December 1999
Sunnydale, California

Buffy looked to the ground in shock and awe as she digested the breaking news. Not even a full week went by when she first found out about the vampire Jamsal. Doyle, Wesley, and Giles all looked at the slayer with sympathetic eyes, knowing that her duty once again called upon her. Cordelia retreaded to the kitchen and looked around for a glass to fill with water for the blonde slayer. Once she found it, she came back out to find Buffy sitting on the coach with Angel by her side. She bent down and silently handed the glass to Buffy.

Buffy didn't register Cordy's strange actions, but gratefully took the glass and started drinking the water. She looked around at the dark vampire and saw healing scars on his forehead and frowned a bit. She gently raised her hand up and brushed a small scar over his left eyebrow. Once Angel felt the gentle touch from his love, he closed his eyes and purred like a big cat. Giles was astounded at the sound. He heard that vampires could purr when they felt safe and content, but seeing it was much different.

Buffy put her hand down and looked at Angel in the eyes and saw the determination to help her anyway he could. She smiled gratefully, then looked around the room. Gathering her courage, she stood up and looked back to Angel with one question in her eyes. "Have you faced him yet?"

Angel solemnly nodded and looked outside as he recalled the events of the last week and from what happened 154 years ago in London. He stayed silent for so long that everyone thought that he wasn't to answer. He turned around and his eyes took on a faraway look that everyone knew that it was before their time.

"I first met him in London, 1845…"

*Flashback*

London, 1845

Angelus stayed in the room silently pondering what Darla just told him. He's about slayers beforehand from various demon dives and other vampires. All he's done is scoffed and never took any belief to the legend…till now. He silently noticed Darla fluttering around the room, but didn't make any move to go calm her down. He put his elbows on his knees and leaned forward and buried his face in his hands.

He didn't want to go out in the city with the news that a slayer is in London, but the curious part wanted to go and search for the young woman. Just so he can face her to test her strength. From what he gathered from Darla, the slayer came to London because he was here.

How the slayer knew that Angelus was in London, nobody knew. But the fighting part in the dark demon was itching for a challenge. But one thing was stopping him…. Darla. He had to get her out of the city for a few days, now he sat pondering how to do that.

A day later, his answer came in the form of anger. Darla found out of another indiscretion done by Angelus. She was furious and Angelus stirred the flames of jealousy which cause even more anger. After Darla laid out Angelus with sharp jab to his temple, she gathered her things and took off to another country. Sure he was in pain, but Angelus was glad his sire left, now he could cause chaos, but he really wanted to face the slayer.

The first night he stumbled upon her fighting a few vampires. He was shocked by the beauty of the slayer. Angelus heard that slayers were beautiful creatures, but to see one in front of him, exuding power was a sight to behold. He looked on from the shadows as she easily staked the vampires. She brushed herself off and looked around to see if any other vampires were around. Angelus' took a deep unneeded breath as he took in the slayers beautiful features. She was petite, standing only at 5'3 at the most 5'4 and had a tight, lithe body. Her hair was mix of dark brown, light brown, and blonde and Angelus, for some unknown reason, yearned to run his fingers through it. But the most noticeable features of the slayer were her eyes. They were a mix of hazel and blue that showed off her emotions.

Angelus shook his head to clear his thoughts and to refocus on his mission. He then noticed the slayer moving on and followed her to learn her patrol routes, her hideouts, and the location of her watcher. For the following two nights, Angelus stuck to the shadows and followed the beautiful slayer. He was drawn to her in a way that defied all odds, and he hated that! He hated that the slayer consumed his thoughts and that Darla wasn't around so he could indulge in her. He was quickly losing the need to kill the slayer and was content to let her live, just as long she didn't try to hunt him down.

