"All mages not already at the prison, need to be focusing on protecting the city! Make sure people near the commotion are escorted safely out of the area. Vampires from Julie's Domain will also help. We must evacuate the citizens from the Chronicler Domain. If we can't stop the over flow of criminals, we will drive them towards the forest. A blockade should already be set up in order to stop them from moving towards the center. Enemies with guns have been approved when it comes to taking them out. Assume anyone not using them are humans with abilities. They should not be taken lightly. If they are able to be stopped, I want them restrained! This is my order as your new current queen!" (Mabel)
Communication via technology like radios and phone were still quite brand new to the Lost City. They weren't yet applied tactically yet but luckily the royal palace had a room that was able to broadcast loudly to the city. Something that hadn't been used for years. Once a cloud of smoke fell on everyone, Mabel had to make sure there wasn't any panic. She had Julie go down and take command. Selena was to sit back and watch the royal palace while Raymond was the first line of defense.
Raymond stood outside the entrance, his senses were up, so even if his vision was blurred, he could still make out the slightest movements and sounds. Next to him was a former New Beginning member by the name of Nacho. A boy with the ability to run super fast who he took under his wing after defeating him.
"Tell me Nacho. How were they able to pull this off?" (Raymond)
"It must have been Cloud. She can physically become smoke but even she wouldn't be able to do something this big unless someone gave her the necessary power... Some one like Drain." (Nacho)
"Do you all have nicknames pertaining to your power? Wait why are you Nacho and not someone like Speedy?" (Raymond)
"Sort of. It's a game we played but it eventually stuck. I got mine because I just love nachos." (Nacho)
"You saw where the source of the smoke came from. Can you get her? and this Drain if possible? Their powers are very dangerous. I'd prefer if we gave them an option out before they cause more chaos for this group." (Raymond)
"Yes sir. They're like me, they don't want revenge like Ivan. All we wanted was freedom." (Nacho)
After their conversation ended, Nacho ran straight towards Cloud, leaving Raymond standing alone.
--------------------------------------------------
In the Chronicler's Domain, Lisa decided to head farther down in the prison in order to provide back up. Leaving Emma, Bree, and Allister on the ground floor.
"Emma, use your echo location thing to track the enemy. Target anyone with weapons. Bree your with me. we'll start from one end and make our way to the middle." (Allister)
""YES SIR!"" (Bree & Emma)
Emma jumped up to a higher ground while Allister and Bree went their separate ways. While on the move, Allister spoke to his inner demon.
Well I hope your ready Lupe. I'll feed you with enough blood that you'll be waking up feeling better than ever. (Allister)
Plucking a piece of his hair, he began enchanting it with unknown magic. If magic had a color, they would resemble that of Sophia's abilities but in Alister's case, only the color black flowed from his hand like black smoke.
"You are me, and I am you. As the holder of half my soul and heart, I command thee to manifest and become my sword. Feed on the blood of my enemies. Lupe." (Allister)
When he spread out his hands, the hair changed its physical form and turned into and black samurai looking sword. There was no specific form for Lupe but it was what Allister envisioned when he asked for a sword. On the blade were engravings that said "Lasciate ogne speranza" (Abandon all hope). As he grabbed the blade, the cloud began to loosen and eventually vanish.
"Seems the creator of this smoke has been taken care of... that or they ran out of magic." (Allister)
In front of Allister were 2 men with guns, ready to fire,
--------------------------------------------------
"Chris... Who was that on the speaker? You don't think she was serious?" (Jorge)
Jorge and Chris were both making their way through the cloud of smoke as guns were fired in every direction, people clashed and bullets ricocheted.
"It has to be the queen from the Last Frontier. Who else would Selena allow to take over. Besides we know about every noble here and she didn't sound like Julie. As for what she said... I would say yes and no." (Chris)
When a building came into view, Chris recommended they get to higher ground so they wouldn't be shot by both parties.
"I can only see a few outcomes coming from broadcasting their plan. One, she has full confidence her forces can drive them out even if the enemy knows the plan. Two, now that the enemy knows, it causes confusion. The part about killing those with guns will break down their morale. If they give up, perhaps they'll live but regardless, now they were given order to kill if New Beginning really plans to wipe themselves out." (Chris)
"What can we do to stop the shooting... Oh the smoke is lifting." (Jorge)
"Nothing. If we stop one side, then it'll turn into a one sided massacre. I'd rather not be responsible for that. Beside, I doubt New Beginning has enough ammunition." (Chris)
Jorge and Chris looked down at the battle that had ensued, from the corner of Jorge's eye, he noticed an incoming projectile heading his way.
"Jorge! You traitor! Die!" (?)
"Shooter." (Jorge)
Evading, the knives the enemy threw, Jorge punched the air, making sure his fist was facing his target as a blast of wind was shot out, sending Shooter back down to the ground.
"Wow, you have been training. I'm surprised Shooter missed." (Chris)
"He was just trying to catch my attention so I can see the moment when his bladed strikes me down... Asshol..." (Jorge)
"Bulls-eye!" (Charlotte)
Jorge's sentence was cut short when a fist connected to the side of his cheek, sending him crashing into a nearby building. When Chris regained her composure, she went to attack the unknown foe standing next to her but the girl was already gone.
"Don't worry about my sister. My name is Arthur Galles. I serve Lady Julie and lady Janet." (Arthur)
In front of Chris stood a boy, the one thing that caught her eye was how he also had silver hair just like the girl, a bizarre color she had never seen before; he wore a cape like uniform painted in all black, a silver sword being held by one hand while a short sword was on the on the other.
He's clearly not a noble... and yet... something about him gives off a dangerous vibe. That's right, Lisa did say that there are different types of vampires that can rival a noble... (Chris)
She stared at her wrist where a black wristband had been placed. She thought about the time when she had received this item from Allister.
