Joshua the Rogue, 1st blog post

                                                   Prologue


It is a different world, in a hell on earth kind of way. There are vampires, werewolves and Devil knows what else out there. Although calendars are not in heavy circulation, it should be a couple decades into the 31st century. There is no more society like I used to know. I was born in the year 1976, yes I am old but not immortal, at least I hope not.
 I killed a demon, barely. The demon is the father of all evil on this earth.  There are those that fear me, hate me, and worship me. There are some that are weaker than me….those that are stronger. I am not evil, despite my methods but I sure as hell ain't no angel either. They fight dirty, you’ll find out what I mean. enough about me…..
Vampires and werewolves were always here just  well integrated. But that was going to come to an end. They initially came together to enforce a plan to remove us from our reign over this world.  Nuclear winter would block out the sun long enough for the vamps to create a new global society. It was planned out to drive some of the survivors underground for food storage. The rest would be day workers for them. But by the time the sun came from be hind the radiation clouds these humans would know no other lifestyle.
The werewolves fell into the scheme basically as the watchers of the day workers. But the vampires assured them they would have equal respect and rights under their reign. Let’s just say the wolves didn’t trust that. The alphas of several greater tribes decided to enlist the help of a demon . This demon was great power in his own right. He possessed knowledge of a spell that he told the wolves would cause eternal night. This would benefit the wolves, though the vamps would walk the earth as well, the wolves would be physically peaked . With the free will to transform at will, which can only be done at night.
Now the only one that had the knowledge and power to participate in this spell was a warlock. Contrary to belief Warlocks are not breed of evil they have free will to choose their moral destiny. The demon was only part of the spell, it needed certain elements. The werewolves approached the warlock with an offer to be in the new society as a savior and looked upon as an equal. He refused fore he was not evil and felt that a world of vamps or wolves ruling is only hell. The wolves of course were upset, and being the lykan they are… They expressed them selves. 
    Problem is when fighting a warlock brute force doesn’t work the first magics they master are physical
protection, augmentation, and preservation based.  In other words, they got their asses kicked.
The warlock also was familiar with the spell they wanted done. This spell actually merged the demons dimension with ours, the eternal darkness was just a side effect.
It is a forbidden and ancient spell even among evil immortals. It calls for human sacrifices with the presence of a demon. It is intended for the demon present would be deemed ruler of the “New World”. The spell is unstable and misleading with various contradictions.
    Now when the demon heard this he of course took it upon himself to convince the warlock. Thinking he would surprise him when alone with his “expecting wife”. The demon told the warlock he would kill his family. Knowing the spell calls for 3 sacrifices and one heir he made a quick decision.
    The spell was a choosing spell, one benefactor from numerous sacrifices. A last survivor spell, was bestowing great abilities of darkness, while opening an eternal pathway to Hell. It is said that a fledgling demon created this spell, that is why it is flawed and not advised. It is unclear of the dark powers that allow it to rule. Some say it is a power that is hidden  within the chosen that gives him the ability to kill any immortal being. Only a true high level demon would know how to use this power from within. Also there is no backdoor to this spell, no reversal known.

The demon struck the woman down while standing over  body he turned to the warlock. The demon thinking he was one over the warlock got overconfident has they usually do. He made a promise spell. If  I die by the hands of anyone in your family they shall posses my powers. The warlock had a twisted grin. Knowing he was powerful but no match for a higher demon, he sent his unborn child to a unknown woman, not even he knew. Telling the demon this he also spoke “even though you have killed us my blood still lives on…” the spell…was incomplete.
9 months later I was born healthy but with a birth defect that would leave me scarred. No bones broken, no illnesses. No big events are weirdness…until. I was attacked by Reznar, the demon had been searching for 23 years to complete the spell.

He didn’t care who was around he wanted me dead, would have succeeded if he hadn’t spoke my father’s name, Wilson. My warlock essence, that laid dormant, surfaced. Along with the knowledge of a spell cast long ago. Se dad sent me to a virgin, being born through a virgin gave me a unique purity. The blood of the pure can destroy the children of fire. So I cut myself then plunged it into Reznar. Then all hell broke loose…really.

First of all I am now demon/warlock, powers of both with no knowledge or guidance. I am still figuring out a lot of things. In 1999 the world grew dark then…..they came. With them horror, terror, genocide…..and hope. Yes the world was over running with vamps and werewolves, even some demons came over. But the spell was not done correctly, the demon should have lived solidifying the dimension bridge. I was human, kind of, it was temporary but the darkness was not. The demons that are here are stuck. The vamps and wolves ravaged the world, no longer lining in secret.
War spread over the world nuclear weapons were launched only helping the enemy. Battles lasted for years. Eventually humans were picking sides….. Which one to surrender to that is. Most chose vamps the rest werewolves. The others were so few they scattered into hiding. A new society was in the plans for the entire world. Then came the “heroes” swarms of angels covered the earth to seek out the demons that now roam the earth. The battles between the demons and angels was worse than the humans battles. The vamps joined the demons in their fight and, soon after, the lykanes.  They lost………..the angels lost. The they left. After which the demons inherited the earth but gave it to the vamps to manage. Demons are the gods while the vamps are the kings with their own countries and states. Some places are similar to a human society with culture technology and structure. Others are a wasteland. The wolves for showing up late have their place also.
That time referred to as “The Nightmare Wars” lasted from beginning to end…100 years. I lived and fought during that war it is over. Truly. All I want to do is live……..until I figure out how to die.






Now The Story………………………

17 November 2023

Chapter 11: Fight

Back to the battle laced streets Walter is fighting a Knight Guard, they are repeatedly clashing swords and dodging each others sword swings. 

Walter with a slight smile addresses the knight, 

“I know you, you are Henry. I see you stuck with your training.”

Henry, “ Unfortunately for you, yes. Now traitor, I will destroy you. 

He charges towards him with his sword held high.

Walter with a menacing look, “did you train for that as well?”

Suddenly his wings rip through the back of his clothing. He jets towards Henry tackling him. They crash through a wall of a small building nearby.

Seconds later a large winged figure covered in darkness shoots from the roof. Walter is fully changed into a giant humanoid save his face. He has large fangs, his eyes are large and red. His hair is ruff, long and shaggy near his ears, which are oversized and pointy.  He is holding Henry with large clawed hands by his shoulders, tearing into his armor pads.

Henry, “By the accursed Savior how did you accomplish this?! Only the Imperial or older have the ability to manage this and that is not a guarantee!”

Walter morbidly replies with , “Hate”

He then swoops down towards the streets, seeing Alex cutting the head of a Imperial off his shoulders. 

Walter yelling to Eric, “One more for the barber chair, Master Eric!”

Eric turns silently, responding by preparing himself in an offensive stance.  At that moment Walter  throws Henry directly at him. Using his swords Eric slices Henry in half from head to pelvis. The halves fall to the ground. Eric looks up at Walter flying off and diving into another area of this war zone.

“very good, then”

Six figures emerge from the darkness of an alley. They are all cloaked with black robes, faces hidden from sight. They appear to be coming from a hidden doorway. 

A familiar voice speaks, “Stevens, you ready for this?”

Stevens lowers his hood, “When am I not Daniels? But can we say the same for present company?”

A slender figure in a robe unveils a young face. He has a bald head, light tan skin with an eye patch over his left eye.   

“Lt. Apostle Franklin is always ready sir. As is his comrade and student.”

Vaan removing his hood, “Are you gonna talk like that the whole time? Calling yourself by your name and rank?” 

Franklin looking at Vaan, “How else would Lt. Apostle Franklin refer to himself, young ward.”

A large figure and a short figure remove their hoods as well. The taller figure is of an obvious muscular build. He has long slim dreads tied in a pony tail, that trails down into the back of his robe.  

The smaller figure is a female with her hair also pulled back into a ponytail, except for two long locks hanging on either side of her clean pretty face. Her skin is light brown, she is very attractive but her eyes seem very determined and serious.

Tall figure, 

“Sirs can we just join in and crush some devil dogs and black crows? Me and Jenkins here are ready.”

Daniels, “Hold on a second Lt. Jackson, you and your student Apostle will have plenty to do out there.”            

Stevens is motioning for everyone to follow him, He darts across the street as it is clear for a moment. They all follow him. As they duck into a dilapidated building, a vampire grabs Jenkins by the arm, the last in the group.

Vampire, “got you little girl.”

She turns and faces him with out a word.

Vaan sees this and  begins to aid her. Jackson stops him and directs him to look at Jenkins and the vampire.

As Vaan looks, he sees how she handles the situation.

The vampire grabs her other arm and picks her up.

Jenkins shakes her head slowly in a no motion, then several blades raise from her arms and slice the vampires hands into several chunks. As she is dropped to the ground she sweeps the vampire showing another blade raised from the back of her calf, chopping his legs at the calves.

The vampire is screaming in agony until Jenkins grabs the bottom of his chin extending a blade from under her wrist punching through the roof of his head.  She stands and retracts all the blades and walks inside.

Vaan, “Wow.”

Daniels, “look we fight only vampires out here. The wolves are attacking them so to help lower the number of the vamps that is what we will do as well.”

Stevens, “Yes, but our main objective is to make sure the human casualties stay at a minimum.”

Franklin, “Lt. Franklin will make sure to save any civilian in harms way.”

Jackson, “Yeah any vamp in my way is gonna get wrecked.”

Jenkins only looks on saying nothing her focus is outside with the battle.

Vaan, “Wait, there may be two allies out there that should not be attacked, one is Master Saint the other is, well” 


He stops trying to find a word to describe Joshua.

Daniels continues for him, “Well, we all know Sir Saint, he may be with a strange companion, that is quit unique so don’t piss him off.”

Jackson, “He better not piss me off, sir.”

Stevens, “Okay Lt. Franklin your team hit the square we will make our way to that.”  

He points at the light  surrounding the amphitheater. 

Haven crashes into the stone wall of the theater. he falls down to his knees on the floor. Luscious looks on with no expression on his face.

Haven using his sword as a crutch to stand up looks at his father.

“Is that all you have, the mighty luscious, hero of the Glory Wars?"

Luscious, “It would benefit you to stop now son, you cannot win.”

He looks at Melissa. “Did you think this tramp could help you defeat me?”

Haven jumps at Luscious, “I do not need any help!”

Swords clash, it is Eric fighting with an escort of an Imperial.

Eric, “Come now you can try a little harder than that can’t you?”

He is angering the vampire. Wildly swinging at Eric he dodges with a step and slashes his back.

Eric, “That was good, let’s try again shall we? Now this time not so wild.” 

