A vampire's forbidden love: the lies that bind us ch.18
Mamoru POV
Everything seemed to happen in slow motion. I saw the lycan prick that attacked me. In human form at first. Creepy looking older man that looked a tinge bit like he was going to be the next 'crypt keeper'. But those eyes, I recognized those eyes. Anger began to fill me up as did the adrenalized rage that was beginning to coarse through me. Before I could verbalize who he was or react he reacted.
His words infuriated me as he hit me. Sending me back into the wall. While it didn't hurt as much as it could have I still felt the wall cave in and get dented form the impact. Usagi having seen it was able to deflect and hit back but then got smashed into the door herself. She rose back up without a problem and as he went to hit her again she grabbed at his neck and threw him against the paneling at the end of the hallway.
Several feet from me as I got back up and damn near ordered, "Get to Emon, I've got this prick." As I pulled out a very large knife I intended to use to cut his head off for what he did to me. I was stronger now and felt it coursing through me. My blood pumping in my veins as I caught his attack dead on this time. He growled in his full on lycan form. His eyes like death now looking at me as I countered his furry arm try to claw at me.
He growled louder seeing how much stronger I was than before, "Yeah!" I stated, essentially saying 'this time I've got you', before I used his arm to throw him opposite of the wall and into the foyer that the girls were now fighting lycan's in. They had come full on out as one lycan coming up shouted, "VAMPIRES!" and started to shoot at the girls as they fought to kill the lycan horde that was threatening to tear them up in the close quarters.
Minako and Makoto were stabbing and blurring left and right to evade grabby lycan hands and claws while Rei shoved the rat lycan out the door giving a snap order to let her go free since she did comply and do as asked. I could tell she hated to do it but she was a woman of her word and breaking her word agitated her more than letting a lycan live. My instincts to protect my mate and our friends ran high as I grabbed the shooter from behind and snapped his neck in seconds flat, his body falling lifeless to the ground.
The door was once again sealed shut as Soren said into the com, "You need to get that door open again it's not something I can easily hack into. The time it would take is hours considering how old the model is. Our hardware is too sophisticated for it to work properly for me." he stressed, "A bit busy at the moment." I countered as the lycan leader came after me again. I matched him equally this time as I hit him hard and vamped out myself.
"Usagi were paving the way for you make your move." I called out as I was then slammed into the side of and through the wall right next to the closet we had recently found the rat in. it lead into the dining room area where an incredibly long table for eight stood with all of its chairs and an eloquent rug beneath it. Just as I was getting up I noticed a painting on the wall in it on the left, of a younger looking Damon and Emon.
I tried to think of when that could have been made when the lycan leader grabbed me up and threw me into the table knocking off the candle stick holders and bouquet in the middle. If you can call rotting flowers a bouquet. "So your letting yourself get conned by a vampire of all people." I mocked as he roared. "You know its kind of hard to hear you when you sound like the animal your portraying yourself as." I added to it.
He morphed down but I still held up my guard. Just because he had detransformed didn't mean that he still wasn't a threat. "Your stronger than before boy." He growled, still animalistic in nature, "Hai…call it an upgrade." I eluded as he asked, "Where might this have come from?" I smirked and prepared for the coming rage, "Your mother." Granted it wasn't quiet fair to bring his mother into this as I didn't know her but I needed him upset so I could get the better of him and he needed to lose his cool.
He transformed again as I jumped the table and kicked him in the face which sent him down to his knees before kicking his face hard enough again to send him backwards several feet. I had to admit this new found power felt good. I took a moment to take a look at the painting as I walked up to the lycan but stayed out of swiping range, "So you hate vampires yet you lay beneath the picture of a set of them." It was definitely another mock as he took a large hit towards me. I barely backed away in time as I grabbed the table cloth.
Long as it was I wrapped it around his hand as he went to hit me again. I tied it as tightly as I could around as I looped it over his head to try and tie his arm behind himself but he ripped it in his feral anger before I could do so and slammed me hard enough to hit the metal set of armor and knock it completely over. I grabbed the helmet and breast plate and used it as a weapon and shield as I used the helmet to hit him in the face and the shield to block some of his moves. He was still an old ass lycan.
