A man stood in front of a small congregation of people. The group was in a large room, with absolutely no natural light. Instead the room was lit by a variety of electrical lamps set around the room. The stone walls were stained a variety of colors. It was obvious someone had redone this room, with the obviously aged architecture and the nearly new lamps and other various wires around. The man cleared his through and approached a podium addressing the small group. "In the history of our world their have been many myths. One of the more famous of those myths is that of vampires and werewolves. Long ago, a plague tormented a small village, many were unaffected, anyone that was died gruesome deaths, all except one man. His body found a way to manipulate the virus and make it work to make him stronger. He was the father of the vampires and lycans...he is our father. This virus stayed the same for many years turning those that could handle it into the likeness of its donor. Eventually, through marriage many more people and their own genetic makeup allowed this virus to do more and varied things. Initially, it gave great power but with equal weaknesses, the vampire had incredible speed and endurance and the ability to live forever, but it could never be in sunlight, it needed other blood, and it was allergic to garlic. As the virus improved itself it eliminated some of these weaknesses such as sunlight no longer killed them only weakened them. and the garlic allergy was removed entirely. Now it has Evolved so much it gives us the ability to control metal, simply with out minds, or change our physical appearance, or create fire or ice or even teleport. You are just a few weeks from completing your training to become Blades in this, the Chaos Sword. As you know, your jobs will be to rescue the humans the Order has prisoner. I felt you must know your heratage before going into the field. We've been given much information and we've run ourselves dry on personnel. Though it may be early we and the other Masters have chosen you out of all the disciples to go on this extra mission. It should be fairly simple but if we do not act immediately it may be to late. The target is but a few miles from the Sanctuary tunnel's exit. The building is shown here on the screen. Here are the schematics of the building, from out information there are but four guards. Two guarding the front entrance here, and two guarding the chamber he is being held in on the second floor here. We do not know what powers the guards have, but for such a small operation they should not be too much trouble. You will be leaving at o' eight hundred hours which is two and a half hours from now. Until then, introduce yourselves to each other, many of you are in different classes and have not had a chance to meet each other." The man descended the steps of the small platform leaving the room in an awkward silence.
Lidnus broke that silence when he saw his best friend, Dissonance, and went over and gave him a hard punch on the shoulder. "Glad to see you'll be joining me for this, I'd get bored otherwise." Lidnus laughed through the silence. "Oh Hi everyone I'm Lidnus I don't think I know any of you."

He gave a big smile and took the punch, playfully jabbing him in the stomach back before hugging him. "Are you kidding?! I wouldn't miss this party for the world." he was excited that he finally got to go on his first mission, let alone with his best friend. He had heard so many sotries from Blades and Bringers of the Missions that they've gone on and had awaited this day for a long time. He could have graduated a long time ago but he didn't want to become a Blade until Lindus graduated, that and his parents never seemed to think he was worthy. Having his father be the lead Initiate instructor was more of a burden than the blessing everyone seemed to think it was. "I just wish popps didn't have to give the briefing, awkward ya know?"

"Well I imagine sending his only son off into battle wouldn't be too easy for him. But you see now that someone better then you, *cough* me *cough*, has graduated it must be easier for him to let you go. So do you know any of these guys? I don't think I've seen any of them around." He looked around the group trying to detect any familiar faces.

Ghaste stepped over towards the others, who were talking, and waiting for a break in their conversation.

He shook his head, "Nah I don't really recognize any of them. I spend so much time with the Blades that I don't even know my own class mates. A little sad I guess but oh well, no time for learning who you'll be fighting with like the present." noticing the new figure standing next to them Dissonance held out his hand to shake with the man. He wore a sincere smile, "Hey, name's Dissonance. Nice to meet ya'. This here's Lindus."

"Greeting," Ghaste replied, and shook his hand, "I am Ghaste. It's a pleasure."

"Hey my names...yeah what he said..." Lidnus stuck out his hand so the newcomer could shake it. He gave him an almost over enthusiastic smile. "What's your name and what can you do?"

"Like I said," Ghaste replied, shaking the other's hand, "The name's Ghaste. I can leave my body and take over others' bodies. What about you?"

"That's cool, I wish I had something like that all I can do is cover small things in fire." He took out his metal battle staff. "Like this," It was covered in flames from tip to tip. "I think I'm jealous again," he said to Dissonance, "Everyone's got a cooler ability then me. Mine just looks cool." He extinguished the flames and folded his staff up and returned it to his belt.

Nudging him slightly, "Hey man, don't forget you're also immune to fire. Besides, only thing worse than being clubbed viciously is being clubbed viciously AND burned. So glad you're on our side. As for myself, my name isn't just for show. I can create destructive sonic waves. I'm still learning to tune them to different substances so I can't destroy certain things, yet. So far I can shatter, skin, bones, wood, and a select few metals. And concrete."

"Nice," Ghaste replied to Dissonance, and looked at Lidnus, "Can you start people on fire?"

"Well my power only works on things I touch and it puts fire around it, so if their wearing something flammable I guess. Maybe their arm, but I think a person is too big for me to handle right now, I'd have to work on my power for a while yet before I could do a whole person."

"Starting things on fire is not something to be underestimated," Ghaste said, "Even my power has its weaknesses. I have to leave my body."

"Hmmm," he pondered Ghaste's ability for a moment in his head, "So when you take over people's bodies what happens to yours exactly?" it was a powerful and useful ability, there had to be some kind of draw back. And if there was they'd all best know off the bat.

"It goes limp, and I've usually got to hide it, or have someone protect it," Ghaste showed a small frown, "I've had a number of close calls."

"I guess your right, I mean, I'm not complaining, I like my power, I just see lots of people with cooler one. like Dissonance's here, if he touches most things they shatter, I think its cooler then setting it on fire. but I can't complain too much its better then not having any power, not that I'm dissing the non-mutants...I think I'll just quit while I'm ahead. But you know what I mean." He said with a smile.

"I can imagine," he said in response to Ghaste, "Don't worry, in a tight knit team you'll always have someone covering your back." then turning to Lindus with an amused look on his face, "Yea because shattering stuff on accident rocks. Do you know how embarrasing it is when you go to ask your first crush out and you end up turning her shirt to ribbons because you're so nervous?!" he didn't say it loud so much as he said it with stress and shame. He wasn't exactly ashamed, just a ridiculously embarassing memory.

"Yeah well how about accidentally nearly burning down your entire home, just a little more dangerous, embarrassing, and expensive. How about you how did you have any accidents with your abilities?"

"Well, nobody noticed," Ghaste explained, "But I went to school in my ethereal form, and was marked absent for two days in a row. I was able to recite everything that went on in class, but the teachers all swore they never saw me there!"

Dissonance couldn't help but laugh, "Nice, I'll bet after that you've used that ethereal form of yours for some fun right?" he said with a perverted wink, somewhat joking but Ghaste could tell that no matter what he said, as far as Dissonance was concerned he did.

"Who wouldn't?" Ghaste asked simply.

"Gah even his accidents are cool. You seem like a pretty cool guy in general. Hey maybe you know some of these people, are any of them in any of your classes. Introduce us to anyone you know, I want to meet the other people of this group."

Dissonance laughed heartily, "I already like this guy. He'll fit in perfectly. But like Lindus said, you have any of these other people in your classes? I really should get to know my own class." he said shaking his head, feeling a little guilty for not getting to know his peers at all.

"No, I don't really know any of them, to tell you the truth," Ghaste replied, "Sorry."
