Disclaimer: I don't own any of the characters in this story except for the ones I may make up.
Summary: When Angel is split in two and Angelus joins forces with The Immortal and they only have two things on their mind, the end of the world and…Buffy. Angel is soon to realize what trouble he's really in.
Authors Notes: I'm not sure where this flick goes into the Angel series. But Angel, Gunn, Wesley, Corderlia, Fred, Lorne and Connor are all in it and of course Buffy and maybe some of the Scooby Gang. And also Buffy and the Scooby gang are still in Rome and Buffy has dated the Immortal. This is my first story so, enjoy.

Previously in The Worst Is Yet To Come"If your trying to break her, you're going the wrong way about it," Darla said to Angelus
"How so?"
"Its all about the connection, She loves
Angel, its obvious, if you want her to be

The Immortal smiled and paid the lady at the counter, as he was about to begin towards the door he stopped and turned "You wouldn't happen to have any powerful love spells by any chance?"
"Let me just check" She turned towards her computer and typed for a few seconds "Yeah we have a few actually" She came from behind the counter and signaled for the girl to follow him "There's this one we just got in last week, works wonder, although there are some side effects…"
"I'll take it"
000
"Did she tell you about the whole Angelus thing" Connor asked as Angel raised an eyebrow at him.
"What's there to tell?"
"I don't know, what happened between them, why she kissed him"
"She kissed him?"
000
Lindsey looked at Lilah then back to Angel "Well the real reason we're actually here is to collect a little more then information"
"We want the girl"
Angel was quick to reply, "Not going to happen"000
Angel reached for the necklace and began to pull it around Buffy's neck so that he could reach the lever holding it together. As the glow became more vibrant Angel attempted to unlock the lever. In the first go it separated easily. Angel took it from around Buffy's neck and held it in his hand.
"Well that wasn't so hard"
Angel placed the necklace onto the dresser next to the bed and stood up from the bed. He glanced down at Buffy checking to see if she was ok. Before exiting the room, not even realizing the glow upon his hand.
CHAPTER TWELEVEThe Immortal placed the spell book down onto the table as he took in a deep breath.
"Well that was interesting"
The Immortal wasn't exactly sure if the spell had worked perfectly, but he did feel something happening when he pursued with the spell, so it must have worked. Or didn't it?

Night had fallen when Fred and Gunn arrived back at the Hyperion well and rested. Angel had fallen asleep in one of the spare rooms, while Corderlia, Wesley, Willow, Xander and Connor had all been researching a reversal spell for the Angel, Angelus split.
"Evening guys" Both Fred and Gunn said in unison
"What? Huh? What?" Corderlia jumped out of her daze from the book she was reading.
"Coffee Cordy?" Gunn asked under his grin
"Aha" Corderlia than laid her head back down on the book
"So where's Angel?" Fred asked as she joined the others in the lounge with Gunn
"Upstairs, asleep" Wesley replied
Connor closed his book and stood up from his seat "I'm going to go check on Buffy, since dads asleep"
The group nodded as Connor ascended the stairs.

Buffy awoke in Angel's room as she heard Connor enter the room.
"Hey Buffy"
Buffy looked up at Connor as she pattered down her hair "Hey"
"Feeling rejuvenated?"
"Very much so, yeah. Listen I really need to go see someone." Buffy moved from the bed and began to rummage through a bag of clothes willow had given to her "Can you keep them all busy for a while till I get back?"
"Where are you going?"
"Just" Buffy stared at him for a moment "keep them busy"
Connor thought for a second until going along with what Buffy was saying "Sure" he then quickly exited the room, leaving Buffy to change and escape the Hyperion.

