Lindsey cautiously entered Wolfram and Hart, as burning debris collapsed around him. He held a hand up, covering his face as he headed towards Harmony’s desk, doing his best to avoid the flames and falling slabs of metal and concrete. He reached the desk, seeing the Vorax sword still there, untouched by the fire. He picked the weapon up, amazed at its coolness, before heading back towards the door. A rumbling sounded out, as a large slab of concrete came falling through the ceiling. Lindsey dived out of the way, narrowly avoiding the concrete, before reaching the door

Illyria slammed her fist into Wesley’s face, as he struck her back. She recovered swiftly from the blow, landing her fist on his jaw, as he uppercutted her. Stumbling back, Illyria smacked his leg aside and punched him in the ribs. He groaned, elbowing her in the face, before punching her just below her rib cage, throwing her onto her stomach. Illyria got to her knees, grabbing Wesley’s leg as it came back, before throwing him onto his back. He rolled to his feet, as Illyria straightened

Wesley fired a magical blast of energy, catching Illyria in the chest and throwing her back several metres. She landed on her back, groaning in pain, as Wesley walked over to her, grabbing her by the throat and lifting her up onto her feet

“Don’t die so early, Illyria. That would spoil the fun”

Illyria smacked his arm away and did a right hook, followed by a right crescent kick. Wesley stumbled back, as Illyria grabbed him by the shoulder, facing him completely and driving her fist into his face again and again. After the fifth punch, Wesley caught her fist and struck her elbow. Illyria refused to cry out in pain, as Wesley kicked her along the road. Illyria got to her feet, as Wesley headed over to her, but then Spike appeared beside him, his game face as he punched Wesley

“Spike, getting back into the game, are we?” he asked, “I thought you were tired”

“Oh no, mate, I’m back in the game!”

And with a vampiric roar, he charged at Wesley

Angel blocked Gunn’s several punches, before landing one of his own, as Gunn hooked him, following up with a kick to the stomach. Angel hit the wall, dodging Gunn’s fist and elbowing him in the ribs, before smacking his face into the wall. Gunn growled, as Angel pulled him away and did a roundhouse kick, spinning him through the air. Gunn got to his feet, whirling around and blocking Angel’s punch, before striking him, but then Angel flicked his wrist, a stake shooting out of his sleeve. He stabbed at Gunn’s chest, but the vampire grabbed his wrist and snapped the stake off, as Angel punched him. Gunn stumbled back, as Angel grabbed the stake and raised it. Gunn caught his arm, before grabbing him the throat, roaring in his face

“You’re not gonna win this one!” he snarled

“We’ll…see about…that,” Angel choked out

He broke out of Gunn’s grip, before ramming the stake into his chest. Gunn gasped, removing the stake from his chest, as Angel stepped back, breathing heavily. He had purposely missed Gunn’s heart. The vampire growled, before running off, as Angel grabbed his fallen sword and headed back into the fight

Spike punched Wesley, before ducking under his backhand, as Illyria kicked as his chest. He blocked the move, before stopping Spike’s fist and kicking him in the stomach. Illyria struck Wesley in the face, as he sank his fist into her stomach, before slamming his elbow onto her back. Illyria hit the road, as Spike landed a kick on his face, before punching at his gut. Wesley blocked the move and punched Spike, as Illyria got up and tried an uppercut. He stepped back, as Illyria stepped forth, but he placed his hand on her stomach, shooting a blast of energy into her and firing her through the air. Spike snarled and punched, but Wesley blocked, as the tendrils grabbed Spike by his limbs, lifting him into the air

“Let’s fly”

Using his power, Wesley began to fly off into the sky, as Lindsey exited Wolfram and Hart, carrying the Vorax. He saw Spike being taken away by Wesley, before heading over to Illyria who was watching them

“We must hurry”

