Buffy felt her scythe hit dirt below and knew the job was done. In less than a second, she was off the corpse and turning to evaluate the criss behind her. She had heard Jack's protest and had not had the time to wonder at what had been happening.

When she saw him grappling with this final aggo-happy-puppy, she tried to act quickly. The hack'n'slash would not quite do considering how she did not want to chop any of Jack's bits off in the process. And so the Slayer fell upon the both of them. She would have to buy time -- from the other side of the Shift Hunter she grabbed its head in her hands and twisted, brutally.

There was the sickening crunch as the bone snapped; it would give them much to work with but it should be enough to drag the thing off of the pirate. It would heal soon, though.
