The vamp's were held up in an abandoned building around the center of town, from what Hope had seen the previous night it looked like they had been there a few weeks now. The vampires were sat around on old pieces of furniture and boxes when suddenly the large blacked out window on the left side of the building came crashing through, Hope who had just dived through it landed on her feet glass falling around her. The vampires began to scramble in all directions to avoid the sun's ray's that where coming through the broken window.

"We tried the front door." Hope shrugged "But it was locked." she said her voice filled with sarcasm.

Buffy, Faith and Kennedy followed her in looking around each of them counting the vampires.

"Four each good enough for you Hope?" Faith asked

"Hell yeah." was all Hope said before stepping into the shadows.

As the slayers stepped out of the sun's rays the vampires began to spread out, and after a moment charged towards the slayers.

Faith set to work first, she had brought the scythe with her but didn't want to use it just yet, no vampires for two weeks she wanted a decent fight. Sending kicks and punches at each of them sending one of them into the sunlit area, he lay there for a few seconds before bursting into flames.

Kennedy took on four of her own, using a mixture of the moves Buffy and Faith taught her as well as a few of Hope's. Easily gaining the upper hand she ran up the wall and flipped over the vampire. After receiving a powerful kick he was pushed forwards and impaled on an exposed beam which dusted him. Before Kennedy could turn to face the others she was pinned against the wall by one of the vampires moving her hair he leaned in to bite her struggling against him she felt his fang's as they scraped her neck.

Hope was down to just three vampires now but still had her hands full, she was about to take one of them out when she saw Kennedy's neck about to get friendly with a vampire's fang's. Ignoring her vamps for the moment she pulled a stake from her belt and threw it at the vampire holding Kennedy. Hitting it's target the vampire turned to dust. Kennedy gave Hope a grateful nod before getting back to her vamp's.

One of the vampires saw that Hope was off guard and grabbed her from behind, struggling for a moment Hope flipped him over her shoulder so that he landed on his back in front of her. Grabbing him by the front of his shirt she lowered her other hand towards his chest, with a quick jolt of her arm a stake extended from up her sleeve and dusted the vampire.

Buffy was down to two vampires now. The first was dusted as he ran into Mr. Pointy, the second one she had sliced his head off with the scythe, as she turned to take on the remaining two the scythe was knocked from her hand's and slid across the floor.

Ducking to avoid a flying kick she grabbed a piece of the broken window frame from the floor and dusted the vampire, retrieving the scythe she turned to face her last vampire.

Finished with her vamp's, Buffy saw that Kennedy had two left.

"Kennedy!" she called as she threw the scythe towards her.

Catching the scythe mid air Kennedy dusted the vamp nearest to her. the remaining vampire ran at her, sweeping his feet from under him she sliced his head off before he could get back up.

Faith had finished off the rest of her vampires with the scythe and walked over to where Buffy and Kennedy were stood watching Hope who had two left. Staking one as he ran at her with a baseball bat. she reached for another stake but found her belt empty.

"Need a hand?" Buffy called out

"No thank s I'm good." Hope replied seeing the bat at her feet.

Curling her foot underneath it she lifted it into the air and caught it, the vampire smirked at her before rushing her.

"Batter up." Hope said before swinging the bat towards the vamp.

Hope hit the vampire so hard that he flew through the air and was impaled on the exposed beam, dropping the bat to the floor Hope walked over to join the others.

"That thing with the bat was tight." Faith told her.

"Yeah it was pretty cool." Hope admitted as she and Faith stepped out on to the street.

"How's your neck?" Buffy asked Kennedy

"It's fine." Kennedy replied as she and Buffy followed the others.

"Hey how d 'you feel about going to The Bronze tonight?" Faith asked as they walked down the street.

"Sounds like a plan, I'll call Xander when we get back." Buffy said

"What's The Bronze?" asked Hope.

The end.
