[10:11PM]

With heavy, exhausted eyes, Vampire-Jade analyzed Kronosdragon. The E.H.T.F. officer had left him, returning to his men and the medical-staff member was attending to another in need. The pale man sat there slacked, his body extremely exhausted. But the same aura he usually gives out is still present. He watches as Kronosdragon fidgets around once she noticed that he was staring at her, she as trying too hard to avoid looking awkward, so it appears.

That demon, it is dangerous… I battled the entity in light-speed… The D.Q. satellite said that she only had fatigue-based portal-summoning… Then again, the demon followed her lineage… On the note, she is acting rather odd…

Vampire-Jade made an inaudible ‘mmph’, then he slowly shifted his eyes back at the Chinooks ceiling.

[10:15pm]

KD couldn't shake her nervousness. She had lost her only link to her family's past, and the only source of information she had about the demon. She rubbed the smooth surface of one of her fangs with her finger. It was like porcelain, smooth and milky to the touch. A shiver ran down her spine as she suddenly got a violent urge to bite something. She clamped down on one of her fingers, hoping the pain would snap her out of it. It only slightly eased the urge, and she had to fight the temptation to draw her own blood. She had lost enough already, she didn't need to lose more.

She bit harder, her finger going slightly numb for a second before she finally let go. She had to control whatever it was that was making her like this.

You know you need me...

The voice sent a chill through her entire body. It was the unmistakable voice of the demon.

You know you want to. Go ahead. Get him while he's down. He can't fight against you now. Let me be free, let me destroy him, and everyone on this vehicle. We'll rule the world, you and I. You can't deny me forever...

Well, I'm sure as hell going to try. I'm not done fighting yet.

Then suffer!

KD got another unexplainable urge to bite, stronger this time. She kept her mouth shut tight and closed her eyes, fighting the instinct.

Will I have to bear this forever?

She almost expected the demon to laugh or taunt her some more, but it was silent. She bit her lip, still awkward with her fangs, and the urge grew. She clenched her fists and sat as silently as possible, eyes and mouth clamped shut, focusing everything on breaking the urge. Now was not the time to start biting people, nor would she ever give in.

[Razgriz]

[10:16PM]

Vampire-Jade slowly kept his mouth shut, breathing much more normally. The effect of his regeneration obviously had increased due to the blood and considering the amount he had to gulp in, it sure is getting the job done.

He shifted himself into a more presentable posture; tilting his head to both sides, cracking his neck. He turned to his side, glancing at the passenger – Mostly women and children, and then there was a handful of men and J-Man. He slowly turned towards Kronosdragon, who sat in front of him.

He narrowed his eyes as he looked at Kronosdragon. A while back, she was concerned about him, now she seems to be bothered with something. Her eyes were twitching and shifting erratically, not paying attention to her surroundings. He noticed how she forcibly kept her mouth shut, not relaxing her lips and cheeks.

Something is wrong…

He then remembered…

He dug into his leather pants’ pocket and pulled out a small, brown, leather-bound book. He found it one the way towards Kronosdragon. Because the object stands out on the concrete streets and rubble from the nearby building which was recently destroyed, his curiosity got to him.

As he was about to move the book’s cover to the side and take a look to pass the time, he suddenly looked up when someone called him – Kronosdragon.

[kronosdragon]

[10:16pm]

KD looked up when Vampire-Jade moved. She watched as he pulled something from his pocket, and the unmistakable scent of leather met her acutely-tuned sense of smell. What's more, is that she recognized it.

"Hey!"

Vampire-Jade looked up at KD's sharp tone.

"That's my journal! How did you get that?!"

KD's focus lessened on the task at hand, and she sudden felt her urge to bite again. She ground her teeth together and held out her hand.

"Please, can I have it back? I need it."

[Razgriz]

[10:16PM]

Vampire-Jade stared quite blankly at Kronosdragon this time, blinking.

What a coincidence? …

He looked down at the book then looked up to see Kronosdragon stretch out a hand, bending forward. But her eyes appears as if she was somewhere else, still shifting erratically. Vampire-Jade gently closes the ‘journal’ and handed it over to her.

Something is undoubtedly wrong…

[kronosdragon]

KD quickly took the book and nodded her thanks to Vamp. She then hurriedly opened the book and flipped through the pages, feeling the cool leather beneath her shaking hands. She tried to still them enough to keep the book from shaking so she could read her ancestor's writing. She flipped through page after page after coming to a portion she had not yet read. It was written by her great, great grandfather. She read the passage carefully.

I've undergone the strangest changes since my first encounter with the demon. My canines have fallen out, and given way to pointed fangs, smooth as silk. I've been having these insatiable urges for blood, but I have not yet given in. It's been about three weeks since then, and now I've noticed my eyes changing color too. My body is getting noticeably stronger and more durable. I have no clue what is going on, but I assume it has something to do with the demon. So I will write this down in my family journal to warn the future generation.

