Disclaimer : I own nothing and to quote a friend of mine , I refuse to believe that this is even necessary !!! but for traditions sake , all characters belong to their respective owners and the only right I have is the credit to this here as I tell you this story. Oh , and yeah the story's mine as well : )

Rating : Its mostly PG but I'm putting an R on it just in case.

Summary : Xander has an epic adventure. F/X goodness all around. Surreal Action ,Weird Humour and Crazy romance. My forte , or so I've been told. :) Forget logic , this will be downright silly at times. Expect only fun crazy stuff.

Author's notes : So so sorry about the super long wait. (oops) I don't know if anyone remembers at all but anyway I was too busy .Never really had time. sigh Again - This aint nothing too serious but it aint gonna be lame either. I had a little idea that just popped into my head. The lil' idea kept bouncing up and down telling me this is gonna be fun and hell yeah I agree with that wholeheartedly : )

Feedback : yes please …?

Dedication : To everyone who has read this or any of my other works , to those who have supported me thru the last turbulent few years I've had and not least of all, to all Xander fans out there. This story is mainly for you. Thank you. Please Enjoy…

Once upon a time … by Zauriel Angelus

Part four :-

-----------------------

It felt like a damn Mack-truck had hit me.

Right in my damn face too .

Ow ... that really really hurt.

I landed on the floor the hard way , so hard in fact that the impact splintered the wooden floor under me. A lot of splinterin' going on I tell ya ! Been a while since I've took such a hit. Of course where previously this kinda thing would've knocked my socks off and render me totally unconcious , I actually got up to my feet although it was a bit slower than I would've liked it to be.

Took me almost ten seconds to fully stand up. My head was a lil woozy and my balance was off quite a 't see too well either since my vision temporarily went to shot. It's basically one of those moments where I'm a sitting duck or um... well , a barely standing duck. And for those of you just tuning it there's one badass mother of an evil chick who's gonna kill me !!! Gone was the beautiful face I saw before.

I wasn't sure if it was a demon but let's see...

Razor sharp teeth.

Pale hideously deformed face.

Long sharp claw-like hands.

And a solid left hook ...

I was practically helpless.

It's moments like this when I thank God ...

Thank God for Faith.

A girl like that was exactly what I needed right now. Every pound on her being of pure slayer , skilled , deadly and powerful as heck , I mean like Spiderman' strong. Not to mention she's hot as hell ...mmmm

Faith strode in like the Goddess that she was, in full slayer-mode, her tight leather clad (super-hot !!!) ass swooping in to save my bacon, launching herself at fangy like a damn rocket.

There was a flurry of fists , they were both moving so fast it was hard to follow with what was happening. The slayer was focused on taking her opponent down quick and hard. Unfortunately Lady red was making her really work for it. There wasn't a drop of sweat on Faith even though the fight was evenly matched.

Soon enough Faith saw an opening and took it, parrying a hard blow into one of her own. Her boot finally getting the solid kick to the face she was looking for. Faith followed up her snap kick with a roundhouse, before hooking right into a rather spectacular uppercut that would've made those overly muscled anime characters of Street Fighter proud.

It was evil bitch's turn to fly and fly she did.

Weird thing was there was no crash at the end of that flight. Our monster simply vanished into thin air right in front of our faces. The shadows seemed to just swallow her right up.

Faith was startled but only for moment. She kept her fighting stance , very much still standing on high alert.

Finally recovering from the punishment I just took , I made it a point to catch my breath and reacquaint myself with my surroundings. I couldn't see Marie anywhere now, the spot where I flung her previously possessed self at, now suspiciously empty. Then I finally utter my long awaited first line of actual dialogue in this chapter.

" Ow...."

What a moment ! Doncha think so too ?

" You ok , X ?"

" Five by five , Faith."

Since when do I say that ?!! What is going on with me ? Somebody please tell me soon.

" This is gonna sound so cliche but I got a baaad feeling about this."

" Wicked. I told you Mexico was gonna be a fun ride." The slayer smiled.

" Why the hell I went along with you , I'll likely never ever know." I mumbled out.

Faith's smile quickly turned to a frown soon after.

" X , we got serious company."

" You see Marie anywhere ?"

" No Marie from my view. I see something else though. You seein' X ?"

I rubbed my eyes to check if I was imagining it but true enough it seemed every shadow around us was coming alive. From almost every corner of darkness they sprung out slowly into sight.

" She-bitch got herself a few friends."

" Make that a lot of friends. Tell me again Faith. How fun is this gonna be ?"

We were surrounded and possibly fucked , I mean earlier I was already f...-but that was a good thing instead of this bad thing which is bad and not good and what I'm saying right now ...um y'know I mean that in a bad way right ? All I'm saying ...

Ahem

It was bad shit.

Are we clear ?

" I think we're about to find out."

I really wish I was doing the good thing that I did with Faith earlier right now instead.

Know what I'm saying ...?

MmmmmFaith ....
