Chapter 18: Graduation Day part 2
Buffy and Angelus made their way to the library at quarter of nine, they had gotten enough sleep and they were now ready to kick demon ass. Just because the demon happened to look like Wesley, just made it more enjoyable. It was also a good thing that everyone had left town, because carrying two broad swords coated in Slayer blood was hardly inconspicuous, despite what Giles said about everyone in town being oblivious.
"So," a voice said behind them causing Buffy and Angelus to whirl around, swords raised, "Are we going to die?"
"No, Synder we are not." Buffy told him.
'Although if you really want to, it can be arranged.' Buffy thought and Angelus started to laugh, startling Synder.
"What is so funny about this?" he asked, like the troll that he is and Buffy started to laugh.
"Sorry," she muttered, although she really did not mean it. She quickly grabbed Angelus' arm and dragged them into the library, both of them still laughing. A frazzled Giles and Jenny came out of Giles' office.
"We weren't doing anything." Giles muttered, turning bright red.
"Chill Giles." Buffy said, "I don't care so long as you never ever tell me."
'Besides, been there done that.' Angelus thought and Buffy shot him a dirty look that told him that he would be sleeping on the couch for the next year if he said it out loud.
"And what have you two kids been doing?" A British voice asked, followed by a smack. "Ow! What did you do that for pet? And can you do it again, when we are alone?"
"Jeez," Faith said, smacking him upside the head again, "Are you really that dense?"
"Yes!" Buffy, Angelus, Giles, and Jenny said together, startling everyone into a laugh, except for poor Spike who was pouting.
"Oh God!" Cordy said, as Doyle, Oz, Willow, and her walked into the library, "They've snapped! We are going to die!" Angelus, Faith, Spike, Buffy, Giles, and Jenny laughed even harder.
"Uhh, Cordy," Willow said, "I just think we walked in at the wrong time." she said as Oz and her made their way to their friends' side.
"Anyone seen Wesley?" Buffy asked, as she finally began to calm down.
"Which one?" Faith asked, as she took her sword from Angelus.
"Preferably the not evil one."
"There is one of those?" Faith asked sarcastically.
"Faith," Wesley said, walking into the library, "I'm hurt."
"Not yet." She muttered under her breath and Buffy started to laugh. "What?" she asked innocently, when Wesley turned to glare at her.
"So," Buffy said, "What is the game plan?"
"Well, we will recite the spell, while you distract the demon and then you can kill him." Giles told them.
"Hey, Wes. You okay?" Buffy asked, as she eyed the other watcher who had grabbed his stomach as though in pain.
"Well, that started earlier than planned." He muttered, "Oh, well time for you to die." He raced back outside and Buffy, Faith, Angelus, and Spike followed him outside, while the rest began the ritual.
Giles, Jenny, Willow, Oz, Doyle, and Cordy formed a circle and they began reciting the spell together.
"We call upon the goddess of all, to give us the protection we seek." They began, each one lighting a candle and placing it on the floor in front of them.
"I am the Father," Giles said, laying a Taro card down in front of him.
"I am the Witch," Jenny said, placing her card down.
"I am the Heart," Cordy said, placing her card down.
"I am the mind." Willow said, her card going down.
"I am the Seer." Doyle said, placing his card down.
"I am the Werewolf." Oz said, placing werewolf hair down.
"We call on you to aid your daughters in stopping his ascension." They said together and they felt power flow through them and immediately passed out.
Outside
"So, where is Wesley," Buffy asked conversationally, as Angelus, Spike, and Faith made a box around the demon.
"All tied up at the moment." He said, his pain began to fade and he readied himself to ascend, but then the pain stopped and he was still in human form. "What happened?" he asked, confusion marring his face.
"Gee," Faith said, tapping her chin with her finger, like she was in deep thought, "Maybe we got there before you?"
"It doesn't matter," demon boy said, "I will open the hellmouth."
"Sorry," Buffy broke in, "The hellmouth got a new location." She nodded to Faith and both girls advanced, swords raised. Demon boy tried to escape them, but was met by Angelus and Spike. He kicked Faith in the stomach sending her flying back into the ground and then turned to face Buffy.
"He will leave you." He said, working on Buffys' fear. "You will die and grow old and he will leave you." He kicked Buffy as she looked at Angelus and then began to run, only to be tackled by Spike. Spike decked him, sending him sprawling into Angelus, who kneed him in the stomach and then gave him an uppercut, which sent him sprawling onto the ground. He wearily got to his feet and eyed the group and knew he was screwed. "You will die and I will the one.."
"Ya, ya, ya." Faith said, kicking him in the stomach and then using him as a punching bag, "Your going to kill us, blah blah blah." She mocked and then hit him again, only this time he caught her hand and twisted it behind her and then shoved her into Spike, who caught her easily.
"Not that it matters," Buffy said, as Faith and her began their attack again, "Because you will be dead, but we will be fulfilling a prophecy and we will live as long as they do." She told him and demon boy stood still in shock for a second. But that second was all that it took, Faith ran him through with her sword.
"You cannot kill me with a sword." He declared and then fell to the ground in pure agony.
"No, but one coated in Slayer blood should do the trick." Angelus said, as demon Wesley melted into the ground.
"Well, at least he cleaned up after himself." Buffy muttered as they began to walk inside.
"You saved us." Snyder yelled, hiding behind a chair, he walked over and handed Faith and Buffy six rolled up slips of papers. He took off in the other direction, muttering something about leaving the hellmouth. Buffy and Faith unrolled two of the papers.
"Diplomas!" they exclaimed together and took off running into the library, tripping over the unconscious bodies. Angelus and Spike started laughing when they saw them fall, until the two slayers kicked their feet out from under them. They all started laughing at the situation.
"I am so glad that you find this situation amusing." Giles said dryly as he came awake. The others began to awake, everyone rubbing their heads as they began to get headaches. Buffy and Faith passed the diplomas out and they looked at them and shrugged.
"We survived," Oz said.
"Ya, it was one hell of a battle."
"No, not the battle, high school." Oz said, "Take a moment." Everyone paused and looked around and then at their diplomas.
"Were to next?" Buffy asked, looking at Angelus.
"Ireland." He told her, but he wouldn't tell her about the ritual or anything else.
"Moment taken." Oz muttered as the group walked off.
Single figures dressed in military garb stood behind a tree, watching the group leave.
"Ma'am?" he asked, using his radio.
"Go ahead, Lilac."
"They have left and have mentioned something about Ireland. I do believe that these are the slayers."
"Good, can you identify them?"
"No, I do not know their names."
"Alright, return to base, Lilac."
