Chapter 7 The Beginning of the End
: Outside mansion :
"Lord Shaft, there are potentials patrolling the mansion, what is our orders?"
"Send in the Turok-Han's and eliminate them."
"Yes my lord."
The former rat now evil sorceress commanded four Turok-Han's to attack the potentials and watches evilly as they ripped and tore into the young girls flesh and as their blood poured out onto the cold hard ground.
"Now we can take the black witch, we are not to kill the others quite yet."
: Tara's and Willow's room :
Tara woke up sleepily yawning tiredly the young blond smiled looking at the form of her sleeping wife. Sshe quietly gets up, grabs a fluffy white robe, and walks out to go to the kitchen.
Heading to the kitchen, Tara hears an enormous explosion in the direction of the main hallway of the mansion and rushes to see what is happening.
"What in the world!" Tara rushes out only to come face to face with a group of vampires rushing in.
"Burning light!" Tara begins chanting raising her hands and produces a flash of solar light vaporizing some of the vampires.
Buffy and Sympha races out of their room wearing only t-shirts and shorts upon seeing the invasion the pair begins combating the vampires quickly Sympha turns to Tara.
"Tara something’s happening in your room, I feel a disturbance I haven't felt in centuries. Willow's in grave danger!"
"We gotta get to her now!"
Buffy and Sympha follows and runs to Tara's room seeing only a large hole in their wall and that Willow was gone.
"Nooooooo, give her back!"
Sympha grabs a hold of Tara and holds her tightly.
"Tara, we will get her back I promise you!"
Giles, Xander, and Faith races into the room all of them brushing vampire dust off their clothes.
"Where's Red?"
"They got her, the dark priest Shaft has her."
"Faith, get the others. We got to make a plan to get Willow back."
"You got it, B."
: Five hours later :
Giles paces around the dining hall, his head down his face solemn.
"We lost seven potentials. They were ripped apart by Turok-Han's, it seems there was some magic done to allow the vampires to enter the mansion without being invited and Willow was taken."
"Willow was taken as a message to us that the final battle will begin and that the dark priest Shaft knew that everything was in place for Dracula's resurrection so we must hurry. We must get to Transylvania to Dracula's castle."
"All right everyone, we are leaving immediately to Transylvania. According to Sympha, they must have taken Willow to Dracula's castle, we leave in three hours."
: Six hours later over Transylvania :
"Yo witchy hunter, what can we expect on this mission?"
"Faith, we will be coming to the closest to hell anyone's ever been Shaft will be waiting for us with monsters not seen before in centuries." Sympha cuddles onto Buffy's lap and watches her cuzin, who had not said a word since the attack on the mansion and the kidnapping of Willow. The hunter begins wondering what is going on through the young Wiccan's mind.
"Tara, we will get Willow back I promise you." "I promise."
: Castle Dracula :
"Wake up you little bitch!"
Amy rams her foot hard into Willow's side waking the young red head up with a moan of pain.
"You hurt her again, Amy and I will rip your throat out we need her alive and uninjured so that her mate will come for her."
"Yea yea, I get it."
"Come with me, Amy. I have a special gift for you an award for your service."
"Cool thanks, boss."
Amy walks into a dark featureless room and looks upon a lone coffin sitting upon a dark wooden table.
"In there is a gift of great power for you look in it."
Amy walked over, opens the casket, and with a jolt something grabs her arm and pulls her into the coffin ripping her throat out and rapeing her lifeless body viciously as her destroyed lifeless body is tossed out as a dark form rises out of the coffin blood coming from his mouth.
"Lord Dracula, with this gift you will gain partial life at least until the phoenix arrives and then you will have her blood and her partner's blood and will live forever and rule this pitiful world."
"Show me the black witch, I want to revel in her powers."
"Yes my lord."
Shaft walks his master into a room filled with a dark black bed and Willow laying on it still trying to help her ribs from hurting from the vicious blows she took.
Willow, lifting her head, looks over as the door opens and her face goes deathly pale and whimpers in fear as she sees that her powers are bound as the large menacing form of Dracula stalks over to her, covers her body with his own, and feels the pain of his sharp fangs breaking into her neck and his hands running over her.
: Outside castle Dracula :
"Potentials, I want you all to try to hold off the demon forces that we will encounter. It'll be extremely dangerous, so I want you all to do a two to two formations. No going off on your end."
Buffy turns her head to Riley and Sam both garbed in their black combat gear. "Riley, you and Sam follow behind us once we are inside start setting off some small explosions and use your weapon firepower to keep any of the nastys we might encounter off us."
As the gang heads to the front of the castle door, a loud sound of inhuman screams begin from where the potentials were waiting followed by the sounds of intense fighting and screaming from the hundreds of potentials brought in to help.
Buffy looks at her friends grimly and nods slowly. "It's time, let’s move."
