Chapter 8
Anton stared at the ring of fire he had created with the Sword of
Darkness. This ring of fire was surrounding a pentagram, drawn on the dirt
floor of the cave. Anton's eyes beamed.
"Forces of hell, I call upon thee. Bring forth your worst demon, and make
him serve me! I command you!" Anton plunged the Sword of Darkness into
the center of the pentagram. Bolts of black lightning shot up from the
pentagram, and the floor opened with a rumble. A monster floated up, with
lightning swirling around it's shadowy mass. The floor closed, and the
monster was standing on the pentagram. The lightning subsided, and the
Sword of Darkness returned to Anton's hand.
"Master..." The monster was about eight feet tall. It had no apparent
surface, as it was all one big shadow. It stood there, waiting for a
command.
< *THIS* is the worst demon from hell? > Anton thought. < Must be having
a slow millennium. > "So, your the worst, huh? What do you specialize
in?"
"Mimicry an possession. I can be inside of anyone's body at anytime,
making them do whatever I want, or I can take the form of anything that I
touch."
< This guy may come in handy after all. > "Well, that is interesting. I
have a job for you." Anton grinned evilly.

"You guys stay here. I have to do this alone."
"No way Buffy," Willow said. "If all of us can barely escape, what chance
does any ONE of us have? At least let a couple of us go."
"No! This is MY fight! And I'm not gonna let you all get yourselves
killed in this!"
"Buffy, please. Take a few people," Angel said. "You can take me."
"You saw what that sword did to a vampire with nearly unlimited power.
Imagine what it could do to you. I don't want that to happen to you."
"Well, we're going with you," Amy said. "At least...*I* am going with
you. You saw what my ice can do."
"Actually, no I didn't. I wasn't there. I was already back here."
"Well, my ice can freeze them in their tracks. They can't move when
they're frozen."
"You would both be smart to NOT go," Giles said. "There is only one
weapon that can stand against the Sword of Darkness, and we don't have the
slightest clue as to where it is."
"Nice of you tell me," Buffy said in a raised voice. "I almost went to
certain death!"
"What is this weapon?" Willow asked.
"Well, it's called the Sword of Light. It has magical properties that can
neutralize those of the Sword of Darkness. It is supposed to be made
entirely of white magic, and stored in a small, compact space. It can be
called upon by only one person, who is supposedly immortal. This person is
supposed to be a man of mystery."
Serena took out her locket. She just wanted to hear its beautiful melody
one more time. She was shaking, as she was scared of what might happen.
She dropped her locket.
"Allow me," Darien said. He bent down, and picked up the locket. As he
held it, it began to glow. The light burst from the locket, and flowed
through Darien. He became a mass of white light, and soon was dressed in
body armor that was just like his Prince Darien armor. The only difference
was that it was white. A swirling mass of white light shot out from his
hand, and solidified in the form of a sword. A sheath appeared at his
side.
"Oh...my...God..." was all anyone could mutter. It was clear now. Darien
was the immortal one...the chosen one. Darien was the White Knight.

The shadowy demon moved around the halls of Sunnydale High. He touched
everything, so he could quickly take shape of something, if need be. He
soon found his way to the library. He saw all the people in there, and he
saw Darien turn into the White Knight. The demon had heard enough stories
to know what was about to happen. He hurried out of the school, and down
to the portal. He jumped through.

The shadow demon appeared before Anton. He bowed his head slightly.
"What do you have to report?" Anton asked hastily.
"The White Knight has returned. He has the Sword of Light." Anton moved
forward slightly.
"Are you sure?"
"Absolutely. It is definitely the Sword of Light." Anton grinned.
"Well...now I can have a real fight."

To Be Continued....

OK, OK, I know...a really short part. But I just wanted to make slight
(erm..) revelation in this chapter. I just HAD to do it! As if Darien
didn't have enough of an identity crisis all ready...
Anyway, hope you liked it, and if you didn't sorry ^_~ Are you all geared
up for the big fight? Good. And, if you thought Buffy was the one who was
going to have to kill Anton, I have one thing to say..."Ha! Fooled you!"
Well, I gotta go! Thanks so much to everyone who has emailed me with their
compliments and words of encouragement. It really means a lot to me.
Princess Serena, if you read this, thanks for everything! Your emails to
me really help! Sorry my one email almost melted your motherboard...
hehe...
