Chapter 7
Anton moved forward slightly, still holding the Sword of
Darkness towards Sailor Moon. He limped, and Tuxedo Mask saw it. He
did not let Anton know that he had seen it; a surprise attack would
really help.
"You all will die, by MY hand!" Anton did not notice the
fact that Buffy had escaped, with the help of Xander and Willow. He
only saw the Sailor Soldiers, Tuxedo Mask, and his master frozen.
Tuxedo Mask stepped forward.
Anton pointed the sword at him. "Stay back!"
Tuxedo Mask positioned himself so that he was between the end
of the Sword, and Antrosis. Anton kept the sword pointed at Tuxedo
Mask.
"Let this be a lesson to you. Never mess with a vampire."
Anton unleashed the magic, and a beam of pure fire emitted from the
sword, and headed straight for Tuxedo Mask. The Soldiers gasped, as
they thought for sure that he was about to bite the dust.
Just as the beam was about to reach Tuxedo Mask, he leaped to
the side, and rolled when he landed. The fire beam hit Antrosis'
frozen form, and seared right through his chest. The ice shattered
into a million pieces, and flew everywhere. Antrosis let out a
blood-curdling scream, and his heart was burning, thus slowly killing
him. Before anyone could do or say anything, Antrosis' eyes, open
mouth, and ears started to spew fire. He slowly started to
disintegrate, and everyone watched in horror. Antrosis' last screams
echoed through the dingy cave, and a pile of dust occupied the spot
where he had once stood. Anton looked at the pile of dust, and
realized that he was now free to do things HIS way. Anton looked at
Tuxedo Mask, who was now standing on his feet.
"Well done. You managed to make me kill my master. Now I
will have to kill you." Tuxedo Mask took out a rose, threw it, and
hit Anton's hurt ankle with it. "Ow!" The positive energy managed
to stun Anton for a moment. Sailor Mercury used her Ice Storm Blast
to cover Anton with ice, making him immobile. Tuxedo Mask jumped up,
spun around, and kicked Anton's head off.
"Let's go," he said.
"Wait," Sailor Moon said. She walked over to the frozen head
of Anton, and kneeled down beside it. She picked an icecicle from
it. She walked over to the still standing frozen body of Anton, and
plunged the icecicle into the chest. She then turned to the others.
"Now, we can go." She walked over to the portal, and stepped
through. Tuxedo Mask was the first to follow, then Sailor Mars,
Venus, Jupiter, and lastly, Mercury.
_____________________________________________________________________
The Sailors stepped out of the portal, along with Tuxedo
Mask. They were in the back yard of the Sunnydale High School. They
saw a light on the top floor. It was coming from the library. The
Soldiers powered down to their regular form. They ran to the back
door, and ran all the way to the library. When they entered, they
saw Buffy, Xander, Willow, and Giles.
"You guys okay?" Raye asked.
"Yeah," Buffy said. "Aside from the bandaged forehead, I'm
as good as new."
"We're all fine," Giles said. He looked at the group of new
friends, and noticed something. "Uh, where's Angel?" No one had an
answer.
_____________________________________________________________________
Angel stared at the half-frozen body of Anton, slowly
thawing. He wanted to see the entire process of Anton's death. It
would give him a little pleasure to see Anton turn to dust.
As the body continued to thaw, so did the head. Soon, the
body fell, so that the top pointed toward the head. The icecicle
that had been rammed through the chest had not thawed much. Angel
watched, and watched. Then, the unthinkable happened.
Lightning flew between the head and the body, and within an
instant, the two were connected again. Anton got up, as Angel hid
behind a large rock. Anton looked down, and saw the icecicle. He
pulled it out.
"Looks like somebody missed my heart." The icecicle had been
jabbed into the left side of his chest. "I thought everyone knew
that the heart was located in the center of the chest. Oh well."
Anton threw the icecicle down, and picked up the Sword of Darkness,
which had been laying beside him.
Anton walked back into the deepest recess of the cave. Angel
started to edge his way toward the portal that lead to Sunnydale. He
was cautious, and made no sound. He found his way to the portal, and
stepped through. He did not notice that Anton had been watching him.
{ Let him warn his friends, } thought Anton. { It will do
them no good. They will all die. }
_____________________________________________________________________
Serena and Raye were the only two sitting in the library.
They had been entrusted with the task of keeping an eye on the place
while the others were away. The others were looking for Angel,
hoping that he had only been a little behind stepping through the
portal.
_____________________________________________________________________
Darien, Mina, Lita, Amy, Xander, Willow, Buffy, and Giles
were outside the school building. They looked around, looking for
Angel. They did not see him.
{ I don't like this, } Darien thought. Suddenly, he heard a
noise. It came from the back. He darted around the building, and
saw what he was looking for. "Angel! Where were you?"
"In the cross-dimension. I saw Anton. He's not dead."
Darien's eyes grew wide, first with surprise, then with fear. "He
didn't see me. At least, I don't think so. Look, we have to do
something." Darien looked at Angel for a second, eyes narrowing.
"All right. Let's tell the others."
_____________________________________________________________________
"Well, that sucks," Buffy said as she heard the news about
Anton.
"Does he still have the Sword of Darkness?" Giles asked.
Angel looked at him with an expression that clearly meant: What do
you think? "Oh," Giles said, understanding the expression. They all
headed back to the school library, and told Serena and Raye.
"We need to do something, and do it now," Serena said.
"I say we kill him," Buffy said.
"That's our Buffy," Xander said. "Always the one to say
'Kill, kill, kill." He received strange looks from everybody. "I'm
shutting up now. You all can have a normal conversation," he said
with a slight smile.
"We need to get that sword," Lita said.
"But how?" Mina asked.
"It shouldn't be too hard. All we need is a distraction, and
somebody could grab the sword," Darien said.
"Like I said, I'll kill him. That oughtta distract him."

Whoa! Are you all following this? I hope so. I really do. If
you're confused about anything, email me at cowboys@wwd.net, and I'll
be happy to explain things. Just don't ask for any spoilers, cause
then you won't have to read any further ^_^ And, I doesn't look like
I'm gonna be able to finish this series up any time soon. What I
mean is that there will probably be many more parts. If that
happens, then this will be my longest running series ever! Being a
die-hard fan of both Sailor Moon, and Buffy The Vampire Slayer: The
Series, I found I could write a lot more with this story. Also, if
you have the WB (WB11, I think), tune in every Tuesday night at 8:00
p.m. EST/7:00 p.m. central. And, HANG ON!! I DON'T HAVE MY THANK
YOU LIST UP YET! Well, here it is. Thank you all who have supported
me. It really means a lot. I would go through and name you all
individually, but I simply can not remember everyone's names. So, if
you have encouraged me, I thank you. If you have not encouraged me,
you can start any time you want ^_^ If you have been mean to me,
flamed me, then shame on you (tisk, tisk).
