Rise
of the Juggernaut
they were all sitting in the girl's dorm. The witches were creating
a magic circle with some sort of special powder.
"You're the one that keeps going on and on about not having some
super powers. Well here we are." Willow explained as she checked and
rechecked her notes to make sure everything was one track.
"Th..the test you took at the local hospital said you have a dormant
X gene." Tara stuttered.
"But that's the thing, so what? It's dormant hence no freaky powers
like we keep hearing about." The dark-haired teen grumbled not
wanting any part of their magic; it never seemed to go right for
him.
"And if you hadn't dragged me there I wouldn't have had the test at
all. And you wouldn't have had to whammy those doctors' minds into
forgetting about me."
Which is what Willow had to do. Seems the doctors were under orders
to report newly found mutants or anyone that carried the X gene.
"Would you stop fussing? Nothing is going to go wrong." Famous last
words.
Tara nodded towards Xander in agreement. She had gone over the
spell, as many times as her red-haired girlfriend and found nothing
that would be a problem.
"But we don't even know what sort of power it's going to be. I could
start blasting flames out of my mouth or turn into a giant spider
for all you know." Which didn't worry Xander all too much, what
worried him was that something might happen and his friends would
get hurt.
"It could be dangerous." This warned a stern look from
Willow. "Mutants aren't monsters Xander. They're just people with
powers like witches or slayers." She explained to him. "They're just
another form of human. And besides you've got the gene already.
You'll be no more dangerous then you ever were."
That really irked him. Her blind faith that nothing could go wrong
with magic upset him greatly. He'd seen mutants on the news that
shot fire from their hands and threw tanks with the wave of their
arms.
He very well could be dangerous and not mean too, but one thing
Xander Harris had learned over the years was that you couldn't argue
with Willow when she was wearing her resolve face.
"And Buffy is ok with this?" He tried one last effort to get out of
this. For all his whining and bitching about being the 'normal' guy
of the group he didn't want his genes to be enhanced with magic.
Call him crazy but that just sounded wrong on so many levels.
"Yes Xan for the last time. I've checked with everyone. Even Riley
was ok with it; he even asked to watch."
The soldier had asked. Even tried to get Willow to take a few lab
guys to watch but she refused and made sure he understood she didn't
want the army to get any notice of this. It only took five minutes
of arguing and a few shots of her resolve face before he agreed.
"Ok, we're ready." Tara gave Xander a reassuring smile before she
and Willow began to chant. After a few moments a red haze spread
from the circle and engulfed the teen.
It spun around in a whirlwind like cone and he was picked up almost
three feet into the air. The witches finished chanting, and watched
in awe as the haze started to seep into his body, everything was
going as plan. That is until Xander started screaming.
"It burns! It burns!" He shouted at the top of his lungs. Tara and
Willow scrambled into action trying to figure out a way to stop it,
but it was too late. Xander passed out soon after from the pain
being more then he could handle.
"Tara, what can we do?" The red-haired girl begged, tears running
down her face. She hadn't meant for this to happen, there wasn't
supposed to be any pain for him.
"I..I don't know." Tara was too frightened to do anything other then
stare as Xander's body started to change.
"God." Willow whispered in shock at what came next. Long slashes
started to appear all over his body; blood was pouring from the
wounds so fast the floor was soon covered in it.
"Willow, try...I....I don't know what to do." She had backed away
from him not wanting to be covered in his life's blood. Soon
something else began to happen. Xander's body began to grow. He grew
taller, freakishly so. And he grew thicker as well. His arms and
legs tore through the clothing covering him.
Huge muscles soon covered his body, which couldn't be any less then
ten feet tall now. The red haze started to dissipate and with a loud
crash he hit the ground. The weight of his body surprisingly cracked
the ground and there was a slight tremor.
"Is..is it over? Is he dead?" Tara cried out scared out of her wits.
There was no way anyone could have survived that much blood lost.
Willow ever so slowly crawled over to him and checked his pulse. It
was there and very steady.
"He's alive!" She was shouting not believing her own words. "Call
Giles and Buffy, we're going to need help moving him to 'The Magic
Box'." The blond Wiccan ran off to make the call.
Which left Willow there clinging to her prone friend. "Oh Xander,
I'm so sorry." She laid her head against his large chest and started
to sob. A few minutes later Tara was back.
"Th..they'll be here in a few minutes." She stuttered out more to
herself then to Willow.
