Out in the wilderness of Australia shadows converge and three people step out of them, two males and one female.
The first male, Lestat, looks to be about 17 years old, about 5 foot 9, he has slick black hair, yellow eyes, and is wearing black sweats with green flames extending from the sides.
The young woman, Jade, 5 foot 7 standing next to Lestat looks to be the same age as him. Her black hair reaches her hips, her yellow eyes match his, she wears a red t-shirt with a black long sleeve shirt under it. The long sleeves are have flames on them like the male's, blue jeans and black sneakers finish her look.
The second male, Alpha, stands at 6 foot 5, he has brown wild hair, green eyes, a dark green shirt and brown shorts.
Alpha is the first to speak, "So where to from here vampire?"
Lestat glances up at him. "This area is where the Cerberus is supposed to be, we just need to find it's exact location. Smell around, should be easy to find."
Jade smiles, "It would be cool if we could get it as a pet. I miss Scruffy."
Lestat hugs her, "Don't worry Jade-chan. We'll do our best to tame this thing, I am Bats Lestat after all. If anyone can come up with a way to tame a Cerberus it'll be me."
The taller man chuckles at the two before his face changes into that of a wolf's. He sniffs around then begins to walk in a direction, with Lestat and Jade following him.
Alpha leads them to a large plateau that has a cave on the side of it, and the three enter and begin searching. The darkness inside does nothing to hamper their search.
After searching for several minutes a growl is heard and they jump out of the way as a dog twice the size of a human, with three heads, lands on their previous location.
Shadow khan appear and begin to tussle with it, the three heads growling and snapping at anything getting close to them. Lestat watches and studies the creature as it attacks them, Jade smiles as she begins to imagine showing her new dog off after Lestat has deemed it safe. Alpha merely tilts his in wonder as to how a canine creature with three heads could operate.
After a couple minutes, Lestat gives a signal and Alpha fully changes, then lunges at the dog, managing to get on it's back from the distraction.
Lestat and Jade dash forward, Jade dodging another paw as the dog bucks attempting to knock the lycan off. The heads on the sides receive an uppercut from the two vampires.
The dog flips and lands on it's back, Lestat jumps and lands on it's chest, Jade using the ox to hold down one side, Alpha and several samurai shadow khan helping on the other.
The three heads snap at the vampire as it struggles. Lestat tilts his head at the heads as they growl at him. He raises his head as he picks up some noise coming from further in. He then raises his cape and lets his pet out instructing it to explore further in.
The vampire turns and growls at the large dog as it's struggle increases. Lestat soon finds out why as the bat returns and reports in, Jade looking up in surprise.
"But how could it have a pup? I thought there was only one Cerberus, where could it find a mate?"
The bat returns to Lestat's cape as he frowns, "I'm not sure Jade-chan. Not a whole lot is known about Cerberus even by other creatures. They are voracious, and not too many who found it would survive to tell the tale. We only succeeded because of the shadow khan and talismans, so how there could be more then one and thus have a mate is interesting. There is also the interesting fact that this is the only one here besides the pup, weird behavior in a dog like creature."
Alpha nods his agreement to this statement, being a canine-like creature himself.

Near a graveyard in Russia another Trio emerge from some shadows.
These three appear about 13 years old, again there are two males and one female. The two males are the same height around 4 foot 8.
Both have yellow eyes. But the similarities with them end with their faces.
One twin wears a regular black t-shirt, and blue jeans, his black hair is slick just like Bats'.
The other twin has more muscles on him, and is wearing a black muscle shirt and black jeans, his black hair is spiked.
The girl with them, one inch shorter, has medium length red hair, a green shirt and skirt, she also carries a pink backpack with her.
"Eric what's the plan?" The boy, Eric, in the t-shirt glances at the girl and looks out over the graveyard, glaring at the zombies and skeletons walking about.
"We'll have to fight our way through the ranks and find the Necromancer. I want you and Michael to be the main attack force, with your shadow khan and mine helping I'll be able to appraise the worth of this magic user by how skilled their minions are."
The girl grins, revealing sharp teeth. "Oh this'll be fun then. One sec though ok."
The two boys watch as she dashes behind a tree. A minute later a large lycan steps back out from the tree, tossing a pink backpack into the branches.
The large wolf then looks at them and speaks in a gruff but female voice, "There, I'm all set to go now."
Eric raises an eyebrow and turns to his brother. "Wonder why Enna has a sense of decency when the rest of her pack doesn't."
Michael shrugs, "Don't know brother."
Enna growls at the two causing Michael to raise his hands and chuckle nervously, Eric just raises an eyebrow. "Anyway, begin."
Shaking her head Enna charges into the graveyard with Michael, Eric following behind them. Shadows appear and out of them form the flying shadow khan, the sumo shadow khan, and the razor shadow khan.
The Sumo type stay close to Eric and crush any of the undead that get close to him as he constantly looks around.
Enna occasionally leaps onto a flier in order to take to the air and drop back down to the ground in the middle of a group of enemies.
Michael laughs as he pulls out two small swords and cuts through his prey in the same manner as the Razors.
Eric and Michael look in the same direction as a roar of sorts is heard. Enna cries out, "By the full moon!" then yells as she is flung into the air.
Michael quickly puts his swords away and jumps back to catch her, getting knocked to the ground. "Enna what happened?"
Eric answers for her, pointing. "I think that did brother." A large zombie with one large arm and one small one charges into the area they are in, running over any Razors in front of it and waving it's large arm around to hit the fliers.
"I think our Necromancer is taking ideas from games." Michael growls at his brother's comment and the fact the zombie had hurt Enna. He stands, drawing his swords again, Enna shakes her head and stands as well.
