Part 12
The Jovis. Deep Space Nine.
As the freighter docked at the station, I looked over at Ahsoka who while still orange she wasn't the right shade of that colour. We'd just been in Mass Effect universe, trying to save some more people from the more remote colonies after our successful mission to Horizon, when she started looking ill and our long-range sensors began to register some rather strange readings.
I'd figured that the Crucible had fired by universe's version of Shepard and that the nature of the Mass Effect galaxy was about to radical change in one three ways, that or everyone had been dying because something had gone horribly wrong. The ill-looking Ahsoka had reminded of how Obi-Wan reacted when the Death Star blew up the peaceful world of Alderaan, only much worse.
No matter what had happened we wouldn't be going back to that universe ever if I had any say in the matter, and I did because I controlled the portals. In fact, I didn't intend for us to return to this station any time soon if it could be avoided, and we wouldn't be here now if not for the last remaining refugees as well as the need of my ship's crew for some shore leave. Sure The Jovis had a holodeck, but that didn't remove people's need to get off a ship so as to stretch their legs.
Plus the Quarian sisters had an important appointment with Doctor Bashir, the stations CMO, who'd promised to devote some time and effort to find ways to boost their immune systems, he should have something to offer by since he'd done so many tests and consulted with doctors within the Federation. It would be good for the sisters if they could spend time out of their suits.
Aside from all that, the ship needed some work doing on it, proper upgrades, such as some real weapons and better shields, and while the Federation types wouldn't install such equipment I was willing to bet that a certain bartender knew the kind of people who would do that sort of thing if I paid well enough, so all I'd have to do is have the ship flown to some other port and have the work done there while I used other means to travel around.
"You need a drink," I said to Ahsoka "let's head to the bar and I'll buy you something chemical offensive".
Despite her Jedi upbringing she decided to take me up on the offer.

Streets. LA.
Since I'd cleared out most of the nests over in Sunnydale, and with that government group operating in town it wasn't wise to go slaying in town, as such I'd moved most of demon hunting operations to LA. The Watchers were fine with this so from Friday afternoon till Sunday evening Buffy and I went out to hunt monsters in the City of Angels before returning to the Hellmouth of College classes and to report in.
Since we had a lot of back-up these days, including a former Jedi whose lightsabers cut through vampires like a hot knife through butter, it didn't take long for us to clear out a nest of vamps. However, we had to downplay our successes for the Watchers, to make it seem as if we'd only attacked a couple of nests and taken out a handful of vampires when in fact we'd cleared two of them just tonight.
Tracking vampires wasn't easy in such a crowded city, and that was partly why the vampires came here, and we couldn't make use of the sensors I'd had set up in Sunnydale, or at least the ones I remembered using, because LA was simply too crowded. So I'd come with another idea, and that was to keep a droid controlled Outrider above this city and use its improved sensors as well as its upgraded computers to track human-sized creatures that didn't have life signs. The lack of any life signs meant that the senors had some trouble keeping track of the vampires, they didn't radiate body heat either, but it worked well enough to find nests.
The Jovis would have a much easier time doing such a thing as it was all Trek tech, but that vessel was undergoing an expensive refit in a system outside of Federation space. I had my asari commandos and quarian engineers (who would need to return to Deep Space Nine in a few weeks for a treatment meant to boost their immune system) keeping a watch over the freighter and once it was finished I'd bring The Jovis to this universe so that I could have its systems helping me deal with vampires as well as other threats.
Star Trek transporters could beam targets into space easily enough, even if that would use a lot of power, and while using stealth it should be possible for myself and members of my group to tag the buildings containing vampire nests and then just beam all the undead in those locations into space without bothering to recombine their atoms or to somewhere sunny, like a big desert. We could even loot the nests afterwards if we so wished.
I'd been watching the group down below patrol their neighbourhood for a while now and I wasn't impressed by what I saw. They had no crosses, and only stakes to fight with. Sure the truck was a nice touch, but they could use stuff like water guns filled with holy water, more crossbows and maybe even flames throwers.
No what this gang really needed some help. Lucky for them I'd come to this city to give them some aid. I couldn't operate in this city too openly, hence the need to use The Jovis in the future, because of Wolfram and Hart, but that didn't stop me from supporting those who did try to defend this part of the world from the forces of darkness. I'd just have to be careful about it.
"Stay here and keep an eye out for trouble," I told Arya, who was once more watching my back.