Voice, “No need for such disrespect mutant.”

Eric lowers his sword, “What did you call me?” 

He turns his head and eyes away from the vampire to see.

Lt. Franklin, “yes I know who you are. The one called Eric the mutant.”

Eric turns completely to face Lt. Franklin, I am at a disadvantage, you are?”

Vampire shouts, “do not ignore me!”

Eric throws what looks like dirt on the vampire, “I am done with you." Suddenly he is covered in flames. Screaming in agony as he is turned to ash. 

Lt. Franklin, “you are being addressed by Lt. Apostle Franklin. Your disrespect to your opponent is unacceptable.”

Eric, “I am sure that the vampire was not a friend of yours, maybe you just feel like dying today.”

Lt Franklin, “Lt. Franklin is not going to die by your hand today. Although he will teach you combat etiquette.” 

Eric puts his hand inside his deep trench pockets, 

“I suppose i will have to rip that other eye out your socket. that way you can watch yourself die.” 

Pulling his hands out they seem to be made of steel.

Lt. Franklin speaks calmly, “begin.”

Eric rushes towards Lt. Franklin then disappears. Lt. Franklin looks to the left then to the right to be met by Eric punching him in the chest sending him to make an indenture in the wall several feet from them.

He lands still standing against the wall. Eric comes at him again this time he strikes him in the jaw, making him take a knee. 

Eric smiling at the results watches Lt. Franklin spit blood to the ground.


“I suppose i will be taking that eye out now.” 

He is reaching for his eye as Lt. Franklin upper cuts him sending Eric flying back at least a dozen feet crashing into and destroying a cart full of barrels. 

Lt. Franklin is a few feet in front of him in an instant, “I apologize for my previous behavior. I had to see if you were strong enough. It is greatly looked down upon to fight another human, especially one with such an obvious handicap.”

Eric is getting up moving the debris out of the way.

“But you are obviously not with us. Even so i had to make sure you had some what of a sporting chance to survive my attacks.”

Eric looking angered, “a sporting chance, handicap? Bitch, i will fuck you up!”

He grabs two metal rods from the cart. he throws them straight up into the air. Just then he reaches into the bag he used to make fireballs, he throws the powder in the air. Flames engulf the rods. 

Lt. Franklin looking at the flames growing in size floating in the air above them, “Lt. Apostle Franklin is impressed. It is taking shape and growing in size. You posses the powders of Empress Lee.”

Eric looking at him, “What do you know of them?”

Lt. Franklin with his eyes on the giant flame that is now the shape of a giant bird, which is drawing the attention of nearby combatants. some of them run some walk, but they all make room.

“The powders Of Empress Lee, wife of the most powerful Warlock ever to walk the earth. We a very educated, Lt. Apostle Franklin knows of this very well.”

Eric raises his hand, “good for you, now burn!”

The flaming bird flies directly at Lt. Franklin, he does not move.

Just before it reaches him he utters,” initiate.”

The bird of fire engulfs him in flames.

Eric, “well i didn’t get your other eye but defeat is defeat.”

Lt. Franklin from inside the flames, “Indeed it is, Lt, Franklin agrees. although he is not defeated.”

Eric, “what the hell?”

Suddenly steam starts coming from the base of the flame the bird is shrinking and turning to mist.

Lt. franklin is now visible in the remains of the flame.

“I suspected that your bird of flame was no where near the temperature of one that the Empress herself would have done.

The value of the magic is based off the value of the wielder.”

Eric, “shit.”

He suddenly falls to his knees and places his fists on the ground.

Lt. Franklin, “Do you surrender so soon,a brash warrior such as yourself?”

Then suddenly Walter swoops in from behind Eric . Lt. franklin evades Walter then notices Eric is gone.

“wise decision.”

Saint is fighting  his way through mainly avoiding the many separate fights going on. He is also making sure small children on the street are not getting harmed. 

Joshua is still standing amidst the battle when Saint spots him.

Saint approaches him, when he spots the copy he looks at both of them, “I see you are full of surprises, now which one is the real you?” 

Copy, “How’s it going Saint, ready to smash some heads kiss some girls?” 

Saint looks at the real Joshua, “so what’s the plan, how long do we have?”

Joshua, “ I plan to stay out of the way. We got maybe thirty minutes, if that.”  

Saint is looking at the theater, “I see.”

Melissa is heading towards the stage while haven and Luscious continue fighting, with Luscious getting the best of him.

She reaches the pedestal and places her book on it.

“A little longer Haven, last a little longer.”

Luscious kicking Haven through wooden seats, “i am holding back son and you still have no chance. Give up, i will only imprison you for fifty years. Instead of the hundred the law calls for.”

Haven barely can stand on his own , “keep your charity, i am going to end you father.” 

Luscious shakes his head, “delusional”  

Scene changes

Venturnio and James are fighting and leading a group of citizens into alleys away from the destruction and mayhem.

As the last few disappear into the alley Venturnio is knocked down.

Pastor Sergeant. James looking at Venturnio, “Sir, you okay?”

Venturnio, “Guard yourself Sergeant!”

Stephanie catches James with a kick that raises him off the ground and he falls face down on the ground.

Stephanie and Cindy stand before them as Venturnio stands ready picking up his rifle.

Cindy, “They smell delicious sister.”

Stephanie appears behind Venturnio and stabs him then kicks him over beside Sgt. James.

“They taste good as well”, she says licking the blade.

SGT. James is helping Lt. Venturnio to his feet, as he holds his bloody side, “Looks like we have a situation here sir.”

Stephanie and Cindy are smiling slowly walking towards them.

Venturnio picking up his gun and pumping the barrel, “let us teach the children a lesson shall we? Even if it be our last class.”

James pulls a wide blade sword out from his side.

Both sisters jump towards the duo with blades ready to strike them down.

Swords cross with loud clangs, it is Jonathan Vaan and Student Apostle Jenkins blocking the girls attack. Vaan has a blade in one hand and the other end of his staff in the other  in an “X" position, holding Stephanie at bay.


Vaan, “Sir, you don’t need to be bothered with these snaggle tooth bats. You are a commanding officer, let us take care of this.”

Venturnio takes a slight breath of relief, “As you wish my good boy, me and the Sgt. shall be on our way.”

Sgt. James aides the LT. into the alley, looking back at the two but saying nothing.

The two sisters jump back to assess the new situation.

Vaan, “I notice you came in with the wolves, which means you are fighting the vampires of the city.”

Cindy, “so, what of it?”

Vaan reaches to loosen his robe while talking, “You were better off attacking just the vampires.”

He throws the robe to the ground and reveals his full costume. he is dressed in all black Military uniform with a grey chest guard. He has his sword strapped to his left hip, there is another sword strapped to his back with the handle upside down extending from the right side. he still has his staff in his hand but the blade is back into it’s sheath.

Stephanie, “Well, well now sister. Isn’t  he sexy and young.”

Cindy licking her lips, “i wonder if his girlfriend will join in on this action?”

Jenkins makes a motion to approach when Vaan extends his arm to stop her from advancing. 

“No this will be just you and me ladies.”

Michael is chasing a small family, consisting of a mother carrying a small child with another running along side her. He is jumping onto and off walls pursuing them.  They are obviously terrified trying to get away from him, barely ducking swings of swords and claws.

They run into a half fallen down brick building. Michael is directly on them, cornering them. he is snarling and growling at them as he slowly approaches. the woman and children embrace each other as if saying goodbye for the last time.

“Excuse me, big black hairy and ugly.”

Michael turns around to see LT. Jackson standing there in his robe hood covering his face.

Michael, “You will be next, shit head.”

LT. Jackson removing his hood and fanning his nose,

“Oh boy and you stink!” 

While Michael is distracted the woman escapes with her children. Michael notices the escape and jumps towards Jackson. 

Michael landing a few feet from Lt. Jackson, “Now you will take their place, hero.” 

Jackson, “Gladly.”

He punches Michael sending him knocking down the back wall he had the family trapped against.

Jackson takes his robe off and throws it away. 

Revealing a huge muscular chest behind a plain blue sleeveless minister shirt. Blue and black military pants with black boots. His arms are bare except for his forearms wrapped with blue cloth much like a boxer. On his shoulders are tattoos of a Lion’s head.

Michael gets up shaking it off and beginning to charge Jackson. 

Jackson, “Are you seriously expecting to accomplish something with this wild animal bullshit your doing?”

He grabs Michael by his neck when he jumps at him. Jackson is a big man but Michael is clearly dwarfing him but cannot get loose from his grip. 

Michael grabs Jackson’s head and opens his mouth wide as if to bite Jackson.

Jackson, “Really, now your gonna try to eat me? Your joking, right?”

Michael, “Infestation.”

Suddenly a swarm of insects erupt out of his mouth and attacks Jackson making him release Michael. Jackson is distracted by the insects and is blind to see Michael charging at him. 

Jackson explodes through the wall outside of the building causing it to completely be destroyed now. Jackson is on the ground still trying to get the bugs away from his face.

Michael, “Now who is doing animal bull shit?”

We now see Daniels and Stevens making there way through the battle by kicking and slashing through Vampires that happen to get into there path.

Stevens, “Almost there, have any idea how we gonna handle this one?”

Daniels putting a vampire in a headlock and twisting it off then dropping it. “Me? Your the level headed one.”

Soon they close enough to see Desmond and Gerald. They are standing with arms stretched in front of them forming the field along with several other shaman  around the stadium. 

Stevens, “okay it seems like the two right there are blocking the entrance so they are the key to getting in there.”

Daniels, “okay, what level you think we should go to?”

Stevens, “they are holding a field up with flying Ingrets swarming around it, what do you think?”

Daniels, “whoa, settle down, a simple ‘i don’t know’ would have sufficed Capt. Apostle Stevens.”

Stevens, “four let’s go four, authorized level four augment granted.”

Daniels, “granted.”

they both have different segments of there armor glowing in blue and orange for Daniels, red and green for Stevens.

Desmond, “Seems we have visitors approaching Gerald.”

Gerald without turning his head, “Seems we do Desmond, shall i or would you like the honors?”


Desmond, “It’s been so long let us both take the honor, the field is stable enough now, our brothers can manage without us for a few minutes.”

They both step away from the field after putting their hands down.

Daniels, “Did you say a few minutes? That was a bad guess pops.”

Stevens, “I see you are here against the vampires of this city.”

Gerald, “We have no quim with these vampires, nor do they with us.”

Desmond, “As if it were your business humans, we are her strictly under the words of our Priestess.” 

