Legacy of Travas

Chapter 21: A Battle within Dimensions

The sun has begun to set over the western horizon in Nosgoth, and with it, Janos and the other vampires wait inside the Main Chambers of the Citadel. Inside, plans concerning Infernum and the Soul Reaver begin to course their minds while Doyle continues to pace around the room. Then out of limited patience, Aramantha stands up and turns towards the direction of the Balcony as Janos and Vorador stand and confront her.

"Aramantha, I know it has been some time since Travas and Umah journeyed towards Avernus, but we must wait for them to return with the Reaver", Vorador spoke while Aramantha turns to face him.

"I know…" Aramantha started. "But I cannot wait for them much longer! We must make our plans now before Infernum strikes upon Nosgoth", she claimed while turning back towards the Balcony. However, Janos places his left hand onto her right shoulder, causing the female vampire to turn and face her sire with curious eyes.

"I understand that you wish to stop Infernum at this time. However, Vorador speaks the truth since Travas and Umah have not returned the Reaver in their possession", Janos claimed. "Until they return, we cannot begin making plans regarding the dimensional demon".

"But-", Aramantha started.

"It is for the best at this time", Janos interrupted. Then with a sigh of defeat, Aramantha reluctantly turns back and walks towards the sofa. But within a few seconds' notice, Doyle's head shoots up and turns to the Balcony Entrance while standing onto his feet instantly.

"It seems that they have returned, Sire", Doyle suddenly spoke as he and the others head out of the Main Chambers and towards to the Balcony. Thus, to their relief, Travas and Umah land onto the Balcony without any injury from the mercenaries, though they notice a couple on Umah that came from the collapsing Dungeon ceiling.

"I see that you have the Reaver in your possession", Vorador assumed while eying the weapon of his own creation, causing him to smirk in delight. "Excellent, now we can discuss of our plans regarding the wolf demon. But before we do, did the both of you have a hard time acquiring the Reaver", Vorador asked while looking upon Umah's injuries.

"We've had a bit of a hard time due to exploding skeletal warriors, traps, fresh gunpowder contained in explosives, and dealing with a giant fire breathing demon. However, Umah was slightly injured by a collapsing ceiling within a dungeon after we destroyed the skeletal army", Travas explained as Vorador nods in response. "But the rest of the Dungeon caved in after I killed the demon that was occupying it".

"I see…" Vorador started while holding his chin and rubbing it with his right index finger. "But let us head inside and begin discussing our plans regarding Infernum and his demonic minions at once", Vorador ordered as he and the rest of the vampires follow him inside, thus commencing the discussion for the plans to defeat the wolf demon and his demonic army.

*Upon the Dark Eden Exit in the Northern Mountains*

Within the Northern Mountains slightly north-west of Uschtenheim, Infernum and his legion of powerful Demons appear from the exit of Dark Eden. Upon exiting the demonic dimension, the wolf demon and his army set their sights on Uschtenheim, located slightly South-east of their current position. Thus the wolf smirks in delight upon seeing the town as Uschtenheim's residents begin to discontinue their daily lives and return to their homes for the upcoming night.

"Lord Infernum, the people of Uschtenheim have begun to cease their work for the approaching night. Shall we use this time to make our attack", a Green Bladed Demon asked while carefully approaching his sire.

"Let us approach the town at once", Infernum ordered calmly while smirking. "But let us walk and take our sweet time there. Vengeance is best savored during a bloodthirsty assault, for their fear and anxiety sweetens their precious life's blood", he ordered while licking his lips in satisfaction.

"Very well, sire. We shall follow your order and savor our bloodthirsty assault for the heat of the night", the Green Bladed Demon replied as Infernum and his demonic begin walking towards Uschtenheim, upon which their vicious crusade for dominance over Nosgoth shall begin.

*Within the Citadel*

The sun finally sets and the night sky starts to take over Nosgoth. But inside the Main Chambers, the vampires continue their discussion of their plans regarding their attack against Infernum and his legion of demons. During the discussion, Janos stands up onto his feet and begins to wander around the room, pacing back and forth in a rather constant motion.

"Now that we have formulated our plans, let us continue our training at once and make preparations for whatever this demon may have", Janos ordered as the others nod in response.

"Yes, Sire", the other vampires spoke in unison as they begin to walk towards the training room. But before leaving the room, an explosion suddenly occurs, which came from the direction in which Uschtenheim was located.

"What was that", Umah asked while she and the others run out to the Balcony and looks to the North-eastern direction, seeing Uschtenheim in flames and hearing the agonizing cries of its citizens.

"Oh, shit! He's already started his attack against Nosgoth", Doyle shouted, looking towards Uschtenheim with shocked eyes.

"Damn! It looks like we're gonna have to fight him earlier than we expected", Travas replied as he growls in rage from seeing Infernum and his army destroying Uschtenheim and its people.

"It seems we do not have a choice but to fight him now", Janos claimed. "However, we must proceed with caution since I don't know what Infernum is capable of", he continued as he and the rest of the vampires quickly depart to the burning town with haste, hoping to stop the wolf demon and his ravenous army.

*Within Uschtenheim*

In the dark skies above Uschtenheim, the cries of many agonizing people can be heard by Infernum as the demons continue their slaughtering crusade for dominance over Nosgoth. The fathers and the children were brutally mutilated as the women were raped moments before they were to follow the same fate that the others have. While the demons did Infernum's bloody work, he himself lands onto the ground and stays amongst the sidelines, watching his minions slaughter everyone with bloodthirsty satisfaction. There has been one particular family, however, that Infernum set his sights on and begins to walk towards them, eager to kill them by his own hands.

The family itself was made up of a human mother, an anthromorphic gray fox, and a gray fox/human hybrid toddler son. The father himself contained scars on parts of his body that had been recently made by an event familiar to Infernum himself. As the wolf demon approaches the family, he recognizes the father as one of his former prisoners from the month before. Thus, the wolf demon smirks at the father as he begins to form an energy blade onto his own right arm.

"Well if it isn't one of my former prisoners from the Colosseum at Dark Eden, Johnny Broderick! How nice to see you once again", Infernum said with a calm sense of sarcasm in his tone, causing Johnny to turn and face the wolf demon himself. "Has life been treating you fairly nowadays", he asked, again using the same sarcastic tone.

"Well it has been better until you and your damn demons attacked the place", Johnny answered mockingly in an annoyed tone as he quickly gets into battle position. "Now do us a favor and leave us the hell alone", he shouted as Infernum laughs at him almost hysterically.

"I haven't a clue on how many times I've heard that one, but as I told many of my opponents in the past, if you wish to rid me of this place, you will have to fight and kill me where I stand", Infernum claimed as he instantly gets into his fighting position.

"Fine…! If it's a fight you want, then a fight you shall have", Johnny replied as he and Infernum fly towards each other at swift speed. Upon the moment of interception, he and the wolf demon hastily start to clash at one another, using fierce fists, kicks, and energy blasts as the only attacks to strike at one another.

