Lestat The Lil Thief
Chapter 10
Me: sorry I forgot one little thing, the vampire that Lestat and Jade are has bright yellow eyes. A minor way of hypnotizing people with a stare, not as effective as their singing but it can cause a delay in opponents seeing the eyes.

Lestat next to Alpha smirks as he watches Jade spar against a lycan. Her travels back and forth in how fierce she attacks shows she is still trying to merge the vampire and human mind.
Lestat grins as he watches her suddenly duck a stabbing thrust of the wolfs claws, punch the lycan in the stomach.
Avoid a kick, and deliver a roundhouse kick to the lycans back. She pants as she watches the wolf go down, raising a hand to say hes done.
Very good Jade-chan. she turns to Lestat, Bats a weird thing just happened?
Lestats grin returns to his smirk as he tilts his head. Oh really, was it something along the lines of seeing your victory in your head before doing it physically?
At Jade confused look he continues, Knowledge vampires have an ability that is unlocked after they pass a threshold of intelligence Jade-chan. We become able to see how things will turn out if we have enough info about whom and what we are up against. Its what makes their plans so unbeatable.
How did you know that was what happened just now?
Because Jade-chan I was imagining myself fighting him in your place. Since youve been drinking my blood my fighting style has been merged into yours, mostly overriding. Since the style youre used to is fighting those of equal or greater strength, and mine is fighting those weaker, which everyone else now is. Sorry wolf.
Alpha shakes his head, no need to apologize vampire. Even Ill admit that the blood you got from your tousan has made you a lot stronger then we can hope to become. This is why it was a good decision to join you.
Lestat turns back to Jade as she speaks up. So you saw yourself beat him in the same manner I did?
Yes.
When did you start having visions?
After I drank my tousans blood.
All the fights weve been in since?
When I invaded section 13. The door opened, and in the time the agents had to be surprised I was a kid, Id already seen how I would get past them all. Same when I entered the hall you and your family were in. I had enough info on how each of you fought from tousans memories and the info on the computers I hacked into.
Jade nods, the wolf Jade had beaten finally gets up and receiving a nod from Alpha leaves.
When we fought Karl Nivor I didnt need to see because he wasnt a fighter, thats what his cook was for. Same with Dalon Wong, he used his dark chi warriors for combat, and those I just avoided until I got a clean shot on one. After that the others came easy because he became careless with them.
Lestat shrugs at this, Then we had a period where I didnt know anything about who we were fighting so no visions. The next one came the other night when we fought that hunter.
The vampire holds up three fingers and counts off, I had my brief fight with him, watched your shadow-khan fight him, and finally had mine fight him. All, combined with knowing how you evolved your fighting skills from the gauntlet let me know what you would do and thus what I should do.
Jades eyes widen in wonder about the new ability as Lestats widen as he thinks about the possibilities.
Just think Jade-chan how invincible in combat well be now. Fighting against a horde that we know how they fight, and we know how each other will fight. We could safely take on a hundred such foes, seeing the vision of them all being defeated before we actually do so. Such a vision would be
Lestat trails off briefly before turning to Alpha. Wolf Ive decided to put the criminal combat on hold for now, stick to local or at least instate crimes. Well be going after the powers soon. All I need to do is some scouting around New York to pinpoint where they all are.
Night
wearing his cape and straight black clothes again add in the yellow belt he acquired at the hero tournament with a few talismans on it, Lestat wonders around a part of New York.
He stops as he comes across a break in at a jewelry store. He looks in and shakes his head. Well Ill be. No wonder Jade-chan hasnt seen these guys in a while. Been in New York, away from the Chan group. Guess Ill burst their bubble about it being safe here.
He walks in and the three turn, whore you?
Lestat makes a show of throwing his cape back and bowing. My name is Bats, but you will call me Lestat.
Finn walks towards him, well little kids should just leave.
The other two go wide-eyed as Finn suddenly flies through the air. They look back at Lestat, Im a vampire. Dont underestimate me.
Scared the two grab their friends and attempt to run only for Lestat to appear before them. Now, now. Im not like Jackie-san; Ill not just let you run when you want to.
Chow and Ratso look at each other and gulp. Two simple punches to the head knocks both of them out. Raging Bull tramples little bat!
Lestat turns in time to see Hak Fu and back flips out of the way. Lestat listens as the large man continues to attack him, using the phrases the man shouts out to avoid his attacks.
Finally he sighs. You know Im getting tired of this. Hak Fu watches as Lestat reaches into his cape pocket and pulls out a cd player.
He puts the earplugs in and gestures to continue. Angry Hak Fu attacks, only for Lestats feet to begin dancing around as he continues to dodge with ease.
Finally Lestat retaliates, Im gonna knock you out! Hak Fu is spin kicked in the stomach.
Mama said knock you out! the large man is slammed to the ground by a hammer fist.
Im gonna knock you out! hes kicked back into the air.
Mama said knock you out! Lestat punches the side of his face sending him flying into a nearby display case, knocked out.
Lestat scoffs at the beaten warrior and leaves, turning off his player as he goes. He pauses again though when getting to a nearby gun store.
Hmm I could use a weapon besides a sword. he opens the door and walks in, looking at the displayed guns he walks around.
He stops when he comes across twin guns, snakes wrapping around the handle and forming the barrel of the pistols. He grins and cuts the glass, and picks them up, hmm silver.
He smirks and begins to sing softly to himself.
These are my friends.
See how they glisten, see this one shine.
How he smiles, in the night, my friend, my faithful friend.
Speak to me friend, whisper, Ill listen.
I know, I know youve been locked out of sight all these years, like me, my friend.
Well Ive come home, to find you waiting.
Home and were together, and well do wonders wont we.
Continuing to smirk he grabs several clips and boxes of ammo, leaving cash behind as he leaves. He fills the clips and loads the guns before placing them in his belt.
The vampire travels a decent distance before coming across a large group of people near a warehouse on the docks. He gets close and listens in.
These prices are outrageous. How do you believe we can sell these on the street to enough people and make a profit?
We are all suffering. Most of my suppliers have been taken out by the force thats been going around.
You mean the same one thats hit the Middle East and Africa?
Yes, it seems like some unknown power has a grudge against our business. The results of the attacks arent military like, more like some kind of animal.
That would be the wolves.
Everyone looks around before someone spots and points out Lestat. Whore you? And what do you mean?
Lestat grins, everyone takes a step back as they register his teeth and finally notice his eyes. Im a vampire, my friends are lycans, or werewolves if youre unfamiliar with the new age term in movies that has become popular.
The henchmen point their guns and opens fire, riddling Lestat with bullets. When they finish they become stunned as he calmly grabs his new weapons and points them.
Fools, allow me to speak a line from a vampire story. You are dogs! And a dog cannot kill me. The only ones to kill monsters are always humans. heh now go the way of Old Yeller.
The men try to scatter only for shadow khan to appear. The ninjas begin fighting those close to them as the ones near Lestat are quickly gunned down. He leaves the two who were talking left alive.
The two look at the massacre and shake in fear as Lestat approaches them. Alright I may or may not kill you depending on your answer. What do you know about vampires?
Only whats revealed in movies and books kid we dont know anything.
I beg to differ, its come to my attention that some vampires are in charge of most of these activates. We can not ingest anything but blood, so the normal way of drugs is ineffective to us. But drink the blood of someone whos used them will give us the same feeling. With out all the side effects of said drug.
I told you I dont know anything. All that happens is some guy appears and gives us information from time to time, we never see his face and all he asks for is the location of where were peddling.
Lestat snarls and shoots both before turning away. Blast, smart move. Wanting to remain hidden, it seems only occasionally or in matters where a normal human would ire on the method, do they take command directly. Instill fear in the workers by showing off so theyd do it.

