Sunnydale Cemetery
Sunday 9:30 am
"Okay, so what's the plan?" Willow asked as they walked up to the
crypt.
"Uh, well, I guess kill a demon thing and make sure to get some blood
too, while I'm at it. Right, Cordelia?" Buffy asked. "Although, how
much blood. I mean, is it enough to do some cutting and get it on my
knife, and I can _so_ not believe I'm talking about this," she
wrinkled her nose in disgust.
Cordelia said, "It didn't take much blood last....I read, yeah. I read
all about it. You know, there's all those books in Angel's office,
and I was bored one day and I read one of them, and I found out all I
need to know about Mohra demons."
Cordelia looked over to see if Buffy was suspicious, but Buffy was
preoccupied by her own thoughts. Cordelia still wondered why Buffy
didn't remember the demon which had attacked her and Angel when she
had visited Angel over Thanksgiving. *Well, maybe she kills so many
of the things, that she probably just can't remember all of them.*
Willow shook her head in amazement at Buffy's denseness. *Lucky for
Cordelia that Buffy has way too much to worry about right now.
Because if she had been paying attention, it would have just opened
up a whole big can of worms and those worms are not something we need
to be dealing with right now. Okay, Willow, shut up now. When you
start babbling to yourself, you know you're in trouble.*
"Why are we wasting our time?" Anya yelled. "While we're off on this
wild demon-chase, to get something that may or may not work to bring
back Angel--"
"It will work!" Cordelia interrupted.
"Whatever," Anya said. "But all I care about right now is that some
evil vampire is probably hurting Xander. And I don't know why I'm
arguing with you when I should just do something."
Buffy grabbed Anya's arm before she ran off, "I _don't_ think so,
Anya. The plan was kill the demon, get the blood, then we're going
straight to the mansion to get Xander and Wesley. Stick to the plan."
"You can't make me--" shove.
"Wanna bet?" shove
"Okay," Willow jumped in and pulled Buffy away, and Oz grabbed Anya.
"Now of all the not-helpful things imaginable," Willow said, "this
would be high on the list. Anya, we're going in there, and Buffy's
going to kill a demon. Buffy, if the demon can't be found, I'm with
Anya in insisting Xander being alive is more important than the demon
blood. We go over to the mansion and we figure out another way to
stop Angelus. Okay?"
"Fine," Anya said with a huff of irritation.
"Fine," Buffy said, "because there won't be a problem with plan A. Now
if you'll excuse me, I have a moppet demon to kill."
"MOHR...oh what's the use," Cordelia muttered as the gang followed
Buffy into the crypt.

Spike's Mansion
Spike hadn't heard Cordelia yelling in a while, so he went to check.
"OH, Bloody Hell!" he yelled when he opened the door. "Where are
they!" he demanded, grabbing Wesley and slamming him up against the
wall.
"Who?" Wesley replied.
"Spike, do you always have to be so melo...DAMMIT!! HOW COULD YOU LET
THIS HAPPEN?!" Angelus roared when he saw the females had escaped.
"ME????" Spike said. "Oh, that's just bloody great. They didn't walk
out the front door, if that's what you're implying. You're the one
who wasn't paying attention...'No I want to torture someone. I
haven't tortured anyone in years', you said. Well, that's fine,
Angelus. But don't blame ME that the twits figured out how to get out
while you were otherwise occupied."
"Oh, yeah. I forgot. I was under the MISTAKEN impression that you were
here to HELP me with this 'kill the slayer and her friends' idea.
But I guess that was just too much to ask for, wasn't it?! In over a
HUNDRED years, you have yet to do ANYTHING right, so why should you
start now. Thanks to you, Buffy and the others are probably on their
way over here. And I haven't even KILLED anyone yet!" Angelus growled
and turned to leave the room.
"What do you want me to do with him?" Spike asked, nodding to where he
still had Wesley pinned against the wall.
"I don't care," Angelus said. "I just brought him here to keep him
from telling Rupert what was going on. Leave him, kill him, it
doesn't really matter either way."
Angelus walked out, and Spike shrugged. "He's right, you know. You're
no fun to kill, because nobody would even notice if you were dead." He
dropped Wesley with a smile at Wesley's hurt reaction and walked
out of the room.

