It all seemed hopeless. After they destroyed all the members of the Black Thorn it seemed that every demon was after them. They all knew that they wouldn't last more than 10 minutes, but they were all going to fight to the end. Angel wanted to slay the dragon, and Illyria wanted to kill anything since she was upset that Wesley was killed. Spike and Gunn were both glad to get to kill anything, but Gunn knew he wouldn't last long fighting since he had been stabbed and was bleeding, but he knew he would try.
Angel looked in his pockets to see if he could find anything that would help. All he found was lint and the stone from Illyria's sarcophagus.Illyria was about to run out to fight when Angel called her back, he didn't know if the stone would help but it was worth a shot. When Illyria came back to where Angel was he handed her the stone and asked if she knew if the stone would help.
