Welcome to The Duality of Man, an original animanga role-play that features numerous supernatural creatures. Unfortunately, these various species have distanced themselves because of the war that occurred thousands of years ago, plaguing some with eyes that only see their dualism. While others meddle themself with their differences, two groups fight, each attempting to eliminate the other in for their definition of worldly peace. These two groups of the Terror Response Syndicate (TRS) and the Assembly of Phantoms (AP). With individuals fighting merely over their differences, it brings uncertainty to the outcome of this war.

season
Summer 2024
Heat has broken through into a glorious summer. The snow has entirely dried through the spring, leaving to the brilliance of the warmer months. Terror activity has risen as people are brought out of their homes, leaving the TRS in a position of consistent work. Each are attempting to maintain victory in the endless struggle for power.
Since the wonderful members of TDOM enjoy the site enough to play around on it, this thread is to assist with the site's tidying! Functionality is important and we want to make the site functional even if its activity will be minimal at best!
Though he no longer helped lure TRS members into ambushes to kill them, he found himself lurking nearby, watching his brother's progress in his killing streak. His next victim had come as a surprise, though all it took was taunting and the green hair boy was fighting his older brother. He couldn't help but think to himself that it was ashame this green hair boy's life would come to an end, it was his own fault for putting on that uniform, seeing as his brother's favorite targets were TRS members, not some citizen that may or may not be able to defend themselves. He watched them fight, it seemed the green hair boy was a better fighter than he had first thought, since he was equally matched to his brother. Quit playing around and kill him right now! He thought to himself, annoyed that his brother took too much pleasure in messing with his victims before finishing with the killing blow.
That finishing blow he desired, it never came. He felt like he cracked when his brother had been slashed, falling to his knees, clearly dead from the fight that had worn him out first. The green hair boy was left standing, no, that wasn't right, that wasn't fair. He slipped his blade knuckles onto his hands and rushed out of his hiding spot. I didn't give you permission to die! I didn't give you permission to lose! If I had known I would have had your back! He advanced towards the green hair boy, attempting to slash at him. I'm going to kill him for you brother, I'm going to kill him for you! He thought to himself, having watched Nathan fight, he had a pretty good idea on how he'd want to go about killing him.
Though he wasn't quite as skilled as his brother had been on his many kills, he'd be damned if he fell before this green hair boy did. Once I finish him off, I'm taking you home.... taking you back to Spain to be buried. Our family shall mourn for you. His brother wasn't supposed to die, but this boy, he was going to make sure that he died, tempted to go as far as to find a Terror to tire him out first.
The bitter grasp of loss still gripped Nathan as he marched out on patrol, the boy remaining a loner from his sadistic mask. The barrage of threats and frightening knife waving warded away advances of friendship. Meaningful relationships still felt null after the recent, numbing pain of losing his brother. Murdering every terror and Assembly member remained an objective, the vampire unaware of the true meaning of justice. The memory of losing his own brother remained vivid, wounding him mentally as he continued walking, bowie knife in hand. There was a sorrowful glaze in his eyes as they scrutinized his surroundings, searching for a victim who dared to cross his line of sight. The TRS uniform hugged Nathan's form as he wandered down the provided route for the patrol. The number of people wandering the streets remained few, giving the area a lonely vibe.
Several minutes of silent searching had passed until somebody confronted him, the TRS hunter tightening the grip on the knife's handle. He glared at the individual, gradually realizing their Assembly affiliation and later being clued in on one of the malicious actions. Anger surged through the vampire's veins as they flaunted, mentioning his brother. The taunting increased the fury, generating a fire as they informed him of the kill. The claims the man was making infuriated Nathan, the upset emotions increasing his ill-tempered mood. This man killed Donovan... HE took away the most crucial part of his family... HE made him feel all alone in this world... HE WAS GOING TO PAY!
"SHUT UP!" Nathan screamed.
Without hesitation, the vampire rushed forward with his enhanced speed, slashing out with his bowie knife once the distance was decreased. The slashes were wild, marked with anger as Nathan's desires remained to murder the opposition. Allowing for this Assembly member to live would be a sin, which increased the vampire's determination to end him. An attack was dodged, Nathan feinting left before slashing out and scoring a hit on the man's arm. The injury was returned with a grazing to the hunter's side, but it failed to even deter Nathan. There was determination intermingling with anger and sorrow, bring in a steely attitude to defeat this Assembly member. Hits were exchanged, countered and blocked while the pair displayed an equal matching in the field of combat. Finally, the vampire managed to stun his opponent, bringing back the sharp edge of the bowie knife and slicing the delicate flesh around the opponent's neck. There was a thud as the man fell, Nathan taking a few deep breaths to regain composure and give his muscles the necessary air.