He finally worked up the courage to talk to the slayer on the third night of following her, to tell her to leave the city and not follow him. Angelus planned on telling both her and her watcher, so he went to the watcher's house first. He noticed something wrong when the sweet smell of blood hit his sensitive nose. Angelus jogged up to the house and peaked inside as he noticed the laid out body of the watcher in the middle of the living room. He noticed the brutality of the attack because of the gruesome position of the watcher's broken arm and the nasty looking bite on his neck. Angelus stuck to the shadows as he noticed the slayer stirring from her corner of the room. Angelus was surprised because he didn't see her, but he glanced at her eyes and noticed the defeated expression in her eyes.

Angelus knew that was the look of a person that just gave up and had resigned to death, so Angelus had to follow her. For some odd reason, the dark demon didn't want the slayer to die, so he followed her to look out for her. As she left the house, Angelus stuck close by, but then lost her as she jogged down an alley.

He silently cursed to himself and then used his nose to catch her scent. Once finding it, he took off in all his supernatural speed to find her.

Angelus was stopped in his tracks as he stumbled upon the sight of a vampire in near equal height as he deliver a side kick to the slayer's chin, taking her down with the sheer power of the kick. The vampire stalked the down body of the slayer, not even growling or showing emotion. The slayer groggily got back up and took notice of the vampire looming over her. She flipped back up, but was still recovering from the surprising powerful kick. She was already tired from her previous fight with this vampire, so she instinctively knew this was her time as the vampire connected with a roundhouse kick.

The vampire kneeled down, vamped out, and then sunk his teeth into the slayers neck. He didn't bite down with the strength of how he killed her watcher, he was surprisingly gentle. The slayer never felt pain as her life ended, and the vampire laid her down gently. Angelus was curious and mad because of the way the vampire killed the slayer. Vampires were not gentle, so seeing this made him want to beat the younger vampire! Angelus marched out of his position in the shadows and stealthily walked up to the younger vampire. Unexpectedly, the younger vampire turned around and faced Angelus still vamped out. The younger vampire growled in warning to Angelus, which cause him to vamp out and growl right back.

After calming down, Angelus stayed vamped out as he took in the sight of the vampire. He turned his gaze levelly to the vampire's eyes and noticed that this wasn't a minion at all. This was a childe of a vampire. After taking all this is, Angelus narrowed his eyes at the young demon. "Who are you," he asked him.

"Jamsal and I know who you are… Angelus," Jamsal replied back with a fading Spanish accent.

Angelus motioned to the fallen slayer before he spoke, "What's with the gentleness?"

Jamsal looked down to the slayer and sighed silently and sadly, "She wanted peace already." He turned back to face Angelus, "So I gave her that." Feeling the conversation over, Jamsal turned his back to Angelus and started walking away.

Angelus took offense to the actions of Jamsal and sprinted up to him and spun him around. While gripping Jamsal's shoulder, Angelus leaned into the vampire's face and spoke coldly to his face, "Where ye think ye going boyo?!? We aren't finished with this conversation!"

Jamsal stayed silent, which cause Angelus to get even angrier. The dark demon backhanded Jamsal snapping his head back. Angelus returned his grip to Jamsal's shoulders, and Jamsal was finished. He kneed Angelus in the gut and Angelus fell to his knees in surprise and gasped in unneeded air. Jamsal then towered over Angelus and looked coldly to his eyes. "We are done."

Jamsal then kicked Angelus in the temple, knocking out the demon. Jamsal looked and just walked away from the scene, not knowing that another person just took in the scene. A few minutes later, Angelus woke up and stood up quickly with fire in his eyes, only to see that Jamsal left.

*End Flashback*

By the end of explaining his first encounter with Jamsal, Angel was looking out to the darkening sky and stood up. He took a deep breath then turned to the people gathered around and looked down to the ground. Right when he was about to speak, the front door flew open and the rest of the Scooby Gang came bounding in. Angel noticed that Oz wasn't there, but didn't say anything to the missing member.

