As his prey moved away rapidly, another knife-blade appeared in Kami no Kage's hand, once more being fired. Even as Mithias turns behind him to throw the smoke grenade, he finds a blade striking his motorcycle's wheel. Twisting and turning, the motorcycle crashes into the ground, even as the smoke grenade - which Mithias had managed to drop during the crash - goes off, covering the area in fog. Sliding to a halt, the vampire elite finds himself surrounded by obscuring fog, and even as he tries to activate his infrared vision, he finds nothing. Hundreds of heat patterns move around, but all of them look to be either SOLDIER agents, or Crusaders. Kami no Kage would seem to have disappeared with- out a trace, having somehow disabled his own heat signature.

The monotone voice arose from the mist, giving Mithias a bead on Kami no Kage's location. 'Peace? Do you truly believe that? Abomination, your life has been many times longer than mine. Tell me, abomination, has there ever been peace? This magical balance you seek out, it does not exist. For as long as both humans and vampires have existed, there has been war.' Light footsteps, the click of Kami no Kage unsheathing another throwing blade, the thick fog preventing all but audible mediums of orientation.

Through the mist, the assassin moved, having switched to the ultraviolet spectrum. The fog was causing problems, but the ultraviolet was a far more reliable method of locating his prey in this mess than infrared or colour-light. 'SOLDIER is a lie, a corrupted fallacy, pulling a blind before the eyes of good men and striving only to rule. If SOLDIER truly stood for peace, why are there no vampires in the ruling council? Why is it that SOLDIER has supplied us, the supposed breakers of the peace, with weapons and vehicles? Is it, maybe, because even among SOLDIER, there are some who realize that to attempt to pacify the vampires is hopeless?'