> "What is this?" (Chris)
>
> "Its a tool I created. It will help limit your abilities so you don't accidently go over board. If my theory is correct, your body uses magic without a care for its own limit. So I made this for you. It can also seal your gift, it'll be like you never had the ability, so you can age normally. On top of that, your hair won't glow so you can look like your normal hair dying teenager." (Allister)
>
> "That's incredible! But, how is this possible?" (Chris)
>
> "Well, luckily I have another daughter who's also a Guardian. Denise was always worried about looking young so I made this. It took a lot of research and yelling from Sophia so make sure no one finds out about it. I was worried that if it completely took the color from your hair then it would make it too obvious so I had to change somethings. I recommend tweaking that blue hair a bit." (Allister)
>
> "Thanks!" (Chris)
>
> Over time, Chris would slightly dye her hair a little more blue than before. No one seemed to care other then the boys in school who were already starting fan clubs about her.
Sorry Grandfather, I might have to shatter this thing. Apparently this ability my mother passed down allows me to use magic without any circles. So everything will be based on my imagination... But my grandfather said if I say the words, it won't fog up my ability to use what I want... (Chris)
After a few seconds, Chris readied herself but she had to try one thing out first.
"I know Julie. We're friends with Lisa. We only came to stop our friend." (Chris)
Lisa name made Arthur's eye twitch, angering him inside.
"You dare call her by name alone. It seams you have no respect for royalty." (Arthur)
"Well, Jorge knows her more than me but we really are friends." (Chris)
"That boy does? How well is well? No it doesn't matter. I'll kill him!" (Arthur)
His words didn't hold any malice, from what Chris could see, he was just some jealous boy.
"Look, we aren't with New Beginning." (Chris)
"So you say but I don't recall us ever having warriors like you in our ranks. Everyone is accounted for expect you two. Besides, didn't you just say you were trying to stop your friend? Clearly you have some connection." (Arthur)
Arthur raised his blade, signaling that he was done talking, Chris eventually gave up as well.
"Forget it, here goes nothing, Water bullet!" (Chris)
She, shaped her hands to look like a gun, pointing her index finger at Arthur as she shot small bullet like water balls at him. Arthur didn't bother using his blade, he simply dodge them by slight moving his body until his very figure vanished. He was gone, until she looked up and saw him swinging down his blade from above.
------------------------------------
"Where is this place? Flowers?" (Jorge)
After Jorge got up from being punched in the face and landing inside another building. He was confused by his surrounding; the scene of flowers and a miniature waterfall almost made him forget he was in a prison.
"This is the gardening room. Our prison also houses juvenile delinquents so this room is to help reform them. Give em a sort of... piece of mind, a gentle place aside from a cold cell. Oh right, I didn't introduce myself did I? I'm Charlotte Galles," (Charlotte)
Placing his hand on his face, Jorge wondered if vampires were really this strong. He spit out some blood and one single tooth came out.
This is my first time being punched by a vampire other than Lisa but she always held back. Although...
"When I first noticed you use your power, I figured we were similar. My brother specializes in swordsmanship's where I am better in martial arts. Meaning, my fist are my swords." (Charlotte)
"...." (Jorge)
"Anyways, I usually fight with gloves that have a certain material but I want this to be a fun fight so I'll use my bare hands. Though I can see how that will still hurt... You ready?" (Charlotte)
image [https://img.wattpad.com/37dc109fb60362f1b506227d3ad6ffb56d3bfa05/68747470733a2f2f73332e616d617a6f6e6177732e636f6d2f776174747061642d6d656469612d736572766963652f53746f7279496d6167652f782d724b75353571744d4c4f43673d3d2d313335393733313135382e313764333534623335396134363830303530303234323136363538302e6a7067?s=fit&w=1280&h=1280]
"Not really. I didn't come here to fight you guys. I came to stop my friend from getting himself and New Beginning killed." (Jorge)
"You're no fun. I even held back some. I could have blown your head clean off!" (Charlotte)
"I appreciate that..." (Jorge)
She dashed towards him and lifted her leg to extend above Jorge's height, hoping to smash the back of her heel on top of his head.
----------------------------------------------
The Last Frontier.
"Don't panic! We don't know what our enemies true objectives are." (Abigail)
While the fight began within the Lost City, Ivan was conducting a plan of his own. He was aware that the Last Frontier had been attack not to long ago so he had devised a plan where he would target location no one expected. Thanks to a man named Tobias, he was able to recruit and even expand his influence. Because of Tobias's rank, he was able to get intel on the inner circle, their factions, homes, work and more. Since Ivan didn't bring along any of the others he escaped with, he cared very little about whether this group lived or not. In fact, he assumed they would eventually be wiped out since Mabel's forces were rumored to be very powerful.
"So you're the culprit." (Akira)
"Easy Akira. We don't know how strong he really is." (Gomez)
As Ivan looked down at the city, 2 voices spoke out to him. One brown skin man by the name of Gomez, and another with a lighter tone skin by the name of Akira. 2 of the Inner Circles he had chosen to attack.
"What's your name stranger?" (Gomez)
"You can call me... Alex." (Ivan)
"Never heard of you but your games end today." (Gomez)
Ivan felt triggered by Gomez's words. He was doing all this for a reason. Clenching his right fist, Ivan's arm transformed to that of a bears.
"Nothing about this... is a game. I plan to change these corrupted cities who only seem to obey vampires." (Ivan)
They were impressed by his ability, Ivan was expecting some sort of reaction but it seemed like they didn't care.
"He's like you Gomez." (Akira)
"Doubt it, he's just a kid." (Gomez)
Taking out two magic tags from his pockets , Gomes placed them on his arm as they glowed. Transforming his arms to resemble that of a gorilla's, the magic tags eventually changed into armor like plates that surrounded his arm and encompassed his hands like boxing gloves.