Willow was worried when she didn't see Buffy around campus and trotted over to Xander's house to go over to Giles' house. After everything that happened the last week, mainly with Riley figuring out that Buffy was a slayer, she was still tired and wary about everything. Once they were outside Xander's house, leaving Spike sleeping still, walked to the former watcher's house.

As they approached Giles' house, they both saw an unfamiliar black beast of a car and frowned at each other. They were about to knock when they heard Angel's voice float through the window and turned wide eyed gazes to each other. Willow was shocked to hear the dark vampire back in town and was worried for Buffy because she barely started her relationship with Riley.

Xander marched right into the house, followed by a slightly pale Willow and glared at Angel, who glared right back in retaliation. "Dead boy, what brings you by? Another message of death? Impending doom? Or is it just to torment the Buffster over here?" He quipped out while keeping the unexpected glaring match.

Willow looked at Buffy's scared face and the face of all the others in the room, one she didn't know, and sat next to Buffy. "Buffy, what's wrong? Why the long face?" She asked her friend quietly.

Buffy looked at Willow and then returned her gaze back down. "We have a new player in town. Angel was just finishing telling us about the first time he met him," she said softly.

Xander broke his glaring match with Angel and frowned as he turned to face Buffy. "What do you mean? Another big bad that needs to be slayed?"

Buffy nodded and turned to Angel who turned to view the sky, almost like he was waiting for something. "Angel, what is it?"

Angel turned to Buffy and locked eyes with her. He didn't want to say that he could smell another boy on her, a very faint smell, but it was still there. He needed to leave before he said something stupid. "I'm waiting for the sun to set. We have to destroy him before he manages to get started. You don't know what happened in LA when he was there," Angel said with a hint of anger in his voice. Jamsal caused destruction before Angel found him, so he was eager for round 2, this time without cops interfering.

Xander, in an attempt to break the tension, looked and saw the more humble Wesley looking at a watcher's journal. "Wes old buddy, how are things? Still cowering in fear of scary things?"

Doyle frowned at the tone of Xander's voice and looked to the teen with his blue eyes starting to blaze in anger. "No lad, he's been a good help in LA. Probably a lot more than you with that smart mouth."

Xander sputtered at the sudden outburst of the newcomer and glared at him. "I help a lot more than watcher Jr. here."

Wesley just calmly set the book he was reading down and approached Xander with his new determination, while Cordelia stood next to Doyle to watch the spectacle. Angel kept his faced unreadable, but was going to enjoy this. Giles, Buffy, and Willow were surprised by the new found confidence in the former watcher. Their memories kept replaying the scared nature of Wesley, so they were in for a surprise.

"Really, then you have done more for your friends than just buying donuts and pizza, correct? You have helped faced various demons and vampires in a city as vast as Los Angeles?" Wesley kept his cool despite wanting to do a happy dance at the sight of Xander's quickening anger at him, "You haven't, have you? Then do us a favor and shut up while I'll explain why we are here," Wesley turned around and walked back to stand next to Angel. Angel nodded his head in respect and Wesley discreetly pumped his fist by his side in victory.

Xander quickly recovered and looked at everyone. "So, what are you doing here anyway?" He was hoping it was something the Scooby Gang could take care of, but that thought was quickly squashed as Wesley spoke up.

"A very powerful vampire has arrived in Sunnydale. His name is Jamsal," Wesley said in a strong voice. Willow gulped loudly, while Xander just snorted in humor at hearing about the vampire that they read about a few days ago.

"Okay, so what? Didn't this vampire disappear over 30 years ago in some place in Mexico?" Xander scoffed out.

"I faced him in Los Angeles a few days ago. He was searching for a good place to have some kind of final fight," Angel explained to the group.

Willow finally gathered her wits after hearing that Jamsal was in Sunnydale and looked at Angel. "Well, didn't you hurt him or anything?"