The vampire gazed towards the corpse on the ground before glancing over himself. The number of injuries were limited, the grazing of his left alongside the nasty cut to his shoulder being the most prominent. The remaining wounds were bruises and insignificant cuts that would not hinder Nathan. He began scrutinizing the body until the sounds of advancing footsteps arrived, a younger boy with a similar appearance to the Assembly member he killed slashed at him. Without hesitation, the bowie knife came up, blocking the claws that this boy wore. Adrenaline continued pumping through Nathan's veins; the vampire was prepared to fight again. The blood from his wounded shoulder was manipulated, making sharp points that he launched towards the young boy.
Yuri was happy to interrupt the green hair boy, who had been in process of scrutinizing his brother's body. Nobody was going to be taking anything from his brother except him! But first he would handle this green hair pest, this boy who shouldn't have lived when he met him the first time around. To his displeasure, that bowie knife had come up and blocked his attack, his blade knuckles wouldn't have the slightly chance to cut him if he had that bowie knife protecting him the whole time. The blood being manipulated hadn't come as a surprise to him, seeing as he had seen his older brother die and his brother had plenty of victims that were vampires who happened to be skilled at blood manipulation. Though knowing all about it wouldn't do him any good if he couldn't block them from hitting him, so he took a few steps back, using his blade knuckles to try and knock those sharp points away from him.
The sharp points were coming at him quicker than he had expected, forcing him to take a few cuts before advancing towards Nathan, slashing with his blade knuckles in his attempt to try and smack that bowie knife out of his hand. Blood manipulation or not, it wouldn't do the green hair boy any good if he managed to slash him up quite a bit even if he could create the blood to become sharp objects. Still, slashing at the green hair boy was harder than he had once thought. Though he desired to kill him, it seemed a Terror tiring him out was necessary at this point. Now lets see.... where can I find one? He knew they were supposed to be all over the place, but since there were TRS hunters likely handling them, he would need to find one that hadn't yet been detected. Then of course he would have to make sure he had the green hair boy's uttermost attention. "Catch me if you can!" He spoke in Spanish, figuring it would be the easiest way to piss the green hair boy off.
He turned his back towards the green hair boy and bolted for it, rounding the building corner as he tried out running him. It is times like these that I'm grateful I hid away. He doesn't know me and yet I remember him as if it were yesterday. I want to see that kid cry for his brother again, except this time, it will be his life on the line instead. He would glance behind himself to see if there would possible attacks headed his way, holding his arms out in front of him so that it would become easier to block on coming attacks if heaven forbid, his faster opponent moved in front of him. The sooner I find a Terror, the sooner I can tire him out and kill him. Now the only real question is, where the hell is the closest one? He thought to himself, clearly annoyed that he hadn't found one yet.
There were intense feelings of anger running through Nathan's veins from the twisted torment. The painful reminders of his brother's death being inflicted were irritating, increasing the young vampire's vindictive desires. Eradicating all Assembly members and terrors was a crucial necessity considering their sinister intentions and how they ruined his life. Donovan was gone, the only remaining person of significance who cared for him killed because of their malicious intention; because of their foolish decision to murder his brother. THEY WERE THE MONSTERS THAT ROBED HIS HAPPINESS! THEY EXPLOITED HIS ERROR IN FOLLOWING DONOVAN! The pain was rising in Nathan's shoulder as he blocked the knife, but the flaring pain was ignored. The hunter's eyes narrowed into an anger-filled glared; another Assembly member. It was obvious considering the spontaneous attack aimed towards him, or at least presumably; either way he was a threat!
Once the enemy retreated, Nathan straightened his stance, lowering his knife to fixate on attempting to hurt the ravenette. Immediately, he countered the boys withdraw, making the sharp blood points continue rocketing towards the opposition without hesitation. When a few of the points managed to make contact, a sadistic smile stretch across the vampire's face, although, he was shortly interrupted by the advancing. The blood was summoned forth, acting as a secondary defence to the slashes being aimed towards him. With the bowie knife tight within his hands, Nathan slashed back, attempting to force his opponent backwards considering the boy seemed to be a close-combat fighter. Attacking with the distance that his blood allow could provide an advantage as opposed to the trading of blows. The numerous slashes aimed towards Nathan could not all be blocked, resulting in the bladed knuckles meeting flesh on some occasion, but the wounds remained limited.
