Spike started pleading with the Scoobies to let him go. Well actually he
said something like, "LET ME GO YOU WANKERS!"
Xander just smacked him again.
Defeated, Spike sat back in his chair. He wanted to die.
Buffy had gotten the whole situation mixed up and was about to do something terrible in his name. She was going to kill some poor innocent man all because he wanted to get laid. It was terrible.
He paused a moment and rethought what he had just heard from the Scoobies. Something didn't fit.
***************************************
"What do you mean friend?" the robot's voice again broke the silence of the living room.
Xander was going to smack him again but then Dawn spoke up.
"Spike was our friend. Do you know what that is? Is the word friend even programmed into you? Spike was the guy we could always count on to tell it to us straight. After Giles left, he was the closest thing I had to a Dad or a big brother. He made a lot of mistakes but I knew he was a really a good person deep down inside. That summer that Buffy…wasn't here, He kept us all alive. Even Xander started to like him, not that he ever admitted it. And when Buffy came back and they started to sleep together..."
She ignored the looks of shock on Xander and Willow's faces and kept going,
"…I thought I had a chance to have a real family again. But then she broke up with him and then you came along and-and…" Her sentence drifted as she dissolved into sobs.
This time Xander was filled with such rage that he didn't smack the robot, He reached for the baseball bat he had brought with him and hit the robot with all his might.
************************************
As his chair fell backwards and blood spilled from his face, Spike couldn't help but feel a slight flutter in his heart.
They thought he was their friend. If he wasn't in immense pain and in danger of blacking out,
Then he would have started to cry tears of joy.
From his place on the floor Spike smiled deliriously and said. "I really love you guys."
******************************
Back at the crypt, the biggest and obvious leader of leader of the Fyral grumbled "Where Spike?"
Dr. Cross was speechless. What the hell were these things? Sure vampires were at least plausible, but monsters like this were just freaking insane! He mentally frowned at himself. Stephan, he thought, What kind of world are you living in?
He collected himself as best he could. "Um, hello. Can I-"
The lead Fyral interrupted him…with a sword. The demon took out a gigantic broadsword and pressed it against Stephan's throat.
"Where Spike?"
Stephan's voice came out as a tiny squeak, tired and frightened "He isn't here right now but He'll be back later."
The Fyral looked at him a moment before finally removing the blade from Stephan's throat. "Spike owe money."
"What?"
"We kidnap Doctor for him, he owe money."
Stephan's eyes narrowed slightly with annoyance. These were the things that had kidnapped him. Stupid vampire never even paid them! Talk about a lowlife!
With a slight scowl, Cross responded through his teeth "I'm sure he'll pay you when he gets back."
But the lead fyral wouldn't here of it. "Want money NOW!!"
After being kidnapped, mocked, and generally annoyed; Stephan had become fed up. "Listen to me you stupid little creatures, I don't have the money to pay you! In fact, I only have…" He reached deeply in to his pockets and pulled out a few coins, "…98 cents! Is that what you want? Then here!" He threw the change at the demons, letting it fall to the floor with a clink.
Upon seeing the money, the fyral's eyes went wide and they scrambled across the floor on their hands and knees. "COINS!!!!" they shouted.
Stephan rolled his eyes. Obviously, he was not dealing with members of MENSA.
*****************************************
Buffy peered from outside into the small window of Spike's crypt and growled at what she saw. The Doctor she had seen talking to the robot at the club was standing around the crypt with a scowl on his face and all these fyral demons crawling on their hands and knees trying to please him.
Supervillans. They were all the same. Self obsessed, power hungry, and usually if they crossed Buffy then they were also dead.
Just like this one.
She really had loved Spike. Ever since he became a permanent part of her life they had grown closer. But it was hen they had been in the grips of that engagement spell that she began to see how attractive he was. How handsome and powerful he looked. When he let himself be tortured by Glory to keep Dawn safe, Buffy's heart had nearly melted in affection for the vampire.
The only reason she pretended not to love him was because she thought her friends wouldn't understand. But now that he was dead none of that mattered. All that mattered now was revenge.
It was fitting that she was still wearing her Faith clothes, because the dark Slayer herself could have spoken the next words out of her mouth.
"Mister, You just died and nobody told you."
*************************************
Dr. Cross wasn't sure what happened next. He was certain that something crashed through one of the crypt's small windows but after that it was a blur. Literally.
The fyral demons charged on the intruder but didn't really stand a chance. It cut them down. One by one. Slicing them with the brutality of some kind of deadly predator. Spinning like a deadly whirlwind soaked in blood.
When it finally stopped, Stephan found himself on the floor with blood running down the side of his head. He looked up into the enraged eyes of a small blonde girl.
"Hi there." Said the girl, "I'm Buffy the Vampire Slayer and your going to die."
He collapsed into unconsciousness when her foot collided with his face.
