“Lynion Radio Network here today,” started a female’s voice as it rang out through his head. “June 5th, 1945, our beloved Queen Eliza was assassinated by Japanese Forces...” Vamp’s head feels like its about to explode as the voices flood his head. “Today, September 23rd 1975, Queen Esther and King Lankan were assassinated today...” The figure cupped his head with his hands as words echoed in his head. “Today, June 45th 2000, King Macus died today after a virus entered his body...” Those words rang through his head as he shakes his head. “Lynion Radio Network here. We have being informed that King Ranakin and his brother King Xiahou were assassinated...” Vamp suddenly screams at the top of his head.

Vamp struggled to gain control of himself as he fell out of the bed. He woke up as he looked around at the rising sun could be seeing breaking over the northern part of Lynion. He picked himself up as two Imperial Guardians entered the room. They looked around as Vamp knotted a robe around him.

“Everything alright sire?” asked one of the Imperial Guardians.

“I just had a nightmare,” replied Vamp as sweat poured over his face. “I’m due at Lynscert Island in a couple of hours. I might take the train over for a change so I’ll have my breakfast when I board the train,”

“I’ll make sure it’s done sire,” replied the Guardians as they left Vamp alone.

Vamp look out to the horizon as he dreamt of seeing Eliza’s face again. He felt the cool air blow past him as he notice a cloud that looked like Eliza’s face. He studied it more carefully before blinking and realising he was day-dreaming. Vamp quickly got dressed in his Vamperial Uniform (looks like a vampire hunter) before walking out into the hallway. He wondered past Michael’s chamber as he had a quick look into it and saw a drunken Michael around several girls in his bedroom.

‘What a disgrace to the Royal name,’ thought Vamp to himself as he left the chambers and slammed the door behind him causing Michael and his girls to wake up.

Late in the Afternoon

Michael was fully awake as he bumped into Taishi Ci and knocked him over. He looked down on Ci as he spat across his face before kicking him in the stomach. Afraid to be further beaten, Taishi Ci allowed the beaten to go for a few more minutes before being forced into a nearby room.

“What the blazes is this for?” whimper Taishi Ci.

“Ohh...as if you don’t give a damn,” snapped back Michael as he picked up Taishi Ci and threw him cross the room. “You’re grandfathers bloody favourite. You get his attention and he acts like I never exist,”

“He cares about you Mike,” replied Taishi Ci before being punched across the face. “Guards!”

“Don’t bother about the guards,” yelled Michael as he picked up the badly beaten cousin and tied his hands and feet together. “I’ve given them a 20 minute break which is enough time to get you out of here,”

Michael tossed the tied up Taishi Ci over his back as he started to head out the back. He quickly turned around as he was greeted by his wife Ashley she giggled at the sight of Taishi Ci before turning around. Her eyes met with the eyes of Taishi Ci’s lover, Esther as the hallway went silent before Michael realised what was happening. The cold stare between the girls and the frighten look from Esther made everything feel sour. Esther turned around and fled towards the guards after Michael, Ashley and the captured Taishi Ci rushed outside.

Esther ran down to the gates of the palace as she panted for a moment. She pointed back to the palace and told them about the kidnapping of Taishi Ci by Michael his cousin. Shouting could be heard as the Imperial Guardians returned to the Palace in mass numbers as they secured the remaining members of the Royal Family while the remaining numbers attempted to find Taishi Ci and Michael but were too late. Esther rushed with Mavax as they watched a Blackhawk land on a surface light cruiser which was sailing out to sea.

“Guardians,” shouted Mavax. “Secure the Royal Family and secure Vamp in case they attempt to kidnap any others. Also dispatch patrol ships and get Vamp back here,”

2 Hours later

Vamp was ushered into the Royal Chambers as a combination of Imperial Guardians, Assassins and Sentry Droids had gathered to guard the Royal Family. He looked around as he went over to Esther who was crying onto Queen Kryxtal shoulder. He knelt down to Esther’s height as he turned her to face him gently. He removed his slouch hat as he strokes her hair for a moment.

“Who did this?” whispered Vamp.

“It was his cousin and that bitich Ashley,” sobbed Esther as her eyes became glassy before going back to Kryxtal.

“Can you take care of her?” Vamp asked Kryxtal before she nodded her head towards him.

Vamp turned to leave the chambers before he was stopped by Rebecca. He looked to face her as he somehow knew what she was going to say. His throat was lumped with something as he gulped it down before a crispy cold wind blew past him. Her eyes were covered in tears as she asked those mortal words that haunt any relative.

“What are you going to do with Michael?” she asked.

“If he is wise, he’ll be stripped of his Royalty and become a prisoner for God knows how long,” replied Vamp before being stopped by Rebecca again.

“What if...what if he doesn’t give up?” she sobbed.

Vamp turned to face her before thinking about it for a moment. He might have to kill the child of a relative he has and to give pain to the mother of Michael. His hands were slightly shaking as those words were stuck in his head.

“Vamp...?” whispered Rebecca. “VAMP!! What are you going to do?” she yelled as Vamp left the palace. “What are you going to do with my child?”

Vamp walked outside as he was joined with Mavax. He had taken the lives of assassin’s, killers, murderers, and the enemy that stood before them in battle but now...now he was forced to decide the fate of a relative. Vamp looked to the stars as he remembered those words he once gave to Eliza before he went into exile.
“No matter what happens to us Eliza,” those words began in his head. “I’ll always protect our offspring and their offspring until the end of time itself,”

“Mavax, I’m going to go down to the radar station and dispatch a telegram to the world,” started Vamp. “Maybe we can find a lead that’ll help us find my grandson. I want you to get the orbital batteries back online and find out if they can trace Taishi Ci. Also get the navy and find out any light cruisers that went missing and see if we can track their radio signals. Maybe that can give us a hint,” finished Vamp.

“It will be done sire,” replied Mavax as he went off to another direction.

Vamp looked up as he started to the Radar Station. If there was one thing that never failed them, it was the voices of the people around the world. If anyone sees a lone Lynion light cruiser sailing in any direction, it’ll give them the key to rescuing Taishi Ci and finishing off Michael.

TO: World Leaders
FROM: Vamperial Kingdom of Lynion, High King Vamp

Good morning/afternoon/evening people of this world. In case no-one knows, Lynion just had its second in line to throne abducted by the third in line to throne. It isn’t known at this time what he wants, but for us to find him, we need the ears and eyes of the world to help us.

About 1703 late in the afternoon, King Taishi Ci was abducted by his older cousin King Michael. Like I said before, we’re not sure why but we think it could be to do with the leadership of Lynion. Michael was last seen heading north-west from Lynion onboard the Lynion Light Cruiser Timer with the identification numbers LC-56 on the side of the cruiser. If you see this cruiser, it would be welcome that you inform us and if possible follow it at a distance but don’t board it because it can risk the life of Taishi Ci.

Information will be rewarded with money. However, we strongly discourage any actions of capturing Michael and his mercenaries alive because it can risk the life of Taishi Ci and we can’t risk his life.

I hope we can get something out of this.

A soft beeping could be heard from one of the Ships in the fleet, a whole fleet laying in a muddled order loosly gathered around a Tanker, a single Battleship, seven Battle Axe Crusiers, and five aresenal ships were clustered togethor loosly with no apparent method to the maddness.

*beep**beep**beep* Went a alarm in the Captains quaters, grumbling loudly he moved to the microphone, giving himself time inbetween to fetch a cup of joe.

"Ok peoples" he muttered into the micro phone his voice soon ringing out across the ship and then the fleet
"Wakey wakey, eggs and bacy" he chuckled, "that should wake them up" he thought. a few minutes passed and nothing happened

Sighing deeply he reached underhisdesk and pulled out a great big whopping air horn.
PFWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANT it screamed into the mirc, and the combined personel of the whole fleet woke with a jolt as they were quite literatly scared out of there beds.
"GET TO WORK!" Bellowed Admiral Rosfeild as he finished buttoning up his uniform.

Hours Later.
The fleet, now looked something like a fleet, with a definate order the Battleship next to the Tanker and the BattleAxes to the right of it, while the arsenal ships in the center, also several dozen smaller Patrol craft seemed to have sprung from nowhere.

a sleepy looking officer shamlbed up to theadmiral giving a horrible salute he muttered
"We have spotted a lone Lynion ship, not to far from here"
"Could it be lost?" Rosfeild mused
"does it look like i could give a flying fork now?"
"no, set a course for its general direction dont make it to obvious, bring down the kewen flag and whack up a random flag wtih a hodge podge of colors and a skull and bones on it"
"Aye"

"Hey Michael," shouted the captain on the ship as the cruiser broke through the waves.