KD shivered. So others in her family have experienced this. She shivered and shut her eyes as her stomach began to ache.

Ugh...I must be hungry. Haven't had anything to eat for almost two days now...

She opened her eyes and focused on the journal. She clenched a fist as she shut the book. She set it down beside her and closed her eyes again, focusing on keeping her mouth shut. If she opened it, she may be unable to control herself.

[Lucky Joe]

“The Ring?” Joe asked, interested by their small little conversation.

“Gladiator’s Ring.” Said Castlemanic, looking back at Joe.

“…And what’s that?”

“Well, it’s a simulator only the elites get into; it’s special because we can make a bunch scenarios in which one of our elites might get into. Vampire Jade ran the course awhile back.”

“How’d he do?”

“Exceptional, he is still the killer we know.”

Joe let out an ‘Hmm’. Castlemanic then looked at the one way mirror, and said “He’s fine, let him out of the restraints.”

The restraints slammed back into the chair by themselves, Joe sat up, cracked his neck, chuckled, and stood up from the chair.

“Lead on.” Joe said.

Castlemanic didn’t respond, the only thing he did was signal Joe to follow him, he did, the female soldier followed as well. They walked over to a door. The door opened, and they stepped out into a large hallway. CM turned right, and both of them followed. Joe had a thought that he should start up some conversation, but quickly shot that plan down, as he was still technically their prisoner.

The walk lasted about ten minutes. Castlemanic stopped at a small door. “Be ready for a fight. Get in there and prepare for a large battle, that’s all I can tell you. We will tell you when you can walk into the next room.”

Joe stepped in, and looked around, a large gym, a firing range, and a knife-combat bag.

