"Firstborn." (cont.)

Chapter 6.


"Looks like we got company," said Xander trying to sound calm and
failing miserably.

Neither Mulder nor Scully saw them approach. One second the three FBI
agents and the two Sunnydale teens were standing outside of the
Rosenberg's house. And the next their group was surrounded by a half
dozen individuals.

Four men and two women, all had that look that shouted "Gang". None
appeared to have any weapons visible, but Scully knew the truly
dangerous ones didn't show their teeth until they were ready to fight.

Turning around, Brenner caught sight of their visitors. "Oh shit, not
now," was all the Sunnydale SAC could be heard to say.

Unconsciously Mulder and Scully moved to place themselves in front of
Buffy and Xander. First rule in situations like this: Secure the
safety of any innocent bystanders. Both X-File agents were hoping they
could avoid any trouble.

Cautiously, Mulder removed his ID case and showed it to the gang.
While they were distracted he slowly reached for his sidearm with his
right hand.

The instructor's words from his first day at the academy came to him,
"Confidence is the key. Do this right and your weapon will never have
to leave it's holster."

Ok, Mulder thought, here goes. "It would be a good idea if all of you
would just leave. We're Federal Agents and we don't want any trouble."

Curiously enough the leader appeared to be a dark haired woman. She
wasn't much larger than Scully and didn't look any older than the kids
that were with them. She looked at Mulder's ID and then at the people
in front of her.

Turning to the man to her right, she said in an almost bored voice,
"Get the Slayer, kill the rest."

With that said, the gang members faces changed. Their eyes took on an
erie yellowish orange glow. A rough bone like ridge formed along their
eyebrows and fangs seemed to sprout from the roof of their mouths.

Mulder barely had time to take all this in. As soon as her face
changed, the leader grabbed him by his coat and threw him over her
head.

Landing with a bone jarring thud Mulder fought to get to his feet and
make some sense of what was happening.

Suddenly something grabbed Mulder by his collar and lifted him off the
ground. That was when he got a good look at his attacker.

Vampires, thought Mulder. Scully is never going to believe this.

At that moment Scully wasn't bothering to believe what was going on.
Instead she was fighting for her life.

The gang's change had surprised her. Or more accurately, shocked her.
Scully couldn't move, her mind couldn't accept what she had seen. One
second the leader had tossed Mulder over her shoulder like a rag doll
and the next she had come after red haired agent.

That was when Scully felt herself being pushed out of the way. As she
fell to the ground Scully was able to get a better look at the fight.

Apparently after knocking her aside Brenner had tackled the woman
leading the gang. At the same time Scully could see that the two kids
were moving towards other members of the gang.

The boy had produced a baseball bat from somewhere and was using it to
block the punches of the group's other woman. Then, when he found an
opening the boy let loose with a swing that connected with the woman's
face.

At that moment another member of the gang grabbed Scully by her throat
and lifted her off her feet. This one was the easily the largest in
the gang. Well over six foot, he probably weighed over 300 pounds, all
of it muscle. Scully found it harder and harder to breath as he slowly
began to crush her windpipe.

She knew there was no way she could fight this man, he was simply too
strong. Frantically she reached for her pistol, as she did the cross
she had found in Willow's room came free and fell against the man's
bare chest.

Immediately smoke began to rise from where the cross touched and the
man cried out in pain. Letting her go, Scully dropped to the ground
where she drew her weapon and took aim.

The man didn't even pause, he rushed at Scully. Carefully she squeezed
the trigger three times. As close as she was, Scully could see that
all three rounds struck the man in the center of his chest.

And didn't slow him up one bit.

Instead he ran into her and knocked her flat. All Scully could think
to do was raise her pistol till it was pointed at the man's face and
fire. This time when the bullets struck, the man went down.

Sitting up it appeared that the two women in the gang had run off.
Agent Brenner was picking himself up off the ground and the boy,
Xander, was rushing over to help Mulder. But what surprised Scully the
most was that the Summers girl was fighting two of the gang members by
herself.