Down on the Streets of Uschtenheim below, Johnny's family watches the battle as they cheer on for their beloved husband and father. Their chants had become so serious that the other surviving townsfolk begin to cheer on Johnny fighting against the dimensional demon. At the same time, some of the stronger townsfolk fight against the horde of demons as best as they could to help keep the chanting townspeople safe until help arrived.

"GO JOHNNY", the townsfolk chanted loudly as Infernum starts to become angered by their chants. With this, he begins to fire an energy blast against them, but before it was able to hit, Johnny arrives fast enough to deflect the attack towards the North-eastern Mountains. Thus the chants towards Johnny began to grow louder as many of them continue to fend off the demonic horde.

"Go, Daddy!" Dylan cheered after climbing onto his mother's shoulders for a better view of the battle.

Though what many thought brought hope begins to dissipate as Infernum fiercely strikes Johnny in the stomach several times, taking the breath out of him while coughing a bit of blood in the process. Suddenly, Johnny was met with a harsh sidekick upon his back as he was sent flying towards a wooden shack nearby, leaving the others in shock and despair as they watch the event take place. As Johnny tries to get onto his feet, Infernum flies towards his injured opponent until he was within ten feet from his position and five feet above ground.

"Wow, I must admit that I'm impressed by your skills, Johnny. But it seems that they weren't enough to keep you alive", Infernum spoke as he prepares the infamous flay projectile within the palm his left hand, unaware that Johnny had something up his sleeve as well. Before Infernum was able to throw the projectile, Johnny fires a fire based blast towards the left side of his face, engulfing it in smoke as his attack dissipates a few moments later.

When the smoke finally dissipates, about half of his face was stripped of its furred flesh and down to the bone. This, in response, causes Johnny to smirk upon his well-orchestrated, yet small achievement as Infernum looks upon him angrily.

"You fool… how dare you strike upon my face and remove half of my furred flesh in the process", Infernum yelled angrily as Johnny continues to smirk while chuckle in response. "What are you laughing at, Johnny?!" he yelled calmly at first, but begins to growl angrily as the gray vulpin continues to chuckle. "ANSWER ME, GOD DAMNIT!" the wolf demon shouted while he clenches his fists tightly in an angered manner.

"I just find it ironic that the great wolf demon, Infernum, can spot any attack before it was fired. And yet here you are getting pissed over not expecting one of my own attacks", Johnny answered as he begins to grin at Infernum's angered expression. "Now that I think about, I think you might wanna see a cosmetologist and get your face taken care of", he mocked as Infernum reforms his energy blade over his right hand-paw and aims it towards his opponent, holding it in a similar manner to that of a rifle.

As the wolf demon aims his energy blade upon his opponent, he begins to summon forth energy from it with strong intensity, so much so that it causes Uschtenheim to shake as if an earthquake suddenly strikes the town. Within a matter of ten seconds, Infernum has his deadly energetic projectile ready, with Johnny seeing the blade spark wildly as the wolf demon prepares to fire it towards his vulpine opponent.

"Your time has come, you wretched fox! Now DIE AND BURN IN HELL" Infernum screamed as he fires the projectile from his blade towards his enemy.

"DADDY", Dylan screamed, with tears beginning to stream down his face, watching helplessly as his father was about to be murdered by the hands of the dimensional demon himself.

Within a second's notice, Dylan turns away and shuts his tear-filled eyes, unable to witness the demise of his own father. Instead of hearing his father's agonizing scream, however, he hears a ricocheting sound as the projectile was unexpectedly deflected towards the North-east by an unknown warrior. Upon turning his head and opening his eyes, he discovers that it was his father's childhood friend, Travas, who had deflected Infernum's attack. Upon discovering this, he smiles with a sense of hope beginning to overwhelm him.

"Mommy, it's Travas!" Dylan yelled cheerfully as he begins to dry his tears and smiles with a sense of comfort and hope.

"Oh thank god", Alexia thought with a relieved tone as she takes Dylan off of her shoulders and holds him in her arms, watching the sudden appearance of the notorious vulpin himself. At the same time, the wolf demon becomes angered by his interference in deflecting the attack that would have killed Johnny.

"So you finally arrive onto the fiery scene of my bloody massacre", Infernum spoke with annoyance in his tone, looking towards Travas angrily while smirking in delight. "And it seems you and your vampire companions arrive just in time to witness the beginning of my crusade for dominance over Nosgoth".

"Well I'm afraid to break it to you, Infernum, but it seems your crusade is about to come to a sudden halt as of now", Travas claimed as he got into his battle position. "And from here on out, your fight's gonna be with me", he continued as Johnny manages to barely get back upon his feet.

"Johnny", Alexia exclaimed as she, with their son in her arms, runs to him and helps him move away from the area, getting him out of the way between the two warriors.

"Well if you wish to fight with me, Travas, then so be it. However, I have some unfinished business with your fellow companion, Johnny", Infernum said as he turns to face the fleeing family, raising his right arm and aiming towards their direction. "However, murdering him and his family seem to be a more suitable approach, don't you agree", he continued as the wolf demon suddenly fires a powerful energy blast towards Johnny and his family. Again, Travas quickly flies towards the family and deflects the oncoming attack Infernum had fired towards them. Thus, the vulpin begins to growl in anger as Infernum looks at him in a serious, but calmly angered expression.

"Maybe you didn't hear me the first time, Infernum! Your fight's gonna be with me from here on out", Travas exclaimed as he got into his battle position. "AND YOU KEEP JOHNNY AND HIS FAMILY OUT OF IT", he screamed before he suddenly shoots toward the dimensional demon and fiercely tackles him straight towards the night sky.

Upon the moment Travas took Infernum about two hundred-fifty feet above Uschtenheim, the two powerful warriors begin to clash at one another, using both physical attacks and energy blasts towards each other fiercely. Within a moment's notice, however, Infernum lands an uppercut onto Travas' face, thus sending him flying towards a nearby mountain and crashing near its peak. Shortly, though, he manages to recover as he flies towards the dimensional demon with haste and attempts to land a roundhouse kick upon his stomach.

"I see that he is coming to try and strike upon me once again. Well then, we'll just see about that", Infernum thought as he manages to catch his opponent's striking leg and swings him around for a few moments before throwing him towards Uschtenheim's Clock Tower below. Before Travas would ever crash into the Clock Tower, however, he manages to make an aerial recovery and fly towards him once more. Before Travas could attack Infernum, however, the wolf demon teleports from his former spot and strikes his tightly gripped hand-paws upon the vulpin's back with sheer force.

As Travas continued to plummet towards the ground, he makes yet another aerial recovery while noticing Infernum summoning his energy blade upon his right hand-paw. In a similar manner, Travas unsheathes the Soul Reaver from behind him and flies towards the wolf demon with haste. Thus, the two began fighting against each other fiercely with their own blades striking the other.

