Tribunal: Okay... I never told you to like AU fics. But, to flame a story, when you can easily just not review, shows how immature some people really are. Next time, if there is one, at least if you wanna flame, have a point besides "another au fic"
Elizance: I already had this written, and I don't really have the time to re-write. But, I love the idea of Ethan putting evil in Spike.
This ending is a bad one, and it's kinda me just wrapping it up. But it kinda makes me able to write a sequel... If you guys still want one. Cause I have the idea in my head already.
After a few hours of Giles showing Spike the basics of fighting, Faith was brought in. They were at the school library, which had become the girls' main training area, since Giles was the librarian.
Buffy was sitting at the desk, looking over the weapons that she would be bringing tonight. She was deciding on which ones she was going to hide on her, and where, when she heard a loud crash.
Looking up, she smiled when she saw Spike slowly getting up from the floor. Faith stood on the other side of the room, a smirk on her face.
"Not so cocky now, huh Captain Peroxide?" Faith said, walking over to him. She extended her hand and pulled him up. "Still wanna go?"
"Got to get all the training in that I can," he said. "Wanna be ready for the fight."
Buffy sighed and turned back to her weapons. She didn't want Spike to fight, she wouldn't be able to live with herself if he got hurt.
Who knows, I might not be living for long anyway, if Spike's dream is right. Maybe it's prophetic... No, it couldn't be. And even if it is, if dying is what I have to do to stop Ethan, then dying is what I'll do, she thought.
Eight o clock came, and Buffy was sitting on Giles sofa, trying not to think about what Spike had told her. She didn't want to die, she didn't want to leave Spike, and her family. But in order to save them, she had to. And she'd rather give up her life, then them be murdered.
"Are you ready?" Giles asked, walking into the room.
Buffy looked up at him, a far gone expression on her face. "Yeah."
"Don't sound so enthusiastic," Faith said, coming up behind Giles. "Let's go kick some demon ass."
And jump in a portal and die, Buffy thought.
----
The factory was dark, and Buffy, Faith, Giles and Spike crept around the back way. There was a large broken window that the four looked in on, trying to see how far Ethan had gotten with the portal.
The portal wasn't formed yet, but Ethan was surrounded by demons, chanting something from a book.
"That's a lot of demons," Spike said.
"Thirty," Giles counted. "Maybe thirty five."
"Well, we can each take ten," Faith said. "That means you Giles, can sit out for this one."
"Fat chance," Giles said, angrily.
"Okay you two, break it up," Buffy said. "I'm going to go in, distract them... For a while at least. He'll think I'm alone. That will give you guys the surprise element."
They all nodded, except for Spike. Just as Buffy was about to stand up, Spike grabbed her shoulder, and pulled her back down. She was about to speak when he leaned in and kissed her.
"Spike," she whispered when they pulled apart. "I have to..."
"I know," he said, catching his breath and leaning back. "Go."
Buffy smiled at him, and kissed him once more quickly on the cheek before running off. She ran to the entrance of the building, and slowed down when she saw a demon standing at the door.
Too easy, she thought, and headed for him.
She knew Ethan was smart, but to only put one demon on the door... Unless he's expecting me to come, Buffy thought. Of course he is. So he puts his weakest demon on the door to make me think he's lost it. Well I'll show him.
"Whoa," she said, when she felt two strong arms lifting her up from behind. "Okay, that, I didn't expect."
She looked up, and saw an ugly demon staring straight ahead. He lifted her like she was a piece of bread, and carried her over to the door. The demon guarding it, opened it with a smile on his face and held it while the other walked inside.
"Slayer," Ethan said, looking up from his book. "You honestly think I'm that stupid?"
"No more mind games," Buffy said. "No more demons. Why don't you fight me one on one, huh?"
"Cause then I'd be quite stupid," he said. "I'm aware that you are... Stronger than me. That is why all these demons are here."
"Demons are uncontrollable," Buffy said. "How do you know they won't turn on you?"