"There's a time limit to these things so I can't waste anytime." (Gomez)
Leaping into the air, Gomez stretched out his hands, as he moved like a spinning top. Every time Ivan jumped back, the distance between the two would get closer and closer until Ivan gave up and used his arms to block. The force from the attack, sent him bouncing back. Gomez didn't give Ivan the time to get up, he simply went straight for a finishing blow but his fist were stopped short when Ivan caught it. Changing the other hand, Ivan tried to attack but Gomez shielded himself, luckily his abdomen was exposed and Ivan used it to break free.
"So you do have some fight in you." (Gomez)
"Switch!" (Akira)
Akira jumped in with out Gomez's consent,, taking out a wrist band containing nine beads.
"Come out, Tengu and Enerugī!" (Akira)
2 of his beads shot out like arrows; one transforming into a large crow, the size of a him while the other went to his hand and took the form of a Japanese spear known as a Yari.
"You really aren't holding back are you?" (Gomez)
"Its been a while since I had a real fight. Those soulless corpses were so boring. Besides, you're one to talk... using that armor." (Akira)
These two are just toying with me... If they really wanted to kill me, they could. Sorry guys, my plan for coming back might be delayed. (Ivan)
Thinking back on how he got to this point, Ivan couldn't help but look up at the sky. Their main objective was to help free his people but also take over half of the Lost City while the commotion in the Last Frontier was just a distraction. That being the case, he still had a mission her, sabotaging the teleportation door that links the two cities. There were two ways Ivan could get from one place to the other; using the main entrance like all of the citizens did or royal door that Adrian had provided in his mothers domain that connects to her current estate in the Last Frontier.
When Ivan met with the man known as Tobias, he had a few of New Beginnings members with him as a show of force. He learned that Tobias also wanted to cause chaos within his own city. Since Ivan had enough man power to shake the city, his plan was to have New Beginning come and cause that rumble. How would he do that? Simple, Ivan told Tobias that utilizing the plan he already had in the Lost City. The only difference was, they would escape to the Last Frontier. There was only one problem, the royal doors could only transfer a max of 2-3 people at once and constantly doing it would eventually make it overheat or lose power. Tobias was unaware of this and it was perfect for Ivan
Prior to their use, they were given teleportation tag from Adrian. They could only teleport one person and it was to risky to use incase they were caught. They didn't want them to be their primary way of transportation, such a use would be noticed over time and ruin the plan. The last time they were used was during the broadcasting and since then, gave up on them, Which led to the royal door.
> "And so, you want me to go back and help Alex?" (Bug)
>
> "Yes. I'll have Tobias's forces target specific locations. Their plan is to conduct covert like attacks and before moving towards the gate, We need to disrupt their capability to travel." (Ivan)
>
> "Won't it be highly guarded? They don't even know that we've been using one of the noble's doors." (Bug)
>
> "They will eventually. That's why movement stopped between the two cities. The Lost City has a giant barrier which stops us from leaving. So where else could we possibly escape too? I suspect those doors will be guarded so we'll conduct an attack from this side. Besides, it reassures Tobias that we're serious. That's why I can't have you here, things will get ugly... Chances are... I'll be stuck as well." (Ivan)
>
> "How do you plan on getting back?" (Bug)
>
> "I don't, not for a while at least. I'll escape the city and make my way towards you guys somehow. If I'm lucky, I'll find king William and take him out." (Ivan)
>
> "You're crazy if you plan to take on a noble all by yourself, but I'm sure you have something up your sleeve. I'll wish for your safe return. Hopefully Tobias doesn't betray you to early." (Bug)
>
> "It won't matter. Originally, he wanted Allister but I offered him something more. In the end , he and a few of his men will betray us and try to come out as heroes." (Ivan)
>
> "Allister's name has been spreading. People said that no one has been able to get away form him. He and some noble have been taking down a few of our groups with out breaking a sweat. It's the noble vampire, Chrome talked about." (Bug)
>
> "I'm glad I was lucky enough to never run into them then." (Ivan)
Tobias should be starting soon. I'll leave this city once I know the door is down. (Ivan)
Ivan snapped back to reality, staring down his opponents.
"Are you guys done bickering?" (Ivan)
Turning around and running, he jumped from one roof to another, knowing at any moment, they can attack and send him falling down to his death.
"Tengu, don't allow him to get away." (Akira)
The bird took to the sky, when it got into Ivan field of view, it used its wings to create a gust of wind, stopping him in his tracks. Ivan sensed Akira coming but couldn't evade when the spear slashed his arm. There was no wound, no blood coming from where he was sliced even though he felt the pain.
"My arm isn't bleeding?" (Ivan)
"My weapon is called Enerugī. It doesn't wound its enemies, instead it eats their energy with early slice. Cool right?" (Akira)
Looking down at his arm as it reverted back normal, as it grew limp and refused to move.
"Enerugī is a playful spirit who decides what she wants energy to be. After all, whether its energy, a soul, magic, or even chi... They're all the same in the end." (Akira)
"Back hand slap!" (Gomez)
Concerned over his arm, the bird flying around his backside, and the man with a magic spear standing before him, Ivan couldn't respond when Gomez came in and slapped him down to the ground.
"We hate this 2v1 tactic but your group is currently a problem for us, so we can't do a whole one on one right now." (Akira)
"Well... you're not a threat at all. We have other things to worry about but you threatened our queen's home and her family... So I guess you are a big deal." (Gomez)
After giving a few slashes to the fallen Ivan, he didn't have the energy to get back up, Gomez and Akira conversed on how they should deal him. Things were starting to feel hopeless until explosions from afar took their focus off of Ivan. He turned into a lion and ran right between them.
