Hello all of my readers I am back with chapter 11, I would like to say that I would have had this chapter out sooner but I was busy but the truth is that I am very lazy and I was also very sad about the way Angel ended but hope is not lost I hear that they are making a TV movie to finish things up. Now that I am done talking ON WITH THE CHAPTER!!!

The Holy Blade

Chapter 11

Xander and the Charmed ones were pulling up to a stop in front of the Hotel after a very peaceful night.

"So we finally meet this mondo bitch," Phoebe said as the group got out of the car they arrived in.

"Yup, please don't turn into a toad or anything we may need her down the line," Xander said as the group started heading towards the doors.

"We won't," Phoebe responded.

"Speak for yourself," Paige mumbled under her breath.

"I heard that," Xander said as they walked into the lobby.

Paige simply responded by sticking her tongue out at him. Xander was about to come up with a cutting comeback line when he saw Dawn running up to him with Faith close behind.

"Hey Dawn, Faith," Xander said in greeting to the two women.

"Hey yourself Xan," Faith responded.

"Buffy and Willow are upstairs going on about some odd thing with Giles," Dawn said.

"What odd thing?" Xander asked suddenly nervous.

"Not sure exactly, something about helping you with the demon then finding a way to drag you to Cleveland," Dawn replied.

"They are not gonna give up are they?" Xander asked.

"Nope, but I see you brought all three witches this time, If they get out of hand they could turn them into toads, and Giles is also trying to talk sense into them," Faith said with a grin.

"Why does everyone think that we're gonna turn them into toads?" Phoebe asked in exasperation.

"Because you haven't met them yet," Paige replied as the group headed for the stairs.

Soon the group was standing outside Buffy's room, Xander reached up and knocked on the door, a couple seconds later the blond slayer opened it.

"Come in," Buffy said as she moved out of the way and allowed the group to enter.

"Buff, Will, Giles meet Phoebe and Piper," Xander said as he introduced the other two witches.

"Nice to meet you," Piper said polity.

"Same here," Buffy said.

"Ok, now down to business, we need to come up with a plan for what to do when Selabdule rises," Xander said as the group all sat down in various places around the room.

"So what do we know about Selabdule so far?" Giles asked.

"Not much, he's super powerful, very old, and wants to conquer the multiverse," Xander explained.

"And that Xander's sword is the only thing that can hurt him," Phoebe added.

"Xander could I see the sword?" Giles asked the one eyed man.

"Sure," Xander said, pulling the sword out of his coat and handing it to Giles.

"Marvelous," Giles said as he began to look the sword over.

"So do we even have some thing close to a plan?" Buffy asked the group.

"Well so far it is that I train with Daystar in order to tap into its powers," Xander explained.

"What happens when you tap into its powers?" Willow asked.

"Well so far all that happens is my senses get stronger, but since I can only tap a small amount of its power I don't know what will happen once I can draw more," Xander responded.

"Well lets hope that something good happens because if it doesn't we're all screwed," Paige said from her place next to Xander.

"This is a very interesting sword Xander," Giles said as he handed the sword back.

"Thanks," Xander responded as he put the sword back in his coat.

"Could you show me where you found it?" Giles asked.

"Sure, when?" Xander asked.

"Now if possible," Giles responded.

"Works for me," Xander responded.

"We want to come too," Buffy said, gesturing to herself and Willow.

"Fine," Xander responded in an exasperated voice.

"Hey I can't carry all these people myself," Paige said turning to Xander.

"Paige I was thinking that we could drive," Xander said, turning to his girlfriend.

"Oh, that works," Paige responded, a little embarrassed.

"Well lets go already," Buffy said.

Twenty minutes later the group was walking through a cemetery towards the mausoleum where Daystar was found.

"This is the place," Xander said as he opened the door of the crypt.

"You found your sword in a mausoleum?" Willow asked.

"Actually under it but yeah more or less," Xander said as he walked inside with the Charmed ones right behind.

After the entire group had entered Xander showed them the stairway and the entire group walked down into the large underground temple.

"Wow," Buffy said in awe.

Giles didn't say anything, instead he walked over to a wall and began to examine the various symbols painted there. Before Giles could begin to translate any of the symbols, a loud scream broke the silence of the temple.

Turning toward the source of the sound the group saw two large reptile like demons exactly like the ones that had attacked Xander when he first got the sword.

"Great, more of them," Xander said as he pulled Daystar out of his coat and took up a defensive pose.

"What the hell are those things?" Buffy asked as she stood by Xander.

"Selabdule's minions," Xander responded as the pair of demons ran at them.

Xander and Buffy stood their ground as the demons charged. At the last second they both jumped to the sides making the demons run past them and hit a nearby wall.

"Not to smart are they?" Buffy asked with a grin as she and Xander turned to face the demons.

"Nope but they are fast so watch out," Xander warned as the demons once again charged them.

Before the demons could reach them they were sent flying into a wall from a bolt of lighting, turning, the two warriors saw that Willow was charging up another blast as the demons got back up.

Willow then launched the blast towards the large monsters but this time they saw it coming and effortlessly jumped over the blast and charged towards the red haired witch.

Before the demons could reach Willow Buffy ran forward and kicked one, causing it to fly back a few feet onto the floor while Xander quickly took aim and threw Daystar at the other demon, imbedding the sword deep in it's leg causing it too fall to the ground.

Not giving the demon a chance to recover Xander ran forward and pulled the sword out of the demons leg and was about to bring it down on the demons neck when he was sent flying across the room by the monsters arm.

The demon then quickly regained it's footing and ran forward towards Xander to finish the job when a blast hit it's injured leg causing it fall again, and giving Xander time to get away.

Turning Xander saw that the blast had come from Piper. Xander sent a nod her way to show his thanks as the witch simply smiled in return. Xander then ran forward and quickly cut off the demon's head causing it to turn into a pool of green ooze before disappearing.

"One down," Xander said to himself while turning towards the other demon.

Xander was not surprised too see that Buffy was holding her own against the demon. She was moving around quickly causing the demon to tire fast but due too the demon's height none of her attacks were having any effect.

"Buffy!" Xander yelled to get her attention. When the blond slayer turned to look at him he drew his arm back and lobbed Daystar over to her.

Buffy jumped into the air and grabbed Daystar. When she landed she turned to face the demon again and quickly put a deep slash in one of its legs causing it too fall. She then raised the sword over her head and brought it down on the demon's neck, killing it.

"Well that was fun," Xander said as he walked over and took his sword back from Buffy.

"Yeah, lets not do it again," Buffy responded with a grin.

"Well now that all the excitement is over maybe I can get on with figuring out what these blasted symbols mean," Giles said, slightly pissed, as he turned back to the wall.

Xander walked over and sat down on the fallen pillar they had used to kill the first demon and soon Paige joined him.

"You okay?" She asked with concern in her voice.

"Yeah, I'm fine," Xander responded.

"Good," Paige said as she put her head on his shoulder while Xander wrapped his arm around her.

"This certainly has been an eventful day," Xander said.

"And just think, it's only half over," Paige responded with a grin.

"Don't reminded me," Xander grumbled.

Paige in turn just laughed and kissed him.
