It broke.

The magic, the spell, she felt it, she could feel it slipping and finally shattering, but that was okay. She didn’t need it anymore. Didn’t need the shroud over the past. Not when she was this close. There was nothing Buffy could even do anymore. Glory had called her minions to her, apart from the ones keeping her Key from focusing that pretty green energy on anything that might let her escape, the girl would be bruised and beaten by now. There were her minions who loved her, frickin worshipped her because she was awesome, and there were the crazies. And no Troll God's Hammer, she knew that for sure. Stupid Buffy, where had she gotten a hammer

But she didn’t have it here. No Hammer, no Godly lame. She wasn't worried. And she’d watch for construction machinery.

She was dressed in simple robes, a concession to Ben for when they got home. He was a treacherous little snit when he wanted to be, had fallen right into the fold the second time around like a good little host body. He might even do well back home, and she could totally end him if he did betray her. But she didn’t think that he would. He’d accepted her. He’d gotten Dawnikins.

She waited nervously tapping her foot, Dawn was chained to a wall not far from her, soon she’d be ready, she’d worked so hard on this, On the seal. The one right in Lawrence. It wasn’t visible but it made her tingly to be near, Dawn’s blood, and the right magic would tear it apart. They were so close to completion, so ready to bleed the little brat, only a few minutes now, a few short minutes and she would be home.

And there would be no robot fooling her this time, Not again. Even if there HAD been one. Stupid robot girl had slowed her down.
“Hey Dawnie...you doing okay over there sweetie? I know its got to suck. But I had to lock you down. You know you’d only try to run. And I don’t want to hurt you. I mean...y’know. Till I bleed you. Cause that right there...that’s gonna hurt like a bitch, and be slow. But you know that from last time don’t you? I mean he even says he's sorry for hurting you and all, but not being real. You'll be happier as energy I swear. You'll be doing what you're supposed to do, what you were MADE to do. Isn't that better...And your sister will follow you to death anyway so you don't even need to worry. Bitch has it coming. I have a list. Wrecking ball jerk is on it too. Pity the glinda-witch isn't here. I'd have fun with her. Can mess up her girl again though"

"Um...Your most divine and well accessoriedness in whose splendiferious radiance we bask eternal? Might I interrupt your magnificance’s taunting?"

Aw Jinx. He was totally her favourite. She looked down and patted him on his creepy bumpy little minion head

"What is it, are they here...?"

"We think they are nearby yes..."

Glory grinned and grabbed one of her prettier swords. This would be fun. She was about to dismiss the minion when she thought about something very important, very very. How could she have forgotten?

"Do I look good Jinxy, Do I look ready to go home?!!." she asked him with a beaming grin that was ready to turn at any second. He’d better answer right. He was so gonna be in trouble if he didn’t.

Buffy ignored her as she talked, she just focused on trading blows, blocking Glory's attacks, and aiming her own with the sword. Of course, she was a god, she was going to land hits. They hurt just as much as Buffy remembered, but she could take a few of them and still be on her feet. Why the god just didn't go right for the kill, she didn't know. But the fight continued, and despite some of the blows Glory got, Buffy was holding her own.

After the god had landed one well place backhand, and Buffy was picking herself up after shattering a window in the building because she had crashed into it, she finally responded.

"I wouldn't count on that." she said, bringing the sword up again, and lunging it to continue the fight. "See, this time? It's not just my friends. I've got Superman. Supergirl. Jacen freaking Solo, if you have any idea who that is." she said, her voice flat as she concentrated on the fight. "Your demons don't stand a chance. The only fight here? Is you, and me." okay, so she wasn't that positive that her team was kicking that much ass, but it was likely.

And the sword was working. She could see what it was doing to Glory, and it gave Buffy hope, which was exactly what she needed. So maybe the Angels were useful for something after all, even if it was only borrowing their weapons.

Glory knew the names, she had minions didn't she. She'd gotten the info and in hindsight she probably shouldn't have been distracted by particularly fragrant new bath salts. But she remembered the aliens with super strength that could fly, and she suspected she knew Solo.