I slammed the helmet into his face to knock him back just a bit as I used the shield to do as much damage as possible by ramming it into his chest by the pointiest edge of it effectively cutting into him though not as deeply as I would have preferred to. He grunted and groaned but then smacked me away. It only sent me back a few feet this time though. I regained my footing and kicked him in the head and sent him crashing into the table effectively breaking it off two of its legs as it stood weakly now on the last two at the other end.
I grabbed one of my knives and went to stab him when he came back and slammed his fist into my gut harder than before. I admit I lost my wind on that one but it wasn't enough to prevent me from stabbing him in the shoulder next to his neck. He pulled the five inch blade out and tossed it to the side. It was as if that did nothing but tickle him. He grabbed my neck and held me up as I heard the fighting continuing on in the other room.
I just barely saw Rei get slammed into a wall herself before taking the head off a nearby lycan and cut into the neck of the one that sent her into the wall. Its aim had been to tear into her neck, her aim was better as she cut into its neck. I wondered when one of these lycan's would try to take their chances and make a run for it but it seemed they were all trying to fight their way out of this mess.
I kicked out at the leader lycan and forced his hold on me to break as I flipped up in the air and used the wall behind me for momentum just as I shoved another blade on me through its chest just barely missing the heart by a few scant inches when it moved at the last possible second to exist. Lucky bastard. I thought to myself. Had that been even a second later his heart would be bleeding right now.
I landed on him as I went to stab him again only to get hit so I slammed my fists back at him, the handle of the blade still in my hand as I pounded on him making the punches even harder. It took several before regaining his bearings and tossing me off of him. However I could also tell he was taking a beating from my continuous hits and was trying to see what the hell had happened to make me better this time around.
He was becoming hesitant and cautious and that I couldn't help but let me feel slightly powerful and more positive about this. He may not have been able to speak as a human in this form but I could clearly see the question of what had happened in his eyes before he roared out and grabbed the rest of the table and swung it at me. Not an easy feat for a lycan to do since they didn't have regular human hands but in his anger he was barely able to make it happen.
I ran towards him intending on stopping him for good as he released the table that he wanted to hit me with and let it sail at me. I bend down to my knees on the floor and felt it glide over me with a wisp of edgy air that crossed over my face. I could feel the wood braze my cheek as I turned my head just in time to avoid getting my head smacked off my body. The table was a big one to boot.
I barely bypassed it as I rose back up nearly clipping my head on it as the leader roared his distain of me in the moments. I popped back up as my body was forcing me to move it or fall down completely and I needed to be on my feet, and came with the blade slamming it upwards towards his chest. He hit me dead on since I was so close but I was also right up at him to. I dropped the blade and evaded the strong grasp by striking with my hand upwards at his face and knocking the mug away from me.
I then used his bent legs to give me traction under my booted feet to rise over his head and with the added air time slammed my elbow as hard as possible into his head. Effectively knowing him down. He went to his knees and was clearly feeling the effects of our fight. I really needed to thank our elder for this blood. It was helping out tremendously. The lycan transformed back down and demanded, "HOW?" his voice pained from the obvious headache he had from my continuous hits to his head.
"A gift from a wise man." Was all I was giving out. It was the perfect opportunity to kill him now as I came up at him. He caught me once I got to him, "Your good now boy but you're not that good." And sent me flying back only for me to grab onto him at the last minute drop down and grab the blade and strike upwards with it cutting into his abdomen and chest leaving a long red weld of blood and pain pouring out.
"I humbly beg to differ." I counter as I hear the continued fighting sounds of our friends as well as the lycan's. The lycan leader in front of me healed then transformed says along the way, "You're a vampire that's barely out of your diapers…I've been around since before your family line was even a thought process." He roared out once more as I then wondered…was it possible that Emon or Naoyuki do to this lycan's what Chikao or our elder did for Usagi or myself? Or was he just that old?
Minako POV
My back hit the wall hard as I grunted from the impact. I've fought lycan's before but these guys seemed stronger somehow. Well at least stronger than the weaklings we were expecting to be here when we arrived. My mind went over the moments before I got hit for just a few seconds, that lycan leader came out from the basement and sent Mamoru against that wall. He was a powerful older lycan that much I could tell.
