Darkness was falling quickly. Moon and sun were switching places in the sky. The guards were switching places in front of the stone tower. It didn't look like a prison, with the creamy off white bricks, light wooden lattices, and climbing roses and bright green ivies winding their way over bricks. Inside too, it wasn't quite a prison. It was brightly lit and dry though the swamp lands outside would like to prove differently. It was white washed and though it couldn't have been comfortable it was sweetly simple. The food too was perfectly fine although the girl inside wouldn't even think about eating it.
The aforementioned girl looked around 16 in body, but looking at her face showed a different story. Her cheeks looked hallow, and with the shadows under her eyes they produced a ghastly effect. Her pointing chin was resting wanly on her fragile looking hands and tendrils of her almost white blonde hair curled around her ears falling to rest on the window sill. More of the enchanting hair fell down to her waist in the same waving manner. She looked down, watching the guards switch. Sun and moon were close now. It was time for him to come.
He came swaggering down the stone path, careful to keep his shoes dry. He stopped and talked to the leaving guard for a few moments, walked a few more paces and talked to the new guard. They looked up a few times while gesturing towards the tower. The girl's face paled, the last traces of pink washed out, probably forever. Her heart was beating faster now almost visibly shaking her fragile body. Now the man opened the wooden door and started climbing the long circles of stairs. He clomped his way up and the girl tightened her silk robe even closer to her skin as if for some extra warmth and protection.
"Knock, knock." A sandpapery voice blurted out before pushing open the door. He wore black boots, with black pants tucked in. His leather jacket was without insignia over another black shirt. His hair was shaved maybe half an inch long making his squared chin look more sinister than just the outfit would have done. Black eyes stared out of his olive toned face.
"Hello Aurelia," he said twisting his head around cracking his neck. He leaned against the door watch Aurelia stare out the window. "I wouldn't do that. There is a guard waiting ready to blow your brains out." He stated carelessly. "Well... Won't you offer me a seat?"
"Yes sir, take a seat sir." Aurelia said, now staring at a place above his head. Her hands curled up into fists, there was no strength to them though. Just fragile skin a bone.
"Oh, now that sounds so unbelievably formal. Call me Ari." He grinned filthily at her. "Now that formalities are over," he walked closer to her and reached into his jacket. Aurelia's eyes widened.
"Yes, it's a pistol. Now tell me!" He started calmly ending up yelling.
She hesitated and then, "no."
"What?" He asked calmly.
"No." She said once more.
"Yes." He replied.
"No!" She yelled, amazed.
Bang! the pistol went off. A silver bullet whizzed through the air landing shatteringly in Aurelia shoulder. She froze for a second unsure, then the pain hit her. A scream, wailing and painful shot out of her mouth. Ari stood, laughing as Aurelia clutched her right shoulder. Scream after scream came from her mouth, blood seeping through her fingers.

Gigas heard the screams come from the castle that loomed before him. The screams were not screams of joy or even of fear but of pain extreme pain Gigas knew about that kind of scream all to well...

(flashback)


Woman: No! No! dont take him! Take Me instead i beg of you take me!!

Man: alright then il lay him down so he can whatch his mother die!!!

Woman: No dont AHHHHHH.......

(present)

Gigas looked up where he heard the screams and knew what he had to do he through down his bag full of provinsions for his trip he was going to take up to another kingdom and lifted into the air bursting through th front gates killing several gaurds with the doors as the flew off and smashed inbto the side of the wall. He unsheathed his buster blade and as he did the chains around it flung off and started to float around Gigas. The looks on the mens faces were that of fear as the chains started to impale the soliders while Gigas stood there and laughed as they fled in terror. Then he looked up at the tower where he heard the scream and turned then flying over to the side of the wall where he saw a man with a gun and what seemed like a girl still screaming with her hand on her arm.

Gretor was hacking the bark off of a tree, so he could get at the insects underneath. As he was stuffing his face, He thought back to his Amazonian home that was ravaged by the humans. He thought of the Dense foilage, the plentiful food, the agonized screaming... Wait, what? No,that wasn't a memory! He nimbly leapt through the trees towards the source of the sound. When he finally arrived, he saw a stone tower with a man in front, fighting guards. The man was dressed in black. And, upon closer inspection, Gretor nearly fell out of the tree after seeing what he thought were wings! His attention suddenly snapped back to the screaming, which appeared to be coming from the tower. He scaled the wall and leaped onto the tower, using his natural gift of climbing against the rough vertical stone. He peeked into the window and saw a man with a gun and a girl who was bleeding from her arm.

