Part 58

In a very expensive private conference hall a group of business men and women met. They did so often and few worried about them as they always came out with proposals from their various enterprises to fund some charity or another. The amounts spent was often more than most small cities would spend on a yearly budget so it was a given that they would not be interrupted nor would anyone believe they were up to anything other than helping humanity.

The group was eating a rather expensive meal as the presentation was made. The events being listed made most smile as they considered the chaos their followers would inflict on various nations many who had held the Fatherland back or had in someway hindered it. Many smiled as they watched the plans knowing full well that there was no way they could be blamed for the explosions that would soon occur. One of the best things about the situation was there would be a high body count and none would ever suspect they had paid for it and carefully chosen the various targets. It was wonderful to have such foolish pawns especially when one considered they were really no better than those they attacked and in time would be ended just as ruthlessly and with just as much efficiency. However for now the fanatical terrorist who claimed holy jihad would be useful in distracting the so called authorities from their true goal the elimination of the leaders of various communities.

"So Herr George when are the attacks to begin?" Asked Herr Smith the Anglo names hiding their true names as wielding them would not have been useful after the war.

"Today, even as our glorious leader works on his plans in the United States we shall work here. It is vital that the world authorities not have time to help. Distrust and confusion must be sown as far and wide as possible. It is vital that each of our areas of opportunity be hit and hit hard. While our pawns will do much of the work we must help. We must appear to be caring and concerned while we weave the deceit and mistrust among our political allies. Hate must be carefully cultivated so that those we would use do not even seen it forming. Our leader wishes the public to hate and fear soon we will isolate our enemies once more and the public will see having them in their immediate area is a death sentence. They will of course soon be shouting that the "Jews" have a homeland and they should all be sent back there. When they are all there we can end them once and for all."

The conference room broke out in cheers and none that thought they knew these leaders would have believed the glee and happiness the thoughts of ending the Jews would bring them. After all they were all humanitarians.

The demons who were watching the situation smiled. Humans like these were so entertaining. These were the beings the slayers fought and died for. It seemed that to the demons they were far more evil as they betrayed their own. However since it brought the end of the world closer and that meant they would soon rule none spoke out. They merely listened and gathered intelligence for their master.

Cccccccccccccccccc

The explosion rocked L.A. the local community center was nothing more now than a burned out hole. The Fire department raced to contain the blaze even as the FBI and ATF arrived on the scene. There would be few survivors and Agent Don Eppes burned with rage. While he was not overly religious or overly overt in his outward appearances he was a Jew and seeing this building burn and the survivors stumble around burned and dying enraged him. He ran from his car to see if he could help his brother Charlie on his heels with his father Alan looking devastated.

"Dad see if you can find out how many people were inside." Don shouted while normally this should be done by officials Don knew his Dad had contacts here they often dealt with refugees and might be more inclined to speak to him then government officials like the FBI as some were not here legally. At the moment Don did not care about that only about ensuring they had an accurate accounting of who to look for.

Charlie moved to help with the wounded. He might not be a doctor in the medical sense but he had a lot of first aid training and was more than willing to employ it. In recent years it had seemed wise to become a skilled EMT though he rarely used it. As he moved to help his mind raced over the possible equations to figure out what kind of bombs were used and where they had been placed to cause such devastation. They would catch the bastards that did this. His rage burned and not for the first time his mind wondered why so many of the world's people hated his as all they ever did was try to help humanity?

NNNNNNNNN

The news of the explosions hit the teams hard. NCIS and the SWC were helpless as differing cities were hit. Many in the United States and just as many overseas, it was clearly an all out attack and it did not help when the computer screen flashed with totals showing the points the demons were racking up.

Buffy watched and raged. Talia and Ziva had to stop her from running out and slaughtering the nearest demon bars. Running out and attacking blindly was just what the evil ones wanted. It would make picking them off all too easy. That was made clear when Willow suddenly bent over in pain as several slayers died.