Hearing something Eric turns and draws a pistol, shooting a smaller zombie. The zombie having leapt at him, upon being shot it flips in the air and passes him. "Lets just hope the target has not made any Tanks."
Michael shudders then charges at the Charger, Enna following behind him.
Elsewhere in the graveyard a pale female teenager about 14 dressed in a black dress, looks up upon hearing the roar of the Charger.
Spotting the flying shadow khan from where she is she frowns. "I'm not ready for a battle of any kind. And what are those anyway?"
Hearing a howl from Enna, the girl scowls, "A werewolf or lycan. But again what kinda allies does it have?"
She turns to a group of zombies close to her. "Go take care of the intruders."
All but one of the zombies begin to leave, the last one is bigger then any of the others. "You'll stay and defend me if they make it here." She turns and opens a book to look through it.
Back with the creatures of the night, they have managed to defeat the Charger when suddenly a green ball hits a Sumo khan, a long tongue grabs a flying one, and another Charger comes out from behind a tomb.
"I think we've been discovered."
Eric looks at his brother, "You think Michael. It's not like it's obvious as the first found us by accident but these are attacking in groups now."
The fight becomes tougher as Eric has to actively shoot and dodge attacks now, more jocks jumping at him. Enna charges the Smoker that has one of her shadow khan tied up, some of the normal zombies and skeletons attempting to attack it.
Michael distracts the new charger by slashing at it and dodging it's arm.
(later)
Michael and Enna pant, out of breathe, after charging into the clearing where the female necromancer is. Michael blinks confused at the large zombie standing between them and her.
"What is that? That's not a Left 4 Dead zombie." The zombie in question standing at 7 feet tall and is wearing a large straight jacket.
The necromancer scoffs at Michael's question, "I'd be a fool to just use one game's zombies. You seem to know that game but not this one, I am Mara the Necromancer. The practice has been passed down in my family for generations and I will make the world remember us."
She commands the zombie to attack and it charges. Michael and Enna strike only to be knocked aside, they continue to attack only to see their strikes bouncing off of the zombie.
Mara grins at seeing them fail at fighting her creation, she tenses though as she's grabbed from behind and a gun is put against her head. "Hey, caught you off guard did I?"
Her eyes widen, "There were two vampires and one lycan?"
"Very good, now then you call off that Ram or I'll shoot." Mara's eyes shift in an attempt to see behind her.
"You know what it is?"
"My brother isn't into zombie games as much as me. Anything to learn more about anything."
Mara smirks, then raises her hand, the large undead stops kicking at Michael and Enna. "Hmm I'd guess then you're a knowledge type. Your brother seems to be more of a power type. Interesting to come across."
"Actually we're both, our older brother turned us, and he was both. I've taken to the knowledge side more though, and he chose the power side so we'd be different for once."
Mara nods her head, "Guess I'll have to rebuild."
Eric tilts his head, "What do you mean? We are here to stop you."
The necromancer shakes her head, "But if you were going to kill me, then you would have then helped them. Not command me to stop the attack."
"My brother is searching for those who want to join him. He may have taken over the Underworld but the world still needs to be cleaned up a good deal. Never minding those who may want to kill him and take his spot."
Mara raises an eyebrow, "So you are here to scout me, and if I decline then kill me. And joining your brother would mean standing between him and anyone else."
"Kinda, he wouldn't send anyone out to do anything he wouldn't do himself. He'd have come here himself but felt we could handle it, while he tackled a tougher creature."
Mara nods her head, "I don't suppose there is a rain check on my decision. I would want to see if you guys would be good allies as well. You defeated my army here, but I can see so many mistakes my army made and can fix. Let me go, I'll raise another army and when you find me again."
"We beat that improved army and you'll be able to make your choice. Very well, we can do that, you going to include any other types. Noticed you didn't have Boomers, Thugs, Butchers, Floaters and others."
Mara giggles, "Didn't find any bodies for Boomers or Floaters, would only make one of the two after all. Thugs I find useless just slightly tougher zombies, Butchers I would love, takes some skill I'm still developing to make the arms."
Eric nods and steps away, holstering his gun. Mara turns to look at him and smiles, "well now. Aren't you and your twin the cute ones."
She blinks as Enna steps forward and growls, Michael nervously chuckling. "Flirting with me would be fine, Mara, Michael on the other hand already has a girl laying claim to him. Lycan instincts and all, don't get on their wrong side. Which means I had made the smart decision to be smart, over the past couple years Michael had been forced to watch the lycan females his age fight each other over him as he got stronger. Enna there was the winner."
Enna grins at Eric in thanks then grabs and hugs Michael possessively. The other two begin to laugh at them.

At a mansion, surrounded by trees, a few miles from San Francisco, shadows converge and Eric, Michael, and Enna emerge.
The first thing they see is a large Cerberus chained to the ground and whimpering slightly, Lestat, Jade, and Alpha are standing in front of it.
"Big brother you really did capture the Cerberus." Lestat turns to them and smirks, "I did. What about your mission?"
Enna approaches Alpha and takes a semi submissive pose. Alpha chuckles slightly, "Enna you're my daughter, you don't need to submit to me."
Enna grins back at him, Eric shakes his head. "The Necromancer passed the evaluation. But she feels we have not passed her's as her army was full of defects. She says she'll fix the mistakes then challenge us again. We beat them and she'll be in."
Lestat raises an eyebrow then chuckles. "Sounds like a very valuable ally then. It has taken a few years but with the help of the allies we're gathering, my reign shall not end and the Earth shall see the lowest crime rates, and fastest development it hasn't seen in some time now."