Sunnydale Cemetery.
Buffy and Oz went into the crypt first. A Mohra demon jumped out at
them, and Buffy slammed her stake into its forehead jewel. In a flash
of light, it vanished into thin air.
"Oops," Buffy said, surprised.
"Buffy!" Cordelia yelled. "Blood, remember? Blood to help Angel. Geez,
when did you become more of a blonde than you used to be?!"
"Sorry!" Buffy said. "I didn't know it was going to go poof. Willy
didn't say it would go poof. How is it my fault that it went--"
"Buffy, keep to the poi--AAAH!" Willow was the last into the crypt,
and another Mohra demon entered after her. It threw her across the
room and she fell to the floor unconscious.
"Hey!" Buffy yelled. "You hurt my friend!"
{You hurt my boyfriend!}
"What????" Buffy looked at Anya and Cordy, a puzzled look on her
face.
"What, 'what'???" Cordelia returned the puzzled look. "Buffy! Look
ou....or maybe we should run," she said to Anya when Buffy got thrown
across the room as well.
"No," Buffy said, getting up slowly. "I just thought I heard
something. I'm better now, and ready to kill this thing. This is my
axe--" she said, producing her axe, "And this is me getting demon
blood."
She ran at the demon and swung her axe, but it met the attack with its
sword. Buffy held her own for a few minutes, but then it grabbed her
axe, taking her by surprise. It threw the axe across the room, and she
yelled, "Hey! That's mine, you big, ugly, jeweled thing!"
"That'll help, kill it with your wit," Cordelia said sarcastically.
"Shut UP, Cordelia!" Buffy retorted, ducking the demon's sword.
"Hey!" Oz yelled, and shot an arrow into the demon's shoulder with a
crossbow. Anya threw Buffy a sword as the demon turned on Oz with a
roar of anger.
"My turn!" Buffy replied, catching the sword and jabbing it into the
Mohra demon's back. "Eew, green blood," she remarked with a wrinkle of
her nose, watching as the green stuff ended up on the sword blade. The
demon turned back to her with another roar, and she slammed the sword
into its forehead jewel.
"I love tag-team slaying," Buffy grinned as the demon disappeared. Oz
was already at Willow's side by then, and Buffy remembered. "Oh, God,
Willow!" she ran over to her.
"Just a bump on the head," Oz said. "I think she's okay." He lifted
Willow in his arms, adding, "Even if she does wake up in time, though,
she's not strong enough for the magic stuff, Buffy."
"Hey, I don't think that's true," Willow argued. "Put me down," she
demanded, opening her eyes. Oz complied, lowering her to her feet.
She stood, still holding on to Oz for support. "I am too strong
enough to do this," she protested to Oz. "It's not every day I can
actually do something important to help Buffy, and if she needs me--"
"I do," Buffy interrupted. "But not at the cost of your health," she
said with concern. "I don't want you to get hurt--"
"Hello!" Anya said irritated. "Can we do the gaggingly sweet bonding
_after_ we get my boyfriend safely out of the clutches of the
psychotic vampire?"
"Yeah," Buffy said. "I'm ready. Guys?"
"Ready," Willow replied, and she and Oz followed the others out of the
crypt.

Spike's Mansion
10 am
"Spike?" a male vampire ran into the house, throwing off the coat it
had used to shield itself from the sun. He found Spike lounging on the
couch. "I followed Riley like you asked--"
"Yeah, what is it?" Spike said boredly.
"Well, he was in the tunnels underground. And he met up with..." the
vampire trailed off, looking away nervously.
"With who?" Spike asked sitting up.
"With..."
"Finish the sentence," Spike snarled.
"Adam."
