Spoilers: Yes I would like some for the new season of Angel please. Oh you're asking me if this story has any spoilers. No none at all.

A/N: Okay this is where I introduce my character. I hope you like her. She's the witch that Giles is supposed to bring back. I happen to like her a lot. She has secrets and secrets are always good. Now to the story. See if our favorite heroes made it out alive.

Chapter 11:

"Oh I wonder what the good guys are going to do when faced in this predicament. Will they be able to make it out alive." Willow said in mock horror. Buffy pushed Spike behind her and he didn't complain. From what he saw he couldn't take any of these people except for the one fledging.

"Kill that fledging." Willow ordered to one of her men. The vampire was dusted in a matter of seconds.

"Now doesn't this look like someone is outnumbered. It's what six against one. The vampire won't be of any use considering these are all people. So the hero is caught in quite a predicament." Willow said as she walked over to where Spike and Buffy stood.

"You know I have to kill one of you after hearing about that delightful little prophecy that is meant to take me down. Protect the savior. Well it would seem that would be both of your guys's job. Nothing personal against you Buff, but the vampire just was to die." Willow said.

She was really close by now. Almost right in Buffy's face. Buffy didn't flinch although she was scared. No way was she going to get Spike just to loose him in a few days.

"You know what Wills this whole I've been done wrong thing is getting old fast." Buffy hissed in Willow's face.

"I'm just trying to do what you can't. Kill all the vampires. No you have to fall in love with all of them and then that blinds you. Then they leave you. Everyone leaves poor Buffy. She gets to shut down or run away, but I don't get to grieve my way. That isn't very fair."

"Willow can't you see that what you're doing is wrong?"

"Yes and it's about to get a whole lot worse. See I'm done with this whole vigilante thing that I had going on. What's the point? Evil keeps coming. So if you can't beat them, join them."

"So now what you think that you have what it takes to be the next big bad? Puh-lease! I've taken done things that are way scary then anything you have to throw my way."

"Ow, Buffy you wound me. Where's that whole gotta save Wills attitude?"

"Personally it left when you threatened people I care about. See the only reason that I don't have Giles do that spell to take away your powers is because there are people that care about you. I would have done it a long time ago if those people didn't stop me."

"Typical Buffy. Let someone you love die to save the world. Did it for Angel why would Willow be any different? See, Buffy, I always wondered if you have a heart and I can see it now. It surrounds this vampire and it surrounds all your friends and family. Does it surround me?" Buffy was quiet for a second.

"Yes." Buffy said in a barely audible whisper.

"Really you have a big heart. Even when I'm all evil you still love me. Touching really. To think that after all this time of badness you still care about me."

"It doesn't change the fact that what you're doing is wrong. I will care about you always, but I can't change the fact that you killed people."

"Oh with the speeches. They are so old and boring. Just shut up. Admit that you have thought about being bad. That it appeals to you."

"Maybe, but there's a difference from appeal and doing bad."

"You've been awful quiet there vampire. Got nothing to say. That's unbelievable, because you've always been so annoying about talking way to damn much."

Buffy looked back at Spike. She couldn't understand what he was thinking.

"I think that 'll let Buffy do all the talkin'."

"Still not like you. I would think that a man who is about to die, well again in your case, would have a lot to say."

"Nothin' much." The truth was Spike felt another headache coming on. It would be just great if he passed out and made their job easier. Buffy saw the repressed pain in his eyes and knew exactly what was going on.

No he can't pass out on me now. I need to find a way to get us out of here.

"Well why don't you tell us what that nothing much is."

"Jus' that I hope Buffy kicks your evil-wannabe ass."

"Oh you have such high expectations. Do you really think that with my magic little Slayer Buffy could take me?"

"Well what can I say. Always root on my girl." Spike said trying to keep his cool. The pain between his eyes was excruciating and getting hard to handle without his Buffy fingers.

"Right you two officially a couple now. I bet Xander and Giles just loved that."

"Actually they were very fine with it." Buffy said.

