Chapter 1
"I am uncertain, but it could be useful," Illyria said as she took the shinny stone from Angel's hand. "It may allow me to use some of the powers that Wesley took from me, or the power may already be drained."
"Listen, that's really nice love, but if your going to do anything with that stone you better get a move on it," Spike said.
Gunn looked at Spike and said with a disgusted look on his face "I really hate to say it but I'm going have to agree with Spike for a change on this one."
"Oh," Spike said who was getting angry with Gunn. "You just hate to admit that I'm right. I completely understand that you....."
"Alright enough you two. If you haven't noticed we have a bigger problem. Not that I don't mind you fighting I would just prefer if you fight the demons first before you kill each other. Me and Illyria can't do this alone so don't even make us try," Angel said as he looked from Spike to Gunn who both looked like they were ready to fight each other.
"This stone impresses me. The power of it is great. It is as if I could feel all the destruction it could do running through me," Illyria said with a small smile.
"Okay, that's really nice Illyria, but what will it do."Angel said with a questioning look.
Then the stone in Illyria's hand started to glow. Time began to move slowly around them. Every demon seemed to be going in slow motion while Angel, Spike, Illyria, and Gunn were the only ones that were moving at a regular speed.
"Wow," Gunn said. "This should even the odds out."
"This is more like it," Spike said. "Now let's get a bloody move on it and get rid of these damn demons before everything goes back to how it should be."
"Let's go," Angel said. "We don't know how much time we'll have. Everyone should try to slay as many as they can, but all of you better leave the dragon because he's for me. I mean after all I was the first to call it."
"Angel we get it. You get the dragon so can we go kill some demons or do you want to talk some more?" Gunn asked.
"Fine," Angel said. "Just go."