Dracula beheaded a vampire, as another vamp punched him in the face. Dracula growled, his eyes blazing as he reduced the vampire to dust. Kate blocked a fast medium-high kick, as the vampire punched her in the face. He then went to punch her again, but she staked him before he got the chance. Oz stumbled back from the vampire’s punch, but he recovered in time to ram the stake through the vamp’s heart, as Connor slammed a vampire against the road, staking him, before grabbing his sword and beheading another vamp. Cordelia decapitated a vampire, as another vampire snuck up behind her, raising a sword ready to swing towards her neck. However, he was turned to dust, as Angel staked another vampire, before whirling around and beheading a third vampire

“What the hell is that?” Dracula said

Wesley flew into view, before throwing Spike onto the road, as Illyria and Lindsey showed up, the latter carrying the Vorax sword. The remaining vampires scattered, as Wesley landed before the group

“Hello all”

“Wesley?” Oz and Kate said at the same time

“No way. It can’t be,” Angel said, “You died”

“Yes, I died and now I’m back. Just like Cordelia”

“Hey, the Powers That Be brought me back,” Cordelia said

“Now I have the power to take this world as my own,” Wesley continued

“Oh, I don’t think so,” Lindsey said

Spike got to his feet, as Lindsey threw him the Vorax. The blond vampire caught it and whirled around, slicing at Wesley’s back. The former Watcher had anticipated the move and teleported out of the way, throwing Lindsey and Illyria aside with his tendrils

“Well, here we go,” Angel said, “It ends here, Wesley”

“Yes, I was hoping you’d say something like that”

He struck Angel with an energy blast, shooting him through the air. Dracula was the first to move, slashing at Wesley, who grabbed a shard of wood and rammed it into Dracula’s heart, reducing him to dust. Oz was the next to strike, as Wesley threw him into a building wall with his tendrils. Cordelia and Connor attacked at the same time, but Wesley blocked with his tendrils, before shoving them back, as Illyria kicked him in the back. He whirled around, as she ducked under his fist and grabbed his shoulders, driving her knee into his face. He stumbled back, as Lindsey swung his sword. Wesley caught the blade and ran it through Illyria’s torso, before kicking Lindsey in the face. Spike slashed with the Vorax, as Wesley backhanded him, throwing him into a wall

Mist transformed into Dracula, as he grabbed his sword and stabbed as Wesley. A tendril took the sword from Dracula, as another tendril smacked him aside. Angel ran at Wesley, bringing his sword down overhead, but Wesley punched him in the stomach, before sending him flying with a punch to the jaw. Cordelia slashed at his head, as he ducked under the blade. She whirled around, slicing at his legs, but he jumped over the blade, kicking her in the face, as Kate drew her handgun and fired three rounds. Wesley raised his hand, slowing the bullets down with magic, as Lindsey came at him. Wesley threw him aside, before firing the bullets back at Kate, but Lindsey jumped up, taking the bullets for her instead, before dropping

“Oh God no!” Kate cried

She dropped down to his side, as Illyria slammed both her fists into his back. Wesley whirled around, shooting her through the air with a magical blast, before catching Oz with his telekinesis and throwing him. Spike and Angel attacked at the same time, fighting simultaneously, but Wesley was able to avoid their moves, throwing them away with his tendrils. Dracula stabbed, as Connor sliced at his head. Wesley smacked Dracula’s sword away, before catching Connor’s blade and punching him in the stomach, sending him sliding along the bitumen

“Connor, are you okay?” Cordelia asked

“Yeah, I’ll be fine”

“I think it’s time to finish this,” Wesley said

He began gathering all of his power together, as his glowing bodily energy started to grow, getting brighter and covering his entire body in a large white glow. Kate moved Lindsey away, before helping him with his injuries, as Cordelia joined them. Wesley was hardly visible in the glowing energy, as Angel and Dracula moved towards them. Wesley saw them and blasted them back with energy. Illyria appeared in front of him and punched him, spinning him around to face Spike. Wesley swung his fist, but Spike ducked and drove the Vorax sword forth, impaling Wesley right through the same place where Cyvus Vail had stabbed him. The energy surrounding Wesley fell in upon him and exploded outwards, covering the city in a large white light