"You know Buffy it's a wonder Giles can stand it. You're supposed to be the slayer and here you are saving and protecting vampires when you should be killing them. Spike should be dead by now, but instead you decided to ride him like your own personal pony and then treat him like shit. And he stays. What a good boy. Now I see why you choose him. He's just so whipped that he'll never leave. Just what Buffy needs. A man that won't leave her like the other men of her life have. Well you know what I'm done with talking. Bored now, so let's get on with the killing. Boys." Three mean looking guys advanced forward.

"So you got a plan luv?" Spike asked still trying to keep his pain at bay.

"I plan to kick these guys's ass and then get out of here."

"That it?"

"Yeah I don't got a better plan. Do you have one?"

"Don't do my best thinkin' wif a headache that makes my head feel like 's gonna explode."

"Damn it if one of those guys think that they're going to get a hand on you I'll kill them. No one touches my Spike."

"Very possessive luv. Let's try focusing that anger on them." The three guys lunged at Buffy. Arms and legs came into action. These guys seem to be strong. It was probably some magical concoction. Buffy was landing a few punches and kicks, but these guys had some powerful mojo. Spike had figured that if the chip was malfunctioning that it was going to hurt anyway so he jumped in. He landed a few punches, but the pain in his head was intensifying.

"Spike get out of here!" Buffy yelled. She was having serious trouble fighting off these guys.

There was still Amy, that other guy and Willow herself to worry about. She had managed to knock out one guy, but he just got right back up. Willow was using magic to energize them like a battery. She would punch and kick and they would fall down, but then get right back. She saw out of the corner of her Spike trying to fight a guy as well. She couldn't let him get hurt. She punched someone again and ran over to Spike.

"Spike please go. You can't get hurt." Buffy said. She had never been so concerned about anyone in her life. She could feel the repressed tears in her eyes.

"Buffy I'm not gonna leave you 'ere alone." Spike said. As much as he wanted to leave and go curl up somewhere he couldn't he had to fight the pain and help her.

"Spike please."

"Let's go." Spike said grabbing Buffy's hand. She didn't understand what was going on until they were almost to the door. They were making a run for it.

Willow had been watching with delight as her men beat Buffy. She would try to take them down, but she wasn't a match for her superhuman lackeys.

"They're going to get away." Amy said.

"No they won't." Willow said as a shot of green sparks flew through the air and to the door. Buffy and Spike got to the door and when they tried to open it they flew back from a jolt of something that they assumed was magic.

"Didn't think that it would be that easy now did you? Puh-lease! Like I would make it that easy." Buffy got up, but Spike stayed down. That jolt had really sent more pain through him then he needed. He wasn't out, but he couldn't bring himself to get up.

"Wow I thought that he'd be stronger then that." Amy said.

"He's weak. He's been weak for a while now and that's why I choose now to take them down." Willow said, "Brian take him down. Maybe rough him up a little before you do so."

"Yes Dark Mistress." Brian said as he made his way over to Spike. He was going to enjoy this.

Buffy saw him walking over to Spike and panicked. She fought the three guys with all her strength and eventually knocked them out again. She ran over to Spike before the new guy could make his way over to him.

"Hey what do you think you're going to do?" Buffy said.

"I thought that I might kill that pathetic excuse for a vampire." Brian said.

"Well you're going to have to get through me first."

"You know at first I thought that you and him might have had just a fling or he was really sick. Then the Dark Mistress told me that you cared for the vampire. You are really disgusting. Some of the things in his mind."

"Wait you're the guy that did that whole brain sucking thing on my Spike. Oh well know you are so going to die."

"Right I'd like to see you try."

"Well I never turn down a challenge." Buffy launched her attack.

Fists fell through the air. This guy wasn't easy to take down, but he wasn't as hard to take down as the other guys. It made Buffy wonder if he was using magic.

"That's right slayer. Wondering if I'm using magic to kick your ass. I'm not." Brian said as he punched Buffy again. She blocked his next punch and kicked him in the stomach.

