Devil's In The Details

“Xander, what did you do?” Spike said as he got closer. In Spike saw that Xander was murmuring something under his breath. Greek, Spike thought, Greek was never good. Spike wanted to rush them that he knew Big Blue would just crush them under her heel. He looked behind him and now and saw Buffy in Angel in attack mode.
“Saving us,”
“By killing an innocent,” Angel asked and Wesley looked at him and answered.
“I’m afraid you cannot stop us Angel, no one can. I’m not just going to stand by while we’re all destroyed.”
“You don’t know that Wesley, we’ve beaten them before, we will again. You don’t need to do this.”
Angel spoke to Wesley like he was a wounded child, but he knew Wesley too well, Wesley would stop at nothing if he thought he was right. Buffy came rushing into the foyer, she didn’t even speak she just rushed at Wesley but Xander grabbed her by the neck, but he didn’t use his hand, he used power that was now coursing through his veins.
Buffy was held their scratching at her neck trying to free herself. She looked at Xander to help her, he said came up and she saw his black eyes. . The invisible hand let go but she couldn’t move, all she could do was stare at Xander. Xander stopped whispering in Greek and threw what looked like rocks on the stairs in front of Wesley.
“Here, we need to do it here. We need to do it now, there almost here.”
“Who is almost here!” Buffy yelled and the ground began to quake, Buffy’s California childhood told her was just another earthquake, but there were no earthquakes in England. Wolfram and Hart were on their way.

“What are you going to do give them Dawn; you think that’s going to stop them!”
Buffy asked as she inched closer to Wesley and Dawn.
“No.” Wesley said quietly and Xander Allyria moved in front of Wesley. Buffy stopped as her two ex’s flanked by her.
“Xander, I love you, don’t do this.”
“I’m doing this because I love you.”
“Letting him kill Dawn is not loving her.” Spike told Xander.
“Shut up. You have no idea what I’ve given up to save us.” What he said made everyone stop, Buffy suddenly felt like something kicked her in the chest. Tears began to form in her eyes.
“Xander,” She whispered, “where’s Willow?” Spike and Angel looked at her; they hadn’t even thought that he would have hurt her. But as they looked at the power he now possessed it was the only way he could’ve done it.
“I’m so sorry Buffy.” He told her and Buffy looked squarely at Wesley.
“I’ll kill you for that.” She told him. Then she rushed them with Angel and Spike behind her.
Xander and Allyria protected him, Xander took Spike and Angel, and Buffy took Allyria. She wasn’t worried, she laughed herself, this wasn’t a first-time she fought a god. Angel and Spike came at Xander as hard as they could, but they couldn’t seem to corner him.
Spike felt like he was moving in slow motion, he was so much faster than they were. They felt heat all of a sudden, Spike looked around the entire mansion was on fire. Wolfram Hart, he thought, they were gearing up and he could hear this sound of soldiers on their way. Xander for a moment looked like he flew as he kicked Angel and Spike in the chest and knocked them down. He raises his hands to the sky and his hands came together like a thunderclap and suddenly the fire was gone to soldiers stopped marching.
“The force field’s only going to hold for 10 minutes.” Xander told them. They begin to fight again and this time Buffy turned to look over to see how the boys were doing. She turned just as Xander grabbed Angel by the power lifted them into the air.
“I just always wanted you know that I sent to do hell.” Xander said as he threw Angel across the room, he skittered slightly in the floor causing a huge dent in the plaster of the wall behind him. Spike flew at Xander, but even though she only saw it for split-second she knew that he’d been sloppy and that he was going to pay for it. Xander took Spike and grabbed his head and twisted it off. His body separated as Spike became a pile of dust.
“No!” But he screamed, Allyria smashed Buffy’s face with her fist and send Buffy hard to the ground. Angel screamed and ran at Xander.
“Now! Do it now!” Xander yelled as Angel ran at him. Dawn screamed, Buffy tried to lunge after him but Allyria held her back Buffy watched as Wesley’s cut Dawn’s chest open and blood trickled down to the carpet. The blinding light appeared in the front of Dawn, Buffy always tried to forget that light ever since the first day she saw it. Angel tried to use the distraction to take Xander, but Xander just tore off a piece of banister and broke its on Angel’s back of as he spun around him. Angel turned to engage Xander again but he stopped, he felt something was wrong. He could only see Buffy screamed again while Allyria held her back.
But what upset him was that he couldn’t hear it. He turned it saw Xander with a sad expression on his face. Angel looked down it saw the piece is Bannister stuck into his chest. Then for split-second he heard his mother song as he fell back to the ground and he exploded into cloud of dust. Buffy died, Buffy felt like she died. Her body went slack in Allryia’s arms. Xander wanted to console her but he couldn’t because he could feel his force field melting around them. They were coming and he didn’t have much time Xander slowly made his way up to the pool of light. He turned to look back at Buffy her eyes were dead as she was staring at the floor. He looked at Wesley and nodded, Wesley nodded back. Wesley let go of Dawn and she ran to Buffy. Allyria let Buffy go and walked up to Wesley.
“If he goes do you promise you will not die?” Al asked and Wesley looked at her.
“I can’t promise that but I promise it will be better.”
“How do you know that?” Dawn asked, and Wesley looked down at her.
“Because it has to be,” Xander answered in Buffy looked up in him. Xander jumped into the light and he felt like his skin was being ripped off. All he could see was light. That suddenly he was behind a huge great demon and he could hear Cordelia’s voice.
“But I have to tell Angel I love him.” He heard, the demon was about to speak but Xander chopped it’s head off Cordelia screamed in front of him. She looked up and saw very pasty version of her ex-boyfriend.
“Xander!” Cordelia asked and Xander nodded.
“Come on, we have to hurry.” He said he grabbed her hand and ran to the car.
“What are you doing here and why did you kill Skip?”Cordelia asked as he drove.
“Long story, we have to get Angel before his little nipper sends him into a watery grave.”
“Connor?”
They reached the bluff in Xander saw Connor with a redhead moving towards Angel about to strike.
“Hey kid!” Xander yelled and Connor turned around just in time to get punched in the face. It knocked him to the ground.
“Who are you?”
“Friend of the family,” Xander said as he held down Connor with his foot. Xander looked at Cordelia.
“If we ever meet again don’t ask me about this because I won’t remember and I probably won’t be a vampire anymore.”
Cordelia looked at him confused.
“Don’t worry about it; just go tell him you love him.”
Cordelia smiled at Xander and ran to Angel and he picked her up in his arms and they shared a deep kiss.
“I love you.” She whispered on his lips.
“I love you too.” He answered and he smiled. That Angel felt another presence, he turned to see Xander, and he slowly put Cordelia down. Xander smelt like a vampire.
“Xander, what you doing here?”
“Paying my debt.” Xander said and he let Connor go. Conner scrambled up and ran off. Xander turned and began to walk into the shadows.
“What debt?” Angel yelled after him. Xander didn’t say anything he just kept walking, waiting for the sun to come up.