When I dropped down in the street below, intending to make some introductions, I heard sounds of a fight going on around the corner. I silently moved and then peeked around the corner, spotting a pair of kids I'd seen earlier who were now fighting a vampire. Badly as it turned out, it was kicking their arses. These two really shouldn't have separated from the rest of the group. There was safety in numbers.
One of them was tossed onto a dumpster while the second kid rushed the bloodsucker from behind only to be backhanded hard enough to knock him off his feet. Soon the vampire began to slowly make its way towards the kid who hit the dumpster. I decided to step in at this point.
Flicking my wrist at the demon that was wearing the form of a dead man the fireball I'd just created very quickly made its way across the distance between myself and the dead person, turning it into dust in an instance. When you had my kind of power the blood drinkers didn't equal much of a threat. Sure I was no Master Wizard or powerful Wicca, but I could manage a fireball easily enough.
I then watched the two streets kids slowly get back onto their feet, and they were wisely keeping their distance. They didn't know me and they'd just seen me do something that shouldn't be possible.
"What are you? some kind of monster?" one of them asked.
As he spoke he pulled a new stake from his pocket. At least these guys had the sense to carry back up weapons.
"A warlock, among other things" I answered "and you guys hunt vampires. Not very well, but I have to admire your spirit".
They didn't relax their guard. Which again was wise. I must look very odd to them what with dragonhide duster and the sunglasses I was wearing at night, they were actually serving as night vision goggles of sorts thanks to some clever enchantment work by Lenore my Pokegirl Enchantress.
"What are your names?" I asked.
The lead kid frowned, but he did answer me before long.
"I'm Gunn, this is Derek," he told me after seeming to think it over.
Yes, he looked like the actor who played the character on the show, only he had hair, a lot of it actually must be an afro style of some kind. Alternate universes always had a few little differences like that.
"So why are you out here fighting vampires?" I asked.
I did know, but I wasn't supposed to know, hence asking the question.
"We need to protect our turf," Gunn said, "This is our neighbourhood no bloodsucker gonna be moving in here".
I had to smile upon hearing this. At least they had some courage as a warrior I could admire that.
"Well you're fighting them wrong," I said, "I can help you with that".
"Got any tips?" Gunn asked while putting his stake back in his pocket.
I leaned against the wall and wondered how to answer that question without being too insulting.
"Get some crosses and holy water" I advised, "Vamps find it hard to hurt people when they get hit in the face holy water, the effect doesn't last long, but it will blind them for a little while. Cross can hold them back and they do weaken vampires".
Gunn nodded
"We got crosses." and pulled his own necklace out.
Well, that was a start.
"Carve them into your weapons. It won't kill them unless it's wood through the heart or decapitation, but they won't be able to use them against you. Also when it comes to close combat, try to avoid it when possible. Get yourself some crossbows. And no, silver bullets won't work, but fire will just be careful if you make yourself some flame throwers"
Gunn listened to me. Hopefully, he'd take my advice to heart, and if he did his sister might live longer, as would some of his friends.
"When it comes to monsters decapitation works on 99% of the things out there," I said while taking out a small bag from the inside of long black coat "Here's some cash to help fund your operation and you'll find contact details inside".
Maybe this would keep a few more of them alive. If nothing else their short lives would be more pleasant if they had some funding.
"If you need weapons, more money or anything like that then call and let me know" I instructed, "I can have supplies dropped off".
With that, I started walking away intending to teleport back up to the roof that Arya was watching from. Disappearing into the night would look cool.
"Why you helping?" asked Gunn's friend.
I turned to face them.
"You're not the only ones who fight vampires," I said, "Some of us have a vested interest in keeping humans at the top of the food chain".
With that, I walked away while wondering if Gunn's pride would ever allow him to call me. At least he hadn't refused the money. As for why I'd come here, it wasn't totally because I wanted to help. Gunn was part of Jasmine's plans so it would be a good idea for me to keep tabs on him even if there was no Angel around. Jasmine might find another way to have herself born into this world using a different time table so I needed to be careful.

Doyle's Apartment. LA.
"The last time you called me it was because I needed to go protect a woman was being harassed by a stalker, a surgeon who can detach and control his body parts at will," I said to Doyle as he led me into a shabby apartment "So what is it this time?".
I could recall some of what Angel had to deal with in season 1 and the Powers That Be could have other tasks for me no seen in the show. I didn't mind doing them the odd favour as they didn't send Doyle the visions very often and even when they did I knew how to handle the problem easily enough. As for that surgeon, I had simply thrown into a rather nasty dimension rather than let him torment some poor woman until he killed her and then repeated himself with another woman until either he died or someone found a way to seal him away.
