This is a story much darker than the series Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and their is not much light humor like in the series. It is also less Soap Opera-ish

It's been 10 years since that day. The day the world was almost destroyed by a force none could have foreseen.

A good witch tortured by grief threatened the mortal world. And who could have blamed her. In the end, the day was won. The world was safe once again. But it didn't last long.

Ever since then things have been bad, wrong, dark. Two years later Dawn, my sister, was tortured and killed by a surviving band of demons from years ago. The worshipers of a defeated foe, a hell god, struck back with a vengeance and took away my reason for living.

But I am still alive. Which is more than I can say for the world around us. The demon underworld was eventually exposed to the mortal world. People fear what they do not understand, and this was far beyond human comprehension. That's when the panic and riots started. The world was chaos, and still is.

With no one to turn to, and unable to control it's own project, the government began to fund and supply the watcher's council. Trained demon hunters were put at the disposal of the council. Under a contract and salary, me and mine once again joined the watcher's council once again.

As for my friends, they each began to get more experienced in their personal fields. Giles is again my watcher, advisor and mentor as he always was in my heart. A direct representative of the watchers council in the team. Xander became more experienced with new technology and weapons provided by the government and the council as well as military strategies. Willow has recovered from her past experiences but still retains her power. She is now one of the most powerful witches in the councils personal coven.

After the riot of 2008 in Los Angeles, most of Angel Investigations' team was dead. Angel and Cordelia survived. They both returned to Sunnydale to rejoin the battle on another front. Angel has once again my strongest ally in this never ending war. Cordelia, known to the demon world as the prophetess because of her visions, has become a key political figure. A direct link to the higher powers. A hefty bounty has been set upon her head in the demon underworld.

Spike also gifted with a soul, has become an important warrior for the side of good, although he retains much of his loner attitude. Anya or now Anyanka, has become an elder in the Arashmaharr clan of vengeance demons, along with D'hoffryn. Her emotional ties to my team have not yet ended.

Bloodfeuds between families of demons have broken out all over the world for control of territory and leadership. Demon clans have arisen and begun to war with one another. The world was chaos, but all this was soon accepted.

A wise man once said "what's past is prologue." I know what he means now. Because things are far from over, and a new evil rises as we speak.

God help us.
