8:42 PM

Strike gasped for air, climbed onto the platform, and laid on her back. She hissed when the stings from the jellyfish and a bite mark she got from a shark touched the cool surface. ‘Never…again.’ She lied there and stared at the ceiling. When footsteps approached, she tensed.

“You ok?” Strike glared at Shadow. “Stupid question?” Strike’s glare got colder. Shadow sighed and threw a first-aid kit by Strike. “Use that.” Shadow walked away.

Strike slowly sat up, ignoring her body’s screams to lie back down and not move ever again. She pulled the kit towards her, opened it, and dug through it.

“Strike! Hurry up!”

Strike’s head snapped up at the voice and looked around the room.

“Come on! We don’t have all day!”

“You mean you don’t have all day. I didn’t cut off my own finger, now did I?”

“Oh shut up Johnson.”

Strike looked back down at the kit and shook her head. “Just a hallucination from the stings and blood lost…they’re not here…” She took out a bottle of disinfectant and glared at it.

“This is going to suck.” Strike poured it on a towel and put it on the wounds.

~~~~~

8:59

Shadow blinked when she heard Strike scream. “Hey! She can’t be screaming! I’m not there to cause her pain!” Shadow stood up from behind the desk and started to walk to where the scream came from. She glanced over at her penguins and stopped in her tracks.

The penguins were all in a big circle and in the middle was a penguin holding a book. They all looked up when they heard Shadow’s voice and panicked. They tried to put up the book but Shadow grabbed it from them before they could do anything.

Shadow looked at the cover with disbelief. “I thought I told you guys not to ever bring this book in here!” The penguins trembled in fear at their master’s yell. “Do you want me to rant about this again?!”

“Shut up, you yell too loud.” Strike leaned against the door way, looking paler than normal. She glared at Shadow and stumbled into the room. Shadow raised an eyebrow.

“What’s wrong with you?” Strike looked at Shadow.

“Did you seriously forget?”

“Forget what?”

“If I wasn’t in so much pain, I’d facepalm right now.” Strike sat on the ground and leaned against a pillar, trying to catch her breath. Shadow shook her head and faced the penguins.

“Meep! Meep meep meeeep meep Meep meep!” Shadow raised an eyebrow.

“Do you want to get us killed?” The penguin pointed at the unconscious Strike. Shadow grinned evilly. “So…what exactly do you have planned?” No one noticed Strike frown and break out into a cold sweat.

(Horray! Strike is hearing voices in her head! =D)

[Lucky Joe]

(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)

(Yeah, in the story Vampire Jade chose to take a contract to kill me instead of getting laid by a Pay Lady/Assassin named Casandra.)



Hey, knife please?

What type of knife?

Any kind, I don’t care.

Alright.


In his hand formed just a handle. The handle was mirrored on both sides, just plain black with crease in the middle.


Fuck is this?

Flip it open.


He noticed that the handle had a latch on it. He flipped the hatch and opened up the handle, out of it came a shiny blade; he opened up the handle until the handle reformed and a blade appeared at the front.


You gave me a butterfly knife?

Yeah, you said any knife.

Sure, but a Butterfly Knife is a trick knife, not a combat knife.

Just try it, you’ll like it, I guarantee.

Whatever…


(A bit of visual aid.)



He played around with the blade a little, doing a few spinning tricks with his fingers. He laughed, reminiscing about older times.

A few more people came walking around the buildings, same look as the people before. The rushed him, this time with improvised weapons. The first one to reach him had a bat. He flipped the butterfly knife open and stabbed directly into the man’s’ stomach; making him drop his bat. The man stood up, looking shocked about his injury, as the knife was still in his stomach, he reached down to pull the knife out, but had his vision obstructed by a swinging bat. He flew back, landing about three feet away; knife still in his stomach. The last thing he saw was Joe, standing with his bat slung over his shoulder.

“Home run!” Joe screamed with excitement, running back to pick up his knife. He ripped it out of the dead gangster’s stomach, did a small little flip trick to make it so it was Blade Out RGEO style, and dropped the bat.


(If any of you are wondering what Blade Out RGEO Style is, it’s this. http://i45.tinypic.com/1534poz.jpg)


He waited as more charged at him; one had a chair, the other a bat, the third a crowbar and the fourth a kitchen knife.

The closest one to him was the gangster with the kitchen knife, coming from the tenet to his left. Joe stomped the handle of the bat, making it stickup, he grabbed the hitting end, tossed it upwards, caught it, aimed the handle end at the runner like a javelin and threw it at him. The edge of the wooden bat slammed directly into the gangster’s nose; he fell over with the thud.

The one with a crowbar came from behind Joe; the man attempted to swing downwards to cave in his head. He missed and ended up having the Balisong 8 inch directly into his mouth. Joe let the knife stay where it was while the man fell down on the body of another victim. He picked up the crowbar, brandished it, and waited while more men came over from the play ground and the tenets. Joe decided this battle would best be on the street. He rushed over; gangsters following. When he reached the middle of the street, he stopped and waited for the rest of them to catch up.

The street he was on was a one-way street, on the side in front of him was the park area, and the side behind him were more tenets, but barred off by steel-framed doors. He brandished the crow bar and waited for the rest of the men. The man with the bat was first.

He rushed over towards Joe. Joe raised the crowbar above his head as the gangster rushed at him hitting-edge first. As the man got close enough to hit, Joe jumped out of the way and swung the crowbar in the opposite direction of the man running; it clothes lined him. He slammed into the ground. Joe slammed the crowbar down at the gangsters head; caving it in. He picked the gangsters bat, and waited for the one with a chair, accompanied by two other gangsters.


Fuck group fighting.


Joe took out his pistol and aimed at the gangsters charging. They noticed that he had taken out his pistol and stopped, surprised. As one turned back to run away, Joe shot him. He quickly shot the other two men; they both fell down, dead.


