Chapter 68

.

Buffy, Giles, Xander, Willow, Anya, Riley, Spike. They all busted up the fraternity cult's ritual. Unfortunately it seemed to still be continuing. Although the cult members, including Tom Warner and Alexander Cambias, were all unconsciouss, Moloch was coming. A cloud of black smoke was forming around a crystal ball. The cloud was getting bigger, and starting to take shape. It seemed to be drawing energy from the 12 infants, who were still alive, for now.

.

Willow: Buffy, I can stop it.

Buffy: How.

Willow: If I can destroy the crystal ball, the cloud will dissipiate and the infants will survive.

Buffy: And you'll be okay?

Willow: I can't destroy it from outside this cloud. Just tell Bianca that I love her.

Buffy: No, I'll do it.

Willow: The world needs a slayer, you die there's just Faith.

.

While they argued, Spike overheard the conversation. Those two would waste time arguing, he just had to do it. Spike jumped into the cloud. He regretted this as soon as he landed, there was no getting out of here alive. To late to stop that now. Nothing he could do but find the crystal ball, save those children. He got there, before it was too late. Spike smashed this. The pain of dying caused Spike to scream. Noone heard him, because Moloch let out a mighty death howl. It was the only sound Moloch would make. There was no trace of Moloch, or Spike. But Spike's sacrifice was not in vain. The 12 infants would all survive.
