The End (II) (I took a lot from... yeah, just ‘Chosen’)


Among kisses, hugs, chats, comfort and a bit of healthy rest, the day ended and the fatal sunset came.

After taking all the weapons they could found and drinking all the blood they could drink (except for Giles, of course!), everyone was ready for the battle, although this time LES and GB hadn’t joined the other four vampires’ in the “All the ‘Happy Meals on two legs’ you can drink” buffet, choosing to drink animal blood over that.

Anyway, sleep hadn’t been serene for any of them.

The first had paid a visit to GB, wearing Caleb’s face, telling her all about his plans to dominate the world and its desire to be corporeal, and then it had shifted into the vampiress’, telling her that being the Slayer would only bring her one thing: loneliness.

Luckily, Buffy hadn’t paid attention to him, and then her Mate had woken up, too and that had taken her mind off it, and once she turned back, the First had disappeared already.

And what about LES? Well, he had a long series of scary nightmares involving a bunch of ‘evil’ shoes that made him sink... it must have been the stress before the big battle!

Anyway, they both had stayed up, but not at the same time, when one slept the other held the medallion in his, or her, hands, staring at it with diffidence.

They arrived at the school, Drusilla went into the library with Giles and they took the mystical scythe with them, as the other five went into the next door.

Angelus drew out a knife, cutting his palm and letting the blood trickle on one of the tips of the black star in the centre of the seal.

One by one, the other four vampires used the knife in kind, imitating Angelus’ actions, on each of the left tips.

The result was immediate, the five tips arose and the seal opened, allowing the five vampires to jump inside.

They wandered through a dark cave, finally arriving to a precipice. The image in front of their eyes was terrifying, thousands of growling Turock-Hans underneath, but luckily, they hadn’t noticed the five intruders yet.

“Pet, do you remember when I said that Sunnyhell was a bloody boring town?” ES whispered to his Mate.

“How could I ever forget? You keep saying that at every possible chance you have,” she rolled her eyes.

“Well, next time I say that again, feel free to beat me down!” ES added, with very concerned expression, thinking about what they would face.

“Right. As if I needed a reason to beat you down!” she sneered, but GB cleared her throat to make them realize that it wasn’t time for their passionate effusions.

“I’m not worried!” she exclaimed.

“No one asked you if you were, Buff!” Angelus made her notice.

“I’m not worried!” she repeated, as she kept staring down the precipice.

LES placed himself in front of her, pointing at the amulet that he wore on his neck, talking to her in a very low voice.

They had spent at least half of the day fighting to establish who would wear the medallion and face the respective consequences and at the end, to Buffy’s immense disappointment, Spike had won.

“Not to be a buzz kill, luv, but my fabulous accessory isn’t exactly tingling with power!” he commented.

“I’m not worried,” she repeated for the third time, as a mantra, but it was clear that she was saying a colossal lie. Hell yeah, she was worried.

“I’m getting zero juice here, and I look like Elizabeth Taylor!” her Sire kept complaining.

“Cheer up, Liz, if Dru and the Watcher’s spell doesn’t work, it doesn’t matter what you look like!” EB said.

“Is that supposed to comfort me?” he struck back.

But there wasn’t time for banter anymore. Their chats, although they were low in volume, had caught the uber-vampires’ attention, so they all were jumping up from the precipice to face them, and that made the colossal fight start.

************************** (In the meantime)

Giles and Drusilla’s spell went on laboriously, because it took a huge amount of energy, but after some minutes, they saw the scythe shine with a bright light that invaded them both, giving them new strength to keep the spell going.

*************************** (In the meantime)

The fight went on restlessly, they had lots of wounds, but the five vampires hadn’t surrendered at all.

LES had hid himself in a corner to concentrate and try to make the amulet work, but it was useless.
Two Turock-han had found him and were ready to attack him.

“Bugger this, I won’t stay here doing nothing as I wait for this sodding thing to do its job, whatever it is!” he growled, drawing out a sword and piercing them, one by one.

The First appeared in front of GB when she had just finished fighting.

It wore her features.

LES immediately joined her.

“Don’t you dare wear my face again, you, sodding bastard!” she summoned it.

“Is it better now?” Buffy/The First said, slipping into Spike’s features.

“Hell no, it’s bloody worse!” LES roared enraged.

Spike/The First rolled its eyes. “Whatever!” it exclaimed, becoming Caleb.

“Perfect. Now it will be much more pleasant to kill you!” LES sneered.

“Just how? You have eliminated just a tiny part of my army, so...” but then it stopped, starting to scream. “What the hell is going on?”

GB and LES understood what had happened.

“The spell is done and you’re slowing down, buddy!” LES explained.

“So, how does it feel when Good wins and Evil loses?” GB sneered.

Realizing that the spell had worked, EB walked back to the portal very carefully, returning to the library, where she found Drusilla and Giles, who were exhausted, but relieved that it had worked.

“You did such a great job, guys, are you okay?” she wondered, taking the scythe in her hands.

“Yes, I’m fine, but I’m not sure about her, she keeps talking nonsense!” Giles explained.

“Believe me, she is fine, then!” Buffy struck back.

“The music has changed, my dear, and new songs are starting all around. Can’t wait to hear their notes...” Drusilla said, as she felt dizzy and almost fell, but Buffy was there to help her.

