The Greatest Vampire
Chapter 12: Another Old One.
"Angel told me about him," Connor said loading the clip into his gun.
"How much?" Dawn asked.
"He was half demon, he had visions from the powers that be, and he died to save Angel's life," he said raising the gun.
"And now (BANG) his son (BANG) is here?" Dawn asked. (BANG, BANG, BANG) "And would you stop shooting while I'm Fu- (BANG) talking!" She screamed.
"What? It's a shooting range!"
"It's hard to (BANG) TALK!"
"Get (BANG) over it," Connor replied.
"Hey look, a customer," Dawn said very annoyed.
She walked into the main room and went behind the counter. The witch sat down and opened a drawer. Inside were more primal weapons and her witchy stuff. She closed the drawer and opened the second drawer. Inside was the key to the safe and a box of potion vials. She grabbed the key and unlocked the lock, put in the dial code, and button code. Inside were daggers, better guns, prophecies, ancient scrolls, and books. She pulled out a book labeled, 'The Seals of the Hellmouth' and opened it.
"Bookworm?" Someone asked a little while later.
She looked up and saw Doyle and Spike. "Why aren't you on fire?" Dawn asked the vampire. Spike turned around. His trench coat was a little scorched. "Oh. Sorry."
"Connor?" Spike asked.
"In the back… (BAMN) shooting," she replied.
Spike grabbed Doyle by the collar and shoved him into the backroom. Dawn gave a laugh and went back to the book. She turned to the section labeled the origin of the Hellmouth.
"The original Hellmouth was created using the blood of the first slayer and the blood of the first demon. The two had battled for eight sunrises and sunsets and a victor could not be decided. Finally the first demon's spawn killed them both and used there blood to consecrate his kingdom," she read aloud. "This became a tradition for demons to mix the blood of the slayer they killed with the blood of another demon and consecrate there lands. Every area that was consecrated began to attract demons and the darkest evil. These lands would come to be known as the Hellmouths. As of the current date we believe there are seventeen Hellmouths around the world. Watcher's Council, records, 1873."
Dawn looked up. Since Sunnydale was destroyed that left them with sixteen to go. Dawn turned her attention back to the book. It went on to say that at the heart of every Hellmouth was a seal that opened a gateway to each demon's kingdom, which had been moved out of phase with reality. When Dawn was done she put the book back into the safe and locked it up. Spike, Connor, and Doyle came out a few minutes later.
"We're closing early today, pet," Spike said turning his attention to Dawn. "Doyle may have found we're looking for."
Dawn's jaw dropped. "The Seal?"
Doyle nodded. "Let's go," he said with a shrug.
Dawn jumped up and the four of them piled into Connor's car. They stopped at the house and picked up some supplies and then Doyle took the wheel and drove to…
"This is the Hellmouth?" Spike asked.
"This is it," Doyle replied.
"Why didn't Angel tell his mansion was evil?" Dawn asked as they looked up at the mansion Angelus had taken months ago. It was currently for sale, at 1.8 million dollars.
"Let's go blow this town," Doyle in a somewhat impatient voice as he walked in the front door.
Spike, Dawn, and Connor all followed the demon into the mansion and into the basement.
"My mother was brought back to life in the circle of Hell," Connor muttered.
"Looks, like. Now what do we do?" Spike asked.
"We dig up all of this dirt and blow up Cleveland," Doyle replied.
"What?" Connor asked.
"It's the only way to get rid of a Hellmouth, destroy the city," Dawn explained.
"I know that, but there are still residents around," Connor argued.
"Boy brings up a good point," Spike said to Connor.
"Once we activate the seal they'll clear out," Doyle said dropping his bag and to his knees.
"Activate it? Why?" Dawn demanded.
"In order to cross into the other dimension we have to activate the seal, go inside, and blow the hell out of this city," Doyle explained.
"Works for me," Connor said with a shrug.
The four of them began to dig around for a while before they noticed metal. They hurried to clear all the dirt and dust. Finally it was uncovered.
"Looks just like the Seal of Danzelthar," Dawn commented.
"Whatever," Doyle said pulling out a jar of blood.
"Not hungry," Spike replied.
"It's not for you, dimwit," Doyle growled.
The bracken demon opened the jar and began to pour the blood over the seal. "Hey wait!" Spike yelled. Too late. The last of the blood was on the seal and it was opening. "Was that human?" Spike demanded. Doyle smiled. The seal was open. He dropped down into the Hellmouth and was followed quickly by Spike. "Bloody hell," Spike moaned as he saw an army of paralyzed ubervamps.
"They'll rise, soon enough," Doyle commented. He extended his arm and opened a portal just as Dawn and Connor dropped down.
"Doyle, what are you doing?" Dawn demanded.
"Becoming a god!" He yelled. Doyle turned and ran for the portal he had just created. Spike ran towards the portal and jumped into it. Dawn and Connor were about to do the same but the portal closed.
Spike and Doyle were in a large empty room. They were standing on hot orange sand that they could feel through there boots. The walls were made of a dark orange clay. There was a large sarcophagus in the middle of the room. There were no doors or windows anywhere.
"What the hell are you doing, Doyle?"
"What your bitch friend, Ms. Burkle couldn't," Doyle replied.
"What Fred couldn't do?" Spike said thoughtfully. "Oh, Doyle no."
"Yeah. I'm gonna become an old one. Ain't it great?" He said walking up to the sarcophagus.
"No!" Spike yelled jumping at Doyle. The bracken demon jumped aside and smashed into the walls. Doyle took this time to run his hand down the sarcophagus. A small section opened and shot air into his face. Doyle inhaled deeply. "Damn it," Spike said standing up.
"We have a little time together, Spike. Let's make it memorable, before my god and I kill you," Doyle said as his face changed green and thorns shot out of his face.
"I guess I have to kill you quick," Spike said as his face vamped out. The two jumped at each other knocked each other out of the sky. Spike jumped back up and kicked an oncoming arrow aside. "Who are you, anyway?"
"The name's Tyliania, Demon King of Cleveland," he replied.
Spike decided not to make a comment and charged at Doyle. Doyle jumped to dodge and kicked Spike into the wall. Spike jumped back up and threw Doyle across the room and into the wall. Doyle grabbed a knife from his pocket and threw it at Spike. The vampire kicked it aside and jumped towards the bracken demon. Doyle kicked Spike while he was still in the air and threw him into the sarcophagus. Spike moaned as he felt Doyle grabbing him by the legs. Spike was thrown across the room again and into the wall. His body went into a seizure. A portal opened and Spike jumped through it and landed back in the Hellmouth.
"Spike, let's go!" Dawn yelled. Spike jumped back to his feet and looked around. The ubervamps were beginning to come out of there stasis. Spike, Dawn, and Connor ran for the seal and jumped out. The three ran from the mansion and into Connor's car. Connor floored it and rushed them back to the house. Things were already screwed up. The neighbors were going crazy and beating the crap out of each other. Dawn ran into the house and switched on the news. Ubervamps had already began to spread across the city and demonic activity had increased by 36.
"What are we going to do?" Dawn asked unable to take her eyes off the destruction the ubervamps were causing.
"We're going to Rome," Spike replied.
"We're going to need more than a few slayers for this," Connor commented.
Spike, Dawn, and Connor fought there way to the airport where they had a private jet waiting. Angel had pulled a few strings with people that thought he was still in charged of Wolfram and Hart. The ran in and Connor somehow managed to get it in the sky.
