The Blood Compact

As soon as the smoke grenade left his hand, Mithias heard the clink of metal ripping through metal and his back wheel went out of control. The bike fishtailed and then went down on it's side, sliding and flipping over obstacles as it veered off course. Mithias had managed to pounce off, but was forced into a sub-ideal recovery. Instead of drawing his guns, he pulled his two blades as he rolled up onto his feet. The left side of his SOLDIER uniform suffered some road rash, but the protective high-quality material endured. Smoke billowed out rapidly from the grenade, covering the whole area within seconds. Mithias stood within the cloud, blades ready, lips pursed, not making a sound and trying to locate his enemy. Tense microseconds dragged on... One of the wheels of the motorbike kept spinning long after the engine had automatically shut off somewhere in the smoke. Mithias was on high alert, poised with intense focus. Melee with Kami wasn't his preferred method of dealing with him, but he had to be ready for such an attack in a fog like this. He felt in his blood the surge that accompanied every warrior into battle, fear. Perhaps Kami knew Mithias was still there in the fog, perhaps he was guessing, but he spoke. That emotionless, reverberating voice echoed off the wall and buildings around them. The vampire desperately tried locate its source. The voice seemed to be slowly moving, but where was it coming from!? The vampire kept his head and kept his guard up with his two titanium swords. Kami was right. Mithias had been born into this war. It was all he had ever known in his long seven centuries. He used to fight against all vampirism as a human, just as Kami no Kage did now, so he knew exactly how zealous his opponent must be. So much had Mithias wanted peace, yet he could not abide the slaughter if innocents. Some innate directive told him that it was wrong, and it killed him not to show mercy. He would strive to find another way. but he had been doing so for a very long time. It was ironic that in a way, they both sought the same end. Mithias heard Kami's disturbing, fatalistic words, followed by the faint sound of a weapon clicking free. He blinked and searched with his golden eyes into the smoke clouds, also turning slowly to try to find Kami. "What you say is true, human. Time has shown me that the 'war' between us is unending. But... time has also shown me, that it is more than a mere conflict between species." He swallowed, catching a faint glimmer of light through the fog in one direction, then continued slowly, "This war, our war, is nothing less than the eternal struggle between good and evil. Humans and vampires are ultimately the same. A vampire's power may be used for great evil, but it can also be used for great good!" Mithias emphasized that last part, his voice belying his sincerity. He returned to normal tone. "They deserve the chance to choose." He was pretty sure he knew where Kami was hiding at this point, but pretended to be oblivious. "Regardless of whether or not SOLDIER has lost sight of its purpose, I still have not lost sight of mine. If you believe in redemption, if you truly have faith, then abandon your genocidal crusade. Do not lose hope in others, Kami no Kage. Join me, and fight for true justice."

HCL 2: Twisted tinkers' triumph

Meanwhile, back in parallel-universe-dreamland, a vampire and a Bug are highly confused. Coming up next, a bloodseeker and a little girl go looking for food. So much action.

I'm probably just going to have Mithias leave and appear someplace else in the story.

The Blood Compact

The Blood Compact

@Rusalka

Why thank you. It's been stuck in my head for days.

The Blood Compact

General Matt was both blunt and decisive when he apparently gave the order to attack, being the first to open fire himself. Mithias had expected him to retreat to safety. Being a commanding officer, he would be crucial in organizing and directing the SOLDIER forces, a bunch of humans, some of which had never seen combat before. Of course, he could not be blamed for immediately attacking. Matt was inwardly a belligerent old geezer, and having been caught out at the front gate, he may not even have been able to successfully abscond. Mithias cursed under his breath for not getting here sooner and looked warily at the bionic ninja. In response to the general's actions, or perhaps it was inevitable, the Purge crusaders and tanks took acion. Mithias could only shake his head at the knight look-alikes that went down to bullets, but the bolts lodging themselves into concrete gave him plenty reason for concern. Gross deathscreams curdled his blood as immoliated human 'kindred' of his fell unconscious to the pain of fire and perished. For all his work to promote and keep peace, the slaughter had already begun so easily around him. He looked at Kami with grave expression as he listened to the warrior's words. Mithias squinted his eyes briefly, but did not move, as a bullet hit the ground near him and flung dirt upward in a mini explosion. "SOLDIER stands for peace. You stand for slaughter. Which of those is the greater good? We will not let you win." Mithias revved the engine of his bike as he saw Kami launch his cross-like stake-knives and charge forward. Gaging Kami's speed, Mithias aided his machine to accelerate away. Never taking his eyes off the professional assassin as he was quickly closing in, Mithias pulled his FN57 with his left and fired several shots at Kami while driving. His vampiric senses told him what was in front of his bike as he tore alongside the base at high speed. He didn't signal. Retreating to a more advantageous position was the best he could come up with at the immediate moment. His bullets failing to kill Kami no Kage, no surprise, Mithias Chucked a smoke bomb and returned both hands to the steering. Tanks, flame throwers, a holy water vaporizer, bolts that could cut through concrete... This was merely a SOLDIER outpost. Kilo Point didn't have tanks. Hair blowing randomly behind him, the vampire considered his pursuer. There was no doubt about it, Kami was part machine, but he was also human in the flesh. He would die, somehow, if not in battle, then from age, and that could just as well be a method of defeating him. Surely he had some kind of defense against vampire mind control, or he would have fallen by now. Humans also had several requirements beyond the needs of a vampire. They had to have warmth, oxygen, nutrition, an intact spine... and they had to breathe. He pushed the bike to put some distance between him and Kami. As soon as he heard the smoke bomb go off, Mithias kicked off the foot pedals and brought his feet onto the seat before jumping straight up off the bike and onto the stone wall surrounding the base. The bike sailed on without a driver. Hopefully, Kami would be tricked by the simple ruse, at least for a moment. Mithias had both guns pulled before he even landed with a roll, ready to use them if he had been seen.

You have seemingly misinterpreted my article. We have a Hulk. Be it The Hulk or not, we have A Hulk.

@The Grey Dust

I would like to know to whom you ar referring when you say that we have a hulk, because right now, Mithais is staring down the barrel of a 45, and Kami is on the other end.

That sucks Makarov. Have you at least seen a doctor?
