Chapter 3: The Dark Angel
A Hybrid Slayer? Buffy Summers thought, What the fuck? I thought all Slayers were female, and he obviously isn't.
Razen stood before her, in all his power and glory, an eerie type of glory, yet powerful and manipulative at the same time. Razen was surrounded by and aura of blue haze. Two black wings erupted out of his shoulder blades and he was ready to take flight.
"Oh my God." Buffy said horrified, stepping back in a mixture of fear and awe.
"Buffy." Razen stared at her with those powerful green eyes. "You best to hurry up if you wanna see Angel… and Spike." He said.
"Spike's alive?' Buffy's eyes began to water. "How?"
"Yeah, I guess you could say the Creator had mercy on him and he came to Rome looking for you, but he found you with the Immortal at the club so he went back to LA." Razen said.
"Fuck." Buffy said. Spike had come to see her but she had been too busy with the Immortal to even sense his presence, which was odd. After all that they had been through, all the rough sex in the crypt, his apparent love for her, even she had despised his very being for a while.
"You always hurt those you love." He had once said. She remembered his soft caresses on her face, the way he moaned as he made love to her. She could literally smell him now, and fell all of him in her. She could feel the soft kisses to her breasts, his teeth grazing across her nipples, the way her body felt every time he made her come, that was something none of her previous lovers could do to her. She remembered how she had told she loved him in the end, as they held hands, and he had not believed her before turning into ash for the cause of destroying the First. She smiled in ecstasy, tears running down her eyes, completely oblivious to the rest of the world, including Razen.
"Focus Buffy." Razen said sharply, bring her out of her dreamlike state. Buffy stopped thinking of Spike for a second, even though it was hard. Thinking of him was too painful right now, cause all she wanted was for him to be here for her, to comfort like he did on that one night, in a stranger's house. Razen's words stirred memories in her
That made her blush from head totoe. After all this was the same Spike that had gotten Warren to make a BuffyBot to he could fuck it since he believed he'd never get that close to the real thing.
Buffy fell against Razen's shoulder, leaning on him as she cried. This last year without Spike had been so hard, and with everything going on, he wasn't there when she needed him the most. Willow saw the pain that her friend was going through and began to cry too. Kennedy hugged her close, she and everybody else realized how close they needed to be for the most apocalyptic fight in the existence of the world. Not that there won't be anymore apocalyptic fights, but this one could destroy the very existence of earth. And the very person who could save or destroy it stood before them. Razen was the power source that the First was looking for. He could save the World that they came to know and love, or if he chose he could destroy it along with everybody else with it. And Buffy was crying on him. Razen's facial expression didn't change, his eyes stared forward with an icy look to them.
"Buffy, I'll take care of this little fight in LA. You go help Faith and Wood with the First." Razen said.
"No." Buffy argued.
"Catch you in a couple." Razen said, creating a teleport. Buffy stared at him, but he took flight at the speed of light.
"Fuck." Buffy cursed.
"We still missing Dawn and Xander." Willow pointed out.
"Summon them." Buffy commanded. Willow nodded and began summoning Xander and Dawn to them. A couple of seconds later, Buffy saw her sister magickally appear before her. Xander appeared in Willow's arms.
"What the fuck?" Xander said.
"Hey baby." Willow winked at him.
Xander got of her and asked her, "What's going on?"
"Just hop in the portal." Willow ordered. "Huh." Xander said, and Willow kicked him in the portal when he hesitated.
"Where are we going?" Dawn asked Buffy.
"Just jump in." Buffy said, "But…" Buffy grabbed a squirming Dawn and hopped into the portal. She felt a sick sensation in her stomach, but shrugged it off as it was only momentarily. She fell out of the portal and realized she was in Cleveland. How could she tell? She could hear Faith yelling right next to the Hellmouth. How subtle.
Gotta help Faith with the First, talk to Spike later, Buffy thought.
