Title: Destiny Ahead: Season 1

Description: This is the first season of an Angel spin-off. With AI going their separate ways Faith, Gunn, and Angel must now train the new slayer, Lela. Plus they have Connor and three other teens on their hands. Can they do it?

Rated: PG-13. (Rating just to be careful because of profanity, violence, etc. May change later. I don't know yet.)

NOTE: I own none of the fang gang and none of the Scooby gang. I could never be that lucky. But I do own the characters I make up. The other stuff belongs to Joss.

A/N: This is my backup plan in case Angel gets cancelled, which I doubt. I know the new slayer thing has been done but guess what? I'm doing it now. So that makes it unique. Got it? Good. And Lela isn't your typical slayer. Trust me on that. I've set this up to be a type of TV show. So this will be considered episodes instead of chapters. OK? Great.

Also: The fang gang has defeated the beast. But they've decided that they have outgrown each other. So now they're going their separate ways. Oh, and Connor's fourteen. Still no sex with Cordy but rain of fire, the beast, and everything still happened. Including Lilah's death.

Episode 7 Los Angeles, CA

          The following week, on a Tuesday, after school, Lela swirled around with a crossbow in her hands. She took a large leap to the coffee table, nearly falling. Lela took another small twirl around, actually falling. Luckily, the crossbow wasn't loaded. Lela climbed back to the table and aimed her bow at a painting that hung on a back wall.

"Evil, feel my wrath." Lela shot the crossbow but of course no arrow or stake came out of it. "Ha! That's one for the slayer." She twirled the crossbow and blew at it as if she'd just fired a gun.

"Nice one." Lela nearly jumped. She looked over and saw Gunn. "Good act, kid."

Lela smiled at him. "Oh, Gunn." She jumped off the table. "I thought you were Faith."

"Nope. What are you doing?" Gunn leaned against a wall.

"Faith told me to practice frequently."

"Hmm?" Gunn walked up and took the crossbow out of her hands. "Looks like you're goofing."

"I know. I'm a teenager. I have a very low attention span," said Lela.

Gunn smirked. "You kind of remind me of somebody?"

"Who? Wait. It's not a demon or anything is it? Because that would be really unflattering."

"No. It's just… someone who could make me laugh. She was great."

"Who?"

"Never mind," Gunn sighed. He took the keys to his truck off the table. "I'm going for a ride. Later." Gunn put her crossbow down on the table before he left out the front door.

Lela picked up the bow again. "Evil, you will meet your doom!"

San Francisco, CA (a few hours later)

          Gunn just drove around. He thought about everything that had been going on recently. AI breaking up, the beast, the sun scare, and meeting up with Faith and Angel again. Connor had quickly started getting on his nerves again. But Lela seemed like a breath of fresh air usually.

          Another driver, Kelvin, rode down the street on his bike. He had a large duffel bag on his back. Kelvin hadn't really been in touch with Lela since the night she, Kelvin, and Connor went to Kelvin's grandfather's house.

          Gunn noticed a small café as he drove up. He slowly parked in between to empty cars. Kelvin, stuck in his own thoughts, accidentally crashed his bike into the side of Gunn's truck. Gunn, completely irate, climbed out of the car on the opposite side. Kelvin couldn't believe it. How could he not have seen the truck? He saw Gunn coming over to him.

"Hey, kid, what do you think you're doing?" Gunn snapped.

"Sorry," Kelvin apologized. "I ain't see it."

"You blind or something? You dinted the side."

Kelvin looked at the truck. "No, I ain't blind. I ain't kill it or nothin'. I was just thinking."

"Could have fooled me."

"I said I'm sorry. Now I gotta—" Kelvin, looking up at the roof of the café, stopped himself. He saw a very cloaked figure standing on top of the small restaurant. The figure made an inhuman leap across to another building and was gone. "I gotta go." Kelvin sped off on his bike.

"Hey, wait!" Gunn yelled. Gunn climbed into his truck and went after Kelvin.

          Kelvin followed the direction of the shrouded figure. He pulled his bike into an alley. Kelvin leapt off the bike, making it fall to the ground. He abandoned the vehicle when he saw the figure from the café enter an old storehouse down from the alley. Kelvin ran off into the building.

