Crash and Burn Part 3
**
NoV Hi, hi! (coughs) Please pardon our dust. Xander is trying to spike his hair and Spike...Spike is smoking.
Spike: (puffs) So?
Xander: You'll think I'm cute as soon as I'm spiked.
NoV: Anyway, I brought Buffy along, since, along with Xander, she'll be in this portion.
Buffy: I'm flattered. Really. I am.
Oz: We can tell.
Willow: I really hope I'm all right...
NoV: ?Oh-kay?
Willow: The pseudo-me.
NoV: Ah.
Spike: Why do I have to be here? Am I even in this chapter? So far I've been in none of them-
NoV: There have only been two.
Spike: ..your point being--?
NoV: It's 'neither of them.'
Spike: -.-0 NEITHER of them. I've been in neither of them, and I've been here the entire time! Why?
NoV: Because you're SO cute!!
Xander: Cuter than me??
NoV: Oy...(falls over) On with the story.

Willow opened her eyes. Her dreamless sleep had been short-lived. She shuddered, wiping sweat from her pale forehead. She sat up in bed, wondering where she was and what the intense pain covered by a large white bandage in her abdomen was from.
Suddenly, like a brilliant flash of light exploding in the dark, she remembered everything: the beach, the crash, the blood, the glass, the ambulance, the hospital, fainting, Oz..Oz!
Willow slid out of the hospital bed, wincing in pain as she did.
She stuck her head out the door, checking to see if anyone was watching. Grabbing a housecoat, she began to stroll down the hall at a quickened pace, trying to find the room her boyfriend had been placed in.
Room 204..204..where was it? She noticed the doors on her left. 307..308..it must have been in the other direction.
Willow turned around and went in the other direction. She turned down a different hall to find herself closer to the room she wanted. Room 211..210..209..208..207..206..She could see room 204.
Suddenly, a scream was heard from the exact same door she had been staring lovingly at seconds before. Willow broke into a run toward the door thirty yards in front of her.
Xander jerked his body out of Room 204, and, gazing at Willow, shrieked, "Watch it! It's like The Exorcist in there or something!"
**
Ten minutes earlier...
Buffy and Xander, having received the phone call from the hospital at Willow's request, arrived on the second floor. Buffy had brought flowers, and Xander had brought plenty of good jokes, as he usually did.
They asked the receptionist for the room where Willow was, but since she was still in surgery, they visited Oz instead.
Buffy creaked open the door and stuck her head in. "Oz?" she whispered, not wanting to disturb his rest. She motioned for Xander to follow her in, upon seeing him sleeping, peacefully.
Xander sweatdropped as he heard the werewolf's snoring. "And I was worried," he muttered, rolling his eyes.
"Do you think Willow is oh-kay too?" Buffy asked, quietly, worried for her best friend.
"I'm absolutely sure," Xander said, comfortingly. "Unless she's been kidnapped by some insane blood-thirsty vamp. Then, she's not oh-kay."
"That isn't funny, Xand."
"I know. At least I tried."
Buffy's eyes snapped open wide as she sensed evil. She stood up very straight and looked around in every direction.
"What's the matter-" Xander began, but was silenced when Buffy put a hand up.
The lights suddenly flickered off for a few seconds, and then back on. Then, they went off. And they stayed off.
"AAAH!!" Xander cried, pointing.
Buffy looked into the direction he was pointing. She gasped. A greenish, glowing entity, shaped like a thin, sleek form was stalking along the wall.
"What is that thing??" Xander demanded.
Buffy didn't answer. She stared intently at it. It moved its "head" and the Slayer could have sworn she saw it grinning evilly at her. It abruptly spiraled forward and began to melt into Oz's body.
It took the blonde about two and a half seconds of blinking before she was in action. She toppled on the green shadowy thing and grabbed it by its "neck," forcing it away from the musician. It seethed angrily at her and slashed a clawed "hand" across her face. Buffy gritted her teeth in pain but refused to let go.
Xander held his head in confused agony. Should he help Buffy and risk getting killed and/or sliced, or should he stand by and watch as Buffy got killed and/or sliced? Decisions..
"I'm coming!" he exclaimed. He grabbed Buffy by the waist, helping her pull the green thing out of Oz, who continued to snore, oblivious to all around him.
They both cried out in exertion, pulling and yanking with all the strength they possessed.
Speaking of possessed...
The entity soon grew tired of playing with the foolish humans and slashed both of them at once. This resulted in them both loosening their grip long enough for it to get free and to suck itself into Oz's body.
"NO!!" Buffy shrieked.
Oz's eyes slowly opened. They glowed green. An evil grin plastered itself along his face. "It's so nice to be in possession again," he said, his voice a mangled, deepened version of the werewolf's usual voice.
"Holy crap!!" Xander shrieked, backing away and leaving the room. He turned around and saw Willow, who had a look of terrified surprise on her face. "Watch it! It's like The Exorcist in there or something!" he said, warningly.