Angelus, Darla, Drusilla and Spike were all back at their Mansion as The Immortal walked into the room.
"Morty, now where have you been? We were afraid you might have been captured" Drusilla asked
"No we weren't" Spike laughed as he rapped an arm around Drusilla.
"So what have you been doing?" Angelus asked suspiciously
"Just preparing for the ritual, are you ready?"
"Oh yeah, change of plan there, we're not going to be doing the spell anymore, plus Buffy and Connor escaped"
"They did?"
"Yeah, soul boy took them"
"We can still get them and begin the ritual…"
"Why are you so dedicated to this ritual, I'm starting to become a little suspicious of you"
"No I just did this preparation…"
"Sure you did" Angelus looked to Darla as she continued to explain their new plan of action.
"We're going to kidnap Angel" both Drusilla and Darla smiled and laughed as a confused look came across The Immortal's face.
"Why?"
"Never you mind" Angelus stood up from his seat and walked to The Immortal "look I know how helpful your wanting to be here, but I just don't trust you enough for you to continue on with us"
"That's ridiculous, if we work together…"
"Here's the thing Morty I'm not one for teamwork"
"Then why are you…."
"These guys are an exception, but you, well I don't like people that try and hit on my girl…"
"Your girl? Buffy has always been mine, and will be soon"
Rage crossed Angelus's face as he grabbed hold of The Immortal's jacket "What. Do. You. Mean?"
"Ohhhh Morty" a new voice entered the room as the group looked towards the entrance.
"Buffy" The Immortal whispered
A grin crossed Angelus's face. "Switching sides now are we?"
"You wish" Buffy replied coldly
"Have you come to play" Drusilla asked with excitement clapping her hands together
"Fortunately not" Buffy held up an axe and swung it around in front of her "For some reason, unbeknownst to me I have this certain urge to" she looked directly into the Immortal's eyes "repay you for kidnapping me" Buffy smiled wickedly as she charged for The Immortal.
Angelus was quick to back off letting the slayer do her work, whilst the others stared on. The Immortal first blocked Buffy's attack grabbing her arms and holding them close to him.
"What the hell are you doing your suppose to love me, the spell…" the Immortal began but was cut off by Buffy cold words.
"Guessing it backfired" she then spun out of his grasp and swung the axe above her head. In one quick movement the Immortal was beheaded. Buffy stared at her fallen ex as she walked back to the entrance.
"Thanks for having me"
The group all stared after her as she disappeared from the room.
"Well that was bloody interesting" Spike said as in looked at the door, Drusilla and Darla both nodded.
Angelus just smiled "She's almost ready"

Lindsey and Lilah both entered the senior partners offices and took a seat at the desk. A clocked figure sat on the opposite side of the desk.
"Did you speak to the souled vampire?"
"We did. He would not allow us to take the girl" Lilah replied
"Did you speak of the consequences?"
"Yes. He still refused" Lindsey replied
"You do realize that she is the only way for us to begin the apocalypse"
"We do" they spoke in unison
"Do what you need to get her, take a million men if you have to just, DON'T FAIL!"
"Yes sir" they both replied quietly and quickly exited the room.
After the door closed behind them they continued down a long dark corridor, which was lit by candlelight.
"What now" Lilah asked
"Well we need a plan"
"Indeed, unless we should wait until she reaches breaking point then she'll be ready for the apocalypse"
"You believe we should watch Angelus's plans unfold first"
"It could be better than the Friday night movie"
"I would expect so"
"But I hate being the last ones to intervene"
"Oh don't worry we'll find a way to guest star"
"And what an appearance it will be"

