-'Pirates of the Hellmouth.'-
A response to the 'Xander didn't dress up like a soldier for Halloween' challenge.
Pairings/Crossovers: A little W/X for the people, the title kinda makes the crossover obvious
A/N: Something a little lighter for Pete M. Special thanks to grossclout for editing and betaing. And thanks to Buffyworld.com for Halloween episode transcript.
A/N2: Keep those reviews coming people. God knows you can't write more unless you get reviews.
Disclaimers: I don't own anything relating to Buffy, Angel, or Pirates of the Caribbean.
Dedicated to Eddie.

Giles and Buffy walked infront of Ethan's Costume Shop. Giles looked around as motioned for Buffy to go in. She walked through the wall and yelled, "All clear!"
Giles picked the lock and quietly walked in. "Yes Buffy, make sure that everyone knows we are coming."
Buffy rolled her eyes. Giles shook his head and decided that surprise was gone so instead to just introduce himself. "Hello! Anyone home?"
Buffy looked around to see the curtain to the back room partially open.
She turned around and motioned to Giles. "Giles..."
They pulled back the curtains and slowly walked in and see a small marble statue in the middle of a large diagram on the floor. Its eyes glowed green.
Giles jaw dropped as he appraised the statue. "Janus. Roman mythical god."
Buffy looked around. "What does this mean?"
Giles took off his glasses and knelt down a little to be eye to eye with it. "Primarily the division of self. Male and female, light and dark."
He was interrupted by a new voice. "Ren and Stimpy."
Buffy and Giles turned to see Ethan in a long black robe smirking broadly. "I personally prefer Stimpy, I mean he's just so lovable."
Giles' face pales as though he's seen a ghost. "Buffy, get out of here, now."
"But..."
Giles turned to face her and shouted, "Now!"
He turned around to face the shop owner and growled, "Hello, Ethan."
Ethan smiled. "Hello, Ripper."

Jack, Xander, and Willow walked along the chorus if busses. "Tell me Will, what do you think is going on here?"
Xander shrugged as they passed three pirates painting 'BLACK PEARL' on the side of the black bus with bright silver paint. "I don't know, one minute, Elizabeth and I just woke up in this town, we didn't even recognize each other or anyone else."
He turned to look at Willow who nodded her agreement. "There was this blond girl, she could reach right through William and she seemed to know what was going on"
Xander nodded. "There was also a tall pale man with black hair, and another girl with black hair, they all seemed to know."
They stopped infront of the black bus. Jack turned to face the bus and seemed to be deep in thought. After several seconds of silence, Xander asked him. "Well, what do you think?"
Jack looked at him and said very seriously, "I think that I need to paint the rest of the ships as well, I mean, Yellow isn't very menacing is it?"

Spike looked down at his troops from atop a house on Revello drive. He had gathered his general assortment of demons and vampires, as well as any other creatures of the night or simply creatures he could find. En masse, he had sixty-three troops: thirty-one vampires, thirty demons or demonic creatures, and two...others. He turned to his second in command, "Where did we get the porcupine and the clown?"
The minion shrugged. "The forces are in place my lord. When should we attack?"
Spike looked at the line of school buses. 'The slayer should be here.' Two familiar faces interrupted his line of vision. 'The whelp and the snot,' he thought to himself, 'well, where there's smoke there's fire.' He knew the slayer well, if he got her friends, then she was as good as his.
He nodded to his lieutenant. "Start the attack."

Xander sighed. "No, what's going on in this town? Why are there demons and vampires and...odd giant lizards that breathe fire running amuck? Why don't the pirates die... again?"
Jack smiled at the young 'blacksmith.' "Well, I'm not sure, haven't seen any lizards, and oh," Jack smiled and looked upward as the gray clouds started to move, revealing the moonlight, "...moonlight shows us for what we really are."
Willow and Xander looked skyward to see the bright full moon shine through the dark clouds. As they looked down, they saw all the pirates' flesh and features rot away revealing bones and dead flesh. Jack smiled at them, his dark dreadlocks framing his bony face. "...all of us."
The two turned to each other. Willow saw her love's once slightly tanned loving face be replaced by a cold and gray corpse. His shirt ragged and his pants torn, he looked as if he rose directly from the grave.
Xander looked at her once radiant red hear fall lifeless and white by her side. Her dress was matted and old. When he looked back to her face, the beautiful pale cheeks and radiant smile had been washed away, leaving only a state of sadness. Xander looked into here eyes and saw them falter. He knew it was Elizabeth. The bodies could be dead and old, but the eyes, they still held her fire, her love...her soul.
Willow saw the cold skeleton infront of her break into a bizarre grin, it was almost as comforting as it was frightening. The corpse spoke. "I love you Elizabeth."
Xander saw her eyes well up with unshed tears. "I love you too William."
Jack smiled. "Well, as heartwarming and...eerie as that was," both turned their attention back toward the pirate commander, "as I was saying, it seems that we are all, well, dead."
Willow raised an eyebrow. "And?"
Jack pointed to the medallion on her chest and spoke with one breath. "Perchance it were that you have an old keepsake from last time, made entirely out of cursed Aztec Gold?"
"Yes."
Jack smiled and walked back towards the newly christened 'Black Pearl.' The gray clouds shifted constantly, allowing multiple moonbeams to dark through the night. "You two are smart young lovebirds. I'm sure you can figure it out."
The fat pirate ran to Sparrow and addressed him. Sounds of fighting and battle were heard. "CAPTAIN!"
Jack sighed. "Its Commodore, bloody _Commodore_."
A horde of Demons broke through one of the surrounding houses and charged the group. Xander and Willow brought about their weapons and charged into the melee. Jack simply heard the sound of glass breaking.
*Crash*
...the sound of glass bottles breaking...
*Crash*
...glass bottles of rum breaking.
"The rum!" Jack turned to face the oncoming horde. "CHARGE!!!"