Scully was almost hypnotized by the girl's movements. They were so
fluid and powerful, she seemed to instinctively know what was going on
around her. Between her FBI training and being Bill Scully's little
sister, Dana knew how to fight. Buffy's ability wasn't the product of
some Saturday lessons at the Karate Dojo. No one at 17 was that good,
even if they had spent all 17 years in training.

Then before she realized it one of the men grabbed Buffy from behind
as the other attacked. But instead of being helpless the young blond
threw her legs around the attackers neck. After locking her ankles she
then twisted her whole body and the man's head.

Even from 15 feet away Scully could hear the sharp snap of the man's
neck being broken. Also she had no trouble seeing the man burst into
dust.

Wait a minute! People don't burst into dust, but even as the thought
entered her brain Scully saw Buffy perform some type of move on the
man behind her, throwing him to the ground. The young girl then jumped
on the man, took what appeared to be a dagger from the waistband of
her pants and plunge it into the man's chest. Where upon he also burst
into dust.

Scully stood there in shock for several seconds until Agent Brenner
walked up to her and got her attention.

"You all right Scully?" asked the Sunnydale SAC.

"Uhhhh, yes sir. Wait a minute, where's Mulder?" she exclaimed. Then,
turning quickly, she caught sight of her partner limping towards her.

"Mulder, are you all right?"

"I'm fine Scully, nothing that a few hours with a Chiropractor wont
fix."

"Mulder what's going on around here?"

"Well, it looks like..."

"PCP," said Xander.

"What?" asked both of the X-Files agents.

"The gangs around here... they've been taking a ... a new type of PCP.
It causes your face to look all funny and ...you...kinda burst....into
dust........."he finished in a quiet but strained voice.

Mulder and Scully stared at the boy as if he had grown a second head.
Brenner covered his face with his hand and slowly shook his head.

"Xander, in addition to being an FBI agent, I'm also a medical doctor.
And I can tell you for a fact that PCP will not do that to a human
being," said Scully calmly. "And in my rational, scientific opinion
I'd have to say that what I saw here tonight was a bunch of vampires."

Hearing this Mulder looked as if his eyes were going to pop out of his
head.

"Don't give me that look Mulder, it doesn't make this any easier. But
there is no way a cross is going to burn a person's bare skin and
humans do not burst into dust, ever."

Turning to Brenner, Scully asked, "You knew about this sir?"

Before the senior agent could answer, all of them could hear a moaning
coming from the vampire still laying on the ground.

"Hey Buffster, looks like we got a live one...... well, relatively
speaking."

The young blond knelt beside the fallen vampire. Grabbing him by his
throat she pulled him up till his face was but inches from hers.

"Ok, let's make this simple. Where's Willow?"

When the vampire didn't respond Buffy asked him the question again,
but this time she punctuated each word by back handing him across the
face with her fist.

"One"

SMACK

"more"

SMACK

"time"

SMACK

"where's"

SMACK

"Willow?"

SMACK

Spitting out a tooth, the vampire glared up at Buffy and growled,
"Fuck you Slayer!"

With no expression at all Buffy released the vampire. As he fell back
to the ground she pulled her stake from her waistband and drove it
into his heart. Wiping the dust from her hands, she was heard to remark
"I've never been much of a conversationalist."

"She also doesn't play well with others," added Xander.

"Look, there's actually a chance someone might have called in a report
about those gunshots. We should probably get out of here." With that
said Brenner led the group over to his house next door.

When they reached the front door Buffy excused Xander and herself,
saying that they had to finish up their patrol.

"That's fine Buffy. Just let me know if you come across anything
unusual," said the Sunnydale agent.

The young blond rewarded him with a raised eyebrow.

"Ok, anything unusual for Sunnydale." Looking over at Xander, Brenner
noticed the sad look on the boy's face. "What's up with you Harris?"

"I broke Louise over the head of one of the Fang Gang. We've been
together since Little League," said the boy as he held a piece of his
beloved baseball bat in each hand.

"Hey, you never know Xander. Mr. Brenner might have the FBI buy you a
new one."

"Yeah, how about it Bren-man?" asked the boy.

Looking at the boy through one raised eyebrow, the SAC replied, "You
got a receipt kid?"

"Damn. Me and Rodney Dangerfield, we don't get no respect." With that
he and his blond friend walked off into the night.
