Merlin was sitting on his bed. Next to him was an empty box of his meal. He licked his lips as he heard the ruckus outside his cell. He had gotten used to eating without his hands now.
Merlin heard the screams and gunshots. It sounded like music to him. He smiled in enjoyment as he swung his legs. War zone was right outside his door. The smell of blood was heavy. There were so many hunters and vampires killed.
Merlin looked to his door as he heard footsteps walking closer.
An old man opened the door. "I've come to pick you up," Moriarty said. His right hand was bloody, his favorite machine gun was in his left's.
Merlin grinned to him. "Never have guessed you'd pull this... Holmes must be very pissed now." He said as he stepped on the ground with his bare feet and walked out of his cell.
Moriarty chuckled. "Indeed, he must be."

Days had been more peaceful for Siegfried and Karna. They hadn't been chased for a day. Which was a little bit weird. But nice.
Karna and Siegfried's stop this time was a village. The village was filled with vampires. Probably the humans had been taken out one by one, and the vampires replaced them. Siegfried and Karna didn't hate vampires, but the village was a little of annoying for them.
Mainly because they sell human bodies openly. They captured humans from the cities. Homeless people and illegal immigrants were their food sources. That was disgusting. Karna respected humans and Siegfried hate it when vampires treated humans like food. They didn't want to stay there for too long. Only for a night.
The vampire villagers knew who Siegfried was. Who didn't? There were also rumors that the ancient had been traveling with his mate for some time. And that mate was also a pureblood. By seeing Karna, they confirmed that.
The villagers were joyful. If Siegfried and Karna had an offspring, then the vampire race would gain another upper hand against humans. The more purebloods, the better. Especially if it was from two pureblood parents. How strong that child would be?
A vampire priest welcomed them. "Welcome to our village, Lord Siegfried, and his mate. We are happy to have you." The priest bowed to the purebloods. He was quite an old man. And Karna could smell human children's blood from him. He must have a hobby to drink from young children. Karna was disgusted.
Siegfried sensed Karna's discomfort, understanding that Karna didn't want to stay here for days. "We're only staying here for tonight," Siegfried asked the priest. "We will leave before the sun rises."
The priest nodded. "Of course, my lord. We have a place ready."
They were led to a house. A spacious house complete with furnitures, a family house. The house was clean but Karna could smell blood in the wooden floor. From the light smell, it must be from years ago about, but Karna was sure a slaughter happened in this house. The whole family must have been killed. Their blood soaked into the wood and the vampires felt no need to replace it. Mainly because it smelled nice for them.
Karna disliked the house. When he thought about how the human family was killed, Karna's chest felt heavy. If he could save them, he would. Karna was pissed with the villagers.
After the priest left, Siegfried touched Karna's shoulder and looked at him, concerned. "Are you okay?" He asked.
"Ah," Karna nodded. "Sorry."
Siegfried pulled him into his arms. He hugged the smaller man. He know what Karna was feeling. Karna hugged back and closed his eyes. The warmth of Siegfried was calming him.
They avoided the living room because it was where the family was killed. They walked straight to upstairs. There went into the bedroom that had a TV and double bed.
Siegfried sat on the bed after he dropped their stuff. Then he turned on the rectangular TV, the older type. Probably from ten years ago. Siegfried switched to the news channel. Because they were travelling and they need to keep themselves updated. Siegfried would always read newspaper or watch them if he stopped at towns or villages.
Karna left the room. He was walking around the house, checking the other rooms. There were other bedrooms and from what Karna saw, it was children's room. The family must had five children from the bed count.
"Karna," Siegfried called from the bedroom. "Please come here!" Siegfried's voice was serious.
Karna wondered what was so urgent as he returned to the room. Siegfried seriously was watching the news. His eyes didn't even move. Karna looked at the glass screen.
The reporter was reporting the news about the hunter's headquarters were being raided by the mafias. "225 hunters and 29 civilians were killed. More than a 100 were wounded. " She reported the number of causalities.
The news was dread for both of them. But Siegfried could hear the villagers were cheering outside. They were joyful that the hunters were killed. Clearly, they were anti-human vampires. For them, hunters were enemy.