The pain was ignored, Nathan pushing through to continue countering against the attacks; he could always regenerate later. Anger flared when suddenly the boy shouted words in Spanish and began running away. The vampire's eyes narrowed into a glare as a growl left the depths of his throat. THERE WAS NO POSSIBLE WAY HE WOULD ALLOW THE ASSEMBLY MEMBER TO ESCAPE! THEY DESERVED TO PERISH!
"COME BACK HERE AND DIE!" Nathan screamed angrily.
There was no hesitation as he following behind the young boy, determined to continue their brawl. The vampire was hasty in rounding the corner, but refused to activate his enhanced speed for the time being. Energy was required to obliterate his enemy, thus Nathan wanted to avoid frivolously throwing it away unless necessary. While the chase progressed, the vampire created more sharp needles with his blood and launched them towards the Assembly member. There was no possibility that Nathan would allow this obnoxious brat to escape; at least not easily. Speed was increased slightly, impatience resulting in the vampire's extreme desires to capture this nuisance. The sounds of footsteps pounding on the concrete echoed through the air as the chase continued through the streets. Unfortunately, the hunter remained unaware of the trap that the Assembly member was planning for him. A plan involving exhaustion and a suitable terror.
Yuri didn't care that Nathan was upset, he was the only one that mattered. His anger was going to help him kill this green hair boy, this boy who took his brother away. If he had known, he might have had the courage to kill him when his older brother had been killed. It wasn't like it would have taken much effort to rush after the boy, find out his hiding place and kill him on the spot, but this vampire had grown to become strong, having proved that when he had killed his brother. The blood had cut his flesh, but no sooner had the flesh been cut, had his healing kicked in. Though it sucked that he got attacked by the sharp blood in the first place, healing made it all better. It seemed that as long as he had the energy for it, he would be able to withstand quite a few more attacks unlike his brother who got sliced up by this green hair boy.
Though it wouldn't stop him from trying to slash at Nathan in return, seeing as his goal was to kill him, play time was over. He was happy to see that he managed to get a few slashes in. Though vampires could heal, he couldn't help but feel pleased that he managed to cut him in the first place. Still, this vampire was too strong for him to take on alone, so he shouted in Spanish and turned tail and bolted for it. He heard Nathan's comment and couldn't help but let out a laugh, thought he might believe he didn't speak Spanish, he could understand him perfectly. Glancing behind himself he noticed that more blood needles were headed in his direction, he turned to smack them with his blade knuckles, only getting a few cuts before turning around again and starting his retreat away from him. He turned down another block, annoyed as he passed by citizens.
They would have to hold off on their brawl. He wasn't like the other AP members, he didn't have any targets on his kill list except this green hair boy. Though it would make it easier to avoid getting attacked since the green hair boy was supposed to be protecting those citizens that they claimed to care about. As soon as I find that Terror, I'll kill you. He thought to himself, rushing passed people. He didn't have the patients to attack them, but shoving them out of his way was another story. From the distance, he could hear a Terror. He headed in that direction, if this green hair boy planned on catching him, he would be forced to follow. Though that wasn't enough for Yuri, he turned around and rushed towards Nathan to slash at him again. "The only one who will die is you." He answered in Spanish, seeing no great need in speaking in English for this boy.
Without hesitation, Nathan continued chasing the Assembly member with no thoughts taken towards the possibility of traps or discoveries of advantages for the opposition. Currently, the only thing that mattered to the vampire was to complete the objective of eliminating any enemy that stood in the way of his vengeance. Destroying the Assembly was necessary since they took everything from him. They had killed his nanny, Teresa and later murdered Donovan which left him alone in the giant manor he called home. The parents were away, the servants quietly went about their assignments while he moped in a lonesome slump until leaving for school or work. In the hunter's eyes, the Assembly of Phantoms were vicious monsters who would fixate on taking from the innocent; on taking from him. The concept kept his determination intact while he continued chasing the boy.
Damage had been given to his opposition, Nathan being content with the verdict until noticing the wounds he inflicted disappearing. The minor cuts were mending, knitting back together with ease which was infuriating. The vampire's eyes narrowed into a glare as a growl of annoyance escaped his throat; WHY DID THIS BOY HAVE TO HEAL?! Merely witnessing the action caused the green-haired teen to pick up his speed, the knife clutched tightly in his hand. He wanted to end this pest now!
