Dark-Sephiroth: Hey, thanks! I've had some good response to this so I've
decided to continue. Thanks to all who reviewed, you've inspired me to
continue.
STORY:
The three punks who stood before Kain eyed the vampire with a mixture of fear and bewilderment. Jason tightened his grip on his dagger. Suddenly he lunged out and slashed at Kain, stabbing at his chest. Kain flinched but the dagger barely pierced his skin, and in fear Kain swiped a clawed hand at his opponent. Jason clutched his blood stained face and collapsed. Kain was astonished at his new found power. ''Impossible! Kain exclaimed. Then strange instincts stirred within him and he grinned at his remaining foes. '' So, which of you mortals is next?'' The other two, Jason and Kenny fled, screaming down the street. ''Ahh, It's a monster, help!!
Kain grinned again and walked out of the alley way into the street. He was met by a number of blank and fearful stares from the normal townspeople who stopped dead on seeing him. ''It's ok! It's only a suit! I'm part of a circus.'' Kain lied. The people shrugged and returned to their business, a few children glanced over at him but only in awe. Kain sighed, at least the disease was curable, now all he needed was a place to stay in until tomorrow. He saw a hotel towering above the supermarket in the background but unfortunately he had no money. Perhaps he would find something if he checked out the town. Kain nodded to himself and set off up the street. It was still a nice sunny day but for some reason the sun seemed to glare and was almost unpleasant. And on top of that he was hungry. Sandwiches seemed out of the question, at least until his disease was cured, but he thought he'd probably get a free drink of water easily enough from a bar. Spotting one nearby he headed over, feeling more thirsty the more he thought about it. Suddenly a shout halted him.
Hey, you! Stop right there! A black government limo had pulled up nearby and three agents wearing sunglasses and black suits stepped out. Kain was puzzled. ''May I help you?'' One agent muttered to the other. ''He doesn't quite fit the description provided'' The other glanced at Kain. ''No, but the mutation may have spread further. Ah, here comes the docter.'' The doctor who had treated Kain earlier came running up to the group. ''Hey, you got him!! So what about my reward?'' ''You are positive this is him?'' The doctor nodded eagerly and Kain gave him a cold glare. His hand reached for the Soul Reaver and partly drew it out. ''What is the meaning of this?! Have you sold me out?!'' The doctor grinned. ''I heard the government were staying nearby and the reward they offer for specimens such as yourself is much to great an offer to turn down!'' Kain was astonished and furious. ''Specimen?! You shall die for your betrayal!''
Instantly four guns were raised to Kain's head. The agents regarded him coldly. ''That shall be enough, creature. Into the car, no resistance or we shall shoot.'' Kain glared with impotent fury at the so-called doctor. He knew well that the government had quite a reputation for experimenting on specimens such as himself. He knew also that he was human only this very morning! He looked wildly round him for some means of escape but saw none, then two agents took hold of him and they dragged him to the car. The door was opened and he was pushed towards the interior.
Suddenly there was a flash, a spark and a ringing sound of metal hitting the roadway. One of the agents was thrown into the side of the limo with great force. Then Kain felt someone grab hold of him and pull him away. Slowly he turned to face his rescuer.
He had spiky blond hair and an enormous steel sword almost as big as a normal man. He wore baggy black leather trousers, a sleeveless leather top and a huge metal shoulder pad. His eyes were sparkling green, infused with Mako. Kain shouted in astonishment. ''Cloud?!'' Cloud nodded. ''I'm sorry about running from you earlier, I was afraid. But now I've started to change too.'' ''Yes'' answered Kain ''But what have we become and how?'' Cloud shook his head. ''No time for questions, right now we need to fight, unless we want to become government guinea pigs.'' ''You mean to fight them?'' ''Do we have any other choice?''
Cloud readied himself and raised the Buster Sword. Kain drew the Soul Reaver and assumed a battle stance. The head agent stepped forth and addressed Cloud.
''Mr Strife.'' Cloud glared at him, battle still evident in his expression. ''Yeah that's me, how the heck do you know my name?! The agent stood stolidly ''We know lots of things about you Mr Strife.'' Cloud tightened his grip on his sword. ''Yeah well whatever, don't think your bullshit's gonna scare me for a second, make one wrong move and this sword's gonna quarter you!'' ''Mr Strife you bore me. If you wish for your death so much, then by all means, you shall have it. We can experiment on the dead just as easily, if not better.''
The agent didn't move an inch, then with lightning speed he reached into his pocket and withdrew a small black Desert Eagle. Instantly Cloud leapt forth. He surged forward with the Sonic Blade technique and stabbed straight through the head agent. Kain was astonished at the power of his friend. Determined not to be outshined he raised the Soul Reaver and leapt into the fray. Suddenly an agent fired a volley of bullets at him and Cloud leapt between them, using his sword as a huge shield. Then Cloud rushed up to the agent, knocked him into the air with an upwards slash, leapt high over his airborne opponent and raised his sword over his head. There was a short pause for a fraction of a second before Cloud used Braver and chopped the enemy cleanly in two. Cloud grinned.
''Maybe you'd better just hide and let me handle this, Kain!'' Kain frowned in reply. He concentrated and tried to summon some sort of a spell but none came. While he was distracted several bullets flew at him and buried themselves into his flesh. Kain recoiled in pain, suddenly feeling a strange thirst come upon him. Cloud raised his sword and was about to deal with the agent but Kain stopped him.
''Let me show you MY power.''
Kain raised his hands to his head. There were two men dead and two remaining. Kain stared at them, mentally targeting them while allowing the almost instinctive power within him to manifest. Suddenly he was surrounded by a red energy and the two government agents screamed in agony as their veins tore apart and all their life blood flew from them, soared across the empty street and poured into Kain's open mouth. Kain licked his lips in satisfaction and in the gleaming sunlight Cloud caught a glint of fangs.
''You were saying?'' Kain asked Cloud. Cloud just gave him an incredulous glance but didn't reply. The two surveyed the carnage then a distant siren caught their attention. ''Police?! One of the pedestrians must have called them!!''Kain frowned. ''Then they must die.'' Cloud shook his head. ''No time, come on, we'll take the limo and look for somewhere to hide.'' The sound of police sirens grew louder and Kain gave in and he and Cloud climbed into the limo. Luckily Cloud somehow knew how to drive. The car burst into life with a screeching of tires and sped down the now empty streets. Seconds later two police cars screeched into the area.
Later several pedestrians told the police what happened and the bodies of the government agents were examined. The chief officer phoned into the station for a helicopter and several more cars. Scientists were also phoned to examine the two bodies who seemed devoid of blood. Cloud and Kain were soon to be in more trouble than they could ever imagine.
Dark-Sephiroth: *sighs* Any more government agents in this and I'll be writing a crossover with the Matrix! Hey, hope you enjoyed this anyway!! If you did, You Must Review, I'm getting less reviews lately and I need more encouragement!! Thanks for reading anyway, I'm having good fun with this. Chapter 4 should be up soon but only with a minimum of 5 reviews. Oh and don't forget to read Final Legacy too. Thanks!!!
