Armageddon

Castle

Buffy was just thrown into hell. The gang gasped. She was in the flames. She screamed.

"Buffy!" Xander screamed, as did the others.

Algaterth stood in front of the flames. "It will take time to break her." He said "Report to me when you are ready to come to this realm."

He then turned to the gang. He moved his hands in a motion. They flew out of the castle.

"Telekinesis!" Willow said, "I should have known."

"No you shouldn't have." Giles tried to comfort her. "I should have."

"No it was I...." Willow said.

"Damn it, guys" Xander said. "Buffy has gone to hell. Do you guys care?"

"Yes," Giles said, "it will take time to kill her. Her essence will be broke down."

"And how long will that be." Anya asked.

"It will take awhile a day or two." He said "then we have to get her out as soon as possible." Xander said.

"But with what help?" Tara asked.

"Angel," Willow said.

"Right lets call him," Xander said, "Yeah right."

"I will call him." Willow said picking up the phone. "Cordelia? Is Angel there? Huh? Ok? Bye, bye"

"What is it?" Xander asked.

"Angel is having some issues." She said, "He can't help."

"Damn and I was depending on him," Xander added "Not!"

"So what now?" Spike said.
"I don't know?" Giles said.

"We rush them now!" Anya said. "Oh but the killing thing no bad idea."

"No that may be the best one yet." Giles said.

"Then we go now?" Xander asked.

"No not yet." Giles said "Tomorrow."

The next day, daylight did not come. The sky was purple. It looked like flames in the clouds. Natural phenomena the newscasters said. It was evil. Thunder clapped all day.

Buffy's home

Dawn wondered when her sister was coming home. It was late in the afternoon. Dad had given the ok to stay home, if they wanted.

"Honey?" Hank asked when he entered her room.

"Yes dad?" she said

"Is Buffy home?" he asked

"No she came in and left back out. For school she didn't want to stay home today." She covered for her sister. Another Scooby cover up. She pondered when she would get into the gang. Slay a vampire.

"Ok," he said walking towards the door. "Honey, if you want to talk I am here?"

"Ok dad," she said, "I have a question."

"What is it?"

"When are you making breakfast?" she asked

He giggled, "Is that all?"

"No it was a joke haha. My real question is did you love mom?"

"Yes, a lot actually." He added.

"Then why did you guys leave each other?" she said "I bet you must feel like crap now. After she is dead you to never really fully made up, did you?"

"Not really." He said bursting into tears. She patted his back and let him lay on her bed.
"Daddy," she said

"Hey," Willow said sadly.

"Hey," Spike said.

"What are you doing here?" she asked.

"No daylight." He answered. "This Armageddon thing is working out for us vamps, ya know."

"Ok," she added.

The gang was assembled. "Ready to go save the buffster?" Xander asked.

"Yeah lets move out." Anya said.

Castle

The gang burst in. they were scared, very scared. They went to the main room. The gate to hell was still open. They could see Buffy floating in hell. Being held down by the forces of darkness.

"The spell," Giles whispered to Willow and Tara.

"Right," they began to chant.

The gateway to hell now held fourth a walkway. It led to her, the slayer.

"I'm going in," Spike hissed.

"No I am," Xander said

He pushed Spike out of the way and went along. Hands grabbed for him. He kicked them away. Algaterth was mad. Giles and Spike ransacked him. Willow and Tara still chanted. That was the only way to keep the stairway open.

Xander reached for her hand. She took it. He pulled her up. Safe and sound. They rushed for the ground. She tried to stand up. Weak, very weak. She fell to the ground. "I'm okay."

"I am happy." He said.

"Lets go," she said.

They nodded and headed out fast. Allgaterth cursed. They left out. He wasn't mad.

"Good, I was about to dispose of her anyway." A voice came from hell.

"Good!" he said, "When are you coming?"

"Soon!"

Magic box

Buffy sat, she was clearly drained.

"Buffy, are you ok?" Willow asked

"For the thousandth time I am okay!" she snapped. She then felt okay again. "Sorry,"

"It is okay," Willow said.

"You are drained," Giles said.

"He is coming," Buffy dazed off and said.

"Huh?" Xander said.

She snapped back. "Huh?"

"You snapped into crazy mode." He added.

"Oh I did what I say?" she asked.

"He will rise," Xander said "GRRR ARRGH"

"Oh," she said bursting into laughter. "I am so okay,"

"That is so great,"

"I am so ready to kick so ass," she said "Even though I ma weak I can get strong kicking ass is comfort food."

"So sunset," Giles said.

"Yeah," she said "But when is that?"

"The time around 6:30" Anya added.

"Okay so we have time to prepare." She said moving towards the back to were the weapons room.

