Far above, a team of helicopters was busily recording the battle. Having long since abandoned the visual spectrum, they instead referred to infrared and ultraviolet scans, overlayed with radar arrangements. it was they that kept track of the hordes of vampires blow, directing the groups of Crusaders and Inferno Tanks to outflank their targets. It was also they that discovered the new front that had formed, two beings with no infrared signature - presumed to be vampires - incoming from the Western roads. Already, they had wiped out a dozen or more signatures, mapped in ultraviolet. It was unknown how they fought so effectively in the absolute darkness that had cloaked the grounds, but it gave them a definite edge over the other vampires present.

Kami no kage received this information, as it was transmitted to his headgear. He had known, of course, that Bedhivere was nearby, and he had suspected that Bedhivere would be involved with this battle. However, based on the reports he was receiving, he would have no chance of slaying Bedhivere at such speeds. It appeared his opponent had the capability of teleportation, something which would be mapped and marked. It was unknown whether it was Bedhivere or Mo who had caused the absolute darkness, but either way it was a severe hindrance. It appeared that there was only one solution left.

Running to the nearest Inferno Tank, Kami no Kage hopped on the back. The tank turned rapidly, crushing a lamp post as it did so. To those few surviving SOLDIER agents who might be watching, it would be perplexing that the tank had turned away from the battle. At full speed, it shot towards the Western Road, a number of vampires getting crushed under the treads. This entire area was unclean, everything here was unworthy of saving. Those who had died, and would die, would be heroes, and revered by their brethren.

'Initiate Purge'

A second set of helicopters hovered, above those that had recorded. They contained no recording equipment. Instead, they had been spread out over the battlefield for a completely different reason. As the hangar bays below opened, large black shapes dropped downwards. One per helicopter, four in total, placed for maximum efficiency.

This entire area was unclean. Everything was to be purged. Everything would burn.