Los Angeles
Angel got knocked back by the dragon's tail. He flew backwards into a group of demon who began to viciously attack him. "Bugger that. If anyone's dusting Angel, it'll be me." Spike yelled, charging at the demons. Their eyes opened wide in surprise as Spike began unleashing on them. Spike grabbed the first one he saw and rammed his fingers through it chest. He slammed his knee into it's rock hard stomach and as the demon bent over he cradled its head under his armpit. The demon squirmed a bit, until Spike broke its neck. He hurled the demon at its buddies and Spike charged at them. Spike swung at a uliries demon, catching him in the jaw, and knocking out its teeth. The force of the blow was so hard it peeled back the skin on his jaw, exposing the raw gums.
The demon screamed in agony, but Spike punched it on the forehead, caving in its eyes into the back of its skull. Angel's eyes were wide in surprise, but the dragon unleashed a huge fireball that was two seconds from killing them.
Gunn looked up at Illyria who was standing over him trying to heal his wounds.
"You're kinda hot Illyria, but not as cute as Fred." Gunn said, and he breathed his last. Illyria laid his dead body down and cried. She had seen enough people she cared about die. How do humans deal with all the pain? She asked herself.
Just as the fireball was about to obliterate Spike and Angel, an angelic figure appeared over them, black wings unfurled. The fireball came down on him and dissipated and left no mark on his body. The Dark Angel was unfazed. His wings stretched out to full wingspan as he took flight after the dragon and unleashed a vicious kick to its jaw that sent it crashing into a building sending shockwaves all through LA, putting the Richter scale at 9.5.
Illyria looked up at Angel and asked, "Who the fuck is he?" Angel shrugged. Then the Dark Angel flew over to the dragon and place his hand on its scaly throat. Suddenly he powered up. All his true might was revealed in that second. Electricity crackled around him. The dragon looked into his eyes, looking for mercy, and finding none. A huge ray of light formed in his hand and he unleashed into the dragon's throat, blowing of it's head. The supernatural being pulled a huge sword out of his scabbard and chased after everyone else left. He sliced a demon in half, ducked the blow of another demon and blew that demon apart with raw energy. They tired to gang up o him, but it was useless. There were about 20,000 of them and only one of him. He threw his sword at them, slick demons left and right and he charged at them. Wave of energy sparked up and crackled off him. He grabbed his sword and impaled six Turok Han on it. Spike, Angel, and Illyria charged into the battle as well.
"Back up." He yelled at them.
"This is our fight, you fucking ponce." Spike yelled. Spike stabbed a Turok Han through its heart with a stake, dusting it instantly. Suddenly the Dark Angel's power blew them back. Spike's and Angel's skin began to burn away.
"Stay away." He said, not even looking over at Illyria. She rushed over to the wounded vampires.
"You could of warned us you little fucker." Spike yelled.
The Angel yawned, "Fuck this already." The Dark Angel stuck his hand out and a huge orb of energy, bout two miles in diameter covered everything. With his other hand he shielded Spike, Angel, and Illyria. He unleashed the massive blast, destroying that entire section of LA. All the demons disintegrated turning into nothingness.
"Hey, you could of killed a lot of innocent people." Angle bitched, his body tensing up just incase there was a fight.
"Be easy. If the world is ending and you still in yo fucking room, you seriously got a problem. Half of the people running away is crippled. So chill." The wings shrunk and disappeared.
"What are you?" Spike asked.
"I'm Razen. No need to talk about that , Buffy's waiting for you Spike."
Spike smiled,and Angel scowled. Suddenly Razen smelled the demon in Fred's body called Illyria.
"Illyria!" He barked, wings unfurled again.
" Yes.Why?" Illyria replied.
"You were the one who killed my family you miserable shit." Razen said.
"No , you got me confused." Illyria complained. She didn' want to believe that she had ruined someone else's life.
"I can smell your blood you ancient demon." Razen said. "I've been looking for you thousands of years ago." Razen said.
"No one's killing here." Spike said.
Razen's eyes sparkled a real evil green, "We'll see about that," He said, pulling ou his huge sword.