Hana did not care that this was probably a set up. She did not care that the demons were likely waiting in ambush. All she cared about was seeing her family dead. She saw the EMT's and Firemen carrying out the bodies of her Mother and Father her little brother her Nana and Papa. They had survived Hitler only to be killed in a place they thought was safe. She saw the NAZI symbols painted around the building along with the demon ones. She knew they were taunting the slayers. She did not care. Her partner Nala tried to stop her but in the end she followed and joined her as she kicked in the door of the worst local demon bar. This according to the information they found was where the local points were confirmed. They charged in and began to kill demons without mercy. Of course they had been set up and two slayers no matter how good would never be able to survive hundreds. Twenty minutes into the fight Nala and Hana fell to the overwhelming numbers and a vampire named Damon claimed the points and the distinction of being the first vampire in over a century to kill two slayers even if they were not called ones.

"Buffy we lost two slayers." Willow said.

Buffy nodded and tears flowed the demons would pay. Hana and Nala were both very good but they were as hotheaded and impulsive and she and Faith had been back in the day or worse. Even Nala who was thoughtful and kind would never let her partner head into a fight alone even if she knew it was a trap. More than once they had charged in and won the day but even slayers could fall given overwhelming numbers. When ones family was involved logic failed. She could not fault Hana if what they learned was true. How many times had she raced to save Dawn or avenge a friend or family? Too many and she would not fault them for their very human reactions. After all it was emotions that kept a slayer alive and sadly it was also emotions that ended them. She looked at Dawn and remembered Glory and knew Hana was just like her in that. Rest in peace my slayers you will be avenged. She might not charge in but she would get even. All the slayers were hers and no one killed her slayers without paying for it.

Ccccccccccccc

Ari dropped the motor bike off and took the cash. Selling it would buy him a ticket home he hoped. He drank the water it was tepid but the best tasting thing he had ever had. He set it down and pulled on the clean outfit grateful that the man whom he sold the bike to allowed him to clean up and provided clothing so he could better fit in. He had no idea he had been recognized and that the man Yanni was helping the man many of his people considered their prince. It was not openly spoke of but Ari mother's family had come from royalty from the ancient times. It was why they fought so hard to defend the people and many respected that. The elders helped when they could and seeing Ari alive would soon spread and bring hope back to a war wary people who now thought their savior was back. He dressed and headed to find a contact who with luck could get him a passport and transportation to his sister. If any in his family would listen it would be Ziva. Ziva would help him and he would find his angel. He had to believe that. She needed him and he would find her and help her.

Callen watched in horror as the tv screens lit up with the attacks. This is far worse than even he could imagine. He saw his friend Don directing the investigation in L.A. and deeply wished he could help. However for now he had to gather intelligence.

NNNnnnnnnnn

David Sinclair frowned as he found the burnt out business card. It saw SWC and he bagged it. He wondered what that agency was doing here? It was shadowed and rumored to have a shoot first ask questions later attitude and it always claimed classified. If they were here then he wanted answers. He went to show the card to Don. This could be important. If the SWC was involved this time they would go down and down hard. It was as if they had gone off the rails with the latest bolos out on their leaders. He was beginning to believe they had gone dark.

The demon watched and smiled one more thing to cast showdowns on their enemies. It was good.

Part 59 Billing NCIS

Dean listened and watched. He was so not the sit tight and gather information type. He was more lets go kick demon ass type. Yes he would sit and listen to Sammy sometimes if he needed info on how to end a demon but this crap was for the birds. He slipped out and away and decided enough was enough he had demon ass to kick. He loved his family and he would keep them safe. He walked with care and took the steps knowing that while they were watched most people used the elevators. He knew of a local demon pub and he needed information. Dean would get it and kick some as to relieve tension as well. The others were the big brains and thinkers however sometimes they overdid it. What was needed was to remind the demons they had hunters out there to kick ass. Ten minutes later he was pulling the Impala out of the parking lot and heading to the pub smiling it seemed he had back up after all. Enough of this crap of letting the demons rack up kills and laugh at them it was past time to even the score a bit. He raced down the road Metallica blaring on his speaker Lord it felt good to get away from those damned Feds.