Angel shook his head and sighed. "He was strong, nearly as strong as me but he was a better fighter. The way he fights now is like nothing I have ever seen before. "

Buffy sighed dejectedly at hearing that, she was hoping for an easy fight. But after hearing what Angel went through, it wasn't possible anymore.

Giles cleared his throat to get the group's attention. "Well, I say we research to find any weaknesses." The group nodded and started getting various books to read up on Jamsal. Angel stayed far away from the group, hoping to not arouse attention because he was avoiding Buffy now.

A few hours later, Angel looked out at the night sky and set his book down. No one has found anything on Jamsal. But they did find more information about the two beings that followed him. One was a werewolf named Jesus. All they found on him was that he fought for the side of good and was also after Jamsal. The other was a warlock named Roberto. In a lot of books, the same thing was said. When Jamsal and Roberto met up in any place, they had a major fight that had left destruction in some places.

Angel was hoping to stake Jamsal before Roberto and Jesus caught wind of the Spanish vampire's location. He stood up and gathered his jacket. He caught the eyes of his team, silently telling them that he was going to patrol and that he needed to leave before the tension got to him.

Buffy noticed that Angel stayed as far away from her as possible, and was getting angrier by the second. She didn't see the silent conversation of the AI team, but she was determined to find out why Angel was ignoring her. But before she could approach him, Spike came tumbl

Angel immediately growled in warning and annoyance, more annoyance than anything. Spike picked himself out the door and faced his sire. Everyone gasped at the sight of the blonde vampire. He looked like he went 10 rounds with Ali and lost soundly. Giles stood up and helped Spike sit down in the chair he was sitting on and went to the kitchen to get some blood. Angel didn't say anything about the actions, learning from the demon pipeline that Spike was helping Buffy and her friends.

After gathering his wits and fighting the incoming blackness, he looked at Angel and then turned to Buffy. "He's here pet and he's waiting for you," he said with a raspy voice. Giles came back with the blood and handed it to Spike, who drank it gratefully.

"Who did this to you?" Buffy asked while motioning the bruised up face of Spike.

Spike growled as he remembered the way Jamsal beat the crap out of him. He tried to use all the fighting skills he knows, but Jamsal turned every attack on him. He would use the momentum of his attacks against him, then launched his own attacks. But what got Spike's attention was the way Jamsal was fighting his emotions. Something that surprised Spike beyond belief.

"Jamsal, that stupid git! The damn ponce thrashed me, he did, but he didn't stake me. He said that he would wait for you and the great poof over here at the cemetery near that bloody mansion. Hell, he even said that everyone is invited to see," Spike seethed out in anger. He wanted another go around at the vampire and stood up, feeling regenerated from the blood.

The AI team and the Scooby Gang looked at each other and nodded. They all gathered weapons to fight Jamsal silently and determinedly. They all left in a hurry, armed to the teeth. Cordy, Xander, Willow, and Doyle all had crossbows. Giles and Wesley had axes. Angel, Spike, and Buffy were armed with swords, but Angel had his spring-loaded wrist stakes with him. Everyone else had stakes in the waistband of their pants and were storming down to the cemetery that Spike said.

Upon entering the cemetery, they all agreed to stay together, knowing that Jamsal didn't stand a chance with all them together. Buffy, Angel, Spike, and Doyle let out their senses to pick up the vampire and all 4 of them heard the sounds of fighting float through the air. They all looked at each other and took off to the sounds they heard. Arriving, they saw a group of Initiative soldiers fighting a losing fight with Jamsal. The Scooby Gang gaped at the simple ease Jamsal was thrashing his opponents.

Jamsal smelled the near arrivals and smiled cruelly at the sound of his fist meeting the face of a soldier. He was just standing in the cemetery minding his business when they suddenly showed up. He knew the fight wouldn't last long, but he was bored. Riley noticed Buffy and her friends with some other people arrive and was about to say something when he felt Forrest land on top of him. He pushed him off and charged at Jamsal, only to fall to the ground after Jamsal landed a major roundhouse kick that took out him and Grant.

