Hey people I'm back. We're on the fourth chapter and its finally time to introduce a few more characters.

Chapter 4: The alliance.

Metamoor.

Phobos stared across the grounds underneath his palace watching his new work force produce the weapons that would be necessary to conquer earth. These 'bringers' were most efficient they seemed to work endlessly never tiring or needing rest. After he and lord Cedric were imprisoned in the tower of mists in Candracar Phobos thought perhaps it was finally over. This prison seemed impenetrable and cut off from Metamoor most of his powers were drained.

The two's salvation came from an unexpected source an entity who referred to itself simply has the first. In exchange for freeing Cedric and Phobos from the tower of mists Phobos would have to allow the first to set up his operations in his domain in Metamoor were the first could work without its 'enemies interference.

"Your minions are efficient Phobos said has he toured the factory. Speaking to the entity that had appeared to his left. A slightly hunched figure with distorted facial features and pale skin.

"But of course," The first responded in its guise has the master of vampires. "They have faithfully served me for centuries and now that my designs are in motion soon the seeds will bare their fruit,"

"Are you not concerned by the interference of the Guardians or the slayer?" Phobos queried giving the first an odd look.

The first's form shifted from that of the vampire master to a new form a strange creature which was a tall muscular humanoid with green leathery skin sown and stapled onto various places creating hideous scars across its body it also had silver metallic implants located along its chest and head.

"Do not be concerned," The new form of the first answered in a logical almost computerised sounding voice. "Things are well within parameters. Proceeding to my expectations." The first form changed again this time to a man wearing a business suit in his mid thirties with tall ginger hair and a cruel grinning face. "Just don't forget to uphold your side of our arrangement," He said in an almost threatening tone.

Phobos returned the gesture with an equally venomous glare. "Do not worry I will keep up my end of our arrangement.

"Good, now we must arrange a proper reception for two visitors who are coming to Heatherfield," The first said his form again shifting to that of the masters.

"Vampyr's? " Phobos asked curiously.

"Yes and also much more," The first answered. "These two are re-in-souled vampires. They are also two of the most powerful warriors in the earth world.

"Cedric find these two warriors and issue an… invitation," Phobos ordered carefully choosing his words.

"Yes sire," Cedric saluted turning to leave his lords presence.

"You realise your minion will likely be lost during his encounter with William and Angelus?" the first enquired.

"Do not concern yourself Cedric is more powerful than he may at first appear. And besides…" Phobos paused leaving the first in anticipation for a moment. "He knows better than to fail me,"

"A few miles outside of Heatherfield.

"I told you we shouldn't have taken directions from a Skalgarian demon," Angel scolded Spike. Spike just stared at Angel for a moment.

"We were lost you twit! Beside it was worth a try wasn't?" Spike answered through his heavy British accent.

"What asking directions from a guy whose only eyes are in the back of his head?" Angel replied sarcastically. The two had been travelling together for months now after the destruction of wolfram&heart they had formed a rickety partner relationship travelling across America in search of Buffy which had now brought them to a small town known has Heatherfield.

"Well at least we're her now," Spike said shrugging off the insult. "You know I hear this town actually has pixies living in it?"

Ok that's it for the moment more coming about Friday give or take.
