Previously in "the very last, probably, apocalypse"...
Angel attacked the earthly body of Wolfram and Hart by taking out the key members of a group known as the black thorn. His attempts however merely succeeded in annoying the senior partners. In retaliation they sent an army to deal with him, Spike, Gunn and Illyria.
Before the army could destroy our heroes, a certain girl arrived to save the day with an army of her own.
The senior partners, realising the world was sufficiently corrupted, released Draven, the strongest of the old ones, to bring about the final apocalypse, the one where the world will return to the old ones control.
Draven released the creature known simply as Fear, a being created by the senior partners to destroy Angel if he moved against them. He then proceeded to create an embodiment of Death.
Angel had for the past five years been working towards fulfilling a prophecy which stated the vampire with a soul will earn a reward of becoming human again.
Although Angel had signed his part in the prophecy away, Spike could still fulfil it. Knowing this Draven reanimated the corpse of his son, Lindsey Macdonald, to take care of the vampire.
Lindsey attacked Connor and Spike After killing Spike, Lindsey was beaten by Connor. Connor captured Lindsey and took him back to his fathers.
Connor met up with his family again, heading to The Deeper Well with Angel, Buffy and Giles. It was here they discovered that the Immortal, the man who Buffy had been dating for the past few months, was up to something of his own design.
Back in L.A., The Immortal crucified Wood, injured most of the slayers, leaving a paralysed Xander, a badly hurt Faith and an injured Illyria in his wake. He took with him Lindsey, who was fast deteriorating.
While the gang geared up to fight Draven one last time, his plan became obvious to one person; Wesley Wyndam-Pryce, keeper of the Deeper Well. His plan was to use the Key, or Dawn Summers, as a means to restructure the world in such a way that the Old Ones could return. In response, Wesley made a deal with Lilah Morgan for the return of Spike. Clearly under the influence of something, Wesley removed Spike's "Spark" and double crossed Lilah.
Willow, who had travelled to Rome in an attempt to find Dawn and Kennedy, found only her death in their place. Being Summoned to Draven as a ghost, Willow was forced to summon Buffy and Angel to Draven's Final victory over humanity.
As Draven was about to attack, The Immortal appeared, creating a barrier around himself, and Lindsey and Dawn, just as Wesley returns to the fold…
Chapter Fifteen: When The Bell Strikes Thirteen…"Wesley?" Angel asked, a little bewildered that his former friend was here.
Giles looked up to see the former watcher. "What's going on!" He yelled.
Wesley looked straight up to where the Immortal, Lindsey and Dawn were positioned.
The Immortal glared back at the new player. "I'll tell you what's going on," He yelled at the group. "I'm doing what I was meant to do, what I was born to do!"
Buffy looked up at the man who had once been her lover, and then quickly down to the demon she had come to fight.
Draven looked at her, and back at the Immortal. "What are you doing filth!" He had rage in his voice.
"Why, exactly what you were planning on doing;" The Immortal paused and looked at the ensemble. "I'm rebuilding the world, only my way!"
"You can't do that, and you know it," Draven was calm as he told him.
"Yes he can," Wesley interrupted.
Draven span, to address this new entrant to the game.
"He's got your spawn," Wesley looked to Angel. "His son, Lindsey…"
"Lindsey!" Angel was shocked. "But he told me about his father, he told me he was a normal man…"
"It's probable he didn't know Draven was his father," Wesley explained.
"It's definite!" Yelled Draven.
Angel looked at Wesley. "How can he 'rebuild' the world? I don't understand Wes,"
"Dawn is the key, that we already know." Wesley shouted to Angel.
Buffy looked up at her sister. "But she doesn't do anything any more, Glory-"
"Glory was trying to use the key, not for what it was intended, but for what she thought it was for." Wesley yelled at her before she could finish.
"So what is she actually for Wes?" Angel called.
Wesley looked at the Immortal, who was over seeing this exchange of words. "Dawn is the Key to reality. She can, as Glory believed, be used to rip down the walls of reality. But her real purpose is to re-shape reality,"
The Immortal let out a smile. "Well done that man,"
Buffy looked up. "But if it has to be Draven who uses her, then you'll have no more luck than Glory. You're just going to rip apart the dimensions…"
Wesley shook his head. "That's why Lindsey is there. Draven re-animated him to serve his purpose, however the Immortal is figuring that he can use Lindsey as a sort of middle man,"
Willow looked confused, even in her new ghostly form. "But how can he control what Lindsey re-shapes the world as?"
"Since he returned, Lindsey has been deteriorating, slowly, but surely, his mind has been falling apart, and the Immortal has used this to his advantage…" Wesley trailed off.
"How do you know this Wesley?" Giles asked, very puzzled by the ex-watcher's knowledge.
Wesley let out a sob. It was hard containing himself at the best of times, but around those he considered friends was near impossible. "A deal with the devil, for lack of a better word…"
"What do you mean Wes?" Angel asked, "Who did you make a deal with?"
Wesley looked beyond his former comrade, just behind Angel. He could see Fred. His Fred, before Illyria had taken her for its host. She was smiling at Wesley.
"It's never the same… It always changes who it looks like…" Wesley muttered.
Buffy's eyes went wide. "The First?"
"Dear lord…" Giles gasped as he said these words.
"Wes, you made a deal with the first evil?" Angel was practically yelling.
Wesley looked at the image of Fred. She looked cross with him, but in that way where he knew he hadn't done anything that was going to get him in any real trouble.
"What were you thinking?" Buffy shrieked.
Wesley focussed on the group in front of him. "I have a mission… I am sent by God, or whatever it is that we fight for… I don't have to explain my actions to you…"
"When did you go all righteous crazy man?" Buffy retorted. "You sound like its last lacky, you sound like Caleb…"
Wesley looked at her, pain in his eyes. "I know what I'm doing Buffy" As the gang stared him down, he looked each one in turn in the eyes. "Trust me"
"It's no good watcher, you can't do anything…" The Immortal yelled at Wesley. "The process has begun!"
The Immortals face lit up as Lindsey moved closer to Dawn. As he did so, Dawn began to glow. A bright green energy erupted from within her, and as Lindsey placed his hands in hers, she screamed. Her body contorted, it ripped, and finally broke. As it fell to the floor, two different coloured orbs of energy emerged. One, white in colour, flew directly into Buffy, ending her screams for her sister. She hit the floor. The Second energy ball was a bright green colour, and just as Dawn had, Lindsey's body contorted, ripped and finally broke, releasing a navy blue orb of energy. As the two energy bodies merged, the Immortal cupped the resulting orb in both hands and began his work.
Wesley closed his eyes and muttered an incantation. A portal opened above them, and through it fell Spike. His battered and bruised body landed on the concrete next to Buffy. Wesley opened his eyes, and looked at his friends. Angel looked back at him.
"Wes?" He asked.
"If I can't save you, I'm sorry…" Wesley told him in a silent, firm voice. "I'll make this right. All of it"
And with that Wesley pulled out the vile with Spike's soul in and jumped at the energy barrier. Just as the white energy released from Had passed through the barrier, Wesley easily glided through the energy field, with Spike's soul leading the way. As he landed, he looked at the Immortal, who was oblivious to this event.
"Looks like I'm your Able" he muttered as he placed his hands around the Immortal's. The Immortal's eyes opened.
"What are you-" He was cut off.
"Helping you re-build this world" Wesley smiled as he told him.
A wave of energy expanded over the immediate area, and further, throughout the city, throughout the country, until the world was enveloped, and nothing would be the same again…
