AN: The quotes used in this chapter do not belong to me they belong to the people at Buffy and I hope they don't mind me using them. Hope you like!!!!!!!!!!

(Outside of the maze everyone was worried and bored)

Anya: Xander I'm bored let's play a game

Spike: yeah Xander lets play a game

Xander: Shut it Spike

Spike: You know I'm gonna go see what little bit is up too

(no one gave him a glance as he left)

Angel: (punches a trash can shocking everyone) I hate all this waiting

(at that moment Cordelia had a vision)

Cordelia: (Grabs head in pain).

Angel and Wesley caught her before she fell but she pushed them away and her head snapped back eyes black like Willow's during a spell. Cordelia started to speak in a strange language then collapsed.

Cordelia: The barrier is gone (goes unconscious)

Angel: they must be in trouble Anya, Fred stay with Cordy lets go

(The group took off running weapons in hand. Angel was in the lead yelling for Buffy and Doyle.

Doyle: Dad how did you get in (starts walking towards him)

Buffy: Doyle that not your father (tries to grab him but it was to late and Angelus knocked Doyle against the wall)

Angelus: (Irish accent) You got that right sweetie

Buffy: How dare you (charges him)

Angel and the rest off the gang were running as fast as they could but the maze seemed to go on forever. They past the masters dusted bones and the judges body parts. Then they came to a fork.

Angel: You guys go this way and I'll go that way

Giles: Angel are you sure

Angel: Just Go!

Angel took off down the left side while the rest of the scoobs took the right

Xander: (gasping) Why... does.... he... always..... do .... that

Giles: Come on

Buffy was struggling with Angelus while Doyle was just starting to come to. Buffy was hardly winning against Him and she swore she heard a sound of hope.

Doyle: MOM!

Buffy: Just stay back I can handle it

Angel: BUFFY! DOYLE!

Buffy knew she heard something then. But when she lost her focus for just that one second Angelus sank his fangs into her neck.

Buffy: Angel HELP!

Angelus: (Looks up licking fangs) Well what do we have her evil twin I suppose? (laughs and throws Buffy Next to Doyle)

Doyle: Mom are you all right?

Buffy: Yes he didn't get that much (looks up to see Angel charge Angelus)

*Flashback Sunnydale 1998*

Buffy: Hello lover

Angelus: I don't have time for you

Buffy: you don't have alot of time left

Angelus: coming on kinda strong don't you think?

Present:

Buffy didn't know where that came from it just popped into her head. She couldn't stand watching her lover fight her fight.

*Flashback Sunnydale 1998*

Angelus: My boy Acathla is about to wake your going to hell

Buffy: save me a seat

(they fight)

Present

(Angel had Angelus pinned about to stake him)

Angelus: (to Buffy) see you in hell

*Flashback Sunnydale 1998*

Angel: (just got his soul back) W-what's happening

Buffy: shhhhh don't worry about it I love you

Angel: I love you

Buffy: Close your eyes

Present

(Buffy opened her eyes tears rolling her cheeks to see Angel coming to her)

Buffy: (Embracing Angel Crying) I knew you would come

The rest of the gang is walking hoping not to run into anything

Giles and Wesley were trying to figure out why the powers opened the barrier

and why that it was at that moment what was Buffy facing that She needed them

(Their answer came right in front of them)

Jenny: You want answers

Jenny scared the gang half to death when she spoke

Xander: Jenny I know you are ah here to help but STOP WITH THE APPEARING THING give us little warning Kay?

Jenny: (Ignoring Xander's Comment) I will get in major Trouble for sending that spell so I will speak fast I couldn't stand watching Buffy and Doyle Struggling and you all out here worried sick so I sort of stole the spell and sent it through Cordelia

Giles: Jenny I really appreciate you getting the spell but you shouldn't have put your self in this position

Jenny: I don't care and be wary of what is to come Angel has found Buffy and They have already started to head towards the center. If you all take this path and then you turn right then left you will come to the center.

Giles: Thank you Jenny

(Jenny Leaves)

Giles: Lets go

Xander: Great more walking

Buffy, Angel, And Doyle sped through The Mayor, The Gentlemen, Adam, and even Glory.

Then they came to a clearing where they saw Xander, Giles, Wesley, Willow, Gunn, Oz, on the other side banging on what looked like an invisible barrier.

Willow: Look Its Buffy

They looked in Buffy's direction But Oz was the first to see the woman walking towards Buffy

Oz: Who's that

Wesley: Dear Lord it's Darla

Angel: Darla

Doyle: Who's that

Buffy and Angel looked at each other Darla was one detail they left out of the whole prophecy

thing

Buffy: Great

THAT'S WHEN THE FINAL BATTLE BEGAN
