Chapter 34 - Death around the corner

'Damn!', Sark bellowed, shaking his leg. However, John's grip around it was too strong. John leaped to his legs and lifted Sark from the ground. Then he slammed Sark against the wall, breaking it. Dean sprinted to Sark's help who got slammed against another wall. He spat blood but he was still consciousness, crying out:

'You not the only tough bastard here!' He riddles John's arm with bullets. John's arm severed from the body and Sark banged to the floor. Dean had reached them by now. With a targeted kick he aimed to swipe John from the ground. But, John stood firm like a boulder. He tackled Dean with his body, sending him fly. (Larah: This does not look good!)

 

In the forest behind the hospital

Special force had engaged the enemy in the forest. Their force consisted mainly of ghouls and for their luck there were no weird ones amongst them. The human who had fled to the forest for refuge where now hiding behind the soldiers who sometimes looked more monsters than the ghouls. There were all kind of monsters and some of them were even flying in the air. They may have looked creepy, some at least, but they were fighting for humanity and they were also winning. Everything seemed to be ok till they heard an immense cry coming from the forest. As that creature approached the ground shook.

 

On the battlefield

 'Hahahah!', Dracule rejoiced, gazing at his attack that would soon hit the battlefield. His glance wandered to the forest. 'Seems like you spread your energy over enough ghouls, Saphire!' For a beat Commander Nootra peered to the forest. (Commander Nootra: This presence! Another Celestial?) As quick as his attention had switched to the cry in the forest it went back to the Dracule's attack. Commander Nootra breathed in. His stomach started glowing in a mix of white and grey. And then he fired his energy blast. Another followed and another…. They clashed with the dragons one after one … boooom, booom, boooom …. The explosions lit up the sky and made the earth tremble. The earth cracked and some ghouls fell into the slits which spread over the battlefield.

 'King of the Beasts, what are you waiting for. You won't win against me with that form. Show me your final form!', Dracule ordered. 'Or are you mocking me?' Nicole had engaged the three servants. A clear winner was not in sight but she only had to hold out 5min and they would be sent back. (Nicole: He has a 3rd form?) This thought distracted her, even if only for a moment. But that was all that one servant needed. He was now behind Nicole, extending his crawls. However, when he was about to strike, he realized he had not been the only one to commit a mistake. He had totally forgotten about Jessie who had stopped chased Nighyel when she was not in sight anymore. She was behind the demon and before the demon could attack she struck, cleaving him in two.

 'Thank you, but you came back?', Nicole asked.

 'Yes. I want to kill that bitch, but John would rebuke if I abandoned the people here to pursue revenge. Her time will come. It still rankles me what she said about John. But more importantly why does your boss not use his 3rd form?'

 'I didn't even know that he has another form! There must be a reason why he hid it!'

 The heaven was by now clear of smoke and Dracule's patience was running out: '

 'So that's how you are playing! You might have his power but at the end you remain human. I shall end it now!' He spread apart his arm and blood left his body, forming to orbs around him. 

 'Your kind shall be judged by my blood. Rain of Death!' The moment Commander Nootra had heard that name he remembered everything. It was from the memory of the previous King of the Beasts. That's why Commander Nootra knew how cruel Rain of Death is. The blood orbs burst and the blood rained down. Most remained indifferent but Dracule's servant knew what would await them – death. And Nicole felt despair running through her body. She didn't know the attack but her vampire instinct's knew better. (Commander Nootra: If I transform and fail to control myself I will slaughter everyone! Or the rain finished them off! Damn!)

 

In the forest

 Special force alpha remained still. Ready to engage the enemy who was walking towards the. Every step was strong, her breath was bestial and before anyone knew it had all ceased. Instead they know heard a female sweet voice coming from further away. The few ghouls who had survived made place and kept their heads low, not looking towards the direction the voice had come. The voice returned, louder this time:

 'So many? Just for me? Humans, you should feel honored to find your end by me, by Saphire!' And the moment the person had spoken to the end, she revealed herself. And one thing was sure, she was dangerous!
