Part Five

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Xander tried to register all the thoughts in his head. "What the hell is going on?" He thought to himself. He stroked his brow with an immense pace, a single tear trickling down his cheek. Willow saw his face begin to pulse, to quiver.

"First Jesse, now Victor, man how can anyone keep friends in this damn town!" Xander staggered towards Willow, Buried his head into her shoulder and began to cry.

Willow began to rub the back of his neck with her right hand, Her left hand tightly holding him.

"You'll be okay",Willow whispered into his ear," It'll all be okay soon."

"What if I lose you next, Willow?" Xander muffled voice sounded out, a hint of it beginning to crack.

Willow's eyes widen, her facial expression quickly turned to empathy.

"I can't let that happen", Willow answered back," I could never leave you"

Willow right then and there wanted to tell him what she felt, but held it back. She knew he was in enough emotional confusion as it is,No need to make it more so.

Xander then began to cry on her shoulder, creating a puddle right on her sweater.

A rush of silence fell over the library, it was a time for reflection.

Angel frowned, He knew too much how hard it was to lose to many friends, even worse if you were the one who caused them to be lost.

Buffy's eyes squinted, she bit on her lip. She wanted to get this demon who was controling Victor, Why Xander had to find out this way. She felt so sorry for her friend.

Giles stood solid, he was motionless, he wanted to make everything just go away, To make all the evil things that depressed his young friends to dissapear. But he couldn't, so he remained Silent.

Willow's red Sweater began to be drenched with the tears of Xander. She cradled his neck closer to hers. Then she looked straight at Buffy, "Find him Buffy, Please," Willow said as she grimaced, the pain in her voice was reflective of Xander's.

Buffy nodded, and silently walked out of the library exit into the night.

Angel was already gone, he snuck home to nurse his wounds.

Giles walked into the stacks, to leave Xander and Willow alone.

Xander was so overwhelmed he began to slowly drop to his knees. By now Willow was on sitting on the cold ground too.He quietly cried on Willow as she cradled him.

The night was getting colder,Buffy eased on the jacket that Angel had given her. She walked through the streets of Sunny dale, Man, the streets of Sunnydale at night were a virtual ghost town. The only activity that would be going on would be at the bronze, but Buffy wasn't looking for fun.

A single drop of rain hit the slayer's jacket.

Then a thunderous roar of lightning.

"Damn." She said in her lowest tone of voice.

One by One droplets of Rain pelted the Slayer, Until the streets were small rivers.... Buffy loved the feel of the rain on her body. It felt so good to know there was one thing Demon's and vampires could not pervert, Mother Nature.

She wiped her face dry from the water that fell upon her. Then she saw a Mysterious figure bolt down the street. It was limping, and it was clothed in cloak. "Bingo!" Buffy said, her eyes lighting up.

She ran down the street to see the cloaked guy climb up the fire escape of the bronze.

"Oh man, He can cause a major no-no to people there!" Buffy thought to her self.

She ran as fast as she could, and caught up with the cloaked guy, as she got a closer, sure enough it was Victor, but not the Victor she had seen with Xander days before. This Victor was Naaaasty!

"So My friend, You're ugly, rotting, and you're full of puss!" Buffy yelled as she grabbed cloaked Vic by the leg. She tugged and the leg popped right off! Spilling gallons of white goo upon the rain soaked alleyways.

Buffy's facial expression went straight to disgust. She quickly stepped back so none of the goo would hit her.

"Ewwww!" Buffy began to gag.

"Damn, bad sewing job!" a raspy voice leaked out of the cloaked Victor's mouth.

"You mean you sewed your leg back to..how Gross!" Buffy began to gag again.

Cloaked Vic quickly hopped up the fire escapes.

Much to Buffy's shagrin, she still had to track this monster down.

She climbed up the slippery fire escape right after him.


* * *
The rain was pouring hardest now, and as Buffy walked across the roof of the bronze, She could feel the vibrating, pulsing music under her feet from a very loud band in the dark Club.

