Fireflies II

Chapter Nine

Nikki laid in bed next to Ashley both sleeping soundly. Suddenly an alarm went off on Nikki's phone waking her up. Moaning a bit she rolled over and grabbed her phone. Looking at it she squinted her eyes from the bright light of her phone. Her eyes adjusted to see it was only two in the morning. She sighed at seeing this wondering, which alarm was set for that time. Looking at her screen she saw it wasn't an alarm to wake up but instead for security. She sat up making Ashley wake up. Looking at her phone she saw someone had broken into their warehouse. The warehouse with all of their equipment.

"What is it?" Ashley asked in a groggy voice.

"Wake Drake and Summer. Someone is in our warehouse" she said getting up. She looked as Ashley nodded and went to wake her brother and sister. Walking over to the closet she grabbed her vest and Cale's old M-4. Cocking the action she turned and walked out of the room.

Nikki slammed up against a wall next to a door and looked over as Drake came up behind her. They looked as Ashley and Summer were opposite of them looking at them. Nikki held up her fingers and started to count backwards from three. Once she hit one she opened the door slowly. Walking in their guns were up and slowly they walked into the darkened warehouse. They looked around to see no one in the immediate area. They flipped their flashlights on and looked around.

"Okay, we know you are in here, come out slowly with your hands up and we won't shoot you" Drake said into the darkness.

There was a clatter nearby making them turn their guns to see a raccoon scurrying away. They all breathed out a sigh knowing that the alarm had been tripped by an animal. They each traded glances at one another all chuckling a bit as they watched the small animal leave. Suddenly an oil pan fell over causing them all to jump in shock. They looked and saw nothing and so Nikki nodded to Drake who nodded back. Slowly he walked over and saw nothing. "Must be another coon" he said preparing to turn back. However out of the darkness a pistol came up and was placed to his head making him freeze.

"Drake come on let's go they'll find their own way out" Nikki said watching as Drake continued to not move. "Drake?"

"You are slipping" a voice said from the darkness as Drake started to move backwards towards the group. Their guns went up, waiting for Drake to move. Nikki looked forward watching as Drake stopped at the edge of the table. She could see the very edges of the man.

The lights didn't illuminate the man's face and so Drake continued to look at his shadow. However his eyes caught something, his right forearm that held onto the pistol. He saw the blade of a scythe tattooed there. "Nikki, turn on the lights" he said looking to the man.

"What?" She asked confused.

"Just do it" he said continuing to stare at the man.

Nikki turned and bolted over to a fuse box switch. Opening the fuse box she flipped it on turning on the lights. They each slowly kicked on slowly flooding the warehouse with light. Spinning around she snapped her gun up and prepared for the standoff. However once the lights kicked on the gun fell from her hands. Her eyes wide, tears started to stray from her eyes. Unable to stand on her feet anymore she fell to her knees when she saw who was holding the pistol. To hers and everyone else's surprise Cale stood there holding the pistol. He lowered the pistol and tossed it onto the work bench. He looked around at everyone as they all stared at him.

"I'm not alone" he said motioning behind them.

Nikki looked at him before slowly following his gaze. She turned around slowly and froze in place. Her jaw went slack as a soft whine escaped her lips as her eyes fell onto a woman. She saw both Drake and Summer run past her and throw their arms around her. Nikki unable to move stayed kneeling on the floor. Slowly she became aware of a presence next to her. Looking up she looked to see Cale kneel next to her. He looked at her and offered a warm smile one she knew all to well. Reaching up she touched his cheek and she sobbed more. Throwing her arms around him she cried uncontrollably.

"How are you here, how are you two here?" Nikki wailed out as she hugged Cale tightly. He pulled her back to her feet and turned her to face the woman. "Mom" she cried out as she hugged the woman.

"We were brought back to life by some guy. I don't know who the fuck he was" Cale said with a grumble as he waved his hand around.

