15. The Battle of Starbucks part 2

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

“Oh, this can’t be good,” Giles said, watching the battle taking place

The T-Rexes all roared, before charging into the battle. The Slayers responded by parting ways and trying to fight back against the giant reptiles, but were getting crushed or eaten. The Mohra and Gator demons joined the fray, slashing and biting their way through the Slayers as they tried to put up a fight, but were failing

“This is madness,” Spike said

Kicking a vampire off the car, he then spun around with a backhand to another vampire, throwing her off the car, as a Mohra demon leapt up onto the car, waving his sword. Ejecting a stake from his sleeve, Spike dodged the sword, before ramming the stake into the jewel in the demon’s head. It cried out as it disappeared in a flash of light. Looking around, Spike jumped over a steel pipe, before rolling down the windscreen, as the vampire swung the pipe again, smashing the bonnet, then swung at Spike’s head. He dodged, before punching the vampire in the face, then grabbing the pipe and stabbing one end through the throat of a charging Gator demon. It growled at Spike, even as the blood ran down its chest. Spike shrugged and elbowed the vampire in the face, before removing the pipe from the Gator demon and striking the vampire, staking him through the back, then spinning around and taking down two vampires

Illyria stabbed a Mohra demon through the throat, then spun around and beheaded a vampire, as a Gator demon lunged at her. Dodging its claws, Illyria blocked a blow and punched it in the face, before stabbing her dagger into its jaw. The Gator groaned, as Illyria broke its neck, before retrieving her dagger and blocking a vampire’s punch, spinning inwards and shattering his nose with her elbow. Throwing him over her shoulder, Illyria spun around, blocking a commando vampire’s slash and shoved him aside. The vampire spun around with a slash, only for Illyria to duck and sweep his legs out from underneath him. She was going to finish him off, but Non suddenly appeared before her, slugging her across the jaw

“You and I have some unfinished business, missy,” Non smirked

“Then we shall finish it,” Illyria replied, before punching her

Wesley kicked a vampire aside and looked up as a T-Rex bore down on him. Diving out of the way, Wesley whirled around, striking the dinosaur in the head with a shot of magic, before summoning a shotgun and firing away. The T-Rex snarled as buckshot slammed into its body, however, Wesley then had to avoid another T-Rex lunging for him. Shooting the dinosaur at close range, Wesley then blasted the T-Rex away with telekinesis. The first T-Rex charged at him, but two Slayers leapt into action, stabbing the dinosaur in the head with their swords, as Wesley nodded to them, before blasting a Mohra demon’s head off with the shotgun

“Looks like we’re missing out on a lot of fun,” Buffy said

She had just arrived to the battle scene with Twilight, carrying her Slayer scythe. The battle had spilled out across the streets, with bodies soaked in blood littering the streets. Slayers were falling in combat, despite their best efforts, as Twilight looked around at the carnage, a smile forming under the mask

“Why don’t we join in?” Buffy asked, “Don’t think it’s a private party”

From inside his office looking down at the bloody battle, Giles gasped as he saw his surrogate daughter-figure join the battle and a wave of sadness overcame him when he saw her vamp face on as she fought against her sister Slayers. Then, Twilight joined the fight and Giles was able to witness his strength

“This sucks!” Lindsey cried, “We’re getting our asses kicked!”

“At least we’re still alive,” Kate replied, shooting down a Gator demon

“Yeah, but for how much longer – WHOA!”

A T-Rex roared, bearing down on the couple. They dived in opposite directions, as Kate was the first to recover, whipping her M16A rifle around and firing multiple bullets into the dinosaur’s head. It snarled, turning towards her, but Lindsey ran under the giant reptile, swinging his sword and slicing its throat open. The T-Rex groaned as it collapsed, blood pooling around its head, as Lindsey grabbed Kate’s hand and took her away from the body. However, two Gator demons appeared before them

“Oh, this is gonna suck,” Lindsey said

Buffy blocked a Slayer’s sword and smacked her across the face with the handle, before ramming the stake through her stomach. The Slayer gasped in pain, as Buffy removed the stake and sliced another Slayer’s sword arm off. She screamed in pain, as Buffy pulled her close, sinking her fangs into her throat and drinking deep

“Love the look, B. you look a lot prettier now”

Buffy tore herself away from the Slayer to glare at Faith, who was grinning back at her, whilst flipping a dagger in one hand. A vampire lunged at Faith, only to score a dagger in the throat, as Buffy resumed her human face

“So, Faith, how’s your brat going? Will he cry when I tear his neck out?”

