a dark stormy day

a white wolf runs panting as it runs thought the forest. its runs as fat as it can in the darkness of the night as the rain comes down though the trees. lighting strikes showing the wolf being followed by a gang of vampires. they fire arrows at the wolf. the arrows are aimed for where the wolf will go. but the wolf trips over a tree root an the arrows hit the ground in front of the wolf. the wolf then gets up an cowers inside a hollow tree panting.

the wolf tunrs in to a white haired women panting an shes hears them come by she covers her mouth an hitched back as far as she can. every thing gos quite..... nothing is to be seen.... lighting strikes and there nothing...... the light dims. then another strike an there a vamps head looks in on her laughing. shes screems ins to her hands.

Suddenly, as a large lightning bolt cracked, the entire area became enveloped in an incredibly bright white light that made the whole forest ignite in black and red flames, destroying everything in the process as well, lighting several trees on fire and killing many vampires too. After all, they were this mans mortal enemy. After activating a hidden skill, a subordinate of Katalyst had ripped the vampire that was laughing hysterically at the frightened wolf-girl out of the tree and sliced its body clean in half, spraying blood everywhere. As Katalyst stood and awaited the girls shivering arrival he sighed, yet spoke with a deep and melodious voice.

"You may come out now, there is no need to fear me.." He smiled, as his subordinate reverted into the flames that surrounded Katalyst, transforming its body into the very igneous itself. Katalyst stood six foot six, and incredibly muscular, wielding a large pole-arm that had to weigh atleast a few tons. His armor, as well as his weapon began to glow with an elegant and bright goldenrod and black aura that stemmed from their figure and faded off.

The rain began to cease now, and the falling of raindrops decreased, yet the forest was still dark - As always, living up to its spectral expectations. It was called The Blackened Forest for a reason, after all.

Abilities/Skills/Spells Used:

Maneki showed up at the black forest.He had been authorizing mission for his soldiers all day.He liked to relax after a hard days work.He decided to take a walk around the black forest.Since the dark forest is naturally dark he didn't have to worry abou the sun coming out.

In the wood he saw some of the local rouge vamps chase a white wolf.He decided to intervene and save the wolf since he didn't like rouge vamps.As he was bout to attack the vamps but a light crashed down and destroyed them.He was safe from it since he was in taco cat form.He noticed that it was his old friend kat.He walked into talking distance and said "hi kat its me maneki."

kamy creeps out when the vampire is kill. she shakes alll over scared. if one more vampire was to appear she would mostlike loose control of her body funtions. she gos up to the man that saved her an hugs hid leg shivering. the wet girl licks his leg at a sign of thank you. but when she sees a cat she growls at it like she was going to attack it. she still shiverers while shes growing.

As the small girl escaped her fearful trench inside of the tree and began to lick his leg, Katalyst looked upon her in confusion as to why she would lick his armor. Then, noticing that the vampire king, Maneki, had shown up to the party he could see why the vampires were attacking this girl, not only for the fact that she was a werewolf - But this was the Darkened Forest, food was at a scarce level.

The rain had ceased from its former speed and velocity, slowing down moderately, basically only tapping against his armor now. The skies however, remained in their effacing blackness seeming to form literal demonic images in the swirls of black puffs. However, in the distance meteors and meteorites from The Castle Glacier could be seen raining into the battlefield from above, and as always, the sky above the Glacier was blended with dark hues of fire, smoke, and the everlasting scent of the dead rotting.

However, looking at the vampire he replied with yet another deep and melodious tone. "Hello, Maneki. I see your cowardice vampires were attempting to gang up on one of my comrades. Any reason as to why that is?" Looking down at the young werewolf as he spoke of her being his comrade, but keeping his eyes on Maneki showed that even though he may be the vampire king, vampires are still bloodful enemies of the Dark Elders as well as the Werewolves and Hybrids.

Picking the young werewolf up, he tossed her onto his shoulder, allowing her to literally sit upon the dense plate-mail that resided there, hanging off of his arm. Gripping his polearm, the material began to rot and melt away in his hand, seeming to form into the very armor he was wearing. In a few brief seconds, the polearm had completely disintegrated.

Maneki proceeded to say to kat "sorry about those vamps their some of the local rouges."In the distance he could his royal guard coming.The royal guards didn't like for the king to sneak off.

