Legacy of Travas

Chapter 23: Kain's Revenge

The rain begins to pour slowly over the land of Nosgoth and the fire burning within Uschtenheim starts to stagnate. But somewhere within the east, the infamous vampire, Kain, appears from within the Eastern Mountains and looks upon the burning town of Uschtenheim with suspicion. He starts to stroke his chin while looking towards Uschtenheim in flames, suspecting that a battle had just taken place.

"It seems a battle had taken place not too long ago… but between whom or what, I do not know. However, I must make my journey towards Avernus and reclaim the Reaver at once", Kain thought as he turns towards the direction in which Avernus lies, although questions began to stir in his mind regarding what happened. But nevertheless, he pushes his suspicious curiosities to the side as the veteran vampire began using his teleportation magic to transport himself towards the Cathedral at once.

From the moment he arrives within the chapel of the Cathedral, the vampire begins examining the interior for any signs of treachery or breaking and entering. Though he did not see anything unusual inside, he did suspect that something unusual went wrong within the interior of the chapel. And another strange thing was that the Mysterious Hooded Man was nowhere to be found, assuming that he either had other matters to take care of or had abruptly abandoned the Cathedral. However, he discovers that a portal had been opened, upon which lead to the chamber where the Reaver had been kept. While it may be unusual for the veteran vampire to feel a sense of uneasiness or anxiety creep within his skin, he immediately runs towards the portal and enters the ancient pathway.

While walking through the pathway, murals of an ancient war from the adversary's point of view are shown to the ambitious vampire as he sprints towards the chamber that lie ahead of him. Before he stumbles upon the twin doors, he looks upon the familiar portrait of the adversary's champion, who had pupil-less eyes and bore a flaming sword in his possession. After the vampire stares at the mural for a brief amount of time, he continues running towards the twin doors. He opens the doors and enters the remainder of the hallway, walking through it until he stumbles into the Chamber in which the Reaver was once kept. But upon discovery, Kain did not find the sword anywhere in sight, causing the ambitious vampire to begin looking around, hoping to find his prized possession within.

"I could have sworn I placed the Reaver floating slightly above the altar before my departure from this place to begin my training. Now what in the hell did that hooded man do with my prized sword now", Kain thought as he continues to investigate the area thoroughly, hoping that the Reaver would have been placed elsewhere.

To continue on with his search for the Reaver, he jumps down into the cloudy pit below. But upon landing, he only finds bones from bodies that were about four to five centuries old along with four massive sized gongs attached to the walls. Chilled and suspicious, he then teleports back to the altar with a troubling sensation and looks towards the smaller chamber nearby, hoping to find his prized weapon inside. Upon seeing the interior of the chamber, he does not see anything inside except for the bony throne that once belonged to the necromancer who brought him back to life four centuries ago. Thus, the vampire's eyes widen as he begins to growl in rage while clenching his fists tightly

"Blast! Thanks to that foolish man's lack of security, my prized weapon that I have won four centuries ago has been stolen from this chamber… stolen from me!" Kain shouted angrily while his body literally starts to spark in rage.

Within a brief moment he turns to the concrete fountain diagonally to his right and walks towards it with angered curiosity, seeing that the water inside was glowing. At first, he wasn't for sure why the water was glowing, or why there was water inside after all of these centuries. Then all of the sudden, an idea flows through his head and places a spell on the water contained inside.

"Perhaps this spell will allow me to see who had abruptly stolen the Reaver from this chamber. And with the information I acquire, I will hunt down the thieves and slaughter them like cattle inside a slaughterhouse", the veteran vampire thought as the spell began to work its magic, playing a visual inside the bowl. While looking upon the visual, he discovers that it had been Travas and Umah that took the blade from the chamber and escaped by teleportation. Despite the discovery, he was unsure of their current whereabouts. "So it was Umah and that blasted fox who stole the Reaver from my possession", he continued before dissipating the spell and runs furiously out of the chamber and into the hallway.

"I have had it with that damned vulpine! First, Umah steals the Nexus Stone from me in the Wharves while finding a way to get to the Hylden City. Then, Travas manages to defeat me without even making the slightest of efforts at the Great Southern Lake nearly four years ago. Now, he and that blasted girl infiltrated the Cathedral by some mysterious means I had unfortunately been unaware of and manage to steal the Soul Reaver from me", Kain thought as he spots the portal and goes through, re-entering within the Chapel once again. "I've had enough of those two pestilent vampires! It is time that I confront those two once again… and from there, I can settle the score between me and that wretched fox at last", the ambitious vampire continued thinking as he exits the Cathedral, setting his sights upon finding Travas and Killing him once and for all.

*Inside the Vampire Citadel, a couple of days later*

With the morning continuing to progress, Vorador, Umah, and Travas continue to walk towards Janos' Room near the Main Chambers. In a matter of a mere minute or two, the trio arrives at the entrance in which their sire rests within. They enter the room as Travas looks towards Janos in shock and horror, cupping his muzzle as he notices Janos' almost entirely bandaged body covered in a gray blanket. The only parts that were exposed were both his left shoulder and side of his face, the upper part of his left wing, and the left side of his chest.

"Oh my God…" Travas softly spoke just as he sits onto a nearby chair, with Umah holding onto him and burying her face in his right shoulder.

Although Travas was on the verge of breaking down into tears, he manages to contain them as he holds onto his girlfriend closely and comfortingly, with Umah holding onto him tightly in response. Almost immediately, the female vampire starts crying upon seeing Janos' nearly burned body. In response, the vulpin starts stroking the back of her head gently to provide comfort. Then Vorador walks towards the two as he placed his right hand upon Travas' left shoulder, causing him and his girlfriend to look upon him with saddened, but curious eyes.

