A/N 2: The fight scenes really are pretty much non existent cause I'm horrible at them but I wanted to put a little action in the story.
Chapter 11.
The1967 Plymouth GTXpulled up outside the abandoned shop exactly twelve minutes later and all five passengers climbed out.
"Ok guys, you know the drill" Angel called out. "Buffy, you and Faith see if you can find a back entrance. Both Slayers nodded and took off down the side alley. "Conner, your with me we'll go in the front, and Dawn, I want you to cover us, take out as many vamps as you can from afar. I don't want you to resort to hand to hand alright?"
Dawn just nodded, glad to be out with them.
Faith looked over at Buffy as they quietly made their way through the alley. "So B" She said conversationally. "How are things in Sunnydale?"
Buffy glanced over at her sister Slayer. On one hand she thought Faith deserved to be in prison, but on the other, Angel obviously trusted her as well as his entire team in L.A, even Cordelia who was defiantly not one of Faith's supporters in Sunnydale. "Pretty quiet actually, well we seem to have a slight nerd infestation" At Faith's quizzical look she just shook her head. "That'll be taken care of soon enough. What about things up here?"
"Dull"
"Oh" Buffy looked up and noticed a window that would be just big enough for them to climb through. "What do you think?" Buffy asked, the anticipation of a good fight heard clearly in her voice.
The dark Slayer smirked. "Perfect"
Faith being the taller of the two girls gave Buffy a boost and once the blonde Slayer had gotten inside, she pulled herself through. Looking around they found themselves in appeared to be some kind of storage room, it was empty but had shelves upon shelves from the floor to the ceiling.
Silently, both aware of how good a vampires hearing was they crept to the door and opened it slightly. Peeking through the door they could see, what obviously was the leader standing on a few boxes in front of a crowd of vampires.
"Get ready my brothers and sisters" He exclaimed theatrically. "In minutes we will take over the night, and the blood shall flow freely."
The Slayers shared a look before rolling their eyes in unison. Pulling open the door, they stepped, swords at the ready.
"Didn't anybody tell you" Faith quipped. "Around here you have to work for your food"
"And my God." Buffy added. "Could your lines get any cheesier" She glanced at the other Slayer. "Is it just these guys, or have I been spoiled by the hellmouth vamps?" She joked.
Faith grinned. "Just these ones, usually our bad guys are much wittier." She looked back at the stunned vampires. "C-mon guys" She teased. "Show her what Hollywood vampires are made of."
The leader finally snapped out of it. "Kill the Slayer" He screamed pointing at Faith.
"Oh yeah, that really helps my case" Faith muttered sarcastically before facing the onslaught.
Buffy looked offended, swinging her sword, she decapitated two vamps in one swing. "What am I, chopped liver? I'm a Slayer too, in fact I'm the original Slayer-" She was cut off mid rant and Angel kicked the front door in.
Angel entered to see the vampires charging Buffy and Faith and had to stop for a moment to admire the simple beauty of the Slayers in action. It was like poetry in motion, each knowing instinctively where the other one was, each playing off of the other, one Slayer was amazing, two were nearly unstoppable.
"Uh little help here" Buffy called, surrounded.
His face shifting, Angel growled. "Not nearly enough" before throwing himself into the fray, feeling rather than seeing Connor right behind him.
Dawn moved off to the left and into the shadows, knowing that a vampire could probably see her anyway but she wasn't going to give them an easy target. Putting a bolt into the crossbow she aimed away from her friends and pulled the trigger. The vampire barely had time to cry out before he dusted. Suppressing a yell of victory she reloaded the crossbow and pointed at another vampire.
Meanwhile Faith was having a blast. She'd already dusted four vampires and was working on her fifth. Blocking a punch she threw one of her own before adding a roundhouse kick that knocked the vamp of it's feet, with a quick swipe of her sword, he was dust.
