Legacy of Travas

Chapter 12: Travas vs. Alastair

With Vorador and Umah making their way towards the back exit, Travas continued sprinting towards the front entrance. At the same time, he kept a watchful eye out for anymore of Alastair's guards that might still lurk within the lair. Soon enough, he arrives to the front entrance and notices a few of the guards patrolling the area. In that moment, Travas began to float downward behind some of the unopened crates and keeping a close eye upon the anthromorphic sea-dragon guards.

"After Alastair takes down Willendorf and the other towns within the eastern section of Nosgoth, what do you think he would do to us? If he tries to dispose of us, we have to find a way to either convince him that we're still valuable or organize a plan to escape", the first guard spoke curiously, yet urgently, upon his opinionated thought.

"I'm not for sure, Angus, but if that time comes, I can only hope that we may have the power we need to be of good use to him… or if not that, then we could at least try and escape from him", the second guard, Phil replied as he lit a cigarette and began smoking.

As Travas looked upon this scene, he began to quietly move to another set of crates nearby. However, he accidentally pushes another crate slightly as this caused the two guards to look upon the crates Travas had been hiding behind.

"Damnit, I almost knocked over the crates… and because of this, I most likely given them my hideout… fuck", Travas thought to himself as the two guards head over to the shifted crates to investigate.

"Show yourself, intruder! We know that you're hiding amongst the crates", Phil spoke strikingly. "There's no point in escaping… now reveal yourself at once!"

"There's no reason for you to flee like the coward you are. Reveal yourself and we will promise you an easy death", Dale spoke strikingly as well. But shortly afterwards, Travas jumps quickly upwards in the air and lands behind the two guards. But when the two guards turn around, however, they suddenly recognized who the vulpin was and smirk with satisfaction.

"So if it isn't the fox-man himself, Travas Starfox, the one who single handedly slaughtered all of the guards at the front gate along with assassinating the horrific Sun Demon, Adrian. But now he faces upon us and ready to fight", Phil said as he and Dale got into their battle positions. Travas simply stood there and smirked upon them as he prepared to fight.

"I'm guessing that the rumors about me are spreading like wildfire" Travas calmly joked. However, if the two of you want to live, I suggest that you stand down at once and move aside. If you follow the request I asked, I can guarantee that the two of you will get out of this without any harm done on ya'll whatsoever. But if you fail to comply, I will promise you both that ya'll both won't make it out of here alive", he warned as the two guards continue to prepare for battle despite the vulpin's warning.

"Stand down?! Who the fuck do you think we are, a bunch of fucking demon pussies or something regarding the matter?! Hell no, we're not gonna stand down! It is you who will stand down against us, you damned vampire! NOW DIE", Dale yelled as he and Phil ran towards Travas with their swords equipped and ready for the kill. But suddenly, the two guards were killed as Travas used his claws to pierce right through their chests, ripping out their beating hearts from their fragile bodies. He then removes his arms out of their bodies as the guards die instantly, leaving a pool of blood just within a foot of where he stands.

"Humph! Fucking Amateurs", Travas mocked coldly as he cleaned off the blood from his arms and continued to make his way towards the front entrance and exit from there. But before he had opened the pathway that led outside, Travas began to feel that sharp pain upon his head once again.

*Vision*

The day had continued to progress as the sunny skies soon became cloudy. Umah has been walking around the forest near the shores of the Great Southern Lake with many things crossing her mind concerning events that happened among the lake. Then she looked upon the river and began to investigate a recent case of vampires, thieves, and other people being murdered among the shores of the great southern lake.

"Though there seems to be no trace of any battles among this region, why do I sense multiple vampuric energy levels clashing towards each other here? It doesn't make any sense at all… it feels like I have been set up like a pawn in a man's game. I wonder…" Umah thought as she continued to investigate the shores of the Great Southern Lake. Then suddenly, she began to sense the presence of another vampire not too far from where she stood.

"Ah yes, a familiar face from within the bowels of my blighted past, but had been since long dead by my hands. Umah, how is it that you live upon the land of Nosgoth after you have died by my ravenous hands", the cold, yet familiar voice said as Umah shot her head up upon the direction it came from. It was then that she recognized who the man was.

