Sorry about the long wait, but the fourth chapter of Vampire Redux Season Two is now underway! It seems that Sephiroth knows that Vincent helped the Pharaoh, and plans on making sure he doesn't help him again. How will he do it? Read on, and find out!
Disclaimer: I own nothing but the story, my OCs, and the saga. Thank you.
Vincent stood on the edge of the building's roof, glancing down at the alleyway below them. A few of the infected citizens were searching for the Pharaoh, but had no luck.
"It seems that we're short on time, Pharaoh," he muttered, taking out his triple-barreled revolver, Cerberus. "We have to move." Atem slowly staggered to his feet, the wound still making him weak. Vincent glanced down once more, noticing Yugi and the other Protectors below them.
"Great," he murmured, grabbing hold of the Pharaoh's arm. "It seems we have to try a different tactic to get us to a different building." He and the Pharaoh leapt over the building, but couldn't seem to make it over to the other. Vincent landed on his feet, still holding the Pharaoh's arm. The Protectors glared up at the two males, growling.
"Run!" Vincent whispered to the Pharaoh, cocking Cerberus with his right hand. "Now, to take care of these scum…"
-Meanwhile-
Sephiroth watched the Pharaoh run down the empty streets of Domino, his black wing twitching slightly. He looked down the alleyway, and noticed Vincent breaking through the Protectors, who were trying to grab at him. The One-Winged Angel floated down towards Vincent, who was now struggling out of the Protectors' grips.
"Let him go, my minions," he whispered, waving a hand. They let go of Vincent, moving away from their master. "Well, well. If it isn't Vincent Valentine, a fellow experiment, thanks to my father."
"You mean the idiotic person who placed me in that coffin for thirty years," Vincent muttered darkly.
"Hojo was a perfect father, but you and Cloud killed him! All thanks to a little demon within you called Chaos."
"We killed him only to stop him from advancing JENOVA!"
"Oh, and I suppose Lucrecia, your lover, told you to stop him?" Sephiroth reared his head back and laughed. "She wanted to die, but you wanted her to live." All the while, Vincent was twitching violently. Large frayed wings began poking out of his back as his clothes began ripping. His eyes changed from crimson to a ghostly yellow. Fangs protruded from his mouth, his skin turning pale. Sephiroth smiled as Vincent stood before him, a demon.
"Welcome back, Chaos," he whispered. But before he could give him orders, the demon turned its back, and flew up into the air. Sephiroth growled darkly, clenching his gloved fist.
Atem was still running, tears beginning to stream down his face. A figure was standing a few feet away. He saw unkempt black hair, and knew.
"Vincent!" he called out, racing over. But when he got closer, his heart nearly leapt into his throat. Chaos stood in front of him, claws gleaming in the lamplight. "Vincent…you-."
"I'm not Vincent," the demon hissed, showing his claws. "I'm the demon known as Chaos. And you, Pharaoh, are my first victim…" Atem slowly began to back away, shaking his head.
"Everything is turning against me…" he whispered, breaking into a run. "My friends, the city, and now Vincent…" He felt more cold tears fall down his face as Chaos was drawing closer to him. He soon found himself surrounded by the corrupted citizens, as well as the transformed Vincent. Sephiroth stepped in front of Chaos, the masamune gleaming brightly.
"Time to die, Pharaoh," he chuckled.
What will happen to the Pharaoh as Sephiroth and the citizens move in for the kill? Find out in chapter five, The Guardian Angel.
