(Angel and Fred are walking outside between some low boulders.)

FRED: I've never been to the palace before. I've seen it up there, on that hill, watching me.

ANGEL: We just gotta find my friends. (Two soldiers on horseback charge them.) Get down. (The soldiers swipe at them with swords.) Look, you may see something that might frighten you, but I'm your friend, okay?

(Angel fights the guards. He morphs but instead of his usual vamp face appearing the morph continues until his whole face turns green and bumpy, framed by some almost
horn-like protrusions, while his hands turn into claws. Then he literally rips a guard apart. The other guard flees.)

FRED: (cowering) Bad things always happen here.

(Angel approaches her, then scents something and dashes off.)