"I see you have acquired the legendary Soul Reaver blade, the source of the vampire's weapon salvation since Nosgoth's ancient days", Infernum said as he continues to strike his blade against Travas' own. "Now that he has the sword, I am eager to see what the Reaver is capable of doing", he thought just before Travas begins smirking in response.

"Oh don't worry, Infernum, you'll be seeing a lot more than the swords capabilities. In fact, you'll be seeing me ram it down right through your fucking skull", Travas claimed as he continues to strike against Infernum's energetic sword with the Soul Reaver.

Though what appears to be that Infernum is gaining the upper hand against his opponent, that suddenly begins to turn around as Travas summons a bright blue energy projectile from within the Reaver itself and fires it at the wolf demon instantly. At the moment the projectile hits Infernum, he was thrown back towards Uschtenheim's fountains as the crowd quickly run away from the crash site. It was then that Travas lands within twenty feet from Infernum's position and begins approaching him with the Soul Reaver ready to strike the demon and killing him where he lies.

"Any last words you wish to say before I kill your sorry ass", Travas asked fiercely as he raises the Sword over his head, ready to strike upon the dimensional demon.

"As a matter of fact, I do", Infernum answered before firing an electrical attack towards his opponent. The attack itself shot bolts of lightning from his left hand-paw and pushes Travas about forty meters away from him and onto a nearby mountain. Within a second's notice, he flies towards the vulpin as Travas himself manages to recover in time to block the wolf demon's ferocious attacks. Within another moment, the vulpin uses his telekinetic abilities to throw Infernum towards the skies again, allowing him to fly towards the demon with haste.

As the people of Uschtenheim continue to watch the horrific, yet entertaining battle, Travas manages to catch up with the wolf demon and strikes him in the stomach with his knee, taking the breath out of his lungs. Along with this attack, he manages to strike Infernum's back and sends him crashing onto the rocky fields nearby. In a similar notion, Infernum crashes upon the field in which the rest of Travas' vampuric companions were fighting against the wolf demon's demonic army. Both Janos and Umah turn to face Infernum crash landing near their current positions as they notice Travas preparing to strike the blade upon the demon.

"Lord Infernum", an Electrical Demon exclaimed as it runs towards the wolf demon to try and help him. However, it was abruptly stopped by Janos as he pierces his arm right through its chest, grabbing a hold of its heart right out of the Electrical Demon's torso. Thus, the dying demon turns to face the winged vampire in agonizing pain as Janos rips out its heart.

"You shall not interfere with Travas and Infernum's battle. This is their battle, and theirs alone", Janos stated just before he drops the demon's heart onto the earthly ground and pulls his arm out of its torso. Thus the demon falls silently onto the earth in a pool of its own demonic blood.

Within a second after the demon collapses, Travas strikes the blade against the dimensional demon while Infernum lies there upon the recently formed crater. Suddenly, Infernum uses his energy blade to block the Reaver from making contact with his body. Thus, he uses his telekinetic energy to hurl Travas towards a nearby Bladed Demon, upon which it prepared to kill Travas. Travas wasn't easily fooled, however, for he made a quick aerial recovery and uses the Soul Reaver to slice the demon's body in two from its left shoulder to right hip.

"Travas, watch out", Umah shouted, causing Travas to turn around, only to be met by a fierce punch in the muzzle by Infernum himself, thus sending him towards the farthest burning Lookout within the area. Thankfully, However, Vorador manages to catch him as the vulpin looks upon him in a thankful gesture.

"Thanks, Vorador", Travas thanked as Vorador turns to face the approaching wolf demon.

"It isn't a problem, Travas. But you must get back into the battle at once", Vorador ordered just as Infernum arrives and fires an energy blast upon them both. But before contact, Travas manages to deflect the ball of energy away from them and the burning town itself. But within a moment, Infernum immediately strikes Travas with a ferocious knee kick in the stomach, sending him flying towards a higher mountain just above the burning Lookout. Before Travas could recover, Infernum uses his elbow and strikes upon the vulpin's gut, thus taking the breath out of him as the wolf grabs a hold of the vulpin's neck.

"Though this place may be suitable for you to die, we cannot continue our battle with such interferences and confined space, don't you agree, Travas?" Infernum asked while smirking towards the vulpin's injured state.

"What do you mean", Travas asked suspiciously.

"Allow me to show you", Infernum said as he grabs upon Travas' shoulders. Within a moment they become engulfed into a green-colored aura and disappear from the face of Nosgoth. As a response, Umah and the other Vampires look upon the direction where smoke could be seen, showing the former position where Travas and Infernum were once located.

"Travas", Umah yelled as the others continue to fend off the horde of demons that lay waste upon Uschtenheim and its townsfolk.

"Umah, we cannot worry about your boyfriend at this time. We must focus on wiping out the remainder of the horde at once", Janos clearly suggested as Umah reluctantly nods in response. Despite her worries about her beloved, she continues to fight against the surviving horde of demons, hoping she and the others could rid them before Travas and Infernum returned.

*Somewhere within another Dimension*

The storms continue to grow stronger amongst the green, cloudy skies within the new dimension. With a sudden bolt of energy, Travas and Infernum appear before the newfound place as they fly above the foggy wasteland. Not too far from their position, they notice a recently rebuilt metallic platform along with a square shaped ring floating below it and head towards the place. Soon they land amongst the metallic ring platform within ten feet from each other and face one another in the process.

"This may not be the best place to continue our battle. However, it is more suitable for us since it's rather easier to avoid such distractions we were dealing with in Uschtenheim", Infernum claimed while preparing for battle.

"I suppose", Travas admitted, surprising the wolf demon in response. "But there is something I must ask, Infernum. Why teleport the both of us to the place where Kain fought the final battle against the Hylden/Sarafan Lord and defeated him four years ago", Travas asked curiously, yet seriously as he continues to keep a sharp eye on the wolf demon.

"Simple, really… I merely wished to continue the fight within a more demonic environment", Infernum answered as he summons forth his energy blade once again. "And why not choose the demonic dimension in which the Hylden reside, banished from Nosgoth and hoping to return to former home once more", he continued before he instantly sprints towards Travas. At the same time, the vulpin prepares the Reaver as he, too, sprints towards his enemy. Just like in Uschtenheim, the two opposing forces begin to clash at one another with their swords armed for only one purpose: to kill.

As the two warriors continue to clash, they begin to hear the faint cries of the Hylden race below the platform they now reside upon. Within mere moments, the two clashing warriors jump into the air and take the battle into the dimension's green, stormy skies above. Soon, the clashing forces begin using both their swords and their energy blasts against each other, cancelling the each other's attack with each blast they make. During this time, both warriors start to use their energy to enhance their blades, thus enabling to shoot fireball-like projectiles at one another.

With their blades enhanced by their energy, Travas starts to use slash-like projectiles against Infernum, who has been using his energy based blade to slash and dissipate the bladed projectiles the vulpin hurled towards him. Soon, however, Infernum starts committing the same act as the two begin to cancel each other's projectiles out. Suddenly, however, one of their projectiles collides with each other and sets off an explosion so intense that some of the surrounding mountains started to crumble as if they have caved in among themselves.