~~~~


“He started to use his gun. I say it’s time we let those men have a chance. Gerard!” The Captain screamed at one of the Simulation Operators.

“Yep?” The man said, looking at the main screen.

“Give the gangsters hand-guns. They might need them now.”

“K.” The man stood on a small platform, after a few seconds, he started to speak again. “Done sir, the next one that spawns will have a random pistol.”

Castlemanic looked at The Captain.

“This should be interesting.”


~~~~


Joe looked around at the small field of bodies around this small neighborhood. He noticed that there were no other gangsters around. He looked at a random direction and screamed.

“What? Am I done?”

No response. He obviously wasn’t. He looked around, to see if there were any more victims. Nothing… just silence.

“I don’t like this…”

The silence was interrupted by small-arms fire. A round zoomed past Joes head. He ducked, turned to his right, and started running towards a parked jalopy.


Finally, some fun!

[kronosdragon]

[10:56PM]

KD struggled to keep her focus as the Chinook continued to shift and sway. She could hear the rattle of bullets coming from above, and she silently hoped that Vamp was okay. She felt another wave of heat well up from within her and turned her thoughts away from him.

I have to concentrate. As inappropriate as the action was, he did do me a favor by bringing me back to my senses. That doesn't mean I'm going to let him get away with that, though...

KD sighed and closed her eyes tightly in concentration. She could feel herself slowly losing this power struggle. She opened her mouth as her breathing quickened. Her jaw tingled to clamp down on something. Her eyes began to glow a little brighter, her eye color changing to a dark, bloody red. She paled as her stomach churned.

What the hell are you doing to me? Trying to make me sick?

She groaned and hugged her knees.

I won't be able to fight it off for much longer...Hurry the hell up, dammit!

She was amazed she could hold it off for this long. Every passing moment was blazing agony. Her body suddenly started screaming at her. She gasped as every nerve sent pain signals to her brain at once, casting her into a stage of torture. A man ran up to her.

"KD! KD, hold on! We're getting a sedative!"

"No! Anything but a sedative! Morphine! I need morphine dammit!" KD hissed.

"I don't know if we have any-"

"THEN LOOK!"

KD's rage was all too real, forcing the man to go back to his medic kit and take a second look. He came back with a syringe.

"We don't have morphine, but we have oxycodone. Will that be alright?"

"YES! Whatever! Just hit me with it!"

The man quickly pierced her heated skin with the needle and injected the drug. After a few seconds, she relaxed a little and sighed.

"Ugh, I still hurt, but at least my body isn't screaming at me anymore. Thank you."

The man nodded and backed away. KD relaxed her tensed muscles and closed her eyes. She breathed deeply, trying to calm herself.

If this keeps up, things are going to get a hell of a lot-

"Hurk!"

She doubled over, her stomach exploding with pain. She felt as if she'd just been punched in the gut by someone wearing steel boxing gloves.

Just give up already, child. You can't hope to keep me from my freedom! You'll pass out from the pain I will put you through before you push me away!

Fuck you!

KD raked her claw-like nails against the floor of the Chinook, putting light-colored claw marks in the metal. Her eyes began to blaze and brightened from blood red to flame red. She snarled and bared her fangs.

"Give her the sedative!"

"But she said-"

"NOW!"

KD's vision was blurring, but she could hear the stomping of boots as one of her men came near her.

"KD, whatever you do, don't leave us! Hang in there!"

Another man approached with a needle.

"No! Don't give me the sedative!"

KD snatched the needle from the medic and tossed it away.

"That will only make things worse! Get away from me!"

KD felt a little tired. Her entire body ached something fierce. She just wanted to sleep, to let go of the fight. But she knew all too well what would happen if she did.

Yes my dear, sleep, rest, fall into deep slumber...

