Summary- In an attempt to bring Angel and his gang back to life, Angelus is resurrected and he's got a plan on destroying the world. Angel's once good friends have one last final mission, to kill him. What the gang isn't quite prepared for is his new girlfriend, a turned slayer.
Disclaimer-I Don't own Angel.
Note: Here is a bunch of craziness I cooked up. It started with me just wanting to change the ending to angel, but now I have a twisted evil plot mwahahahaaha.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And, this is all our fault. We did this to ourselves, these wounds we bare, are self inflicted. We should have done things differently, we could have, we would have. But we have run out of time and we must inflict ourselves with one last wound; To kill Angel before he kills anyone else, we were to late to save her...

"What are you doing?"Buffy asked.
"I like axes- Do you have a problem with that?"Angel asked swinging an axe around in his hand circling her.
"What are you-"
"Shh. It's my turn to talk. See, I am finally free."Angel said looking at the axe. "Finally free."he repeated to himself. Buffy looked at him, confused. She shivered looking around the empty cave that the two of them were in.
"Angelus?"she said quietly. Angelus grabbed the axe and swung it at her for a killing blow...

10 days earlier
Not fade away, morning
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Buffy Summers and an army of slayers behind her stared at the massive army of demons in front of them. There was a dead dragon, and many dead demons, but the army was still alive. There was a young man with brown hair fighting; Conner.
"You gonna stand there or are you gonna help?"Conner yelled blood trickling down his face. Buffy stood eyes wide looking for Angel or any sign of his team besides Conner.
"I found a body."Willow said sadly looking at Gunn. It was almost dawn if Angel was still alive they had to find him fast. They had gotten a call from Wesley earlier that night and came as fast as they could. Buffy turned to the army of slayers behind her.
"Get to work."Buffy said tasteful for vengeance. The army charged along with some of her friends, Willow, Dawn,Andrew, Xander, and Giles helping Conner. The whole Scooby gang was there. It was a huge battle but Buffy didn't remember much of it.Slash, cut, stab it was a rhythmic pattern all the same to her. Her mind was only focused on one thing; find Angel. The battle ended just as the sun was rising. She was looking at an ocean of bodies.
"I'm sorry."Giles said putting his hand on her shoulder. Buffy turned to Conner.
"What happened?"she demanded.
"Nice to meet you too."Conner muttered. Buffy crossed her arms and gave him an annoyed look.
"My father came for a cup of coffee-like he'd come for a cup of coffee if it wasn't the end of the world? So I came and turns out, yeah, end of the world. I saved his life but he told me to go back. So I was half way home before I realized since when do I ever listen to him? So I came back. When I got here I watched him burst into a cloud of dust. I was too slow to save him."Conner said looking at the ground, closing his eyes. Giles took off his glasses and began cleaning them. As tears filled Buffy's eyes.
"Goodness- your Conner! A child from two vampires! Amazing!"Giles said.
"We found Gunn and Fred- well apparently she's a demon named Illyria now. She's alive but barely."Xander interrupted. Andrew looked at the bodies and frowned.
"Angel,Wesley,Gunn, and Spike."he said quietly. Buffy froze her eyes widening. She looked at Andrew.
"Did you say-"
"Balls."said a familiar voice. They turned to see a hand coming out of the mass of bodies a bloody injured Spike clawed himself out. He spit up blood holding his side which was bleeding badly.
"Spike!"Buffy said eyes wide, un believing her eyes filling with tears. She ran to him hugging him tightly.He let out a grunt of pain and his hands hung loosely at his side as if he didn't know what to do. "Oh god- Spike- Your back- how?"she cried.
"I think you have me confused with someone else miss."Spike said slowly taking a few steps back.
"Don't play that with me!"Cried Buffy. She looked at Andrew letting the tears fall. "It's Spike isn't it?"she demanded.
"Yeah. I guess that amulet thing trapped his spirit and got mailed to Angel and he haunted Angel for awhile. But than he got mailed a box and there was a big flash and he was corporeal again."Andrew said. Buffy stared than looked at Conner.
"I have no idea. I only met him once and he was getting the crap beat out of him by Illyria."Conner said.
"But he remembers?"Buffy said looking at Andrew. Andrew nodded. She looked back at Spike and bit her lip.
"William?"she tried. He looked at her.
"Yeah- you do know me? Where are we?"he asked looking at the big buildings.
"Whats the last thing you remember?"Dawn asked.
"I-there was this woman. She followed me down an alley way I was-she-...I don't remember. We were talking and than- I was here surrounded by these things."Spike said. Buffy stared in horror.
"It might be long term memory loss. Due to stress or shock. He might have seen his team mates die around him and he may not have been able to take it so his brain rejected it and brought it back to a happier time. Or- a spell."Giles said looking fascinated wiping his glasses with a cloth again.