Daniels, “Either way we see, me and my partner here, no reason for us to fight you, if you do not wish to harm any humans here.”

Stevens, “Yes indeed what you or your Priestess do with Luscious and his court is of no concern of ours, but the humans are.”

Desmond looks at Gerald then back at Stevens and Daniels, 

“That can be respected human, we have no wish to harm anyone human or not. We are not warriors we are Shaman, bloodshed is not our way.”

Daniels, “Good then it is settled, now if you just stand aside while me and Stevens go inside and we will be on our way.”

Desmond and Gerald extend there left hands and their staves appear in their grip.

Gerald, “that we cannot allow.”

Desmond, “You may not enter as long as the Priestess deems not to be disturbed.”

Stevens looking inside past the field sees Melissa on the stage. he taps Daniels and points in that direction.

Daniels, “She is your priestess? I guess the standards for Priestess are way down these days.”

Desmond and Gerald eyes start to glow white. 

Stevens, “That’s it, I’m putting in for a new partner.”

Gerald, “Vines of steel, grow from the earth.”

Suddenly tangled steel forming a huge vine wraps around Stevens and Daniel’s feet. traveling upward wrapping around their legs.

Desmond, “Sand grains of rock,cover them.”

Daniels, “I think we might have went a stray with the peaceful talks.”

White sand seems to be covering them and hardening as it rises towards their heads.

Just before it covers both of their faces Stevens speaks, 

“Now would be good, Daniels.”

Daniels, “Initiate.”

they are both completely covered in cement with steel showing wrapped around their feet.

Desmond and Gerald look at each other then all of a sudden the two hills of cement and steel cables explodes sending debris flying in their direction.

Daniels wiping himself off, “that was pretty darn good pops.”


Stevens pulling his hammer and chain blade weapon out, 

“yeah for a minute I didn’t think we would have to go up a level on you.”

Daniels pulling out his sword, “granted, we are not part of the wolf division, but i think we can handle you two.”

Gerald, “Desmond are you tired of hearing their voices as much as I?” 

Desmond, “I am.”

Daniels, “Eat a dick!”

Daniels stabs the ground with his sword.

“Spike trail!”

A line forms on the ground moving from his blade to the wolves feet, then suddenly Blades extend from the ground. The wolves barely jump in time.

Stevens, “gotcha.”

He swings his hammer at the air in their direction.

“Air hammer!”

a crashing blast of air comes from his swing knocking the wolves into the field. An Ingret notices them crashing into the field and swoops down.

Desmond looks up at the Ingret with cold white eyes. The Ingret retreats back to circling the coliseum.

Daniels, “Nice even the Ingrets think your ugly.”

Gerald and Desmond stand up and put both hands on their staves and extend outwards vertically.

Gerald, “rumbling wind, rage with crashing furry.”


A spiral of wind blasts the two Apostles with rocks crashing into them with the force of a small tornado behind it. It is knocking them back and down, every time they rise they are knocked back down.

Desmond and Gerald pick both of them up by their necks. the wind is still blowing strong but the rocks have stopped. 

Desmond, “We are not warriors we are shaman we have the power to stop conflict before it occurs, you humans have crossed ones such as us for the first and last time.”

We see Joshua and his copy talking amongst the chaos.

Copy, “You are so dull. I think it should be my turn for a while.”

Joshua, “Is that what you really want?” 

The copy turns his face away from Joshua.

Joshua, “I thought not, you know i am better at this.”

Copy, “Well, have it your way but I won’t become them, I still have a heart. Even if you try to ignore it.”

Joshua looks around seeing humans fleeing in fear, mothers clutching their children  while trying to avoid danger.

Copy, “that’s it.”

He darts off leaving Joshua alone.

Several wolves are fighting the knights. the knights are dressed in black and red armor without helmets.  the wolves are advancing forcing them to back up. One of the vampires grabs a kid and throws him towards the wolves.

Just before the child reaches the jaws of the lead wolf Joshua catches him. 

wolf, “Out of the way!”

Joshua still holding the child kicks the wolf that spoke sending him crashing across the street. He looks at the vampire that threw the child, then vanishes. Reappearing near the family, he hands the child over to mom. 

Vampire Knights are now four to two against the wolves but they are injured. 

Vampire Knight, “You there, aide us in dealing with these mutts!”

Joshua walks over to the location, he is standing in between both the Knights and Wolves. The wolves growling an the vampire Knights shouting. he is blocking the noise from rm all around him and hears nothing.

Joshua’s eyes begin to pulsate as he looks left then right he says, “Shut up.”

Both charge towards the other with Joshua in the middle. Large wolves at least eight feet tall stomping towards him on one side, swiftly moving vampires with swords on the other. 

he holds both hands up towards either side, “Get back.”

suddenly an invisible force pushes both parties back. The wolves crash into other parties, breaking through walls until they end up outside of the city in a pile of rubble blood, broken bones and fur. They are not moving. The Vampire Knights suffer a similar fate crashing through many walls of buildings with blood splattering out of them with each crash until their bones and flesh crash against the final building.

Joshua looks at the field then down at the theater, “Okay.” 

He begins to walk.

Vaan is fighting both sisters dodging attacks and giving as well. he is not being over powered but yet is not gaining the upper hand.

Jenkins in standing watching but visibly fighting the urge to join the fray.

Vaan notices, “Don’t even think about it.”

Cindy, “Your girlfriend wants to have fun too, you should let her.”

She jumps back along with her sister, they are now standing beside each other.

Vaan, “She is not my mine.”

He pulls his blade from his staff.

Stephanie, “Oh is he serious now sister? He pulled is long hard weapon out to use on us.”

Cindy, “Is it show an tell now?”

Vaan, “ No, play time is over. Seal release two and four.”

Symbols under his sleeves and pants legs begin to glow through the fabric. 

Jenkins looks on silently. But no longer seems to want to join in she is taking a more relaxed pose.

Stephanie looking confused, “What is that..?”

Vaan reaches her before she can finish her question. he slashes her eyes then just as quickly he is cutting off  both arms then round house kicks her away from them.

Cindy looks but can’t react in time to stop Vaan from stabbing her straight through with his blade. 

Vaan is eye to eye with Cindy, “Family is important so i will give you the favor of dying with your sister.”

He pulls his sword out and spins around to chop her head off. 

His blade is stopped in mid swing.

Jenkins is blocking his blade with the blade on her forearm. Vaan looking as if to ask why. Jenkins looks at Cindy, she is crying. 

Stephanie from a distance, “Cindy, Cindy, sister are you okay? Help me sister i am lost, please don’t leave me alone.”

Cindy fearfully looks at Vaan, He puts his blade down nods his head.

Cindy runs over to Stephanie and kneels beside her. “I am here sister, i have you now.We’re together still,you’re are okay.”

Stephanie crying from her scarred eyes, tears mixed with blood, “It hurts sister, so much. I don’t like this pain of losing you sister. Is this what we do to others,do we make them feel such loss?” 

Cindy holds her close and looks across at Vaan and Jenkins without answering. 

Michael is now standing with one foot on Jackson’s chest. 

Jackson’s face is scarred from the insects. 

Jackson, “I suggest you get your paw off of me Michael.”

Michael, “How do you know me?” 

he picks Jackson up and slams him against the ground then back up against a wall , pinning him there.

Jackson is coughing as if the wind is knocked out of him. 

Michael, “Speak, How do you know me?”

Jackson, “we make it our business to know the shit heads and assholes.”

Michael, “Stupid, very stupid.”

Jackson, “Yes you are, Lion Crest.” 

His tattoos on both shoulders begin to glow.  He grabs Michaels arm with one hand squeezing his wrist, forcing him to release him.

Jackson, “Our orders were to keep humans safe, not to defeat the assailants of the vampires. Do not think for one moment your fuck head ass is a match for me on any level. I am a member of the Golden Division, you know us as the wolf hunters. The private army of  Sir Saint Colonel of Golden division.” 

Several claws extend from the back of his hands. He stabs Michael in the stomach and slams him down on the ground several times.

Michael, “Bitch.”

Jackson upper cuts him with his claws fully extended leaving Michaels head resting atop the blades.

Haven is landing on the stage near Melissa. bruised and dirty, barely holding on to his sword.

Melissa, “I think you have done enough lover.” 

Haven struggling to get up sees his father slowly approach him. 

“No, i can do this.”

Melissa goes over to Haven trying to help him up.

Haven, “Thank you my precious love, I will keep him at bay.”

Melissa, “No need, I am done with you.”

Haven, “What ...did you say?”

Melissa stabs him through his back with a long wooden spike.

He falls down limp. She looks up at Luscious with no fear.

Luscious stops in front of Haven and looks down for a moment.

“The only thing in between you and I is no more child. What do you plan to do to stop me?”

Melissa backs up to her book resting on the podium.

“Me? Nothing.”

Suddenly Wayne crashes in through the same kind of hole the wolves came through earlier. He is towering over Luscious in his wolf form snarling and drooling at him.

Melissa, “Him on the other hand, i think he will do a lot to stop you, your highness.”

Luscious, “I am ascending this wolf is nothing. “

he swings his sword at Wayne. Wayne stops his arm, Luscious looks surprised.

Luscious, “What is an Alpha doing here?” 

Wayne, “No, I am Chief Alpha Wayne of the Grey Wolves and you shall not harm the Priestess while i live.” 

he throws Luscious half way across the theater landing in rubble.

Luscious, “I see. A Chief Alpha, you are very troublesome at the moment.”

Wayne roars and begins to charge Luscious. 

Luscious calmly speaks, “attack.”

Suddenly a dozen vampires in Silver armor emerge from all sides seemingly from nowhere. They begin to attack Wayne stopping his charge. stabbing and slashing at him. Then together they punch him sending him flying landing in front of the stage in front of Melissa.

Melissa, “fuck, it’s the silver guard. i thought they were out of the city.”

Wayne, “they are all on the level of an Imperial, but i will keep you safe, just finish it.”

Melissa, “merge’, soulum, darkness. merge’, soulum, darkness.”

Luscious begins glowing with yellow aura while floating,then moves towards Melissa who is also glowing but not floating. 

Luscious, “what the hell are you doing,you little bitch?!”

Melissa, “The same as always, getting what i want, right now, it is your power. it will destroy you but not before i take your it all without the heartless side effect.”

She walks closer to him carrying the book, “I stumbled upon this spell by accident. It is old and difficult, but i know i can pull it off.”

Luscious, “So this attack on my city and being involved with Haven?”

Melissa, “All part of a big distraction from my real target, You.”

Suddenly the field drops and a loud thunderous explosion blows the front walls away and kills the shaman surrounding it. 

