((Wow, Karl's a scary mofo

The dirt flew the air in a heavy arc as Gabriel slid to a brake. He stepped off his new silver Ducati and took off his helmet, dropping it next to the bike.
The forest was aggressive and jumped at him from all sides. Gabriel, feeling more than a bit claustrophobic, moved towards the stone cottage at full speed. Leaves danced in the air as his blurred visage shot by. He almost instantaneously appeared in the doorway, Sword of Orvivus in hand.
He felt a dark aura, just a lingering really, like the smell of a cigarette leaving the room. Gabriel let his eyes adjust to the darkness and glanced around. Mark hung limply on the far wall, constricted by thick chains, Gabriel reached out with his senses to Mark, but felt almost nothing. The Malkavian must have been teetering on the edge of torpor.
The Ventrue strode towards the Malkavian and then sensed another presence in the room, also weak. He glanced down at the form on the ground. KATHY! He dropped his sword and bolted to her side, kneeling down and picking her limp body up in his hands.
She was unconcious, a nasty bump prodruding from the back of her head. No blood though, she would be alright.
"Kathy," he said, running his fingers down her cheek gently, "are you alright?"
Kathy slowly began to rouse back to conciousness as a figure appeared in the doorway blocking out the light....

((that's Karl :P

Kathy opened her eyes slowly, raising her hand to her head as she did.
"Gabriel..." she touched his hand as she felt it touch her cheek softly.
"I came to find mark....and she hit me...the bitch..." she said
Kathy looked at the door as karl walked in.
"karl....mark is he ok....he looked in a mess"

The bus made a loud screeching noise as the wheels locked and the friction of the tires against the floor caused the tires to burn and the bus to swerve slightly.

The bus came to sudden holt after traveling 300 yards down the street. The mechanized doors on the bus opened with a hiss as the driver left his vehicle he walked round to the front of the vehicle. There was a dent in the shape of the women he had hit in the grill of the bus.

His eyes glanced down to the body of the women. "Holy shit" muttered the driver under his breath. As he leant over his victim. The women before him appeared to be in very ill health. Marks sire been inflicted with multiple wounds across her body.

Her left leg was crushed and her ribs were snapped and chipped. The side of her face that had been hit by the bus was covered in blood. Her whole body was covered in numerous contusions, abrasions and deep lacerations. One of the poles from the grill of the truck had become imbedded into her left lung.

The drivers was taken back by surprise when the women’s right hand gripped tightly to his hair yanking him down allowing her fangs access to his neck. She sank her fangs deep and sucked on his blood frantically. Constantly using this new energy source to heal up her body.

When she had sucked the human dry of his life force she pulld his lips to hers and kissed him before allowing his body to land on the floor.

She stood and walked with a limp back in the direction of the stone cottage, removing the pole that was through her chest and taking it firmly in her hand

((noooooo..... Cast bad... Karl good. Go away cast...

Mark felt the release on his body now the chains had been broken. He sat still and silent. The hunger for blood was building inside him and the he was starting to lose the war raging within him against the beast.

Gabriel stood helping Kathy to her feet. They stood staring into each others eyes. There heads were moving together agonizingly slowly and there lips parted ready to embrace in a passionate kiss. The sound of a engine starting shattered the fragile silence and they moved there heads apart startled by the noise. There eyes averted to the wall opposite them.

The bricks imploded inwards being thrust in various directions as the Porsche (in which Kathy had arrived ) burst through the wall hurtling towards the couple. Gabriel pushed Kathy away from the incoming vehicle as he tried to move himself out of the way.

With the aid of his celerity he had got all of his body except his right leg out of danger. The car hit his leg hard pinning it up against the wall breaking the bone and crumpling up as the rest of it struck the hard stone wall. The toughened glass of the headlights shattered and several shards found a new home in Gabriel’s leg shredding the flesh.

Kathy picked herself up from the floor on her arms and glanced towards her new found lover who was trying to free his leg while grunting in pain as the car continued to push forward his hands tired to push the car away in a futile effort.

"Gabriel!" Kathy screamed out her lovers name in panic as she moved to try and aid him. She heard the sound of metal striking stone as she felt a sharp jabbing pain in her shoulder and could no longer move forwards.

She looked down at her arm in shock as she watched Gabriels sword travel through her shoulder until the hilt was pressing her shoulder hard into the wall.

Mark's sire stepped through the gapping whole in the wall with a huge smile across her face and the pole still in hand.

"Hey Elizabeth is home..."

(daaaamn.. you all been busy... Great postings, and i love the bits of graphic violence lol)

Echoe sat atop the bus, cloaked, looking around for any sign of Mark. Out in the distance, he thought he spotted Karl, having a bloody battle with a strange woman. He was about to jump down to get a closer look when the woman came flying directly into the front of the bus.

The Bus's sudden halt sent him flying off over the front of it, into the shadows. He watched as the bus driver looked at the bloody mess of a woman, and as she used his blood to heal herself.

he decided it might be a good idea to follow her. If she was fighting with Karl, she might have something to do with Mark's whereabouts. He picked up his guitar case, (which contained a small rocket launcher, fully loaded, along with a few scrolls of awaken) and lurked silently behind her in the shadows.