It wasn't till I got a better look at him that I recognized his movements and mannerisms a bit. I had dealt with that lycan before. Before he was a leader many, many eons ago. When I myself was just a second in command at my own coven. Mamoru was up against a very old and very powerful lycan. How he was in charge of a measly group of lower level scavengers was beyond me but perhaps that was the only way he could become a leader. Leave the group he was with and venture out on his own.
Either way he was older than predicted. Usagi tried to hold him off but his goal in the end became clear. He wanted Mamoru dead for still being alive. I knew how deeply Usagi cared for Mamoru just as I did for my own mate. The one that Kitiara had to snivel upon the sight of because he was technically 'lower level' vampire than I was and felt it was a mistake. Her regards towards Usagi were no different.
However I knew that Usagi would help him if need be so I went to go aid Mamoru if need be but then I heard the howl that the leader roused in his voice and knew he was pulling every lycan he could reach to their doorstep and that made me panic for a moment. We were far from home ourselves and NOT on our turf. I began to wonder if we made an error of trying to confront them on their home ground.
I could hear in the distance some lycan's coming but I also knew the guards we had out there would take care of them should there be any. Plus they would also tell us if there were any coming in. That's when the lycan's from within this coven sounded off. Responding to the obvious call for help by their leader. The girl Rei had held in her grasp managed to get Rei to let her go and fled through the front double doors.
It made me realized that had we come in this way we would have been greeted with heavy fire power. I saw the girl leave out and heard no shots fired at her as her tiny little heart beat within her chest and got quieter and further away. Rei I knew cared not at the moment, her concern was now with the lycan's that were now coming up and coming down the stairs to surround us. Plus she did agree and the girl paid her dues.
Now all that was left was to fight long enough to kill them but above all else make sure Usagi got to Emon down in the basement to kill him. I was just stunned at the strength in some of the hairy beasts we were dealing with. The only thing I could figure was the lycan leader turned them all and they've been around for nearly as long as we have been. A direct sire line they all were. I stabbed him in the neck as he roared his last breath before shoving him off of me and vaulting myself back up.
I used the brown wall to counter my next attack and do a high kick against another one to send it colliding with the massive stair case, breaking it in a bit and for sure denting the wood as Makoto got tackled by two at the same time. She was pretty strong for a vampire but that didn't mean she, I nor was ANYONE in this place or on the planet invincible. I felt at my booted feet what my back had hit and knocked down from the force of it during my crash. Two show swords that were in their sheaths on the mount.
Grabbing one for myself I yanked it out since it had been a little bit stuck from years of nonuse and then the other one. I then shouted her name, "Makoto!" and tossed it to her. I was unable to see her catch the blade as I caught two more lycan's that came after me in an attempt to stop me from helping her. I heard a battle cry seconds later as I saw blood get sprayed along the wall nearby her.
I looked over and saw the sword in the lycan on the floor and sighed a tiny bit with relief that she had killed it before it could get to her. With the one lycan I was working against it tried to knock the sword out of my grip as I swung it around and clipped it in the chin with the metal part of the butt of it before kicking the other one away just long enough to stab the one I nailed in the chin in the throat. Swinging it under the beast to get the proper angle in before I kicked its dead body away from me.
I removed it and it fell to the ground. I turned around in time to get a big enough hit that sent me forward towards the other lycan I had previously sent crashing towards the stairs. It grabbed me as best it could as the other came up at me preparing to kill me. I vaulted up using my vampire agility and wrapped my legs around its tough neck. It tried to stop me by grabbing at my legs but I twisted and snapped it before it knew what hit him.
The lycan dropped to the ground as I slammed my head back up against the other one, not a move I was fond of since it sometimes gave me a bit of a headache, before it could do further harm to me. I preferred not to get bit by anyone other than my mate. The hit forced it to release me to which I then dropped to the floor fully, grabbed for the sword and swung around behind me while still crouched down and cut the lycan off at its knees sending a loud screaming cry of pain into the air.
I watched for the few seconds as its upper body began to slide off the cut off knees. It roared at me in pure anger. I stood up then stabbed the sword down its throat through its open jaw as it screamed in even more pain. "Next time stay down. I'll make your death more painless." I quipped. It was at this point I was grabbed by a lycan as it attempted to bite me as the other one had tried.
