19. An Unusual Priest

Xander's face fell as he realized that the only toy gun left in Ethan's was a toy pistol. He sighed as he realized that his idea of being a soldier for Halloween flew out the window. After all a soldier carrying just a pistol really didn't work. He stood there for a few minutes staring at the gun in his hand, trying to think up a new costume.

Xander ran his free hand through the bin of miscellaneous items to see if anything would spark an idea. When he saw the black fingerless gloves and the tiara he knew just who he was going as. He picked up the gloves and tiara and smirked when he saw the price tags on them. The cost of the tiara, gloves, and pistol came to $2. He was still the $2 costume king.

Xander slipped into his parent's room. He had already made the Maten Sutra with some paper and felts he had in his room. He now needed a beige robe and some white cloth. His mother had both in her closet. He quickly grabbed what he came for and turned to leave. The package of smokes on the floor caught his eye. They were partially kicked under the bed and he figured that they wouldn't be missed. He shrugged and picked them up. It was not as if he was actually going to smoke them and it would make his costume more authentic.

Sanzo broke free of the demons holding him and drew his purifying gun. He aimed it at Spike and fired, for a moment there is silence as the bleached blonde vampire turned to dust. Sanzo took that moment and proceeded to purify the rest of the vampires in the warehouse. Just as he purified the last vamp the spell that changed everyone into their costumes ended.

Xander blinked, lowering the gun in his hand as Buffy sat up. She looked at the pile of dust that used to be Spike and smirked. Xander put his gun back into its holster. His eyes troubled as he realized the gun was no longer plastic. His eyes widened slightly as he realized that not only was the gun now real so was the Maten Sutra. He thought about the consequences of the spell and smirked. He was going to need a license for his new gun.

1 year later

As the Mayor began his transformation into an Old One, Xander stood in front of him chanting. The Sutra on his shoulders writhed and grew longer, wrapping itself around the huge Snake that was once the Mayor of Sunnydale. The Snake screamed in pain as the power of the heavenly Sutra purified him into nothingness. Xander stopped chanting and grinned wickedly at everyone.

"Wha . . ." Giles started to say.

"Remember last years Halloween. Well lets say that I went as a very unusual priest." Xander stated.
