The Bargain Chapter 8 Null and Void.
Disclaimer: Once again, I own nothing of the rights for Buffy.
Kendra looked at her bleeding stomach. Drusilla cut pretty, deep, probably enough to kill her. Suddenly, as if she were possessed by the spirit of the first slayer, she screamed an animal scream and jumped on Dru, knocking her off her feet.
She punched Dru in the face three times before she was able to morph into a Vamp. face.
"Shouldn't have done that, Slayer." Dru growled. "It's time to go."
"Time." Kendra repeated.
Dru kicked Kendra off of her and stood, climbing back up her throne. "Catch me if you can." Dru used the throne to jump up onto the second floor.
Kendra followed, looking quizzically at the hooded figure that was coming through the door. As she was fighting, Tara and Anya followed the hooded Willow through the door. However, Kendra was gaining the upper hand in the battle. She'd given Drusilla a swollen eye and then she wrapped strands of hair around her hands and pulled.
Meanwhile, a thought had occurred to Willow.
"Can the spell work with him the Auros?" Willow asked.
"No." Anya said, preoccupied.
"Fine, can you reverse the spell?" Willow asked.
"Smashing the Auros, although that has some repercussions."
"We have to do it."
Anya threw the Auros as far as she could. The Auros hit the ground and split, letting D'Hoffryn escape. Suddenly, D'Hoffryn shouted a curse that sped up time. The curse stopped as Willow and Kendra's watches both beeped, signaling that it was then ten O'clock...the time of reckoning.
"I failed." Kendra said, stone-faced.
"That's right." D'Hoffryn said, raising himself up to the second floor. Through his hands, he shot a powerful rope that held Kendra in place. He stared into her eyes, immobilizing her. "How I'm going to love having a Slayer servant.
Just then, Willow started chanting. Tara and Anya joined in as well. Drusilla was the first to hear their spell. "Stop them," She screeched, thinking that the restoration spell was for her.
Willow's voice changed as a bright light enveloped her, she used this power to raise herself to the second floor, all the while, keeping herself hidden.
"Goddess Hecate," Willow started, "Protect this poor soul and return to her what is hers." The contract appeared and flew into Willow's hands. "Goddess Hecate, destroy this infernal contract." Willow used her powerful new magikal strength to rip the contract in two.
"My contract." D'Hoffryn shouted, "you're ruined it."
Angrily, he made some magical gestures to create a wind to blow Willow off of the balcony. Kendra jumped down to the first floor with excellent speed and caught Willow.
Finally, she looked into her old friend's eyes. "Thank you, Willow.":
"You'll all pay for this." D'Hoffryn said, as he vanished.
Now, Willow and Kendra stood facing each other.
"I don't know how to thank you." Willow said, "For saving my life."
"You would've done the same for me." Kendra replied. "Now I see why Buffy keeps you to help her."
Willow smiled guiltily and looked down, "Yeah."
Just then, Drusilla attacked Kendra from behind. Kendra was quick in responding. She punched Dru twice and then did a scissors kick. Drusilla knew she was finished.
"Go ahead." Drusilla dared. "I dare you to kill me."
"Killing you would be dropping down to your level." Kendra said, letting Drusilla get up, "And I don't want to go there." Kendra was ready to leave, she was alive again and willing to return to her own home.
"You don't understand, I'm not leaving you alone." Drusilla said, going over to a support pole. "You're not leaving here alive." Drusilla ripped a support column out of the ground and the warehouse started to shake.
"Get out of here." Kendra told Willow and the Scoobies.
"What about you?" Willow asked.
"I'll be fine," Kendra smiled reassuringly, "Now go."
Drusilla ripped out another support beam as Willow left with the other girls.
"You're not going to get me that easily." Kendra shouted over the noise.
"Stop me if you can." Drusilla commented, heading to the last support column.
Kendra did just that, she tackled the vampire as she was about to reach the last support column. Of course, the brute force of the girls along with the impact caused the last support column to fall.
Willow held Tara as they watched the warehouse fall. Anya looked on in disbelief, as the tall warehouse came crashing to the ground.
"She's going to be okay, isn't she?" Tara mused out loud.
"Probably not, that thing was going fast." Anya answered.
Just then, they watched as Drusilla's body raised herself out of the rubble. Dru looked around for Kendra and laughed as nothing happened.
Suddenly, a bright light came from the rubble. Kendra's body was now covered in it, it was healing her wounds as it lifted her off the ground just a little ways. Kendra pulled a stake from the rubble and advanced on Drusilla. "You shouldn't have taken my life again." Kendra responded.
With that, she heaved the stake into Drusilla's heart. Dru turned into dust as Kendra watched. Then Kendra disappeared as well.
"Where do you think she's going?" Anya asked.
Lucy appeared beside them, "She missed ghost roads, so my guess is Heaven."
"Well, we'd better catch a flight back to Sunnydale." Willow stated, "And tell Giles what we saw."
Willow, Tara and Anya walked to the outskirts of town, where there was a bus stop. Upon waiting for the bus back to Sunnydale, Lucy addressed Willow.
"I'm sorry all this had to happen." Lucy started.
"It was an adventure." Willow responded, "Hey Lucy?"
"Yeah?"
"If you see Buffy on the ghost roads, tell her we miss her?"
"I'll keep that in mind." Lucy said, floating away. She didn't want them to know that she'd never seen Buffy on the ghost roads.
Drusilla just arrived in Hell and was listening to the people shrieking in agony. She was sitting down on a molten rock when she was approached by Darla.
"Dru? I'm surprised to see you down here."
Drusilla sighed, "Yeah, I'm finally here."
"Although I can fix that for you." D'Hoffryn's voice echoed in Drusilla's ears.
The End.