"I understand how the both of you feel at this moment, and I can honestly relate… but it is time that we leave Janos to recover and continue our training", Vorador spoke as he starts walking towards the door.

After about a moment of regaining their composure, Umah and Travas begin standing from their chairs and walk for the door as well. But before they exit the room, the couple looks back at the unconscious body of Janos for a brief moment. Then with a sigh of sorrow, they leave the room in which Janos rests within and follows Vorador to the Training room below. Upon their arrival, the trio head straight for the changing rooms and change into their usual training clothes. Once they were properly dressed, the trio meets within the heart of the training room and begins to spar against one another.

For the remainder of the hour, the trio continues to train using the skills that they knew best when sparring against each other. Though they have done well against each other, Travas looks upon Umah's slightly depressed state as she descends towards the ground below, with the other two descending as well. The vulpin walks towards his vampuric girlfriend and holds onto her comfortingly, upon which she buries her face into his chest, trying her best to contain her tears.

"I can tell you're still worried about Janos", Travas spoke quietly while holding onto Umah comfortingly as she nods, while still buried his chest, in response. "Everything's going to be alright, my love… I promise", the vulpin softly spoke as his girlfriend looks towards his emerald green eyes and gives him a soft kiss.

"I know… but I'm still worried about him… what if he doesn't awaken from his coma", Umah softly, but worryingly asked a moment before Vorador places his right hand on her left shoulder, causing the female vampire to look at him with watery, but curious eyes.

"I know this is troubling you greatly, but he will awaken from his coma sometime soon, though I will say that I am unsure when exactly. But, in a manner of speaking, he is recovering from his injuries", Vorador spoke with a calm, yet small smile on his face, reassuring her that their sire will be okay.

"Thank you…" Umah quietly spoke while drying her fore coming tears and softly smiles upon them both.

"I do not know if this may help, but how about that the both of you go outside and enjoy the summer morning for a while. It might help clear your worrying minds and provide comfort for the two of you", Vorador spoke as Travas and Umah look towards each other. Thus the two softly smile at each other and looked back at the veteran vampire.

"That actually sounds like a good idea. What do you think hon", Travas asked while Umah softly smiled upon him.

"I love to, Travas. Let's head for our bedroom and we'll plan on where to go from there", Umah said before Travas kisses her forehead in response. Thus, the two grab a towel and dry themselves from the sweat dripping upon their bodies and head for their room, planning on what to do to relax from the sadness they faced with Janos' sudden coma.

*Within the Termogent Forest*

With the morning continuing to progress upon Nosgoth, the ambitious vampire, Kain, continues to roam within the heart of the Termogent forest. With rage trying to guide his way towards Travas and his girlfriend, Umah, he stumbles upon the abandoned mansion of where Vorador once lived. As a result, he enters the old mansion and uses it as a temporary hideout from the Sarafan Warriors hunting him down. In a similar manner, he would use the mansion as the place to execute both Travas and Umah by the guillotine when captured. In fact, it was the same one that Vorador had been executed by four centuries ago until his resurrection roughly a century or two later. Thus, the vampire smirks upon this while redecorating the place to suit him best.

*Within the Citadel*

Upon entering their bedroom, the vampuric couple looks towards their designated dressers and start looking for the proper outfits to dress in. After they find what their looking for, Travas gets dressed in a pair of black nylon shorts with blue stripes on the sides, a white tank top, and his black and white high-top converse shoes. As for Umah, she gets into a pair of solid black skintight leather short shorts, a grey spaghetti tank top, and her solid black converse shoes.

After getting changed, Travas grabs a few towels as well as some other swimming necessities. Likewise, Umah grabs a few vials of fresh demon blood and some fruit for the trip, as well as placing her and Travas' bathing suits inside. With everything packed and ready to go, the couple head for the Underground Chamber below, but manage to bump into Vorador on the way, stopping on their tracks almost immediately.

"I see that the two of you took my advice and are about to leave the Citadel. But might I ask where the two of you are headed for at this time", Vorador asked curiously upon seeing their summer clothing.

"We're headed for the northern part of the Great Southern Lake to spend a bit of time in the outdoors. Do you wish to come along?" Travas asked as Vorador shakes his head and holds his right hand up in refusal.

"I kindly appreciate your offer, but I cannot accept it for I must watch over our sire and ensure that he doesn't die", Vorador answered while the two nod in response. "I will, however, 'whisper' you both when he awakens from his coma or something unexpectedly comes up. In the meantime, you two have fun and enjoy your day in the outdoors", he continued as Travas and Umah softly smile at him. Thus the two continue walking towards the Underground Chamber, upon which their means of transportation was located.

Once the couple enters the Underground Chamber, they walk towards the motorcycle start placing their belongings in the side pouches. After the couple placed their belongings in the motorcycle pouches, they get onto the vehicle and drive through the tunnel leading them outside. They continue driving towards the exit until they could see the light, going through to get on the road. Thus they turn to the right and started driving towards the pathway leading to the Great Southern Lake.

Within a few minutes of driving, they began to see the ruined Pillars within their sights. Upon the moment they arrive the pillars of Nosgoth, however, they looked towards them and see three figures nearby. When they got closer, they say that it was Johnny and his family standing near a stainless steel space jet when the family noticed the couple approaching.