"What is it? Do I have to do everything myself?" snapped back Michael as he was given field glasses and pointed in a direction. "Oh hell! It seems that someone is following us. How long until..."

"Friendly warships coming portside," said a mercenary.

Michael looked to the portside as he took a bottle of whisky and started to drink it. He looked through the glasses as he toasted to the warships before turning to the captain.

"Now we got some protection. I'm going to the hull to see...my guest of honour," he said in a drunken sense before going below deck.

"Bloody idoit," muttered the captain to himself as a battle fleet of Pirate Alliance warships could be sighted.

Pirate Alliance warships joined them as they started for a safe haven. They formed a battle formation around the light cruiser with battleships forming up the rear. The cruiser sped up a little as they started to become more and more curious about the ships being sighted behind them.

In th hull

Michael entered the hull as he found Taishi Ci with his hands and feet chained to a prison wall. Blood drew from Taishi Ci wounds as Michael threw the bottle at him casuing blood to draw from more wounds across his head and troso.

"It seems that we have someone tailing us," whispered Michael as he bashed Taishi Ci across the head. "If its your grandfather, then he's going to regret it,"

(hey lynion can I harbor Michael?)

OOC: So, is this a character thread, or a national one?

ooc: RAWR! i dibbed meeting the on the run micheal first!

OOC: OOC goes into the OOC thread of Change of Command.

Ralkovia: Michael has a safe haven, don't expect to find it so easily though. So the answer to your question is no. You can intercept him, but you can't dirvert him

Leistung: National but you can use characters if you wish

Kewen: You will meet Michael first. Just try and catch him first.

Rosfeild eyed the small and skinny officer before him cautiously,
"what is it?" he huffed
"Sir, it seems the lone Lynion warship has been surrounded by pirates and is being escorted somewhere should we intercept and help it?"
"Hmm.. i smell a reward brewing, change course and give full power to the engines!"

The Kewen fleet made another small course correcting and increased its speed anymoment now it would get pretty close to the lynion fleet.

"Sir, unidentified warships coming towards us," shouted the radar operator.

"All hands to battle stations," ordered the pirate captain. "This could be the real thing people!"

"This is the...er...Home Coming calling unidentified warships. You are coming too close to us. Identify yourself or we will fire upon you,"

"Attention Pirate Forces, This is the Mercenary BattleFleet Forward Untill Lunch, you will hand over that Lyinion vessel you have captured or be destroyed!" Said Rosfeild in response as his fleet readied his guns
"We do not know, how or do not care why you have captued this cruise but we are going to return it to the Lynion if you do not surrender"

"Ha!" laughed Michael over the intercom. "The Lynion ship is mine idoit! Hmm...mercenaries hey? I tell you what, how about I pay you to be part of my little idea 'ey? Payment will be done later but I'm sure we can to an agreement,"

Michael turned around as he could see hundreds of warships anchored at the haven waiting for him. There was the burning of a flag that could be seen on the deck as he realised it was a Lynion flag being burnt.

"Hmmm, you have peaked my interest" said Rosfeild as he tweaked his beard,
"But we have previous appointments we need to visit and to..drop off some "hot" cargo" he broke of with a deep laugh
"but, i'll leave the Battleship Brunch, and its cruiser escorts Tea and Time along with the arsenal ship Honor under your command, to make sure we work out a good bargin, and get paid when we finish our current job, ill see if command might be able to send a few more ships over and we' can work out the finer details then"
Rosfeild, assuming the bargining was over directed most of his fleet back to there orignal course, along the lynion border and headed to some unstable nation not to far away to deliver the nuclear warhead.

The Battleship and its escorts broke off and headed to the pirates

"Hey sire," started the lieutenant. "Those warships have broken off in a different direction,"

"Do I look like I care?" snapped back Michael. "Keep an eye on them in case they back stab us,"


Lynion war party

"Unidentify warships coming off starboard side," shouted the lieutenant across the bridge to the captain.

"Get the destoryers to send out the signal to the nearby air bases in case something goes wrong," ordered the captain as he took the field glasses and went out onto the deck of the aerial destoryer.

He scanned the warships under them as four other aerial warships joined his own. He looked at them as he realised they weren't pirates but didn't have a flag raised. The captain studied the ships one last time before going back onto the bridge and over to the radio to call them.

"This is the Royal Vamperial Aerial Destoryer Hunter calling unidentify warships. You shall cut your engines, inform us of who you are and what nation do you come from and be prepared to be boarded," stated the captain into the radio.

"oh crud" thought Rosfeild " we really stepped in it this time"
"Raise the Kewen Flag" he bellowed into the intercom, he was answered by most of the ships in the fleet rasise the flag instantly, the others following suit pretty soon.

"Hello,Royal Vamperial Aerial Destoryer this is your friendly neighbor hood Merchantile Kewen Fleet, were just shuffling some legal goods from one place to another no trouble is there?" Rosfeild said cooly, while his officers in the background rolled on the floor with silent laughter

"And I'm Uncle Sam," replied the captain. "Be prepared to be boarded. If you don't cut your engines, we'll fire a warning shot and if you fail again, then we'll make sure we won't miss,"

Boarding crews were getting ready as Seahawks were being loaded with Lynion Hunters who were keen to board the Kewen warships. Two seahawks and to blackhawks took off as they started for the Kewen warships.

Michael's fleet

Michael stumble back into the bridge as he pressed against the radio that the unidentify ships could listen to if they were tapping in. He took his bottle of rum and drank it greedily as he boasted about something.

"Hows the prisoner?" asked the captain.

"Taishi Ci? That idoitic cousin of mine still thinks Vamp is coming after us! Haha! That idoit has no hope," laughed Michael before closing the radio frequency with his butt again.

"Cut the engines" said Rosfeild dejectidly
"What did we do? were just hauling some freight here and there"
moving away from the radio he said
"If one rad of radiation is detect I'LL HAVE ALL YOUR HIDES!"

Micheals Fleet.
Like any good money grubbing person, the whole fleet was attuned to this, Chuckling the captain ordered the Hopper sub which had accomapnied him to disengage from the underside of the destroyer, wait a bit them move to someplace safe and call for the Forward Untill Lunch.

"We just had our king kidnap earlier this day. Anyhow, if we don't find anything, then we'll let you go. However, we'll be greatful if you have any information about Taishi Ci's dissappearance," replied the captain.

He looked out to the blackhawks as they started to board the flagship. The seahawks unloaded the men as they boarded the ship. Teams of eight Lynion Hunters landed onto the deck of the flagship. 24 Lynion Hunters with helicopter support reached the bridge as they raised their Styers in case resistance was met.

"Captain Rust," started the vampire as it opened the door to the bridge. "3rd Lynion Hunter battalion, 85th Company. Now, I'm going to make this easy for the both of us, we need you to allow us to inspect your ships for this person,"

Rust showed the officer a photograph of a high king and two kings. There was a head taken out and one with a red circle around it. Under it was 'Taishi Ci, King of Lynion'.

On the deck, kewen saliors miled about randomly as they watched the Lynion soilders land on there ship.
"Errm...Sure, you can inspect outship, we have nothing to hide, just your standard cargo shipment."

a few of the officers behind him mumbled a few obcenaties and were silenced by a few swift kicks.
"Just a query, but would this kiddnape have anything to do with a lone Lynion Cruiser was saw in this area" a hint of greed edged into Rosfeilds voice.

Near Micheals fleet.
The Hopper Micro sub surfaced a few minutes later, with most if not all the pirates gone it made a mad dash for the Kewen Fleet, and began to broadcast a message.

Back on the Forward Untill Lunch
S'cuse me for a second" said Rosfeild as he mopved to his desk, flipping on his UV light the hidden Keypad was illuminated typing in his pincode a secondary screen appeared, bright green letters appeared
"Oh boyo.." he said before he turned it off and shut it down again.

Rust listened to those words as he got supesicous about what he said. He wasn't worried about the shipment at the moment nor was he really concern what the others thought about him.

"Lone cruiser?" questioned Rust. "The man we're after took off in a Lynion cruiser. Did you see anything else?"

"Maybe, my mmorys gone a bit fuzzy you see" said Rosfeild, the officers behind him went back to guiding the now reutnred Hopper sub tos its dock.

"Don't be stupid boy," snapped back Rust. "I know you know something about it. However, if I remember right..." Rust took out his PDA and it showed a poster about the disappearance of Taishi Ci. "...there's a bounty on the location of Micheal and any information about him. If its positive, then you be looking at around 500 million USD's,"

Rosfeilds only reaponse was to lean backwards and tap a key.

