Disclaimer: It's the same as it was last time, I don't own anything on the show. STOP BOTHERING ME!

Xander jerked awake, he was covered in a fine sheen of sweat. What he noticed first was the fact that he was chained to the wall.

"Ughhh, hello. Is anyone there? Giles?" When no one answered Xander sighed and slumped a bit.

" HEY! IS ANYONE HERE!"

"Xander, you're a wake I see."

Looking up Xander saw Giles at the doorway, pointing a shotgun at him.

" Giles, what the hell is going on? Why am I chained to the wall?"

" We walked in and found you passed out on the floor. I chained you to the wall when I saw the symbols on your hands."

" I was going to tell you about them eventually." Xander looked down. He felt ashamed that Giles had to find out like this.

" Do you have any idea what those mean?"

" No, I saw them in the book. I read the passage on the bottom and this pain went through me. I passed out after awhile."

" I see... I'm sorry Xander, but I cannot release you."

" Giles, what are you doing, it's me!"

" That I cannot be too sure about." Turning, Giles left Xander chained to the wall.

" GILES! GILES! UNCHAIN ME, YOU FUCK!"

Xander felt a rage course through him. Giles turned just in time to see Xander's eye's glow red until the entire room was illuminated with it. With a quick jerk the chains were torn from the wall, and Xander fell to his knees. Looking up Xander growled deep in is throat, with inhuman speed he ran across the room and punched Giles in the face. The force of the blow knocked him backward into a door effectively shattering it. Seeing that Giles was out for the count he ran out of the room into a surprised Scooby gang.

" Xander what the hell are you doing?" Willow cried out. She didn't understand what was wrong with him.

" Get out of my way Will." Xander growled. He was barely keeping his anger in check.

" Xander please, let us help you!"

" GET OUT OF MY WAY!" Xander backhanded Willow into the wall. Just as he was heading to the door he felt himself fly into a display case.

" Why don't you fight someone your own size?"

Buffy stood several feet away from Xander in an attack stance. With a roar that shook the objects in the Magic Box Xander attacked. Buffy was surprised at the speed he came at her. With each punch she blocked Buffy could feel the bone shattering strength behind them.

" Xander please, stop! Why are you doing this "

" Shut up shut up SHUT UP!"

" Xander please, we're your friends!"

" NO! YOU DON'T CARE! NO ONE DOES!" A quick uppercut threw Buffy against the wall. Snapping his foot out Xander kicked her in the ribs a few times. His military training was flashing back so he had a better offense against her.

" AM I STRONG ENOUGH NOW!" Grabbing Buffy, Xander tossed her into a bookshelf like a rag doll " OR WILL YOU CUT ME OUT AGAIN LIKE YOU DID WHEN THE HARBINGER WAS COMING! OR LIKE YOUR DOING NOW!"

" Xander...we were doing.... What we thought was right-" Buffy gasped. She tried to hit Xander but at this point she was too damaged. Xander grabbed her arm and swung her into another bookcase. This one landed on her and pinned Buffy down.

" IT WAS MY FUCKING CHOICE! YOU KNOW WHAT I WAS DOING WHILE YOU WERE CUTTING ME OUT? FIGHTING ZOMBIES THAT WOULD HAVE BLOWN YOUR ASSES UP IF I HAD NOT STOPPED THEM! I WAS ALWAYS THERE FOR YOU GUYS, BUT ALL OF A SUDDEN I WAS NOT GOOD ENOUGH SO YOU DECIDED TO DUMP ME!" Slowly the rage seemed to leave Xander's face and a great sadness came over him. The red light in his eye's dimmed slowly.

" None of you ever believed in me...ever." Turning around Xander ran from the Magic Box into the night.

Sorry I didn't make it longer, but school has been a real bitch lately. I promise this chapter is leading to something really cool. And it will come out a lot sooner.