And then the news went dark, soon the screen was replaced with a face of an old man. It was Gilgamesh's butler. Karna and Siegfried remembered him well. His fingers were crossed in front of his face as he spoke. "Good afternoon everyone, my name is James Moriarty. Today we've raided and killed the hunters. This is all thanks to King Solomon. He had returned to our world and will lead us, vampires, great again. We have lived thousands of years, fearing the humans, even though we are the top of the food chain. That's not right. Humans are supposed to fear us. Not the other way."
Moriarty put down his hands, revealing a grin. He looked as if he was the devil himself. "My fellow vampires, new world is close by. We no longer have to fear humans. King Solomon will save us all. Please show your rage to the world. For we had been oppressed for our whole life. Kill humans! Steal from them! Turn them into our kind! This is a war declaration to humanity."
Then the evil dissappeared. The screen went blue, and the voice of the villagers was still heard. They were shouting in joy. Some of them were even crying out of happiness. Finally, a hope for vampirekind has arrived.
"Long live King Solomon!"
"The hunters are mostly dead!"
"Finally we can great again!"
"Curse the hunters!"
Karna looked at the screen, it had returned to the news. The reporter explained that the tv stations were hijacked. All were showing the same man.
.
.
It wasn't long until the next news about the vampire's attack came. In four hours, the cases had sky-rocketed ever since Moriarty's declaration. Many humans were killed. Some of them were turned into vampires. The reporter was telling people to not leave their houses.
The little hunters left was fighting off the masses of vampires that decided to attack the headquarters again. The vampires were planning to finish them off.
—
"Chief!" Artoria called for the wounded man. He was laying on ground in his own puddle of blood. His was unlucky to be shot multiple times by the old man.
"Abandon this place... run..." Shirou said, weakly, as was on his dying breath.
"But—!"
Vampires came again. They entered the room. Lancelot quickly took them out. "Captain, we need to go now!" He yelled. He was breathless. The room was filled with corpses and he had lost count how many he had cut down.
"Sorry," Artoria closed her eyes and said to the chief. Shirou smiled as she started to walk away. Either way, he could no longer be saved.
Artoria pulled out her sword. "Let's go!" She said. Lancelot nodded. Tristan was there but he wouldn't be much help. "Tristan, stay behind me."
Tristan nodded as he held his own arm. He couldn't use that arm anymore. He was out of strings and bullets as well. He had a sword with him, but fighting with one arm was hard. He'll just hope he won't get killed in his way out.
.
.
.
They decided to go to the city before the sun rises.
"I want to save them," Siegfried said as he stared at his sun. He was serious about that. He couldn't let the evil vampires rage through the capital. The hunter headquarters were already done for. The chain of command had collapsed.
"Ah," Karna nodded as he looked back into that eyes. "I will go with you," Karna said with determination. He wanted the help the humans, and on top of that he was also worried about Cu who was at the capital.
And so they ran their way to the capital.
They were running when Siegfried stepped on a landmind. It exploded instantly. Karna was able to avoid the explosion but Siegfried was unable to jump away. His left leg was destroyed. An ambush?
"Sieg—" Karna was about to help Siegfried when a bullet was shot to his back. Him being in a panic had made his guard down. He was easily aimed.
"Karna!" Siegfried almost finished regrowing his leg. He would pick his sun as soon as he could run. But Siegfried found it strange. A bullet was supposed to be an easy heal but weirdly Karna wasn't getting up. He laid on his back at the ground. And then the distinct smell came to Siegfried's nose. The pheromones of heat.
.
.
.
Arjuna had been following them silently for 2 days. Taking distance of 2km at the closest so he won't alert the pureblood couples.
He was on his scope. He had been waiting for them since midnight. Knowing that they would pass this route to get to the capital. They were staying in the village he was born in. How many times had Arjuna proposed to clean that village, but he was rejected because it doesn't profit the higher-ups. Arjuna hated the selfish people in power. He would love to kill them after this.
Shooting from 1,7km was not easy. He had to make sure the wind direction and the exact moment when one of them stepped on the landmine were aligned. And by that 0.8 seconds he would shot Karna with the Shakespeare's bullet.
Arjuna was smiling so proud. His plans was perfect. Siegfried won't attack him. Arjuna was too far to be directly attacked. Not to mention if Siegfried did choose to run after him, Arjuna had prepared other guns right next to him. All to save time from reloading.