"Kain", Umah exclaimed as she began to feel rage and fear build within herself.

"Yes, it is I, Kain, your former ally within the Vampire Resistance that had become your assassin after your betrayal within the Wharves of Meridian. So tell me, who was the one that brought you back into this dimension after I had assassinated you in response from you stealing the Nexus stone from me", Kain asked coldly as Umah had begun to step away from him slightly frightened.

"How I have been revived is of no concern to you. Now be gone and leave me the hell alone, Kain! I don't want to see you around me again! Now go", Umah shouted angrily in response as her eyes began to water up.

"I'm afraid that I won't be leaving until you provide me the answers I seek, woman. Now tell me who revived you at once before I rip out your heart from your vile carcass", Kain yelled viciously as he grabbed her arms aggressively. In response, Umah tries to escape from his grasp, but would not budge due to Kain's strong grip on her.

"I'm not answering your question at all, Kain. Now let go of me at once", Umah yelled slightly louder as she continued to struggle upon Kain releasing his grip on her.

"Answer me at once Umah!" Kain yelled louder while tightening his grip upon her as she screamed in pain.

"FUCK YOU!" Umah screamed from the top of her lungs as Kain finally snapped and used his claws to pierce right through her chest, ripping her vampuric heart out of her torso. Before anything else would happen, Travas was once again swept back into the present.

*Vision End*

Once the vision had ended, Travas looked upon the entrance with eyes shot wide open in response to what he has seen.

"This isn't good, Kain is going to kill Umah again after he's killed her at the Wharves for taking the Nexus stone", Travas thought to himself as he shook his head. "Though I'm starting to become worried about Umah, I have to focus on killing Alastair at once", he thought once more as he left the Lair and continued his pursuit of finding Alastair within Willendorf City and assassinating him immediately.

*Within Willendorf City*

It was a cloudy day outside and everyone in Willendorf City had begun to finish up their work early before heading back to their homes and rest for the remainder of the day. But before everything was done, a civilian within the city saw what seemed to be a tidal wave coming from the Lake of Serenity. But behind the wave stood a pillar made of water with a figure standing on top of it. However, some civilians recognized the water-dragon-like man that stood upon the top laughing hysterically at them as a horrible fate had come upon them all.

"Somebody call the Sarafan! It's Alastair Ballantine, the water demon that haunts the Lake of Serenity", one civilian yelled.

"He's come to kill us all. We must escape before his wrath murders us all", a Second civilian screamed as he ran for his life, thus following the others fleeing away from the demon.

But on the top of the pillar of water, the demon simply looked down upon the fleeing citizens as he laughed hysterically at them for he controlled there upcoming fates.

"This is even better than I had anticipated. Soon enough, Willendorf's citizens and then all of Nosgoth will be mine for the taking", Alastair spoke to himself as he watched the townspeople drown to death from his deathly waters. "Not even Nosgoth's superior vampires could stop me due to the water acting like acid to them", he continued while chuckling softly to himself.

But as the terror raged on throughout Willendorf, Alastair began to power up some water-based energy around the palm of his hands to perform a final attack upon the city. Though as he was about to throw the attack upon Willendorf, a beam of fiery light had begun to strike upon him. As it struck, the water had turned to steam, leaving Alastair surprised upon what had happened within that moment. It was then he saw that Travas was the one that shot the fiery attack upon his own.

Once Travas stopped Alastair's attack, he looks upon the city of Willendorf to discover that the city had nearly been destroyed by the demon himself. The vulpin also discovered countless numbers of bodies scattered throughout the streets along with various survivors trying to crawl away from the scene. Despite the monstrosity, the vulpin turns away from the gruesome discovery and faces Alastair, upon which the two adversaries started glaring at each other eye to eye

"Well now, you have managed to turn one of my strongest attacks into nothing but steam. I must admit that I was surprised upon the moment your fiery attack struck upon mine", Alastair admitted with slight shock as Travas looked upon him with a serious, determined look upon his face.