No...I won't let you escape...

It is inevitable. You can't keep fighting forever, and I will rise again sooner than you think.

KD clenched her teeth as a wave of relaxation came over her. The demon was letting it's hold on her go slack for a moment. She could feel the pure energy in this power struggle, and it was clear that the demon was winning. KD grumbled and grabbed the collar of the resistance member nearest to her. She pulled herself halfway up to meet his eyes.

"Listen to me. If I should turn while on this aircraft, I want you to do something for me."

"Anything, KD."

"I need you to put a bullet in my head."

The man stared at her in shock.

"KD, I can't do that..."

"You can, and you will. It's my order."

"...Yes ma'am..."

"Good boy."

KD let him go and slumped against the wall, utterly worn down. She gently thumped her head on the wall.

Think KD, think! There has to be a way out of this...

She closed her eyes and felt herself drifting. She pried her eyes open again.

No, I can't fall asleep. That's definitely not going to make things any better.

She listened to the gunfire coming from above, and heard an explosion somewhere nearby. She sighed and tried to concentrate again, while her body wasn't in a state of constant agony. She laid a hand over her arm and shrunk back from the heat. Her skin was almost unbearably hot. She watched as something like charred skin started to creep its way over her arms in black streaks. Ashes fell away to reveal bright red beneath the blackened skin. It didn't hurt, but it made her skin crawl uncomfortably.

I can't let this happen, not when I have people depending on me!

[castlemanic]

(Joe, you idiot, Gerard runs the simulation using his ability. There are no simulators used to run the ring.)

Castlemanic took a look as he watched Joe use his ability.

Shadow manipulation? By all means it looks like it.

He had always known that all abilities had some sort of category to it, and he took a wild guess at this one. He wasn't fully convinced with his answer though, as a shadow manipulator would have been able to do other stuff that Lucky Joe couldnt, but at the same time they wouldn't be able to do what he could.

So what the hell is it?

[sleon]

(*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.)

(by setting in motion a series of events you mean vamp-senpai gonna do something More than just kiss?)

(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! )

(I could agree with all except the third one. in the other post you said you were saving it for someone. wouldn't that mean that Vampire-jade does have a love interest? )

[kronosdragon]

(by setting in motion a series of events you mean vamp-senpai gonna do something more than just kiss?)

(No! DX No No No No No! Agh!)

[Razgriz]

(Yeah, in the story Vampire Jade chose to take a contract to kill me instead of getting laid by a Pay Lady/Assassin named Casandra.)

(Yeah, this line is important. Keep it hammered in your heads. ;3 Oh, her name now is Morgan. I re-used Cassandra's name as one of the female E1337s.)

(by setting in motion a series of events you mean vamp-senpai gonna do something More than just kiss?)

(Nope, that's not what she meant, or I for that matter. It's not what you think - The absolute reason why he did it was to cool Kronosdragon down and make sure the demon wasn't set loose. He predict that it would work after analyzing her spirit - Otherwise, he wouldn't say anything because he felt it was a bad move.)

(I could agree with all except the third one. in the other post you said you were saving it for someone. wouldn't that mean that Vampire-jade does have a love interest? )

(Maybe... Perhaps... She could be dead, for all you know...)

[Lucky Joe]

(Might not be posting for about a day or two, if I have a small amount of time, I might do a little add on to a fire fight, not much.)

"So you were shipped off to the New York Military Academy?" The man sat behind a desk. But you could tell that he wasn't comfortable with it.
"Yes, Sir."
"And that's where you heard about us."
"That's right, Sir."