"What weapons do we use to kill the first?" Anya asked.

"I don't know," she said "But Tara you are kind of the key figure here."

"M-me?" she asked a little fear in her voice.

"Yeah we are going to need magic to kick this bitch's ass back to wherever he comes from." She said.

Suddenly the front door blew off landing in the back were they were. "Whoa," Xander added.

They headed into the front. That is were Giles heart felt as if it were going to bleed. There stood the love of his life; Jenny Calendar. She strolled down towards them disappearing in mist as she walked along. "Death will come," she screamed "It will strike"

She suddenly burst to flames. "Slayer you will be tested."

"Giles," Buffy said taking his hands as Jenny left.

"It wasn't her." He said.

"I know it was bad." She said.

"Okay back to this death part. Who will die?" Xander asked.

"No one," she said.

Dawn entered. "Hey," she said

Buffy ran to her embracing her. "Hey,"

"Dad is sad." Dawn declared.

"Oh," she said then looking into her eyes. "Everyone is, I mean it is going to hurt him, more so than us. He knew her the longest."

Dawn nodded, and then went to hug Willow. "Hey, Dawnie,"

"Will," she said. She was the only one she could relate to.

"So we will meet back in a while." Buffy declared.

Her and Dawn left out. They had a hell of a fight coming up.

Buffy's home

She had made a little nibble for her and Dawn to eat while their dad went out. Dawn thought it taste terrible but it was all-good. She didn't have mom to cook and for god sakes dad only made good pancakes and they couldn't eat those all night.

"So, Dawn," Buffy said trying to make conversation.

"Huh?" Dawn said dazing in from mars.

"Yeah," she said "Look I fell bad about a lot of things now."

"I know like ditching us," Dawn said

"I didn't ditch you guys," Buffy said "I had to kill Angel and it hurt so bad."

"Oh," Dawn said "You could have came home,"

"She said if I walk out that door don't even think about coming back so I didn't." Buffy said

"Ok, past is past," Dawn, said, "What are we going to do about dad?"

"I don't know I have a big battle coming up tonight so I really don't know," Buffy said.

"Good luck," Dawn said

"Thanks," Buffy said

Buffy came in and headed for the training room. She worked out, she didn't want to really. Therefore, she washed her face. It was time for the big battle

"Guys," she asked, "Are you ready?"

"Ready as I'll ever be." Xander said "Or at least ready to die,"

"So we have big, big weapons?" Anya asked.

"Yeah, Anya," Buffy added, "Big weapons a must."

Giles entered ready for battle. He had a sword in his hands.

"Ooh look at you all ready for battle," Buffy said.

"Um yes I am," he said.

"Then lets go," she said moving out. The gang quickly followed.

Castle

Algaterth stood ready for anything. The wall began to open into flames. Tentacles spread out, long and lethal. The first appeared.

He was about fifteen feet in height. Tentacles sprout from his sides, it had to be ten. Five on each side. In width, he was about twenty feet. Very big. His eyes blood red.

"I am here," the first announced.

"Master," Algaterth said.

"Hell is coming," he said

"Yes," Algaterth said "But we need the slayer."

"She is here," the first said "I can fell it in my bones."

"Do you even have any?" Buffy asked kicking the door down.

The gang spread out ready for action. "Ok, Buff," Xander, said, "What do we do?"

"Guys get Algaterth," she said "I got big spooky over here."

She took her sword out of her side. She jumped for him ready for action.

The gang spread out around Algaterth. Crossbows in hand. Willow began to do a spell unleashing a basketball size fireball at him. Xander charged at him with an axe. He hit him hard and fast. Tara headed towards the wall and began to chant.

Algaterth pushed him across the room. Giles shot a bolt at his back. He backhands him knocking him out of the battle. As was Xander for the moment. Willow's fireballs were coming out of the air hitting him. He lunged at her knocking her to the ground. When she was on the ground, he took her head in his hands and smashed it on the ground. She was out cold. Spike fought at him kicking him in the groin. He choked Spike knocking him out.



It was clear as Buffy looked around at all of her friends who were out cold except for Tara who was still trying to the portal from getting larger. It was her battle through and through. She knew what she had to do. Slay!

She turned towards Algaterth. "Ready?" she asked

"For what?" he asked.

"War!" she said lunging for him sword in hand.

He smacked her in the face knocking her to the ground. From there, she got up kicking and punching with all her might. She took the sword and swiped his stomach with the blade. She then went to strike again. He blocked and stuck the sword into her stomach area.

"Low blow," she said taking it out of her stomach.

He charged for her knocking her out the window. They fell three stories down landing in the pond. Buffy was the first to rise. As did Algaterth a second later. He took her by the neck and began to drown her. She let go, she was going to die. She couldn't she had to fight. For what? Her mother was gone. Dawn! She had to fight for her, as it was her destiny.

