Before Doc could answer my question about the armour, a gang of demons at least twenty strong, materialised (literally) right in front of us.
"Oh, great. I havent killed anything in a full five minutes." I snapped bitterly as i drew a knife out of my boot.

'Is there such a thing as a damn break anymore?'
I roughly shoved my hands out and shattered a large demon in front of me sensing Mai and Doc on either side of me as we continued to fight the bastards off.
One charged me and I kicked out with my right leg just as he got in reach, propelling him backwards and leaving me time to whirl the dagger from my jeans and spin it frisbee style into his unsuspecting neck.

"I... have had... ENOUGH!" Lightening crackled from my Soul Saber as the demons fell.
"What the hell was that?" Maya demanded.
"Master Wong was the avatar of Raiden," I explained as we moved off.
"The..." Nicki began.
"In here," I led them into a garage I owned. "We'll need some wheels," I switched the lights on, reveling a car covered in a sheet. I quickly pulled the sheet of revealing a classic '81 model Pontiac Transam. "In."
((Think KITT from the old Knightrider series and you've got. Just without the gadgets.))

The figure watched the humans from atop the building. Watched as they clambered into one of their machines and drove away, heading to one of their sanctuaries no doubt. Good thing there were no cops here anymore, otherwise they would get a speeding ticket.
The figure turned away from the street, and all of a sudden it was revealed that the building the figure was standing on was over 50 stories tall.
Rain-bow highlighted bangs flew into eyes as a foul wind blew. With a slender hand, the blonde, red, and brunette strands of hair were pulled back with the rest of a mane of solid black. Rainbow eyes looked up at the sky, seeing past the dark clouds into something no mortal, even a supernatural one, could see.
Taking a breath, the figure sighed. They would need protection. Maybe not help, but definitely protection.
She walked to the edge of the building again and looked down at the streets, easily finding the black transam despite being several hundred miles from them, by height if not lateral distance.
X looked up into the sky once more and sighed a final time before looking back down. Then she simply stepped off the 50-story building.

My head whipped round to look out behind the car. Nicki frowned,
"You ok?" She asked. I shook my head vaguely, but not in answer, and she knew it.
"I... i just felt something." I murmured, "Something strong... But..."
"But?" Doc asked.
"But... i dont know if it was evil or not."
"You dont know?"
"Couldn't tell." I said, turning back round with a deep set frown.

I gave a small shrug and sniffed, the scent of something involuntarily catching my nose. Damn senses
'Something is near and from what I can tell I'd underline the thing'
'Can you tell the evilness factor either?'
'Well it's not evil evil but it doesn't seen good good. It's hard to put my finger on it but it's familiar? Not a good word... It's just there'

'They're good,' Willow observed.
'A little too good if you ask me,' Xander responded as he saw the werewolf turn and sniff the air outside of the black car as it sped along the highway.
'I'll tell you what's good,' Buffy told the rest of them, 'That Slayer. Not only can she sense the cloaked demon but she picked up a ping off of us. Faith and I could only do that when we were especially . . .'
'Horny?' Anya inserted.
Growling out her annoyance at the stupid ex-demon now-dead-soul, Buffy finished her sentence, 'No! Gawd, is that ALL you think about? Only when our senses were especially strong and there were more demons to slay, and...'
'And you both got hungry and horny right? Xander told me about that,' Anya inserted again.
Growling again, and ignoring Xander's embarrassed pleas of forgiveness, she trudged on, '...COULD WE SENSE EACH OTHER THE SAME WAY WE SENSE VAMPS!'
'Oh, well that makes sense,' Willow observed.
'Can any of them sense us now?' Xander wanted to know.
'No,' Tara answered, 'There's a masking spell in place now, and we've confirmed that we're now upwind of the werewolf's senses. Unfortunately, that cloaked demon, which I think they all know by the way, is downwind and close enough that the Slayer could sense it.'
X took a closer look at the invisible blank entity. 'Oh,' Buffy observed, sounding disappointed, 'It's just that Slayer that got turned a few centuries back. She's no threat, but still, we can take her.'
'Yeah, but all the same, let's not test that right now this very instant, or any of the near future. We have a job to do, and that's protect these kids until they can get us all out of this mess. I still can't believe we're letting a bunch of kids save OUR asses though.' Xander explained to the rest.
There was a general concensus and X, leaping between the buildings with more skill and ease than Spiderman could pull off, took a little more care in not being seen or otherwised sensed. Especially not by the few demons that she came across and completely obliterated in a single, quiet, second each.

I whipped around again, starrign intently out of the back, and shaking my head,
"Damn it!" I snapped angrily.
"You still feeling it?" Nicki asked.
"Oh yeah." I replied. "It's like... y'know when you cant quite remember something, but you know it's meant to be there, you just cant quite reach it? It feels like that- i can feel it, but not enough to have the slightest clue what it is!"
"Cool it, Mai." Doc soothed, "We'll be there in a minute, and once we're at the Dojo, i dont think there is much that could take us by surprise."
"Not sucessfully anyway." I agreed, cheering up a little.

"Tell them to relax. It's a friend. Five to be precise."
"Could you be more cryptic?" I complained. Mai and Nicki looked at me in confusion. "Alright, what Maya's sensing is a friend. Five, if my future self isn't loosing his mind."
"Oh, ha ha."
"Um, Doc?" Nicki said. "You missed the turn off."
"No I didn't," I siad, going to the garage for the building behind the Dojo. "Des and me bought it out. My van's down here, so we can transport weapons. Plus, it's got armour."
((Okay, Joshua, question. How did X get here?))

(((See the Fan section, I posted X's story, history etc all there. And we *are* dealing with space/time magicks are we not? She got sucked in from her dimension. Remember that comic mini-series that went with the X-Box game of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Chaos" or whatever the title was. There was a Vampire Tara and the little Puppet demon hunter and a whole bunch of other stuff just showing up and causing general chaos. X is the only way I could think of getting involved in this storyline, since Joshua is back at the Training Center and staying there.)))
X stopped just above the Dojo, by about twenty stories, staying on the roof of the building next to it and decided to wait while the kids, as she and her base-personalities thought of them, went around the block in the transam.
Keeping an eye out, she wasn't surprised that there were others around the area, but not all of them were demons. Deciding to wait, X just sat down and began to meditate, giving herself some inner peace while her innerselves talked among themselves.

((Ah. Chaos Bleed. Gotcha.))
"Move it ladies," I said. "we're on a schedule here."
"Jer whol, herr commandant," Nicki muttered as we made it to my inner sanctum.
"Alright," I muttered, opening on of the minor vaults. I went to a side closet, opening the door. "Mai, this is yours. But you already know that. Nick Nack, come with me," I led Nicki to my forge room, opening the door. "I've been working on this since I got the forge," I said pulling a sheet of the table in the corner. "I finished just before all this finished. It was going to be a birthday present, but, well..." I handed her what seemed to be a dagger with some very familiar words on it.
'The light within shall defeat the darkness.'
"A Soul Saber?" She breathed.
"Happy birthday, Nick Nack.
((Tell me if you don't like the nick name and I won't use it.))

A grin broke out on my face as I jumped on Doc and threw my arms around him
'Oh my god thank you D! This has to be the best present ever... It's so beautiful'

"C'mon, Nick Nack," i said with a grin. "Let's go get some goodies." I walked over toteh main vault, Nicki in tow. "In case of emergancy, kick ass," i muttered, staring into the retina scanner. Nicki gasped as the door opened. "Like I said earlier," I said, gestuing to the vault full of heavy artillery and futuristic looking weapons, "Upstairs are the toys. This, is the hard core."