A couple days pass, Lestat has traveled back to his base and is currently going over everything he learned with Alpha.
Jade, having left a few minutes ago, takes a corner and pauses. In front of Uncles store Jackie, Tohru, Uncle, Captain Black, and Viper are fighting against several people.
Jade makes to run over to help when shes stopped by a hand on her shoulder.
No little one, you must not run over. Jade looks up to see Stone, the knowledge vampire staring at the fight.
Those are some of Brons elite over there. You wouldnt stand a chance. Jade looks back over, fearful for her family.
Dont worry, theyll be used as hostages to get Bats to attack without a plan, or sooner then he planned to. If you try to help now and get captured, youd weaken his chances of victory. So stick to Batss plan.
Jade nods her head, and silently promising shed save them, runs back to Lestats to tell him whats going on.

Thus
Lestat, Jade, and the pack of lycans are soon in New York facing a skyscraper. Alright, you all know the plan.
Jade and Alpha nod. Three kinds of shadow-khan appear and charge the army of vampires in front of the building. The pack, minus Alpha, charges as well.
The three main players weave their way through the massacre and enter the building. Lestat draws his guns immediately and begins firing at the ones in their way now.
Until they enter a room.
The vampires in this room all manage to avoid the bullets and close in. Jade ducks a swipe and drives her fist into the vampires chest, causing him to fly backwards.
Alpha blocks a kick and stabs his claws into his attackers stomach.
Lestat takes a more embarrassing route as he holsters his weapons and bringing a hand up calls out, Rat! a beam hits a vampire and turns him into a rat.
Said rat is quickly stepped on by one of his own friends as he charges.
Jade blocks another attack and jumping slams a fist into the vamps head, knocking him to the ground, where his head is smashed as she lands.
Just as Lestat knocks away the one fighting him their army pours in, causing the three to disengage and move on.
Soon they come to a door that has three vampires guarding it. Alight these will be the last three before the first.
Lestat summons the dark chi warriors and has them charge as he tosses some talismans to Jade and Alpha. The magical warriors are defeated as the three run towards their targets.