Gretor had witnessed many acts of injustice by humans. They had always disgusted him. In his native community, all the members of his species helped each other, never leaving one behind. He had only recently started intervening when he saw something concerning humans.

Gretor wasn't exactly sure what a gun was, but he knew enough to realize what had happened. He grew immensely mad and decided that someone shooting an unarmed human was a time appropriate for intervention. He leaped into the room, spreading his arms, showing his blades and screeching in a manner that usually sent humans tripping over themselves to get away.

Hikan awoke from his slumber with a start, the sounds of battle echoed within the stone walls of the tower. He leaped out of his bed, pausing only for a moment to draw a ward against the darkness on his forehead in red paint. Grabbing his revolver he slotted in 6 inscribed silver bullets and hurried up the stairs into the highest room. His captain had already shot their captive, but they needed her alive, good thing it wasn't a fatal shot.

But darkness attracted darkness, and the foul creatures of the night had come to rescue their sister. Some sort of daemon stood in the window a screech coming from it's fanged mouth. Hikan knew he had to act quickly, chanting sacred words of binding, a blue ethereal fir shot from his palm, encircling the daemon's limbs, but his spell wouldn't hold it for long, he readied his weapon, pouring holy energy into his pistol...

"Time for Battle" The man said, as suddenly, a blue light came from the sky, revealing a young woman. "Yes Sir!" She said, while higher up, a flying ship, the Hero of Justice took images, wondering what kind of demonic energy was active. "Go in there, and take readings of what is wrong here. If you can't find anything, come back as soon as possible. The two saluted, as they checked their loadout.

"We have the standard pre-blessed seals, basic Mana charges, and permission to use up to Class S spells. I have my Twin Blades, Drive System unlocked at 50%, and the Flight Pack... I also have the com kit, and the Blessed Machine Warrior Guide, Master.." the blonde said, casually carrying the large package.

"You need more personality, honey, now let's set off into this Mana forsaken place, Agent R-Katos, Bioartifact K-Galaxy, Moving out!"

The two ran into the castle, armed with a lighter kit, as the darkness seemed to spread through space...

((You watch Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha StrikerS to much, I love fate too though))

Hikan shot the daemon point blank in the chest hoping the magically charged silver bullet would kill it. He looked out up at the sky seeing some strange flying machine, 2 figures were running into the tower, he hurried downstairs to meet them. They carried blades that glowed with unnatural light, he brought his weapon up, "By the order of the Light, you are to drop your weapons immediately"

"We are Trantor, and 'order of light'? This is a neutral world out in the boonies, we were called because mystical disturbances were enough to effect wave coms..." Katos begun, as Galaxy pointed her twin blades at them. "Tell me, have you heard of life on other planets, or did we just break this world's general tech level...", Katos said, as he asked, "So, you a hunter or part of this... Light Order..."

((this may seem a little counter productive, but just trying to stay in character, this thread has kind of... shifted))

"Boonies, hunters, trantor, life on other planets!? Honestly..." Began Hikan, "Who the Hell are you people? What the hell are you doing here? And where the hell are you from?!"

A vampire, a draconite, and a daemon, and now... these... Trantor people, something weird was going on here. And they said that a large amount of magical disturbance had, affected their, what were they? wave com things, but that didn't make sense

"Your... wave coms, are you sure they're working properly, magical energy disturbances larger than this occur on an almost weekly basis, something is fishy here" he paused, turning around before continuing, a mark of disrespect in his culture, "And yes, I am a, hunter, as you call me, of the 'Light Order' I hunt the night creatures of this 'planet'"

"We are Trantor Communication Agents, sent to make sure communication lines are open, so think of us like ..." He was shocked to see the man turn around, "That's rude man, but whatever, be that way," he started, "We are sort of like inspectors, but we deal with disturbances of the ... Arcane nature. This disturbance just affected the local Hypernet grid, so we need to..."

"Powerful Arcane signaures found, it appears to be ... crawling... out of some sort of zone, Master," Galaxy said plainly, as she seemed to glow for a second. "Switching to 20%, let's get ready to battle soon."