"Of course, and as a matter of fact, I knew that this moment would happen in the near future. After all, I am a psychic and had foreseen this event months before we crossed paths among each other", Travas said as he continued to look upon the demon. "And this is the last time you will be killing any more innocent lives upon Nosgoth", he continued while getting into his fighting stance.

"So you wish to fight me at this very moment", Alastair asked while smirking. "Very well then, we shall fight amongst the Fighting Dome that lies within the bowels of the Lake of Serenity. But allow me to raise the Dome at once before we can begin", he continued as the demon raised his left hand and forearm upward. And at the moment Alastair had done so, a massive sized indoor Battle Dome began to rise out of the lake and come onto the surface.

"Alrighty then, if that's what you want to do, that's fine with me", Travas answered as he smirked in response to finally being able to fight the demon at last.

"I'm glad that this suits you. Very well then, I will see you inside shortly", Alastair spoke as he makes his way towards the newly summoned Battle Dome that now bestows upon the Lake of Serenity. Shortly afterwards, Travas began to follow him inside using his flying capability due to the water's acidic touch towards vampires.

Once he makes it inside, he looks upon the arena with some amazement and sees that Alastair waits upon the ring with deep water surrounding it. Travas soon lands within at least eight feet from his opponent and looks around inside the dome Battle Room.

"Wow… I have to admit that this reminds me so much of the Tenth Annual Alopex Martial Arts tournament back where I used to live before I died. I can even see some similarities between this arena and the one back on Alopex", Travas thought with amazement in his mind as he now looks upon Alastair.

"I can see that you're amused the architecture of the Arena interior, are you not", Alastair asked as Travas smirked upon him.

"I have to admit that I am amazed with your work upon summoning this Arena. It kinda reminds me of the one back on my former home on Alopex", Travas admitted as he got onto the square arena and into his battle stance. "Now then, shall we begin", he asked with an eager, yet calm tone while getting into his battle position.

"With pleasure", Alastair replied as he also got into battle stance in response. Then all of the sudden, Alastair sprints towards the vulpin and began throwing various punches at him. However, Travas himself dodged the attacks effortlessly while piling up a roundhouse kick upon the demon. But in a similar manner, Alastair blocked the kick without any effort at all.

They both looked at each other with serious expressions as they continued to exchange punches and kicks upon each other. But just like before, they continued blocking each other's attacks effortlessly, canceling one another out with ease.

"I must admit that my opponent has admirable skills upon hand-to-hand combat. And because of this, he's actually giving me somewhat of a hard time laying a single attack upon him. Excellent, I may actually enjoy this fight since I might have found such an admirable opponent", Alastair thought to himself as the duo continued to throw punches and kicks towards each other with fierce strength.

"That's good news to hear from you, Alastair; I've trained for quite a good amount of time in Martial Arts back home on Alopex. And believe me, I won't make it easy on you whatsoever", Travas replied to his thoughts as he and the demon continued to exchange attacks towards each other.

"So, you can also read minds as well… I must say that I am amused of your abilities. But how about we take this fight up a higher level", Alastair said as he began to power up water-based energy around his hands and use it against Travas. However, the vulpin was fortunate that he dodged Alastair's attack with small effort. In a similar manner, he began to power up his energy upon his hand-paws as well and the two began to exchange energy blasts upon each other.

As these two continue to fire energy blasts towards each other, shockwaves started to become more apparent among the interior of the Dome Arena. They continue to shoot energy blasts upon each other for the next thirty seconds until suddenly Travas manages to make a hit upon Alastair's torso. Though he successfully manages to lay his attack on the demon, the only damage it did was burn off almost half of his shirt and hardly left even the smallest scratch possible.

"Damnit, I knew that he wasn't vulnerable unless sunlight was in here… but this is ridiculous! How the fuck did this guy become so powerful?! All I was able to do was burn off half of his shirt", Travas thought to himself while growling in an annoyed tone upon his own attack.

"Well now, Not very much damage had been sustained upon my body… and you have managed to ruin one of my favorite shirts, which has cost me almost one hundred and eighty dollars alone to purchase", Alastair spoke annoyed, but calmly as he ripped off the rest of his shirt, showing his also, though somewhat, muscular built.

