Cordy's glow was better then any machine gun. Sure, her glow made the demons kinda weak and almost penetant or somethin' which made my machine gun and Wes', twenty feet to my right, all the more effective. But, come on, now, it was so much easier to kill these demons with our guns and for Illyria, Spike and Angel with their swords, because of Cordy

"Stay back wit me, Cordy, until you have your strength again, and thank you. That glow is the bomb, girl. It's makin' this easy. We're actually winnin' this."
I couldn't help but smile at Gunn. "Yeah, it's the bomb, but the effect on me isn't." I started to get up and he held his hand out to me. I looked and saw Angel moving forward. The helplessness began to take over me. I couldn't glow, yet. Angel wanted me to, but I need more time to energize. I knew he had to be a little upset. Too bad, buster. I just got out of a friggin' coma!
I swung my sword up. Me and Gunn caught up with Angel. He looked over at me. My eyes rolled, automatically. "I'm fine, Angel. Don't give me those pity puppy dog eyes. I'm a big girl, big guy." I smiled at him. A demon came up and I sliced it in half. Gunn was a right behind me. He ran out of ammo. I turned and he was reloading. Then, I looked back at Angel. "He's running out of ammo. We need to make sure he has some kind of a back up weapon." Gunn could use the gun as long as he had ammo. After that, he's going to have to switch up. We had to get back to the hotel to stock up on more weapons.
The demons were going down easy. Their angry was less, and it gave us the upper hand, but there were so many. We managed to only kill one third. There's still more to go. "After this is all over, I'm never fighting, again." I paused for a moment thinking about the life I have. "Okay, maybe not ever again, but for a very long time." Who was I kidding? "I think I'll just settle for a nice hot bubble bath." 'With you.' I kept that last part to myself. Being, this wasn't the appropriate time to get Angel all hot and bothered while trying to concentrate on killing. I mean, I'm getting hot and bothered by thinking about it, but I'm keeping my cool. Angel's a man. A vampire male. He couldn't keep his cool. God, look at him move. A demon popped out in front of me and I screamed. A shot fired at his head and it fell. I turned with my eyes wide. "Thanks, Gunn." He smiled.
Talk about losing concentration. I have to stay focused. It was nice to go into my fantasy land, even though it was for a couple of seconds. It took me away from all of this chaos. Now, it was back.

I liked that plan, although with the arrival of the Hummer's, came an even easier massacre for us. Even Cordelia could fight at this point. I started snapping necks as they were already glow paralyzed and now, they were turning around to see their friends being massacred.
Cordelia assured me that she was okay, and very soon, we all would be. This was easy.
"He's running out of ammo. We need to make sure he has some kind of a back up weapon."
Gunn had stopped firing, as had Wesley. There were as many heroes among us as there were murderous demons.
"After this is all over, I'm never fighting, again."
"You may not have to, well, at least on this scale, Cordy."
Driving one of the Hummer's, was a vampire that I knew very well. Rory Bronson. I didn't understand why he was here. I knew that I would keep my eye on him, though, as well as on Lindsey, who was still alive, which meant that Lorne was dead.
"Lindsey killed Lorne. He's over there. Finn's up on the roof killing demons. Faith is fighting with Connor, who I told to stay out of here, Giles is here, too close to Lindsey and Buffy is fighting with somebody..."

Plugged a demon and still had ammo, when I realized that no longa did I have to shoot the demons down.
Cordy thanked me and Angel, along with Spike and Illyria kept breakin' necks. It was great. I looked ova at Wesley and he had stopped the rapid-fire just like I had.
Two people were plowin' over demons in Humvies and I couldn't help but wonder why we hadn't thought to do that?
"Lindsey killed Lorne. He's over there. Finn's up on the roof killing demons. Faith is fighting with Connor, who I told to stay out of here, Giles is here, too close to Lindsey and Buffy is fighting with somebody..."
Angel started chargin' towards Lindsey, although it could have been Buffy knowin' the two of them and their pasts. There were still demons back there, and it might not have been the best move. I raised my machine gun again, seein' that Angel was about to get attacked.

I smiled. "I really hope not. I can't afford to ruin another outfit." Angel looked at me. We noticed that Gunn and Wes stopped shooting. I knew Gunn was running out of ammo. That worried me. Then, we saw two hummers running demons over.
"What the hell? Looks like some more people are on our side. Come on, you can't say you don't appreciate the help?" I looked over at Angel. All he did was stare. "Do you know who they are?" He knew who they were, alright. Angel didn't seem to happy. Then, he turned his attention to someone else. "Lindsey." I was surprised to see him.
"Lindsey killed Lorne. He's over there. Finn's up on the roof killing demons. Faith is fighting with Connor, who I told to stay out of here, Giles is here, too close to Lindsey and Buffy is fighting with somebody..."
I looked around. I saw Buffy, Faith, Giles and everyone. I saw Lindsey kill Lorne in my vision. He must pay for what he did to Lorne, but now wasn't the time. Angel started running toward Lindsey. He was on the other side of the street with Giles and some girl. I've never seen her before. "Angel, what!" I yelled after him. There was a demon ready to attack him, when Gunn shot the demon down. I caught up to him. "Angel, I know Lindsey doesn't deserve to live, but we can't deal with him, now. He's not important. We'll get him when this is over. You know he'll just only distract you and get you more pissed off."
The demons were still coming. As soon as I feel fully charged, I'm going to glow, again.