A crystal clear recording came out
"Hows the prisoner?" asked the captain.

"Taishi Ci? That idoitic cousin of mine still thin--was all that came out, Rosfeild tapped the key again ending it
"answer yer question dont it?"

The other Hunters entered the bridge as Rust listened to the insult that was given to them. Rust listened to it as he suddenly changed into a werewolf.

"Taishi Ci Kingston is a member of the Royal Family of Lynion, grandson to High King Vamp and not one soul of the Royal Family has married a Human in over a thousand years. They have no cousins that are Human because all previous kings and queens have either being assassinated or killed by a virus except Vamp," replied Rust. "There is no Royal Human Lynion's left in existance and they have no distance cousins. Now, if we can side with the remarks, what else do you know?"

When the Lynion changed to a wolf infront of him, Rosfeild wasnt surprised at all, having being paranoid enough to request every ship sent in the direction of lynion armed with a generous amount of "wooden steaks" and of course "silver bullets", he was a fan of horror movies so this didnt phase him one bit.

"down man down, you may be a wolf an all, and be vampy for all i care, but please for the sake of my reports dont go wolfy on me, also dont take that tone with me, Im a paraniod man, and when i learnt we'd be going near your country i took precautions" he pointed to the three guards in the corner behind him
"Those guns are armed with "silver bullets" no pun intended, the rounds are standatd nato sized, but the core is highly classfied, lets just say when it gets in you, you will be filled with Melting Hot silver quicker then a smelter, so please play nice, as for what i know, what do i get for knowing?"

"Have you realised that you're getting closer to Lynion?" asked Rust as he pointed to another group of aerial warships could be seen coming about the starboard side after Rust took out his PDA again. "About the information...Hmmm...the reward is between 100 million and 500 million USD's. It depends how soild the information is and if it takes us to Michael's hide out," finished Rust.

Yawning slightly Rosfeild stated
"is GPS trackinng accurate to a KM and, the message i just showed you solid enough? if not i can just go about my way, i mean the ships i left to guard that fugitive of yours obviously cant be solid enough to be tracked right?" he ended sarcastically

The PDA went off for a moment as Rust checked it for a moment before looking up to the guys.

"Skipper we got the information its somewhere further up north and the Kewen warships are tracking it," Rust said into his intercom before listening it for a few moments. "Are you sure...ok...they won't like it thought..." replied Rust. "Alright, command has being picky over the past few days with Taishi Ci dissappearance. However, protocol must be met to the word. Command has dispatched two Super Sonic jets to find out about the location of Michael. Until they give us a detail report, you and your warships will be detained on Lynscert Island. Just one question before we go: what do you trade with and how do you know whats legal in Lynion and what's not?" finished Rust.

"we trade with various nations around the world, this and that supplies,arms weapons, you know standard stuff, and when i said legal, i ment,usually legal in most countries."

"What about Rouge Factions like Pirates?" asked Rust as they started for Lynscert Island in Lynion. "Also, tell your pilot to follow our ships. By the way..." Rust looked at his PDA again as he gave a straight face to make his bluff. "...how many nuclear weapons do you have onboard? Because we got radiation readings,"

Rosfeild, knew perfectly well this man was bluffing, one thing one shoujld never do in ones life, and that is to try and bluff a kewen Admiral, not only where the top Navel Personel renowend for there greed, but they also could play the poker with the devil, and walk away with the deeds to hell in there pocket.

Rosfeild, by no amount of luck had won the kewen poker tournament twenty three times in a row, the grandchamp.
"Please, my grandkids can put on a better poker face than that, you should get your instruments check, or actually send men down into the cargo hold before you say something nuclear" Rosfeild chuckled but the officers behind him were nervous
"We trade, any and everything with any and everyone"

"Come to think of it, our boys will be checking the cargo bay when we which...," started Rust. "Actually, there's Lynscert Island. When you make port, your boys will be required to leave the ship and everything onboard. If there's any nuclear weapons onboard, then it stays onboard until the Interceptors come back," finished Rust.

"heh yea...no, were not leaving out ships, not that we dont trust , its just we dont leave out ships, your welcome to inspect them board then near enough whate ever you please, but we aint leaving" reaching under a draw and pulling out a small PDA he handed it to the Lynion man

"here, that will give you the location of our ships which are with your Prince/King Tashi Ci"

"Hold on one second sir," replied Rust as he went over to a nearby corner to listen to his intercom before coming back over. "Well, we got some news for you. You can leave when you're ready. Our fly-boys were fired upon and they found where Taishi Ci went. I've got a suggestion for your ships out there. If they hang around for another month at the most, they'll be fired upon when the Vamperial Navy and Air Force goes after the Haven. Anyhow, you'll be paid 100 million USD's," finished Rust.

"and the other 400million of the 500million?"

"Additional 400 million?" replied Rust as he picked up his PDA. "Sorry, but strong information such as your's is worth 100 million USD's. However, because you got ships already in there, we're willing to give you 250 Million USD's in total. Its for the troubles you've gotten yourself into," finished Rust.


Lynscert Island, Lynion

With the information secured and the positio of the Haven found, High King Vamp gathered together Vamperial Headmaster General Jian, Vamperial Sky Headmaster Lee, Grand Vamperial Headmaster Woff and Vamperial Headmaster Mavis into a large chamber in the Vamperial Order. They had maps of the Haven rolled out as well as Lynion itself with dots of navy positions.

"Taishi Ci has being taken to Haven Island for the time being and we need to make sure they stay there," started Vamp. "Now, recon planes went over the island and there's photograph of two possible routes getting onto the island. The first is the back way over the cliff tops and landing behind the main base where there's little AA position or we wage an aerial and naval battle to blocakard them as well as challange their naval forces. Any reports on their numbers?" asked Vamp.

"We're expecting numbers close to 200 warships," replied Jian. "We'll need at least 250-300 warships to subdue them and sink the bulk of their navy,"

Vamp listened to the reports as he thought about the plan that was going to take place. He studied the maps as thoughts came into his mind about Taishi Ci and the possible chance he could be dead. No, he couldn't think of it because he needed to make sure that Taishi Ci can get out of it and kill the tratorius Michael. The only thought that dawned on him was, what would he tell Rebecca?

"trouble? no such thing as trouble, just varying degrees of payment, but 250 seems like a decent enough amount, but it would depend on how much my boys get out of this micheal charater.


Deeper within the ship, the comm's officer was working out a planet with the ships stationed with micheal. While down in the cargo hold, the nucealr warhead was put in a small shipping container and gently lowered inbetween a huge pile of lead, and then covered with lead bars, a rope was put around it and marked
"Cargo item 432 desintantion, Manouver port."
that would make sure no radiation leaked out.

"What do you know about Michael?" repiled Rust. "If your boys are up for the challenege, do you want to earn double of waht you have now? If you get Taishi Ci out alive without killing Michael because we have to deal with him, then we might give you 500 million USD's for your trouble,"

It was during this time that they came into range of the capital artillery weapon stationed somewhere in the Hunter Mountains and the Hell Ring anti-shipping guns on the islands. They also drew the attention of a flight of Seekers passing over with Dingo Fighter Jet escort.

The Kewen ships, still kept on following the lynion ones, not resisting in anyway.

"Oh nothing much, besides hes someone important in your country, and we are always interested in money, always."

With Micheal and the pirate fleet, A small plan was being forumlated
"Hail pirate fleet, and michael, we were wondering if we can talk in person and arrange payment."

Inbound to Lynion, Pacific Jin Ocean

"You're feel to go," finished Rust. "Once you turned around and started for sea, payment will be given to you. Don't ask why, its just how things are run,"

Rust went out onto the deck and awaited for the Blackhawks to come pick them up. He knew deep down that something was happening way out in the ocean and he'll be part of the force sent there.

Haven Island

"Copy that, you can on the docks when you're ready," replied the captain of the Lynion light cruiser as Michael bought Taishi Ci out onto the deck as they weigh anchor next to the dock.

Taishi Ci was badly beaten and had a log tied to his hands behind his head which gave him splinters as he was forced to march bare foot over warm grounds towards the new prison. Michael kept his sword in Taishi Ci's back as they marched onwards. Mercenaires and pirates spat on Taishi Ci as he walked past them and onto into the prison. Michael smiled as he wiped Taishi Ci from time to time as well as once smash a rifles butt across his head for the sake of it. They went on towards the pirson as the log was removed and Taishi Ci collasped to the ground. He was out of air before he was turned around and chained to a pole at the arms and the feet before being lifted half a metre into the air. He hanged there like Jesus Christ at the cross with his hands stretched out and his legs wrapped around the pole. Tears flowed from his eyes as the badly bruised body was regularly spat at or rocks were thrown at him by passing by mercenaries and pirates.