Buffy was having a bit more trouble with her opponent. She tried to swing her sword but he just grabbed her arm and with a quick twist of his wrist knocked the weapon out of her hand, then head butted her. Stunned for a moment Buffy staggered back, shaking herself she cleared her head in time to catch the incoming fist. Grabbing him by the front of his shirt she delivered a vicious back-hand, then pulled a stake out from her waist band and dusting him before he could regain his Barings. Looking around she noticed her sword wasn't on the ground, either someone had picked it up or it had been kicked away. Not able to dwell on it any further she kicked another vampires legs from under it.
Angel and Connor were working in tandem, each killing vampires like they were made for it. Each with a different style. Where Angel would use sheer strength and brutality, Connor would use his speed and agility, each were effective it wasn't long till they both had several piles of dust around them.
While Dawn had managed to take out four vampires with the crossbow, it wasn't long before one of the vampires noticed her in the corner. His movement was a blur, and before Dawn knew it he'd knocked the crossbow out of her hand and was advancing slowly. Lashing out he punched her in the face causing her to cry out.
"Dawn" Buffy called out "I'm coming." She took out the vamp she was facing and turned around in time to see Dawn dive under the Vampires arm and pick up Buffy's abandoned sword from where it had been kicked near the wall. (A/N: Think Grave)
Holding the sword in one hand, Dawn impaled the vampire before pulling back. Gripping the sword in both hands she severed it's head from it's neck. turning around she saw that all the vampires had been slain and everyone but Connor was watching her in shock. "What?" She asked. "You think I never watched you?"
Before anybody could reply Angel's cell phone rang and disturbed the silence. While he answered it Buffy came over and gave her little sister a hug. "I'm so proud of you" She said, it clearly showing on her face.
Faith and Connor joined them. "Yeah, nice moves Little D"
Connor gave her a wide smile. "Knew you could do it."
"Oh crap" Angel muttered flipping his cell phone closed. "Guys we gotta move, Cordelia's just had another vision, turns out these vamps were entirely different from the demons. The demons are now at the club trying to raise some kind of leader or something, we need to get down there."
Throwing the sword to Buffy, Dawn spun around and grabbed her crossbow from where it had been thrown and followed the rest of the gang down the road.
Reaching the door to the club Faith tried to open it and found it was locked. Pulling her leg back she sent a powerful kick that shattered the door wide open and raced through. She cut the head off of the stunned demon that was obviously meant to be keeping guard before sauntering into the middle of the room.
Buffy, was the next person in looked down at the demon Faith had decapitated and noticed that they looked familiar. Unable to remember where she had seen them before, she brushed it aside and focused on the two that were charging her. Somersaulting over there heads she landed behind them and spun around, landing a 180 degree kick that caused one to fall down and other to stumble back, using the tip of her sword she quickly pierced the heart of the one on the ground before following Faith's example and decapitating the other.
Angel and Connor ran in next and each faced two opponents as they charged. Angel held out his axe in front of him and almost laughed when the demon impaled himself on it. Crouching down he kicked the legs out from underneath the second one and stabbed it though the heart. Glancing over at Connor to make sure he was ok, he saw his son take care off the last of his two.
"You won't stop the rise of our glorious lea- aaaah" The demon standing on the stage screamed at a crossbow imbedded itself into his left eye. Before falling to the ground dead.
As one the group of 4 turned to face Dawn who smiled sheepishly. "Sorry, finger slipped."
Faith gave her a quick grin. "Thanks Little D, really didn't wanna listen to him prattle on all night."
Buffy finished off the demon she was facing and turned to look at Faith with a raised eyebrow. "Prattle?"
Faith groaned. "To much time with the watcher." She grimaced.
Buffy just laughed, took a quick look around to make sure all the demons were dead before turning to Angel. "Did Wes say anything about what we need to do to stop the raising?"
"He said killing the demons should be enough unless there's a black orb"
"Uh like that one?" Dawn asked, eyes on the pulsating black ball that was floating about six feet off the top of the stage.
They all turned to watch as the orb started to grow bigger. "You have to pierce with a sword, drain the energy out of it" Angel cried.
Both Slayers leapt for the stage and as one shoved their swords straight into the bottom of the ball of energy.
End Chapter 11.
