DISCLAIMER: "They followed me home, can I keep them?"
"No, Joss owns them, now give them back." "Sigh."
They folk on "Angel" and "Buffy" might not be mine,
but I still like to play with them.
The concept and figures of "Slayers" the Anime and the
Mangas belong to people with long and unspeakable
Japanese names that I have forgotten how to spell
The gods belong themselves, but the outlook of Ares is
obviously influenced by watching Xena.
DISTRIBUTION: Feel free ... just tell me, I'd like to know where
it goes to.
RATING: PG-13
PAIRING: Xander/Angel/Wesley
AUTHORS NOTES: English is still not my native language and this story is
not beta'd.
FEEDBACK: Is there a writer who doesn't want feedback ???
Constructive critic always welcomed
Flamers will be cursed with ancient and funny Chinese curses

The ground started to shake as huge amounts of power were forced into
the earth and bedrock. Inside the corridors and rooms that made out
the Initiative, everything was going to hell.
Gaia watched silently as the young redhead pushed more and more power
into the ground, reshaping the bowels of earth at the necessary points.
She didn't like having others playing with the physical manifestation
of her, far too often humans had damaged her in the past, but in this
case, she was silently helping the child, mentally guiding her spirit
and wordlessly pointing out the places where the redhead needed to push.
Slowly the earth opened, like a budding flower, releasing the underground
section of the Initiative, spitting it out like something very foul.
When the last of the complex had been ejected, the ground slammed shut
again, smoothed over as if all this had never happened.
Gaia sighed. Her work was done here for the moment. She would come back
later, if there was a later, to repair the damage of the surface and of
the cave system she had so lovingly designed so long ago.
***
She stood in front of the newly unearthed complex, her eyes glowing
silverwhite and she was smiling. Inside was the other, the one she had
to fight, her opposite. And he was coming, she could feel it.
***
Spike was about to rip into his sire when the ground started to shake.
With wide eyes they watched as the formerly hidden Initiative complex
arose from the earth to rest in the open.
"It's about to start," The man who had introduced himself as Ares said.
"What? What the fucking hell is going on here?" Spike screamed in
frustration.
Ares sighed, but it was Xander who answered his question.
"They say it is the final meeting, the ultimate battle between Good and
Evil."
Spike opened his mouth, but it seemed all words had left him for he
stood there speechless and rather silly looking with his jaw almost on
the floor.
***
He ignored the woman, huddled in a corner in his room, she was
unimportant. The only thing that mattered was that he was finally free.
Free to meet his other, free to battle and to win.
And A.D.A.M. stepped out of the door.
***
They could feel it, the coming of two opposite forces. It burned in their
blood, wormed its way through their scalps, itched on their skin and made
their hearts race.
Then the first of the two vessels appeared on the battleground and those
who knew her couldn't help but gasp at the changes in the slayer.
Her eyes were glowing solid white and a misty nimbus of manifested power
surrounded her, forming the shape of a ghostly dragon. Buffy's face was
completely devoid of emotions and looked like craved out of ice. Her
fingers ended in sharp talons now and on her back were two bat-like wings
in the same gleaming white as the nimbus around her.
And she had a tail.
The sound of someone opening a door made them turn around and they saw the
second power set foot on the battleplace. None of them knew him or had
seen him before, they would have remembered.
He looked like a wild mixture of human, demon and cyborg and his eyes were
a solid red. The nimbus around him, of a ghostly red color, was forming a
dragon as well. None of them knew if his tail, wings and talons were part
of the alteration by the power that had invaded him or naturally his.
He stepped forwards. "\The time had come/"
Buffy met him in the middle of the field. "/This will end today.\"
And without further words both opponents lashed out at each other.
***
Xander knew he should do something. If his mother was right, then he was
born, created to stop this from happening. But how?
The backlash of the power created by the fighting of the two hit him and
he knew he had do something quickly for the world wasn't meant to
take blows of that kind of power.
Xander stepped forwards.
Both opponents turned towards him.
"/Greetings, Child of the Golden One.\" The White power said formally.
"\We've awaited your appearance./" The Red power said no less formally.
"/We knew, no matter how long we fight,\"
"/The battle will be decided,\"
"/By the decision of the Chaos Child.\"
"\You have to make the choice/"
"\Between the two of us/"
"\Which one of us shall perish/"
"\And which shall prosper./"
"\Chose me,/" the White power said,
"\For I am the Goodness of the World./"
"\Chose me and I will wipe out everything Evil and Foul./"
"\Chose me and the World will be without pain and darkness./"
"/No, chose me,\" the Red power said,
"/Because, while I'm the Darkness, I'm pushing forward Evolution.\"
"/Without me, there will be only stagnation.\"
"/Without me, no one would learn.\"
Both forces gave each other the evil eye and then turned back to Xander.
"/\The Time has Come./\" The said together.
"/\The Time to choose./\"
"/\Make your Choice, Child of Chaos,/\"
"/\Lord of Destiny/\"
"/\Worldchanger/\"
And Xander stood there.
