It's Time...To Rise. (Fright Night Prologue)

As Ben and the other two vampires fought, he noticed he was being too ruthless...Usually he fought to disarm and discombobulate, but he was really trying to maim these things. What was wrong with him? Could this form have it's own mean-streak that he couldn't mentally over ride? In any case after ducking a swipe from one of the vamps he hit it with a hard uppercut, breaking it's jaw and as the second took the skies FangFace leaped onto it's back and ripped off it's wings causing the creature of the night to plummet towards the ground. After taking them out FangFace began thinking of his next course of action, he could go back and aid Zack or he could help the others. He needed to protect Raven, but Liev and Kunoichi was with her and then there was Jules...WAIT! Julie!! He had forgotten about her in all this madness. Where was she? If anything had happened to her he could never forgive himself. No sooner had this thought crossed Ben's mind did the vampire alien leap nearly twenty feet into the air and latch onto the side of the tower before scaling it. On his way up to the top hoped he would find Capricious or at least get a birds eye view of where she could be.

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

Meanwhile, inside the vampires had broken down the barricade and were now right on the heels of Honest, Raven, & Kitsune. Their snarls could be heard as they drew nearer and nearer.

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

Back outside the tower, the vampire whores were still dealing with Furi and Sanakan's drones, but Nosferatu was standing idly by while listening to Zack's rant. This human interested him greatly. He had already been killed in his previous life, then by definition he was either reborn or undead, by his manic speech pattern the Vampiric Lord guessed the latter. He could be a fine addition to their forces. Nosferatu was going to speak after Silent finished his monologue, but the human had immediately opened fire upon him. With reflexs that matched that of Spider-Girl he drew his wings forward and took the bullet shell casings with them like a shield. As the bullets penetrated it's wings they did not fully tear through, but sunk in deep enough to penetrate the skin. However, moments after making contact they would suddenly be pushed out of the membrane of Nosferatu's batwings and the wounds refilled themselves. This was the advantage to Trigon's magic mark. As the shell casing hit the ground Nosferatu opened his wing span and took the sky while speaking.

"Yes human I do hear it, the hunger, the voices that you speak of. They are of a natural nature for a predator, the urge to feed, the urge to hunt compels you as much as any of my children or the lioness. Stop this futile fight and join me, together I can help you embrace the voices that plague you so. Together we shall raise up against the humans that have cursed you and you may suck the marrow from their bones. Embrace me and my ranks, for among the humans you are just another soldier, but with me you will be a god over these meat-bags."

Since Silent Night had spoken of not caring about the human world, Nosferatu expected him to except his generous offer to become one of them. Zack would make a very powerful Vampire, once stripped of his last ties to humanity his metallic body frame would feel weightless to him, he would posses tremendous strength, a thirst for blood like no other, and the skill to command an entire fleet of fledglings. Yes, a fine addition to Nosferatu's undead army. He had even promised Zack that the organization known as L.A.W. would meet their demise as their waves of vampires swooped upon them like a black plague of death.

As Will created two of his Titan friends Ariel couldn't help but laugh.

"Teehee, you're still weak. You need your friends to aid you to the point that when they're not even around you conjure their likenesses. That's the difference between us, you are equal to the beings that should be serving you, while I control my ghouls with a mere flick of my wrist."

As Arial spoke she in fact flicked her wrist and knocked away Psychosis incoming white magic orb with a wave of dark magic. Her magic was enhanced by Hollowman and Trigon and as the two attacks collided a magical explosion occurred as the opposite forces collided.

"That is why you will die here at my hands, and I will prosper, than capture the--UGH!!"

After knocking away Will's attack, suddenly Ariel was smashed into the ground by replica Grace's giant hammer. Upon contact her shield dug into the ground below and dissipated, making it look like she had been flattened, but then moments later out of the ground rose a dark demonic figure or a combining of Ariel's ghouls that had many eyes and raised up the hammer and from under it followed a purple illuminated eyed Ariel.



"So were playing that game are we? Well don't worry, I can conjure things to. Like the combined essence's of my many deceased husbands...Yes, there were quite a few but not long standing, don't ask."

That being said, the 10'8 magical beast through aside the hammer and was going to charge Grace and Will, but was cut off when the replica of JaK suddenly jumped in front of it and spin kicked it in it's abdomen. Then followed that attack up with a brutal uppercut to the jaw, continuing as the mirror of Sage completed a one two punch combination to it's ribs and face as it staggered, and ended the hail marry of blows with a spinning elbow smash the side of it's temple. Thus knocking the dark figure over with each hit coming within the blink of an eye. This greatly annoyed Ariel as one of her eyebrows quivered and in response raised her hands while chanting a spell.

"Furlow' Mishan'tantae!"

As the words were spoken suddenly a mass of spikes would prop out of the ground and into the air towards the hero and his replicas. They reached high into the air like glass spiked pillars of dark magic. Sage's image in preparation leaped away and landed on one of them that had already formed and then lunged off of it as another sprang towards him. Even a fake JaK had good free running ability.