“Hm…alright.”

~~~~

“Step into the room now, Joe.” Said a voice over an intercom.

“Finally…” he said under his breath. He had been sitting in that room for 30 minutes and was told to “Be ready for a fight”. He had been preparing, making sure he knew which knives and weapons he would form. He thought that the fight wouldn’t be too hard, so he chose the he would use KA-BAR Serrated Knife and his old Custom Colt .45.

Joe walked into the room; he appeared to be outside in a Ghetto. Looking around some more, he noticed he was at a play ground near a few tenants. He looked around some more and saw that the play ground had a few swings, a rusted slide, a see-saw and a basketball court; all with dried out blood stains at random parts of them. He walked around, seeing a lot of junk in the streets along with jalopies and Japanese Boasted cars. He laughed, as this reminded him of his neighborhood when he was a kid. The play-ground was fenced off, with a small opening in the front with a path way leading strait towards a jungle gym. He saw a few people, about four, sitting across from each other on two separate benches. They all had the same clothes on, Green shirt with faded blue jeans.

“Hm.”

He walked over to the opening in the gate, as he reached the end of the path-way, the men looked at him and stood up. They all had the same hair, brown, and the same face and body build. They also were the same color, tan.

“We don’t like your kind here.” One said who looked like their leader, because he wore a Red arm band. “I suggest you leave.”

“Well, I don’t like your kind here, either.” Joe said, stepping up towards the man. The other 3 moved in closer.

“Well then.” The man turned his back and stepped about two feet, turned around and took out a pistol. He aimed it at Joe and held it side-ways.

“Not the proper way you hold a gun, kid.”

“Doesn’t matter, I can still bust a cap into your head at this distanc-“

Joe grabbed the gun, spun the gun in a 360 movement, spinning the man’s arm along with it. Joe took the pistol from him and aimed it at the leader. The pistol was a regular for gangsters, Glock 17. The leader regained his composure and looked back at Joe. The rest of the men pulled out their own pistols as well.

“Great…now what are yo-“

Joe took out his KA-BAR and threw it at the leader, hitting him right through his Adam’s apple. He drop-kicked one of the gangsters, round-house kicked another and shot the third. He dropped the Glock and ripped out his knife from the man’s neck. He kneeled down, and cleaned off the blood of his knife on a still-conscience gangster. Joe noticed the gangster looking at him, quickly picked the man up, held him over his head so that his face was staring at the sky, and threw him onto the upper-support-bar of the gated fence, possibly cracking his back. He laughed, and walked on the path onto the side-walk. He looked around.

“…More company.”

Five men charged at him, all looks exactly the same, Green shirts and blue jeans. Joe brandished his now clean knife, held it in an Edge out RGEO style and waited.

[kronosdragon]

"Hnnngh..."

KD pulled her knees up to her chest and propped herself up in a corner. She lowered her head, her bangs falling over her eyes. She put her head on her knees and tried to slow her breathing. Her mouth opened a little and she started to breath heavily. She kept her eyes closed tight and clamped her mouth shut again.

It's just the after effects of changing into the demon, that's all...nothing more, nothing to worry about.

She groaned as her stomach lurched.

Nothing to worry about...it's all psychological...

Her heart rate quickened, and she then knew exactly was was going on.

The demon's trying to put me in a state of panic again! If I do that, it'll be able to break free...I have to-

"Agh!"

KD's distress was made clear in her tone of voice, and attracted attention. She felt herself losing the battle. She wasn't losing consciousness, but she was starting to feel heat rising from within her. She arched her back and twitched her fingers as her nails began to grow.

No! I won't have it!

"KD? KD, what's wrong?!" one of the women asked, hurrying over and placing a hand on KD's shoulder.

KD hissed and pushed her away.

"Stay away!" she growled. "I can handle this! Hnnnngh!"

KD's eyes began to glow slightly, and she held her hands up to her face. She clenched her fists, her nails biting into her palms. Blood started to drip from her hands, and this only excited her urge to bite. She groaned and cursed her misjudgment.

Bad idea, KD. Bad, bad, bad idea...

She ground her teeth together and unclenched her fists. Blood stained her hands and she wiped them off on what was left of her pants. She didn't know what to do. Her skin was hot to the touch, and her eyes were starting to lose their color.

Ugh, damn it! I'm not strong enough to keep it down!

[sleon]

[9:44]

After over an hour and a half of talking and eating(and getting weird stares from some of the soldiers), Wraith and his sister finally left the mess hall and are now to sleon's room to drop her off. As they were walking down the hall, he noticed that she was doing a few cartwheels and backflips ahead of him as they go down the hall.

With a heavy sigh, He catches up to her till he was at her side. "Sis, what are you doing?" he asked as she does another series of flips while answering.

"I" flip "am" flip "trying" twist to back flip "to" flip "burn" flip "up" round-house flip "my" flip "sugar rush" double flip in the air before landing on her feet.

Wraith gives her a skeptical look. "And... is it working?" he asked (-_-") while she is doing a handstand, making them stop. "Absotively none whats-so-nope!" she answered cheerfully. (*^^*)

As soon as she lowered herself back to her feet, she runs forward again and does a double flip in the air and lands on herhands, twisting her body so she could land back on her feet, facing her brother with a bow.

"Ta-da!" she cheers with a smile but changed to a troubled look when she noticed that her brother had a serious face, as if something was in his mind. "Wraith?" she asked nervously as she noticed the atmosphere started to get dark and heavy.

She sees him close his eyes and takes in a deep breath before looking up and walking forward til he was only a couple of feet infront of her. "Sis, Theres something I need to ask you," he explains, "Its been bugging me since the fight with Anarchist was over." His gaze then turns deadly. "And... I don't want you to lie to me when I ask, Understood?"

Sleon gets a little nervous as she nods her head in agreement. Her brother breaths out a heavy sigh as he goes straight to the point, "Tell me, How is it that you and Vampire-jade know each other?"

[Razgriz]

[10:21PM]

Vampire-Jade immediately looked up as Kronosdragon gave out a scream; the women around were murmuring and gasping. One of the women’s eyes was stricken wide. Around him, time slowed down. His eyes shifted slowly towards the women’s reaction – They were undoubtedly confused, surprised and an expression of a thousand questions. His eyes shifted to Kronosdragon. As he reached eye-contact with her, his focus was suddenly interrupted – He looked up.

“Incoming bogeys! Brace yourselves!” The voice of the Chinook-V21’s co-pilot boomed through speakers.

He returned his attention to Kronosdragon as he stood up. Suddenly, a loud explosion violently shook the Chinook, tilting to the left and right. The women and children were screaming. But the scream of Kronosdragon was from a different causation, it even appears she doesn’t realize what is going on. Vampire-Jade was trying to keep balance by following the tilting-movement of the Chinook as he tried to get to Kronosdragon. Another explosion forced Vampire-Jade off balance, forcing back on his seat.

An E.H.T.F. soldier yelled behind the titanium door, “We’re hit! The thrusters were hit!”

“Stabilizing thrusters. Transferring power-cells. Re-adapting engine-tubes. Calculating success rate.” Another one yelled.

The soldiers burst out from their hold and ran across the cargo hold reaching the door at the end of it. Everything was systematically performed; routine-checks, emergency repairs. The women, children and Resistance Fighters struggled to regain balance and return to their seats; strapping their belts. Vampire-Jade quickly got up and leapt towards Kronosdragon, who was still screaming.

He forced his gloved palms on the shoulders and pinned her on the wall with a dull thud. The impact probably got her back to her senses, maybe by a bit. She had her arms weakly lifted up as if they too were pinned to the wall.

He then realized upon being close proximity – The changes. Her eyes were slightly glowing, reminiscent to that demon. Her fingernails grew in length, razor sharp; her palms were bleeding due to them. Her mouth was gaping open, fangs were visible; there was an obvious look of inner conflict in her eyes.

Vampire-Jade continue to exhibit his unemotional facial expression. With sympathetic eyes, holding her firmly to the wall, he took a breath, “What is happening to you? …”

Kronosdragon appears to be not present in this reality, she was completely somewhere else. She stared blankly at the man in confusion, mouth gaping open.

He slowly loosened the grip on her shoulders and brought his hands to her face, “I know you can hear me… I know you are there…” He looked into her glowing eyes as they twitch and shift every second, loosely making contact with them.

She wasn’t paying attention to him, even to the fact that he was much closer in proximity unlike back in Nizhekarelina, also considering the physical contact. But she heard him. “I-i-i-it’s coming back…”

Vampire-Jade’s thoughts raced as quickly as possible. He tried assessing the situation. With a soft spoken voice, he began, “You can take it… I know, you can take -”

Her eyes suddenly stopped and slowly shifted towards Vampire-Jade’s red-eyes. She made a sinister smile and with a similar dark voice, “Hello, love.”

Vampire-Jade gritted his teeth; he slammed her head on the wall. The women and men were attempting to take off their belts and assist Kronosdragon. He pointed at them as if in power, “Stay where you are!” He roared, bearing his fangs.

He turned back to Kronosdragon, seemingly returned to her normal self, same goes with her twitching and shifting eyes. He bore his fangs; holding her head tightly, “Dare not step into this world…”

“You… Ca-c-c-c-can’t stop it…” Her voice was shaky as if in shock from a frightening torture. Then again, Vampire-Jade had sensed torture within her eyes.

She is… She is giving in… The demon is trying to get out… If she continues this way, it might - … The situation does not appear it would turn to our favour… I need to do something…

He looked to his side then faced Kronosdragon again. He gently, yet forcibly, turned her head towards the women and Resistance Fighters. “Look at them… They had looked up to you… You cannot allow releasing it here with them…”

A tear rolled down Kronosdragon’s cheek, “Please… P-please… kill me…”

Time is being drained away … The hand reaches zero…

“Vamp! Why aren’t you helping us out?!” Sergei-Spawn One suddenly entered the cargo hold. He was taken aback by the scene Vampire-Jade was putting up, “What… Are you doing? …”

Vampire-Jade turned to his right, glancing at the E.H.T.F. Officer. Then he faced Kronosdragon again, his mind racing, “Forgive me…”

He loosely held her face, slowly running his gloves fingers down her neck. He moved closer to her face as he delivered a deep, soothing kiss on her lips. She felt the chilly sting of his cold lips. Her eyes slowly closed, savoring the sudden moment. Her arms slowly limped to her sides and brought gently brought them around him.

Vampire-Jade wasted no time, he pushed aside her arms then jogged towards the E.H.T.F. Officer leading the way. He stopped in front of one of the men and whispered into his ear, “If something were to happen to her, sedate her… Lest, you want the worse to come…”

Kronosdragon slowly slumped on the floor, dreamily and in confusion. Rather than being in a conflict with the demon, her mind was utterly blank; her followers around her murmuring in absolute perplexity of what had taken place.