'Goodbye Vamp,' thought Taishi Ci to himself as he felt his life started to leave him. 'Goodbye my lover Esther. I'll never forget you and you'll always be part of my last thoughts,' finished Taishi Ci before fainting due to the beatings and the regular insults thrown at him.

Vamperial Order, Lynscert Island, Vamperial Kingdom of Lynion

"We got the location of Michael, Vamp," announced Woff as he came into the main chambers and rolled out a map of Haven Island. "the island can't be landed except through the front of the island where there's a cavern. If Taishi Ci..."

"Taishi Ci is alive," snapped back Vamp. "Don't you dare presume he's dead,"

"Sire...I know the boys is your grandson but can In contiune?" replied Woff before Vamp nodded to him. "If Taishi Ci was anywhere on the island, it would be close to the docks. I suggest we encircle Michael with the surface and aerial warships encircling the island and cutting off any attempts to retreat. While the navy engages the Pirate Alliance warships, a raiding party will land from the other side of the island and enter the cavern via the roof. If we're quick enough, we can captures Taishi Ci and take down Michael at the same time," finished Woff.

"How many Pirate Alliance warships will we be facing?" asked Vamp.

"Close to 260," replied Woff.

"Assemble a fighting force of 350 warships and ask Imperial Australia to dispatch those new prototypes of their's they've being dying to use," ordered Vamp.

"It will be done sire," finished Woff.

One kewen merc, walked up to the chained and bound Tashi, and smacked him around with his fist a few times, it looked like a bout of random hate, but infant his first blow was the only hard one a very minute plastic chip was pushed into Tashi's cheek while the outpatch looked like skin disguising it alot, the mercs eyes if tashi was looking would of seemed full of kindness as the other punches were just fake, they looked painful but just light punches.

"Lock established"
"great, prepare the teams"


Back in lynion
"Hmm, would it be okay if we stayed in your waters for a bit,since this is pretty close by, and the pirates wont dare attack us, since we are a bit vulnerable right now."

Lynscert Harbour, Vamperial Kingdom of Lynion

Rust looked at the captain as the Blackhawk came closer to them. He thought about it for a moment and then remembered their policy.

"We can give you a navy escort if you require it, however, because of the recent stir, I doubt any warship will be escorting you so your going have to stay in Lynscert harbour until either the warships from Union arrive or the war ends," finished Rust.

Rust looked around as fleets and squadrons of aerial warships were starting to set sail to one of the biggest naval battles Lynion was going to take part of. To join the Lynions are the point before the Battle for Haven Sea beguns were the Imperial Australian 4th, 8th and 5th Imperial Fleets. Vamperial numbers were to number close to 400 warships in total.

Haven Island

Taishi Ci was transport into a seperate chamber where the only light was coming from a 4 metre open in the roof. Blood ran from a wound across his face as he smashed a few times by a mercenary before feeling a plastic chip against his cheek. He was too weak to raise his head as his arms were raised up as if he was against a cross and his arms were chained to the poles with chains that cut into his skin. His legs were wrapped around in a chain and had a very small platform under his feet which was a metre from the ground. He was stripped of his torso armour which showed his extremely fit body and covered in cuts, bruises and whipping cuts. He was teased with salt water which sting his wounds and eyes. Michael came in from time to time to smash Tiahsi Ci with a rifle's butt, a metal stake with the end covered in fire elbems or from time to time, Taishi Ci was used a boxing bag. Taishi Ci was forced to take in the beating as wounds started to look infected. All he could pray for was the hope his grandfather would save him in time.

HMS Annihilator, International Waters

As the SH-60R returned from dropping a Strike Team into Amerganastan, another left the Zumwalt Class Destroyer (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zumwalt_class_destroyer) and boarded it. This time, they were flying out to Lynion. Word was that a member of the Lynion Royal Family had been kidnapped. The 8 man team climbed into the helicopter. Unlike the other team, who had been equipped for a covert mission, this would likely end in an all-out firefight. With that in mind, their weapons were not silenced, and they carried XM8 Rifles. The snipers carried M107 Sniper Rifles. Alongside the regular troops, who wore black body suits, full face masks and helmets, there was someone else. An SRPD Officer. He wore the same body suit and mask as the others, but he wore a black leather trenchcoat over the suit and a peaked officers cap bearing the emblem of the SRPD.

The doors of the Seahawk closed and it lifted off, keeping under radar range as it approached Lynion.

Lynion was on Red Alert as masses of warships were gathering just inside their waters when Defensive Island #6 spotted an incoming target. Two AU-1 Rotorless choppers were scrambled as they went out to intercept the unknown classification. The choppers were heading towards Lynscert Island as the AA systems were put on Code Red and flights of Dingo's and Interceptors were preparing to take off.

"This is Dog 5 calling unidentify chopper, either leave Lynion airspace or land on Lynscert Island," started the AU-1 chopper as it ran alongside the unknown chopper. "Unidentify chopper please identify yourself and state your business,"

The team aboard the helicopter heard the transmission. They looked around at each other, and then at the officer. He looked back at them, then signalled for the helicopter to continue on course. He clicked his radio on

"This is Merlin 1 of the Special Research & Projects Division" came the voice. It was distorted, not a true human voice.

"I beleive you have a missing royal family member?" he asked

"More bounty hunters then," muttered a voice on the radio.

"You could be wasting your time here with the conflict," replied the other friendlier voice. "However, if you're crazy like everyone else, then head to Lynscert Island for a breifing about the situation. Also piece of advice, Vamperial is in a slight snappy mood today about his grandson, so excuse him if he snaps at you,"

As the reply came in, the officer signalled to the pilot to change course

"Very well" he replied. The Seahawk diverted towards Lynscert Island. It came in low over the water and landed with a thud on the island. The officer stepped out and waited for the others to do the same.

OOC: I'm just going have to speed this section up a little

IC:

Two sentry droids and a Vamperial Assassin Officer came over to the newcomers as the chopper landed. He had the patch of the anchor on his left shoulder meaning he was part of the Navy Assassin's which were going to take part of the upcoming battle.

"Sir if you follow me," started the officer as he lead the newcomers towards the Vamperial Order Temple. "Things have being developing over the past week and we're about to take part in a naval battle. I'll quickly show you to the commander,"

They walked up the staircase as they entered the marble hallways of the Vamperial Order but with no paintings of anyone but paintings of Lynion and the Pacific Jin Ocean. They passed by Vamperial Guardians as runners were busy sending messages back and forth to the commanders. The officer showed his id to a Vamperial Guardian as the werewolf lowered its sword as it looked over the newcomers carefully just in case there was any signs of them being pirates.

"Vamperial has being waiting for these men," replied the werewolf in a deep tone.

"Just give us a little time," replied the officer as he defended the new comers. "They just being dropped off and I think Vamperial has being a little edgy about Taishi Ci,"

The werewolf nodded his head as the officer went into the main chambers. Insider were five Vamperial Headmasters and High King Vamperial. They were over looking some maps as the officer saulted before Vamperial Grand Headmaster Woff noticed them.

"And these men are part of..." started Woff as he waited to hear what section these men were from.

OOC: Is this the same Vamp I met back in Sky Of Aces?

The team followed the assassin into the main chambers. As they entered the rooms, a Werewolf stopped them. While the others were taken aback slightly by this, the Officer didn't flinch - he'd seen this before.

"And these men are part of..." started Woff as he waited to hear what section these men were from.

The officer stepped forward "Special Research & Projects Division - that's all i'm permitted to say about my superiors" his voice had not changed from how it sounded over the radio to the Lynions "And, for the record, we're not bounty hunters"

OOC: Different Vamp. That was called General Vamp Lucus he died ten years after the Fungi War in 1943. This is High King Vamperial Kingston he went into exile in 1942 after the Battle for Lynion staged by the Japanese.

IC:

Woff was somehow known to pick up the slightest things about the Humans. He put it out of his mind for the moment as Woff changed into a werewolf for the moment to see who flinches and who doesn't.

"The pilots presume you were bounty hunters because we had a few coming for the money though I doubt your in it for the money?" started Woff as the man in blood red coloured clothing stood beside him. "Special Research & Projects Division eh? So I doubt your part of the Spec Ops then?" finished Woff as the man next to him turned out to be a vampire.

OOC: Ah, Ok

"More secret than any special forces" replied the Officer "We answer to no Government - we are seperate from all nations"

He looked at the vampire. He'd seen that before too.

"So, what are you planning?"

OOC: Sonic is also the same man from Sky of Aces.