Drake looked at him before walking back over to the work bench. Grabbing the pistol he walked over to a desk and took a suppressor off of it. Turning around he shot Cale in the chest with it making everyone jump back in shock. They all looked to see the wound in his chest wasn't bleeding. This caused Nikki, Ashley, Summer, and Drake to all look at one another.

"What, what do you guys know?" Cale asked watching as his wound healed up.

Tori walked into the medical office with Andre and Jade. They walked past the receptionist who was surprised to see her. Walking into the physical therapy room she looked around to see a few patients, all of whom were human. The lead doctor looked up and saw her. Her face was shocked at first and then turned to one of happiness. The doctor walked over to her and smiled.

"I had feared the worst when you didn't return" she said looking at Tori who offered a saddened look.

"I hit a low point, I forgot who I was" Tori replied softly. "Two months in a Were-Vamp facility made me realize what my true fate was" she finished looking up to the woman.

"What is it?" The doctor asked with a smile.

"I am one Pure of Heart, and leader of the City Stalkers clan" Tori said making the woman smile brightly.

"Please, you three follow me" she said turning around. As she walked she motioned a nurse to follow her. They walked through a door passing exam rooms where patients sat. They walked towards a room for the employees of the building. Walking in they were out of site of all humans except Andre. Turning she looked at Tori. "Kneel" she ordered looking at her. Tori did as commanded and kneeled before the woman. She looked up as the woman's claw extended from her index finger. She cut her palm with the claw and then dipped her thumb into the blood. She then placed a thumbprint of blood on Tori's forehead before moving a line of blood down the bridge of her nose. "In front of these witnesses, I now name you clan leader of the City Stalkers" the nurse said watching as Tori nodded. "Arise clan leader" she said to Tori.

Tori stood up and looked around at everyone who smiled at her. The nurse and doctor both bowed to her. Looking down to her hands she smiled a bit as she curled them into fist.

"What are your wishes clan leader?" The doctor asked looking up to her.

"Rally the clan, there is a darkness coming to LA" she said looking at the doctor.

Outskirts of San Antonio Texas.

A military base on the outskirts of San Antonio buzzed with activity. Soldiers moved around working on vehicles and testing equipment. Others ran drills working on different weapons and tactics. These were a branch of special forces called Slayers. They were a government organization which were tasked with handling Immortals and all aspects of the Immortal world. For many years they had been tasked with eradicating werewolves and vampires unaware that there were other types of Immortals in the world. It wasn't until 2015 that they learned of the threats that once shared the planet with humans. Three years before that they turned their forces from eradication of werewolves and vampires to becoming protectors of humanity.

Inside the main building a brown haired woman sat at a desk. She looked down to some papers documenting recent massacres of vampires and their blood banks. Her right eye had a patch over it with a scar trailing over it. This was a wound she had received from a werewolf. One whom she had many run ins with but ultimately ended up working with her. There was a knock at her door making her look up. "Come" she called.

"Ma'am, there is a call for you on line one. Some woman from LA" the soldier said looking at her.

"Thank you" she said watching as the man saluted her. He walked out of the room leaving her alone. She looked to her phone and saw the button flashing. Reaching over she pressed the button before picking up the phone and placing it to her ear. "Jade West, I can honestly say I never expected to receive a call from you. I thought it'd be the other way around" she said leaning back into her chair.

"Hello Betty, I wish I was calling just to say 'hey', but I'm not" she heard Jade say on the other side of the phone.

"Good, cause that'd be boring, what do you need?" Betty asked with a chuckle as she looked out the window to see a helicopter fly by.

"There's a threat coming that we will need all hands on deck for" Jade answered without even so much as a hint of humor.

Hearing that made Betty arch an eyebrow. "Oh yeah, what kind of threat?" Betty asked looking to her fingers.

"One that makes San Francisco and Jelico look like a walk through the park" Jade said making Betty sit up slowly as the blood drained from her face.

