"I can't fight them when I have to worry about you, Doyle. You should get out of here and let me deal with them."We were in quite the pickle, and especially me. It's not like I had vamp superpowers like the other three here. Rory's advice sounded, well sound tuh me, but he was the one chosen to be led by my visions, and I couldn't just leave him,

"Well, well, who do I spy with my evil eye? Rory the ravager. Fangdan let you out of his lap long enough for you to come here, and what? Try to fight all us? Don't think so, mate. Although you are bloody well welcomed to try. You know, my pet here told me that you have something that Angel had not too recently, so I'm thinking, it must be a soul. Is this some sick trend? Do you long to be like Angel? If you do, then you're bloody stupid and a lot more sodding sad then I recalled you being..."

We haven't seen Rory in ages. It was quite a surprise. He was still beautiful. I smelled the filthy soul on him, as Spike exchanged words with him. He was going to fight and try to kill Angel and Cordelia. Me and my sweet weren't going to let that happen. We were all family. We're supposed to stick together and that's what we plan on doing. Although, I think Spike was more in it for himself.

As we laughed, Rory attacked Spike. That made me angry. I stood back and watched as the two sparred. Angelus and Cordelia looked on. Rory was taking whatever rage he had inside, out on my sweet. Spike was getting him with punches and kicks. He was a dirty fighter. Then, Rory knocked Spike down really bad. I couldn't stand back and watch anymore.

I lunged toward Rory and scratched his face with my nails. "You disappoint me, Rory. You were so beautiful. A legend in your own right. Now, you have a dirty, dirty soul. Do you think you're better than everyone?" He looked at me with a smirk. That only made me more mad. I threw a punch, but he blocked it. He punched me and I flew across the room into a wall, falling onto the floor. I began to laugh, as blood came out of my mouth. "Rory's a naughty, naughty, boy." Spike got up off of thr floor. He was coming in my direction until Rory grabbed him and threw him back down. I got up, as Rory ran toward me. I managed to block his punch. I grabbed his arm and held it in the air. "Are you trying to kill me, Rory? You know better than to try. It's four against one, remember?" My fist went to his face, knocking him down to the floor. I walked toward Spike, wiping the blood off of my mouth.

"You disappoint me, Rory. You were so beautiful. A legend in your own right. Now, you have a dirty, dirty soul. Do you think you're better than everyone?"

I knocked her across the room.

"Rory's a naughty, naughty, boy."

I expected Angelus and the other bint to come my way, but they didn't. I definitely expected Spike to come at me, and he did. It seemed like he was going to Drusilla, but I clotheslined him as he went by and as he spun, I looked toward Angelus. I had to take care of this, because four on one, if they were all getting in, I wouldn't bloody survive, and I knew that.

I decided that Drusilla, though with the penetrating eyes, was probably the weakest link here and to survive, I had to kill. I went at her while Spike was down, and threw a punch that she blocked. I noted that there were stairways to my left.

"Are you trying to kill me, Rory? You know better than to try. It's four against one, remember?"

She belted me with an uppercut as I studied things and she then made the mistake of of walking away frome me and towards Spike, who was getting up, definitely ready to brawl with me, as was his nature.

I looked at Angelus and he seemed content to watch on, along with his girl, as I raced towards Drusilla. The look in my eyes conveyed that this was the end of her and I know that he didn't miss it.

She turned to me and tried to thwart me, but I managed to give her a gut shot and then pounded her in the nose, blood spilling out of her mouth and landing on Spike.

Drusilla started to go down, and I went towards her, as screaming, Spike lunged towards me. I ducked and he landed over me and as I got up, Drusilla charged me, and I caught her, and intending on only bodyslamming her for now, I slammed her down on the rails of the bannister and watched as she exploded into dust, part of the wood impaling her chest.

The look in her eyes was haunting. I remembered when Drusilla was sired. You couldn't do anything in London in the underworld without Fangdan or myself knowing about it, and she had been sweet and chaste and Angelus had ripped her away from that. He had made her crazy and as a vampire, she had lived that way, and now, she was no longer.

Spike fell to the ground. I expected him to attack, but his love for her was obvious. I had broken him and though I used to respect him, he was the enemy now and would always hunt me. I had to kill him and do it while he was mourning, even if it wasn't the way that I would choose to take down an enemy.