~~~~~

The Officer looked at Vampire-Jade, beside him, in bewilderment, “What… Was… That… About, considering our situati-”

“I will explain later…” Vampire-Jade hastily interrupted, “What is the status report.”

Putting aside the sudden event, walking beside him, the E.H.T.F. Officer began to dictate, “We have around four squadrons of four fighter jets on our tails. The other ‘Sergei’s had already engaged them and taken down five fighters.”

“What of the damage of this Chinook?” Vampire-Jade and the E.H.T.F. Officer entered the turret-control center. He climbed up to get on the back-turret but stop midway to get his answer.

“Superficial. The Netrosis’ ballistic-plating works like a charm. But success rates suggest it won’t last very long and vital points of this ship can be still shot into.”

They have acquired most of Net’s devices? …

Vampire-Jade climbed further up and strapped himself on the three-sixty, ball-turret and primed the quadruple-cannons. Before sliding down the hatch, Vampire-Jade called out, “Orders from Sergei-Demon, all Chinooks are to increase speed and modify wing-stability for constant non-patterned maneuvers.”

The Officer nodded and saluted. Vampire-Jade gave a quick saluted and brought the hatch down; gaining full control over the turret. The Officer turned and began shouting orders as he jogged towards the Chinook’s cockpit.

[kronosdragon]

KD felt utterly confused. What was that all about? She rubbed her eyes, the glow having faded from them for the moment. She still felt the insatiable urge to bite, and the heat rising within her was still as intense as ever, but she somehow found the strength to push it down for a little bit longer. She looked over at the women staring at her. She suddenly received the full blunt of what just happened and her cheeks flushed bright red. She wiped a hand across her mouth.

“W-What are you gawking at?!” KD said, attempting to stand up. She felt her legs wobble as the Chinook pitched beneath her, and she reflexively grasped her aching ribs. A couple of the women took a few steps forward. KD growled low, warning them not to come near.

“It’s not gone yet, don’t get too close,” KD hissed. “It’s not giving up any time soon, so just back away from me, okay?”