The woman got into a porshe, and started accellerating towards a smal building, which he ran into. he looked around quickly, surveying the area. Here were Mark, Gabriel, and Kathy... all severely injured.

Echoe had barely enough time to open his guitar case as the car came crashing through the wall, pinning Gabriel to the wall by his leg. The woman grabbed Gabe's sword and rammed in into Kathy's shoulder, then turned to Mark, with her face in a sinister smile.

"Elizabeth is home"

"is home.. home.. home.."

Mark's sire looked around, startled. Just as she heightened her senses enough to see Echoes face in the shadows, two large rockets were already speeding towards her. the first impacted her head, cracking it wide open as it exploded, sending her flying back over the hood of the wrecked porshe. the second rocket hit square between her legs, its momentum sending her open skull flying straight into the solid brick wall with a satisfying SPLAT and then another loud explosion and a splatter as her limbs and entrails landed on the ground around her. She might not get up for a while.

Echoe cocked his head to the side, smiling slightly, then turned toward mark, who had slipped into torpor as a result of his own wounds, and then to Gabe and Kathy who were unfortunate enogh to be within the blast radius. both were covered in the woman's blood, and slightly burned, but still intact.
He quickly put the launcher back into its case and tossed it into the car, then picked up Marks limp, mangled body, laying it across the back seat.

He awakened the two, then pulled the sword out of Kathy's shoulder, and backed the car away from Gabe's leg just enough for her to get him free. It seemed a miracle that the porshe was still in a condition to drive.

He looked at Kathy and Gabe, who both seemed to be in a state of shock, and spoke at them through teeth clenched together in pain.

"Get In... In.. In..."

"You can run..."
"But you can't hide"

Two identical voices spoke from the newly found entrance in the wall. Echoe quickly span round to look upon the new arrivals. They appeared to be identical twins. Both with short purple hair dressed in complete black clothes and a black trench coat. Each twin also wore a pair of mirrored sunglasses.

Echoe raised his rocket launcher to take aim only to have it knocked out of his hand. Before he could realize what had happened he felt a large strong hand grip tightly to the back of his neck. This new unseen predator’s grip raised Echoe from the ground and the sound of bones cracking could be heard.

"She was my favorite…" the voice was raspy and dark. Echoe tried to break free from the grip of this titan without success. The brute spun round and hurled Echoes body into the wall. The stone around the impact was chipped and dented.

Echoe activated his obfuscate powers and made a move crawling across the floor for his rocket launcher. As his finger tips reached out and brushed the side of the weapon the attackers foot came stomping down into the side of the launcher rendering the weapon un-repairable and useless as it remained crumpled and shattered beneath his foot.

The two made a chilling eye contact that sent a tingling sensation of fear run throughout Echoes body. One of the purple haired twins made a move towards Elizabeth who’s ‘abused’ body was laying slumped down against the wall. He placed his hands over her head and summoned as much power as he could muster before running his hands along her body.

Gabriel’s leg was almost healed and he made a move to retrieve his sword. His blade now firmly in hand he settled his eyes on the twin trying to aid Mark’s sire and began moving towards him. His path was blocked as a raging inferno of flames sprung across the room and made its path along the floor until creating a cage of fire around Kathy and Gabriel.

The second twin, who was still standing at the doorway, smiled proudly at his accomplishment before moving towards the center of the room. He peered inside the car and then opened the door. Grabbing Mark by his legs the twin pulled the lifeless body out of the car allowing it to hit the floor with a loud thud.

Echoe was once more taken ahold of by the neck and rammed up against the wall. The echoing sound of snapping bone filled the room.

"I have enjoyed our little games whelp… But your the least of my concerns" The tall dark figure reached into the inside of his jacket and removed a thick sharp stake that he proceeded to ram into the heart of the Malkavian whip. The now torpored body fell to the floor

Between the aid of her own healing powers and the advance healing powers of her kindred assistant Elizabeth rose and walked over towards the brute who was looming over his most recent prey. She pressed her body up against his as a playful smile preoccupied her face.

"Is this the one you wont to play with" His dark and evil posture had filled the room with a chilling sense of darkness.
"No Kazimierz." Her eyes averted to Mark’s position "This is the one I want"

Without another word being said between them, Kazimierz (the titan) began his slow large paces as he left the building. Elizabeth took Mark’s body and laid it down on the long marble table. Her hands drawing patterns as she outlined every single one of his wounds with her fingers.

The two twins took up stances glaring at the two vampires caged behind the firewall. The first twin pulled out a blade that resembled a Katana that was concealed under his long trenchcoat. The other pulled out a small metal pole that with a flick of a wrist caused the collapsible baton to extend to its full size.

They began to encircle there prey as the wall of fire dissipated. There were a few exchanged glances before the fight began.

((take it away Gabs or Kay :P Kill the purpled haired twins who no one likes anyway.
