Can't Deny Destiny Chapter 9
There was an air of tension in the car as they drove to the meeting place. Last night, they could afford to be cocky because they outnumbered Buffy and the Scoobies, now the tides were turned.
Jondy pulled her car into the warehouse and got out of the car. Liz and Faith got out slower. Max sat in the passenger seat staring out the windshield. Jondy popped the trunk and started clipping weapons and holsters to her. Faith and Liz followed suit.
Jondy noticed Max sitting and went to her door, she knocked on the window. Max jumped as her thoughts were broken. She opened the door, "Sorry."
"What's up?"
"Logan." Max said. "I mean, I was... and he."
"I know." Jondy interrupted. "I'd swear of the species if I didn't love Zane so much." She said with a smirk.
"What's going to happen with you and Zane?" Max asked.
"Depends on how this goes, and then the prophecy." Jondy said, stretching her neck. "But now's not the time. Get your head in it. We fail here and we loose Faith." Jondy smirked, "No pun intended."
Max smirked and nodded, steeling herself. She got out of the car and found a knife to use as her weapon.
Jondy covered the car with a tarp. "If we get pinned at any time, we retreat to the car and then we get the hell out of here." She said. The others nodded. Jondy and Liz both pulled their hair up into pony-tails. Jondy pulled on her ski-cap to keep as much of her hair out of her eyes as possible.
Once they were all geared up, the went and sat down on the series of crates that shielded the car. A little later the main doors opened and Buffy lead the crowd back in. Jondy's eyes did a quick count, they were short two. She got to her feet and signalled that only Faith was to move with her. The other two rose to their feet but hung back.
Buffy and Willow and Xander came up. Willow and Xander flanking Buffy on either side. Xander held a semi-automatic rifle. It wasn't hard to tell by the way he held it that he knew how to use it and the fact that it was on safety was intentional.
Jondy flipped her jacket open, she had a pair of handguns on either hip. She met Xander's eyes. She knew her guns much better than him and she wanted him to be VERY certain of that. Buffy stopped and eyed both Jondy and Faith. "What the hell are you?" She asked.
"Genetically enhanced super-soldier." Jondy said. It had been decided that she would be the one to talk.
"And you're not dead how?" Willow asked.
"Healed by an alien." She answered.
"And we're supposed to believe you, why?" Xander asked.
Jondy moved with lightning speed and had her guns out and pointed at Willow and Xander before he could even un-safety his gun. "Believe what you want." She said before sliding her guns back into her holsters, "We're here to talk."
"Give us Faith and we'll let you--." Buffy started.
Jondy interrupted "Let us what? We are in control of the situation here."
"I don't care what you are," Buffy said, "She's a criminal and she needs to be taken back into custody."
Jondy rolled her eyes, "I've had brothers do worse."
"I can't let you walk out of here." Buffy insisted again.
"Again with the 'let' thing. You're not in control here."
"Faith will not go free."
"Why the fuck not?" Jondy asked, really starting to get impatient.
"Because it's wrong." Buffy said, trying to snap out and hit her. Before Jondy could move, Faith blocked Buffy's blow and delivered a swift kick to her ribs.
Jondy peeled off and with a sweeping kick, knocked the gun from Xander's hand and as she turned, her fist connected heavily with Willow's face. The redhead fell, instantly out.
Liz and Max blurred across the warehouse and split up to start fighting against the remaining members of the Scooby team.
Jondy hit Xander a couple more times before she finally decided to end the fight and knock him out. She worked interference, keeping anyone else away from Buffy and Faith.
The two circled each other, both in a fighting stance. Buffy watched Faith's even and calm breathing, "Cale said you're not even human, atleast you have an excuse right?"
Faith chuckled, "Whatever you need to tell yourself."
"You really are just a monster, all I got to do is put you back into your closet." Buffy said.
"Keep talking, B. You're just sounding more and more like an ignorant bitch. But you know what, put me out of my misery. Shut up and fight me."
Buffy launched out with a stream of blows and punches, each one easily blocked by Faith. Soon, Buffy's offensive turned to defence as Faith's speed and started to easily over-come her. The first blow that landed surprised Buffy, but then it was just one steady blow after another. By the time she felt each hit, another three had landed somewhere on her. And finally Buffy felt the weightlessness of being kicked through the air. She crashed into a pile of crates.
Buffy shook her head, not realizing how long it'd been since she crashed into the crates. Long enough for all four of the X5's to be around her. She blinked and looked for her friends, but she only saw boots and tops of heads on the floor. The X5's had won. She tried to stand but she couldn't put any pressure on her arm or leg, both seeming to be broken or at the least, very painful. She tried to breathe in but that also hurt. She looked up at the girls, "You haven't won."
Liz and Max both chuckled. Jondy smirked and shook her head. "What the hell are you talking about?"
"I called the cops before we came." Buffy said, and almost as if on cue sirens began to wail.
Jondy took off towards the car. Liz hurried after. "You're so cheep." Max said.
Faith shook her head, "You can't win so you got to cheat." She reeled back and kicked Buffy in the head.
There was a squeal as Jondy pulled up behind them. "NOW!" She ordered. Max and Faith climbed into the car and Jondy sped into the door, blowing into a hundred shards and out to the Seattle streets.
