First off thank you all for taking the time for the reviews.
Just to clear something up: Angel is NOT Dawn's mate. Dawn's mate however is from the Aurelius line. Keep guessing some of you have really good guesses.
Authors notes: Please remember this is taking place after Chosen and right into NFA I have used the last line from the Angel series and will be in Italic. The visions that Dru and Joyce have will be in Bold. Special guest stars: Charles Gunn and Illyria. Honestly I haven't decided if I want to keep Gunn and Illyria in the story. Please let me know if you would like to see them again.
Updated some mistakes.

CHAPTER FIVE: A Tad Back In Time
"What do you mean go back?" Spike asked.
"I am sending you all back in time just as the fight in the alley happens. You'll have your memories intact. Buffy, Oz and Faith will help Spike fight the demons. Tara you are to put a protection spell on all of them. Dawn will close the portal with just one drop of blood. Tara, Wesley, and Anya will guide her to the portal and use your powers. Merrick, Dru, and Joyce will be waiting for you near the alley. Dru will protect Joyce from any harm. Now you are ready." Isabella said.
Spike pulled Buffy and Dawn into a hug.
"I'll be waiting for you, Pet." Spike said placing a kiss onto Buffy's head.
Before Buffy could replied she saw Isabella raising her arms and a golden light emanated from her, and the next thing Buffy knew she was standing in the rain. She looked around and saw Oz and Faith just behind her. She was surprised to find the scythe in her hand. She could hear and see the ugly demons racing towards Spike. Then she saw and heard a voice that just made her blood boil.
"Well, personally I kinda want to slay the dragon." He paused for a moment and then said "Let's go to work."
Buffy walked passed Charles Gunn and Illyria tapping Angel on his shoulder.
Angel turned around, his eyes widen in surprise and he opened his mouth to say something.
Not giving him anytime to say anything Buffy punches him in the nose sending him flying into the first waves of demons coming at them.
"That was for not letting me know my boyfriend was back, Angel um I mean Peaches." Buffy yelled at Angel.
"Oi Luv I love you woman." Spike said elated that Buffy used one of his name's for Angel.
He went into game face and punched the demon.
They all began to fight off the demons.
Dawn, Tara, Wesley and Anya were near the portal opening.
Dawn eyes widen in fear as the ugly demons started to poor out.
"Don't worry they can't see us. We are invisible to them, Tara has placed the protection spell on all of us." Wesley said taking Dawn's hand guiding her to the portal.
"I thought his soul would stop him from doing this again." Dawn stated.
"His soul has been corrupted for a while now, Dawnie."
"Yes, that's true and even more so when he took over Wolfram and Heart."
Standing in front of the portal Anya held out her hand and a jewel crested dagger appeared. She handed the dagger to Dawn.
"Dawn, just a small prick should do." Anya said.
Dawn looked at the dagger and nodded. She took the dagger pricking her finger. She formed a small drop of blood letting it fall into the portal opening.
Tara touched Dawn's hand and said a small incantation healing Dawn's small wound. She grabbed Dawn's hand and she motion for Anya and Wesley to form a circle. Using the powers that were given to them a green light flashed and they successfully closed the portal.
"Think they know?" Anya asked.
"I'm sure they do."
"Angel so going to get his ass kicked." Dawn smiling reminiscent of Spike.
At that moment Tara saw a glimpse of Spike in her.
A green light flashed and both Buffy and Spike knew that Dawn had just finished closing the portal.
"What the fuck?! A dragon, hey B heads up." Faith said pointing at the dragon.
The dragon started to fly down towards them when it was suddenly struck by lightning falling down to its death.
Oz shaking his head in disbelief looking up to the sky and said, "Thanks Isabella."
Gunn fell to the ground bleeding from his wounds.
"You are taking my violence away." Illyria said walking up to Buffy.
"Back off, Blue there are demons to kill, yeah." Spike said while killing the demon.
He turned his back for a moment and a demon appeared behind him.
Buffy notice the demon, it was the same demon that had killed Spike in the earlier vision.
"Oh no you don't, nobody messes with my boyfriend." Buffy said rushing towards the demon.
The demon punched Buffy sending her to the floor. She quickly got to her feet swing the scythe and completely cutting off its head.
Buffy, Spike, Oz, Faith and Illyria quickly got rid of the demons. The demons were no match for them.
Demon bodies laid on the ground. The Champions had adverted Hell on Earth.
Faith and Oz went to Gunn.
"B we need to take him to Tara quickly." Faith said as Oz helped Gunn to his feet.
"We are good here." Buffy nodded.
Merrick, Joyce, and Dru were standing at the mouth of the alley.
