Authors Notes: Hi everyone! I'm the Saiyajin no Oujo, I also answer to Oujo-chan or Starry-chan. This is my first posted fanfic so please don't expect perfection.

It's a Buffy The Vampire Slayer /Dragonball Z /Angel crossover. In the Buffy/Angel timeline it starts about two weeks before the Angel premiere for Season Three and about a month before the Season Six premiere for BTVS. In DBZ it starts off around the time Mirai Trunks is planning to head for the past, he's almost 17. I'm making up the AED (After the End of Days) because of the way the DB timeline is. If you have any questions let me know in your reviews.

Warning: I'm not a B/S or A/C shipper! While I may include those couples for plot purposes they won't be the end result. Sorry if you're disappointed but that's just the way I feel, no flames on the matter please.

Disclaimer: I don't own BTVS or Angel they belong to Joss Wheden, Fox, and UPN or the WB respectively. I don't own DBZ either, Akira Toriyama, Toei Animation, and Funimation do.

September 784 AED:

Trunks grunted as he practiced his fighting motions, punching and kicking the air with every ounce of his strength. He imagined every blow landing on the demonic Juachigou and Juunangou, marring their cold, flawless features. Making them feel some of the pain they callously inflicted on the many the killed, the pain they'd caused his beloved sensei Gohan. His thoughts drifted back to that day…

A feeling of dread…flying in the rainstorm…the body…burned from so many Ki blasts…missing an arm from another battle…sorrow… tears… screams… (What did they do to you Gohan-san? Gohan-san, it's not fair! You were everything to me…everything! NO! Gohan-san!! Gohan-san!!) Energy… lavender hair flickers to gold…passive blue eyes become dangerous aqua…the click…clenched fists draw blood…energy. So much pain…fear…hatred…rage and thirst for revenge. More sobs now…banging fists on the ground…the sound as it cracks.

No more! Trunks opened his eyes, visibly shaken. He had to focus…he was the Saiyajin no Ouji…he had to be strong. Brooding wouldn't honor Gohan's sacrifice anyway, only defeating the Jinzouningen would do that. Trunks flared his Ki, took to the air and began his exercises again. When he visited the past he would deliver the medicine to stop Son Goku's death and find a way to beat those mechanical monstrosities. He knew the Earth wouldn't survive much longer if he didn't.

September 2001 AD:

Angel stirred restlessly in his sleep as he dreamed*, "Buffy?"

She smiled, "Who else?" "Would you like to hear a story?"

Angel was confused but nodded anyway, he had a feeling this was something he needed to hear.

'Once upon a time there was a young, foolish, handsome prince who wanted to see the world. Evil could see the darkness within him...so she tricked him... turned him into a demon and gave him a new name. They ravaged the countryside together for many years until the prince killed a young white sorceress and her family grew angry. They gave the prince back his soul and made him see what he had become...a monster. The prince ran and hid in filth with the rats until a messenger came.

The messenger brought the prince to a beautiful princess. He told the prince that the princess would have to become a warrior, leave her kingdom, and fight. The prince had fallen in love with the princess and feared she would be hurt so he left with her and went to watch over her and help her in her struggle. The Prince tried to stay in the shadows but the princess saw him and she too began to fall in love. Though the princess found out his true nature and there were many more difficulties such as death, jealousy, and gaining the acceptance of the princesses friends they persisted and the love of the prince and princess continued to blossom

What they didn't know was that the family of the white sorceress the prince had killed so long ago had been watching him to make sure he suffered for all eternity. When the sorceress' family found out the prince was starting to become happy by being with the beautiful princess they told the woman they sent to keep them apart at all costs. The woman argued on behalf of the prince who had recently saved her from a fowl monster but it was all for naught. And that wasn't the worst of what was to come…

The mad vampire and her mate were planning to resurrect an evil creature that would "separate the righteous from the wicked and burn the righteous down" . The prince and the princess found out about their plans after coming into possession of the creatures arm. The prince knew what it was and planned to take a long journey to hide the arm. This upset the princess greatly, for she did not want the prince to go and this dreadful news had come to them on her birthday. She walked him to the docks where the prince gave the princess a very special ring. The prince and princess attempted to kiss but were interrupted by the mad vampire's solders and during the struggle lost the arm. They decided that the best course of action was to observe the evil vampires and look for a way to stop them. Unfortunately their hiding place was discovered and had it not been for the prince's quick thinking all would have been lost. He led the princess through an underground tunnel back to his castle. The prince and princess were so relieved that the other was unhurt that their love burned brightly and they could no longer hold in their emotion and let go. Later the prince and princess slept but the prince felt something changing inside him and awoke, he felt his soul and demon struggling for dominance. The demon won…'

Angel frowned, "Aren't you going to finish it?"

Buffy looked it him, "I can't. It's not over, not yet, but whether we get to finish or not depends on you." "Angel, you need to remember that even if everything seems like a fairytale it's not perfect. Don't try to make it out to be or you'll lose it all. I have a feeling you'll end up thanking me for stopping though, after all you're going to have a pretty busy night"…*

Angel woke up. Unnecessarily sighing he rose from his bed. Buffy had been telling their story like some sort of fairytale inside a dream. Was it possible he was going mad with grief? Judging by the ache in his unbeating heart it could very well be. Something about that last comment unnerved him. Why would he be having a busy night? The demonic activity here was slim to none. However, he thought as he eyed what rituals the priests were doing, that might not be entirely correct. Again he sighed; maybe he should have gone to Vegas.