"STOP RUNNING AWAY AND LET ME FINISH THIS! He yelled, even though the effort were fruitless.
Gradually, they began running towards a more citizen congested area, forcing the vampire to slow his speed to avoid bumping into others and to cease his onslaught of attacks. His green-yellow eyes flitted around the scene, noticing his opposition carelessly pushing people aside in perhaps a desperate attempt at escape. Another growl of aggravation escaped Nathan's throat as he narrowed his eyes, continuing to weave through the bodies amidst the crowd. Anybody he accidentally pushed or bumped into did not receive an apology; HE NEEDED TO MURDER THIS ASSEMBLY AGENT! Once free from the thick crowd of citizens, Nathan initiated a portion of his enhanced speed to regain the lost distance from weaving through the crowd. There was no possible way that he would allow this boy to escape, or at least not easily! When the stranger suddenly turned around to attempt and attack him, a sadistic smile drew across the vampire's lips. The boy's Spanish was ignored because of Nathan's unfamiliarity with the language. With his enhanced speed still activated, Nathan feinted left before countering with a slash against the boy.
"Awww, you think I will go down easy!" Nathan exclaimed, anger fringing on his words. "NOW JUST STAND STILL AND LET ME KILL YOU!"
The green-haired hunter was hoping for a deep cut, something that would hopefully stun his prey and allow him to complete the objective. There was a determination to defeat this Assembly agent no matter the costs; they deserved to suffer for killing Teresa and Donovan alongside other innocent individuals.
Yuri couldn't help but grin when he saw Nathan's face expression to his wounds healing right up. He laughed, Nathan's yelling was funny. "I'll be finishing this." He corrected Nathan in Spanish, He slipped between the citizens to give himself some distance between Nathan and himself. Once he got passed the citizens he had turned around, attempting to slash at him. The green hair boy had feinted to the left and he missed his slash, In the middle of trying to dodge Nathan's slash, he felt the dagger slash against his arm when he attempted to block it with his blade knuckles and missed. He couldn't help but roll his eyes at Nathan's comment. He knew he wasn't going to be easy to kill, that is why he was going to lead him towards a Terror to have them help him kill this green hair boy off once and for all. In response to Nathan demanding that he stay still, he moved to the side, determined to not get cut again.
He is following me as I planned. Now just a little bit farther. He thought to himself, laughing because the green hair boy seemed to be getting angrier and angrier the longer that he failed to kill him off. "I WON'T BE KILLED OFF THAT EASILY!" He shouted in Spanish, expecting the comment to frustrate Nathan even more, to his surprise it just so happened that a citizen was walking nearby with a cell phone in their hand that had the translator app open, it detected his Spanish and translated it into English for Nathan to understand exactly what he had said. Well that was unexpected but somewhat funny. He thought to himself before laughing, attempting to slash at Nathan once more. If I want him to continue following me, I have to hold his interest. Because if he goes back to my brother before I have a chance to do so, I don't be pleased with him. He thought to himself, more laughter before turning to try and out run Nathan again. He had heard a Terror in the distance, it gave him an idea of where he would be leading Nathan to his doom, wanting nothing more than to cut this green hair boy down.
There was no fun in the current situation for Nathan as he continued chasing the Spanish boy through the streets of Lorsette. The laughter escaping his target's lips was infuriating; THE BRAT WAS ENJOYING THIS! The vampire's eyes narrowed into a sharper glare as another growl escaped his throat. There was aggravation riling inside of the hunter since he loathed when Assembly members derived enjoyment from teasing him. The determination increased, shining in the green-haired hunter's eyes as he watched the boy slip through some citizens in an attempt to escape. Without hesitation, Nathan side-stepped the bystanders to get closer the Assembly member. Every word spoken in Spanish eluded the vampire, but it did not cease the intense anger that flowed through his veins. Despite this ravenette's young age, Nathan was going to TEAR HIM APART FOR WHAT HAPPENED TO HIS FAMILY!
"YOU WON'T BE LAUGHING WHEN I RIP YOU TO SHREDS!" Nathan shouted
Watching his bowie knife sink into the flesh of his opponent's arm was satisfying, although, aggravating since the wound would heal. Hastily, Nathan attempted to slash the Assembly member again in a desperate hope to deal more damage against the opposition. A mere side-step had allowed for the ravenette to dodge, resulting in another growl rising from Nathan's throat in frustration. The laughter was becoming incredibly aggravating for the vampire, especially since he desired it to be replaced with screaming! THIS ASSEMBLY MEMBER DESERVED TO SUFFER FOR ASSISTING ZEREDAH'S CAUSE! When the boy spoke Spanish again, the hunter rolled his eyes until hearing the translator state them in a robotic, English voice. The vampire glanced at the translator for a moment before flitting back towards the Assembly member.
