(Dissolve to a white light and whisperings that resolves into a shadowy chamber.)


(We hear a scream and Angel drops into frame to land face down on the floor beside a cube with a fire burning on top.)

ANGEL: Thanks Lorne.

VOICES: It is come. The champion is come. (Angel gets up, looks around.) Come for what? Answers not to be had. Death is certain. Death awaits.

ANGEL: I wanna talk to the conduit.

VOICES: We are the conduit. We are the gateway, the all the time, the ever. It wishes to speak to us.

ANGEL: Yes, it does. Are you gonna show yourselves?

VOICES: We are unseen. Formless. It speaks unknowing. Send it away.

ANGEL: I'm not going anywhere until I get my message to the Powers That Be. My friend, Cordelia, has visions given to her by the Powers. They're killing her. I want the Powers to take them back. Let her go. She's suffered enough!

(Angel flies across room, smashing into wall.)

VOICES: Suffering? Does it know suffering?

(Angel flies back, smashes into opposite wall.)

VOICES: Yes it does. The Powers owe nothing. Send it away. Send it away.

ANGEL: I'm not finished.
