(A/N Not to give any spoilers and to give a reason to yes they are powerful but the reason is this. I put it in the Marvel-verse also for a reason, they are strong but let's be honest Marvel is just as strong. Buffy's verse alone has Glory among others. That being said, Does anyone think this much amount of energy spiking wouldn't alert others? And yes I am being vague because I honestly did not write down the end plan, there isn't one. Originally I started this because one of the writers here flat-out stated that while very hard for them, they still find a way because it's what they like to do. Thinking about making a story for a decade and starting one is very different. I will say, that anyone who reads it and chooses of their own will to help, read it and correct things like spelling and grammar programs I have helped me miss, I would love it and more than likely read it and switch the chapter with the fixed version giving credit unless said otherwise. Just like I give credit to the writer but since it has been said to name them I won't, but should they leave a review saying it since we both know who I am talking about, the next chapter will agree with the review.
My main idea starting this was really simple and I plan to make a Harry Potter story at some point. Basically two characters I love I just do not see used like ever... Ghostrider and Beast Master. For me, the concept of an Angel driven insane to power the devil's bounty hunter has so many options from the base idea. Same for Beast Master. For Ghostrider, I used more so Cage's movie version while for Beast Master I used the show and movies since they are connected. The rest was mostly because the stare of the Ghostrider is kinda useless with soulless vampire bodies and such. Are they Powerful, damn right they are but then again... Buffy's verse could use a pair that is more along the lines of Riddick "In normal times, evil would be fought with good. But in times like these, well, it should be fought by another kind of evil" While they are powered by the gods, I like that line because it reminds me, that not everything light is good while not everything dark is evil and there must be a balance. Think of Xander and Cordy as this new balance, neither fully light nor fully dark, able to walk amongst Angels and go where Angels fear to tread. )
Xander stood still as the ash was swept away in the wind. "Let this be a lesson, both myself and my Queen can see into the hearts of daemons, angelic and mortals alike. We have been given a purpose... This is to keep the balance. There is a reason it is said that the road to hell is paved with good intentions. You do not need to be holy or anything like that to have honor. Honor the innocent and let them live their life and make their choices. There are always going to be some idiots who just like to prey on the innocent. Make them feel fear by making them your prey, just because you did not have a choice to animate that body you do now have a choice on honor. Do you think anyone in the world would stop you if you only targeted the worst of the worst and made heaven sure they did not come back? Think about it, because we do not just want the Blonde idiot and seer to bear witness. Tonight we give you a choice. Feed on the guilty like those who murder, rape, and take that innocence that is not theirs to take. I know from research that blood banks offer free blood to those who ask. Heaven... they make synthetic blood now through Stark Industries also. There is no shortage. You can not make up for animating a dead body because that is not your fault but what you do after we can and will hunt the unjust, the ones who do not hold honor. This goes for any daemons nearby who are listening. You do not need to harm the innocent, you want to. Continue to do so at your own risk, we will find out at some point if those with honor do not stop you." he stated raising his shield for all to see the skull behind the cross had horns.
A lone vampire walked forward "And what if we like the fear in the blood of the innocent?" he asked smugly.
Xander sighed and lowered his flaming skull head "There is always one idiot amongst a group who always has to ask... Fine you will be the example they witness." he spoke out clearly. Smirking slightly as he raised his head noticing every other vampire gave the lone vampire a wide berth. Slamming the tip of his sword in the pavement five pillars of hellfire sprung up around the vampire before Xander threw his shield. When the shield hit the first pillar a sharp clang sound could be heard before it ricocheted off the other four pillars leaving the vampire in the circle of a pentagram made by hellfire pillars and holy fire chains. Before the vampire could even speak a surge of hellfire and holy fire erupted from below him vaporizing him in an instant.
Catching his shield Xander pulled his blade out of the pavement and slid it into the harness on his back before putting the shield there. "Now you have witnessed you can not run if we wish for it, you can hide but we will find you. Those of you who know you are guilty and will not change ... you will not get away. Those of you we can sense have the capacity to change will spread the word. Sunnydale might be the home of the world's largest Hellmouth, we know this but now it has protectors who will keep the balance." Xander exclaimed, pulling the shield from his back once more. Throwing it to his left he sent it out and before long the whole of Sunnydale was circled by his ethereal chain before a pentagram in the middle was formed. A surge of energy spike briefly signals every supernatural being in Sunnydale that the riders have come.
Unbeknownst to Xander the moment Cordy and himself changed Shield took notice, when Xander caused every supernatural being in the town to take heed of the arrival of the riders, Shield was watching from above.
Xander caught his shield and re-attached it to his back. Smirking as the vampire who could leave ran while the vampires who knew they were guilty looked on in fear unable to move. "You amongst me are the guilty, those who were given a chance to run for another day have a choice," he spoke as he got into a fighting stance. Emerging from his knuckles three blades could be seen, made of seemingly the darkest metal swirling with a metal near the color white. With little warning, the Vampire could feel they could move once more but it would be too late as Xander was already amongst them, slicing limbs off and decapitating them. One Vampire amongst the half-a-dozen could be considered the smartest as he just turned and ran.
Cordelia turned towards Xander "You let one live?"
Xander smirked "They can bear witness to those like them. The guilty do have a choice also. This is that night they get to choose. Blondie, Miss Seer, You also have a choice, continue as you are and always look over your shoulder and ask if we are coming, or spread the word the riders are back to restore the balance." he said as Cordelia shifted back to her normal rider body as she joined Xander, pulling back the weapon next to Spike smirking as another his could be heard as the scar on Spike's face turned into an x.
"You have been marked prey, I will always be able to find you," Cordelia spoke as Spike and Drusilla stood up before running at vampiric speed out of the area. Cordy looked at Xander as Logan and the Phoenix came to her while Xander's bike walked up to him before shifting back to a bike. "We still need to get to Giles still to figure out how to stop this. Go to the nearest house and stay inside, we will stay long enough for you to do so before we need to ride again." She purred out looking at the group of innocents now quickly making their way to the nearest house whose owner quickly opened the door for them while holding a cross which got a nod of approval from both the riders before they rode off.