“See? She did it again,” Giles made her notice.

“If only you had a Mad/English dictionary you would understand that she simply said that the spell is done, the new Slayers have arisen and she can’t wait to face them, as I can’t either!” she clarified.

“How can you do that?” Giles asked, astonished by the easiness with Buffy acted as Dru’s interpreter.

“Well, after five years of un-living with her, it’s just routine!” she smiled.

“Fine. I’ll go outside. I found the school bus and I’m sure it will come in handy when we leave town. Before you ask, I have already darkened the windows...” Giles explained.

“Great. Well, now we have a battle to continue, see you later!” she said, returning to the portal along with Drusilla to join the other vampires.

“You have stolen some energy from me, but that’s not enough to stop me!” Caleb/The First laughed, recovering from its temporary weakness.

“Hey, GB, I think that I’ve got something for you!” EB yelled, throwing the scythe to GB who grabbed it, rushing towards the uber-vampires and eliminating them with astonishing quickness.

While EB was engrossed by the sight of that scene, one of their enemies took advantage of her distraction, before ES could do anything to defend his Childe, as she stared with horror at the blade that had pierced her abdomen. ES blinded by rage as he had never been before, had already ripped off the uber-vampire’s head... just using his bare hands.

“Gee... why am I... always the one who gets bad...ly injured when...ever there’s a big battle?” she rolled her eyes with a last effort, before passing out.

ES took her in his arms, before she fell to the ground.

He examined her wound, it was pretty bad, but it wasn’t a stake, so some time and blood would help her patch up.

“I gotta go, take her somewhere to keep her safe!” he said to the others.

“We all should go,” Drusilla commented.

“What?” Angelus asked her.

“All the pawns are aligned, now they just gotta make the right move, but once the game is on we’ll be in danger...” she explained. “To survive there’s only a way/ We must leave and go away!” she added, clapping her hands.

“But we can’t leave them alone!” ES protested as they went to the exit, clearing their way.

“There’s no time for goodbyes, but don’t worry, they’re saving our world!” Drusilla stated, going out with the others who hadn’t understood the meaning of those words.

“Sunshine, I’m afraid that this sodding toy that Rupert gave us doesn’t bloody work!” LES snapped, taking it off, but before he could throw it away, GB stopped him and when their joined hands skimmed over the medallion it began shining.

“I got it. It’s not that only you or only I can use it, but only * we * can, * together *!” he explained, holding a piece of the cord of the amulet as she held the other end.

From the top of the precipice an intense bright light came out all of the sudden, it was as blinding as a thousand suns.

The light filled every space of the cave, destroying every Turock-Han that it touched.

The horrible creatures screamed in agony, as they died hundreds by hundreds, and then thousands by thousands, as the light went brighter and brighter.

Caleb/The First stared at the scene shocked.

“You can defeat my whole army, but you can’t defeat me!” it laughed.

“I can feel it, Buffy!” Spike smiled.

“It’s our soul, it’s really there…” she smiled at him.

“And it kind of stings!” he added with a grimace and nodded at her.

The two blonde entwined their hands and were startled as they caught on fire.

“Buffy, go, save yourself, this place is gonna crash down and you did enough, I’ll do the rest!” he incited her.

“No, you can’t ask me that! I love you... and don’t dare to say any crap to me, such as ‘No, you don’t, but thanks for saying it’, because I have showed you perfectly how bloody much I love you in the last two years!” she insisted.

“But don’t you think about Dawn, or your friends? Sunshine, you must go on for them,” he tried to make her reason, but she shook her head negatively.

“I don’t care about anything else, maybe I’m a bit selfish, but I can’t take think of the others right now, I can’t un-live without you. They can go on living even without me, I just know that. I love them, of course, but I love you more, so much more. So, I’m gonna stay, and you know how stubborn I can be!” Buffy smiled at him, with tearful eyes, as tearful as her Sire’s.

“Oh, pet...” he murmured and she raised on the tips of her feet to kiss him, which set their mouths also on fire, as a tear rolled down their eyes, falling on the medallion.

A new light, a pink one, came out from it, hitting the First and making it scream in agony.

“No, this can’t be possible, I can’t die!” the First screamed, before being definitely destroyed.

“That’s the real weapon: the power of love, our love...” Buffy murmured, as all the exits were inaccessible due to the fire that increased and the rubbles that kept falling.

All the building was about to crash down.

“Well, I think that it’s far to say, school is out for the bloody summer!” Spike smirked.

Buffy laughed, despite the drama of the situation. “That’s one of the million things and more that I love about you. We are burning, we are gonna die... and yet you don’t give up your sarcasm!”

He smiled at her and then looked around, pleased by the show of chaos and destruction that surrounded them.

After all, he still was and would always be the Big Bad!

“I want to see how it ends!” he murmured, hugging Buffy, before the flames devoured them.

--
THE END.


So, did you like it?

Lol, calm down, I’m just kidding, I did the same joke in Italian forums, ihihihi, I’m evil!
There’s only the dear old TBC, because, although the title was ‘The End’, this story can’t end like this, otherwise I would be the first one to strangle myself, believe me!

I know that now it looks like a tragedy, but you’ve trusted me so far... do you want to quit trusting me now?

I won’t let you down, it’s a promise!

I’ll try to update asap, really, I’m going to start translating right now..