          He looked around. The building was dark and empty. Suddenly the figure Kelvin had been following leapt in front of him. It took off its cloak. Unknown to Kelvin, it was the vampire that had nearly sired Lela.

"Shouldn't you be doing homework or something, kiddo?" the vampire questioned.

"I rather do handy work," Kelvin replied.

          Kelvin's leg swung in the air, landing a swift kick to the side of the vampire's face. Kelvin walloped him in the chest, kicked in rapid motions, pulled his ax from the duffel bag. With one good swing of the ax the vampire dusted.

"Fun," Kelvin said to himself.

"Hey, kid." Kelvin turned and saw Gunn approaching him. "What was that?"

"I'm a hunter, demon hunter."

"Hold on. Who the hell are you?"

"Kelvin Anderson, a progeny of the last Anderson hunters." Kelvin stuffed his ax back into the duffel bag. "Bye."

"Hold on," said Gunn. "You hungry?"

"I guess so," Kelvin replied.

"Come on."

"Hold up there. Kelvin Anderson don't go nowhere with no strangers."

"Gunn." Gunn held out his hand for Kelvin to shake. Kelvin shook his hand. "That enough intro for ya?"

"It'll do."

          Gunn helped Kelvin put his bike into the back of the truck. Kelvin climbed into the front seat with Gunn. Gunn parked in front of the café again. Once inside both of them ordered the cheeseburger special with coke. Kelvin ate very keenly. He hadn't eaten anything the entire day.

"Careful, kid. You don't want to choke yourself." Gunn took a gulp of his coke.

"Sorry," said Kelvin. "I was hungry. So who you, anyway?"

"Former vamp hunter."

"Vampires? Hate him."

"You ain't the only one, kid," said Gunn.

"I'm looking for my sister, too. I'm tryin' to find the demon that stole 'er. But I ain't got no luck so far."

"How long you been at it?"

"About a week."

"I know how you feel."

"What?"

"Never mind."

Los Angeles, CA (night)

          Connor and Angel sat in the living room listening to Faith lecture Lela about how a crossbow is used for killing purposes only. Lela pretty much tuned her out. Faith's lectures were rare but never worth listening to.

"Faith, no offense. But I'm starving," said Lela.

"You're always starving," said Faith. "Starvation plus grief will equal to strength."

Lela stood up from the couch she and Faith were sitting on. "And pizza plus soda equals to a full stomach and a happy slayer."

"I don't know," said Connor. "You're looking a little stocky." Lela clouted him in the arm. "Hey, ouch. What'd I say?"

"Connor, first rule of women, never insult their weight," said Kelvin.

"Thanks, Dad. I'll write it down."

"Giving your son demeaning advice," said Faith. "Ain't that sweet?"

"Yeah," said Angel.

          Right then Gunn walked through the door. Kelvin was right behind him. Lela couldn't believe it. She walked up and gave him a hug. Kelvin hugged her back, glad to see her.

"Hey. Kelvin, what are you doing here? Where have you been?" Lela asked.

"I followed Gunn here. You know him?" Kelvin asked.

"Yes. But, Gunn, how'd you find Kelvin?"

"The kid ran into my ride. He killed a vamp, too. He's pretty good," said Gunn.

Lela couldn't believe it. "Really? You killed a vamp?"

"Yeah. It ain't the only one, though. I killed other vamps. I took down some demons, too."

Lela's mouth nearly dropped open. "Whoa. The kid's better than you, Le-girl," said Faith.

"Thanks, Faith," Lela muttered to herself sarcastically.

"I heard that," said Connor.

"No, you didn't," said Lela, giving him a hard look. She turned to Kelvin. "So what have you been up to?"

"Killing demons… looking for Lanai."

"Really? Any luck?" Lela asked.

"No," Kelvin replied sadly.

"I'm sorry," said Lela.

"I could use a little time to… chill." Kelvin looked at Faith. "Could I stay a while?"

"Whatever. This place is suddenly a hotel, anyway," Faith replied.

          That night Kelvin settled into the room Faith gave him. The fourteen-year-old had brought a couple pair of jeans and a few t-shirts with him, along with his ax. Kelvin fell asleep quickly. He hadn't been getting much rest since he started into the "family business."