"They're under a spell," he said, in a tone like she should already know this. "Didn't Ripper figure that out?"
She mouthed the word "ripper" with a confused expression on her face. "Giles?"
He sighed. "Yes, Giles. An old pal of mine. How is he?"
"Shut up," Buffy said. "So, I know about your portal."
"I know you know," he said. "But now that you were stupid enough to come, no one will be able to stop it. You see, the only way to put an end to this before it destroys the world, is Slayer blood. Not just a drop, all of it."
"Clever," Buffy said. "Very clever. But you forgot one thing."
"What's that?"
"I'm a Slayer," she said, punching the demon that held her in the gut. He went flying backwards, and she kicked the next one who came at her. "And I don't just 'give up'. I fight till I die, and that's what I plan to do."
"Correction B, that's what we plan to do," Faith said, storming into the factory, the demon that was once guarding the door lay limp at her feet. "The Slayers."
"Slay... Slayers?" Ethan stuttered, looking from one to the other. "You mean, there's two of you?"
"That's right Ethan," Giles said, stepping in front of Faith.
"Ripper," Ethan growled. "So good to see you."
"Enough with the reunion crap," Faith said. "Let's fight."
Buffy waited a minute, watching as Faith and Spike took on the demons that came at them. Faith was fighting three at a time, while Spike was handling five. Buffy was about to go and help him when someone grabbed her from behind.
It wasn't a strong grip, one that she easily wormed out of. "Ethan, how brave of you," Buffy said, punching him in the face, knocking him unconciouss. "But, you're only a pathetic little man. You could never take me. Even with the element of surprise."
"B, look!" Faith yelled, pointing to a demon that held a book.
He was chanting words that Buffy didn't understand.
"He's opening the bloody portal!" Spike yelled, as the demons that were once fighting him, stopped.
He tilted his head in confusion, and watched as they all backed away, smirking.
"What the bleeding hell is going on?" he asked, looking to Giles.
"Faith!"
Faith turned towards the door when she heard her name being called. She saw Angel standing there, looking at her with worry in his eyes. She ran over to him, and wrapped her arms around his neck, holding on tightly.
"I... I followed you," he said. "What's going on?"
"A stupid little man decided he wanted to end the world, or bring hell demensions together, either or, and now he's opening a portal which will do just that, and me and B have to stop it... Go away. Leave. Get out of here," she said, pulling away from his hug. "Go, now."
"No, I..."
Faith shushed him and looked at the portal that was starting to grow bigger, then back to Angel. He stood there, confused and frightened. Faith felt for him. He was new to this world that was kept hidden, he didn't understand how it worked.
She smiled at him, and for the first time really felt like she was in love. It wasn't just about the sex anymore, she really loved someone.
Looking over to her left, she saw Spike carressing Buffy's cheek. Tears were streaming down her face, and her words were coming out in only a whisper. Faith knew what Buffy was doing; she was saying good-bye. She was going to jump into the portal, and she was going to die... Again.
The demons were all gone now, and Faith didn't understand why, but wasn't complaining. Giles was standing off to the side, watching in complete disbelief. He knew what Buffy would have to do, what she would have to give up. That was the first time she ever saw him cry.
In a matter of seconds, Faith found herself locked in a kiss with the man she loved like no other. At first he hesitated, he didn't think it was appropriate for what was going on around them.
Pulling away, Faith stared into his eyes and said. "I love you Angel."
"I... I love you too," he said, confused.
She smiled, trying to hide the tears that were starting to fall. "I'll be back."
Faith turned, and ran for the portal. She pushed Buffy out of the way when she tried to stop her, and kept running. She didn't look back, and she didn't think twice. She was a Slayer, this was her calling.
Yeah, Faith saved the day, what a shocker. Um, this is the end. I'm pretty sure.
Elizance: I already had this written, and I don't really have the time to re-write. But, I love the idea of Ethan putting evil in Spike.