The rain was now covering her completley, she took off her Jacket because it felt too heavy on her.The rain was now blinding her.

Right then a kick made contact to her back.

"This is none of your buisness!" cloaked vic seethed through his teeth, which by the way were falling out.

"Y'know what I'm amazed by?" Buffy began to say ,as she regained her momentum.

"What's that?" Cloaked Vic answered back.

"How a one legged dweeb freak like you could have kicked me!" Buffy quickly spun around and nicely thrusted her boot right into his chest.

Or Right through his chest.

Buffy's foot was right through Vic's chest cavity.

Cloaked Vic's eyes were absantee now. The eye sockets were now tenants to a streaming line of White ooze, which traveled down his neck. He smirked.

She then thrusted her foot again, much harder.

Her boot went straight through Vic, making his White gooey insides fly across the air and straight over the roof of the Bronze.

"Cloakie, hope ya like this!" Buffy smiled....she began to do cartwheels with Vic stil impaled on her leg.

Cloaked Vic's expression was now sheer pain, His screams of Pain becoming louder and louder.

She finally stopped mid cartwheel.

But Cloaked's skin was pretty soft, when she stopped, he didn't, making the whole side of his left torso get ripped to the side.

Cloaked fell right on the floor, now gallons of his white life force spilling every which way.

Buffy walked up to Cloaked and was ready to stomp his head in, but something held her back.

It was The real Victor.

Buffy jumped back and was ready to kick him, but Vic's eyes lit up.

"This is my job", he said.

"What are you? How come there are two of you?!" Buffy asked in a frantic voice.

"I'm a spirit Buffy, I'm a ghost, I came back to say goodbye to all my friends.... But then I found out this thing was running around, "Victor pointed to the cloaked rotting version of himself.

Buffy was confused but still understood.

"So you're a genuine Phasm?" Buffy began to get a chill up her spine.

"Very much so," Vic answered back.

Buffy placed her hand on his chest and felt a bolt of energy that zapped her back.

"Wow!" Buffy's face lit up.

"I know, the afterlife is strange," Victor said, the rain was not hitting him, it were as if he had a forcefield around him." I have an etherial body, that," He pointed to the cloaked one, "Was my real body."

Buffy just stood back letting the ghost make his way to his once host body.

Ghostly Vic picked up The Cloaked one.... Making sure he was severley injured.

"What are you going to do with him?" Buffy yelled out.

"What I have to...," Ghost Vic answered back.

Ghost Victor then picked Cloaked right over his head... walked towards the edge of the Bronze's roof. and threw him.

Cloaked's body splattered on impact. As if someone had thrown a waterbaloon.

The rain soaked sidewalk was now covered in vomitous looking goop.

Below, A confused Cordelia Chased hurried out of the Bronze to get a breath of fresh air, She then slipped right on the goop, ruining the pricless dress she was wearing!

"NO, NO, NO, NO!" Cordelia yelled out.

Buffy only heard Cordelia's panicked voice and she smiled. It was funny to her.

Ghost Victor turned around and faced A drenched Buffy.

"Tell Xander what happened," Victor mumbled.....

"But wait", Buffy rushed towards him.

In an instant Victor dissapeared...leaving a wet, confused Buffy all by herself.


* * *
Many hours had passed...and The Night was almost over, but still in the library were Xander and Willow. He was already done with his crying, as he grasped Willow's hand.

Buffy stumbled in through the library doors....

"Is everything...," Giles yelled trying to catch the slayer's ear.

"It's over, there were two victors allright, one good, one bad." Buffy answered back, fixing her wet hair.

Xander made a crooked smile....

"Xander, your friend was there tonight, he helped me put away the bad guy." Buffy walked towards Xander.

Xander's crooked smile was now a fully fleged smile. He knew his buddy was looking out for him.

Xander, Willow and Giles circled around Buffy on a table to hear what had happened. And Buffy began to talk.....


ThE EnD!
