Warning This Chapter possesses some Dark and violent Sexual imagery at the start of this section. Reader's digression is advised.
Part 3,
Spike was sleeping on his couch as the DVD in his X-Box was replaying the menu of Species II. Between the imagery of the Immortal humping Buffy and Dawn like the Alien possessed Astronaut in the film and making them pregnant with his toxic spawn. Spike started to have a strange dream that the Immortal had done the same thing to Buffy and her Sister Dawn as they screamed for someone to come and save them.
The fact that the bastard had humped Dru during his sex orgy with Angelus's love Darla; but the bastard was touching Dawn's innocent body, something that neither Buffy nor Joyce would have allowed over their dead or undead bodies. Spike had sworn to Joyce, Buffy and Dawn's mother before her death that he would protect them from harm. With that Spike knew what he must do. He would save Dawn and Buffy and find someone, some sorcerer or medical expert that would restore them and remove the Spawn from their bodies before finally killing the bastard for defiling them.
Spike had raced to Rome in his dream and ran into the Immortal's loft to see the Immortal doing it to Buffy as she cried during the sex act, but as Spike ran towards the field to free the two people in the world that he had given a damn about a field caught him in flight and he caught fire as sunlight filtered in from and above sky light as the Immortal started on banging them for another time as their guts regenerated after giving birth to their first two spawn.
That was when Spike awoke to his phone buzzing like mad and attempting to shake off of the dark imagery from his mind. "Hold on for a Bloody second..." Spike said groggily as he got up off of the couch and moved over to the phone that was hanging in the kitchen area. "Wait until I get there." Spike stopped and checked his phone's built in caller id. It was Angel's cell phone.
"Bloody Hell Angel do you know what time it is?" Spike said as he attempted to work out the sleep from his eyes and trying to remember it was a dream.
"Yeah Spike I know it is one in the afternoon." Angel said as Spike turned to look at the clock on the wall.
"Oh, well it is, Mate." Spike said apologetically. "So, why are you calling, are you and the Mrs. future Liam Angelus still shagging each other?" Spike said as he attempted to get a rise out of Angel over the phone.
"Spike," Angel said switching to I'm in business mode. "Gunn got attacked at the hospital." Angel said coldly.
"Say What..." Spike said off guard as he looked into space.
"Yeah, one of the nurses turned out to be a minion of the late Senator. If Illyria hadn't been there Gunn would be dead now." Angel said as Spike got the feeling of where this was going.
"Let me guess the minions know their leaders are gone, so they are taking out their anger on us. I thought taking down the Black Thorn was a good thing. Oh, Well Spelt Milk." Spike said as he reached under the sink cabinet and pulled out short Roman Style battle sword he kept for personal protection. "So you are letting me know that probably members of the Frell Brotherhood might be gunning for me." Spike said as he heard a knock at the door.
"Be there in a sec." Spike said as he moved to pick up a remote and started to click through channels to access the camera outside of his door but in doing so, he accessed the Screen in the Screen mode that allowed him to look at what was happening on the other channels. It wasn't until he saw what was happening on KLAX Channel 7 that Spike stopped flipping through the channels.
"Bloody Hell." Spike said as he turned up the volume to his TV.
"According to eye witnesses, there was an attempt on the life of one of the injured from what many have called "The Gateway to Hell indent." Now what we have been able to piece together so far is that one of the individuals who took down the would be attacker was reported to be a Sub-T, now from recent footage Sub-T's have been known to have sufficient strength and speed to some serious damage; now from reports one of these Sub-T's used enough force to drive the attackers down at least two to three floors." The reporter said as police and military personnel started to surround the place. "It looks like we have to move, now Steve..." The Female reporter said as she moved with the Camera crew to a different area but the camera guy was definitely earning his pay.
"Bloody Hell its Soldier Boy," Spike said over the phone to Angel. "It looks like He is in charge of moving Gunn." Spike said as he cranked up the volume some more.
"Yeah, I think that he is moving Gunn to a secure location." Angel said as Spike watched the scene unfold.
"Bloody Hell," Spike said as he saw several of the Slayers he knew from Sunnydale show up into frame.
"What is it Spike?" Angel said over the phone.
"It looks like some of the Slayers have decided to help out Little Shiva." Spike said noticing Chloe, Vi, Kennedy and probably three or four more.
"Well I hope that she makes Contact with them, it probably be good to have some extra muscle around Gunn." Angel said as he started to chew over in his mind about things.
"Listen Angel, you help Dog girl and her Family, I'll go see if I can help Shiva out with Gunn." Spike said as he tossed on a clean shirt and put on his long leather Duster while putting the sword into a sling that he kept his weapons in while out on patrol.
"Okay Spike, but you might want to grab the chainsaw that I left at your place. I have the feeling that you will need it, be careful Spike. These are the followers of the Black Thorn we are dealing, so be on your toes." Angel said before he hung up the phone.
"Blue Bird, I know that you are learning to be human. But do you always have to keep building up a body count." Spike said as he headed out the door and got in his red two thousand-four Ford Mustang and headed down to the Hospital. It was going to get interesting for them all.
Illyria was sitting in a room with several officials standing around her. They had been asking her questions about the attacker; the reason that Gunn was targeted by the being that Illyria had pummeled through the floor or floors in the plural sense. Illyria was just numb not from the attack but from that a part of her had surfaced. Winifred...
"Can I see Charles Gunn?" Illyria said as Fred's southern drawl started to work its way to the surface.
"Ma'am, we just to need to ask you some more..." One of the officers said as Illyria was getting to the point where all she wanted was to see if Gunn was well.