Sara went to the rest room she had spotted Dean slip out. She grinned she hated being kept in the dark and being protected. Hell she had a score to settle herself. When no one was looking she slipped out and into the elevator emerging and joining Dean as he headed for his car with a grin she said "Shot Gun."

He would have protested but he knew she could easily derail his runner so instead he said. "Your carriage awaits my lady. Let's find some demon ass to kick."

Sara giggled and let him lead her to his car. It was a cool one. She always liked classic American muscle cars.

"Nice ride."

Dean smirked the Impala was his baby and anyone who liked it was ok in his books.
"She's saved our asses a lot. Come on lets go before the families figure we did a runner."

"You know Tim's going to think you seduced me." Sara teased.

"Well who says I won't when we are done with this mission." Dean said flirting back.

"Promises promises, we will see only if you are good." Sara replied.

"Oh baby I am good when I am bad." Dean quipped.

It was so corny a line that Sara was laughing even as she put on her seat belt not a moment too soon as Dean sped out.

"Gibbs I have the information from the FBI." Abbey said a friend of hers had mailed it to her warning her of the possible connection to the SWC.

"What information?" Gibbs asked eager for any clue to follow.

"David sent us an email they found an SWC card at the center. Gibbs this smells of set up like with Buffy and Faith someone wants the authorities to blame them for the violence."

"That does make sense." Faith said. Everyone looked at her wondering what she was thinking. "Look B and me we don't exactly have clear records. Yes they were supposed to be sealed and expunged and classified but someone broken that seal. You found the information on us and I am betting other law men will too. Given the level of violence many may take a shoot first ask questions later attitude if they don't get we got immunity or don't care."

"Faith has a point but even so we need to get out there and start kicking over some rocks. We need to fight back. We got the families covered they will be safe here. Dawn and Sara can help coordinate the searches. Hey were is Sara and Dean?" Buffy asked. "Maybe we can have Dean and Sam help protect them while calling some of their contacts."

"She went to the bathroom Buffy." Dawn explained but that was like fifteen minutes ago. "Hey where did Dean go?"

They all looked around and Sam sighed his brother left without him. 'He was so going to kill him. Not to mention if he was right he taken the girl.' He looked up and saw Tim McGee did not look happy. 'Damn Dean you sure stepped in it now.'

"Dean may have stepped out for a smoke?" He said knowing full well he had stopped smoking a while ago.

John gave his youngest son a hard look and Sam looked away. He would try to buy his brother sometime.

"If I know my eldest he slipped out to find some intell. He's not one to sit around and plan."

"So a chip off the old block then?" Gibbs said clearly not happy Dean took Sara with him.

"Boss he took Sara." Tim said.

"Probie I think your sis took him. Hell he'd be a fool to…ah." Tim's dark look and Gibbs head slapping him stopped him from inserting his foot further into his mouth.

"Well regardless we need to find them."Giles said. "Not to mention they are right. "Buffy Faith you need to head out to find some information. I do believe there is a branch of Willie's here."

"Yep, there is G. Me and Boy Toy visited last time we were here. Nostaliga and all that stuff, what I cannot be homesick for Sunny Hell once and a while, I mean it was the first hell mouth we sunk." Faith said.

Buffy rolled her eyes and got it. She did Hell she found herself visiting various Willies once and a while for olds times sake. It was kind of ridiculous that the run down taverns and pubs felt like home but….well one took what one could get. Not to mention Willie's family was always good for news and clear intelligence. Like Spike said back in the day some demons wanted the world to keep spinning even if humans were happy meals on legs to them. Willie and his clan were one such though he was relatively harmless unless you were stupid enough to drink or eat in his place as one never knew what one would be served and food poisoning was always a possibility and not because they wanted to end slayers as such but because such delicacies in the demon world were often lethal to humans.

