Disclaimer: I do not own Buffy the Vampire Slayer....or Angel for that matter.....and I don't own any of the characters.
Buffy/Angel crossover!
Pairings: Mainly Buffy/Angel.....a little Spuffy, probably Cordy/Angel, there might be a little Connor/Cordy action (nothing gross!) and I think a little bit about the love triangle between Fred/Gunn/Wes....
A/N: Once again I want to apologize for the lack of updates.....I'm so sorry, but I think I will update more often from now on, because I have time enough to write now. However....this Saturday I'm going away for two weeks, so I won't be able to update for two weeks. I'll try to update once more before I leave, but I can't promise anything...The good news is that I'm gonna write a lot when I'm away, so that means a lot of updates after those two weeks. Once again, I can't promise anything, but I'll do the best I can.
So...part 2 of the final battle.....I'm not entirely happy with it, but it's okay I guess. This is part 2 and it's the last part of the battle too, so don't worry.
Thanks for all the great reviews!
Chapter 5
When Kennedy entered the basement and saw the open seal, she hesitated for a minute. Did she really want to go down there? She loved some action, but this kind of action was new to her and she wasn't sure she could handle it. She looked down at the axe in her hand and she felt the power running through her veins. She knew she had to go down there, even if it was only to give Buffy the axe. Part of her really wanted to go down there too. She slowly walked down the stairs and she could hear the sounds of the battle that was going on beneath her. She was surprised when she saw an ubervamp climbing the stairs towards her. For the first time ever she felt fear. Kennedy looked down at her axe again. When the ubervamp attacked her, she first kicked it in the stomach, but it didn't seem to have much effect. The ubervamp kept his balance and started fighting back. He hit Kennedy a couple of times, before she was able to decapitate him with the axe. Kennedy smiled when she saw the vamp turning do dust. This was cool! She quickly walked downstairs, only to be greeted by more vampires climbing up the stairs. She fought some of them, but eventually couldn't take them all anymore. She had to let some of them go and she hoped the others in the school would be ready to fight these vamps. Kennedy realized she didn't have the time to kill every single one of these ubervamps. The most important thing was to get the axe to Buffy. She looked around and was amazed to see all the vampires. She looked for Buffy, but didn't see her, because of all the action that was going on around her. Suddenly she got kicked in her back and she fell forward, flat on her face. The axe fell down next to her. Before she even had the time to get up, an ubervamp grabbed her, turned her around and helped her up by grabbing her throat. Kennedy felt how the ubervamp lifted her up from the ground and she had trouble breathing. She felt how the confidence she had only rediscovered minutes ago was fading away and was replaced by fear. She looked at the ubervamp who was holding her and she knew he could break her neck by only making one little move. He was choking her and Kennedy did the best she could to break free. Just when she thought there was no hope left and she didn't have the strength to do anything anymore, the vampire turned to dust and she fell on the ground. She was relieved when she could finally breathe again and she grabbed her neck. Then someone helped her up and Kennedy saw that it was Angel who had saved her life.
"Are you okay?" He asked her, and she knew he was really worried.
Kennedy wasn't sure she could talk yet, so instead she just nodded.
"Can you still fight?"
Kennedy cleared her throat.
"I think so..."
Angel nodded, then he turned around, grabbing another vampire and turning it to dust with his stake. Kennedy looked around and saw the axe still lying on the ground. She picked it up.
"Angel!" she yelled.
Angel turned around and looked at her.
"Where's Buffy?" she asked him.
Angel looked around for a few seconds, eventually spotting Buffy.
"Over there....on the other side"
Kennedy sighed and looked at everything that was going on around her. It was going to be a long way to Buffy. She killed another vamp and so did Angel. They fought side by side for several minutes. While Angel was fighting one of the ubervamps, he said:
"I'll get the axe to Buffy"
He punched another ubervamp and Kennedy had to do a couple of steps back when an ubervamp kicked her. She felt the pain, but somehow it didn't bother her. She was actually enjoying this.
"Are you sure?" she asked him, while she threw one of the ubervamps against the wall.
"Yep...I'm faster than you" Angel answered.
Kennedy nodded, even though she knew Angel couldn't see that.
"Take it" she yelled and she threw the axe his way. Angel caught it and he immediately decapitated two vamps with it. He threw his stake towards Kennedy so she wouldn't be completely unarmed. Then he made his way through the group of vampires and Slayers, killing some vamps here and there on his way.
Buffy was fighting somewhere near the big hole with vampires. She was doing pretty good so far, but every time she looked into the big hole and saw how many vamps were still on their way towards them, she felt how pointless this was. This way they were only buying time. There were too many of them.
"Rona....over there, on the left!" Buffy yelled, when she saw one of the other Potentials in trouble.
Rona wanted to walk to the group of vampires and help the girl, but another vampire kicked her stake out of her hand and it fell on the ground. Rona kicked the vampire and another Potential took care of it. Rona turned around, looking for her stake, but didn't see it. Buffy noticed.
"Rona....here!" she said and threw her own sword towards Rona.
Rona caught the sword and quickly made her way towards the group of vampires that were attacking the other Potential. When Buffy heard one of the girls scream, she knew one of them was hurt, possibly even dead and the feeling that went through her was indescribable...She felt responsible for all of these girls and she knew she couldn't save them all, but it still felt like it was her fault if any of them died. She searched for Spike, to ask him about the amulet, but she didn't see him. She did see Faith though and fought her way over there.
"Faith! Have you seen Spike?!" she asked her.
