Chapter 8

End of Days Redux

Later that day, night fall

"Good boy." Buffy/First said to the WolfBlade as she pat it on the head. "Now go with the others.'

The First made a connection with the WolfBlades, so anything they saw, it saw. The WolfBlade in question just came back from scouting Buffy's house. Or the debris of it to be more accurate. It seems that when the First staged the zombie attack on Buffy's house, she had the bringers place bombs on it.

"Caleb, it's time for the next phase of my plan." The First said as the WolfBlade scampered away. "Since the Slayers and potentials are dead we're going to attack there last line of defense. After Angel and his pathetic friends are destroyed, the world is ours." she said as Caleb just grinned at her.

"Now take the bringers and the Turok-han and go to Los Angeles. I'll get the zombies and the WolfBlades and meet you there." she said as they began to walk towards the door. She wanted to take care of Angel as soon as possible.

" You know something alway's bothered me." Caleb said as they moved to open the door.

"What kind of fella' calls himself Angel?" he asked as he opened the door. As he did he was shocked to see someone standing in front of him.

"I don't know, the ladies seem to like it." Angel said as he punched Caleb in the face.

Flashback

Several hours earlier around 1 a.m.

After their little battle with the zombies everyone got some much needed sleep. All except two people. Seeing that Xander was still awake, Jesse slowly made her way over to him.

"Xander can we talk for a second?" Jesse asked as she sat next to him on the couch.

"Sure." Xander replied as he put down his playing cards.(he was playing solitarie.)

"I need to go into town and get some supplies and..." she stopped herself and looked up into his face. "I want you to come with me."

"Ok. just let me tell Buff..."

"No. I just want me and you to go." she said only for him to look at her funny.

"Look it'll be light out soon. Plus the First said it'll give us a full day to prepare ourselves." she said hoping he would come with her. In actuallity she really wanted to spend time with her father while he was young. Growing up, she had alot of happy memories with her father, until the first came of course.

Xander looked at her for a few seconds and then stood up. "Ok, just let me grab a jacket and then we'll leave."

An hour later after breaking into the mall (that's where she got the amulets) they quickly made it to Xander's car.

"Ok are we done yet?" Xander asked as he put the last of the bags in his car. Before she could answer, a black limo pulled up. Sensing a demonic presense inside, Jesse reached for her shotgun. As the door opened Xander saw the last person he ever thought he would see.

"Deadboy?" Xanderasked through gritted teeth. Angel just looked at the young man before him for a second. Then he realized who it was. Gone was the scrawny little teen boy, who was a pain in his ass. Now stood before him was a man. A man with an eyepatch.

"Xander?" Angel asked as he stepped forward. "What the hell happened to you?" Angel asked referring to his eye patch. 'I knew that boy would get in trouble one day.' Angel thought to himself.

"Don't worry about me Captain Hairgel." Xander growled touching his eyepatch for a second. "Now what the hell are you doing here?"

Angel allowed himself a smile. He's still the same pain in the ass, Angel thought bitterly.

"I heard you guys have your share of distress. So I'm here to help."

"Listen Deadboy we don't need..."

"Actually we do." Jesse cut in. "Xander I need you to trust me on this one okay."

Xander looked from Angel to Jesse and sighed. "Ok."

After getting in the limo with Angel (Xander was trailing them in his own car) Jesse explained everything to Angel. (except the part about her being from the future).

"So The First is back?" Angel asked digging into his pocket and pulling outan amulet.

"Yeah now listen I have a plan. But first I need you to take us to the vineyard."

"You mean where the bad guys are?" Angel asked.

"Exactly. I need to do a little recon." she replied. Angel looked at her for a moment not liking the idea but nodded anyway. Giving the driver a few directions they set off to the vineyard.

Jesse climbed to the roof of the vineyard to spy on the First (she stole a bugging device from the spy shop at the mall) leaving Angel and Xander as lookouts on the ground. After a few minutes of silence from the two, Xander decided to break the ice.

"So Deadboy how's Cordy?" Xander asked in a whisper. To Xander's surprise the vampire looked at him as if he were going to cry.

"Xander there's something you should know..." Angel started, but was cut off as Jesse jumped down in front of him.