Arjuna know what had happened to the headquarters. And that the capital was in total chaos. But he prioritized killing Karna over his comrades' lives. Even if he did return, it was too late. So he would just do what was the most effective.
Arjuna had planted more traps. Arjuna wouldn't be able to shot them anymore now that they'd realized someone was sniping on them. Purebloods were almost impossible to snipe when they move around.
But Karna was now a liability. Only Siegfried could run. He was not fast, but still not snipeable from this far. Arjuna grabbed his stuff, he run down the stairs. He had to move to his next point.
Arjuna only had to wait to see which trap of his reacted and by the noise he would go there.
.
.
.
"Karna!?" Siegfried was shocked by the sudden heat Karna had. He wasn't supposed to have it now. I have no time.
Karna was curling and breathless. His face was flushing red. He was in heat. Sorry, Siegfried. Karna was unable to move his legs. He cursed himself now.
The smell was unbearable but Siegfried had to move. His leg was regenerated in 3 seconds. Siegfried quickly picked Karna and run. It was hard to breathe. The smell of heat was eating away his senses. But he had to protect his sun.
Siegfried decided to run to the trees. When he ran straight there, he realized a bunch of automated sub-machine guns had been planted. They were about to shoot. Siegfried's eyes widened in shock and he quickly threw Karna away.
"Siegfried—!" Karna looked up. He was thrown 5 meters away. He watched as Siegfried being shot barrages.
Siegfried's body was full of holes. His blood was splattered around. He fell to his knees. Karna crawled to Siegfried slowly, his heat had affected him too much.
Siegfried's head was shot three holes. His right eye was shot, no it was a hole that can be seen pass through. And the bullets melted inside his head.No! No! No! No!
Arjuna was walking to Karna. He was smiling as his plans worked perfectly. Those automated guns were loaded by the SP-bullets and hundreds of S-bullets and they all melted inside the monster. Using those were over Arjuna's budget that he had to fund them by himself. But he was glad he did.
Arjuna looked at the crawling omega. Siegfried was incapacitated. He would need more than 10 minutes to recover from that holes. And that would give Arjuna enough time kill Karna. He was walking. He was holding a lance.
"Sieg—! Akhh!" Karna screamed as Arjuna plunged the lance and it stuck perfectly into Karna's stomach. Under the assumption he was with a child, this has eliminated the threat. Just to be safe. Because vampire babies could survive inside a corpse for some time. Then, Arjuna shot a few S-bullets to prevent him from healing.
Siegfried suddenly woke up when he smelled Karna's blood. His body was still full of holes and his head was still healing. He couldn't think of anything. He moved by instinct. His instincts told him he had to kill Arjuna no matter what. He must protect Karna.
Siegfried got up and screamed. He ran to Arjuna, grabbed his head, wanting to crush him. But Arjuna was fast enough to cut off his hand with his blade.
Siegfried kicked him away. Arjuna's back was knocked to the trees, they were crushed. That was the impact of Siegfried's power.
"Aughh—!" Arjuna puked blood. His bones were crushed. He was durable, that was how he didn't instantly get killed by that. But he knew he couldn't run anymore. I haven't kill Karna! I can't die yet!
Arjuna watched Siegfried in horror. His huge body was filled with holes, blood was sprouting out from the holes. He was walking, limping and crooked as he walked to Arjuna. A monster.
Arjuna remembered the monsters he was afraid of when he was a child. The one his brothers used to scare him with. It was real and right in front of him. And he was about to killed by that monster.
Siegfried was unable to regenerate his arm or the holes on his body. The hole in his head had made him berserk. But even so, he wanted to kill Arjuna so badly. He walked to Arjuna. Siegfried was about to land the killing blow when he heard Karna's voice.
"Sieg...fried..." Karna weakly said. His wounds weren't closing. The bullets that melted inside him was burning. "Come...back... Siegfried!"
Siegfried's attention was taken back to Karna. He quickly left Arjuna and ran to Karna.
Arjuna didn't expect that he would still be alive. But what shocked him more was not that. It was what he was looking at.