"You know you're a pretty good fighter, but I'm better." Buffy said as she hovered above him.

Her fist hit his face repeatedly. Suddenly Buffy felt herself rise in the air. Something was strangling her. She tried to make it stop, but there were no hands around her neck. She looked over to see Willow's hand in the air and a shot of magic coming straight towards her.

"Why don't you beat him up now? Should be fun." Willow said never breaking her contact with Buffy. Buffy could feel the life being squeezed out of her, but she also remembered Willow saying she wouldn't kill her. She was only keeping her like this long enough to kill Spike. And Buffy would have to watch.

Brian hovered over Spike like a cat would do to a poor defenseless mouse. He was part demon hunter and he still enjoyed killing vampires every now and then. He had the power to beat things and he enjoyed using it. He looked at Spike. Spike was twitching slightly from the pain of the chip. He could still hear what was going on around him. He could also hear Buffy struggling. He wanted to help her, but it was like he had no control over his body.

He was going through a seizure like thing. So this was all going to end like this. Everything he had was about to be taken away from him because they were heroes. Well Buffy was, but he had helped out a lot. This was the end and he would never get to see his Buffy again. Spike squeezed his eyes tighter and wished for it to be over quick. He felt fist connect with his face and stomach. The pain was minimal from the pain that he was experiencing in his head. Spike waited for the stake to make contact with his skin, but it never came.

Buffy looked over at Spike and watched as Brian hit him repeatedly. Spike seemed to be in so much pain already that it didn't even faze him. Not to say that Buffy wasn't wounded. She would have screamed or cried but the hold on her throat permitted her form doing too much of that. So this was how you get reward for saving the world on numerous occasions. You finally find something that makes you happy and it gets taken away just like that. Before long Buffy couldn't stomach watching Brian beat on Spike and she turned her head over to Willow. She really seemed to be enjoying herself with Amy by her side. Laughing at Buffy for her pathetic attempts to get away from the magically hold.

All Buffy could do was hope that something would come and save her and Spike. That's when she heard it. A loud crashing noise burst from behind Buffy. Buffy tried to turn her head to see what was going on but couldn't. She looked over at Willow who seemed to have horror in her eyes with a mixture of anger and sadness. Buffy heard loud grunts and groans coming from all directions. There was a fight going on she knew that much. She didn't know who was doing the beating on Willow's team. She saw one of the men she was beating up early slide to the ground below her. He was out and not getting up. Suddenly Willow came hovering towards her.

"This isn't over Buffy. See one of these days is going to be your last and I won't be there to bring you back because I'll be the one that sent you there." Willow said dropping

Buffy to the ground and disappearing in a flash. Buffy fell to the floor and gasped for breath. She turned around to see Giles. She looked over to see if Spike was alright. He was still in a heap on the floor, but Brian was busy fighting off a girl. She was most likely the witch that the coven had sent to help them.

She was wearing black pants and a red shirt. She had the same kind of combat boots that Spike wore and the same kind of leather jacket. She had brown short shoulder length hair that was cut into choppy layers. Streaks of red, blue, and green along with an array of small braids stuck out in her hair style. She wore heavy black eye makeup and bright red lipstick. She was slightly tanned and pretty small. Not taller then Buffy that was for sure.

She seemed to fight Brian with easy using her fist and sometimes magic. She couldn't have been more then eighteen. Buffy watched her fight as she made her way over to Spike. He didn't look good, but he had been beaten up worse then this. It was mainly the chip that worried Buffy. She cradled Spike in her arms and watched the fight before her.

The girl was a pretty skilled fighter while Brian seemed to be more about street fighting. She was beating him easily. Her magic surpassed his and so did her strength. She would be very useful in battle. It didn't take long for Brian to realize that he could never beat her. She had always been too strong for him.

"All right, Mad, I think that we'll finish this up later." Brian said panting for breath. She was a few feet away and there would be no way she could stop him from teleporting out.

