A/N: This chapter will have a lot of people talking so from this chapter on I'm going to say the names of the people then state what they are saying, like in a transcript. (Ex. Fred: "Angel! Angel!") OK? Yeah so it's less complicated on both you and me. Also because this chapter and onward is going to be hard to describe so I'm just doing it this way because it's easier. Yeah I'm a lazy person SO WHAT! *smiles big* Now…FORWARD READ!!! ***************************************************************************                            Chapter Three                 ***************************************************************************

Fred: "Angel! Angel!" Angel, Connor and Dawn quickly approached her. Angel grabbed Fred by the shoulders to calm her down in fear she was going to collapse to the ground.

Angel: "Fred sweetie what's wrong? What's got you all worked up?" He looked around and noticed Wesley and Gunn weren't with her.

Angel: "Where are Gunn and Wes?" She lowered her head letting her long hair hide away from his eyes. He lowered his head to catch her gaze but she still wouldn't look at him.  He lifted her head to meet his eyes and saw the tears running down her cheeks. He took her in his arms and held her while she sobbed into his shirt stroking her hair.

Angel: "Shh…it's ok…it's ok." He pulled away from her and led her to sit on the round sofa in the lobby. Dawn ran to get her a cup of water and a cool rag to put on her forehead. Angel kneeled in front of her as Connor sat beside her reassuringly stroking her back. Dawn came back and sat on the other side of her as she took the water thankfully.

Fred: "Angel something's coming. I don't know what or what to do. You know the case you sent us on?" He nodded.

Fred: "Well…we were fighting the demon and somehow I got separated from Wes and Gunn. I don't know where they are or if they're alive or…" She again began to cry and Dawn wrapped her arms around the sobbing young woman as Angel rose to his feet.

Angel: "I'm going to try and find them. Dawn you stay here and tend to Fred and Connor you come with me. Maybe we can find them before…" He sighed and Connor placed a warm hand on his father's shoulder.

Connor: "We'll find them dad…lets just go and not waste anytime." They gathered up some weapons and headed out the door. Dawn watched them leave as she held Fred in her arms. She sent a silent prayer heavenward hoping someone would hear her plea and help them before it was too late.

Cordelia, once again, paced back and forth. She was getting restless and it looked like the whole apocalypse thing was starting to take form. Dammit. She couldn't be wasting anymore time but yet she was sitting here waiting for the PTB to give her the go signal. Time was ticking and every damn second counted. She turned as she heard Skip come back from his conference with the PTB and ran to him.

Cordy: "So? When do I start…when can I see them?"

Skip: "It's not that easy Cordelia. You can appear to only one of them and you can't appear in human form…"

Cordy: "But why?"

Skip: "Don't know. It was what I was told." She sighed.

Cordy: "OK…what else can I do and *not* do?"

Skip: "You can only talk to him when needed, like with information…"

Cordy: "Wait, how do you know it's a he…what if I want to appear to a *she*?"

Skip: "Cordelia, don't give me that. I've been watching you for quite sometime and if you could give your life for Angel you would, so this is nothing." She smiled.

Cordy: "Yeah I guess your right…OK is there anything else I need to know about?"

Skip: "No, that's pretty much it. But I should warn you…this isn't gonna be easy and although you won't be there physically…this is just as much as your fight as theirs."

Cordy: "I know…Thanks Skip."

Skip: "No problem." He turned to leave but she caught his arm.

Cordy: "Wait…aren't you going to help me?" Skip looked into her eyes and saw that she was scared. He hated to leave her but he knew that he couldn't help her with this one. She was on her own.

Skip: "Sorry but I can't. This is your fight not mine. It will all come to you and you'll figure it out, don't worry." She slowly let him go and he disappeared once again, this time leaving her to fight a battle that she had no clue how to fight.

************************

Angel and Connor burst through the doors carrying two very bruised and beaten figures. Fred and Dawn ran to them helping them to the sofa in the lobby.

Fred: "What happened? Where were they?"

Connor: "I don't know what happened but we found them quite a few ways away from the house. It looks like they were attacked."

Angel: "Well, whatever it was it's still out there." He went to get the first aid kit and then began to help Fred patch them up. Gunn and Wesley began to wake up.

Gunn: "Ah man…what the hell happened?" He placed his hand to his head and saw the blood.

Gunn: "I'm bleeding."

Fred: "No duh…don't mess with it just lay there. Do you guys remember what happened?"

Wesley: "I remember the case and getting seper…oh my god Fred are you OK?"

Fred: "I'm fine. Now what happened?"

Gunn: "We came across this demon and it was big, I mean huge."

Dawn: "Do you remember what it looked like?"

