Knights Volume 1

Chapter 9 the vampire Knights

Zane, Nasho, Neva, and Tuka, look to Darius, Gregor, Markavo, and Sirena. Morning has arrived.

"It won't be long before Azriel finds out the group has the stones. I think it would be smart that we split up and meet at the locations we'd decided on in order to contact one another. We all have codes for different things." Tuka explains.

Markavo nods adding. "Every single one of us knows these codes, and we've all been given the resources to keep the enemy from finding out what we know in the event that one of our groups is captured. We'll all meet at the dragon stone ruins."

Gregor nods saying. "Because of the tensions between Darius and Tuka Darius will be accompanying our group along the way."

Zane hugs both his parents saying. "I'll do my best to keep in contact."

"Don't worry, i know we'll see you again." Sirena replies with an assuring smile.

Nevaru smiles saying. "And don't worry. We'll make sure to kick ass along the way."

Nasho looks around saying. "I made a promis to Nickolis that if the honor vampires once went by was destroyed by Azriel Hannible that i would find the peace bringer that the elder among the ender species had spoken of. With an understanding of the ruins we seek the Zane, and his friends will accompany me to the ruins where the portal to my home dimension is located. We need to see if Tanola knows of any other ways to end Azriel Hannible."

"It's a dangerous road out there. But we've all seen what the dark forces are capable of... Be safe." Tuka explains.

With a nod Darius adds. "The group i'm with will be able to successfully hit more enemy targets with help from the VACC. The Huntress said she knows the location of a leader who once served as the leader of a clan that brought an end to the major threat."

The two groups nod and part ways. As Nasho's group walks Tuka looks to Zane saying. "I can't believe we're the ones keeping the stones."

Nasho looks to the werewolf saying. "It was the werewolves who were given the balance stone. This was done as to make sure that Azriel would never be able to find the stone. You see, even with the power of all the stones one who is not of the Nethsur bloodline needs the balance stone in order to single handedly control all the stones. That is why Nickolis trusted me with hiding the stones away... At least thats what was planned until Hannible captured me and forced me to use humans to find the stones for him. I knew that something like that would happen so i had given the stone to the Silver hyde pack."

Tuka's eye's widen in shock. "Tha-thats my pack. I never knew that stone was given to us by a vampire. I always assumed we were given it to safe guard from vampires."

The Huntress nods and with a smirk says. "Your pack was given the stone to safe gaurd from vampires. But it was given to them by a vampire. All we need is to earn the respect of your pack in order to lead them to the temple ruins and open a portal to the End dimension."

The group continues the path Tuka leads them along. As they walk they begin to notice a school ruins come closer, and closer into view.

"Looks like it'd be a good place to stay for the night." Points out Neva as they stop looking at the old court.

With a smirk Tuka asks. "Think Vandom went to this school?"

"Maybe... I don't know. This building looks a little too old for even a vampire to have gone to. Michael... maybe." The Huntress replies.

Azriel makes himself known answering. "I thought I would find you heading for the Silver Hyde pack. Make this easy and give me the stones."

A girl with a baseball bat makes herself known with Mika. "Vicki here, and no you won't have the stone." She hits Azriel's in the face with the baseball bat. To which the cloaked figure makes itself known grabbing the bat. The metal turns to rust, then falls apart.

"The stones. Now!" Commands its demonic voice.

As the group is forced to take cover Zane looks to Mika asking. "How did you escape Hannible's prison?"

With a smirk Tuka opens. "Good to see we have a witch on our side. Maybe you can teach bone boy that its not nice to break the base teams equipment."

Vicki glares at Tuka saying. "Excuse me? This witch does not appreciate your pun Miss Tuka, Jk, that was epic, I can give my boyfriend Lucas some ideas."

Zane looks out watching as the cloaked figure turns to face the group. Its dark voice orders. "Give us the stones and the peace bringer. He must suffer before his death."

Neva looks to Nasho asking. "How do we kill that thing if-

-we can't touch it."

The Huntress nods explaining. "That demon seems to have a problem with showing its face when in combat. I assume that it has a problem with sheer light, be it moon or sun. Removing the cloak should bring an end to our current threat."

Vicki raises an eyebrow and looks to the Huntress asking Zane. "Why do you have an enemy working for you?"

With a nod the guy explains. "Listen we have to deal with Mr, bone, dark, and gloomy. I'll explain later." Vicki facepalms. "As if the puns couldn't get worse, well, I guess you could say I'm blown away by a Dust Devil, and Oh My God, I'm sounding like Lucas now!!"

Shaking her head Tuka assumes her werewolf form and charges the cloaked figure. As she speeds around the thing dodging every attack from the skeletal figure she notices that the cloak has a rip in it.

She sprints back over to the group saying. "There's a rip in the cloak. Zane if you get close enough you can rip at least the hood off."

"The rest of us will provide you cover long enough to get you close enough to deal the finishing blow." Nasho explains.

The group steps out into the opening. The figure turns and fires beams of dark energy. The Huntress meets this dark energy with pure energy. Zane rips the cloak off revealing the figure to be a wither skeleton. The thing gives out a demonic screech and turns to dust.

"Vampires turn into wither skeletons when they die?" Asks Neva.

Tuka signs no answering. "That one came from hell."

"The real question is 'how did it escape from hell'?" Questions Nasho.