"Sure you always say that, but if I remember correctly I seem to recall you saying that and not showing up to finish it for four whole months. So I decided better bring the fight to you."

"Oh, Mad, you were never one for patience. I was just waiting for the right moment when I knew that I could take you."

"That moment would be never. Tow for the dark side and see if I care. I have a cause and that doesn't include you. Not anymore anyway." The brunette said.

"Oh well we'll see who comes out on top. Kiss to your mom for me." Brian said. The girl tried to run over to him before he teleported away, but it was no use.

"Damn it." The girl said. She looked around and spotted Buffy.

"Do you need help?"

Buffy thought it was sort of a 'duh' question. The girl came closer to them and so did Giles.

"Buffy what on earth happened to him?" Giles said pointing to Spike.

"I think that the chip malfunctioned again. He tried to help, but was taken down. I don't think that that jolt of magic that hit us when we tried to escape helped. How do you guys get in?" Buffy asked.

"We did a counter spell to deactivate the barrier." Giles said.

"Oh, I'm guessing you're the witch from the coven." Buffy said directing her attention to the girl that was hovering over Spike.

"Yep that'd be me. This a vampire?" the girl said pointing to Spike.

"Yes." Giles said, "It's really interesting story about him."

"He has a soul. I can see it. It's pretty." The girl commented.

"Giles we need to get out of here. Help me carry him to the car." Buffy said. She knew that she was being rude to the girl, but something was more important right now.

"Wait a sec. Let me see if there isn't anything I can do to help." The girl squatted down and put her hands over Buffy and Spike's faces.

For a second Buffy could feel the magic following through her. It was like a burst of energy. Then she felt all her wounds heal at once. The girl stayed there with her hands glowing healing Buffy and Spike until there was no more to do.

"What was that?" Buffy asked curiously. It felt like warmth had been following through her.

"I healed your wounds. Not sure if that did any good for. what's his name?" the girl said pointing to Spike.

"Spike." Buffy said.

"Spike cool nickname. Anyway like I was saying I don't know if it did any good for Spike, but I did the best I could. Giles told me a little about the chip and I don't think that there is anything I can do about that, but if he doesn't have to worry about his wounds then he can recover from the chip malfunction better."

"That makes sense. Thanks."

"Don't mention it." Buffy picked up Spike. She was getting used to this. She asked Giles, "Where is you car?"

"No car. We got here and Madison sensed danger. We teleported here." Giles said.

"Oh well you can drive Spike's car. You know me and cars aren't exactly best friends." Buffy said.

"Yes of course. Where is it?"

"Not to far from here." Buffy said. Spike had been gaining more weight and becoming his old self. It would be harder for her to carry him.

"Put him down." The girl said.

"What?" Buffy asked.

"Put him down and I'll use magic to carry him. He's got to be a little heavy." She said.

"Okay thanks." The girl used magic to levitate Spike.

"I'll get the car and bring it around to here. Where are the keys?" Buffy searched through the pockets of Spike's duster and retrieved the keys then threw them at Giles.

"Be right back."

Silence engulfed the two women.

"Sorry for being rude earlier."

"It's okay. I can see that you care for Spike a lot. You were worried." The girl said.

"I didn't catch your name. Giles said something about a Madison and I heard that guy who was trying to kill Spike say somethin about a Mad."

"Names Madison Grace Fletcher. Call me Maddy everyone does."

"Hey Maddy I'm Buffy Summers."

A/N: Okay sorry for the short chappy. Now that I look at it I realize that it was a little rushed, but that's because I'm trying to get to the good parts. I know that the introduction of Maddy wasn't the longest, but it is just an introduction. Know this much though, I'm bringing in some Angel characters. All of them in fact. In the next chapter it will be mostly about the Angel Investigations crew coming in. You may be asking why and here's my answer: it needs more characters and I dislike the turn that last season of Angel took. It was just too serious and I don't like it. So beware that the Spuffy might take a backseat, but not too much. This is a Spuffy fic.