"Well I guess that's too damn bad, Alastair, for you should've changed into something that was more appropriate to begin with, otherwise none of this shit would've happened, pretty boy", Travas said slightly mockingly as Alastair began to fume up from his comment, growling angrily upon the vulpin's comment.

"I don't have the time to be made a mockery out of. It is time that we continue the match at once", Alastair shouted in an annoyed tone while powering up more water-based energy blasts upon his hands. But as he was powering up his blasts, Travas took the opportunity to fly up in the air and fiercely punch Alastair right in his face, sending him flying towards the nearest wall and crashing upon it violently.

Though Travas had smirked upon his attack, his expression suddenly became calm, but serious as Alastair had managed to pull himself out of the wall with ease. The demon instantly flies towards Travas as throws a punch upon the vulpin's stomach, taking the breath out of him for a brief amount of time. But shortly afterwards, Travas manages to recover and looked upon Alastair with angered eyes.

"I had mentioned to some of my most admirable opponents, Travas. I have to admit once again that I was taken by surprise upon your fierce attack. However, it seems that it has made little, perhaps no physical damage whatsoever", Alastair claimed as he smirked upon Travas. Then, the water demon began to summon his well-known watery blades from both of his hands. Almost immediately after they were summoned, the demon began to strike upon his opponent with his newly formed blades, though Travas himself had begun to dodge them with a bit of effort due to the demon's fierce speed.

"Holy shit…! It's like Alastair has taken a few shots of adrenaline and went overboard with it. I can barely even dodge his attacks… but I'll try to avoid them as much as I can while being cautious about it", Travas thought within his mind as he continued to dodge Alastair's vicious blades. But after about half a minute of dodging the demon's attacks, Alastair teleported behind his opponent and finally struck him upon his back, leaving a vicious slash mark on his back as Travas growled sharply in pain.

As Travas continued to growl in pain, Alastair simply looked upon his opponent while smirking in response to the effect of his own attack, leaving a good length scar on his back. But shortly after the attack struck the vulpin, Travas begins to recover and use his short-distance teleportation technique, upon which he mastered some months prior to the battle, against the water demon. In a similar manner, Alastair begins using his teleportation trick as the two soon continued to clash against each other endlessly. In the process, their clashing attacks once again started to create intense shockwaves among the Battle Dome Arena, slightly causing cracks among the ceiling and walls.

"This is starting to become a lot more intense than I was hoping for…! But the sooner I defeat and assassinate Alastair, the sooner that the people of Nosgoth will become safer than before", Travas thought within his mind as he continued to strike upon Alastair as much as he could. But soon enough, Alastair began to have the upper hand as he managed to both block Travas' attacks and strike the vulpin viciously in the process.

Though Alastair continued to have the upper hand, Travas continued to fight harder and give the demon somewhat of a hard time as his attacks became more vicious. Eventually, it got to the point to where their attacks began to cancel each other's out and could not cause any further damage against one another. Soon enough, the both of them landed on the arena ring and took a few moments to catch their breaths. Travas had become somewhat bloodied and beaten while sweating from the efforts he made so far during the match. Alastair himself, though not very damaged, began breathing heavily and sweating from his efforts as well.

"Even though you have been bloodied and bruised by my attacks, you continue on like a soldier that has never been injured by his opponent. I must admit once again that you have the will and power of a warrior, thus your attacks continuing to give me a hard time", Alastair admitted as he continued to catch his breath. "However, I will make sure that you never succeed in defeating me. I will also ensure that you die by my hands like all of the other weaker opponents I've killed, he continued as he began to recover from his injuries.

"Damnit all…! I keep giving a strong amount of effort towards my attacks on him… but so far, I wasn't able to land a single scratch", Travas thought to himself as he looked upon the demon's almost uninjured state. But at the same time, he looks outside to see that no sunlight has shown up. "Damn… I have to keep going until sunlight comes out… and this way, I can find a way to get Alastair exposed to it. Thus, he will become a kenal of a lot vulnerable to my attacks", he continued as he soon began to recover as well. Upon their recovery, the two began to fire their energy blasts towards each other while teleporting from platform to platform. Despite the sunlight's absence, the vulpin continues to fire energy blasts against the water demon's own, prolonging his battle against him until sunlight becomes visible once more.

