Guardian : No Fury
"Dawn, get down!" Spike yelled as he spun and caught the bottle, whirled round and threw it back out the window in the direction it came.
"W-who is it?" Dawn stammered from underneath the table she had hidden under.
"At a rough guess, I'd say someone who has it in for your sister." Spike said flattening himself against the wall beside the window.
"Yea, but that would be almost the entire underground population of Sunnydale and then some." Buffy said taking up position on the other side of the window.
Another flaming bottle came flying through the window. Buffy swung a kick and hit it back outside.
"Most polite demons would just smash through the wall." Buffy said.
And just to prove her point a purple skinned demon with a curved horn on his forehead burst through the wall beside where she was standing and grabbed her arms.
"Oh no you don't!" cried Buffy as she thrust an elbow into the demons gut. the demon let out a grunt but didn't let go.
Suddenly as if by magic a golden knight was standing beside Buffy with his sword drawn.
"Let her go." the knight said quietly.
"What ya gonna do about it, you're just a sideshow reject." the demon said.
"Hey Bob, what's takin' so long?" came a voice from outside.
The knight's sword dropped taking the demon, Bob's, head off in one clean swipe.
"You're gonna have to burn the body!" Spike yelled, "That's a Bloatbed demon, they can live until the body is burned."
"Thank you, but I do know of the demon breed." the knight said lowering his sword to the body which abruptly burst into flame and burnt in seconds leaving only a small pile of ash.
"G'kos k'jn El-vrsy ky t'll g'kos ti vid ot'll r'kj v'll." came a loud voice from outside.
"What did he say?" Buffy asked.
"Um, Come out Slayer or I'll come in and something or other." Spike said.
"Come out Slayer or I'll come in and kill you all." the knight said, "Your Devsh'kein is rusty is it not Vampire?"
"Ya noticed did ya?" Spike said.
"As'll au'vn te r'kj'y vi'easy?" came the voice again.
"I will handle this." the knight said, "R'kj g'vi i'kn u-v'ws nut'e uk'jes t'n te jid'sy nus zy'knsg'ntki k'b nus Zk'asye Nu'vn F's!"
The demon outside responded with a roar of anger.
"What did you say to him?" Buffy asked.
"I told him this house was protected." the knight answered, Spike gave him a funny look but didn't say anything.
"Well I don't think he liked it much." Buffy said.
There was a crack of thunder outside and a bolt of lightning touched down outside and there was a scream that could only be produced by a dieing creature.
The creature that had roared earlier gave another roar before the sound of a motorbike engine was heard thundering off into the distance. Spike peeked his head round the edge of the broken window.
"Looks like they've gone." he said.
"yup, sure looks that way, better find Xander and get him to come and fix this window." Buffy said before turning to the knight, "Now if you're gonna keep popping up and helping us, then perhaps we need to know something about you, for instance what is your name?"
"I am Adam Powers, I am the emissary of the Powers That Be." the knight answered as his suit of armour morphed into the latest in casual fashion.
"The Powers That Be, huh?" said Spike throwing a glance at Dawn.
"Do not worry the Key will remain safe as long as I am on this plain of existence." Adam answered.
"This plain of existence?" Buffy said raising an eyebrow.
"Yes, I am one of the Powers That Be, I am actually a non-corporeal entity." Adam said taking a seat in the nearest chair. He sat just a little too straight like he was still getting used to being human.
"Make yourself at home." Buffy said sarcastically.
"Thank you." Adam said, if he noticed the sarcasm he didn't let it show.
"Shit." roared Dev in his native tongue.
"You have failed us, my son." came a voice in the same language from behind him.
"Father, I was given no choice, the light wielders interfered." Dev replied to the almost identical demon behind him.
The other demon hissed and said, "I have told you not to mention them!" and slapped Dev across the face.
"I sublimate myself before you father." Dev said going down on bended knee.
"As so you should." the other demon said.
"Give me another chance father" Dev pleaded.
"I give you one more chance, get another demon and vampire and destroy this town by ridding it of it's slayer." Dev's father said.
"Thank you father." Dev said getting up, turning and walking down the ally.
"If you fail this time my son, you will die a thousand deaths." his father said in a whisper.
"So this Devsh'k demon, what would it want?" Giles asked Adam. The entire gang was gathered in the Summers living room, Xander, with Spike's help, was putting up some boarding to cover the broken window until the stores opened in the morning and he could get some replacement glass. Giles, Willow and Buffy were talking to Adam.
"If my source is correct then he is after the slayer's powers, there is a clan of the Devsh'k who, it is rumoured, have found a ancient spell that allows the transfer of powers from one magical being to another." Adam said, he had relaxed a little in the chair he was sitting in.
"And of course the slayer is a magical being." Willow said.
"Correct." Adam said.
"Why the purple demon and the vampire?" Giles asked.
"This particular Devsh'k demon has a mission handed down from the clan elders the specifics are that he uses a Bloatbed demon and a male vampire as his backup." Adam said.
"Yyoou wiilll coome wiiith me." Dev said to the purple demon sitting at the bar. He was in Willies Place, looking for a Bloatbed demon and a vampire to use as backup.
"Na, piss off mate." the demon said, he spoke with an Australian accent and was just a little drunk.
"Yyoou wiilll coome wiiith me!" Dev repeated more forcefully as he picked up the demon by his shoulders and lifted him a foot off the floor.
"Hey pal why don't you leave him alone and come and have a drink." Willie said from the relative safety of his position behind the bar.
"He wiilll coome wiiith me." Dev said looking at Willie.
Dev punched the Bloatbed demon in the face knocking him out. He then threw him over his shoulder and walked out of the bar.
Willie turned round and reached for the phone, he didn't really like to do this but he had no choice, demons couldn't just come in and take other demons out. He dialled a local number.
"Hello?" Buffy said into the phone.
"Hey, slayer, this is Willie." came Willie's voice.
"What is it Willie, I've really got no time for this." Buffy said exasperatedly.
"I just had a demon come in here and walk out with a Bloatbed demon over his shoulder." Willie told her.
"Describe the demon." Buffy asked.
Willie proceeded to describe the Devsh'k demon perfectly.
"Ok Willie thanks that sounds like the demon we're after right now." Buffy said before hanging up the phone and turning to the gang, "The Devsh'k was just at Willie's, and he now has a Bloatbed on his team."
"All he needs now is a vampire." Adam said.
"Then I think it's time we give him one." Buffy said looking at Spike.
