CHAPTER II

Disclaimer: I do not own Raziel, Blade, Buffy, Angel, the Ellimist or any other characters from the Legacy of Kain, Blade, Buffy, Angel or Animorphs series.

The others chased after Raziel, knowing that he was eager to start the quest to restore balance to the distorted universe. "Wait!" Buffy called, "We need to think this out, come up with a game plan." "Game plan!" Blade exclaimed in annoyance, "How can we have a game plan if we don't even know what the hell we're looking for?" "Then we find it." Angel said determinedly. "You really don't think I would run off like that if I didn't have an idea about the solution do you?" Raziel spoke up, "I think that the distortion began in my universe, at the pillars." He ran off, hoping to find them. All of a sudden, the ground shook and a deep fissure appeared, and out of it came a big, slimy, hellmouth demon. Buffy pulled out her stake, Angel got his Vamp-face on, Blade drew his sword and Raziel summoned the Soul Reaver to combat the hideous beast. As they were about to attack, Blade and Angel collapsed to the ground and Raziel's reaver was disabled. From behind the demon stepped Moebius, the time guardian, holding his magical staff. "So," he drawled with a conniving smile on his face, "You all plan to stop whatever is causing this distortion. Well, you'll be happy to know." Moebius didn't get a chance to complete what he was saying as Buffy tackled him and started beating him. "Stop!" Raziel yelled at Buffy, "He will know something about this distortion." "You know this guy?" Buffy enquired with a puzzled look on her face. "Well enough to know that you cannot turn your back on him for a second." He answered. Buffy hauled Moebius up by his hood and slammed him against a wall, "Reverse whatever you have done to my friends, well, Angel anyway." She commanded him. (Next bit in script dialogue) MOEBIUS: I am afraid I cannot do that. They will come to eventually. (Buffy tightens her grip on Moebius's neck) RAZIEL: Tell me Moebius, how long have you been aware of this distortion? Who caused it? MOEBIUS: I have been aware of it since it started Raziel, as for who caused it, only Kain could have done such a thing. BUFFY: Who's Kain? MOEBIUS: Only the most evil and powerful vampire that ever lived. He caused the decay of the pillars and now he causes the distortion. RAZIEL: Kain is evil, but even he could not have caused the distortion. You are hiding something crucial from us Moebius, and until we find it, you're coming with us. (Raziel finds a bit of rope and ties Moebius's hands behind his back)

"You will have to carry his staff" Raziel said to Buffy, "It has the power to disable vampires, that is why my Reaver was disabled and Blade and Angel collapsed. Being the only human among us, you will have to carry it." Buffy picked up the staff and by doing so Blade and Angel awakened. "What the hell happened?" Blade asked Buffy, apparently confused by his recent unconscious spell. "Why don't you ask this fiend right here?" Raziel pointed to Moebius. "What happened to the Hellmouth Demon?" Angel pointed out. Suddenly a piercing scream cut through the air.
