He listened to Giles and Xander silently. Ethan. The idea fit with most of the things he's been hearing out on the streets. Then Buffy spoke: "Why not tell us who or what exactly let this thing loose instead of having to be all mysterious and secretive about it?"
Angel paused, mildly taken aback by Buffy's attitude. Angel supposed she had every right to be frustrated though. "Not trying to be." Angel responded dryly. He advanced down the rest of the stairs and addressed the group, digging his hands in his pockets again. "Look, the idea that this is Ethan isn't so far fetched. I mean, the power that he deals with isn't some walk around the park. Anyone who fools around with the dark arts is a threat."
He gazed at Buffy. "I'm only telling you what I know from what I hear, which isn't much. But what I do know is that who ever has this dragon on his leash is not done yet. If that someone is Ethan, we need to find him." He looked back at the group. "And we'll need Willow's help."

Giles adjusts his glasses, looking up sternly. "Yes...Angel is right. With power this great we need to act fast. I know Ethan...He will want towant to hide out somewhere dark, in a factory of the sort...Xander, how about you get Willow, Angel you can find some more leads on Ethan's location and Buffy...you can help me research more on the dragon and the sword."

Amongst the disscussion, something hit Xander hard, it was something he has never experienced before. "How dare you Angel! Waltzing in here and telling us that we can't deal with, whatever or who ever this is. I bet you think you can deal with it don't ya! Ohh I mister vampire with a soul, I can do anything cause I'm a vampire. Oh la la. Well you can do anything but have sex with out losing your soul." Xander was saying things he didn't want to say.
It was like something or someone was controlling him. "And you!" He turned to Giles, "leave those weird English clothes at home, we're in America. And stop bossing us around. Why can't you go find Willow and research by yourself!" This is not what Xander wanted at all.
Outside the library door, oblivious to everyone Ethan Rayne was watching. A smirk formed on his lips. "That should do for now." He began laughing silently.

Angel nodded towards Giles and moved a bit to head out when Xander started ranting at him. He stopped and glared at his childish outburst. Normally, he would just let the kid have his little tantrum. He didn't have time for fooling around. But he felt something inside of him. Something a bit strange. Instead of ignoring him and dashing out of there, he glared at Xander intensely, his eyes showing his anger.
"You are way out of your league, Xander." His voice dropped an octave. "You think you know all there is to know about what's out there just because you've, during your very few years of living, been on top of the Hellmouth. Doesn't work that way, Xander. You're a kid. You know nothing about the what happens when the sun goes down. So do me a favor. Listen, and shut up for once."
Angel didn't know what was getting into him. It was like he was acting on impulse, but wasn't his impulse. The prospect of that was never a good one for Angel. He wanted to leave but a part of him wanted to see if Xander had the nerve to say something else.

"And you know everything, don't you Angel? I know everything cause I'm the feared Angelus." He mocked him as Angel's voice dropped an octave and his heightened an octave.
"You know what Angel, just because your a vampire with a soul doesn't make you special, it just makes you more of a bigger pain in the ass." Xander was saying this but he didn't believe it. Ever since he's know Angel, he's never done anything but good. He couldn't help it.
"Need more anger" Ethan said, and held his hand out. A blue shard of light came out of his hand and enveloped everyone until it slowly disappeared.
Xander felt himself grow angrier, he went and pounded on the wall to stop himself from hitting Angel. He did know that it would be a matter of time before he cracked more. He rested his head upon the wall, taking slow even breaths to calm himself down. It wasn't working.

Suddenly, Giles felt the need for an outburst, he couldn't take the arguing anymore. "For Gods sake Xander, will you stop being an immature idiot for 5 minutes? We have more pressing issues than of your resentment for Angel! You don't like me bossing you around? Well I don't bloody see you giving a half assed effort!" Giles was furious. He cooled down, then strided into his office and slammed the door.
"Yes....let out all your hatred Ripper...Show them who you really are!" Ethan grins coldly, then walks through the corridors satisfied.

"I know everything cause I'm the feared Angelus," Xander said.
Angel laughed in his head, with out any humor. The kid doesn't know what he's talking about. If it didn't make him so furious, he would've laughed out loud. His dark eyes burned holes into Xander. "Believe me, if I were Angelus you wouldn't be standing right now." Xander thought this was one big joke, but they were dealing with life and death. If Xander wasn't so immature, he'd see that.
"You know what Angel, just because your a vampire with a soul doesn't make you special, it just makes you more of a bigger pain in the ass."
Angel slowly walked around him, feeling he needed to move to try and calm himself down. "I'd be a bigger pain in the ass if I didn't have a soul." Honestly, even if he did have a soul, he had the burning urge to show him a taste of the kind of pain Angelus would inflict. But instead he said the following, the pacing of his words showing how much he was trying to contain his anger: "And once again, you keep talking about things that you have no clue about. This is not a game." He paused and listened to Giles. He glared at Xander as he moved away to pound on the wall. With out realizing it, Angel found himself flexing his fingers at his sides. "You heard the man. You are no help here. So why don't you grab your books, go home and study. Leave the job for people who can handle it."
"Stop holding it in, Angel." Ethan said, pausing before walking out as he was hearing his conversation. He turned back around and held his hand out. "Show that monster you really are."
Angel feeling a sudden surge of anger, turned away from his glare and felt himself involuntarily morph into his true vampire form. He shook his head and morphed back. Something strange was going on. Why was he feeling like this?

