Invincible -

A large fist came towards her, but Buffy managed to block it before going straight into fight mode. She side kicked the rather large vamp in the stomach and then in the head, and while he stumbled back turned to face the other, even larger, vampire that was standing behind her. She intercepted his kick by grabbing his foot and spinning him in the air causing him to land on the ground. She bent down and staked him and before he had a chance to go all dusty turned to her first opponent who was now charging her and staked him as well. Ok, she admitted it; she loved that feeling, when the stake collided with the vampire's heart and the sound of the vamp exploding filled the air. It was like her duty, her purpose, had been fulfilled and she was left with a sense of completion and accomplishment. It was all part of being the Slayer.

She looked around, assessing her opponents as well as trying to locate Spike, who was currently taking on 3 vamps, and doing very well, staking two of them consecutively before starting on the third. There had been about twelve vamps to start off with, not including their leader who was not in Buffy's sight at the moment. There were eight, no seven, wait, six, vamps left, she corrected herself after hearing Spikes stake collide with two more vamps. Oh, this was too easy. When would these guys learn not to attack one by one? They were definitely not master vampires, or great fighters for that matter, she thought as she started fighting three more vampires, one by one, of course. Idiots. She kicked the first one, and ducked, avoiding his massive fist, then grabbed it, twisted the vampire around pinning his arm to his back and used her free hand to stake him. She turned to see another vampire rushing her, crouched down, moved out of the way and slid a leg out to trip him. He fell, sprawled out on his stomach and she quickly knelt by him and staked him through the back. There were now two more left, growling at her and Spike who currently stood side by side. The vampires rushed towards the two and they stepped out of the way and turned to stake the two confused vamps in perfect synchronization.

"Ok, that was easy." Buffy said looking around as if waiting for more to charge out of nowhere and attack.

"Almost too easy." Spike said wearily before a silence fell upon them, which was shortly broken by the sound of someone clapping slowly. They turned around to face the head vampire who had disappeared during the fight.

"Good job. Well, I thought you would be good, but I had no idea, Slayer. Wow, that was amazing, both of you, really, I'm impressed." She said slyly a hint of sarcasm in her voice.

"Yeah well fighting vamps, kind of a normal day on the job." Buffy informed the vampire before her. "So, do you have a name I should know, or should we just get to the fighting?"

"Oh there wont be any fighting. At least not with me. My name is Candy. And unlike pathetic Phil who you met earlier, I *am* the leader of the vampires in this province." Candy was a small vampire, not much bigger than Buffy, but obviously had a lot of power. She had very light blonde hair that was up in a high, messy ponytail, and she wore a black leather mini skirt with a white blouse. She looked like some kind of deranged, Goth, schoolgirl. But Buffy and Spike could tell; she was a fighter.

"Ooo" Buffy said waving her hands slightly. "Candy? Come on...what, was cookie taken?" she asked sarcastically.

Candy decided to ignore her comment. "Who I am, that's not really the point." She continued, looking straight at the two. "The point is your boy - toy here was right. It *was* too easy." She said smiling evilly and motioning behind Spike and Buffy who turned in time to see all of the previously dusted vamps, un-dust themselves and stand, snarling, more then ready for another round.

"Ok, so we didn't win..." Buffy said with a nervous laugh.

"Bloody hell, didn't we just kill you wankers?" Spike asked, looking greatly annoyed, and before he knew it, round two had started. He was fighting off three vamps at a time, and not doing as well as before. He readied his stake while punching and dodging the vampires that seemed to have gotten stronger and faster.

"Spike...these guys aren't dying..." Buffy shouted as she staked a vamp only to have him reappear and kick her in the head.

"Noticed that, pet. Plus they seem mightily stronger than before." Spike yelled as he kept fighting off more and more growling vamps. He grabbed a vampire by the collar and head butted him.

"You're a vampire, man," the other vamp said. "What's with the noble act? You should be fighting *with* us, not *against* us!" he informed Spike.

"Yeah, well, I'm a rebel." He said before kicking the vampire in the head.

