The Greatest Vampire

Chapter 8: The Gem of the Primitive.

Buffy walked up to the door to Dawn and Spike's place. She knocked on the door and waited. A minute later Spike opened the door.

"Buffy? What are doing here?" He asked.

Buffy waited a second, not knowing what to do. It came to her. She punched Spike in the nose.

"OW! What the hell was that for?" Spike yelled.

"The sun is getting weaker, Angelus is running around, and Dawn is studying magic! What the hell is your problem?" Buffy yelled.

"Go home, Slayer," Spike ordered.

"How dare you?" Buffy said in disbelief.

"Yeah. Angelus is trying to extinguish the sun... permanently but you have no right to come here if you're just going to bitch about Dawn. She is a full grown woman and has the right to do whatever she wants and I can't stop her," Spike yelled.

"Yeah, she always leaving her stuff in my room," Connor said walking by.

"Women do that, honey," Darla said walking the other way.

"Is that-," Buffy said pointing towards Darla as Spike pushed her outside.

Spike explained everything that happened while

"So, the bitch who tried to shoot my kneecaps is human and the mother of my ex-lover's son, who I never knew about and my sister is trying to open a gateway to the world of souls so she can personally take Angel's soul and throw it at him. What is your problem?" Buffy yelled.

"Oh and I might have to kill him," Spike added with a smile.

"Oh. Great."

"Hey Buf! Long time no see," Angelus said taking all the attention to himself.

"Ah, yeah, he does that," Spike said pointing.

"Buffy, I would've gotten ready if I knew you were coming," Angelus said in a falsely depressed voice.

"Save it, Angelus," Buffy said pulling out Mr. Pointy.

"Well, Slayer time I took one out myself," Angelus said as his face vamped out.

"Connor, get Dawn and you mother out of here!" Spike yelled.

Buffy jumped at Angelus. The vampire jumped back and grabbed her by the neck. Spike jumped at them and tackled Buffy. Angelus jumped back and was completely spared from the attack.

"What the hell was that for?" Buffy yelled getting up.

"You were about to be angel food," Spike said getting up and grabbing the stake.

He took aim and threw it at Angelus. The vampire caught the wooden weapon just before it hit his chest.

"Buffy?" Dawn asked from the door.

"Dawn come on!" Connor yelled.

"Buffy behind you!" Dawn yelled.

Buffy whirled around and kicked Angelus in the chest just as he was about to jump on her. She grabbed Angelus and threw him onto the driveway.

"Buffy!" Spike yelled tossing her the stake.

"Thanks!" She yelled back, catching it.

She brought it down towards Angelus but he rolled out of the way. Spike grabbed Angelus and began punching him repeatedly. Angelus broke off and kicked Spike in a parked RV. Buffy tried to attack but Angelus grabbed her wrist and spun her around so they were looking the same way. He pulled her in and wrapped his arm around her neck.

"You're sister is next," He whispered in her ear.

Angelus growled and sank his teeth into her neck. Buffy screamed in agony but overall she couldn't fight him off.

"NO!" Spike yelled tackling Angelus off of her.

"Damn, I wanted to kill me a slayer," Angelus said jumping back.

"You'll never kill her," Spike said with fire in his eyes.

"Look at her," Angelus said as his face changed back.

Spike turned to Buffy. She was lying on the ground with blood trickling from her neck. Spike rushed over to her and propped her up in his arms.

"See you around, Willie," Angelus said as he turned and walked away.

Spike grabbed Mr. Pointy and threw it at his grand-sire. Angelus stopped walking and the stake missed him completely. Angelus just smirked and walked away.

"CONNOR!" Spike screamed.

No one answered. Connor must have done what he was told for once and ran. Spike grabbed the injured vampire slayer and set her on his new motorcycle. He got on behind her and took off. Needless to say backseat driving wasn't easy. Spike checked her into the hospital and called Dawn. Willow had met up with them and was preparing to do the spell to put Angel's soul back. All she needed was the Orb of Thesala. (No idea if that's the right spelling)

Spike went back to the house and met up with Dawn and Willow. Willow was showing Dawn a few tricks on levitation.

"Where's Darla and Connor?" Spike asked.