Daniels and Stevens walks in the arena. 

Daniels, “knock, knock.”

Stevens walks in with Desmond and Gerald on the ground , “Sorry about your old guys.”

Daniels, “Yeah we tried to be nice to the elderly but they were just too salty acting."

Wayne is being piled on by the Silver Knights he sees his Father and Uncle laid out. He let’s out a huge growl.

Daniels, “I think these were his old folks."

Wayne throws the Knights off of him and begins charging towards the Apostles.

Stevens, “Shit."

Right before Wayne gets to them he stops at the point of a sword. 

Daniels, “Well if it isn’t Sir Saint."

Saint with his sword extended, placed at Wayne’s throat, “hello young officers, we meet again."

Stevens, “Excellent timing Sir, as always." 

Daniels, “What about them?” 

He points at the Silver Guard as they are moving towards them.

Saint, “Well i am busy at the moment.”

Wayne is growling at him and starting to circle but can’t advance past the blade.

Stevens, “Okay no problem, we got this, right Daniels?”

Daniels, “Well. it is twelve imperial level vamps heading towards us we aren’t authorized to or able to match that much power and speed.”

Stevens looks at him.

Daniels, “Yeah we got this.”

A voice from behind them all, “No, i got this”

Before the apostles can turn to see who it is, a wind passes between them heading towards the Knights.

The knight seemed to be getting torn apart by nothing. Then all of a sudden Joshua stands in front of their mangled bodies.

Joshua pointing at the Knights, “Mass grave”

The ground swallows them up.

He then looks at Saint and appears behind Wayne. Grabbing him and tossing him towards Melissa, causing her to run and dodge. Luscious is still floating.

Daniels, “Wow, he is on our side right?

Stevens, “He better be.”

Joshua walks over to the group, “Now that was the shit, right?”

The Apostles are looking confused. 

Saint, “Indeed my light hearted friend.”

Joshua speaks form off sides, “Showing off, as usual.”

Copy, “whatever, it’s time for me to go anyway. I think you guys can handle it from here.”

Saint, It’s been a pleasure sir, do come again.” 

Copy, “of course it was fun, see you around Jerome.”

He disappears.

Daniels and Stevens, “Jerome?”

Joshua with his back to them, “don’t ask.”

Melissa, 

“i hate you Uncle, all of you. When i complete this spell i will finally be strong enough to kill you all!”

Stevens, “Yeah, okay.”

He shoots his crossbow at her.

The arrow is zipping through the air.

Joshua looks on as the arrow penetrates Luscious’ skull and explodes, decapitating him.

Daniels, “I should of just shot her.”

Stevens, “Bitch or not she is still human, and we are scarce enough.”

Daniels, “True, still should have though.”

Melissa, “No, no, no. Wayne my Love get them.”

Joshua and Saint start to fade away.

Daniels, “Already?”

Melissa, “Wayne what are you doing to them?”

Wayne, “Nothing.”

Joshua, “Time for us to go.”

Saint, “If i were you gents i would go to.” 

a loud horn sounds over the city. 

Wayne stands and begins to walk away.

Wayne, “Priestess that is the call we must return to the village.”

She says nothing he looks at the Apostles and jumps out of what is left of the theater.

Daniels and Stevens have a light on their right hip that flashes and beeps.

Stevens, “Let’s go Captain.”

Joshua, quickly giving the only smile put on his face this whole time, “Good luck Mel.” 

He and Saint Disappear.

Melissa, “Fuck you.”

CHAPTER 10: PARTY CRASHING

Eric is standing on the edge of a building, he is looking at a building collapse in on itself and the dust rise suddenly. He is wearing a rough looking back pack with ornaments hanging from it. A cross bow is on his hip and a blade resting on the sides of both boots.
Walter walks over to him, “Well someone is having some fun aren’t they?”
Eric turns to him, “Let’s hope their fun doesn’t interfere with ours, eh?”
Melissa calls them over to her and the rest.
Haven begins speaking to them.
“Okay the proctor should be taking the stage and right after that my father will begin his speech.”
Michael, “So when do we do this? When will everyone be distracted enough for us to get into the coliseum?”
Melissa looks at her brother , “Distracted, brother?”
She does a little smile, “We are not sneaking in, Eric has us shielded from any eyes that’s how we got this close.”
Michael,
“yeah but any closer and all those Knights and upper class will know we are here.”
Eric and the others look at Michael.
Michael confused, “What?”
Stephanie giggles and Cindy speaks, “It seems no one bothered to tell you this part of the plan.”
Stephanie, “We aren’t sneaking in.”
Walter,
“We are the diversion kid, while the true attack readies itself to approach.”
Melissa,
“yes Michael, we have to give the signal to let them know we are in.”
Michael, “So what’s the signal?”
Haven and Melissa look at Eric.
Eric smiles, “Ah yes the signal.”
He walks near the edge facing the coliseum only several yards away.
He takes his pack off and reaches in pulling out what looks like dirt. He slaps his hands together while rubbing the dirt inside.
Eric, “Ignite!”
He has flames enveloping both hands. He makes a circular motion with both hands as a ball of fire forms.
Michael looks on, “ What the hell?”
Eric has formed a huge ball of fire. He sends it towards the coliseum. And starts shaping more fireballs only smaller, near basketball size.

The stage at the coliseum a few minutes earlier.
Luscious takes the stage, as he is walking on stage, the crowd stands to greet him.
Luscious, “Sit my friends, sit. I have waited so long for this day, if my beloved were here it would be that much sweeter. In a mere moment, my maturity will reach that grand plateau of the vampyr.
Just then the ground begins to shake slightly but not enough to disrupt anything.
Luscious, “Small tremors, well the price to pay for a good location.”
The crowd slightly laughs.
Luscious,
 “I can feel it now starting to grow inside of me. The pure power that comes on and instantly grants you strength that dwarfs your previous stage.”
He misses a step but doesn’t fall.
“It truly is amazing, soon it will be done”
Just then the huge fireball Eric threw lands right outside the coliseum. Causing an explosion and sending some guards flying engulfed in flames and screaming in pain.
 The audience is unsettled, then the smaller fireballs begin to rain down on the audience. Several are caught others are running.
Luscious, “What the fuck is going on?!”
He turns to the knight guard behind him.
“Don’t stand there like stone gargoyles, go! Go destroy whoever that is, now!”
Eric, “I’d say that was a good start.’
Michael, “a good start?!”
Haven, “Get moving, the guards will be here in moments.”
Everyone scatters except Michael and Eric, they are cut off  by two guards.
Eric, “Looks like we have been found out pup.”
Knight, “Hunter, isn’t this something? A reject and a loser.”
Stanley, “well Aaron I can’t tell which is which.”
Michael, “No more.”
Eric, “hmmm, I think the boy is finally getting it, you fellas might wanna back up, way back.”
Michael breathing harder and harder, “No more, no more.”
Stanley, “What the hell is this wolf dick talking about? No more what?”
Michael fully transforms into a fully matured were wolf. His fur is thick and black, with a blonde streak down his back.
Michael, “No more of this, shit!”
He rips one apart with his claws and jumps on the other and uses his jaws to rip him to shreds.
He is roaring and snarling.
Eric looking at Michael, “You still with me little fella?”
Michael stops, looks up, “I’ll kick you ass later.”
He runs and jumps off the building down to the streets.
Eric walking to the edge looking down, “you wish, blondie”
Out of the corner of his eye he sees something flying towards the coliseum.
Down on the streets there are vampires rushing the area at least two dozen.
Melissa stands before them alone, “All this for little me? I am flattered, but I’m already taken boys.”
Atop the wall on another side of the city we see Chad and Teresa  jump up heading towards the center of the city.
As they land on what is left of the Washington monument.
Chad, “it seems young Luscious is busy at the moment.”
Teresa, “Indeed, love but I see something over in that direction.”
Chad looks with Teresa, they are looking at Melissa in front of the vampires.
One of the vampires facing her speaks, “you weak flesh bag, you are not alone, who else is here and has the nerve to attack with the Lords of these lands within the city walls?!”
Melissa, “Me, but your right, I’m not alone.”
 She touches her amulet from the Grey Wolves.
Suddenly several portals open up with wolves pouring out.
The vampires are caught off guard.
“What the hell?!”
The wolves begin tearing the vampires apart overwhelming them with their numbers and ferocity.
The Imperial and there personal chaperones are still inside the coliseum, standing looking towards the fight out side of the coliseum.
A tall man looks back at the other royalty.
“Well seems we are going to get a little dirty today.”
A woman somewhere among the royalty, “So it seems.”
Then the hundreds of upper class and personal escorts empty the coliseum and head towards the wolves.  The two swarms clash in a bloody, loud mess with fangs, fur and blood flying.
Teresa and Chad are still looking.
Teresa, “I like that girl, too bad she is a human, but that can be corrected”
Chad, “true my beloved, I wonder where that scoundrel is?”
Teresa, “there.”
 she points  close to the fight on the streets. Saint is jumping from roof top to roof top.
 Saint he is thinking to himself.
Saint, “Okay that doesn’t look too good up ahead.”
He stops to see the streets below filled with wolves and vampires fighting.
Vampires are ripping heads and arms off the wolves and the wolves are mutilating vampires as well.
Saint, “Well I must say young one, you know how to kick up a ruckus.”
He notices some humans running trying to get to safety.
Two kids are running across the battlefield, it is a boy, maybe a teenager and a younger boy maybe eight. They try to avoid everything going on around them. They run into a wolf, he is looking down at the boys. They start backing up slowly. The wolf readies to jump on them. They are backed to a wall, they hug each other and close there eyes. The wolf jumps and is sliced in half from behind. It is Saint with his sword covered in blood.
Saint, “I think you can open your eyes now.”
The boys open there eyes, then look scared and close them again.
Saint, “What’s wrong?”
He turns to see three wolves running towards him. He stands ready to defend.
As the wolves are getting closer he is tightening his grip and clenching his teeth.
Then loud gun shots ring out all three wolves fall and slide to his feet, dead.
Saint looks to the source of the gunfire to see. Pastor James and  Lt. Venturnio.
Venturnio, “You actually thought we weren’t gonna be in this fight?”
Saint smiles and gives them a casual salute as he runs off in to the fight.
Pastor James and Lt. Priest Venturnio continue fighting , shooting and slicing wolves and vampire alike.
Joshua lands amongst the battle on his back.
Joshua sits up slightly and looks around at what is going on.
Joshua, “Wonderful, I am not getting mixed in this shit!”
Zykrel lands a few feet away from him.
Joshua, “Bout time, you got here.”
Zykrel, “Still full of humor before you die.”
Joshua gets up completely dusting himself off.
“Buddy, I am far from dying, and again, I wasn’t talking to you.”
Then a hand comes out of Zykrel’s arm, alarming him. A foot comes out of his left foot. He is screaming in agony, too much to speak. Eventually his whole body explodes with  pieces landing all around.
The  Copy is left standing there.
“I hate that damn spell, my dry cleaning bill is gonna be high.”
Joshua, “There isn’t any dry cleaners.”
They walk up to each other  looking  around at the battle going on.  After a brief moment of silence.
Joshua, “I’m not getting in it.”
Copy, “come on, we gotta.”
Joshua, “No we don’t,
I already did the travel chant, we are leaving in a few moments.”
Copy, “Plenty of time to have a little fun, what could happen?”
Just then a big explosion of red light erupts and is surrounding the coliseum. There are huge winged creatures circling in the light, when wolves or vampires get close they are destroyed by the flying beasts. The Joshua pair look at each other.
Copy, “Didn’t see that coming”
Joshua says nothing.
Over at the coliseum Haven, Melissa, Desmond and Gerald are standing inside the field.
Melissa has the large book under he arm.
Melissa, “Great can you hold this field here for me?”
Desmond, “Yes, priestess.”
Melissa, “Good, come on Haven.”
They walk towards the stage the coliseum is huge there are many stairs leading down to the area with the stage.
Luscious is on stage with the proctor and the orchestra.
Luscious, “I should have known, I am not surprised by this at all.”
He turns to the band and motions for them to leave, then the proctor. They move with haste off of the stage and out of sight.
Haven, “Father, your time has come. I am sorry.”
Luscious, “You are in deed sorry son, but not the way you profess.”
He is walking slowly off the stage towards the team of usurpers. He does not seem to be unnerved at all.

