Leeches didnt quite understand then she hissed, magic, she stood out the front gates anyway, whoever was in there would be coming out and she would be waiting. It would probably only be a couple of minor heroes, nothing she couldnt handle.
The infected soldiers saw the zombies coming for them and get ready, the Devolved sergeant hovered back.
"Get ready for em to face us, aim for their heads, just like the movies".
Then he fired green blasts from his eyes (x ray blast). As the rest focused thier fire with there rifles at the approaching zombies and the strange collection of people in charge of them. The infected all depowered their jet packs diving into their enemies, it was against orders but they were tired of shooting at things and wanted to get to grips with their enemies.
The end is just a new beginning, Goodbye all my coh friends and even the enemies, its been a blast I will miss you all. Thank you Paragon team, you gave me a home from home I will always appriciate it.

That small moment of distraction was all it took. The four-year old girl combined her physical strength with a telekinetic push and managed to escape the vampire's arm. With a blur of her bright yellow dress, she whizzed through the air and flew out into the main parlour. She could hear the familiar sounds of a video game but nobody was playing it. Instead, below her feet laid the burnt and barely recognisable remains of Aunt Sabrina. Next to her was a younger girl covered in blood, her arms and legs had been seared off with heat and her heart torn from the chest. A little way away was the broken body of her best friend David. Hazel couldn't contain herself, she let loose a wailful scream and suddenly passed out, falling out of the air and onto the ornately carpeted lounge.

A man with White hair walked up to the now unconcious little girl, looking around he saw what must have been a horrific fight, slowly he knelt beside the girl and picked her up, carrying her in his arms.
"Is this world even worth saving...come on, lets get you out of here."
With that he started to walk towards the main entrance, away from the blood covered scene.

The Corporation pulled up behind two other Arachnos fliers inbound to Cap. They hoped they had gone unnoticed but knew full well that they hadn't. But the Spiders needed all the help they could get and did not make a scene of the strange new arrival.
They traveling in 'Formation' over the sea until the Island appeared below them. They moved downward swooping over the University. Papers blew out of student hands, who had been standing around watching the display in Haven, and shielded their eyes from the sudden draft given off by the large airships.
The ships pulled up at the battle and two large spot lights suddenly shone down onto the scene. The usual threats were called from loudspeakers and guns became trained on all threats in the area.
The third flier however moved out of the ground and swept around as it looked for some-where to land.
"ONE MINUTE!" went the cry from the Pilot causing Bill to step up to the door,
"SOME TRAVELIN' MUSIC IF Y'PLEASE?!" from within the flier came Flight of the Valkyries and Bill chuckled. He opened the large door on the side of the flier and looked out. The wind created a deafening roar that ripped through the ship, yet he stood there looking around
"THINK I CAN SEE KURZE!!!"
Bill, once again, placed a cigar to his lips as the ship decended behind Castle Bathory. Clouds of dust went up as the flier touched down, it's landing gears compressing against the weight of the large machine...

Outside a motorcycle with a wolf painted on stopped a little away from the action... And Jack jumped away in the shadows to be seen again in his lycantrophe shape a few seconds later on the roof opposite of the mansion. Knowing something was really wrong... and seeing the image of Elizabeth in front... he hid in the shadows waiting for the right moment.

Blade smirked inside his helmet. "and thats that for you Elizabeth. come out of your castle and surrender now. Make this easier on yourself." Blade looked towards the incoming Arachnos Fliers, lifting his sword ready for a fight. "Last Chance Elizabeth, will you end this peacefully?".
++++
Parasite Knight watched the scene from the roof of a building, keeping out of the way. The castles walls were still holding together, and the arrival of Arachnos all but settled the matter. Still it would be a shame not to make a move here, and the Parasite jumped onto the castle roof. He looked down and began his spreading his healing powers around, supporting the Court's troops.
++++
Inside the castle, Silvas began tending to Misty, carrying her with one arm while leaning against the wall with the other. As the group headed towards the stairs, a howl sounded above them and Laya went white. "....Alex..." she said quietly. "He's here" replied her father.
A Bat like creature hurtled down the stairs and stood infront of them "The mistress wouldnt like you leaving would she now, i will have to stop you." With that he shot into Silvas, knocking him back and landing ontop of him.
"i'll handle him, get out of here!" called Silvas, holding Alex in a tight grip and the Balfear's rained massively powerful blows on each other.
++++
Back upstairs, the fight between Moril and Sword had come to a stand still. Their blades interlocked, Sword struggled to pull away. His shields had become almost vanished under the blows Moril had managed to rain on it. In one quick movement, Sword spun his legs, kicking Moril's legs from under him. As moril dropped to the floor, Sword brought his swords down on Moril's Katana, his own swords shattering with the force.
Sword backed away slowly as Moril got back up. Moril moved towards Sword slowly, his katana raised infront of him.