*Somewhere close to Willendorf*

While Travas and Alastair continued their fight within the newfound Battle Dome, Umah and Vorador continue their escape from Willendorf and head towards the Citadel. Though on the way, however, Umah stops on her tracks and looks upon the direction of where Willendorf lies, sensing that one of the energy levels was beginning to skyrocket. But at the same time, she could also sense another energy level was beginning to plummet just as Vorador turned to face her. But within a moment, the female vampire recognized the depleting energy as that of Travas himself… and from her discovery; she realized that something was wrong.

"Umah, what seems to be the matter? It is important that we continue our path towards the Citadel at once", Vorador spoke, then he began to notice Travas' energy decreasing at a slow, but sure rate while Alastair was getting stronger at a sharp intensity. "This doesn't seem to be good, but as I said, we must continue our journey towards the citadel and perhaps we can acquire help from the other members of the Vampire Resistance", he continued as he noticed Umah becoming a lot more worried than usual.

"I don't know how much longer he can last against Alastair…" Umah spoke as her tone started to sadden. "Vorador we must do something at once before Travas gets killed by the hands of this demon", she pleaded calmly, but very desperately as she looked back upon Willendorf's direction with increasing worry and sadness.

"Umah, you must listen to me! Travas will find a way to keep alive until we can acquire help for him", Vorador said while trying to calm her down and re-assuring what needed to be done. "Don't worry, Umah… he's been in a similar situation not too long ago against Adrian. All I can say right now is that he will be alright… but we must continue our swift journey to the Citadel at once", he continued as Umah could only nod in response.

"Very well… let's continue on to the Citadel at once", Umah said as Vorador nodded and the both continued their pathway towards the Citadel. However, Umah had looked back once more while they were making swift haste towards the Citadel. "Travas… don't die on me… please", she thought to herself as she slightly looked down while making her way towards the citadel. Though on the way, however, her expression had begun to sadden slightly as she was almost on the verge of breaking down into tears. However, she had regained her composure and continued on towards their destination.

*Inside the Battle Dome*

While Umah and Vorador continued their way towards the citadel, Travas continued to fight on against the demon as much as he could. But as the fight progressed, however, it seemed that Alastair had begun to have the upper hand for his energy continued to increase steadily, but intensely. On Alastair's side, he could simply smirk evilly as he sees Travas getting weaker from the damage he's sustained and from the energy he's used up as well. As a response, the water demon began chuckling evilly while looking upon the vulpin's weakening state.

"Well, well… I can see that you're running out of energy… such a shame that it's about to run its course. I must say that for once in over a course of thirty years, you have given me such a strong challenge… but it's a shame that it must end soon", Alastair claimed respectfully, yet mockingly as he flew slowly towards his opponent with energy forming among the palm of his hands. "But after your death, nevertheless, I will give you one of my most modest burials as a token of such hard work and valiant efforts using your admirable strength, energy, and motivation", he continued as he forms his two infamous, watery blades upon his hands.

"Shit… I've almost used all of my energy I have left in me to try and cause damage upon Alastair… but this is just bullshit… he hardly has a single scratch on him…! I have to think of something soon, or otherwise I'm going to end up dead within a matter of minutes", Travas thought to himself while breathing slightly heavily and holding onto his bloodied, injured left arm. But at the same time, he began to look among the windows to see the sky one last time. However, an idea struck his mind as he noticed that it became sunny outside.

"Well now, Travas, do you have any last words or requests you wish to say before I rip out your heart out of your carcass with my watery blades", Alastair asked while smiling evilly upon Travas' injured state. His expression, however, had changed into an annoyed confusion as he saw Travas smirk and slightly chuckle in response.

"As a matter of fact, Alastair, I do have something to ask you", Travas answered as he continued to smirk and chuckle with satisfaction, thus annoying the water demon almost to the halfway mark of his boiling point.