Johnny himself was dressed in his blue Canine Astro Officer jacket with golden-yellow printed wrists, left upper arm, shoulder stitching, and shoulders with black leather fingerless gloves on his hand-paws. His medals were on the right side of his chest as his name tag was on the left side. The gray vulpin's fur-matching hair, with the exception of his long bangs leaning towards the left side of his face, has been tied back in a black ponytail. He also wore a pair of black skintight jeans with his Solarfox Strikeforce belt put through the loops of his pants. Lastly, the gray vulpin's motorcycle boots were tucked into his jean leg openings.

While he was dressed in a mixture of military and heavy metal clothing, his family were dressed in their more favored professional attire. Alexia herself was wearing a black slim fitting neck strap dress with a diamond-shape cut on the stomach and the bottom part reaching just less than halfway above her knees. She also wore a pair of black leather heel boots to match her dressing style. Their toddler son, Dylan, was dressed in a cerulean blue collar shirt tucked into his black slacks. To match with his uniform, the toddler vulpin wore his black leather shoes to cover his feet paws. Thus, Travas and Umah look upon them curiously after they parked the motorcycle within ten feet from them and greet the family.

"Dressed in your Canine Astro Officer uniform, I see", Travas asked as he smirks towards his childhood friend.

"Yep, that seems to be the case, Travas", Johnny answered while rubbing the back of his head and smiling nervously. "It seems I was invited to the Solarfox Strikeforce Military Ball they're having at the Academy on Alopex. Plus the good old general wouldn't stop bragging about me attending, so I decided to go while taking my family with me to see Alopex for the first time", he explained.

"Of course, you know my old man well, Johnny. He tends to keep a close eye on you regardless if you're there or not", Travas joked while the two softly chuckle together.

"Without a doubt there, buddy", Johnny replied before he stops chuckling. "Well, my family and I have to get going. I'll 'whisper' you guys when we get back, alright", he spoke as Travas and Umah nod. Then, the couple gave him and his family a hug just before they start getting onto the ship. With the Space Jet ignition started, the family set off towards Alopex as Travas and Umah drive off towards the Great Southern Lake with haste.

*Within the Termogent Forest, Vorador's Former Mansion*

While Travas and Umah drive towards their destination, Kain continues work in redecorating the mansion until he was pleased with the results. In the process, he hunts down the remainder of the human and anthro maintenance within and slaughters them like cattle. When he kills them, he drinks a good portion of their life's blood. Though bloodthirsty, he uses another portion of the victims' blood to paint the walls, grinning evilly upon the results. Suddenly, he spotted another group of human and anthro warriors, heavily armed and ready to fight the ambitious vampire.

"There he is! The vampire that took the lives of most of our fellow guards and maintenance men", a Human Warrior shouted while drawing his sword.

"You're not going to get away from us that easy, Vampire", an Anthro Wolf yelled as he draws his bow-gun with explosive arrows equipped from the case behind his back.

"Back to hell with you", an Anthro Fox warrior shouted angrily in the moment he draws his heavy twin sided battle ax from its casing behind his back.

"So do you foolish warriors which to fight me from where you stand", Kain asked while smirking towards the warriors, who began sprinting towards him like athletes racing against one another. "Very well, if you wish to die upon this very hour, then come, and I will grant you all your deaths", the ambitious vampire spoke as he runs towards the small army of guards, slaughtering them one by one until they all lay upon the cold floor dead.

Once the remainder of the maintenance and guards were murdered, Kain drains the bodies of their life's blood to meet his blood thirsty hunger he craves dearly. He does, however, save some of the blood from the bodies to use as paint to redecorate the walls around him. Thus, he goes to find the closest paint brush and began painting the walls with the remaining blood of the fallen guards and maintenance people. While working, he could merely lick his lips in a blood thirsty satisfaction while laughing hysterically. This starts to become so apparent that he tosses the paint brush aside and began to pick up the blood filled buckets, splashing the blood at every unaffected spot he could find.

After he redecorated the mansion to his liking, he looks towards the direction upon which the Great Southern Lake lies. With his sight set upon this location, he begins to take his sweet time there by foot, going there by means of finding fresh blood upon the people swimming in the Lake's waters. Either that or he would hopefully find Travas and his beloved Umah and try to assassinate the two once more.

*The Great Southern Lake*

Within about fifty meters from the shores of the Great Southern Lake, the clear blue water can be seen thanks to the sunlight's reflection. But within a few moments, the vampuric couple arrives upon the shores and parks the motorcycle at a nearby tree. Travas unlocks the pouch and grabs the items they have brought towards the sandy shores and lays the blanket within ten meters from the vehicle and rest upon it relaxingly. Then the vulpin looks upon his girlfriend's eyes as she did with his.

"Is my sexy vampire up for a swim", Travas asked while smirking in a slightly seductive manner, causing the female vampire to giggle in response.

"Perhaps, but we must change into something more appropriate… and speaking of, I have something for you", Umah spoke while getting into the bag she packed herself. Within about five seconds she grabs out what seems to be a leopard print speedo she bought for her beloved. Upon seeing this, Travas couldn't help but smirk and chuckle in response, causing the female vampire to slightly blush.

"Eager to see me in a speedo, babe", Travas asked while smirking and raising a brow, causing Umah to blush harder and look upon him shy fully.

"To tell you the truth, hon… I have often imagined you wearing such a garment, especially of an exotic print such as this one", Umah answered with a shy, but slightly calm tone while continuing to blush. "Do you… do you think you could wear this… for me", she asked as she, for some strange reason, slightly starts to shake nervously, wondering what his answer might be while looking down towards the sandy ground she stood upon. Then to her surprise, he takes the garment while smiling as Umah smiles at him as well.

