Racing down the streets towards the Library to talk to Giles Cordy and Xander skidded to a halt suddenly. In front of the pair was Spike, Drusilla, a dozen or so vampires, and what looked like little demons. Knowing the little demons were just kids the pair still gained a smirk knowing this was going to be fun. Stopping a decent amount of Yards in front of the vampire and his gang with a roar of his bike and Logan the pair got off their rides in front of a group of innocents huddled in fear. With one word the game seemed to change, with the word "Protect" Logan moved toward the group and laid down near the younger ones while Xander's bike seemed to shift. Seeming to shift and grow, the bike shifted into a metallic dire wolf that made its way over to the other side of the group of innocents.
Turning towards his bike as it shifted before shrugging, shifting his attention back to Spike and his Gang "Well, that happened, knew Logan would go but didn't expect that. Hunny, do you think we need to come up with a name for my bike now too? Sooo cool it's a transformer but wow didn't expect that." Xander gushed a bit about being who he was. "Focus Doofus.." Cordy said softly but clearly for all to hear. "Right my Queen, Alright Spike at the moment you probably think 'Sweet a Big Bad to help' Well you are right about Big Bad but not you getting help. See... Queen and myself here are Shepherds, shepherds of the innocent so they may live their lives as they wish without fear. We are the new fear for those who prey on them." He spoke a double tone to his voice towards the end. Glancing at Cordy with a nod.
Spike, not one to let his thunder be stolen "Really mate, thinking you dressed like some legendary rider... Gana scare me and my gang?" spike asked before starting to chuckle softly. "Mate, Do you know who you are talking to? Have you heard of what I have done? Slayers can't even stop me, What the bloody hell makes you think you can." Spike asked, heated at the end and itching for a fight. "Spiky, kitten isn't a kitten anymore. Kitten is a King and has found his Queen. Together they will bring fear. We need to go." Drusilla spoke softly next to Spike, shocking Spike a bit.
One could say a skull on fire with a viscous smirk was a scary thing. Having that same flaming skull turn into the face of Xander Harris causes Spike to be shocked even more. "My Queen, did I ever tell you what Angel did to try to gain an upper hand with Spike when we first met?" Drusilla, already moving towards the back of the gang of Vampire to escape, looked back and started moving quicker as Spike started backing up quickly. Before Spike could make it too far he froze as everyone heard a low almost unheard without their vampiric hearing growl start. "Doofus, I do believe you did, and for that... He is mine..." Was all that was heard with the end coming out very much like a growl as every face turned towards Cordelia. Xander stared in awe as Cordy shifted slightly, becoming almost more animalistic as she gained a rather werewolf-like shape but clearly feline.
With a roar that made every vampire take a step back and all the mini demons the children dressed as run for cover Cordy ran straight for Spike. Spike, running now for his undead life, groaned as he felt claws in his back before he suddenly felt himself flying forward only to land in a heap on the ground several yards away. "That hurt you bloody bitch." he growled as he got to his feet. Growling still "You have no idea who you pissed off, but I will do you a favor because we need a messenger. And you and the princess will be it. Be good and you might, just might live long. Give us a reason..." she trailed off as she pulled her sword out, smirking as she looked at it as her skull's eye sockets seemed to flash for a moment. Slamming the tip of her sword in the street she moved towards a retreating spike, moving at a speed that surprised Spike she lifted him up. "See right now, this beating you get is for what you thought of doing to My King... I don't take kindly to that. As a relief tho, be happy it was to him, I'm the nice one..." She purred out next to his ear before her fist not holding him up was planted in his stomach forcing him to cough up spit as he lost what breath his undead body had in him. Letting him drop to his knees she waited for him to stand back up before delivering a very strong palm strike to him, sending him skidding back before rolling to a stop at Drusilla's feet. "DO NOT move and leave till we say you can. Remember you are to be a witness to warn the others."
