Chapter 5:
Piper, Pheobe and Buffy's patrol: On their patrol so far they have crossed through 4 cemeteries and one demon bar and all they have found out is that this Camazotz has come to Sunnydale through a boat.
They were now heading back to the magic box with this scrap of information because it was nearly dawn.

As they were rounding the corned of the magic box, exhausted, one vamp came out of the bushes and hissed "Slayer" and ran at them.

Why is there only one vampire? Wouldn't they send more if the other bunch that attacked me last night failed? Buffy thought to her self as she blocked his punches and kicks and retaliated.

This was definitely one of Camazotz's followers, he was just to quick and his eyes were strangely… feral.

"Buffy, move, I can blow him up." Piper said raising her hands.

"NO! He can tell us were Camazotz is." Pheobe and Piper stood back as they watched in awe at how quick the slayer moved and blocked the vampires attacks.

Once he was pinned to the floor with Buffy's stake pressed over his heart, Buffy said. "Now, I can either kill you very slowly, or you can tell us everything you know."

"Now, where is Camazotz hiding?" Buffy asked.

When the vampire didn't answer she pressed the stake down even harder. "Where?" She repeated louder.

"We got here by boat at the docks, that's where we stay." He snarled.

"Now, if you don't answer this correctly, it will cost you your life. What does he want with me?" Buffy said all the while pressing the stake down harder.

"He wants-" The vampire started replying but was cut of by about half a dozen vampires running out of all the bushes to surround them.

As Buffy looked up to see what was happening the vampire took advantage of the diversion to knock the stake out her hand, head but her making Buffy lose her balance and release her hold on the vamp as he quickly got up and joined with his other vamp friends surrounding the Slayer and the two witches.

Buffy then quickly rose to her feet and crouched down to a fighting position while trying to keep all the vamps where she could see them as Pheobe did the same and Piper raised her hands ready to blow any vamps up.

"Now it's a party." Buffy said to herself as she withdrew a stake and the vamps all rushed in at them at once to attack.

She ducked under a powerful blow a vamp aimed at her head and, while crouching, quickly stuck the stake into his heart and then sent a spinning kick to a vamp trying to attack her from behind.

-----
Wow, these vampires are strong, and wicked fast. Pheobe thought to herself as she tried to deliver a left kick into one vamps chest as he quickly dodged and delivered a powerful blow to her jaw.
As she staggered back, he kicked her, hard, in the chest as she went flying back into the side of a rubbish bin and it clattered onto the pavement spilling its contents onto the road.

As she tried to stand the vamp came over to her, ready to strike but them suddenly exploded, and saw Piper behind him with her hands raised. She bent down to give Pheobe a hand and helped her to her feet.

She them saw a vampire approach behind her sister and yelled "Piper, look out!"

But the vamp was to quick and grabbed out with one hand around her throat, as Piper struggled to loosen his grip on her throat.

As Pheobe levitated and tried to kick him in the head, he grabbed her leg and threw her across the pavement and she soared back into the wall. As she rose she was met by another vamp grinning at her while he prevented her from helping her sister, she watched helplessly as Piper struggled against the vampires unbreakable grip.

-----
Oh no, I'm gonna die, I'm gonna die. Piper thought to her self helplessly as she started seeing black spots dance before her eyes. Just as she was about to slip into unconsciousness, the vampire disintegrated into dust and she collapsed onto the floor breathing in huge gasps of air.

As she glanced up she saw Buffy standing over her offering her hand to help Piper to her feet and she thankfully took it and raised her self so she was standing and started blowing vamps up.
-----
Once Buffy saw that Piper was alright, she quickly spun around to dust more vamps.

Once they had dusted 5 vamps, Buffy quickly grabbed the last one and quickly put a stake aimed at his chest and told him not to move or he'd be dust and got Pheobe and Piper to restrain his arms as she led him back into the Magic Box to be questioned about Camazotz.

"Uhh, Buffy, why are you taking him into the magic shop?" Pheobe asked uncertainly.

"So we can question him, and we're taking him into the shop so we don't have any more surprise visits from his other vamp buddies." She said while entering the Magic Shop with the vamp snarling at her.

Once they entered everyone stood up and looked at her puzzled.

"Heya Buff, uhh, what's the vamp doin here? I thought this was a private party." Xander joked.

"He's here because we're gonna question him. Xander, can you go get some rope?" Buffy said while all the while keeping her eye on the vampire incase he tried to get away.

"Sure." He replied and went into the back room for rope.

While Xander was in the back room, Buffy lead the vamp over to the chair and sat him in it and when she got the rope, tied him to the chair so he couldn't move his arms or legs.

When she had finished updating Giles on the scrap of information they had gathered and about their little encounter with the vamps outside, she then got down to questioning the vamp they had tied up.

"Now, your gonna answer all our questions or your dust, got it?" Buffy said.

The vamp then snarled "Why should I answer your question, I'm dust any way."
"Because I can kill you very slowly you'll be begging you talked." Buffy retaliated.

The vampire than snarled at her.

"Good, so wha-" Buffy started questioning but then the bell at the top of the door rang and every one looked to see who had come in and they saw Spike and Paige walk in.

"Hi all." Paige said as she went over to stand with her sisters and Spike walked over and saw the vamp tied to the chair and raised his eye brows in a questioning look at the Slayer.

Once they had explained they were about to start questioning the vampire and Spike had told them what he had gotten out of Willy they went back over to the vampire and Buffy asked "What does Camazotz want with me? Does he just want to kill me or what?"

When he didn't answer, Buffy turned to Giles and said "Giles, can you go get me a bottle of Holy Water?" She asked innocently.

When the vampire heard this, he instantly started talking.
"He said he wants you captured, but if we can't capture you, then he said that we should just kill you."

Every one in the room, except the vampire, looked at each other puzzled.

"Why would he want to capture me?" Buffy asked puzzled.

The vampire then answered reluctantly "Because, you stupid Slayer, then we don't have to worry about any Slayer's getting in our way if your captured and alive, no other Slayer will rise to take your place and this town will be ruled by demons, and there'll be nothing you can do about it."

Every one stared at the vampire in utter disbelief when suddenly, dozens of vampires came crashing through the windows and doors from the back and front of the shop.
