Hi everyone! This is SaturnXK and rinfan595~!

SaturnXK: Okay people, let me make this clear. I. Do. Not. Like. Twilight. In. Any. Way. I am simply co-writing this story because it seemed fun, got it (rinfan595 also somehow persuaded me into writing this)? Don't mistake me for a Twihard or you'll soon wonder why you're dangling upside-down over a huge pot of bubbling oil with me cackling in the background.

Rinfan595: OK. Let's get this straight. I DO NOT LIKE TWILIGHT THAT MUCH. Some parts are alright and the majority ok not so much. I just wanted a clash of cultures and backgrounds. So enjoy and thanks a bunch to Saturn XK _ (round of applause) ok ok ok ok I know what you're thinking SHUT UP AND LET US READ THE STORY! So here it is. BTW I'm with Saturn on the whole Dangle you over a boiling pit of oil and then eating you alive and then feeding you to ... (insert worst nightmare). ENJOY!

1. Warning

The air was dank and still, dust motes swirled lazily in the air, illuminated by the weak sunlight glimmering in through the windows. The room appeared empty, filled with only cold stone statures, until one of them moved.

Bright, gleaming, cat-like eyes peered critically at the three figures before her. She shifted her weight, one foot over to the other, and the sound echoed dismally in the large space. Other than that, all was quiet, everything was still.

"Are you sure, my dear?"

The voice was cold, yet it was amused in a childish way. It was smooth, lethal, snaking through the air like poison and it wrapped itself around the small figure, tightening its hold.

"Of course."

The figure's voice was high, cool and decidedly feminine. Spiky black hair encased her head, pale skin, flawless, perfect, beautiful… dangerous.

Alice raised her head a little higher, staring at Aro straight in the eye. Caius sniffed at her lack of respect, but Marcus did nothing, said nothing, and merely gazed at her with a look of boredom.

Aro sighed and rubbed his temples. "What a mess, what a mess," he murmured. "What are we to do?"

"You must request outside help," Alice insisted. Aro raised an eyebrow.

"What outside help?" he asked, bemused. "I do not know of any outside help."

Alice's eyes flashed, but she kept her composure. "In my vision," she said slowly, trying to make them understand, "I saw strange things. Monsters. They were not human." Alice paused. "They reminded me of newborns."

"Tch," Caius sneered. "Your visions are just that: visions! They may change, they are not concrete."

"And they may come true," Alice said quietly. She turned her face towards Aro. "You have to do something. The man leading them… he is stronger than you three… and he's got nothing, absolutely nothing, to lose."

"I know what they are," Aro said simply. "I know who that man is."

Alice's eyes widened. "Then –"

"I will send for help," Aro said, cutting across her. He grimaced. "It pains me to beg for aid like a common peasant, though. But, as you say, this cannot be dealt with alone, particularly because those creatures are not even our kind. It is hard for us to lay a hand on them."

"What are they?" Alice asked.

"You'll see," Aro said. He then smirked faintly at Alice. "Say, little one, why have you come here alone today?"

"It was… urgent," Alice said, choosing her words carefully. "Moreover, I didn't want to worry my family. It's… complicated, and I was in the area, anyhow."

"Well, since you are here, I will ask again," Aro said. "Will you join us? Your talents will not be wasted here."

Alice sighed. "I will have to decline the offer, Aro."

Aro leaned back on his chair, disappoint written across his face. "Ah well." He pressed his lips together. "Help will come in one week. Be prepared. They will be staying with you, as I don't really approve of them." He wrinkled his nose.

Alice opened her mouth, probably to question exactly what kind of help they were receiving, but then closed it, thinking better of it.

She bowed, and backed slowly out of the room, her eyes never leaving the frozen forms of Alec and Jane.

"Alice?"

Jasper appeared out of the darkness like a silent ghost, yellow orbs searching his beloved face carefully. He frowned when he saw that it was wiped clean of emotion, and he held out a hand. Alice took it, and squeezed it gently.

"We have to get back to the others," Alice said. "Important news. I'm sorry to cut this holiday short."

Jasper nodded, not asking any questions, and the two of them leapt away into the night.

"Alice!" Esme said in surprise when her daughter appeared in the hallway. "Jasper! What are you doing here so early? I thought you were staying in Italy for another week!"

"Long story, Esme," Alice said softly. "I need t explain to everyone else as well. Where are they?"

"Here."

The six other vampires, or rather, five vampires and one half-blood, appeared in the kitchen, curious expressions adorning their faces. Alice held up a hand to stop the flood of questions.

"I had a vision a few days ago," Alice said, ignoring the sound of shock from Edward's mouth as he read her thoughts. "It showed a man, I think he was called Ridou, and all these other monsters that remind me of newborns. They showed him invading North America, and he seemed to be… preparing for something."

She frowned, trying to make sense of the memories. "I went to the Volturi, and they told me that they would be sending help. From where, I don't know. But this Ridou man and his army were made out to be more powerful than the Volturi, or at least equal to them."

"Are they newborns?" Carlisle asked. Alice shook her head.

"Aro said that they were not our kind," she murmured, "but they were similar."

"What did Ridou look like?" Rosalie said.

"Brown hair, almost to his shoulders. Red eyes, pale skin," Alice bit her lip. "He actually looked like one of us. He looked like a vampire."

"Do you think we'll need to enlist the help of the other vampires?" Bella asked. By 'others' she meant the covens that had come to help Renesmee with the Volturi five months previously.

"Not yet," Alice said.

"So there's going to be a fight?" Emmett said eagerly. Renesmee rolled her eyes at her uncle's lack of worry.

"Yes."

Aro sat on his throne, his mind whirring with a thousand questions, a blank sheet of paper in his hand. Finally, he picked up his pen, and began to write.

Dear Lord and Lady Kuran,

It has come to my attention that…

A few seconds later, Aro stared at the letter he had written, and wrote the last sentence with a flourish and a small, sadistic smile. This was the sentence that would decide the fate of two vastly different, and yet very comparable worlds. With this, the two races would merge together, create allies and enemies, and determine the future of vampires and Vampire Knights alike.

I hope you can come.

Okie-dokie. Things you need to know:

This is set five or so months after 'Breaking Dawn'. Renesmee – I hate writing her name – is here; she's… what? Ten? Fifteen years old? Bella is, obviously, a vampire.

The Japanese vampires will be called Vampire Knights, with capitals letters. Twilight vampires will be called vampires.

SaturnXK: I bid you all goodbye, and I hope to see you guys again for the next chapter ;D Feel free to point out any plot holes (there are many; this is a crossover, after all, so just pick out the ones which are fixable) and I'll tell you if we're going to fill them up later on.

Rinfan595: OK so there you have it btw reviews and questions are always welcome ! another huge thank you to SaturnXK and all of her marvellous work and of giving up part of her holidays to work on this with me. NEXT UP: Kaname receives the letter...
