-Foreword-
Hi! This is my first fic on the mighty Fanfiction.net, so I hope you get some fun outta reading it. It's pretty rough and ready but it's the result of a 30 hour writing rush!
While Cry 'Havoc' And Let Loose The Dogs Of War is a Smallville fic, I crossed it over with Blade and Spawn (working from the movie versions of both characters) so a little knowledge of these dudes will be helpful. I've included a little background on Blade and Spawn folklore for the uninitiated Smallville fans.
At the time I wrote this Smallville season 2 had not aired on New Zealand television, but thanks to Dulce (known on FF.net as rainshower) I pretty much know what's gonna happen in it. Dulce and pretty much everyone I know on here have posted millions of fix so this is a mere pittance to make me feel a bit better.
If anything, I hope this story takes your mind off stuff for a little while. That's all I hope for when I write.
Thanks for reading.

-A Brief Introduction To Blade and Spawn-
When Eric Brooks mother was pregnant with him, she was attacked by a vampire. The attack forced her into premature labour and the doctors who treated her gave her a c-section to save the baby. Unfortunately the young mother died.
Years later, Eric Brooks is found on the streets by Abraham Whistler, an old man who hunts and kills vampires as revenge for the death of his family. Whistler stops short of killing Blade when he catches him feeding on the homeless - in daytime.
Realising what he was and acknowledging a strong sense of humanity within the boy, Whistler adopted him. Over time Eric Brooks learnt martial arts, weapons handling and ways to hunt vampires. He resented them for endowing him with the torment of an eternal thirst for human blood. This resentment became an eternal oath of vengeance against all vampires and he swore to hunt and kill every single 'suckhead' in the world.
His ability to walk in daylight, his inhuman strength and agility and his combat skills forged him into the ultimate hunter. The more vampires he killed the greater his reputation became. Before long his name amongst his immortal foes was known as Blade and then as The Daywalker.
To date Blade has killed two leaders of the Vampire Nation. The first was Deacon Frost, who launched a coup to take over the House of Erebus (the ruling body of the Vampire Nation) and who also decoded the Book of Erebus enabling him to liberate and the endow himself with the powers of the liquid blood god La Magra. During the ritual that liberated La Magra all the members of the House of Erebus were killed.
The House of Erebus was made up of representatives of the major tribes and clans within the Vampire Nation. Each tribe had a 'glyph' a marking which symbolised each tribe. Their were eleven clans in the House Erebus:
The Ashe Tribe who are hypervulnerable to the toxic dangers of the modern world that plague the House of Erebus. Ultra-violet rays, sunlight, silver and garlic are particularly lethal to these fragile descendants of the pure bloods.
The Cianteto Tribe of Mexico who were raised from the dead by the same witches that granted Montezuma his immense power. As present day warriors they possess the strength of ten men and the ability to regenerate limbs lost in battle.
The Dragonetti Tribe which are influential sorcerers dating back to pre-medieval times and were reincarnated and returned to Europe as the first pure bred vampires.
The Faustinas Tribe, who are believed to have gained their pure blood status by practicing the black magic of Santaria. Beyond their physical strength they also possess the ability to control minds, matter and the elements. Faustinas can only be terminated with a stake through the heart. After the heart has been pierced they must also be decapitated or the Faustinas will be reborn with more power than they possessed before.
The Kobejitsu Tribe who are proficient assassins known as the death ninjas. Strong and agile, possessing unusual stamina, the Kobejitsu can be identified by their bulging red eyes. They are the only members of the house of Erebus that do not cast a shadow.
The Lemure Tribe of Rome who were originally evil spirits that inhabited corpses and turned the dead into immortal night stalkers. Known for their ability to seduce their prey, they are beautiful denizens of the dark and frequent underground raves and Goth clubs.
The Ligaroo Tribe of France which shed their skin during the night and methodically stalk their victims. They feed from the jugular of their prey and are the only vampires to store blood for later use.
