Mission fourty: under the red moon ,part 2

 

"Uh... Sir Kliev, can you run faster? Ghelle asked as she asked that Kliev notice the light of the UV bomb behind them.Fuck! You can enforce your legs, damn it!" He shouted.

 

Kliev grunted, his determination unwavering despite the weight of Ghellie on his shoulder. "I'm doing my best! Just hold on tight!" He pushed himself harder, his legs pumping as they navigated the narrow passageway.

 

Ethan could feel the heat from the explosions behind them, the air growing warmer as the UV grenades detonated, sending shockwaves through the lair. "We need to find an exit soon!" he shouted, his voice echoing off the damp walls. "Keep your eyes peeled for any openings!"

 

Clark, ever vigilant, scanned the walls as they ran. "There! Up ahead!" he pointed to a faint light filtering through a crack in the stone. "That might be our way out! Guys, follow me!"

 

Ethan felt a surge of hope as he spotted the light. "Let's go!" he urged, pushing himself and the others to sprint toward the opening. The sound of Cedric's furious pursuit grew louder behind them, a chilling reminder that time was running out.

 

As they approached the crack in the stone, Ethan could see it was just wide enough for them to squeeze through. "Kliev, you first! Get Ghellie out!" he shouted, urgency lacing his voice.

 

Kliev nodded, determination etched on his face. He carefully maneuvered Ghellie off his shoulder and set her down gently. "Go! I'll follow right after!" he urged, giving her a gentle push toward the light.

 

Ghellie hesitated for a moment, glancing back at the darkness behind them. "What about you?" She asked, fear creeping into her voice.

 

"Just go!" Kliev insisted, his eyes fierce. "We'll catch up!"

 

With a nod, Ghellie darted through the crack, disappearing into the light. Kliev followed closely behind, squeezing through the narrow opening with a grunt.

 

"Rebecca, Clark, you're next!" Ethan shouted, glancing back to see how close Cedric was. The knight's furious growl echoed through the passage, sending a chill down Ethan's spine.

 

"On it!" Rebecca replied, pushing Clark ahead of her. They both scrambled through the crack, and Ethan felt a rush of relief as they made it to safety.

 

"Now it's my turn!" Ethan said, turning to face the darkness one last time. He could see the flicker of flames and hear the sound of Cedric's heavy footsteps approaching. "Come on, come on!" he urged himself, squeezing through the crack just as he heard Cedric's voice booming behind him.

 

"You can't escape! I will find you!" Cedric roared, his voice echoing through the passage.

 

Ethan barely made it through the crack when he felt a rush of air behind him. He turned just in time to see a massive shadow looming over the opening, the knight's furious expression visible even in the dim light. "You think you can hide from me?" Cedric bellowed, his voice filled with rage.

 

Ethan stumbled back, heart racing as he realized they were not out of danger yet. "We need to move!" he shouted, urging the others to get further away from the entrance.

 

They found themselves in a small clearing, surrounded by dense trees and the sounds of the night. The moonlight filtered through the leaves, casting eerie shadows on the ground. Ghellie was crouched nearby, her eyes wide with fear as she looked back toward the passage.

 

"Is he coming?" She asked, her voice trembling.

 

"Not if we can help it," Kliev replied, scanning the area for any signs of danger. "We need to put some distance between us and that lair."

 

Rebecca nodded, her expression serious. "We can't stop now. We have to regroup and figure out our next move."

 

Ethan took a deep breath, trying to steady his racing heart. "We need to find a safe place to hide and plan our next steps. Lancer won't give up easily, and neither will Cedric."

 

As they moved deeper into the woods, the sounds of battle faded behind them, replaced by the rustling of leaves and the distant calls of nocturnal creatures. Ethan felt a mix of relief and anxiety; they had escaped, but the fight was far from over.

 

"Do you think the others made it out?" Clark asked, glancing back toward the direction they had come from.

 

"Yeah, they have too. Besides, our mission is to get Deyviel's Girl out here safe," Kliev said, but Ghellie's face turned red.

 

"Deyviel's girl?" Ghellie echoed, her voice barely above a whisper. She looked at Kliev, confusion and a hint of embarrassment flickering in her eyes. "I'm not… I mean, I'm just Ghellie."

