Disclaimer: I don't own and I make nothing from this.

Here's the last chapter. Thank you very much for taking the time to read this and please tell me what you think. It's been a lot of fun writing this but it has come to a close.

Angelus smiled to himself when he saw the blonde on his doorstep. Once she had received the information about Olvikan she came to her senses and realized she needed help. He looked uninterested at seeing her there, examining his fingernails instead, "Something I can help you with?" He asked, raising an eyebrow.

"I want your help." He words were nearly inaudible.

"I'm sorry, I didn't hear you, you what?"

She took a deep breath, "I want your help." She repeated, a little louder this time.

"Speak up girl, my time is precious."

Her eyes narrowed as she took another breath, "I want your help!" She shouted, causing him to laugh.

"My help with what?" As he spoke he leaned back against the doorframe.

"You know what. In order to be this thing we're going to have to work together."

He smirked, "I know. As much as I hate to agree, I know we have to do this together." He paused, "After this we're leaving. I wanted to leave sooner but that pesky mayor got in the way. It's high time for us to move."

"Good." She crossed her arms over her chest.

"Why don't you tell me what you've found out so far and what exactly you think you need me to do?"

She looked past him, like she wanted to be anywhere but standing outside or in his company for that matter, "How about we meet later tonight, some neutral place where we can come up with a plan?"

He couldn't help himself and burst into laughter, "Alright slayer. Although I think it best we meet somewhere out of the way or where we won't be seen by prying eyes. I have a reputation to uphold, not only that but it wouldn't be good for my position if I were caught with you."

"And what position is that? The mayor's lap dog?"

He hissed, his hands clenching into fists at his side, "Watch your tongue or I might remove it." He growled lowly, tempted to wrap his hand around her throat.

"Whatever, look, we have to work together to get through this. We're trying to find out when he's going to do it; we can meet to talk about this tomorrow night?"

"Alright, tomorrow night, the motel just outside of town at 9:30, come alone, I'm not going to have a discussion with any of your little puppy dogs listening around."

She nodded before turning on her heels and striding away. He shook his head, going back inside and closing the door, "So she came to ask for help?" Spike spoke up from behind him, leaning against a nearby wall.

"Yes. She finally broke down and asked the big, bad vampire for help."

He laughed, "So what now? We going to play her little game?"

Angelus stretched and smirked, "We're going to get rid of him then we're taking a little trip, it's high time we moved, and to my understanding the demons in LA are getting a little high and mighty, needs to be taken down a notch."

"Should be fun, what about here?"

He shrugged, "Just leave it as it is. The slayer can take care of it, well, not to my liking but certainly better then almost anyone else."

Suddenly Xander launched himself into Angelus' arms, tackling him happily, "Sire. When do we get started?"

"Tomorrow night the fun begins."

They had discovered that the Ascension was to occur the day of their graduation, at their graduation as a matter of fact. Willow had been put in charge of organizing the students, preparing them for the battle. Angelus toyed with the mayor, assuring him of his loyalty, while planning with Buffy about how exactly they were going to destroy the demon. Xander and Spike busied themselves with giving the mortals tips on how to avoid the vampires that would be attack them come the appointed time. Of course they also teased the humans behind their backs, discussing which one would taste the best. Angelus and Buffy had decided on the best course of action. There would be an eclipse, according to the mayor, and at that time the vampires would be able to come out and play, of course those vampires were the mayor's lackeys, Angelus wasn't about to reveal himself to them, didn't want to run the risk of discovery. So instead Angelus would lead the mayor's forces then turn on them when the time was right. It was up to Buffy to take care of the demon while they bought her some time. The eclipse should last long enough for them to take care of the vampires and get away before becoming dust.

Xander wrapped his arms around Angelus' shoulders from behind, leaning his head on his shoulder, "Sire." Angelus ran his fingers over his hands, "Think we're going to win?"