As for Doyle was trying to hide out from demon bounty hunters who were looking for him after he overspent on a personal loan from a demon gangster, and he'd decided the best place to do that was his crummy apartment, that had dirty clothes on every surface and a few plates that needed washing up.
"I can pay off your debts," I told the demi-human "and start paying you for the information you provide".
Those words surprised him.
"Pay?" he asked.
I could afford it.
"You provide me with a service," I said "and should be paid well for it. I need you to stay alive so we'll have to look into some protection".
Possible a nice house in a better part of the city hidden with certain magics, but not with him as the Secret Keeper, not given how drunk he could get, and then he could at least hide out somewhere safe if people came looking for him.
"A thousand dollars a week strike you?" I wondered "I'll pay off your debts and move you into a safe house. In exchange to telling what happens in your visions, you'll act as an informer for me if I need information from the kind of people you like to hang out with.
Doyle had a little too much pride to simply accept my offer, but that wasn't his main concern.
"I know these guys if you just pay them off they'll try to squeeze you for more," he said.
Some demonic gangsters didn't concern me much. They couldn't target me directly and I had a lot more firepower than them. I could even level this city from orbit if I so wished.
"Tell me about them?" I said.
According to Doyle the main threat to his life came from Griff who was a Kailiff demon and a feared hitman known for working with Keith and Vic, who were also Kailiff demons, and they served a loan shark. A demonic shark creature who offered high-interest loans.
"Does this shark work for anyone?" I asked.
Doyle didn't know, so I'd have to get the information from the shark directly. If this was a small organisation I could just take it out, but if the shark had a boss then killing the shark and his minions wouldn't solve the problem as while Doyle wouldn't be blamed for the deaths, there would be nothing to tie him to them, whoever took over the shark would start threatening the half-human. If the shark didn't have a boss then Doyle would be safe until he got into trouble with someone else, but I needed him alive and I would just have to convince him to keep safe.
"Stay here" I ordered as I headed out the door "I'll deal with the shark now and get you set up somewhere in a few days".
I had plans to take a couple of the members of my harem off to another world for a quick adventure so Doyle would just have to stay his current dump for a little while longer, but the shark creature needed to be dealt with first.

Forbidden Forest. Alternate Hogwarts.
Since I'd come here on a whim after killing a literal loan shark and his demon minions, an activity that took mere seconds once I'd found them, I'd not had time to organise a group of people to come with me I'd just invited Arya and Ahsoka along as I'd found them sparring in the lobby of the hotel. It was a good thing that I wasn't alone as while I had potent magical defences in the form of enchanted clothes as well as items that granted me both super strength and invulnerability, thanks to a pair certain orbs that had been disenchanted before the magic was copied into other items, I didn't know the limits of the items so it was best to still be careful.
"The dark side is stronger than it should be in this place," the former Jedi warned us.
I explained to her that this was due to the dark magical creatures that called this place home.
"And so they built a school next to an evil place," Arya said, "That seems dumb".
"No the school was here first," I told her "These woods are like a wildlife preserve for magical creatures, but that would have been set up after the magical humans started living here".
Ahsoka looked confused.
"And it turned dark," she said "Why".
I had no idea, and so I changed the subject as to why we were here.
"So this stone raises the dead" Ahsoka asked.
I'd just told her about the Resurrection Stone which is one of the fabled Deathly Hallows. In "The Tale of the Three Brothers", it was the second Hallow created, supposedly by Death himself. It was bestowed upon Cadmus Peverell after he requested, as his bounty, something with the power to recall loved ones from Death. According to legend, whoever reunited it with the other two Hallows (the Elder Wand and the Cloak of Invisibility) would become the Master of Death.
It was one of the two Hallows known to have been successfully passed down from generation to generation since Cadmus' time. In 1943 it passed to the possession of Tom Riddle who unknowingly stole it while it was still concealed in Marvolo Gaunt's Ring, which he turned into a Horcrux. The ring was destroyed in 1996 by Albus Dumbledore, but the stone was placed in Harry Potter's first Golden Snitch until it passed into the possession of Harry Potter.
He used it to summon up the presences of his loved ones and they were enough to give him the courage he needed to walk to his death, and they remained with him until he made his way to where Voldemort was. At this point, Harry Potter discarded the Stone, with the intention that it would be lost in the forest forever.
