all slain now," she kicked one with her boot and watched, as it and it's lightsaber crumbled into dust. "But I'd really like to know where Andrew's got to."