"Guys we have a big problem." Jesse said wide eyed. "When the First staged the attack on the house with those zombies, she had the bringers put a bomb on the house."

"What!" Xander almost screamed. "Let's go to the house and get everyone out."

"No..."

"What!" Xander said again a little louder.

"Damnit Xander be quiet. Do you want to get us killed?" Angel asked.

"Just calm down Xander and listen to me." Jesse started. "We can use this to our advantage. The bomb isn't supposed to go off until later today. But..." Jesse said looking over at Angel.

"I'm going to need your help."

Xander opened his mouth to protest until Jesse glared at him. Closing his mouth he listened to her plan. After the three parted way's, Angel got into his limo and dialed a familiar number on his cell phone.

"Yeah, Wes This is Angel. Listen get the team together and head over to Sunnydale. Yeah it's another apocolypse." Angel said with a grin as he hung up the phone.

Skip to right before the explosion at Buffy's house

Coming back to Sunnydale brought about fond and not so fond memories for Wes, as he and the others reached Buffy's home.

"You guys stay here. I'll be back." Wes said to Angel and Gunn (it was the middle of the day so Angel had to stay in the car).

"Sure English, hog all the credit." Gunn said as he looked at the Englishman. Wes just shook his head and grinned as he closed the door.As he walked up to the door he heard a beeping sound. Closing his eyes he listened to the sound and determined that it was coming from behind the house.

As he turned the corner he looked in the small kitchen window and saw Buffy and a lot of girls.

"So those must be the potentials." Wes muttered as his foot hit something. Looking down he saw the timer for the bomb.

"Bloody Hell!" Wes said as the timer read five seconds. Reaching into his jacket pocket he pulled out an orange crystal and kicked down the back kitchen door.

"Release!" Wes shouted raising the stone . As soon as the word left his mouth the room filled with a orange light, then the house exploded.

As some of the dust settled the kitchen and the people in it were shown intact.

"Come on everyone, go outside." Wes said still holding up the stone. "This spell will only last for a few more seconds."

With that said the entire group piled out of the kitchen. Spike grabbed a blanket and made a mad dash for the door. As Wes himself stepped out of the room and lowered the stone, the kitchen fell to pieces and burned.

"What took you so long Wes?" Jesse asked. "Another few seconds and we would have been toast."

"I apologize." Wes replied with a sheepish grin.

"W...Wesley?" Buffy asked finally taking a good look at the man before her.

"Yes Miss Summers it's me." Wes said as the two hugged.

"Damn you look good..." Buffy blurted out. Then her eyes went wide once she realized what she said. "I...I mean..."

"You look good as well, Miss Summers." Wes replied with a smile as the two broke there hug.

"You've changed a great deal, Wesley." Giles said with a grin.

"Like wise." he said as the two shook hands.

"Not to put a damper on the reunion mate..." Spike said from under his blanket. "but a bloke can burn to death out 'ere." Spike screamed as part of his skin was exposed to the sun. Making his flesh sizzle.

Wes looked over at him for a second. Then he realized who it was.

"Spike?"

"I'll explain later Wes..." Buffy said grabbing the Englishman's arm, before any trouble got started. "Let's just go."

As the group made it in front of the house, they saw a green skinned demonina shockingly bright yellow suit,with his arm around a young woman.

"Demon!" one of the girls shouted as they started to run towards it. Only for Faith to stop her.

"Let me handle him." she said as she walked up to the demon. All the girls were stunned when Faith enveloped him in a hug.

"Hey Green bean." Faith greeted as she broke their hug. "What the hell are you guys doing here?"

"We're here to save the day, princess." Lorne replied. "And you must be Buffy?" Lorne asked, as the girl in question walked up to him, with a murderous look on his face. The look however didn't go unnoticed.

"It's cool Buffy. He's a part of Angel's team." Faith explained. With this knowledge, Buffy and the others phisically relaxed.

"I'm still burning up 'ere people!" Spike called out.

"Oh sorry." Fred apologized.

"We'll do introduction's later." Gunn called out as he got out of the limo. "But we need to be heading out."

With that Spike ran for the safety of the limo. As he got in he looked over at the last person he ever wanted to see.

"Peaches?"