"Wrong." The man snarled at the boy, leaned over the desk and grabbed his collar. The man brought his face closer to the boy's. "You didn't hear nuthin' about us. We heard about you. That's why your here. You think that we'd be careless enough to let pissy, little military school boys know about us?"
"No, Sir."
"Good. Now let's get down to business."

"Number 27!" A young male steps forward from the line. "You have completed your training. You will now go by Kalas Alseif. From this point on, you have no family, no friends. Just orders and targets."
Kalas nodded then stepped back in line.

"You're one of our best. But, to make you even better, we need to erase your memory of anything that could affect your performance." Kalas frowned. He thought of his mother. He thought of his father's sacrifice to his country. He looked at the floor.
"But what if I don't want to forget?"
"Listen, you chose to go along with this. You could have said no back in Germany. Now, you have the full package or nothing at all."
Kalas was angry. They were trying to take away his memories, erase any trace of who once was.
"No! I refuse."
"This is bullshit! Guards restrain him!" Two guards grabbed Kalas and tried to force him into the machine.
"No! Get the hell off of me!"

An explosion shook the room. The machine was damaged, but Kalas was fine.
The man was lying on the floor, Unable to move his legs.
"We...will hunt...you...down." he breathed.
"We? Others may but not you." Kalas grabbed the man's head and twisted it sharply.

"Those bastards. They put me in that...machine. But I broke out. I killed them. But why can't I remember?" Kalas was sat on a wooden chair. A single T.V. was placed in the corner of the room. He switched it on.
"The body of a man was found at the Waterloo Station earlier today. The body was said to have the same wounds and branding as the previous four victims. The authorities believe that these murders are connected in some way. DCI Brown warns people in the area to stay at home. The killer has not been identified. If you do see anything suspicious please call the BBC News hotline straight-"

"Media bullshit." Kalas turned his chair to face a restrained man in another chair. "They've sent 5 assassins before. What, did you think you would succeed?" The man tried to wriggle in the chair but the bonds were too tight. "You do know that you won't make it out of here. You’ see, the guys back at base sent you on a death mission. It didn't matter whether you completed it or not. If you did, they would have killed you because you could have been compromised. I suppose it's a good thing you didn't. I just saved you the journey back."
Kalas emptied the clip of his silenced M9 into the man.

Kalas opened his car door, ignited the engine and drove. He had no destination, no targets. He just had to survive. Where am I going? What am I going to do? Run for the rest of my life? Hell no. I have to stop them, but i'll need help from the guys back at base.

Kalas looked up. A sign for Heathrow airport passed. "Nevada, here I come."

[Razgriz]

[10:56PM]

“Yeah, we did it!”

“Wohoo!”

“Go to hell, n00b bastards!”

Vampire-Jade slowly lifted the turret’s hatch and emerged. He listened to the cheering of the E.H.T.F. soldiers around him. He coolly walked back towards the cargo hold until Sergei-Spawn One, the E.H.T.F. squadron leader of the soldiers in this Chinook, came up to him.

“Sir, we noticed that you received an explosion.” Vampire-Jade gave him a look. “- And considering it’s you… I don’t think there’s anything to worry about…”

He slowly walked past him then stopped a few steps away, “How many on the kill list? …”

“We took down eighty fighters and that is one hell of an intercept strike force…” The officer glanced behind him, checking up on his men.

“I know. Do we have any casualties?”


“No, sir. Just some injured after having a bumpy ride in their Chinooks.”

“I see, glad to hear that none was killed.” With his hands in his coat’s pockets, he continued moving, “By the way, the back ball-turret will be needing repairs – Both the canopy and HUD display unit.”

The E.H.T.F. officer saluted, “Yes sir, I’ll make sure the pilots note it down.”

Vampire-Jade continued off; without turning, he returned a fading salute.