The women averted their eyes and took a few steps away from her. KD leaned against the wall of the Chinook. She tried to hide the blush on her face.

What the hell did he think he was doing?! Who does he think I am? I‘m…damn I can‘t…seem to…

She closed her eyes and leaned her head against the wall with a solid thump. She clenched her jaw, trying to push the demon further back. The chill tingle of his lips still lingered on hers.

I don’t understand…Why did he do that? I could have seriously hurt him. Yet…it pulled me back somehow…I never read anything about this in the journal…The demon hasn’t given up, but I have a little more strength than just a few seconds ago. Did he transfer some of his energy to me? Is that what that was? I’m so confused…

She touched a finger to her lips.

That was…the first time…The first time any man dared come so close to me…

She opened her eyes, a surge of demonic power coursing through her veins as the demon tried to push through in this moment of distraction. She shuddered, her eyes taking on a slight glow again, but she pushed the demon back down, shoving it with such force that it made her head start aching. Her legs gave out beneath her and she sunk back down onto the floor. The Chinook pitched again, knocking a few women and toddlers off their feet. She motioned to them to sit down.

“It’s…going to get rough…sit down and stay out of the way,” she breathed.

They immediately obeyed and sat down, holding their children in their laps and buckling their harnesses. A couple of soldiers looked at KD with perplexed expressions. She snarled at them, baring her fangs.

“WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT?!” she roared. They flinched and averted their eyes, hurrying back to their stations. KD snarled at them until they ceased looking at her altogether. She leaned her head against the wall again, fighting surge after surge of the demon’s energy. She groaned and rested her head against her knees.

What the hell is wrong with me? I can’t believe I let him do that…I can’t believe I actually…Ugh! He’s a fucking vampire for heaven’s sake!

But she couldn’t hide the blush on her cheeks, and she couldn’t deny that it had stalled the demon, even if only for a moment. She growled as the demon’s strength began to grow once again, her heart pounding in her chest. She turned her glowing gaze to the women and children just a few feet away from her and sighed.

I’m sorry you have to see me like this…

She raised a palm to her face. Her hand was still bleeding, and the smell of the blood made her stomach ache. But she pushed away the very thought of biting someone, even herself, to sate the strange hunger. She cursed the demon within her, swearing that she would never let it take the lives of her companions. She wouldn’t let it take her brave, valiant, loyal resistance, and she wouldn’t let it take Vampire-Jade or the men at his command. She’d sooner die than let anyone but her enemies be killed at the demon’s claws.

I will beat you yet, demon. Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but I will defeat you, and your power will be mine! I refuse to be your puppet!

We‘ll see about that…

The demon sent another wave of energy through her, breaking her concentration momentarily enough to get her wits shaken. She growled and gave in to the temptation to bite, but she bit the back of her wrist to keep herself from lunging at anyone. The pain shocked her enough to bring her back to her senses for a moment, long enough to make her regain control of herself. She pulled her fangs out of her skin and watched the blood well up through the puncture wounds. She pressed a piece of her torn shirt against it to stop the bleeding.

The last thing I need is to get weaker. Ugh, what was he thinking?! Well, at least I‘m back to my senses for now…I wonder how long I can hold it off…?

She rubbed at her eyes, surprised to find her cheeks damp.

What in the world…? Was I crying?!

She let out an exasperated sigh and placed a still-bleeding palm against her forehead, closing her eyes tightly.

I can’t believe this is happening now, of all times! We’re finally going somewhere safe and I’m putting everyone in danger again! This is not working out as I had planned…

But as much as she tried to keep her thoughts on track, they continued to linger toward the vampire-like man. She found herself blushing again and shook her head, as if she could rid his memory from her mind.

Agh! Maybe coming with these guys was a bad idea…

[sleon]

( 0_0... HA! I KNEW IT! ^^ I KNEW YOU GUYS WERE GONNA KISS!!! I'm just surprise that it happened earlier than expected. Oh well!)

[jman1234]

(Well now..... I knew something to that extent was up but never expected Vamp... well, yeah....

This had better not turn into a Twilight type thing.)

[Lucky Joe]

(I knew something was going to happen like that...I posted a prelude to a sex scene before, and Thunderaven posted and actually sex scene awhile back... I'm not surprised to be honest )

[sleon]

(Well now..... I knew something to that extent was up but never expected Vamp... well, yeah....

This had better not turn into a Twilight type thing.)

(do you mean the romace part or when the guy Sparkles? ^^)

[jman1234]

(No the romance is all right when its two humans but a vampire and a human is a no-no. But I can live if it comes to that.... just wont be happy.....

BTW you forgot the little () thingys)

[shadow_strike]

do you mean the romace part or when the guy Sparkles? ^^

(Probably the romance part...I really doubt Vamp wants to sparkle and have it described for 10 pages

Then again, you never know...)

[Lucky Joe]

The men surrounded Joe, all wanting to beat the living shit out of him. Joe got in a counter-attack stance; left leg back, bent, foot facing left and his right leg forward, bent as well and his foot facing forward. They circled around him, a few taking out switch-blades.