IC:

"We've being massing an armada of about 400 warships from Lynion and Imperial Australia," started the vampire. "Before it goes ahead, we're landing spec ops under the command of Vamp to rescue Taishi Ci before the battle starts in the morning. We have a tracking signal which must've being planted on Taishi Ci by Kewen Mercenaries. When we got word the Taishi Ci has being rescued and Michael killed, our navy which would already be engaging the Pirate Alliance warships which number around 250 warships, will be able to target the island without fear of killing Taishi Ci and our boys. You interested in the rescue attempt?" asked the vampire.

"Sounds like you'll have enough on your plate with the battle" said the Officer "We're in"

He turned away and spoke into his radio

"Merlin-1? Yeah, we'll need the crate"

"I then suggest you go into the next room and met your Lynion buddies," replied the vampire. "Get to know some of them before you and them take off to the rescue. If there's any question either ask myself or Woff,"

"Alright" said the Officer as their second Seahawk dropped a crate to the waiting soldiers. They prised the top off the crate and removed the weapons inside. The weapons were BSW-72 "Blacksaw" assault rifles. A nasty piece of kit, firing uranium tipped bullets. And for the Officer, a HE 44. Magnum. Based off a Colt 1911 Pistol base, the HE Magnum's rounds were tipped with micro explosive devices connected to a radio transmitter. Along the barrel of the pistol was written "You Can Run, But You Can't Hide" in small letters.

Four hours later, 1500 hours
Vamperial Order Temple, breifing room

The room was full with generals, navy captains, Headmasters, Knights Commanders and of course, Ustio North troops. The same man from the day before came into the room and the holograph of Haven Island and positions of Vamperial and Imperial Australia warships.

"My name is High King Vamperial Kingston and now its time we end this decade long war with the Pirate Alliance and the end of the traitor Michael," started Vamp as he walked to the hologram of the island. "The Pirate Alliance is expected to be numbered close to 240 warships which consist of heavy and light cruisers, battleships, destoryers and frigates. These sailors are well experienced but they aren't advance in technology but don't underestimate them," it showed the positions of Pirate Alliance warships which were at the south east point of the island. "Now, at 2200 hours tonight, a detachment of 40 men inculding men from Special Research & Projects Division will go under the cover of darkness. Now I understand that its too soon but we got a tip off that Michael is planning to send Taishi Ci away from the island tomorrow so we can't delay this operation another hour. Lee can you go into the details?" Vamp finished as he went to the side for the moment.

A younger man with his slouch still on came to the front and arrows of where the operation was going to go were shown on the hologram. Lee had a deeper voice and had a commanding feeling in his speeches.

"Vamp is right, if we don't do it tonight, then we might not get Taishi Ci back. Blackhawk MK 2's are going to take off from the aerial aircraft carrier Devil and take the north east route and land on top of the island. Now recently, satelite intel have informed us that Michael as light AA cover over the island and he depends on the frigates and destoyers to provide that extra AA fire. Now the Blackhawk MK 2's have no rotor's because it's used to land troops discretely under the cover of darkness so don't worry about the rotor's giving your position away. Once landed, we have a signal that is on Taishi Ci that was given to him by Kewen Mercenaries that landed on the island earlier. Taishi Ci will be held in an open dentention block by what we have gathered from the mercenaries on the ground (OOC: Not Kewen Mercs). Taishi Ci isn't going to be at full strength by what we have heard so we're going have to send a pair of Imperial Guardians to help get Taishi Ci onto the choppers. Once you have boarded the choppers and have Taishi Ci with you, you'll head west for 15 minutes before changing cours to south west and land on a medical ship. However, we realise that the frigates and the destoryers are likely going to be on that position when you flee," started Lee. "We're not going to let this happpen. 400 warships from Lynion and Imperial Australia will engage the Pirate Alliance 240 warships at Haven Island thus they'll be forced to engage Lynion and Imperial Australian warships. Once you're at the medical ship, it'll sail back to Lynion with a four aerial destoryer escort and you'll have air cover if you require it. Is there any questions?" finished Lee.

Its likely that if you find Taishi Ci nearby, Michael is likely to be close to him. Taishi Ci isn't going to be at full strength by what we have heard so we're going have to send a pair of Imperial Guardians to help get Taishi Ci onto the choppers.

The Officer slipped out of the room. There were no questions, it was a pretty simple plan. One of the soldiers passed him his pistol and some ammo clips. They climbed into the Seahawk and waited for the go order.

"If there's no questions, then I wish every single one you may be watched by God during our Finest Hour," finished Lee.

1800 Hours

"This is Medical Aerial Ship Healer we're ready for the raiders," came a voice over the intercom as two rotor less Blackhawks took off.

"Hey Seahawk, you coming?" asked one of the pilots as the Blackhawks landed without a noise on the medical ship before being put into a hanger in order for the Seahawk to land.

The Seahawk hit the deck of the Healer hard. Unlike the Blackhawk Mk II's, the Seahawk had rotors. This would mean that they would have to be exeptionally careful on their approach to Haven Island

"We're ready" came the reply from the Pilot.

2115
Just outside of radar range on Haven Island

"Alright, this is it," started the cloak figure as it gathered together the officers that were going to take part of the raid. "Intel puts us about 45 to an hour's flight from the island by chopper. Remember, we're to go in, rescue Taishi Ci and get out quickly. At 0200 Hours, Lynion and Imperial Australian warships are going to engage the Pirate Alliance Fleets stationed at Haven Island. We should be off the island by 0125 hours with Taishi Ci. I doubt there's any questions at this point?"

"No" replied the Officer. The Seahawk started up it's engines as the strike team checked their weapons and breathing equipment

"Activate Holo-Decoys" the commander said to the co-pilot. As the Seahawk lifted off, several copies of it appeared around it. A clever ploy, the Pirates would probably be too busy firing to check their radar.

The Lynion Assassins, the cloak figure and two Imperial Guardians climbed into their Blackhawks as they took off. They checked their helmets, pulled their mouth guard over their mouths, they switched on their intercoms and made one last check of their weapons as the blast doors closed around them.

"Red Light, standby," said the cloak figure.

"Amos check your intercom," stated an Assassin.

"Static clear," replied Amos as the assassin's lowered their night vision sunglasses.

The two Blackhawks streamed under the radar system as they changed course slightly and started for the island. The Imperial Guardians removed their cloaks as they turned into a werewolf and a vampire. Their tentacles stretch out before going back into their places as they checked their Styers.

2200

"Hey is radar meant to be picking something from the south west?" asked a pirate as he watched the pirate scream pick up mutliply heat signatures.

"Hmmm," started the other guard as he munched on a sandwich. "Looks like...sharks. Hahaha, Haven is being attacked by sharks! Haven is infested with sharks mate. Those buggers are always going to show up on radar," replied the other.

The pirate relaxed his guard as a cloak figure went past them. The figure went into the seperate chambers as the figure found Taishi Ci looking like Jesus Christ when he was being cruicified except Taishi Ci was wrapped in chains and had being there for nearly a week. The figure removed its hood as the figure showed a females face. She placed a soaked sponge of water on top of a broom stick and tried to give it to Taishi Ci.

"They're coming," whispered the girl. "Your rescuers and my husbands destroyer is coming to do their duty on Haven,"

"That's Haven island dead ahead" the Pilot informed them "Get ready to land"

"Roger that Arthur 1, keep us low"

OOC: Lynion, I don't know whether i'm seeing things here, but it says that 2 members are viewing this thread, me and someone else. Assuming that the other person is you, it only shows my name and says you are offline on your posts.

OOC: That's me! I'm invisible for the moment. It seems to work.

IC:

The Blackhawks swept across the sea as they turned on their jamming signals to jam the radar. They quietly went at the south west position as the green light went on and the blast doors opened up.

"Green light, prepare to jump," whispered the figure over the intercom.

The choppers landed on the island covered in bushes as they unloaded the troops and quietly vanish into the night sky for a few moments as they waited for the Seahawk to land. The figure removed its cloak as it had a mechanical left arm and a natural right arm. One of the assassin's looked at the figure and realised it was Vamp himself.

"(Spread out! Keep your distance!)," started Vamp with hand signals. "(There should be a hole nearby that we can drop into),"

The Seahawk landed and the team got out. Unlike the Lynions, who were comunicating using sign language to avoid being caught, the SRPD Team strode out, totally ignoring the cover they could be using. The Officer turned to Vamp

"(Go, We'll Cover Your Back)" he signalled

OOC: Post 64 didn't work out how I wanted too...oh well it can do

IC:

"(Watch your backs, and see you inside)," replied Vamp.