"Uh-oh, this doesn't look too good. If we keep fighting within the Hylden Dimension, the dimension itself might collapse… and that includes the possibility of the Hylden escaping this place", Travas thought while continuing to fight against the wolf demon. "Looks like I may have to continue fighting Infernum with caution", he continued thinking while defending himself against the Infernum's vicious attacks.

As the battle continues to rage on, both warriors begin to hear the sound of battle chants below them. As soon as the two warriors start hearing the chants, they notice that steel platforms rise from the foggy dimension below, containing large numbers of the Hylden race sitting in the seats. Thus, the human-like demonic crowd looks upon the two clashing warriors with excitement in their eyes.

"All Hail, Infernum, Savior of the Hylden race", the Hylden Crowd chanted proudly while roaring and raising their fists in the air. In response, Infernum began to smirk upon Travas as he hears the chants of the Hylden race crying out his name with loyalty.

"I see that you have quite a fan base here, Infernum", Travas claimed.

"How so", Infernum asked with a smirk on his face.

"It's obvious since the Hylden race seems to have a precious liking to you", Travas spoke as Infernum's smirk widens eagerly and proudly.

"It has its perks, fellow warrior", Infernum said before forming yet another energy blade over his left arm, causing Travas' eyes to slightly widen in calm surprise.

"Am I being too much of a nuisance that you had to summon another energy blade just to catch up towards my level of skill", Travas mocked, causing Infernum to look upon at him with an annoyed expression on his face.

"To catch up towards your level of skill, no… but being a nuisance, yes, and this shall aid me in my ambition towards defeating you", Infernum replied as he instantly flew towards Travas and began using both of his blades to strike upon him. Though Travas became challenged by this, he still manages to block all of his attacks using the Soul Reaver and dodge if necessary.

As the battle continued on, the Hylden crowd continues to cheer for their former Colonel they've had in the past. At the same time, Infernum manages to strike upon Travas successfully, cutting his sleeveless shirt and slicing upon his muscular torso. Thus, the attack left a scar that ran from his upper left part of his chest to his upper right part of his abs. In response to the sudden attack, Travas looked upon the demon with seriousness in his eyes as he flew towards him while removing his sleeveless short from his torso. Then, he summoned a blue colored energy that covered the Soul Reaver blade and began to strike upon Infernum once again.

While Travas continues to attack the demon swiftly, many of the Hylden people start to look towards him with intrigued eyes, amazed at his speed and fiery ambition in him. As he continues trying to strike against the demon, a few people of the Hylden race start to cheer on towards the vulpin. Because of this, Travas' ears perk up while successfully striking the wolf demon by firing an energy-based strike at his chest and removing his right arm in the process. Then he looks down towards the small Hylden that cheered him on as he gives a surprised look at them.

"This is a surprise… I didn't expect a few people from the Hylden race to be cheering me on at this moment", Travas thought in a surprised manner as he turns to see Infernum grasping onto the place his right arm was severed. Then he smirks in delight as Infernum began grunting in agonizing pain.

"Damn you… you're going to pay for that, you damned fool", Infernum yelled just before he fires a powerful shot towards his opponent with a fireball shaped projectile from his left energy blade. However, Travas effortlessly dodges the attack as he smirks towards the wolf, seeing him bleed badly from his severed arm.

"So tell me, Infernum, how much do I owe you in medical expenses", Travas joked while slightly chuckling, thus annoying the wolf demon badly as he dissipates his energy blade and forms a massive ball of energy in the palm of his hand-paw.

"You owe me a new right arm, you vile prick. Or in this case, your life", Infernum answered viciously as he immediately throws the energy ball towards Travas, upon which he raises his hand-paws as an attempt to deflect the intensifying attack.

Within a few moments, the attack itself comes into contact with Travas' hand-paws as the vulpin tries to deflect the attack as best as he could. Unfortunately however, the attack began to consume him as Infernum smirks in delight upon seeing the attack obliterate Travas whole. Suddenly, however, Travas manages to briefly summon the purple-red colored energy he had famously used in some of his past battles to dissipate the massive energy ball. Though Travas successfully destroyed the attack, he was weakened and partially injured by the attack. Thus, the Hylden crowd continues to roar loudly in Infernum's favor as the wolf demon smirks confidentially.

"It seems that the crowd has cheered in my favor once again", Infernum said as he summons a green colored aura around his body while holding onto his severed arm, upon which the bleeding had abated. "However, I see that this place is of no further use for me. And because of this, it is time that I leave you amongst this place, from which you shall die upon this god forsaken land by the Hylden race" he continued while chuckling and smirking as he begins to finalize his teleportation technique.

"I don't think so, Infernum!" Travas exclaimed as he flew towards Infernum with great speed. "You can forget about leaving me here! I'm not going to die without a fight", he continued before tackling the wolf demon within the moment he teleports from the Hylden Realm and towards a new dimension.

*Back in Uschtenheim*

With the demonic armies rising within the hour, the Vampire Resistance continues to do whatever they could to fend them off as the townsfolk of Uschtenheim continue to flee towards the east. As Umah and Janos continue battling the remnants of the horde, they notice another wave of demons approaching from within the Northern Mountains. Thus, the two vampires slay the remainder of the current horde and turn their sights on the approaching wave. Shortly, the remainder of the Vampire Resistance arrives to aid Umah and Janos against the approaching horde of demons.

"Vorador, were you and the others able to find the whereabouts of Travas or Infernum", Janos asked while preparing to fight against the approaching horde of demons.

"We have not, Sire, but I it looks like you can use a bit of help yourself", Vorador answered as he and the remainder of the Resistance get into their fighting positions. Thus the Vampires draw their weapons and wait for the approaching demons to arrive within the burning town of Uschtenheim.

"Travas… please stay safe", Umah thought within her mind as a sense of anxiety briefly begins to overcome her. Shortly, however, she overcomes the feeling as the vampires start sprinting towards the new oncoming horde of demons, upon which the final battle between the Vampire Resistance and Infernum's demonic army would begin.

*Somewhere within a different Dimension*

Black clouds and stormy skies rule upon the floating lands within the dimension. Inside the dimension, the land consists of an ancient floating stone platform with other curved platforms floating around it like a staircase. Amongst the middle of the main land contained what seemed to me a man-made planetary system consisted of gold and stone. Lastly, the giant floating boulders appear to be rotating around the stone land like the moon rotating around the earth.

Within a moment, Infernum and Travas arrive amongst the new land, with the vulpin tackling the wolf demon. This, in turn, causes the demon to crash onto the Main Floating Land nearby a small one room temple. The vulpin then stands up and dusts himself off his clothing as Infernum also gets back onto his feet-paws as well. Before the fight could continue, Travas begins surveying the new dimension he and the demon currently bestow upon with amazement, yet confusion on his face.

