WAR
Xander, Anya and Willow stood outside the disused warehouse, waiting for the others. Willow had gone to see Spike first, and he'd told her that he and Angel would use the sewers underground to find a way in. He'd also given her a crossbow, axe and sword. Anya and Xander had the guns from their first Sinkata demon fight in the museum. Xander looked over at Willow, trying not to let whatever was inside hear him. "It was here, right?" he asked. Willow nodded. "Good." Suddenly, Giles came through the bushes, startling them.
"Giles!" Willow squeaked.
"What?" he asked, oblivious to his appearance. He was holding an axe in both hands, some daggers in his belt, and also a bandanna.
"What's with the funky head-gear?" Xander asked him, trying not to laugh.
"I want to strike fear into these demons. I thought this made me look a bit more menacing." Giles replied, unhappy at them and their mockery.
"If your plan is to make them laugh to death, I think you'll succeed." Anya stated. Giles took it off quickly, trying not to feel more of a fool than by keeping it on. Buffy and Faith turned the corner instantly after Giles pocketed the red cloth, and ran over to them with yet more weapons.
"Ok, we ready?" Buffy asked them all.
"Ready as we'll ever be." Xander answered, feeling awkward near Faith. She felt the same way, but could hide it easier.
Spike and Angel walked through the Sunnydale Sewage Works, the rats who'd made the dingy tunnels their home quickly scampering away. Angel followed Spike, who knew where he was going. Or so he'd said. "Do you really know where you're going?" Angel asked, wondering why they were taking so long.
"Of course I am. I bloody live here, remember?" Spike replied, not liking being questioned.
"We better not get there late, because if we do..." Angel started to threaten Spike.
"Will you shut the hell up?" Spike asked, getting pissed off with his old ally. "We'll get there on time. See? There."He pointed at a ladder. "There we are. I don't hear death and destruction, do you?"
"No." Angel replied, not bothering with arguing.
"Well, we must be on time then. We gotta wait here until we hear the signal, ok?" Spike explained. Angel nodded. "Good. Now shut up. You're getting on my frigging nerves." Spike took out a packet of cigarettes and placed one in his mouth. As he returned the packet to his jacket pocket, he took out his lighter with the other hand and lit it. Angel watched him do this, then remembered something.
"Willow doesn't like smokers, I seem to remember." he stated, slightly mocking the bleached-blonde vampire. Spike took the cigarette out of his mouth and looked at Angel angrily.
"Things have changed, moron." Spike told him. "She doesn't give a damn if I smoke, because she loves me for how I love her."
"How can you? You don't have a soul." Angel reminded him.
"Are you saying I'm using her?" Spike asked him, even more pissed off. Angel didn't reply. Instead, he smirked slightly at him. "It would be a hell of a shame if when we get the signal, one of us is a heap of dust on the floor, wouldn't it?" Again, Angel didn't answer, loving the way he could annoy what used to be his friend off so easily. "Now will you please just shut up so we don't miss the signal?" Angel nodded, still smirking. Spike took another drag from his cigarette.
The factory was fairly dark as Buffy and the others entered through a small side-door. They could hear something upstairs, and Willow frantically searched for the exit to the sewers. She spotted it, and quickly and quietly ran over to it. She opened it, and signaled to the two vampires below to come up. Without speaking, Spike climbed the ladder, followed by Angel. As he reached the same level, Spike kissed Willow softly, then walked over to the others, Willow and Angel following.
"We all ready?" Buffy asked, whispering so as not to be discovered. Everyone nodded. "Ok then. This is it." she said, leading them to the stairs. Faith walked beside her, knowing she was the only one there equally as strong as Buffy was.
Quietly, they started walking up the wooden staircase. It creaked as each foot touched it, and seemed to echo throughout the dark, cold factory. Xander clenched his teeth slightly as the noise wouldn't cease, praying that the creatures upstairs couldn't hear their surprise attack. He gripped his two pistols harder, ready for an attack.
At the top of the stairs, the two slayers could see a circle of about ten sinkata demons, and a human figure in the center. It was in a robe, chanting, as the demons around it swayed slightly, occasionally chanting along. "What are they doing?" Faith whispered to Buffy, watching the act.
