Spike: A time of gathering: Unbeatable Foe
by redscarlet217
Spike glared at Cain whose smile no longer looked innocent but menacing. “Who are you?”

“Cain’s the name. Pain’s my game.” He said with a laugh. “Humor! I love it! Humans do it so easily, crack a joke. It’s wonderful.”

“What are you if not human?” Lisa asked staying ready for battle.

“But I am human, honey.” He smiled. “I’m sure your vampire friend here could tell that.”

“What are you?” Spike repeated Lisa’s question. He knew there was something else going on.

“Oh you people!” Cain yelled looking up in frustration. “Did it ever cross your minds that you’re asking the wrong questions?”

Spike stared at him, not understanding.

Andrew cleared his throat. “What did you used to be?” He asked slowly.

Cain looked at him, tilting his head a bit to the side. “Ding! Ding! And the nerd gets it!” He laughed. “I was the demon.”

“You mean a demon.” Spike growled.

“No, puppy. I was a being before all. Before demon-human mutts, even before the ancient ones. I was the first, created as a vessel for evil.” Cain spat out the words with detest. “And now I want to go home.”

“You’re insane.” Lisa said.

“Maybe. But I’m not the one about to die. Get them.”

The vampires lunged forward.

“But remember. Keep the vampire and the girl alive.” Cain said standing off to the side. He grabbed the wooden sword from its place on a wooden crate and sat back, waiting to use it.

Four vampires went after Spike and Lisa. They took two at a time and traded off frequently. Neither side had the advantage as they threw punches and then dodged them.

Only one went after Andrew, Cain obviously not seeing him as a threat. The vamp attacked but Andrew dodged down and rolled away. He stumbled across wooden pieces from a crate that had been smashed. He took a look think piece in his hands and rolled onto his back as the vamp grabbed him. The vamp pulled him up by the shirt collar and pulled him forward to bite him. Andrew forced the wooden piece forward, hoping to hit the heart. The vamp got a shocked look on his face as he exploded into dust. Andrew fell to the ground and attempted to catch his breath. He looked over at Lisa and Spike who were still fighting.

Andrew grabbed another wood piece and stood behind one of the vamps as Lisa kicked him back. Andrew shoved the wood into its back and watched it turn to dust. Lisa gave him a smile of thanks as he tossed her the wood and she plunged it into a vampire’s heart as it charged her. She then turned and grabbed one that was fighting with Spike. She fought with him for a while before staking him at the same time Spike staked the one he was fighting with.

Lisa smiled over at Spike and he couldn’t help but smile back.

“Now that sucks.” Cain said putting the sword to the side. “Now I have to get my hands dirty.” He stepped forward.

Spike stepped to meet him and quickly placed a punch in Cain’s gut.

“Oh, ouch.” Cain said not even wincing. “Just to let you know.” He leaned forward. “I’m a lot stronger than I look.” He raised his hand and punched Spike sending him flying backwards. “You can’t fight me!” He yelled. “I’m the beginning of power. Cainivious the Great!” He said as he walked over to Spike who was still trying to recover. He lifted him above his head. “You are nothing, mutt!”

“Hey! Angry Boy!”

Cain looked over at Lisa.

She stood a little ways away, standing with Andrew. She held the wooden sword in her hands. “You need this?”

“Put that down, little girl!” He yelled still holding Spike up.

“Little? You’re not my daddy!” She yelled as she lifted her leg and broke the sword in half over her knee. A bright green light jumped out of it and Cain screamed “No” as he threw Spike.

Cain stood there glaring at Lisa. “You’ll pay for that.” He looked over at Spike who was struggling to his feet. “I will find a way home, and I promise I’ll kill you all in the process.” He said before he took off running like a little kid in the other direction.

Lisa and Andrew ran over to Spike.

“I’m fine. He was just…strong.” Spike said.

“We need to get out of here.” Lisa said helping Spike walk.

Andrew grabbed the two discarded pieces of the sword and ran to catch up with them.