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

Back inside the tower, thankfully Grace and Shadow-Raven had come to JaK's aid, but soon afterwards it would seem Freeze had disappeared on them hopefully to go aid Scope. Meanwhile, JaK felt his shoulder there was now a hole in it and blood was seeping out. Great, he was heavily wounded and his armor obviously wasn't going to help him much. As he rose up while favoring his limb and dispelling his armored skin he saw more of the creatures coming towards him and as they did an idea came to his mind.

"Wait, Will said I could touch them now...That means...."

As one of the cackling ghouls came in for a swipe, Sage ducked it and then up-kicked that one away and afterwards immediately jived to the left as another tried to chop him in half with it's shifted sword arm. At which point upon missing he grabbed it's arm with his hand and absorbed it's ghostly properties upon himself. JaK was now white and kind of fluorescent...Oh the wonders of magic and what they could do for altered meta-human powers.

"Wow, this is kinda new."

That being said, JaK refilled the hole in his shoulder instantly with ghost plasma and then decked the the ghoul in it's face....well at least he thought it was it's face. As others came in Sage extended his arm acros the room like a rubber man and hit them all with a punch. The nightmaric like creatures couldn't even phase through his blow thanks to him now being composed of the same material as them. Now this, this he could get used to.

Vampires. I should have guessed, Honest thought. It’s Halloween, the Night of the Undead, the raising of the Supernatural. These are who we’re butchering? If they’re already technically dead, would that make this murder?

Not enough time for moral obligations and the diplomatic process of the death penalty, however; as Honest’s Chimera-masked thoughts had reeled like a justified horror film, one of the ghastly ghouls––an attacking antagonist––just sunk its teeth into the scaly, fleshy hyde of what gave backward eyes and a its own fierce bite: the snake.

Suddenly, Honest felt a stinging ripple of pain up through the spine of the goat and the neck of the lion that made up two-thirds of the creature Chimera. At once the bones in his legs jammed and ceased to continue motion, but those were only the back two goat ones. He still had his front to talons, but... what good were those now?

Honest whipped the lions head around as fast as the strike of what the viper could have done on its own, and immediately a jarring clash of fans, teeth, fur, and horns erupted behind Raven and Kuno as the Chimera and pack of vampires ran head on into each other as a fresh fountain of gore spurted crimson alert. More vampire bites, a struggling pair of elongated ram horns, and now an explosion of scathing fire left only a couple of vampires unharmed enough to continue their pursuit as three lay dead again on the floor and one distorted heap of animal parts that were all very, very pissed off as they let out another guttural roar and another rush of flames.

Honest, fearing his two comrades might stop in confusion to help or gather their senses from the scuffle, wanted nothing more that for those roars to translate into, “KEEP GOING! I’LL CATCH UP!”, but no such luck.

The eyes of the Chimera smoldered after Raven, Kunoichi, and the two vampires like jewels from the pit of Hell itself in both burning anger and exasperation. I only took down three of these, and I’m already this tired? Good God, I seriously need to drink more coffee...

Coffee? Probably not. Giving up? Never.

Somehow, from somewhere, and by some unknown power, Honest’s Chimera was soon tailing the live vamps and the two Titans despite the odds. If one could turn around and get a good look at the determined creature, they could see the clever use of the limp snake’s slithery body wrapped around the broken goat legs as if it was suffocating the things, but this was actually a way two bind two virtually useless legs and create a makeshift, singular one. A leap, a bound, a hop––whatever you want to call it, it was apparently working!

As she stood crouched with her aching ribs inside the tower now, from the shadows the vampires that had entered in from the top of the tower were steadily approaching. The hatch had been ripped off, hopefully Sanakan's drones would cover the breach soon enough, but until then vamps were finding their way inside. Capricious in fact had the two in front of her now, both drooling at the prospect of sampling her fresh blood. However, as they emerged from the shadows suddenly one of them was grabbed by the back of the neck and yanked into the darkness. From there thuds and sounds of ripping flesh could be heard as the other vamp disappeared to aid his ally. Sounds of hissing screams and of yelps continued to sound through the hallway until eventually one final vampire re-emerged rather bloody, but no sooner had it emerged the omnitrix symbol could be seen attached to it's forearm, letting Juliette know it was Ben 10.

"Jules, I heard your scream. I was so worried..."

That being said, Ben dropped to one knee in front of her. He needed to feed and was fighting the urge to do so to Cap, which was hard since he was in such close proximity to his source of nourishment. However, his love for the teen was a lot stronger than his need for fuel. Although, he battle with beings just like him had left him injured and weak. FangFace then reached out to Julie with blood dripping from his taloned palm.

"Like the new look? I call this one FangFace. Who would've known vampires were actually descendants of aliens right?"

As Ben spoke weakly to Capricious, suddenly form behind them two more vampire would approach. One climbing along the side wall, while the other was on the ceiling. FangFace then immediately got into an attack position, but still looked weak form the last fight. They were definitely in trouble here...
