THE TRAVELER
Buffy and Angel are on the east coast and have decided to stop by for the weekend in Washington DC to visit with Kaitlyn and Matt. Kaitlyn and Matt drive to the airport to meet and pick up Angel and Buffy. They get there and find the two waiting on the sidewalk at the terminal. They get in the truck.
After their hellos Kaitlyn asks, "Any of you hungry?"
The truck remains quiet for a moment. Angel makes a nervous giggle. They decide to go to a diner. Before they can even order, Kaitlyn gets a Code Red call. They all rush out to the Pentagon. The four enter the PCI center.
Kate, "What happened?"
Commander Walther and General Thompson are speaking with another government official wearing a President of the United States jacket. The man leaves.
Kaitlyn, "Was that secret service?"
Commander Walther, "Who are they?"
Kate, "This is Buffy Summers and Angel."
Commander Walther, "Summers... You knew Riley Finn. Another slayer right?"
Thompson, "Can we get this going?" He calls together everyone. "Alright. The President received word from the Secretary of Defense from an Italian official that strange activity has broken out across Italy. Satellite images show this." He points to a map of Europe. "Here you see a massive black part, blocking out Italy. Its growing in size and within the next few hours, should consume most of southern Europe. Bio-sensors have detected an extreme level of paranormal energies. If this keeps growing, it should block out the sun from all of Europe, Asia and Africa and within days, the world."
Buffy asks, "Angel, this happened in Los Angeles before, right?"
Thompson, "Yes, but that was a minor occurrence compared to what we're detecting. We've also detected a large portal opening not far from the Pompeii volcano. Something extremely powerful has crossed over into our world. The President has demanded the PCI find out what came through. We'll be sending in all our teams. You'll all be heading out in one hour by stealth flight."
Kaitlyn asks Buffy and Angel to take Matt home and stay with him. Buffy agrees but Angel wants to go along, he says he could be very useful. He has a possible idea about what's happening. Thompson agrees and lets Angel go along. Buffy takes Matt home. The PCI teams load into three stealth bombers, which instead of bombs, will transport the teams to an aircraft carrier in the Mediterranean. They take off. Hours later they enter airspace, consumed by the darkness. The bombers land and they get updated on the spread of the dark force. It now covers southern Europe and the Mediterranean sea. Satellite imaging is useless in the area since the dark force has blinded it.
The Admiral of the ship, "You'll be loading into two Blackhawk helicopters and flown to the island of Sicily."
They load up and fly out. As they get closer the darkness seems to have spread to the point where even flying is dangerous. They must fly lower. They make it to the island where the Italian special forces will meet them. The helicopters land and the teams, lead by Kaitlyn and a SEAL commander get out and meet the Italian special forces. By Humvee, they drive as close as they can get to the volcano, which is covered in the darkness and purple lightning flashes repeatedly.
Angel whispers to Kaitlyn, "I think I know what came through...and its not a demon."
Kate, "What is it then?"
Angel, "We're dealing with a god."
The SEAL commander, "I don't want to send my guys into that dark cloud. Can't see shit and that lightning doesn't help either. So what's your plan?"
Kaitlyn, "Keep the teams here. Myself and Angel will go ahead."
Mathis runs up, "I want to go along."
SEAL commander, "The Italians won't go in. I don't trust this either. The paranormal sensors are off the charts. One blew. We should abort."
Kate says again, "Angel and I are going. I guess you can come too."
Mathis goes with them as they drive into the darkness. They continue driving and it comes to a clearing. In the center is a bright light, surrounded by lightning flashes and a dark mist. Mathis stops the Humvee.
Angel, "I don't know how much we can do."
Kaitlyn, "Where is the god? Or is that giant bright light the god?"
Suddenly the lightning gets worse and the bright light grows and then disappears. Standing ahead of them is a 15 - 20 foot tall being.
Kate, "There he is."
It roars. The three get out of the truck. Angel vamps out. Mathis grabs a Barrett rifle. Kaitlyn's eyes go neon purple. The god walks toward them. Demonic laughing sounds like it comes from all around. Mathis fires the rifle once into it's chest. The god steps back once. More laughing.
Mathis in a disappointed way, "Shit..."
Kate and Angel run at it. Mathis fires four more times. Angel goes to jump kick it but the god swings its arm and Angel flies back over 100 feet. Kaitlyn goes to punch the god but it swings its arm at her. She catches it and she slides backward ten feet. Mathis reloads and fires again, five shots. Angel yells to Mathis and Mathis chucks a sword over to him. Kaitlyn takes the god's arm and flips it. The god gets up and punches her. Kaitlyn flies backward and gets up. Angel runs in from behind and stabs through the god. It picks him up and throws him. Kaitlyn runs at it and kicks it. It tries to stomp her but she dodges. Mathis fires again five shots. The god points at him and Mathis runs. A lightning bolt strikes down and blows up the Humvee. Kaitlyn kicks and punches the god over and over. Angel runs back up and slices again and again. The god grabs Angel and throws him at Kate. They both fly back 100 feet. Mathis picks up an M4A1 laying nearby. He starts unloading on the god. Kaitlyn and Angel get back up and run at the god and start attacking it. Angel jumps up on its back and stabs the god through the chest. Kaitlyn kicks the god back and catches its arm as it attempts to swat her away. She flips the god down again. Angel stabs through the god's throat. The god throws Angel back. Kate kicks the god in the head and stomps its face. It punches her back and gets up. Mathis finds a grenade and throws it at the god. It explodes but the god only falls back a little, roars again. Kate and Angel start attacking it from behind. Mathis runs up front, strapping a C-4 to the god's leg. It swats Angel and Kate back. It turns around and grabs, Mathis. It takes him and lifts him up. Angel and Kate get up again. The god snaps Mathis in half and throws the body.
Kaitlyn screams, "No!!!"
She fires at the C-4 and it explodes. The god falls down but gets back up. Kaitlyn throws down her guns and points at the god. Explosions set off all around it. She starts walking toward it, her eyes suddenly glow white. The god swings at her but she moves so fast it misses. She grabs it from behind and throws him into the burning rubble of the Humvee. It gets up. Angel stands there watching in awe. Kaitlyn scissor kicks the god. It flies back. She picks it up again and slams it down into the ground. She gets on top and kicks its head deep into the ground. It jumps up and slams it's fist down. Kaitlyn steps out of the way quickly. She grabs the arm and snaps it. She trips the god and punches into and through the chest. Kate pulls out her arm and rips the spine of the god with it. Another loud roar. It lays there unable to move. Kaitlyn points at Angel's sword. The sword rips from his hand and flies right into Kaitlyn's. She takes the sword and swings it down, slicing off the god's head. Suddenly the lightning stops and the darkness slowly subsides. Kaitlyn returns to normal. She falls down. Angel runs over and helps her up.
"What the hell was that?" He asks surprised.
As several Blackhawk helicopters fly in low, multiple Humvees and two air force jets streak over,
Kaitlyn answers, "Kaitlyn 4.0?".
