Twilight. It was a time of transition, when the light of the sun gave way to darkness. The time when those who feared the Lord would come out of hiding, believing themselves to be stronger cloaked in shadow. The attacks up until now had only been the beginning. Every method of tracking available had shown all known 'Feral' Elder Vampires heading towards this location, a congregation of ancient demons, those who would defile the name of the Lord, and take His place. Soon, the horses of apocalypse would ride out, and war would be upon them. Little did the beasts know that it would be them who would fall.

Smoke curled up into the darkening sky, a pipe held in ironclad fingers. With the sound of a sword leaving the sheath, a visor slid down over the lower half of the paladin's face, as he discarded the pipe. Standing, he moved forward, the figures around him following his lead.

It was time for war.

--------------------------------

Panic ran through the streets of Kilo Point, as great tanks emblazoned with the flaming cross drove through the market square. Far above, helicopters gathered, great smoke machines prepared to blanket the ground in The Breath of God. Already, teams of ex-SOLDIER special forces were setting up great crucifixes, lit brightly aflame. Marching rapidly, the forces filled the city in moments, SOLDIER troops nervously raising their weapons, moments from hostilities, unsure whether to shoot the extremists.

Loud voices echoed through the streets. And yet, both the demands of SOLDIER and the protests of civilians grew silent as the armor-clad figure of Kami no Kage marched through the central streets, heading straight towards the main SOLDIER base. A mechanical voice called out, emotionless, unidentifiable. 'Heretics of SOLDIER! Lay down your arms, we are not here to kill you. We bring the Hammer of Wrath, to slay the foul beasts that plague this land!' Unhindered by the snipers already taking their position, Kami no Kage kept walking, heading straight towards where Matt was standing near the front gate. 'We will purge this place clean of all impurities. Let it be known that the Warriors of God stand with you this day.'

It would have been awfully dramatic, had it not been spoken in that mechanical, monotone voice. And yet, the heavily armed tanks taking up their position behind Kami no Kage added a certain.... edge to his words.
