The Immortals chapter 3
The immortal trio walked into Willy's bar like they owned the place. Willy looked up from wiping the bar to see Xander.
Willy: I don't want any trouble kid.
Xander glared at Willy quickly.
Xander: I won't start anything.
Xander walked to a table in the far corner Raphael and Goodwin following him looking around the establishment intently.
Goodwin: What is this place?
Xander began explaining as the two immortals sat down.
Xander: This is the local demon bar. As you know some demons just want to survive. They can drink pigs blood and even human blood from the hospital here. No killing is allowed.
Raphael nodded showing no shock. Goodwin did the same to a lesser degree. He was jumpy.
Xander: What beside's me brings you to the little town on the hellmouth?
Goodwin and Raphael chuckled at Xanders humor and began there story.
Raphael: We only recently found out about you. I thought I was the only immortal. When we found out about you we knew you would be in danger. I thought you might need help. Especially with Mallos coming this way.
Xander sighed.
Xander: I'll probably need it. Whose Mallos?
Raphael's facial expression changed from neutral to cold in a fraction of a second.
Raphael: He's a very powerful demon. He and his partner Vashista have terrorized humanity for over 400 years.
Xander nodded slowly.
Xander: Great. I take the oath to help my friends and what happens. I bring in more trouble.
Raphael and Goodwin look at him expecting an explanation. Seeing this Xander sighs.
Xander: My best friends are A Vampire Slayer, A Wiccan witch, A watcher, and a werewolf. All fighting the good fight.
Raphael and Goodwin only blinked in amazement.
Goodwin: Wow. So you were the only normal guy huh?
Xander nodded.
Xander: Yeah. Anyway I made a promise after losing one of my oldest friends. I'd protect my friends. And I found a way to do that.
Raphael nodded.
Raphael: The Oath. How did you find out about it anyway?
Xander sighed and sat back in his seat.
Xander: A little over 8 months ago the mayor of Sunnydale ascended into a first circle demon. To kill it we had to blow up the school. Our headquarters. While moving the books we use for research one fell and just opened up to the page. After the ascension I left town for a few months. Took the oath made the sword. Which was a bitch by the way. And now I dream everynight. Yashiro is there teaching me what I need to know.
Raphael nodded as did Goodwin.
Goodwin: Maybe he isn't crazy.
Xander chuckled along with Raphael.
Xander: That depends on who you ask.
Goodwin was about to ask another question when Xander's cell phone rang.
Xander: Hold on.
He opened his phone.
Xander: hello?
Xander looks concerned as he listens.
Xander: I'm on my way. And i'm bringing some friends. Just trust me.
Xander hung up the phone quickly.
Xander: Emergency Scooby meeting. Something big must be coming.
Raphael nodded as he stood Goodwin standing a moment later.
Raphael: Lead the way.
Xander nodded to himself and the three began walking toward the Magic Box. A deathly quiet fell over them.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Angel sat as far from Buffy as possible. Doyle and Cordelia sat opposite sides of Willow and Oz. Giles stood by the counter a book in his hands.
Giles: What was the demon's name again Angel?
Angel shrugged and pointed at Doyle.
Doyle: The demon calls himself Randall. He's a demon in human form. Older than most would believe. His real name was lost or forgotten a heck of a long time ago.
Giles sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose.
Giles: I suggest the only course of action is to find this Immortal character. However finding him may prove to be difficult.
The door opened and Xander and two men walked into the magic box.
Doyle: Raphe, Goodwin. We were just talkin about you.
Giles looked from Doyle to Raphael and Goodwin. then back to Doyle.
Giles: I take it he is the immortal.
Before Doyle can answer Raphael does.
Raphael: One of them. What can I help you with?
Giles looked confused for a moment.
Giles: According to my research there is only one immortal.
Raphael shrugged.
Raphael: Now there's two.
Xander didn't want anything to slip just yet.
Xander: Can we get on with it please?
Giles cleared his throat.
Giles: Quite right. Angel tell your story again please.
Angel nodded and stood off the wall. He stared at Xander for a second before talking.
Angel: A demon enforcer named Randall is after me. He wants to either turn me evil again or kill me.
Xander snorted.
Xander: To late on the last part.
Everyone glared at Xander who shrugged.
Xander: Its true.
Giles sighed loudly.
Giles: Please continue Angel.
Angel nodded.
Angel: Anyway Doyle said only the immortal can stop him. So here we are.
Xander cursed under his breath. Goodwin did the same. Raphael just stared straight at Angel.
Raphael: Randall is tough. He loves to fight. I'll help you.
Doyle chuckled.
Doyle: What'd I tell ya Angel? Huh?
Angel sighed and leaned back against the wall.
Angel: When did you start wearing a duster Xander?
Xander just shrugged.
Xander: About the time you started getting your ass kicked i'd guess. Wait. I haven't been alive that long.
Angel glared at Xander who glared back with equal intensity.
Buffy: Stop it. Both of you. We have a job to do.
Xander took his eyes from Angel for a second and looked at Buffy.
Xander: Raphe has a job to do. We're just here for backup.
Buffy nodded grudingly. Not liking being number 2. Or in this case the unwitting number 3.
Giles: How do you know Mr.?
Raphael looked toward Giles for the first time.
Raphael: Raphael. Just call me Raphael.
Giles nodded.
Giles: Very well Raphael. If you don't mind me asking how do you know Xander?
Raphael had to think quickly.
Raphael: He help Goodwin and I out of a jam a couple days ago.
Giles nodded accepting that answer. Xander sighed inwardly with relief. The look of relief on Xander's face did not get by Angel's eyes however.
Buffy: So what are we going to do about Angel?
Raphael shrugged.
Raphael: Wait for Randall to show. Thats all we can do.
None of the people or demons present liked that idea. But they were in a corner. And right now Raphael was the only one that could get them out.
Okay thats it for chapter 3. I think it was a little longer than the first 2 but i'm not sure. I'll have the next chapter out today or tomorrow. this fic is coming to me quickly. much like White Knight did. Thanks for all the reviews. Keep it up. Later!
