He showed up just like I said he would. Didn't know whether to respect the man or hold him in contempt. He did swallow a lot a pride comming here to protect the girl. But what credit can overcomming rascism deserve?
"Wolverine.", Giles began. "I seem to have been a bit rash in my... dismissal of your usefullness. Buffy does need your assitance. Well, actually she needs" "A rescue.", I finished for him. "Meet me at my bike out front, I need to get in uniform.", I told him.

Five minutes later, we were heading to the factory I was held at. The librarian yelled into my ear, "Your choice of costume is most effective. The bright yellow subconciously displays sunshine, the antithesis of the vampire." I held up my left hand an extended my first claw. "First thing. I can here you without yelling, bub." I extended another. "Fire, stake to the heart, and decapitation are the only things that can take one of these vampires down." I heard the librarian gulp, despite the motorcycles engine. "Auhm, well, there are other things, such as sunlight and holy water, but I don't thing you're going to wait for day or go around splashing them." I nodded, "You catch on real quick."
I smelled that vampire smell up the road. It was slightly stronger than the scent at the Bronze, maybe 20 of 'em holed up in their. "Grab the handle bars, and keep the bike steady.", I told Giles. "Whu-what?", he stuttered. "I said grab the bars. And keep us heading toward the factory."

Xander, Buffy, Cordelia, Willow and Oz were all in the single cage of the factory. The two couples and their mutual freind were pressed together to tight to escape, or at least that was Angelus' intent. Besides the obvious sexual overtones.
"I know this is California, but could your breasts be any bigger Buffy?!", Cordelia said while trying to squirm more space. "I can barely breathe in here. You're the super chick, can't you suck yours in or something?" "Yes, Cordelia.", Buffy answered tiredly. "That's what Giles has been training me to do-suck in my chest." "Thank God for small favors.", Willow whispered to Oz.
Angelus and Sabretooth stood under the cage, with the other vampires surrounding them in a loose circle. "You've actually done something right, Sabretooth.", Angelus told him. He handed the mutant a breif case, which Sabretooth quickly checked the contents of. The mutant nodded that the ammount was accounted for.
"Now you might consider keeping me on for a just a bit yet.", Sabretooth commented. Some of the vampires surrounding him let out a low growl. Angelus waved them to silence. "That Wolverine's good at paying out debts. And you said this gal's got a Watcher. Is he's loose, shorty should be bustin' through that window right about..."

I lept off the bike for the window as I heard just the faintest hint of my name on the wind. Giles did a good job with the bike-it's hard to stay in one piece when the driver of a hog just lept off and it's going 90 miles an hour. I figured the window slowed me down 20 or 30. Either way, I connected with a vamp on the far side of the factory with a solid punch on the jaw that smacked his impression into the wall.
"Next time,", I says, pushing out my claws. "You get the claws." I was fully aware of me environment-the girl was in a cage right above Sabretooth and the lead vampire, a horde of vamps all over the place, and I did hit the one that dropped the key to the cage. Oh, it was gonna be fun.
I heard Sabretooth rushing me at least 5 feet away, plenty o' time. I grabbed the key, leaned backwards and palmed ole 'tooth's head. His own momentum carried me into a pretty good backwards flip over him. I threw the key up to the cage. One of the kids caught it and unlocked the door. They fell out of the cage to the floor...to the waiting arms of the vampires, actually. If I didn't do something to draw these monster's attention, those kids were dead. So I said the 3 magic words...
