Triana frowned when the main door to the warehouse exploded, small chunks of wood landed at her feet, smoldering. She glanced to the banelings, "Make sure they don't interrupt her." She ordered, pointing to Faith who was almost done chanting, beads of sweat rolling down her forehead as a portal no larger than a night wisp formed and slowly began expanding.
15 banelings against 20 or so annoying humans, she liked her odds, all she had to do was fight off the vampire, the others she could handle by turning their magic against them. She moved next to Faith, watching as her body began to shake slightly from the strain of the ritual, the portal was nearly 7 hands wide. Faith was still crouched as she fell forward, hands flat against the cool, cement floor, the portal was 9 hands wide, 5 hands tall.
Triana's clenched her fists, gripping her staff as the one from earlier rushed forward with a redhead, the vampire and the blonde, whom she recalled to be named Buffy.
She met the four of them head-on, "Now!" The other blonde shouted and the redhead dove forward, Triana raised the metal staff (a rebar one of the banelings had called it) and blocked the blow from the axe and sword.
The blonde one who had tackled her off of Faith dove forward, rolling to a crouching position before lunging at Faith, the portal was open now, 9 hands wide, 9 hands tall.
"Fight them, Faith!" Triana ordered and Faith slammed her fist into the blonde's knee from the side, she smirked when she heard the distinct pop of something dislocating.
"Kate!" The redhead exclaimed and Triana's lips twitched before she slammed an end of the staff into the vampire's stomach, blocking a sword slash from Buffy with ease.
Kate was on the floor, attempting to fix her knee while the redhead stood in front of her, summoning a ball of fire, her hair slowly turning black from the roots, an unearthly wind surrounding her. Faith stood her ground, her normally brown eyes were mixed with a deep gold, "Faith... I don't want to hurt you." The redhead warned, looking affectionately at the fireball.
"You can't." Faith sneered through gritted teeth, "You're not strong enough."
The vampire and Slayer attempted to coordinate their efforts once more only to be blocked by her staff, she glanced back at Faith to make sure her new pet didn't die or something unfavorable like that. The now black-haired woman threw her fireball at Faith, eyes narrowing as it hit an unseen barrier, dissipating instantly with a hiss.
"You're cheating." The woman snarled and Faith rolled her eyes, sweat pouring off of her.
"It's not cheating... if you... have... the skill... for it." Faith forced out and lunged forward to attack only to have Kate flash forward, kneeling in front of the woman, hand up, palm out. Faith slammed into it, the palm of the blonde's hand connecting with her abdomen, sending her flying backwards into a baneling.
The tip of the sword in Buffy's hand sliced through her arm and she jumped back, glancing down at her wound before glaring at the Slayer. She ducked the swing of the vampire's axe and rolled out of the way of another sword swing, stopping next to Faith where she dropped her staff. Triana grabbed Faith by her underarm and forced her to stand, drawing the dagger at her side, placing it firmly to Faith's neck, drawing blood.
"Stop!" She ordered and the room went silent, "You're going to back off before I slice her throat open." Triana threatened, glaring pointedly at Kate, the now redhead, Buffy and the vampire.
They took a step back, "Mistress, what did I do?" Faith asked, her body shaking violently from not only the use of magic but fear that she had upset the woman.
"Move towards the portal, Faith." Triana growled and Faith took a step forward with her, "Back off." She snarled, tightening her grip on the blade as she grasped Faith by her hair, tugging her head back, "Trust me, it's of no consequence if she is dead."
Kate held her hands up, "The portal's open, you can go through to wherever it is you want to go. Let Faith go."
Triana's eyes lit up, "I don't think Faith wants to stay here... I think she wants to come with, right Faithy?"
"Yes, Mistress." Faith rasped, the blood flowing stronger from her neck.
"Would you prefer to remain here, Faithy? I'm sure I can arrange that... these people really want you to stay."
Faith shook her head, cutting her own skin slightly, "No, Mistress! Please! I'd rather die!"
Kate glared at her and moved to step forward but the redhead gripped her by the back of her jacket, "I will find you... and kill you."
Triana managed to maneuver them so her back was to the portal, "I don't think so." She took a step back and pulled Faith with her, fading into the energy with ease.
"No!" Someone shouted, she was certain it was Kate, the annoying one from Maelthra.
[Warehouse]
Angel watched in horror as the portal began to close, Kate, Willow, Kennedy and Buffy were already through. If it hadn't been such a serious situation the manner in which they entered would have been quite comical. Kate had lunged forward, diving through the portal followed by Willow who had a strong (and apparently magically glued) grip on her jacket. Buffy had gone through the same time as Kate, sprinting through rather than diving. Kennedy had already been in motion to follow but the moment Willow followed/was pulled through she had double-timed it and tapped into her Slayer speed, entering the portal in a blur. Shockingly it had been Anya who had followed the quad, sword in hand, verbalizing her hope that it wasn't a world inhabited by bunnies on the other side.
She had been the last one through, Giles ran forward, hoping to make it before it closed but it disappeared with a flash of blue, he dropped his sword and pulled his glasses off, mouth ajar, "Good lord..." He breathed.
"We have to figure out how to activate that portal." Angel grabbed the only thing that had survived the attack by its throat, it looked human and reeked of decomposition.
"What are you?" Angel asked, vamping out on it.
The creature let out a laugh before glaring at Angel, "You can kill me, vampire. My soul already belongs to the Keeper."
Giles replaced his glasses, his back straightening, "Oh..." He turned to look at the creature darkly, "We will not be killing you... yet. There are worse things one can do." He took a step forward and the Scoobies backed away, not used to seeing Giles act this way, the Slayers followed suit, unsure of what was going on exactly.
Angel looked down, spotting a gun on the floor, Oh no...
[Unknown Place, Unknown Time]
Faith grimaced as she landed on something hard, rolling across it, if she had the strength she would have searched for her Mistress. Instead she was forced to hope she hadn't been hurt. Her own body was protesting against any movement at all, it hurt to much to move after using so much magic in that other world. She opened her eyes slowly, spotting her Mistress standing, dusting herself off and tossing the dagger to the side.
Triana moved towards her, an almost kind look on her features as she crouched down, "You did very good Faith." She brushed a lock of hair out of the way, smiling softly, "Good pets get rewarded..." She whispered, running her fingers over Faith's dirty and bruised jawline.
Footsteps caught her attention and Faith tensed as her Mistress stood, she wouldn't be of any use to her if she were to be attacked, "Triana?" A woman asked, shock evident in her voice.
"Berdine... Raina... take my pet to the baths. She needs washing. Dahlia, Constance... I need leathers... and a new Agiel." The feet did not move and Faith lifted her head off of the ground slightly, "Now." Her Mistress barked and gentle hands grabbed her arms, hoisting her up, pulling her arms over their shoulders.