"We need to get him out of here the suns almost up."Xander said.
"Wait- he's a vampire?"Conner demanded.
"With a soul."Xander said quickly.
"Man does that get old."Conner muttered. Illyria stood up.
"Who are you people?"She demanded. Blood was dripping from her forehead and her inhuman blue eyes were narrowed.
"Friends."Giles assured her. "Friends of Angel."He said.
"Angel is dead. Wesley is dead. Gunn is dead. I feel grief. I feel pain.I want them back."she stated.
"I'm not sure if there is a way-"Willow began but Illyria ignored her grabbing Gunn hoisting him over her shoulder. "Come friends of Angel."she said walking off. They blinked.
"Come on Spi-William. Were going to take you somewhere safe!"Buffy said. The army of slayers followed Illyria all the way to the old hotel that had once belonged to Angel. They entered and Wesley's body laid on the ground.where Illyria dropped Gunn next to him. They had just beat the sun. Spike was looking around in wonder but he was gravely injured and Xander helped him sit down.
"I found this place in Fred's memories. It's suitable since we destroyed the wolf the ram and the hart building and Angel still owns this place."Illyria said unblinkingly.
"About time I saw a familiar- oh my god."said a voice. Out of the shadows Gwen stepped out and she looked at Gunn eyes wide.
"No- is he- no!"she yelled and grabbed an electronic device (L.I.S.A.) off her back than she placed one hand on Gunn's chest. A serge of electricity went through her into him. His body jerked. She did it again. Gunn gasped for breath. She put the electronic device back on and hugged Gunn tightly.
"I thought I lost you."she whispered.
"His brain might be damaged. In the old days when we used humans to feed amuse our pets or to play games with them and watch them kill each other for amusement we figured out a way to revive them. We would need electricity to start their heart back up, but sometimes their brain would be dead. We learned how to heal the brain so they wouldn't be more mindless then they already are. But we had to do it with in forty eight hours."Illyria stated grabbing Gunn's head and they both began to glow bright blue for a minute.
"Ugh- I'm fine Illyria really- but now it feels like my head's gonna explode!"Gunn cried.
"Who is she?"Buffy demanded looking at Gwen.
"I don't know or care. She brought him back and she will bring my guide back."Illyria said looking at Wesley.
"He needs help."Giles said looking at Gunn and ordered two slayers to bring Gunn to a hospital. They left immediately. Spike stared at Gwen wide eyed. Gwen walked over to Wesley and did the same thing. Once, twice, three times.
"WHY WONT IT WORK?"Illyria demanded.
"Sometimes there too far gone."Gwen said doing it a forth time. Wesley gasped for breath.
"He might have serious brain damage."Giles said.
"I told you I can fix that."Illyria said placing her hands on Wesley's head and did the same thing. Wesley winced and looked around. He looked at Giles and smiled.
"Thanks for coming."he said.
"Your welcome- your still injured you must be taken to a hospital. We will talk later."Giles said as another two Slayers quickly brought Wesley to a hospital.
"I'm in hell!"Spike said. They all looked at him. "I died in that alley way with the pretty girl and I'm in a hell where there are demons and people that look like people but aren't people at all- and hell has no sense of time which is why all the buildings are taller and the clothes are weird!"Spike said.
"Your very much still on earth."Giles said rubbing his temple.
"Angel."Buffy said tearfully. Dawn hugged her sister tightly. The room filled with a bright golden light where Cordelia appeared.
"Cordy?"said Willow.
"The shanshu prophecy has been full filled. One of the vampires with a soul gets to be human again."she said.
"Human?"Buffy echoed longing etched on every bit of her face. Cordy nodded.
"Only one?"Willow asked.
"Well I figure the other will get it too, after he does some more good."Cordelia said with a shrug.
"Man Cordelia you went from being a snob to being a goddess? What twisted world do I live in?"Xander demanded.
"Higher being-dead higher being."Cordelia corrected with a laugh and she concentrated hard on the ground Angel's body appeared unmoving. "I've restored him but he's still a vampire."Cordelia said looking drained."Alright electric girl this is where you zap him,that will start his heart making him human, and Illyria I want you to concentrate hard on getting the vampire out of him. I heard your kind could do that."Cordelia said. Illyria nodded.
"My kind often separated demons who were cursed into human bodies, If I could I'd do it to myself."Illyria stated. Gwen took the L.I.S.A. off once again and put her hand to Angel's chest while Illyria grabbed his hand her eyes rolling up into the back of her head muttering a low incantation. Willow watched in wonder. Angel's eyes snapped open and he gasped for breath as something black traveled out of Angel. Illyria was holding the black substance and dropped it as it turned into what looked like Angel except with slightly longer hair.
"Wait a minute what the hell is that?"said Xander.