"Sure thing, babe… though I have to say that I've been killed by felins, I don't have a problem wearing exotically designed bathing suits like this." Travas replied while smirking. "Besides, I was in a need for a new bathing suit anyways. Thanks for the gift, beautiful", he continued as Umah jumps into his arms and kisses him lovingly. Then, she breaks the kiss and grabs hers from the same bag.

"Wait here for me… I must go behind the tree and change", Umah spoke as she ran for the tree nearby the motorcycle.

Almost immediately, the vulpin starts to strip down into the nude after reliving himself of his converse shoes, putting on the speedo with calm eagerness. With the new bathing suit he now wears, he smiles as he feels the comfort that the low rise speedo provided for his waist. But within a moment, Travas eyes shot wide open as he looks upon Umah's tiger print string bikini, seeing that her top was barely able to cover her breasts. In comparison, the thong itself was just small enough to cover her nether lips and then some. However, his shocked expression turned into a more seductive one as the vulpin looks at his woman in a slight lustful manner.

"I see you have a thing for wearing exotic printed bathing suits, don't you", Travas spoke slightly seductively as he smirks upon her, causing her to slightly smirk and blush at him at the same time.

"It seems you hit the nail right on the coffin, my beloved", Umah replied, licking her lips seductively while walking towards him, with her eyes directly gazing at his.

Within moments, she wraps her arms around his neck and plants a soft, yet eager kiss on his muzzle lips. In return, the vulpin wraps his arms around her waist lovingly. Within a few moments, they passionately deepen the kiss to the point where they began French kissing, causing Travas to lovingly move his hand-paws towards his girlfriend's rear. This, in turn, causes Umah giggle in pleasure as she continues to French kiss the vulpin passionately while placing her right hand upon his well-endowed package. But before she would place her hand into his speedo, Travas gently places his left hand-paw on Umah's corresponding arm, causing her to look upon him curiously.

"Hang on a second! I almost forgot why we came here in the first place", Travas said while softly grinning in delight, though Umah looks at him with odd curiousness.

"What do you mean", Umah asked curiously until the vulpin suddenly picks her up and holds her bridal style, causing her to squeal, wrap her arms around his neck and blush heavily as she looks upon his emerald green eyes once again.

"Allow me to show you, hon", Travas answered as he sprinted towards the water. But before he made contact, the vulpin jumps about twenty feet into the air and thirty feet across. "Cannonball", the vulpin shouted eagerly while holding onto his girlfriend tightly, yet gently as he gets into cannonball position.

Then within a sudden moment, the two crash within the Lake's waters, going about twelve feet deep as the two swim towards the water's surface. The couple then began to gaze at each other's eyes again for a brief moment, smiling as the vulpin floats upon his back. The vulpin then pats his muscular torso as an invitation for his beloved female vampire, allowing her to climb upon him. With Umah on top, she leans towards her vulpin boyfriend and plants a kiss upon him, allowing Travas to wrap his left arm around her lower back and place his right hand-paw on her cheek. Then, the two broke the kiss once again and look upon each other's eyes once more, smiling upon each other as Travas stroked Umah's cheek gently.

"I love you, Umah", Travas softly spoke and plants a kiss on her right cheek.

"I love you, too, Travas", Umah softly replied as she kissed the vulpin's muzzle lips gently once more.

As the day continues on, the couple swam within the Lake's clear blue waters, from splashing each other to making uniquely customized dives. When Travas noticed some of the vines hanging on a nearby tree, he instantly jumps out of the water and runs towards the vines themselves. With excitement flowing through his body, he runs off of a grassy hill with the vine in his hand and jumps into the water, making a ninety degree angle in the process before making contact with the water. When he resurfaced, he notices Umah laughing about something and slightly gave her a brow while softly smiling.

"What…? Did something happen", Travas asked curiously until he notices his leopard print speedo floating on the surface. Almost immediately, he began blushing heavily while grabbing his speedo and putting it back on underwater just as Umah grabs the vines. Thus, she ran through the same grassy hill and making the same ninety degree angle the vulpin had recently made. Upon the moment of contact with the water, Umah lands within a mere five feet from her beloved before resurfacing once again. Then like she did with him, she notices that Travas was laughing and raises a brow upon him.

"Travas, what seems to be the matter, why are you-", Umah almost finished asking until she suddenly realizes that her bikini top was floating on the surface in front of her. Thus she heavily blushes and immediately grabs the top, putting it back on while narrowing her eyes at him and smirking at the same time.

"It seems like the same thing that happened to me has happened to you", Travas answered while grinning in delight just as she began splashing him. "Hey", he exclaimed playfully as he begins to splash her as well. Then an idea came as he swam underwater and resurfaced right in front of her, causing her to giggle in response.

"Hehe, Travas, you are one crazy, yet handsome fox", Umah spoke while wrapping her arms around him, planting a kiss on his muzzle lips in the process.

"I know I am, babe", Travas flirted, causing Umah to blush heavily and kiss him slightly deeper than she previously did. Then suddenly, the vulpin wraps his girlfriend's arm around his neck and began to swim towards the shore. Thus, they return to the spot where they laid the towels at, with Travas lying on his back and Umah lying on his muscular torso, where the female vampire continues to kiss him lovingly. Within a moment, though, the vulpin starts to deepen the kiss to the point they were French kissing once again.

