A large wooden table hit the concrete wall, it barely hit the floor before a chair followed, both raining down in a shattered disarray. Jordan stood a smouldering mess of fury in the middle of her vampire ally's lair. The blond vampire sat off to the side in one of the few remaining chairs of what had been his dinning room set. He watched the scene with a detached amusement, as if he was above such a petty display.
"Something vexes it?" He asked idly, getting only a snarl in response. Ever since Jordan had returned empty handed from her trip after the second piece of her power gem, her fury had been tangible. The Pink Ranger spun around and grabbed another chair, one of the last remaining. This one how ever wasn't thrown, she swung it against a stone support pillar, with enough force to render it chip bark.
"Don't blame my chairs, my dear," The vampire said, "It's not there fault that you were not quick enough."
"You wanna have a go of it!?" Jordan demanded, her eyes flaring bright pink, "I seem to have a rather large supply of wooded stakes!" She held up a remaining leg
"Now you're just getting testy," Marcus informed holding up a finger chidingly.
Jordan threw the wooden leg at Marcus. The blond vampire battered it aside without blinking. He heavied a sigh and climbed to his feet, a towering figure clad in black. Blindly, arrogantly and madly Jordan rushed him. Her punch could have killed a normal person, but Marcus however was far from normal. His head snapped to the side, before her slowly twisted his head back a smile on his lips. Jordan, her eyes narrow in fury deprived of frustration, swung again. The blow never even touch him as he dodge with the barest move of his body. Again and again the danced around her moves, before finally he shifted and grabbed hold of her arm and laid his own hits into her vulnerable exposed stomach.
Jordan's slayer abilities and Ranger powers, were the only thing keeping her standing. Although, not by much.
Marcus shifted throwing out a powerful sidekick that had Jordan flying across the room into the wall, much the same as the table had before her.
She lay the gasped as she waited for her world to realigned itself. Groaning she leaned forward clutching at her stomach.
"So you see?" Marcus said conversationally crouching down besides her, "It doesn't matter what powers you have, you are still just a little girl."
He reacted out and grabbed hold of her hair, jerking her head back sharply. His usually handsome face, twisting into a more demonic visage.
"What ages teaches me is experience," he stated, "And what experience teaches me is that silly girls like you, will always fall if you don't think before you act. Arrogantly, blinding and foolhardily! So calm down, and think!" He jerked her head back allowing it to hit the wall behind her. She shifted painfully but otherwise remain silent. Finally with a deep breath and a slight shift Jordan composed herself.
"Think." He repeated
"Ethan and Trent, what were they doing out in the woods with the Rangers?" Jordan said thoughtfully, as she allowed her fury of failer to slide.
"Why?"
Jordan turned to look him in the eye, "Well there is one way to find out for certain."

Faith leapt the last couple of steps in the stairwell, pushes herself against the wall, two slayers followed her. She edged open the door and lunched herself into the hallway beyond. One unsuspecting vampire fell, dusted by her stake. The second however proved more difficult. He dodged Faith's swings and those of her slayer backup. Stepping back, he pulled a sword from a hidden sheath.
"Get back," Faith told the others, dancing back herself. She addressed the vampire, "Here we were babe having fun, and you had to make it all serious like." She dodged another swipe, "Careful with that thing, you might take out an eye," She got within his range and stopped a swing, and elbowed him in the face, "Probably you own."
"Faith!" The call came for the back up slayers as they, turned to look back down the hall. The dark haired slayer swore as she spotted more vampires making there way towards them, each sporting swords.
She turned her attention back to the vampire she still had in her grasp, with a snarl she pulled back and punched him repeatedly in the face. Her hand wrapped around the hilt of the sword just as her stake found his heart.
She spun around flipping the blade in her grasp and sprinted to help the other slayers.

Giles glared at the monitor was if it were the source of all the trouble. Willow's computer prowess mixed with those of her magic, had created many of the headquarters failsafe and alarms. The computer programs showed the progress of the undead intruders, as they moved down through the compound floor by floor.
Rupert Giles was not a beating man, but he was willing to wager his meagre Watcher salary, that these vampires had some kind of insider information. Given the ease, in which they moved through the building traps. It was only the hidden back up alarm that Willow had placed as a precaution that had let them how of the siege.
Of course there was one other thing, which they didn't know about.
"Spike," Giles spoke in a deadly calm voice that called no argument, "Give me your lighter."
With a frown the blond vampire pulled out his silver zeppo and threw it to the man. He was still confused about the Watchers adamant statement that he stayed in the command. He was even more confused when Giles started unending paper into a waste bin. With a calm sense of finality, Giles click on the lighter and lit to paper ablaze.
"What the bleedin' hell are you doing," Spike demanded, "We're under siege here, and you start lighting what…camp fires? What's next a bloody sing song?" With that he was off moving towards the door, "You had me stay here for that?"
The smoke detectors overhead flared to life, as the smoke hit them. The room was full of the blaring alarms, and water rain down on them.
The was a hissing sound as steam started the rise of Spike, "What the…"
He was cut off as Giles grabbed his arm and flung the unresisting vampire under a near by desk.
His swearing could be made out over the fire alarm, before he finally demanded.
"…. Holy Water!!!"

Faith was cornered, she was bleeding and she was spitting mad. Suzy a fifteen-year-old slayer lay wounded at her feet, and she hadn't even had a moment to see if she was still alive.
She fought her attackers with everything she had, her sword, fists, and legs. A sudden move had a sword point biting though her shoulder into the whitewash wall behind her. Gasping she reached up and grasped the blade. Her sword hung from nerveless fingers, before cluttering to the ground.
Slowly her dark eyes dropped to it, seeing the blade gleam lightly in Suzy's split blood, before raising he gaze to look at the vampire that had stab her. Her grip on the blade tightened ignoring the way the sharpened metal cut into her fingers, she pulled the blade from her. Stabbing it back into the wall, she kicked up her sword and beheaded the vampire.
A new alarm shut through the air, different from the intruder one. Someone had pulled the fire alarm. The sprinklers overhead flickered to life, sending a downpour of water. For a moment there was nothing, a sort of stunned shock, when the first vampire started screaming. Steam filled the as the surrounding vampires started to flail. Faith turned to look across at Maria the other slayer had been pinned also. The two shared a look, before Maria darted forwarded pulling the sword the vampire had stab Faith with from the wall. And together they weaved there way through the vampires. It was a simple good of clean up.
