No Way Home from the_embattled

May 11, 2006 18:27

Taking our gut instincts, we went into the cave. We came to find out that this particular cave was like the demon lair. They were everywhere. It was a huge underground cave. A plan was laid out and we got to the action in a matter of minutes. I wasn't about to let these demons hurt anyone else. We came here for Connor. There were humans being held captive, and we were going to save them too.

Me and Gunn headed down to the demons and started killing them left and right. They were easy to kill, but there were so many of them. That had me worried. There had to be more where they came from, and I didn't know how long we would be able to last. My slayer strength was handy, but Gunn was a demon killing human. Would he be able to keep up? To my surprise he did. He had phenomenal strength. I was impressed. He had great skill and was a street fighter. Fred and Gunn were on the bridge and started to shoot at the demons. They got as many demons as they could down, before they came down. They were prepared with stakes and went at it.

After we were all done with the demons we looked around and noticed that the humans didn't survive. They must have killed them when we weren't focused. Another disappointment. I couldn't even save a few humans. This made me feel beat. Riley knew what I was thinking. I could feel him looking at me. I wanted to get out of here, but I wanted to go deeper into the caves. We had to find Connor and any other humans that were left. Riley had other plans.

"I don't know about the rest of you, but I think that if we go deeper into those caves, then we are going to find things much more hard. This feels like a trap to me. This was too easy. They're going to be waiting for us in full force down there, and I bet it's where we find Angel's kid."

"Well, I don't have time to figure out if this is a trap or not, Riley! We have to find Angel's son." Riley looked at me with a glare. I don't know what I was trying to prove. Was I proving something to myself, or trying to prove something to Angel? Me and Angel. We're over. He made that clear when he told Cordelia he loved her, in front of me. I don't think I was doing this for the right reasons. I think I was doing this to get back into Angel's good graces. For what? I had feelings for Spike, I think. It wouldn't change anything. When Angel made up his mind, it was made. Clearly, he's moved on. I've moved on, for the most part. But, that didn't matter right now. Right now, we had to find Connor. I knew that was important and that's the least I could do for Angel, Cordy, Gunn and Fred. They were his family. I had to suck my pride in and do this for them and not disappoint.

Fred was on Riley's side and Gunn was on my side.

"The way I see it, is we know where the demons went. We've been all ova the island and there may be demons around, but we know that they are here. There were more demons in here then in any other place, and Connor may be down there. We got the weapons. We got Buffy, a demon killin' machine. Come on, guys, this is a no-brainer to me."

"Come on Gunn. Riley and Fred, you can stay here or go back. I don't care. I'm going in there. It's the only way. We don't have time for plans. Who knows how many people they have captive. They don't have time." I started to walk away, with Gunn behind me, when we heard an explosion coming from outside. It wasn't a small explosion. It was a big explosion. All four of us looked at each other. We ran up and toward the cave entrance. I looked up and noticed it was close. Black smoke was covering a large part of the sky. "The helicopter."

I ran in the direction of the fire, not worrying if the rest were following me or not.
