Sakura

Sakura gave a curt nod to Edelgard's assessment. It seems a bit small, doesn't it? She clicked her tongue, her fangs bared at the display of gorey violence. The scythe veritably dripped with blood, and it was admittedly enticing. However, she shook her head. "I'd rather taste more of your blood. Or hire one of those demons."

"Still, this can't be the entire force. Where do you think they're hiding their extras?"

Valerie

"Over there!"

Valerie suddenly threw her scythe again, this time in the direction of the Hollow Queen, nay slightly above her. It would just barely miss her and deflect the projectile just before it could hit.

"Jump Edelgard, deal with the shooter."

Valerie barked out the order to what was basically the subordinate of her subordinate. If the girl understood the chain of command in a situation like this then she should obey something like that,

Then The Vampire King begun calmly strolling down the hill and headed directly into the path of the retreating invaders.

Edelgard

The order became action, and experience became automatic motion. Edelgard pulled her polearm from her back, crouched low in the probable direction of the attacker over the horizon, and with a nod to Sakura, hurled. Forthright End sailed away with a sonic boom, and a second struck as the Forsaken lancer blurred onto the weapon's haft like a skiiing board.

She crossed the sky like a rocketed anchor, and a whole line of trees split and shook in her wake the instant the tip of the spear passed into the park.

The Intruders

Even Valerie could not catch up to all of them the way the attackers were scattering about, not unless she were to pick up her pace from a simple stroll. However, going along a simple circuit around allowed her to intercept an APC that had managed to survive the initial counterattack, and it immediately began to open fire in her direction with a barrage of bullets.

Harley

Cling!

Harley turned around, only to see the trees of the park splitting to make way for the warrior's path.  The young woman looked around, wondering where the attack may have come from.  Since it all happened before she could really process it fully, she couldn't pinpoint it.

"Yes.  Flee humans.  This is the power of solidarity, of unity through shared strife!" she said, finally ceasing her bombing.  "Flee to your leader and let him know the true power of the monsters they so hate."




Sniper

"I don't think I can keep that promise...  Code black." the man said, looking at the figure coming right towards him.  Something capable of speed like that couldn't be fought in a head on battle.  The man's body turned tranlucent, his form melting into the background.  As trees fell and the ground unearthed by shockwaves, the sniper hoped that the chaos would allow him to slip away.  He moved to the right of her arrival, concealing his movement through soft steps.  After all, there was no point in running away.

Sakura

Pulsating, amorphous blobs of colorless absence rushed out of Sakura's shadow past Valerie. They split off from each other into four groups, each heading a different direction in order to cut off and capture as many of the attackers as they were able to.

She followed closely behind Valerie, just a step behind her, ears keenly aware of all of the tumult and chaos of the battlefield. "The woman who's fighting the invaders, she seems scarcely better than-"

As soon as the spray of bullets erupted from the APC, a dark wall formed from her sleeve, melting the incoming bullets as they entered the dense wall of concentrated mana. She pointed her free hand at the armored vehicle, and a rapid wave of curses erupted from her fingertip.

Valerie

"She is not however.... stop attacking them." The latter half was aimed at Sakura.

The Vampire King calmly stepped out before the dark wall and marched into the hail of bullets. They bounced of harmlessly on her skin doing naught by bruising her, and these bruises faded in the blink of an eye.

"Tell you commander to cease this foolish operation or else Valerie will go out on a walk!"

Edelgard

Dust fell, splinters flew, leaves rained down, and Edelgard dismounted her spear, flipping it into her grip. She gave Valerie and Sakura in the distance a half-second glance, then scanned through the fallen trees. It didn't smell like blood here yet.

Edelgard bent her knees, slid the half of the weapon down her palms to extend her reach, and then began to swing. The air and yet-standing trunks screamed as she spun around, swiping at every direction with brutal swiftness, carving a veritable clearing around her where there was no escape nor hiding place.

The Intruders

Slowly, the vehicle adjusted its current position until the rear of it was perfectly facing towards Valerie, towards the wall of shadows which had, it seemed from the short-lived scream of pain, injured at least one of the men who had been shooting out of the side gun port before Sakura worked her sinister sorcery. A moment after the vampire's threat resounded forth, the hatch atop the armored vehicle raised, and a figure in full body armor rose from within unarmed.

He lifted his hands up as if in surrender.

The others, farther and father away by now, continued onward.

Zeke

7:31

The setting sun shone a warm orange glow, with the sky's beautiful hues illuminating the war field. As the music blared to a crescendo, the waging battle took precious lives that can never be returned. Above those falling bodies, those brave soldiers, a new light shone.

"We have arrived."