"Very well then, ask away at once so I can kill you where you stand", Alastair replied very annoyed, but calmly as Travas slightly recovered enough to stand up normally. The demon also looked at him oddly as he saw Travas clear his throat and raise his right arm with only his index finger unwrapped as if he were a student ready to ask the teacher a question.

"About how many energy blasts does it take to get every single window inside the Dome broken into nothing more than shattered glass lying on the arena floor", Travas asked with his eyes shut happily and with a happy-go-lucky smile on his face, sending waves of confusion towards the water demon himself.

"What in the-", was all Alastair could speak until he was interrupted by an energy blast striking upon his face, instantly, but briefly, blinding him as Travas began shooting amongst the windows inside the Battle Arena.

As he shot upon the windows, light began to emerge into the arena, causing Alastair to have a shocked expression for having sunlight come upon him, even though the sunlight itself wasn't causing damage among him whatsoever. But that shocked face soon became an evil, smirking expression as Alastair began to laugh hysterically, causing Travas to look upon him with confusion and calm anger.

"So what game are you trying to play upon me? Do you really think that the sunlight was supposed to set me into flames or were you simply trying to show off and continue pulling your vile jokes upon me" Alastair said as his expression changed into an angered one. However, he looks upon Travas as he notices his calmly angered expression turn into a humorous one, seeing him laughing at something. "What mockery are you trying to pull here, Travas? What has got you laughing this time", the water demon asked with an annoyed tone as Travas began calming down enough to speak.

"Wow… well, Alastair, all I can say is that you're going to have to see a dentist after and if you manage to kill me", Travas answered jokingly as he continued to laugh about his discovery. In response, Alastair moves his tongue around his teeth and notices that about seven of his teeth were missing due to the blast and a few others were either chipped or cracked. This causes the demon to fume up angrily, so much that his face literally turns red.

"My teeth… you blasted seven of my fucking teeth out of my mouth! And as I stand here, YOU TAKE THIS AS IF IT WERE A FUCKING JOKE! THAT'S IT, TRAVAS, IT'S ABOUT TIME I KILL YOU WHERE YOU STAND", Alastair screamed furiously as he began to power up his energy, engulfing his body in a sky-blue colored fiery like energy. "AND I HOPE THAT THIS TEACHES YOU NOT TO MAKE A MOCKERY OUT OF ME AS I KILL YOU WITH MY BARE HANDS", he continued screaming furiously while continuing to power his energy up.

As Travas looked upon Alastair, the demon begins to undergo a transformation, causing the demon's energy skyrocket at a much more intense level. And as the transformation continues, the Dome interior began to shake, causing some of the walls to crack and a few of the cement pillars to topple. Travas then looked at him with shock and some horror as he finally felt the magnitude of the demon's energy level.

"Holy shit…! Alastair's energy signal had skyrocketed at an intense level" Travas thought within his mind as he continued to look upon Alastair with shock and horror. "This isn't good at all… I don't know how much longer I'm going to last, but I have to keep fighting for as long as I can… just long enough for the others to make their escape from Willendorf and perhaps the eastern section of Nosgoth", he continued thinking while trying to power up his energy level as much as he could.

On Alastair's side, he began to undergo various changes in his appearance while summoning forth his full power. He now began to grow more muscular than before, his pupils had went from a light purple color to a blood red instantly, and his fangs had become much more sharper than before. But within a short amount of time, Alastair finishes the transformation and looks upon Travas with an evil smirk upon his face.

"Despite the fact that this battle had been interesting and one of the most intense I've ever fought, I'm afraid that I must end it at once. It has been a pleasure fighting against you, but it seems that I have to kill you", Alastair claimed, setting his sights upon the injured vulpin. "NOW DIE!" he yelled as he flew instantly towards Travas, causing him to look upon the demon shockingly as the demon threw a punch on the vulpin's face.