Alpha growls as his opponent smirks, wolf you know you dont stand a chance against us.
Try me. Alphas eyes glow and the pigs power comes out, surprising the vampire and knocking him into the wall. He quickly recovers though and moves to attack.
Only for the wolf to vanish in a burst of speed. Alpha runs by and slashes the vampires chest, he turns and slashes his back as well.
The vampire begins to be treated like a rag doll, bending this way then that as the wolf dashes back and forth constantly slashing at him. The vampire finally swings a hand and something flies from Alpha.
The wolf returns to normal speed and turns to growl at the vampire again. You bastard. the blood sucker raises an eyebrow then looks towards the object to see a talisman.
Oh is that how you were moving that fast. A magical artifact. he quickly runs over and grips it, only to fall down.
Alpha walks over and bends down, taking the talisman out of his hand. A sheep clearly painted on the magic rock.
Alpha chuckles, yes it was magic that enabled me to move that fast but it wasnt this one. Alpha fully transforms and bites at the vampires neck.
123456
Jade blocks a strike and, continuing forward, jumps to slam her knee into the female vampires face.
She lands and kicks her in the side, sending her sliding across the floor. She follows and, as the power stands up, a blast of energy, from the dragon, explodes in her face.
The power shoos the smoke away and looks around in confusion. Suddenly she bends over, grabbing her stomach, then flies upwards into the air. Something hits her in the air and she slams into the ground.
Where are you? Jade appears and reveals the snake talisman. Its magic, and its a blast! the dragon explodes again, Jade enhancing it with the ox talisman.
The power groans as she hits the wall then the ground.
Jade walks over, the power throws a punch, only for Jade to catch it, then the other fist as it comes at her, the ox talisman on her belt begins to glow as her eyes turn a brighter yellow.
Now its time to end this. the female power grunts as Jade jumps and presses her feet into the others chest.
The power vampire cries out as her arms are torn from her body, she hits the wall again and slumps to the ground.
Pathetic. Jade smirks then looks over towards Lestat, her eyes quickly return to her normal shade.
She makes to go help then stops herself, remember Jade, part of the plan.
12345
Lestat, the dog and horse talismans on his yellow belt, dodges and strikes.
The power growls and strikes again, hitting him into a suit of armor. Lestat stands and places something on the suits fellow guard.
The second suit of armor comes to life, and at Lestats mention of vampire, attacks. Demon-spawn, I shall smite thee. the power, confused, dodges a few swings of a sword before attacking and scattering the pieces of armor.
The power is kicked in the back of the head; he turns and swings the sword he had caught, hitting Lestat and causing him to hit the wall again.
Lestat grins as the dog softly glows, you know youll never defeat me.
What makes you say that? Lestat points at the horse, this is magic. It heals wounds, so as long as I have this you may hurt me but the pain will quickly go away and Ill be good as new.
The power growls and charges again. Lestat doesnt attempt anything now, just letting his opponent hit him again and again.
The dog talisman continues to glow, lending its unlimited source of energy to its wielder. The power vampire begins to tire as he has attacked nonstop for a while now, angry he backhands Lestat near the talismans.
Lestats quick hands detach the horse and drop it at his enemys feet as he lets himself be pushed backwards a couple of feet.
The power smiles as he bends down to pick up the talisman. Now you do not have it, and I will use it to heal my fatigue then kill you.
Lestat darkly smirks as the talisman is activated, immediately the vampire cries out and drops the talisman.
His hair turns grey then white, his skin quickly wrinkles then, as he falls over, disappears leaving only bones.
Too bad I lied. That would actually heal vampirism as its not your normal state and then, since your past your normal life span, your age catches up to you. Unless you had the dog when you did that. Then youd be a normal human once again.
Lestat turns to the other two and recollects the talismans. The three turn to the door to the room with Bron the first power, and Lestats father.

Im sorry I couldnt give the three stooges a bigger role but I realized that they would run upon finding out what he was. And for Hak Fu I cant really think of too many things I could make him say without taking lines straight from the show, thus making him a bit predicable to Lestat as hed have Jades memories of him.
By the way the first song was Mama Said Knock You Out from the movie Kangaroo Jack in Vegas, I only wanted to use the chorus. Didnt want too much song here. And the second is These Are My Friends from the Sweeny Todd movie. There are a couple more songs from Sweeny Todd Ill probably use later, maybe even the full version of the one here. They are good dark songs, which fits the style that Lestat listens to. Thank you all for reading.
