RPG - Supernatural: Vampire vs Werewolf (Page 18 of 27)

Crispin had been driving around Murk Valley, searching for his wayward pack-mates. He drove a bright red 1959 Cadillac (http://www.59caddy.com/images/cadillac-desktop.jpg) that didn't have a single scratch on it. It was his pride and joy.

After a while, Crispin locked on to the scents of Loxley, Nikoli, and Daphne. He couldn't help but notice how all their names rhymed.

When he found the trio, they were talking to eachother on the street. Crispin pulled up beside them calmly.

"It's 2:30 A.M. Do you know where your pack leader is?" He said to them.

Paul slowly followed Fort down the winding staircase.  They were about to reach the bottom when a gust of air from the top of the stairs perked his nostrils.  He sniffed.  Vampire.  But it didn't reek as much as the others.  It was more likely than not a half-vamp.  Paul halted causing Griggs to nearly trip over him in the dim light despite the heightened night-vision. 

"We have some unexpected visitors up there."

Griggs stopped and sniffed.  "Oh yah.  I smell it.  Still getting used to the enhanced senses thing."

Fort stopped.  Well I'd rather no be trapped from both sides.  How many do you think are up there?"

Paul sniffed again.  "Hard to say from other the other dead scents mingling with this new guy's up there.  But I don't smell any new scents besides this one.  So he must be the only."

"Well we don't know how many vamps are down below so we might as well deal with the loner.  Lead on Griggs."

Griggs wheeled and led them back up the stairs sniffing experimentally.

As Paul was walking he felt the wind shift.  He cursed inwardly.  Even a half-vamp could smell them this close.  Brandishing the M203 attachment he saw the light at the top of the stairs.  He honestly did not feel like fighting this one.  This guy might be willing to help out their cause. 

"Hold it guys.  I'm going to try something."  He whispered to the others.  TUrning his attention to the main door he called out.  "Listen whoever is up there.  We outnumber you.  I can smell it.  ANd you can probably smell that there are more of us than you.  So on that note I was wondering if we could avoid confrontation."

"Fine.  I won't shoot I promise."

Fort perked up n this.  "I know that voice!  It's another slayer, oh what was his name...John!  Hey John, it's me Fort remember?"

"Fort the slayer?"

"The one and only."

Fort edged in front of Paul and Griggs and entered the light. They tentatively followed. 

Fort smiled.  "Hey John I have a proposition for you.  We seem to be having a demon problem and we are trying to see whether we can get D's coven to help us.  Seeing you half-vampire status do you have any connections?"

((Let me know if you don't like.))

Daphne chuckled she’d always liked Crispin’s sense of humour. “Good evening, Crispin.”

Crispin threw open the passenger door, “Jump in this area isn’t safe.”

Daphne climbed into the back behind Crispin, Loxley was quick to sit next to her while Nikoli sat in the front passenger seat. “What’s going on?” Daphne asked.

Crispin looked at her briefly in the rear view mirror, “Our slayer guests have been out eradicating our vampire problem, to some degree.”

Daphne swallowed, “Which coven?”

“Gabriel’s I believe,” Crispin told as he turned a corner.

Daphne let out a sigh. Gabriel’s coven was relatively new. They were an offshoot of D’s coven. They were a group who didn’t necessarily agree with the ancient vampire’s ways.

“I thought they would have been hunting this demon they seem so keen to kill,” Loxley snarled.

Crispin shrugged, “I think they want numbers on their side before they go off to kill themselves.”

Daphne wondered if she should tell Crispin her plan. She looked to Loxley who raised a brow in interest. His mind was clearly not in the same place as hers. It was not surprising since the Luna Eclipse was only six days away. Daphne wasn’t blind it seemed she had three males interested in her. She wondered when she’d become so popular.

“Crispin, I was talking with Nathaniel and we came to the realisation that each victim of the demon or demons has been on their own. So I seriously doubt that they’ll take the bait if Nathaniel and Griggs are together.” Daphne started.

Loxley cut in, “Separate them then, it’s no loss to us if they die.”

Nikoli glared at the younger wolf, “They have more experience in killing demons than us. They may be the key to our survival.”

Loxley snorted, “Yours maybe.”

“Cut it out,” Crispin snapped. “It’s better that they die rather than more members of our pack.”

Daphne didn’t like the idea of Nathaniel dying, but didn’t mention it. She could tell that Crispin was thinking the same thing. “That’s where I think D could come in handy,” Daphne put in. She looked at the rear vision mirror to see that she’s caught Crispin’s interest.

“Do tell,” Crispin said hoping the idea would result in his enemy’s death.

