Escape; by Lazaruss

Prologue : Those blind with rage loose destiny

Kain throws Raziel on the white marble floor, and jumps down :

Kain :" We are the same, sarafan and vampire, whit our holy wars and our obsession with Nosgoth's domination. Who better to serve me than those who's passions transcends all notions of good and evil ?"

Raziel :" The sarafan were saviors, defending Nosgoth from the corruption that we represent ! My eyes are opened Kain ! I find no nobility in the un life, you rudely forced on my unwilling CORPSE !

He than hits him a couple of times, and knocks him on a giant dial behind. Jumping at him, he presses his throat there with his arm. Kain smiles, and continues, grabbing his arm by the wrist :

Kain :" You may have uncovered your past, but you know nothing of it. You think the sarafan were noble ! Altruistic ! "

He rips it off of him, and with a flash of energy, blasts him away to the other end of the room. Kain than turns the last dial :

Kain :" Oh, don't be simple. Their agenda was the same as ours. "

At that point, the machine at the top of the room starts spinning faster, drawing its claws closer to one another. It starts radiating with energy, and fires a beam to an infinity symbol above the portal, causing it to open exploding like water.

Kain :" You nearly had me, Raziel… "

He planer shifts to the portal :

Kain :"…but this is not how, or where it ends. "

Raziel gets up

Kain :" Fate promises more twists before this drama unfolds completely. "

Just as he is about to step trough the portal, Raziel shifts into the spirit realm. There are two portals there; one at the center of the room, and the other just in front of the opened portal, where Kain stood. He swiftly feeds himself, and emerges right behind Kain. Poling him back, he starts fighting with him before the opened portal. At one point, Kain grows angry and throws a telekinetic bolt at Raziel, but he dodges and the bolt hits one of the dials.

Kain :" Noooo !"

Instantly a shock of quakes passes trough the chamber. The machine on the ceiling becomes cowered with explosions, the portal explodes again and with water like energy, sucks them both into the whirl. Explosions emanate from every corner of the chamber, the spinning device falls down braking to bits and the entire chronoplast collapses to ruin and a pile of rubble.

A beam of teleported mater flies trough the universe, diverted by many planets meteorites and stars. Finally, it reaches one solar system with a small sun and is directed to a third planet, that shines like a blue life-filled babble in an empty universe. With the speed of light, it shoots down on one of the continents, striking near its east coastal side in the thick black forest, and there it opens a portal and shacks its baggage out, scorching everything around.

" Ser…? I think you should take a look at this…"

" What is it ?... My god ! What the hell is it ?"

" It's a… an electromagnetic storm ?"

" That's impossible. Such things don't occur in our atmosphere. What do the sensors show ?

" They've gone crazy. Thermo shows +300, but the backup shows… -1000 ?"

" Looks like it's settling down…"

The sky above the forest is lighted by the orange and yellow lights, that made it seems like an orb of flame was hovering there. At the edge of a forest, two strange lurching figures approach, and amazed by the sight, they stare at the spectacle. One of them says :

" Woha ! It's the mother ship ! The aliens have come at last ! Come !"

And he pools the other into the forest.

The energy subsided. Kain's claw clenched in the mud that first greeted him as he regained consciousness. He was at once blinded by some thick black coaly smoke that pinched his eyes and assaulted his smell.

" Ser…there is something moving there…in the crater. "

" It's alive ! Nothing could have survived that !"

" It's barely visible on the thermo. What ever it is, it's cold. "

Barely adapting to this new environment, Kain tried to use his senses to find the pillars, but his efforts were in wane. He tried harder, but there was nothing again. He rouse from the ground :

" Where are the pillars !"

As he stood up, he noticed that he was at the bottom of an impact crater, made by the collapsing portal. But the soil was strange. It was greasy and dark, filled with black oil. He climbed to the edge of it and took a look at the sky. The stars were different somehow. Not were they should be, not at this or any time of night. And the trees were dark, almost black, and they seamed darker still in that thick black mist. In that moment he stepped on something. It was s small light metal cylinder, with silver bases, and red round sides. There were some white letters on it but he couldn't make them out. Just as he decided to hold on to it, he heard a loud rumbling noise that passed by the woods and startled him. He came to the edge of the forest, and found him self before a sight that chased away all familiar memories. It was a road of a single stone that lead into a towering city of glass and steal whose buildings rose to the clouds and imprisoned light inside their huge cadges. This wasn't Nosgoth anymore.