"OH, JUST YOU WAIT UNTIL I AM BUTCHERING YOU! THEN YOU CAN TELL ME IF BEING A BRAT WAS WORTH IT!" Nathan responded, not caring if the boy could understand him.
When the boy began laughing again, Nathan glowered at him as he became more agitated. The entire situation was not supposed to be humorous and the vampire remained adamant to prove it. The running recommenced shortly after, the hunter giving the effort to weave through the citizens in hopes of capturing the ravenette. There were thoughts taken towards the possibility of waiting for a long stretch to sprint after this brat! At least running down a cleared street with his enhanced speed would allow him to reach the boy and end him, but Nathan was waiting for the perfect moment. Currently, the area was too crowded, making it immensely difficult to even attempt activating the ability. There was a tight grip on the bowie knife that turned Nathan's knuckles white as he continued chasing the Assembly member.
Yuri couldn't help but laugh more when Nathan shouted what he deemed as an empty threat at him. He couldn't help but believe that the only one that would be torn to shreds would be the green hair boy, as soon as Yuri got the chance he would take it. Your anger is amusing to me. Frankly I feel better that your angry because you had the nerve to kill my brother. Your lucky that it is only laughter right this moment. Oh what would I give to just end your life right now. I don't care for a long process of suffering, I don't care to brag, I just find that your tougher than I care to admit. He thought to himself, wanting to cut Nathan to shreds but for him to accomplish such a task, he would need the assistance from a Terror. "YOUR WASTING YOUR TIME SPEAKING TO ME IN ENGLISH!" He shouted back in Spanish, the translator was still nearby so it translated the words into English for Nathan to hear.
I'll have to be careful on what I chose to say in Spanish, the last thing I want is for him to figure out that I can understand him perfectly fine. He couldn't help but laugh, it helped cover his anger, his pain that he had lost his brother to this green haired boy. He had started running away from Nathan having an idea of where the nearest Terror would be at. He side stepped around people as he tried keeping distance between Nathan and himself, he rounded a corner, a person had ran into him because they had seen the Terror and had fled from it. Moving around the person, he would grip them tightly, waiting for Nathan to show up before pushing the person into him instead. If he hadn't figured out that he was being lead to a Terror prior, he was bound to figure it out right now.
"This brings back memories, doesn't it...." He spoke in Spanish, though he wasn't talking to Nathan, the comment was mostly to himself because the other green hair boy had died by his brother after killing a Terror first. The Medium Risk Mutant was in sight, heading straight for them.
There was a determined glint in Nathan's eyes as he continued chasing this mysterious boy. The endless taunts recited in Spanish were starting to infuriate the vampire to new heights as he followed, desiring to sink his knife into the ravenette's flesh repeatedly. The punishment seemed befitting for an individual who associated with the dastardly Assembly of Phantoms, although, he craved their suffering. Extensive hours of painful torment was the suggestion of his sadistic mind, insisting towards the concept of it being a necessity. The anger generated from the vampire's grief was overwhelming, forcing him forward without thoughts taken towards the possible repercussions of his reckless actions. The Assembly destroyed the closest definition the hunter had for a family; his constantly travelling parents being excluded from the significant individuals list long ago. They were atrocious, never providing that craved attention the green-haired boy desired from his parents.
The statement the Assembly member made towards being incapable of understanding English was ignored by Nathan despite the translation. Those threats were necessary to make certain this boy was aware of his intense anger; the tones could easily give away emotions. There was an instinctive requirement for shouting those remarks, a desperate impulse made in futile hope that the person would surrender; even if they were unable to comprehend the words! The continuous laughter grew obnoxious to Nathan, his yellow-green eyes narrowed as he chased the Assembly member. This condensed, moving group of citizens was delaying the vampire, creating difficulty in gaining the opportunity for a clear shot. There were people bumping into others, himself included among the group. Gradually, the number of bodies began lowering as they drifted outside the more condensed business area, making foot traffic lighter.