Jamsal then followed up with snap kick to another soldier's stomach, then kneed him in the face, knocking him out. Forrest recovered and charged at Jamsal with his baton and stun gun, but was knocked with a side kick that Xander silently quipped out that was similar to a kick in wrestling shows he sees called the Sweet Chin Music.

Jamsal looked around the down squad and then felt the irrevocable emotions rise up in him again. Sadness, anger, and depression nearly overtook him, but he held them down as he turned to face the Scooby Gang and the AI team. "Angel, nice to see you again. Spike, seems like you got a bruise on your face there," Jamsal arrogantly said.

Spike growled in anger and charged Jamsal with his sword swinging in an up-ward arch. Jamsal jumped over Spike, then tapped him on the shoulder. Spike swung his sword back, but Jamsal kicked him in the stomach and then jumped in the air. In a move that no one has seen before, Jamsal spun in midair and delivered a spinning roundhouse kick. His right foot connected with Spike's face, taking the blonde vampire down quickly, while Jamsal landed smoothly with left foot. He turned to face the wide-eyed gaze of the group and took up a fighting stance. Willow, Xander, Doyle, and Cordy all fired arrows at Jamsal, but Jamsal said a spell that Willow has never heard before and the weapons broke and the arrows fell to the ground. Angel, Wesley, Buffy, and Giles charged at Jamsal, but Jamsal just jumped over all of them. He picked up the still knocked out Riley and threw him to Giles and Wesley, then turned to face Angel and Buffy

Both former lovers stood side to side and felt the familiarity of their tandem team flow through them. Angel faked a charge to Jamsal, while Buffy launched a series of kicks that caught Jamsal unaware. She managed to land a roundhouse kick to Jamsal, which knocked him down, but the vampire jumped right back up. Angel was there upon him, but Jamsal tripped his legs and then elbowed Buffy in the stomach. She grabbed her stomach at the sudden pain, but managed to avoid a coming snap kick to her face. Angel stood up and tackled Jamsal to the ground, surprising Jamsal. He straddled Jamsal from the back and activated his wrist stakes to drive into Jamsal's back, but Jamsal said a quick spell that sent Angel flying back. Jamsal stood up to face Buffy and Angel, then closed his eyes to breathe in.

Buffy and Angel frowned at Jamsal's sudden change, but breathed in quickly once Jamsal opened his eyes. There was a calmness in them that wasn't there before the fight and both of them knew that the Spanish vampire was done playing. Spike managed to recover and stood up to protect Xander, Willow, Cordy, and Doyle. Giles and Wesley managed to get out from under Riley, then limped over to the other group to see this fight.

In front of them, Jamsal vamped out to use the extra boost of his demon and Angel followed suit. Spike vamped out also, but didn't go with Buffy and Angel, staying with the others to protect them. Suddenly, Jamsal used his immense speed that caught Buffy and Angel by surprise. He then delivered Angel a spinning back kick that sent the vampire flying back. Buffy gasped in anger, then let out a series of kicks that Jamsal blocked easily. He then tried to give Buffy a snap kick to her head, but she caught his leg and pushed it away. Jamsal used the momentum to do a 360 degree turn on the leg was standing on and managed to kick a surprised Buffy with his other leg. Buffy spun around and landed hard on the grass, dazed.

Angel couldn't help but remember what happened 154 years ago to the other slayer that Jamsal killed and his anger, fear, and strength rose in him. He stood up and sprinted over to Jamsal and stood in front of Buffy. Once again Angel was thrown as Jamsal grabbed his head suddenly and Angel saw the flicker of deep emotions in the Spanish vampire's eyes. His own yellow eyes widen in surprise at that, but he didn't say anything as Jamsal turned his angry gaze at him. Angel let out a left hook, but Jamsal caught his attack and then kicked Angel in the face, which knocked him down next to Buffy. He picked up both vampire and slayer with ease and pushed them towards the others.