"Of course. Why wouldn't we childe? Of course I do feel like I'm playing a hero, which disgusts me." He growled softly as Xander's fingers began to trace patterns over his chest, "It's all worth it in the end and we'll soon be able to terrorize Los Angelus, the city of angels." He burst into laughter, "How ironic."

Xander smiled, nuzzling his shoulder, kissing his throat softly, "So we're staking our own kind again, of course they'll be attacking us first."

With a quick movement Angelus pulled Xander into his lap, capturing his lips in a searing kiss. He moaned softly into it, rewrapping his arms around his neck. He arched against him, lapping at his tongue, pressing tight against his body. Angelus' fingers raked down his back, growling into the kiss as he rolled their tongues together. Xander's fingers wound themselves through his hair, panting and moaning into his mouth as he pressed tight against him.

"We don't have time." Xander panted out, arching into his mouth as he laid sucking kisses over his throat.

"We'll make the time." He growled, tugging lose the button on his pants.

Xander's fingers quickly worked to free his sire's length while his pants were removed. Neither bothered to fully disrobe, the lack of time before they needed to get going put a damper on their desires. In a flash, the younger vampire found himself impaled on his length, wringing a moan from his lips. His muscles clenched and pulled along him, working him up further. The sound of flesh against flesh echoed through the room as they rutted at a near animalistic pace. Cries and moans of pleasure sounded around them as they moved, sire and childe locked in their dance of desire and need. Angelus growled lowly in pleasure, snapping up hard into Xander's tight embrace, wringing a keen of need in response.

"Almost childe, so close." He panted into his ear, his nails dragging down his sides, biting and tugging his ear.

Xander cried out in response, tightening around him further, pulling along him tightly. With a growl of possession and pleasure Angelus came, filling him up and sending him over the edge all at once, "I think we need to change." He groaned softly, resting his head on a shoulder.

"I think so too." He stroked his sweat slicked hair, purring lowly in his ear, "Let's get cleaned up and head out."

Xander whined in response, "Feels good though." He pouted, slowly pulling off with a soft moan of loss.

"Clean me up childe." He ordered, leaning back in his chair as he unbuttoned his soiled shirt. A low purr escaped his lips as he lowered down to lap clean his length with long swipes of his tongue. Angelus groaned, petting through his hair as he finished, "Good boy, go get us a pair of shirts, our jeans are still clean." He relaxed, shucking his shirt as he waited for him to return.

Xander returned, carrying two black silk shirts. Angelus smiled, taking one and slipping it on, leaving it un-tucked as he zipped up his pants and buttoned his shirt. Once they were ready the two of them set out after covering themselves completely in thick blankets and jackets to shield themselves from the sun. They moved quickly, making their way to the school and out of the light as quickly as they could.

"I knew we should have left before morning." Xander grumbled as they found a place to safe place until the eclipse.

"Hush childe, it's almost time." He looked outside, watching the beginnings of the mayor's speech.

The moment the sky began to darken the two vampires made their way outside, taking their places behind the minions that were there supporting the mayor. Spike had come earlier and met up with them, Drusilla had refused to come; she said she had no desire to join in the game. They watched intently, waiting for the moment when the mayor would begin to change. The sky was dark, the sun blotted out, and the students were ready. When the minions advanced the three vampires behind them made their move, staking many before they even realized what was happening. Humans and vampire alike fell as the mayor changed.

"Holy shit!" Xander looked up at the huge snake before staking another vampire.

"Childe! Pay attention, that's for the slayer to play with!" Angelus growled, slamming one of them down into his raised knee.

A grunt escaped his lips as one of them tried to bite him, obviously mistaking him for a human. He growled lowly, slamming his elbow back into his face before tackling him to the ground. An angry hiss escaped through clenched teeth as he broke his neck, "Hands off."

An explosion shook the ground as Giles hit the button that would blow both the school and the demon to kingdom come. The few remaining vampires scattered, leaving Angelus, Spike, and Xander to head home and then away. As they moved into the smoke Buffy caught sight of them, watched them go with thanks in her heart for their help even if it was hard to thank your mortal enemy.
