They had wounded the leaders of hell by destroying their agents on earth: The Black Thorn, a secret organization that reeked havoc on the world.
Now the gloves had come off. In the alley the four remaining heroes: 2 Vampires with souls, Angel and Spike, a kid off the streets and a girl. 4 lost souls who were determined to make up for the past by kicking Evil down for at least this one blazing moment.
A dragon flew overhead, a beast not seen outside the depths of hell for more than a millennium, and in front of them thousands of orcs. Creatures as dumb as they were ugly and easy to kill, but their numbers made them the Devil's foot soldiers.
Wounded from their battle with the black thorn, the 4 fallen heroes stood ready for battle, against an enemy that appeared invincible. Armed each with a sword and axe, they posed ready to fight, "Well this is it, let's take as many of them back to hell where they belong, but I've got the dragon."
Just when Angel took a swing at the 1st demon they found themselves in a room full of glowing figures. Angel looked around and saw Spike, Winston, Fred, and to his surprise, Buffy. He thought to himself, we're all dead, but I'm with Buffy.
His attention was drawn to the glowing beings when the leader stepped forward and spoke to them, "You are the rogues that have the evil ones all stirred up. You killed the evil ones on earth, the black thorn, and we have a limited time to do as much damage as possible. We are going to grant mortal lives to those who are willing to spend it fighting evil."
Angel, with his hand in Buffy's feeling alive for the first time since he became a vampire. "Who are you?" Angel asked.
"We are the Ascended ones. Souls who felt that fighting evil and protecting innocents from evil should not be left up to the mortals. You will be granted new mortal lives, and with it a gift that will aid you. We will send you to San Francisco where our human agents will give you identities." Buffy, Angel, Fred, Winston and Gunn looked at each other hand in hand, each being together for the first time. "So, who's in?"
"Are you kidding, a chance to kick demon ass and see the sun, I'm in." Spike put in.
Angel was skeptical however, "what kind of gifts? How are we going to be able to fight those demons as mortals, when before we could barely do it?"
A glowing figure stepped apart from the rest, "You have to trust us. Buffy will stay the same. She is after all, the slayer. Even now that there are many slayers, we still need you at the front line. Fred, you will gain the power of premonition…"
"Oh, no, am I going to have to have those headache thingies?"
"No, these premonitions are painless. Continuing, Winston, you are close to the one with foresight, so as you will protect her you are granted the power of telekinesis. As for the vampires, you have begun to atone, and we believe you are destined for good, so we will grant you mortal lives. Spike will have the ability to create a protective shield around himself and those around him. Angel, as the destined mate of the Slayer, you will be granted equal gifts to her.
"There is a catch however. You can't contact anyone from your previous lives, unless they were associated with the slayer. As you didn't die, you are going to simply be "moving" to San Francisco. The rest of you were destined to die and we have interfered for the sake of the fate of the world. If you all agree to this, we will answer the rest of your questions, but you have to realize that once you agree, you are at a point of no return. Do you agree?"