Buffy partially climbed back through the window of the Hyperion. She checked that the coast was clear before going all the way into the room. Buffy stood up and dusted herself down before continuing out of the room and going downstairs.
The group stared up at Buffy as she reached the bottom of the staircase.
"Hey Buffy, sleep well?" Xander asked
"Yeah, fine," Buffy said as she glanced over at Connor who returned her glance suspiciously. "So guys, what have we found out anything?"
Angel walked closer to the group from the corner he was silently standing in. "Where've you been?"
"Excuse me?" Buffy replied as she clasped her hands together nervously.
"I checked your room before, you were gone"
"Probably just in the bathroom"
"Yeah…right"
"Are you trying to check up on me?"
"Yes"
Buffy titled her head sideways, looking straight at Angel "I just went out quickly" Buffy quickly looked at the group "I found the Immortal…"
"WHAT!" the group replied
"What happened" Willow asked
"I decapitated him," Buffy said casually
"You what!" Angel came closer to her "How could you do that, he's the Immortal"
"What's your problem Angel, we needed him gone, and this is good for us. Anyway I didn't care for him…"
"He was the greatest"
Buffy looked at him shocked at his comments "Angel, I'm really not getting you, are you saying you wanted him to join us or something…"
"No, but I didn't want him defeated. The Immortal has been around for century's he's the noblest man…"
"Noble? Oh come on, there's nothing near to noble in him…"
"Take that back" Angel and Buffy were now face to face.
"I don't think so"
"You guys stop" Willow spoke, but neither of them took notice.
"Take it back, you cannot speak about him like…"
Buffy struck out and punched Angel across the face "Get over it Angel, I hated the Immortal its fantastic that he's gone…"
Angel mirrored Buffy's movements striking her back across her face "You killed him, and he's human"
"Human? HE'S IMMORTAL"
"Still human"
"Yeah like a human can live forever," Buffy replied sarcastically as she once again punched Angel in the face. Angel was quick to retaliate knocking her in the side. Buffy then kicked Angel in the stomach. "You know what?"
"What?" Angel said with venom as he through Buffy across the room and into the wall. As he walked towards her, Wesley was the one to yell out to them.
"Buffy, Angel, I don't know what's going on here but your both being quite, bizarre"
They both ignored the comment and Buffy stood up from the ground and leant up against the wall.
"I reckon you've been planning on swapping sides this whole time" Buffy said as she once again struck out at Angel.
"Me swapping sides, what about you, I'm not the one who just killed a human"
"He wasn't human," she yelled as they both charged at each other exchanging blows left, right and center.
"We've got to stop them," Connor said urgently
"I'm really not sure how…" Xander was interrupted as Willow spoke
"SEPARATE" A flash came from Willows hands separating Angel and Buffy and pinning them both with shackles to the opposite walls.
The group looked in shocked, as Gunn was the one to break the silence "Way to go, Red"
"Willow kept a straight face and replied to the group "There under a spell, I can feel it"
"I'm guessing it has something to do with the Immortal" Corderlia said as she stared at the two warriors.
"Yeah but now that he's gone, how do we find out…" Fred was interrupted by Willow
"I don't know. I'm guessing we just need to work out what could have been used as an anchor:"
"An anchor?" Wesley asked
"Yeah, in a spell you need something to put the spell onto, to use as a base"
"Like a cake?" Xander asked
"Umm yeah, well sort of. We just need to…"
"Willow would you mind getting me down from here" Buffy asked nicely "I'm not the crazy one"
"And what you think I am?" Angel said from the other side of the room
"Yes"
"Guys stop!" Corderlia yelled.
The two both turned to look at her and yelled together. "STAY OUT OF IT CORDY"
Willow turned to the group "Ok, I think we need to find out what the anchor is and destroy it, before this whole situation gets out of hand"
"Well, well, well. You guys have certainly come up with a good strategy to stop the bad guys." Lilah said as she and Lindsey both entered the Hyperion.
Lindsey stood next to Lilah "Chaining up your only warriors usually works well"
"What do you want?" Wesley asked
Lilah smiled "Were just here to make Angel a second offer, well repeat the first one more convincingly"
"Get out" Willow said darkly as she attempted a spell on the intruders
"Sorry, spells don't work on us" Lindsey smirked
They both continued closer to Angel and Lilah took out a piece of paper from her folder.
"What is that?" Angel asked
"A contract" Lilah said as she held it up in front of him as Lindsey continued
"We will give you all the resources you need, as well as some extra members to your so called army. Just willingly sign this, and hand the girl over. She will them be ours, binding her and her soul to us"
"Deal" Angel replied coldly staring up at Buffy
"Look Angel you need to do this, think of how it will help you, you have to agree…hang on did you just say deal?"
"Angel you can't possibly…"
"Quiet Wes" Angel told Wesley as he stared down at the contract "How does this work?"
"Sign the contract and we will then the slayer over there will belong to us"
"Angel can't sign me over, he doesn't even own me in the first place" Buffy yelled from her position on the wall.
"I think your forgetting those bite marks on your neck, he branded you over four years ago" Lindsey said as he brought a pen out from his pocket
"If Angel owns me from a bite mark, then your going to need the Master's, oh and Dracula's signature too. And if I remember correctly the last time I saw the Master, I was grinding his bones with a sledgehammer"
"The Master, no longer exists we do not need his signature. As for Dracula, he's branded millions of girls I'm sure one off his list is not going to bother him"
Buffy eyed them darkly as the struggled with the shackles on the wall.
"Were do I sign?" Angel asked as he looked down once again at the contract.
"I believe he can't, if you haven't noticed he's hands are clamped to the wall," Xander said
"We don't need a signature" Lilah put the contract under Angel's hand as Lindsey handed Lilah the pen. She stabbed as Angel hard as he let out gasp, his blood dripped down onto the paper. The paper glowed for a moment before lilah placed it back inside her folder.
She smiled at Angel "Nice doing business with you"
"No problem, as long as that Immortal killer, is out of my sight"
"Angel you can't do this" Corderlia said "Your crazy"
"It's already done" Lindsey said as the two of them walked over to Buffy but were stopped by Connor who stood in their way.
"How cute, he wants to protect her"
"Not just him" Willow said as she moved her hand another glow came from it and suddenly more shackles pinned Buffy tighter to the wall "She's not going anywhere"
Lindsey and Lilah both stared at the witch "Fine protect her know, but she does belong to us. When the time comes she will be no help to you, only to us" They both glanced at the members in the room before exiting the Hyperion once again.
The group just stood in silence as they looked at each other in shock.