"By the maker… where the hell are we", Travas asked with astonishment upon seeing the floating lands as Infernum looks at him with a serious expression.

"We are in one of the dimensions created by the same architects of the Eternal Prison aeons ago, and here we stand in one of the most complex dimensions of all", Infernum answered while getting back into battle position. "Now then, let us continue where our battle has left off", he spoke as Travas gets into his fighting stance.

"With pleasure", Travas replied as the two warriors fly towards each other with intense speed. Upon the moment of collision, the two warriors start flying upward into the air, striking upon one another with their blades at hand.

While swords continue to clash at one another, energy blasts were also continuously being shot at from multiple areas of the Dimension. As this continues to happen, rotating boulders and parts of the floating platforms continue to be blasted into fragments, crumbling like dust blown into the wind. From where the battle seemed to be going, it looks that Travas is starting to have the upper hand against Infernum, who has begun to show signs of weariness throughout his entire body.

Despite Infernum's body turn turning against his will, almost about to give up on him like a weary machine, the wolf demon chooses not to give up and continues fighting. With this opportunity open, Travas makes one final strike with the Reaver against the demon's torso, slicing it open as the vulpin fiercely punches him towards the ground. Within a mere second, the wolf demon crashes onto the main floating platform as Travas lands within a few feet from his position, preparing the Reaver for the final blow.

"Any last words before I send you back to hell", Travas asked as he smirks upon the fallen wolf in delight. However, his expression changes into a confused one after he began hearing Infernum chuckling towards his question.

"Travas, Travas, Travas…" Infernum spoke before getting back up onto his feet-paws. "You really have no god damn idea about how far my capabilities can go, do you?" he asked while smirking towards the confused vulpin.

"What do you mean", Travas asked suspiciously.

"Allow me to show you", Infernum answered as he starts to summon forth a green colored aura around his body. As he starts, he screams out powerfully with his arm and legs spread out. Thus, he summons forth energy with such intensity that it literally began to shake the Main Floating Land almost immediately. Then within a prolonged minute and much effort, Infernum's severed right arm grows back to the place it once was, looking as if the vulpin never severed it from the wolf demon's body. Thus, Travas looks towards the wolf demon's newly formed right arm with shock and some horror on his face.

"What… that impossible… I severed his arm from his body… and here he is using his energy to grow a new one to replace the original", Travas thought with a shocking sense of horror as Infernum looks at him and smirks in delight.

"Aw, what ails you, Travas? Have you seen a ghost", Infernum sarcastically asked. "Or is there some other source of fear that resides within you, which the same reason why you look so horrified at this moment", he continued as he begins to chuckle with sadistic satisfaction as Travas starts to look towards the demon with calm rage.

"So it seems that you had this all planned out, haven't you? And by doing so, you started building up energy as I was trying to strike you down with the Reaver. And when the time came, you decided to exert some of the energy by regenerating your arm and become stronger from the same source", Travas assumed as he gets into his battle position and smirks with confidence. "And because of this, I'm eager to see how much stronger you've gotten since your arm has regenerated", he continued as Infernum looked upon him with eagerness in his eyes.

"With pleasure", Infernum spoke as the two warriors fly towards each other once again. This round, however, has intensified dramatically as Infernum strikes the vulpin viciously and with powerful strength. Because of the wolf's newfound strength and newly regenerated arm, the demon began to give Travas a hard time when making his moves against him. In a similar notion, the demon starts to pierce through the vulpin's defenses and injuring his body in the process.

With the fight progressing in the wolf's favor, Infernum summons his two energetic blades from his hand-paws and aimed to strike upon Travas. However, Travas uses the Soul Reaver blade to block the wolf's attacks as much as he could. Though it seemed that the wolf was going to break through Travas' defenses, the vulpin quickly summons some energy from the Reaver and fires a fireball-like projectile towards Infernum's chest. Thus, Infernum was blasted towards one of the rotating boulders behind the wolf and violently crashes onto the stone surface.

Though Travas had found a small sense of relief within that moment, the wolf manages to recover without the slightest sign of injury upon his body. The wolf demon looks upon the vulpin from the distance and teleports towards his opponent eagerly, managing to land a fierce knee-kick on his stomach. This in turn takes the breath out of Travas as he was knocked towards one of the Floating Stair-like Platforms, crashing upon it on his back. Before Travas was able to recover, Infernum teleports towards him and strikes upon the vulpins upper back, causing him to painfully crash onto the Main Floating Platform below.

As Travas tries to stand back up from the vicious crash, Infernum begins to descend from the sky and land just within a mere seven feet from his position. The wolf smirks upon him in satisfaction, seeing that Travas had sustained a vast amount of bloody injuries from the crash. In a similar manner, he also begins to chuckle proudly at the work he was able to do against the vulpin.

"Well, well, well… it seems you have finally managed to comprehend what I am truly capable of doing. How unfortunate, however… for it seems I have other objectives that must be done. But I will make this quick and kill you where you reside", Infernum said with an evil grin on his muzzle as Travas continues attempting to get back onto his feet. But so far, however, he has barely managed to even get onto his knees as Infernum merely laughs upon his efforts. "And look at you now; you can hardly even get back up onto your knees because to your injuries… how pathetic. But I shall admit that you have managed to put up a good fight until this moment. And now I must strike the hand of death upon you at last… and I do hope you have a pleasant time in hell, fellow warrior", he claimed while smirking upon him. Suddenly, however, Travas began to chuckle as Infernum looks at him with confusion.

"Are you sure about that, Infernum?" Travas asked slightly mockingly as he smirks and looks at him with his determined, emerald-green eyes. "Because last time I checked… I had a hell of a lot more tricks up my sleeve", he claimed as he summons up his famed purple-red colored energy before darting towards the wolf, instantly decking the wolf on his face and muscular stomach, sending him towards the nearest rotating boulder that came by.

After the sudden crash, Travas flies towards the wolf and began punching him fiercely and endlessly, bruising him with some of his attacks. Then after a quarter of a minute of endless beatings, Infernum suddenly grabs a hold of Travas' neck and began to strangle him immensely. As a result, his purple-red colored aura dissipates from his body as the wolf demon tightens his grip around his neck.

"Did you really think I would fall for such a trick, Travas", Infernum asked calmly, but furiously while tightening the grip around his neck, causing him to struggle as an attempt to get free. "It's such a shame that such good talents must go to waste. Now be gone and suffer for all of eternity within the depths of hell", he continued while summoning a fiery green aura that starts to burn the vulpins body.

As the vulpin's body continues to burn, Infernum chuckles eagerly upon his agonizing screams, so much so that he literally starts to laugh hysterically upon his dying body. The evil smirking expression that was once on his face soon began to change into a confused one as he notices the body turn into energy floating back diagonally to the right. He instantly looks towards that direction in which he saw the real Travas was flying as the energy came back to him, thus healing some of the wounds the vulpin had sustained. Almost immediately, Infernum's shot-opened eyes looks at him in shock as Travas began to chuckle at his shocked expression.

