[quote=supertinyking] She lets out a yelp, and even before the blood can reach her eyes or orifices, Nathan is on the vampire. Moving at speeds faster than the human mind can see, he grabs Mithias and throws him away from the girl, with enough force to rip the tongue out of his mouth. Nathan then quickly starts to try to use his one hand, clad in a gauntlet, to touch the blood. [/quote] The emperor must've had godlike speed and power to be able to separate Mithias from the cyborg girl. The vampire did not expect this, but no matter. Mithias landed in a crouching position, his blades within easy reach. He lifted his head, eyes still aglow, while blood dripped from his fanged maw. Blood spattered across the ground between them and it appeared that Nathan was attempting to touch it with some kind of gauntlet on. A strange gesture, Mithias thought as his flesh began to heal, reforming a working mouth. He tried to re-tame his anger and bloodthirst, but it wasn't easy. Nathan, and his inept bodyguard, were not the intruders here and did not deserve to be attacked. Finally, when he once again had a mouth, he spoke, "Nathan! ... We need your help."