"He has two transformation." (Akira)
"A kid like him? Wait, but those explosions..." (Gomez)
"We'll check it out later, we can't..." (Akira)
A loud roar came from Ivan, assuming it was a type of signal. From far away, mages gathered on every roof with each of them making a fire ball and combining them. Akira used his spear to slice away the magic until it finally vanished. When they looked towards Ivan direction, he was gone, as well as the people who casted the magic.
"He got away..." (Gomez)
This novel is published on a different platform. Support the original author by finding the official source.
"So it would appear." (Akira)
"Last I heard, New Beginning didn't have mages in their ranks." (Gomez)
"In other words... We have a traitor in our midst. Thank you for letting us know... Alex of New Beginning." (Akira)
-------------------------------------------
Chronicler's Domain
"Bug how is it looking at each location?" (Alex)
"Everyone is fighting. Overtime, their guns will over power us. It's to be expected after all. They have actual training." (Bug)
While Jorge and Chris were in Julie's Domain, looking for Alex, he was actually within Lisa Domain, targeting the very prison he had escaped. They had targeted multiple location such as the prisons, the royal palace, police stations and even the teleportation door. Their main force was focused on Lisa's prison in order to free the rest of prisoners with abilities similar to their own. Since New Beginning escaped, they had taken up refuge in the slums, helping the poor. In return, they were able to increase their numbers. Their next objective was to go after the underground gangs that grew during David's rule. Once they moved to the Last Frontier, their numbers sky rocketed. Not once did anyone notice since the Vampires didn't care and they blended among the people. The prisoners were the ones being targeted so everyone was safe.
When people migrated to the Lost City, Williams plan was to help expand their cities perimeter. Beyond the walls consisted of farming homes as well as other estates belonging to previous and current vampires. They even had an abandon town just within the barrier. Raymond's reason for being here was to examine that very town and decide if it could withstand the influx in citizens but in the end, they couldn't stop them from setting up homes even if the town wasn't complete. Thus giving another hiding spot and recruiting location for New Beginning. Their current plan was to storm the Chronicler's prison with 4 waves. The first wave would be striking during the smoke and alternate with the other wave of forces. It would give them time to reinforce their offense while the opposing side was constantly fighting a never ending battle.
"Bug, signal the next wave to go in. Also... It’s time you used those paralyzing bugs to slow them down. Once we run out of bullets, it'll be a massacre." (Alex)
"On it…" (Bug)
Bug looked at Alex with concerned. Prior to their attack, they both had a long conversation about life, about the city, and about Ivan’s true intentions.
> "Tell me. No one ever really took notice but if Ivan ever knew something important, then I can only assume you did as well. So, what are your current abilities now?" (Alex)
>
> His question was an easy thing to answer but Bug knew what he was really asking.
>
> "Ever since we started working at the refugee camp... I learned something about my powers and even this city." (Bug)
>
> "And that is?" (Alex)
>
> "My magic isn't based off of how much I can use but rather, how far my influence can extend. You know this because I can watch over the others even if I’m not there. The thing is... My influence extended past the barrier too..." (Bug)
>
> "You mean... Your magic can get past it?" (Alex)
>
> "In a sense. It's only a theory but if people with powers similar to Cloud's could physically change then... maybe its possible to leave. I used my senses on a bug and it got through." (Bug)
>
> "What did you see?" (Alex)
>
> "I figured out how far my limit went but more than that? Nothing really... Its like a never ending forest but the creepy thing is... I felt like I was being watched. It didn't make sense until I ran into a woman with green hair... it was only a second and then... she just vanished." (Bug)
>
> "It could be that spirit we always heard about. Why keep it a secret?" (Alex)
>
> "We couldn't risk people like Cloud leaving us. It wasn't right but... we needed all the hands we had in order to fight. That’s when Ivan came up with another theory that assured us they could actually leave. The warden." (Bug)
>
> "The current king said she and her father had something to do with the barrier, that's why she was able to leave." (Alex)
>
> Bug looked at Alex with a serious face.
>
> "We think she had a similar ability that allowed her to slip past the barrier. Ever since you told us there were other criminals more dangerous than us in that prison than perhaps there might be someone who could either turn the fight or better. Break the seal." (Bug)
>
> Alex sighed as he kicked some pebbles around.
>
> "I don’t even know if they’ll side with us. I never met them. But when I saw the chambers, it looked like they were frozen." (Alex)
>
> "We’ll free them and decide what to do after." (Bug)
>
> "What's up with the Last Frontier? Is it a losing battle?" (Alex)
>
> "There’s that but also… We plan on destroying the teleportation doors. Ivan was worried that if we caused to much problems, the magic queen would get involved. You should know how powerful she is." (Bug)
>
> Alex looked back on the day she first revealed herself to everyone. The power she displayed had everyone in awe and they knew one thing, she had power they could never imagine. Rumors later spread about how she was practically a god from such a young age. One of the strongest people to ever exist.

> "I’ve only ever felt fear like that a few time in my life…" (Alex)
>
> ”Is it that werewolf instinct?" (Bug)
>
> "Yea. Something like that. I don’t sense magic but rather...auroras. Like light and darkness type of auroras. The first time was when I was a kid. My mother and I were running from a scary church, their power was bright like the sun… and all I knew was that I had to run. I was only a kid after all. They were weak but it was was there, the power they depended on. Truth is, I always felt that slight fear from Chris too… Although she was a friend so I never worried." (Alex)
>
> Bug laughed at Alex’s words. It was obvious why Chris was powerful. She was the only person out of all of them who could actually use magic. Everyone feared her deep down and it was also the reason why they never bothered attacking. Her leaving the group was a big slap for them but Alex wasn't referring too the magic. He always felt something beyond her power.