~~~~~

The cargo hold door slid open. The passengers turned their heads to see Vampire-Jade walking in. He walked in as if nothing had happen.

One of the men whispered to another, “Hey, J-Man. I hear this is the guy who call the shots of this evacuation.”

Vampire-Jade glanced to his side and watched as the man referred to as J-Man watched him walked by. He hasn’t met J-Man before, although he knew he was safely escorted by an E.H.T.F. soldier. Now he knows who he is.

He came closer to the seat where he left his weapon belts. He turned to Kronosdragon. She was much calmer unlike a while ago. She was resting her head, drifting off. Though, it appears she is avoiding a slumber. Again, she wasn’t paying mind to Vampire-Jade’s presence.

He looked at her with sympathetic eyes. He picked up his belts and slung them over his shoulder.

Did it work? … Was my prediction right? … Did that illusion helped her hold the demon a little longer? … Hm, there is only one way to find it obvious…

He walked towards her. He neatly kept the belts on the seat beside her. Paying no mind to the murmuring around him, he calmly sat down beside her.

[kronosdragon]

KD heard footsteps coming toward her. She flexed her fingers. She had an itching sensation, and it made her want to claw something again. When a presence dropped itself beside her, she turned her gaze to it. It was Vamp.

"You've got some balls coming back here," KD sighed wearily. She was too tired to put up a good fight, so she just averted her eyes and looked up at the ceiling. She closed her eyes in concentration and swallowed hard. Her throat was dry.

"I hope you know that what you did was totally inappropriate. You make me sick."

[Razgriz]

Vampire-Jade ignored her. He kept a leg on top of the other and leant back; folding his arms. Again, he was staring at the ceiling.

… Inappropriate indeed… But as it appears… The demon had not been released…

He gave of a slight chuckle of satisfaction.

… I suppose being beside her will indulge her mind into thinking back into that moment… If my predictions are right, it would make her think about it more rather than the demon, causing it to be pushed down…

[kronosdragon]

KD listened to the murmuring around her. It made her uneasy that Vampire-Jade was so quiet. She couldn't help feeling safe when she was in his presence, however. She tried to keep her focus. She pulled her mind away from thoughts of him and turned back to concentrating on staying awake. Her eyes flew open as a sudden wave of pain passed through her nerves again. She hissed and called for one of her men.

"Agh, get the damn oxycodone again!" she snapped.

A needle was rushed to her and she grabbed it, stabbing it into her own arm and injecting the fluid. The heat from her hands made the drug within feel warm as it flowed through her veins. She took a few gasps of air and slowly brought her breathing back to normal. She sighed and rested her head against the wall with a solid thump.

This is not going to end well...

[Razgriz]

He watched things unfold. Vampire-Jade frowned and leant his head back on the head-rest.

… The demon still dares attacking… Then again, am I way over my head? … I am dealing with a supernatural force… This has nothing to do with those abilities D.Q. members exhibit and myself, whatever I am…

He dug into his coat pocket and took out his P.D.A. He scanned through the list of the surviving D.Q. members’ life signatures. They are still out there, ready to be rallied together. So far, not one member is under distress, currently. He scanned down to find a list of members with no life signatures. He choked as he found the names of his friends. He closed the D.Q. satellite window and kept the P.D.A. back in the pocket.

He turned to Kronosdragon, who seemed to be quite calm and much quieter. He even wonders if the Oxycodone or that kiss was holding that demon back. He rolled his eyes.

… Perhaps, it was a waste of a risk…

[kronosdragon]

KD breathed a sigh and brought a palm to her forehead. She brushed the hair out of her face, and realized just how much she had been sweating. She wiped her brow. She felt a tad more energized, and looked over at Vamp. Her body shook with a mixture of pain and fatigue, but she still had some fight left in her after all.

"What did you think you were doing, making a scene like that? Do you know how ridiculous that was? We barely know each other, you bastard. Not like I'm ungrateful for the things you've done, but that is where I draw the line. I'm sure there was some other way you could have brought me out of it. Fucking men...Pssh."

KD crossed her arms and winced at the pain from her broken ribs. She dropped her hands back in her lap as the demon started laughing at her.

You know you enjoyed it.

Shut the hell up! I did not!

...I did.

Ugh!

[Razgriz]

He stared at the ceiling for a moment, rolling his eyes.

… I would not agree more – That move was utterly ridiculous…

He turned to Kronosdragon, loosely looking at her, his face doesn’t indicate any sort of emotion. He bent closer to her, “You are welcome…”

[kronosdragon]

"W-What for?! It's not like I asked for that!" KD said shrinking away from him with a sudden jolt, as if she'd been shot.

Well, you kinda did, the way you were acting.

Did I ask for your input? Besides, it was YOU who made me act like that, you fucking-

He's a great kisser.

What is WRONG with you? Aren't you supposed to be trying to take over my body or something?

I still am, I just like to make you squirm.

I hate you...