"My, my, quite the damn palarver in here, dontcher think?" Leon mused, stepping seemingly out of the walls. "Now, while I'm loathe to intervene in...eheh, family matters?" he paused, raising an eyebrow at the brawling Balfears, "I would suggest you ladies and young 'uns make your way upstairs. Certainly before the spiders show up. Oh and, yes, I am a vampire. Just not an inbred," he added with a toothy grin. |

The air blurred, as a large armoure zombie mauled the air where Leon should have been, but it was like it had lurched through a shadow. There was a fleshy, sliding sound as the thing slid neatly into two piles on the floor while, a pace or so behind it, Leon shouldered his katana and lit a cigarette with his thumb.
"Trust me on that," he chuckled, before nodding his head up the stairs and moving down below the fleeing Nighthunters, blocking the way for anything else that tried to pursue them.

Lucard stepped out from a wall behind the hunters. "ahhh, so this is where you went Vampire. Ive been looking for you, perhaps you would like to join the vampiric empire? I can hep you, guide you along the true path of a vampire. What do you say?". As he speaks Lucard places a hand on one of his pistols. "or do we have to dual before you listen?". Lucard turns his gaze towards the Nighthunters, "get out of here, these are dealings between vampires, and i have no futher use for you here".

"I'm ready" she declared before pausing a moment and looking around the team "And if you get even the slightest scratch, yell out, I'm a devoted medic for this one and I'd rather deal with one wound at a time rather than patients at deaths door" She instructed firmly, all trace of the shyness she had in social situations stripped away in the light of an important task at hand.

The demons massive paws smashed at the spot where Kurze had been - the rooftop cracking at the impact.
Crouched on the ledge behind the demon Kurze grinned
" Tough but slow, this'll be fun "
The demon turned to the voice and roared, to be greeted in reply by a roar from the barrels of the Desert Eagles as Kurze deftly fired, jumping sideways off the ledge of the parapet to the rooftop for a better firing position at the beast.
The fight was truly under way . . .

"I swear, older or younger, speak to me again in that tone and I'll school you in ways that require me thrashing you with your own spine," he said quietly, eyes flashing crimson. "I've been on this Earth for over nine hundred years, and I'd rather let the Pope himself ram a crucifix up my @rse than have any of you inbreds 'guide me'. Since when have Vampires actually become the maniacal egotists and ecentrics we used to pretend to be?"
He snapped his fingers, the torches on the walls around him and headed down snuffing out, those headed upwards remaining so that those escaping could still see. There was a flash of light as he swung the katana visciously, sparks spitting in the darkness, paling into mere specks as Leons eyes began to glow, dark rubys in the dark of the corridor.
"Vampiric Empire...If I have to teach my own race what it means to know fear, to realise the Balance again...then so be it!

Lucard smirks, removing hisown set of glasses and placing the min a pocket of his jacket. "my my, how foolish the new breed are. The empire does not rule boy, we guide. nine hundred years is nothing, I am more than two thousand, and we are not inbred unlike some i would point out. You place us in a group that you seem to believe only you do not fit in, if that is the case then i must teach you to respect your betters" Lucard replied to Leon. With that, Lucard pulled his two pistols and unloaded the clips in them at Leon.

The demon's hide deflected the first bullet but the high velocity and pin point accuracy of the hitman's shots was hard to beat, the following bullets penetrated the hulking monster's body and exited through the back, carrying with it bloodied muscles and intestines.

