Grass Roots Pt 1

It had been a quiet patrol day. Two vampires, both ex-Microsoft workers, no real problem. Buffy was about to enjoy her first real night's sleep in years when she got a call on her cell phone.
"Buffy, it's Giles. There have been various reports in the news about disappearances in the woods. Suggest you go and take a look." Buffy groaned. For once, just for once, she'd like a night where she got some sleep.
The wood was eerie and empty. Hardly a scene of multiple disappearances, just your stereotypical eerie wood.
Then came the root from the ground that tied itself round Buffy's foot.
"Oh please. I..." Buffy was about to make a witty remark, but felt the root enter her body, turning her limbs into branches, leaves where hair once was, leaving only Buffy's face as a reminder of what she was.
"Oh great. Well, at least I can get some sl...AAAGH!" From her branches ripped out fruit. Fruit that looked like her...

Pt 2

(Thanks)

Pt 2

Buffy was shocked to see the fruit move. A bit like her, only with weird glazed eyes and looking a bit zombie-ish. She wondered how many more zombie fruit people there were out there.
Her friends would soon find out. It was a good thing Willow had that blocking spell to hand. Xander then looked out the window. "Hey, that looks like...Buffys?!"
"Giant strawberry Buffys. Today is officially way too weird." commented Dawn. "So, what do we do now?"
"The only sensible thing we can do is get down to the wood. See what we're up against." Giles concluded.
"So, is this the new dictionary definition of sensible which translates to 'suicide'?" Xander countered "What, those zombie fruits will let us go past?"


"This is the dumbest idea in the history of dumb" groaned Xander, clad head to toe as a blueberry.
"Just keep looking zombieish" growled Giles, watching as Tara and Willow stayed back at Buffy's house.
"Why do they get to stay back?" Xander asked impatiently.
"Because we might need them".

Pt 3

"I so should have gone to acting school!" Xander grinned as he reached the wood.
"Yes, the critics will applaud your portrayl of yourself!" snapped Giles back.
"BUFFY!" yelled Dawn, unconcerned at their bickering. She then saw Buffy close up...
"Dawn, get out of here!" Buffy warned. "I'm about to release fruit again."
"We'll chop you out of there!" Dawn announced, pulling out an axe. Within seconds, she was the first to gripped by the roots.
Hours later, as they all were trapped in the forest, Dawn added
"at least you're not alone!"
"Great" Buffy sarcastically noted. "I'm a tree, alongside the people who are supposed to rescue me!"

"HA!HA!HA!" came a mischievious voice. "I AM LOKI!"
Giles groaned. The God Of Mischief had turned them all into trees.
How humiliating.

Thanks

Next part coming v.soon!


Pt 4

"Uh oh" said Tara. Generally, that was not the sign of a pleasant suprise. Willow looked out. Sure enough, more fruit zombies, this time in the shape of Giles, Xander, Anya and Dawn.
"Now what?" asked Tara. "We can't go out there."
"No, we can't stop them like that. I know who's doing this and we have to take him head on."
"Him? What, you guys were romantically related?"
"No, Loki, the Norse god of mischief. Only he could be so stupid as to turn people into trees and make them spread their fruit across the Hellmouth. We have to get to the ahem, root of the problem" Willow concluded. "Basically, it's magic time"

"Well, this is the longest vacation I ever had from slaying" Buffy's attempt to look on the bright side was not well received. Even Buffy's face became crestfallen when she got a major itch. "Damn magpie, get off my branch! Oh man, not a woodpecker!"

Pt 5

"You're suggesting we take on The God Of Mischief?"
"Yeah."
"On his home turf?"
"Yeah."
"Remember the trouble we had fighting Glory?"
"Yeah. Are you in?"
"Yeah".
With that, Tara and Willow took to the spells, ready to take possibly the biggest (or stupidest) risk of their lives. It involved them going to Loki's mischief dimension itself.

After all the dust and the chanting, there they were. At a fairground? "Great, we're in a place that resembles the start of Dungeons And Dragons." Tara groaned.
She was even less pleased when the giant teddy bear that was leaking milk came lumbering towards them. "Just our luck, the God of mischief is a fan of anim...aaagh!" yelled Willow, her guts spilling out, inflating her body.
"Where are you, you sick freak?" yelled Tara, who's body was then encased in a giant coconut.

"NOBODY STOPS LOKI. SURRENDER, OR I UNLEASH YOUR FRIENDS!"
 
Thanks! 🙂

Pt 6

"We don't exactly have a choice in this" groaned Tara.
"We have to surrender." Damn Tara's rational thinking, thought Willow. What would Buffy do?

"So..." Loki slimed with his voice "Are you having fun yet?"
"Actually..."Willow corrected "We think you're a dumb stupid wuss who isn't funny in the slightest" Loki slammed his fist into Willow's gooified body. "What did I tell you? You're a god, and you swing like a girl!"
"I could beat you any time!"
"What would be really funny was if you tried to take on Buffy as a vampire, she back in slayer form. We'd laugh our asses off!"
"AND SO IT SHALL BE DONE!" yelled Loki. "You will have your fight, and I will have my fun."
Buffy tapped him on the shoulder.
"Correction. This is where I start to have fun."
 
Ass kicking coming up!

Pt 7
Buffy leapt up and roundhoused Loki in the face. She followed up with a rising kick to the chin, before elbowing him down to the floor. However, she did realise what the hell was supposed to happen next.
Seconds later, Loki fired a glove from his belt, knocking Buffy to the floor. He then blasted goo all over her sticking her to the floor. "Hey, no fair!" yelled Buffy.
"Fair?" Loki responded. "I am a God. I don't have to bother with FAIR" Famous last words, thought Willow. She blasted Buffy, who in turn ripped out of the goo as...
"SUPER SLAYER!" She refocused and literally froze Loki on the spot, leaving only a small plum on the floor. She stared at it, as if it might attack at any time. it wobbled from side to side. Willow looked at Buffy's eyes. They were glowing purple.
"Er...Buffy?"
"I AM THE GODDESS OF MISCHIEF! BOW!" Willow refused and was knocked to the floor.
"Buffy, no!" Willow got smacked in the head with a plastic hammer, whilst Tara got a pump full of custard shoved in her mouth.
"Wait! Loki's invaded Buffy! Buffy, reject him!" yelled Dawn. "You have to reject him...please!" As Dawn said this, her eyes flicked back to normal. The plum continued to vibrate, but this time Buffy picked it up and hurled it into space.

"You had me worried there" Dawn smiled. "I'd miss you"
"Why's that?" grinned Buffy, although she was feeling a bit cautious.
"I wouldn't be able to do this!" Dawn whacked her with a pillow.
"That's it, pillow fight!"