 

Kliev raised an eyebrow, a smirk playing on his lips. "Just Ghellie? You're the senator's daughter, and you've just been rescued from a vampire lair. That makes you pretty important, you know?"

 

Ethan chuckled lightly, trying to ease the tension. "Kliev's right. You're a lot more than 'just Ghellie.' You're the key, and we're glad that you weren't late this time. If something happens to you, that idiot will kill us for sure," Ethan jokingly said.

 

Ghellie's cheeks flushed a deeper shade of red, and she looked down, a shy smile creeping onto her face. "I appreciate that, but I just want to go home. I didn't ask for any of this."

 

"None of us did," Rebecca said, her voice softening. "But we're here now, and we'll do everything we can to keep you safe."

 

"Right," Kliev added, his tone turning serious. "We need to regroup with the others and come up with a plan. Lancer and Cedric won't stop until they find us, and we can't let them take you back."

 

Ethan nodded, his mind racing with thoughts of their next move. "We should find a secure location to lay low for a bit. We can't risk being caught out in the open."

 

As they moved deeper into the woods, the sounds of the night surrounded them, creating a strange sense of calm amidst the chaos they had just escaped. The moonlight filtered through the trees, casting dappled shadows on the ground, and for a moment, Ethan allowed himself to breathe, to feel a flicker of hope.

 

"Do you think the others are okay?" Ghellie asked, her voice breaking the silence.

 

"I hope so," Ethan replied, glancing back toward the direction they had come from. "They're strong, and they know what they're doing. We just have to trust that they'll find a way to regroup with us."

 

"Yeah, and if they don't, we'll just have to kick some vampire ass ourselves," Kliev said, a grin spreading across his face. "I mean, we've already come this far, right?"

 

Rebecca chuckled, shaking her head. "You're a little too eager for a fight, Kliev. If Deyviel were here, he'd say the usual. "Dude, you are addicted to battle; you need rehab." As she says that, they both laugh.

 

"Can you blame me? This is the most exciting thing that's happened in ages!" Kliev replied, his enthusiasm infectious.

 

Ethan couldn't help but smile at their banter, even as the weight of their situation loomed over them. "Let's keep moving. We need to find a safe spot to rest and plan our next steps."

 

As they continued through the woods, Ethan's mind raced with thoughts of Lancer and Cedric. He knew they wouldn't give up easily, and the thought of facing them again sent a shiver down his spine. But he also felt a sense of determination. They had come too far to turn back now.

 

Meanwhile, all four generals are in an intense battle with the vampire king (Lancer).

 

The air crackled with tension as the four generals faced Lancer, their weapons drawn and ready for battle. General McDougal, with his golden gauntlets glowing ominously, stepped forward, his voice booming with authority. "You've terrorized this land for too long, Lancer. Your reign of darkness ends here!"

 

Lancer sneered, his sharp fangs glinting in the dim light. "You think you can stop me with mere mortals? I am the king of vampires! Your strength means nothing to me!" He raised his hands, dark energy swirling around him like a storm, ready to unleash his wrath.

 

General Monica, her tempest harpoon crackling with electricity, shot back, "We're not just mere mortals. We've faced your kind before, and we will do it again!" She launched a bolt of lightning toward Lancer, but he deflected it with a wave of his hand, the energy dissipating into the air.

 

"Fools!" Lancer roared, his voice echoing through the lair. "You will all perish, and your precious humans will be mine!" He lunged forward, aiming for General Adrac, who stood firm, his warhammer raised high.

 

Adrac swung his hammer with all his might, the ground shaking beneath them as he struck at Lancer. The vampire king dodged, but the force of the blow sent shockwaves through the lair, knocking several of his minions off their feet. "You underestimate the power of unity, Lancer!" Adrac shouted, rallying his fellow generals.

 

As the battle raged on, General Arthur joined the fray, his sword Excalibur gleaming with a holy light. "We fight for those who cannot fight for themselves!" he declared, charging at Lancer with fierce determination. The vampire king met him head-on, their weapons clashing in a shower of sparks.

 

The generals fought valiantly, their movements synchronized as they worked together to keep Lancer at bay. But the vampire king was relentless, his dark magic swirling around him, creating a barrier that absorbed their attacks. "You think you can defeat me? I will turn this world into my kingdom, and you will be nothing but ashes!" he taunted, his eyes glowing with malice.

