Angel’s sword slices the first demon’s head clean off and leaps into the air. The dragon swoops down and Angel grabs onto it. The dragon Flies Angel up and out of site.
Spike: Right. Run towards the army of scary demons.
Spike Vamps out and leaps at three demon warriors. Illaryia Looks to Gunn Who is still sitting.
Illaryia: Can you fight.
Gunn: Let’s find out.
Gunn slowly stands up sword in hand. He and Illaryia Charge at the demons. The three fight. They kill several demons but more and more come. At this point they are bloody and beaten.
Spike: (Still fighting) Ya know this whole fighting to the death thing?
Gunn: (Still fighting) Yeah?
Spike: (Still fighting) I’m beginning to not like this plan.
Gunn: (Still fighting) Got a better one?
Spike: Yeah, How bout we run?
Gunn: Not running.
As Gunn cuts down a demon, another cuts into Gunn’s shoulder. He screams in pain. Illariya Jumps to his side. She grabs the demon and rips it’s head off. She marches forward and continues her attack.
Gunn: I thought it over. Running’s good.
Spike: (Still fighting) We need to regroup. We’ll have a better shot.
Gunn: (Still fighting) What about Angel?
Angel And the Dragon plummet straight down into the ground. Angel’s Sword lays in the dragon’s side. Angel is Bloody and beaten as well. Angel looks up at spike and gunn.
Angel: I slayed the dragon.
Spike: Good, now get the damsel.
Angel: (Getting up) What?
Spike: Grab Illaryia, We’re running.
Angel: Says who?!
Spike: Says what’s left of your crew.
Gunn: Angel, Spike’s right. This doesn’t have to be the end. We regroup and take em all out.
Angel: (pauses) You’re right. Head for the sewers. Illaryia!
She turns to him still fighting.
Angel: Come on We’re falling back.
Illaryia: No. I will not flee.
Angel: You can’t take them all.
Illaryia: Watch me.
Angel: We don’t have time for this.
Spike: No problem.
He takes a pipe from the ally floor and hits her hard over the head. She winces in pain and turns to face spike angrily. Spike puts the pipe in angel’s hand and points to him.
Spike: He did it.
There is a clanking sound and Illaryia falls. Gunn stands behind her with another pipe.
Spike: Thanks mate.
Gunn: No Prob.
Angel: I’ll grab Illariya. You get Gunn.

Act One
INT. The Sewers – Night
Several Demon Warriors rush past the Camera. Angel watches from a crack in the doorway on the side of the tunnel.
Angel: I think they’ve past.
Spike: Oh good, then all we’ve got to do is go back the other way and sneak past the other 300 demons. It’ll be a real walk in the park.
Angel: We’ll lay low in here for a while and hope they move on. How’s Gunn doing?
Gunn Lays bleeding on the floor. Spike is leaning over him.
Spike: Pretty banged up. We need to get him to a hospital fast.
Gunn: I’ll be fine dog, just need to catch my breath.
Gunn starts to rise but angel puts a hand on his chest and lowers him back down.
Angel: Stay down. Rest.
He stands up and turns back towards the door. Illaryia is standing there. Angel jumps in surprise.
Angel: Geez! Don’t do that!
Illaryia: You knocked me on conscious.
Spike raises his hand.
Spike: Um, actually that would be the mortally wounded chap on the floor.
Angel: you couldn’t take them all and we need you in one piece if were gonna get out of this alive.
Illariya: I do not run from battle.
Angel: It’s not running from battle. It’s falling back and regrouping. Deal with it or don’t. But I need to make sure my people make it out of this alive.
Spike: To be fair I’m not your people. He is. (Points to Gunn) So what you meant to say was “make sure my person gets out of this alive.”
Angel and Illariya turn to look at Spike with mild annoyance.
Spike: What?! I’m just trying to be technical is all.
Angel: Illaryia you need to decide right now. Stay and help or go out there and get killed.
Ilaryia: (Pause) I am not pleased.
She turns from Angel and walks into the corner.
Spike: Nice to know you care.
