In the tallest building of L.A. a woman waved her hands over a group of tarot cards she sat at a table in front of a throne where a cloaked figure sat. "He is coming oh he is coming my lord the man who vanished in days past is coming to to stand against you."
"Tell me my child will he succeed?"The cloaked figure asked.
"It is uncertain." She muttered as a storm gathered and lightning struck.
The rain poored down hard as the man struggled to his feet he spun around confused. "Gun! Spike! Illyira!" He shouted confused and disoriented. "Where are you!" He stumbled through the alley clinging to the walls to keep himself from falling to the ground. A gust of wind wind blew straight at him as a newspaper hit his leg. The man grabbed it and as he walked through the rainstorm. He caught a glimpse of a old building he made his way to it the entrance was boarded up with wood but he easily broke it down.
As he made it in he lost conciousness and fell to the ground letting go of the paper that was dated September 13, 2011.
As he woke up he began to open his eyes he came to a shocking realization the sun wasn't burning his skin Angel immediately stood up freaked out frantically hiding in a shadowed corner. He remebered his realization and slowly motioned his hand towards the sunlight. A smile mixed with confusion and worry for his friends crept on his face.
He cautiously walked out of the building and into the sunlight holding the newspaper in his right hand his joy over becoming human was immidiately became dispair when he saw the most of the city completely ruined. "My god what happened?" He then looked at the newspaper and his eyes widened with shock at the date and even more so with the head line. The Last Slayer has fallen to the Master is this the end?
"My God he's suppose to be dead Buffy killed him years ago." Angel mumbled to himself. "This can't be happening this... this is impossible."
"Oh its possible Angel more than possible in fact it's reality." A familiar voice said enthusiastically. Angel turned his head.
"Lindsey? Your dead what are you like Lilah or your old boss?" Angel asked not fully surprised.
"Oh Angel you need to catch up the Senior Partners are so over and done with now." Lindsey said smirking as he put his hands into his pockets.
"Then what are you?"
"Oh I'm a lot of things these days a prophet, a servant, a champion in my own right like you however these days I'm loyal to a higher power. Oh by the way it's not the same master you know but you will shit yourself when you see the new Masters face." Lindsey said smirking as he struggled to keep himself from laughing.
"Who is the new Master Lindsey?" Angel asked getting up in the man's face.
"Sorry Angel but I don't want to spoil the surprise lets just say that it's someone you are very close to and has a very powerful connection to you." With that Lindsey vanished.
Angel then gripped his fist as he pressed on into the ruined city. As he walked toward the old Hotel where he once based Angel Investigations the sun was setting and he heard a scream it was a man running from the building his clothes were ragged and he was covered in dirt. "HELP ME!" He screamed as the vampires swarmed in and tore him to pieces.
They quickly turned their attention to Angel who was frozen in fear. "Human." They charged at Angel who ran for his life as the man before him had done.
He ran desperately trying to escape the vampires. He soon heard a voice calling for him. "Over here!" He turned and saw a figure in the shadows he followed him down the alley way to find that the figure had disappeared. "This way." He shouted over to Angel. From the back door to the brick building. Angel followed him the figure ran down some stone stairs past a metal gate. He quickly locked gate the shadows obscurring his face Angel could only make out a brown suit and top hat. He then continued runing "Hurry that wont hold them for long!"
Angel quickly followed thim down into the sewers where a small speed boat was waiting for them. They jumped in and the man in the suit pulled on the engine and the boat took off like a pair of bats out of hell.
"Thanks for saving me back there who are you?" Angel asked catching his breath. The man turned his head revealing a all to familiar green face Lorne.