"Well you heard the lady, more of these 'Night Creatures' are around, shall we fight?"

Hikan suddenly whirled around alert, "Zone??? what does that term mean? But the arcane signatures, you're right, I thought I detected something earlier" He grabbed spare ammo, suddenly there was a great shrieking in the distance. "Crap, daemons! anymore here and the magical force here could destabilize reality" He turned to the others, "You have weapons, that can deal with these creatures?"

From upstairs there was a terrific blast, and the air before them filled with rubble and dust. Out of the dust strode a young girl, her hollow looking flesh had become healthy again, and the wispy white hair was now a dull blond, red blood stain her lips like gloss, and her mouth opened to reveal a hint of fangs, behind her was the limp form of Captian Ari, two small holes in the base of his neck, Aurelia smiled.

"K-Galaxy, Mode Release!" The construct said, as she seemed to point her hand at the vampire like being, "Weapon Form.. Dangioh Catcher!" Her hand seemed to glow with some sort of energy, forming a large bubble around the two. "Keep em steady while I get ready to seal em.

Katos laughed as he pulled out his weapon, Ivory, the white rifle, while on his back, Ebony, the Black Sword, charged with power, but he hoped he wouldn't have to use to use the sword. "You call yourself a hunter, and you aren't prepared to attack? I swear I am going to have to scream at this order," was his most callus remark,

"Galaxy, try to hold em, and if not, use your other parts to grapple em, then seal the powers and find the Gate, so we can finish this nonsense!"

((My earlier OOC statement is proven true ^_^ and lol, Devil may cry references))

"We need this vampire alive, I'll take care of her, you go seal the daemons." Hikan whispered some words of power before firing his pistol all 6 times in a 6 pointed star formation, blue light trailed the bullets, forming a net around the girl. She struggled trying to break free, he poured holy energy into the net, making her writhe in pain, "Where are they" He hissed, his voice dripping maliciously, "I know every one of your kind knows the location" Hikan sighed, this would be a long night

"Seal lock on... Powers of Great Commerce, Power of Trade," Katos begun, as the sealing energy empowered him, "LOCK IN!" While he said this, Galaxy pulled out the slips of paper with symbols on them, tossing them at the Demons. "Become Sealed, and normal, let the hosts be freed of your influence, and your power become null, in the name of Great Profit!"

"Galaxy Form..." she started, as her outfit shifted to a more tradtional mage costume. "Yeah!"

It seemed as if the humorless construct had changed to a more peppy fighter in an instant, as her long dress floated in the wind, her blouse a mix of whites and blues. "Ha! Demons all around me, and my form comes out! Spell Tags... Multiple Use Fly!" The spell tags flew, powered by small jets attached to the papers, seeking any more nearby demons.

"Ha, there's my girl, Katos said as he hoped the Vampire would be sealed.

(( OOC: I would really love for someone to play Aurelia))

"You won't get out of my bind that easily, even if you are newly fed, it's reinforced with silver this time"

The youthfulness drained from the girls face as she resisted the effects of the holy energy. "No, never! You'll kill me first!"
Lightning crackled from the net as Hikan continued his assault, "Do not underestimate me Aurelia, I have used the seventh art a hundred thousand times and know everyone's limits, you think I am some petty inexperienced interrogator?"

As the last of the color faded from the girl's face, he cut off his assault. Aurelia collapsed, hanging on to consciousness by a thread. He walked over her and drew a seal around her limb form. "Lets talk again soon Aurelia." with that he activated the seal, trapping the vampire within a crystalline pyramid.

He hurried over to join the others.

((OOC: I am so, so, so, so, so (etc.) sorry. Last time I checked this RP it was inactive, so I was going to check on it later ,but my computer crashed and well, yeah. Wow, that sounded lame. I'm a little confused so would someone tell me what happened?))

((I dropped in two agents to purge Demons because they are messing with the Great Com Grid, Demons hijack the Light Warrior's assistant, I'm wondering if I should post))

((Did I just turn into a vampire? I'm seriously confused still, about that.))

OOC: ((You might be, can my character finish sealing the vampire so I can cure you later?))

((Sorry Smud, I interpreted your character as a vampire, and as my character is kind of a self righteous "night creature" slayer I invented suitably evil names))

((Do you think we can incorperate that in. Like forget a little bit of the action and maybe act like your character thought she was but she wasn't?))
