Many of the Hinata residents had been sleeping for quite some time when Motoko awoke startled from her sleep. Her instincts told that something was about to go very wrong, and with the precision and speed that it is only known by a true warrior she quickly grabbed her sword and ran out of her door. Something told her that whatever was going to happen was going to happen downstairs, with him.

As Motoko was making her way down the stairs, she heard three very powerful gunshots go off in rapid succession. Once again her warrior instincts took over and forgoing the stairs all together she jumped over the side of the rail just as the orders were coming out of there rooms. "Stay up here!" She scream as she hit the floor softly, her body movements quick and precise she made her towards where she heard the gunshots.

 She arrived in time to see Lazaraus raise a pair of very large revolvers into the air, and fire another round of bullets into the pair of shadows that danced around him; she had never seen guns like those in her life. "The barrels are at least 12 inches long." She said to herself as she ran towards where Lazaraus was standing. "Actually, there are 15 inches and 50 caliber sliver bullets." Lazaraus added as he twirled his guns around the air almost as if he was dancing with them and fired several more shots, into the shadowy figures.

Motoko only stood in awe because she knew that at least one of those bullets had  meet it's target, yet somehow these cloaked intruders moved and dogged through the shadows, trying to ear Lazaraus limb from limb as if nothing had ever happened.

  "Motoko! Watch out!" Lazaraus screamed as his eyes meet hers. "No" she thought as she turned to come face to face with an almost dead white face, his eyes red and ghastly. Motoko could not help but scream, hearing as her family sword hit the ground with a large vibrating thud, for once in her life she was too terrified to move and she knew that it was going to be her final mistake.

The man with the long silver hair and the unnaturally white pallor, open his mouth revealing a set of large and ominous canines, she let another scream as the thing got that much closer where she stood paralyzed with fear.

"No, you can't have her fucker!" Lazaraus screamed as he suddenly appeared as if by magic in front of her, seconds later she heard a scream of agony from somewhere behind her. She guessed it was from the other, whatever, these things were.  As she looked towards her, Lazaraus stood with a large Katana held in his hands, "could it be mine" she thought. No the materials all wrong she thought to herself.

She also noticed that whatever was trying to attack her had stopped advancing, and as she looked closer as the two warriors stood face to face, she noticed that Lazaraus's katana had sliced cleanly through the thing right through his heart and out the other side. The thing let out a horrible scream that made Motoko fall to her knees from the sound. It squirmed and moved its limbs in a vain attempt to escape its own death. It growled and bared its fangs like a wild animal, letting out one more powerful scream which managed to knock Lazaraus a few steps back, just as the thing burst into a column of red light, and then faded away into nothingness.

"Hey, Motoko you all right?" Lazaraus asked in a weak voice, his sword held loosely by his arm, his guns in there leather  holsters down by his hips because of the weight of the massive weapons "Yes, Yes I'm fine" she stuttered, still very much shaken by what had just happened and the impossible things that she had just witnessed. "What the heck happened here!" Keitaro screamed as he made his way towards where the two of them were standing.

"I…I…" Motoko was unable to say anything,  and simply stood her white gown slipping seductively down her shoulder as she stood. " Oh.. MY GOD!!" screamed young Shinobu from behind Keitaro, "Mr. Wolf what happened1" she screamed, they all turned and immediately knew why she was had screamed.

"I said call me Laz, Shinobu." He said weakly, his voice barely a whisper, as he held his stomach. They looked on in terror as large globs of red warm, blood spewed from a large gash in Lazaraus side.

Lazaraus was about to say something, when his eyes rolled over, and he fell to the ground, unconscious, in a pool of his own blood.  Motoko found herself screaming as hot tears ran down her soft cheeks, she ran towards Lazaraus and fell to her knees covering them in a pool of his blood. She let a scream choked with tears as the Lazaraus's blood continued to spill unto the floor.
