It really sounded like the battle was over. Mithias listened, the holy gas starting to annoy him once again, like the ever-burning cross against his chest. Hardly a gunshot when off randomly in the distance. Fire crackled near and far, but there were no engines, no screaming... he couldn't even detect a single one of Magnus' brood of fledgling warriors. Mithias furrowed his black brows. 

Then he head Hale's voice. The entropic werewolf, and the other half of the beast, had been obscured by smoke not far off. Mithias drew near, drawing his blades. As he got closer, the scene unfolded before him. Kami was standing over Magnus. Hale was practically salivating with his sledgehammer. Mithias couldn't read his mind, but Magnus still looked alive. The vampire neared Hale, but of course not too closely. Disorder and a sledgehammer were a dangerous combination. 

This was a meeting that couldn't be backed out of, not once it had already begun. Mithias let himself be seen clearly, and clearly, he was not dead as Kami may have thought. He was going to backup Hale and fight Kami. Perhaps Magnus could still be saved. 

Mithias would probably start out doing most of the fighting, if the new techniques he learned with Bedivere actually worked, which would give Hale's aura time to do its destruction. Fearful for Magnus, and keeping in mind his promise to his asshole father, Mithias put on a brave front.

"Kaminokage." He acknowledged his enemy and saluted, while Hale visibly burned with anticipation. Mithias was really hoping to avoid ever running into the Divine Shadow again. With any luck, he could have simply outlived the supposedly human-cyborg, but it looked like that wasn't going to happen. "I have to thank you. For if it were not for you, I might be fighting alongside you right now." The vampire narrowed his eyes in disgust as he said that. "I knew in my blood that we would meet again, but as much as I would prefer to avoid you, I can't allow you to win this war. The survival of my kind depends on it, and that's something I would fight to the death for." Mithias sighed heavily. He was breaking his promise and at least one vampire was sorely going to miss him. He focused his mind on that, on those he loved. They would be the source of his strength in battle. 

Mithias knew he would have to attack first to draw Kami's blades from Magnus. Going first was almost always a mistake. What a shitty disadvantage. He took a ready stance and watched Kami for the slightest muscle twitch. If he moved to slay Magnus, Mithias would take advantage of the opening.