Maneki knew he had to go before they got to him.he then said "sorry kat i gotta go and sorry about those vamps attacking you little wolf."He then proceeded to run away.

kamy squeeks when he had picked her up an put her on his shoulder unknowingly he had pinched her cuase of her badluck things tended to happen to her. she grabs on to his head an begins to lick his head an the a stick falls from one of the trees and smack hits kamy on the head. she dos a wine like sounds an she holds her head. "wahhhhh T~T."

The trail of the disgusting vampires had lead Brandito into the Blackened Forest. This forest was infamous for being in a constant state of darkness, obviously given away by its name. Picking a fight with a group a vampires that had the advantage of fighting back in a place surrounded in permanent darkness didn't seem like the brightest idea, but vampires weren't really known for being able to fight back without a head, and with that though in mind Brandito upholstered his guns and followed them further into the darkness.

As they got further into the woods it was apparent that the group of misfit vampires had caught scent of something. Brandito began to cock his revolver, he hadn't expected to be sniffed out so soon, but if the time for a fight had come he more than welcomed it. Before he could stand up and give away his position a white wolf ran past about a few feet ahead of him, scurrying off from the direction of the vampires. They soon began to give chase, giving Brandito the impression that this wolf was no ordinary wolf, it must have been a werewolf they were going after. Brandito smirked before quietly crawling a bit farther forward in the thick underbrush, making sure to keep himself hidden. "This is great, two birds with one stone. Wish I had decided to bring some backup with me, but hopefully I won't need them...".

While this thought and many others played through his head he was interrupted by a crack of lightning that streaked across the sky, momentarily lighting up the perpetual darkness of the forest. Raising his hand to his face, he hoped to stop himself from being blinded, only to lower it again to see the forest covered in flames of red and black. The devastation was terrifying, yet at the same time phenomenal. The group of lowlife vampires that he had hoped to kill were slain, and a new figure appeared within the flames and debris. This man was unlike anything Brandito had ever seen before, exhibiting golden armor and a weapon that caused a cold sweat to run down Brandito's face.

The man began to speak to the wolf, which at this point had reverted to its true lycan form. The lycan seemed to try and show gratitude to the mysterious man by licking the armor of the man. By observing the mans expression after this he could tell that he was just as confused by this action as he was. While still perplexed, Brandito hears the voice of another entity. Lowering in his squatted position, Brandito turned around to see an unusual creature walking towards the duo. It seemed to be a cat, yet at the same time....it wasn't...Brandito rubbed his eyes for a bit and inspected the creature once again, just to make sure he wasn't actually affected by that bright light from earlier. The "Taco Cat" as it could accurately be described, began to talk to the two, referring to the mysterious man as "Kat" and himself as "Maneki".

The man known as "Kat" began to speak to the disfigured creature about his role in the attack that just occured on the lycan. Implying that this creature was the one that had sent them out on the girl. The cat known as "Maneki" replied with the excuse of the vampires being rogues and also added that the royal guards were on their way, and their dislike of the king wandering off. Brandito's eyes widened as he heard this. This was the king of vampires? The royalty of the vampires was something that was unknown to the humans and the lycans, for him to just show up like this was an extreme oddity. It also made Brandito suspicious. Why would the king of vampires so clumsily expose himself, as well as apologize to this man and a lycan of all things. Whoever this golden armored man was, he had to be strong in order to invoke an apology out of a supposed "King".

After a while Maneki decided to take his leave, leaving the duo by themselves. Brandito couldn't believe that an ordinary day of chasing down abominations lead to him finding out the name of the king of abominations himself, and also a man that obviously held some type of influence over him. Brandito continued to stay squatted for a bit before deciding to move forward with a sigh. "This might be my only chance...." Killing Vampires and Lycans on a regular basis was good, but it did little in the broad scope of things, this was the chance for him to get some real information about his enemies. Silently sneaking behind the couple, Brandito raised the gun to the back of the mans head, "Who and what the hell are you?!" Brandito was surprised by the nervousness that could be heard in his voice, but he quickly shook his head, trying to physically shake the fear out of himself. "Don't think of trying anything! If you do I'll shoot!"

OOC: For future reference, what's in Italics is what my character is thinking.

Although Katalyst was aware that this man had obviously been stalking and gathering information upon them for quite some time, as he could sense the human in the area even if he was quite unsure where he had been located. However, using his keen senses he picked up a scented trace as well as a sound the human had mistakenly made while 'sneaking' up to the two. As he pointed the guns at their heads, Katalyst sighed deeply and smiled. He turned around and grabbed the gun, pulling the trigger.

