Hell on Earth: Futures Divided: Chapter 13: Doppelgangland Warfare pt 1
by Timan
Rebecca opened her eyes. As she tried to get to her feet something grabbed her by the arm. In shock, she struggled against whoever was holding her.
“Hey take it easy,” angel said, “It’s just me.”
Rebecca blinked her eyes a couple of times until they adjusted to the dim lighting. Angel helped her to her feet. They both looked around the unfamiliar setting. It looked like the inside of an old office building but they both had no idea how they got there.
“Where are we?” Rebecca asked
“Don’t know,” Angel replied, “last thing I remember is being hit by that energy Vampire Willow shot at us. Must have been some kind of teleportation spell.”
“The correct term is translocation,” Angelus said from behind them, “I hate to nit-pick but it’s always good to speak proper.”
They both turned and faced Angelus. Angel smiled at his evil half.
“I should have know.” he replied, “This had Angelus stink all over it. I’m guessing that you made the phony map to.”
“No that was Becky.” Rebecca replied
“What?” Angel asked confused.
“She’s been working with Angelus for at least a couple of days.”
“How do you know that?”
Rebecca gave Angel a look
“Do I really have to go through the ‘I’m a psychology student’ speech again?” she replied, “there’s been something off about Becky. Over the past few hours her attitude and the way she carried herself changed dramatically from the first time I met her. That suggested that some deep need was satisfied. Also the fact that she didn’t try to kill me when I saw her privately was a huge hint.”
“That’s something I’m definitely gonna have to fix” Becky said from behind them.
Buffy helped Shona and Nighthawk onto their feet. They looked around the degraded building in shock.
“What the hell was that?” Shona asked
“Some kind spell.” Buffy replied looked around the room.
“I feel all tingly.” Nighthawk commented dusting herself off.
Shona joined Buffy with looking around the room.
“So we someplace else now?” she asked seriously
“That’s how it works.” Buffy replied
Shona shook her head angrily.
“I hate magic.”
“Ah . . . guys,” Nighthawk said nervously, “Where’s everyone else?”
Buffy and Shona looked at Nighthawk briefly then looked around. They were definitely alone.
“This is so not good.” Shona commented.
“Oh I don’t know,” said a familiar voice from behind them, “personally I like this arrangement a lot.”
The group swung around. They stared in shock as Vampire Buffy leaned casually in the doorway.
“Wow B. the other you got trashier in her old age.” Vampire Faith said as she joined her in the door.
“This is, like, getting too weird now.” Nighthawk said anxiously as she readied herself to fight.
Vampire Faith looked Nighthawk up and down.
“What the hell are you supposed to be? Though the lone ranger was a guy?” she joked
“Hey!” Nighthawk yelled
“What do you want?” Buffy yelled to her double
Vampire Buffy shrugged and moved from the doorway.
“It’s not what I want it’s what Angelus wanted.” She replied
“Yep,” Vampire Faith continued, “the big A, always with the plan . . . except this time he had help from the big B.”
Buffy looked at her curiously. Shona didn’t she already knew who she was talking about.
“Becky.” Shona growled
Vampire Faith looked around the group unhappily.
”Hey where’s my double?” she asked
“ ‘The big B’ killed her.” Buffy replied.
The Vampires Buffy and Faith looked at each other.
“Guess you sucked in the other dimension.” Vampire Buffy replies
“I’m sorry,” Buffy quipped, “is there gonna be fighting soon or is this some kind of vampires anonymous meeting?”
Vampire Faith turned and looked at Buffy. She morphed her face and smiled happily
“Since your so eager I say let the pummeling begin.” She replied happily
Byron, Xander and the colonists slowly began to back up as the vampire army approached.
“Any other plan?” Xander asked, “aside from trying not to die.”
“Crosses!” Byron ordered
The colonists drew out their crosses and held them in front of themselves.
The Vampire stopped and recoiled from the defensive move.
“That should hold them for a moment.” Byron said seriously
“Is anyone else thinking of the ‘band aid on the broken leg’ analogy at the moment?” Xander asked
Byron ignored him. He worked his way through his troupes to where Frag was working frantically on the tazer rifles.
“How’s it coming?” he asked the stressed technician.
“Okay, Here’s the deal, I can get two working but you are only gonna get three shots each.” Frag replied
Byron frowned.
“I though you said you could get them to work.” He asked
“If I had my work room and a week yeah I could. But I don’t have much to work with out here.”
“Just do your best.” Byron replied as he opened the back door of the bus. He handed Xander a box full of vials of holy water and held the second one himself.
Both men worked their way back to the front of the defensive line. They place the boxes down near the front and the colonists behind the line start to load up.
“This isn’t going to last very long.” Xander said as he loaded his pockets with vials.
“I know. We’ll just have to hold out untill the rest of the team returns.” Byron replied
“Great. Maybe then we can get a better plan.”
Vampire Willow smiled to herself as she embraced Goddess Willow around her midsection. She sniffed at her neck and played with her hair.
“Oooh,” she cooed, “you’re all white. Like some kind of dove.”