I watched the fighting transpire. I would have joined in, but this was just so much fun to watch. It was good for Cordelia to see this. She was a female, yes, but her powers would exceed that of most male vampires, in my estimation, and probably did already, and watching Drusilla, a small woman, fight so strong, like I had made her to be, was exhilirating.

Rory was no chump. Rory was too much for Drusilla alone, more then likely, right now, and certainly could take Cordy down, but this was a good lesson for her to learn. And besides, Spike was a former friend of Rory's, and now he was fighting and losing, and I couldn't get enough of that.

But then, the fighting changed. Rory's eyes gave away that we should have all been jumping him right now. Like the old sappy me, he really was possessed with a desire to do good and it made me want to vomit. It was so lame! Still, he was here to kill, and before I knew it, Spike was lunging through the air, missing and Drusilla was upside down and then she hit the stairwell, and the wood went through her.

I was stunned. I had sired her, and she was dust, made dust in what seemed to be an innocent fight and without weapons. This was real now. And it was time to mobilize. I knew Spike well, and though he was a big giant pain in the ass and though he was really annoying, I expected him to be on my side right now, but instead of charging Rory in a death plunge, as I would have expected from him, he fell to the floor, mourning Dru.

Even though it shocked me, and even though Spike dying had been a dream of mine for a long time, I knew that taking out the rage together was the best thing. Spike and I had both invested time in Drusilla and in some way, we both loved her, granted, me not as much as sappy Willy.

"Spike, get your ass up off of the floor. Are you gonna let this whitehat take out the love of your life and come after you without fighting for her memory? This isn't you, now get up and we'll kill Rory together!"

He seemed to react, and I kept Cordy close to me. He was up, wiping his face, wiping away tears and angry. I was angry and hell, I was in the mood to torutre someone and had been all night. I wanted it to be a weak human, but Rory would do after taking Drusilla away from us.

Rory looked ready as we closed in on him, Spike and I in front of Cordy. He had killed Dru; this was no fight for Cordy. Not yet. I wouldn't jeopardize her. Spike and I could torture Rory for hours before killing him.

"Now, you've gone and done it, Bronson. A fair fight, we could have handled, but this, this killing our Dru. You're gonna pay! I'm thinking, even though Spike might not like this, that hours of torture just might be the perfect thing for you."

Spike lost it and started to charge Rory when the door opened and bullets flew and hit Spike in the chest and in the face. I grabbed Cordy and leapt to the side.

The little cockney had went out and got a gun and now it was going to be hard to kill Rory, and he was going to get away with, for now, killing our Dru.

[cordeliaxxchase]

I couldn't believe what just happened. Rory killed Dru. I didn't see that coming at all. Everyone was in silence for a moment. It was pure shock. Spike fell to his knees on the floor. I gotta say, it was kinda sad. He loved Dru. Now, the love of his life was gone. Personally, I didn't know Dru all that well. It didn't hit me hard. I knew it bothered Angel, though. This was a girl he sired. He looked deeply pissed. I can't say that I knew how that felt. This was all still new to me. All I know, I'll be there for Angel.

Spike didn't move from his spot. He was still crying. I didn't know vampires actually had feelings. See? I knew we could have deep feelings. Angel's just all Angelus and feels like he has to be all macho. So, my feelings still brewing inside of me are ok. There's nothing wrong with me.

Angel tried to get Spike up. He didn't like to see him crying and not doing anything to Rory.

"Spike, get your ass up off of the floor. Are you gonna let this whitehat take out the love of your life and come after you without fighting for her memory? This isn't you, now get up and we'll kill Rory together!"

"Spike, Angel's right. I mean, personally, I don't really feel anything about Dru being dust, cause you know, when I was a human, you and her tried to kill us all, but I'm deeply sorry. I can see you're taking it hard. If Rory killed Angel, I wouldn't be crying. I'd definitely try to kill Rory!" Angel, Spike and Rory all looked at me. "What?" I shrugged and crossed my arms over my chest. Angel grabbed my arm and kept me close to him. I felt as safe as I could.

"Now, you've gone and done it, Bronson. A fair fight, we could have handled, but this, this killing our Dru. You're gonna pay! I'm thinking, even though Spike might not like this, that hours of torture just might be the perfect thing for you."