“Who wants to meet their God first?”

A man charged from behind, Joe swung his knife downwards, going back up and eventually stabbing the man directly under his rib-cage; the 9 inch blade going directly to his heart. The man stopped in his tracks. He quickly ripped the bloody knife out, and got back into his defensive stance.

“Next?”

Two men this time rushed at him this time; one to his left and the other to his right, going diagonally towards him. He noticed that the left one was running a bit faster than the right; he’d be the first one to take down. Joe lunged forward and stabbed downward with his knife, hitting the man directly into his skull. He held the blade there while the second man was still charging. He took out his Colt 45, aimed it under his arm holding the knife, and shot the man 3 times; all hitting him right in his stomach. He kicked the stabbed-mans stomach, knocking him off his bloody blade. He holstered his pistol and went back to his defensive stance. Four men rushed him at once, he just stayed in his spot and waited.

~~~

Castlemanic and a few other men stood in a small observation room. He watched as Joe started fighting the men in Green. He turned to his left, looking at The Captain-still in his care bear suite-and started to converse about Joe’s combat effectiveness. On the screen, they saw Joe slashing and shooting people who rushed at him, while the crowd around him grew bigger and bigger.

“See that? He can fuck up whatever he wants. He’s a good fighter, but he just has to be persuaded to our side.”

The Captain remained unimpressed.

“Vampire Jade did better; remember that.”

“But Joe is a bit of a better gun fighter than him, plus he is probably less remorseful.”

The Captain turned his head slightly, still looking at the slaughter on the screen.

“More than killing hundreds of men in a few minutes, over and over again?”

“Lucky Joe was a triple agent awhile ago. He held off all of us, betrayed a few assassins who he hired to kill Vampire Jade, almost destroyed the entire city of New York, led 5 man killing spree of innocent civilians that ended up killing everybody in a 8 block radius…also in New York, killed S, lost his own daughter, blew up the DQ Base in Russia, killing a few hundred people, almost including me, Vampire Jade, and Oscar. He fought Vampire Jade in a one on one deathmatch, and is probably the only one who actually survived fighting him while he is raging, led DQ on a wild goose-chase all around New York, almost caused World War III, escaped the E1337 Training Base in Australia WITH Vampire Jade, attacked our base, and probably a bunch of other shit we don’t know he’s probably done… need I explain anymore?”

The entire room had a cold silence. They all stared at the screen in utter disbelief. Wondering how a single man could do almost all of this. The Captain looked at screen as well, but looked back at Castlemanic.

“He’s a fucking loose-cannon! We can’t let him in here!”

“You’ll be turning down one of the best soldiers ever if you do.”

The Captain opened his mouth to say something, but stopped, and turned back to the screen.

Maybe he’ll be of more use to us then I first thought…

~~~

Joe stabbed the last man in the group through his neck. He looked around and saw that not many of people were around him. He took the time to look at his pistols clip; only one bullet left. The gun was consumed by shadows, and reformed again, completely reloaded. He also noticed that his clothes were soaked in blood.


New Outfit?


His entire body was covered in shadows, then went from his feet to his head, and then retracted all the way down; he noticed his was in a white jacket, blue undershirt, and green-fatigues.


My old outfit from when I first joined up DQ?

Yep, I like that outfit, it’s nice.

Whatever…


He noticed that two gangsters came out with assault rifles; AK-103s to be exact. They came from the same area, near the tenet to his left, with body armor. They had their weapons aimed at Joe, walking slowly down the path-way to the park. The two men opened fire while he ran into the playground. He run up the rusted slide, jumped up to the small plastic roof of a small intersection going to other parts of the small playground, and jumped again, diving this time. He thought in seconds.


Can you slow down time?

Yep.

How long?

Not long, I just increase your heart rate to 400bpm

…Ok…


As he dived, he noticed that he was more focused, and that time seemed a bit slower while he was going as fast as he normally would. He took out his pistol and his knife, threw his knife dart-style at the thug closest to him, did a front flip so he wouldn’t land on his head, and shot at the second thugs head, he could actually see the bullet reaching the guard at a slow pace.


Alright, put my heart beat back to normal?

Sure.


He landed on his feet right foot, balanced himself and looked back at the two dead thugs lying right next to each other.


Perfect.

(*laughing at you guys' reactions to Vamp's post*
Don't get used to it, this isn't a permanent thing, by any standards. This is just setting in motion a series of events. That's all I'm going to say for now.)

[Razgriz]

(I hate Twilight! >8[ Second, Vampire-Jade ISN'T a Vampire - He's just like one. Vampires don't exist in the CTS world. Third, Vampire-Jade has no love interest. Fourth, I'm laughing myself to death reading your reactions! )

[castlemanic]

(first off.....O.o what the fuuu.....?)

(LJ, i don't approve of the way you controlled my character there, not the way i would have done it...)

