Angel, Dawn, and Buffy sat in Angels apartment living room in ackward silence between them all. After breaking the news about the Angel Gangs split up and the Shanshu making Angel human again, the word 'apocolypse' that could make Buffy curse several times and run her hands through her head rather then eat a bag of cheetos and take it with a grain of salt didn't make it better.

" So is someone going to explain this big bad apocolypse to me?" Angel said leaning foward and clasping his hands together.

" Well, from what the Oric prophecy the new Watchers Council have gathered it's going to be a doozy." Dawn sighed, " The Oric Prophecy has just recently been unearthed by us. It tells of a pure vampire from the 'Dark Dimension', where the vampire demons orginated from, coming to our demension and bringing their most dangerous weapon with it."

" I've been a vampire for nearly 250 years, and I've never heard of any Dark Dimension or Pure vampires." Angel said confused.

" Well.... We all know that Vampires are basically demons that just inhabit dead corpses after the soul has left, through spiritual entry from another vampire. They inherit all of their corpses memories, traits, fears, likes, dislikes, they become what their corpse used to be. Only evil. In the beggining, before the slayer," Dawn cast a quick look over to Buffy, " The first vampire demon was seen by the first watchers and recorded before the watchers who created the slayer cast the vampire demon into a dark essance and threw it into it's own dimension. The Dark Dimension. A land where there is no light, no crosses, a place of unholy terrors."

" Sounds like a sucky vacation spot." Angel smirked.

" Yeah for humans. They'd be killed on sight." Buffy said and reached into her brown leather hand bag and pulled out a book.

" This looks oddly familiar." Angel said taking the book from her. The words 'Vampyre' faded out on the cover, " How long have you kept this?"

" Since Giles gave it to me." Buffy nodded and tugged on a Snoopy bookmark, Angel flipped the pages to the marked page, " Thats what a pure vampire is." She pointed to the picture.

" Holy shit." Angel said shaking his head. The picture was of a tall man, bareing a stricking resemballance to The Master, only with black feathered wings reaching about 9 ft off his back. He held a long spear pointing to a sea of dead bodies and many other feathered demons picking them off.

" We're not really sure what the weapon the vampire is going to bring, but it's deffently going to be something really bad." Dawn folded her hands.

" Why do you need me though?" Angel put the book down. " And the others? You guys have fought before on your own why suddenly do you need our help?"

" Cause this is fucking big!" Buffy stood up, " Angel, the Oric prophecy also said that the vampire would use the weapon to open the gates of every dimension and bleed them all together letting the vampires cross into any dimension and recking havioc on everyone everywhere! It could open every hellmouth on earth and cause baddies from hell dimensions to come into ours."

" You can do it without me." Angel said standing up. " I'm not a vampire anymore I'm human. I live a normal human life. I don't hunt vampires or demons anymore."

" But you still have knowlege about a lot of things that the council might not have. You have connections to higher demons Angel we need you." Dawn stood up. " And we need the others."

" Look. Let me.... Just let me sleep on it tonight." Angel shook his head. " I'll have an answer for you tommarow."

" Fine." Buffy strained her voice, " We'll be back tommarow morning. Come on Dawn." Dawn stood up, " We have a room in the Highten Hotel if you need us." She started to walk out, then said something to Dawn who nodded and went ahead.

" Something else?" Angel asked tiredly.

" You have a son...." Buffy said weakly and looked at him.

" Yeah. With.... With Darla, she killed herself to save him though." Angel figited unconfertably.

" Think about your son Angel. You'd be doing this for him." And with that Buffy left the room aparatment room and joined her sister in the elevator. Angel sighed and ran a hand through his hair and looked at the phone for a while then grunted angerily and walked to his bedroom.

The phone rang, echoing through the master bedroom of a town-home in a small rustic town outside LA. A man groaned tirely and rolled over and slopply picked up the phone.

" Mehay." He mumbled incoherintly, " Hello." He corrected himself.

" Hey." Came Angels voice over the other end.

" Dad? What the hell are you doing calling so late?" Conner asked and looked at the clock, " Or early I guess. You do realize it's 2 am?"

" Yeah, sorry about the early call, couldn't sleep."

" After being human for a good 5 years you'd think be used to sleeping by now." Conner yawned.

" How's Ashely?"

" Sleeping Dad." Conner said glancing over to his sleeping wife laying beside him. " We have work tommarow."

" I was wondering if you had any idea where Spike, Illyria, or Lorne were?" Angel blurted out. Silence hung over the other side. " Conner?"

" Yeah, still here. Um, Lorne.... Oh yeah, green guy. I saw him a while ago at a club in Vegas, I think he owns the place now. I thought it was a fake memory or something left behind." Conner whispered into the phone. " Why?"

" I'll talk to you about it in the morning." Angel replied.

" Yeah okay. Good night." Conner mumbled and hung up the phone falling back into the bed.

" Who was it honney?" Asked Ashley sleeply.

" Jus' my dad. Come on lets get some sleep, you have slaying tommarow." Conner smiled and hugged his wife around the waist and drifted back to sleep.

Dawn lay sleeping on one of the two beds in her and Buffy's hotel room. Buffy lay in the other one flipping through random channels of their small TV. She took out a small book from her purse labled, ' Prophecys' which was scribbled in Dawns handwritting on the outside as well as the in.

" The Oric Prophecy." Buffy began silently reading under her breath, " The true vampire shall come forth from the dimension where no light has been seen. The pure vampire shall bring with it the weapon that mass destruction cannot fill its hunger. It will bleed the dimensions together yet pry the worlds apart. Only an army of good can prevent it, built of the champions of past and new, gods and goddesses, ennimes and friends. Or all shall suffer." She finished the prophecy and closed the booklet casting one last look on her sleeping sister before falling asleep herself.
