Hello, everyone! The twelfth chapter of Vampire Season Seven: The Final Battle is now underway! As I told you in the last chapter, a traitor is in the Protector's midst. Who could it be, and what is he trying to do? Read on, and find out! Note: Sorry if this chapter might be short. The reason is because I've had a lot of school work on my mind, and my writing skills are still improving.

Disclaimer: I own nothing but the story. Thank you.

-Hell's Gate location-

A cloaked figure made its way towards a towering iron gate, and stood before it. A large glowing yin-yang symbol appeared on the ground, the figure raising its concealed hands.

"I ask of thee, Zorc the Dark One, to revive from his prison, and set the darkness free! Reveal thyself from thy prison, and realize thy full potential!" The glowing yin-yang symbol faded, and the iron gate began to open, violet smoke billowing out like fog. Another figure joined the first, and opened its red eyes.

"You called, servant?" the second figure asked in a deep voice, clutching a black sword in its left hand. The first figure nodded, lowering its hood. It was a man with long blue hair, and glowing red eyes.

"I did, Master," the man whispered, bowing before the second figure.

"What is the reason, Parou?" the second figure asked the man, his red eyes narrowing. "Why did you call me from my prison?"

"Because I need your help, Master Zorc," Parou replied, grinning evilly, the harsh winds of Hell blowing around them. Zorc just stared into Parou's eyes, and smiled wickedly.

"I see that you need my help, but what is the reward?" Zorc asked, fingering the blade of his sword. "My service is offered, but for a small price." Parou chuckled nervously, and held up a small bag of jewels to the evil man. Zorc quickly took the bag, and stuffed it inside his cloak.

"Now, listen carefully," Parou laughed.

-Kame Turtle Game Shop-

"Did you guys feel that?" Yami asked, his whole body tensing. Brian nodded, as did Inuyasha and Sesshomaru. Kairi didn't listen, for she was listening to her portable CD player. "It seems that a powerful evil has awakened in Hell."

"Should we do something about it?" Joey asked, fixing a small button on his jacket. Kairi took off her headphones, and looked around, smiling.

"Did I miss something?" she asked, and the others sighed. "Just kidding. I could hear everything around me. Still, we should do something about it, and protect Domino from this new threat."

"Hold on, Kairi," Brian interrupted, putting up his hand, stopping her. "It may have been something we faced before, or it could be a more powerful foe."

"He's right," Yami replied, nodding in agreement. "We have to be careful when we battle this new threat." Kairi nodded, and went back to listening to her CD player.

-Domino Cliffs-

"Soon, Domino will fall into darkness, and it'll be ours for the taking," Zorc laughed, a violet cloud appearing above the city. "Now then, for phase two…"

What will happen to Domino as the violet cloud begins to fall over the city? Find out in chapter thirteen, Possessions.
