Angel was pacing in Buffy's apartment. It had been an hour and a half since he informed Giles about the present situation and was waiting impatiently for his call back. Angel took one more trip to the table and back before picking up the phone. He dialed Giles's number and let it ring. "Come on Giles. Answer your phone." It kept ringing. Angel hung up after the tenth ring. He looked around and made up his mind. He was going to go to the party. He grabbed his coat from the kitchen and put it on.
There was a knock at the door.
Angel fixed his jacket as he walked towards it. He grabbed a piece of wood from the broken table and held it tightly. He opened the door and readied the stake.
"No!" someone screamed.
"Giles?" Angel asked.
"Yes. So, uh, put that away, please."
Angel looked at the stake. "Oh, sorry. I've just been popular with the vampires today." Giles walked in, Kennedy behind him. "Who's this?"
"I'm Kennedy."
"She's a Slayer," Giles informed, pulling a book from his weapons pack.
"Hey," Angel greeted.
Kennedy looked him up and down and brushed him off.
"Nice to meet you too," Angel said.
"We have some problems," Giles enlightened, looking through his book.
"How did you get here so fast?"
"We took a private plane. The Watcher's Council has all sorts of transportation." Kennedy turned to Giles. "And I still say we should've taken the Mustang."
"Kennedy, you can not drive through water."
"Yes, but you can use a boat to bring the car to the European shore and then drive on land. I could've driven since it doesn't have a stick." Kennedy smiled at her play on words.
"Aha." Giles showed Angel the book. "Here. It's information on Lenity. How he lost his powers, how he can get them back, and other happy scenarios."
"What happened?" Angel asked, not wanting to bother reading.
"He had his powers taken away by one of Dracula's brides and he can only get them back once he showed love towards someone else. So, he plans on marrying Buffy, getting his powers back, and creating a permanent eclipse so he can rule the world." Kennedy looked at Giles to see if she got it right.
"He also needs to turn her into a vampire before they wed," Giles added. Kennedy gritted her teeth for forgetting the most crucial part.
"We gotta stop it."
"My thoughts exactly, but we can't go in unprepared and without a plan."
"Giles, we have no idea when the wedding is. It could be tonight. Or right now for a matter of fact. We can develop a plan on the way there." Angel left the apartment. Giles grabbed the bag and followed with Kennedy shutting the door behind him.
"You know how to get there?" Giles asked.
"That would be an important step," Kennedy stated.
"A little vampire told me." Angel started down the steps. Three vampires were on their way up, wearing their game faces. "Great," Angel said sarcastically.
"Wonderful," Giles said, continuing the sarcasm.
"Awesome!" Kennedy voiced, very excited. Angel and Giles glanced at her. "What? This is what I do, leave me alone."
The vampires growled and attacked. Angel high punched the one that ran towards him. Giles swung and missed and was punched in the face. Kennedy jump kicked the stomach of the third.
Angel ducked a punch and came up behind him. The henchman tried a backhand punch but Angel blocked it. He kicked his side and punched his face. "Giles! I could use a stake!"
Giles opened his bag and grabbed a stake. He tossed it to Angel. He grabbed a bottle of holy water and tossed it in the vampire's face. He screamed in pain as his visage smoked. Giles grabbed a stake from the bag and jabbed it into the vampire's chest. He tossed it to Kennedy, who was ready to receive.
Kennedy caught the stake and blocked a roundhouse kick to her body. She blocked an upper cut by grabbing his hand. With a backhand punch to his face, he steps back to keep his balance. Kennedy grabbed his right arm and kicked him three times in the stomach. He slammed against the wall before Kennedy drove the stake through his chest.
Angel kicked the stranger in the leg, making him cry out. He tried punching him, but Angel took his arm and punched him with his other hand. He twisted his arm around so Angel's front side was against his backside and hurled the stake in his heart.
"That was exhilarating," Kennedy said, walking down a few steps to Giles.
"You'll like the party then," Giles commented.
"What're we gonna do? I mean, we have a Slayer, a Watcher and a vampire, but there probably isn't just ten vampires at this guy's house."
"We'll figure it out on the way," Angel said. He continued down the stairs. "We need to make one stop first."