"Why?"-kick-"wont"-punch-"you"-kick-"die?!" stake. "Fuck." She muttered as the vampire reappeared and grabbed her neck, trying to choke her. She grabbed his arms and kneed him in the groin. He crouched over for a second before suddenly lunging and jumping on top of Buffy, straddling her, baring his fangs. She struggled, trying to hurl the vamp off her but he was so much stronger than before.

"Buffy!" she heard Spike yell, and saw him hit a vamp and try to make his way over to where she was only to be pushed back by another vampire. "Buffy!" he kept yelling, adrenaline surging through him at the thought of losing her. Again.

'This is it' Buffy contemplated as she was pinned under incredibly strong vampire. 'No.' she thought, not wanting to leave, she missed heaven, but she wasn't ready to go back, not now. Not after...everything, not after Spike. God this vampire was strong, so, so strong. She saw the hunger in the vamps eyes, and felt the helplessness that she hadn't felt in so long. 'No' she thought determined as the vampire began to speak.

"Never thought I would get to kill a slayer. Guess now's my chan-" he was cut off Buffy's stake was plunged into his heart, giving Buffy enough time to get out of the way in the 3 seconds it took for him to reappear.

"Not gonna kill this Slayer." She said, before punching him in the head with all her might. He went out cold. "Still got it, Buffy." She said to herself as she turned to make her way to Spike who was being ambushed

Buffy grabbed one of the vamps by the neck and tossed him aside. He landed in a heap, but quickly got up and charged Buffy. She hit him in the face and then kicked him in the gut, it was hard, he was stronger than her now, a feeling she wasn't used to, but she still kept the upper hand. She kicked him again in the stomach and he fell to the ground. Buffy ran over to Spike who had just wrestled another vamp off of him and grabbed his hand to help him up off the ground and hoisted him up.

"Buffy, are you alright?" he asked her, referring to her almost death moments ago.

"I'm fine, Spike. Not going anywhere yet, except far away from here. I'm thinking quick getaway," she said to him.

"Agreed." He said firmly. The two started to rush away when Spike stopped. "Wait, my axe. I forgot my axe." He said, remembering his axe that he had brought with him. He stopped and searching the ground.

"Spike! I think our lives mean a little more than your axe, and since these vamps don't seem to want stay poofed, I think we need to get the hell out of here. Now!" she said, grabbing his arm and trying to pull him away.

"But I like that axe. How am I supposed to seek redemption without a cool axe? Bet Angel got to have an axe..." he said.

"Oh my God are you twelve!?" Buffy asked, suddenly having a strong case of deja-vampire. "Lets go!" She said.

"Just a tic, its right over here." He said, ignoring Buffy's little outburst. He bent over to pick it up but as his hand grasped the handle of the axe a vampire's foot stepped on it, holding it down. Spike peered up to see the large, strong vampire snarling at him. "bloody he-" Punch. The vampire hit Spike and sent him flying through the air. "Shit." Spike swore, 'at least I have my axe' he thought as he realized he had the axe firmly in his grip. He charged the vampire and swung the axe at his neck. The vampire looked stunned for a second before turning to dust.

At that moment things went quite. The two vamps Buffy had been fighting stopped and backed away, and the five other vampires that were ready to charge stopped dead in their tracks. A cricket chirped.

"o...k..." Buffy said, looking around.

"Buffy." Spike said in surprise. "He's not reappearing."

"What?" Buffy asked.

"The vamp, he's not reappearing! Decapitation kills them!" Spike yelled as he began swinging his axe at the vampires near him, dusting 4, relieved to see they were not coming back.

"Well, this is interesting." Buffy said to the clearly frightened vampires in front of her. They might have been invincible a minute ago, but Buffy was a better fighter. A much better fighter. She kicked one in the head and then the leg, and then punched him in the stomach twice before delivering one last side kicked that sent him flying. She then turned to the other vamp and started fighting him, wearing him out little by little until he couldn't take it anymore.

"Buffy!" Spike yelled before tossing the axe, which she perfectly caught before swinging it at the vampire. He went poof. He was gone. Ha.

The last of the vampires decided they would rather 'unlive' then be dusted and fled to the woods to get far far away from the Slayer and her vampire.