>
> "The second time was when I met a woman. Elisa Vazquez. It was the first time I felt true darkness. She didn’t show it, but I knew she could kill me in an instant. I didn’t tell Ivan but there was another other reason why I ‘m worried about the prisoners. I could slightly sense it... the light, just like those guys from the church." (Alex)
>
> ”That’s why your worried about whose side one of them might be on?" (Bug)
>
> “We have no choice now though. We’ll have to take our chances.” (Alex)
>
> “Fair enough. Was there any other power you felt.” (Bug)
>
> “Yes, and I feel it right now… in the city. A darkness." (Alex)
Alex heart felt like it sank to the bottom of his stomach. For that power he felt was there, within that prison.
”It’s time we went in as well Bug. We must be fast. If you face anyone who feel likes that they are incredibly dangerous… then I recommend you run.” (Alex)
“Got it. I picked out the perfect team. I won’t fail. (Bug)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Come on kid. How long are you going to evade my attacks!" (Charlotte)
"I told you. I don't want to fight!" (Jorge)
With every swing Charlotte threw at Jorge, he would dodge them with out returning a swing. Once Jorge changed his method of dodging by ducking down, Charlotte responded with a kick, he used the ability to transfer his energy down to his feet, pushing off the ground and flying straight towards the ceiling. Covering her eyes from the debris and wind left behind from the blast, she hadn't realized Jorge kicking of the wall which resulted in an increase of speed.
"You know, something about the way you move... Reminds me of vampires." (Charlotte)
She decided to do the same, kicking of the ground at speed where they would collide in the center. When Jorge felt like they were close enough, he released his power from his fist, unfortunately, charlotte was to fast and evaded. It looked as if she was twirling around Jorge in mid air and then connected with a kick, sending him crashing down to the ground.
Struggling to get up, Jorge could tell his ribs were cracked. Through the cloud of dust, Charlotte saw his pink eyes beaming through.
"As I thought. You're a familiar. Judging by the smell of your blood... You belong to lady Elizabeth. I hope you have some of her blood with you, because you won't be able to heal as fast or even restrain yourself with out the help of your master." (Charlotte)
She's right... I should have asked Gabriel... I left with out getting any. I really don't wish to fight but that's not the only reason. My mind is still getting used to having two separate memories. The me who trained with Chris and Raymond is constantly fighting with the one who trained under the Chroniclers. On top of that, I can't focus with this girl always on me. (Jorge)
Jorge powers were complicated, as was his life. He has the ability to focus his inner magic at certain points in his body to release a blast of energy the resembles wind. The impact could be tremendous or weak depending on the user's mastery of it. Prior to learning this, his body was spreading his inner magic at all points, making everyone think he was just simply strong and faster than normal people. Not knowing the details from amnesia, he was stuck either succeeding in having that extra power or breaking his limbs. Another confusion was the ability to heal, which was revealed to be a gift given by Elizabeth Chronicler. A spell Most noble vampire had but was never really used. He wasn't a vampire but he was given an increase in his physical prowess and the ability to heal. A majority of vampires didn't really rely on such things and found it beneficial just recruiting lesser vampires as a sort of familiar and master relationship.
Got no choice I guess. I'll just give her what she wants. (Jorge)
"Alright, lets dance." (Jorge)
"Its about time." (Charlotte)
Jorge's body started to produce heat, it wasn't as visible but Charlotte could feel the temperature in the room slightly changing. This was also an after effect from using his ability. They dashed towards each other, raising their right arms; Jorge wasn't amused but his opponent couldn't hide the happiness she was feeling, the excitement and curiosity from wondering what would happened once their fist connected with one another.
He's strong, not the most elegant fighter but strong. Good thing I didn't hold back... I could feel the power his body releases, the pressure, even as it's pushing my fist back. (Charlotte)
The backlash from their power sent them flying back, cracks formed around the whole building until everything collapse. When they both got up, the sky was in full view. Both of their arms were badly hurt but only Jorge's was broken. As they faced each other for another round, Charlotte's face began to blush.
"You truly are strong, your fighting style could use some work but you've already got my respect. Say have you ever thought about becoming a real vampire? I'm still looking for a husband." (Charlotte)
"What?" (Jorge)
“I’m confessing to you, human.” (Charlotte)
Jorge thought, how does one even respond to that? How does one respond in a way that doesn’t cause a vampire to get even more angry?
”Sorry… But my heart belongs to Selena… Actually, I don’t think the feeling is mutual but I have a plan for that.” (Jorge)
“How disappointing. I wish you the best but you should know, she’s a queen. She won’t have time for you.” (Charlotte)
“I know, but like I said. I have a plan.” (Jorge)
She felt envious, wishing one could fight for her like that. When she signaled him to get ready, Jorge couldn’t help but look defeated. His arm was in pain, and his body felt like it would over heat if he went for another round.
“Look the intruders are over there!” (Random Guard)
“Chrome! Guards on our right!” (Random New Beginning member)
2 separate crowd of people came face to face as they surrounded Jorge and Charlotte. Not realizing they had just interrupted a fight. One guard asked his superior if that was one of the vampires they served, which he nodded back in fear.
”Jorge? What are you doing here?” (Chrome)
“Chrome… Hey I have questions for you!” (Jorge)
"How dare you cock block our fight!" (Charlotte)
Charlotte yelling shook everyone to their core, when Jorge figured out what she was doing, he grabbed Chrome and made a run for it. She lifted her hand to the air and after balling it into a fist, she swung them at each other, creating a force of energy that spread out in every direction. Anyone caught in it were sent flying, leaving no one around her. Jorge was able to get out before it was to late, dragging Chrome behind a nearby building.
