This is the second to the last chapter, so I am DEFINITELY doing to write a sequel. Yes, I know, everyone is screaming for joy, right? I'm wrong? Oh well, I'll improvise.
Chapter Six: Blood Moon
(Narrator P.O.V.) Raven looked at a map on screen. It showed where The Reaver, Reaper, and The Rift were hiding. She looked at the schematics of it, and, having no clue, turned the chair over to Robin. He looked it over, and saw what Vampyre had meant. It was a crude outpost, with hardly anything to speak of, which made it hard to find. He signaled to Vampyre, who was pacing. Vampyre's eyes lit up. Time to kill.
About 200 ft. outside the "outpost"...
(Okay, I like P.O.V.'s better, so it will be Raven's P.O.V. [By the way, I'm a die-hard Raven fan]) We crept up to a group of trees. Beast Boy was evidently paranoid, because when he stepped on a fallen twig, he almost screamed. Thankfully, Starfire was there to put a hand over his mouth, to stifle the scream. Vampyre was enjoying himself, in the thrill of the hunt, type of thing. I was nervous, as I doubted that this plan would work. The Death Archon took a lot out of us when we first used it, how much would it take out of us when we fought?
As Robin had said, there were two guards, trying to look as thought they were just loitering. Robin looked at Vampyre, who nodded slightly. He crept up behind the first guard, and used Shadow Grab to hold the second in place. From behind, he punched his hand through the poor guard's chest, holding his heart. Still beating, Vampyre dropped the heart, removed his hand, and let the guard fall to his knees. The second, he let his vampiric side take over. He bit into the guards flesh, and proceeded to drain the second guard of all blood. He dropped the body, and gave the all-clear signal.
We silently stalked over to where he was keeping watch. I looked at him warily.
"What happened? Back there, it looked like you were enjoying yourself."
"I was. You forget that I'm half-vampire, so I have bloodlust. I also don't seem to have lost some of my tendencies when I was Doombringer..."
"Doombringer...?"
"Long story, to be told later." (A/n: literally. I will tell you this story, SO DON'T SAY I NEVER DID NOTHING SPECIAL FOR YOU!)
"Okay..."
"Cut it out, we came here to get Cyborg, not to discuss what Vampyre just did." Robin harshly whispered, cutting our conversation short. This seemed to snap Vampyre back into Stalk-and-Destroy mode. He slowly crept into the cave, keeping to the shadows as he crept up behind more guards. I sensed a powerful aura coming from inside him, an aura he had carefully concealed since before he came to us. It took hold of him whilst he was behind the guards. His eyes began to glow in the darkness. I watched, mesmerized as he gripped one guard on his shoulders, and ripped him into two half-pieces. He grabbed the other guard, on the shoulder, and then put his hand over the guard's face. He crushed the guard's skull in, and dropped the body.
Then I realized, for the first time, that the aura was really a spirit. And that the spirit must have been what he had referred to as "Doombringer". I watched as his eyes slowly faded back to their usual blood red.
"What happened back there?" Robin harshly whispered "I authorized you to only kill the first two, not all of them."
"Robin, how else are we going to get in to where They are hiding? There is no other way, all of the guards must be eliminated, so that they cannot set off the alarm."
"And what if they have radios and-"
"They don't, I checked" Vampyre cut Robin off "Look, either you can come with me to help with Them, or you can turn back, and Cyborg can know that you didn't want to help." Robin's face fell. Vampyre made sense. But when he looked back up, it was a look of defiance.
"I can't help you if you are to kill these people."
"Then get left behind."
"Fine." Vampyre looked at the rest of us.
"Those who wish to have credit in helping to save Cyborg, follow me, those who don't have the heart... get out of my sight." Robin, who was furious, stalked off, with Starfire following him, with her head down, and a sad expression on her face. Beast Boy looked torn between following Robin and Starfire, or joining Vampyre and me. He finally chose to join us, and help save Cyborg. We rounded a corner to see a battalion of guards, and we tried to back off, but they had us surrounded. I sensed that powerful spirit taking hold of Vampyre again. I had to find out this time.
"Vampyre! What is happening to you?! How can we help?!" He looked at me, and I saw it in his eyes.
"Run away! Run from this godforsaken place! GO NOW!" He yelled, as he fell to his knees, hands at his head, in an effort to help him regain control.
(A/n: NOW will be narrator's P.O.V.) A visual change came over Vampyre. Pieces of black, demonic armor flew to him, and attached to the proper places. As the armor suit was nearly complete, he had grown taller, and a little bit more muscular. The ground shook with the arrival of this powerful being. The final piece in his alter ego was a sword, with a Black blade. It glowed with an eerie light in the darkness.
Doombringer cracked his neck, and looked around. When he spotted the guards, he just smiled malevolently. He spoke in a deep, demonic voice that echoed. "Foolish humans! Behold, and tremble before your despair!"
A guard got enough courage to speak defiantly to Doombringer. "You cannot scare us into submission!"
"Pathetic mortal! I am the doom, death, and destruction of this world! I am the Harbinger of Death. There is nothing you can do to stop me!" He spoke again, focusing solely on the guard. He gripped the sword in his right hand tighter.
"Lies! All your words are l-"The guard was cut off, because he was cut in half. As he was saying the words, Doombringer had rushed at him with ungodly speed, and cut him down where he stood. He eyed the rest of the battalion.
"Now... who's next?" he asked, with a smirk.
