Ryan stumbled forward for a while; he stopped every now and then to catch his breath.
Jesus...he's got a punch.
Ryan wiped some blood from his face, the kick he took had really connected with his nose. He was bleeding a little but he just wiped his face every few moments.
Faith had a bruise the morning but was mainly okay. She sat in the library talking to some others and tapping her gut. When Darius entered the room she was the first to notice that his hair was long.
"Hey Darius what's with your hair?"
"I don't actually now, I tried cutting it but it grows when I can't see it for one reason or another."
"Rrrrright."
Giles walked from behind some books and saw Darius.
"Darius, Can I speak with you?"
Darius walked to Giles and the two spoke behind some bookshelves.
"What the hell are you playing at?"
"I don't know what you're talking about!"
"You've used a Dark Gift!"
"What makes you think I did?"
"Your hair, there are two signs of the Dark Gifts usage! One is long hair and the other is white hair! I'm watching you, you better not start...changing!"
"I'll do what I want old man! I'm not under your control!"
Darius walked away.
Buffy was approaching the building with the library in it with Xander.
"So you think Ryan and Darius are running there own little Dark Gift market!"
"I think they are, but I'm still not sure!"
"Well you might want to investigate his package you told me about."
"Yeah, yeah I will but I might need help."
It was the night of the pick up. Buffy, Faith, Raheem and Jessie watched from a distance, up on a roof the looked down below.
They watched from a distance as a limo drove up. The three hooded figures stepped out and then three others did...the three others were Angel, Spike and Fred, Fred had changed her hair was blue or purple, Buffy couldn't tell from were she was.
They decided to leave but as they the four made there through Rome they were surrounded by Vampire's.
One of the Vampires spoke out.
"I am Vladimir, I have used several Dark Gifts to increase my power and become one of the Dark seven. Although that became six when Daemon died. The Dark six are the Generals of The Dark Gifts current Tellsong, the Tellsong is a man or Demon in charge of their distribution or selling."
"Who's the current Tellsong?" asked Raheem
"I am not going to be in the telling of you! But I will ask for the whereabouts of a large amount of stolen Dark Gift stash!"
"I'm not telling you, but I will kill you!"
"Boyz...kill them!" The Vampires closed in. But the Slayers took the fight in the stride. Raheem charged at Vladimir and tried to kick him in the jaw. But Vladimir dodged to the side. The two exchanged punches and blocks.
Vladimir threw Raheem to the side. Raheem scrambled up and saw Vladimir running at him. Raheem tripped him up and took out a stake.
"How would you but it in this language...bring it bitch!"
"As long as you're asking."
Raheem ran at Vlad and Tried stab him but Vlad jumped over Raheem and kicked him in the back.
Raheem got up to find Vlad in his face. The two got in a lock but Vlad overpower Raheem and threw him to the floor. Raheem was on his hands and knees when Vlad kicked him in the stomach. He spiralled upwards and landed clumsily on his feet.
Vlad walked to Raheem but was interrupted by a Vampire crashing into him. The Slayers now surrounded him.
"Lets start this dance!" Vlad was unimpressed by the Slayers. They all jumped in and tried to attack but he threw one into another but grabbed Jessie by the wrist and pulled back to his chest. He kneed her in the back and threw her at Buffy.
"We shall finish this soon if you choose not to hand over our Gifts." With that Vlad turned and started to walk away. Raheem whispered to himself.
"I'll show you finished!" Then he threw his stake at Vlad. It hit him just off the spine and dug in far. Vlad fell to the floor. And the slayers ran to him and held him down while Raheem finished the job. He burnt into death. The sudden flames caused everyone to fall back.
"Super foes seems to be the norm these days." Raheem got up and brushed himself down.
"Yeah, I can see that." Buffy brushed herself off and they all went home.
The next Ryan called everyone together for something. Raheem and Jessie had gotten together since his victory the night before. And as everyone was waiting for what was so important Ryan entered and with him he brought Angel, Spike and who most people though was Fred. Those who knew them ran to hug them. Buffy looked at them and Ryan.
"But how? The senior partners?" The answer came from Ryan.
"The Senior partners had these three transported to alternate dimension where they were prisoners, it was there only option when the couldn't seem to kill them. I organised them to be transported out and replaced by illusions, the right spell leaves the partners thinking they have there prisoners. While here they are." Angel spoke next.
"Which is a lot better then an eternity of the same day over and over again."
Buffy hugged Ryan and said
"Thank you!"
But later that night she wanted to talk to Ryan.
"I have something to tell you!"
"Go on." Ryan said as he stroked Buffy's hair.
"I followed you one night when you where organising their break out, and I over heard a conversation and though you and Darius had stolen the Dark Gifts and were starting your own market."
"I'm...proud of you!"
"What?"
"You
went by your instincts and did what you though was right!"
"But I though you were evil!"
"Do you still think that?"
"No, of course not."
"So who's harmed?"
"You're one in a million you know that!"
"Actually I'm one in six billion as I'm the only male slayer!"
"Very funny!" They kissed. They had a night of passion and sin.
And as they did underground groups were talking.
"So Vladimir is dead?"
"Yes, Sir!"
"That's the last straw! THINGS WILL END SOON! IT'S THEM OR US! WE WILL END IT! Von Liechtenstein, Xu, Captain Cassius, Trocius and Meltheen! Be ready for a fight! And you..." The figure pointed to a little black hood figure.
"...Contact the insider!"