          Kelvin slowly drifted off. When he opened his eyes again he wasn't in his bed. He wasn't even in the mansion. Kelvin stood in his old room of his previous house. How had he gotten there? Kelvin peeked his head out of his bedroom and couldn't believe what he saw… nothing. There was nothing all around. The rest of his house was gone. Nothing but bright white illumination shown.

          He stepped out of his bedroom and touched down on the white. He did not fall into space or anything. Kelvin left his bedroom. Without warning he went flying. Literally, he flew. But he wasn't in control of it. Kelvin landed in front of a bedroom door with a hello kitty poster on it. Kelvin opened the door and saw that it was his sister, Lanai's, room. He slowly stepped inside.

"Kelvin, you're finally here." Kelvin looked up. His little sister stood before him. Where had she come from. She hadn't been there before. "Where you been?"

"Lanai!" Kelvin exclaimed. He ran up to hug her but went right through her body. Kelvin looked puzzled.

"It's not my fault," said Lanai, who didn't talk nearly as southern as her older brother. "I've been looking for you."

"I been lookin' for you. Where you been, Lanai? I miss you," said Kelvin.

"Oh, Kelvin, it's not my fault. They got me."

"Who got you?"

"Them."

"Them?"

"Yeah. They have me. I'm so scared. I'm in a weird place. It's so scary here. I want to go home but they won't let me."

"Who are they? Who doin' this to you?" Kelvin demanded.

"They're crazy. They're hurting me! I've been trying to talk to you. And Rodney and Mama. Where are they?"

Kelvin just realized. She didn't know. "Lanai, they…" Suddenly Lanai looked as if her body was fading. "Lanai?"

"Oh, no. They know! Kelvin, they're gonna get me. Help me!"

"Lanai!" Kelvin tried to grab her but disappeared. "Let her go!" Kelvin didn't know whom he was talking to. He wanted her back. "Let her GO!"

          Kelvin awoke then with a huge gasp. He looked towards his window. The sun was almost up. Kelvin looked at the clock near his bed. Six o'clock. Kelvin lay his head down on his pillow panting. He made a decision then. Kelvin got out of bed quickly then. He changed into a different pair of jeans and one of his t-shirts. Kelvin grabbed his ax and left the house then.

          A couple of hours later a yawning Lela came down the hall and knocked on Kelvin's door. She got no reply. She knocked harder.

"Kelvin, come on. We should talk," Lela called. "Kelvin?" She opened the door and saw his empty bed. "Oh, man."

          Lela changed clothes and attached a quick note to her door in case anyone woke up before she left. As she left she remembered something. Lela went back upstairs, grabbed her crossbow, and left the house in a hurry.

San Francisco, CA (three hours later)

          Kelvin sat on the bed in Lanai's room. He could not stop thinking about her. He also couldn't make heads or tails about the message. Lela walked into the bedroom then. Kelvin looked surprised to see her.

"What you doin' here?" he asked.

"Looking for you," she replied. "I thought you'd be here."

"Lanai talked to me."

"She did?" Lela sounded excited. She sat down next to him. "Are you serious? Where is she?"

"She ain't here. It was in my dream last night."

Lela's face fell. "Oh, well, Kelvin, you know, that was probably just a—"

"Dream. No it wasn't. It was for real. I know it. My sister need me. And I'm go find her."

"What? You mean alone? Forget it."

"Lela—"

"No, Kelvin. I want to help you. I'm the slayer. And evil has taken away somebody pretty good. You're not the only one who wants her back."

Kelvin sighed. He was defeated. "Thanks. Let's get outta here."

"Wait. I think I hear something."

"What?"

          Lela stood up from the bed. She went around to the closet. As soon as the door opened a vampire came flying out. Kelvin grabbed his ax. But the vamp suddenly dusted. Lela stood with her aimed crossbow.

"Oh, yeah. I knew I heard something," she said.

Kelvin smirked. "Good one."

"Thank you. God, vamps will take over anybody's house."

"It'll just bring the property value up."

A/N: I stayed up late trying to finish this so you people owe me one. And if anything confuses you let me know and I'll answer some questions. Oh, and sorry if the characterization is off. It happens. But no worries. I'll fix it.