"What's going on?" she asked, worriedly.
Xander looked from Willow to the room a couple of times. Suddenly, he grabbed her shoulders and looked into her eyes. "Willow, I hate to tell you this, but..your boyfriend's been possessed."
"What??" Willow demanded. Then, in a very un-Willow-like manner, she pushed past Xander and strolled into Room 204, angrily. The Wiccan gasped, seeing Oz, HER Oz, attacking Buffy. She stood there, in stunned silence for a few moments.
Regaining her composure, Willow desperately tried to pull Oz away from her best friend. Buffy, whether out of shock, or not wanting to hurt him, was not fighting back.
After struggling with him for a few minutes, Willow managed to pull Oz away from the petite blond. Xander zipped to her side and stooped down, checking her for serious injury.
"Oz?" Willow questioned, tearfully. "Why are you doing this?"
Eyes, green eyes, with no coloring except for green, glared at her, spitefully. "The Slayer must die. The end is coming." He fought against what had before been Willow's gentle embrace, and had become a grasping hold.
"Xander!" Willow cried, tremulously. "Help me!!"
Xander left Buffy's side and stared at Willow and Oz, the latter trying to escape the former. He stood there, admiring the scene.
"And, you want me to do what?" he wondered, casually.
"Xander!!" Willow wailed, stretching Oz's shirt.
"The Slayer must perish. The end is near," Oz, or whomever was possessing Oz, said, with an evil grin.
Buffy stood up. She had gotten out of the scuffle, only getting a couple of scratches across her face, a black eye, and a bruise here and there. She looked at the spectacle before her, and pulled out a stake.
"Want me to stake him?" she asked, holding it up.
Willow wailed in fear. "NO!! Does he look like a vampire to you??"
Oz beared fangs and hissed.
Willow stopped pulling on his shirt for a few seconds. "Oh-kay..so maybe he really is a vampire..but that's no reason to kill him!!"
In Willow's delay, Oz broke free and zipped right towards Buffy, who looked from him to Willow, and decided that she couldn't stake him. But he was going to suck out all her blood...which would suck.
Before she had a chance to decide what needed to be done, a blinding silver light flooded the room, stopping Oz in his tracks. He shrieked in pain, cursing in an unknown language, and fled through the window. Then, as quickly as the light had entered, it left.
Willow, Xander, and Buffy stood there, stunned at the entire event.
"That was fun," Xander commented. "Do it again! Do it again!" he exclaimed, childishly clapping his hands.

NoV: I'm SO sorry for being this late on updating!!
Spike: No, you're not.
NoV: Yes, I am.
Spike: You're not.
NoV: I AM, darnit!!
Spike: Fine! You ARE!!
NoV: Don't mess with me. I have garlic breath.
Spike: Ew.
NoV: My computer died. That's why I haven't updated. I'm diligently working on the next chappie, which should be up VERY shortly, so any and all fans-
Oz: (makes a cricket sound)
NoV: ANY and ALL fans should look forward to the next installment. Thank- you for your loyalty through this tough time. Next time in the corner, Zel, Xel, Goo-chan, and..erm..I guess Amelia will join us..?
Oz: Oh-kay..so, what're they like?
NoV: Well..Xelloss is like Xander..
Xander: Cool! We begin with the same letter and everything...
NoV: Yes..strange..who's like Oz? ...lemme think of somebody with an O..
Oz: Anything?
NoV: I'm thinking...
Buffy: This could take a while...
NoV: ..
(Ten hours later...)
NoV: Zelgadis is like Spike..it's close enough.
Xander: How about Giles?
NoV: Well..there's Gourry..no. That's DEFINITELY not a match. Then there's Gaav..Gaav is evil. I hate Gaav.
Xander: So that's a no-go, too?
NoV: (nods) Anymore G's..there's a ValGaav. That's probably as close to Giles as we'll get.
Oz: What about C? For Cordelia?
NoV: Lemme think...there's a Kopii Rezo..close enough?
Buffy: How about B for Buffy?
NoV: Umm..Beastmaster Zelas.
Willow: W!
NoV: Turn the W into an M and it can be Martina.
Oz: (snaps fingers) Ooh! I've got it. D for Daniel.
NoV: (enlightened) Ah. That's easy. Dynast. Dolphin. Pick one.
Oz: Dolphin's a girl, right?
NoV: Right.
Oz: I pick Dynast, then.
NoV: Oh-kay, now that we've got all that straightened out-
Buffy: (suddenly) Angel!! What about Angel??
NoV: (sigh) Amelia. Sorcerer A.
Buffy: (gets mushy)
NoV: Catch you on the flip side. Oh, btw, I have new fanart of possessed-Oz attacking, or TRYING to attack Buffy. It's really funny & cute too. If you want it, drop me a line! See ya!
