Summary: My first real sequel, all others have been fakes, kind of an AU of S7 so a bit more original than most.

Her broadsword cut the bringers head off.
In her search for another target Buffy caught sight of Willow. She froze for a second. The slayer had seen that face before in her dreams, or more to the fact, her nightmares. Fortunately she noticed Willow seemed focused on one thing, and it wasn't killing everyone in sight. When her tunnel vision ended she rethought that last statement.
This didn't look good.
Willow was standing ten feet away from that shield bubble thingy and was sending a stream of pure magic at it. It didn't look like it was making a dent inthe bubble, instead it was making the red brighter and more violent. Like what you see in those space pictures of the sun. Almost like at any moment it was going to...
Buffy flew back eight feet from the shockwave, right into a tombstone, breaking it in half, and cracking a rib.
God she hated that.
This day was really pissing her of. Running on fumes, a mix of anger, adrenaline and desperation, and she knew that when they got home, everything that she wasn't dealing with right now would crash down on her. Right now the slayer had to focus and keep them back, make sure that those who were left got home, so they could survive the night. Only then would she let it all in. When they got home, Buffy could cry for spike.
Shaking her head Buffy pushed herself up, the cracked rib immediately made itself known and forced a grimace onto her face. Looking around she noticed that anyone within four yards of the target were on the ground. Luckily most of the group had been out of range and were taking care of the downed followers. Faith was getting up, looking worse for wear, but the rogue slayers eyes caught something that made her visibly tense.
Looking around for danger her eyes caught two forms, one she recognized as Willows limp form, fortunately the soft rise and fall of her chest said her friend was alive but unconscious. But that wasn't what made the slayer tense, it was the other form approaching her friend.
Buffy had never seen something like that before. It was bald, pale beyond reckoning, the bones in it's face put to an extreme, its fangs showing from its broken lips, dressed in what looked like scraps of leather. It looked like a some kind of vampire but...uber creepy. Worse than even the Master. Considering where it was walking from it looked this was the demon they were trying to stop from being resurrected.
So much for that idea.
Now it was heading to an unconscious witch with a malicious intent in it's eyes. She could hear Faith start running towards the fallen as she stumbled getting up and joined in the sprint to save there friends life.
"Giles get everyone out of here!"
Her voice was hoarse from yelling orders all night during the battle. The less people she had to worry about right now the better, and from the sounds of the footsteps behind her they had listened. Faith was in no shape to fight, but she could carry the unconscious witch away while the slayer distracted vampy, giving them time to get away.
if I don't make it back, Faith is the next best person to lead them.
She ran as fast as she had ever run in her life, with Faith only two steps behind her. But Buffy felt desperation hit when the realization did.
They weren't going to make it.
This only fueled to push harder, her muscles started to ache for the first time in what seems like years.
Buffy was anything but naïve about these things, uber-vamp only stood two steps away while she was a good eight, but she had to try. Not giving up for a moment even as the monster raised a clawed hand to strike.
In that moment time slowed for Buffy and became aware of all the things around her, the sound of the wind in the trees, the bite of the cold air against her face, the moon that lit up the place almost clear as day, the snarling noise the creature made as it breathed, the soft noises Willow made as she slept, the sound of Faith's feet hitting the ground as she ran, the burning in her legs and arms from strain, the tears on her cheeks.
One thing she hadn't noticed till now was a steadily increasing vibration, a rumble that slowly started sounding like a roar of some unknown beast, at this point it shook her bones and deafened her ears. Uber-vamp noticed as well and paused before it's arm could descend.
A mistake.
The whole thing happened so fast that it almost looked like the vamp disappeared, but for a split second the slayer saw another body come almost out of nowhere and slam into the pale-faced demon, driving them both into the air. And in that moment a fleeting thought entered her mind, which brought with it some relief.
He's alive.
She stumbled from stopping so quickly and could almost see Faith struggling to stop along with her. On instinct Buffy kneeled beside the fallen witch and checked her out while Faith took a defensive position.
From what she could see Willow was just knocked out.
Behind her Buffy heard the distinct sounds of fighting mixed with different ear shattering roars. Taking a quick glance she could see the two demons were a good thirty feet away and duking it out like there was no tomorrow. Uber-vamp didn't look like it was doing to well, only getting it's, what looked like very powerful, hits every once in awhile. While the other demon... just got thrown into a tree and didn't look like he was getting up anytime soon.
Getting shoved into the present she picked Willow up carefully, trying to prevent any further damage
"Faith, get her back to the house."
Not leaving much of a choice Buffy nearly shoved the unconscious witch into the Faith's arms.
"You can't take that thing by yoursef B."
Buffy could hear the true concern in Faith's voice, and it made her happy to hear it from a person who at one point wanted to see her dead. But that didn't change anything, and immediately turned to start towards the fight ahead of her.
"Faith get Willow out of here now! Your hurt and this isn't up for discussion."
Silently she prayed Faith wouldn't decide to be stubborn and get Willow to safety. All this running through her mind slowly faded as she centered herself for the fight. She did this to some degree whenever expecting a fight. From the looks of the way ugly fought she would need everything she had to get out of this alive, and maybe have time to save a dumbass vampire who cant decide if he's going to be alive or dead.
The Uber-vamp turned to her and smiled (as far as she could tell) Forcing everything into the background. Let the fisticuffs begin.

AN: Another chapter and NO FRIGGIN REVIEWS!!!!!
Well then alright, guess I have no audience, very well. That just means I get to kill everyone or just write really bad story.
I think next Angel should come back, make out with Buffy tell her she's ugly and a whore and then both go galavanting off into the sunset full of puppy love in there hearts of coal and their Brains of feathers. Spike should marry Giles and they have a bunch of kids that later screw Dawn to death. YEAH HOW BOUT THAT!!!!!!!!!!!
Sorry about that, haven't gotten a whole lot of sleep today, but seriously guys review, I need to know if people enjoy the work, and if you don't enjoy it, I want to know why.
God I need to get drunk
