Author's Chapter Notes:
More chapters coming up.
Disclaimer : Joss Whedon owns the characters. Atleast most of them. I’m continuing the story which didn’t end when he finished. Just want to have an ending.



Angel was trying to attack the dragon while it tried to handle both its opponents. Willow continued throwing fireballs towards the dragon distracting it from clawing Angel. Meanwhile Angel got hold of his sword again and tried to attack the dragon from the rooftop. It was struggling but it seemed quite strong to handle both of them. Willow was starting to get annoyed with the dragon and she started to whisper some magical words and suddenly a series of fireballs started to appear close to the dragon and went towards it. The dragon tried to escape but got hit by the fireballs and it started to burn up and evaporated. Angel seemed a bit upset about it and went towards Willow who landed on the rooftop exhausted.

“Hey Willow. Nice of you to drop in by.”

“Hey Angel. Thanks for the notice in advance” Willow mocked at Angel.

“Sorry about that. After me taking control of Wolfram and Hart, Giles didn’t consider us a priority.” Angel said while remembering of the call he made when he needed Willow’s help with Fred.

“Well, I don’t know what’s been going on but Giles called me and told me to come to L.A. Apparently there seems to be an apocalypse coming up and he said it required my help so here I am. Buffy came in too.”

“Buffy is here?” Angel said with a surprised voice.

“Ya. She and Faith are here with the slayer army. She thought you have turned into Angelus again and came into kill you.” Willow chuckled when she saw Angel’s face.

Angel looked a bit pale and threatened by that thought.

“Relax Angel. She won’t kill you since you are like yourself.”

“I know. It’s just that there may be other reasons that would motivate her to kill me.”

Willow looked confused. “I don’t understand”

“It doesn’t matter now. We can talk about that later. Important thing is to get rid of this demon army against us.” Angel tried to avoid Willow’s gaze.
“Right” Willow doesn’t look satisfied but she takes the answer Angel gave her for the time being.

Just then they heard the loud scream of the troll from the end of the alley.

Angel heard it and with his vampire eyes, he could see Spike on top of the troll’s head. Angel got a small smile on his face. “Always trying to take down the big guy.” He murmured.

Just then he saw a dragon coming out of the portal. It came right behind Spike and it seemed like Spike didn’t notice it. Angel tried to warn Spike by shouting loudly. “SPIKE”

Willow seemed shocked and surprised by Angel’s shout. She didn’t know Spike was alive and she couldn’t see him in the troll’s head. She thought Angel must have gone crazy.

“What are you shouting about? Spike is not here. He’s been dead for a while now. Actually he has been dead for a long time but he burned away in Sunnydale school basement.” Willow was blabbering while looking at Angel weirdly.

“There is no time for explanation. Can you get me near to the big troll at the end of the alley?” Angel asked with a hurried voice.

“I can try.” with that, Willow started to focus more on her words and then Angel started to feel the ground go lower from his feet. In a minute, he was starting to float in the air. He tried to fly close to the troll but before his very eyes, the troll and Spike got in a fire by the dragon’s breath. He saw them starting to burn. He saw Spike burning and his ashes falling down with the troll face forwards and over a bunch of demons. He knew he was too late to save Spike.

Sudden look of his grand-childe dying in front of his eyes made him tremble with feelings. Angel always had some care for Spike regardless of his cockiness and rude remarks. He was his family after all. He was jealous of Spike to have a lot of things easy while he had to have everything tough. But still he always knew Spike had some good heart in him that made him the way he was. So grief took Angel’s focus for a minute and he was lost in the action.

He didn’t notice the dragon that flew from the portal coming towards him. It seemed to have used its breath of fire on the troll and Spike so it tried to attack Angel’s floating body with its claws. But Angel recovered too soon and moved away from the claws. Before the dragon flew away, Angel turned and got hold of the dragon’s thick wings and pushed himself on top of its body. He was sitting and riding the dragon on its back. He steadied himself and then using both of his hands; he swung the sword right across the dragon’s neck. It went in through and halfway into it’s neck hurting the dragon painfully. It tried to shake off Angel from its back but Angel didn’t slip away. He pushed the sword further and further until it chopped the head off the dragon and making the body fall down towards the demon army. It fell in top of the army and Angel went down with it.

Faith and her slayers were close-by making their share of the damage of the army. She saw a head fall off from the sky and when she looked up, she saw the dragon’s body falling towards the ground. She went towards its crashing trying to find out who was riding the dragon. When she reached the destination, she saw Angel’s bruised body in the ground covered with dragon’s sticky blood. She raised him up and helped him move to the corner of the alley. She left him there with his sword to protect himself and continued to kill the demons with her slayer army.

