Author's Notes: Thank You all love ya lots...keep reviewing please, I need to know what the public is demanding, besides cheese and lower gas prices, you guys are on your own for that...I can't help ya'll. Yes I said Ya'll no I don't have that hick accent it's just down in the south we use that word a lot even if we're minus that little accent.

Leo was at least wearing dry clothes but his hair was still plastered to his skull from the water. He sat on the bar facing the group which was watching him expectantly.

"The elders said that three acts that happened simultaneously caused this, It started with a demon that escaped from a hell dimension meant to imprison the especially powerful evil demons that they couldn't figure out how to kill. His name we believe is Amero, and he is part of Tribunal of exiled judges from another dimension, that were exiled for abuse of power, and Tyranny, he freed his brothers, Kyro, Danyro. It was part of a plan to take over a dimension, throw the world into eternal evil chaos then take it over. None of them have there own shape, there actually made of black energy, but they can take any shape they choose, within a reasonable size of course, but usually they all take the same shape, which is why we dont know which is which. They all pretty much have the same powers except one, they all have one unique power, Amero can alter time, Kyro can alter perception, and Danyro can alter freewill," Leo said in one big breath, then he drew in another breath.

"So if we find Amero we can beat him into using his power to help us?" Kerri asked.

"That probably wouldn't work, you have to appeal to his interest, you see they probably didn't realize this would happen if they did it, because why would they want to rule this place if there's no one here to control?" Leo asked.

"Do what? What did they do to cause this?" Logan asked.

"They eliminated the humans race's main champions of good, One killed all the slayers in waiting, Another killed the Slayer, and the last one...killed...the Charmed Ones...along with several other witches but that was an accident..." Leo said.

"So what should we do...Are these demon guys still alive?" Kerri asked.

"Yeah they are but I can't get a lock on them..." Leo said, "The other elders are trying too..."

"Demons like the hellmouth," Angel stated.

"So are you saying we should go there or just stating a fact?" Chris asked raising an eyebrow.

Angel narrowed his eyes glaring at him. Chris shifted under his gaze, avoiding the vampire's eyes.

"I think that's a yes," Kerri answered flatly, "So who's going?"

Spike was getting rather antsy, he couldn't stay here for too long so Spike was the first to volunteer.

"All right then let's go," Spike said standing up.

"Okay," Kerri said perking up.

"Your staying here," Spike told her bluntly.

He figured that it would be more dangerous near the hellmouth, since evil seems to accumulate around it.

Kerri got up from her perch on a table and stood directly in front Spike.

"Excuse me What?" Kerri asked.

"I think he said you were staying here," Chris added helpfully.

"See even the boy got it and he's a bloody moron," Spike said sighing a bit.

"Chris, Before the end of the mess, Someone's probably going to kill you, and I just want you to know it's because you're a smartass." Kerri said sighing, "I don't need a vampire who a few days ago would've just as soon killed me before he'd even take a second glance at me."

Spike narrowed his then turned on his heel and walked out into the cluttered alley.

Kerri sighed and ran her hands through her blonde hair. She hadn't meant to sound so harsh, she just wasn't used to being protected, it bothered her.

"He'll get over it," Angel stated bluntly.

"And if he doesn't that gets him out of our way," Logan said actually sounding rather happy about the idea of ridding them of the vampire.

Nick only smiled, he had many comments that started to bubble to the surface, but he held them back for the sake of the woman.

There was a loud thump in the Alley.

"Maybe he's committing suicide," Logan laughed.

"Doubt it," Angel stated flatly as Kerri rushed for the door.

Spike had been outside smoking a cigarette and pouting, when he saw a figure stumbling into the alley, a vampire.

"You gotta help me," he said clinging to Spike's arm.

"Let go of me," Spike had told him.

"Hey Your Spike...What are you doing in San Francisco? Wait that doesn't matter you gotta help me!" he said looking behind him.

"Help you what?" Spike asked, his question was soon answered when four human shaped black figures entered the alley.

The vampire hid behind the dumpster and Spike rolled his eyes. One darted toward him tackling him and slamming him into the dumpster making a loud thump. The other vampire leapt one that one pulling him off of Spike. He hit him repeatedly in the face...well were its face should've been but it had no face, just a sort of black glowy surface.

Kerri opened the door cautiously, and found the fight...She decided to try something, she'd made a flame before a small one now she'd try for a bigger one, "Encendio!" she said loudly focusing her power. Two out of the four of them burst into flames and they caught the other two on fire...and sound they melted into a pile of burst evil mush.

Spike turned and looked wide eyed, and Kerri grinned.

"Don't say it love," Spike said rather quickly.

"What?" Kerri asked innocently...Then she caught sight of Spike's new Vampire friend, "Hey whose that?"

"Hell if I know? What is your name mate?" Spike asked him.

"Josh," he said, but he sounded a bit distracted, mainly because he was to busy eyeing Kerri.

Josh who'd been leaning on the alley wall pushed himself off with one foot and started walking toward Kerri, holding out his hand.

"And you would be?" he asked.

Kerri had never been around any vampires that had actually tried to kill her so she took his hand before Spike could even protest. Josh took her hand and yanked her forward vamping out and his fangs headed for her neck, he got his fangs into her neck but didn't actually get to drink any of her blood because Spike grabbed him by the hair and yanked him backward.

"She is not food," Spike said gripping his hair so tightly that a thin line of blood appeared at the edge of his scalp, then he slammed his head brutally into the wall, "And since I don't have a stake I'm just going to have to beat you until your little more then a pile of bloody mush."

"Spike I didn't..." Josh started but Spike slammed his head into the wall again.

"Love, why don't you go inside and get Leo to fix that bite mark..." Spike suggested.

This time Kerri didn't argue, she went inside.