"Ok Faith you and Xander got Willies. Dawn keep looking for connections please. I need your computer skills now more than your fighting ones. Without intelligence we are flying blind."

"Sure Buffy will do maybe Tim and Abbey can help me?" Dawn said hoping for some bonding time.

Tim would have protested but he could see Buffy wanted Dawn safe. He was torn Sara was out there with a man he did not know or trust who was heading into danger.

"Sara's my sister too Tim and I will bring her back." Buffy said.

"I'm going with you. I have some idea where Dean might go for intell. You need me." Sam said."

"Ok lets go but it's my ride I am driving." Buffy said. "I'll drop you all off at Willies on the way."

Sam sighed and nodded sometimes he wished he had his own car maybe when this was all done he see about getting one.

Dean and Sara headed into the Dark Mark and Sara grinned at the name and logo. "I wonder why JKR is not suing them?"

"Well maybe because it's a hole in the wall most humans cannot see." Dean said with a grin.

"Hey I pay royalties I do. I'm evil not stupid." The bar tender said not being dumb enough to go against the author who employed some of the best demon lawyers in the world. "She's me partner she is. She gets 20 percent of the take in an honest contract. I mean I need some edge given Willies is all over the damned place the bastards almost corned the market kind of like Starbuck for coffee."

Sara looked a bit shocked at that until she saw the autographed pictures on the wall. Who knew demons were fan boys of Harry Potter. It did make sense though having a unique product line and brand helped.

"Well ok then sorry to have implied otherwise." Dean said. "We just figured so important a demon not bother with stuff like that."

"No worries Mister. So what can I get you and your lady today?" The demon asked.

"We just are looking for some entertainment. We heard there's a new game in town. Me and the Mrs. are braken decent and are looking for some fun."

Sara glared at Dean but played along twisting her ring so it looked like a wedding band.

"Well I'm not a seller of the game. My partner did not like the idea of it. But I can help connect you. For the right price of course if you are interested, I can contact an agent of the game and have them here in two shakes."

"Yeah we are." Sara said pulling out a wad of cash surprising Dean.

"See the Mrs. Always prepared she is."

"That's a good trait in a lady." The barkeep owner said as he went to pick up the phone to make contact.

"What I had to pay tuition today and get my books they are not cheap and I prefer cash to cards." She said. "We can always bill NCIS later."

Dean grinned at that liking the idea of the government paying for this hunt.

Part 60

The bombs began to go off all across the cities of the world. Two in Europe and several in the Middle East where sadly car bombings were becoming the norm for a war weary population. It was because of this semi normal event that the immediate connection of the bombers was not seen. At first no one claimed to be responsible for he attacks. Over fifty people died as busses and cars exploded. The score boards on the demon games lit up with points as one of the locations attacked was a preschool. As the NCIS and SWC were working on how to prevent one attack they knew was coming in the United States the Demons had been active and took out several key targets including a bus carrying students from the local SWC school. This bus also had students from several other schools as it had been a planned joint trip to help the slayers and witches of the academy socialize with the very people they would one day risk their lives to protect. It was this event that clued NCIS into the fact that it was not random and that if was not by any means a typical attack.

An agent came in looking pale and upset. "Director Vance we have some bad news."

The director of NCIS rose and went to take the memo as he read it he immediately rose. "Everyone we need to go to MTAC. This is even more of a nightmare then we imagined."

Both teams and their connections all headed upstairs the director not caring about security as he had a feeling he would need this entire groups support to survive this and to catch the people or beings responsible and for once he was pushing protocols and procedures into the hand basket. They had to stop this before it dragged the world into another world war.