Slowly she brushed her hand lightly across Goddess Willow back until she found the zip to her gown. Goddess Willow waited patiently for the right moment as her Vampires self slowly unzipped her. Vampire Willow slipped her hand inside and slowly reached around untill her had was rubbing Goddess Willow stomach.
“I know it’s wrong to find yourself attractive but I just can’t help myself.” Vampire Willow said as her hand slowly traveled up her doubles body. Goddess Willow jumped slightly as Vampire Willow roughly grabbed one of her breasts and began to fondle it. Vampire Willow leaned into her doubles ear.
“So, sweetie, shall we fight first or should we just fu . . .”
Vampire Willow never got to finish her sentence. In a flash of brilliant white light Goddess Willow vanished. Vampire Willow looked around confused.
“You don’t think you’re the only one who could do that did you?” Goddess Willow said from behind Vampire Willow.
Goddess Willow swept her hand majestically. Vampire Willow sailed across the room and landed roughly against the wall. Vampire Willow climbed painfully onto her feet and glared at the goddess. Goddess Willow smiled at her.
“I’m sorry baby I don’t hate myself enough to sleep with you so I think we should just stick to the fighting.” she continued
“Fine by me.” Vampire Willow replied as her hair and eyes turned pitch black
Like her goddess counterpart she swept her hand and sent Goddess Willow flying backward against the wall. She continued by throwing a ball of energy at her striking her in the chest. Goddess Willow collapsed to the floor gasping for air. Vampire Willow walked slowly up to her.
“This is what passes for gods these days? I am so disappointed.”
Goddess Willow looked up at her and smiled.
“Don’t be.” she replied
Her eyes began to glow. The rug Vampire Willow was standing on shifted suddenly causing her to collapse onto the ground. Before she could get to her feet the rug quickly wrapped itself around her binding her tightly. Goddess Willow didn’t want to waste any time she climbed back onto her feet and began to chant softly to her self. Energy began to pool into her hands. She had one shot to break the invulnerability spell and she didn’t want to waste it.
Rebecca and Angel stood defensively across from Becky and Angelus. None of the four were willing to make the first move and it quickly turned into a battle of wills more then a battle of physical strength. Angel looked curiously at Becky
“Why did you do it?” he asked
Becky shrugged. Rebecca was a little more forthcoming
“The attention,” she explained, “all these years having to save everybody else’s ass left her with massive neglect issues.”
“Get out of my head!” Becky yelled
Rebecca smirked.
“Oh I’m sorry did I hit a sore spot? Do you need a cuddle from daddy now?” she replied playfully.
Becky growled. She marched forward but was stopped by Angelus.
“Don’t Becky she’s trying to aggravate you so you can’t focus.”
“Good advice daddy Angelus,” Angel replied, “Do you pack sandwiches for her play lunch to?”
Angelus glared at Angel.
“Like you’re the expert parent.” He replied
“Rebecca’s old enough to handle things on her own.”
“Right. You were that confident in her that you decided to put her under magical surveillance.”
“That’s got nothing to do with it.”
“Guess again.” Beck replied, “I saw the look on your face when we crossed over to this reality. You were happily you LoJacked your daughter.”
“What the hell do you know?” Rebecca yelled
Angelus smiled sweetly at her.
“I know your mom was a great bone while she was unconscious.” He replied smugly
Rebecca glared at him with a fiery anger. Angelus soaked it up like a sponge.
“Didn’t Judson mention that to you? Oh we had a great time! Your mom just lying there and me being able to do what ever I wanted to her. Who knows I might actually be your father instead of him.”
“Wait Rebecca!” Angel yelled as Rebecca rushed forward.
Rebecca Grabbed Angelus by the collar. Before she could do anything else Becky grabbed her by the neck and threw her across the room. Angel rushed up to defend his daughter but was knocked down by Angelus. He walked over and grabbed angel by the throat and slammed him hard against the wall. Angel smiled at him.
“I don’t breath what’s this supposed to do?”
“Nothing much,” Angelus replied, “just hold you in place while we watched my daughter kill yours.”
Becky Picked Rebecca roughly up from the ground. She placed her into a headlock and dragged her in front of Angel. Becky pulled Rebecca up so that she could look into Angel’s eyes.
“I think it’s time you two should say goodbye.”
Buffy swung out with a left hook against her counterpart. Vampire Buffy ducked under while Vampire Faith countered with a fist to the face. As Buffy stumbled back Shona and Nighthawk rushed in and started to lay body blows on the two vampires. With a synchronized spin kick both slayers knocked both vamps against the wall. Buffy jumped back onto her feet and charged back in. seeing this both vampires grabbed the ledge above them and kicked Shona and Nighthawk back against the slayer general. All three women collapsed onto the ground.
“Wow your girls got some skills B.” Vampire Faith commented
“There not the good Faith,” Vampire Buffy commented, “I would have taught them not to lie on the floor so much.”
“Is that you two do,” Buffy commented, “just stand around and talk while the enemy regroups?”