“There’s rumour that D can teleport,” Daphne began, “If we can utilise this power than we can use him to aid us in the attack against the demons.”

Crispin shrugged, “I don’t think he can teleport. I think it’s mere rumour to keep us on our toes.”

Daphne let out a sigh, “So much for that idea then.”

Loxley’s hand reached to touch Daphne’s forearm, “It was a good idea.”

“Perhaps there’s some sort of warlock or witch that could help us,” Nikoli said quietly.

Crispin looked at him for a moment, “Are there such people anymore?”

Nikoli shrugged, “We’re here aren’t we?”

Crispin smirked, “This is true indeed.”

Daphne looked at Loxley’s hand on her arm and found that her hormones were wild once again. But it was not Loxley’s touch she craved. She shifted so he would remove his hand from her. Instead it moved to her thigh.

Nikoli looked over and growled. Daphne picked up Loxley’s hand and placed it back in his own lap. She’d be glad when the Luna Eclipse was over.

Fort nodded at John comment.

"Alright, we'll worry about that later though. Right now, (Fort looks down the dark passageway through the freezer) we got a different matter to attend to." Fort said. John looks down the passageway.

"You're seriously taking on Gabriel's coven?" John asks with an eyebrow raised. Paul, Griggs and Fort look at each other.

"Yes." The trio say in unison. John looks at them and nods his head.

"Ok lets go." He says. Fort looks at Griggs and Paul for approval. They each give the "Why not?" look.

"Alright." Fort says and walks down through the freezer. Paul follows, then John, then Griggs.

The group walked down the spiral stone staircase for a few more minutes before John voices the question thats been on all of their minds.

"Why haven't they come up after us?"

"They're probably waiting for us." Fort says. The image of a vampire fortification flashes in his mind...fun. There was also the possibility that through all this rock they were travelling through the vamps below didn't hear anything.

Fort was prepared for anything however. He had gone through 4 vampire covens in his time as a slayer. He knew how they worked. It was like a labrynth where there were plenty of rooms and housing for the vampires living there. In this case it was an underground coven. Not very different from the manors or castle covens, just less decorated. The team reached the landing.

Fort peered around the doorway to the labrynth and saw a large room. There were two exits on the opposite wall, one all the way to the left and the other to the right. In between them was a horizontal slit. Poking through the slit was the barrel of a .50 caliber machine gun aimed right at Fort. Fort's eyes widened as he saw some vampires eyes see him and notice there was someone there. It took him a moment to smell the half were.

"BACK!" Fort yelled and the team retreated up the passage just as giant bullet holes began appearing on the wall. The machine gun fire continued to blast through the passageway and Fort watched it destroy the spot he was just standing on. He looked back at Paul.

Paul was already checking the grenade round in the M203 and moving past Fort. They waited for a few seconds after the machine gun fire stopped. Paul eased into a crouch position and rolled out of the doorway. He leveled his gun and fired the grenade at the slit just as .50 caliber rounds wizzed by him. The explosion destroyed the wall as well as the poor sap firing the .50 caliber. A hole was made into the chamber where he once was.

The team quickly moved into the bare, grey room and checked through the small chamber that the machine gun was in. It was blown to pieces. Fallen rock blocked the doorway that led out of the chamber. The team doubled back and exited through the right door of the first room.

Both doors led to a large lobby like area that doubled as a mess hall for the vamps. The tables were already turned over and bullets were flying. The team ran into the room and quickly dispatched the 3 vampires behind the first thick wooden table. They took cover behind that one.

The and Griggs took opposite sides of the table and began spraying the messhall with minigun fire. John and Paul fired over the table at any straglers that tried to escape through the double doors at the other side of the room. There were 5 other tables, each with about 4 vamps firing their own guns at the team. The miniguns splintered their tables however and they didnt last long. Blood, corpses and vampire body parts soon littered the floor. The team trodded through the gore and opened the double doors.

Immeadiatly Fort tossed a grenade into the hallway and heard the screams of several vampires. 3 more that hadn't been killed ran through the hallway but Paul killed two with his sai and John killed the last with his knife. Fort and Griggs took the lead and ran into the hallway.

It used to be reasonably lit, but the grenade destroyed the overhead lamps. The hallways were grey and bare and there were doors every now and then that vamps started coming out of and charging them or shooting at them. Fort usually took care of them with the minigun but there was no cover to be had.

Griggs left the minigun strapped to his shoulder and ripped two wooden doors off their hinges. He took the lead and used the doors as shields against the gun fire. Any vamps that got through the defense were cut to pieces by John and Paul. Fort fired the minigun at any other vamps that shot at them from the doorways of their rooms.