A comet of death crashed in the middle of the war field, right between two enemies about to kill each other. As Candlemen and Columbians assaulted one another, a single star stood in their way, burning and crashing the ground beneath them. And as promised by the elven queen, the most troublesome man in the Nexus had kept his promise.

But the sudden comet's fire vanished, and revealed two eyes glaring at the enemies. Zeke asked them... all of them, a single question.

"Whom here seeks to spill their neighbor's blood futilely?"

Two hands blurred in a moment to grab the Columbian and the Candleman's skull, and he smacked the two together as if they were children to knock them out on the spot. A grave step marched forward. The flames threatened to burn all those around him. A deterring, uncaring, and irrational force that would tear asunder whatever was in its path was building up. The moment it released... they would all die uselessly.

"Those with families, loved ones, or the will to live... lay down your arms and fangs. Whoever desires to fire their weapon can do so while our fist flattens their hearts to dust."

His clenched fist warned of a true strike, and the next step was the last warning before destruction. Even his eyes, filled with pity, were like a corpse's. For that is what would meet a futile struggle. Death. It was this world's division that hindered true progress and prosperity. It will not stand. The monster would indiscriminately slaughter everything if they resumed their chicanery.

Sniper/Harley

"ACK!"

One half of a body fell to the ground, lifeless.  The man's horrified eyes stared blankly at Edelgard.  Strangely enough, his legs remained firmly planted on the ground, painted by the blood that splattered the ground beneath that body.

The hallowqueen emerged from a streetlight a few meters from Edelgard, a hand on her hip, her eyes lowered and a disappointed frown on her face.  "Valarie....  She and her people always go so overboard.  Don't you people know these types of agents are best captured?  I am going to have to spend the next few weeks hiding in my home afraid of assassinations because of this."

Somewhere in the district

A young bat woman sat in the corner of a dimly lit room, lazily holding the phone in her hand.  The screen read dead vitals.  With a frown, she turned to the men in the room, obscured by shadow.

"He's dead and Harley lives."

"The Columbians will attack again.  Maybe we should try during another assult."

The bat woman sighed.  "No this is more complicated than that.  We can't wait for the world to change to make our move.  We are moving to plan C.  Move out boys.  There is a lot of work that needs to be done."

Sakura Edelfeldt

Sakura's shield retreated back into her sleeve, and she ceased attacking at Valerie's order. Her shadows circled around the surrendering mob without approaching any closer, and she stood next to her superior, feeling pride in her ability to defend herself and her lord silently. "Shall I capture them? Or pull my shadows back?" She asked.

Valerie

Over the link that connected the two vampires, Sakura would feel a cautionary tell, urging her to not make any rash move.

"Good boy"

She was there.

In the blink of an eye the blonde vampire had simply appeared before the armored man. When standing so close to him, it was easy to see she was barely half his the size of bulk. Even so, her presence dwarfed that of any mortal man, this wasn't some little girl standing before, no this was something more, something ancient.

"Now hand me your radio so I can speak with you leader, we are going to have a nice long chat and then everyone will get along, or else... You do not want to know that part hehe..." The blonde giggled in a decidedly non cute way the raspy undertone and the threats made it far from cute, and to make it worse for the poor soldier her fangs were completely exposed.

You could guess how powerful a vampire was by how long their fangs was, the further removed from the king you were, the more petite they would become. As for Valerie herself it was completely impossible to hide them once she got excited.

Edelgard

The wind died as Edelgard halted the arc of Forthright End with both hands, and she turned to the interjector with recognition. The warrior gave the fresh body and the trail of blood left on the weapon's edge a confirming glance, then answered.

"Hostages are luxury. Target a leader's life, and they lose the right to demand theirs." She sent the woman, who'd been at the head of the defending forces, a nod that could barely pass for a greeting. Right away, her senses recalibrated towards the battlefield that now stuttered.

The Intruders

The man stared her down, or at least as best he could with his face concealed the way it was. She could smell the sweat coming off him, see the way his body was tense with terror, and yet... He handed Valerie the radio at his side, and the moment she pressed the button to talk through it there was a flash.

The sound of the detonation came later, accompanied by metal shrapnel caught by Sakura's wall of shadows and prevented from being able to reach or do anything to anyone whose name didn't start with a V.

-------------

The Other Intruders

Civilians, most certainly, had been caught in the crossfire. Or the literal fire spread by the Candlemen.

Or both.

So it was that, amid the carnage and the chaos and the thunder and the threats, the men there and their metal boxes with their guns and cannons push forth in their desperate struggle despite the horror set before them. What was one more monster, after all?

Of course, that wasn't accounting for the corpses of their comrades slowly rising in the path they left behind...