"What is the meaning of this", Infernum asked furiously as he manages to pull himself out of the floating boulder and look towards him with rising anger. "Explain yourself", he demanded loudly and furiously.

"Heh, heh, it's one of my tricks I've been valuably practicing on that I've mastered and has come in handy over the past couple of years", Travas explained while smiling and chuckling. "And thank the maker I was able to foresee Maxwell 'Copycat' Manx's future and learning his ability in time, or otherwise I would be having a hell of a harder time defeating this asshole", he thought as Infernum gets into his battle position.

"So you desire to fight like this, huh? Very well then, I'll still defeat you regardless of how many clones you generate from your body", Infernum spoke as Travas smirks upon the wolf in delight.

"Alright, if that's what you wish to do", Travas replied as he began to summon forth a bit of energy while the wolf waited for him to finish. One by one, clones were produced in the same energy summoning position that Travas was in side by side. Within another fifteen seconds, Travas finishes the clone summoning technique, having eight other copies of him flying by his side just as Infernum smirks in delight.

"Now that you have generated your clones, how about we continue our match at once", Infernum said as he teleported towards the heart of the Main Floating Platform.

"As you wish", Travas replied before Infernum teleports towards the Main Platform below.

From the moment he teleports towards the Main Floating Platform below, Travas and his eight clones fly towards the wolf demon eagerly as the clones prepare energy blasts within the palms of their hand-paws. Infernum had also reforms his energy blades as the clones spread out and throw their blasts at him. However, the wolf uses his blades to deflect them like a baseball bat hitting the baseballs out of the field. Once of the clones from the wolf's right side manages to land a fierce strike on his face, hurling the demon towards the lowest Floating Stair-like platform. But before the Impact, the wolf manages to make an aerial recovery and flies towards the same clone with his energy blades ready to kill.

Although the demon came close towards the clone, two other clones step in and land a few fierce kicks on his back, causing him to crash onto the stone ground face first. The two clones instantly began to chuckle upon their success until they hear the wolf chuckling, becoming confused as the demon turns to face them with demented eyes. Then all of the sudden, he fires a powerful green colored energy blast upon the two clones, dissipating them into energy that return to the real Travas within the middle Floating Stair-like Platform above.

With the demon turning to face the real Travas, he instantly begins to fly towards him with his energy blades ready to strike. Suddenly, the wolf was once again met with a mixture of energy blasts and powerful physical attacks from three other clones coming from various directions. Though the three clones have managed to put up a strong fight against the demon and cause injuries on him, Infernum begins to have the upper hand against them by striking them down with his energy blades. One by one, the three clones were sabotaged badly until they dissipate into energy and return to their vulpin creator, thus revitalizing some of his former strength once more.

With the three clones destroyed, Infernum turns to the real one and flies towards the vulpin at a hastily pace. Shortly, however, the demon was met with a powerful bright blue colored energy blast on his left side, thus covering the wolf in smoke. When the smoke dissipates, he turns to his left and sees the final clone laughing upon him jokingly, causing the demon growl in rage as a response.

As the clone continues to laugh upon him, the raging wolf summons forth a powerful ball of energy towards the palm of his hand-paws. At the same time, the clone jumps back onto his feet-paws and begins to summon forth a ball of energy on his right hand-paw, preparing to throw it at the moment it finishes gathering energy. Then with furious rage coursing his body, Infernum throws the powerful ball of energy towards the clone as he does the same for the demon. Though both attacks were powerful, the demon's attack prevails and manages to dissipate the clone's energetic attack before dissipating the clone himself. Thus the clone turns into energy and gives it back to the real Travas as Infernum looks at him once more.

"Well, now… I have to admit that your clones managed to put up a good fight against me. However, I believe that I must return the favor in surprising you for a change, don't you agree", Infernum asked as Travas looks at him in a confused, but suspicious manner.

"What do you mean", Travas asked suspiciously while cocking a brow at him in a confused state. Suddenly, Infernum places his left hand-paw on his right shoulder and began to summon forth a bright green colored aura to cover their bodies.

"Allow me to show you… so you can see for yourself", Infernum answered as he used his teleportation abilities to leave from the damaged dimension, upon which they would head for the next dimension that Infernum believed would surprise the vulpin.

*Within Uschtenheim*

With the night reaching towards its peak, the bloody battle between the Vampire Resistance and the legion of demons continue on ferociously. Celestia and Umah continue to evacuate the remainder of the survivors from the burning town of Uschtenheim while the other three vampires take care of the remaining demons as best they could. Suddenly, and against their luck, another wave of giant, brown colored fiery demons suddenly appear at the heart of the town, with their burning energy attacks ready to blow.

"Damn it, that's all we needed! Another wave of demons", Celestia spoke sarcastically. "Where the hell is Travas when we need him", she continued with frustration in her tone while the demons begin approaching the two female vampires. Both get into their battle positions and prepare to fight the final horde of demons while evacuating the townsfolk from the apparent battlefield.

"I do not know where he is at the moment… but I do know that we must fend them off long enough for the others to escape", Umah replied while looking towards the approaching demons with anger and hatred, even though she was worried about her beloved vulpin. "Travas… wherever you are… I hope you continue to survive until you make your return back into Nosgoth once more", she thought as she and Celestia sprint towards the brown fiery demons with their blades at hand, hoping to slaughter them before everything in Uschtenheim gets worse than it already is.

*Somewhere within another Dimension*

The lights within the interior of the Stadium were barely dim all around, with the exception of the square tile Arena Stage being bright upon the surface. That soon began to change, though for a brief moment, when two clashing warriors crash onto the square Arena with sheer force, creating a small crater on the tile surface. The two warriors quickly stand back onto their feet-paws and stand before the surface of the Arena, with the vulpin looking around the interior of the Stadium with confusion on his face.

"Infernum, where the hell did you take us now", Travas asked curiously while surveying his surroundings. Yet for some strange reason, he began to notice that some of the features looked familiar to him as Infernum smirks upon him in response.

"Do you not recognize this place, Travas", Infernum asked with a smirking grin on his face. "I would think that you would've recognized this place since we are within one of the most glorious Stadiums, with the interior containing such marvelous intergalactic architecture of its time", he explained as Travas looks around the place closely until he made enough observations to where he could make out where they were at. Thus, his eyes shoot wide open upon recognition, knowing well where they were at as he looks at the starry sky above. And there, he sees the depths of outer space from beneath glass barrier protecting his homeland from its vacuuming tortures.

"We're in the Veron Opus Stadium on Alopex… why here and how is it that you know about this place", Travas asked shockingly as he turns his sights to the wolf demon, who had been chuckling upon him for his recognition of the place they lie within.

"Correct you are, Travas", Infernum answered. "And to answer your question, I figure that we continue our fight here since I have watched the battle between you and Zepherus on this very Arena Stage within the shadows above during the Tenth Annual Alopex Martial Arts Tournament", Infernum explained while he and Travas get into their battle positions. "Now then, shall we continue where we left off", he asked with a grin on his face.