The opportunity was taken as the vampire activated a portion of his enhanced speed, allowing for him to move slightly faster. As distance was closed, Nathan managed to notice the fleeing individual which caused him to raise an eyebrow. The sudden dodge from the opposition accompanied by the harsh shoving of the citizen slowed the hunter down. The man who had been running crashed into him, nearly unbalancing the vampire from the sudden weight. Hastily, Nathan steadied the man before carefully pushing him into the direction he was running. A flinch crossed the hunter's face, his yellow-green eyes noticed the large medium risk mutant while he listened to the Spanish comment; perhaps it was gloating, although, Nathan remained uncertain. The terror growled, eyes locked onto the hunter as it began rushing towards them. There was no hesitation as the vampire tightened the grip on his knife, the blade slicing into his arm and ripping the fabric of his TRS jacket.
There was a mild pain, Nathan only grimacing for a moment. The blood oozed from the wound, feeling warm around his pale flesh; only for a few moments, it remained that way. Once the terror got into position, the red liquid surged forward in menacing points while the vampire activated his enhanced speed. In a fluent movement, he feinted to the right, dodging the oncoming attack and countering with his own bloody one.
Yuri moved to the side so the Medium Risk Mutant could run passed him without needing to move around him. He found himself staring at the two fight for a few minutes, not interested in joining in until Nathan was on the verge of death. When it seemed that the green haired boy might win, he decided to flee early, he had to go after his brother's dead body after all. Hopefully Nathan hadn't noticed him leave, he had glanced behind himself to see that Nathan hadn't followed after him, hopefully he was still distracted by the Terror that he had so kindly given to him a few minutes prior. It was a few minutes later that he had found his brother's dead body still on the ground where they had left them. He took off his blade knuckles, picking up his brother and his choice of weapon he fled. Unaware that a scout had noticed him. "Hey Nathan...." The scout radioed in, assuming that Nathan might care to know that he had caught sight of the Spaniard he had been fighting only moments prior.
"That Spaniard just picked up the dead AP member that you killed earlier." He finished, figuring that Nathan couldn't blame him for not telling him when he went a head and told him about what he had seen. Carrying his dead brother on his body with the weapons in his hands were proving to be difficult. He stopped in front of a car, smacking his elbow against the window to shatter it before placing the blade knuckles in his other hand before unlocking the driver's door. He pulled it open before unlocking the car, he then set the weapons on the passenger seat before opening the back door to carefully set his dead brother on his back. He closed the door before going to the driver's seat, hot wiring it to force the car to start before closing the door. He stepped on the gas and drove off, figuring he would only have a few minutes to get his dead brother to his parents house before the green hair boy would go searching for him, assuming the Terror hadn't killed him first.
He stepped hard on the break in front of his parents house, opening the door suddenly he pulled his brother's weapon out of the car before opening the back door to pull his dead brother out of the car. He took the dog tags that happened to be around his brother's neck off of him, before wearing it himself. He then put his brother on his back and carried him to his parents house. He opened the door suddenly just to be seen by his mother who screamed in horror when she saw that her eldest son was dead. "I won't return until I kill his murder...." Yuri promised his parents, exiting the house he closed the car door in the back before getting back in the car. He wouldn't make his brother's funeral, the honor would be his once he killed the green hair boy. He doubted the Terror would be able to kill him off before he had a chance to do it himself. A few more minutes later, he had arrived in the same exact spot that he had stolen the car from.
He pulled the blade knuckles out of the car and the weapon his brother had been using prior, placing the blade knuckles back on his hands, heading in the direction the green haired boy had murdered his brother, waiting to see if he would suddenly show up or prove to be already dead. The scout noticed the Spaniard had returned, to his disappointment, without the dead body that he had prior. He lifted the radio to his lips, "That Spaniard returned to the spot that you had killed that AP member, Nathan."
A flinch touched Nathan's features as he stared with horror at the medium risk mutant barrelling towards him. The creature possessed bear-like characteristics, although, obscured by the metallic implements that protruded from its patchy pelt. Silva dribbled down in silvery tendrils from its large, opened maw. The frightening teeth that lined the creature's mouth were sharp, appearing to be metal implements opposed to natural bone. Giant black claws clanked against the asphalt as the imposing mutant closed the distance. There was the faint sound of metal constructs moving beneath the thin layer of flesh, mechanism moving in a smooth, rhythmic motion. There was always a sickening reality to these creature's, their contorted flesh disturbing, especially at a close distance. The vampire's yellow-green eyes analyzed the mutant carefully, watching as the mysterious boy dodged it. The chase had ceased the instant Nathan realized the cruel intentions the murderous Assembly member possessed.