Dru clapped happily and said, "Granddaughter has closed the bright hole."
"Granddaughter oh you mean my granddaughter, yes she has." Joyce smiled.
"No grandmummy my granddaughter." Dru said giggle softly.
"What do you mean your granddaughter?" Joyce asked a little confused.
"I sired William and he is The Key's daddy so I'm her granmum as like you."
"Oh"
"Joyce you'll get a headache trying to figure it out." Merrick stated.
"Ok oh there he is." Joyce said with a look of disgust while she pointed at Angel.
"Yes I have seen from above what he has put my dear girl through." Merrick said sadly.
Both Merrick and Joyce cheered when they saw Buffy punch Angel in the nose.
Joyce closed her eyes for a moment getting a vision: Angel grabbing and shaking Buffy violently, and Spike growling with anger. Faith and Oz were bringing a wounded young man to Merrick. Wesley, Anya and Dawn helping Tara healing the young man.
"Merrick I think I just had a vision. You need to stay here Faith and Oz are bringing an injured man. Tara will be here soon with the others." Joyce said walking into the alley.
At the same moment Dru received her vision: Angel going into game face and attacking Joyce. Dru saving Joyce from Angel's attack.
Angel slowly got up to his feet rubbing his nose. He was in shock and mad. How dare she show up here in his town. Who does she think she is. He was The Powers That Be Champion. He walked towards Buffy. He grabbed her by both her shoulders turning her to face him. He ignored the growl coming from Spike.
"Buffy what the hell are you doing here? If I wanted you here I would have let Giles know." Angel said shaking her.
"Get your hands off my daughter!" Joyce said standing right behind him.
Angel turned around at the voice. His eyes widen in shock. He changed into game face shoving Buffy to the ground near Spike's feet. He rushed towards Joyce knocking her to the ground.
"Mom!" Buffy exclaimed as she fell.
"Buffy!" Spike exclaimed as he moved just in time to catch Buffy.
Joyce fell to the ground with Angel on top of her with his hands around her neck.
"Who are you" Angel demanded as he choked Joyce not noticing the soft growl behind him.
Dru grabbed Angel's shoulder pulling him off Joyce. She was able to threw him against a building. She seemed to float as she walked to him.
"Angel beast cannot attack the Sunshine's mummy. Bad daddy no tea for you."
Angel let out a loud growl trying to show his dominance to everyone around him.
"Dru." Angel growled getting ready to attack his favorite Childe.
"Enough!" Buffy said walking up to them.
Buffy placed herself in between Angel and Dru.
"Buffy, move I need to take care of Dru, before she attacks you."
Buffy took a deep breath and said, "Nope don't think she will. If you ever touch my mother or anyone that I care about again I will personally kill you." She said with a serious look.
"Watch who you are talking too, Buffy. I'm The Powers That Be champ-"
"Not anymore, Peaches." Spike interrupted walking towards them.
He slipped out of game face and helped Joyce to her feet. He made sure that Joyce was behind him in case he had to defend her.
Buffy's face lit up when she saw that Spike was not hurt and said, "The Powers are the ones who sent me and my team. Once again Angel you decided to destroy the world only this time you had your soul. I was sent to clean up your mess."
"Buffy that is just not possible. You have no contact with The Powers like I do." Angel said slowly as if he was talking to a child.
"Rude much don't patronize me, Angel. I'm The Slayer. You are no longer Champion to The Powers That Be. You need to back off now." Buffy stated.
Angel looked at her in disbelief. He was not going to be robbed at his redemption. He looked at Buffy trying to use the control he had over her.
Buffy suddenly knew what he was trying to do and narrowed her eyes.
Angel kept trying to make Buffy do what he wanted, and he just couldn't figure out why the Claim wasn't working. The Claim he placed without her knowledge when she was trying to save his life. Why isn't it working? He thought to himself.
Spike growled loudly knowing exactly what Angel was trying to do. He was close to losing complete control to his demon. His demon wanted to rip Angel apart for trying to control his Slayer.
"Bloody fuckering Hell it doesn't work anymore, Peaches." He said with between his teeth.
Buffy slapped Angel across his face.
"How dare you? I was trying to save your life. The Powers have taken that away. You will no longer have any control over me again. You need to leave now."
Angel step back for a moment. He was surprised by the events that were happening. He need time to regroup to figure out what to do. He needed to get in touch with Whistler. He made his way out of the alley.
Suddenly a dark flash appeared above in the sky Willow, Xander and Giles stood in the alley.
"Buffy!" The watcher exclaimed.
"Oh my Goddess, Spike!"