As the group walks into the castle, they encounter a massive dining table above it impaled from crotch to throat was the wide-eyed nude body of one, Amy Madison. The gang looks upon it in terror and disgust and walks away.
Xander shakes his head. "Couldn't have happen to a nicer girl, she got what she sowed."
Giles looks over at the others. "We need to split up and look around, let's go."
Footsteps echo from top of the stairs and out walks a humanoid creature with sickly pale skin wearing a blood red robe the creature looking far older than anything the team saw.
"Hello slayers and hello to you hunter. It’s been so long, ah and the phoenix welcome to you, your mate is resting upstairs waiting for you. I am the dark priest Shaft grand follower of lord Vlad Tempest, lord Dracula."
Tara seeing the priest nearly bursts forth, but is held tightly in place by both Sympha and Buffy.
"Where's Willow? If you have hurt her, I will tear your fucking heart out!"
"Ah phoenix your mate is alive and if you can get past me, then you can get to her."
Sympha looks upon the dark face from her past, her face torn in hatred.
"You're mine, Shaft. You and me one last time!"
"Oh hunter, I'm afraid you'll have other problems to attend to first."
The dark priest begins chanting as two caskets burst out from the ground and the caskets opens and out of them, two individuals step out one a tall strong looking blond man brandishing a whip, the other a pirate looking man carrying multiple knives.
"You remember your husband, the infamous vampire hunter Trevor Belmont and your close friend the pirate leader, Grant Danasty. I have returned them to destroy you, hunter."
Sympha whose face went from pale white to red faced of pure rage screamed. "You fucking bastard, I'll kill you!"
"I haven't forgotten you, slayer or your little group. Allow me to introduce you to your opponents." With a spell three, six headed dogs leap out of a portal a giant Cyclops brandishing a giant sledgehammer and from top of the stairs, walk out five female vampires and a Minotaur brandishing a giant battleaxe and finally a giant bone dragon.
"These luvly dogs are called hellhounds and then next are a giant Cyclops, who dear Sympha knows all too well about and also my lord's brides and the powerful Minotaur and finally the crushing power of the bone dragon. I will take my leave of you all to your deaths as for you phoenix, come to me I will be waiting."
Shaft walks away laughing horribly.
Buffy pushes the group into a circle.
"Riley, Sam, get somewhere and start firing at those dogs. Oz, time to go wolfy. Giles, you and Xander and Gunn fight those vamps. Illyria, you got the bone dragon. Faith and me will fight that Cyclops. Angel, Spike, you two take on that freakin Minotaur monster."
Buffy watches as Tara heads up the stairs running after the dark priest.
"I'm coming Willow, just hold on." Tara running up the stairs to her ultimate battle.
Tara races from room to room and finally runs into a large room where she sees Willow laying silently and pale on a large black bed. Tara races to her and wraps her arms around her.
"Willow, please be ok, please baby!" Tara checks upon Willows vitals seeing that it was low, but the young red head was alive and from a darkened part of the room, the pale faced demon priest leader Shaft walks out.
"Welcome to my master's home, young phoenix when we first, when you and your slayer friend destroyed my master I was so unaware of your lineage, now I know your path. After you died, the order of the phoenix found your body and took you to their temple in waiting for the day you would be needed. I was hoping to get to you first, but well my priests underestimated the returning of the hunter, Sympha, so now you are here and now you must fight me."
: In the main hall :
Sam and Riley races across the room and begin firing their guns at the hellhounds that just seem to eat at the bullets.
"Sam, explosive rounds hurry!"
: In the cathedral :
The cursed looking remakes of her beloved husband and her dear friend walks toward her Sympha whose mind was to out of focus couldn't even get a spell off when the Trevor zombie striked out with his whip and cuts Sympha hard across her chest bleeding her badly.
Trevor strikes again, leaping up and raining down his blows to her as the lone hunter pulls out her sword and blocks it tightly with it.
"Trevor, my luv, stop this. It’s me, Sympha!"
The lone pirate running up the side of the walls begins throwing multiple knives at the hunter witch.
Sympha rolls from the barrage taking a lone knife to her hip and screams in pain.
The rose mirror of the cathedral explodes forth as a bat flies through it and transforms into the form of a young handsome man carrying a large sword and whom’s golden blond hair swinging from his head.
"I have come to aid you, my friend, my sister."
"Alucard, thank the Goddess you're here. Dracula is trying to be revived!"
"I know, but first we must send our friends back to their resting places. Forgive me my friends, I do this out of luv and respect for you both."
: Main hall :
"Yo B, watch out, that sledge whacks quite a bit of a wallop." Faith holding her ribs, gets to her feet, jumps onto Buffy’s shoulders, and dropkicks the powerful Cyclops staggering it.
Both slayers attack with speedily force, pushing the powerful monster back.
