At the front of the school:

The police and fire vehicles have packed up all their gear and are now heading out, including one cop driving the group's school bus with all their supplies.

One by one each one heads out to the road and out of sight away from the school. Except one police car.

This police car back instead begins to slowly circle the building.

"Alright time to bail out of here." Buffy begins to lead the others back thru the tunnel in which she came from.

As Buffy lead the group down the hallway, they approached a side exit leading outside.  Mike recognized it as the way he came in.

Before they made it that far, there was a familiar and not very welcome growl coming closer, then before they knew it, there was an ubervamp in front of them.

Then they heard the same growling noise coming from behind them except louder, as two ubervamps came up behind them.

They were surrounded.


OCC:To the combat thread. Three ubervamps to contend with.  One in front, two in back.  Running not an option at the moment since you are surrouded.

Mike tells Buffy "You take the pair, I've got this one."

He figures Buffy is several orders of magnitude more powerful then he is, and will be able to dispatch hers in half the time it takes him to dispatch this one. Perhaps he's too overawed, as it's not his best performance ever, even as he launches a one two punch combo followed by some lackluster defense. But it gets the job done as both of his fists slam into the lone ubervamp.

"Control your fear!  Control your fear!" Annabelle shouted, giving herself a pep talk.  She managed to hold herself together this time as she moved in and and landed a kick into the midsection of the vampire Mike was going after, the Slayer would no help from her or anyone.

Graham pulls his knife and goes after the lone Ubervamp, hoping Buffy can finish hers off quickly and help him out. He slashes out with the knife quickly cutting into the ubervamp's flesh before bringing it back up to defend himself with with.

The lone Turok-Han swung his fist at Mike and missed.  The triple threat attack has overwhelmed him.  This poor sucker is just waiting for someone to put a stake in his heart and put him out of his misery.


This left the Buffenator to deal with the remaining vamps that the others didn't touch. "Ok you rejects who wants to dance!?" As Buffy attempts to use Kung Fu on the first vamp closest to her position. And misses.  It would appear the Buffster is off her game and could use a hand.  But her defense was quite formidable as she evaded the attacks of both ubervamps.

OCC: Back to the combat thread.  No damage to the heroes this round.  The two vamps Buffy is figthing are undamaged, the lone one is barely standing up.

Annabelle watched as the ubervamp was ovewhelmed by their triple attack.  Her fear took a drop, while her confidence began to rise.  "You bloody bastard!!  You aren't so invincible after all!!!"she screamed as she drove her wooden stake to his heart, looking to finish him off.  The stake plunged into the ubervamp with a THOK.  Pause. Then he exploded into dust.

With this ubervamp dusted, the way to the door and out into the sun was now clear.

Mike goes to assist Buffy...and is so utterly surprised she needs help it distracts him from launching a good attack as his fist misses the Turok-Han.

"Since when do you need help?" Something's not right here. She's supposed to be the strongest being alive.

Seeing that Annabelle seemed to have things in hand, Graham follows Mike to take one of the two Ubervamps off Buffy's hands.  "Is now really the time to be critiquing her performance," Graham grunts out while lashing out at the Vamp with his knife and having better luck than Mike as his knife slices through the ubervamp's midsection.  "Besides who knows how many of these things she has already fought? We were tired after just a few yesterday and she was down below fighting hundreds of them," he says while moving his blade up to defend against the Vamps probable counter attack.

The monster goes after Mike first and misses, totally throwing off any intent to go after Graham this time.

The comments made by the others were the least of her concerns. Buffy had to get the others out. However there is a chance that they would clearly ask questions. The Buffenator would have to meet that challenge after this little matter of this latest vampiric threat. She attempts the punch the one she just missed a moment ago and succeeds as her right fist smashes into his horrible face followed by her left fist smashing into his gut.

OCC: Two ubervamps still up, no others have shown up yet.  No damage to the heroes this round.  Since the first vamp who was blocking the way out is now dust, anyone can head for the door and out in the sun if they want with no trouble except Mike. This is the way Mike came in, so he can try to leave the same way, by making a dexterity plus acrobatics roll to land in the shade on the other side if he gets four sucess levels, he takes just two points of sun damage.

Mike saw Buffy get her game back, and that inspires Mike himself to get back to peak performance! It's like watching her in action shows him how fighting should be done. That's more like the Buffy of legend.

He one twos the vampire Buffy just hit, with a punch, then a stake through the heart to finish it off. His stake hits the mark, the vampire explodes to dust, and then he turns his attention to the last one...

"One down..."

"I got him!  HA!" Annabelle shouts as she jumps up and down a couple of times then composes herself and hopes everyone was too busy fighting to notice.