Buffy was pissed. These bombings and the killings all aimed at making the SWC look like terrorist and it was all for a game. A game that was designed to take out the world's protectors and usher in the end times, well not on her watch. While the second round of bombings effects had to be assessed she would leave that to Giles and the NCIS people. She was heading out. With Faith, Xander and Sam checking out Willies she had to find Dean and Sara. She knew Tim was protecting Dawn because he felt he was not really equipped to take on demons. However she was under no illusions that her brother would stay put if he felt she was leaving Sara hanging. So she'd find them quickly. It was a tight fit but they all managed and it was only a two block drive to Willies. She grinned as Xander scrambled out of the car. Faith winked at her and headed in. She clearly had fun sitting on Xander's lap. Buffy wondered if they were going to end up together or what? Once the three were out of her hair she took off. She wanted to talk to Sara and Dean and alone be best. Years spent keeping Dawn out of trouble were now going to come in handy. Buffy also had a feeling that Dean would do better talking to the elder sibling someone used to keeping the younger out of trouble. She sent a silent prayer that she would find them safe and secure and perhaps if she was lucky they would have information to end this sick game and bring peace to the world.

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

When the demon came in with the information on the game it was all Dean could do not to pull out the colt and shoot it dead on the spot. Instead he smiled and listened to the spiel on how to buy in and the odds of winning. Sara listened and could feel Dean tense she took his hand to keep him calm. They needed information and locations losing it and killing this slime would not help even if she longed to rip its horns off and shove it where the sun don't shine.

Ari managed to find his way to the airport and catch a flight to the United States soon he would find his angel. He closed his eye and slept for the first time in years feeling safe and secure. He had to make it to Ziva she had to know that the war they had all been fighting for over 75 years was a set up. A set up to destroy both the Jews and Arabs and to plunge the world into hell, he was a loyal Son of Islam and he believed in the prophet but he would not let someone twist his religion and his beliefs any further. He had issues with Israel and he was angry at their high handed handling of his people's concerns but given what he had learned during his captivity he would stand and fight with them to defeat the demons and secure both their people's future. He was for the very first time beginning to think that it would take both nations and both religions to make the world a safe a secure place for their children. He was done being a monster and he prayed to Allah for forgiveness for all his sins and he swore he would make things right.

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

The news crews in Israel were having a feel day when they learned the director of the Mossad was out of the country while their nation was being bombed.

The Deputy Director of Mossad Ilan Bodnar faced the reporters and waited for the reporters to begin their questions. He really did not want to have to take them he would rather be out helping catch the criminals responsible for the attacks but his people needed reassurance.

"Why is the director out of the country surely he should be here coordinating our defenses." one shouted.

She sighed and looked at the reporter giving him a hard look. "The Director is in the United States on a conference on counter terrorism and visiting his Daughter whom he has not seen in over a year. This was a working vacation for the director. We have the best and brightest guarding our nation however even with our best efforts there are some evil beings out there that have no love or care for any innocents. The people who died today were young and old and they were Jew, Muslim, Christian, young or old and innocent in all ways. Whoever set these bombs did not care they cared only to kill. We must all seek to stop such useless violence."

"So the Director off visiting his child while ours are murdered?" Another reporter asked.

The deputy director gave that reporter a dark look. "Director David has not taken a day off in over ten years. He has sacrificed two of his children in the service of our nation and his remaining Daughter acts as an Agent Liaison with the NCIS in the United States. His youngest daughter was murdered by terrorists in a bombing when she was only 12 years old and his son died hunting Haamas and his wife died alone while he was on an operation taking down another terrorist cell. So I would hardly say his attending a high level meeting is wrong, nor is his taking an hour off to have lunch with his only remaining family. Unless of course you expect him to have absolutely no life whatsoever besides guarding our nations a task he and his family have done since before we were a nation."

The reporter had the grace to look a little ashamed.

Mossad Deputy Director Ilan Bodnar then went on to explain what they had learned so far in the investigation as well as appealing to the public to offer any assistance they could. He was determined to stop these terrorists and secure his nations safety. He loved Eli like a father and no one was going to slander him. Ilan also promised himself he would strangle Ziva at least metaphoric sense for hurting her father with her rejection of him and their nation. She rejected the love of one of the best man he had ever known and he wanted to shake her. However he had to stop the fires of destruction first.