As the two continue to passionately kiss each other, Travas began to move both of his hand-paws towards her torso until they cup her breasts lovingly. Umah, in response, begins to moan softly in response to the pleasuring sensation that her vulpine boyfriend was providing her. Like Travas, Umah began to caress onto her boyfriend's muscular torso lovingly, causing him to give out a foxlike purr to the sensation he now feels. Soon, she moves her right hand down into his speedo to gently rub upon her beloved's hardening package contained within, allowing Travas to give out a moan in pleasure. In response to her touch, the vulpin places his right hand-paw inside her tiger print bikini thong, gently rubbing her nether lips contained within as the female vampire moans and raises her rear in satisfactory pleasure.

With the physical sensations reaching a higher level, Umah begins to lick Travas' chest while slowly removing his speedo. In turn, Travas moans with Umah's teasing licks upon his chest as she strokes his stiffening flesh between his legs lovingly. She continues to lick her way down his muscular torso until her tongue finally meets with his hardened length, gently licking the tip of it as Travas moans in pure pleasure. Soon the licking sensation stagnates as Umah begins to kiss the tip of his member gently, causing the vulpin to moan eagerly yet again. Then finally, Umah starts to gently wrap her lips around the tip and began to suck on it, slightly intensifying the pleasure flowing within Travas' body.

Upon the intensifying pleasure the vulpin feels within his body, the female vampire continues to bob her head up and down on well-hardened length as Travas continues his lustful, pleasurable moans while gently stroking the back of her head. Suddenly, Travas carefully leans forward and grabs his girlfriend's waist, causing Umah to softly squeal as the vulpin began undoing her thong and bikini bra. While Umah was sucking upon his length, the vulpin turns her waist towards his face until his muzzle meets with his girlfriend's wet nether lips. The vulpin instantly began licking her wet lower lips eagerly, sending pleasurable shockwaves that causes Umah to moan loudly as she sucks upon his hardening flesh. Eager to taste her honey, the vulpin starts to move his tongue about the walls of her nether lips, causing her vaginal muscles to clench upon his tongue while she starts moaning his name with ecstasy.

With Travas sending shockwaves of pleasure through her body, Umah continues sucking upon his hardening pole, using her tongue to swirl around his length. This sends intensifying shockwaves of pleasure through Travas' body, allowing him to use his tongue to explore the walls of Umah's sweet tight slit deeper. Soon, he feels his girlfriend's honey coil itself around his tongue as Umah feels his pre-essence leak into her mouth. Out of lust and greed, Umah starts to caress upon Travas' orbs between his legs with her left hand and uses her right hand to stroke upon his hardened, slippery pole while sucking on the tip. In a similar manner, Travas slides his tongue out and began to lick upon her wet slit while rubbing it, causing Umah to moan loudly as he did the same.

Finally, with the pleasure becoming too intense to handle, Travas releases his vanilla essence into Umah's mouth as she releases her sweet honey into his. After the two swallow all they could offer each other, Umah turns around until they were looking at each other's eyes, smiling as they inch closer to plant a kiss on each-other's lips. But before they made contact, Travas' ears suddenly perk up and looked towards the north-eastern direction. Thus, he begins to growl as he notices the ambitious vampire, Kain, stand before them once again, causing his growls to grow louder and more angrily.

"Kain", Travas growled angrily as Kain looks upon the two with an evil smirk on his face.

"Well if it isn't the legendary Travas Starfox and the Cabal's own Umah, the one I killed some four years ago. Though I must say that I am disgusted in seeing you both here committing such erotic acts on the Great Southern Lake's sandy shores, I am pleased to see the both of you here at this very hour", Kain spoke as Travas and Umah get up while redoing their swim wear.

"What the hell do you want this time, Kain?!" Travas shouted demandingly as Umah stands next to her beloved.

"To point out the obvious, I wish to fight and kill the both of you at this very hour and regain the Soul Reaver, the same sword in which you both have stolen from me", Kain answered as he gets into battle position. "Now let's drop the conversation and begin our battle at once", he demanded as Travas growls and raises his hand to stop him.

"Fine if that's what you want, then so be it. However, there's no way in hell I'm fighting you wearing this. Allow me and Umah to get back into our clothes from earlier before we begin our match", Travas said as Kain looks towards him suspiciously. With a sigh of frustration, he refrains from his battle position and reluctantly nods, knowing that he'd rather fight them fully clothed despite his hatred for them both.

"Very well… but if you try to escape from me, I will kill you before the moment of your first attempt", Kain replied as Travas and Umah reluctantly nod and grab their clothes nearby, heading for the nearest tree to change. Within a moment, they return in the clothes they were in when the couple arrived and head back to the location where Kain waits patiently, yet angrily for them.

"Now then, shall we begin our match", Travas spoke while he and Umah get into their battle positions.

"With pleasure", Kain answered as he instantly teleports towards Travas, unsheathing his claws and preparing for the kill. But Travas wasn't easily fooled, however, as he manages to catch and dodge his attacks with ease. Though the ambitious vampire wasn't making a single strike, he continues to smirk towards the vulpin as Travas looks at him oddly, wondering what he plans to do next.

Soon, all of the vulpin's thoughts were answered as Kain summons two red energy spheres in his hands, recognizing what the ambitious vampire was about to do. On the moment he raises his hands up; Travas grabs Umah and sprints towards a nearby shaded region. However, the object they hid behind was engulfed in flames as they manage to dodge the explosion just moments before they were ever affected by it. But at the same time, Travas was suddenly met with a ferocious punch on both his stomach and his face, sending him flying towards the woods in the distance.

