over the next few days Buffy used all the resources she had to find out the location of the big ritual she wasn't sleeping she was just keeping busy visiting Angel in the hospital in the mornings and working

Andrew brought her and the girls the weapons they need he said "I heard about your unfortunate situation and i was hoping to give you some cheerful inspiration"

Buffy turned to give him a look that meant she seriously was no tin the mood for his crap under no circumstances. she was tired but she knew sleep was not going to come she rumbled her eyes and went to spar in Angels training room Sastu said coming in "want a partner"

Buffy hit the bag "not really"

she came to Buffy and touched her shoulder "talk to me"

Buffy went and sat down and said "what... what do you want me to say"

she looked at her "tell me what's hurting you"

Buffy shook her head "I've been slaying sense i was sixteen I've lost the people that i care about most and now I'm loosing him if I loose him... if i loose him, this time I really will quit, and now I can without worrying who will take my pace there are enough of you slayers that you don't need me anymore." she walked out.

Buffy sat at the table with Faith she said "we have all the stuff together"

Buffy said "have we pinpointed the area"

Rona said "yeah we"

Faith said "are we good to go"

Buffy said "then we leave tonight"

Faith said "B... are you sure of what your doing"

Buffy said "as i can be" she turned and walked away she went upstairs to change and then she looked in the mirror and she saw herself she was going into this half cocked but she didn't care lucky Tara was there she saw what was going on and she was in her own emotional state over Willow she and Willow had been back together for a years and she didn't wanna loose her but she knew Buffy was going to make it with out Angel she had been working with Willow and her magic was a lot stronger now Buffy need her because Angelus didn't know about her and that would defiantly throw him off his game just enough

she said "so is this" she went to hit him again and he grabbed her by the throat and said "oh come on your not even trying..." he threw her back she hit the tree she started to black out

Angelus heard a voice say "hey" he turned only to be hit in the face bye Angel "is that trying enough for you"

Sastu said "we have to get the others"

Tara said "their over there"

Sastu could see the group of sacrifices sat in a circle around the central symbol as the demons places the already dead in the formation Willow saw Tara, Tara smiled Sastu said "First Wave NOW"

the demons were caught off guard as the Military troops from the initiative started hitting them with blasters and the demons were then being taken out by the slayers or captured by the imitative boys

Angelus said "well damn I thought you were dead... or at least in critical condition"

Angel said "well sometimes we don't get what we want" Angel kicked him hard in the jaw

Angelus said "are we going to really do this"

Angel said "just you and me what do really want" Angelus came at him Angel saw Buffy was out yelled at Buffy and said "WAKE UP DAMN IT"

Buffy shook her head Angel fought circling him they rained a fury of attacks sown on each others which was barely causing damage it was almost like watching a person fighting a mirror Angelus was getting board was Angel grabbed him by the throat and then punched him in the nose he didn't flinch saying "you are pathetic Angel"

Angel said "I beat you before I can do it again"

Angelus said knocking him back "pretty bad start"

Tara said "Buffy and Angel are fighting Angelus"

Willow was confused "he's in good enough condition to fight"

Tara said "actually no he's in intensive care at the Galway hospital in an induced coma but I did a little brain picking and pulled him out of his head"

Willow went to Spike "if he dies"

Tara said "i know he's dead"

Willow said "dangerous, but it was a good idea Buffy can't fight Angelus in her mental state"

***

Angelus said "Romeo and Juliet are back together that so sweet can we fight please... I mean only if I'm not interrupting something"

Buffy took offence "no your not..." she pulled her stake out her pocket and "...we were just getting warmed up"

he laughed crossing his arms "you can't kill me because I look like him"

Buffy went at him "your not him... and the funny thing now is it's obvious, you just wish you were" he grabbed her writ and twisted it behind her back

he smiled "don't prove anything but the fact I can hurt you and hurt him"

she looked at Angel who said "duck" she bent forward and Angel kicked him in the face "made you look" Angelus stumbled back and Buffy dropped down sweeping his feet out from under him doing a flip turning on her hand and ended up straddling him she punched him in the face twice before

he caught her arms and said "now she's playing ball" he rolled them over and Angel hit him hard in the back of the head and pulled him hard off of her and she scissor kicked him in the chin flip to stand as he roared in pain bring his foot up to kick her in the mouth and she didn't move quick enough to avoid it. he cracked her jaw she fell back

Angel Called her "BUFFY"

Spike said "I'll help get the others out"

Willow said "we got to beat them back"

Riley sowed up "but you got help"

Willow said "Where Sastu"

Tara said "in the fight somewhere"

WIllow looked around as the demons were being cut down slayers were getting helped by other slayers fires were buring fights were going on Willow was using her magic to fight through most of it when she saw Sastu heading over to Buffy and Angelus Fight

Willow exclaimed "Oh No"

***

Angelus slammed his head back into Angels nose and mouth he stumbled back and Angelus kicked his feet out turning to drag Angel "oh come one big boy that all you got"

Buffy hit him on the back With a double fist and kneed him hard in the gut bring the double fist under his chin and knocking him down into the ground she grabbed her stake of the ground and jumped on him and he grabbed her wrist in his hands and said "not so fast... I'm not done yet"

Angel brought his foot down on his wind pipe "god he makes my voice sound Annoying"

Angelus threw them both back getting up he whispered "but i got her stake, I wonder what this does to humans"

Buffy and Angel looked back at him and he was about to come at them When Sastu grabbed him and threw him back and he said "oh it's the girl friend"

she shot the arrow at his chest but missed the heart it hit him he said "sorry not the heart" throwing it back hitting her square in the chest Buffy said "NO!" she gasped Buffy got up he kicked her down and back into Angel and he grabbed Sastu "I was just starting to have fun" as he grabbed her and snapped her neck in on swoop. Buffy watched her hit the ground she screamed but it was like no sound came out Angel used Angelus Momentum to go against him swooping up to stab him in the chest "you loose again"

Angelus said "not for her... for her I win" he was dust

Angel watched the dust fall and looked at his hands then he remembered Buffy who was zoned out just sitting there staring at Sastu's Body he grabbed her making her look at him and said "Buffy look at me"

she did but she wasn't completely there he said "I know this is hurting you but i can't stay" he ran his fingers over her face and said "i can't stay just know i love you he didn't win he's gone... I'll be back soon and i think you need that time to heal I will return... promise me you'll heal"

she nodded he kissed her forehead and disappeared fading into a cloud of magic's Willow came to her and kneeled next to here "you okay Buffy"

she nodded "I will be collect the dead and send them back to be identified I'll personally take care of her" she got up and walked away
