Alexa covers her eyes and Connor and Lexa smile as they watch the head of Hamilton.
"Thanks, but who are you?" ask Angel.
"Let's just say a friend sent us," replies Lexa. The building begins to shake once again. Pieces of the building start to come down.
"Alright now get out of here," says Angel.
"But dad," says Connor.
"Connor go! Now!"
Lexa, Alexa, and Connor head towards the stairs down the hall avoiding the pieces of the building falling on top of them. Angel runs to a room and finds Eve. She asks him about Lindsay and Angel replies by saying that he is gone.
"Get out of the building," says Angel. Eve walks up to him, looks at him, and then runs down the hallway to the stairs.
Angel heads to the alley way by the Hyperion Hotel. It is raining and Spike appears out of the shadows. Then Gunn comes running over to the two of them out of breath. Wesley and Illyria drop down from the rooftop.
"Next time I'll walk," says Wesley to Illyria. Angel is surprise and happy to see his team alive and in one piece. They look down the alleyway and begin to see many hell beings heading toward them.
Angel sword in hand faces the alley way and so does his team ready to take on anything and everything that comes in their way.
"Are you ready," ask Angel.
"Yeah, I'm ready to die again," replies Spike.
"They say third time is a charm Spike," says Gunn. Spike looks at Gunn and raises an eyebrow. "Where do we start?"
"Well, I kind of like to slay the dragon," Angel says.
"We won't last thirty seconds. We'll fade before we..." Illyria says.
"Let's get ready to work," says Angel. The team is about to charge when they stop. They look toward the rooftops and see a whole bunch of girls climbing down into the alleyway. Then from behind Angel's crew some people come out from the shadows. Spike turns around.
"Buffy," says Spike noticing the leading figure is the petit blonde with Xander, Willow, and Faith behind her.
Before Angel could turn around a hand touches his shoulder from the other side. His head turns and he sees Cordelia. He drops the sword from his hand and Cordy grabs his hand. The two stare at each other spellbound.
"Cordelia," Angel finally says. "What are you doing here?" She gives him a smile and caresses her other hand on his face.
"Uh," says Buffy when she sees Angel and Cordy close.
"When did they get together?" ask Xander not jealous at all of Angel.
"I just thought you needed a second front now," says Cordy.
"Angel we're all here to back you up," says Buffy ready and arm.
Angel releases Cordy's hand and he touches her other hand. He then pulls her close to him and kisses her hard and long.
"Thanks,"
says Angel releasing her from a long awaited kiss and he smiles. Then
he faces the monsters and demons coming at him. "Alright there is
going to be a lot of violence."
"Oh, I like that," says
Buffy. Spike smiles at her.
"Yeah, so watch yourself," says Spike walking next to Angel. "And don't get dead." Spike looks directly at Buffy when he says that.
Everyone agrees and they start to walk towards the battlefield. Weapons are raise high ready to slice and dice the evil forces that is heading in their direction.
The battle is hard and violent with blood spilling from both sides. Severe wounds are the common grounds of the two groups.
The slayers were giving it there all slicing heads off and stabbing demons and monsters in their hearts.
Alexa, the squeamish slayer, takes on two demons with horns and gets them both by plunging a sword into their hearts. The demons come back to back and she gets them both with on blow.
Lexa, the rebel/witch/slayer, takes on five demons slicing their heads and stabbing them in their hearts. She is having a blast.
The rest of the scoobies take on an army of demons and monsters. Many of them they had fought before but others are new breeds.
Xander has great skill, mastering the double-sided axe that he made and he starts to axe some demon's heads easily.
Willow is using her powers burning the demons and monsters from the inside out. Then the demons decide to surround the red head witch, but they had not notice the big force field that she creates around her. It shocks any demon attempting to get to her.
Buffy carries a big sword and smaller sword in her hands. She had got some good fencing training from Giles and now she could put it to good use on these demons with weapons of their own. Her strategies are smooth and she will stab one demon from one side and another from the other sides with her other sword.
Faith fights well with a pretty bad wound. Xander keeps a close watch on her just in case she needs assistance.
Angel's crew are wiping the floors by the dozen with the demons and monsters. Spike fights three demons about two times his size. He gives them a couple of punches then stabs them.
Wesley knocks each demon that try to attack him with his axe first then he stabs them with it. Behind Wesley Illyria punches the demons on the face and breaks their heads.
Angel and Cordy double-team their foes with swords in hand. Gunn too fights well with the rest of them getting quick blows at the demons and monsters taking them by surprise.
The rain still comes down hard as the last couple of demons and monster go down. Breathing heavily in the rain 'our' hero's make sure that all the icky and slimy are dead then they search for the humans who may be down.
"Everyone alright?" ask Angel walking with a limp and dragging his sword. The only moving bodies come walking over to Angel.
"Who needs a hospital?" ask Spike kicking one of the dead demon bodies out of his way. Everyone raise their hands.
It then stop raining and a bright light peeks in from the horizon. A rainbow above them forms.
Angel and Spike look at it and realize something.
"Oh my gosh!" they say at the same time. "The sun!" They both run for cover thinking that they are on fire. When they reach the inside of the Hyperion Hotel they notice that they didn't even get burn at all.
"How come we're not dust?" ask Spike pulling out his hand into the sun and seeing that nothing happens.
"The sun is not affecting us," says Angel. Cordy makes her way to Angel and grabs his hand. She pulls him out into the sun. Angel squints his eyes as he looks up at the sun and the rainbow.
Everyone walks out of the alley and sees the mess of demons and monsters they made. The slayers follow Xander, Faith, and Willow out of the battlefield. Alexa tries to jump over them but she trips over one. Xander goes over to help her up.
Buffy walks over to Spike and grabs his hand. Spike looks down at her hand then back at her face. She gives him a sweet smile.
"Angel you saved the world," says Cordy looking into his eyes.
"It's about dame time," says Angel in a lot of pain but content to see the sun.