[Razgriz]

He again leant back; his leg still over the other, “Notice this; your lips and tongue moved as if you were in love. I can feel your breathing and body being relaxed. You even had your arms around me. It appears you enjoyed it…”

He waved his hand dismissively.

… As long the demon does not make a move… I am fine that way…

He folded his arms and comfortably leant on the seat.

[kronosdragon]

KD felt an intensely hot blush rise to her cheeks.

"I...WHAT?! You fucking-!"

She lunged at him and knocked him down on the floor. She pinned him down, her knees on his stomach, and landed a solid punch to his jaw.

"I'm going to fucking murder you for that!"

She snarled at him, baring her fangs. If there was any time she wanted that urge to bite, it was now. She glared down at him, even though her body was still shaking from the pain and fatigue that plagued her.

[Razgriz]

There was no soldier around to stop her from attacking the leader of this operation.

The women and men stood up to see how things unfold.

All he did was laugh. He never laughed in a while.

“At least the demon was not released. I suppose it gave me enough time to defend this ship and come back to keep an eye on you.”

His laugh slowly faded into a chuckle as he lay his eyes loosely on her.

[kronosdragon]

KD growled at him and dug her nails into his shoulders.

"Don't give me that crap! Stop laughing at me!"

She hated the fact that she couldn't push away that stupid blush on her face. His voice still rang in her ears.

It appears you enjoyed it...

Well you did.

I did NOT!

KD turned her nose up at Vamp and climbed off of his stomach.

"'Keep an eye on me' my half-turned demonic ass," she hissed, crossing her arms.

Then she suddenly realized that the pain had stopped...there was no pain, whatsoever...Even where her broken ribs were. She cautiously prodded her rib cage with a finger, only to realize that all of her wounds no longer hurt. She tore off the bandages around her torso and found that the wound was completely gone.

"Oh god no..."

She felt an intense wave of heat and energy charge through her.

I knew you were plotting something! You are NOT getting out!

Like hell I won't!

KD's fingers flexed and her eyes glowed. She growled and pressed back against the power trying to cast her mind into darkness. She succeeded in pushing it away a little while longer. Her eyes faded and she gasped for breath.

"Damn it all! Someone just shoot me already!" KD said, tugging at her hair.

[Razgriz]

He gave off as sigh as he slowly got up. He watched as the Resistance men and women murmuring to each other in confusion. After what he had been told by the Resistance old-man, they are all loyal to the D.Q. member that pounced on him and wouldn’t dare shoot her.

He again calmly sat beside her; returning back to his seating posture.

He gave of a slight ‘heh’ then bent close to Kronosdragon who turned her nose away from him.

“… Keep that demon in and probably I will not kiss you again… Besides, I was not planning on it…”

He leant back and slowly closed his eyes – Resting.

[kronosdragon]

KD gave a defiant "Hmph!" at this statement. Her eyes glimmered mischievously.

"Just so you know, the demon rather enjoyed that."

KD prodded her ribs again, marveling at the healing powers of a demon.

If I can just keep this body without you breaking free, I wouldn't mind looking like a demon. I feel stronger already.

Silence, fool! You can't keep me locked away, not when I have my claws dug in so deep as they are now! You'll slowly begin to lose consciousness, and when you finally sleep, I'll take my freedom, then I'll have my way with this...Vampire-Jade, you called him? Heh, this should be fun...

Y-You'll do no such thing!

KD realized she had said that out loud and quickly covered her mouth.

Need to quit doing that...

[Razgriz]

He opened his eyes and narrowed them. He looked pale; then again, it’s just him.

Oh dear… I gave the demon what it wanted…

He gave himself a face-palm and slowly dragged the glove down his face.

… That kiss it gave me… Oh dear…

He continued to narrow his eyes in irritation.

“Y-you’ll do no such thing!”

His keen sense of hearing picked up a slight murmur beside him.

… It appears the demon in her is having diabolical plans… And I hope it is not for me…

He closed his eyes and continued to rest – The E.H.T.F. base is not too far now.

[kronosdragon]

KD glanced over at Vampire-Jade. His eyes were still closed. She sighed and shoved away another one of the demon's advances. One of her eyebrows twitched in annoyance. She scratched the tip of her nose with one of her claws. She looked up at her resistance members. Their faces were filled with worry and fear. She felt bad for making them worry like this. She looked over at Vampire-Jade, then quickly looked away when her eyes started trailing over his slim features. She resisted a blush as she crossed her arms.