Xxxxxxxxxxxx

Buffy headed out to the Dark Mark to see if they knew anything. She had a feeling that Willy would not allow his bars or taverns to be used for the games. He was a Demon but he did have his own kind of code. While he might not be the most moral being out there she had developed a rather decent report with him over the years and she trusted him to at least not be involved in this if for no other reason than self preservation. In a strange way Willy was almost family, that relative you knew you had but really hated to admit was family. They were bastards but your bastards so she was guessing the games would be run out of the other demon bars. While she did not think the Dark Mark be running the game she knew many who bought into that franchise did so because they did not want to be hemmed in thinking that being partners with a human who was famous would save them from the slayers and hunters, who went after demons who killed people. They often pretended to be innocent but she knew that the lawyers who set the contracts were part of Wolf Ram and Hart and that meant the clients were not white hats. She headed inside the bar and sure enough she spotted Dean and Sara chatting with someone about the game.

She moved with lightning speed when she spotted the demon who was running the game pull a gun. A stake was pulled and thrown through its hand in less than ten seconds.

Dean spun around and pulled out a pistol shocked at the sudden attack.

"You know Dean if you are going to take my little sis out for a date you really should take her to a nicer place and gambling on our lives so not cool." Buffy said as she jumped in and quickly knocked out the demons. "Plus this cover of yours so sucks I mean if you all had real money to gamble with you would not be driving such a piece of crap car."

Dean glared but could tell Buffy was merely punishing him with words for nearly getting Sara eaten. It was not until the demon pulled the gun that he realized it was a set up. The demon had sold them out.

"Hey I did not have a choice. If I crossed the game master I'm dead."

"Yeah well selling out my sister and her new boy toy not exactly a way to end up on the Council's Christmas card list, it is a way to get on my shit list though."She caught the demon by the throat and said. "You have one chance to maybe die quick. Start talking."

He squirmed and tried to pull away. Buffy promptly staked his other hand. He was pinned and had no option but to begin talking.

Buffy listened and the more she heard the more angry she became. "We need to call Gibbs and Giles they need to know what is going on."

"Yeah think?" Dean said not quite believing what he had heard. This was going to be insane.

Part 61

The Yellow Eyed demon sighed with annoyance. It was so hard to get good help these days. He was pleased with the set up of the various agents and the proposed attack the various Jewish centers. It would bring his followers out into the open which was going to remind the world that there were forces out there that did not bow down to the ideals of equality and fairness. Power was all that mattered and some beings were indeed the elite and set to rule. They had spent over 75 years breeding the perfect subjects. Yes it had been at a slower rate than planned as Hitler and his nation had been crushed but the former Easter Europe had proved to be a fertile breeding ground for his designer humans. The nuclear mistakes had bred stronger people eliminating the weak and infirm. He smiled at his troopers soon to be unleashed in Europe hiding in plain sight. It was going to be quite the shock when they took over. He grinned as he watched the various celebrations. Fools enjoy the celebrations while you can soon you will all be a my mercy when my people claim the leadership of your nations.

dddddddddd

It had taken him over 36 hour to arrive but Ari plane landed outside of Washington D.C. and he grabbed a car at Avis. He headed toward the bar his informant said to go to. He had to save his family. He saw a flash in his mind the sign was a bar. He quickly punched it into the cars GPS he had family to save. He shook his head clear as he saw a woman with golden hair protecting someone he felt he should know. The way the man stood it reminded him of his Aba. I wonder if he is a brother If he was he was so going to shoot Eli. A brother would have been great growing up how many times had Talia and Ziva made him play tea party? He pulled himself back from the vision and put the keys in the car and backed out racing to the place to save the man. He would get answers and maybe this guy would lead him to Ziva. A voice in his head said hurry his golden Angel needed him.