As the fire sounded off in the area, and echoed throughout the entire forest, the bullet however seemed to literally deflect off of the mans face and bounce back, the hot casing falling towards the human. Katalyst smiled at him psychotically and laughed like a true maniac would. Then, peering deep into the mans eyes and already sensing the nervousness he oh'so'obviously expressed, his voice rang out. "I am Katalyst. The Dark Elder. King of all life, and death." Suddenly, the ground around them erupted in a series of riveting black flames that seemed to burn a Star of David into the ground around them, that was gigantic to say the least.

From the symbol, several hundred deathly guardians arose. The guardians were completely nude, but had muscular and husky appearances, their bodies literally ripped with muscles and tendons that were stressed. They all were graciously demonic, and each had a pair of horns that twisted one way, or bent another. Whatever the case may be, they were certainly unfriendly, and unconditionally hungry for the blood of humans. However, as they stood in their place none of them moved a single inch. Katalyst moved from his position, and walked around towards the beasts.

Waving his hand out to the massive army, he began to speak. "This.. Is my army. Call it what you will, evil, or genocidic - I do not mind. We simply fight for a cause, which is total domination. Tell me, human, have you heard of The Castle Glacier, or even the Glacier Front?" Walking around further, the werewolf that sat upon his shoulderguard bounced lightly with each heavy step of his. The flames just now, began retracting themselves into the earth below them, settling completely. The rain, still falling light, began to come just a tad lighter, so that the aura on his mantle and chestguard began glowing with a more pristine and radiant hue and drifted off within moments.

Smiling and walking towards the man, his hideously large fangs hung from his mouth. "You see.. You humans are basically here because of me. I am not the devil, nor a God. Then again.. Look at how the world is put into play. Life brings happiness. Chaos and trouble destroys happiness. The body cannot continue without atleast some small amount of rejoice inside of its body, because the brain wouldn't allow that type of torture. Destroyed happiness, brings pain. Pain brings destruction. The relinquishment of life upon this Earth has been far too prolonged, and after this war a new age will begin. After all, wouldn't even you, humans, agree that destruction would further provoke the development of new life? New life forms? Life.. Anew?" He sighs and takes a breathe, picking up a leaf that was scorched by his recently cooled unholy flames. "Why is it you think forests bloom from wildfires, and even though men and women die everyday, twice as many are born."

As he reached the mans current location, and stood in front of him, he spoke once more after taking a belated breath. "Be grateful you can die, unlike me. A life lived without death is more torture than anyone would be able to handle. Imagine your wives and children growing old and dying away.. Falling deep into eternity while you can do nothing but watch those you care about most fade away from you.. And even though you have all the power in the world to bring life back, you cannot restore it." It seemed as though this man was hurt, speaking of this. That - Possible, this had happened. Who knows. Noone can speak of it, for he is the oldest living creature in the universe after all.

"BANG" whent the gun this had scared kamy that she almost started crying shes hangs on to the armor of this mans shoulder. she hears him talk for a little bit then black flames appear. as she watchs the demoic monsters come up shes shakes an her fulll bladder become empty an she pees from bladder contol losse from being so scared she begins to cry.


as she crys she mubbles word that are hard to hear as the man walks an talks. she just looks between her legs seeling the wet spot from where she had peed. her pee like any dogs who some times marks stinks. she afraid of what the man will do to her seeing how powerful he is.

In the back of his mind, he had expected that this method wouldn't work on this guy, and he was right. The bullet had deflected off of the mans face, leaving the casing of the bullet to fly back towards Brandito, hitting his cheek for a second but soon falling into the thick grasses of the forest. The man revealed himself to be named "Katalyst" after this and preceded to go on about life and death, and the spiral in which they were entangled.

Although Brandito listened, this conversation really held no importance to him, or rather he couldn't take it seriously anymore. The lycan that sat atop Katalyst's shoulder had urinated all over herself and on him as well, Brandito was more concerned with holding back laughs than he was with listening to a story about the "Circle of Life". But one more thing did catch Brandito's ear, the mention of "World Domination". "So..He is one of the bad guys. Should've guessed when he was acting all friendly with the Vampire King." But even with this realization, there was nothing that he could do about it. His approach earlier had already proved that his methods would be useless, as much as he hated to admit it, right now he was outclassed. Maybe later down the road he'd be able to face Katayst, but at the moment that thought seemed like fairy tale. The best he could do was try and extract as much information from this person as he could.It was obvious that he was very long winded and didn't mind speaking that much. "So, what started this war in the first place?"