She did all she could to fight from drowning. She lifted her head above the water. She took him by the neck. She tossed him upon dry land. She did a leap in the air very high. She landed in front of him lying on the ground. She kicked him making him fly to the wall. She jumped for him punching him in the nose. Backhanded him a few times. He pushed her to the ground.

"Little girl do you know what a slayer is?" he asked

A moment of silence arose. "Yeah," she said jumping to her feet. "This!"

With that was she at her best. She kicked him in the chest a few times and then to the groin. She did a furious roundhouse kick that met with his neck shattering it. He fell to the ground.

"That's a slayer," she added

She felt her stomach. The wound was gone. She was at that moment the slayer through and through. She did a leap so far in the air it felt as if she was flying. She landed through the broken window from which she fell through and saw that Tara was out cold. She glanced around to see that Giles, Spike, and Xander were back in the fighting arena.

"Guys," she said "This ones mine."

She did a leap in the air landing on his stomach area, which was big. "Giles!" she screamed, for she had left her sword in the water. He nodded and tossed her his. She caught it without looking. She began to stab and stab. He wasn't hurt. Clearly, he wasn't fighting yet. He was amused.

Xander and Giles walked toward the entrance to hell, which expanded. "Hell is here," Giles screamed at Xander.


"What do we do to stop it?" Xander asked.

"A human sacrifice." Giles stated, "I will go in."

"Not yet," Xander said, "Let's see if Buffy will win, if she does you don't have to."

"Yes you are right." Giles said.

Buffy slashed and slashed some more. Her sword broke. "I am getting tired of you slayer and fast." The first said. A tentacle slashed her in her back cutting the flesh. She fell to the ground.

He swiped her again in her face this time. Her forehead bled. Blood gushed down her face. He hit her again, she fell to the ground. dead?

Her body floated toward the entrance of hell. It entered. The thunder clapped hard. It woke up Willow and Tara.

"What do we do now?" Xander asked.

"I sacrifice myself," Giles said running towards the portal.

They all screamed no. No affect Giles knew what he must do. Nevertheless, Xander knew too.

He rushed for Giles and pushed him down. "You are the watcher, so watch after her! You are needed!" he rushed and jumped for the portal.

He landed in. Buffy flew out hitting the ground. She awoke mad. She looked at the fire. "Xander?" she turned to see the guys in an uproar. Anya was especially hurt for her and Xander were to be married.

She charged for the first. "Buffy!" Giles screamed. "No weapon can hurt it."

"Oh, so now you tell me!" she sneered.

She punched at the demon full force. "Didn't you listen to that man you poor fool, no weapon can hurt me." He pushed her back landing on the ground.

"I know a weapon." She said jumping in the air landing on him yet again. "Me!" she unleashed all she had. Punches, kicks, all she had to do to kill this thing. She bit at it clinching his meat in her teeth. He died few seconds later didn't know how though. She was left there wondering. Hell's door closed and no one had any intentions on knocking anytime soon.

A few weeks later

The funeral of Joyce came. Dawn made up a poem for her mother. Buffy wrote a letter. The funeral was the saddest day in all of their lives. Buffy and Dawn walked to the grave after their mother was lowered down and tossed their red roses on top of the caskets. They embraced each other tears rolled down their faces.

Later that night the phone rang. Buffy went to answer it.

"This call is from a federal prison if you chose to accept this call dial five now."

Buffy dialed five. "Hello?"

"Hey, B." Faith said "Sorry about your mom."

"Thanks, Faith," she exhaled.

"See ya soon." Faith said.

"See you," she hung up the phone "Soon."

Spike stood at the backdoor. "Can I come in?"

"No," she said coldly "But I can come out,"

He smiled at her. "Thanks,"

"Don't thank me," she scoffed.

"Are you still pissed at me?"

"No," she said, "You helped me even if you were knocked out half the time."

They embraced each other. "Buffy..."

She put her fingers over his lips to stop him. "Don't" she looked away. "Thank you for everything." She turned and walked into her house alone.

Xander's apartment

Anya lies in the bed. Dreaming about him, breathing, seeing, and hearing his voice but he was gone. For good. She felt a kick in her stomach. She got up. She felt it in her blood. She was pregnant. She called Willow.

"Hello," Willow said dryly it was almost sunrise.

"Hey," Anya said

"Anya?" she asked " what is it, is everything ok?" she asked with caution in her voice

"Yes, yes everything is ok," she said, "I am having a little Xander."

"Your pregnant?" she said jumping up from bed awaking Tara. They hugged. Everything was going to be ok.

The sun rose and everything was sunny in Sunnydale. For once.
