notice a small jewelry box and when I open it, I see two replacement rings that are identical to the ones that Cheza gave me over a year ago…
“ You two will have to settle for dragon skin vests instead of the custom made stuff.” Jericho says, turning his attention to Reyna and Jason.
“ The blast melted the metal barrel and springs in your gun, but we were able to replace those.” Jericho informs me as I slide both rings into place on my fingers.
“ Sweet; thanks Jericho. Reyna, if you draw a blueprint of what you want, I can make it out of silicon carbide using my blood. I guarantee that it will be the lightest, and the strongest weapon that you’ve ever used.” I tell her while putting on my holster and jacket.
“ Really!? Thanks Cole!” Reyna exclaims and then runs off to find a pencil and paper.
“ Hey, do you guys mind if I get shneefed in here?” Jason asks.
“ Seriously? We’re about to mount an assault on a vampire stronghold that has untold numbers of supped up vampires and a liche! So yeah, let’s just start doing blow and jerking off on each other!” I respond incredulously.
“ Emilio’s dead in the shower!” Jason exclaims and we both start laughing. “Daniel Tosh’s joke about an alternate ending for The Mighty Ducks ; classic!”
“ Definitely! But seriously bro, no shneefing; you may have a problem…” I reply.
“ Yeah, you’re probably right… can’t wait to show you some of the shit I can do now, CT!” Jason says excitedly while trying to change the subject to something other than his possible cocaine problem.
“ Okay, I just remembered that I can’t draw for shit… can I just describe what I need?” Reyna asks after coming back down the stairs.
“ Sure, I’ll do my best.” I tell her.
“ Alright, I need a total length of five feet with eighteen inch, straight, double-edge blades on both ends and two X-shaped cross guards.” Reyna explains. I twist my right ring open and slice into my left forearm. I build the weapon to Reyna’s specifications and hand it to her. (4.6 Liters)
“ Thanks Cole!” Reyna says.
“ Yeah, no problem. Hey, do you have any idea how many in number Alam’s force is?” I ask.
“ Roughly thirty…” Reyna replies. Now I’ll just need to see if their auras are red like the supped up vampire in the Citadel.
“ Alright, put your vests on and let’s get going.” I say.
Chapter 6: Party Favors Aren’t Always Fun
There are four vampires on the roof of the warehouse and two by the gate. The ones on the roof are armed with rifles (with models that I can’t discern at this distance) while the ones guarding the gate only have swords, but they also have red auras.
“ Alright, any plans on how to take out the guys on the roof? Normally I would just port behind them and silently execute them, but it seems that I can’t port…” I say.
“ Just leave that to me, CT!” Jason exclaims with a smile and disappears in a swirl of black mist.
I look on the roof and see that Jason has appeared behind one of the guards. Jason swings his arm and black mist passes through the guard. A second later, the guard throws up a large quantity of blood before falling over while Jason takes care of three more before they know what’s happening. Four bodies lie prone on the roof and a black swirl appears beside me about fifteen seconds later.
“ Alright, the two guards by the gate are the supped up variant that I fought in the Citadel and something tells me that the moment we kill them, Alam will know that we are here.” I inform them.
“ So what do we do?” Reyna asks.
“ Okay, here’s the plan: you two will engage them as I rush past them, enter the warehouse, kill everyone, and rescue Kita. You two should follow as soon as you finish them, but I’ll hopefully have it wrapped up by the time you get there.” I break it down.
“ Wrapped up? Cole, you could barely handle one in the Citadel, let alone the twenty or so