19 June 2012

CHAPTER 9: "KNIGHT GUARD"



We see on top of the grand skyscraper, Joshua, Saint, and the five vampires that have discovered them. They are the same vampires that confronted Haven and his colleagues.
Zykrel, “I am the lead of this arm, I am Zykrel. We are the personal Knight Guard of Lord Luscious.”
Joshua pulls his hood off of his head and his eyes begin to glow brighter.
Geran finishing the statement, “and you scum are dead meat.”
Saige looking at Joshua, “This one here looks to be a little pissed off, his eyes are all looking glowy.”
Christopher, “Yes he looks upset indeed.”
Alex looking at Saint, in an angry tone he speaks to Christopher, “Is that who I think it is Christopher?!”
Christopher studies Saint, “I do believe it is.”
Joshua, “What the fuck do you want, lap dogs? I could give two shits about that ceremony.”
Zykrel  turns his head to his companions,
“looks like we found our dance partners knights, go”
Suddenly Geran and Saige pounce on Joshua with so much force they crash through the roof of the building.
Saint turns to pursue but is blocked by Zykrel.
Zykrel, “Oh no Sir, you have your own dance partners.”
He turns, then goes behind Joshua and the two vampire Knights.
 As he does a sword comes through Saints’ stomach from behind.
It is Christopher , he took advantage of the moment and ran Saint through. Alex is walking towards him slowly, with a dark solace look on his face.
Saint says to himself, “this won’t end well.”
Joshua is now falling through each floor of this ancient towering structure. As he is falling Saige is firing both guns at him, forcing him to crash through each floor even harder.
Joshua is facing them taking each blast to his torso and stomach, it seems. He folds into himself as he continues to fall.
Saige, “Yeah, this is good fun boys!”
Geran, “You are a crazy son of a bitch.”
Zykrel is trailing them , he changes position into a dive to descend faster.
Joshua crashes to the bottom floor, appears to be the basement with a loud boom and a slight shaking of the ground.
The Knights all land on their feet, gently.
The dust he unsettled, with his landing, starts to clear.
Joshua is on one knee, with his left hand on the ground and his right looks to be holding his chest.
Saige is holding both of his guns up in a rested position, they are smoking from the heat of the barrels. Geran is standing near him with his swords drawn ready to attack. While Zykrel is standing calm with arms folded, both his sword and gun are sheathed and holstered. He is a few steps behind them.
Saige, “Whew, that sure looks painful boy!”, he exclaims.
Blowing the smoke form the barrels of his guns.
Geran to Saige, “Dammit, I think you took the fight out of him.”
Saige, “Let’s hope not.”
Suddenly Joshua speaks, “Cowboy.”
Saige, “Hmm, you talking to me?”
Joshua is still looking down and holding his chest on one knee.
Joshua, “Yea you, Roy Rogers”
Saige points his weapons at Joshua, in a cautious manner.
Joshua, “You can have these back!”
He looks up at him and within an instant, he throws all the shells that were fired at him towards Saige. Before anyone can react Joshua heads towards Saige, as he is pulling the trigger on both weapons.
He grabs Saige and forces his Body to meet the thrown shells, then sits him in front of the shells he just shot, bursting his head completely.
Geran in shock, “What the fuck! Saige is gone man! Who is this fucker? I couldn’t even follow him! Did he just make him shoot himself? You’re my dance partner now, then.”
Joshua looks at Geran as he charges at Joshua with swords poised to swing.
Joshua, “your turn Leonardo.”
Geran, not getting the reference is angered even more that Joshua is so calm when he is speaking to him.
Geran, “I don’t know what the fuck you are.”
He swings at Joshua, He doges both swings easily.
Geran continues, ”Your too fast to be human, don’t wreak of shit like a wolf, maybe a  old ass vampire.”
Joshua grabs his hand after a missed swing and throws him towards Zykrel, who jumps out of the way, still not in an offense posture.
Zykrel is watching Joshua and says in a low voice, “Interesting, didn’t notice that before.”
Geran getting up and looks at his partner, “Do not get in my way, he will pay for that shit!”
Zykrel, “As you wish, I will not interfere.”
Geran as he goes towards Joshua, “good.”
Zykrel makes a statement out of ear shot, “No matter the outcome.”
We focus on Saint of the roof with Alex in front of him and Christopher holding his blade steady through Saint’s stomach.
Christopher starts addressing Saint, “Well, well. Sir Saint.”
Alex stops right in front of the blade protruding from Saints stomach, he is getting more angry.
Christopher holding steady,
“I guess the stories were quite embellished, wouldn’t you say Alex?”
Alex makes not a sound he is just staring at Saint.
Saint,
 “Is this the part where you gents say we can’t fight one such as I, out of respect?”
Just then Christopher pulls the sword out. As he does Alex back hands Saint’s jaw, sending him flying into the a building yards away.
Saint crashes thru the old concrete wall of this old world building. He is covered in dust and rubble.
As he moves a little he mutters, “It appears not.”
Saint Is suddenly yanked out of the rubble by the neck, it is Alex. He slams Saint against a wall making and indenture.
Saint is being held by his throat and is trying to get Alex’s hand loose.
Christopher walks in wiping the dust off he armor. He walks over to the two.
Christopher, “It seems he holds a strong grudge against you good sir.”
Saint squeezing words out while choking, “really?”
Alex lets out a slight grumble.
Christopher continues, “Yes, I appears you killed his only brother, just about 300 years ago.”
Saint is choking and is trying to speak but can’t.
Christopher pat Alex on the shoulder to signal him to loosen his grip.

Saint, “Sorry. Sure it was nothing personal, If that counts for anything.”
Alex suddenly punches him in the stomach and tightens his grip.
Christopher, “I don’t think it does.”
Christopher pulls out his sword, he caress the blade.
Christopher, “I sure expected more out of you, the deadly crazed Saint, destroyer of vampires and wolves alike.”
Saint, squeezing some words out, “I’m trying to be nice.”
Christopher, “oh? Is that what turned you into a traitorous, warm flesh loving little bitch?” Alex loosens his grip to let Saint speak again.
Saint, “watch yourself, boy. My pleasant attitude goes but so far.”
Christopher pointing to Saint with the blade of his sword,
“You are a disgrace to the title of knight. I am almost embarrassed to share the same title with you.”
Saint sternly, “Boy do not make the mistake of thinking you share that honor with me. You are just a delusional mercenary, I am a true knight of valor.”
Alex starts to squeeze his throat again.
Saint puts his hand on Alex forearm, “now, that will be enough of that.”
He snaps Alex arm off at the forearm. He screams in agony. As he does, Saint with great speed draws his sword and slices Alex’s head off.
The head rolls over to Christopher’s feet.
Christopher looking down in shock and angry watches the head turn to dirt, as does the rest of his body.
Saint, “I told you I was trying to be nice, but you did not heed the warning.”
Back at the other building.
Joshua is crouching on the side of a wall as if sticking to it with his feet.
Joshua glancing in that direction of Saints’ fight, thinks to himself, “Okay  he’s only got one left, So now I can show Leonardo some attention, and kill both of these clowns.”
He jumps right in front of Geran and grabs both blades with his hands.
Geran, “stupid.”
He yanks the blades cutting Joshua’s palms.
Joshua, looking at the deep cuts on his hands, “enchanted blades.”
Geran, “now, I will kill you.”
Joshua slapping both bloody hands together, “I thought so, good. I was hoping they could cut deep enough.”
He crouches suddenly and slams both hands down on the ground.
Zykrel sees this and jumps further from them.
Joshua with blood running on the ground, “curste’ wretched semrisa.”
As he says that his blood starts moving in Geran’s direction, coming together behind him.
Geran starts charging Joshua, “Fuck you”
He is almost at Joshua.
Joshua, “Reach.”
As he says that, clawed hands grab Geran’s feet. It is many of them dozens start sprouting up through the foundation all reaching. A couple grab Zykrel but he manages to get loose after shooting there forearms off at the elbows.
Geran is being dragged down through the foundation by the arms.
Geran, “What the fuck are you?!  You bastard go to hell!”
Joshua, “How about you just save me a spot, sweetness.”
Geran disappears under the ground.
Joshua is still crouched, he looks at Zykrel.
Thinking to himself, “Gotta be quick about this.”
The many arms are still sprouting, they are trying to grab hold of Zykrel, but he is not staying still long enough.

