Chapter 6 - Back At The Ranch
Back at the abey, things were interesting. Slayer nightlife had begun, and things were getting fun.
While Giles, Wesley and the other watchers they had found were working still, Faith, Buffy and the other girls came down to the abey's club, The Bronze to party.
Xander did the DJ, while Spike and Angel kept an eye on things round the place. Every night, three pairs of slayers would go out to patrol while the others relaxed and others worked. Those who worked worked at The Bronze, for the slayers all took turns doing the bar, and guarding the doors. Only the generals and above got off from bar duties, though.
The Bronze was about twice the size of the one that had been in Sunnydale, but only took slayers and the staff. It had a lounge area, a bar area, dance floor, cafe area, even a training area off it all. Also known as 'Slayers' Paradise', only one girl disliked it. Annabel.
But then, Annabel was often with the watchers instead of the slayers, and the slayers disliked her for it. She was known to suck up to Giles and Wesley, Wesley especially, which turned Cordelia against her too.
That night though, Kym was in a good mood and neither her or Kennedy had any duties for the night.
The infamous slayering duo sauntered up to the bar, waving to various friends of theirs, and winking to Spike and Angel when they saw them, Kym more than Kennedy though.
'Diet coke, please Vi.' Kym rested her elbows on the bar edge and glanced round The Bronze.
'Same here Vi.' Kennedy copied Kym, only stopping on Willow as she made her way towards them. Kennedy smiled warmly and waved to her lover. Next to her, Kym frowned.
'Kennedy. Look at the doors.' Kym said, not taking her eyes off said doors.
The doors into The Bronze from the outside world was on the same wall as the bar, with the doors in from the abey opposite them. They were guarded with two guards per entrance.
At the outer doors, as they were called (not the doors to the abey, ok?), there seemed to be some trouble. Sometimes, some tough guys would try to get into The Bronze, since it was invitation only, and had all the hot slayers inside.
'I'll get it. You stay with Will, k?' Kym told her friend calmly. Kennedy grinned at her and the two high-fived before Kym started off through the crowd, all the while telling people that she'd handle it. The girls all left her too it, they knew better than to mess with Kymica Summers.
Kym stopped as she reached the doors. On duty was Amanda and Nikki Summers. Attacking them was none other than The Demolition Boys, and Kai.
Kym glared at her opponents and screamed something in the same language as earlier, which Oliver and Enrique had identified as Spanish.
All slayers stopped, as did the music. Faith and the blonde from the conference room pushed their way through to stand by Kym.
'Faith, Buffy. These are the pests I was telling you about earlier.' Kym said stiffly, her eyes never leaving the boys as they shook of the guards who tried to hold them. Only Ian remained trapped, held up by his collar by Amanda, who was teasing him.
'Oh I think you can handle them with Amanda and Nikki, Kymi.' Buffy said. Kym's hand flew out, grabbing the blonde at the neck.
'I. Am. Not. Called. KYMI. For anything. Capishe!' Kym spat out. The blonde rolled her eyes but nodded, and was swiftly released from Kym's death grip. Kym smiled childishly at her.
'Good. Now that that's settled,' she cracked her knuckles menacingly, 'What to do with the crashers.' There was a lot of cheering and jeering from the crowd that had gathered behind them.
'Hiya Kym. Mind if I help?' Kennedy stepped out from a section of the crowd to join them. Kym nodded.
'I wanna rematch with those jerks too.' Rona stepped out with them. Faith and Buffy stepped back to watch.
'And me! Those gits will pay for what they did to my make-up!' There was small laughter as Cho-Ann stepped out too, grinning nastily at the bladers.
'You sure you guys wanna do this? Cos we could kick your butts some other night if you want.' Kennedy asked. Kym smirked.
'Yeah, try when we're on duty instead.' Others laughed at her comment, and Amanda and Nikki bowed to the four, before backing away from them, into the crowd.
'What's with the bowing?' asked Johnny as he stepped round the doorway. Oliver and Enrique followed him.
'Why am I not surprised that you showed up as well?' Kym asked boredly, cupping her chin in her hand, leaning her elbow on a ledge by the doorway.
'Why aren't we surprised that we know you Kymica?' Robert asked, finally stepping out from the shadows. Johnny nodded and all eyes turned to Kym.
Kym's eyes widened in an instant, and she suddenly felt freezing cold. Goosepimples appeared on her skin, her feet were frozen to the spot, and a feeling of de-ja-vu and dread smothered her.
'Kym? What are they talking about?' asked Kennedy uncertainly. Kym only shook her head.
'You are not here, you are not here, you are not here, you are not he-'
'Um, yes we are here.' Oliver intererupted Kym's whispered chants.
'Fine. I am not here, I am not here, I am not here, I am not here, I am not here, I am not he-'
'KYM!' Kym turned to Kennedy, and grabbed a chocolate bar off the side. She swiftly brought the bar round, and stuffed it into the brinette's mouth.
'Hym! Gm mis mocomate mar mout om my mouf mow!' Slayers throughout The Bronze started chuckling as the mighty Kennedy was reduced to sounding like an idiot. Wrong move.
'I wouldn't laugh if I were you girls. Cos she's gonna kill you lot and me now. Well, as soon as she gets that bar gotta her gob, that is.' Kym told them casually.
'Uh, Kym?' asked Amanda, tapping the purple-haired slayer on the shoulder.
'What?'
'Look up there!' Amanda cried, pointing to above the doorway.
Stood on top of the doorframe, was none other than the revived Celeb.
'CELEB!' Buffy yelled.
There was immediate mayhem. Girls started screaming and running across The Bronze, leaving the bladers stood where they were.
Kai saw the grey-haired man from the conference room run p to Kym and start saying something to her. Kym started protesting, and pointed to the group angrily. The man grabbed her arm, but she pulled away, punching him in the nose, before running over to a group of scared girls, who nodded and ran after her, back towards the bladers.
'COME ON!' Kym screamed as the group raced towards them.
Along with Kym was Kennedy, Rona, Cho-Ann, Amanda, Vi, Faith and Buffy.
Kym grabbed Johnny and Roberts' hand, and ran off almost immediately, leaving her friends to get the other bladers.
Kennedy grabbed Kai and Tala's hands too, also running off with them after Kym. Both girls dodged round a corner with the boys, and waited. Kennedy bumped into Kym as she rounded the corner, sending Kym back a bit.
Meanwhile, Buffy and Faith had gone together with Bryan, Tyson, Mariah and Ray.
Amanda and Cho-Ann were together, protecting, Lee, Kevin, Spencer and Ian.
That left Rona and Vi with Max, Kenny, Oliver and Enrique.
Kym was regretting her choice to say the least.
'Alright, what the hell is going on here? Who was that guy? And how do you know these two?' asked Kai, smirking with Tala at Johnny and Robert. Kym and Kennedy rolled their eyes.
'We'll tell them later, ok?' Kym said to Kennedy, before running down a passageway.
'Where are we going?' asked Johnny as he and the others followed Kym as fast as they could.
'To Slayers Chamber!' floated back the reply.
Johnny and Robert looked at each other and gulped.
'Slayer?'