"Who the hell was that?" (Chrome)
"Some vampire. Good thing I got you out, she's really scary. Forget that! Where's Alex?" (Jorge)
"Alex? Where else? In the Chronicler domain looking for June. She was caught in a different domain but apparently Ivan has connections to a noble vampire and he made sure to keep her there." (Chrome)
"You guys have been working with a vampire?" (Jorge)
What does this mean? (Jorge)
While Jorge was thinking to himself, a bright light reflected off his face. The sheer power brought chills to his bones as the light shot up into the sky until it hit the barrier surrounding the city. The barrier wasn't destroyed but a large crack appeared in the ceiling.
"What the hell is going on...." (Jorge)
The power used during Charlotte's fight finally hit him as he passed out beside Chrome.
------------------------------------------------
"Is this how you plan to defeat me? with water?" (Arthur)
During the beginning of Jorge's fight, Chris was dealing with a foe of her own. The twin brother of Charlotte, who went by Arthur Galles. Chris was hopping from building to building while shooting a arrows at Arthur. Her plan was to check on Jorge but every time she got close, he would get in the way. Once she turned to face him, Arthur figured she was finally getting serious.
Placing her hand on the ground, the air started to get chilly as the ground froze over, making its way towards Arthur. Spikes pultruded from the ground which he dodged by jumping into the air. Using her other hand, Chris made more water arrows but this time, they froze, Arthur wasn't impressed. In fact, he was quite disappointed, slashing the incoming projectiles to pieces with his sword, Arthur vanished and appeared next to Chris.
"Enough." (Arthur)
Raising his blade in the air, Arthur swung down, ready to decapitate Chris. Before the blade could hit its mark, a layer of ice was surrounding her like a ball. She still looked worried when seeing the area Arthur had struck was badly cracked.
"I had a few theories but I think I found my answer. At first I thought you were just an amature. After all, I doubt lady Liz spent most of her time training you but clearly you've been doing some training since you escaped. So there's only one conclusion. You can't control your power. In other words, you know your current limit and your afraid using powerful spells will go past that, so your conserving your magic capacity." (Arthur)
"..." (Chris)
"It's an interesting plan but you made one mistake. Quantity won't win over quality when it comes to me. Then again, I'm prepared to take on even your strongest spell. So fighting like this is pointless." (Arthur)
Rather than slashing, Arthur brought back his blade and stabbed the ball of ice, breaking through and slicing the left side of Chris's shoulder. Moving back a few feet, Chris was frustrated with the difference in their power. Because of her magic ability, she was always considered the strongest compared to the others. It wasn't until she met Raymond that she realized there were stronger people, even if their battle wasn't serious. Fighting Flare during Clarissa's rescue wasn't necessarily difficult but she was force to improvise and it was the first time she noticed her limit.
> "Alright everyone. Today we'll be learning about your abilities. In front of you are numbered rooms. As I assigned these numbers to you, make your way to the rooms." (Liz)
>
> Everyone was lined up against the wall. This was after Liz finished looking for the unique humans. Although they shared cells with normal juvenile delinquents, when it came time for testing, they would be taken away.
>
> "Why? so you know whose useful for your army? Or is it for experiments?" (Ivan)
>
> A majority of the kids were in their early teens, but there were a few around 15 and 16. One of them was Ivan, who some saw as an older brother figure.
>
> "Well if one day you go out and see the world, its good you know about your abilities. It's also beneficial for us to know how to deal with it incase you lose control. You of all people should know why you’re better off here than out there. Right Ivan?" (Liz)
>
> "Alright lets do this!" (Jorge)
>
> "Oh right, I almost forgot you were here Jorge. You and Alex won't be participating in this today, so just sit back and watch.” (Liz)
>
> As each kid entered their assigned rooms, in front of them were either targets or materials to utilize. Next to each child were windows, so they were able to see what the other was doing. Chris watched Liz as she walked around, educating each person, giving advise on their abilities. It was the first time she saw everyone use their powers. A boy who could pick up a metal bar, one who transformed into that very metal, even a girl turning into a small half human half butterfly, like a fairy. Once it was her turn, the warden asked her to begin.
>
> "I don't know what to do." (Chris)
>
> "Think hard about it. What do you think you can do? What have you ever noticed throughout your life?" (Liz)
>
> The young Chris was silent. She stood there for a moment, thinking and it finally clicked. She always felt the surrounding magic around her. She could feel the inner magic in everyone but it wasn't the same as when her mother when she previously had her abilities. She was never taught by Denise and it was odd. In the end, perhaps she was just to young, and it could have been dangerous for a child in a city that outlawed people like her.
>
> Eventually, it finally clicked. Water droplet appeared from out of thin air as it turned into snow flakes and slowly fell to the floor.
>
> "And there we have it. You can use magic." (Liz)
>
> "Why do this warden? Was Ivan right? Do you wish to experiment on us?" (Chris)
>
> "No, I have no need for that. I already know everything about you guys. Look, you see the guys in the lab coats behind me?" (Liz)
>
> She turned to find several men and women, taking notes.
>
> "They're researchers and their role in all this is to study you guys. Take notes. If there are any limits to your powers or anything that can hurt you from using it... It's best if they know so they can make counter measure or figure out ways to help you. I can careless about an army, but I took you guys in. I need to make sure you guys are ready and understand what it is you can do." (Liz)
>
> "Do you plan to train us?" (Chris)
>
> "To a certain degree. But I'm not the same as you guys. Eventually you'll have to train your selves or find some one who can." (Liz)
>
> "How? Aren't we trapped?" (Chris)
>
> "This is only temporary, remember?" (Liz)
>
> I can't tell if she's lying or not. But I can't imagine them releasing people like us out into the city just like that... (Chris)
>
> Liz looked at the girl and smiled.
>
> "The future has many outcomes. Which one will you choose...." (Liz)
>
> "I don’t understand... I just hope I don't have to keep wearing these bandages in the future." (Chris)
>
> Liz laughed out loud as she padded Chris's head.