"The ones that hit me, and the guy hurling lightning at my Jinxy?" she said sadly as her best minion got hurled into a wall. Lame. She'd liked him. She needed to keep Buffy talking, keep her talking long enough to...Dammit...another slash at her side, more power lost. That sword, it was weakening her...weakening her hard and then finally. It was a simple move, she'd turned to the side, just angled herself right and the blade cut into the Slayer's stomach. She'd done it. She'd finally done it. She was about to drive the sword in all the way to be sure and finish her off when she was frozen in place by something, something from across the battle. Her mind was shattering again.

"NO!!" she screamed wildly. "Crawling, crawling all in my head, never find the light, never see the...why won't you let me have my LIGHT, she's MINe. Mine like, shoes and clothes and cars and material trappings, trappings, cages and chains, old times...just like old..."

She had to heal, she had to. She had to let him try to get away. She had no choice left. But maybe Buffy would die before the choice became an issue.

She gave the body up to Ben and he looked up worriedly.

"You're hurt"

It was if time had froze when the blade bit into her stomach. She wasn't aware of it at first, until a familiar pain shot through her system. Just like when the ubervamp from the First's battle had stabbed her, it wasn't any less of a shock. Her face was a mirror of her emotions. Pain, fear, shock, confusion. She stumbled, and half expected Glory to just cut up from there, finishing her off. But it never came.

She was only mildy aware of what Glory was saying as she looked down at her stomach, a sword still sticking out of it. The God was screaming at something. Somewhere, something had happened, the Glory had gone batshit. Half aware of what she was doing, almost a robot movement, she reached for the sword sticking in her, and then pulled it out, a gasp of pain slipping past her lips.

Her balance wavered again, and as she dropped the sword, she looked up to Glory. Only it wasn't Glory. It was Ben.

You're hurt.

Ben. Ben who had worked his way into her trust the first time, only to betray her and hand over Dawn. Ben, who remembered it all and arrived in this city, only to do it again. Ben, who had fully intended on handing over Dawn, and letting her die, just so he wouldn't have to. More monster than human. Willing to become a monster to live.

Ben, who's played her like a food, twice. Pure rage filled Buffy's mind, her vision almost flared red. Pulse speeding up, Buffy could feel the pure hate she had for this...him.

She didn't respond. Glory had given over to Ben thinking that Buffy wouldn't kill him. The Slayer wasn't the same person from all those years ago. She'd learned from the First that sacrifices had to be made. It was war, people had to die. Ben was going to die, because if he didn't, the world would end. And she had to protect the world.

Not even giving him a moment to say anything else, Buffy lunged forward, eyes cold. Lucifer's sword flew up, and she brought it down over Ben, hitting the shoulder and sliding inward and down toward his middle.

When he was dead, she collapsed, falling backward onto the ground, dropping the sword. Her hand came to her stomach where she had been stabbed, and then came away with blood. So much blood. Her head fell back, eyes closing as she attempted to stead her breathing.

Faith happened to be glancing over when she saw Glory cut B with the sword. Anger stirred inside her. No way. No FUCKING way. Her eyes narrowed, and she began to fight her way over to reach B. She got there just in time to see her kill the guy, Ben, who apparently had been Glory-which still confused her just a bit. She was distracted for a moment, and didn't turn towards B until after she'd fallen to the ground.

For a few precious seconds, she stood there, between the guy B had just killed and B, who now had a wound so similar to the one she'd given Faith. She wanted to walk away. Really, she did. But she didn't. Instead, she pulled off her leather jacket and balled it up as she dropped to her knees next to the blond. She pressed the jacket tightly against B's stomach even as her dark eyes glanced around to see if anyone else had seen what had happened, and who could come help.

If B was lucky, it wouldn't be too deep and it might even begin to heal quickly so that she'd be able to be moved soon. She wasn't gonna let Buffy die, not now anyway.

She could hear the fight around her, somewhere she could hear Dawn screaming for her, which meant that she was still alive, but Xander and Vi hadn't found her yet. She really, really hoped that no one had cut her. No, they hadn't. There was no massive portal of destruction with dragons flying around. They were still winning, and with Glory gone, they could do this. Or she hoped the others could, because she was out.

When she felt someone putting pressure on her stomach, Buffy's eyes opened slightly, her head turning. It was the last person she had ever expected to help her. At least, from the time she was from.

She half looked at her stomach, though she couldn't really see it that well. It was some kind of fabric. Her jacket, probably. "Thought you wanted to kill me." she breathed out, though she wasn't be serious. For some reason, she didn't think Faith was going to kill her. Not now, or ever really. But really not now, because something told her Faith would want an actual fight, from start to finish, just to see who was better.