The Lynion's took it carefully as they came up to the position they were meant to have gone to. Vamp was the first to fall through the hole and made a small sound but found out that the room wouldn't echo like he thought it would. He pulled out his pistol and sword as he waited for the others to come down. One by one, the Lynion's crept into the base and took up positions. Vamp waited for the others to come down.

OOC: I dunno, I can understand what you're trying to show.

As Vamp and the other Lynions dissapeared inside the hole into the base, the SRPD Team began to walk around towards the dock area. Vamp's plan was good, perhaps too good. They needed to get to Taishi Ci undeteced. One guard sounding the alarm and the plan was scuppered. They would need a distraction, and the team had the perfect plan. As they approached the dock where Taishi Ci had been brought, the snipers dissapeared into the foiliage whilst the rest of the team crept into defensive positions not too far from a group of Pirates.

2300 hours

"(Get Taishi Ci out of here)," signalled Vamp. "(I'm going after Michael)"

The Imperial Guardians and the others went through the base quietly as they slipped past the guards without being noticed. It was strange though, what was going on in the base...?

"Blood Red Sandman..." started a song that went through the PA System.

The Lynion's remembered that song that was played by the military. It was the song that was played by the men that weren't going to make it back. The men managed to get into the main prison without causing an alarm to go off before finding Taishi Ci.

"Ohhh..." started an Imperial Guardian before his voice echoed against the walls. 'Shit,'

"(Take up positions)," signalled the other Guardian as he started to lower the pole that Taishi Ci was hanging off.

They managed to pull Taishi Ci down before the song went off the PA system and the roar of the machine echoed throughout the base. The Imperial Guardians removed the chains and pulled Taishi Ci down carefully and tended to his wounds behind a barricade. The Other Assassin's had taken up position in the barricade before...

2345

Vamp had entered a room filled with drunken Pirates looking at him. They turned to face him as they thought it was Michael at first. Several came over as music played before Vamp fired a bullet that shattered the stero.

"Whoooshh might you be??" demanded a drunken Pirate.

"I'm your worst nightmare," replied Vamp before he pulled out his longsword and wedge it through the Pirate before firing on another as a fight had started.

Haven Island came alive as drunken pirates stumbled to their posts as the mercenaries tried to pull the pirates together. The Lynion's in the pirson were fired upon from the door way as they started their fight back to the top.

2400 hours

Coalition warships had started their two hour sail towards Haven Island. The inevitable had started and now, it was only a matter of time before the biggest naval fight in Lynion history would start.

As lights flooded the dock area the team opened fire on the confused pirates. The bullest tore through them as booming sound of M107 sniper rifles began picking off the stragglers

Meanwhile

As another pirate made a beeline for Vamp, a loud gunshot rang out, killing him instantly. As he fell, the Officer was stood in the doorway holding a smoking pistol. However, he was now not wearing a mask. His face showed his true age, his pure white hair sticking out from under his hat

"Thought you could use a hand" he said bluntly.

OOC: It's Merlin! According to Ustian history, he'd be about 70/80+ years old.

"Thanks for the help," replied Vamp. "However, this is my fight not yours. You can come but I'm taking on Michael clear?"

2430

The Pirates were confused about the situation and decided to flee back into the base while a handful fought a rear guard battle.

"He's your traitor, not mine - do with him what you will" replied Merlin coldly. 60 Years of seeing war and death all around the world had made him somewhat blunt and uncaring for some people

"Shall we?" Merlin asked Vamp, indicating the door

0130

The Lynion's trapped inside the prison cell finally broke out again as they masscare through the Pirates with only light injuries taken. The Imperial Guardians carried Taishi Ci with them as they were escorted by the Assassin's that were taking down the Pirates and Mercenaires easily as the Pirates were ill trained. They managed to get back to the ladder that was leading to the top of the island.

"Take up positions!" shouted Mavis as the Assassin blasted a Pirate apart.

The Assassin's created a circle around the ladder as the first Imperial Guardian reached the top of the ladder and started to pull Taishi Ci with his tentacles. Taishi Ci was already closer to death with every passing moment and time was needed.

"This is Mavis calling Raiders, we're buggering out. Repeat! Everyone is to bugger out!" shouted Mavis over the radio as he fired another burst into a Pirate before the first of the Assassin's started to climb the ladder.

Meanwhile

"Copy that Mavis, go without us, we'll get out another way," replied Vamp over the intercom as he kicked down the door. "Hmm two doors and..."

Vamp and Merlin were interuppted by something that was making it sound awakward. It sounded like something...

"Take right, I'll go left," finished Vamp.

Vamp went over to the door and knocked on it. He waited again before the sound stopped and he knocked four times, twice again, three times and finally two fast knocks followed by one slow knock. He heard a demanding voice demanding who it was.

"Its room service," replied Vamp before he ripped the weak wooden door off its holders and took out the rusted nuts and bolts. "Grim Reaper style,"

Vamp looked into the room and found Michael in a jacket and putting his trousers on as he saw Ashley in a robe. Michael looked up and saw the enraged Vamp as the atmosphere went a frosty cold feeling. Vamp drew out his second long sword and placed his pistol in his holster as he watched Michael grab his sword.

"Wha..." demanded Michael as he thrusted first which was easily blocked by Vamp. "I'm gonna kill you and that stinking son of a (censored) head Taishi Ci and I'm going to rule Lynion like it was meant to have being ruled,"

Vamp thrusted forward sending Michael flying backwards with a kick before racing to the other end of the room and jumping towards him as Ashley went to a corner.

"Lynion is the nation that doesn't go down the road of greed and corruption like you did," replied Vamp as the two went into a very long dense sword fight. "Taishi Ci can rule people with compassion and respect,"

0200

The Blackhawks were laoding up again as the signal to retreat went through to the Lynion's and their raiding party allies. It was ignored by Vamp so far but it also sent off a signal to the waiting fleet. The time had come.

400 warships came under the cover of darkness. (OOC: see post 64 for details) Under the direct command of Vamperial Grand Headmaster Woff and Vamperial Grand Aerial Adrmial Headmaster Lee, the combine Lynion and Imperial Australian warships, these sailors had one objective: Wipe out the Pirate Alliance.

"Enemy in sighted, all aircraft standby," came Woff's voice over the intercom. "Squadrons make formation and God speed,"

Jack of Spades Matthew King was taking command of his first fleet of a combination of Dingo's and Seekers. He flew his personal modify Devil Class Super Sonic Fighter Jet into battle as The House of Spades took off with him alongside the Ace of Spades Sonic.

"Jack of Spades, take ten, seven, two and three with you. rest of you fan out and take command of squadrons," ordered the Ace of Spades over the intercom.

"Copy that Ace of Spades," replied Matthew. "Jack of Spades Fleet with me,"

The aircraft went into darkness as the aerial aircraft carriers Valiant and the Hutson came up to the front of the armada. They started a circle as the first of the beams smashed the Pirate Alliance Flagship Black Eye in two killing the crew in a second of the blast.

"All hands to battle stations!" shouted Captain Sun who now took command of the Pirate Alliance warships.

"Incoming!" shouted another as the naval engagement had started. "They just sunk the Black Eye! All hands to general quarters.

The Pirates went to battle stations as they went out to the June Sea and came face to face with their doom. With their backs being smashed apart by raiders and their escape routes cut off, the trapped Pirate Warships looked to their captains. Captain Sun assumed command of the armada and ordered all warships to band together and avoid being picked off one by one. However, during the first of the shots being fired, the Black Lynion Squadron, which was an entire African-Lynion Squadron, broke formation and started the barrage from their aerial heavy and aerial light cruisers. They started to play some music as their gunners started to pick off the Pirates.

Vamp thrusted forward sending Michael flying backwards with a kick before racing to the other end of the room and jumping towards him as Ashley went to a corner.

"Lynion is the nation that doesn't go down the road of greed and corruption like you did," replied Vamp as the two went into a very long dense sword fight. "Taishi Ci can rule people with compassion and respect,"

"I'll let you have some privacy" Merlin said bluntly, stepping back outside to cover the entrance. As a pirate ran at him, he held up his palm, stopping the pirate dead in his tracks. As he held him, he considered his situation;

"Well, I've Shown My Face - Might As Well Use These Too" he thought

He jerked his palm upwards, slamming the pirate into the celing with a sickening crunch, breaking his neck instantly and then letting his broken body fall to the floor.

Vamp ducked his head as Michael swung his sword at him. The fight had go on long enough and Vamp was now going to finish off the pointless fight once and for all. Vamp ducked again and missed Michael's blade as he cut the hand that held the sword which lead to Michael screaming in pain. The sword was stabbed into the wooden door as Vamp looked down on Michael.

