Part Three

"Shit, it's Vampire Willow with more cleavage!" Xander yelled.

"What are doing looking at Willow's cleavage?" Anya yelled back.

"Are they always like this?" D asked under his breath as he steadied Willow after the force that had kept her aloft cut out and dropped her.

"This is actually a good day for them," Willow replied as she pulled away from D and tried to adjust to the changes her body had gone through.

"She's wearing a corset. Her cleavage is kind of hard to miss, Anya," Xander said loudly.

"Can we please not discuss my cleavage?" Willow shouted over at the bickering couple.

"Yes, please," Giles added as he furiously wiped his glasses.

"Alright then, how the hell do you know what a corset is? Oh, my god! You're gay!" Anya screeched, her voice getting louder and higher with each word.

"I am not having this discussion with you," Xander yelled, blushing furiously as he turned his back on Anya.

"No wonder you sent out a call for warriors," a man said as he came up to Willow. " I am Mashira," he said. Willow couldn't help but raise an eyebrow as she took in his appearance. He had shoulder-length black hair, deeply set eyes, and a prominent chin. He had a deep tan and a lot of body hair, but what really got her were his clothes; he was dressed like refugee from A Thousand and One Arabian Nights.

"Mashira," Willow repeated. " Formally of the Barbaroi, you have the usual abilities: super human strength, speed, and dexterity," Willow recited, "as well as being able to see in infrared and change into a half-man, half-beast," she finished as her eyes glazed over and she started rambling information about him. She recited everything from his average speed to his shoe size. "Whoa," she said, once she was through. "@hat a head rush." As she tried to get her head clear she, remembered something very important "Where are all the bloodthirsty monsters that were attacking?" Willow asked as she looked around her.

"Dead for now," a cultured voice said from behind her. Willow turned and came face-to-chest with a tall albino man, wearing a long flowing cape. "I am Meir Link," he said as he bowed his head slightly to Willow.

"Pleasure to meet you," she replied as she returned the nod. "Not again," she hissed as her eyes glazed over. "Meir Link, aristocratic vampire with the ability to fly and change his left hand in to a metal gauntlet. Also able to control the minds of those he bites. Mated to a human maiden named Charlotte." She swayed as she came out of her informative trance. "Shit, this is getting annoying."

"Are you ok?" Xander asked as tried to get close to Willow without going near the three beings that surrounded her.

"I'm fine, Xander," Willow said, as she trained her eyes on the tower and the portal beneath it. "We need to find a way to close that portal."

"My symbiote can swallow spells. It might be able to swallow the one holding the portal open," D said as he moved to stand beside Willow.

"You can feel it too, can't you? The very fabric of this dimension is trying to repair itself," Willow said as she unconsciously wrapped her arm around D's waist. D responded by wrapping his arm around her shoulders pulling her tightly to his side. "Do it. I'll try and help speed up the portal's closing."

Just as D and Willow were about to put their plan into action, they both collapsed. For the next few minutes, there was only shocked silence as they all stared in disbelief at the two crumpled forms.

"Well, that was anticlimactic," Anya said, just before Dawn's heart-breaking screams ripped through the night. Everyone turned to watch as Buffy did a swan dive off the tower. "Never mind," Anya said numbly.