We now see a huge stage built in the middle of the city, obviously the place of the ceremony. There is an Orchestra playing music, there are horns and strings. One both sides there are a single set of steps leading to the stage. The recently constructed coliseum, is huge with no roof, it is of the likes of performances being held. The stage has stone pillars placed in it’s four corners, standing tall and thick.
People are being seated in the grand stadium by the dozens. Men and women vampires of royalty are being lead to there assigned places. Their escorts take there places near them. There are balconies, that are laced with dark red drapes that half circle the arena. Only the highest of caliber are placed in those booths.
Then a group of six knight guard, dressed similar to Alex and the others, take the stage and place themselves, three on one side three on the other. They are standing with swords planted blade down and both hands on the hilts. Their eyes are facing forward, their armor spotless and cloaks without single strand of lint.
Soon a proctor takes the stage and all noise settles, the orchestra and audience as well. He approaches the edge of the stage and begins to address the audience.
“Please, be seated honored guests, the time has come for the reason we are gathered here to arrive.”
The crowd whispers among themselves.
Proctor continues, “During the mitts of tragedy that befell this land and it’s people. The tragedy hurt my lord the most.”
He is walking slowly back and forth while still maintaining eye contact with crowd.
“My courageous Lord, even though going through turmoil with the disappearance of his betrothed and ruler of this great providence, managed to help us all by maintaining the responsibilities of his fair wife.”
He stops for a moment and combs the crowd, he continues.
“now after waiting so long for her highness to return to us, it is his time to reach the plateau the Vampyr, and take claim as an Imperial, both physically and in political aspects. Now let us begin.”
Swords clash violently, it is Saint and Christopher dueling blade against blade. They are damaging the area around them by fighting wildly.
Saint is blocking with his sword as Christopher is fighting with anger. He kicks him through a back wall, then follows through the hole. A ceramic sink flies towards him as he enters, as he blocks it the sink shatters against his forearm. Christopher uses this moment to attack, he swings downward but saint evades hit and punches him in the face. Christopher falls down but quickly stands again. He has a look of determination on his face. He puts his sword away, saint looks on and raises eye brow and tilts his head slightly. Christopher pulls out his dagger and another from behind him, under his cloak.
Christopher begins to smile then begins his next attack. He is swinging more precisely and deliberate. He even seems to be going a little faster.
Saint is still dodging and blocking.

Saint, “I see you were hindered by the long sword, you must be trained in this art more than fencing I would say.”
Christopher is standing a few feet from him, he stops turns his back to Saint and begins taking off his cloak. It is revealed that the armor on his back is laced with many small throwing blades.
Saint, “In deed.”
Christopher, “I am no fool Sir Saint, I know the way I have been fighting, I should be ended by now at the blade of your sword. Why are you holding back?”
Saint gets into a more relaxed stance yet still alert, “why would you discredit yourself lad, ever thought you may just be that good?”
Christopher raising his voice, “do not mock me, I can tell you are holding back, you snapped  Alex’s arm off like a leg off a human. That aged ceramic shattered on your arm. Your speed has lessened as well. You do not wish to tell me why, then I will have to except that.”
Saint, “I guess I was still being too nice, hoping to scare you off with my skills, I really don’t enjoy killing my own, or others for that matter.”
Christopher is getting more angry, “Scare me off? You would not fight whole heartedly even against a threat?!”
Saint does a slight laugh, “My boy you are no threat to me.”
Christopher yelling, “What?!”
He put his long daggers away and swiftly begins throwing his smaller daggers.
Saint is evading them and noticing that they are passing through the wall as if the were high caliber bullets. He jumps behind some rubble.
Saint looks at the sword in his hand and in the reflection he sees Christopher coming towards him.
Christopher, “We are hiding now or your still being nice? I get it I am a match for the great swordsman, I am a threat!”
Suddenly Saint stands up from behind the rubble, he puts his sword away then moves leaving wind brushing against Christopher’s face.
Following the wind he turns to see Saint near the hole he made entering the building.
Saint, “I told you.”
Christopher begins throwing his blades again at Saint. Instead of dodging, Saint is moving his hands with speed that is blurring his arm movements.
Christopher runs out of small blades. We see Saint looking slightly down out of the hole. We see all the blades are stuck in the side of a building two buildings over after passing through the neighboring structures.
Christopher pulls his fighting blades out and steps towards Saint,. Suddenly Saint is right there punching his stomach causing him to hunch over then uppercuts him causing him to fall. Saint some how has both daggers, he smiles as  he throws them  over his shoulder.
Christopher is coughing up his dark colored blood and trying to crawl away as Saint walks towards him, he manages to rise. He reaches for his sword, but it is not there. Saint has it, while Christopher has a shocked look.
Christopher, “but.”
Saint interrupts by running him through with the long blade and lifting him up against a wall.
“Not a threat.”
He leaves as quickly, as he has defeated Christopher.
Christopher is hanging, pinned up into a wall with his own sword.
Christopher yelling, “fuck!”
Joshua, “I don’t think so.”
 As his eyes get darker they pulsate with blue light.
“Time for pops to lend a hand.”
Zykrel looks on but doesn’t seem to be concerned.
Joshua, “Retreat.”
As he says that the many arms disappear in the ground.
Joshua, “Risao, grandiche’ “
Just then the ground begins to shake.
Zykrel, “You fool, are you insane?!”
Joshua, “Oh so you do speak. I thought you were gonna die quietly.”
Zykrel pulls out a long barrel gun and begins to fire at him. But the ground is shaking too much to get a bead on him.
Giant arms rise from the ground , they start to reach for Zykrel.
Joshua thinking , “damn my hands are healing too fast, didn’t think it would be this quick.”
Zykrel Is dodging the arms, barely, “You’re an idiot, why would you do a partial summoning like that here?! Your  gonna bring this place down on us!”
Joshua, “So you know a little about Hell summoning?”

Zykrel, “you sir are a disgrace even to the Dark Blood House. Yes, I know who you are. You could be prince of this world, but instead your just an inferior peasant, a worthless vagrant.”
Joshua in thought, “My wounds are almost closed it’s gonna be a bitch sending him back.”
Zykrel, “As long as you are bleeding u can control him, but it looks like you are healing pretty fast. Must be the demon side of you. The only part of you that is worth shit. Your dad should have  let you die, I see where you get your stupidity.”
Joshua seems agitated, “Okay.”
He lifts his hands off the ground, giving up control of the arms.
Zykrel, “You fucking ape! He will destroy us.”
Joshua standing up while the building is falling down around them. The arms flail around destroying the pillars holding it up.
“Not us.”
The building crumbles as it falls a loud screech comes from the arms.
The rubble is still and the dust settles, Joshua emerges slowly knocking broken cement off of him.
He gets to one knee and suddenly a blade comes thru his torso from behind.
Joshua grunts out loudly, “Shit.”
Zykrel with his blade in Joshua, “You think that was gonna get rid of me?”
Joshua, “Why is everything about you? It was for him.”

Zykrel, “The beast? I see, It was forced to retreat back out of self preservation.”
Joshua, “Well aren’t you a damn genius?”
Zykrel pulls his gun out and places it to the back off his head.
“So if I blow your brains out and slice your heart at the same time, can you survive that?”
Joshua, “Dupli selfsi tempa”
Zykrel didn’t hear him. He twists the sword and causes Joshua more pain.
Joshua, “Just do it”
Zykrel, “my pleasure.”
As he pulls the trigger, a hand grabs the barrel as it fires and Zykrel is knocked a couple yards away.
Another Joshua is holding the gun by the barrel, facing Zykrel.
 “He was talking to me, Duncan McCloud.”
The original Joshua is still kneeling on the ground with the sword in him.
 “Hey, get this thing out of my back already!’
Copy, “Well, well no thank you or hey how you been?”
He pulls out the sword and throws it down.
Joshua, “Bout damn time.”
As he says that Zykrel stands up, “rasen flame spiral snakes”
Snake like flames of red fire lace his arms.
“I know so much about you Leo-Kin, because I am of the dragon house.”
Joshua, “great the vampire warlock house, makes sense, now what?”
Zykrel starts to increase the flame and making it move faster.
Copy, “I think he is upset about something.”
Joshua, “Maybe you shouldn’t have called him Duncan McCloud.”
Suddenly Zykrel punches the copy and sends him crashing  into some building rubble.
Copy, “Okay, so your not a Duncan fan, maybe Conner McCloud then?”
The copy is trying to get dust and fire off of him.
“Shit this burns, you got some Neosporin?”
Joshua, “Shut up, we don‘t have time for this, shit.”
Zykrel, “ I’m sure you can make time to die.”
He grabs Joshua quickly and raises him, feet off the ground.
“It is over for you now.”
Joshua, “now.”
Suddenly the copy is on Zykrel’s back holding him in a head lock. But It has no effect on him.
Zykrel, “this is pitiful.”
Joshua, “Interioza”
The copy disappears.
Zykrel, “shame temporary copies are not reliable.”
He punches Joshua covering him in flames, with a force sending him flying upwards.
Zykrel jumps up levitating following Joshua, “I am not done with you yet!”
He kicks Joshua even harder sending him through building after building, not letting up.
Joshua is crashing through building wall after building wall, causing rubble to fall to the streets. The vampire pummels Joshua one last time before Zykrel lands on a roof, watching Joshua head towards the city center.

