Chapter 80: The Vampire:
Miko's POV:
We were all resting when the Director came.
"I think you all know the newest member of your team," says Director Flagg.
"Agent Draco Lacum reporting for duty!"
"You decided to join the team," asks Jack.
"Yes well, it makes moe sense to be a parting of the team when we're fighting the same battles, doesn't it?"
"Awesome," says Steel.
"We got other news," says Director Flagg, "there's been a vampire sighting in New Orleans. Vampires are a thing, but... Agent Lacum."
"Thee ae also vampies in my world. We should look into this."
"A vampire," I said, "we get to face an actual vampire? Cool."
"Times like this makes me glad I have a metal neck," says Steel.
. . .
We were in New Orleans.
"Anyone got the gear we need," asks Jack.
We all have vampire hunting tools.
"Remember, if this one is from my world," says Drake, "then killing him, even with the tradiTtional ways, will just make him stronger... except the Sun. That would still make him deader."
"Split up," says Jack.
. . .
Erika, Arashi, and I were checking this diner.
"Have you seen anything strange here," I asked.
"Cher, thus iz New Orleans. Whut isn't strange here?"
"Good point," I said.
"But now thet yawl mention it, thayure iz wun thang out uh thuh ordinary. Mostly thet guy cuz he's normal."
"Hi, I'm Tad Strange."
"Let's... keep moving," I said.
Jack's POV:
Roadblock, Brightmore, and I were in the Bayou.
"Will we see any zombies," asks Roadblock.
"We're here for vampires," says Brightmore.
"Doesn't mean there can't be another undead thing," says Roadblock.
"Guys, look," I said.
We saw someone dressed in a Dracula cape. We approached him slowly and quietly. Just as we were about to stake him...
"Whut is yawl doing," asks the vampire.
"We're about to kill a bloodsucker," says Roadblock.
"Yawl know Ahm gist in uh costume fahwar uh vampire convention, raht?"
We all look and see the convention. We then put our stakes behind us.
"UUUUUUUUUhhhhhhhhh... Happy Halloween," says Roadblock.
"It's Summer." The guy dressed as a vampire then walks away.
"That was embarrassing," says Brightmore.
Raf's POV:
Steel, Sunset, and I were checking out a jazz club. Steel was joining in the music while Sunset and I were actually looking for a vampire.
"So... have you seen any vampire," I asked.
"Vampire? Thus, izza jazz club, not uh joke club."
Miko's POV:
We all met up and no one has found anything.
"So far, no one's seen it," says Jack, "Drake, where were you?"
"Whayl you wee quiTte all playing deTtective, I was quiTte finding the vampie by magic. They're at the Vampie Convention. A good place to hide a vampie."
"Maybe it was that guy we found," says Roadblock.
"Let's go," says Jack.
. . .
We were at the Vampire Convention. There were a lot of people dressed as Dracula, except some guys. They're dressed more like characters from a vampire romance novel. Steel checked the guy Jack, Roadblock, and Brightmore met. He is definitely a normal guy.
I then looked at one of the romance novel guys. He didn't have a reflection. He walked away, and I followed him.
. . .
I followed the guy, but then I was grabbed by some bats.
"Allow me la introduce myself, tu can call me Mortas."
"So, you're the vampire!"
"Da, and eu'm un thirsty vampire."
Just as he was about to bite me, Drake shows up.
"Back off, Demon!"
"Dungeon Master!"
Mortas then flies off.
"We better tell the others," I said.
. . .
We were looking for Mortas. Problem is, he could be anywhere.
"I'm going to find him," says Drake, "but I may need Sunset telepathic help."
. . .
Drake and Sunset then get to work. They both started glowing and then...
"Mortas is in the Bayou," says Drake.
. . .
We were in the Bayou, looking for Mortas.
"We're looking for a vampire," says Jack, "so splitting up is not going to work in this case. Let's stick together."
So, we started searching for Mortas. Then Mortas grabbed Steel and tried to bite his neck. "What?"
"Did you not get a good look at me," asks Steel.
We started firing our NERF blasters at Mortas. Mortas tries to attack, but Sunset reveals she had garlic. Mortas then hissed. I thought that was just a thing they did in the movies. Erika held up a cross. It forced Mortas into a corner. Drake then rolled the dice, and it was a five.
"Oh no," says Drake.
Mortas then turns into this giant bat creature.
Steel then turns to his scarab mode and fights off against the bat.
"I'll try again." Drake rolls the dice, and it was a twelve.
A portal then opens, and it sucks in Mortas.
"Take that, Batty," says Steel.
. . .
We were at the jazz club. Steel was joining in the music again.
"So, why did you decide to join us," asks Jack.
"Like I said, it was purely logic."
Jack had a look that said Drake was hiding something. Maybe he was.
In the next chapter, the team meets Hanazuki.