"Right then."she says calmly as she then drives her wooden stake into the heart of the other ubervamp.

The monster explodes into dust, leaving the heroes alone in the hallway.  For the moment.  Exit door only a few yards away.


OCC:All Turok-Hans in your vicinity dusted.  Exit door is close by if you want to leave now, Mike must make the aforementioned dex plus acrobatics roll to avoid the sunlight and hit the shade on the other side.




Annabelle Berkshire rolled 11 using 1d10+7. defense.
Annabelle Berkshire rolled 20 using 1d10+14. stake to heart with dp.

Buffy paused to look at the now dusted vampires. "Take that you vampires! Hopefully we won't have anymore surprises for awhile." Her hands are on that exit door.

"We shall. I hate doing this..."

But then he takes a FLYING LEAP out the door, exposing himself to the sun for a mere fraction of a second before landing safely on the other side.

23:53, Today: Michael Smith rolled 16 using 1d10+12. I believe I can fly pt 2!

Mike lands safely in the shade, feeling his flesh burn for just an instant, as the others follow him out the door.

He doesn't have long to celebrate as he and everyone else sees the police car with the two cops standing in front of it, just a couple of yards away from where he landed.

"Well, well, well.  Looks like we made a smart move, guarding this door to see if anyone came out this way.  Now we've got them all." one cop says to the other as they both pull out their batons.  "Why don't you kids just get  in the back of the car and we'll all go down to the station, nice and easy."he said.  These aren't the two cops Annabelle and Graham previously fought, they're fresh and ready for a fight.

OCC: Two points of damage to Mike for his brief sun exposure. Now more trouble.  Back to the combat thread.  Unless you want to surrender of course.  Two cops against the four of you, they have their batons out, not their guns yet.  Good guys have initiative. The cops and their car are in the shade so Mike can fight them without worrying about the sun.

"I'd figure that this will happen sooner or later. Let's see how well use can use those batons." She charges the nearest officer to attempt to punch his lights out. One punch connects to his gut as the second hits him in the face.  The cop hits the ground, unconcious and bleeding.

"I'll let you heavy hitters take this one."Annabelle said, staying out of the way, and trying not to get hit as Buffy engaged the policemen.

The other cop's eyes just about pop out of his head as he watches Buffy pulverize his partner.  "That girl's not just on PCP, she's on steroids too!!  Hang on pal!!  I'm gonna run back to the station and get help!!" the other cop screams as he takes off running into the sunlight and is quickly out of sight.

It's now just the four heroes, one unconcious cop, and one police car with the keys in the ignition.

Annabelle stares at quickly disappearing cop in disbelief, then turns to everyone else.

"Well, that went swimmingly, I'm suprised to say.  Now let's make use of this police vehicle and get out of here.  I hope one of you knows how to driive, because I dont'"

"Problem...there's no blanket in that police vehicle, and it's pretty sunny out there. I'll have to go back underground, but the rest of you can get away."

Mike found the entrance he'd used to get to this point to begin with...

"I can drive us out of here, but we need to be quick or we we will have more company. Also are either of you good with computers?" Graham asks looking at Buffy and Annabeth.  "They might be able to track the car if we don't shut down the GPS system."

"I'm bloody awful with computers, but I'm all for getting our of here as soon as possible.  Let's see if there's anything useful in the trunk."

Annabelle finds the trunk release in the police car, the circles to the back to inspect what's inside.  "Oh look, we've a got a blanket, Michael doesn't have to be left behind after all.  And here's a really big rifle too."

She throws the blanket to Mike and passes the rifle to Graham.  "Here Graham, I'm sure you can make good use of this.  Well Buffy, what's the plan? That policeman who ran off will soon be telling his fellows that we're not dead."

"For now we just need to bail and quickly. I'm Buffy. I slay vampires."

"I wish I could tell you all how much hiding under a blanket hurts...at any rate, find somewhere to hide first...then head to Los Angeles once night falls. We might have a place to stay there."

Nonetheless, he hides under the blanket as best he can, and, well, does his best eskimo impression.

Moment later, Graham is at the wheel of the police car. Buffy is sitting up front next to him.  Annabelle is in the back, with Mike lying down on the seat covered by a blanket.

As they circle to the front of the school, they not surprisngly see their bus with all their equipment they packed is now gone. Graham pulls the police car out of the school parking lot and on to the main road.

Now their next move is to decide where to hide out for the time being.

In reply to Director (msg # 26):
"Mike, would you be ok in the sewer tunnels? If so, we could drive around in circles then stop near a sewer entrance and use the sewers to get to my parents house."