Willow was watching and trying to keep Angel steady himself in the air. And when he landed on the dragon, she got back into floating and flew back to where Buffy was. She saw a blue demon fighting in front of Buffy trying to cover the blonde girl from the demon army. Buffy was gazing towards the rooftop and didn’t move at all. Willow reached Buffy and landed close to her and went to her.

“Buffy! What’s wrong? What are you looking at?” Willow questioned.

Buffy didn’t come out of her gaze. Willow shook Buffy’s body.

“Buffy. Snap out of it. Come on.. What’s wrong?”

“I heard someone call Spike’s name. Did I hear it or was it an illusion?” Buffy questioned Willow once she saw whom she was talking with.

“No Buffy. It was Angel. He only shouted Spike’s name. He said he will explain later.” Willow explained.

“So Angel is fighting for the good guys?” Buffy asked for confirmation.

Willow nodded and turned her head towards Illyria.

“Is she on our side?” Buffy nodded her head in agreement.

“Willow. Can you go and see how Faith and the other slayers are doing? I don’t want them getting killed in the middle.”

“Ok. Will you be alright here?” Buffy seemed to have got back and was getting ready for the fight again.

Willow looked towards the demon army and then she started to float back towards Faith and the slayers. When she reached them, she saw Faith demolishing some of the demons and was trying to protect Angel from them. Angel seemed to be pretty beaten up and was out of the fight. Willow landed closely to Angel.

“Hey. Are you alright?” Willow asked the half conscious vampire.

“Be..Alright. Need…to…close….portal..” Angel tried to speak but he was struggling to say anything in clear sentences.

Willow understood what Angel was trying to say. She looked farther down the alley to see the familiar blue and white colours of a portal whirling. She then knew what it would take to finish the battle. She looked at Angel and said

“Don’t worry. I’ll take care of this. You take a break.” She then looked up in the air and when she looked back down; her eyes have turned into black. Her hair was starting to become black. She started to float again and this time she went straight towards the portal. She was close to it and she whispered some magical words to the sky and held her hands up. Suddenly there were lightening in the already raining sky. The lightening came down to Willow’s hands. She was still saying her magic words and the pointed both her hands towards the portal. It created some sparks in the portal and it started to dissolve into thin air. When it was finally done, Willow turned towards the demon army who are abandoned in the middle of the alley. She started to call more powers from the nature and earth started to shatter like as if it was an earth quake. Cracks were forming in the ground. And sudden winds blew through the alley knocking the demons off their balances. Then suddenly the off-balance made the demons run for their lives and before they could escape, they combusted by flames from inside their bodies. All the demons in the alley fell into the ground as dust. Only people dead left in the alley were the bodies of Gunn and fallen slayers in the battle. Slayers alive along with Buffy and Faith moved together and Illyria was standing next to Buffy while they moved closer to Angel who was unconscious at the moment. Willow landed to the ground looking exhausted but back to her normal self. She gave a smile towards Buffy who nodded her head in appreciation.

“Good work Will.” Buffy called out to her friend.

“Thanks Buf. If you don’t mind, I’d like to lie down for a while. Probably a week.” Willow said to Buffy before falling to her knees. Buffy told a fellow slayer to assist Willow and went towards Angel. She and Faith got hold of his body from either side.

“We can rest back in this building. Take the bodies and the injured in first. The rest of you who can move, look for some supplies that could be used.” Buffy gave orders to the slayers and moved towards Hyperion.

“B. You sure of this?” Faith questioned.

“Ya. It still belongs to Angel. Even after him moving to Wolfram and Hart.” Buffy told to Faith and continued to move towards the building.

Willow got to her feet with the help of the slayer. While she moved, she got a glance of a duster in the ground covered with ashes. It seemed familiar to Willow for some reason.

“Can you get that Duster for me Rebecca?” She asked the slayer by her side.

Rebecca looked at Willow as if she was weird but didn’t say anything. She knew about the witch’s powers and now she saw it by her own eyes. She was scared at the moment to mock the witch. So she did as Willow said. Willow got hold of the duster but she was too tired to inspect it. So instead, she moved towards Hyperion with the slayer helping her.

A/N : If anyone is wondering why Willow didn’t do the magic and get rid of the demons in the first place, it’s because she had to use Black Magic to close the portal and kill the demons. Even though she has control over it now, she still tries to limit it unless it is absolutely necessary. So when the portal needed to be closed, she turned in for black magic and used it to kill the demons too. She has grown powerful over the year. Really powerful. You will see it later in the story.

And as for the bodies of the troll and the other demons, they turned into ashes too. Willow’s magic was the cause.
