please!!! Davis/Panzer and Joss Whedon own these folks. I just have fun
with them. **

Richie pulled up to the sidewalk and dropped to the ground from the cab as Xander did the same behind him. Explaining what he wanted to the waiting priest was for some reason not hard and the priest did his duty without question. Thirty minutes later Xander paid the priest and went inside to join the others. What was waiting him inside was a sight that was beautiful to watch.
Methos, Richie, and Duncan were all lined up side-by-side. The motions flowed through them as the sword kata was being performed. Stroke after stroke, turn after turn they flowed through the art with concentration and grace. Willow sat on the table and watched with great interest and concentration as if to learn the moves and indeed she was. Sweeping into the last form they finally stopped and bowed. Xander stepped down into the room and applauded.
"Wow guys, that was awesome!" he spouted. "What was that?"
"It was one of many sword katas and the only one that all three of us know," replied Duncan. "We needed something to help us with concentration before our battle and that worked quite well." Duncan threw Richie a towel who proceeded to wipe the sweat off of his chest and face.
Buffy stepped into the room and asked, "So are we all set? What's the plan Xander?"
Xander said, "It's like this" as the group gathered around him.

Dawn woke up to intense pain in her stomach. Leaning over she retched but nothing came out. Whimpering softly she spat and sat back up. "Amanda, what's going to happen to us?" she asked.
Amanda sighed and replied, "Duncan and Buffy will come for us. Of that I am sure." "What happens in the meantime is another matter entirely." she thought.
The door opened up and two vampires came in. They walked to Amanda and picked her up. One said, "Come, the Master wants to have some fun." Then he looked at Dawn and said, "Be ready, your turn is coming." Amanda kicked him and he hit her in the stomach in return. They dragged her out of the room kicking and screaming while Dawn just sobbed.
What seemed hours later to Dawn was only half an hour. Amanda had been thrown on the floor against the wall, cursing under her breath. The two vampires came into the room and picked up Dawn.
Amanda screamed, "No you don't you bastards!!! Leave her alone or I swear I will make your unliving lives hell for all eternity." She struggled to get to her feet.
The bigger vampire just backhanded her into the wall, knocking her out. Dawn screamed and fought with all her might. It wasn't nearly enough.
Leading her outside, she gasped in shock at all of the vampires and activity in the room. Forgetting for a moment what was happening, she wondered how this many vampires could congregate in one place. Dawn was thrown back into reality as she was thrown onto a dirty mattress. Clambering for the shelter of the wall, she turned to face Marcus. The mattress was surrounded by vampires as a sort of twisted and corrupted Praetorian guard. Marcus leered at her.
"What? Did you think I was going to feed you to them?" Marcus questioned. He laughed evilly and smiled while unbuckling his belt and licking his lips. The vampires just laughed and started to do the same. Marcus stepped forward onto the mattress while Dawn screamed. Marcus fell forward onto his face, which was in shock. He had been shot in the back by a crossbow bolt and was now temporarily dead. Dawn cried in relief as she saw this and the angry vampires turned to find the threat.
Standing on a catwalk opposite them was a very angry Buffy holding a crossbow. "You little bastards don't mess with my sister," she said coldly.
The fabricated metal wall below Buffy exploded inward with enough force that it threw a small band of vampires twenty yards. The fireball from the explosion burned up those vampires that it threw and they exploded into dust.
A commander of the legions screamed, "To arms, form ranks!!!" The vampires hustled to follow orders and formed into their battle columns. The vampire then turned around and pulled the crossbow bolt from Marcus' back and turned him over onto his back so he would wake soon and then he ran to join the troops.
Buffy let out a whistle and did a front flip off of the catwalk to land on the ground beside the opening in the wall. She stood at the ready with a sword in one hand and a wooden dagger in the other.
Outside, behind some bushes, Duncan looked at Methos and asked, "Where the hell did you get C4?" Methos just shrugged nonchalantly and replied, "You never know when you might want a little fireworks." Duncan just shook his head and grimaced. Richie grinned and reached under his coat for his rapier.
Hearing a whistle, the three Immortals stood up and took off their long coats. Methos stretched out his arms while Duncan took some deep breaths and centered himself. Signaling to Joe and Giles, the Immortals moved in closer as a column of vampires moved up. Giles drove up and brought the truck to a screeching halt. Xander opened up the valve and began spraying. The vampire column that had begun moving up was now in disarray as the gallons of holy water flowed out of the massive water tank mounted on the bed of the construction truck. Howling and hissing vampires tried to move out of the way but were entangled with their undead brethren. Finally, after so much holy water had been pumped out on them, many spontaneously burst into flames and then into ash. The whole column finally followed suit and 500 vampires were gone in the blink of an eye.
Joe waited until four full columns were destroyed by the holy water before driving his smaller truck in. Xander hopped off of his truck as Giles pulled out and parked his truck a few yards outside of the building. Joe pulled up and Xander hopped on the back of the smaller truck and began the same procedure. Spraying as far as he could, Xander wiped out another two and a half columns of vampires before running out of water.
Xander yelled to Buffy, "Bout 15 hundred left. Have fun!"