"I don't know." Buffy replied. "But I don't think it's a sing-song. We'd better finish this now." Faith nodded, and suddenly, they both jumped up the next three steps, charging at the creatures. They turned to face them as Buffy swung her axe through one demon's neck, and Faith stabbed her sword through another's face. The two dead demons fell down as the others moved towards them. The human didn't move, but instead watched. The two slayers started punching and kicking at the demons, and the others reached them quickly.
Spike and Angel charged at the mass of demons to help the slayers, changing to their vampire visage, swinging their weapons at them as they ran. Some more demons emerged from rooms nearby, and Xander and Anya promptly fired their weapons at them, taking the majority down.
Willow stayed with Giles as he attacked a nearby demon with his two axes. Willow stabbed it with the sword Spike gave her, and the demon fell to the dusty floor. Another demon suddenly appeared behind them, and knocked both humans into the wall beside them with one punch.
Spike pulled his axe out of another dead demon, and saw Willow fly through the air from the corner of his eye. He turned and saw Giles as well, and a sinkata demon walking over to the dazed humans. He sprinted towards the demon, and swung his axe at it. The demon noticed, ducked, and pulled the axe from Spike's grip. It swung it at him, and he felt the blade swipe through his chest in a burst of immense pain. He cried out as he fell backwards down the stairs, clutching his chest.
Willow spotted Spike fall down the stairs as she regained consciousness. "Spike!" she yelled, taking the crossbow from her back and firing the arrow into the demon's head. It dropped to the ground sideways, and Willow ran to the top of the stairs. She looked down to see Spike clambering up towards her, holding his chest which was bleeding. He reached the top and put his arms around her, glad to see she was alright.
Buffy and Faith both spin-kicked the same demon in the sides of it's head, crushing it's skull inwards. It let out a groan as it collapsed to it's knees, then onto it's face. Angel cut off another demon's head with his sword, the piles off corpses becoming great.
Xander and Anya ran around the room, avoiding a couple of demons, firing at them and reloading as fast as possible. One demon ran at Anya, and she raised her assault rifle to it's face. She pulled the trigger, but nothing happened. She pulled it again, and realized she was out of ammo. She didn't have time to call to Xander as the demon rammed it's claw into Anya's gut, sticking it's hand straight through her. Xander saw this happen. "No!" he yelled, emptying his almost full clip into the demon's head. It retracted it's claw as it fell backwards, as did Anya. Xander ran over to her as she lay on the ground, blood gushing from the massive wound on her stomach. She coughed up some blood as Xander knelt down beside her. "Anya, honey, can you hear me?" he called to her, talking frantically.
"Xan..." was all she could announce before sighing slightly, then not moving at all.
"Anya! Don't do this!" Xander shouted. "You can't die!" Another demon walked over to him, and grabbed his shoulders. It threw him across the room, and he landed hard on his back. The demon started towards him, and as it stood over him, Xander couldn't be bothered to retaliate. The demon reached down for his head, when suddenly it fell beside him. Xander looked at the creature, noticing Giles' dagger sticking out of the back of the creatures skull. Giles ran over to him, and helped him up.
"Come on!" he shouted, running back to the fight. Xander reloaded his pistols, and ran after Giles, shooting a couple of demons as he went.
The sorcerer of Premaria enjoyed the show of violence and anger portrayed by these three species. He felt unthreatened, as he knew his minions would never allow the enemy to get near him. If they did however, he knew what to do, and could easily stop them. He could kill them all now, but he wanted to witness a battle which was more exciting than any he'd ever watched before.
A sinkata demon swung it's fist into Angel's head, sending him across the room, knocking him out. Buffy quickly cut the demon's head off with an axe, and saw there was only another five demons, and that man who hadn't moved since they arrived. "Faith!" she called. Faith snapped a demon's neck and ran over to her. "Him there! He's the one we've gotta stop!" Faith nodded, and they ran towards him. Another demon charged at them, but Spike jumped out of nowhere, his axe decapitating the demon quickly. The two slayers sprinted at the figure, which slowly raised it's arms. Buffy and Faith suddenly found themselves flying backwards, and hitting the far wall.
Xander shot another demon dead, and Giles and Willow hacked another up with their weapons. The last demon ran towards them, and sliced it's claw through Willow's side. She screamed as she was forced to the ground, pain flying through her entire body. She felt the blood pour out of her side, it felt warm.
Xander put eight bullets in the demons head as Giles sliced it clean off the demon's head. They knelt beside Willow, Xander now fearing that not only has he witnessed his girlfriend's death, but also his best friend. They clutched the wound, helping to stop the bleeding. Willow could feel herself blacking out, and tried to hold on as best she could.