A few shots from Rei saved me from that particular bite as I nodded my head in thanks before swinging out with the sword once more to catch the stomach of another coming near me. I couldn't count how many I had slain nor could I count how many I had merely wounded, but as Usagi said this wasn't about killing the lycan's for once, this was about killing Emon. I looked over and didn't see any sign of the leader in question.
What I did see was Makoto and Rei both fighting lycan's, Rei shooting any that were carrying guns themselves and knives for the close combat ones since she didn't have the luxury of finding the swords as I did. If you call getting slammed into one a luxury. Mamoru was still in the other room with a makeshift lycan sized hole in the wall, fighting off the leader of the lycan's better than I would have granted him ability and stamina for, who's name eluded me, but there was no sign of our beloved leader.
Granted she wasn't my leader personally but she was the leader to everyone else here. I was just helping from another cover. Still though there was no sign of her. No trace of her weapons on the floor. No signs of WHERE she was. Nothing. "Usagi?!" I called through the com's, "Not going to get through to her Minako." Soren answered as another lycan came at me. I threw it over my head to give me a few seconds.
"Why not?" I demanded, "I haven't been able to reach her. She either lost her com during the fight or is in some portion of the basement. Her tracker is spotty as hell to and I can't tell which floor it is that she's spotty on." He answered. "Has to be the basement. It was her goal after all." I surmised. "Keep trying to keep track of her we've got everything up here covered." I tell him, "Maybe she took off." I heard Jadeite say in the back-round.
That halted me as another lycan came up and tried to bite at me to. I grabbed its jaw and in my anger ripped it open. My fingers getting cut in the process, "Usagi is MANY things and I know you barely know her but she DIDN'T take off." I blasted him. "She's not one to run out on those she cares for. It's not in her goody two shoe nature to do so." I snapped in response. "Best not to insult Usagi in any form." Soren lightly scolded him. "Just saying…" Jadeite skulked. I ignored and proceeded to kill more lycan's.
"No something had to have happened to her. Or she's decided to take on Emon right now. At this point I can only hope that she managed to get down to the bastard another way cause at the moment I'm seeing more lycan's coming in here. So we have enough to deal with." I mutter as I stab another lycan with the sword before embedding it so deeply even I couldn't retrieve it in a flash and grabbed my own knives.
I couldn't get the knives up in time and suddenly had what felt like a three hundred pound lycan on top of me. I held it off by my hand against its throat as it tried very aggressively to take a chump out of me. I grabbed a knife and stabbed it in the neck and just as it rear up from the hit one of the none transformed lycan's came after me with his own knife. I barely moved away in time for it to not hit my heart but it still sunk itself deeply into my chest.
I let out a cry of pain as the four inches was embedded pretty deeply. I looked over at the pissed off lycan man as the wound made me a bit weaker, enough for the transformed lycan to hold me pinned down while the nontransformed one decided to play with the knife in me. "You like that you vampire scum." He made a sawing motion with the knife in me as if he was trying to cut through my bone or something. I grunted with the pain of it, "This is what you get for murdering several of my brothers!" he cried out.
Fine he hated me, I hated him but in the end there was one BIG mistake he was making, "You want to know what mistake you're making?" I asked him. He seemed to be even more irate that I was seemingly near platonic compared to his enraged state of manner. "You cheeky little bitch!" he snapped at me. I knew he was pissed but I couldn't help but smile at the confused appearance he wore on his face.
The detransformed lycan ripped it back out intending to re-stab it in the correct place I was guessing when the front doors busted open. It was enough to distract the transformed lycan into getting shot in the back by the few vampire soldiers that came inside and distract the detransformed one away from stabbing me. I smiled and grabbed my own blade that had fallen and rammed it into his neck as he looked at me stunned.
I watched as he sank down and I stood up, the blood from my wound having stained my dark clothing not that anyone could tell as the wound while still fresh I could already feel healing up and closing. I pulled my blade back out from him and watched him bleed as I remarked, "This is why the bad guys loose, you all love the sound of your own voice and talk to much. Thank you for playing though and have an awesome day." I winked as he died on the floor. Perhaps that was too much but I didn't really care.
