I don't own any of the characters
Grandka North: Willow
"God, can't we slow down?" Andrew asked.
"No, Andrew. You didn't have to come you know." Willow said as they made their way down the path. The mountain hadn't really been that big an issue, compared to the growing heat. Now surrounded by fire true heat was understood.
"How can anyone live in this?" Xander asked.
"They can't, that's why this is an afterworld. Nothing here can die because it's already dead." Willow said. Then a little way up the path a female demon approached them. Willow readied herself to attack, but the demon just clung to her shirt.
"You are here to take the human, yes?" she said in a Sicilian accent.
"Yes." Willow said, shocked.
"She is directly north of here inside of a building. Please take her, she has plunged us into this fire, it was never this unbearable before. If anyone in the city ahead asks anything of you just tell them you have come to end this, and take the human. I beseech you!" Willow nodded. The woman turned to the flames. A fiery hand flew from them and grabbed her ankle. "A GRAKARCIAN!" she exclaimed as it pulled her into the lake of licking flames. Another hand reached out of the flames, and then a face, covered in flames with two black eyes, followed by a torso and the rest of it's upper body. None of them had considered the flames to be deep enough to conceal this giant, but that fathoms of depth were now apparent. It slammed its fist down in front of them, causing a gap between them and the rest of the path, then it slammed its fist on the other side of them, cornering them.
"GELIDUS" she screamed waving her hand at it, and it's head was suddenly covered in ice, it still somehow managed to screech in pain, but fell back into the flames. "We need to not be here." She said, then levitated the three of them across the broken path, then they all broke into a run until they were in the city.
Grandka South: Angel
"But I still don't understand what you see in him. I get that your cookie dough still and all that but come on. He is stealing my thunder." Angel said quietly to Buffy as they trudged through the snow.
"Angel, I'm not with either of you. I thought Spike was dead, it makes things a little… complicated." Buffy said.
"Us Vampires have remarkable hearing, you know? I figured you would, seeing as one of you is the slayer of vampires, and the other is a member of the club himself. Get over it Gel-head, she likes me better." Spike said.
"I do not use that much hair gel. Besides, she loves me, we have a special love." Angel got that awkward look on his face that he always got when talking about matters of the heart. Buffy just walked on.
"Hey, you know, I could be mad at you." Angel said. "You were supposed to love me too."
"Angel, we already talked about this, and lets not forget that the person we could be going to save is someone that was part of your dreamed up perfect life and I wasn't, so you aren't exactly Mr. 100 when it comes to the love area. Can we please get going?" Buffy said. Angel left it at that.
"At least we shagged more then once"
Both Buffy and Angel turned around and screamed "SPIKE!"
Grandka East: Faith
"We are ganna need a bigger boat." Faith said looking at the behemoth making its way just above the top of the trees. "Oh come on, Angel just killed that thing." The dragon from the alley, still with a hole in it's chest was making its way right for them, fire breath and all.
Dawn screamed. "Oh dear." was all Giles could say. Gunn just said Damn.
"Think you have enough mojo left to take that thing out?" Faith asked Giles. He shook his head. "didn't think so." She took off into a run and jumped off the cliff and seemingly flew toward the dragon. Giles put out his hand just before she fell beneath the tree line and used what magick he still had to guide her to the dragon. She landed on it's neck and punched it in the head over and over again, just around then everyone noticed the weapons Xander had given them were gone.
"What are you doing?" Gunn yelled at her.
"I'm a slayer, I slay." she said.
"Well that thing is already dead, we can't kill it more." Giles said.
"Dawn, how about some of that magick you learned, eh?" Faith screamed from the now spinning dragon.
Giles looked at Dawn questioningly, but she just walked to the edge of the cliff. She started glowing a little bit, and then gold light flew from her fingertips to the dragon. Faith jumped off it's back and onto a tree branch just in time. As dawn wrangled with the dragon Giles guided Faith back onto the cliff.
"Down him, kid." Faith said. Dawn nodded, then forced her hands, and the dragon down. It flew beneath the trees, and soon they heard it hit the ground.
"I don't understand." Giles said looking at Dawn, then Faith and back.
"So is every girl from Sunnydale this badass? I'm happy I never lived there, ex-girlfriends would be impossible." Gunn said.
"In Rome I started noticing things that I could do. I can channel energy from other dimensions, must be a key perk." Dawn said. "I think I can open portals to other worlds too, but Willow said that I probably shouldn't do that till we knew more about my powers."
Giles just looked dumbfounded. "With how much it's raining, and how high we are, how the hell do we get from here to where we need to be?" Gunn asked. Dawn started go glow again.
"It rains a lot in Europe."
Grandka West: Illyria
Illyria had become very fond of punching demons in the face, and these demons reacted to it just as the man who killed Wesley did. She found herself hitting harder whenever she though of him. She just kept hitting over and over again until all the demons from the square had either died, been knocked out, or fled. She turned and started walking west.
Each time she encountered a demon it was always the same, they ask her if she is trying to get the human, she says yes, and then she kills them, well, she punched them hard enough that it would take them quite a while to heal. Immortality wasn't all it was made up to be when you can live through getting your face punched in. After a while she started thinking about what it would be like to see her host, who she had never really met, face to face.
"Hello, I am the one who killed you." She though. "I am the one that took over your body, and liquefied your organs, nice to finally meet you.' This is futile. How will she react to me? Why do I feel like this will make up for me being too late to save Wesley?" Another demon crossed her path, another demons blood covered her hands.
