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.

In the water, Angel was tackling Buffy. Buffy was throwing punches at him left, right and center but it wouldn't slow him down. Buffy wasn't at her best and Angel was the one who could take her down.

"Give up" Angel said as he punched her across the face.

"No" Buffy breathed as she put her hand up to block his next blow but he just pushed her back and punched her again.

"Ask for my help"

"I won't. I don't even have a soul"

"Yes you do. Fight the darkness Buffy"

"I can't" Buffy said softly as she tried hard to breathe. "This is who I am"

"No it's not. If you can't see it then I can't wait for you to remember. I have a world to save. And you're the bad guy" Angel then delivered another deadly blow to her head.

Chapter Nineteen

"Willow how's that spell going" Xander yelled as the entire circle held the demons off from Willow.

"I've nearly got it. Aruba novas pa la fin. Ok done"

They all waited a brief moment for the hole to close and demons to disappear but nothing happened.

"Are Will, why isn't everything evil disappearing?"

"I don't… wait" Willow looked down at the spell book "It's not just a witch that's needed to stop this apocalypse" Willow looked over to see Angel drag Buffy up onto the harbor, both of them soaking with water. "We need Buffy"

"Buffy? How the hell are we meant to get her to help?" Spike demanded

"Do we need her blood or what?" Gunn asked

"I don't know"

"Then what?"

"I DON'T KNOW" Willow yelled as a herd of demons barged into them splitting the circle and forcing them all to fight.

Buffy slowly rose from the ground as Angel stood looking down at her.

"What are you going to do now?" Angel said as he stamped a foot on her back keeping her in her position on the ground.

"Ahh"

"Come on Buffy get up" Angel demanded

"I would if you'd get your foot off me"

"Oh but the real Buffy Summers would be able to get out of this easy"

"You're really starting to tick me off" Buffy suddenly turned under his foot and quickly pulled herself up from the ground. Buffy then charged straight for him. She packed a punch to his face, which he easily blocked. But she kept on coming at him again and again. Getting in a few kicks and punches here and there.

"Do you want to know why you can't win Buffy?"

Buffy just smirked at him.

"It's because you were born to be a hero and save the world. Not destroy it. That's why your powers will not side with you in this fight"

Buffy paused for a brief second and let what Angel had just said set in. "But he said that this was what I was meant to be" Buffy said quietly as she took in large breaths of air.

"Who said that?" Angel asked with curiosity

"The man in the darkness, he said…"

"He was wrong."

"No Buffy, he wasn't" A voice came from behind. Angel quickly looked up only see Lilah and Lindsey standing a few feet away from them. "He gave you all that power Buffy. For someone that gave you so much how can he be that's against you."

Buffy looked over at Lindsey.

Lilah smiled "From where I'm standing it looks like Angel's the one who's against you. Get rid of him. Finish the ritual"

Buffy stood in the middle looking from Angel to Lilah and Lindsey. Her frustration and confusion growing.

"Don't listen to them Buffy. You can stop this right now" Angel pleaded with her.

"Screw this" Lilah said as she picked up Buffy's spell book and began to finish the ritual. Buffy shook her head "No" and started to run over to Lilah.

"Buffy"

Buffy stopped dead in her tracks and looked over at Lindsey to see him holding a small round glowing orb in his hand. "Come to me" Buffy's eyes were glued to the orb as she walked over to Lindsey.

"Buffy No!" Angel yelled but she took no notice of him "You, you did this. Give me the orb" Angel yelled to Lindsey.

"No can do Angel. Not before the show begins"

Angel looked over to Lilah only to hear her speak the final words of the ritual "Dammit"

A huge whirlwind began around the hole as Lilah scrambled back to stand next to Lindsey and Buffy. The demons all disappeared, as the wind grew larger. The fang gang as well as Angelus and his lot and Willow and Xander. All stood around the growing wind. But just as they thought nothing else would happen. What looked like black smoke came out.

"What the bloody hell" Spike yelled over the noise.

Angel took his eyes away from the sight only to see Lindsey signaling Buffy to move toward the whirlwind. Angelus saw this too and looked over to Angel.

"Smash the orb!" Angel didn't need to be told twice he knocked the orb from Lindsey's hand. But didn't smash it. "Smash it!" Angel yelled again. As the black like smoke began to form into a large figure in the sky.

"It's her soul" Angelus called back to him with a smirk as he looked at Buffy, the black figure coming closer to her. "Why would I give it back?"

"She's no use to you dead"

Angelus thought about it for a second 'He's right, I'll get her when she's got a soul' Angelus thought to him self as he smashed the orb. A bright light sped from the broken glass straight into Buffy

Buffy began to look around her blinking and wobbling around on the spot "What's happening…" Buffy said quietly as she heard a voice scream at her to get back but only to late to realize a black figure stand in front of her surging electric waves through her until everything went black and she fell to the ground

Angel along with everyone else near saw what had just happened as the whirlwind disappeared and the black figure came towards the rest of them. "He regenerated himself." Angel looked to Lindsey "That's why you needed her. A slayer's power would give him the power to come forth"

Lindsey smiled "Get ready for the end of the world Angel, it's going to be big"

"I don't think so" Willow said as she conjured up a fireball that plummeted straight into the black figure. Resulting in it disappearing within seconds.

"Geez Red, why didn't you just do that before?" Spike yelled

"I told you before we needed Buffy. Buffy and her soul on our side to even out the odds"

"Magics so bloody confusing"

"What! Nothing was able to…damn" Lindsey growled as he watched in disbelief as the black figure vanished.

The ground began to shake as the whirlwind picked up again swallowing anything in it's path back into the hole.

The group all began to scurry away from the sight. Connor looked over to the hole to see Buffy laying right in it's destruction path. "Dad!"

Angel looked to his son and nodded seeing Buffy in the distance. Angel ran over to her and through her over his shoulder. Carrying her to safety.

Back at the Hyperion

The group all sat around the lounge some patching up any of their wounds. Angel however sat upstairs in his room watching over Buffy as she slowly began to open her eyes.

"Hey there, how you feeling?"

"Like I've been in a around the world marathon" Buffy croaked

Angel laughed "Yeah I'd be feeling like that too, if I was in your position"

"I'm really sorry"

"Hey it wasn't your fault I should never of given up your soul…"

"You were under a spell"

"As were you"

Buffy smiled and searched the room for a moment "How's everyone doing"

"There fine"

"What about Lilah and Lindsey?"

"Gone"

"Angelus?"

"Them too. Wesley looked into more ways of reverting that spell that he accidently used to split Angelus and I up. But we couldn't find anything. As far as we know I'm free from Angelus"

"Hmm" Buffy smiled "Free from Angelus means free from the curse, yes?"

"It would appear that way yes"

"How interesting"

"Very" Angel leaned down and captured Buffy in a passionate kiss. Buffy was the one to pull away first "What happens when Angelus comes back?"

"We'll deal with that when we come to it, as far as I know nothing will happen to me if we kill him" Angel laughed

"Good, I don't want anything happening to my boyfriend"

"Oh so I'm your boyfriend now?"

"Aha, I just came out of the oven"

"Well that must mean that you're moving back to the states"

"Sure does, that is as soon as I get all my strength back" Buffy giggled as Angel pulled Buffy into his arms and kissed her once again. "I love you"

"I love you too, forever"
