Making progress against seemingly insurmountable odds.
We were making progress in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds. There were literally tens of thousands of demons on the streets of Wilshire boulevard, all with one focus, and one focus only and that was to go after Angel, as they had most assuredly been sent by their dead demon masters of the Circle of the Black Thorn, if not by the Senior

"Can tell you this, Percy...Soldierboy is firing bullets into demons' heads from up above, which is also a good idea. Though he and his significant other might try to shoot me...long story."
That was also inconsequential at this point, his being shot by these two strangers on the rooftops, though as I looked up, I saw them, clearly and was just glad that allies were helping us. As Spike would tell Illyria and I, there were many more allies out there.
"Percy, Buffy's here, so is Faith. Think that I just saw Lindsey knock out Giles too."
I was uplifted that Giles had chosen to help us and had brought an army of slayers. There was no way that we could lose now, though Lindsey knocking out Giles seemed to fit and yet, be a mystery at the same time. Why would he go after Giles?
"Lots of slayers are dead, Blue, Percy. We have to get together with those still alive and form a line..."
I felt immediate grief, to go along with my pronounced, need to get to a hospital soon, weakness.
A demon hit Spike with claws and as Illyria killed that demon, I covered her back with bullets of my own, though I was nearly out of rounds.