The hunter remained still, his eyes locked onto the terror as citizens continued fleeing in a chaotic mass. A majority were immersed in the frightening reality of a mutant rushing down the street. The motionless vampire observed the creature grow closer, noticing its bloodthirsty eyes. The grip around the Bowie knife was tightened, Nathan's eyes narrowing as he fearlessly stared down the terror. The mutant leaped, paws reaching towards the vampire as its mouth opened wider, a loud snarl exiting. Immediately, the battle began as Nathan activated his enhanced speed, allowing him to smoothly feint right without consequence. The supernatural speed was used to send his knife speeding through the terror's flesh, resulting in the mutant crying out in pain. The swipes continued, Nathan taking advantage of his superior speed to damage the mutant's right shoulder. Several deep gashes were created until the terror swiftly turned, the backside of its paw colliding with Nathan's shoulder. Shallow cuts were created as the vampire backpedalled, the intense sharpness managing to rip through his uniform and graze the pale skin beneath.
The black razors returned, a proper swipe from the terror scoring a trio of deeper cuts across Nathan's chest. The vampire grimaced, retreating furthering from the mutant as pain burned into his chest. Blood dribbled from his wounds, already steadily soaking his once unscathed uniform. Shortly, a smirk drifted onto the vampire's face as he allowed the mutant to rush again. There was no feint as Nathan stood still, allowing himself to bleed until suddenly drawing the red liquid. There was a mingling of the mutant's blood accompanied by his, forming a hardened shield of blood. A loud thud informed the vampire of the mutants closeness, promptly allowing him to shrink the shield. The flat surface transformed, gaining several menacing points. There was a yowl of pain as Nathan attempted to lengthen the spikes. The sound of radio static became evident, a scout's voice travelling through the device and earning the vampire's attention. It was a distraction from his twisted game, his eyes flirting towards where the opposition had theoretically remained, only to discover the boy's disappearance. The shield was hardened, Nathan fetching the radio and drawing it to his lips.
"HE WHAT?! GET ME BACKUP THIS INSTANT! I AM KILLING THAT BRAT!" Nathan shouted into the radio.
Afterwards, the vampire continued dodging and weaving the mutant's attacks. The sport of murdering these creatures was not thrilling when there was a larger prize. When backup arrived, Nathan immediately departed to search for the Assembly member. Anger settled into his blood, reminding him of his foolish display in getting distracted by the mutant. That teenager was relating to the psychopath who murdered his precious older brother; THAT CRIME WOULD BE PAID FOR WITH LIVES! The vampire rushed, searching for the boy desperately until finally, the scout relayed information about the location. Without hesitation, Nathan began heading in that direction, being careless towards the wounds on his chest because of his intense craving for revenge. The grip around the knife's handle was tightened, the vampire closing the distance between himself and the scene. When his yellow-green eyes noticed the mysterious boy, a sadistic grin touched his lips.
"PREPARED TO DIE?!" Nathan screamed recklessly.
The vampire continued running forward, attempting to get close enough to slash out. There was a desire to inflict pain onto this horrible Assembly member who possibly ASSISTED IN TAKING DONOVAN AWAY FROM HIM! Mercy was entirely off the table, Nathan searching for blood, his vindictive thoughts fueling his determination.
Yuri couldn't help but feel thrilled when he had seen the green hair boy had come for him. He had shouted and Yuri couldn't help but smirk because there was no way in hell that he was going to die from the hands of this vampire. "You shout too much." He chuckled, frowning when he heard an echo, somebody's cell phone was going off, translating what he was saying again. He couldn't have the green hair boy hearing everything he desired to say, if he wanted that, he would have started speaking English in the first place. Nathan had rushed at him to slash out, he used his blade knuckles to block the knife from slashing at him. I can see here that he plans on killing me when it it my right to kill him instead... Annoyed, he stepped forward and attempted to kick Nathan in the leg. That was for still being alive, killing him was for killing his older brother in the first place. Though he knew he was over thinking things, until Nathan was on the verge of death, he couldn't get ahead of himself here.
Because of you, I no longer have my brother around. You made this personal when you killed him... He thought to himself, knowing that Nathan was soooooo much faster than him, his end goal, outlasting the vampire. "I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!" He shouted in Spanish, rolling his eyes as the cell phone translated his words into English again. He would slash towards Nathan again, attempting to get some distance between him and Nathan before heading towards the citizen standing nearby, holding that damn phone in her hands. She would try and run away, he would reach out, grabbing her arm to force her still before yanking the phone out of her hand, dropping it to the ground before stepping on it to destroy the phone, releasing her from his grip. Much better. There isn't anything I hate more than interruptions. Still, you never know who might be nearby, waiting to hear me slip up. He would look towards Nathan. Now where were we?