"They went to get the orb," Dawn replied.

"It's getting dangerous out there. The sun's getting darker every day," Spike said looking out the window.

"How's Buffy?" Dawn asked.

"Still out. The doctors expect her to be awake within the week, though."

"Thank God," Dawn said with a sigh of relief.

"Thank Hekatay. You're a witch now Dawnie," Willow corrected.

"Got it!" Connor yelled as he opened the door and walked in.

"We had to pay a damn fortune," Darla said.

"Good, but we need the gem before I do the spell," Willow explained.

"What gem?" Spike asked.

Willow picked up a bag and pulled out a sword and a book. She threw the sword to Spike and opened the book.

"That is the Sword of the Primitive. We picked it up in New York. It was the weapon of the very first slayer. You'll notice that empty spot in between the blade and the handle," Willow explained.

It was true. The divider had gold ring with the tang in the middle.

"That's where the gem of the primitive goes. The second slayer took the sword but buried the gem with her sister, the primitive. The gem was unearthed and now Angelus has it so we can't use any magic on him without it going caplooy on us."

"Get started with the spell. I'll get the gem before your done," Spike said grabbing a sword from the weapon cabinet.

"I'll come with," Connor said grabbing his ax.

"What the hell. He saved my soul," Darla said grabbing another broadsword.

"Ah no," Spike said taking the sword and putting it back in the cabinet.

"I still have the vampire fighting skills," she argued.

"Not the strength. Plus if Angelus gets the chance your son will be your breakfast," Dawn put forward.

"Spike, I'm coming. Listen to your damn elders," Darla said grabbing the sword.

Darla and Connor took Connor's stylish car, which Angel gave him back in LA while Spike took his bike. They reached the mansion after about ten minutes. The trio walked into the mansion and saw ten vampires waiting for them. Spike instantly charged and decapitated two vampires at once. He stabbed two more and knocked them to the ground. Connor and Darla rushed in and sliced their undead heads off. Connor drove the hilt of his ax in another vampire's heart. At the same time Spike, Darla, and Connor sliced the last three vampires' heads off. The three ran up to the next room and saw eight lichous demons. They were large demons that had giant eyes in the middle of their nostrils. They had giant horns and large slimy bodies.

"Go, I'll handle these guys," Darla said throwing her sword down.

"No chance," Connor said getting ready to charge.

Darla pulled out two pistols and shot an on coming demon. "I'll handle it!" She yelled.

"Let's go," Spike said running forward.

Darla grabbed her sword and threw it to Connor. Thew looked each other in the eyes and knew everything they wanted to say. Connor turned to the demons and ran. He cut two of them in half as he ran and ran into the next room with Spike. Spike had already killed a grothlar demon. Spike kept running until they reached a fork in the road.

"His scent goes both ways," Connor said sniffing the air.

"Angelus, you dick," he said sighing.

"Damn," Connor said punching the wall.

"I'll take left, you go right!" Spike yelled.

"Spike you just went right," Connor called after him.

"Ah… go left," Spike called back.

Connor went left and came face to face with himself. This new Connor looked a little more dangerous and like he had a lot of hate in his eyes.

"Hello Connor," it said spitefully.

"Hi, me," Connor said confusion in his voice.

"I'm not you. You're no better than Angelus. Holtz taught me how to cling to the good."

"Holtz," Connor whispered. "You're what I would be if Angel hadn't saved me."

"I'm what you should be!" The corrupted Connor yelled.

"Do you prefer Steven?" Connor asked.

"That IS my name. Connor! Why the hell did I take that for almost a year?"

Connor sighed as he looked into a maniac version of himself. Steven/Crazy Connor jumped back and slashed Connor with a dagger he was holding. Connor grabbed his chest and fell back. He threw his ax at Steven who caught it before it was within a foot of him. The two began to battle sword to ax.

Spike stepped forward. The smell of Angelus was getting stronger and stronger with each step. He stepped into a large room. Angelus was standing in the middle. He pushed a button on a remote control he was holding. The roof of the room opened and the doors slammed shut and a steel wall blocked them.

"Our final battle, Spike," Angelus said as his face vamped out.

"This should be a kick," Spike said as his face changed.