He was angry now and that only increased his power; with great strength he slammed his hoofs onto the castle rooftop and ice began to spread out over the stones, capturing its nearby foes in a block of ice.|

As the Arachnos government ships arrived, the thugs and ninjas began to fall back to join the mercenaries and robots near the front of the castle. They were under heavy fire from the rooftop but it wasn't lethal. They also had switched from live rounds to concussive. Only one of Countess Leeches's helicopters was left in the air, firing on the small army of Nighthunter robots. Leeches herself had positioned her own bots strategically inside the doors, blocking the way.
The coalitional hunting troupe the Wolf Pack were holding their own against the weak army of Infected but four on thirty was quickly becoming a losing battle. The six Nighthunter masterminds sent their minions to direct fire onto the army of Infected as well as the shooters on the rooftop. Mindful of the Arachnos ships, the leading brute of the redside Nighthunters flew past field commander Blade Racer and nestled himself close enough to dialogue with the Arachnos.
"Sir we are citizens of the Etoile Isles, present here in Cap Au Diable" he begun, attempting a negotiation with the commanding Bane Spiders. "Here's the situation; our conflict lies with the Countess Bathory but we are receiving heavy fire from that helicopter over there and that army of Infected. There are shooters on the castle rooftop firing concussive rounds and we've retaliated in kind. The initiating cause of the disturbance is Bathory; she has kidnapped our women and children. So we sent a stealthed rescue team inside and we're out here supplying covering fire. Sir... we're ready to seize all fire and leave the situation to the Arachnos government but please we really need your assistance. Any ideas?"
Quote:
The five surviving kidnapees Damsel, Suraya, Misty, Mary and Altair were being escorted out by the five rescuers Laya, Alena, Morri, Zaisha and the Priest. The two teams were now hidden under Pious's invisibility spell and slowly, they made their way up the staircase. They found themselves in the great parlour, standing before the remains of Sabrina San and her son David. Not wanting to leave the bodies behind, the team solemnly collected their dead.|

"Look" whispered Rachel, pointing at a white-haired man. "There's Hazel. She was taken by Bathory through some sort of portal but that guy, I've never seen."
As Moril moved closer to Sword, Sword teleported behind Moril and gripped the Katana. Moril struggled to get Sword to let go, and got punch away by Sword, leaving the Katana in Sword's hands. Sword brought the Katana down on the injurd elf, Moril moving away just in time to avoid death, but grimmaced in pain as his arm was cut off by his own sword. Sword looked up, hearing the progress of the Nighthunters team, Sword faded into the shadows, his cloaking field allowing him to escape, leaving Moril's bloodied Katana behind, stuck into the stone floor.
Morilanthi staggered back against the wall. He then slipped to the ground, blood pouring down his right side before the armors healing abilities kicked in and slowly began to seal the wound.

Leon stood, pummelled repeatedly by the twin firearms, bullet casings clinking and richocheting off the floor.|

Finally the last one hit, leaving a gaping silence.
Leon sniffed as he pressed his thumb against his nose, eye twitching slightly as the cartilege cracked back into place, the holes in his body already knitting back together. He grinned lopsidedly as the hole in his face began to mend.
"After two thousand years I thought you'd be better than that...old man." He spun into stance, blade held out right handed, the left palm upwards as he flicked his fingeres tauntingly. "Let us dance!"

All this time Shannon O'Banshee had been lying on the couch in the lounge listening to her MP3 player. Even when Kai came in and left again she couldn't be bothered to stand up. But now Elizabeth had need of her... "SHANNON!!!" The vampire her telepathic call almost knocked the wee Fae of the couch. "Yes missy Elizabeth?!"
"I NEED YOU TO SCREAM LOUD... AS LOUD AS YOU CAN... NOW!!!"
Elizabeth now was fully aware that a rescue had to mean that some would already be inside. But there was no way to know where or how deep without direct consult with the captain of her guard or her mind-demon Incantator Draconis around. Still Shannon her Dreadful Wail would disorient everyone in the direct surroundings. She pressed her ears close to not be effected.
Shannon didn't understand but did what was told anyway... A devestating sound was heard throughout the lounge... the main hall next to it and more...

As soon as the scream started the white haired man knew what would happen, as fast as he could he pulled him cloak over himself and the little girl in his arms, crouching down so that there was no part still exposed, as the scream reached him his cloak seemed to shimmer, losing its fading black look and shining a glowing silver.
Under the cloak the man looked at the still unconcious girl, she reminded him of someone else he knew, in a situation similar to this, the last time it all went wrong, maybe now was the time to make amends.