“Over my dead body”

“That can be arranged”

Faith slashed at Buffy, as she blocked and swung the stake, but Faith defended the move and punched Buffy in the face. Buffy dodged the backhand, before blocking Faith’s next punch and kicking her in the stomach. Faith staggered back, but recovered and dived out of the way from the scythe, as Buffy spun around and kicked. Faith blocked and lashed out with her own kick, getting blocked by the scythe, as Buffy spun around with a roundhouse kick. Ducking, Faith slashed towards Buffy’s stomach, but the older Slayer deflected her knife, before kneeing her in the face, then delivering a spin kick to her sister Slayer’s chest. Faith stumbled, ducking away from the scythe blade, as Buffy spun around and backhanded her. Recovering, Faith slashed at Buffy’s throat, while stabbing at the same time, but Buffy avoided both daggers and elbowed Faith in the solar plexus, before uppercutting her

Slayers were falling everywhere in battle, dying in their numbers, as Twilight’s army of vampires, demons and T-Rexes fought hard against them. It was looking to be a losing battle, until…

RA-TAT-TAT-TAT-TAT-TAT

Vampires, Gator and Mohra demons all cried out as they were gunned down. The T-Rexes snarled as bullets slammed into them, but shook the attacks off, at least until two missiles came flying down, exploding two T-Rexes in a shower of blood and gore. Spike looked up from pummelling two vampires, seeing about five assault helicopters hovering overhead. Commandos were leaping down from their copters on cable, opening fire on Twilight’s forces and pushing them back. Spike grinned as he recognised Riley Finn at the front of the commandos, shouting out orders, while shooting down any demon near him. A vampire lunged for Riley and got punched down, as Riley quickly staked the vampire, before shooting a Gator demon at close range. The reptilian demon snarled as it fell under the hail of bullets

“Things are looking up,” Wesley smiled

“Fire in the hole!” Riley shouted

Along with five other commandoes, Riley popped the pin on a grenade and threw it, taking out a large group of vampires. The helicopters fired down a few more missiles, taking out more T-Rexes, along with some Gator demons

“This isn’t looking good for you,” Illyria said, punching Non

“That’s what you think,” Non growled

Blocking Illyria’s punch, Non shoved her aside and headed towards the commandos, while draining the life force of three nearby Slayers. However, Illyria grabbed her and threw her aside, before kicking her in the face. Non gritted her bloodied teeth, parrying Illyria’s punch and backhanding her, then landing a crescent kick on her face. Illyria swung her fist, getting blocked, before sinking her other fist into Non’s stomach, then headbutting her. As Non swung her fist, Illyria caught her wrist, then grabbed her bicep, before planting her foot on Non’s ribs and yanking hard. Non’s arm was torn off at the shoulder, spraying blood everywhere. Non screamed in pain, as Illyria then used her severed arm to beat the owner around the face, knocking her down to the road and beating her over the head, then grabbing her head

“This battle is over for you,” Illyria said

She snapped Non’s neck so violently, her head was twisted around one eighty degrees. Dropping the body, Illyria turned her attention to the vampires. Meanwhile, Twilight was floating in the air above the battle and took notice of the assault helicopters. Putting on a burst of speed, he flew to the nearest helicopter and smashed the windscreen, before pulling the pilot out and holding him up so the rotors decapitated him. As the helicopter crashed towards the ground, Twilight flew to the next helicopter, flying inside and kicking the gunners out, then punched his fist through the pilot’s seat and out through his chest

“He’s taking out the pilots,” Riley called, “Stop him”

“I’m on it,” Willow replied

She flew into the air, magic crackling around her and her eyes completely black, as Twilight flew towards her from the third helicopter he had taken down

“Willow. Still heavy on the magicks?”

“It’s what I’ll use to stop you”

Willow fired a large barrier of magical energy, but Twilight flew over it, twisting around and flying towards Willow headfirst, flipping over and kicking her in the head, before delivering a twisting kick to her back. Willow crashed onto the road, as Twilight landed and backhanded a Slayer, then blocked another Slayer’s punch, before breaking her arm and shoving her aside. With blood running down her face, Willow pushed herself up on one side, before raising a hand at Twilight. With a flick of her wrist, she had removed his mask completely

“Angel?” she said

Angel gave her a sinister smile, before closing the gap in a leap and knocking her unconscious with a single punch. Straightening, Angel looked around at the raging battle, his smile still plastered sinisterly on his face, enjoying the chaos
