Outside the Bronze, November 17th 1997
Cordy grabbed Xander's keys, and ran to her car. Once she was safely inside the vehicle, she pulled out her cell phone and called Buffy. "Hey, Buffy? We've got a problem, the Dork's been kidnapped..."
Elsewhere, after the movie was over, Oz and Willow ran into the Slayer named Kendra outside the Sun Cinema. Making small talk, the two robots offered to give Kendra a lift to wherever she wanted to go. After Kendra accepted the offer, the three of them got into Oz's van. Willow and Oz scanned Kendra with their robot eyes. The data subsequently appeared on Jareth's computer screen elsewhere at DELOS.
He grinned evilly. "So, the new Slayer has arrived in Sunnydale..."
Elsewhere, Dru dragged a struggling Xander inside the warehouse. Xander didn't like that at all. The vampires were eyeing him like a cat about to pounce on a canary...
"No one touches my kitten!" Drusilla growled at the minions. Instantly more concerned with survival than hunger, they all backed off.
Xander didn't like the odds here. No doubt he'd die if he tried to escape the warehouse. Maybe he could -
"You're safe with me, Kitten," Dru said to him, with what she thought was a cute smile. Even though to Xander, it was creepy as hell!
{ No way I can risk calling for help on my cell. } "Who are you? And what do ya want me with me?" he asked, trying to stall for time.
"I'm Drusilla, silly kitten! And we're here to have fun, o' course! Spike, I brought a guest!" the loony brunette called out.
Spike got up from the chair, and the look on his face was enough to practically freeze Xander's blood in his veins. "Good, now we can lure the Slayer to her death. You're lucky that I'm not going to kill you for what happened during Halloween, mate. Thank Dru for that." Spike blew smoke from his mouth, his lips twisted into a disgusted sneer.
Xander turned to see Dru smiling at him. Unable to think of what else to do, he thanked Drusilla politely. "Uh, yeah, well, gracias for that, I-I guess..."
"Come with me, kitten." The dark-haired vampiress hooked her arm around his, her smile growing wider.
{ Don't do anything to piss her off, } Xander thought to himself, as she led him away from the other vampires. { Even though you're scared to death, dude, DON'T get her angry with you! That way lies an early grave! }
Elsewhere, Oz, Willow and Kendra arrived at the high school in Oz's van. Buffy was already at the library, since Cordy had called her (and then Giles). Kendra met Giles and they shook hands.
"This is most extraordinary, I-I-I must say - two Slayers at once?" Giles said in consternation. "And, and you say your Watcher is, uh, is Sam Zabuto?"
"Dat is correct, sir," Kendra replied in her thick Jamaican accent. She then glanced at Buffy and then said, "And I don't understand - how is it me predecessor is still alive? I was taught dat dere was only one Chosen One at a time."
"Well, technically, I did die for about a minute," Buffy confessed uncomfortably, not wanting to think about that particular night. "I drowned, see -"
"Oh, wait, I remember this! The Doofus brought you back, after the hunk took him down to the sewers, right?" Cordy interrupted with a smile.
"Doofus? Hunk?" Kendra looked around in confusion.
"Yes, uh, never mind. We have a problem on our hands," Giles told them all, while wiping his glasses. "Earlier tonight, uh, Xander was taken by a vampire."
"What?!" Willow had a shocked look on her face.
"Yeah, Cordy was there, she saw it. So, what do we know about el vampira?" Buffy demanded, hoping Xander was alright.
"Brunette. British accent. And the way she dresses? Ugh! That *thing* musta been going for a the retro 19th century look, and failing miserably," Cordy replied. { I just hope Xander doesn't get killed or turned, } she thought privately to herself. "So what's the plan? Spread out and search the town?"
"I-I suppose so, yes. Buffy, we may need Angel's help for this," Giles said, as he put his glasses back on.
"Angel? You mean - Angelus? What madness is dis? You're gettin' *dat* vampire to help search for yer friend?" Kendra gave the gang an incredulous look.
"Angel isn't Angelus, okay? He's been a great help over the past year or so! And we gotta work as a team to save Xander!" Willow replied with fire in her eyes, as Buffy called Angel on her cell phone.
Back at the warehouse, Drusilla shoved Xander towards the bed. He stumbled a bit before he sat down on it, looking around the bedroom and seeing Dru's doll collection on a shelf on the wall. "Nice dolls you got there."
She laughed. "You're destined for great things, Kitten. The stars, they whisper their secrets to me - and the moon, and Miss Edith as well!"
"Yeah, well, tell my parents and teachers that, Drusilla." If he wanted to get though this alive, Xander figured he had to play along with this crazy vampire.
Time suddenly froze as the Big Bad himself, Jareth, appeared in the warehouse with the Orbs of Nezzla'khan in his black coat pockets. Jareth looked around the warehouse. "I like what they've done with the place..."
Chuckling, Jareth ignored the frozen Spike and assorted minions as he went to join Xander and Drusilla in the bedroom. "Well, well, well. Looks like Cordelia has some competition!" He chuckled again, evilly.
He took out the Orbs of Nezzla'khan from his coat pockets. The Orbs glowed and transferred their powers to Xander. His body briefly glowed purple with mystical power! As soon as the transfer was done, the Orbs of Nezzla'khan vanished from Jareth's hands. Somewhere in the Higher Realms, a number of plans collapsed into dust...
Jareth disappeared and time became unfrozen. Drusilla resumed chattering nonsense to her captive, while Spike grew more and more impatient outside the makeshift bedroom. "What's she doin' in there with that bloody berk?" William the Bloody complained to himself.
Elsewhere, Angel showed up at the school library and *reluctantly* filled in the Scooby Gang about Drusilla, and his history with her and Spike. Afterwards they geared up, starting to make a plan for saving Xander.
{ It won't be easy since we're dealing with both Spike and Drusilla, } Angel ruminated to himself. Indeed, it was worse than even he knew - because Dru had the Gem of Amara!
Back at the warehouse, Spike knew the minions weren't happy that they couldn't feed on the human prisoner Dru had brought home. That was why he told them to go eat elsewhere to their heart's content - not like he needed them here to fight against the Slayer, while Dru had the Gem. Then Spike came into the bedroom, grimacing at the sight of Droopy Boy.
"Your mates should be coming 'ere to save you soon, whelp. Dru, luv, hope you're peckish - I told the boys to bring us take out."
"Let me guess, it's not noodles and rice?" Xander gulped. "Well, good thing I'm not on the menu, huh?" He joked with a fake laugh. "We all know you need me alive to lure Buffy here, right?"
"Aww. I'm going to turn you, my little Kitten, and make you my black knight," Dru purred in his ear.
"No, please! Not a big fan of eternity, here!" Xander recoiled away from her at once.
"Yeah, sod that! Seriously, Dru, forget it!" Spike snarled. "This little git is good for a quick meal, but nothing else!"
{ Hey! } he thought automatically, but Xander managed to refrain from saying that out loud. Finding silence to be the best policy, he just hoped the Scooby gang arrived to rescue him soon.
Little did Xander know, he now had powers...
