Willow Rosenberg sat in her school's shadowy, cluttered library, reading Demonology with great interest.
"Hey Will. What are you reading?" Willow's best-friend Buffy asked, walking into the library.
"This fascinating book about demons. There's one here who likes to peel the skin off it's victims and...;"
"Will." Buffy said warningly.
"Sorry."
"So, where's Giles?" asked Buffy after a few seconds.
"Snyder dragged him to a staff meeting."
"Snooze-worthy."
Willow nodded absently. Buffy sat down at the long library table, glancing at the books spread out.
"Will?"
"Yeah?" Willow said vaguely.
"Why all the demonology books?"
"Don't get mad, but Giles thinks there's a new demon in town..."
"What type?"
"Its name is Behemoth."
"What?"
"Behemoth."br
"What does it do?"
"Kill. The usual. But it's different to most in physique."
"How?" Buffy asked, becoming aggravated.
"It has the head of an elephant."
"What?!?"
"Yeah. Here's a picture." Willow handed Buffy a book with an engraving of an elephant headed, round bellied demon.
"It doesn't look too bad. Just slightly overweight. Can't be too strong."
"Hello, Buffy. How was patrolling last night?" Giles walked into the room.
"Usual."
"So there were vampires out?"
Buffy nodded, "I got about ten." She said, inspecting her nail polish. "Arr!"
"What?" said Giles, panicked.
"I have a chip!" Buffy cried, holding out her finger to show him.
"Oh, thank goodness."
"Humph."
"So, has Willow filled you in on Behemoth?"
"Kind of." Willow said before Buffy could answer.
"What are you up to?"
"Its strength."
"Right." Said Giles. "Well, Behemoth seems to have the strength of an elephant or hippopotamus..."
"Or?"
"The authors of our books aren't exactly very specific about the details..."
"Behemoth is a very interesting demon, actually. It was mentioned in The Bible, in the book of Job... you're not at all interested in this, are you?" Giles asked Buffy.
"Not in the slightest. Sorry Giles, but I'm more into staking than studying."
"I realise your interests lie in the physical rather than the intellectual, but you must know at least the basic information about Behemoth in order to defeat it."
"Who's a moth?" Xander asked as he walked into the room.
"No one." Said Buffy. "New evil-ness."
"What now? Vampire, werewolf, witch, man-eating insect? It's not a man-eating insect, is it? Because, if it is, I'm not scared, just concerned for you two, my best-buddies. It isn't is it?"
"Calm down Xander. It's an elephant-headed, slightly overweight, demon named Behemoth."
"I don't need to calm down. I'm already calm. Calm as ...help me here Will."
"A Buddhist?" suggested Willow.
"That'll do."
