An Unimaginable battle taking place Part 2. From thepowerplayers
The interruption of the door being opened didn’t phase Spike, but Dawn turned to see who it was and when she did, Spike leveled her with a right hand to the cheek, which floored her. Normally, I wouldn’t condone, in a training session, somebody taking a cheap shot at my sister, but she needed to learn that when in mortal combat, though this fight with Spike isn’t mortal combat…to never take your eyes off an opponent and especially an opponent as dangerous as Spike.
That was as far as my criticism of Dawn could go though, in this fight. I had told Spike to go all out against her when Dawn challenged him after finding out that she was a slayer. I wanted Dawn to realize that though she was stronger and faster and tougher then ever, that she still might not be ready to go out and fight on her own, and I told Spike that if he won, I wouldn’t be upset with him, like I thought, but if he lost, I would be, because Dawn would be on my case about wanting freedom.
I didn’t believe that she would be as tough as she is, but I am clearly wrong, which I guess is a good thing, sort of. I’m glad that the training that she has taken has already given her the form to go along with all of the slayer power, but I know that if she wins, which up until Spike’s cheap shot, it looked like she was going to, that she is going to insist on me not tightening the leash around her, though, either way, I’m going to because there is no way I’m letting my sister get killed because her mind gets ahead of her skills.
She had dominated Spike until the last punch. She was smart, and didn’t overdo it when she took the advantage and the way that she took advantage was excellent, even by my standards. She went to the body, which is smart against any foe and her shots were stinging Spike, who loved pain and fighting, but even he was having a hard time getting up from her kicks and knees and punches to the abdomen and the few that she had thrown at his face.
I circled around the fight as Xander sat with Andrew and the two new slayers, who I would introduce myself to later, when not so busy watching my sister and my boyfriend fight until one of them could no longer go. I did my best to stay out of it and let the fight continue between Dawn and Spike.
Dawn shook off Spike’s right hand and looked angry. This was going to be a good test. If she reacted to her anger, that was good, but if she overreacted to it then Spike would put her down fast because knowing Spike the way that I do, he is not thrilled with how Dawn had handled him so far and he isn’t thrilled with losing at anything, even though I know that he cares about Dawn. She had beaten him silly so far and he was going to retaliate, which was another good test for my sister. She wouldn’t generally face vampires as strong as Spike, but he would keep coming and figure out a way in, which he is good at, and I wanted to see how she would react to that, and how she could take punishment.
Then again, she might just thrash him some more, which is good and bad. Bad, because Dawn will think that she can take on the world, but good because she is talented and because I’ll get to nurse Spike’s wounds, inflicted by my sister.
Dawn became aggressive, throwing a round of shots that didn’t get through and Spike was starting to get his swagger going, which I had first-hand experience with from fighting him so long and not so long ago.
