Episode II.
"We'd better return to the library to do some research on that demon," said Giles, "just in case he doesn't work alone."
"I don't think we need to go to the library to figure that out, Giles," replied Buffy, "Look."
She pointed behind Giles. The group turned to see three more of the giant demons towering above them. One of the demons stepped forward.
"You killed our brother."
Angel lunged for the demon, but it swatted him away with its powerful arm. Buffy tried to hold back her giggles as she looked at her boyfriend lying on the ground.
"What. I was just wearing him down," said Angel, attempting to downplay the embarrassment that he had felt for the second time tonight, "You'll thank me for this later."
"Quick, into the TARDIS," shouted the Doctor.
"We can't all fit in there," replied Buffy.
"Yes, yes we can," answered Giles, "Come on."
The Doctor opened the TARDIS door, then motioned for everyone to enter.
"Doctor, Romana, invite me in," yelled Angel.
One of the demons, realizing that he was fighting a vampire, pulled a small tree from the ground and was preparing to impale Angel through the back.
"Angel, this is no time for formalities," said Romana.
"JUST DO IT," Shouted Angel, "I'll explain later!"
"Come in, Angel," said Romana.
Angel quickly entered the TARDIS and closed the door, blocking the jab of the demon's makeshift stake.
"Thank you," Angel said, "Vampires can not enter a home without permission."
"We'll be safe here until they move on," said the Doctor as the group watched the three monstrous demons through the view screen.
"K-9, were you able to get any sort of a reading on the creatures," asked Romana.
"Negative Mistress," answered the robotic dog, his antennae spinning in response. "If only we could get to the library," Giles said, "I know I've read something about four demon brothers. There must be a way to stop them."
Romana thought for a moment as she watched the three demons standing near the TARDIS with their backs turned.
"Where is the library from here," she asked.
"At the high school," replied Buffy, "About five blocks that way."
"Why?" Giles asked.
Buffy understood what Romana was getting at.
"Those demons are big and tough, but they aren't exactly track stars," she answered.
"They had us cornered before, but they've left us an escape route this time," added Romana. "K-9, can you hold them off while we make our exit?"
K-9 processed the question. "Unknown, Mistress."
"Sure you can, K-9," the Doctor said, smiling and patting his little metallic doggie on the head, "I believe in you. Let's go."
The Doctor snuck out first. He picked up a rock from the ground and threw it over the heads of the demons and into the bushes beyond them. The demons retreated further away from the TARDIS. The Doctor motioned and the entire group left the TARDIS and snuck away quietly.
"STOP!" said one of the demons as he noticed what was happening. They began trudging toward the group. Just then K-9 rolled out of the TARDIS and began to fire his weapon at the three monsters. The demons were stunned by the weapon. It did not seem to hurt them, but it was allowing the gang to widen their head start.
"Good Boy K-9" the Doctor shouted as the group fled the cemetery.
"Thank you, Master," K-9 answered as he retreated back into the TARDIS.
The three demons pursued the gang for a short distance, until realizing that it was pointless to continue.
"They will have to return to their vessel at some point," said one of the demons.
"Then we will destroy the Doctor as the Master has commanded," said another.
The gang finally made it to the library.
"Hi guys," came a voice from behind.
"Willow, what are you doing here?" asked Buffy.
Willow pointed to the cage.
"It's that time of the month," she said nonchalantly, "Care to introduce me?"
"What," asked Giles, "Oh, yes, Willow Rosenberg, this is the Doctor and this is Romana."
"Pleased to meet you," said Romana as she shook Willow's hand.
"Indeed," said the Doctor as he moved at the library computer, frantically typing. The Doctor then wrote something down off of the screen and moved to the telephone. Everyone stood in silence as they watched him.
"GRRRRRRRR," came a growl from inside the book cage.
"Do you have a pet in there?" asked Romana inquisitively.
"Oh, that's just Oz," said Willow matter-of-factly, "He's my boyfriend."
"I see," replied Romana, not knowing what to say next. Willow motioned for her to come to the cage and she explained the whole story.
"Yes, I'm trying to get in touch with Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart," said the Doctor into the telephone, "Tell him it's the Doctor."
There was a long pause.
"Ahh Brigadier, how nice to speak with you again," said the Doctor with a smile. He listened to the voice on the other end of the phone. "Ahh, how lovely," he said with a laugh, "very much indeed."
Buffy and Angel stared at each other with confusion. The Doctor explained the situation they were in to the Brigadier.
"Yes...Yes...MmmHmm...Oh," murmured the Doctor into the phone, "That's right, I had forgotten! Thank you, Brigadier, you've been most helpful as usual."
The Doctor moved from the phone.
"Doctor, what is it?" asked Romana.
"That was the Brigadier," said the Doctor, smiling.
No one bothered asking who the Brigadier was.
"So were you two just catching up on old times or did this have anything to do with our current situation," asked Buffy.
"I was coming to that!" the Doctor snapped.
"Somebody didn't have their V-8 this morning," replied Buffy, "Is he always like that?"
Romana smirked and nodded her head in affirmation.
"In 1971, while I was confined to Earth by the High Council, the Brigadier and I ran into these very same creatures," said the Doctor, "Grautlogs, they're called. Four brothers. The Master had turned them loose on London in attempt to destroy me and take over the Earth."
The Doctor reached into his coat and pulled out a little white pouch.
"Jellybaby?" asked the Doctor.
"Ooh, yes," said Willow excitedly as she took the colorful, infant-shaped candy from the Doctor's hand.
"Grautlog demons, I should have remembered," exclaimed Giles as he grabbed a book and began thumbing through the pages, "Yes, they were first seen in the 14th Century in what is now the Bavarian region of Germany. They've been seen throughout history, usually carrying out the orders of the one who raises them from the dead."
"The Master," said Romana to the Doctor, "It has to be. He must be working on the behalf of the Black Guardian."
"It can't be the Master who's behind this," Buffy replied, "I killed him."
The Doctor was ready to continue his story, then he took in Buffy's statement.
"The Master's dead?" asked the Doctor intently, "Are you sure?"
"As a doornail," answered Buffy, "What exactly is a doornail?"
"It's very nice of you to worry about me," came a voice from the back of the library, "But I can assure you all that I'm very much alive."
"The Master," exclaimed Romana.