This strategy continued as the team turned corners and followed the hallways through the labrynth-like underground coven. Griggs had to replace the shield doors every now and then and Fort was conserving ammo. Any grenades that were thrown by the vamps were picked up and thrown back. Eventually the team reached the end of the housing section and walked into a large audience chamber. There was no vamps there however since they all attacked the team during the journey through the housing section.

The team eased a little at the sight of a room somewhat devoid of blood all over the place. The audience chamber was simple enough. Overhead lighting, a small stage for anouncements they guessed, and more double doors at the next to the stage. Everything was still plain, grey stonework. There were only a few wooden benches. Most of the vampires would stand during the events.

The team moved to the double doors. They were huge mahogany doors with some gold inlaid and gold door handles. The guards probably were killed off already. Fort nodded at Griggs and the two opened the doors.

The room was a rather exquisite master bedroom. It was nothing like the rest of the coven. Silk and gold and beautiful things everywhere. This was most likely Gabriel's room. What made that obvious was the fact that Gabriel, a beast of a man, stood in front of his bed brandishing a rocket launcher in his right hand and an AK47 in his left.

"YOU'LL NEVER TAKE ME ALIVE MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!" He yelled. Fort, Griggs, Paul and John darted out of the way of a flying rocket that blasted through the door and destroyed the entrance into the audience room. Their exit was sealed.

((More to come))

"I am going to enjoy killing you." Loxley said.

Nikoli drew the two-handed sword from it's sheath. He grinned, then charged, swinging the old sword at Loxley's chest. Loxley stepped back, and pulled a shotgun from behind him and fired. His aim was off, and a few pellets found their way into Nikoli's shoulder. He dropped the sword, grabbed the shotgun, and slamed  it into Loxley's face. He pushed him into a nearby brick wall. Loxley drew a large knife from his side and stabbed Nikoli in the chest with it. Nikoli was lucky, the knife missed his lungs and heart, but it still hurt like hell. He ripped it out, and cast it aside. Nikoli turned Loxley and kicked him in the knee, causing it to bend back. Loxley grunted in pain but still tried to fight. Nikoli tripped him, and slammed his head against the sidewalk. As Loxley tried to get up, Nikoli retrived his sword, and placed it against Loxley's neck. He looked up to Crispin and no one else, as Daphne was gone. It wasnt important, but he was slightly annoyed, he wanted her to see him beat Loxley. Crispin looked at him, and shook his head. Nikoli  sheathed the claymore,  and lifted Loxley. He held him up and looked at him "Omega." he snarled, then slamed him to the ground.

Nikoli stood. He was annoyed that Loxly had ran and the fact that Daphne had left didnt help. She was probably out to find the others, and Nikoli decided to go after her. There would be something to kill there. "Where are you going?" Crispin asked calmly. "I need something to kill." Nikoli said, walking away.

He soon found the club, and stepped inside. Some one had some fun in here. He found the path down and walked into the gloom.

John ducked behind a falen peice of stone. "I have a plan!" He yelled to Fort. "What?" Fort asked. "Lets not try to take this guy alive."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Nikoli looked around. Crispin must have gone for a drive. "Looks like we get to walk." He said. They began to head back to the conclave. Nikoli tried to ignore the fact that she didnt seem to trust him. He checked the safety  of the pistol, put it in his pocket and changed into a wolf. He began to run, they would get there faster this way. When they got close, he changed back, and opened the door to the conclave for Daphne.

"Sure" A moment later, they were sitting in the mess hall. Nikoli had another sandwhich. "What was the pack like before I got here?" Nikoli asked. He wasnt able to think of anything else that would be easy to talk about. "Pretty much the same as any other pack, I guess." Daphne said.

"I wouldent know." Nikoli said, taking another bite from the sandwhich.

"You haven't been part of a pack before?"

"No."

"I thought you would have been, most of the members that haven't been turned here are pretty much survivors of hunts."

"I've been lucky, I havent been noticed much."

Daphne finished her meal. "Listen, I'm tired. I'm gona go." She stood up and left. Nikoli watched her leave then wolfed down the rest of his sandwhich.

(bwahahahahahaha )

Nikoli had decieded to stay outside Daphne's room He thought that Loxley would stop by here, but even if he didnt, Nikoli felt good being close to Daphne, even if he couldent see her. He paced back and forth, thinking to himself. He wanted to be in there with her, but he coulden't, not now. He continued to think. He bumped a small table, knocking a metal bowl off. He swore quietly, and quickly put the bowl back. He decided to sit on a nearby bench.

