Author's Note: So Today I've been on a bit of a story roll as you can well enough see. I'm sorry I'm a lazy punk. I am in desperate need of a Beta for this story. Basically I need someone who can proof my chapters to make sure I am staying within my own cannon (story line). I can't keep track of the stuff going on in this story anymore and it has thus become increasingly difficult to motivate myself to write (cos I'm convinced I'm gonna screw somehting up and the lot of you are gonna yell at me). And after reading the last chapter I apparently need someone who can help me proof the spelling too, none of this is written on a program with a spell check so I rarely fix anything. Well if you'd like to apply for the position of beta email me: ladydrae at execpc dot com (written out so you can see it, if you don't know how to make that an email addy, well I doubt you should be beta-ing) or IM me on AIM at ladybtvspike. The benefits are you get credited as being the supreme ass-istant to me (and if you contribute ideas you get a writing credit too, ooo), you get to read everything first (if you wanna beta all my stories you get all of them first) and I might have an incredibly smutty (ie: non ff.net appropriate material NC-17) Spuffy story you exclusively can read (I may also have some Spillow and Waith (Willow and Faith)as well). And well I'll love you as will all my readers cos then I'll be able to spit out chapters for this story more easily. And isn't love a good enough reward????? Alternately I'd be willing to help you with your own stories or heck if I like you lots, I'll let you write an entire chapter (which is not me trying to get out of writing, just me trying to make this deal sound appealing cos there is no cash involved). Or I can burn you a copy of the un-aired Buffy pilot! That's right see Sunnydale with the original Willow and before the technology to actually dust vamps (trust me its hilarious), watch Xander and Jesse be adorable skater punks, love the evil Miss Cordelia Chase, and see what the Library originally looked like! Oh the suspense! And yes, this chapter is horribly short and crappy, that's why I need you beta!!!

My Final note before starting this story, which may be mildly spoilerish to those of you who haven't seen the last ::wipes tear:: of Angel, but I would just like to type out one of the finest lines ever written by Joss for Angel: "I don't know about you, but I kinda want to slay the dragon. Let's go to work." Joss, thank you for making Angel's last episode about 6,000 times better than Buffy's last hour. You made me believe that this 'verse really isn't over!!!!

"So we have some more options on how to stop these elves, Stevie has been quite helpful." Giles told the few he could gather in the lobby of the Hyperion. Andrew was busy painting runes on doors and windows, with Xander and Gunn assisting. "Currently we are making our operation invisible to them, which may make them angry enough to forgoe the blood moon waring date and instead strike early. I doubt it though. Fred we will need for your science division to create a weapon which pumps out boiling water. You have only a few days to do this, I appologize for the short notice. Once the Berzerkers are chopped up that boiling water will stop regeneration. We may also be able to just shoot them with it and stop them, but we aren't sure on that. Their warriors cannot tolerate this climate so they should be slower and easier to stop. The lot of us will be working to stop them, or at least keep them busy enough to get Faith, Willow and Angelus through the line."

"I'll get Knox on it right after we get our temporary tatoos." Fred smiled.

Faith looked at Angel and asked, "I know we have plans and all, but what's to stop him from eating us?"

"Willow is going to do a protection spell so he can't hurt you, but that does not mean he won't be dangerous."

"I'm sitting right here!"

"Angel, you know best of all that Angelus isn't neccessarily the most predictable individual. We need him to complete this mission, it's that simple." Giles looked back to the group. "We no longer believe that the portal will be neccessary. Although Willow will have one on the backburner should we come to need it. This is falling into place a little too nicely, so we should all be anticipating something going wrong."

"Because it's just not the apocalypse without wacky antics!" Xander laughed.

"Alright, those of you who have things to do, get marked and head out. Angel, Cordelia should be coming in soon, could you please send Wesley to pick her up? I'd hate for a stranger to meet her at the airport. Faith and Willow, I need to talk to you." Giles ended the mini-meeting.

"Giles, why is Cordy on her way back?" Angel asked.

"Oh, we, uh, well Wesley said she was needed for something, I'm really not all that clear on it." Angel walked off looking confused.

"So boss, what's the dealy?" Faith asked.

"Willow, I need you to start seeding Angel's mind now. If the Svartalf opt to strike sooner rather than later we need everything in place."

"No problem. Just let me know what you want planted in there and I'll get my hoe!" Willow looked shocked, "Garden implement hoe, not other hoe, oh of course, I become a goddess and still say the worst possible thing ever!" She started laughing.

"Now the plan has changed somewhat. We are going to get the three of you through the line. Angelus has to bleed on the Svartalf to make them mortal, then they should be easy to kill. If Angelus won't bleed freely, Willow you may have to do a spell."

"I've always felt that knives made blood flow much easier than magic." Faith added. "And you know how much I love knives."

"That is an option as well. Once they have been bled on kill them. Once they are all dead, kill Angelus, err dust him."

"Not a problem." Faith smiled. "I'd love to give that bastard just what's coming to him."

Humble reader: Okay I know this chapter sucked, I am so sorry that I even put it up, I'll probably rework it, I just wanted to get somehting up so you don't think I'm dead.