 

Meanwhile, Ethan, Kliev, Ghellie, Rebecca, and Clark were making their way through the woods, trying to put as much distance between themselves and the vampire lair as possible. The tension in the air was palpable, and Ethan couldn't shake the feeling that they were still being hunted.

 

"Do you think the generals will be able to hold him off?" Ghellie asked, her voice trembling slightly.

 

"They're strong," Ethan replied, trying to reassure her. "They've faced Lancer before. But we can't rely solely on them. We need to regroup and come up with a plan of our own."

 

Kliev nodded, his expression serious. "We can't let Lancer get to you again, Ghellie. You're too important to let fall into his hands."

 

As they moved deeper into the woods, Ethan's mind raced with thoughts of their next steps. "We need to find a safe place to rest and gather our strength. We can't let our guard down, not even for a moment."

 

Suddenly, a rustling in the bushes caught their attention. Ethan's heart raced as he turned to face the sound, ready for anything. "Stay alert!" he warned, gripping his weapon tightly.

Meanwhile, all of the remaining captains are currently facing their own opponents.

 

Captain Cooper and vice captain Elric are now facing the lord of the Velcron family, who has the ability to create a forcefield that can absorb kinetic energy and throw it back.

 

While Captain Ron Ji Woo (tattoo manifestation or can summon his tattoo) and his vice captain, Marc Spector (super speed),

 

Is up against the vampire lord of the Soldat family, has the blood hardening

 

While the seven sword captain, Cloud, and Clarine Redfield are currently fighting the vampire lord of the Megan family (who can use telepathy) with her vampire knight, Pilaso.

 

While the hatcher family leader (Lord Can Freeze and Boil His Blood) is currently fighting Andrew and Mizuno (while Mizuno is covering the moon, the vampire duo that befriended Rebecca, Lily, and Kim is coming to their aid).

 

While the last vampire lords (Fortuna, who can make his blood explode, and Grunt, who can stop someone from moving by spraying his blood on them), several vampire knights. Is now helping Lancer

 

as he battled the four generals. The air was thick with tension, and the sounds of clashing steel and anguished cries echoed throughout the lair.

 

Captain Cooper and Elric faced the lord of the Velcron family, a tall figure with an air of arrogance. "You think you can defeat me?" he sneered, raising his hands as a shimmering forcefield enveloped him. "Every attack you make will only empower me!"

 

"Then we'll just have to find a way to break through that shield," Cooper replied, determination etched on his face. He charged forward, throwing a powerful punch that collided with the forcefield. The impact sent shockwaves through the air, but the shield absorbed the energy, causing it to ripple like water.

 

Elric, quick on his feet, darted around the lord, looking for an opening. "We need to distract him! If we can keep him off balance, we might find a way to penetrate that shield!"

 

Meanwhile, Captain Ron Ji Woo and his vice captain, Marc Spector, were locked in a fierce battle against the vampire lord of the Soldat family. Ji Woo summoned his tattoos, which came to life; a giant orc came out to his back alongside a black dragon swirling around him like a protective barrier. "You think your blood hardening can stop me?" he taunted, launching a flurry of attacks.

 

The Soldat lord smirked, his skin hardening like stone. "You'll find my defenses are impenetrable!" He countered Ji Woo's strikes with ease, sending shockwaves through the ground.

 

Marc, using his super speed, zipped around the battlefield, looking for an opening. "We need to work together! I'll distract him, and you hit him with everything you've got!"

 

"Got it!" Ji Woo shouted, focusing his energy into a powerful strike. As Marc darted in and out, the Soldat lord struggled to keep up, and Ji Woo seized the moment, launching a devastating attack that cracked the lord's defenses.

 

Meanwhile, Cloud and Clarine were engaged in a mental duel with the vampire lord of the Megan family. The lord's telepathy was a formidable weapon, probing their minds for weaknesses. "You can't hide from me," he taunted, his voice echoing in their heads. "I know your every thought. Huh, why do I see boobs, hey?! Hey, don't think about Dick, no, no! This is unfair!"

 

"Don't let him get inside your head!" Cloud shouted, focusing on his swordplay. "We need to break his concentration!just continue to think those."

