Xander - Babs ; Cara (later)
It was working! Black smoke was slowly beginning to pour out of the mouths of the demons surrounding them, spilling out onto the pavement and burning itself straight into the ground. They were going back to Hell and Xander, in all his Xander-like glory, was sending them there personally. That probably wasn't going to make him many demon-shaped friends in the near future, but hey. At least he and Babs weren't gonna be screwed up by them now. At least the demons weren't going to screw them up. No one ever said anything about invisible monsters that would pop up out of nowhere and attack Babs while Xander was distracted. First, he heard the growl. Then when a body hit pavement - one that didn't belong to the already fallen bodies of the demons that he had just finished with - Xander turned quickly, only to find Babs sprawled across the pavement and writhing in agony. The watergun fell from his hand, smacking against the ground carelessly as Xander began to run.
Something invisible was ripping her apart. He didn't know if it was magic, he didn't know if there was actually something there - whatever the case, something was attacking Babs. Xander had to stop it. He had to kill it before whatever it was killed Babs first! Reaching around his back, Xander wrapped his fingers around the handle of a different type of gun. He hadn't used this one before because he wasn't interested in harming the innocents locked away inside of their own bodies by those demons. But now? Now Xander didn't care what it was. Not when that something was killing his friend.
"Don't move, Babs!" Xander aimed the gun. Then hesitated. Where was he supposed to shoot?!