When she heard Buffy speak, she glanced back down at her, still using Slayer strength to hold the jacket in place. Pressure was the only thing that would help with a wound like this. She knew that one from experience.

Faith met the blond's eyes for a moment, then gave a shrug as she looked away again. "Still do." But there was no force behind the words. Sure, she still wanted Buffy to pay for what she'd done-she had, after all, taken 8 months of Faith's life-but not like this. 'Sides, she hadn't been the one to cause this pain, so she really didn't like it.

"Don't move for a minute. Stomach wounds are the worst." There was a faint bitterness in her tone. Her own scar was twinging slightly in remembrance-no surprise there, really. She could remember the pain quite clearly. "Long as you don't jump off a buildin', ya should be okay." After a moment, she met B's eyes again. She still didn't really like her, or trust her, but despite all that, there was a bond that they had as Slayers.

Even Faith couldn't deny that.

Her gazed staid on Faith, even when she looked away. So maybe Pike really was getting to her. Helping her. Maybe. Still, the fact that he use to innocently date buffy when she was a teenager was something Faith could never know. And she only hoped he didn't hurt her. And that she didn't hurt him.

"Yeah." she said, in an agreeing tone. Reaching down, she lifted up the bottom of her shirt on the otherside, revealing a scar that looked like it came from a sword. "Same damn thing happened when the First attacked a few years back." people needed to stop trying to kill her. It wasn't her fault they were stupid enough to keep trying to end the world.

Buffy met Faith's eyes, getting the message pretty clear. They'd probably never be friends. At least not like she'd considered Faith when they'd first met and Buffy had got over her jealousy. But they were both Slayers, and that meant something.

After a moment, she took a deep breath in. "I need to get to Dawn."

Her gaze flickered to the scar, then back up to Buffy. The First. That was the thing she'd been fighting when Red had done that spell. It still blew her mind a little. With that thought, she glanced over towards there the others seemed to be mostly taking care of the demons and crazies. For an instant, her eyes fell on the redheaded slayer, Vi, and the wicked awesome weapon she had. That must've been the scythe Buffy had mentioned.

When she met Buffy's gaze again, she gave a faint nod at the words. "You will." She waited until she seemed steady enough to sit up, then slid an arm under Buffy's shoulder and helped her up, her other hand still holding the jacket in place. She then started to stand slowly with her, making sure she didn't do something stupid, like faint or some crazy shit like that.

Once Buffy was on her feet, Faith gripped her arm tightly to keep her standing. "You good?"

Buffy sucked in a breath, biting back the pain the came on even worse from moving. As Faith helped her to her feet, she grabbed the handle of the sword. There was no way she was leaving Lucifer's sword unattended anywhere. Besides, she didn't want to have to deal with two pissed off teenage half angels. She put the sharp end of it to the ground, almost using it as a type of support.

"I think." she said with a slight nod, trying to steady herself. She glanced down at Faith's hands on her arm, and was reminded of the Faith that had fought with her in the hellmouth against the First. The Faith she could mostly get along with. "Thanks."

"Is it over?" she asked, looking around her, trying to see if there were many demons left. She could only assume the minds of everyone had been returned, and that was what had caused the freak out with Glory.

Faith eyed the sword for a moment, remembering what had been said about it. It was kinda wicked cool. But she didn't touch it, instead glancing away and watching as Buffy pulled herself together. Literally. When she saw B look down at her hands, she let go of her, but waited until Buffy put a hand over the jacket to hold it in place. At the moment, it was the only thing keeping her insides inside, from what Faith had seen.

When Buffy asked if it was over, she glanced around herself, and gave a shrug. "Looks like, mostly." She trailed off as she spotted Pike finishing off a couple of demons. She didn't know it, but a small smile slid onto her lips, and her gaze warmed as she watched him. She'd caught a glimpse of him after the witch's spell, and could tell that he was kinda losing it, but she'd been too busy to help him.

Now, though, he seemed almost himself again.

She blinked a little to look back at the blond. "Keep the jacket. Blood's hell to get out." She noticed Xander, Vi, and that kid heading in a particular direction, and nodded towards them. "I'm guessing the kid's over there." She was pretty anxious to get to Pike, figuring B could take care of herself now.
