Subject: Xander/Tara
Xander ducked the wild swing from Valnon as the demon got back to
it's feet and quickly jumped back as it's other claw tried to take
his legs out, Faith came from behind and managed to ram her dagger
into the demons side. Valnon roared in pain and smashed Faith into
Angel and Spike as they rushed forward to help, Faith hit her head on
a rock cutting her forehead but she quickly got back to her feet and
ran forward again.
Buffy rushed forward and launched a fury of strikes which Valnon
easily blocked, Xander summoned his powers again and launched a black
ball of fire at the demon's back. Valnon shrugged of the attack with
ease and landed a blow to Buffy's side that he quickly followed up
with a kick that slammed her into the cavern wall. He turned to face
Xander who was just razing his sword again
"Time to die Sorcerer" he sneered
Tara came to stand by Xander's side her eyes once again glowing red
as she summoned all of her power and that of her ancestor. Valnon
approached it's horn began glowing purple as it's claws seemed to
expand
"I will crush your mate first," Valnon hissed as he launched himself
at Tara
Tara somehow managed to side step the attack and raised her hand
shooting out a wave of gold light which sent Valnon into the wall,
Xander had also moved out of range of the attack and summoned a ball
of blue of magic and sent it at Valnon as he approached again. The
ball seemed to disappear inside the old one who screamed out, as he
was set alight. Faith and Buffy both rejoined them as Valnon used his
own power to stop the fire. Tara was about to launch another attack
when she was engulfed in a huge wave of black light, she screamed out
in agony as the magic began to drain her defensive powers.
Xander was quickly overcome with rage as he heard Tara's scream and
rushed forward and slammed into Valnon, he smashed the hilt of his
sword into the demon's face repeatedly not caring as the demon's
blood began to splatter him. He raised his sword to strike again but
Valnon managed to slam his elbow into Xander's chest knocking him off
him, Rachel and Jill began chanting a counter spell to release Tara
as she screamed again. Buffy attacked Valnon as he got back to his
feet and Faith quickly joined her. Tara fell to the floor semi-
conscious as Rachel and Jill finally managed to counter Valnon's
attack, Willow and Xander both rushed over to see if she was okay.
"Xander she'll be fine but they need you" Jill told he cousin as he
came to kneel at Tara's side indicating the two slayers who were both
trying to get to their feet to face Valnon again
Xander looked to where Buffy and Faith were and then back to Tara and
back again, Jill placed her hand on his shoulder causing him to look
at her as Rachel knelt down to check Tara's pulse. Jill indicated the
slayers again and Xander reluctantly nodded as he turned and attack
Valnon as he picked Faith up and slammed her into the wall. Xander
brought his sword down in a wide arc this time managing to cut
through the demon's tough skin drawing blood, Valnon dropped Faith as
Angel and Spike finally joined the fight. Valnon smashed his elbow
into Xander winding him, and then faced the two vampires as Buffy
checked on Faith.
Angel ducked the wide swing as Valnon stepped forward to engage them
however Spike was not as lucky as was sent flying into the injured
Graham as he finally approached the others. Angel managed to land two
blows on Valnon's chest before Valnon swung back his claws cutting
deep into the ensouled vampires chest causing a loud cry of pain from
him before Valnon picked him and flung him at the remaining members
of the order who side stepped the flying vampire as he smashed into
the wall and slumped to the floor unconscious.
Xander stood ready to attack again as Valnon turned to face him, one
again the horn was glowing but Xander was more prepared for any attack
"Now we end this Sorcerer" Valnon said
"Your end is now" Xander shot back as he summoned every bit of power
within causing his sword to begin glowing gold
Valnon rushed forward with it's left hand posed to strike Xander head
on, but Xander did nothing but wait until Valnon was a few inches
from him before he raised his sword impaling Valnon as he charged,
the demon roared in pain as Xander fell to his knee's weakened from
using nearly all of his power, Tara managed to stand with Willow's
and Jill's help as she summoned her own power and channelled it into
Xander through their link. The sword glowed even brighter as Valnon
cried out in more pain, as the others all watched a field of gold
energy seemed to surround Valnon and Xander who was still holding
onto the sword
"Faith catch" Rachel shouted tossing the dark slayer a large axe that
Giles had been using
Faith caught it and prepared to strike when she was told although she
didn't know how she knew someone would tell when the time was right.
The glow turned to a bright red and then black until finally it
faded, Valnon fell to his knee's as his blood coated the floor,
Xander weakly pulled the sword out of the demon and fell backwards
"Now" Xander said before he blacked out
Faith swung the axe high before bringing it down and taking the old
ones head clean off. A black cloud began to envelope the demon's body
as its blood poured out; it faded somewhat and then vanished.
"Giles burn the head quickly," Tara told the watcher as Jill and
Rachel helped her over to where Xander lay
Giles nodded and quickly took one of the torches off the wall and
walked over to where Valnon's head lay, he spat on the head once
before setting it alight. Wesley went to help Angel to his feet as he
came round, whilst Spike helped Graham back to his feet.
"Buffy you and Faith are going to have to carry Xander, he'll be out
of it for a while" Tara said to the two tired slayers, they nodded
and quickly picked up the unconscious form of their friend
Jill and Rachel suddenly began to glow white, both closed their eyes
as a searing pain ripped through them before the glow vanished.
"What was that?" Faith asked as she and Buffy walked towards them
carrying Xander between them
"The immortality spell we had placed on us has been lifted, we're
mortal now" Jill explained with a small smile glad that her fathers
prophecy was now finished and they could all live their lives without
worrying about it again.
"Giles, you and Wesley better take all the items and books off that
altar and take them with us. Some of them will be very deadly in the
wrong hands," Rachel said as they joined the others
The two watchers nodded and quickly took all the magical items and
books off the altar and placed them in the bags they had used to
carry their books
"What about the bodies of our fallen comrades?" Graham asked as he
leant of Spike for support
"We'll come back for them later, and then we'll blow the entrance to
these caves" Xander said weakly from in between the two slayers as he
regained consciousness
The others nodded grimly except for the three remaining members of
the order who quickly asked for their pay, Wesley had brought the
money with them knowing the order would want the money on completion
of their contract. They took the money and then left the, they took
one last look around the cavern and then left.