Spike went for the sorcerer, but he forced him backwards into the wall. As he looked up, he saw Willow on the ground, with Xander and Giles beside her. He forgot about the sorcerer completely and ran as fast as he could towards them, sliding on his knees as he reached them.
The sorcerer walked over to the two slayers, ready to crush them with a simple formation of a fist. He lifted his arms, when suddenly, bullet's tore through his body from behind him. He dropped to the ground, unmoving, as Anya stepped over his body. She unloaded more bullets into his head until the assault rifle gave out a dead click. Xander saw this, and let Spike continue helping Willow as he ran over to Anya, hugging and kissing her. "I thought you were dead!" Xander stated, unable to believe what had happened.
"Me too. But look..." she said, lifting her bloodied shirt, showing him her stomach. It wasn't even scratched. "Maybe that whole 'Promised One' business was right." Xander smiled, kissing her again and again.
Buffy ran over to Angel, who was still unconscious. Faith followed her. She looked over the room and saw Willow. She looked up at Faith. "Watch him." she told her. Faith nodded as Buffy ran over to her dying friend. She reached her and saw the deep wound.
"Is she gonna be alright?" Buffy asked, frantic.
"She's lost a lot of blood." Giles notified her. He lowered his voice a little, not wanting to say it, but knowing he had to tell her. "I'm not sure we can do anything." Spike looked at the retired librarian, angrily.
"What? We can! We have to!" he argued. He looked down at Willow. Honey, you're gonna be alright, ok?" She smiled. Xander remembered something.
"Giles, you can perform that soul giving spell, right? Like how we saved Angel?" he asked.
"It's an extremely dangerous spell. I'm not sure..." Giles tried to explain.
"But it can work, right?" Spike asked, wanting to save Willow any way possible. "If Angel turns her, we can give her a soul quickly, and she'll be relatively normal, only a vampire?" Giles nodded.
"Angel's out cold." Buffy explained. "There's no way he can do it in time." Spike saw Angel and Faith in the far corner, then punched the wall.
"Shit!" he muttered. He looked at Willow. "Are you ok with being one of us?" he asked her. She nodded slightly.
"But how...?" she muttered, trying to speak. Spike's face narrowed in the center, his eyes turning yellow, his teeth growing slightly. He looked down to her neck, breathing heavily, knowing this was going to hurt.
"Spike, are you sure?" Buffy asked, realizing Spike really did love Willow. He nodded, not saying anything, and quickly bit into the dying girl's neck. He felt the electrical impulses in his brain as they became increasingly painful. He continued to drink, despite the intense pain in his skull, knowing this was the only way to save the girl he loved so much.
Spike pulled away, the great pain still ringing inside his head, and lifted Willow's head to the open wound in his chest. She hesitated, then started drinking from him to complete the turning cycle. He knew he should normally enjoy siring a vampire, but this time he hated every second of it. Not just because of the chip in his head, but the fact that he was killing the girl he'd tried so hard to save.
Willow had finished drinking, when she finally laid her head back and stopped moving and breathing. Spike collapsed at the same time too, blacking out. The others quickly picked up Willow, Spike and Angel, and took them down the stairs. They carefully took them through the sewers, because it was still daytime outside.
Willow opened her eyes to see the gray concrete roof of Spike's crypt. She looked down her body and saw her wound had healed up. She turned over and saw Spike standing beside her. "How do you feel?" he asked.
"I'm a vampire?" she wondered aloud, it not quite sinking in yet. Spike nodded.
"The spell worked. You have a soul." he explained. He handed her a cup. Willow looked in it and saw it was blood. "You need it to become strong." he told her. She reluctantly took a gulp.
"I'll have to get used to it." she said, putting the cup down. Spike smiled.
"You'll also have to get used to not being able to go out in the sunlight, touching crosses and stuff like that." Willow smiled.
"I'm sure I will." She stood up and walked over to him. She kissed him softly. "Thank you." she whispered.
"It was nothing." Spike replied. Willow kissed him again.
"Yes it was." she replied. Suddenly, Spike felt a pain in his chest. A stake. "But you're wrong about the spell." Spike's eyes widened as he turned to dust, and fell as a heap on the floor. Willow's face had turned into her vampire one, and she smiled. "It didn't work." she finished, then finished her cup of blood and left via the tunnel in Spike's den.
