Part 3 : 'The heat is on'

'Illyria!' Shouted Angel… 'Look out behind you!' Illyria turned herself around and jumped over the fast approaching demon. Now while she stood behind the demon she turned herself around again and grabbed him by the head and threw him high in the air. Quickly she blocked the attack of three more demons at the same time and snapped there necks when she had the chance. Illyria stopped fighting she looked around and saw more demons approaching her

but it would take a few more seconds until they were in combat range. She saw Spike fighting for his life against 4 headless demons. Gunn fought against three more vampire looking creatures. But they overpowered him. One vampire punched Gunn in his stomach. 'Ugh!' Gunn collapsed to the ground. Illyria came to his aid but more demons approached her as well.

She was now surrounded by 12 demons. There was little time to think so she did what any normal person would do… She Screamed, she screamed harder and louder then any normal human could. Most of the demons surrounding her covered there ears. Some demons actually covered there feet. Illyria stopped screaming realizing most of the demons surrounding her all stood off-balance. This was her chance… she kicked all the demons to the ground, there was no time to kill them properly. Gunn was in need of her aid.

'Human.' Illyria said. 'your life is fading… rest!' Gunn looked at Illyria. 'Illyria… we're no..t goi…ng to make it…. Ri..ght? Tell me… were my moments… memorable?' Gunn was empty… he was exhausted, death was only a moment away… Illyria looked at Gunn… She grabbed Gunn around his waist and carried him to safety. She looked at the place in the alley were Gunn fought countless demons. Limbs, dust washed away by the rain was all she saw. He mush have killed at least 20 more demons. Gunn inhaled his last breath… ' Illyria…. OH NO LOOK OUT BEHIND YOU' Gunn immediately stood up and pushed Illyria out of the way. A giant looking demon slashed his sword towards Illyria but he missed Illyria but the sword did made contact with a body… Gunn's body. The sword pierced thru his stomach. Illyria saw what happened and she responded with a powerful punch to the Demons head. The demons brains exploded upon impact. 'Gunn!' Illyria said. 'Why did you do that… his instrument wouldn't even have scratched my surface' Illyria eyes were wide open…

she respected this human. Now more than ever. Gunn's eyes were slowly closing. The sword still rested in his body. 'Hey… it's the thought that counts right? his eyes were now closed. 'Thank you Fred…' Gunn exhaled his last breath. Illyria just stood there emotionless. She decided that more violence would be appropriate right about now. She pulled the sword out of Gunn's dead body. She looked at her newly acclaimed instrument and immediately decapitated 4 approaching demons. Hey eyes were glowing in the dark.

Angel already killed 50 demons. More were approaching him. The heat is on. Literally because there was still a dragon to kill waiting on his to-do list. The alley they were fighting in just kept overloading with more and more demons. Angel jump-flipped backwards over a few demons. He grabbed the wall next to him. And climbed it. Via windows and stairs he reached the top of the alley-building. The dragon approached him. Angel again readied his sword.

The dragon flew towards him. 'closer…' angel whispered 'come…on' The dragon now flew directly above him. Angel quickly threw his sword point up into the sky. The sword pierced thru one of the dragon's wings. The dragon fell from the sky. Angel saw it was falling directly towards the Alley-ground. But in a retaliation act the dragon blew angel of the building with its fire breathing mouth. In the air, Angel grabbed the dragon making sure the dragon would brake his fall. And it did. Angel rolled to the ground. The dragon broke his other wing as well because of the fall. Angel grabbed his sword and walked towards the dragons head.

He pointed the sword towards the dragons head. 'This one is personal' Angel said while piercing the dragon's head with his sword. Angel collapsed to the ground. Weakly he tried to get up but more demons approached him and when they reached him they kept kicking him to the ground. Angel was bleeding heavily.

Spike and Illyria now fought side by side. Spike helped Illyria bringing a Giant down.

'Grab his feet!' Spike yelled. Illyria kept punching the Giants leg. The giants was 10 times Illyria's size. And Illyria grew tired of this fight. More demons approached Spike and Illyria with wooden pitchforks. 'Oh bugger' Spike whispered to himself. More demons kept coming… The giant now grabbed Illyria at her waist. Illyria desperately kept punching the giant. But the giant was strong… to strong. Spike was to busy shielding him self from the wooden pitchforks to see what was happening to Illyria. The giant now grabbed Illyria with both of his hands. Trying to brake Illyria into pieces. But her shell was strong. But Illyria was in pain. Terrible pain... 'Ahhhh' the Giant screamed. Something happened to him. Illyria looked down and saw Angel chopping one of the giants leg's of with an Axe. He succeeded

The Giant fell. Illyria also fell to the ground. But she was free of the giants grip. She took the axe from Angel's hands and was now busy chopping the head of the giant of. Angel ran towards Spike. A demon with an wooden pitchfork was about to stake Spike. Angel sneaked behind that demon and snapped it's neck. 'Angel?' spike yelled. 'what happened? A moment ago you were being smashed by those demons.' Angel smiled. 'come on… remember Britain 1832?' Spike smiled 'Good on you mate!'

Illyria Spike and Angel now regrouped. They stood as a team next to Gunn's death body.

'Let's hope there's time to mourn over them tomorrow.' Angel said remembering Wesley as well. They were evaluating there position. They were standing at the exact same place they begun fighting countless death demons ago. But it seemed the amounts of demons were doubled. Though there were no more giants or dragons. The amounts of normal sized demons were tremendous. 'So got any more bright ideas half-breed?' Illyria said to Angel. 'Clearly half-breed you…' Illyria was interrupted by Spike : 'Take it easy blue were all in the same situation here.' Angel turned himself around. There was no exit. The only exit was behind the thousands of demons. 'I guess this is it.' Angel looked at Spike and Illyria. 'Ready to go out fighting?' Spike smiled. It looked as if Illyria was having an internal debate with herself. In the end all she did was nodded. They were ready to make there last stand. Angel Smiled

Spike laughed. Illyria… stood there. They formed a triangle. With Angel up front and Spike and Illyria behind him. L.A was in flames. Behind the tall buildings you could clearly see buildings covered by smoke. The Apocalypse was here. Apocalypse nowish.