With Travas out of the way, Kain sets his sights towards his former companion, Umah, upon which she was preparing to fight the ambitious vampire. While eying the veteran vampire closely, Kain teleports towards her direction and attempts to strike his claws at her. Though some manage to hit her, she also manages to dodge and block some of the attacks he made. Upon the moment of opportunity knocks, Umah uses her telekinesis to push the attacking vampire away from her, allowing her to buy time and begin to prepare her own attacks. But while she was gathering energy, Kain immediately teleported towards her again and strikes a fierce knee kick on the female vampire's stomach, taking the breath out of her as she was sent flying towards a nearby tree. Within an instant moment, she crashes on a nearby tree and lands just within about five meters from the motorcycle, which Kain teleports towards her with his claws ready for the savoring kill.

"Now that you are in no condition to fight, I believe it is time that I strike the hand of death against you just like I have done at the Wharves four years ago", Kain eagerly said while smirking evilly towards the female vampire, who looked at him with pure hatred.

"You're not going to get away with this Kain! And even if you do, I promise you that Travas will hunt you down and kill you for killing me a second time", Umah shouted as Kain grabs her by the neck with his left hand and pulls her up. Then he prepares his right hand by means of killing the female vampire, with the female vampire looking down upon him with anger and hatred in her eyes.

"We will see about that, wretched harlot. And I needn't worry about him if I were you, Umah. He'll join you in hell soon enough", Kain replied as Umah gives him the finger right in his face, angering the ambitious vampire only slightly.

"Fuck you, Kain", Umah spoke softly while slightly choking upon his tightening grip. Kain instantly growls towards the female vampire as he pulls his right arm back, allowing him to spread out his sharpened claws. Then he swiftly throws the hand of death towards her. But before it could ever make contact, he was suddenly met with a powerful tackle by the vulpin. Thus, he involuntarily drops Umah onto the sandy shores below as she watches her boyfriend clash against the ferocious vampire.

As she continues to watch the battle, Kain continues his attempts at striking against the vulpin. But then the ferocious vampire discovers that he, too, has started using a new teleportation ability that neither he nor Umah had seen him use before. Though unsure at first about how he acquired the ability, the pieces finally come in place like a puzzle as the female vampire suddenly remembers, or at least what she thought, on how he obtained his new ability.

"Of course, my beloved acquired the teleportation technique after he wrought the hand of death towards Infernum, which his life's energy entered Travas' body", Umah thought within her mind as she slightly smirks upon his newfound ability. But the smirk soon fades into a worried expression as Kain, too, begins using his teleportation ability to compete against her beloved's technique. Within moments in the fight, Kain finally grabs a hold of Travas, gripping his neck tightly and taking the air out of his lungs. Thus, the vulpin starts struggling in vain as he continues to gasp for air, causing Kain began to chuckle upon him.

"At last, I finally have the fox within my grasp! How unfortunate for you", Kain spoke rather enthusiastically while chuckling at the choking vulpin. "Now it is time for you to DIE", he continued as he uses his immolate technique to surround Travas in a red transparent pillar of energy around his body, causing it to go up in smoke as Umah watches helplessly.

"TRAVAS", Umah screamed as her eyes began to water and Kain starts to laugh hysterically. But both expressions soon change into a confused one as the vulpin's body turns into multiple glowing spheres of energy, fleeing away from Kain and towards another vulpin body figure five meters behind Umah. Thus the two turn around to see that the energy returned to what appeared to be another Travas.

"What…?" was all the two confused vampires could muster as they see Travas, who was grinning upon Kain's confused state.

"What's going on? How was he able to pull such a trick?" Umah asked in her mind, confused upon what had just happened as Travas looked upon her.

"Allow me to show you, hon", Travas answered as he gets into battle position, facing the ferocious vampire himself. Then all of the sudden, the two confused vampires began to see multiple arms and legs get into battle position behind him. Within an instant, their curious thoughts were answered as they notice multiple clones of Travas forming, eight others plus the real one, ready to fight. This in turn causes Kain and Umah's eyes to shoot wide open upon seeing Travas' new ability.

"Whoa… since when was Travas capable of summoning multiple copies of himself…? I have never seen anyone pull such a trick until this very moment", Umah thought as she looks towards her boyfriend with shocked eyes.

"Travas, what trickery is this?! Why am I seeing multiple forms of you?! I demand you to answer me at once!" Kain shouted demandingly as Travas and his clones start chuckling at Kain's annoyed expression.

"Just another trick I've managed to master during the past four years", Travas answered as he and the clones get into battle position. "Now then, shall we continue where we left off", he asked while smirking towards the ambitious vampire.

"Yes, let us proceed and continue where we left off", Kain answered as he teleported towards the vulpin and his army of clones. Almost immediately, the vampire appears behind one of the clones ah he strikes his claws upon them. However, the clones manage to block them effortlessly while two other head for Umah to aid her.

"Umah, are you alright", the First Clone asked as the Second takes her hand and lifts her back on her feet.

"Yes, I'm alright… but how was it that you were able to perform such a trick. I've never seen the likes of it before", Umah asked.

"I would love to answer that, but I am not the real Travas. Our master is in the skies fighting against Kain", the First Clone answered as he turns to the fight that the real Travas and the other clones were fighting in. Suddenly, Kain 'kills' two of the clones, letting their energy distribute itself amongst the others and their master. Thus, the energy revitalizes them as Travas and the remaining clones in the skies continue to fight against the vicious vampire.

