On the Road: Apocalypse Averted
by littlewiccan
‘Soon immortality will be mine,’ the demon thought as he set up the circle that would summon the demon. It was almost time for the spell. He placed the various body parts on their respective points. As he placed each thing down he began to recite the preliminary spell.

He out the heart down, “Give me the strength to serve you,” he place he ears down, “the power to hear your call,” he placed down the eyes, “the sight to see your glory,” he placed down the tongue, “the voice to preach your brilliance,” he placed down the brain, “the intelligence to do your works. I give myself to you mind, body, and soul. I pledge my allegiance and all I ask in return is immortality.”

He dropped to his knees as the moon slowly moved in front of the sun and the eclipse began. It wasn’t until the sun had been completely blotted out that Angel and Xander came out of the shadows where they had been hiding.

“If you like him that much start a website,” Angel said as he punched the now chanting demon in the face.

The demon fell backwards but he didn’t miss a beat using his legs to knock Angel off his feet.

“A, Angel?” Xander said, looking at the now glowing circle.

“I’m a little busy now,” Angel said as he traded blows with the demon.

“But Angel.”

“What?!” he said, punching the demon and looking at Xander, he noticed the glowing circle, “Oh shit!” The demon came up behind him and hit him over the head with a rock. Angel went down with a thump.

“Hey, how’s it going?” Xander said, backing away slowly.

“You will pay,” the demon growled.

“Okay,” Xander said, “Credit or cash?” The demon growled. Xander tried to fight him off but the demon was too strong. He gripped Xander’s neck and lifted him off the ground.

Xander could feel himself slipping into unconsciousness as breathing became an issue. That’s when he saw Angel come up from behind and chop the demon’s head off. Xander fell to the floor, gasping for air.

“Now what?” Xander asked as Angel helped him to his feet.

“The counter spell,” he said as Xander ran over to the duffle bag they had brought and he pulled out a book, tossing it to Angel.

Angel flipped the book open and began to read something in Latin as something began to rise out of the ocean.

“Angel hurry!” Angel’s voice got stronger and he finished in response a beam of light shot down from where the moon covered the sun and hit the monster causing it to explode and splatter all over Angel and Xander.

Angel closed the book and looked at Xander. Both of them were covered in demon goo and viscera.

“I really hate demons,” Xander said. Angel just smiled at him as they collected their stuff and made their way back to Angel’s car before the sun came back.

*******************

“Thanks for the shower,” Xander said. He and Angel stood in front of Xander’s car. It was nighttime. That had only just earlier today defeated the demon and once again averted the apocalypse, “It’s been…..we should do this….I’ll see you around.”

“Have a good trip,” Angel said as Xander got in his car and drove away.