Siegfried quickly grabbed his own dick and shoved it inside Karna. He started thrusting as fast as he could. Karna was in heat but he wasn't aroused at all because he wasn't in shape to mate.
"Arhgghh!" Karna screamed. It hurts! It hurts! It hurts! Karna could feel his blood dripping out from his hole as Siegfried kept thrusting from behind. Karna was terrified. This wasn't his Siegfried. This was just a beast. Siegfried bit on Karna's nape. Even though both of them were wounded seriously. Siegfried's brain was damaged. Now he was a beast who react with instinct. And Karna was in heat.
But it was just disgusting. If Siegfried was simply raping Karna with all those holes in his body, it would be better. But he was eating Karna.
"Sieg—! Stop! Please!" Karna screamed hopelessly, tears were overflowing. He thought Siegfried was simply marking him but he was wrong. Siegfried bit on his nape, and then he pulled up the flesh. Eating him. Another bite and another bite. Until the bone was visible. Karna screamed in pain the whole time.
They were fucking above the puddle of Karna's blood. The puddle kept spreading as Karna kept bleeding.
Siegfried's wound slowly healed back as he consumed the omega's flesh while fucking him. He pulled out a bit, then he flipped Karna's body and he shoved in once again. Karna screamed in pain as the wound from his nape and back were slammed to the ground. "Arghhhh! No! Please!"
Siegfried bit him on the neck, and ate that part of flesh as well. And then he started to eat his chest. Karna tried to push him away with his hands but he was powerless, not only because of his heat but because he was losing so much blood and flesh.
Siegfried was feeling amazing. He never felt so alive in his whole life. Losing parts of his brain had sent him back to his monstrous nature. So delicious! So good! The smell of blood everywhere made him even more lively. Siegfried kept thrusting as he ate. He was laughing. He felt that he was close, and he would like to come. This is heaven!
"Sieg—!" Karna begged as he cry. He was being raped and eaten alive. "Ple— stop! It hurts!" Karna couldn't take it anymore. Siegfried pierced his hand and pulled out Karna's kidneys and ate them.
Arjuna was looking on with a shocked expression, yet he wanted to laugh. "Haha... hahahahahaha!" He laughed maniacally as he witnessed the monster's breeding session. So disgusting. How befitting for monsters.
Arjuna would like to witness the show till the end, but he need to move. He would die if he stayed there. He wasn't happy that he couldn't kill Karna. But there was no need for that. Siegfried was killing him already.
Arjuna forced himself to get up. It took all his might to get up, and he started to walk away. Limping. Blood was dripping from his body and head. He glanced once to the monsters. He laughed once more before he went away. Leaving the monster as he raped and ate his own mate.
Arjuna walked, half dragging himself. He wasn't able to walk far. He fell again. He got up again, walked a few steps, and fell again. He had lost too much blood.
No. I don't want to die here. I want to live. I don't want to die. Someone...someone...
Arjuna flipped his body, he looked up to the sky as he waited for his death. He was alone. He died like a stray cat. Nobody ever loved him since his family died. Nobody cared for him. Nobody tried to understand him. Nobody wanted him. Nobody tried to save him. And nobody will remember him.
Arjuna finally closed his eyes. He welcomed his eternal loneliness.
.
.
.
Siegfried returned to his senses as soon as he released his load inside Karna. His wounds were healed.
He looked down in horror. Karna's ribs were showing. His neck was bitten out. His organs were visible, his kidneys had been eaten. Siegfried looked at his own member as he pulled out. It was covered with blood. They were on top of a puddle of Karna's blood. He realized what he had done to his sun.
"I'm sorry..." Siegfried touched Karna's cheek. Only his face was fine. The rest of his body was a mess.
Karna opened his eyes and he blinked once. He looked up to Siegfried. His face was emotionless. He had lost his sensation of pain. And his voice wasn't coming out like it was supposed to be. He had screamed too much and Siegfried damaged his vocal cords when he ate his neck.
"...si..frie...?" That was all he could say with his broken neck. He was dying and he couldn't heal anymore. The bullets might have prevented him from healing fast, but it was Siegfried who kept eating him after his flesh regrown.
