The War Against Drakath
In this chapter, a war is going to break out between the werewolves and vampires...because you know, they're always at each other's throats...
And interestingly enough our heroes aren't going to be sure what they're going to do about the conflict...
And of course, the werepyres are up to no good...they've allied themselves with Drakath after all...seems they didn't appreciate being shunned by both the vampires and werewolves. Oh well.
Chapter 39: The Darkovia War
I could tell that something was wrong with Masamune34 and Blackmagic13 after they had been bitten by a werewolf and a vampire respectively, but when they fully transformed, I was in for a big surprise.
Apparently, Masamune34 had been bitten by a werewolf...and Blackmagic13 had been bitten by a vampire...there wasn't any other explanation really.
"What happened? And why do I suddenly want so much blood?" asked Blackmagic13.
"Owoooo!" howled Masamune34. "Wait, why did I just do that?"
"Um guys...I don't know how to say this to you...but I think you've become a werewolf and a vampire..." stated Blackmagic13.
"You mean I can't look into a mirror anymore? This rots!" exclaimed Blackmagic13.
"Now I'm probably going to get fleas..." complained Masamune34.
"There's got to be a way to get you guys cured..." I told them. "I am curious why you aren't looking for something to sink your teeth in though..."
"You're right, that is odd..." said Blackmagic13.
"Maybe we have a strong will or something?" pointed out Masamune34.
"Well, I can't really picture Blackmagic13 taking orders from anybody to be honest...as for you, Masamune34, I think you're probably right about having a strong will." I pointed out.
"What are we going to do now though? I don't think we can leave Darkovia without being exposed to sunlight or some sort of angry mob..." pointed out Blackmagic13.
"Like I said, I hope I can get you guys cured." I told them.
"I sure hope you can find a way." agreed Masamune34.
"For now, we should probably pick a side in the Darkovia War...of course, it looks like you two are going to be stuck working for one side..." I explained.
"I don't know...I can't really picture myself going up against Masamune34..." contradicted Blackmagic13.
"Strangely enough, neither can I." agreed Masamune34.
"I just wonder what the werepyres are up to...for some strange reason the vampires and werewolves don't seem to realize the true threat underneath their noses..." I noted.
"They must be blind or something..." agreed Blackmagic13.
"Apparently." Masamune34 agreed.
"Well, they're probably going to find out about the werepyres eventually once they unleash the 5th Beast of Chaos on Darkovia..." I pointed out.
"We need to stop them." nodded Masamune34.
"Problem is...we don't really know where they're hiding...I know they've got to be around Darkovia somewhere..." I informed them.
"You're right...just where would the Werepyres like to hide?" Blackmagic13 questioned.
"Wherever they are, we need to find them, and fast!" I exclaimed that.
Shortly afterwards, we noticed that there was a lot of fighting going on between the vampires and werewolves...it then occured to us that the war had already started.
"This is going to get rather messy." I murmured.
I personally wondered where Safiria and Constantine were in the chaos...likely they were overseeing the battle.
It was a shame really, I could really have used their help against the werepyres...but Safiria was blinded by her petty squabbles with the werewolves and Constantine was thus forced to defend himself from the vampires.
In other words, it looked like it was up to us to put an end to the Fifth Lord of Chaos's plan...
Suddenly, a swarm of bats began to flock towards us...we began to wonder what was going on, when suddenly they bit into our flesh.
"Ouch! Get them off me!" I demanded.
"Where are they coming from?" wondered Masamune34.
"Oh, they're just pets of mine." said a voice.
I looked around, and noticed that there was a vampire standing close to us. Curiously enough, he wasn't fighting against the werewolves.
"Who are you?" I questioned.
"My name is Edward...Drakath mentioned to Wolfwing that you would try to stop him...just like you had thwarted three Chaos Lords in the past...so he decided to send me to make sure you don't interfere...if you get what I'm saying." explained the vampire.