Mamoru POV
I had just temporarily subdued the leader of the lycan's. It had been hard but not impossible to achieve. There's something to be said for learning your enemies weakness. His was that he while much older which gave him that power, also had the weakness of skill. He used his power in his hits which caused the most damage but I had a higher skill level than he did. I had initially misinterpreted this as being better but I knew better now.
I had finally gotten him on the ropes per say. Had him up against the wall after I landed a kick into his midsection that vaulted him into it so hard he nearly went through it. The old wood was giving way as I pulled him up so I could deliver the killing blow when out of nowhere a lower level lycan came into the room, grabbed me and threw me into the opposing wall, giving their leader a chance to escape.
It snarled at me in anger just as I revealed my sharpened teeth in understandable anger myself, "For fucks sake." I growled as it growled at me and nudged its leader away. Wanting to give the old man a chance to escape. My eyes followed him for a moment. "Oh yeah just run off cause you can't kill me." I tried to bait him into coming back but no go. I needed to kill him before he could leave this coven.
For the moment however I evaded the grasp of the one that came in and decided on a quick swift kill that would take it out before I went after the leader…again. It came after me as I grabbed the table cloth again, the part that wasn't ripped completely, wrapped it around the lycan's neck as it did come after me, and flipped it over my shoulder before I pulled and swung it till the cloth ripped the rest of the way again and threw the lycan into the wall its leader was previously in. I walked up behind it, grabbed and snapped its neck.
I came back out of the room to find the leader going after Minako. I wondered why for a moment till I realized from behind Minako and Usagi looked similar. Both were athletic, had blonde hair, and both had leadership qualities to them. He was aiming to kill her thinking she was Usagi. I blurred and jumped on his back before using my momentum to yank him off his own feet and throw him back against the end of the hallway.
Instead it threw him through the wall and into another room. I walked over the broken pieces of wall as I saw that we were in another living room area. It threw me off for a moment remembering that some bigger fancier homes had more than one living room and more than one bathroom or bedroom. This was a large coven so it didn't surprise me that much but still not to common to have more than one living room.
Another lycan came in behind me only to get pulled out by an unseen force that made both the leader of the lycan's and myself question who it could be when I saw that it was my Usagi. I had lost sight of her during the large scale fight that began when I got thrown through the wall. She snapped the other lycan's neck as I had done earlier. "You got him?" she asked. I could tell she wanted to go downstairs and face off against Emon.
"Of course." I answered. She smiled and remarked to the lycan within the living room I was in, "You are so going to lose." The way she said it with her confidence in me made me feel even more empowered as I turned to him, "Give Emon hell…as I'll be bringing it to his pet." I shouted back as she left off. I knew that pissed the leader off pretty damned good as he was drooling in his anger against me. "Take your best shot...you're going to need it." I suggested to him as he raged against me once more.
Usagi POV
Once I got hit away by the lycan leader I was stunned. He was stronger than predicted that was for sure but not as strong as I was now. Once I got back up though I was met with several more lycan's that came up behind him. Mamoru had gotten throw through a wall and the girls were now facing a horde of them that were coming in from most directions save for the front doors. I heard that roar though, the one that called for every lycan nearby to come help.
I sent a quick command to Soren, "Attack happening now, the lycan leader is calling for re-enforcements." I heard one of the guys ask, "How do you know?" I responded, "After you've been around as long as I have you get to know some of these things. The tone and cry was pretty clear." I answered, "Outside team begin to send some in to advance and help out on the inside." I hated that I could hear the girls begin to struggle.
I knew however that they were tough and would beat them back. It's what we trained for, the situations we had all ben in at some point or another. I trusted them as they trusted in me. Just like I trusted Mamoru to fight off and kill the lycan leader. I just also knew that the vampire soldiers were just far enough back that they would need a few extra moments to get to the front doors. I had a chance to look to my right and saw Minako get hit pretty hard but also saw Rei having her back to and focused on the raging lycan's coming at me.
The first one I threw a knife at. The knife landed in the center of its forehead as he crashed down barely touching my feet as the others jumped on me. I wasn't a fan of being jumped by any measure of the word especially by a bunch of lycan asses. They tried to claw at me as I kicked the one in the center hard enough to knock it back and give me the few seconds I needed to jump and flip myself over and out of the center of the trio that was left of them.
