Chapter 3- The Battle Maybe over but The War Goes On- Part two to The Battle Begins

Previously on What Happens Next: The fighting begins and a dragon squishes a lot of demons and three slayers after being slaughtered by Angel.

Buffy cried out in ire. 'Their deaths will not go un-avenged!' The Slayer thought. In her mind, there wasn't much room for thinking, only fighting. The demons weren't very big thinkers but the ones who were thought they had the upper hand, and then their minds changed indefinitely as they were decapitated by slayers.

"Buffy! You're doing great, especially well for a slayer!" Angel shouted in astonishment. The blonde slayer became severely agitated with the ensouled vampire. What did he mean she was just a slayer? Buffy didn't show her annoyance as she blankly replied, "Less talking, more fighting."

Masses and masses of the demons kept coming, some of the girls didn't know if they could keep going even though they were imbued with slayer strength and their own strong instinct and determination.

Xander was helping alas Spike, who was getting beaten down very hard. Xander grabbed the shoulder of the attacking vampire and staked him. "Bloody vampires!I hate them!" Spike retorted.

While Buffy, Angel, Xander, Spike and the rest of the gang were fighting, Faith was busy protecting a tired Willow, and Dawn, an ex-key. Dawn was thinking that maybe she shouldn't have come after all.

Before the battle when they were in Rome, Giles said to Dawn to use Andrew as a human shield if she became in danger. Andrew was nowhere to be seen…

Andrew's POV

I have tried to not get killed by the demons, so far it is working. No way do I want to be a human shield for the slayer's little sister, what she is even doing in the battle I have no idea. Dawn isn't exactly being of use.

Instead of dying I have run away from the battlefield and I am back on my way to Mexico but first I need a get-away car, so right now I'm in a closed down ice-cream store. No-one has bothered to turn off the electrics. I think they skedaddled before they got skewered by demons and what-not. It isn't the only reason why I left the doomed apocalypse, they treated me like a hostage maybe because I was, but I liked to think of myself as a 'guestage'.

None of it matters anymore, no more demons, no more magic and best of all, no more Slayer. I don't wish her dead; I just want to be left alone and all this nonsense put onto someone else. In a little way I'm still getting over the deaths of my two best friends, Jonathan and Warren.

I will feel especially guilty for Jonathan because I indeed murdered him. I still remember that look on his face, a look of eternal disappointment, the look that someone displays when they are betrayed.

Then there is Warren, flayed alive by the red-headed witch, Willow. She was the one who discovered me buying a mass amount of blood from the butcher's shop. She initially was the one who made me the hostage. However, like I said, none of it matters. At the moment I am thinking of what I'm going to do while eating a big tub of mint choc-chip.

I suddenly saw a flash of a shadow; I bet it is just a trick of light I told myself. I turned around and saw it again. It wasn't a shadow, it wasn't a vampire, it was worse. I ran into the main supply closet, very quietly I pulled a string to turn on the plain light-bulb.

There was a lump on the floor, covered by a grey blanket. Curiosity got the best of me. I lifted up the blanket and was shocked to see what was under it. I wish I never entered the shop in the first place. Under the grey blanket were the remains of loads of people. I thought I was going to barf at the sight of the carnage.

I couldn't hear any movement outside the door. Curiosity yet again took me under as I pulled down the door-handle and pushed the door open. Oops. Curiosity just killed the cat.

Normal POV

Faith had just staked a vampire when she heard the most blood-curdling scream she had ever heard, and she had killed people before and they gave quite a scream of pain.

She had no time to find out what or who it was; a big demon with horns was just about to go for Willow, when it turned to fire. "Huh?" Faith didn't understand until she turned to Willow. "Red, was that you?" Willow nodded her head.

Dawn was given an axe by Kennedy; she had just put it into a demons throat when she saw a flying head. It landed smack down at her feet. It was like a crushed watermelon but without the green and it was smaller. Dawn gasped as she investigated further and looked at the disemboweled face. It was Andrew. He was definitely dead. Willow saw Dawn's distress.

"Dawny, don't look at him!" Willow shielded Dawn's eyes. The Ex-key would never be able to get rid of the sight of what she saw. The slayer's sister looked into Willow's eyes. They were white. "No more war, I've got to end it. I won't go evil but be careful anyway." The now white-haired witch spoke with a certitude undertone that they would yet again win.

"Let evil be quelled at this battlefield,

Let us be safe at this place,

Let the good conquer the evil,

This place no longer belongs to the devil,

I command the demons to be subjugated,

With the power of the gods and the goddesses I command the demons gone!"

White light emanated from her hands as she rose to the sky. The evil demons froze. Angel was just shocked about what was going on as he spoke, "What the hell is happening to Willow?" Illyria was standing by him.

"Maybe the Powers That Be have stepped in?" The Blue one pondered the possibilities.

Buffy ran up to her little sister. "Buffy, Andrew is dead." That was all Dawn could say. The blonde slayer pulled a look of nausea.

"Oh. My. God!" She pulled herself together; she had to be strong for Dawn. Willow fell from the sky, she was un-conscious. As she fell, more and more demons were wiped out.

She ultimately hit Buffy as she held Dawn. Suddenly, things went very blurry for Buffy then it went very, very dark.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

To my readers- I couldn't stand Andrew, I had to kill him off (Ormonkey is sad because Andrew went bye-bye in a very gruesome manner. He isn't important to the story anyway. Because I've got flu I've had time to write this.

Dogboy: It would get boring very quickly if I just put, 'Buffy this, Buffy that, Buffy, Buffy, Buffy." I love the show so I don't really mind hearing Buffy over and over again. Neither does Nevy, my invisible dog that gives me ideas along with my invisible pet monkey, Ormonkey!

Mr. Whiskers: I'm glad you are liking the story and hopefully this chapter will please you, as I have made it much longer.