Suddenly, Buffy remembered part of her dream of the innocents and gasped as another figure emerged onto the scene. He was tall, as tall as Jamsal and had a medium build. From the moonlight she could see that he bore a tan and his brown eyes were nearly black with anger and determination. She also noticed that he looked young, nearly as young as Xander. He was dressed in black jeans, black and white converse, a black shirt, and a black jacket. She saw as the newcomer threw down his jacket and faced off against Jamsal.

Jamsal growled loudly at the new person, knowing who he was. If he was here, then the one he was waiting one was close behind. "Jesus, I would say it's nice to see you again… but we both know it's bullshit," Jamsal quipped out as both Jesus and Jamsal stalked around each other.

"Likewise, every time I see you, my head starts to hurt in annoyance," Jesus shot back.

Jamsal smirked then stopped walking. "That's because you're an idiot." He then charged at Jesus, who flipped Jamsal over onto his back. Jamsal cursed himself and shot back up. He got into a boxer's stance, and Jesus followed suit. Both of them approached each other and started letting out combo after combo, managing to block hits and land hits. A few times, both Jesus and Jamsal managed to punch each other at the same time, which knock both opponents back. By this time, the Initiative group was stirring awake and crawling back to get away from the fight. Jesus gave Jamsal a big uppercut that knocked the vampire down to the ground. He then straddled the vampire and hit Jamsal with such force that his head snap hard to the ground then back up only to get punched again. Jamsal managed to keep his bearings enough to throw his legs up and lock over Jesus' head and throw him off balance.

Jesus flipped away from the deadly lock and took his fighting stance back up. Jamsal slowly got up but chanted a spell that Jesus knew all too well. Once Jamsal locked eyes with Jesus, Jesus noticed the darker shade of yellow that usually accompanied Jamsal after that particular spell. It was time for Jesus to call upon his own strength. He ripped off his shirt to reveal a well-built body that made Cordy drool. Then an inhuman growl erupted from Jesus' throat and in front of the Scooby Gang, the AI Team, and the now awake Initiative soldiers, Jesus transformed into the werewolf he's known for. He stood taller, his hands turned larger with huge nails on the ends. His faced turned into a snout that resembled more wolf than anything the three teams has seen before and all of them shivered as Jesus howled at the half-moon.

Jamsal growled right back at the werewolf with a roar of a master vampire. A roar that Angel and Spike knew was a challenge. Buffy's dream become clearer as she took in the stance of the werewolf and Jamsal and knew that the innocents in her dream were them. The Scooby Gang and AI teams stood tall behind Jesus, while the Initiative soldiers already fled the scene to report back to their commander. Before the werewolf and vampire could come to blows the air around everyone got colder and more electric as they turned to see another figure slowly approaching the scene. They all saw his hands open and two fireballs started appearing. Jamsal growled and his own hands opened with the fireballs appearing. At the same time, both of them launched the attacks that exploded with force, knocking back nearly everyone, except Jamsal and the newcomer.

Jamsal closed his hands as more emotions flew inside him at the sight of the newcomer. He groaned in pain and anguish and kneeled to the ground. Jesus changed back to his human form, knowing that his clothes were still on him. He walked over to the newcomer and nodded to him in salute. "Roberto," he said to the warlock.

Roberto nodded back to Jesus and turned to look at the new developments of Jamsal. "It's starting to overtake him," he cryptically said to Jesus. Jesus nodded and looked over to Jamsal, who was now slowly standing up. He looked over to the opposition and felt the need to flee rise up in him. "I don't have time right now…. See you around Bobby." With that, Jamsal blended back into the night, fighting his growing emotions.

Angel stayed quiet as he knew what was happening to Jamsal. He didn't know how, but somehow the Spanish Vampire was either recovering or dealing with his new soul.
