Ghaste nodded, sat down, leaning against a tree, and left his body there. He glided along with the wind, and then saw the guards.
There were 2 of them standing outside the doors. Ghaste rushed to take over one of them, but felt an odd feeling. Suddenly, he was inside a body! It seemed that the body he took over had the power of invisibility.
Good, he thought to himself, feeling for weapons on his newly acquired person, A knife, excellent.
He calmed walked to the other guards, slitting the first guards throat without a second thought, then pushing him into the other guard.
Ghaste first victim floundered a bit, grasping his neck as he collided with the uninjured guard, who looked about in confusion, "Jack! What're you doing!?"
Before the guard could react, Ghaste lodged the knife into his throat, and then kicked his knee with full force, breaking it and dropping the guard to the ground. He removed the knife, and finished them both off, then proceeded to walk back towards Dissonance, leaving only the dead bodies as a sign that he'd been there at all.
"I'm back," Ghaste spoke to Dissonance as he approached, "It's Ghaste. I took care of the guards outside, and I think this body will prove useful."

Lidnus continued to torch the roof, slowly but surely making progress through the thick barrier. After several minutes the chunk fell loose with a large crash to the floor below. Lidnus jumped through the newly made entrance, avoiding the molten edges. He landed slightly hard, facing the doorway, which was wide open. Confused, he surveyed his surroundings. There was no light in the room, aside from the ambiant glow coming from the hallway and the small dim light from the singular window that was cast by the partial moon outside. Every light in the room have been broken, shards of glass littered the floor below were the lights had been. The room echoed with the sound of his footsteps against the barren metal floor. He continued towards the only object he could see in the room, a small chair. As he approached the chair, he could make out a small muffled whimpering and a wide figure sitting in the chair. He went around the figure and knelt down to face him. Gabbing a small shard of glass he covered it in fire to use as a light source. The light illuminated the mans face, he eyes were wide and filled with pain and terror. his arms were tired to the chair which was bolted to the ground. His mouth was gagged and through it he tried to communicate some message to Lidnus. He started to remove the gag from the man's mouth but in the proccess his hand found something warm and wet. Bringing his hand to his makeshift touch he saw the sourse of the sensation. His hand was covered in blood, investigating its sourse he found that the man's neck was wounded by two small punctures in his jugular vein. From behind, Lidnus heard a click and could feel a cold cylinder being pressed to the back of his head. The he heard a voice, "I don't appreciate it when my dinner is disturbed."

Jing had barely made it into a long, dark hallway when she heard thunderous crashes ahead. The building groaned for a bit, but then the noises ceased. She crept onward, using all her power to hide in the shadows.
Footsteps sounded ahead, then a scape. She froze for a moment, not breathing. Nothing. She waited a moment longer, then edged into the next room. A man knelt in front of a chair, a chair in which her cousin was tied, holding a small flame in his hand. A dark figure stood behind him, holding something shiny and metallic to his head. A gun.
"I don't appreciate it when my dinner is disturbed."
Stealthily, she drew out a range of her slender throwing daggers. She did not recognize the man who knelt in front of Armonde, but he was obviously someone to help. She sent her daggers flying into the darkness behind him.