Buffy glared at the demons this was not going to be simple or easy. She could not believe that the place was suddenly packed with demons. What the hell did the bastard have some sort of panic button on him? She so could not catch a break with this crap. She moved to hold him as a shield to protect her sister Sara and Dean not that the hunter seemed to appreciate her efforts.

"Back off short stuff I got this." Dean said. "I so don't need a body guard besides you are too small to cover us."

"You know Dean someone should really teach you manners. Short, pot calling kettle," Buffy said glaring. "I mean you are not exactly a giant. If I had the time I would head smack you. Not that that move worked on Tony all that well."

Sara giggled and pulled out a rather large flash light from her bag. "What it's better than no weapon. You know it might knock sense into Dean but he does have a hard head."

"I swear someone hates me." Buffy said. "One little sister is crazy enough. What did I do to deserve two? Then there captain stupid over there. I mean if he gets hurt Willow will be mad and we cannot have my best friend mad it never goes well. I mean I don't bake and she would expect cookies for not keeping you out of trouble."

"Willow, as in Willow Rosenberg what does the Red Witch have to do with this?" The demon asked. He suddenly seemed worried even with all his allies backing him up. He inched away Willow was well known in the demon world and making her angry was almost as bad as pissing the Queen of the slayers off no scratch that it was worse as Willow would skin you alive. She had skinned Warren Myers alive and that had impressed even the demon world. Buffy was merciful and ended those who threatened her loved ones fast Willow might choose to make it hurt a while and that scared even the bravest demon.

"Willow's my cousin. My baby cousin and she's a chip off the old block. I hear she kicks demon ass." Dean said with a smirk as he head slapped the demon Sara rolled her eyes. Leave it to Dean to pick up one of Gibbs annoying moves though she had to admit the demon deserved it for being an idiot. In a lot a ways he reminded her of Tony but he was slightly more mature and a lot hotter. Oh… yeah get your mind on business Sara. She thought as she clubbed a demon in the hand for trying to grab her. "Hey hands off."

Dean raised his weapon and fired shooting the demon in the face. He had enough of this standoff bullshit. He was so tired of demons and other supernatural beings messing with humanity. He said a silent prayer not certain God was listening but it never hurt. 'Please help us.'

Even as he said the prayer he got ready to fight his way out. The doors suddenly burst open. A tall male walked in his coat billowing. "Demon back off. These humans are mine to protect. I am not letting you hurt them."

Buffy looked up and could so not believe this. The guy had to be close to six four or five and he moved like a fighter. He made Angel seem like a wimp and he had a commanding presence that made even her sit up and take notice. Not to mention piss her off because Hello she so did not need someone to defend her. She was no damned damsel in distress. "Well I'd be glad of the help but we do have this covered, Queen Slayer here and I so don't need someone claiming me and saving me."

Ari looked at her and smiled. "I say even you my lady would have your hands full. What is it you Americans say ah yes "Dibbs" I am claiming you."

The demons all froze shocked at this. What was with these humans they had to be all crazy? They were outnumbered three to one or more and they were snarking at each other? Several backed up because crazy humans could be dangerous and unpredictable.

Dean began to laugh he so could not believe this. The guy who just burst in was holding a sword in his hands and looked like he knew how to use it. Across his back was a 12 gage shotgun and he had two rather large pistols one on each leg and a dagger in each boot. OK he looked ready for war. "So you with us or them?" He pointed at the demons.

Ari gave him a look to say are you really that stupid?

"Hate to say it but Dean has a point I mean are you human?" Sara asked. Clearly hoping the answer was yes and this guy was there to help.

"I don't know about that but I hate demons who hurt innocents so I'd say I am on the side of Angels."

Dean winced at that response but decided it had to do. "Ok so we kicking demon ass or chatting and setting down to crochet?"

"Hey if you are taking orders I could so use a nice green scarf." Buffy joked.

The demons decided the humans had conversed long enough and attacked. Buffy ducked low and staked a vampire in full game face. She suddenly realized the bar had to have that special glass Wolf Ram and Hart had used. 'Damn this sucks.'