As a result of the attack, the vulpin was hurled towards the nearest wall and crashes into it, creating a crater among the wall itself. Almost immediately, Alastair uses his knee to strike him in the stomach, taking the breath out of his vulpine opponent. Then almost immediately, the demon strikes upon Travas' back viciously, causing the vampuric vulpin to crash onto the surface of the arena and create another crater as a result. In response to his injuries, Travas' eyesight began to blur, causing him to begin losing consciousness as his energy signal began to deplete at a gradual, but sharp rate.

*Somewhere close by the Citadel*

While the fight progressed on within the Battle Dome in the Lake of Serenity, Vorador and Umah had begun to see the Citadel within their sight. Although they almost make it towards their destination, Umah had stopped upon her tracks as she sensed Travas' energy signal beginning to fade and Alastair's skyrocketing dramatically. At the same time, Vorador had also noticed this and looks towards the direction of where Travas and Alastair were fighting upon.

"Oh no… Travas", Umah spoke softly as her eyes began to water up in response. "Vorador, we must do something about this quickly, or Travas is going to die", she continued, but at a much louder tone.

"I know, Umah, I know", Vorador replied. "But before we can even save him, we have to get help from the other vampires at the Citadel", Vorador replied while he continued on towards the Citadel, but he noticed that Umah had turned to face the south-eastern direction. "Umah, what do you think you're doing? What is coursing within your mind", he asked with a serious tone in his voice.

"Vorador, I want you to continue on towards the Citadel without me… I'm going back to Willendorf and attempt to save Travas from his doom", Umah explained as she tried to sprint way towards Willendorf, but is stopped when Vorador had teleported in front of her, grabbing the female vampire's arm in the process.

"What kind of stunt are you trying to pull here, Umah? You know as well as I that we are not strong enough to stand against Alastair…" Vorador spoke with seriousness in his voice. "And it seems I was wrong… Travas alone could not compete against the demon either", he thought.

"Vorador, I don't have any time to argue with you concerning the issue, but you must trust me in this case because I don't want Travas to be killed. I know that we need to summon help from the other vampires, but please let me go to Willendorf at once and try to Help Travas with whatever power I have left", Umah pleaded as she was on the verge of tears, though she contained them well. With a sign of reluctance, Vorador sighs in calm frustration and nods in approval.

"Very well, but you must realize that it make take some time before we can get there. What I can say is that you're going to have to hold out until we arrive on the scene. Is that understood", Vorador explained and asked as Umah nodded in response. "Good, now I need to go towards Willendorf and help Travas in whatever way possible", he continued speaking as Umah hugged him briefly.

"Thank you…" Umah said in a thankful tone as she instantly began sprinting back towards Willendorf once more. Vorador, on the other hand, sprints towards the Citadel and attempts to acquire as much help as he could possibly get.

*Within the Battle Dome*

Upon the moment Umah makes her way towards Willendorf once again, Travas somehow manages to recover enough to slowly get back up on his feet. Though he is up and moving barely, he begins to breathe heavily from the damage he's sustained on his body. At the same time, Alastair lands within four yards from where the vulpin was now standing, bloodied and bruised.

"Shit… I can barely stand up on my feet due to the damage Alastair's attacks caused. I don't know how much more I can take… but I have to keep on going whether it kills me or not", Travas thought to himself as he continued breathing heavily and looking down upon the floor. "But if I fail to beat Alastair and kill him… then I'm sorry I failed. Umah… I'm sorry… for not being strong enough to stop him", he continued thinking to himself as he continues on breathing heavily and looking upon the floor.

While Travas was panting heavily, Alastair continues to make his way towards him slowly, taking his precious time to power enough energy he needs to kill Travas. Suddenly, he stops within two yards of where Travas was and begins to prepare the attack he intended to use as means of killing his opponent.

"Well, Travas, it seems that your life has run its course. You have fought well against me… and made of mockery out of me in the process… but now it is time I continued where I have left off", Alastair said as he prepared his arms to strike upon the vulpin, preparing himself to kill his opponent eagerly. But as Travas began to feel that he was losing consciousness once again, he begins to hear a voice calling out for him. In the process, he began to recognize it as the voice grew louder within his mind.

"Travas!" the familiar voice spoke within his mind as Travas finally recognized who was speaking within his mind.