"I took the demon out of the vampire. The soul now has a body and the demon has a body. I separated the two. It is what you wanted."Illyria said.
"You mean that's Angelus?"Giles said looking at the other Angel who stood up and growled.Gwen grabbed an old tranquilizer gun and shot Angelus with it. He fell to the ground unmoving. Angel stared wide eyed and confused.
"Still loaded!"Gwen said with a victory smile.
"Why not just stake him?"Conner demanded.
"Conner? Buffy?"Angel said.
"You didn't think I'd just leave you to die did you? I'm your son, stubborn and always thinking I'm right. Which I was right."Conner said crossing his arms. Buffy hugged Angel tightly.
"Angel and Angelus could be connected one dies, the other dies. We don't know for sure yet. they have a cage down the stairs to store him in. I was gone the last time he was Angelus but I heard it wasn't pretty."Gwen said. Angel stood up slowly.
"I'm breathing."He said. Cordelia smiled. Buffy put her head against his chest to hear his heart beating. She smiled and kissed him. Angel leaned into the kiss. Conner smiled and looked away.
"Get a room!"Xander said with a smile.
"But how?"Angel said looking at Cordelia and he blinked. "Cordy?"He said.
"Can't stay long champ. Basically it's the shanshu prophecy full filled."Cordelia said.
"But I signed away the prophecy!"Angel said. Cordelia laughed.
"Like that matters?"she said.
"Were going to the beach."Buffy said grabbing Angel's arm and pulling him towards the door.
"But what about-"
"Everyone is fine!"Buffy stated.
"But-"
"You deserve some happiness Angel."Giles said as Buffy dragged him out the door.
"Hey my father's human- cool."Conner said.
"There finally together, and happy. They both deserve it."Cordelia said with a smile washing away the jealous look she had been holding. She looked at Spike.
"His memory will come back and you can restore him to being a human the way we just did now, or mixing his blood with some type of demon, Angel knows. But don't rush. Don't try to do it. You will know when. He still needs to make up sins- and don't tell him. Make him lose hope. The powers want to see if he will fight the good fight believing there is no hope of him ever becoming human- he wont remember this conversation by the time he gets his memory back anyway."Cordelia said. They nodded. Cordelia gave her friends a hug, kissed Conner on the cheek, and she faded away.
"UGH!"Spike yelled spitting out a candy bar."In hell even the food tastes disgusting!"he cried. Gwen put the L.I.S.A. on her back.
"That's because your a vampi-"Andrew started but Conner covered his mouth.
"It's not smart to tell someone who does not know what they are that. Trust me. A spell went wrong- magic usually goes wrong, and my father thought he was sixteen again. He found out what he was and tried to kill us all."Conner said.
"A little help?"Gwen said dragging Angelus. Xander grabbed his feet and they brought him into the cage down the stairs and set up the video camera once again.
"How will we know if we kill Angelus it will kill Angel?"Xander asked Giles once they got back upstairs turning the TV on.
"We may be able to look it up in a book."Giles mused.
"Why does Spike not have his memories?"Illyria asked.
"We don't know. But he should get them back."Giles said rubbing his glasses a second time.
"He is my pet."Illyria informed them. Xander choked, Dawn giggled, and Willow and Giles both stared and Giles for a fourth time cleaned his glasses.
"Your pet?"Dawn asked.
"I told Angel I wanted him as a pet. He gave no reply, so he is now my pet."Illyria said. The scoobies exchanged looks.
"Well there are tons of rooms here for all you slayer girls, have a look around."Gwen said.
"Yes, we might be staying a while."Giles said.
"Considering Angel is all human. Oh! This is so romantic!"Willow said happily.
"William? Your not in hell you just lost your memory."Dawn said making Spike sit down he was badly injured. Spike held his head.
"I'm thirsty."he said.
"Do you think Angel has anything left in the fridge?"Willow asked.
"Only one way to find out."Xander chimed opening the fridge. It seems their was an emergency supply of blood in there to last for days. Xander poured some into a cup and put it in the microwave.
"Two vampires with a soul, get the gift of becoming human. Nice. Now once Spike gets his memory back he's going to freak about Angel and Buffy."Xander muttered.
"She loved them both. Angel was just her first love."Dawn said. Xander handed Spike the drink.
"What is that?"he demanded.
"It's juice."Xander said.
"It's to thick to be juice!"
"Alright it's chowder you got me. Trust me, it's uh medicine chowder- you need it."Xander said. Spike looked at him and put the cup to his lips. A hunger built up inside him as the blood hit his tongue and he began chugging it hungrily, wanting more. He hadn't even realized he was now in his vampire form, drinking the blood hungrily.
"So gross."Xander muttered.
"This stuff is great!"Spike said.
"It's going to be a long day."Dawn muttered. A few slayers came down holding Lorne by his neck.
"We found this! Should we kill it?"
