Buffy wiped blood from her lips. It was hard to keep an eye on all four arms, and the demon was tiring her out. She aimed a powerful kick at the creature's stomach, but the Golgey anticipated the move, grabbed her by the foot and flung her across the floor. Her jacket got caught on some razor wire and tore badly.

"Well... that's 100 bucks down the drain." Buffy slid out of her jacket and jumped up quickly. Her shoulder smarted like hell and her whole body ached, but she had to get up and fight, the demon wasn't about to make allowances for her injuries.

"Little help here guys? Will?" Buffy called to her friends. Her friends often came with her on these missions, and had proven invaluable in the past.

"I'm trying Buffy... He must have a protection spell or something... Everything is being blocked!" the Wicca's eyes were narrowed in concentration "I'm trying to break it... but..."

The demon launched another punch at Buffy's face, but this time she managed to block the attack by grabbing his fist, then turned the demon over and threw him to the ground. This was quite a feat, even for Buffy, being as petite as she was. The demon towered above her, a good 6"5, and he wasn't exactly skinny. It made a terrible groaning noise, and then disappeared.

"Is that all you got?" Buffy quipped, but she tensed up, all her senses in overdrive, ready for an attack at any moment. She'd faced demon's that could teleport themselves at will before, and knew the fight was far from over.

"Will, have you got anything yet?"

"I'm getting there Buffy... he lost a lot of energy teleporting... I can feel his defence weakening."

Good, Buffy thought. I'm going to need all the help I can get.

"Xander, I want you to-"

At this, the demon grabbed Buffy with all four of its arms and began to drag her away through the forest.

"Willow!!" she screamed, trying to elbow the beast in its stomach, and kicking at it with her legs. She managed to kick it hard in the shin with the heel of her boot, causing it to yell out in pain and release its grip on her, and collapse to the ground clutching at its leg in pain. While it was incapacitated, she delivered a roundhouse kick to the creature's skull, making a sickening crack sound. The monster howled in agony, and grabbed at her, desperate for revenge. The Golgey clawed savagely at her arm, giving her a series of shallow wounds. In retaliation, she grabbed one of its arms and snapped it. The pain in the demon's murky green eyes was clearly visible.

"Well that's one less to worry about. One down, three to go I suppose." Buffy joked. The demon's humour however, was not up to much, and used two of his remaining arms to lift her effortlessly off the ground. By her throat.

Willow's brow furrowed as she looked at her friend. Why was her spell not working? There must be something she could do. Buffy needed her. She watched as Xander ran over to the pair, and hurled himself at the demon, trying to knock him over, only to be swiped away by its remaining free arm, as effortlessly as if he were a fly. Think, Willow, think! There was that new spell... But she'd never tried it before, what if it went wrong? As she watched Buffy turn from red to purple, she decided the time for worrying had passed. It was quite literally do or die.
