The Master's Cave

~ The Slayer's Spirit was disoriented; after the vampire called The Master drained its last host he had tried to turn her. There had always been safe guards in both Slayers and Potentials alike, guarding against the intrusion of the spirit that summons the demon. The act though usually left the Slayer Spirit disjointed, this time was much worse; it was drained, needing a host quickly. It felt one worthy of it approaching quickly; not ideal, but the Slayer Spirit could change that. ~

Xander could tell that he had been too late the second he saw her body, but he couldn't leave without trying. After giving Angel a crash course on how to be his second, they began the CPR. Just as he had thought, it was a futile attempt. Standing, Xander was surprised by the sudden wave of dizziness that assaulted him. To his surprise Angel grabbed his arm, keeping Xander from hitting the ground.

"Are you ok, you look a bit pale." Angel had to give the young man in front of him the respect he deserved, even if his attempt proved to be useless. The fact that he was the only one to try impressed him.

"Yeah, it's strange I suddenly feel a lot stronger." Xander turned and made his way toward the exit of the cave. The Master had escaped and he knew that they would be needed at the 'Mouth. 'If I'm going to die, it'll be fighting.' Xander promised to himself.

"Xander, I think you should stay here," Angel remarked as he stepped in front of Xander. When Xander pushed past him, sending him crashing into the wall they both stopped.

"No. No, I feel stronger, I feel. different." Xander took off at a full sprint, rubbing the back of his neck. Ever since he had felt dizzy, his neck had been tingling and a strange feeling sat in his groin.

Xander had lived his entire life and knew all the short cuts, within minutes he was at the school. Strangely enough Xander could both feel and hear Angel behind him. What bothered him the most was the certainty of the location of The Master, the unwavering destination of where he needed to go.

When they got to the entrance to the roof, Xander didn't even slow down, he just pushed the door open, ripping it off its hinges. When the unlikely duo got to the roof they saw The Master looking in through the skylight, clapping his hands idly.

"Yes. Come forth, my child. Come into my world."

"I don't think it's yours just yet," Xander commented.

The Master looked over at the young man for a second before dismissing him. until he felt a familiar presence. "It's not possible, the Spirit needs a balance. Yang and Yang would destroy one another," the Master mumbled under his breath. Xander didn't understand, Angel did. Everything clicked into place for Angel.

"No matter, I shall destroy this host just as easily," the Master growled and reached his arm out to try his hypnosis on Xander again. Xander pretended to be under his spell until The Master got close to him.

"You have fruit punch mouth."

The Master looked startled by this. Ever since he had gained the power of hypnosis, only one Slayer had been able to resist it. That Slayer had single-handedly decimated his army, and almost killed him. If she hadn't been worn out by battling his minions, she would have won the day.

Xander swung a wide hard punch to his mouth, and The Master fell like the freaky looking bitch he was. "Save the hypnosis crap for the tourists."

As he got up, Xander executed a swinging roundhouse kick that connected squarely with his face. He swiped at him and Xander jerked back, but The Master managed to slice him with his fingernails across his upper right chest, drawing blood. Xander responded with a devastating punch to the kidney. The Master punched Xander in the jaw. Xander tried to punch him again, but was blocked and The Master responded with punches to the face, sending him flying backward into the wall behind him.

The Master was ready to continue fighting. Xander launched himself into a front tuck over his head and landed between him and the skylight. Xander kicked him in the side with a side snap kick, but he quickly turned around and grabbed Xander by the neck

"Where are your jibes now?" Xander looked behind him and saw the upended table through the skylight. "Will you laugh when my Hell is upon Earth?" Xander knocked The Master's hand away from his neck and grabbed his.

"If you're so amped about hell, go there" Xander quipped as he lifted The Master and him up and flipped him over himself and through the skylight. The Master fell down with a shocked look on his face and was impaled on the table. He slowly turned to ash until only his skeleton was left. Xander watched from above. He noticed Giles standing up below him. The Hellmouth creature quickly disappeared back into the floor, and all the vampires had turned to dust.

Cordelia pushed the last of the junk away from her and Jenny and pulled the door open for Angel and Xander. They all walked over to the Master. Giles was watching from the side, he noticed the lack of his Slayer immediately.

Nobody said a thing until Xander fell to the ground writhing in pain; he curled into a ball screaming. As everybody rushed towards him, a cocoon of solid light grew out of his now unconscious form, preventing them reaching the young hero.