"Yes", Travas answered eagerly at the moment he and Infernum start darting towards each other. The two quickly begin to strike against each other with their blades at hand, creating shockwaves within the Stadiums interior.

With the battle growing intense, the two clashing forces begin exerting fireball and slash like projectiles at one another, intensifying the Arena so much that the ground inside starts to shake. Travas began to notice this and quickly switches to the strict use physical attacks with the Soul Reaver to help avoid the authorities from noticing the ongoing battle. In a similar manner, Infernum smirks as he starts striking upon the vulpin at a physical level just to play by his rules to an extent. Travas hoped he could lessen the intensity of the attacks by keeping them to a physical level. Yet ironically, however, that made it far worse than he expected as each attack they make increases the intensity of the violent shaking.

Upon noticing the ongoing problem, Infernum flies away backwards from Travas as the vulpin lands onto the Arena Stage, panting from slight exhaustion. The vulpin quickly notices the wolf summoning forth his bright green energy on both of his hand-paws, coiling around them as he slightly spreads them away from his waist. Thus, Travas starts growling angrily upon seeing Infernum summoning his energy as the vulpin gets into battle position within short notice.

"Infernum, what the hell are you doing", Travas asked with calm rage while the wolf looks down upon him, chuckling as the energy around his hand-paws continue to grow stronger.

"I am merely playing one of the cards in my hand", Infernum answered as he raises his arms upward and pushes the energy from around his hand-paws into a massive ball of energy hovering above him. "And I must give you fair warning that this is going to, how I should say this, a blast", he claimed as he hurls the massive ball of energy towards Travas with massive speed.

Out of desperation, Travas quickly forms a ball of energy of his own and throws it towards the opposing energy sphere, causing the two to clash and push each other back and forth. Both warriors continue to push the opposing energetic spheres against each other until one or the other would explode, with Travas hoping that it wouldn't destroy the Stadium or exposing his existence as a living vampire, or possibly prevent it from destroying his home world.

*Inside the Starfox Family Home*

As the night arrives to Alopex, Travas Sr. and his mate, Victoria, finish putting their kits into bed and head towards their own bedroom. Upon entry, they went to their respective closets and changed into their usual nighttime outfits. Thus the two began to rest upon their bed comfortingly as Victoria turned off her lamp. Just as Travas Sr. was about to turn his off, however, Victoria looks upon him as he turned to face his mate.

"Travas, were you able to take out the trash by chance? You know the trash people are coming in the morning, right", Victoria asked as her beloved pre-mate gets out of his bed and puts his slippers on.

"I'll go take care of it, hon, you just get the rest you need", Travas Sr. replied before kissing his mate's lips briefly. He heads downstairs into the kitchen and grabs the trash bag from within the tin. Then he ties it up and heads out the front door with the bag in his right hand-paw. Just as he was about to place the bag into the Trash Bin on the curve, a Solarfox Strikeforce hover car pulls up onto the drive way. Then he looks upon it curiously as the driver, identified as Sgt. Reese, rolls down his window to look towards the slightly tiresome general.

"Taking care of the Trash, I see", Sgt. Reese asked while slightly grinning.

"Unfortunately I have a bad habit of forgetting to taking out the garbage", Travas Sr. answered. "So what brings you here at this time of night", he asked curiously.

"Apparently it seems that some residents nearby the Veron Opus Stadium are complaining about the ground shaking near their homes. It might be possible that some of the roadies are probably testing their amplifications a bit too intense again", Sgt. Reese explained just a moment before an explosion suddenly occurs within the Stadium interior, causing the two vulpins to look towards the place in shocking surprise.

"And I don't suppose that this has to do with the Roadies again, do you", Travas Sr. replied with a calm sense of shock, looking upon the Stadium with Eyes shot wide open. "You go on ahead and investigate the incident. I'll get dressed and meet up with you shortly", he continued as Sgt. Reese nods and pulls out of the driveway, turning to face the Stadium and driving towards it, upon which faint cries of the nearby residents can be heard.

Upon the moment he left, Travas Sr. immediately runs back into his house and straight up into his room. From the moment he enters the bedroom, Victoria look at him strangely as she watches him getting dressed into his general status Solarfox Strikeforce uniform. Soon enough, he puts his shoes on and heads for the door, but Victoria places her left hand-paw onto his left shoulder before he could leave the room, causing the general to turn and face his wife.

"Travas, where are you going and what was that noise", Victoria asked as he turns to face her. Before he could answer her question, another explosion coming from the Stadium suddenly goes off as he and his mate turn towards the Stadium's direction.

"That's what's going on, hon. I need you to stay here and keep an eye on the kits until I return, do you understand", Travas Sr. calmly ordered as Victoria, though reluctantly, nods at him.

"Ok… but please stay safe", Victoria replied before planting a kiss on his lips before he turns back to the hallway. As he was walking hastily towards the stairs, a tiresome, yet alert Scarlet and Erica look curiously towards their father, wondering what was going on. But before any of them could ask, Victoria pats their shoulders gently and puts them back to bed once more.

With a sudden urgency of going to the Stadium, Travas Sr. opens the door leading to the garage and enters inside the black Dodge Challenger hover car before him. He starts the engine and opens the Garage door, backing out into the cool steel streets before him. Within the moment Travas Sr. backs out into the street, the vulpin general presses the gas pedal and accelerates towards the Stadium with fast, yet careful acceleration, hoping to find answers about what was going on. But what he didn't know was that the cause of the explosions was coming from his newly living vampuric son and one of Nosgoth's elite demons, whom were battling within the interior of the Stadium itself.

*Inside the Stadium, within the Arena*

From the residents complaining over the ground strangely shaking to explosions causing the people nearby the Stadium to panic and call for help. With the authorities on the way to investigate, Travas and Infernum continue their horrific match against each other. This time, however, they merely keep the attacks to hand to hand combat to avoid any further damage to the Arena itself. But inside, the warriors could hear faint sounds of the Residents nearby panicking over the explosions happening inside.

"Damnit… if this match keeps going for much longer, the authorities might actually arrive at the Stadium and see what the hell's going on", Travas thought while blocking as many of Infernum's attacks as he possibly could. "If I keep fighting here, the authorities, even my parents and siblings, will end up finding out about my resurrection and what I've become. I have to find a way to defeat this guy and get him to teleport us out of here before they arrive", he continued thinking as he was suddenly met with a fierce knee strike on his stomach and another fierce punch on his back, knocking him to the synthetic grassy ground before him and creating another crater in the process.

"Travas, though you have fought valiantly against me, it is time that I kill you where you lie", Infernum spoke as he raised his arms above his head, forming another massive ball of bright green colored energy that coiled around his hand-paws. "WOLF FANG EXPLOSION", he exclaimed as he threw the beam upon Travas, exploding the area around the vulpin as he was engulfed by the energetic attack as Infernum slowly descends towards the tile ground once again.