Suddenly someone stepped behind him. He turned and saw a man and a woman, strangely dressed, but still humans. They wore black leather with many silver pins on it, and their hair was like they've had a lightning strike. The man spoke :

" Wow ! Are you alright man ?"

Kain didn't understand the language that native used, but he didn't care. The thirst was pressing him, and a vile of anger boiled in his hart. Hunger and rage came together in an unrestrained need. In a mighty leap, he jumped across the giant crater, and stabbed his fangs in to man's flesh. The woman screamed and run away, while Kain was lost in a new horrible revelation. The blood was revoltingly sour and purely satisfying. It was polluted and corrupted, but he had to have more. The woman !

She ran trough the woods cowered with cold sweat, and sobbing for help as loud as she could. At one point, she turned to see behind whether or not the monster followed her. There was nothing behind, but as she turned back forward, she ran into Kain's demonic figure.

" Going somewhere…?"; he said with a cold rage that froze her feet on the spot.

She didn't understand him, but the tone of his voice was clear enough. He pointed his fangs out, but she took out a small glass wail, and sprayed some pinching steam in his eyes. For a moment, he was blinded, and she ran beside him, while Kain wiped his burning tears. He adapted soon after, and the rage he endured in that moment was enough to torch the entire forest. The insolent fool left a clear track to follow, and she couldn't outrun a vampire such as he.

As he emerged to a clearing, he found her in a presence of two other men, standing on that river-like road. They bore strange dark blue uniforms, decorated with some metal badges, and they both had a similar hat. All three stood before a noisy horseless metal carriage in white and blue color, with a set of spinning read and blue lights on top of it.

They were shocked to see him, and they instantly pointed their…black boxes at him. Kain looked at them as if they were insane, and dissolved into a cloud of mist that covered the grass.

" The sensor interference has just increased… I'm attempting to compensate…"

" What are they doing ? Can't they see it ?"

" It's coming behind them. "

Within the next few seconds, the heart of one man broke trough his chest and fell to mist filled grass. The woman screamed, while the other man grabbed his head and started to sway. Suddenly, his eyes became glassy. He grabbed her so strong she could barely breathe, and than Kain formed before them. Unfortunately the officer's mind was crushed by his telepathy, so he didn't get much information out of it. He had to be more careful with his next subject. Kain placed his claw on her head and started draining her thoughts and memories in an amazing spin. His face became content, for gaining some answers at last, than surprised, and finally sour with despair. He released her, and trough her spinning headache, she saw him knock the car on its roof.

" MOEBIUS ! Why didn't I see this ! "

And so it was that Kain the disrupter, the deliverer of doom, and the last of the destroyers of hope, came to this world of men, he so despised. And he released his mighty roar in the sky like a cadged beast.

The next moment, the officer shot her, and than himself. Kain swallowed their sour blood and dispersed into a horde of black bats. He left behind all his victims and a small red can on whose side said " COCA-COLA".

A fresh soul greeted Raziel as the pain subsided. It hovered around his head as if it wanted to tell him something. But his hunger didn't care. The spirit swiftly disappeared beneath his wrap, restoring him and turning the wheal one more time. He found him self in the spectral realm, on the bottom of a dark black hole. At that point he cared not for his adobe. All he wanted was to complete the chase, but as he jumped out of the hole and came out of the forest, he changed his mind. The strange city made of glass, bended and twisted by the powers of the spectral realm, exploded before him blocking the entire horizon. A swarm of souls swirled amongst the buildings like angry bees around their hive. The alien sight of this place left a deep impression on him, but he collected his thoughts. Kain must have bean here too, and this alien city is not good enough hiding place to avert his anger. But first, he had to find a portal out of the spectral realm. Perhaps it could be found in that loop-towering city. That must be where Kain was headed to. And so he boldly stepped forward with a steady pace, towards the greatest construction he'd ever witnessed.

A police car lied on its roof, with an imprint of large claws on it. Three dry human corpses surrounded it in silence and solitude. Suddenly that silence was interrupted by a sound of propeller, silently beating trough the air. A light descended from above, and a dark nameless chopper landed on the lonely hill. Men, dressed in hazard suits emerged out of it, and with their strange devices started to sweep across the area. In a while they collected the bodies and went back up the way they came.