"I will not answer any more of your questions, Human... I need to see Charles Gunn. I Demand it, I..." Illyria started to become more irrational emotionally. "I lost a good friend of mine who was my guide. He was helping me to find my place. Now he is gone killed by those I saved this world from. Gunn is a fellow warrior who helped save Winifred.... Me from a Hell world and I saved him from one as well." Illyria said as she got up and headed through the officers around her.
"Wait a minute, now you are not going anywhere until we get some answers to..." One of the taller police officers said as he got in her path.
"I need to see Gunn." Illyria said as she moved past the guy and proceeded to hit the door with enough force with her hand that the hinges and the lock were torn off as the door flew off and crashed into the hallway.
"Oh, Darn..." The Officer said seeing the imprint of the doorknob into the floor.
"Bloody Hell, I knew finding would be easy but not this easy." Spike said cautiously coming into the room.
"Spike, do you know where Gunn is?" Illyria said as Spike looked around the scene.
"Blue bird. Listen a Friend of Mine is Moving Gunn to a safe place." Spike said as Illyria calmed down some as he came into the room.
"Spike, I don't know the scent of these beings. Since my human side has become more dominate, I could smell demon, but human and other things. Metal. But I smelled magic and science one her body like she was wrapped in like the rotting flesh of death." Illyria said as worry and fear mixed together as she leaned forward against the wall.
"Well Bird don't worry we'll find out who sent this assassin after Gunn. Just be glad that you were here to save him." Spike said as he moved over to Illyria.
"Spike... the scent on them smelt like something that Fred...I smelled on you after she brought you back." Illyria said as she turned to face him. "Spike the smell came from the back of your head where you have a scare under your hair. Here." Illyria said as she pointed out the spot on the back of her own skull with her fingers. The look on Spike's face turned him white was a sheet.
"Bloody hell... I knew that he wouldn't stay buried forever even after Buffy destroyed the Hellmouth." Spike said as he moved to grab Illyria by the arm and pulled her out the door but stopped and turned towards one of the cops. "Listen, any of you blokes seen an Agent Riley Finn anywhere around here?" The officers looked at Spike like okay you know more about what is going on than us. Please fill in.
"Um, Agent Finn is down the hall third door on the right." The officer said as Spike continued out the door with Illyria.
"Blue, I think you better be ready to deal with some of the newer badies that will heading your way. Because they are like nothing you have ever seen." Spike said has he took the hilt of his sword and pounded on the door with it. "Finn, you better let me in. Its Spike." Spike said with a determination Illyria hadn't seen outside of battle and their training sessions.
"Do you wish me to summon my weapons?" Illyria said as she looked at Spike,
"No Bird, but I would suggest that you be at the ready." Spike said as he knocked on the door again. "Finn, I know your ass is in there." Spike started to yell at the closed door. "I know that Adam is involved." The last words lead up to the door opening and Agent Finn standing there.
"Spike???" Finn said as he looked at the Half-Breed in shock. Illyria started to sniff at the air and realized that the same smell was coming off of this human as well.
"Human you have the same smell as the Half-breed here and the warrior that attacked Gunn. How can that be?" Illyria said starting to get worried as she summoned one of her swords in her hand and slowly bit her bottom lip.
"Spike bring your friend in, and you better tell me how much she knows, because you have to see what we found on the body." Finn said as he closed the door behind them on the table before them lay several laptop computers, photos and the severed arm from Gunn's would be assassin in a forensics bag.
"Bloody Hell..." Spike said as he looked at the severed limb. The metal band around the wrist and up half the arm pointed to this creature being made up from dead tissue.
"This thing skinks of death." Illyria said as she leaned over and looked at several of the photos. "This one was different, but he looks like her. What Magic is this?" Illyria said worried as she started to bring forth the Spark to access Fred's memories. "Given the style of how the tissue has been spliced would suggest that it would take a Necromancer and an Orn'gigal Healer working together with some major technology to pull this off." Illyria said in Fred's voice. Spike and Finn looked at her like she had grown another head right before them.
"Blue, is Fred in there?" Spike said as Illyria looked at the images of the body.
"The one called Winifred and the one called Illyria, their minds have been merged into this vessel, Spike." Illyria said as she circled around the table some more as she commanded her blade back to its holding realm. "Sorry, when the Oracles said Smoothie effect, they decided to meld our two minds and personalities together. I'm trying to understand it, but right now, the science geek in me has taken over and is fascinated by what's here." The Blue haired Fred said as she picked up one of the pictures and started to examine it.
"Fred... I mean Illyria." Spike stumbles at how he should state the name of this being before him and Finn.
"Just call me what you feel comfortable with. Just call me Blue for now; it is something that both my Winifred and Illyria aspects can deal with for now. You will need the knowledge that we both possess to help you." The Blue demon said as she started to look at Spike and Finn.
"Can you tell me about his Adam, is he some foe or some Ally of yours that fought against, because if he is like you, then that means this being must have had a progenitor of great knowledge to create it." Blue said as her mind attempted to merge her human's logical of science and her demon's knowledge of warfare together.
"Oh, Bugger. We have to tell her about him." Spike said as he looked at Finn.
"Yeah. I was sort of thinking that as she started to name the parts of what you need to create a being like this." Finn said as he decided to take a deep breath and started to think of a way to state this creatures existence to his superiors as well knowing that n old threat may have surfaced as he started to tell the Blue demon of what he knew of Adam and some of what was going on during the Initiative's final days in Sunnydale California.