Once I landed I grabbed my guns but I was only able to get a few shots off, hitting the edges of arms and legs at best before the three grabbed me, lifted me up high above their heads and then literally threw me over their heads and past the girls fighting the other lycan's in the main room that held the stairs and the front double doors. I assumed the maneuver was an effort to keep me further from Emon.
It was a mild considerate thought that by getting me as far away from him as possible they could protect him better. Plus it was also probably an order he gave them towards me and what better way than to throw me as far away as possible for them. It was the longest I ever remembered being air born that I wasn't in control of that was for sure. I did get the chance to see the ceiling for a few seconds before I looked down and saw the girls.
As it was I literally flew past them fighting. They themselves had NO idea I was currently sailing freely over their heads right now considering how high up the ceilings were. It would have been almost comical had any of them seen me and I noticed them as well. Maybe even a dead panned wave of my hand as I soared over them as they looked on stunned. Hell even if the other lycan's noticed and couldn't help but look either making it even more comical but no.
That wasn't the case by far. I flew easily ten feet over their heads and rest assured NO ONE saw me flying. A part of me bleakly wondered if that's where humans got the idea that vampires flew. Maybe they got tossed around by a group of lycan's or something. They must have put all their efforts into tossing me as far as and as high as they could I landed on the pile of dead lycan's from earlier when we took them out. It was a soft landing at least. Though I was sure I broke of few of their bones upon touching down.
I stood up and faced them. Not my first time against more than one. Just not preferred was all. As soon as they saw their pile of brethren they stopped dead. Their anger mounting high as I didn't bother looking down around the bodies. "Oh is this upsetting?" I mock questioned. They roared and came after me once again. A bit faster this time in their anger. One even used the wall to try and gain a blind spot advantage on me.
However, thanks to the blood that coursed through me I felt like my next move against the next two happened in near slow motion but was still incredibly effective on them all. I jumped up several feet in the air glad for the high ceiling and spun my body around mid-jump just fast enough as I pulled out my hidden blades as they had been chasing me during my little flight through the air, across the foyer where the grand entrance lay.
I had no time to pull out my guns as the sight of me next to their dead brethren made them faster in their rage against me. As I was in the air to get a good shot in as I was still twisting my body mid-air, I grabbed the two blades I had pulled from my side, or rather two of the many blades I had on me. The added bit was that as I twisted my body sideways during the jump it threw them off balance since I was no longer facing them as they came after me in the air.
Jumping up and trying to correct their own bodies. Problem for them was I was MUCH more flexible as a vampire that didn't have to break or modify my body much at all to transform where as their movements became limited even if they could go air born for a while. My spinning flip trick wound up being a winning move for me as they were unable to force their bodies to correct the flip, being unable to be as agile as I was.
I dared not smile even though it was tempting. I spun towards the lycan on the wall slashed the blade out to hit it dead on. It was not my intent to merely stab it though. I pushed on the blade till I met nothing but air as I forced it up till it was free again. I then kicked out at the other one as my body began to correct its own alignment as I was still continuously moving and the lycan started to crash down from the unexpected blow I delivered.
The last one seeing this did what it could to turn its own body at the last minute as much as possible to avoid me connecting with it but that was unavoidable nonetheless as I twisted my body one last time and grunted with the impact just enough as my blade cut into its deflection move. Seconds later or what felt like several minutes later really and I just barely landed back on my feet behind the pile of bodies.
I made sure I was facing them as we all three landed. Myself behind the pile of lycan bodies as they were in front of them. Two of them breathing hard and angered at me for obvious reasons I knew. My stance was of defense with my blades both covered from handle to tip, even my own hands in their blood. My own blood pumping from the action that recently happened. I looked at my remaining opponents before I'd take on Emon. I doubted he be trying to flee through this blood shed right now. Too many eyes to catch and report him.
The one that barely dodged me was holding his wounded arm as I had placed a deep laceration on it enough to cause profuse bleeding that hit several arteries and would take days to heal at least. The other a deep laceration that exposed his collar bone to view as it was slowly trying to close up. They were definitely trying to be more cautious than before…or at least that one seemed to want to.
Of course their last and final comrade that I had first cut into had landed on the pile of dead lycan bodies fittingly so as his own entrails of blood and gutted gore was spilling out onto them. Had I not been used to this I might have gagged at the very visual sight. My hit was direct on as I took a small note of satisfaction took a few seconds to watch as my cut had gone through the center of his stomach through to his chest right up through his throat.