Tears streaming from Siegfried's eyes as he looked at Karna with wide eyes of fear. "I'm sorry... I'm sorry... I'm sorry..." He kept repeating the same words, he kept apologizing. He didn't know what to do or what to say. What had I done? I'm sorry... I'm sorry... I'm sorry... I'm sorry...
Siegfried bit his own hand, drawing his blood and fed that to Karna. But he wasn't healing at all. He was just laying there, waiting for his death. "I'm sorry... I'm sorry... I'm sorry..." Siegfried sobbed. He kept feeding his sun with his own blood. But no results. His damage was too far to be fixed.
Karna forced a weak smile, a tear fell from his eyes. He wanted to live longer. He wanted to see more Siegfried's smile. He wanted to travel more with him. He wanted to be with Siegfried. His Siegfried. The kind and gentle vampire who loved him dearly. The one who saved everyone, yet no one could save him. Not even Karna was able to save Siegfried from his misery.
"I... love... you..." Karna said with his last breath.
I'm sorry for being unable to travel with you anymore. I was really happy to be with you, even though it was a short time.
Siegfried stared at the lifeless body. His sun. His love. The reason of his living. Siegfried killed him. He sat there for hours, only staring. The night came and everything was covered in darkness.
I don't want to forget.
What is your name?
I forgot again.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.

Mash looked back to her hometown. It was burning brightly under the sky of midnight. The noise of sirens and people screaming filled her ears as she watched in fear. Mash and the other civilians were being evacuated by the police. But she was alone in the crowd of strangers, only with her teddy bear and the novel that was given to her.
Her brother and her father weren't with her.
Onii-chan... daddy... please find me.
Mash frowned as she continued walking with the crowd. The police directed them. But she was afraid. She could only hope her family would find her later.
.
.

Galahad pierced his sword into Solomon's chest. He rotated the sword while it was inside him. He jumped back and a grenade was thrown to the pureblood.
It exploded. But Solomon was still standing. His flesh recovered almost instantly.
Galahad was breathless. He and the other hunter spotted Solomon and quickly chased after him. In hopes that killing him would stop the vampires' rampage. Because Galahad didn't know what else to do. He tried to contact Holmes but he didn't answer. He had left the game. Leaving only the pieces to move on their own and gave Moriarty the victory.
Galahad gritted his teeth in pain. He knelt down. He wasn't able to evade the grenade's impact perfectly. Stones flew and struck inside his abdomen. "Khh—!"
"Galahad, are you okay!?" Artoria called out when she saw him fell on his knees. "You should withdraw!"
"No!" Galahad yelled. "If we don't take him down, we can't stop this!"
There were only a few of them there. The last hunters standing. Even the wounded were fighting. They weren't just fighting Solomon, there were other vampires and the mafias.
Artoria was also wounded. She was already on her last leg as she spoke. But Galahad was right, things would get worse if they don't kill Solomon. "We'll do formation 34," The captain said and the other members nodded. "Billy, please take Tristan's place."
"Understood," Billy nodded. He was so tired but he understood that somebody had to fill that ranger role.
Solomon sighed. "I am no interested in this, humans. Let me pass. I need to find someone." He said as he walked past the hunters with ease. He truly wasn't interested in the business of humanity and vampires. Moriarty used his name for his own plans but that was all to it. He didn't really fight the hunters back as well. He simply wanted to leave.
The hunters didn't want to let him go, but none of them were able to chase after him. Most of them were down. From the exhaustion, from the fire, from their wounds.
After Solomon left, some vampires appeared. But they weren't in shape to fight anymore. They jumped on the hunters.
One clearly aimed for Lancelot. Lancelot wasn't able to move anymore, his legs were done for. He sat there as he looked the vampire running to him.
Galahad jumped in front of him. He sliced that vampire. It was a bare second of relief until the other vampires jumped on him. Stabbing him and sucked him. They took Galahad's sword from his hand and stabbed him in the stomach.
"Galahad!" Lancelot screamed. His body suddenly was able to move again. It was fueled with his instinct to protect his son. He stood up and pulled the vampires away.
Lancelot stabbed them, sliced them, kicked them away. Galahad fell and Lancelot was holding him. "Oi! Wake up!" He looked down to his son.
Galahad was very pale. He was sucked almost to dry. He looked up weakly to his father, and he started to cry. "I promised Mash... to take her to movies on her birthday... to amu—" he coughed blood and stopped on his words.