"Giles, don't just look at them like a lonely horny old man, these girls don't want to play suckeee with you this time."
"Xander, are you ever gonna let me off of that minute of error all those years ago?"
Angel and Spike continue to strike at the massive Minotaur's battleaxe as Angel rolls away the big monster swipes at him nearly decapitating the vampire hero's head off.
Oz races at one of the hellhounds, his werewolf fangs biting horribly at the hound's throat both rolling around on the ground like killer pit bulls.
: Master bedroom :
"So phoenix, let’s see just how powerful you can be."
The dark priest begins chanting, the floor bursts forth as skeletons with swords stalk toward Tara slowly, and menacing.
Tara, holding Willow close to her, begins chanting her own spell and a golden light falls upon them instantly turning them into dust.
"Come on Willow, I need your help baby, I don't think I can do this alone."
Tara watches as a black colored lightning hits the dark priest Shaft and only has seconds to put up a barrier as the lightning of dark energy slams into it hard nearly toppling her.
: Dining room :
Buffy flipping over the Cyclops putting her hands around its eye as the monster begins to buck wildly back and forth swinging its giant sledgehammer at anything around it.
"Faith hurry, I can’t hold onto it much longer, this sucker is rowdy."
The dark slayer seeing Buffy in trouble jumps forth, rolls under the creature’s legs, and slams her sword at an exposed piece of flesh as the monster howls in pain and anger.
"This thing is tougher than hell, B."
"We have to keep trying, the others may need us."
"Riley, we got company. There's a platoon of zombies heading toward us, we need to use explosive rounds to tear these guys up."
"You're right dear, switch it over, but be careful of the others."
Riley and Sam begin firing at the horribly decomposed zombies tearing pieces of flesh off their decomposed bodies.
Sam switches tactics, races forward and fires a shotgun blast as the upcoming hoard tearing pieces of them everywhere.
"Oh, this is so gross, I got pieces of them all over me."
"When we get through this, I'll give you a shower that you won’t forget babe."
Giles ramming his stake into one of the vampire bride’s chest turning it into dust as Xander fights to keep one from biting his throat out.
"Giles, I need help here!"
Giles rushing to the young man, rams his stake into the bride's back, piercing her black heart and watches as it turns to dust.
"Thanks Giles, I thought I was lunch."
"All for a friend, Xander, all for a friend."
: Cathedral :
Sympha flips back, her sword out and barely blocks a knife shot from the pirate Grant.
"Alucard, I can’t get time to produce a spell, they are too fast."
The vampire son of Dracula slams his sword into the mystical whip of the vampire hunter, Trevor Belmont, pushing with all his strength to gain control of his battle.
"We must switch opponents, Sympha, you take Trevor and I'll take Grant." With that, Alucard slams his foot into the chest of the vampire hunter and turns into fog and reforms in human form attacking the pirate.
Sympha leaps at the vampire hunter, her late husband.
"I'll find a way to get you back to rest, I promise."
Buffy thrown across the room finds herself hitting the wall hard and lays out cold by the extreme power of the Cyclops, meanwhile Faith rushes head on toward the monster and unleashes a series of deadly kicks and punches at the monster herself.
"Ohhh, what the hell hit me?" Buffy slowly shakes the dizziness and spots from her eyes and strikes out at the monster while its back is turned on her taking its head clear off and then collapsing to the ground.
Faith rushes to the fallen slayer. "B, just rest your gonna be ok, just hold on."
Illyria grabbing the tail of the giant bone dragon is swung back and forth by its power hitting wall to wall.
"Your strength is great, but mine is greater." The blue haired former demon grabs her footing and throws the dragon through the wall with such powerful force that the creature explodes in pieces.
Angel and Spike begin slashing and thrusting against the giant bull looking monster each holding their own against the massive power of the Minotaur monster.
"Blimey hell, this thing is tougher than a week listening to you bitch and moan and uglier than your wardrobe, Angel."
"Enough bitching Spike, help me here."
As the giant monster spins his axe at the souled vampires, Angel and Spike rolls out of the way and the giant axe gets embedded into the hard stonewall.
"Now Spike, we have to hit both together."
Spike rams his sword up and slashes through the monsters back as Angel cuts through the chest of the creature.
"Are you well?" Illyria strode's toward the injured vampires.
"Just peachy Blue, fucker nearly gave me a new hairstyle, but I'm all good."
Angel holding his badly hurt arm limps over to the two.
"We need to get to Buffy and the others come on."
"Sam, do we have any incinerator bombs left?"
"Two more. I'll throw it at these walking dead guys and see if they can be toasted."
Sam throws one to Riley and they both toss it at the upcoming zombies bursting them into flames as the two soldiers watch as the zombies fall down burnt to a crisp.
"Well G-man, that's the last of those vamp babes. You doing ok?"