Illaryia: (angrily) I do not. Care. I will stay and protect you for wesley’s sake. It is what he would want of me. And I feel I owe him a debt.
Gunn: Oh and you being you is just gonna overlook your demon god complex and step up for the team.
Illaryia: Wesley was a brave warrior who did not run from battle. He died fighting. That I respect. And So I will recognize and repay my debt.
Angel: Fine, as long as you listen and do what I say.
Illaryia: I will comply. For now.
Angel: Good. Now we gotta think of a way to get past the army outside waiting to eviscerate us.
Spike gets up.
Spike: Hey, It got kinda quiet.
He goes to the door and places his ear to it.
Spike: I don’t hear anything, I think they’ve gone.
The door crashes down on top of spike and several demons pile into the room. Illariya immediately takes out three of them as Angel And Gunn try to hold their own. Spike gets up holding the door and swings it into a nearby demon. He then joins Angel who has just killed his third demon. Gunn Slices the head off a nearby demon but another plunges his sword into Gunn’s chest from behind. He collapses.
Spike: Gunn!
He snaps the neck of the demon he is fighting and leaps after the one who stabbed Gunn. He punches the demon hard and the demon returns in Kind. Illaryia finishes off two more demons and grabs the one fighting spike. She holds him still.
Spike: Thanks love.
He takes the demon’s mace and slams it into his head. The demon collapses dead. Angel Stabs the remaining demon in it’s chest and jumps over it’s dead body to Gunn. He kneels by his side. Spike leans over with a concerned look on his face. Illaryia just stares.
Angel: Gunn….
Spike: Stupid question charlie boy but you okay?
Gunn: Stupid answer but never better.
He coughs up blood.
Angel: Spike help me pick him up. Illaryia’s keen on fighting, she’ll lead the others away while we go the opposite way and get gunn to a hospital.
Gunn: No, I ain’t makin this. Go without me, you’ll have a better shot at makin it.
Angel: We’re not leaving you.
Gunn: It’s too late for me Angel. Just do me a favor. The senior Partners.
Angel Nods.
Gunn: Show them what hell really is.
His eyes go wide and he slumps to the floor.
Spike: And then there were three.

INT. Sewers – Night.
Angel Just stares quietly into the distance.
Spike: Angel.
Angel just stares
Spike: Angel, We gotta get goin, they’ll be more of em on the way.
Angel: Right. Let’s go.
The three of them leave the room and turn right. At the end of the tunnel is the army of demons. They charge at the three heroes who take off running. They come to a fork in the tunnel with the demons several paces behind them.
Angel: You two go right.
Spike: What about you?
Angel: I’ll be fine just go.
Spike: (To Illaryia) Come on big blue time to fly.
Spike and Illaryia run down the right tunnel as Angel fishes inside his Jacket. He pulls out a small orb and smashes it on the ground. He runs down the tunnel toward spike and Illariya as smoke billows from the shattered orb. When the smoke clears an image of Angel, Spike and Illaryia stands there. As the demons approach the images run down the left tunnel. The demon’s follow them. Angel gets to the end of the Tunnel. Spike and Illaryia are nowhere to be seen.
Spike: Up here!
Angel looks up to see an open manhole with spike peering down from it. He leaps onto the ladder and climbs up.
EXT. Alley – Night
The rain continues to pour down as Angel climbs out of the manhole and covers it.
Spike: What the hell was that back there?
Angel: A gift from Wesley. Before we split up I had him set up a couple spells and tricks in case.
Spike: Good for us then. Now what?
Angel: We can’t go to the Hyperion, that’s the first place they’d look.
Spike: and we can’t fight them with just the three of us. If you wanna fight an army you need another army. Or a shiny piece of jewelry.
Angel: That’s it.
Spike: Hey, I already said I’m not wearing any amulets.
Angel: No, Andrew.
Spike: Yeah, Andrew can save us. He’ll take on the whole lot single handedly. Are you insane?! Actually it’ll be kinda funny to watch.
Angel: No. Andrew said they had an entire army of slayers right?