"Don't talk!" Lancelot picked him up. He dragged his own leg, he wanted to take Galahad to the closest field doctor. Galahad was only 14. He wasn't supposed to die yet. I haven't been a good dad yet.
"Please go... with her... useless father..." Galahad said as he looked to Lancelot once more. And he closed his eyes.
Artoria watched Lancelot carrying his son away. She was on the ground, she held onto her sword. She wasn't unable to walk anymore. She had been fighting for 46 hours straight since the HQ was attacked.
One of the vampires that Lancelot had slain get up on his feet again. He looked at Artoria and was about to bite on her.
"Captain!" Bedivere tried to protect her but he fell on his steps.
Out of nowhere, a man with blue hair grabbed on his head and throw away the vampire.
"You okay, missy~?" Cu Chulainn asked as he looked over his back to Artoria with his red eyes.
A vampire? "Why do you help me?" She asked in confusion. She simply didn't understand.
"I just don't like to see pretty women get wounded," Cu said and he started to kill the other vampires. "You all should evacuate as well. Leave this to me."
The other hunters watched. That blue haired vampire was totally a pureblood. A pureblood was saving them. And they didn't understand why.
But they had no other choice. The hunters who could still move around carried the wounded. They retreated as they watched the back of the pureblood who saved them.
—
A lot of humans died. A lot of vampires died. Moriarty had gifted tragedy to the world. He managed to cover the world with chaos for three days.
The hunters were exhausted. Everyone blamed them for their incompetence. Squad 01 and Squad 02 were disbanded.
In the end, Mash's promise was unfulfilled. There were no amusement park or movies they could go. She looked at the grave of Galahad with Lancelot on her birthday. It was raining, and she didn't have an umbrella with her. She wasn't able to finish her book as she lost it in the crowd. Lancelot stopped sleeping around and decided to properly care for Mash.
"Onii-chan..." Mash's tears were flowing out. "You promised me..."
Lancelot was behind her, he had nothing to say. He could only watch his daughter cry. He wasn't even able to bring her to movies or parks on her birthday.
Solomon was still a mystery. Nobody know why he came back after 300 years of disappearance. And nobody know where he went to. He killed Moriarty and he left. It was Moriarty's victory. Even if he died, he won. And he was happy with that.
In the end, it was the pureblood with blue hair and red eyes that saved the day. He killed all the rampaging vampires. Artoria tried to annouce it to the world but it was rejected by the higher-ups. Later she investigated and found him. His name was Cu Chulainn. He told her that he was looking for his friend that never returned.
Tristan quitted his job. The doctor said his fingers were no longer usable. But what really made him quit his job was actually Iseult. She was killed by the vampires. Tristan secretly blamed himself for that. He was never seen again after that.
Merlin was still as usual. The tragedy was a great movie for him. He rested his chin and drank his orange juice on the window as he watched Mash crying on Galahad's grave. Humming his favorite song as he grinned happily.
.
.

A long time ago, there was a pureblood vampire who had no place to call home. He had lived his life alone for the longest time. Walking. Walking. Walking. He kept walking without a destination.
He didn't know his own name, but people had been calling him Siegfried. So he took that as his name.
Siegfried's memory started in front of a corpse. He didn't know whose corpse is that, but Siegfried was sure that was a beautiful man when he was alive. If only I could ask for his name.
Siegfried found his previous head a few steps away from the corpse. He didn't know why the previous him decided to end his own memories, but it must have something to do with the beautiful corpse.
Siegfried felt nostalgic when he saw that corpse. He was sure he loved that person. But he couldn't remember his name. It felt familiar when Siegfried brushed his fingers on his hair. As if he had done it thousands of time before. Siegfried smiled before he left that corpse to rest with his previous head.
Near that place, he found a body of a dark-skinned man. He had died for a few days and nobody seemed to look for him. But Siegfried was a little thirsty so he drank from that person. It wasn't good at all.
Siegfried continued his journey. Sometimes he met people who seemed to know whom he was, sometimes, enemies who tried to kill him in first sight. Living without memories was hard. He didn't know what he did in his past.
But all Siegfried want to do was one thing. He wanted to slay evil vampires.
