Summary: The Scoobies come to visit in the face of an apocalypse and Buffy learns some home truths about Cordelia and Angel's relationship.
It got to a quarter to eleven and Cordelia and Angel were still arguing about whether or not Cordelia was going. Wes had tried to intercept as well as Gunn but Angel had ignored them and they had eventually gone away. Wes suspected that Cordelia would win him over in the end and Gunn kept insisting that they just enjoyed fighting. At about ten to, Angel stormed away from her telling her to get herself killed. Cordelia shouted back that she loved him.
Buffy and Spike were waiting at the site of where the army would rise, keeping an eye on things in case they started early. Buffy had eventually sobered up and was embarrassed at what she had done earlier.
Angel, Cordelia, Gunn and Wesley were all travelling in Angel's car and Fred and Anya were stopping home to look after Connor.
Giles, Xander and Willow were all travelling in Giles's new convertible.
They arrived at the site at five to, complete with weapons and spells.
Angel made sure that Cordelia was standing way behind him and kissed her gently before taking up his position next to Buffy, Spike and Gunn in the front line.
"How will we know when it's about to happen?" Buffy asked Giles.
"I believe we will se some sort of portal open and the army shall come out one by one. We shall have to kill them as they come out or we shall be outnumbered."
"How many will there be?"
"Approximately one thousand." Wesley replied.
Cordelia gulped and wished for a second that she had obeyed Angel and stopped at home. It only lasted a second before she realised that she had to be with him, fighting side by side.
She moved forwards to stand next to him, her sword poised.
He looked as though he was about to complain but before he could the portal opened.
The swirling mass of black and grey energy grew until it was about eight feet tall.
From its centre one of the soldiers began to fight its way out.
First an ugly green arm appeared and then it's body.
All of the gang looked surprised by its size.
It's head appeared and it pulled its way out of the portal.
Buffy sprang forwards to take it with Gunn and Spike and Angel waited for the next one.
Cordelia could see that Buffy was having problems with it.
It outmanoeuvred every move she and Gunn mad and managed to gat a few punches out itself.
When the next one came out Cordelia, Giles, Xander and Wesley started attacking it.
Giles was instantly thrown backwards and into a dumpster near where Willow was trying a spell to close the portal, it didn't seem to be working.
"Cordelia!" Angel shouted in a break in the fighting. "Be careful! They're tough."
He instantly began fighting another of the beasts that came out of the portal. "Yeah, you too!" She called back and then plunged her sword through the heart of the demon she, Xander and Wesley were fighting.
He shot her an appreciative glance before turning to get ready for the next one.
It seemed like they had been fighting for hours when only a few of the beasts had been killed.
Angel had a bloody gash down his chest, Buffy was sporting scratches on her arms and a wound on her leg, Spike had numerous bruises and cuts and Cordelia had a small puncture wound on her side.
Willow could see that the spell she was attempting was not working so dropped the book and woke Giles up.
They began the fighting again.
Angel could see that they were fast losing.
They were all tired and injured. "We can't take them all." He shouted to whoever was listening.
"I see that." Wesley replied after being thrown into the wall for the third time.
The demon that had thrown him set its sights on Cordelia
It growled and waved its arm around until it swung her off her feet and flung her towards the portal.
