Buffy walked into the Magic Box, the bell on the door ringing. Spike followed behind Buffy and Hakim. Giles sat at the table with Willow and Xander, reading books.
"Giles." Buffy said.
"Hm, oh hi." Giles said, looking up from his book.
Hakim stopped when Giles looked up. Giles looked behind Buffy to see the ninja man.
"Who's this?" Giles asked, standing up from the table.
"This is Hakim, something's going on, he was sent here to find the slayer." Buffy replied.
"Oh, well, I'm Buffy's watcher, Giles." Giles said, walking over to Hakim to shake his hand.
Hakim looked at Giles hand puzzedly, before lifting his own hand and shaking Giles slightly. Xander waved to Hakim.
"I'm Xander, Buffy's friend." Xander said.
"I'm Willow." Willow waved.
Buffy sat down, looking up at Hakim.
"So, what's going on?" Buffy asked.
Spike leaned against the shop counter, listening along with everything.
"I was sent here by my...father...Senku," Hakim said shakily, "He was killed bya well known demon by the name of Shinja"
"Well, I'm sorry." Giles said sympathetically.
"I am the protector of the Dargian's Scroll..." Hakim said.
"What was that again?" Giles asked.
"The Dargian's Scroll, a very powerful scroll." Hakim replied, looking at the watcher.
"How is this scroll powerful?" Willow asked.
"The Dargian's Scroll was used thousands of years ago by a demon of the name of Seniya to try to bring the end of the world, burn it to a crisp," Hakim responded, "now a demon named Shinja is trying to get a hold of it to finish what Seniya started."
"What happened to Seniya?" Spike asked.
Hakim turned to face Spike.
"When trying to use the Dargian's Scroll, the slayer in the time, stopped her from doing so." Hakim replied again.
"How'd you people manage to get he Dargian's Scroll?" Giles asked, cleaning his glasses.
"The slayer of that time was one of our people." Hakim responded.
The gang listened intently to what was being said and asked. Buffy watched everything and listened, sighing slightly.
"Why did Senku send you here?" Xander asked.
"We were attacked by Shinja...the slayer is the only one strong enough to protect this scroll from the demon...not even I can do so." Hakim sighed.
"Lemme get this straight, this demon gets the scroll and uses it to try to burn the world to a crisp like a burnt pancake?" Buffy asked.
Hakim looked in the way of Buffy and nodded.
"Exactly"
"I'll start researching on the Dargian's Scroll and the demon Shinja, do you mind?" Giles asked, holding his hand out.
Hakim reached behind himself, pulling out a large, rolled up scroll, putting it in the hand of Giles with a nod.
Giles took the scroll and walked over to the stairs, climbing up to the powerful books. Willow opened up another book along with Xander. Hakim watched as the gang worked, looking to Buffy.
"Buffy, your people are very kind." Hakim exclaimed.
Buffy smiled and nodded to Hakim.
"I'm lucky to have them"
"I hope they can figure this out..." Hakim sighed, looking at Buffy.
"They will...and in the mean time we can...um train." Buffy suggested.
"Train?" Hakim asked.
"Yeah, punch and kick things, here I'll show you." Buffy said, standing up. Buffy walked over to the training room, Hakim following. She opened the door and walked inside, her boots clanking as they hit the stone floor lightly. Hakim looked around when he entered.
"See...it isn't much but its the training room." Buffy said.
"It is nice." Hakim said.
Buffy looked over at Hakim, noticing the outfit.
"If you don't mind me asking, where are you from?" Buffy asked.
"I originally come from Tokyo, Japan, but my people migrated to Madrid, Spain." Hakim responded.
"Ah." Buffy replied.
"Buffy!" Willow shrieked from the other room.
Buffy heard the shriek from her friend and turn around, running back into the shop with Hakim. Buffy looked around to see a lot of different demons. Spike was occupied with a Fyyral demon and Xander and Willow were beating a demon over the head with a book. Buffy ran to her friends, slamming her foot across the face of the demon Willow and Xander were fighting. The demon stumbled back and then punched Buffy across the face. Buffy winced, grabbing the demon's arm and twisting it, kicking the back of his knee to bring him down to his knees. Buffy placed a hand on his forehead and cupped his chin, snapping the demon's neck.
Hakim was fighting three demons at once. He threw fast punches and kicks before taking out his sword and swinging. Spike was fighting a demon, throwing out his fists to its face.
Buffy ran at another demon, grabbing it and slamming its head down into the counter top. The counter top glass shattered as the demon's head hit, blood erupting from the demon's face. She grabbed the demon and threw him backwards. The demon flew back and hits the floor, sliding along it. Hakim decapitated demons from left to right with his sword. He continued to throw out strong punches and strong kicks.
Spike grabbed a demon and threw him into a shelf. The demon flew and hit it, the shelf breaking down. Spike walked over to the demon and grabbed it, snapping its neck viciously.
Buffy grabbed the last demon, roundhouse kicking it back into a table. The demon fell onto the table and growled, knocking his foot across Buffy's face. Buffy face fell to the floor but then flipped up quickly. She kicked a chair, breaking it down. She picked up a chair leg, bringing it down into the demon's throat. The demon gasped, life slipping away as blood poured from its neck.
Xander and Willow crawled out from under a table and stood up.
"Is that all of them?" Spike asked.
"Giles!" Buffy yelled, running up the stairs. Hakim followed her up the stairs. Buffy paused, her watcher on the ground.
"Giles!" Buffy shouted running to him.
Giles placed a hand to his head and winced.
"Ow." He said.
"NO," Hakim yelled, "they got the Dargian's Scroll"
"That isn't good." Giles mumbled, sitting up.
"They must have been sent by Shinja." Buffy exclaimed.
Spike walked up the stairs and looked at Buffy, Giles, and Hakim.
"Buffy, Red has a cut on her head, might want to check it out." Buffy turned her head and looked at Spike, standing up and walking past him. She walked down the stairs and to the table where Willow and Xander were sitting.
"You alright, Will'?" Buffy asked.
"Just a cut." Willow replied.
Buffy walked over to the counter, reaching into a drawer behind it and pulling out a rag and band aid. She returned to Willow and wiped the cut, putting the band aid on it.
"Sorry." Buffy said, looking at her friend.
Hakim walked down the steps almost silent.
"We need to find that scroll or the end of the world could be the result." He sighed.
Spike escorted Giles down the stairs in case he would fall. Giles walked down the stairs, holding his head.
"Buffy, we need that Dargian's Scroll." Giles said lightly.
"Who knows what Shinja could be doing right now."