"Thank you, my Queen, now gentlemen and ladies tonight just is not your night. See while Spike might have thought it was a legend and at one time it may have been... The riders are back with a vengeance for the innocent. We are there Shepherds. And shepherds we shall be for Thee, my Lord, for Thee. Power hath descended forth from Thy hand. That our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command. So we shall flow a river forth to Thee. And Teeming with souls shall it ever be. In Nomine Patris, et Fili, et Spiritus Sancti." Xander chanted towards the end.
While Xander was speaking he pulled out both his weapons from his back. Smirking While speaking he connected the two ends to form a staff with a click sound being heard when he spoke 'We are there Shepherds'. When Xander got to the next part and started chanting the prayer he started spinning the staff around him, faster and faster. Soon near the middle of the prayer every vampire, Spike, and Drusilla included would swear Xander got to a point where he wasn't even touching the staff reminding them of the skills they haven't seen except in martial arts masters. Before anyone could say anything or move Xander grabbed the staff at the last moment and slammed the blade part of the staff down towards the ground and before it touched the pavement a flash of Holy fire engulfed the weapon. From the foot-long bladed end of the white staff to the ball at the other end of the long staff seemingly disappeared in the flash of Holy fire only for a reversed handled katana to appear in his right hand with a winged skull cross guard separating the reversed handle and the blade while a circular shield appeared over his left arm with a winged skull on it with a cross superimposed over the skull.
"Now... while my Queen might yell at me later for showing off I am actually doing it for a reason. See... every idiot in front of me seeking to harm the innocent is now fearful of just what in heaven is about to happen... The ones we protect..." he stated as he spoke while lifting the shield so it was flat as a melodious cry could be heard throughout the night. Soon every Vampire took a step back feeling the new fear instilled in them while the innocents could feel nothing but hope. "Queen, you still need to name her but I know... I know... Can't rush in needing the perfect name for her." He started chuckling as he turned to the rather large bird on his shield. "Ladies, Gentlemen, and children this is our lovely Phoenix who we just met, yes my Queen and her are still going over names and no I am not getting in the middle of that. Anyways, she is going to come over there please be gentle, think of petting her like this, if it's too hard for a baby, it's too hard for her. Logan tho, though he likes the snuggles and such." he said as the large bird now known to be a phoenix flew over to the group of innocents protected by Logan and Xander's transformed bike.
"Doofus... you are lucky we need tonight to make a statement otherwise I would be telling you to hurry the heaven up." Turning her head slightly from Spike and Drusilla to look at the gang of vampires. "Remember this, the first idiot to use bad language isn't gana need to just worry over Doofus because I don't move to get you screaming." She purred out aggressively as a thin almost invisible because of how thin the chain was to pull her sword back to her, the only indication of the chain was the blue fire glow to it indicating it was Holy fire. After catching her sword the chain which is similar to the chain connecting Xander's Sword to his shield she spun her sword like Xander did his staff. With a flash of Holy fire similar to Xander's staff her broadsword changed into chakram before smirking as she split it in half while looking back. "Yes, I can arcuately throw both and hit my target. Be good idiots and watch your language." Before anyone could do or say anything Spike spoke one word "Bloody..." and before he could finish he jerked his head back as he hissed while a slice formed along his cheek before turning to ash as a scar formed from being cut by a holy weapon and holy fire. "That means you to blondie." Cordy hissed not even looking at Spike as she used the chain connected ethereally to the half chakram.
"Now... before half you idiots grow a brain and try to just run and leave town which since newbie night, you might get away. There is always something I have wanted to do." He spoke softly and by the time he was done speaking, he was a Ghostrider again. "GET OVER HERE..." he roared as he threw his blade straight in front of him, hearing a soft yet wet sound he pulled the ethereal chain back and calmly waited for the flying vampire with a sword in his chest to be at the right area before using the shield on his left arm to decapitate the vampire turning him to dust.