>
> "I'll tell you a secret. You have a power these guys will never understand. You might not want to be a leader and they might even fear you, but you can use this ability to keep things in check. Learn what it means to have this power. You know? It might even take some fear for everyone to understand." (Liz)
Sorry Liz, I should have taken your advise and... Grandfather, I can't hold back any longer. (Chris)
Chris looked at her hand, the magic she started to release shattered the bracelet into pieces. The color of her hair started to glow as it turned an icy blue.
"Sorry for keeping you waiting." (Chris)
With one step, Ice grew from the bottom of her feet like plants as they moved towards Arthur in an accelerating rate while also growing bigger to reach his height. Even though he jumped back, he couldn't stop the ice from swallowing his arm. When Arthur broke free, he felt an unusual feeling in his arm.
It wasn't just covered in ice... It feels completely frozen... I'm not familiar with magic but I have never seen the mages we hired doing something like this. Its like... her ice magic pierced the inside of my skin... (Arthur)
"I'm impressed but... It seems you're still holding back." (Arthur)
"Its like you said. I have my limits. I can make my magic a little more deadlier but I don't wish to fall just yet." (Chris)
Sticking her hand out as if to grab something, Chris made a pillar of ice. When it shattered, a sword of ice floated in front of her. Arthur laughed, the idea that she would choose to fight him with a sword was both funny and hurtful.
"Are you mocking me? or is it?" (Arthur)
"I figured you out as well. The reason you kept pushing me was because of my blood wasn't it? I felt it when we first met. You’re the same as me... the same as Julie. That's probably why I didn't hate her. I never understood this feeling at first until I met my grandfather and he explained everything to me. That's another reason why Liz's prison terrified me so much... Because I felt something there too but it was faint." (Chris)
The prison? (Arthur)
Arthur looked towards the Chronicler domain, unaware of what or who she was referring too. During his stay here, he only ever felt the presence of Julie's and his sister. When he started fighting Chris was the fourth time. He didn't know who the third was but the moment Allister entered the Lost City, his darkness was felt throughout the city. Although only a special few could feel it, they never would have guessed it was because he shared his body and soul with a demon. Since Lupe stayed dormant and asleep, his aurora was weak so no one considered him a threat except for Alex, but they knew, he was in the city.
While distracted, Chris tried to sneak up on Arthur but when she swung her sword, he easily parried it away. Rotating his body, Arthur swung down his blade, only to find it blocked. It was obvious to any swordsman that she wasn't an experienced fighter and yet, her body moved on its own. As if something within had a mind of its own. Every time their blades clashed, the power Chris released would cover Arthur swords in a thin sheet of ice, which would crack when they made contact again and again.
"You move like a natural. I shouldn't be surprised though, it runs in our blood but in the end..." (Arthur)
When Chris notice an opening, she went in for the kill, only to find Arthur had vanished and a shadow loomed over her.
He jumped over me? I thought he let his guard down but was that all part of his plan? (Chris)
When he touch back down, he instantly swift Chris off her feet who quickly grabbed on to his arm before falling. When he used his other arm, the short sword bounced off due to a wall of ice she created.
"Check mate." (Chris)
"Like I said. You move like a natural but you lack combat experience and you’re still holding back." (Arthur)
Ice began to spread up to his forearm but that didn't concern him.
"You forget one thing. I'm A vampire." (Arthur)
Arthur twisted his arm as it shattered into pieces, just before his sword touch the ground, he caught it with his remaining arm and stabbed Chris, nailing her to the ground.
"If you use your magic wisely, you should be able to heal that wound. There's no doubt you are a warrior." (Arthur)
"What do you know about my lineage? My family?" (Chris)
Arthur looked in disbelief. How could she not know about her own family lineage? Not knowing that Chris’s mother never talked about her past or her family other than Allister.
"I don't but I can at least tell you about who we are." (Arthur)
Chris laughed, even as she coughed up blood. She said it on a whim but she never thought her enemy would agree.
"Don't worry, I know you aren't our enemy. We serve Lady Julie. It's only natural that we would know about you guys. We Just couldn't help it... we wanted a good fight." (Arthur)
"That's annoying." (Chris)
The sword lodged into her shattered after Chris poured enough magic, with the help of Arthur, she was able to get off of the ground.
"It's said that at the beginning of time, heaven was at war with each itself. Do you know what that war was called?" (Arthur)
"Sorry, I was practically raised in a prison." (Chris)
"It was called the Holy War. Eventually the world was created, and used to imprison the traitorous angels. They were given new names... Demons." (Arthur)
At first, Chris was tired, regretting asking the question until she heard that word and an image of Allister appeared in her head.
"The war continued for centuries and in a way... still goes on till this very day. The only issue is... these demons and angels are to powerful to exist in this world word. So, do you know how they solved that issue?" (Arthur)
"They live within humans?" (Chris)
"Yea. It's called possession. It started when humans reached out into the dark abyss. Demons created host, shared their power but it caused an imbalance in the world so these angels chose warriors. Chosen ones... and holy knights. One was picked since birth to be like their reincarnation. When a demon leaves a part of its self in this worlds, an angel must also do the same in order to kill that evil. We are Holy warriors. " (Arthur)
"How did we come to be?" (Chris)
As soon as Chris answered her question, a nearby building collapsed to the ground, Arthur instantly knew it was his sister.
"We were gifted with power, in the form of weapons. Over time, our ancestors took that power in and it changed our DNA. Even though those weapons are long gone, our ability to wield and move with such mastery is still there. The difference between us and them, is that we were gifted power in order to fight the demons followers." (Arthur)
"This all sounds farfetched to me but then again... monster exist. Dam this wound isn’t healing." (Chris)
When Chris thought about everything she heard, she couldn't help but wonder what was her grandfather's history, and chuckled at the relationship he had with her mother even though they were mortal enemies. A sudden bright light caught them off guard when it shot out from Allister's direction, hitting the barrier, the same view Jorge was seeing for the first time as well.
