Chapter 26:
When they returned to the Manor Phoebe, and Piper were waiting for them. Piper asked, " Well?"
Angel pulled out the vial, and slip of paper, and tossed them to her as he said, " Lilah gave us these."
Phoebe asked, " She just gave them to you out of the goodness her heart?"
Angel shot her his legendary crooked grin as he said, " Sure she did, I just had ta persuade er a lil first."
Phoebe looked like she wanted to press the issue but Cole spoke up, " Drop it."
Phoebe turned on him as she yelled, " He tortured her didn't he?"
Cole replied, " Phoebe we got what we need to bring Paige back, so just drop it."
Phoebe just stared at him as Piper said, " He right Pheebs, we need to bring Paige back."
Leo said as he orbed in, " The Elders told me Angel found a way to bring Paige back."
Piper nodded as she said, " He did, we're just trying to figure out how to do it."
Leo asked, " Couldn't you freeze her long enough to perform the spell?"
Phoebe said, " She's not a witch anymore, that might work."
Angel thought about it for a few minutes, then he said, " This might work, but ye all need ta listen ta me. Let me, and Cole go in first, an distract er, then Piper, ye come in, an freeze er, while Leo ye throw the soddin vial at er, and Phoebe ye read the bloody spell.
They all nodded as they went in search of Illyria. They found her in the basement. Cole transformed into Belthazar, while Angel vamped out. Then they flew down the stairs at her. Angel was able to hit her with a couple punches, and a kick before she grabbed him, and threw him into a wall. Cole hit her with a huge energy ball, and kept up the onslaught while Angel flipped back to his feet. Angel peppered her midsection with a flurry of hooks, jabs, and uppercuts, then he bounced her head off his knee, and hit her under the chin with a palm strike, stunning her. Then he yelled, " Piper now."
Piper froze her, then Leo threw the vial at her, and it exploded, covering her in a clear viscous liquid, then he yelled, " Phoebe yer on darlin. She began to read the spell, as she read Illyria spasmed, and twitched, and drooped to the ground, then with one final bloodcurdling gut wrenching scream, her hair, eyes, and skin retuned to normal as Illyria was purged from her body.
I know Illyria wasn't that easily defeated on Angel, but I thought it worked for the story, tell me what y'all think? Also should Angel, and the girls seek vengeance on Lilah, and W&H