Upon the moment he lands, the wolf begins to summon forth the green energy used to allow his teleportation technique to initiate. This time, however, he was having trouble with summoning the amount of energy he required to teleport from there. Thus, the wolf begins to pant heavily during the process in which the energy would be summoned. Within a matter of minutes and through harsh struggling, the smoke began to abate as the wolf saw Travas lying on the ground unconscious from the attack.

"Blast… I expected the attack to destroy his body to its entirety… but nevertheless; I have defeated him at last", Infernum thought while he struggles to summon the energy he needed to teleport from Alopex.

With luck turning against him, he heard the sounds of the authorities running through the Stadium halls and shouting in the process. Soon, the shouts became louder as Infernum looks toward some of the nearby vending machines and used his telekinetic ability to move them over the doors, barricading himself within the Arena. Then, the authorities begin to bang and push against the doors by means of attempting to break through the barricade.

"Damnit… I have to make haste if I wish to escape from this place. Otherwise, if I do not, I will be captured by these vulpine authorities in my weakened state. And I won't be able to transport myself from this place until my weariness abated" Infernum thought as the banging and pushing became fiercer.

As the banging and pushing became louder and more apparent, Travas begins to awaken from his state of unconsciousness and looks towards the barricaded doors to his right. He then gets onto his knees as he looks upon the doors with eyes shot open, discovering that the authorities have arrived. All he could do now was gaze at the doors in which the authorities are currently trying to break through, seeing a few fingers managing to grab a hold of the sides of both doors.

"Shit…! I gotta get out of here and quickly before they break through the barricades", Travas thought as he looks towards Infernum, who has almost summoned forth enough energy to escape Alopex. "And it looks like I might've found my ticket outta here… but I only have one chance to do this, so I have to make this count", he continued thinking as he begins to summon forth his famed purple-red energy, allowing him to get back onto his feet-paws.

As Travas and Infernum continued powering up, A few of the authorities manage to get the door open, yet continued to push the door in an out to move the vending machines out of the way. Within a few moments passing, Infernum smirks upon himself and to the vampuric vulpin as he gathered the energy he needed. But his smirk slowly began to fade as Travas also summoned enough energy to make his next move.

"You redundant fool, I have enough energy to make my escape from this wretched place, and now it is time I make my departure. I hope you have fun dealing with the authorities you've once worked with", Infernum said with a grin as Travas begins to growl at him furiously and prepares to fly towards him. At the same time, the authorities have begun to move the vending machines slightly as a few arms began to pull through. As a response, Travas turns back to face the barricaded doors briefly in shock before turning to face the wolf with rage.

"I DON'T THINK SO, INFERNUM! YOU'RE NOT GOING TO DEFEAT ME THAT EASILY, YOU VILE BASTARD", Travas screamed as he instantly darts towards Infernum like a bullet. The wolf's eyes look upon the vulpin in shock as he manages to grab his arm at the moment he initiated the teleportation technique, thus disappearing from the face of Alopex itself.

Upon the moment they teleported out of the Stadium, the authorities finally manage to break through the barricades only to see no one inside except for some smoke along with the interior being highly damaged and the Arena nearly destroyed. With this, they gather enough evidence to show that a battle had occurred very recently and began taking photos of the site. At the same time photos were being taken, General Travas Sr. arrives upon the demolished scene, looking around the Stadium interior with shock and some horror as a response to the damage. Thus, he looks around to see that no suspects have been taken custody while approaching Sgt. Reese and Sgt. Kennedy with a calm sense of anger rising within.

"Sgt. Reese, Sgt. Kennedy, what evidence were you both able to find", Travas Sr. asked as the two looked at each other before looking back at the General.

"Well… other than the Stadium's interior almost being destroyed by what appears to be a possible battle occurring within this place, we have not been able to capture the suspects since they have found a way to escape from us", Sgt. Kennedy explained as Travas Sr. looked at him suspiciously.

"Are you both positive about this", Travas Sr. asked suspiciously, yet slightly angrily as he and the two sergeants enter the hallway.

"We're positive, Sir", Sgt. Reese answered as the General, though slightly annoyed, nods.

"I see…" Travas Sr. started before giving a calm sigh of frustration. "We will continue this investigation in the morning. But right now, I have to return home and get some much needed sleep", the general continued as he salutes the sergeants, with them doing so in return before walking away from the Arena. But after Sgt. Kennedy enters the Arena once again, Sgt. Reese turns and heads for General Travas Sr., who he himself turns around to look at the young sergeant curiously.

"General Travas!" Sgt. Reese exclaimed before stopping just a few feet in front of the curious general.

"Yes…?" Travas Sr. asked curiously.

"Um… are you sure your son's dead…?" Sgt. Reese asked nervously as General Travas cocks a brow at him.

"What do you mean, Reese…? My son has been dead for four cycles now", Travas Sr. responded while looking upon the young sergeant suspiciously, but curiously.

"Well, I could've sworn that I've… um… never mind, you go on ahead and get your rest, we can sort this out in the morning", Sgt. Reese spoke nervously as he salutes the General once more as he did to him in return. Then, the young sergeant turns around and runs back towards the Arena to help Kennedy gather some more evidence.

Though General Travas Sr. wanted to ask him questions regarding, he shrugs it off and walks towards the Stadium exit. But that didn't mean that thoughts about what the young sergeant said didn't course his mind. Within about five minutes of walking, he makes it to his hover car and puts the keys into the ignition, but did not turn them since something regarding what Reese said moments before began to bother him.

"I don't understand… why did Sgt. Reese ask if I was sure that my son was dead if he was murdered four cycles ago…? Scarlet told me herself that she saw her bother die in the fight between him and the three Felin Thugs. It doesn't make any sense", Travas Sr. thought as he turns the keys to the ignition and sighs heavily in a stressed manner. "I don't know… but I need to get my rest at once. But in the morning, I'm getting to the bottom of this at once… I wanna know what the kenal is going on", he continued thinking as he presses on the gas and drives back to his home, upon which he will acquire his rest and begin to investigate the question Sgt. Reese had asked him first thing in the morning.

A/N:

The Battle has begun, and the Vampire Resistance are the only ones that can stop Infernum's crusade for dominance over Nosgoth. However, it seems Travas was swept into various dimensions during his battle against the powerful dimensional demon, including the Hylden Dimension and his home world, Alopex. While on Alopex, many of the Solarfox authorities started responding as a result of the violent shaking caused by the battle between Travas and Infernum. But by the time they managed to break through Infernum's barricades, the warriors were gone. But that doesn't mean questions began to stir as a response, including to a particular officer named Reese. Where did Travas and Infernum teleport to? Will Infernum defeat Travas and gain dominance over Nosgoth? And what makes of Reese's suspicions regarding if Travas was truly dead or not? Find out in the next installments of 'Legacy of Travas'.