All of this while deftly dodging their attempts at attacking me with their claws and teeth while my twisting my body was enough to upset the balance in their own bodies as they tried to still kill me for Emon. A futile attempt to say the least but it was their job so I understood. I didn't like it but I understood it. I looked once more at the newly deceased lycan as his body detransformed in his death.
His bloodied guts were currently coating the lycan guards he was on top of. The intestine spilling out as his last breath as he looked at me was that of hate on how the hell I got the better of him during that move. The rest were angered and stunned by that move I could tell. I was never one to boast about my position or about my skills but even I had to admit to myself that that was damned good.
They roared and came after me. Whatever caution they might have had left them the moment their comrade died. I got it though, it was an attempt to kill me for him I'm sure and while I understood it, it didn't mean it would happen. They came at me as fast as they could and that right there was a mistake. Seeing what I needed to I ran over the bodies as they did to and at the last possible second as they jumped for me I bent my knees, pulled my blades up and flipped them around within my grip.
The maneuver angling the jagged pointy end that would do the most damage towards their feet as I matrix styled bent my upper body backwards at such an angle my body nearly protested the action, and shoved the knives upward and barely missed them trying to take my head off in a duo swipe by bending my head fully backwards as far as it would go without cracking as I focused intently on where they were above me.
I had to make sure I executed this right and listened for their movements above and around my form. The way they moved and the air that moved around them. it was a trick I learned from Damon at least a hundred years ago. It was for when and IF you were ever blinded in an attack to still be able to kill your opponent. Only in this case I wasn't blinded but my head was so far away and angled that I couldn't even TRY to see where my blades would actually go when connecting with their targets.
Their swiping hands missed me but barely as they had in fact tag teamed me, as my knives jammed up into their chests right above their chest cavities. I gripped the blade handles hard as I forced them to go with the momentum and slice through them both. Cutting through both bone and flesh. I knew my own muscles ripple beneath my clothing as I forced the silver of the blades to go through the thickness of their bones.
I let out a roar of my own, though it did sound more ground in than theirs did as they fell to the ground, cut from the chest down to the abdomen and bleeding everywhere. They slumped. I had suspected that they died on impact from the hit they both sustained. I grabbed a lycan body near me and used the clothing to wipe the excess blood from the blades onto it before re-sheathing them. I looked back at the fight and jumped up and over most of it.
When I landed I saw another lycan aim to go after Mamoru. He was now fighting the leader of the lycan's in another room. Irony was there was a wall that used to be there and my guess was due to the size of it Mamoru made sure the lycan made the hole first. I grabbed the lower level lycan that was attempting to go in and as they both turned to see it I grabbed the lycan, pulled it away from their view, pulled it back, forcing it to bend at the knees and stabbed it in the head from behind killing it in seconds.
It dropped down as I made sure Mamoru was okay so that I could go down and kill Emon. I couldn't help myself though and said, "You are so going to lose." To the lycan leader as I walked off full confidant in my mate and his abilities. Mamoru was going to kill him and there wasn't anything in this world, other than me, which I wouldn't, that would stop him. Beside as I went to the door and punched in the code again it re-opened.
I held my guns out in case any other lycan did come up but there were none. I listened intently and I heard no heart beats down there. It was dark and dank. I looked about and it honestly looked like I was stepping into a vampire cave from an old horror movie. As cliched as it was it seemed to fit the mood perfectly and the tone of what was about to happen. I began to step downstairs as I heard Soren say, "Usagi we seem to be having a problem with your frequency down there."
"What do you mean?" I asked lowly, as the com seemed to get static build up within it the closer I walked down into the basement. "I have to find…another frequency…you down…there…your signal…break…" that's when I realized there was a bit of a dead spot down here. to much metal and rock killing off the signal. It would take Soren and his team over there several long minutes to get me back online.
A lot of things could happen in several long minutes. That much I knew already. Gripping my guns tightly I went further down the now identified stone steps that made an unwanted click sound each time my boots connected with them and the last thing I heard before his voice reached my ears was of that door closing behind me. The subtle click as small as it was sounded loud to my sensitive ears. Here we go.
