RP: Venom in the Neon Dark
DIR By: Coolcat207

---------------------------------------------------------
A week ago:
Night draped itself over the Eastern European countryside like a
funeral cloth.
Two CIA operatives moved through the tall grass toward a
derelict farmhouse. They were given intel on the drop point for
stolen Soviet intelligence. They were tense, but confident.
Their informant swore the files were real. Washington wanted
them yesterday. They never saw the KGB until it was too late. A
flashlight snapped on. Russian voices barked orders. Guns were
raised. The operatives reached for their own weapons and got
into a stand still. But then, both CIA men froze, choking on
nothing. A wet, rattling cough tore out of their throats. Their
knees buckled. One of them clawed at his neck. Another vomited
blood into the dirt. Panic flared in their eyes as they realized
the truth: They hadn't been ambushed. They'd been played. The
poison bloomed inside them like a dark wildflower. As they
collapsed, a pale man in a black suit and hat strolled past
them, whistling a cheerful tune. The grass around his shoes
yellowed and died with every step, as if recoiling from him. He
didn't look at the dying men. He didn't slow down. He didn't
care. Silas Vetrik already had what he came for. By the time the
KGB realized their own lungs were burning, Silas was already
gone. Slipping through the night with a folder of Soviet secrets
tucked under his arm. How the agencies would explain the bodies
was their problem. Silas didn't leave answers. Only corpses. He
met his Sabbat contact in an abandoned rail depot.
The Sabbat vampire gives Silas the money who exchanged the
information in return. Silas thumbed through the bills, nodded
once, and accepted a smaller envelope which is sealed, and
marked with a crimson sigil. He breaks the seal, open the letter
and reads it. Once finished, he puts the letter away and makes
his leave toward the darkness, adjusting his hat. Sin City was
calling. And The Stone Serpent never ignored a summons.
Two Hours Later after the Botched Human Trafficking Operation:
Sin City, Las Vegas, Nevada. A place where monsters didn't need
to hide. They just needed better suits. Silas adjusted his hat
and stepped forward, the desert wind carrying the faint scent of
gasoline and sin. It has been a long trip along with some
strings pulled to get him here. He met the Sabbat vampire 35
minutes later in a shuttered casino lounge, with very dim
lighting. The thin and nervous vampire closed the door behind
them.
Sabbat vampire: Mr. Vetrik, it is a pleasure to have you here.
I'll cut to the chase. We've been having a little... witchcraft
problem. The humans are calling her "The Ghost Killer". She has
been going after mobsters, corrupt government officials, etc.
But she also took out one of ours. A Brujah vampire, even though
he was given demon blood. Now luckily, the humans do not know
who or what she is. But there has been rumors talking about
certain demons going around...
Silas: What do the boys want, fledgling?
Sabbat vampire: Y-Yes! My apologies! We need your help finding
out who this killer is. Damien Thorne, the Anti-Christ... he and
the other members of The Church of Demons want to settle this
matter personally. They even know who she really is. But the
Blackwood brothers... they want to be in Damien good graces.
They believe that an alliance with the cult could benefit the
Sabbat if we capture this witch alive and hand her over to him.
Silas: I see... and they need my help for this little witch
girl. Alright, I'll bite. Tell them I want my money in an
envelope in cash.
Sabbat vampire: Thank you, sir!
Silas casually reached into his coat and produced several small
vials—each filled with swirling, iridescent poison. The vampire
stiffened as Silas placed them on the table one by one.
Silas: These three are for containment. It'll take effect once
the poison enters the bloodstream. So be careful you coat you
blades with these things. It won't kill 'em, but it will hurt
like hell. The last two vials are the antidote. Use it only if
you value your limbs.
The vampire nodded, trembling. Silas stood, adjusting his gloves
as he gets ready to leave. He walk over to the door but stops to
say a few last words.
Silas: Tell the Triplets that I accept their offer. I'll do what
I can to track this little lady down. And that they have my
regards. I wish them the best of luck. They'll need it.
With that, Silas stepped into the Sin City night, where the
lights were bright, the shadows deeper, and a powerful magic
killer waited somewhere in the dark. Silas Vetrik had a job to
do.
Present Night: 21:55 at Downtown Las Vegas
The past few weeks has been rough from dealing with the copycat
Ghost Killer to encountering that damn monster (Renato the
jaguar born werepire) which forced her to tap into her demon
side... again. The last time she nearly lost control like that,
the results weren't great. There's a reason why Danae made that
seal on her shoulder, to contain her demon side. But today was a
huge upset for Danae. For starters, she has spoken to some
spirits to get some info on the Witches of Salem. Turns out that
they fled a week after Danae set foot into Sin City. Annoyed,
Danae figured that it would be best to leave this cesspool for
her own sanity and to not endanger her friend. But then she was
given worse news. She was told that the Church of Demons are
being formed here in Sin City which is being led by Zarek
Kaelin, the son of Iblis. He even got some cambions joining such
as the Anti-Christ Damien Thorne, the son of Lucifer and
Valentino Batista, the son of Mammon. The Church of Demons are
gathering strong and dangerous allies which can threaten not
only the state, but the entire country if no one stops them.
Danae states that she'll stop them. Although she is warned that
she cannot do this alone, Danae ignores it. She needs to do this
alone. This is personal. Not to mention, she already failed
before to stop a cult in their tracks. She won't fail again.
And so that is why Danae plans on getting her final belongings
so she can leave Old Town and settle somewhere else for their
safety. Unfortunately for Danae, she sensed being followed.
Irritated, Danae's jaw tightened as she pivoted sharply into an
alleyway, boots crunching on broken glass. The neon behind her
flickered like a dying heartbeat. She then stopped in the
middle.
Danae: Come out. I'm not in the mood.
The Sabbat vampires emerged from the darkness like rats from a
sewer. Three of them, pale and hungry. Their smiles were too
confident.
Sabbat vampire: You have two options, sweetheart. Come with us
quietly, and no one gets hurt. Or you refuse and we're gonna
have to be a bit rough with ya.
Danae: Cute. How about this? You leave me alone and I won't make
you swallow the back rows of your teeth and blood.
Sabbat vampire: Heh. Don't say that we didn't warn ya.
Danae only rolled her eyes as she makes the first move. She
moved fast... faster than they expected. A burst of shadow magic
snap at the nearest vampire across the jaw, breaking it. A
roundhouse kick sent another into a dumpster. Her hands glowed
with darkness magic as she struck, her martial arts flowing with
supernatural precision. For a moment, she had the upper hand.
Then she felt a sharp and irritating pain that felt like a paper
cut. A dagger flashed in front of Danae before she was able to
barely dodge it, leading to the blade kissing her left arm.
Danae tries her best to block and parry the dagger attacks but
the vampire snuck in another slash at her upper right thigh.
Danae didn't think much of it as she continues fighting. She was
about to unleash another magic attack when she begin to gasp
sharply. Danae begin to feel her muscles tightened. She look at
the nicked marks which then begin to show a bit of green
coloring before it spreads, green vein marks showing on her skin
as she fights to breathe and to stay conscious. The paralysis
crept like frostbite and her magic sputtered when she tries to
fight back against it. What the hell kind of poison is this?!
Usually, her body is able to kick the poison out of her system.
This isn't just some regular poison. This is on a supernatural
scale. A poison meant to deal with people like her specifically.
Danae dropped to one knee with a pained grunt. She grit her
teeth in pain as she tries fighting the venom with sheer will.
The poison burned through her veins like molten stone. This
poison is the kind that works like a paralysis which also causes
pain. The Sabbat vampires laughed, delighted that the plan
actually worked.
Sabbat vampire 1: Perfect! This went better than expected! They
approached her, ready to drag her away.
Sabbat vampire 2: We warned you, witch girl. You just didn't
wanna listen. Now look at ya. Don't worry, the poison won't kill
you. But it'll suck for the next couple of hours.
Sabbat vampire 3: Hey, do you think that she's really... you
know...? Have ties with the devil? Usually witches have some
kind of pact with them.
Sabbat vampire 1: It's not our job to worry about that. We got
what we came for. Now come on before someone sees us.
Sabbat vampire: You worry too much. Who's gonna come save some
b!tch anyway?

