Chpt3: Vengeance

The colonel had left for DC earlier that day, the rest of the 
initiative were to report there in a week for debriefing, the entire 
project had been scrapped before it got under way. Now the forty 
remaining Commandos stood at what use to be the entrance to their 
complex, which was soon to be filled with concrete and the events of 
the past few days forgotten , the deaths of their comrades would be 
written off by the bureaucrats as if it had never happened. All 
because something had come and destroying all the research and 
releasing the vampires, they were not sure what had done it but they 
had a week before they had to report to DC and they were going to 
find whoever or whatever had done this.

A group of vampires rapidly made their way through the darkness 
towards the campus, they minds were focused on one thing, vengeance. 
The blonde vampire in the front smoked a cigarette as he walked, his 
mind wasn't focused towards the commandos that had imprisoned him 
like the others, but filled with thoughts of the slayer and her 
precious little friends. Oh how they had annoyed him, he was unable 
to do anything about it when he was temporally incapacitated, but now 
all that had changed and he had several threats he wished to make 
good on. He had hoped the master would let him go after the slayer, 
but that was not the case, She was the masters. His face suddenly 
developed an evil smirk, yes the master would deal with the slayer 
but her friends were another story, he just couldn't decide who
would 
be first. That however would have to wait for the appointed time, 
dealing with these commodes would be enough, for now.

Buffy and Angel were patrolling the cemetery when three vamps jumped 
out from behind some headstones and charged at Angel. Angel 
connected with a left hook on the first one to reach him and Buffy 
intercepted one of the others and greeted him with a series of quick 
punches and jabs. She then followed it up with a round house kick 
that sent him flying backwards. Angel greeted the third vampire with 
a elbow to the chest followed by a leg sweep that put him on the 
ground. Then the first vamp managed to tackle him knocking him to 
the ground. Buffy grabbed a stake and tossed it through the air as 
the vampire she had nailed with the round house as he regained his 
balance. The stake was right on target and he instantly turned to 
dust. She saw that angle was wrestling with one of the vamps on the 
ground and that the other one was rushing to help fight him. She 
knocked the vamp down with a forearm accrosed the chest as he ran to 
the other vamps aid. She then produced Mr. Pointy and staked him 
before he could get back up. She looked over in Angles direction 
just in time to se the brooding vamp stake his foe. She helped Angel 
up and they resumed their patrol. As they left the area a figure 
seemly stepped out of nowhere and watched as they departed. Vlad 
could hardly believe what he had just witnessed, one of his own had 
betrayed their kind and was aiding the slayer. He clutched his 
ancient fist in anger, he had not felt this enraged in centuries. 
<This traitor must die and he must die soon>, Vlad`s eyes were
filled 
with fury as he walked off in the direction opposite of the way the 
slayer and the traitor had went.

.
The initiative had divided up into eight, five man teams and now was 
actively patrolling the campus. Team one spotted a vampire and had 
carefully worked their way to within a hundred yards of him thinking 
that he had not noticed them. They were ready to open fire on him 
when the blonde vampire turned around facing them, "Nice of you
to 
join us, mates" said Spike.

As he finished the sentence the group was jumped from both sides, 
they had been lead into an ambush. They tried to turn and get a shot 
at their attackers but the vamps had to much of a head start on them 
and it was over in just a mater of a few quick seconds.

Buffy and Angel had encountered two more vampires as they were 
leaving the cemetery to go check out the campus. Buffy caught one 
of the vamps with a good right cross knocking him to the ground, but 
he immediately jumped back up and attacked with a series of jabs and 
left hooks. the slayer blocked each one and connected with the 
occasional jab in between the vampires punches. Angel had ended up 
with the weaker of the to vampires, He blocked the vamps initial 
assault and countered with a solid right hook followed by a uppercut 
sending his opponent flying backwards into a tombstone, before the 
vamp could regain his composer Angel greeted him with a stake to the 
chest. The other vamp and Buffy continued to fight, with neither one 
of them making any head way when Buffy managed to get in a leg sweep 
sending him to the ground. She quickly followed up with Mr. Pointy 
to the heart, the fight was over.

Team two had just found the remains of team three. Trying to reach 
the others on the radio they quickly discovered that only teams five 
and eight were responding. They stood there as the other two teams 
rushed to join them. What had happened, they had started out the 
night to repay their enemy for what had done to the others and now 
over half their number had fallen. The hunters had become the 
hunted. 

As team Eight was rushing to their comrades they were ambushed by a 
group of vampires from all sides. One off the commandos got a drop 
on a vamp and fired stunning his foe with the burst of energy from 
his weapon. He was getting aim on another one of them when he was 
grabbed from behind by a blonde vampire who immediately drained him 
of his life, Revenge is so very sweet thought Spike as he finished of 
the commando.

Buffy and Angel stood their looking at the group of five commandos 
that lay on the ground before them, it had been the forth group like 
this they had found since they had started their patrol of the 
campus. To make matters even worse they also had found six students 
scattered along the way, who had the misfortune of being out and 
about in Sunnydale after night fall. The strangest thing was that 
with all these victims they had not seen a single vampire since they 
had left the cemetery. Whoever was doing these attacks on campus was 
hitting their targets hard and fast and then moving on. 

"Buffy , I think we have seen enough for tonight."

"Yeah, I think your right." Buffy paused for a moment,
"Angel, I 
don't like this at all. there is something wrong about the whole 
thing"

"What do you mean?"

"Well the attacks on theses mysterious commandos seems to be 
planned. They were all attacked in areas were they could have been 
ambushed and from the looks of things it doesn't look like any of 
them got a chance to put up a fight"

"Spike," Said Angel as Buffy nodded in agreement, both of
them 
recalling the trouble he had created last time he was on a rampage, 
but now it was different, now he was working for Vlad Tepes Dracul.

The ten remaining initiative members stood in a small clearing on the 
campus. They had given up on avenging their friends and were now 
waiting for the other team to get there so they could figure out how 
they were going to survive the night. They heard someone approaching 
and looked to that direction hoping it was their comrades. It was 
however a vampire that emerged from the darkness, Spike had came 
around the corner and was now facing them. The blonde vamp looked at 
the young men and smiled, "We end this now"

Vampires swarmed them from all directions. Outnumbering them two to 
one, the vampires rapidly overran the remaining members of the 
imitative, their commander was going to be very much alone in DC. 
After the battle was over Spike looked at the others, "Return now
to 
the Master, I will be there shortly," He had a gleam in his eye
as he 
finished speaking, "I have some friends I need to check up on"

Willow hugged the slayer as soon as she came into the room, she had 
spent the last few hours pacing back and forth unable to concentrate 
while her love was out on patrol. Buffy graciously returned the 
redheads hug ensuring her that she was fine. They then walked over 
to were they had pushed their tow beds together and sat down. Willow 
laid her head on the slayers shoulder as Buffy gently put her arm 
around the redhead.

"I missed you"

"I wasn't gone for that long"

"Yeah but when your out patrolling it seems longer than it really
is"

"Don't worry, I will always make it home to my Wills"

"Promise"

"Yeah, I promise"

"Good because I love you so much," Said Willow as she tilted
her head 
towards Buffy leaning in for a kiss.

Outside the dorm stood a Blonde vampire smoking a cigarette, as he 
watched the two girls through their dorm room Window. He flicked the 
cigarette to the ground putting it out with his boot, then turned 
slowly walking back to join the others, this was a very interesting 
development, one the Master would be most interested in.