I appreciated the help, even if it was an evil and extremely strong vampire in Rory Bronson, along with probably one of his more powerful in the legion, driving the other Hummer. They could be talked to later, but for now, seeing Buffy and Lindsey was all that mattered to me. They were here, helping, slayers dying, and Buffy wouldn't be amongst the dead.
I rushed towards Lindsey and Giles and some blonde, moving close to Buffy and some black man who was fighting this way. Unfortunately, Rory and the Hummers hadn't taken out all of the demons, and getting to Buffy wasn't going to be easy.
I saw Lindsey knock both Giles and the blonde slayer, presumably, out and then he took the girl away, rushing away. I tried to charge at them. Anger boiled over in me and before I could go after him, a horde of demons showed up in front of us. I quickly killed one, to find many others snarling at only me, still wanting to kill me, the glow obviously wearing off.
"Angel, I know Lindsey doesn't deserve to live, but we can't deal with him, now. He's not important. We'll get him when this is over. You know he'll just only distract you and get you more pissed off."
He was getting away and it made me start pounding demons. Gunn started shooting and the herd of demons started to fall. Anger filling m,e, I had to protect Cordy and work towards Buffy and make sure that she was safe. More bullets filled the crowd near us and not far from Buffy and the black guy that she was fighting along side of. I wondered if like the Immortal, she had made another boyfriend in his absence. I couldn't think about that, though, as Gunn's bullets and even Finn's, weren't killing off all of the demons, and some were too close to us...too close to Cordy.
"Cordy, get behind me. You aren't ending up getting sliced up like so many slayers on the ground have..."
My eyes drifted over to Willow, dead, and Giles getting up and vomiting near her. I wanted to go to him and help him too, but there were too many demons around us, surrounding us in this corner, away from Giles and Xander that had fled away a litle before him...too many demons surrounding us, keeping me from getting my hands on Lindsey, or from getting to Buffy to help her.
We had drifted away from Spike, Illyria and Wesley, though I could see that they were all doing okay, which I would expect from those two and Wesley with a machine gun backing them up. Cordy, wasn't strong right now, but she did have one thing...
"Gunn, stay next to Cordy and shoot anything getting near me, but more importantly, shoot anything that gets by me and head towards the two of you. We're going to reunite with everyone else out here fighting demons, and then, we are going to kill the rest of the demons. After that, we can figure out why Rory the Rage is helping us and we can kill the son of a bitch that killed Lorne, obviously."
I attacked a group fo three demons, launching my sword furiously at them, hitting two and putting them down, but the third too had a sword, and in the air, our swords clashed. I engaged him, rage to finish this group off and reunite with our friends, filling me.

So much was happenin' and I realized how much I had missed Cordy's humor and freshness through the past year at Wolfram and Hart.
"Cordy, get behind me. You aren't ending up getting sliced up like so many slayers on the ground have..."
I stepped up and fired, agreein' wit Angel. Slayers were dead, otha slayers that we knew and cared about were still fightin' and we..the rest of us, were goin' to make it. I realized, though, that I might have had about twenty rounds left and I was so hurtin', that I might pass out. I circled around Angel, coverin' him as he looked around.
"Gunn, stay next to Cordy and shoot anything getting near me, but more importantly, shoot anything that gets by me and head towards the two of you.

After that, we can figure out why Rory the Rage is helping us and we can kill the son of a bitch that killed Lorne, obviously."
I did what he asked, and besides, the wall gave me strength, or support. I locked my left hand into Cordy's right hand, for more supprt and strength, as I covered Angel and kept my eyes peeled for anything gettin' by him. I took my hand away from Cordy's, and put both hands back on the machine gun, ready to fire.
"Cordy, the demons are still heavy here. The Hummers only made it so far, and they seem to have their power back. If you can glow on the crowd one more time, then we might be able to reunite wit everyone else like Angel said, and then, we might be able to go after Lindsey."
I briefly looked at her, knowin' that this was a brutal spot, but that her glow could help us. I pleaded wit her wit my eyes and then focused back ona demon that tried to get around Angel. I shot him in between the eyes wit one round, and then looked at Cordy.
"Sorry if that hurt the earlobes, Cordy, but I had to..."
Now glow, girl, I was seriously thinkin'.