Jade and Tori walked towards the warehouse that the Death Angels owned. They had gotten a call to get there as quickly as they could. The urgency in Nikki's voice disturbed them greatly. Tori opened the door to see Nikki waiting on them. They looked to see her face was stained with tears. Walking over to her they watched as she led them to a section of the warehouse. In it, they looked at several vehicles some of which had guns mounted on them. They looked to see Drake standing there next to Ashley Summer and Carmilla who had arrived just before them. They looked at them confused for a few seconds. They then took notice of a woman with long brown hair. She was standing against a truck. She looked at both Jade and Tori and offered them a kind smile.

"Jade, Tori, this is our mother Melissa" Nikki said walking up next to her.

"Your mother?" Tori stared confused. "I thought she was dead."

"Yes, I was but we were resurrected" she said looking at the two in front of her.

"'We'?" Jade asked looking at her.

Just then they heard steps coming from deep in the warehouse. They looked to see a figure walking towards them. Both women's eyes grew wide when they saw Cale step into the light. He was smiling at them at he crossed his arms. "Hey you two, did you miss me?" He asked watching as they both stared at him in disbelief.

"Cale... what... how are you here? I killed you" Jade said watching as he chuckled.

"Yeah, some guy with a black box brought us back to life" he said walking over to them. He watched as their hands reached out and touched him. Taking their hands in his he smiled. "I assure you, I am really here" he said smiling. "Also, no hard feelings Jade, I told you to do it after all."

"Wait you said some guy brought you back, can you describe him?" Tori asked watching as Melissa and Cale looked at one another.

"White hair, a white cape, tanned skin" Melissa said looking at them. Everyone traded glances as they shifted uncomfortably. "What?" She asked confused.

"Mom, that's Raischenzo, we were warned that he was coming. Which means he's in LA now" Summer said before looking around to everyone.

"Where's your father, why isn't he here?" Melissa asked watching as everyone tensed up more.

"Mom, I killed dad" Nikki spoke up in a sheepish tone causing Melissa to look at her.

"What, why?" She asked watching as everyone shifted awkwardly. "Answer me" she screamed at her daughter making her flinch a bit.

"Mom" Cale said causing her to look back at him. "Dad unleashed Jelico a dragon meant to control humanity. He used it to try to wipe out Immortals. Doing so he destroyed half of LA" he explained watching as Melissa just backed up a bit. "I was killed when I took control of the dragon from him and Jade..." he paused nodding towards the angel. "Killed me to stop the rampage."

"Why, why would he do that?" Melissa questioned looking down to the ground.

"He did it for you, he wanted revenge for your death" Jade said making Melissa look up to her.

Melissa breathed out a sigh. She rightened herself up and walked over to Jade. She looked at the angel who looked at her. Slowly she extended a hand to her making the angel arch an eyebrow. Slowly she took it and shook the woman's hand. She looked into her eyes and saw sincerity in them. "You did what you had too, you are a protector of humanity" Melissa said looking into her eyes.

Suddenly the entrance collapsed and a giant fur cover leg was there. They all looked up to see a giant grey wolf looking at them. It's amber eyes stared down at them. The wolf was nearly three stories tall. It let out a laugh making everyone trade confused looks. "You'll find that us wolf demons are nothing like our ancestors" Zun's voice came through the wolf. They all watched as he transformed back into his human state. Smiling he walked forward, the army of wolf demons following after him.

"You so fucked yourself Zun, you and your soldiers" Jade said pointing a finger at him as her wings spread wide. "We've been doing our homework" she quipped making Zun chuckle. She looked as Tori quickly entered her true lycan form with a roar. Her hands coming alive with her aura. Jade too started glowing as she was passed a pistol from Drake. She looked as the Death Angels prepared to fight, even Cale and Melissa picked up weapons. The small force stood against the massive army.

"Oh, please do show me what you learned" the wolf demon said with a chuckle as his claws started glowing with demonic energy.