Angel and Spike walked toward Rory. Angel kept me behind them. Spike went all spaz and ran after Rory. The doors burst open and Doyle came in and started to shoot. He hit Spike in the face and chest. My eyes widened. Angel grabbed me and jumped out of the way. I looked at Spike laying on the ground. He moved and started to get up.

Doyle shot at us, and we ran out of the way. There were only so many bullets he could use. He ran out of his six rounds. We looked at Doyle. "Forget your extra ammo, Doyle? Even I know bullets won't kill vampires." I rolled my eyes. So, it was back to Doyle and Rory, against us. I was curious to see how this was going to end.

[laymans_hero]

"Forget your extra ammo, Doyle? Even I know bullets won't kill vampires."

I watched on, noting dat one of the female vamps was no longer in the picture, and dat dis Spike vamp had been shot in the face and had dove out of the window. His flame had been the one extinguished, by Rory, I presumed, judging by the way dat Spike was charging Rory as I came in, opening fire.

I pulled some extra bullets out of my jacket and loaded dem, Rory watching them, and me looking at dem, never taking my eye off of dem.

"Bullets might not kill you, but dey hurt like hell. Why don't you pop that pretty little head up and let me give you a demonstration, like I did to your buddy, Spike."

The gun was reloaded and I was willing tuh keep reloading and firing it until the vamps were either dead, gone, or so weak, that even I could stake them, let alone Rory.

Angel pulled his girl away from where dey were and over towards a hallway, and I fired upon them, but missed, as Rory followed. A door was closed and Rory went to open it.

"Should we leave now, or should we go down dere after dem? I feel a little better about going after them now that I have dis gun in my hand."

[rory_the_rage]

Spike launched himself out of the bloody window, and I couldn't believe it. I could believe that he had done that, even knowing his temper, after getting a bullet in the face, which had never happened to me, but I still couldn't believe that I had killed Drusilla. I had known her for almost a century and a half and had never had a problem with her and I get this soul, this potential new mission, see visions of the beautiful brunette and all of a sudden, I'm killing demons that used to be my friends.

It's not like I had a choice in the matter. It was four on one and Spike and Drusilla had come at me like they wanted to kill me. Still, as Angel taunted Spike to get into this and that they were going to torture me, I knew that I still had work to do and didn't have bloody time to think about what I had just done to Drusilla.

As Spike launched himself at me, I readied myself and then heard the door open and simultaneously, I heard gunfire whizzing by my bloody ears and ducked out of the way.

Then Angelus and his girl hid and Spike dove out of the window. I knew that he would be coming for me, eventually, but that was okay. One on one was different then four on one, or in this case, three on one. Doyle reloaded and fired as Angelus and his girl escaped towards a hallway. He missed them and they escaped through a door.

Things had gotten a lot better, as I got to the door. I put my hands on the handle.

"Should we leave now, or should we go down dere after dem? I feel a little better about going after them now that I have dis gun in my hand."

I answered his question by opening the door. I wasn't about to run, and as I went down, I realized that Angelus and his bird had gone into the sewer tunnels.

"We can let them go for now, Doyle. I'm sure that they'll be coming back, and especially Spike since I killed his girl. I think that we might have made things worse, but I do appreciate your help."

[shanshu_angel]

I didn't like the options, but with what happened to Spike....that had to hurt. I didn't really feel like getting shot and I was fairly certain that Cordy didn't either, so for the moment, it was time to cut the losses, even though, I really wanted to kick Rory's ass now, and torture him until there was no blood in his body.

Spike getting shot had to hurt, but I didn't really care about that. It was Spike, after all, but..I mean...the guy had just lost his eternal love, not that he could ever really claim her to be his over me, and then he gets shot in the face. Yao! This just wasn't Spike's noght, and with the gun in the little mick's hands, it really wasn't ours either.

Hiding behind the little chest wasn't good cover, so I created a diversion and led us into the hallway that led to the stairwell that went into the sewers. The bullets flew by and narrowly missed both of us, but we made it inside, and I pulled Cordy along with me, down the stairs, and ripped the cover off of the sewer entrance.

"We won't be gone long, Cordy, and running, isn't something that I want you to get used to, but sometimes, you know, you just have to pick your battles. I know a good spot up ahead to hide and if they chse, they'll pass us by."

I tucked her into one of the hidden doors in this tunnel.