With Travas' newfound ability to create multiple clones of himself, Umah could only watch in both shock and amazement as the fight continues to progress. But while she watches the battle, three more clones were suddenly defeated by Kain himself, again turning into energy and distributing themselves amongst the two remaining clones and the real Travas himself. Thus the two clones turn to face Umah as Travas continues to fight against Kain.

"Well, Umah, it's time that we both lend our master a hand", the Second Clone spoke before he starts flying towards his master in the skies.

"Don't worry, ma'am, we'll do the best we can to help him fight against Kain. We'll make sure Kain is defeated before anything else happens to him", the First Clone said as he, too, flies towards the clashing warriors, joining in on Travas' side to fight against the veteran vampire.

With every punch, kick, or energy blast fired against each other, Kain began to growl in annoyance and starts to use immolate against them all. But before the attack could take effect, Travas and the surviving clones take Umah to safety behind some nearby trees. Then all of the sudden, the nearby trees were engulfed in a pillar of red transparent energy, setting them ablaze like a match. Thankfully, however, the group manages to move away from the fire. Then, the clones instantly fly towards the ambitious vampire and fights against him once again. But before Travas was able to fly towards Kain and fight, he feels a sharp pain in his head, causing Umah to run to his side.

"Travas, are you alright", Umah asked as Travas was covering his face, placing one of his hand-paws on the bark of an unharmed tree close by.

"Argh, not again!" this was what Travas could muster as the vision starts to play within his mind.

*Vision*

A vast amount of civilians in Veron Opus return to their homes as the Alopex Space Station finally succumbs to the night for the remainder of the day. Some of the alleyway lights are shut off along with the apartments located downtown. Though the night itself became restful for the people, it becomes restless for a small handful of the city's vulpin civilians. A couple of those people, for instance, are inside one of the apartments located downtown.

Inside the apartment, the two civilians were moaning in contrast to the bed mattress being shaken by their lustful activities. The first was that of a male orange fox that was aged somewhere in his mid-forties to mid-fifties with emerald green eyes. The female was that of an arctic kitsune with brown hair, nine tails, and sapphire blue eyes, aged somewhere in her late twenties. Then with a loud howl of lust and desire, the male vulpin climaxes onto the female arctic kitsune's torso and breasts just before collapsing on the bed, resting on his back as the kitsune leans towards him on her side. Thus, she begins to stroke the male vulpin's chest with her left index finger as he was stroking the bottom portion of her back.

"Well, General Travas Starfox, you have proven to be true to your word. You are indeed well-endowed with the ability to please a woman at the highest standards possible", the female kitsune spoke seductively while giggling as Travas Sr. smirks towards her.

"You know me, vixen", Travas Sr. replied flirtatiously, causing the female kitsune to kiss his muzzle lips eagerly. Then, he breaks the kiss and looks upon her with a slightly serious expression. "Fiona, since I took care of your request on your behalf, all I request is for Scarlet to continue her education at your elementary academy, regardless of how much trouble she has gotten", he asked as Fiona looks upon him with a serious expression.

"General Starfox, I understand your concern for your daughter's education, but I cannot allow such violent actions to go unpunished. I'm sorry, General, but she must face expulsion first thing Monday morning", Fiona spoke while looking upon him with a calm frown, causing the General to sigh in frustration. "You are aware about what she has done towards Daniel Gora, are you not", she asked firmly, yet calmly.

"Yes, I am aware, Fiona… but all I ask is if there's a way to convince you to reduce the severity of my daughter's punishment to something both parties can agree on", Travas Sr. asked as Fiona turns her head slightly down, thinking about his question. Then, she looks upon him again with a seductive, lustful look on her face.

"Well… there is one request I humbly ask of you to grant me", Fiona answered as Travas gave out a sigh of both relief and slight frustration.

"Name it", Travas replied as the female kitsune smirks and licks her lips in sexual greed and lust.

"All I ask of you is to fill me with your essence… and from there we can negotiate alternative options in your daughter's punishment regarding the case", Fiona said before the general gives out a seductive, yet relieved smirk as he kisses her lips passionately and quickly injects his length inside of her nether lips under the covers. While their moans of sexual desire grow louder, Travas was hurled back into the present time, ending the vision he has now seen.

*Vision End*

With Travas trying to recover from the sudden vision he had just seen, the two surviving clones continue their battle against the ambitious vampire. Then suddenly, one of them looks down upon the real Travas, noticing his weakened state as Kain unsheathes his claws and instantly flies towards the vulpin. Almost immediately, the Second Clone flies in front of the vicious vampire and jabs him in the stomach, stopping him from going any further than he had desired.

"Number One, go to our master and protect him as best as you can while he recovers", the Second Clone ordered as the First one nods in response. And within a sudden moment, he begins flying towards their master, managing to arrive on short notice. The only thing that the First Clone could do upon arrival was to kneel down and look towards his nearly recovered master.

"Master, are you alright", the First Clone asked worryingly as Travas uncovers his eyes, revealing their shocked, angered, and disgusted gesture.

"Travas… what did you see?" Umah asked with a calm, but serious tone while Travas begins to slightly growl in rage.

"It's about my father…" Travas answered while getting back onto his feet paws. "But there's no time for any explanations. Right now, we gotta get this bastard taken care of and teleport back to the Citadel", the vulpin continued as he instantly powers up and flies towards the ambitious vampire.

At the same time, Kain finally manages to defeat the Second Clone after fighting a powerful battle against the vampire, turning back into energy and giving it back to his master. Then suddenly, the ambitious vampire was met with a ferocious punch in the stomach, taking the breath out of his lungs. Though injured as he was, Kain manages to recover enough to back away from the vulpin, preparing two blood red energy spheres in the palms of his hands. In a similar manner, Travas starts summoning forth one of his own fiery attacks in the palms of his own hand-paws.