"Umah… is that you", Travas softly spoke within the 'Whisper' while he was panting heavily.

"Yes, Travas, it's me… and you have to hold on for a little while longer! Help is on the way from the vampuric members of the Vampire Resistance", Umah explained with sadness in her voice and with signs showing that she has been crying somewhat.

"Umah… Why are you", Travas tried to speak until he was interrupted by Umah.

"Travas, it's because I don't want to lose you", Umah answered immediately. "And if something ever happened to you, I wouldn't be able to forgive myself!" she continued as Travas heard the sound of soft crying coming from Umah herself. "Please don't die", the female vampire pleaded within Travas' mind, with her soft sobs soon becoming apparent to the vulpin. In response, Travas' eyes begin to shoot open as something began to snap from within his body. At the Same time, Alastair's attack has been finalized as he himself prepared to strike upon Travas and kill him instantly.

"Travas, it's time for you to BURN IN HELL", Alastair yelled as he finally began to strike upon Travas by means of killing him. But before his attack was able to strike his opponent head on, Travas crosses his arms and blocks the attack from Alastair. In a similar manner, Alastair notices Travas' body beginning to fume up… and before he knew it, Travas' body was once again engulfed in a red-purple colored energy in a fiery manner and his eyes became pupil-less.

"What manner of energy is this I'm sensing…? It's like Travas has gone berserk in a fire of raw energy engulfing his entire body", Alastair thought within his mind as his eyes were shot wide open in shock from the sudden energy outburst Travas began to give off.

It had become clear that Travas began to have the upper hand once more as he continued to strike upon the demon furiously and with fast speed. The attacks are now causing severe damage upon the demon thanks to the exposed sunlight, though Alastair was still able to fight back as well. But as Alastair continued to strike upon Travas, he simply either dodged the demon's attacks or caught them effortlessly, thus giving the demon a run for his money once again.

But as Travas continued to strike upon the demon fiercely, Alastair began to block his attacks once more and soon enough, stopping his opponent's attacks from causing any further damage. However, Travas has managed to punch the demon fierce enough to plow him right through the roof, exposing the demon into heavier amounts of sunlight and thus, making him vulnerable to stronger attacks. However, the demon gave as much effort as possible to stop Travas from causing any more damage on him, but have proven to be somewhat of a failure as he was able to pierce through some of his defenses.

"Damnit all… even through some of my best defenses in this form, Travas is still able to get through them as if they were merely nothing more than a piece of paper being struck through by writing utensils", Alastair thought to himself as he began to worry about being killed by his opponent. However, an idea comes to mind as he once again powers up enough energy to form enhance versions of his watery blades. Then he strikes upon Travas fiercely, knocking him onto the roof and turning him back to his original state. As a result from the crash, Travas is injured almost to the point where his body couldn't move.

"Well now, I see you still had some raw energy left to spare within. However, I now have the upper hand and almost every single bone in your body can no longer function for you to even make the slightest move. Now the dragon has caught his prey and is ready for the kill", Alastair spoke sadistically as he began to laugh hysterically evil once again as he powers up his enhanced blades to prepare them for the kill.

*On the road towards Meridian*

As Travas was fighting Alastair and about to be killed by him, Vorador and two other vampires, Celestia and Doyle, continue to hastily make their way towards Willendorf. However, they were able to sense that Travas was about to be assassinated by the water demon himself due to his sharply declining energy signal.

"Damnit…! It is urgent that we make haste at once before Travas is killed by the demon himself", Doyle said urgently as the small group continued to make their way towards Willendorf City.

"Travas… I do not know if we can save you… but I can only pray that you hold on for a little while longer. We're coming to save you like you have done with Umah and I", Vorador thought to himself as the small group of vampires continued their way towards Willendorf City in hopes of saving their last hope for redemption.

A/N:

Looks like the battle has begun and both warriors have proven to be almost evenly matched. Although Alastiar seems to be stronger, Travas has proven to be a real challenge to the demon. But despite this, who will be the victor of the entire battle: Travas, or Alastair Ballantine? Stay tuned for the next chapter of "Legacy of Travas"