"You have dishonouered your father, your mother, your cousin and now me," glared Vamp as took Michael's head and looked into his face. "Now, think of Hell when I come to mind,"

Michael screamed loudly before took his own sword and stabbed Michael through the stomach as Michael's brain was frying but the feeling of Hell that was flowing from Vamp to him. He kneed in front of Vamp as Vamp did the final blow. The sword had decapitated Michael in one swing. Vamp looked at Michael as he turned to face Ashley who had a child in her hands.

"Rebecca gave birth to this one," cried Ashley. "She was killed by Michael and buried at the top of the island. I was the one that tipped you off about Taishi Ci being here,"

"If you come back with us, you'll be thrown into prison and executed. I can't change that law," replied Vamp as he took the child which Ashley offered the baby to him. "However, maybe we can figure something more sutiable besides exceution when you go before the courts of Lynion,"

Ashley went with Vamp in her clothing as they found Merlin killing off the last of the Pirates on the base. He looked down at Merlin as he carried the baby in his other hand.

"Hey, we gotta go now!" shouted Vamp to Merlin as they started to the door they came out of. "This is Vamp calling anyone. Is there anyone that can get us out of here?"

"Yo, my friend we gonna get you outta there. Get to the top and we'll be waiting for you," replied a friendly voice.

Meanwhile

The Aerial Assault Cruiser Black had dirverted course as the last of the Pirate Warships were being rounded up. They had finally sunk another four destoryers and two cruisers alone and took lightly damage from the Pirates. The cruiser blasted another ship apart causing it to capsize as another two aerial assault cruisers covered Black as the cruiser came over the island.

"Vamperial, we need to get out of here before the orbital batteries arrive," said the captain of the ship over the radio.

**bump**

Vamp ducked his head as Michael swung his sword at him. The fight had go on long enough and Vamp was now going to finish off the pointless fight once and for all. Vamp ducked again and missed Michael's blade as he cut the hand that held the sword which lead to Michael screaming in pain. The sword was stabbed into the wooden door as Vamp looked down on Michael.

"You have dishonouered your father, your mother, your cousin and now me," glared Vamp as took Michael's head and looked into his face. "Now, think of Hell when I come to mind,"

Michael screamed loudly before took his own sword and stabbed Michael through the stomach as Michael's brain was frying but the feeling of Hell that was flowing from Vamp to him. He kneed in front of Vamp as Vamp did the final blow. The sword had decapitated Michael in one swing. Vamp looked at Michael as he turned to face Ashley who had a child in her hands.

"Rebecca gave birth to this one," cried Ashley. "She was killed by Michael and buried at the top of the island. I was the one that tipped you off about Taishi Ci being here,"

"If you come back with us, you'll be thrown into prison and executed. I can't change that law," replied Vamp as he took the child which Ashley offered the baby to him. "However, maybe we can figure something more sutiable besides exceution when you go before the courts of Lynion,"

The Aerial Assault Cruiser Black had dirverted course as the last of the Pirate Warships were being rounded up. They had finally sunk another four destoryers and two cruisers alone and took lightly damage from the Pirates. The cruiser blasted another ship apart causing it to capsize as another two aerial assault cruisers covered Black as the cruiser came over the island.

"Vamperial, we need to get out of here before the orbital batteries arrive," said the captain of the ship over the radio.

The SRPD team had already evacuated their previous positions and were climbing aboard the Seahawk. With the Alliance Warships en route, it wouldn't be long before the island was the site of a massive battle.

Haven Island

Merlin sprinted along just behind Vamp. He had no idea where he was going, but he had given the others a signal to get off the island as soon as possible. He wasn't afraid of what would happen if they didn't make it - he'd been in situations worse than this over the years, and he knew that if he died here, he'd have served his country doing it.

KABOOM!

Vamp thrusted Merlin and Ashley forward before diving forward as the walls around them started to collasped. He looked down and held the baby close to him as the dust started to fall around them. They managed to get close to the docks but were halted as the destroyer halted there exploded by Vamperial rounds pumped into it. He looked around as they found the ladder again.

"Let's get out of here," shouted Vamp as Ashley went up first in her trousers and jacket as she quickly got too the top.

Vamp was next as he started for the top. He looked down at Merlin and hoped that he would get out in time. The island was falling apart as the sight of fires on the seas lit up the night sky.

"Come on Merlin!" shouted Vamp as an aerial assault cruiser was getting closer to them.

Merlin looked around to see Vamp moving towards a massive aerial cruiser. He began to sprint over to him.

But then he stopped.

He stood motionless for a few moments, contemplating his situation.

A small grin made it's way onto his face - the first in years. He quickly ran over to Vamp near the cruiser. With Taichi Ci rescued, his job was done here.

The aerial assault cruiser stopped for a moment as a door opened up and two Black African-Lynion's offered their help to Ashley as they lifted her up onto the cruiser as Vamp could be seen.

"Now what made you think we were gonna leave you behind Vamp?" asked one of them as Vamp jumped onto the cruiser which was starting to get some air.

"Come on Merlin," shouted Vamp as they waited for him.

Merlin sprinted as fast as he could. Even at over 80 years old, he was still as agile as he was when he was younger. But the cruiser was getting air now.

In the last second, he dived for the open door.

Vamp held onto the railing and took hold of Merlin. Even though he was over 120 years old, Vamp still had the strength from when he was 24. He pulled Merlin up as an Afro-Lynion took hold of Merlin's other hand and together, they pulled Merlin up into the bay as the cruiser got some air between it and the island.

"All in a days work," replied Vamp.

Vamp stood at the door as his cloak went with the wind as the last of the Pirate Alliance warships were sunk. The Pirate War was finally over and Lynion would know peace. To finish off the display, the aerial cruiser was about 10 kilometres from the island when they re-joined the fleet and they watched. The skies lit up with a pair of orange beams as the orbital batteries blasted the island apart and any surviving mercenaries or pirates. Vamp was given the child he found on the island again as it had a name tag around it as the island was in ruins. It was all over. Michael was dead, Rebecca was found dead at Haven Island and the Pirate Alliance and its mercenaries were finally finished.

"The innocent child of this hell hole," started Vamp as he watched the last of the blasts as it could be seen for tens of miles and possibly hundreds of miles but then again, it was only a blast. "Captain, set a course for the medical frigate,"

"Aye, aye sire," replied a voice over the intercom.

As the cruiser lifted off, Merlin was pulled on by Vamp. As he stood up, the Seahawk formed up with the Cruiser, all the strike team safe and sound. He shielded his eyes from another explosion as the island was ripped apart by the mighty Lynion orbital batteries.

The shockwave pushed the cruiser away a little as the wind gushed past Vamp before the door closed behind them. Vamp couldn't feel much peace with himself as he wondered towards the ladder. He looked at the baby in his arms and stroked its hair as a flash back came over him.

It was 1928 and he saw Lanakan and Esther in his arms at only 4 months old and Eliza was next to him. He could see the marble hallways of the Palace at Lynx Island as they went past everything. Vamp longed for those days to come back but he felt it was only a once in a life time chance he had and it went past him.

He snapped back to present day as he looked at Merlin and nodded his head for acknowledging that Merlin was one of the best fighters he's seen since the First World War. He wondered over to the bridge as a helicopter was waiting for him. He stopped and went back to where Merlin was as Ashley came over to him.

"Hey Merlin, want to met Taishi Ci?" asked Vamp.

Merlin turned to Vamp

"I would be honoured" he answered

OOC: Weren't Micheal & Taichi Ci in the International School For Teens too, or are they different characters?

OOC: they had a mention when Matt and Zora went back to Lynion but they didn't attended the school.

"Then come with me," replied Vamp.

He went back up the staircase as they pasted by a small hanger which had two Seekers returning to their stations. He past by Lynion Hunters taking their wounded down to the medical section while Vamp managed to get up on top of the deck of the cruiser. They were at least 1 kilometre from the water's surface when the medical frigate ran alongside the cruiser and a bridge was laid out for Merlin and Vamp to cross. Vamp didn't looked down as he carefully walked across the bridge and onto the medical frigate. He waited for Merlin to come before he went into the medical section.

Merlin followed Vamp to the top deck, and across to the medical frigate. Thoughts preyed on his mind. What Z had said to him before he left, and what the others thought about it. He tried to put it out of his mind.

Vamp led Merlin into the medical frigate as they stopped by a water tank filled with green water. Vamp looked around as a medic came past him.

"Do you know where I can find Taishi Ci?" asked Vamp.

