CHAPTER 13 : The fight
Once the presentations are over Buffy asks Giles where he thinks the Hellmouth is situated.
- It's written on my books it must be under a library as it was the case for one in Sunnydale, says Giles.
- Do you see where it could be ? asks Buffy to the aliens.
- I have an idea, says Max. Let's go.
Max and the others go to his college where he's doing his last year. It was empty. Normal cause we're on Saturday.
He directly goes to the library.
- What are you looking for ? asks Michael to Giles.
- A hollow place, says Giles. That means there's something underneath.
They all begin to knock on the ground searching for a hollow place.
- I think it's here, says Xander.
They all advance near him and that was the right place.
- What are we gonna do now to arrive under it ? asks Dawn.
Willow asks everyone to step back at the end of the library.
She takes a chalk and draws a big circle on the ground above the hollow place.
- You who are above I call you, make this circle to be a way to go under the place.
She ends her incantation with incomprehensible words.
We can now hear a big noise and the circle divided leaving a place for them to go under and see what's going on.
After a few stares, they are quiet not to be seen by everyone if there's anybody. They see a green liquid boiling with a man dressed in black attached above it.
They hide themselves behind two big rocks.
- Eh, that's Angel, says Buffy sad to see the man of her life attatched that way above that green liquid boiling inside.
- Sssshut Buffy, says Giles, make less noise.
- I don't wanna be at the same place as Angel, says Xander smiling.
…
- We're gonna destroy the world soon, says a big man with a demon head. I just need to sacrifice that demon and the door will be opened for us on the world. I'll be transformed in a big carnivorous snake and I'll destroy the world !
Buffy and her friends heard what that demon said.
Now they have to act quickly without being seen by anybody.
- Look Buffy, I'm gonna do a diversion and you'll go next to Angel to fight that guy before it's too late, says Max.
- Ok, says Buffy, I'm gonna kick those demons'ass and save Angel.
- I'll come with you, says Kyle, we need as many as possible to fight those demons.
- I'm coming as well, says Michael.
- Ok we'll be going together, says Buffy.
There were 5 men next to the big demon.
Suddenly…
- Oh no, says Dawn, look Buffy it's too late, the demon cut Angel in the hand and he's bleeding.
- Look at that, says Willow, the roof begins to open slowly above their heads.
- Hurry up, says Buffy, we must act fast before it's really too late.
Max does causes a diversion while Buffy, Michael and Kyle go, armed, fight and kill the demons.
Everything's going fast, they don't even have the time to think, they must act fast, really fast.
Max is coming closer to Angel and the demon as well. Buffy arrives and begins to fight the demon.
Meantime Kyle and Michael don't really succeed in killing those guys who are really strong.
Then Michael had an idea…
- Step back, says him to Kyle…
Michael throws fire balls in direction of those men and they die directly after been touched by them.
- I need help over here, says Buffy to Willow and Xander.
During that time Dawn and Anya came next to Max to help him rescuing Angel, weak.
They succeed with a lot of pain. Angel is free and Dawn, Anya and Max help him to sit in a corner.
All the men are destroyed only the big demon was still alive.
This one's not that simple, he can run very fast without you see him he's on your back.
He begins to transform into a big something. His head is changing.
- Yuk, said Dawn, it's disgusting.
A few minutes later the demon was a big snake, the one Liz saw in her visions. Lis and Maria don't know what to do to help their friend so they're next to Angel, Dawn and Anya.
Max, Michael, Willow, Giles, Isabel, Kyle, Valenti and Alex wanted to do something but they have no idea. Nothing's changing. The demon is not completely transformed into that ugly big snake.
Even Michael's fire balls don't kill him.
Then Max had an idea :
- Let's all take our hand and I'm sure with a spell from Willow we could succeed at something.
- Let's try that, says Buffy still fighting the snake.
With all their different powers put together they're stronger.
Max calls the girls next to Angel. Angel also wants to stand up to help but he can't walk so he watches from where he is.
Willow begins to say a spell that nobody can understand as it's in another language. They all feel a strength going from body to body, from hand to hand.
That's working as Max thought, they're all very powerful and even more together.
A few seconds later that ugly snake falls, just like a vampire killed. While dying he said "Came from under they destroy everything". Then we hear a big noise. He was suffering. Then nothing !
Everything closed and they were in the library again as if nothing had happened.
Even the trace of chalk, Willow used, isn't here anymore.