Lucard raised his reloaded guns and prepared to fire when the defeaning wail came acroos him, he looked more confused than in pain, grimmacing before disappearing into the wall to find the source fo the noise.
++++
Behind him Blood howled in pain as the noise hit him. Deafened and incapacitated, He was unable to stop Silvas running off, protected by his helmet Silvas could hear the wail but took no notice, hurrying after the nighthunters.
++++
Outside Blade and the wolfhunters were hit by the wail. Yarg and Imp went down, but Molacki remained upright, his ears decayed long ago and he continued to fiht against the infected, protecting his friends from the infected by forming his zombies into a protective circle around them. Blade's helmet protected him like his father, and continued to swoop in and out of the battle, using his flight to give the Wolf Hunters an advantage and draw some of the fire.
++++
Parasite Knight fell to the floor as the wail hit him, the Parasite screaming in pain as sound washed over his body. He continued to watch but was now unable to help anymore, the roof of the castle shaking with the vibrations from the noise.
++++
Laya's armour also protected her from the wail, but Mary screamed in pain and clamped her hands to her ears. Laya tried to speak but her voice was drowned out by shannon's scream.

The ice was shredding across the rooftop but for one spot, near the parapet where Kurze had orignally set up, now congealing with a black oily shadow rising up from the ground and gaining form behind the Demon Prince.
Rising to to form of a vague humanoid shape, the shadowform moved with swiftness to the demon, coiling tendrils of dark aether around the demons limbs keeping it held long enough to distract it from a small flash of light behind it.
The two creatures clashed, darkness and bale demonic powers deflecting against each other as both fought for ground, the Demon with brute strength and anger, the shadowform with swiftness and guile.
The demon roared with rage and began to tear at the incorporeal form of the shadowcreature, which backed its way towards the parapet, seemingly in retreat. The demon must have sensed this as it roared towards the shadowform, only to be halted by the touch of cold steel on the base of its skull - the lithe form of Kurze atop its upper back, his bodyglove still warm from the thermal charge.
He managed to smile once with a sharklike grin at the demon before pulling the trigger.

When the environmental sonic attack reached the invisible Nighthunters, Pious erected a forcefield using a specific energy from the outer spectrum. He was about to retaliate by conjuring a spectral army when he noticed the white-haired man wasn't the enemy. In fact, he was protecting Hazel, not harming her. Martial artist Alena Corvas and Morrighan Spireside the night elf both got the jump on the screaming fae.

Two spells where done in rapid action... Elizabeth summoned a servant of pure darkness which she send to help Shannon... and the second invocation opened a large portal below the rescuers. N'Garai demons came through... their tentacles gripping any above them. Doing their best to pull the mortal shells down.
"Shannon, stop playing with those spandex and get over here... I need you to slow time for them.", she commanded while she used the commotion the N'Garai brought to fly fast to wards Hazel. Striking the man holding the kid with full force.

Afloat in the air in the center of the Hall of Fates within The Corporation base Aquis held both her hands to her sides and the glow of her eyes intensified. "Shhh..." she whispered, providing a boon to her coworkers as they rushed into the castle to gain a better assessment of the situation. Wincing she dropped to the floor, landing on one knee as her ears bled from taking the blunt of the sonic attack for her allies, but healing it would have to wait. Instead she focused on the disk still hovering in front of her, aglow with the scenes around the castle and within, getting around the securities had been a nightmare and more than one image was a little fuzzy but the idea was there.
"My audio is out for now.." she warned her strikeforce, her tone as steady as ever despite the pain.
Reaching up she touched the disk and ran her fingers over its surface, silently guiding those that needed direction, bestowing a small 'tug' to get them moving in the correct direction. She'd gotten a feel for the castle and the space below on her visit there and knew what her team had to do to fulfill their agreements.
-----
Closely instep with Bill and Gator, Fianna rushed through the corridors of the Castle, eyes vigilant to any sign of threat. Moving swiftly with the rest of the team behind them the Corpers moved with precision and purpose towards where they were sure the fleeing captives would be.
From a wall near the entrance to the castle, a clear blob quickly oozed outwards, forming a man, Erez'zul, quickly stepping forward he placed his hand on Joarathil, the elf turned his head slightly, pausing to see what the mage wanted.
"Forget it, the Countess has things under control here, and they have not left unharmed, i believe its time i honored my end of the bargain"
Joarathil looked at him for a moment, deep in thought, breathing in he nodded, putting his weapons away.
Erez'Zul held his hand up towards this wall, placing it softly on the cold hard stone, but this time, instead of merging with it, a flame erupted outwards, covering the wall it formed a door, then from Erez'Zul's hand spreading to the very edges of the flame, a window opened, one showing a dark room, its features hidden in shadow.
"Welcome...to the hollow fortress."
With that, the mage and elf stepped through the portal, the flames slowly fading as they did until there was nothing more but a cold, hard wall