"He's in Room 54, on the right down hallway 2," replied the medic.

Vamp rushed off before the medic had the chance to explain anything. They went down Hallway 2 as they came to Room 54 which was on the right. It had two Imperial Guardians guarding the door as they saluted Vamp.

'Merlin? I've heard that name before,' thought Vamp to himself.

He entered the room and found Taishi Ci fast asleep. He was sleeping in a white blanket as his head was wrapped in a bandage and his arms were bandaged because they were either broken or...

'He can't be...' thought Vamp to himself.

Merlin entered the room to find Taichi Ci covered in white bandages. He didn't expect to see this, but they had said that he was badly injured earlier on. As ever, Merlin said nothing - what could he say?

Meanwhile

The Seahawk had returned to the Zumwalt Class destroyer, and was packed away into the ship as another helicopter, this one resembling a V-22 Osprey, but with a single tail fin, and a third rotor at the rear, landed on the helipad.

"He's going to become part machine," whispered Vamp into Merlin's ear as a tear ran down his cheek.

Vamp went about in the room as he tried not to show anger. He didn't let his temper get the better of him as he sat down next to Taishi Ci.

"I should've being at the Palace for him. I...I just can't afford to lose the last part of my family..." shouted Vamp before calming down again.

"Hold on, he's not gone yet" said Merlin, a cold edge still in his voice

He stepped out of the room, pulled out a small mobile phone, and dialled a number that he had memorised. After a few minutes talking in russian, Merlin returned to the room

"Do I have your permission to bring my own medical personell aboard?" he asked Vamp, covering the phone with his hand

"You can Merlin," replied Vamp as he held onto the hand of Taishi Ci as the body sat there as if life didn't flow through it.

Merlin nodded, then put the phone to his ear

"Да, пойдите вперед" he said, a slight accent in his voice. He put down the phone "They will be here in 5 minutes"

He sat down by Vamp

"Vamp, I will need your permission to use our...method before I allow my staff to go ahead - it could save Taichi Ci's life, but i'll explain all to you first"

He got up, and closed the door

"I would also need to know that this information will not go beyond this room. Is that okay with you?"

Vamp looked at Taishi Ci and nodded his head.

"Nothing will leave this room. What do you intend to do? We already save the legs and the arms, I can't figure out why he's dying,"

"Thank you" Merlin said as he sat down again "30 years ago, in a small town in the South Of...where it was discovered is of no importance, we dicovered a virus. At the time, it killed everyone it came into contact with. We were given several samples of this virus, and we began testing it to see if it held any favourable qualities. It did"

He shifted on his seat, and then continued

"Subjects showed massive changes in their DNA structure - and most exhibited special 'abilities'.To cut a long story short, we managed to isolate several of the genes and create special serums which gave the patient only that ability, without the adverse side effects of the entire virus - we would inject Taishi with the serum 'Здоровье', which should allow him to regenerate from whatever it is that is killing him"

Merlin paused a moment

"But" he began, speaking slowly

"We've only ever tested it on humans - we don't know what it will do to Vampires"

OOC: Taishi Ci is a Vampire, right?

"Correction Merlin, Taishi Ci is a werewolf," corrected Vamp. "What type of abilities did it give to the hosts?"

"Correction Merlin, Taishi Ci is a werewolf," corrected Vamp. "What type of abilities did it give to the hosts?"

"Well, we haven't tested it on Werewolves either" replied Merlin

"The hosts developed almost any ability you could think of; Levitation, Telekinesis, Pyrokinesis, Cryokinesis, Radiokinesis, Spontaneous Regeneration"

Merlin lifted his hand, and the bullet in his palm began to float in mid air. It dropped, and Merlin put it back into his pocket

There was a knock at the door, and Merlin went to open it. A masked trooper was stood at the door. They conversed briefly in russian, and then the trooper left as Merlin turned back to Vamp

"Would you like us to go ahead?" he asked Vamp

Vamp looked down at Taishi Ci as he felt the pulse starting to fade. If this was the only way of saving him, then...he would have to accept it not only to save his grandson, bu the line of Kings and Queens of Lynion.

"You have my permission to go ahead," started Vamp as he went to the door before turning back to face Taishi Ci.

Is this going to end the line of the Royal Family in Lynion? Or is it going to breed a new kind of Lynion?

Is this going to end the line of the Royal Family in Lynion? Or is it going to breed a new kind of Lynion?

"So be it" said Merlin "Vamp, I must ask that you step outside while the procedure takes place - it is one of our most closely guarded secrets"

Merlin stepped outside and waited for Vamp, as the masked soldier Merlin had been conversing with earlier stepped inside carrying a metal suitcase.

OOC: In answer to the rhetorical question, I can have it swing either way if you would like - just name your ability and i'll have the trooper inject him with that too. Otherwise, i spent some time working on how it would work. In the IC world, they have no idea what would happen to a Werewolf. In OOC, I know that as long as he has a similar DNA structure to humans, he'll be fine.

OOC: I want Taishi Ci to come alive. Give him the ability that he can push and pull things like Merlin did with the bullet.


IC:

Vamp stepped outside with Merlin as he took a deep breath. The medical frigate came into Lynion airspace as Vamp waited for the response.

OOC: Telekinesis? Done.

Minutes passed as Merlin and Vamp waited outside the room. Then, the door opened, and the masked trooper stepped out. He simply nodded to Merlin & Vamp, then headed to the helicopter that was now on the landing pad.

Merlin turned to Vamp

"He should be fine"

Vamp entered the door as he looked at Taishi Ci. The body laid there lifelessly as Vamp took a deep sigh. He went over to check the pulse and found that the pulse was stronger.

'He...he's alive?' thought Vamp to himself.

Taishi Ci moaned a little before moving his head. He opened his eyes as he saw Vamp looking over him and a stranger as well. Vamp was slightly shocked as Taishi Ci twisted his head a little before rubbing his eyes.

"What happened to Michael?" asked Taishi Ci.

"He's...dead," replied Vamp still a little shock.

"His mother?"

"Dead as well,"

"Ashley?" asked Taishi Ci.

"She got out of it alive but there's a chance she'll be banished under a Lynion Court or executed," replied Vamp. "Esther is waiting for you back home,"

Taishi Ci lay back on his bed as he thought about something for awhile. He watched as a small object started floating in the air but it didn't catch his attention.

**Bump**

A small smile crept onto Merlin's face as Taishi Ci came around. He made a mental note to smile more often. He watched the small object floating in mid air.

Vamp was happy about Taishi Ci coming back to life and it made him happy. He turned to Merlin and smiled before Taishi Ci turned to them both.

"If you don't mind, I would like a bit of sleep before I see Esther again," asked Taishi Ci in a polite manner as he struggled to stay awake.

"Of course," replied Vamp. "Hey Merlin, could I have your opioin on something when we get outside?"

"You can" Merlin replied as he stepped out of the room, leaving Taishi Ci to rest

"I was just thinking about what you gave him," replied Vamp as he walked along with Merlin. "Is it possible for it to be past into a gene that comes part of a baby if he has one?"

They were walking along when a runner came up to them and gave them a telegram. Things were getting worse in Lynion and he would be required to get home. He looked up as they came out onto the deck that over looked outline of Lynion. To the north they could see an artifical hurricane brewing in strength and a ring of clouds covering the Ring of Hell.

"I wonder if its possible to end wars," started Vamp as he handed Merlin the telegram.


TO: High King Vamp
FROM: Vamperial Order, Vamperial Grand Headmaster Woff

I advise you to stay away from this war sire. We got a report that the Vamperial Temple has come under seige and...forget what I just said. Is it possible you can find a way to get help to the Temple? Or prehaps get reinforcements into the Temple?

Vamp didn't have to say anything. He watched the hurricane darken in colour as Lynion could be facing extinction.

"I can get you home if you don't want to take part in this war with the Fungi," stated Vamp. "There's sure to be a pilot that'll take you home,"

"I was just thinking about what you gave him," replied Vamp as he walked along with Merlin. "Is it possible for it to be past into a gene that comes part of a baby if he has one?"

"It is entirely possible that it could pass on to his children. Yes, it was researched to end wars - just not peacefully" Merlin looked at the telegram, then up at the Hurricane

"No, it looks like you need help at your temple. And besides" he began, handing the telegram back to Vamp "We came to help"

"There's enough supernatural happening at Lynion as it is," stated Vamp. "I suppose we'll never find a way to end all wars," contiuned Vamp as he turned to face the Imperial Guardians. "Dirvert the frigate to the outward position, bring the orbital batteries over Lynion and find the source of the hurricane, rest of the armada, prepare for an assault!" ordered Vamp.