Xander laughed so loud when Angel morphed, because he thought that Angel was just trying to scare him, he didn't realise that Angel was being controlled by Ethan. "Ohh I must be scary because I can make my face bumpy!" Xander was having enough.
At first, the anger he felt knew wasn't him, but know though it did and he couldn't help himself. He made himself to the weapons and grabbed out an axe. "Well do you know what else is scary Angel?" He glared at Angel, "A psycho with an axe!" He charged at Angel.

Giles hears all the shouting and commotion and rushes out of his office with a crossbow. He then proceeds to look at Xander....his face turns pale...with disgust.
"You bloody twit!" Giles aims the crossbow effortlessly, shooting Xander in the left leg! "You want another one you stupid boy?!" Giles throws the crossbow at Xander, then grabs a thick book and starts whacking Xander hard with it, knocking him to the floor.

Xander was caught by surprise when Giles shot him in the left with a crossbow, Xander screamed in pain when it happened, and to make it even worse Giles started beating him with a book, Xander was in so much pain that he couldn't even scream, man can't his leg ever get a break, he had a piece of wood go through it at the Bronze and now.
Xander fell to the floor, he ignored the book for a second and ripped the arrow out of his leg and stabbed it into Giles' thigh.

Giles winches in pain, but gets a hit in on Xander, then begins brawling with Xander, crashing into the table and chairs.
I nearly have enough anger for my spell.....Hmmm.....maybe the slayer will care to unleash some for me....

Post by Buffy Summers on Mar 12, 2009 22:12:43 GMT 9.5
Buffy watched as Xander and Angel began to bicker... she was surprised yes, but not that surprised as she knew they didn't like each other. However, she'd never heard them actually speak their anger like this. Then Giles attacked Xander and that got her mad. How dare he, considering he was a lot older and was supposed to be more mature than that. It seemed the gang had gone mad, she'd never seen them act like this before.
But she could feel something she hadn't felt in a while... white hot rage. She didn't know why or how, but at least she had a little bit more control. However, she could only put up with so much and when Xander and Giles began to really fight, Buffy knew it was time to step in. She pulled them apart and threw Giles in one direction and Xander in the other, using more strength then she'd intended.
"Enough! We are all adults here, not little, silly children!" Now she turned to Angel. "I'm also so tired of hearing you and Xander dissing each other... I have some advice for both of you... GET OVER IT."

When Buffy push Giles and Xander apart, he figured that she forgot how strong she was as he went through the air and crashed through the doors. That time of the month he thought. He heard her call them children.
"Xander Harris is no child" he muttered to himself before he limped through the doors. "Who do you think you are calling us children!" He crowed. It was one thing he hated most other then Angel, was being called a child.

Angel held his forhead, trying to shake the strange feeling. Trying to shake the feeling of rage as he Xander and Giles started going at each other.
Help them, Angel thought. But his thoughts weren't joining up with his feelings at the moment. All he wanted to do was punch something. He put his hands on the table and lowered his head, trying to shake it off. Then he heard Buffy's voice directed at him. "I'm also so tired of hearing you and Xander dissing each other... I have some advice for both of you... GET OVER IT."
"Yeah. I'm tired of a few things myself, Buffy." ANgel said, his head still lowered, his voice low. He suddenly and violently slammed the table with his fist making the table crack down the middle and split in half, collapsing. He spun around to Buffy and started approaching her, step by step. "I'm tired of feeling like I'm always walking on thin ice when I'm around you. In fact, every time I see you, you always act like I did something wrong. Well you know what? I'm trying to HELP you. Apparently you can't see that because you've got people like Xander over there making you believe that everything is a game. So why don't you wake up!" Angel's piercing eyes twitched a bit as he stared a Buffy. He was fighting the urge to morph. "Wake up and realize who is on your side before you drive them away."
He couldn't believe he was saying all these hurtful things deep down. But on the surface, the anger in Angel was just barely being contained.

Buffy breaks up the brawl, then Giles seems to retain his composure, unsure of what just happened. Why did I just attack Xander with a crossbow? This was the question that was spinning through Gile's head.
He was speechless....he couldnt find an answer for what had just happened. Xander....I am sorry...but this just proves that summoning dragon's isn't the only spell Ethan has been working on. He knows that seperating us....will make us weak, and it has."
Giles grabbed some supplies and applied a bandage to his wound, then assisted with Xander's, as Angel starts arguing with Buffy. "Yes...Angel is right. I think Angel has been very useful to us as of late." What did Giles's opinion matter anyway....He was the watcher who was always disregarded....