"Great idea!" Fort yelled back to John. John and Paul were behind some fallen stone and Fort and Griggs were taking shelter behind one of the wooden benches. They looked at each other with comical grim faces.

"An AK47..." Griggs said laughing.

"Classic." Fort replied.

Gabriel's massive muscular form came running out of his room and he saw Paul and John peeking over the stone work.

"DONT HIDE NOW!!!!" He yelled in fury and began to pepper the stone with his AK47 and extended clip. Fort and Griggs took the opportunity to open fire with the miniguns. Gabriel, however, was wearing full body armor. He was smarter than he seemed. The miniguns made him stumble, but he regained posture and spun around to see Fort and Griggs. He laughed like a lunatic and leveled his rocket launcher.

"Oh FU-"Fort and Griggs said in unison and a rocket flew to their position. The leapt backward just as the rocket fell short and hit a few feet in front of the bench. Wooden shrapnel was sent flying. Griggs and Fort flew through the air from the resulting explosion and landed near the stage.

John kept providing covering fire for Paul has he loaded another grenade round and Gabriel turned to face them again. Paul finished reloading and lifted the gun over the fallen stone to fire at Gabriel. However, Gabriel jsut happened to be standing directly on the other side. He swung the massive rocket launcher and it hit Paul in the side of his chest and he was thrown against a wall. His gun was sent flying in the other direction. John looked at the crumpled body of Paul and then back at the smiling Gabriel. John smiled weakly and sprung towards another fallen stone for cover.

Gabriel began firing at John and hit his thigh just as John leapt behind a large stone. John winced. He looked at the wound, clean entrance and exit. It would heal fine, he could still walk as well. His weapons however were not enough to damage Gabriel.

Griggs dropped Ol'Painless and sprinted at Gabriel, who was closing in on John. He turned to see Griggs leap into the air and land on his arm carrying the rocket launcher. Griggs clung to him and released his fangs. He bit deep into Gabriels shoulder, causing him to drop the rocket launcher. Gabriel now reached up with his free hand and grabbed Griggs by the neck. He flung him across the room and aimed the AK47 at him. Griggs didnt have time to react.

Gabriel was just squeezing the trigger when Paul yelled from behind him.

"SAY HELLO TO MY LITTLE FRIEND!"

FOOM

KERPLOOOM

-

Gabriel's eye lids slowly fickered open. He tried to stand, but couldn't feel his legs. He looked at them....they were gone. He could hear the long haired half were say something...Scarface was it? Why would he say Scarface? He felt around next to him and felt his AK47...thank the gods. His hand closed over the handle and he raised it feebily. The half vampire came into view and raised his gun. Damnit...it hurt. His hand was blown to pieces. The one who bit him walked up next to the half vamp, and the werewolf came up next to his crippled body.

The long haired halfwere came up directly in front of him. Gabriel's vision blurred. The halfwere raised a giant, ornate, two handed sword to his neck.

"Keep the change you filthy animal." He said and stabbed the blade through Gabriel's neck.

-

The team searched through Gabriel's room. John now stood with the AK47 on his shoulder as Fort and Griggs checked through drawers and desks. Paul was admiring his handy work...

Fort found massive amounts of cash, which he would use to fund the Doc. Griggs found something else.

"Here we go. Got it." Griggs pushed a small image of Gabriel's vampire symbol that was behind a painting on the wall. The wall next to him creaked and shook. The team stood in front of it as it moved backwards and slide aside, revealing an elivator.

"Going up?" John said as he walked into the elivator and pushed the up arrow. The rest of the team followed and the elivator left them in an abandoned builind down the street from the club, which was not swarming with police. They stealthily made their way to Paul's car and stuffed themselves inside and put the miniguns in the trunk. John closed the door for Fort.

"I'll be seeing you around I guess?" John asked Fort.

"Yeah, I have your number so I'll call you when its time to take on the Balor Lord." (Fort told John about the plan on the way to the car)

"Alright then, Happy Luna Eclipse!" John said and walked away. They all laughedand Paul drove to the conclave.

Paul parked and they got out and entered the conclave. Paul said goodbye and headed toward the mess hall saying something about a sandwhich he had to square with. Girggs went in search of Karen and Fort found himself wandering back to his room to rid himself of a few large wooden splinters sticking out of his arm. He was jsut about to open his door and looked at Daphne's. He was feeling especially animal like now. The hunt with his werewolf brethren felt good, very good. He would like to do it again sometime. He was beginning to...enjoy the company of werewolves. Daphne was no exception. He found himself already knocking on her door with large wooden splinters sticking of his arm, vampire blood on his clothes and skin, a large minigun and a blood stained sword. Quite the sight to behold.
