Chapter 15 Kat Returns. Will Kat's pure soul revive the big bad? Find out next. Sorry for the delay. I have stuff to do you know. Keep your pants on. Here's another chap.

Meanwhile outside as Xander exit's the cave he runs into Buffy and everyone else. They are glad to see that Xander is alright.

"Xander where's Kat?" ask Buffy.

"She's in there," replies Xander pointing at the cave behind him.

"Come on it's time to follow her plan," says Buffy leading the group into the cave. Xander follows Buffy and as they enter the cave where they see Kat with a knife in her hand about to stab herself with it.

"Nooooo!" yells Xander. Kat stops the knife just two inches away from her stomach. She looks at Xander and everyone else.

"Do it or they are all dead," says the a man next to her.

"Who are you?" ask Buffy.

"Oh forgive me," says the man. "I'm what you call the big bad." He grabs the knife out of Kat's hand and puts it at her throat.

"How is he touching her?" ask Spike. "Isn't he suppose to be all ghostly."

"He seems to be solid," says Wesley.

"He made Kat read some incantation to make him solid," says Xander.

"Why would she do that?" ask Giles.

"To save me," says Xander. "You not going to kill her. You need her to extract her soul. You can't do that without her."

"There's the use for the other witch," says the big bad. He pushes Kat away and shields her with force field. "Who wants to die?"

Angel, Spike, Buffy and Kennedy begin to fight the big bad, while Willow, Giles, Wesley and Fred create a pentagram around the fight scene. They each carry a bag and a piece of paper with an incantation.

"Why do we get left behind?" says Tammy in Xander's hut with Dawn, Gunn, and Lorne.

"Because we don't want to get killed sweetie-kens."

"Angel and Spike told me to stay behind to protect you," says Gunn. "They don't want you up there risking your neck like you're friend did."

"I would totally be careful," says Tammy.

"Don't worry Tammy. You'll get use to it," says Dawn patting her on the shoulder.

"No! I won't," says Tammy. "I am not a damsel in distress. I'm a piss off powerful witch and if you don't move out of my way I might have to hurt you Gunn."

"Look take it easy. It most be that time of the month right," says Gunn. Lorne and Dawn look at Gunn.

"I'm really sorry," says Tammy.

"Uhg," says Gunn.

"Anyone who wants to join me can follow and if not do protect Gunn," says Tammy as she exit's the hut.

"Can someone get me down from here," says Gunn from the ceiling.

"I really can't reach," says Lorne trying to get to Gunn's hand.

"I think we need a latter," says Dawn. "Don't go anywhere."

"I don't think I have choice."

While Buffy and the others battle the big bad Xander goes over to Kat. Kat bows her head and tries not to look at Xander.

"Kat," says Xander trying to get her attention. "Are you okay?" Kat nods her head.

"Use your powers to lift the force field."

"I can't."

"Yes you can. Tammy did it so can you." Kat looks into Xander's deep brown eyes then she closes her eyes to concentrate. She begins to raise her hands up and the force field begins to go up. In less than a minute it is over her head and Xander pulls her from under it.

"I knew you could do it," says Xander holding her close. "Come on lets get out of here." Xander grabs Kat's hand and the two head to the entrance of the cave.

"Wait!"

"What?" Xander turns to Kat. She picks up a rock and throws it at the entrance. The rock gets charcoaled.

"That," says Kat. Then on the other side of the cave is Tammy. "Tammy."

"Howdy," says Tammy with a smile and a wave. "Need some help?" Kat nods and the two start to concentrate and raise their hands up. The force field goes up once again and Tammy enters the cave.

"Boy, sounds like a mess in there," says Tammy.

"Shouldn't we get you two out of the cave," says Xander. The girls ignore him.

"Tammy you were suppose to stay with Gunn, Lorne and Dawn."

"I didn't wanna," whines Tammy in little kid voice. "Besides there's more fun here."

"What are they going to do?" ask Buffy to Xander about Buffy's plan.

"They're following your plan," says Xander. "Willow's figured out a way to make it happen. If It works then it's bye bye big bad."

"Let's go give them a hand," says Kat. The rush back into the fight party.

Spike and Buffy get thrown against the wall. Angel and Kennedy try put up a fight but they had no luck ether as they too are thrown to another wall. The pain is unbearable for the four who have been fighting for ten minutes straight.

"It's that all you got Slayer," says the big bad. His eyes then focus on Kat and Tammy who reenter the cavern. Buffy then gets a quick punch at the big bad. She then gives him a couple of kicks in the groin. "It's my turn." The big bad punches Buffy in the face and upper cups her.

"Buffy," says Tammy and Kat. Spike and Angel go to her side.

"Well, look at here," says the big bad. "Two for the prize of one." He begins to make a fire ball as he walks over to the girls.

"You want me. Come and get me," says Kat. The big bad smiles a wicked smile and nods his head still walking towards them.

"I don't want you right now," says the big bad. "Just her." He throws the fire ball at Tammy, but Kat pushes him away as Tammy reverses his fire ball. It goes back to the big bad firing him up.

"No! You witch!" The big bad is standing in the middle of the Giles, Wesley, Fred and Willow in which they together they created a pentagram. A portal opens sucking what is left of the burning big bad into it's grasp. Spike helps Buffy up and they walk over to Wesley and Fred. Willow goes to Kennedy's aide as she limps over to the rest. Angel goes to Tammy's side.

"Wow," says Tammy. "That was cool." Angel smiles and is amuse by Tammy's words.