“No there’s other things,” Vampire Buffy replied, “Like looking at your surroundings for one.”
In an unexpected move. Both vampires jump up and grip the ceiling. Using their combined strength they pulled down hard forcing it to collapse. The slayers and vampires move quickly as the debris started to fly. The dust cleared the entire room is not full of rubble.
“You okay?” Buffy asked Shona
“Yeah I’m good, you?” Shona replied
“Still in one piece,” Buffy replied looking around the damage, “Nighthawk?”
From the rubble they noticed Nighthawk wincing in extreme pain. Her right leg was caught under a large section of roof.
“Oh god.” Buffy said quietly as she and Shona rushed to her side.
“My leg,” Nighthawk said painfully, “I think it’s broken.”
“We’ll get you out.” Buffy replied as she, and Shona, tried to lift the section of roof.
It strained slightly under the combined slayers strength but refused to give. There was too much rubble on top. From the other side of the room Vampire Buffy and Vampire Faith reappeared through a missing section of wall. All three slayers looked at them anxiously.
“See now this is why you should never play in abandoned buildings.” Vampire Buffy Joked
“At least the masked one is going to be an easy meal B. I’m getting wicked bad munchies here.”
Nighthawk looked around the group. As much as it scares her to death she knows what need to be done.
“Run.” Nighthawk said softly and painfully.
Shona looked at her in surprise.
“What? Hell no I aint leaving you here like this.” she replied
“I’m already over. You two get out.” Nighthawk said as the tears begin to roll down her cheeks.
Buffy looked at her sadly. Shona refused to give in.
“This is Crazy talk Nighthawk we’re gonna get you out and all of us are gonna leave you hear?”
Shona tried to lift the roof again. Nighthawk looked at her desperately and placed her hand on Shonas arm.
“Let me do this Shona. I-I think I need to to save everybody.” Nighthawk cried
Shona bit her lip in an effort to stop herself from crying. Buffy put her hand on Shonas shoulder.
“Come on. We can lead them away from Nighthawk and come back for her later.” Buffy said seriously
Shona looked seriously at her friend.
“Don’t you die on me now!” she growled
Nighthawk nodded. Buffy lent down and slipped and object into her hand. She whispered something in Nighthawk ear then stood up to join Shona.
The vampires looked at each other and shook their heads.
“You don’t think were gonna fall for the ‘chase the heroes while they leave their injured friend behind’ trick do you?”
“Hell no,” Shona replied, “I was thinkin’ of doin’ this instead.”
She kicked a smaller piece of rubble off the ground. It hit both vampire square in the face knocking them back. Buffy and Shona moved to the doorway. They looked at Nighthawk for what they felt was the last time and waited for the vampires to get back onto their feet. As soon as they did Buffy and Shona bolted.
“You go after them B. I’d deal with martyr girl.” Vampire Faith said
Vampire Buffy nodded and rushed out of the room and full speed. Vampire Faith turned her attention to Nighthawk who was still trapped. She walked over and knelt down on the section of roof trapping her leg. This caused more pressure-making Nighthawk scream in pain.
“It looks like it’s just you and me mask girl.” Vampire Faith as she held Nighthawk onto the ground, “I glad I made some room especially for you.”
Vampire Faith leaned in. Nighthawk closed her eyes and Waited.
Xander threw the last Vial of holy water. Over the last few minutes the defensive line began to break down as the colonists arms got tired. It was not only a matter of time before they strike. Frag quickly rushed through the crowd and handed the rifles to Xander and Byron.
“I managed to perform a miracle on these baby,” he said exhausted, “you have eight shots each before you have to throw them away.”
Xander looked at him curiously.
“Why do we have to throw them?”
“Because they’re gonna explode, killing everybody in a one meter radius.” He replied
“Oh,” Xander replied in shock, “let’s hope that doesn’t happen.”
“Ready Xander?” Byron asked charging his weapon
“Well I wasn’t before and I don’t think I’m going to be so, no I’m not . . . let’s do this.” Xander replied charging his weapon.
At that moment the Colonists who had the crosses couldn’t hold them up any longer. They dropped their arms and the vampires charged. Xander and Byron fired off the first volley knocking down a few of the vamps in front. Their second shot took down some of the side vamps trying to breach from the fringes. There third and forth were used to hold the vamps back. This went on for a few moments until they reached their final shots. Two vamps tried to attack them directly so the last shot was used to knock them back. The rifles began to heat up and vibrate violently. Xander and Byron looked at each other. Using the shoulder straps they spun the guns around until they built up enough momentum to send them soaring into the sea of vampires.
“Everybody back!” Byron yelled as he and Xander bolted for the wall
The crowd scuttled to the wall. From the sea of vampires a huge explosion erupted sending smoke and debris flying into the air. The colonists coughed and waited to see the results. They recoiled in fear, as the vampires emerged unscathed from the cloud. Xander looked to Byron
“Any other ideas?”
Byron shook his head sadly. He looked at his friend
“Nope,” he replied, “there’s only one thing left . . . “
