The waves slowly crashed against the beach shore, sending a cold mist into the air.

"Sebastian you say?" Ryuga asked, "Who is this Sebastian you speak of?"

"Oh, it's nothing... You just look a lot like a friend of mine," Reinhard replied.

"Oh really?" Ryuga placed his thumb on his lip, slowly biting the nail as he began to think, 'If it's someone that looks like me, then it must be him... looks like I won't have to search the globe after all,' he chuckled as the thought ran through his head, then he said to Reinhard, "Do you mind taking to this Sebastian... I'm a distant relative and I would love to see-"

"LIAR!"

Ryuga was cut off by Reinhard's statement, "Sebastian's family was murdered... Every last member except him, so unless you are able to provide me with proof," his teeth slowly began to sharpen, "You aren't even allowed to speak his name without my doubt."

"Come on, aren't my looks proof enough?" Ryuga asked with a smirk on his face.

"Nice try, but that could just be a coincidence, plus.. even if I wanted to, I couldn't take you to where he is, because I am clueless when it comes on to his whereabouts," Reinhard replied.

The smirk on Ryuga's face reappeared, "And you call me the liar," he allowed his eyes to focus on Reinhard's image for a while, "You know exactly where he is."

Reinhard facepalmed himself while chuckling, "First you demand for me to do your bidding, then you accuse me of lying? Gosh you're really pushing your luck today," Reinhard's red aura began showing itself as his nails grew to a satisfactory length, but then he took a deep breath, "I'm just gonna try to not let someone by the likes of you get on my bad side," the aura submerged as his teeth and nails revert to their normal size.

"Likes of me?" Ryuga asked, "Says the mut."

A burst of red aura escaped Reinhard's body once more as he speedily took Ryuga by the throat, "You have no right to speak of my people like that!" Reinhard held his neck tighter, with his mind filled with nothing but rage.

Ryuga laughed, "You fool, you're just making this easier for me," blood began to run from the corner of his lip.

As confused as Reinhard was, he kept his grip on Ryuga's neck.

Ryuga looked into his eyes and slowly whispered, "You are now under my control."


Chase laughed at Corneillia's statement, "Release him she says," the laughter stopped, "And what exactly are you gonna do if I don't?"

Items in the room scattered randomly as Chase took hold of various parts of his body due to pain.

"H... How in the world are you able to," he began, but he was unable to continue due to a blow he received in the stomach.

While rising, Chase smirked as blood gushed out of his mouth, "You won't get away that easily."

Right before Corneillia's image fluctuated again, he directed a knife to go right in front of him, making it go deep into Corneillia's leg.

"Aghhh!!!" she yelled, taking hold of her wound.

Chase kicked her over, making a bruise appear on her lip.

As tears filled her eyes, she looked up at Chase who was dying of laughter.

She forced herself off the ground, severely vibrating her leg, making the knife phase through and her wound heal almost instantly.

Chase stopped laughing and smiled at the newly recovered Corneillia, "If that's how you wanna have it, then fine... let's play."

All metallic objects in the room soared after Corneillia but each flew right through her as she slowly advanced.

Chase, being frustrated, began sending objects in random places, causing one to graze Sebastian's cheek.

Seeing the cut on Sebastian's face, Corneillia picked up speed, hitting Chase each time she avoided an item. Shortly after, she kicked Chase into the nearest wall while receiving a blow to her right arm. The object fell through her skin as the wound began to heal.

'Why is she behaving like this?' Sebastian asked himself.

Corneillia darted towards Chase, sending him flying into multiple areas of the room as from time to time she received blows from the objects flying through the air.

'Why? Why? Why' Sebastian asked.

There was a point in time where Corneillia fell to her knees, but ended up getting up once again with obvious signs of exhaustion.

In that short time, Sebastian finally grasped what was going on, there was once a book he read once, speaking of a vampire's 'Aggressor mode'.

'Aggressor mode is the most powerful, yet the deadliest form a vampire could ever take,' he remembered. 'A normal vampire has three phases that they can enter, which are the Simplicity Phase, Active Phase and Aggressor Mode. The Simplicity Phase is when a vampire is in it's regular state of mind, the black blood cells are inactive which only gives the vampire small amounts of advanced properties over humans. The Active Phase is when the black blood cells become active, making their eyes become red, giving them access to their specialized ability. The Aggressor Mode is rare among the vampire race and is usually activated when their is an emotional disturbance in the vampire causing them to 'snap'. This phase unlocks the full potential of a vampire's ability for it overworks each and every one of the black blood cells, making them create a large amount of hormones rather quickly. Although the 'Aggressor Mode' seems like a blessing so far, if the user is to be in aggressor mod for too long, they will die for over-working each cell, slowly kills them off. One of the only known ways to release a vampire from Aggressor Mode is to..' Sebastian's memory hazed after that.

As much as he tried to remember, he couldn't, he couldn't remember because he didn't read the next page which continued the sentence.

Corneillia was sweating all over, but even so, she was still moving very quickly. Chase was now severely bruised but he still held his ground, trying his best not to die.

"Corneillia Stop!" Sebastian yelled, but it did nothing, for she continued without slowing down.

With his heart racing, Sebastian shuffled his arms furiously in the handcuffs he was held by.

He thought hard on what the cure to Aggressor Mode could've been, and came across something that might reverse the effect, but he only had one shot or else she might die.

He manipulated the shadows in the room in order to cut the cuffs on his hand then took a deep breath and yelled, "Corneillia I love you!!!" but it was already too late for she was faced down on the cold, hard ground.