(Probably the romance part...I really doubt Vamp wants to sparkle and have it described for 10 pages

Then again, you never know...)

(If vamp were to EVER decide of even THINKING about sparkling, he'd get hell from me!)

(@vamp & KD: you did that JUST for the reactions, didnt you?)

(also, gonna take control of my character again)

[Razgriz]

(@vamp & KD: you did that JUST for the reactions, didnt you?)

(The wonders of collaboration, my friend. =3 And no, not just for the reactions. KD already said that sudden moment will trigger several other events in the future. However, number one reason why Vampire-Jade kissed her is too calm her down so he can get to work. I can never imagine him having a relationship, ever. Castlemanic and Joe worked with him, you should know well. ;D)

[10:26PM]

For a moment, Vampire-Jade sat there idle. Supporting his chin with his hand on his thigh, he pondered.

… I hope it worked… Otherwise, it would have been a waste of my time and risk…

He slowly brought a gloved finger to his lips. He slid it on them gently and brought it up to his face. He frowned as he looked at it.

… That was the first time… The first time my virgin lips ever came into contact with a woman’s…

He held on to his chest and closed his eyes.

Forgive me… I was saving it for you…

The ear-mike-set beside him began roaring, “Vampire-Jade, is there something wrong? N00b jets are reforming formation and closing in.”

He opened his eyes and positioned his ear-mike-set properly, “Systems are working just fine… I was just thinking… Engaging targets.”

The interior of the ball-turret wasn’t complex compared toward the holographic –HUD in front of him. The seat was designed for full comfort and protection; reducing most recoil which would come from the quadruple cannons. Two, non-slip triggers stuck out towards him. He donned the control head-wear and tested its reflexes.

“Incoming missiles! Brace!” The Co-Pilot’s voice boomed through the speakers around the Chinook-V21 once again.

Vampire-Jade turned directly towards the South end of the ship and held onto one trigger. The two cannons mounted on the right began fired – Utilizing an artillery’s recoil system; systematically, the upper-most cannon would fire first and sink in, followed by the one below it. Firing .50 Caliber, incendiary rounds – It ripped through the closest missile before making contact with the Chinook.

Using the control head-wear, he quickly followed the second missile. He held on to the left trigger and without wasting too much rounds, he blew holes into the now-useless missile. This was a piece of cake for him. With his reflexes and accuracy, doubled with the turret’s responsive mechanism, he can chew into the fighters’ armour without missing too much.

“Vampire-Jade, did you take down those missiles?” The voice of the Co-Pilot entered his left ear with a hint of fascination.

“Affirmative. I suggest we fly behind the other Chinooks. That way, the others would not need bother about those missiles.” His eyes focused around him, the turret’s following it as it goes. The Chinooks all entered into clouds to avoid visibility but that is not stopping the n00b fighters. He glanced at the HUD’s sensors which was picking up heat-signatures but wasn’t able to pin-point them.

“I hope you know what you are doing, Vamp. I don’t want to be the first one shot down…”

Vampire-Jade chuckled. He suddenly had a lingering thought on what he had done a while back. He closed his eyes and gave out a sigh.

He forced his eyes open and followed two jets, model: Russian Kratz-112; they flew past above him, heading towards the other Chinooks.

“Vamp! I thought you’re going to take them dow-”

He gave off a slight, irritated growl, “I know what I am doing… Do not force me to switch to mute…”

He didn’t get a reply – Just the way he wanted it. He quickly spun the ball turret around and began firing a hail of explosive rounds. A jet was trying to sneak in order to gain gun range but ended up being torn apart but the quadruple cannons. Fighter jet gun rounds are much more painful than simple missiles; Vampire-Jade won’t risk the Chinook’s cargo in order to test Netrosis’ new armour plating.

There were several strings of bullets coming from his Chinook and others. Some were taking lucky shots against the other jets which began diving in. He quickly spun the machine around and began firing quick, short, accurate bursts at the two jets already behind another Chinook. He tore off one of their wings causing that fighter to roll abruptly to the side and crash into the other fighter. The Chinook in front of them waded through the debris with nothing but superficial scratches.

“Damnit, more squadrons incoming! Five squadrons!”

This much squadrons? …

Vampire-Jade quickly aimed the cannons above him and began firing at the diving jets.

This is no ordinary strike order…

Four missiles suddenly passed him. With no effort, he swiftly made four; brief trigger pulls and took them out of the sky.

… I have my theories… One, whoever wants Kronosdragon… Must be a superior…

Three fighters were heading towards the right side of one of the Chinooks up in front; releasing missiles. Again, he quickly followed them and tore them into pieces. Suddenly, a line of rounds pounded into the armour in front of him, distracting him. He retaliated by forcing open its fuselage as it moved above him – Exploding in mid-air. His eye caught an explosion from the side of the Chinook he was defending.