"You joined the werepyres? You traitor!" exclaimed Blackmagic13.
"What can I say? He promised me lots of blood if I teamed up with him...and look what he's brought me...a young damsel that I can sink my teeth into..." Edward said.
"You'll have to go through us first." said Masamune34.
"Fair enough. Wouldn't want it to be too easy, now would we." said Edmund.
"Of course not." agreed Blackmagic13, as she tossed a fireball.
Edmund simply sidestepped and knocked her down.
"You've only been a vampire since recently, have you? Well, that's rather unfortunate. I've been oen for over a century." answered Edward.
"Just my luck." retorted Blackmagic13.
Fortunately, Masamune34 tackled Edmund to the ground and starting to claw at his face.
"Aargh! Get off me you mangy mutt!" demanded Edmund, who started trying to shove Masamune34 off.
Blackmagic13 took the opportunity to fire a few icicles at the traitorous vampire. He promptly snarled in rage.
"Alright, now you've made me angry." he said. Snapping his fingers, geysers of blood started to sprout of the ground, sending Blackmagic13 and Masamune34 flying.
"Now then, let me have a taste of your blood." said Edmund.
Unfortunately for him, I realized that as a vampire my holy spells would be effective against him. I promptly decided to cast one.
"Gah!" he screamed.
And to make a long story short, I decided to keep casting.
"Make it stop! Make it stop!" he demanded.
I then finished him off using a blast of holy energy...and to make a long story short, Edmund was reduced to ash.
"Are you two alright?" I questioned them.
"Yeah, I think so...sheesh, I didn't really figure that a vampire would attack us instead of a werepyre...I guess Wolfwing's always looking for new recruits..." Blackmagic13 nodded.
"We've got to find his lair, and fast!" exclaimed Masamune34.
"You mean like...that cave over there?" Blackmagic13 inquired.
"Hmm...something tells me that might be the werepyre's stronghold..." I explained.
"Well, I suppose we might as well go inside. Right now the vampires and werewolves are fighting so I don't think we can really ask them for help..." said Masamune34.
"Hold it!" exclaimed someone.
We looked around, and noticed that it appeared to be a vampire slayer.
"Didn't we see you on the way to Safiria's Castle?" questioned Blackmagic13.
"Yes, you did. People call me Shadowslayer Z...my job is to slay vampires. Or at least it used to be..." she said.
Blackmagic13 suddenly turned even whiter than usual.
"You're not going in there without me! Understood? It's very dangerous in there and I don't want you to get killed." questioned Shadowslayer Z.
"We kind of figured that out." answered Masamune34.
"Fine fine fine. But I'm not exactly looking forward to working with someone who slays vampires for a living...in case you just noticed, I just became one!" she exclaimed.
"Actually, I just managed to develop a cure for vampires and werewolves that have only been converted recently...if you manage to slay Wolfwing, I might be able to get you cured." Shadowslayer Z said.
Masamune34 agreed to this. After all, it would be difficult to get out of Darkovia considering the fact that neither vampires nor werewolves were particularly fond of sunlight.
"As for you, Whitemagic7, I would continue developing your healing and holy magic. They'll come in handy if you need to defeat another evildoer." said Shadowslayer Z. "Heck, you could probably become a vampire slayer like me..."
"But you slay vampires with swords..." said Whitemagic7.
"That's because I use it to stab them in the heart...you on the other hand won't need to resort to that..." pointed out the vampire slayer.
"I see..." said Whitemagic7.
"Well, we're wasting time...you want to stop Wolfwing from creating another Chaos Beast do you?" Shadowslayer Z inquired.
All three of us nodded.
"Then follow me." she answered.
To make a long story short, we went inside the Werepyre's Lair...there was one question that remained on our minds though...
Would we be able to stop Wolfwing in time?
Will our heroes stop Wolfwing from creating the fourth Beast of Chaos? Or will he manage to succeed in his plans? Stay tuned...