The Lobishomen Tribe who are linked to the werewolfs of Brazil. It is believed that the original Lobishomen were killed by a werewolf and returned to Earth as vampires. Considering the number of deaths attributed to werewolves in Brazil, the Lobishomen are the largest clan in the House of Erebus.
The Tribe of Pallantine which hails from the Baltic region. They are some of the wealthiest industrialists in the House of Erebus. Over the centuries the Pallantines have made a killing in farming, construction and high tech. Their immense wealth has allowed them to assimilate into a society that is clueless about the danger that lurks next door.
The Upier Tribe who are born with a full set of teeth and razor sharp fangs. Originally from Eastern Europe, these vampires are particualrly dangerous and feared because of their ability to hone their lethal skills from an early age.
The Von Esper Tribe who are the violent and most ruthless members of the House of Erebus. While most of the ruling Lords prefer to dwell peacefully and inconspiculously amongst the Humans, Von Espers have a voracious appetite for bloodshed. They are profficient killers and are easily recruited to do the evil bidding of their leaders.
Deacon Frost wasn't a full fledged member of the House but he still had a glyph. It means nothing now because Blade has killed him.
Following the fall of the House of Erebus and the elimination of Deacon Frost, Lord Damaskinos assumed control of the Vampire Nation and attempted to elevate the vampire race by creating a retrovirus known as the Reaper strain. Anyone who contracted this virus through a Reaper's bite became a Reaper, who was immune to silver, garlic and couldn't be pierced through the heart. Only UV lights could stop them.
Damaskinos thought the Reaper strain would usher in a new age of domination for vampires and he made his son Nomak, the first carrier of the Reaper Strain. The whole experiment failed though when the Reapers blood lust became unquenchable and they started feeding on vampires as well as humans.
Blade worked in conjunction with an elite team from Damaskinos's clan and eventually irradicated the Reapers and killed Nomak, but only after Nomak had decimated Damaskinos's base and killed Damaskinos himself.
The whereabouts of Blade is uncertain, but we fans all assume that he continued his crusade. My fan fic says that he says and I've just taken off with the Blade legend from there.
-The Creation Of A Hell Spawn-
Hell has had many demon rulers, but 70,000 years ago it passed into the reign of it's most vicious leader, Malebolgia. The Malebolgia assumed bloody control over all of Hell and created an army with which to protect himself. Eventually The Malebolgia began expanding his army and dreamed of one day invading Heaven itself in an unholy war. Armageddon.
To lead his army The Malebolgia creates Hell Spawns. These are mortals who have led a life of bloodshed as soldiers or super assassins. They are often doomed to hell on their judgement but wish to return to Earth to tend to unfinished business or be returned to their true loves. The Malebolgia plays on those weaknesses and offers them deals to return to Earth in exchange for becoming a Hell Spawn. The various grief stricken candidates agree to the deal but realise to late that they have given away their souls and humanity.
There have been ten Hell Spawns over the span of human history with the latest being Al Simmons. He was trained as a government assassin and became the greatest soldier of all time. When he was betrayed and murdered on a mission by his partner he made a deal with The Malebolgia to return to Earth for his wife Wanda.
Malebolgia stripped his memory and ravaged his mind before returning him to Earth five years after his death as a living corpse. However Al was given a special suit that had strange powers, the limit to which seemed to be his own imagination and the very powers of Hell itself. He can fly, raise the dead, read minds, make himself invisible and do seemingly impossible things.
I chose this character's folklore for Whitney Fordman.
As you'll see Blade, Spawn, Smallville and Signs will all converge on a strange and supernatural pathway to create what I hope will be my pet project. How it'll end, I don't know yet. I'm feeling kinda drained at the moment and don't really care if there's mistakes in here. I'll leave chapter two for another day.
Pleasant reading and good luck on this road. Whatever you do, don't stop for directions...
