Chapter 11: The Battle


They all stood together in a tight knit group. Watching as the four came together for what could be the last time. All of the plans had been enacted but two, and now they were getting together, becoming the family they were and had been since the day Xander and Willow learned about the creatures of the night.

Xander and Buffy joined hands and watched as Willow and Giles walked off to take their places. Then, turning, they walked to the Seal and the battle to come.

Buffy looked at the girls around her and smiled. Xander looked at his lovers and prayed that they would all make it out of here together. Then, pulling out her dagger, Buffy made the first cut and began to pass the knife around. Xander was the last to cut his hand and then, as one, they held their hands over the Seal and let their blood open it.

Buffy was the one to lead them all into the hellmouth as Xander brought up the rear. Like always, protecting her back. When they got into the hellmouth itself, Xander had to take a deep breath at the sight before him. His heart constricted and, looking over at Buffy, he nodded. They would win, there was no other way.

Willow and Tara joined hands and began to chant, while Dru and Jesse stood guard over them. In another room Anya, Dawn, Graham and Andrew stood side by side waiting. While Robin, Riley and Giles waited in their part of the school.

Every fighter prayed, and every prayer made the light stronger. Unknown to them, it fed the power of the manacles on the four joined. Dru looked over at Jesse and, seeing his fear, smiled. "Don't worry, Pretty, our Kitten won't let us down."

Down in the hellmouth the spell was reaching its apex and each fighter watched as the Ubervamps came running. Just as the spell took effect, Xander watched in awe as the world around him paused. The battle, even the vamps, were frozen in time.

A figure made its way to him, and he looked twice at the woman as she stood before him. "You're not Buffy," he said coldly.

The First smiled darkly. "No, I'm just me," she perkily said.

"What do you want?" he demanded, knowing that she was the one who had frozen the battle.

"I have an offer for you; join me. I will spare all of these pathetic do gooders for you. I won't hurt them or allow them to be harmed by anyone or anything. All you have to do is give yourself to me and my cause," First/Buffy said softly.

Xander felt something build up inside of him. It was the same feeling he had had just before losing consciousness, when he destroyed the First's preacher. "Never," he snarled, then let the power go.

The First screamed in rage as the power ripped through her. The battle began again, but then stopped as the warriors from both sides froze in shocked silence. The Ubervamps fled back the way they had come as the power of the Light filled the cavern.

The others watched in awe as the light struck the medallion around Spike's neck, which began to intensify the light. It struck the retreating vampires and they burst into flames as they ran. The cavern began to shake. "Retreat! Everyone get out! Move!" Buffy screamed as she began to push everyone to the entrance.

One by one the newly born Slayers retreated. Behind them were Faith and Buffy. Xander watched as the First Evil was made no more, before turning and walking to his mates. Angel and Gunn stood on either side of Spike and when he reached them, the four embraced.

Spike laughed softly, "I can feel my soul." He looked over at them and there were tears in his eyes. "Go before it's too late."

"This is our place," Angel said while the two young mortals nodded.

"Our place is here," Gunn told him.

"You are ours," Xander added.

The cavern began to crumble around them and the four huddled closer together. Just as they realized that they would be buried alive, the four felt the breath rip from inside them and they disappeared from the cavern.

Minutes later they heard screams of shock as they reappeared on the bus leaving Sunnydale. Dawn threw herself into their arms and wept in happiness. Clinging to them, they all held on tensely as they raced to escaped the crumbling remains of downtown Sunnydale.

As they raced through the town, Xander turned back to look as the only place he had ever been able to call home crumble into dust, and a small disbelieving laugh came from him as the Welcome sign collapsed behind them.

"Well, Spike, looks like the sign is finally gone for good," Dawn said happily. The listening Scoobies were silent for several minutes. Then someone giggled, and soon everyone on the bus was howling with laughter.

It wasn't really that funny and most of them didn't get the reference, but they needed the laughter to release the tension of surviving what they had. Only a few of the potentials were injured and Buffy had a belly wound, but no one had died.

"Looks like we survived Sunnyhell," Xander said, between chuckles.