Katalyst simply let out a breathe and picked the body of a dead vampire that his guard had killed, shaking it violently, grasping the creatures neck with an iron grip. He smiled and threw the vampire into the forest, disappearing into the thicket, several trunks of trees could be heard being smashed through. Looking at the human, he began to speak again.

".. Hatred." Simply spoken. Simply defined. "Nothing more, then simple hatred. Of course, not only does hate build with impending thought of dictatorship, but rather the thought of a race superior to their own, becoming more powerful." He laughed lightly. "A fair, reasonable reason of course.. But it also tends to lightly strike a hint of curiosity inside of my mind. Why not just unite forces and conquer the universe and the dwelling creatures out upon other planets? Is the same fear of superiority the fear all of these vampires and werewolves and hybrids share with other beings?" He laughed once more, and brushed his hand through his hair.

".. Well. More or less.. This planet would have come to an end regardless.."

kamy jumps off his shoulder skitters in to her little hole in the tree again after weting her self an katas armor. she trys to hide her self like no one could see her. she whipers an holds her head covring it an her butts in the air.

Brandito shook his head as Katalyst once again gave a show of his strength by sending the body of one of the vampires flying through the forest, trees crashing down soon after. Once again Katalyst began to speak of things beyond his comprehension, speaking of conquering other planets and the such. Brandito was more concerned with his planet at the time being, but he nodded as to not show any disrespect. But one question did irk his nerves though. "So as a Dark Elder what is your role in this war. I know you've explained that your goal is domination and the such, but from what I've seen from you it looks as if you hold the capabilities to end this war yourself. Why don't you?"

He smiled and laughed. "Although it may seem like I can topple cities over in one single swipe of my weapon.. I enjoy seeing the people squirm and have their blood spilled in the process. It shows them true meaning for their life. Theres a fine line between appreciating your life, and simply living it with no regret. Those who die willingly, give up, or even allow themselves to die without putting up a fight worth fighting, do not appreciate life. I simply give all of these blood hounds the essence of appreciation of their life." He took a quick breather, and looked at Brandito. "You seem like a skilled human, knowledgeable to say at least. What is your name?"

Brandito nodded but sighed as he heard Katalyst's response. It wasn't that he wasn't strong enough to accomplish this task, it seemed as if he just would rather let them suffer in convoluted plot to make them appreciate their lives. This war had been going on for so long that if there was something to learn from it, it seemed that it would have been learned long ago. Brandito nodded though, accepting his reasoning though. After all, it wasn't this guys place to have to stop a war if he didn't want to. Katalyst then asked of his name. After thinking for a while Brandito realized he had never really introduced himself, except for pulling a gun on Katalyst and that werewolf that accompanied him. He let out a slight laugh and opened his mouth, "My name is Brandito...I came here to the Blackened Forest in order to do some hunting, sadly though you killed my prey before I got a chance to." Brandito then crossed his arms, "I've noticied that the vampires are beginning to mobilize more than ever. Even the weaklings have no fear of conflict, but Ill put a stop to that soon enough..."

Angel walked around the night or day and sees people she hid behind the "I wonder what there doing"she whispered she watched((Brandito funny sigXD)

Katalyst heard the small girl whisper and used his telekinetic powers to lift her high into the air. Then, realizing she was a werewolf rather quickly, he put her down and released the grip, reverting the powers back into his core. Listening to what Brandito said, however, he quickly retaliated.

"Indeed, the vampires are beginning to abandon their own survival instincts in order to fully take over the world, and shroud it with their own image. This, however, has failed obviously. The vampires are reacting like that of humans.. If you cant murder or beat someone alone, you will travel in packs like a werewolf. However, like every era of further substitution, the groups will eventually fail, recede, and fall back. This has not been the case though, and the vampires are forcing their clans to extinction. Quite frankly, I do not have a problem with that."

He then looked at the small wolf he picked up and peered into her eyes, seeing if she had been somehow changed or attacked by a vampire. Because every wolf has a red slit that makes its appearance known shortly after a battle. Seeing no signs of it, he began to speak to her. "You. What is your name, and rank."