"Gotta admit they'd be more comfortable then hiding under a blanket. You've got a functional shower, right?"

He can just shower when the moon comes up, and it's all good.

Entering Sunnydale:

Emilia drove through the abandoned streets of Sunnydale... "Well this place looks like the bloody mary celeste" Through the gloom she looked around. "Well this is fun." she thought to herself slightly distracted she accidentally mounted the curb before managing to right the car. She couldn't see an open hotel or anywhere for her to stay...

Emilia what are you doing here? she thought to herself Getting some stupid sms into my noggin and end up driving through an abandoned yank city she sighed to herself, reaching forward she turned on the radio... no local channels only a few from California state radio.

Sighing she was just about to turn and ride out of the city when she saw the flashing blue and red lights down a street. "Finally police... they can tell me what the heck is going on." she muttered as turned the car down the street wobbling a bit to get on the wrong side of the road again. "Don't know how these yanks drive this way." she muttered to herself.

Finally she managed to pull the car to a stop by the police car... there were a few people standing around the car. She failed completely to notice the unconscious cop by the car. She wound down the window.

"Excuse me." She called out the window, "Could anyone here direct me to a hotel or travel lodge?" she said with her posh English accent.

"Are we certain splitting up is the smart thing to do?  Couldn't we just find an empty house for temporarty quarters until sunset?  There's no shortage of those. Annabelle turns her attention to the vampire hiding under the blanket.  "Wouldn't you like that Michael?  Take a shower in a nice windowless bathroom, then catch a nap and let your vampire regeneration do what it does.  Then you'll wake up sound as a pound, and ready to hit the road at sunset.  All this running about in the daytime must be dreadful on.........

Annabelle stops in mid-sentence as she watches the other car approach.  She is very suspicious of the newcomer.  For about two seconds that is until she hears the girl's accent which identifies her country (and social status)of origin. "Well hello.  I'm new in town myself, but I'm afraid we won't be staying long. This town is nearly devoid of human life for some reason. My friends and I were discussing our options for leaving.............in this nice abandoned police car we found.Annabelle finishes in her own posh British accent.  She left out the details about vampires and the hellmouth for now, until they figure out what, if anything the girl knows about those sort of things.

Emilia sighed as she heard Annabelle speaking, "Aw fiddlesticks!" she cursed, "What do you mean abandoned why the heck would someone... or something get me to come to this place when its a bloody ghost town?" She paused "Well regardless I need to get this car to a fuel station, if I'm going to have to drive all the way back to Los Angeles. Is there one still open anywhere around here?" She asked biting back the curse words her tutor had encouraged her not to use anymore.

"We can direct you to a working petrol station.  It's actually not open, but the pumps are working.  You shouldn't stay in town for  long, there are a lot of...............looters about.  We were leaving ourselves, except.......................one of us is a bit sick and a long car ride might not be the healthiest thing for him." Annabelle finished as she processed the information that someone or something made the girl come here.

"So what brings you here exactly?  You're quite far from home."

Emilia almost laughed, "You would think I was crazy if I told you." She turned off the engine and walked over to the group she was slightly hesitant, however this group, although it looked like they may have stolen a police car didn't seem so bad. In fact one of the men seemed quite handsome. She cast him an admiring look but continued to talk to Annabella, "Far from home? Pot, Kettle, Black sweety," she sighed she thought briefly about telling these people but decided last thing she needed was to be put into an American insane asylum, "You would think I was crazy if I told you." She avoided with a shrug.

 "If there are looters about why are you guys still here?" From what she had seen on American TV LA was filled with insanely good looking people and the streets were violent and dangerous, this place possibly slightly more so, for all she knew it was a common teenage hobby to rob police cars... her father had told her than when he was a young man he had stolen a policeman's hat... Americans always taking things one step too far....

"What are you guys doing with a police car then." she then noticed the unconscious police man, she started to back away, despite Annabelle not seeming like a psychopath or a criminal for all Emilia knew she was being held against her will. "Or am i safer not knowing?" She said backing further away.

"The police in this town are either corrupt, insane, or under the thumb of some evil mastermind.  Perhaps all of the above.  They've tried to beat us and lock us up in that abandoned school building over there, all because they claim we are on drugs."Annabelle said.  Nothing false about that statement.

Annabelle took a closer look at the girl.  She wasn't frail or unhealthy per se, but her arms weren't exactly robust.  She didn't appear to be much of a physical match for even a weaker vampire.

"It's not safe for you to be alone.  You really should come with us.  Long story short, we each came here for various reaons, but since the town is now deserted and dangerous we're trying to leave, but the aforementioned local constabulary keeps thwarting our efforts."
