Lost Lovers (19/20)
Xander walked in to the room, axe over his shoulder and a grin plastered over his features. Behind him came Gunn, also him carrying an axe.
“Honey, we’re home,” said Xander and got the immediate attention from the many vampires crowding the room.
“Let’s get this show on the road.”
And the fight was on.

Willow stood besides Wesley and stared at the baby that smiled up at them, kicking its small legs and seemed generally sweet and innocent. And he was.
He was an innocent - and he needed to be saved.
“Alright, little one,” cooed Willow and bent down to pick up the baby into her caring arms. “Let’s get out of here.”
She turned around to leave, and found herself facing a crowd of hooded demons.
“Get out of here,” said Wesley and raised his sword. “Save the baby.”
And that’s just exactly what Willow did - leaving the ex-watcher behind.

Angel smiled when the elevator doors opened and Hamilton stepped out. The suited moron had no idea what was coming to him.
“Hey, Hamilton, knitted together any evil schemes lately?”
The liaison came to a stop and regarded Angel with raised eyebrow, seemingly unconcerned that the vampire obviously was on to him.
“Angel,” he said with a slight nod. Looking behind the vampire. “Where are the rest of your ‘peeps’?”
Angel nodded over the other man’s shoulder.
“He’s all I need.”
Hamilton turned around - and was sent to the floor from a powerful blow.
“Oh, hey,” said Connor with a big grin. “Judgment day is here.”

Buffy and Dawn stood at the sides, watching Illyria take apart the final members of the Black Thorne with a kind of ruthless simplicity that both impressed and revolted them.
“He’s beautiful,” whispered Dawn without letting her eyes waver from the god king.
“He is,” admitted Buffy and sneered slightly. “As well as he is an abomination.”
What can I tell you, baby? I’ve always been bad.
Buffy shock away the painful memories and looked at her sister.
“Come on,” she said slowly. “We have somewhere we have to be.”
And they turned and left.

Fred stood in the alleyway, waiting for the others to arrive.
Behind her stood a band of slayers and Andrew.
The time to make an impact had come.
Are you with me, Fred?
She was.