CHAPTER 8: THE GANGS ALL HERE


 The Wall of Dark Haven. The group is still there waiting. The sisters are sitting down both leaning on the left and right shoulder of Michael , whom is also on the floor. They are sound asleep. Haven is leaning with his arms on the side of the wall looking to the direction of the north.
Eric walks over to him.
Eric, “Nervous or anxious?”
Haven pauses, then without looking at him says, “Both.”
Eric, “This will be the first real conflict you ever been part of isn’t it?”
Haven slightly looks at him then back out to the openness
Haven, “Yes, I only hear my father‘s stories of the Over Come, that is something I wish I could have been a part of. Something of honor and great respect. Not this.”
Eric with his hand on Haven’s shoulder, “You are son, you are.”
Suddenly a loud squealing sound comes from the left of them. As they both look it is Walter hanging upside down from the tree that hangs over the bridge. He is snoring horrendously.  They both look at each other and share a laugh.
Haven looks out the corner of his eye towards the north, then turns his head. With a solemn face of  determination he says, “she is here.”
Soon Melissa is on the wall with the rest. Melissa looks to see who is present then she smiles and turns to Haven.
“You did it, you even got Eric. I’m proud of you lover.”
Haven, “this will be for not. Where is the Army you spoke of?”
Melissa walking over near Michael and the twins, looking down at them she replies to Haven.
“Don’t worry, that is going as I planned also.”
She kicks Michael, he slightly opens his eye.
“hey, your sister is back brother. I made It back from grey wolf territory. What have you to say?”
Michael looking up and closing his eyes again  says, “great now wake me when the army gets here.”
Melissa turning away, “Useless, just useless.”
Melissa, “Well Eric we can’t just sit up hear in all this open space someone may see us.”
Eric without a word lifts his arms to the sky and puts his hands together.
He speaks, “doku flage’ camah.”
Just then a cloak of nothingness covers them making it seem as if no one is on the wall.
Inside what appears to be the Castle of Luscious, we see Zykrel, Saige, and Geran. They are in room with armors on the walls and weapons as well.
Geran, “Did you send word to those two?”
Saige, “Yeah I did. They should be here.”
Just then Alex and Christopher walk in.
Christopher, “You know I have to be fashionably late, that way all eyes will be on me when I enter the room.”
Zykrel in a serious tone, “Okay, we’re all here. We have to patrol this entire city in a few hours. The guest will be arriving directly in the morrow.”
Christopher to Zykrel, “Yes I seen that the troops have been deployed to all corners of the wall and any not so secret passage ways.”
Alex, “Yeah so I guess that’s why Your brother was up there, huh?”
Zykrel in an excited yet angered tone, “Haven? You seen Haven on the Wall?!”
Christopher with a lost look on his face, “Yes, he was there with your sisters as well.”
Alex, “Yeah and that whack job, Eric.”
Zykrel, “Fine, I have no idea what he is up to. But he and his associates are no exception to the orders of destroying anyone or thing that doesn’t belong where we find them.”
Saige, “Good, so can we get what we need from here and go?”
Geran, “Saige is right, we should go soon.”
Zykrel in agreement nods his head.
Everyone goes to a rack of weapons, they are grabbing unseen weapons, putting them on there side under their cloaks.
Christopher, “Good, then we’re off.”
At the top of a building, that seems to be a skyscraper. Joshua is pulling the scroll from the bag he throws the bag down, as if he doesn’t need it anymore. As he opens the scroll he kneels on the roof. Saint is standing a few feet away from him, watching.
Saint, “So how is this gonna work? Do I just jump on your back?”
Joshua looks up at him only slightly tilting his head.
Joshua, “I can assign you to the travel with me, just have to be with in a mile of me when it happens, too much further than that and there is no guarantee we’ll end up in the same place.”
Saint smiles, “No problem, I will be right with you dark one.”
Joshua focuses his attention back on to the scroll.
He puts hands together, rubs them, then puts them down on the scroll. It has many markings on it. His blue eyes begin to pulsate slightly, but not much brighter than they already are.
Joshua to himself, “Tach ki morva swoothe.”
The markings on the scroll glow. He removes his right hand, the palm  is glowing the same color of the writing, red. He motions for Saint to come closer. He extends his right hand.
Saint approaches and grabs his hand as if to shake it, a sizzling sound comes from their hands. Saint has an expression on his face of slight pain. He starts trying to pull his hand away, but Joshua isn’t letting go.
Joshua, “Parto, enda.”
He lets go of Saints hand and places his back on the scroll. Saint is looking at the palm of his hand There is a Star with a globe inside of it burned into his flesh.
Joshua removes both hands and stands up.
Joshua, “Okay”
Saint still looking at his hand, looks over at Joshua. He rolls the scroll up, then raises his left hand holding it.
Joshua, “Return”
He tosses the scroll, it disappears.
Saint, “So how long before it works?”
Joshua walking towards the edge of the building. It is tall enough to see the many ruins of a millennium past. The streets are over taken by small demonic creatures and plant life cracking thru the cement. Joshua raises his head to look strait out to the horizon.
Joshua, “three hours.”
Saint is looking in the same direction. He walks up near Joshua’s left side.
Saint, who is looking out to the horizon as well.
Saint, “I see they are already welcoming their guests for the ceremony.”
In the city square there is a huge stage. In front there are hundreds of chairs placed. The chairs are of solid red wood, with red cushions, similar to small thrones.
On the street that leads to the square are dozens of vampires on the sidewalks. They are dressed in various armors, with shields in front of them. They all carry long swords that are still in sheath on their sides.
On the roads, there are huge coaches being carried by 12 horse like creatures, with red eyes and   puffing smoke from their nostrils.
There are at least
 Twenty of these coaches filling the streets. They are made of dark wood laced with golden trim. They are all heading towards the square.
As they travel, there are dozens of their private security walking beside and behind each coach. These Vampires have no cloaks , their armor is shiny and well kept. Various colors of armor per coach. Some are silver, others gold also many black armored knights.  It is impossible to see inside the dark glass of the  huge coaches.
The coachmen are dressed in red and black hooded cloaks, covering their bodies and faces.
Someone is riding one of the huge beasts that resemble a horse, it has two small horns on it’s head like a ram. The eyes are black it is also blowing smoke from it’s nostrils.
The person on the horse is riding around the line of coaches as if making sure everything is in order.
On the wall Melissa and company are still covered by the illusion. Michael is looking down from left to right.
Michael, “I didn’t think it would be this may of them? Each coach has to have at least six  inside them.”
Walter perched on the side of the wall is also looking then he turns his head to Michael.
Walter, “Is that fear I hear in your voice? You won’t mind the numbers after you change into something more suitable.”
Melissa is also looking over the edge, but the opposite side. She remains silent.
Eric notices this and walks over to her. He props his sword on his shoulder and starts speaking to her.
“Are you having second thoughts? Still time to walk away. No one will think lesser of you.”
Melissa without looking at him responds.
“I am not having second thoughts. Just waiting til the time comes, so we can get started.”
The twins are also looking over the edge, watching the streets.
Cynthia, “It is going to be marvelous, right sister?”
Stephanie licking her lips, “Yes sister, a grand battle and feast all in one.”
Melissa Stands up strait from her leaning position. She sees something.
Melissa, “Their here, let’s go.”
She jumps off the wall while she is falling the others follow behind her.
Haven grabs her in mid fall and lands with her in his arms.
Melissa holding on to Haven, “Will you always be there to catch me?”
Haven softly replies, “if you will have me.”
Eric walking past them, “Okay this ain’t no date we
“Got an army to meet.”
They look at him and smile at each other. Haven puts her down.
Melissa and the others start walking up a huge hill.
It is covered with dead grass and some snakes are slithering nearby.
At the top of the hill stands Desmond and Gerald holding their staves.
As they meet at the top, everyone is looking around but to no avail. They only see Gerald and Desmond.
Haven, “Melissa, this is the army you spoke of?”
Walter looking at the two men,
“Damn geezers, what the hell are they gonna do?”
Michael looking at Melissa, “Yeah, did  you not see all those upper class heading to the  city square?”
Melissa looks at her brother, “Did you not hear me when I said we shall have an army?”
She nods her head at Desmond and Gerald.
Both Desmond and Gerald raise both arms toward the sky. They begin to turn around toward the other side of the hill.
Desmond, “Join and discover.”
Gerald, repeats the same.
“Join and discover.”
As they say that at the top of the hill and down the other side, hundreds of werewolves ready  and poised stand before them. A vast ferocious army of snarling teeth and trembling, anxious claws. They are ready for the word to attack, to show these higher class, cultured vampires what strength and power truly feel like.
Wayne is standing right in front of the group. He is directly behind Melissa.
Eric standing with his  hands on the handle of his sheathed sword, relaxed as if not even concerned with the new arrivals, looking at the horde,  he comments.
“Well, there you go.”
Stephanie, “Cool.”
Cynthia, “That’s fucking wicked!”
Haven looks at Melissa, “Have you lost your mind? You want to bring them into the city walls?!”
Michael, “I didn’t know there were this many grey wolves?”
Desmond, “all branches of the tribe have been united, we are ready to show our strength.”
Wayne looking at Haven,
“Are you scared little boy? You can stay here with  the Shamans, they will protect you.”
Haven begins to pull his sword.
Eric with his hand on his shoulder.
He gently tells him,
“Choose carefully what you want to die for, young prince.”
Haven moves his hand away from his sword. He looks Wayne in the eye.
“I am ready, for anything.”
On the outskirts of the city we see dozens of vampires with no armor just regular dark colored shirts and pants.
They are fighting with each other ferociously. There is a lone vampire in silver and gold trimmed armor, it is dirty and dented. He is standing a few yards from the skirmish.
Lone vampire shouts,
“Show me you have what it takes to be a knight for Lord Luscious!”
There is a shield placed in front of him.
“Fight as if your soulless existence depended on it. Cause it does, whoever is still in one piece goes on to the next phase.“
All of a sudden a thunder sounds and in the middle of the fighting vampires a big colorless whole opens, it knock some a few feet away. Everyone is looking in amazement and curiosity.
Teresa and Chad emerge from the nothingness.
Lone vampire pulls his sword from his side.
He addresses the two.
“Who are you and how dare you trespass!”
Chad, “quiet yourself whelp.”
Lone vampire stands upright and looks at the other vampires. Looks as if you are getting some extra training recruits. Take them.”
Teresa stepping ahead of Chad looks at the charging group of would be Knights.
Teresa, “Awww for me? You shouldn’t have.”
Just then one leaps at her with sword drawn. She catches him by the throat and  with her other hand breaks his blade.
Teresa is looking him in the eyes, “Congratulations, your first.”
She squeezes his neck and his head pops off and blood gushes from his neck. She joins the fray of angered vampires, unhinged violence commences. All that is heard are the tearing of limbs and the screams of the victims. Within moments she as mutilated all the vampires present except the lone vampire that questioned them. He stands there sword at the ready but stepping back a step or two.
Chad talking to the frightened knight.
“Next time it will do you justice to not be disrespectful to an Imperial, namely Teresa of the Ice.”
He hears this and falls to his knees and bows to her.
Teresa, “get up and go, tell no one of us.”
Vampire stands up, bows one last time and leaves quickly.
Back on the roof Joshua and Saint are standing, looking in opposite directions.
Saint, “You not much for talking are you friend?”
Joshua says nothing. Not even an acknowledgment. Joshua is still looking towards the horizon.
Joshua to Saint, “There are some party crashers on the horizon.”
Saint walking over.
“Maybe we should make haste before we get discovered and this gets more difficult.”
Joshua, “Too late.”
Just as he says that . Zykrel, Geran, Saige, Alex, and Christopher arrive on the roof.
Christopher, “Well if it isn’t Saint, the legendary traitor.”
Geran, “I am honored.”
Joshua just looks at them. Saint says nothing as well.
Zykrel walks up a few steps closer to the two.
Zykrel, “we are the Knight Guard of Lord Luscious, you shall not interfere with the ceremony.”
Just then trumpets from the middle of the city are sounding.
Saige looks at Joshua, “So it begins.”