"I've often wondered if the stone is actually an evil artefact meant to drive people to kill themselves," I said to the two girls "If it is then I'm sure you'll sense danger from it, Ahsoka".
Using the Item Finder I tracked down the stone.
"I don't sense danger," said the Force-User when we found the magic stone "But I don't think the spirits of the dead should be bothered. Why would you even want something like this?".
There were many uses for such an item.
"Well, I won't summon the spirit of anyone we know as that might mess us up and if it can only summon the spirits of loved ones then I won't use it" I answered, "But we could say summon up the spirits of famous pirates to see if they left any treasure buried somewhere remote, or maybe I'll just keep in my vault at Gringotts in Harriet's dimension, or better yet somewhere in the hotel".
I'd aimed for the cannon universe this time and it seemed to have worked as such I didn't have a Gringotts account here.
"At least if I have it then no idiot who comes across it while in these woods will end up killing themselves" I was now saying "Stuff like this always ends up getting found by some fool".
I had no idea what this version of Harry Potter had been thinking. Lost magical objects have a habit of turning up at the wrong time.
"If that machine of yours can find stones then I have an idea that might be fun," said Arya.
I turned to look at her as she explained a fun idea she had in mind.
"Give me that stone and drop me off at the hotel" requested Ahsoka who didn't wish to come with us any further "I can resist the temptation to use it and if you must use it then I'll be with you in case it tries to make you kill yourself".
That sounded like a good idea to me. I would need to take a break after opening another portal, but we weren't in any rush.

The Trident. Westeros.
There was a whole story about Prince Rhaegar's Rubys at the trident. When the usurper Robert Bathathron killed the prince he shattered the man's armour chest plate which supposedly had rubies adorning it, and those fallen rubies were supposed to have turned the waters of the Trident to a red colour. Far more likely it was the blood from all the dead people that had done that, or not at all since that would take a lot of blood and the ground would have soaked up most of it unless they'd actually fought in the rivers.
Arya actually believed in this story and had proposed a game. Every ruby I found, assuming there were any, I could use to buy a sexual favour from her, not that I needed to pay her and I would have happily given her the rubies since I had more than enough wealth. Besides she'd have sex with me if we both in the mood and that was often enough. So I guessed this would just be a way to spice things up.
"Oh there are really rubies here," I said while looking at the Item Finder "I typed in Prince Rhaegar's Rubies and it can lead me to them".
Now I knew just how I was going to spend this fine morning, or well it was morning here, it had been night back at the hotel and in the Dark Forest. This felt a little strange, but it did make it easier to find the rubies which I had to rummage around for. I was really surprised that no one had looted them after the battle. But they were rather small and could have easily gotten lost in the grass.
"Here you go," I said to Arya, handing over a ruby.
She inspected it.
"It's smaller than I hoped," she said, "But it is very red, I wonder if its blood that makes them this colour".
Arya was a clever girl but she didn't have my level of education. Or at least not in the same subjects as me. She had been trained to cut off people's faces after murdering them. Somehow I kept forgetting about that, it might have something to with the sex and the fact that I'd killed humans to avenge people. A certain physics professor came to mind.
"Rather than paint or blood, it's the presence of chromium that makes them red," I told her.
Of course, she had no idea what chromium was.
"All I know about is that it can use it to make a kind of steel," I said "But enough of boring science, how about you use those pretty noble lips of yours to suck my cock? Then we can look more of the rubies afterwards".
She looked around.
"Out here?" she asked.
I smiled at her.
"You wanted me to pay you like a whore so I'll treat you like one," I told her as I leaned against a tree "and rubies are worth a lot".
Arya smirked at me and got down to her knees in front of me.
"As you wish, my lord," she said in a teasing tone of voice.
After freeing my cock she opened her small mouth wide, she showed no interest in getting my cock wet and slippery with her tongue and instead decided to try and devour the entire thing, doing so should have made her gag, but she just used her mouth to pleasure me.
"Mmph," Arya said to me.
She kept going, only stopping for a few moments to jerk me off while saying something dirty to me, and with her lack of any gag reflex, she could keep deep throating me. If she felt any discomfort from this act she didn't let it bother her. While she wore her Dark Brotherhood armour, with her hood down, she still managed to look sexy as she looked up at me with eyes that expressed just how much she was into this.
I didn't pay her much attention I leaned back against the tree and let Arya pleasure me, she just kept going, making me feel good with her mouth and hands.
"Fuck I'm gonna cum," I said once I was ready.