As he continued sweeping the dirt from the clouds, Vampire-Jade began at his mike, “Lark, status of the recent Chinook that had a direct hit?”

“One of the guys is badly injured…”

Two… They know who E.H.T.F. are…

The Chinook continued shifting from side to side, avoiding any stray bullet from the fighters. More strings of bullets came from the sides of his Chinook, tearing down more jets coming from the side. The enemy fighters were ambushing the Chinooks through the clouds, turning the tactical advantage of low visibility against them.

Three… They still want my head… Considering I had fired my iconic T.G.R.-0X and must have pinpointed where it was last seen…

His Chinook went under another. Vampire-Jade met eye-to-eye with the belly ball-turret gunner. His ears twitched. He swiftly turned the turrets clock-wise by ninety degrees and opened fire – Taking out several missiles and two passing jets that were attempting to pull up.

Four… Which is unlikely… The n00bs were bored and wanted to take down the Resistance who apparently are transported in a heavily armoured, heavily armed, ship…

The Chinook that Vampire-Jade was in found a place by the side of another Chinook. He recoiled back slightly as a line of fighter rounds came pounding on the turret’s glass, out of the blue. He retaliated with efficiency. Another missile passed by him. Again, he took aim and made sure it didn’t reach its target. As he turned to face the fighter that launched that recent missile, the turret’s exterior exploded in – Forcing shards of the reinforced-glass into Vampire-Jade’s right eye. He gritted his teeth as he held back an agonizing scream. He got himself to hold onto the triggers and pour hell into the jet that injured him.

“Vampire-Jade! Vampire-Jade, come in! Are you alright? Please, respond!”

He layed back on the seat limply and struggled to the words out, “I… Am…. Fine…”

The sound of the passing wind made it hard for him to hear himself but the message got through, “Good. Don’t stop now!”

He felt like giving out a growl but the shard in his eye stopped him. He slowly removed the large shard, making sure nothing was left behind in his eye. He grunted long and in agony as it finally came out – His blood spilling over his coat. He tried to regain his focus, ignoring the pain although the strong pressure of wind being forced in isn’t making it things easier. The holographic-HUD was in dire static – Being of no use.

Soon, the blood that was spilt slowly crawled up the coat, on his cold, pale face and back into his eye-socket – Regenerating it.

Now, having returned, he continued supporting the other Chinooks by take down missiles or over-head divers.

… Her eyes was filled with suffering… Pain… Agony… I believe that kiss was enough to cool her spirit… Otherwise, it could be the opposite… As long the Chinook is not suddenly bursting into flames…

[11:01PM]

W rubbed his chin after hearing the report from the n00b carriers.

“Well?” D stood beside W.

“The Nizhekarelina Resistance are being transported by an unknown aircraft model…” He took a sip from his wine-glass, “Twenty squadrons of four were taken down… None of those aircrafts were taken down…”

“Suspicious…”

“Indeed…” W sat on his luxurious, red-leather office chair, “Suppose the Resistance had developed new technology for themselves…”

D was about to say something but W halted him with a palm, “What if the Resistance is much larger than you think? What if the Resistance from Nizhekarelina is merely a part of a larger infantry battalion?”

D again was halted by W, “Or what if someone is helping them?”

“Do you believe President Karlson is interfering with our affairs?”

W looked up towards him, “Our intelligence officers continues to give me a negative on their movement. They haven’t made a move as of yet.”

“What if it was D.Q.?”

“So far, D.Q. members are scattered around the world. It would take months to rally them. But if it was D.Q., we have to take this matter more seriously…”

“How about Engelo’s presence?”

“There is a possibility that he could be trying to get help against our rule…”

“Whatever the case is, Engelo and a D.Q. member are on those ships and need to be taken down!”

“We lost eighty fighters… We can’t spare anymore. They are no reports of any faction-logo or sign on these ships, they are basically anonymous...”

There was a buzzing coming from the intercom. W accepted the call, “Yes?”

“Sir!” The sound of heels clicking came from the speakers, “One of D’s subordinates wanted to talk to him.”

W gave a look at D, beside him. He nodded. “Tell that person that he will be on his way…”

Before D opened the door, he asked, “Do you believe there is a faction out there helping D.Q. members and probably rallying them against us?”

“I’d be impressed if they can topple the entire Pacifier Alliance.”

(Sorry, got quite lazy around the end – I was terribly tired and I had to go somewhere…)

[Lucky Joe]

(first off.....O.o what the fuuu.....?)

(LJ, i don't approve of the way you controlled my character there, not the way i would have done it...)

(also, gonna take control of my character again)

(Sorry, but that was a total transition stage; remember how I said that post was 'Lazily Done?', that's what I meant by that. I was kinda lazy and didn't want to just post up random slaughtering. Plus, if I do control your character {or any of the characters in the room} again, it'll most likely to change the status of the battlefield... like no weapons or something.)


(Reserved for later stuff)

(the wtf was for vamp and kds kiss, lol.)