 

Clarine nodded with a bit of embarrassment, her own abilities flaring to life. "I'll create a distraction!" She unleashed a flurry of energy blasts, forcing the lord to divert his attention.

 

"Now!" Cloud shouted, lunging forward with his sword, aiming for the lord's heart. The vampire lord barely managed to dodge, but the distraction had given them the upper hand.

 

In another part of the lair, Mizuno and Andrew faced off against the hatcher family leader, who was unleashing waves of freezing and boiling blood. "You think you can defeat me?"The hatcher lord sneered, his blood swirling around him like a tempest. "I can control the very essence of life!"

 

"Shut up, you bloodsucking monster! All you can do is use blood; I can use the real deal, idiot!" As Mizuno shouted, still manipulating the moisture in the air, he countered with his water dragons, creating a barrier of mist. "We'll see about that!" he shouted, summoning the dragons to attack.

 

Andrew, using his agility, darted in and out, looking for an opening. "We need to keep him off balance! If we can disrupt his concentration, we might have a chance!"

 

As the battle raged on, the remaining captains fought valiantly against their opponents, each one determined to protect their comrades and stop Lancer's reign of terror.

 

Back in the woods, Ethan, Kliev, Ghellie, Rebecca, and Clark continued to move cautiously, the tension palpable as they navigated the shadows.

 

"Do you think we lost them?" Ghellie asked, glancing back nervously.

 

"I hope so," Ethan replied, scanning the area for any signs of danger. "But we can't let our guard down. Lancer and Cedric are relentless."

 

Suddenly, a rustling in the bushes caught their attention again. Ethan's heart raced as he turned to face the sound, ready for anything. "Stay alert!" he warned, gripping his weapon tightly.

 

From the shadows emerged a figure, cloaked in darkness. "You're not safe yet," the figure said, stepping into the moonlight. It was Kim, one of Rebecca's friends, her expression serious. "I've been looking for you."

 

"Kim!" Rebecca exclaimed, relief flooding her voice. "What are you doing here?"

 

Ethan's instincts kicked in as he saw the glint of fangs and the predatory gleam in Kim's eyes. "Get back!" he shouted, pushing Ghellie and the others behind him.

 

"Ethan, wait!" Rebecca cried, but it was too late. The figure lunged forward, a blur of motion, and Ethan barely had time to react. He swung his weapon, but Kim was faster, dodging to the side and countering with a swift kick that sent Ethan sprawling to the ground.

 

"Kim, no. What did you do to Kim?!? " Rebecca shouted, her voice filled with confusion and concern. "

 

The vampire laughed, a chilling sound that echoed through the trees. "Safe? Oh, dear, you don't know hahahaha," as the vampire laughs.

 

Ethan scrambled to his feet, heart racing as he faced Kim, but Kim's face slowly morphed into someone else's face.

 

"Fuck! That's not Kim; that's the leader of the Shin family! They can copy others appearances and their abilities.

 

Ethan's heart raced as he realized the gravity of the situation. The figure before him, once resembling Kim, was now a sinister imitation of their friend, the leader of the Shin family, a vampire known for her ability to mimic others. "What do you want?" Ethan demanded, trying to keep his voice steady despite the fear coursing through him.

 

The Shin leader smirked, her eyes glinting with malice. "Oh, I just wanted to have a little fun. You see, I've been watching you all, and I couldn't resist the opportunity to play with your emotions. You're so easy to manipulate, especially you, Rebecca."

 

"Get away from her!" Kliev shouted, stepping protectively in front of Ghellie and the others. "You won't get to her or any of us!"

 

The Shin leader laughed, a sound that sent chills down Ethan's spine. "You think you can stop me? I can be anyone, anywhere. You'll never know who to trust!" She lunged forward, her movements fluid and graceful, aiming to strike at Kliev.

 

Ethan reacted instinctively, activating his soul weapon (a metallic boot with red flame lines and two pipes for turbo and two gauntlets with a similar design, and it's called Gerbarra), lunging to intercept her. He swung his fist, but she was too quick, dodging to the side and countering with a sharp kick, but Ethan was able to match her kick with a roundhouse kick that sent shockwaves around them.

 

"Ethan!" Rebecca shouted, her eyes wide with concern. "Get up and get Ghelle to safety now!. I'll handle this.