While he spoke to Katalyst a female werewolf shot into the air and hovered there, unmoving. Brandito was astonished, "What the fuck is goin on?!" He then looked over to Katalyst, to see if he was seeing the same thing he was seeing. From the look in his eye it seemed that he was actually the cause for this abnormal occurrence. Soon enough though Katalyst began to speak, further confirming what Brandito was believing about the vampires. "I see...Guess ill just have to be the cause of this, "Extinction"" Brandito said this jokingly, but intent rang clear behind the words. Katalyst then welcomed the werewolf from earlier over and began to question it. Brandito let out a slight smile, "Heh, it seems like you got a soft spot for the werewolves." This statement was one of those things that you say before you actually think about what it was that you were saying. Maybe Katalyst would take the statement in the fact that it was a healthy observation and nothing more, or maybe he would take it negatively and think that Brandito was calling him soft. Hopefully, Kat would take it as it was intended, if not, Brandito would be flying through the woods the same way that vampire did.

After the rigmarole with the small werewolf, he decided to leave that question at an expulsioned statement by sending a message into the wolves head that said "Nevermind.. I know who you are now.." Looking at Brandito, after his unexpected response to the abnormal occurrence. He laughed lightly as he spoke of him being the cause of the vampiric extinction, further provoking an idea of complete genocide. "Brandito, you do not realize the quantity in which these vampires are numbered. They are in the billionths.. And although, you are knowledgeable and skilled, not even you can take that many out. There are ways of.. Further increasing your power, however. Those in which that are naturally forbidden for any elder to do, but I am the only Dark Elder, for a reason."

Then, listening as Brandito spoke of a 'soft spot' towards werewolves, Katalyst laughed once more, but this time in a more playful tone. "Haha.. Yes.. I have become quite fond of werewolves, and Hybrids alike. Aside from that, though, they are my army. I have them numbering in the trillionths, all geared, armored and skillfully trained and disciplined." He took a slight breather once more, and focused on Brandito. "So. Tell me, Brandito. What are your plans for this, genocidal action you are taking? Also, do you have an odd curiosity for power?"

Brandito expected Katalyst disbelief in his thoughts about wiping out the vampiric race, everyone else he knew doubted him as well. As impossible as it seemed, Brandito believed he could do it, and belief during these depressing times was all he needed. But something that was surprising to him was in the calm way that Kat replied to his comment about the werewolves. Kat's reply shocked Brandito. A werewolf army that numbered in the trillions?! These revelations about how truly outnumbered he was in this fight slowly began to shake his resolve.The hundreds of vampires he had slain over the years weren't even half of a fraction of the amount that still roamed the world. Was what he had been doing even making a difference? Soon enough though, Kat's words brought him back from his world of thought. "An odd curiousity of power?" Brandito thought about this for a minute. Of course he wanted to become more powerful, but the way that Kat presented it gave it an ominous feeling. "Yeah...I guess you could say I have a curiosity for power. But...what would this power you're talking about cost me?"

The words spoken by Katalyst were unexpected but at the same time when given the opportunity to obtain great power, it usually comes with a great cost. His life would certainly count as one of these "great cost". Brandito began to smirk, "As much as I'd love to say yes right off the bat, I like to know what it is im buying before I make a purchase...."

Katalyst looked down upon him, since he would basically be towering over him with a husky and overly muscular build. He sighed. "You will become one of my right hand men, a minion of my unholy army. But, you will be beyond powerful, that I can assure you. Eternal youth and unexplainable power awaits your decision, if it is a yes." Before Brandito could have made his decision, however, he began explaining once more. "You will become a Hypohybrid. Do not take this offer lightly though, Brandito, for this is a once in a life time opportunity."

Brandito looked up at the man who loomed over him, explaining the terms of the offer. What Katalyst offered sounded amazing. He had been fighting against the vampires with The Hunters for so long and from what he was being told, their efforts made virtually no difference. They had been laboring for so long pointlessly. This offer was something that potentially make a difference. He would lose his humanity, but hopefully by assisting Katalyst, maybe one day it would lead to the destruction of the vampires and free the humans from their oppression. It was a long-shot, but if it had the chance of succeeding he was down for it. Brandito clenched his fist and looked back at the towering man in front of him, "Katalyst...I accept your offer..." That was it...Brandito had offered up his life, all that remained was the action that Katalyst took after this moment.
