LA, California – Hyperion Hotel – 2007

"So, he's one of the next rulers of hell?" Kennedy said in an unconvinced tone. Everyone nodded. "Whoa. I would have never guessed that."

"Yea. Well it's true and his good buddy raised me up so I could die again." Cordy said in an annoyed tone.

Lorne came down the stairs Andre in tow. The new suit shined brightly as he walked down the stairs with a new satisfied face. It was long and baggy on him but it suited his determined, sophisticated look nonetheless.

"Wow." Willow said as the flashy looking teenager walked down the steps. "Is that the same kid?" she joked.

Spike chuckled. "What are we some big happy family again? Are we planning just go on like they were never dead? Do we really know we can trust these kids? Will someone please help me out here! Will someone at least act a bit logical! Cause heaven knows I'm not very good at that part." He stated loudly.

Cleveland, Ohio – Old Marvin Apartments - 2007

The phone rang in Faith's ear as she waited for an answer. Her heart pumped loudly. Most things couldn't shake her but the overflowing amount of demons made her feel small and outnumbered.

Her mind raced back to the face of the blond haired man. He had been yelling out orders to find someone. Faith would have sworn it was Satan himself if she'd gotten a glimpse of horns. But she hadn't. All she saw was an angry blond haired man wearing a white and red suit and top hat.

"Hello?" an answer finally came. Kennedy.

"Kennedy? What are you doing answering Angel's phone?" Faith asked confused.

Kennedy hesitated then replied, "He's kind of busy at the moment."

"Oh, well I need to talk to him. Like now! It's important." Faith demanded.

"Um… one second." Kennedy replied.

Faith listened intently. She heard some mumbling and some shouting but still Angel did not answer her call. She sat down on her bed lightly and started to organize all her options in her head. She was not one to think ahead but whatever she had seen seemed almost scarier then the apocalypse. Something about that man freaked her out.

"Faith?" Angel finally answered.

"Angel! Is that you?" Faith asked to make sure she wasn't just hearing things.

Angel hesitated by the way Faith had said it. It was like she didn't believe it could actually be him. "Yes Faith, it's me. What's up?" he responded trying to sound like he hadn't noticed.

"Something's going on here. Something bad. Angel I think we may need to gather the old troops." Faith said upset that she had had to make this call but he voice stiffened, "I think it may be an apocalypse."

Angel thought about it then said, "What about the slayers? You must have tons there. We kind of have some stuff of our own to deal with."

Faith stiffened more, "No, they're not trained for this kind of evil."

Hell Dimension – 2007

The man stroked his blond hair with his clean-cut, perfect hands. For a demon his human features were almost more perfect than a real human. A woman looked down at him from her position on top of a small cliff of rock. A baby in her arms squealed as it tried to wiggle it's way out of the grips of the woman's grip. The woman put it down on the hard rock then sat down beside it. Her black blouse hung off her beautifully as she sat watching the small blond haired baby crawl around the rocky terrain.

"How's she doing?" the man asked looking at the little girl.

The woman looked at the man again then back at the boy, "She's doing good. She's strong like her father." She looked back up at the man, "Did you find them Caplo?"

He sat down on a rock, "No, I'm afraid that the Sacred Children are taking their time getting to Cleveland. But don't worry I'll get them back."

"You bet to Hell you will!" A deep voice came from behind them. They both turned around to see and old frail black man with red patterns all over his body. "We will not lose them. We owe that to Hell. They have waited long enough in these dark caverns."

Caplo stood up tall, "Yes Sir, I will Baross. We have sacrificed a lot. We can not lose now." He went over to the child on the rock. Kissed her on the forehead then in a light voice said, "You are a princess Majen. Don't forget that." Then he moved towards the woman, took her hand an kissed it gently, "And you are a queen, Ferius." Then he disappeared into the rock.

"Keep that child safe Ferius. We'll need her when they come back. She may be our last hope." Baross said before disappearing through the rock after Caplo.

LA, California – Hyperion Hotel – 2007

"Faith says she saw some kind of Apocalypse. But she doesn't know anything more." Angel reported to the rest of the group. "She says it looked strong. She's going to call Buffy."

"An apocalypse? Another one? Man do these baddies ever give up?" Kennedy stated from her place on the circular couch in the center of the room.

Willow sighed. "Apocalypse's happen on a regular basis for the Scoobies and Angel Investigations. It's not surprising that one is happening in Cleveland where there's another Hellmouth. It's just something must have been seriously wrong if she believes that the hundred or so slayers she's got there can't handle it."

Everyone started discussing the situation at once as Andre watched in thoughtful silence.

"I can help." He blurted.

Everyone froze. They looked at him as though he was crazy. They were completely dumbfounded.

Then Spike perked up and with a cheeky smile said, "Of course you can kid. As soon as you grow out of this next ruler of Hell stage."

"Spike!" Willow said angered at the rudeness. "He's just a kid, go pick on someone your own age!"

"Okay. Angel boy! How are the clouds going these days?" Spike kidded.

Angel smiled and lightly shoved his blond haired friend. Things were finally starting to look good for the group even if they had just been informed of an apocalypse.
