Thanks for the reviews I got. They really help me right these chapters faster. To Abuhin, yes chapter 7's fight scenes were inspired by the episode fighting spirit from DT.

Also to dogbertcarroll, I told you I wasn't that bad of a writer, lol

on with the next chapter.

Chapter 9

The Hunter marveled at the world around him, the sensations he hadn't experienced in over two hundred and forty years. The wind rushed past him as he sped around the trees, ducking and weaving past the branches and tree trunks of the forest.

As he see's a club looking building in the distance, he takes the Hunter's mask out of his duster pocket. Slipping it on as he runs at break neck speed as his eyes suddenly glow a milky white.


Leo was picked up by a couple of super hot babes. Then they invited him to an exclusive club deep in the woods. As he looks over at the beautiful girl Raquel, her face suddenly morphs into something hideous. Her canines extend, tapering to razor-sharp points. Her tongue flicks, lizard-like as fingernails sharpen into claws. All this while the whites of her eyes suddenly glitter golden.

Mercury, the other girl, has fangs now too. In fact, everyone in the club does, with the exception of poor Leo. That's because they're all vampires. Leo tries to run, but the burly Doorman blocks his exit, brutally smashing his fist into Leo's face. Leo falls, dazed. The club-goers close in around him. They make a game of it, shoving him from one person to another, their pale faces leering like twisted jack-o-lanterns.

The strobe lights quicken to a seizure-inducing intensity. Leo spins, tumbling into Raquel's arms. She shoves him forward -- Leo lands on the floor, falling at someone's boot-clad feet. He looks up. A dark figure sits in the shadows, unnoticed until this moment. The figure stands, moves into the light as time screeches to a halt --

The man towers above Leo, wearing a dark mask with red lines down the face of it like claw marks and a leather longcoat.

"It's just a human." one of the vampires in the crowd said. "What the hell can one human do against thirty vampires?"

If the Hunters smile under his mask could have gotten any wider, he would have split his mask in two.


Kendra moved as fast as her legs would carry her, as she heard the sound of gunshots. Steeling herself she jumped almost twenty feet in the air, until she was on top of the building. Looking through the window, she see's someone who suspiciously looks like Xander. (Because he had the same clothes on that Xander had on when she saw him in the last chapter.)

Except she couldn't tell if it was him or not with a mask on. As she was about to drop down through the broken skylight to help out, she thought better of it. Whoever this guy with the mask on was, he was using guns to kill vamps. Basically she didn't want to get in the middle of that.

So leaning back, she decided she would just watch the show.


The Hunter whips open his long coat, shrugging it off, revealing an arsenal of high-tech weapons strapped to his body: 6-point adjustable body armor, a modified CAR-15 assault rifle with an ultra-violet entry light, two Casull .454 revolvers, a "Demon" automatic cross-bow, a bandoleer of mahogany stakes strapped to his thigh, -- and last, but certainly not least, his namesake -- katana which is secured in a back-scabbard.

As the Hunter's eye's switch from liquid brown to white, all hell breaks loose. With a snarl, Raquel charges at The Hunter, moving at superhuman speed, practically a blur --

The Hunter draws his Casulls and fires in multiple directions. As a round roars through the air towards Raquel, WHAM! The round punches a fist-sized hole through Raquel's chest, continuing on into the vamp behind her! Vampire blood fountains. Both creatures tumble forward, their bodies quickly turning into ash. The Hunter continues firing, then -click!- magazines empty.

He holsters the Casulls, swings up his assault rifle, calmly flicks on the UV entry light mounted above as Mercury swipes at the Hunter drawing blood and then she leaps twenty feet straight up into the air. We've never seen anything move so fast. She crashes through a glass skylight, disappearing into the night (she does this on the other side of the club, away from Kendra) just as -- -- a shaft of blinding UV "sunlight" cuts across the vampires. They rear back, skin smoking from the light's corrosive effects.

He opens fire, pumping round after round of wooden fragmentation bullets into the crowd of vampires. The strobe lights flicker as the mayhem mounts. Some of the vampires try to flee, scurrying up the stairs, but The Hunter's CAR-15 suddenly jams. Seeing their opening, instead of fleeing , they all surge forward en masse.

The Hunter drops the rifle, reaches over his shoulder and -SCHINGGG!- unsheathes his sword with a double-handed grip. The sword itself had been super-coated with holy water and it had an edge so sharp it could cleave a shadow in two. The Hunter moves like lightning, hacking his way into two charging vampires at the same time.

The Hunter spins again and cuts another vampire clean in half. As the last vampire in the club tries to advance on him, he does a spinkick knocking it to the ground. As the latex clad vampire tries to get up The Hunter puts his foot on it's chest and put's his sword against his neck.

The Hunter's eye's widen as he see's a symbol on the vampires forehead. It's a symbol of his oldest enemy.

"Tell me vampire, where is Daihawk?" The Hunter asked. (It's pronounced Day hawk and he's referring to the original demon that killed Akin Bembola on the boat.)

"I don't know what you're talking about man." the vampire said as he shivered with fear.

"Come now, you wear his symbol but you don't know who he is?" he asked. Before the vamp could answer The Hunter kept talking. "I tell you what vampire, I'll let you go if you deliver a message to him for me. Tell him that The Hunter's back." he said as he moved away.

The vampire got up and started to run.

"On second thought I'll tell him myself."

The Hunter said as he flings his sword, sending it spinning. The sword punches into the vampire's heart and goes straight through him, pinning him to a wall. The hellish creature convulses for a second and quickly crumbles into ash.

The Hunter retrieves his sword, then senses someone watching him. Looking up at a window, he see's that no one's there. Shrugging it off he walks out of the door. For tonight the hunt is over.

TBC....

Please review

Also to anybody that cares I'm going to try to put up a new chapter for Problems with the Soul by the end of the week. I'm not getting many reviews for that story so I sort of put it on the back burner.