"I feel, I'm getting too old for this at my advanced age."
"At least this time, they didn't try to nuzzle you to death."
"Yes, good good, let’s get to the others."
"Onward!"
: Cathedral :
Sympha rolls out of way as Trevor throws a dagger hitting her in the shoulder the hunters witch screams in pain and let’s loose a spell of fire at him as he rushes behind a column.
"Trevor, I'm gonna help you even if it kills me!"
Alucard turns into a wolf and leaps onto the pirate Grant, growling and biting at him viciously as the pirate stabs his blade into the vampire prince's side.
The prince jump off and returns to his human shape and tosses a spell of fire at the pirate throwing him through a wall.
"I'm sorry my old friend, but time is short and I must stop that insane priest from resurrecting my father."
: Main bedroom :
Willow beginning to come to hear the sound of thunder and the feel of flesh around her at first she feels fear, but quickly settles into calmness when she feels the bond and power of her luver Tara holding her close.
"Tara, is that you?"
"Yes baby I'm here, and we are in trouble. I'm weakening fast, Shaft's magic is too much for me."
"But not for us baby, we can do anything together." The red head puts her hands over Tara's and kisses Tara deeply as she shares her energy her life force to her mate, her luver, her wife, her soulmate and from that energy comes a light of pure blinding light leaping out and slamming into the dark priest making him howl in pain as he begins to be torn apart by the light of pure luv and pure good and then he is gone.
"It's over baby, we won, we won." Tara smiles at the exhausted red head and then dissipates the field and holds Willow tightly.
"Let's go home, Willow." Tara helps up the injured redhead. Fog appears behind Tara and materializes into the form of a man in a black cloak and Tara feels horrendous pain as fangs tear into her neck and the young witch falls to the ground in a bloody heap as Willow screams in anguish at the sight of her fallen luver.
"Now young one, I will rule all."
Sympha, beginning to feel Tara's pain and gasps. "Oh no, it’s happening. I have to stop him now."
"Alucard, I need backup while I do an extremely powerful spell, it’s our only shot to end this quickly."
Without hearing his reply, Sympha sits on the floor and begins chanting closing out all the sounds of the furious battle. Sympha begins to open a portal of light and unleashes it onto her old friends and seeing it. She cries as it closes, leaving just herself and Alucard alone.
"What did you do?"
"I sent them to the afterlife, but I'm afraid it’s all but killed me. I don't think I'm gonna make it."
The young vampire walks over and slashes his hand. "Here Sympha, you won’t have much time, but I can give you my blood to gain some life. If you don't hurry, your life will be dammned."
"How long do I have?"
"Just before sunrise."
"Do it, we must stop Dracula."
He lifts his hand to her lips and she drinks from it as she screams as the blood's effects begins to conflict with her soul.
"I'm ok I'm ok, we gotta hurry."
Both Sympha and Alucard beginning running up the stairs and head to the master bedroom when she comes face to face with her oldest enemy.
"My son and the hunter, it has been some time. Now you can see my becoming a god of this world."
"Father, we will stop you I swear it!"
"You dare to defy me child! So be it. "
The king of the vampires arises, begins changing into a horned demon looking a lot like the devil, and fires molten blast of fire at the two heroes’.
"Sweet goddess don't desert me now, give me the power to fight my nightmare!"
With that, a golden shield arises and holds up against the hells fire, but it eventually breaks through and throws the hunter across the room leaving her on the ground as he drops the ceiling on the young witch.
Father and son begin fighting brutally, sword-to-sword slashing each other.
"Your time among the humans have made you weak, son."
"You are wrong father, your dark ambitions and your vengeance against humanity has rotted your being. I will stop you or die trying."
Sympha opening her eyes glances upon Willow holding Tara close to her.
"Sympha, she’s dead. He killed her, he killed my baby!"
"No, I won’t let her die!" Sympha begins casting a spell, her final spell. For she knows that this spell will end her life, but knowing if she does nothing she will be dammed to a vampire she reaches out with her bloody hand and holds Tara's hand.
Tara opens her eyes and looks upon the hunter with sad eyes.
"Tara, take my sword and strike him down, hurry"
Tara takes the sword and races at the vampire lord and rams it into his chest, as he turns around mouth agaped as he turns into bones.
Alucard getting to his feet looks upon the massive pile begins bagging up the bones. "These must be hidden in a holy place, I hope your slayer friends can do that. I'm afraid Sympha's wounds are terminal.”
The door bursts open as Buffy and the rest race in. Buffy seeing the mangled body of her luver runs to Sympha and begins crying.
"My luv, I'm so glad I met you. I can now rest in peace, don't be sad for me, I luv you." With that, Sympha's eyes close and she falls limply in the slayers arms.
To be Concluded in a Funeral for a Friend and a Future to be Told.