"It can't be..." (Arthur)
"You know what that is?" (Chris)
"Only one power can effect this barrier and contain such light... an angel." (Arthur)
"In other words..." (Chris)
Arthur put his guard up when an a blood like needle came flying at them from behind, when he deflected the weapon, he never anticipated an over powering attack pinning him down to the ground. Looking up into the sky, red eyes were staring back at him. The individual’s arm had extended out, changing into blood, which he used to harden and stab Arthur in multiple locations through out his body, stopping him from moving even a muscle.
"I should have known... Jimmy. Jimmy the jester" (Arthur)
"Jimmy?" (Chris)
"It's been a while Arthur. I never expected you to be this beat up. Regardless, it worked in my favor. Luckily for me, I caught you off guard. You shouldn't bother moving either little girl or else I'll kill him." (Jimmy)
Jimmy had been watching their fight and figured if he tried to capture her, she would over power him with ice. Since that was the case, he switched to his second plan, wait until their fight ended and then hold Arthur hostage. In addition, he also had Charlotte to worry about.
"Bro!" (Charlotte)
"Right on cue." (Jimmy)
When Jimmy looked off to his left, he saw Charlotte as she helped keep Jorge on his toes by lending a shoulder. He gave them the same order but it only pissed of Jorge. He was wounded and exhausted but that wasn't going to stop him from fighting Jimmy.
"I knew you were scum from the moment I saw you." (Jorge)
"Really? From that little encounter? Are you an idiot?" (Jimmy)
"What?" (Jorge)
"Don't. He may look young but he's practically the same age as Lady Elizabeth." (Charlotte)
"What is he?" (Chris)
"He's a relative... of Raymond. Meaning, he has the same ability to freely control his blood."
As Arthur spoke, blood spilled from his mouth and wounds. It wasn't fatal, after all, it would take more than that attack to kill a vampire, especially if they weren't using a special type of material. All Chris could do was watch as she held on to her own wound. From afar, she could see buildings collapsing and clouds of smoke rising in Alister direction. It was clear to her that Allister was out there fighting a fierce battle.
Dam it. I need to know what's happening over there on Lisa's side and yet I'm stuck with one fight after another... (Chris)
Then she noticed it, the look Arthur had wasn't that of pain, he wasn't even worried.
"Tell me Jimmy. Is this Adrian's doing?" (Arthur)
Adrian? Who the hell is that? (Chris)
"My orders were to keep you here. I assumed it was to stop anyone from interfering in Lisa's domain. From what I can see, everything is going great. I mean look at the sky, it's cracking..." (Jimmy)
"So that's how it is and you still had the balls to enter my domain with out permission, Jimmy?" (?)
"Who's that?" (Chris)
"Don't worry, everything is find now." (Arthur)
When Jimmy looked down at everyone from the sky, it gave Jimmy a type of god complex. Something he enjoyed feeling, not caring if the opposite party thought the same. He couldn't fly but being able to control his own blood at will, gave him a similar ability. Since he could make blood float and move, it was only natural he could do the same with his own body. When he looked up, there was an even stronger person, and compared to her? He was a mere pebble. With a snap of her finger, the part of Jimmy body that was completely turned into blood, broke apart and floated up towards her, bubbles of blood had taken up the sky in their eyes.
"Janet... What are you doing here?" (Jimmy)
"you ask why? When this is my domain?" (Janet)
" I meant, why aren't you sleeping?" (Jimmy)
"How can I sleep with all this ruckus going on? To make things worse, I come to find you messing with my underlings. Do you want to die?" (Janet)
"Is that a joke?" (Jimmy)
She sighed as she looked at Jimmy, already bored of their conversation.
"The joke is you jester." (Janet)
When she lifted her hand, Arthur knew wha it meant, yelling at everyone to leave immediately. With just her index finger, the blood in the sky obeyed her command as it rained down on Jimmy. The consecutive attack tore the building to pieces, drilling the very ground it touched. When the dust cleared, Jimmy body laid on the ground, he remained alive by transforming half of his body into blood itself.
When she descended down to him, Jimmy tried to use his blood but it only moved around her before making contact.
"Oh Jimmy. You forget who you're fighting." (Janet)

"And you... Forget who I am." (Jimmy)
"I'll see you again in a few centuries." (Janet)
He screamed up until the moment Janet placed her fingers on his forehead, and turned to nothing. When everyone came back, they found Janet smiling back at them.
Even though he didn't show his full power to us, he was clearly strong and yet... compared to her. (Chris)
"Is he... you know?" (Jorge)
"No Jorge. He isn't dead. Other than the former king, Jimmy is another vampire whose is almost impossible to kill. But It’ll probably take a few hundred years before he’s whole again." (Janet)
“You know who I am?" (Jorge)
Janet walked over to them, examining their wounds.
"Its seem my idiot underlings fought you guys regardless of knowing who you were. Don't worry, they'll be getting their just punishment later. Jorge I knew about you since you were just a kid. Lisa is my best friend after all. Which is why I'm also worried about what's happening over there." (Janet)
"Did you see the light?" (Arthur)
"I did. I can feel two power beings fighting as we speak." (Janet)
Flashes of light spread across the sky, as fire spread across the Chronicler domain. No one knew what was really going on, if everyone was even alive. Just when Chris was about to head out, she was stopped by Janet.
"You should stay here. Lisa will hate me if I didn't protect you guys." (Janet)
"My lady? You don't plan on going?" (Arthur)
"Of course she does. She's the only one who can." (Charlotte)
"I really don't want to but I got no choice. Once I restrain everyone here, I'll join the fight. Yes. Leave it to me." (Janet)