"Another who tires to keep me from dining, why must you be so difficult." Elegantly dodging the knives, within a second he was in front of her. He grabbed her lower jaw from beneath and raised her off the ground. "Why do you have pity on such useless beings," He threw her against the wall and proceeded to punch her in the stomach. He then kicked her knee causing it to buckle, grabbing her head he slammed it against the ground then kicked her in the stomach. Lifting her by the waist he moved over to the single window, and after removing the two bars that reinforced it with one of his free hands, he sent her flying through the glass to the ground below. The turned in time to see Lidnus advancing, pulling his weapon with silencer equipped he shot him in the knee. Lidnus fell hard and landed flat on his face. His weapon skidded across the floor and the other man stopped it with his foot. Picking it up he tossed it out the window after the girl. "Now you I'm going to have some fun with." He said as he reloaded his gun. When he had finished he grabbed Lidnus from the back of the neck and lifted him to a standing position. Lidnus addressed the man, "Who are you...What the hell you want?!" The man snickered in the darkness. "So you with to know the name of your reaper. And what makes you think you deserve that honor? What difference will it make when you are dead." He turned to his victim still tied to the chair. "Esspecially since your making my diner rot," He bent down and made a fresh wound on the man's neck. Lidnus tried to reach the man to stop him but Lidnus had hobbled no more then a foot before the man ceased moving. Lidnus took this time to prepare one of his other weapons, at least he would take this thing out if he couldn't complete his mission. The man turned drawing his sword and lunged forward his weapon meeting Lidnus's chest, "My name is Vlandrik, Doomslayer...Purifier and last living vampire of the Cleansing Blade, I hearby cleanse this house and this boy."

Dissonance jumped when the girl landed on the ground not far from his position. He was about to run over to her to see if she was alright when he heard the gun shots and a sinister sounding voice come from the second floor. He began to sweat and bolted to building, "Angel, Ghaste, take care of that girl. Lidnus is in trouble." He stopped not far from the wall and and threw out his arms. Drawing them in slowly, charging sonic energy surrounding his body in it. Then he released downward and propelled himself to the top the the building and down through the hole Lidnus had cut. He landed with a loud thud on one knee. As the dust from the floor settled around him his figure became visible in the subtle limelight. He rose to his full height and took in the scene around him; he could see perfectly in the dark because of his sound detection. The sight of a sword through his best friends chest shot straight through to his heart. His facial expression turned to one of desperation. "NO! LIDNUS!"

Vlandrik withdrew his sword from Lidnus, the vampire turned his back on his victim as his lifeless body fell to the floor. Turning his head and looking over his shoulder he addressed the newcomer. "I've never seen so many defective mutants trying to save a worthless genetic degenerate. Do you want to be purified like your friend here. I've finished cleansing this place, killing you would only be for sport, but if that's what you want." Vlandrik holstered his guns turned to face Dissonance and prepared his sword. "Leave now or die."

Dissonance clenched his fists in rage and began to generate sonic waves around them. The vibrations that make living people visible to his sonic vision slowly faded from Lidnus' corpse, signifying his death. "I'll make you pay for what you've done here. You SON OF A BITCH!" as he shouted he lunged toward the only moving sound signature in the room. The sound energy around his fists making a visible distortion.

Vlandrik smoothly stepped sideways microseconds before Dissonance's fist would have impacted with his sternum. Removing his hand from his sword he brought his elbow down straight into Dissonance's neck. The waves around the aggressor's hands ripping the defender's black leather cape. "One last chance, leave now or the next time it will be my blade striking your neck." He turned scowling at the downed man.

Angel had run over and knelt down by the girl. She was unconscious, so Angel quickly felt for a pulse. It was there, but weak.
"She's alive, but hurt. She's definitely broken a few bones," Angel muttered, when the distant sound of Dissonance yelling reached them.
"What do you think --?" Angel started, before realising she couldn't see Ghaste anywhere. (He's still in the invisible body, right?)
"Ghaste?" Angel whirled around, "Ghaste are you here?" She noticed his body, unconscious, propped against a tree. She remembered that he could take over another's body, but that it left his own vulnerable.
"Ghaste?" she called again, "If you're here ... what do you think we should do?"

"I'm here," Ghaste replied, "I'm in an invisible body. We should probably hide my body if we're going to go anywhere, but what about the girl?"

Toxin reached the base of the building as Dissonance disappeared over the roof. Letting his body produce the gas, he sprinted up the stairs, taking the steps 3 at a time, appearing as nothing but a foaming black mass as he raced along the halls. "Man, why do they always leave me to do stuff on my own?" he whispered to himself. As he entered the second floor, he crashed into a guard, instantly paralyzing the man as the gas found skin to touch. Getting up, Toxin threw a handful of his grenades down the hall to make sure it was clear, and heard a yelp as another guard was taken by the gas.