Faith looked up and looked around for a few seconds. Then she shook her head. She went back to the ubervamp she was fighting and took his head between her hands. Then she broke his neck. The sound of of the breaking neck gave Buffy goosebumps, but she didn't have time to think about it. Faith knew this wouldn't kill the vampire, so she pushed the vampire towards one of the Potentials who gladly took the vampire from Faith and killed it.
"This is not going well" Buffy said.
"What do you mean?! It's going great!" Faith said, already fighting another vamp.
Buffy sighed as she fought off a couple of vampires that were coming her way.
"We can never take all of them!" Buffy yelled back at Faith.
Faith's eyes left the vampire she was fighting for a sec and she looked at Buffy.
"The amulet" was all Faith said, before going back to fighting the vampire.
Buffy nodded, even though she was pretty sure Faith couldn't see that, because she was too busy with 'her' vampire.
"He's probably on the other side" Faith said.
"We have to find him" Buffy responded.
He was the only one who could end this.
Angel made his way through the vampires around him, waving the axe around, killing some vampires with it along the way. He looked around, trying to spot Buffy, but all he saw were ubervamps and a Potential here and there, trying to get themselves from getting killed. He raised the axe once more and swung it around, decapitating an ubervamp with it, then he suddenly stopped and froze up when he saw what he had almost done.
"Bloody hell" Spike said as he looked down at the axe on his throat.
"Spike" Angel said, putting the axe down.
"Good reflexes" Spike commented.
"Duck!" Was all Angel said.
Spike frowned.
"What?"
Angel saw the ubervamp approaching Spike from behind. He raised his sword. Angel quickly pushed Spike aside, who fell on the ground and he staked the ubervamp with the other side of the axe. When the vamp turned to dust, Angel helped Spike up.
"So, I guess you don't hate me as much as you say you do, huh?" Spike said.
"A normal 'thank you for saving my life" would have been enough, Spike"
"I mean it. Cos you just did, you know? Save my life"
He picked up the sword the ubervamp almost killed him with and looked at it.
"Kinda regretting it already" Angel sighed.
"So, why did you?" Spike said as he stabbed a vamp that came up to him. Then he took another look at his new weapon and smiled a little.
It took a while before Angel could answer, because he had to take care of some ubervamps coming his way. Their strength still amazed him. They were vampires, just like him, but they were probably stronger than he was. Luckily, they were all about the kill and didn't have much with the 'thinking' aspect of fighting, which was an adventage for those who fought them. After he killed the last vampire, he turned back to Spike, who was also taking care of some ubervamps.
"You're the one saving the world, right? You can't do that when you're a pile of dust...and I really don't wanna take your place...... Speaking of saving the world: How's that amulet-thing going?"
Spike heard how the head of the vamp he just decapitated fell on the ground, before his head and the body turned to dust.
"The bloody thing isn't working"
"You've tried the on/off switch?" Angel said with a serious look on his face.
"Oh yeah, that's funny....What am, I? A moron?"
"Is that a rhetorical question?" Angel asked.
They were both still fighting the vampires while talking with each other. Spike decided it would be best not to answer that. He decided to bring something else up instead.
"You're a big fat liar, by the way" Spike told Angel.
"What are you talking about?" Angel said, a little annoyed.
"You're whole 'I really don't wanna take your place' speech, you gave me just now"
Angel staked two vampires at the same time, before turning back to Spike.
"What?!"
Even Spike stopped fighting the vamps and he turned to Angel. The two stood in front of each other, looking at each other.
"You would have loved to be Buffy's hero" Spike said.
"I thought this was about saving the world....I guess that doesn't mean anything in your universe, does it? It's all about Buffy"
"Oh come on! Like you haven't thought of it that way!"
"You really think that sacrificing yourself is the answer?"
"Buffy doesn't love me. She's in love with someone else. You know that just as well as I do......Doing this for her....for the world....It's the least I can do....and it might make her......"
"Love you?" Angel tried to finish Spike's sentence.
"It might make her think that she does, yeah......"
"You're pathetic"
"And I'm saving the world"
Angel shook his head. He was getting really tired of Spike. He turned around and wanted to get back to fighting the vamps, when he saw the little, blonde woman standing in front of him.
"I believe that's mine" Buffy said.
"Eh...yeah...I was just on my way to...." Angel didn't finish his sentence and he switched weapons with Buffy.
Buffy immediately used her super weapon and killed some of the vamps with it.
"I love this thing" She said to no one in particular, while she looked at it.
Then she looked up at Spike and walked up to him.
"How's saving the world going?"
Spike looked down at the amulet. He took it in his hand and wanted to tell Buffy that the stupid thing wasn't working. He immediately had to let it go again, because it was incredibly hot. Before he had the chance to tell Buffy this, he felt a sharp pain going through his body and a bright light came from the amulet, which quickly blinded everything and everyone around him. The light spread around him and all the ubervamps turned to dust as soon as the light hit them. Spike had to do a few steps backward to control the amulet, because he suddenly felt enormous pressure on his chest. The pain had gotten worse and Spike screamed. Buffy, Angel, Faith and the Potentials ducked away and covered their eyes from the bright light.
"Spike!" Buffy yelled.
Then Spike felt something else, besides the pain and the pressure on his chest.....Strength. He was going to save the world. He was really going to do it and no one was going to stop him.
"I would say saving the world is going pretty good at the moment!" Spike growled, the pain only getting worse, but a small smile appearing on his face.
This is it. It was really gonna start now......
A/N: Yeah, I know....Not the best chapter ever, but.....Well, I don't know. I'll try to update asap! Please reveiew!
