(note: the following scene happens entirely in Angel's head)

BEAST: I grow weary of your cowardice, Angelus. If you will not stand with me, then suffer the agony of my wrath. (looks at the sword) Is that what I think it is?

ANGEL: (to the others) Go. (the others bolt to the weapons chest) No! Get out of here!

CORDELIA: No!

ANGEL: (fighting the Beast) All of you. I can't do this with you here.

(Gunn and Wesley grab Cordelia and leave the hotel.)

CORDELIA:No, Angel. (is taken out of the building by Wesley)

BEAST: (looking at where Angel cut him with the sword) That stings.

ANGEL: Not as much as it's gonna.

BEAST: We could rule this world. Why do you oppose me?

ANGEL: Rain of fire, blocking out the sun, and you just kinda piss me off.

(Angel charges at the Beast with the sword. They fight.)

BEAST: Doesn't have to be this way, Angelus.

ANGEL: I'm thinking it does.

(the Beast breaks the sword in half, has a strangle hold on Angel)

BEAST: Did you really think you'd win?

(From behind, someone hits the Beast with a battle-axe. It's Connor.)

BEAST: The boy joins the father in death.

CONNOR: No, in kicking your stony ass.

(they fight)

BEAST: Such arrogance. So much like Angelus.

CONNOR: His name is Angel.

(Just as the Beast turns toward Angel, Angel thrusts the broken sword blade up through the Beast's head.)

ANGEL: Consider your ass kicked.

(The Beast glows red and turns to dust before their eyes. The black magic blocking the sun dissipates, and the sky is back to normal.)

CONNOR: Dad.

ANGEL: You came back.

CONNOR: Like I'd let you take all the credit for saving the world? You're right. It is harsh. And cruel. She was the only thing that made it hurt less.

ANGEL: Connor...

CONNOR: But it's not me. I could feel it in her touch, in her eyes. She loves you. It's always been you.

ANGEL: I'm sorry.

CONNOR: (smirks) She was too old for me anyway. Is this what it feels like, being a champion?

ANGEL: (smiles) Pretty much.

(Cordelia, Lorne, Wesley, Fred and Gunn come back into the lobby.)

CORDELIA: Connor? Oh, my God! (hugs Angel) You did it.

ANGEL: We did it. All of us. Now, could one of you do me a favor and, uh, (points to the pile of dust that was the Beast) sweep that up?