Wesley: " I do…but it was nothing that I've ever seen before."

Angel: "Just tells us and maybe we can look it up."

Wesley: Um…well as Gunn said it was enormous and it had horns coming from it's head. Its eyes glowed a deep red color. Um…its skin was rough and sharp so even if you touched it, it would cut you."

Gunn: "Yeah for example." He showed him his hands, arms, and chest.

Wesley: Every time it walked it would leave a fiery trail but it wouldn't last long so you couldn't trace it. Yeah…me and Gunn tried that already." Fred went to go and get a book from Wesley's office.

Fred: I think I know what you're talking about. It says hear that it's a Blazurathabach. (A/N: Yeah I made it up…SO WHAT! LOL)

Connor: "Blazurawhata?"

Fred: "A Blazurathabach. It's the demon that fits the description Wes gave." She handed Wes and Gunn the book.

Gunn: "Yeah…that's the one."

Wesley: "It says that its goal is to bring destruction to anything in its path."

Dawn: "That doesn't sound very nice."

Wes: "How did you know about this?"

Fred: "I read about it before I got sucked into Pylea."

Gunn: Wow woman…you *are* remarkable."

Fred: "I know." She kissed Gunn softly on the lips.

Gunn: "Ow."

Fred: "Oh…sorry."

Connor: "So I imagine we're going for another apocalypse?"

Angel: "Looks like it son."

Dawn: "So what do we do?"

Angel: "Maybe I should see a friend."

Angel entered Caritas and found Lorne at the bar.

Angel: "Lorne I need…"

Lorne: "Shh…I'm listening to this guy." After the song ended a purple demon with green eyes came toward Lorne and Angel.

Demon: "So?"

Lorne: "Nice rendition. You know what you have to do my friend."

Demon: "Thanks."

Lorne: "No problem." The demon left and Lorne walked behind the bar.

Lorne: "So…what can I do for you Angel cakes?"

Angel: "I need some information on a demon." Lorne pointed somewhere and Angel followed his gaze.

Angel: "What?"

Lorne: "You know the routine cinnamon buns. You sing…I read."

Angel: "But I don't have the time."

Lorne: "Everyone has time for a little ballet." Angel sighed and left to sing. After the song he came back.

Angel: "So?"

Lorne: "Why that song?"

Angel: "Don't know…felt appropriate."

Lorne: "'Wind Beneath My Wings?' Hardly."

Angel: "Just tell me."

Lorne: All right, don't get your knickers in a bunch. Something's coming but you already know that. And yes that demon is what's causing it. Who has awoken it? I don't know…but what I do know is that you're going to get some roadside assistance."

Angel: "By who?"

Lorne: "Don't exactly know but I'd be prepared…because it's here and it isn't leaving till it gets what it wants."

Angel: "Is that it?"

Lorne: "This mysterious someone…listen to them. They're going to help you fight and win this battle."

Angel: "Thanks Lorne."

Lorne: "Oh and Angel…don't worry about Brown eyes. She's doing just fine." Angel smiled.

Angel: "Thanks."

Cordelia watched the orb in front of her of the demon.

Cordy: Ohhh…we are so going to kick your ass soon. You just wait mister. Hey…don't do that. Arrr…Angel where the hell are you? I need to talk to you *pronto*." She switched her picture to the Hyperion and saw him approach through the doors.

Cordy: There you are. What took you so long? OK…go somewhere so I can speak to you. Yeah that's it…your bedroom is nice. Ah…your bedroom. Don't worry Mr. Man-pire…when I get back we are so going to…Whoa…OK focus Chase focus. No…don't keep talking. Ah Fred I miss you…now shut up. OK…yes into your room. Finally…OK let's do this." She closed her eyes and concentrated on her destination as she disappeared.

************************

Angel took off his trench coat and threw it on his chair. He went to his bathroom to take a shower. A figure amalgamated in the far corner of the room in the image of Cordelia. After a while Angel descended from his bathroom in just a towel his hair still wet. Cordelia whispered to herself so not to be heard.

Cordy: "Damn…now that's what I call…yummy. Oh yeah…this is going to be hard." She watched him as he got dressed into some boxers and got into bed.

Cordy: "Maybe it won't be so bad after all. Whoa…that's *huge* oh yeah…when I get back…boy that's gonna *hurt*…OK…concentrate Cordy concentrate." She let out a breath and tried to control her hormones. Angel jolted up in bed.

Angel: "Who's there?"

Cordy: "Dammit…he heard me." She stepped from out of her corner.

Cordy: "Hey Angel…miss me?" ***************************************************************************                                    OK little people…what ya think?