There was no silence while Nathan charged towards his enemy, bloodthirst obvious in his yellow-green eyes. He was determined to annihilate this boy; send him spiralling into the darkest pits of Purgatory! Unfortunately, the sudden outburst of noise alerted the Assembly member to his presence, recklessness dominating the vampire's mind. Adrenaline pumped the hunter's veins, fueling his energy as he fixated on attempting to obliterate the brat who opposed him. The boy was an immense nuisance, especially since he possessed the audacity to steal away the corpse of the pathetic individual he disposed of. There was a shout in Spanish, shortly being translated by the cellphone of a passing citizen. The claim about how he shouted too much resulted in the vampire's eyes narrowing. This heathen lacked authority to inform him when his shouting was becoming obsessive! If anything, he should accept quick death instead of prolonging his inevitable fate to the blade of Nathan's bowie knife. This brat was the definition of a fool in the vampire's opinion.

"SHUT UP! AT LEAST I'M NOT A BRAT LIKE YOU!" Nathan exclaimed.

The distance between himself and his opposition was hastily closed, the vampire slashing out with his knife. A hiss of annoyance escaped Nathan's throat as the sharp blade collided with the bladed knuckles used by his opposition. There was annoyance obvious on the hunter's countenance as he placed more pressure behind the knife, hoping to force the knuckles blades back. Before the vampire could place immense strength behind his knife, a bout of pain shot into his leg. Immediately, Nathan withdrew, flinching from the kick that collided with his leg. There was a throbbing pain from where the hunter was kicked, the green-haired teen glaring at the Assembly member in response. The translation that followed resulted in a growl rising from the vampire's throat. There was no possible way he would allow this brat to murder him! Somebody needed to live to get vengeance for Donovan's death at the hands of these horrible pests.

"THE ONLY PERSON WHO IS DYING WILL BE YOU!" Nathan shouted in rage.
[break][break]
The sudden slashed forced Nathan backwards, the vampire backpedalling hastily to avoid blades reaching towards him. Afterwards, the hunter witnessed the Assembly member pull away, sights turning onto the innocent woman who overlooked the scene. The glaring continued, the vampire attempting to recover before the dark-haired boy closed the distance between himself and her. Further bloodshed for innocent civilians was unnecessary! Once the green-haired teen steadied himself, he rushed towards the boy, watching the Spaniard destroy the phone before releasing the girl. Snapping twigs and shifting plantlife filled the air as Nathan hastily rushed towards his enemy, slashing his knife when the distance was closed. The vampire still desired to destroy his enemy, it was a necessity.
Yuri rolled his eyes, hopefully he would think it was because he had shouted again instead of the fact he could understand him as clear as day light. Of course he used his blade knuckles to block the knife from slashing at him. Later kicking the vampire because he was still alive instead of his older brother. Soon, this green hair boy would be dead and he would be able to move on with life. After he shouted in Spanish, that cell phone's translator had spoken in English for the green hair boy to understand him. He rolled his eyes when Nathan shouted about the only one dying would be him. Perhaps it would be for the best, but I'd be damned if I don't drag you down to hell with me. He decided to himself, tired of that damn cell phone going off.
The whole point of speaking Spanish was for a language barrier. So he had pulled away to advance towards the woman to break her phone. Just as he finished breaking the phone, the green hair boy had rushed towards him, slashing out. He didn't have time to block with his knuckle blades so he lifted his arm up to receive the slash instead. Pain shot through his arm, hurting like hell. Blood fell from his arm, his attention completely towards Nathan before he started slashing out at him. His wound slowly started to heal up. This is pointless, I haven't gained the upper hand since attacking him prior.... He thought to himself, backing up again to try and give them distance. That car... I can out run him with it... however... how am I going to get over there before him? A thought crossed his mind, though it was possible that it might frustrate Nathan further, he would have to try.
He grabbed the dog tags around his neck, gripping it with his hand as the blade knuckles remained on his hands. "YOUR GOING TO DIE, I'LL DO IT MYSELF!" He shouted in Spanish, Nathan would have to take a guess on what exactly he had said, with any luck, he had gotten him stuck in thought for trying to figure it out, because if he had, Yuri would rush towards the car to attempt his escape.
