"What does he mean "she will ascend". I'm not following here." Gunn stated.

"Ascend. She will do a rising thing and become a goddess not of this plain. Right now, she is still human, well, mostly. After this fight, with the "non-cure" that Whistler and Willow haven't found yet, she will be forced to leave us on earth and only help us when she is sent to." Dawn cleared up.

"So what's the problem, wh not stay up there and kick ass?" He asked again.

"Simple. She's finally happy with her life. She doesn't want to leave ad she doesn't want to give up her life, her family or her friends. She loves what she does. Who she stands for. She doesn't want it to be taken away." Angel finished, shockingly. He always understood her and what her intentions were, even when she herself wasn't too sure.

"Wow, you've got some lady on your hands." Conner grinned.

"Correction, some goddess." Dawn smiled. At that second, Wesley appeared on the ground before them all. When they saw that he was alone, they all panicked.

Morpheus trudged through the tunnels leading to the outside. He wanted them to all witness this action. But mostly, he wanted Angelus to watch his own beloved die at his hands as Drucilla had all those years ago. Each step brought him closer to his goal. Buffy lay motionless in his arms. She was pale. Not even bruised. A slight cut on her bottom lip alerted of battle. She was flawless. He shrugged and kept on walking. Finally he reached the exist and saw her friends all standing there. Blade and Angel noticed first because of her scent of blood. Angel growled low in his throat at the site.

"Buffy!" Dawn yelled, trying to make her way to her sister and pushing past everyone. Morpheus threw her away and continued on his journey. He wanted Angel to know this was his doing. He got a few yards from Angel and dropped her lifeless body to the ground. She appeared sleep to all of them. Angel lunged to take her body, but an invisible force repelled him and sent him flying yards away.

Willow had come to the new playing field and gasped. She immediately tried to figure out a spell to counter that one, when Blade put a hand on her shoulder to warn her not to. It was obvious that he knew something she didn't.

"What did you do to her?" Xander asked. Morpheus just smiled. It was evil. Pure evil in the way his teeth glistened. Suddenly, he raised his hands and the sky crackled. Angel stepped forward, vamped out and fuming.

"Don't do this. You want me, not her. Deal with me!" He growled.

"So egotistical. Don't you see? By doing this, I am dealing with you. Dealing where you hurt the most. Where you are most vulnerable. She's strong, Angelus. The total opposite of my Drucilla. She doesn't bruise easily." He jerked Buffy up and held her by the neck and began to chant. Willow screamed. She recognized the spell. It would do permanent damage and send Buffy to hell, permanently. Blade smiled. The sky parted and a white light glowed and captured Buffy's body. She started to rise tot he sky, and was awaked as Sharp. Morpheus' disintegrated under the extreme power permeated from the heavens and turned to dust without a stake.
