A younger version of Tyson was walking around the family garden during a family gala. He was looking around at the guests and then came to this man who did not look like a normal vampire. He bumped into him by accident. He apologized but the man looked at him in the eye and millions of millions of horrors entered Tyson through an illusion. Then the man accepted the apology calling him prince before moving to talk to his sister.
(Back to the present)
" Captain Void, the strongest ghast in the family. How is my sister doing?" Tyson asked.
" Prince Tyson, your sister is doing good but she asked me to bring your heart," answered Void, " Do you think you could make my mission easier by just handing it over?"
" And why the devil would i do that?" Tyson asked genuinely dumbfounded.
" Oh well, i tried the nice approach as Neil asked, now, i don't need to hold back," said Void as his murderous intent erupted onto the battlefield knocking out Bell.
This catches Tyson's attention and he snarled. He nearly charged in when TJ in his phantom wolf form charged past him like a speeding train and chewed off Crimson's entire upper mid-section. Then a silence hit the whole battlefield as they all stared at the development before them. Then Tyson was the first to realize what was about to happen. Giant spikes appeared inside of TJ's mouth and the phantom disintegrated to mist revealing a bloody mouthed TJ on the ground. Tyson was now slowly losing it when Crimson said," HAHAHAHA, young prince, this is the power given unto me by THE EXALTED ONE. Rejoice as i kill you and all of your companions."
Tyson's fangs shot out of his mouth cutting his lower lip when Maverick's voice came from the side," Kid, I need you to stay calm or we will surely die. My daughter will be fine and i know you have the ability to help TJ as long as you stay calm and hold on to the rosary you hold dear."
Tyson took a deep breath and thanked Maverick from his words. Tyson created his mana draining chains and telekinetically wrapped Crimson with them as he blitzed to TJ's position and checked on him. Crimson slowly turned to look at Tyson in horror as the man in question blitzed back into his original position with his pet wolf in his arms. He carried him to where Monica and Bell were and asked Monica to take care of them. She agreed and Tyson focused the blood from the fallen Vamp slaves to recreate ' The wall of vampire guard'. The three were surrounded by a dome of blood as Tyson said," This should keep you safe."
Monica looked at Tyson's eyes and she could see the pain they held. She wanted to help but what could she, a saint for saving lives, do against the monster before them. Tyson turned to return into the battle when Monica called out to him. He stopped and she said," Tyson, just don't die out there, okay."
" Die, ha, I'm going to win this fight," he said without turning back to look at her.
Tyson walked to stand beside Maverick and asked," How's the miss doing old man?"
" Better than you, that's for sure," said Maverick cracking a smile at him.
The two chuckled for a bit before Tyson said in a solemn voice," Maverick, I can trust you in this right?"
" Of course kid, whatever you need," said Maverick.
" Then..," Tyson began before disappearing and reappearing behind Maverick and drank some blood.
This caught Maverick off guard but he let Tyson do what he needed to do. Afterwards, he said to him to follow up on his attacks and to keep up. Maverick laughed and called Tyson arrogant. Now the two faced Crimson who was apparently still chained and Tyson asked," How long are you going to stay chained up? Those chains drain you of your mana so the longer they have you chained the more mana I'm taking from you."
Crimson broke the chains immediately and glared at Tyson sporadically. He was clearly uneasy." How do you have vampire abilities, i was under the impression you were a worthless piece of trash from a d...," began Crimson when his jaw was ripped out of his head.
Tyson stood behind him with a sort of glare and said," I hope this wasn't important 'general'."
He turned to face Tyson when Maverick charged brandishing Bell's, or rather Tyson's stolen, dagger and cut off Crimson's right arm. Crimson yelped in pain and levitated into the sky. He regenerated his jaw but his arm just refused. Then it clicked." Where in Indra's name did a backwater lumberjack get celestial steel," exclaimed Crimson in a fit of rage.
" Wait, who is this Indra you speak off?" Tyson asked.
" Indra, well she's the mother of all superior beings of the night like ghouls, ghasts, werewolves, zombies and especially vampires like you. She is the one who personally created the exalted one, a being above all others. A VAMPIRE CENTURION," Crimson announced before a giant bolt of lightning struck him to dust.
The shock of the sudden attack was still lingering on their minds when a thick and heavy feeling invaded the air oppressing them. Tyson was genuinely in fear as he fell to his knees. This only happened to him. Then from the lightning mark appeared a lone being slowly descending like a demonic god. Tyson's body refused to let him look at the being but the look he saw on Maverick's was all that he needed to know that the foe this tie was not one to mess with. The being stood at the point of impact and checked the land. All of Tyson's cells were screaming at him to run but he could not leave his allies to face that thing on their own so he focused all the mana he stole from Crimson plus his remaining blood and fueled his transformation. His claws grew out and his eyes glew. He charged at the foe with fangs bared and claws in the air but the man in question only raised a finger and pointed down. A sudden force slammed Tyson on the ground nearly killing him. Then the being said," I know you will become a threat to my master in the future and that I should kill you where you stand but simply because your rank is higher than that of a turned vampire like me, I cannot kill you without master's orders."
" But my rank was revoked," Tyson said in pain.
" Hahaha, you silly fool of a prince. The rank doesn't matter since it is only a place title. What matters is the blood and your's is of nobility. Rejoice that it was I the tenth seat of the exalted one that came here to deal with that fool crimson. I can let you live simply because i was once human hence i have impure blood. Now, until we meet again young prince," explained the vampire as he bowed and disappeared in a tornado of red spider lillies.
Maverick ran to check up on Tyson as soon as the foe left but most of his injuries were healed over." Are you okay?" Maverick asked.
" Oh, I' fine, as long as you guys are okay," answered Tyson.
" Huh," said Maverick," Just how crazy is your FAMILY?"