Angel hesitated and looked down at her.
"I don't know," she admitted, "We could hide her with your body ... but she does need help. Maybe I could fly her back to the base and then come back?"

Dissonance rolled with the throw, it wasn't too unexpected he did lunge relatively obviously. This mutant was vastly too overconfident. Holding still Dissonance charged a large blast around his hands and hurled down at the man's feet. The blast erupted loudly and demolished the ground beneath him. As he flew backward Dissonance stood back up and bolted after him, slamming a sonic covered fist into the vampire's stomach. "Weapons, how pitiful." he smirked, he would take great pleasure in killing this man with nothing more than his fists.

The speed and power of the blast caught him off guard. He dropped his sword as he flew backwards slamming into the open door, closing it with a loud thud and click. Standing up quickly to prepare for the next attack already coming his way. Knowing he would have no time to effectively dodge this one. He threw his own punch to lessen the blow to himself and hopefully stop if not reflect the advancing man.

"How quickly could you make it there and back?" Ghaste replied, "I'll go in there and try to help if I can."

"If I flew straight and at full speed, maybe about ten minutes?" Angel estimated, judging from the time it had taken to walk, "Is it worth it?"

"I doubt if there are many enemies left in there, based on what we were told," Ghaste replied, "Let's just leave the girl for now, and hide her along with my body, then we can go in and check it out quick. Lidnus and Dissonance should've been able to get the job done by now."

Dissonance kept advancing, using his momentum to his advantage he had planned on grappling the vampire and surging his body with sonic energy, breaking all his bones. He didn't plan on the vampire recovering the way his did and plunged directly into his fist. Stopping him where he stood inches away.

"Okay," agreed Angel. She quickly hid the girl, and Ghaste's body, and once satisfied they were undetectable she turned back to ... well, nothing. It was strange talking to an invisible person.
"Where are you?" she asked, "I could fly us in."

Vlandrik had greatly underestimated his foe, though he would never admit it. The sun would be rising in a few hours and he still had to trek back to his base to save himself from the sun, and though it wouldn't kill him, it was quite painful and made him very irritable. He ran towards his sword scooping it up and sheathing it without slowing. Propping himself halfway out the window he stated plainly to Dissonance, "I have no time for such games, I am here to purify this place from the lacking," He looked at the man lying dead in the chair, "and that has been done, I need not kill any more of those endowed." With a scornful glare at Dissonance he lept from the window, sprinting in the direction of the city. At this rate he would have to make haste the entire way to avoid the sun.

Jingizu groaned slightly as she realized that she was lying outside on some grass. Probably where that weird guy had tossed her. She started to move, then stopped as her ribs seemed to crunch. "Oooh."
She carefully eased her way upright. "Broken ribs. Not again." She sighed and looked around. There was a...dead man?...right next to her. No...he was alive. Ok... A sound caught her attention and she stared as the man who'd attacked her jumped out of the window and ran off.
"Oh, boy. Wonder if Armande is still alive...or anyone." She edged back against the tree, waiting.

Angel jumped as she felt a hand touch her shoulder. She placed her own hand over it, and turned to where Ghaste would be, if she could see him.
"Okay. Hold on, then."

Still enraged he glared back at the dark figure. Just as he realized Vlandrik's intentions of fleeing he shouted angrily, "Come back here you coward and fight!" But it was too late, the man had disappeared into the fading night. Dissonance was breathed heavily trying to calm himself down. After a short moment he decided to leave, there was nothing else he could do here. He couldn't see Lidnus' body any longer so he walked to where it last was and knelt down. Felling around on the ground to find the corpse of his fallen friend, his hand fell into a puddle of warm liquid. Tears began to carry down his cheeks as his hands followed the puddle up to a still warm Lidnus. "I'm sorry. Oh God I'm so sorry. If only I had come a bit sooner," he choked through his tears.