Arya swallowed all I could give her and then stood up as if nothing much had happened.
"I wonder how many you'll find?" she questioned, "I have a few holes for you to use".
Suddenly I was eager to start looking again.
(Line Break)
Hotel. LA.
"Well that was a bust," I said.
I was sitting with Ahsoka on the floor of her simple bedroom, and we were both just looking at the stone that might as well be a pebble for all it did.
"While I don't know much about what you call magic" the former Jedi was saying "Perhaps it will only work in the world of its origin, and who is this Jack the Ripper?".
I told her the story, telling her about how Jack the Ripper was an unidentified serial killer active in the largely impoverished areas in and around the Whitechapel district of London in 1888. Attacks ascribed to Jack the Ripper typically involved female prostitutes who lived and worked in the slums of the East End of London whose throats were cut prior to abdominal mutilations. The removal of internal organs from at least three of the victims led to proposals that their killer had some anatomical or surgical knowledge. Rumours that the different murders were connected intensified in September and October 1888 and numerous letters were received by media outlets and Scotland Yard from individuals purporting to be the murderer.
"Why would you ever want to speak to such a person?" I was asked.
My versions were less icky than some might imagine.
"No one knows who he really was or why he killed those women," I said to Ahsoka "It's a great mystery in my homeland and I wanted to know".
Ahsoka frowned but didn't say anything.
"Maybe he was a vampire in this world" I mused "The human spirit would be innocent in that case and so it wouldn't be a name attached to it".
That was pure speculation. There was also a small chance that Jack the Ripper was a demon and still alive. Maybe it only worked on humans?.
"I'll try someone else" I decided.
The man I'd chosen to try to summon next was Milton Ernest "Doc" Noss, who was an American businessman and gold prospector, who claimed to have found a treasure trove of gold bullion somewhere New Mexico in 1937. He was killed by an associate in March 1949 according to my research. He supposedly collapsed the entrance to the cave while trying to open it with some dynamite, and I wanted to know if this was true. I didn't need the treasure this was just a test to see if I could commune with the dead.
"It worked!" I exclaimed very happily.
The spirit appeared and it looked more real than a ghost.
"Okay Mr Noss," I said next "About that cave".
As it turned out he didn't remember where the gold was located, but that hardly mattered and I soon let the spirit go before handing the stone back to Ahsoka.
"I won't let you use this again any time soon just in case" she let me know "And I'll be keeping an eye on you in case you start having any desires to end your own life".
That was fine with me.

Hotel. LA.
After a flurry of motion that involved a lot of clothes getting remove by both her and her lover, Arya found herself naked, lying on the bed with her legs spread, her wet cunt on display, she'd known that Damien would want to spend another of the rubies he'd found, and she intended for him to get his money's worth. It was part of the game, and she wanted to enjoy playing it.
"Your whore is ready my lord," she said.
Soon the male Slayer pinned her against the bed, and his cock swiftly slide into her soaked cunt. She bit her lip and moaned, loving the feeling of his manhood once again within her, only it felt so much better inside her pussy. Not that she minded having his manhood between her lips and sucking him off. He could have any sexual favour he wanted, that was the point of the game they were playing, and he was keeping up his side of the deal.
She didn't think about that for long as now he was fucking her. His thrusts were rapid, the man clearly had no intention taking his time. He was aroused from earlier when she'd pleased in him out in the open and he only sped up as she spoke dirty to him. The words she used were very effective, she already figured out how to get him to fuck her harder when she wanted to, and he didn't hurt her.
Arya put her arms around the neck of her lover and tried to force him closer to her, not caring for anything other than feeling as close to him as possible. She didn't love him, she didn't think she could love, not after what she'd become, but she enjoyed spending time with Damien and that was enough. She had no desire to live separated from others even if she sometimes acted as if she did.
He was going to cum soon, and Arya felt the same way. She felt her own orgasm coming on first, though, and she arched her neck back as she cried out, her scream of pleasure filling the room and she didn't give a damn if it woke up the whole hotel. His own orgasm came soon after, before long he was cumming into Arya's well-fucked pussy.
"I'm going to use this body in every possible way, Arya," he promised her once he had a voice to speak with "I'm going to use you like the little slut you are until this game is over".
That made her smile.
"And I want you to treat me like a whore," she said, "You've still got a lot to teach me about pleasing men, like what I've heard some of the others girls call butt-stuff".
If he ran out of rubies it wouldn't matter, they were just pretty things, only good as something to help her remember to her travels.