Spike: Yeah, thanks to willows mojo.
Angel: We need an army, they have one. We head to rome.
Spike: Are you nut’s? They think we’re the bad guys remember?
Angel: We’re gonna have to convince them otherwise.
Spike: And how are we supossed to get there? Our resources are gone remember? No coorperate jet? And unless you know someone with a spare coorperate jet just lying around, we’re screwed.
Angel: As a matter a fact I do. But we’ll never make it on foot. Those demons won’t be fooled for too long.
Spike: No problem.
He runs over to a car parked nearby and smashes the window with his fist. He unlocks the door and gets in. He pulls out wires and begin’s to cross them. Suddenly the engine comes to life.
Spike: five dollars for the first mile, three fifty each additional.
Angel get’s into the front and Illaryia goes into the back.
Spike: Road trip!
He floors the peddle and rams into a demon.
Lorne: (OS) Owe!
Angel: Lorne?
Lorne gets up from the ground. He is bloody and cut up.
Lorne: Thanks that’s just what I needed.
Angel: What are you doing here, what happened?
Lorne: Well-
Spike: No time, we got company!
The army of demons appears behind them and takes chase.
Angel: Get in!
Lorne Jumps in the back and they take off with the army chasing them.
Spike: What happened to don’t look for me I won’t be found?
Lorne: I tried to leave but it looks like the senior partners want all of us. A group of demon’s jumped me. They worked me over pretty bad till I hit that high note from loving you is easy. They screamed in pain and I ran. I was on my way to the alley, when I ran into you. Or rather you ran into me.
Spike: Sorry about that chief.
Lorne: No problem just drive!
Angel: For what it’s worth Lorne, I’m glad you’re here.
Lorne: Well I’m not. No offense.
Spike: Where we headed Angel.
Angel: The Nabbit building down town. David Nabbit’s a friend. He’ll help us.
Spike: Right I know the place.
Lorne: How?
Spike: Oh they have this great demon brothel like a block away.
They all look at him.
Spike: Hey I couldn’t touch anything for over a month and when I finally could Harmoney tried to kill me remember.
Angel: Shut up and drive.
The demons begin to catch up. Several Demon knights on horses appear on the right side of the car.
Spike: Uh, Angel! What now.
Lorne: Whatever we do let’s do it fast. Just don’t hurt the horsies okay.
Angel: (to lorne) Don’t worry we won’t. (To Spike) Aim for the Horsies.
Spike turns the wheel violently and Rams the horses. The knight fall off and are left behind.
Spike: I could swear I’ve done this before.
Lorne: You’ve run from an invincible demon army before?
Spike: Just one of the perks of livin in good old Sunnydale.
A demon leaps of his horse and lands on the roof.
Lorne: Angel!
Angel: I’m on it.
Illaryia: No, I wish to fight.
She smashes the back window and crawls out and onto the roof. The demon takes a swing at her and she ducks. She comes up and delivers a roundhouse kick to the demon’s chest. It catches her foot and pulls. She goes down on her back and twists around. The demon flips over and get’s back up. Illaryia stays down just staring at him. The demon looks at her confused and the straight ahead. His eyesgo wide as his face slams into the top of a tunnel. Illaryia holds onto the roof.
Spike: Hold on, I’m gonna loose em.
They come out of the tunnel and spike makes a sharp left. Spike continues to make sharp turns until he comes to the train yard. Spike races to beat OUT a train with the army closing in. they make it over the tracks just as the train passes and the army is stopped.
Spike: So much for the army of darkness. Next stop, a rich boy’s penthouse.

A woman in a very expensive suit walks over from the elevators. She shakes Devlin’s hand.
Kylie: Mr. Devlin, I’m Kylie Thorpe. I’ve been sent by the senior partners to find Angel and company.
Devlin: Well, If the senior partners chose you, I’m sure you are quite capable.
Kylie: That I am sir. I won’t rest until Angel has been found.
Devlin: Excellent. Please report back to me when you’ve made progress. Know that you have the full support of Wolfram And Hart behind you Ms. Thorpe.