While Travas was preparing his fiery attack, the final surviving clone suddenly reverts himself back into energy and gives it back to his master in the skies above. Thus, Travas' energy was restored and his body revitalized. In a similar manner, the intensity of the attack begins to increase sharply, yet gradually at the same time. However, Kain began to finalize his own attack while looking at the vulpin with a smirk on his face.

"Travas, it seems that the hand of death has come upon you at last!" Kain claimed while combining the two spheres into one, intensifying his own attack in the process. "It is time for you to go to OBLIVION", he shouted as he fired his energy blast towards the vulpin.

"We'll see about that, Kain! DRAGON'S FIERY KAMIKAZE", Travas shouted as he, too, immediately fires his attack towards Kain's own blood red beam.

What had been seconds passing by seemed to feel like minutes to both warriors. But in that moment, the two energy blasts finally collide against each other with sheer force. Both opposing opponents begin to add more power to them, causing both attacks to push against each other in a back and forth motion. Down below, Umah could only watch with a shocked, yet hopeful expression as she looks toward her beloved battling against the ambitious vampire up above. Her hopes and prayers were soon answered when Travas suddenly bursts into his famous purple-red energy and increasing the power of his attack at a higher level. Thus, the attack starts to push Kain's beam back towards him as the ambitious vampire could look upon the fiery blast with raging terror.

"How is this possible…?! How is it that all four years of my training suddenly go to waste?!" Kain thought angrily in his mind while trying to push his beam towards Travas' fiery blast. But his valiant efforts have proven to be in vain as the blast finally strikes him with burning force, causing him to crash onto the sandy shores nearly fifty feet from Umah's position. Thus, Travas lands just within a few feet from Kain's crash site, looking down upon his bloodied, burnt, and injured state with calmly angered, serious eyes.

"It seems your training meant nothing after fighting against me. I will admit that you have gotten stronger than I anticipated… but in the end, you still lost against me", Travas spoke calmly as Kain growls angrily at him.

"You may have won this battle, Travas… but I promise you that this isn't over. One day, you will fall down to your knees before me… and when that day comes, I shall merely laugh upon your dying body while you bleed to death on Nosgoth's fragile soil. And with this, you will know the truth as my rule over Nosgoth will resume where it left off", Kain spoke clearly, yet hoarsely as Travas simply rolls his eyes in mere annoyance.

"Oh, please!" Travas shot back. "I doubt you'll be able to kill me… but if that day does come, I do whatever I can to stop you from completing your ambitions. In the meantime, I suggest that you remain here and get yourself a tan while you're at it", he spoke as he uses his teleportation ability to transport himself towards Umah, upon which looks upon him in a relieved expression.

"Oh, thank God you're alright…" Umah spoke moments before her relieved expression changes into more of a curious one as the two walk towards the motorcycle. "But there is one question I must ask", she continued as Travas looks upon her curiously.

"Sure thing, babe", Travas replied. "Ask away".

"I understand how you were able to acquire your teleportation technique… but how was it that you learned to manipulate your energy and create clones of yourself as a result", Umah asked, causing Travas to softly smile upon her.

"To answer that, I had been practicing over the past four years during the time you were on solo missions", Travas answered. "Though I may have learned the trick, it's actually not originally one of my techniques. It actually belongs to a future felin hero named Maxwell 'Copycat' Manx", he continued.

"Maxwell 'Copycat' Manx…?" Umah asked in a confused tone before tilting her head down for a moment. Then her eyes open wide and cause her to tilt her head upward, shifting her sights towards her beloved. "Wait… wasn't he one of the members of the group of super heroes called the 'Extinctioners' you've told me about from your visions?" she asked again, causing Travas to nod in response as he grabs a hold of the motorcycle handles.

"That he was… but I can't explain any further at this time. We must teleport back to sanctuary and check on Janos' condition", Travas spoke while Umah gets on the motorcycle and holds onto her boyfriend's muscular torso. Once she gets a good grip on her boyfriend, the vulpin begins to summon forth a ghastly-green aura, covering both the motorcycle and their body outlines. However, the vulpin narrows his eyes in anger without Umah noticing, remembering the vision he had seen earlier in the battle. "Dad, you better get ready... because I'm coming for you! And I promise you that it's not going to be a pleasant reunion", he thought in his mind as the vulpin teleports him and his girlfriend back to the Citadel. From there, Travas would devise his own plans and confront his father face to face.

A/N:

Howdy their folks! I know it's been a while since I posted any new chapters here, but fear not, I come to provide you with new material. Anyways, it seems Janos was placed into a coma after the battle in Uschtenheim took place between the Vampire Resistance and Infernum's army. Travas and Umah decide that they needed to go to the Great Southern Lake and find some comfort regarding what happened. Although they found some relief at first, Kain decided to ruin their fun by starting another battle against Travas and his girlfriend, Umah. Despite Kain's troublesome ambitions, the battle went rather smoothly due to the vulpin's newfound teleportation ability along with using a borrowed cloning ability from future Extinctioner, Maxwell 'Copycat' Manx. But during the battle, however, Travas starts having a vision regarding his father. And based on what he just witnessed... lets just say that he's gonna be paying his old man a visit soon. However, does it mean that his father truly committed this act out willing... or some other unknown means? Find out in the later installments of 'Legacy of Travas.