28 May 2012

Chapter 7: The Three

Saint points at the beast, “Look!”
On back of the huge beast is a boy, no older than 12.
He speaks, “You are not allowed here!”
Two more people appear one on each side of the huge beast that is staring at Joshua.
A female on the left and a male on the right.
   They are all wearing long black cloaks similar to Joshua’s. There shirt and pants are black as well with black shoes on.
Saint, “Move aside children,we don’t want to”
Just then Joshua darts into the beasts midsection. They both are flying back, the boy is tossed off. The other two avoid by jumping to the sides.
They crash into a stone wall. Joshua is standing on the beast avoiding his claws, he jumps up and thunders down on it’s throat. It let’s out a screech.
Joshua yells back ,“Fight, you dumb ass, fight!”
Saint is looking at his two opponents. 
The girl pulls her sword from her back, it is a Claymore, the male has a Zhanmedeo, a Chinese broad sword. Instantly they attack Saint.
Saint, “Those are very nice swords, you should be careful.”
He as yet to pull a weapon out. They come charging at him.
When they attack,he flips over them and pushed off of their backs as he kicks them. 
Suddenly the Boy riding the beast appears beside him and uses the momentum to throw him near Joshua and the beast.
Joshua is holding the beasts mouth open as it  roars.
The beast is pushing him back making him dig into the floor.
Joshua yells at Saint, “You should be Fighting, not talking.”
He twists the head of the beast causing it to be on it’s back again. Then he jumps on top of he beast and plunges his fist inside of it’s chest. The beast roars and howls in pain. Joshua twists and pulls then something snaps and he reaches in further an blood splashes up, the beast is motionless.
Saint, “I do not feel honorable defeating children.”
Joshua jumping off the beast looks towards the three as they come towards them.
He speaks to Saint, “How honorable will you feel when those kids kick your ass?”
Saint, “They do seem determined to kill us.”
Joshua, “not us, you. They are toying with you until they are ready to kill you.”
The three appear right in front of them.
The older boy, “He is right, we will kill you, whether you fight or not.”
The younger boy, “Yes it is our destiny, Tristan, Rose and I Eldrich will kill you.”
Joshua, looking at them, he moves in between them and Saint then sweeps the three, and kicks each one before they land. Sends them flying back a couple yards.
Joshua turns to Saint takes his own sword from his hip and hands it to him.
Joshua, “Now fight, I’ll be back in a minute. Just don’t die.”
He starts running off.
Saint, “I knew you cared.”
Joshua, “I just don’t wanna have to  kill Vaan if he comes to avenge your death.”
Saint smiles as Joshua disappears out of sight.
We now see Luscious in a dimly lit hallway, talking to Zykrel.
Luscious to Zykrel, “I do not want anything to interrupt with my ceremony, no surprises.”
Zykrel dressed in his armor, is standing in front of  Luscious his with his hand propped on the handle of his sword and his cloak draped over his shoulders.
Zykrel, “Don’t worry, nothing will trespass on your day.”
Luscious, “Make sure of  that, I am retiring to my chambers for the rest of the night.”
He begins walking off.
Zykrel with his head turned towards him as he exits to his chambers, “Yes sir, I will not fail you.” Scene switches.
Melissa is standing dressed in a two piece out fit that seems to be made of animal hid. She has her satchel on her back and a staff in her hand, that she has standing upright.
Getting closer we see red and black designs on her face. Gerald and Desmond are with her, they seem to be at the area where she first arrived.
Desmond stands in front of her a few feet away.
Desmond, “All will be prepared as you wish Priestess, we will be ready.”
Gerald, “I must thank you, young Priestess. You have brought all the clans together. United again and it shall display it’s power and strength as it were before.”
Melissa, “Are you sure they can be ready? How will you get everyone there?”
Desmond and Gerald look at her silently.
Melissa turning around facing the opposite direction.
She says, “Never mind.”
She walks off .
We see Joshua entering a room, it is dark. The only light is from Joshua’s eyes. He walks strait then stops. Just then the room lights up, to reveal a huge sized room that has a black and silver sphere, resembling a globe in the middle of the room. The is reminiscent of a grand sized library. There are what seems to be hundreds of shelves full of books. There is dust and cob webs all around the room.
Behind him near the entrance to the room is a shadow, Joshua doesn’t seem to notice it. It moves closer to the doorway then exits.
Joshua pauses for a moment.
Just outside the door the shadow is standing against the wall. A whisper sounds, “uncover.”
A figure in a black hooded cloak, resembling Joshua’s stands.
The hood is down far enough to hide his face.
The figure, “Dash.”
Soon as he speaks this he moves in a blurred streak out of sight into the darkness of another hallway.
Joshua still inside the room thinks to himself.
{Thought I heard something, but I know ii felt something. But it’s no longer here. Good this has already been too bothersome.}
He puts his puts his first two fingers of his left hand to his brow.
He speaks, “Exacta Fickar,….search!”
Just then every book and loose paper starts to swarm and circle the entire room around Joshua.
Joshua points into the swirl of books circling him. He calmly says, “found.”
Everything stops. Pointing at a scroll like paper.
He says, “Borrow”
every book and paper that was swirling drops or places it self back on the shelf, save the scroll he pointed out. It floats to his hand. Joshua grabs it and turns around as he walks out he stops while looking down to his right. It is a blue and white, decorated bag. He motions his right hand, it comes to him.
As he puts the scroll inside of it he says to himself,
 “Now it’s time to go.”
 Back to the fight with Saint and the three guardians.
Eldrich is getting hit in the jaw by Saint, sending him flying into a wall. He spits up blood as he drops his sword. Tristan and Rose are standing ready to challenge Saint.
Saint walking closer to The two. He begins to speak.
“You three have been around for quite some time as I see by the blades you wield.”
They look at him without response.
Saint, “Do you want to waste that long life, now?”
Tristan begins to rush Saint. As he does he yells.
“You are going to lose your life!”
Saint steadies himself, then Tristan seems to disappear and reappear behind him. Saint closes his eye.
Rose screams, “No!”
Saint ran him through with his sword, thrusting it behind him at the moment Tristan attacked.
Eldrich yells, “You fucking bastard! You will pay!”
He rises off the floor running towards Saint. He is moving fast enough to go in an out of vision. He appears and  disappears in a zig zag formation. Instantly he is right at Saint with his sword raised.
Saint noticeably angered, grabs the hand holding the sword. He instantly cuts it off and throws him near Tristan.
Suddenly Rose falls to her knees, in tears she starts pleading with Saint.
“Please, No don’t, leave them alone!”
Saint looking at Rose,
 “You ask me to spare them? You were not willing to do the same mere moments ago.”
Tristan is coughing up blood and bleeding heavily from his wound, that he is holding near his midsection.
Tristan, “You don’t understand.”
He struggles to say the words.
“We have to do this. We, we are’
Just then Joshua interrupts them.
Joshua, “They are the Outcaste‘.  The products of a Vampire and Warlock love affair that caused a war that lasted for centuries.”
Saint putting away his sword he curiously asks,
“You are saying these children are.”
Eldrich finishes his words. “Vampire and Warlock hybrids.”
Just then the group is interrupted by Jonathon Vaan in rushing with Daniels and Stevens closely behind him.
Rose turns to see all three men coming strait for her, she closes her eye as if preparing for the attack. She slowly opens her eyes surprised she still exists.
 Vaan and the others are floating in front of her. Joshua has is left hand pointed towards them.
Joshua, “You should think before you act. Did we look in danger to you?”
Tristan and the others look at Joshua in awe.
Eldrich says, “You, you use magic? Then that cloak you wear is truly  yours isn’t it?”
Joshua says nothing, just looks at them. Saint walks over.
Saint, “You said they were the Outcaste‘, what do you mean?”
Rose, “We are damned to forever protect this place. We are summoned any time a being that isn’t of magic enters.”
Eldrich adds, “Yes, but only those of a certain House can use magic within these walls.”
Daniels still floating with the others,
“So your trapped here, well anyway to release you ?”
Stevens, “Yeah speaking of release, do you mind?” He looks at Joshua, Joshua lowers his hand. They drift down to the floor.

Tristan still coughing, “There is one way but we are cursed to not speak it. So we must fight. Forever.”
Joshua, “No not forever”
He walks over to Rose. He reaches in the bag he has and pulls out a gold stemmed ruby rose. Everyone looks at it shine and twinkle, it also has diamond water drops on it’s pedals.
Rose takes it with that Joshua says to her, “hand it to your brothers.”
She walks over and kneels in front of her brothers. They reach for the Rose, as all three touch it at the same time, a swirl of purple light spins around them then soars into the ceiling disappearing. They are all healed and standing.
Vaan, “What just happened?”
Joshua answers, “That Rose was the release ornament. Seems like someone was going to free them, but they didn’t make it.”
Rose, “I can see clearly now, Leo-kin? That is you!”
Eldrich and Tristan look and begin to smile.
Eldrich, “Yes , yes it is! thank you, thank you.”
Tristan, “We are forever your trusted and faithful disciples Leo-Kin!”
The boys  bow while Rose curtsies.
Joshua calmly, “Don’t mention it.”
He walks off towards a doorway.
Saint, “Hmmm. He knew all this before we came. I think he wanted us to come  ahead for this very reason. If we all came the confusion may have cost the poor cursed children there lives. Full of surprises dark one.”
He salutes the children with two fingers nonchalantly, then walks in Joshua’s direction.
Daniels and Stevens just look at the three.
Daniels at Rose, “Sorry we tried to kill you.”
They walk over to Saint and Joshua.
Vaan walking behind Daniels and Stevens,
“What if they join up with the other vampires?”
Eldrich over hearing, “We are on the side of Leo-Kin.”
Saint looking at Joshua, “There you have it. Their on the side of Leo-Kin.”
Joshua, “You coming or not.”
he walks thru the doorway leaving Saint standing there.
Saint, “We shall take it from here chaps, Vaan keep training.”
Vaan, “Yes Master, I shall.”
Stevens, “Try to work on that luck of yours.”
Saint laughs, “I will, I will.”
Daniels, “See you later Sir.”
Saint follows Joshua through the doorway.
The brothers look at the three and they all have obvious expressions of awkwardness.
Daniels, “We’ll just leave you three at it then.”
 Saint emerges from the doorway in what appears to be an alley on the street level.
Joshua whom was already outside. speaks to him, “We can do this up there.”
He is looking up at a ragged sky scraper, many stories high, Saint is looking at the building also. Then Joshua jumps up the side of the building. Each jump clearing stories at a time. Saint shakes his head.