As they get ready to go and grab Danae, Hei releases a grapple
line down and it wraps around the neck of one of the vampires.
As the vampire is pulled up by his neck, an audible crack of his
neck snapping could be heard before a sharp jolt of electricity
electrocuted the hung vampire.
Standing on one of the fire escape balconies was Hei, still
holding the vampire he electrocuted who was now dead like the
vampire was a symbol of Hei's wrath. Hei just holds the grapple
line with one hand, keeping the hung/electrocuted vampire up in
the air by his neck. Hei's white mask seemed to glow in a
sinister way in the moon light.
Hei: Three vs one and you still need poison to win? I can't
believe vampires could be such cowards. He says to the two
remaining vampires.

The vampire who asked who was gonna save Danae got that answer
real quick in the most brutal fashion possible. He didn't even
get a chance to gargle out a word before Hei killed him. The
other two vampires looked up in shock when they saw Hei murdered
one of their own.
Vampire 3: Who the hell is that?!
Vampire 1: Some freak in a cheap Halloween costume tryin' to
play hero for some two bit dame. Probably one of those damn
hunters with weird powers and a hypocritical moral compass! Grab
the witch doctor and run! I'll cover ya! turns to Hei Hey, pal!
This chick is no good! You don't even know who she is! So just
walk away before you end up getting hurt! Or worse...!
As the vampire tries to intimidate Hei and attack him with his
shadows, the other one tries to grab Danae so he can flee to the
shadows but struggles due to Danae's stubbornness.

Hei: Well... You're not the human traffickers I was looking for.
But I'll settle for taking more scum off the streets. He says in
response.
When the vampire goes to try and grab Danae, Hei vanishes in a
burst of Darkfire Sonido and appears in front of Danae and goes
to grab the vampire's wrist to electrocute him as well.
Hei: You guys realize I can hear, right? Not exactly a good plan
to let your enemy know what you're doing. He says to the
vampires after hearing the plan to grab Danae and run.

The vampire let out a pained scream when you electrocute him.
Vampire 3: Hey, what is your problem?! Are you one of those damn
superhuman punks we keep hearing about?! What do you mean that
you can hear us?!
Danae: You two weren't exactly whispering. A deaf person can
hear you morons scheme. She mutters sarcastically
The third vampire growled in annoyance toward Danae's insult as
he tries to use his vampire discipline to escape Hei's grasp
while the other one tries to attack Hei with his shadows again.
They also try to figure out what Hei really is species wise.

Hei lets go of the vampire as he tries to get away. Hei did
think he let slip about his enhanced senses at first, until
Danae chimed in and mentioned they weren't talking quietly.
Hei started to realize he'd started overanalyzing everything he
did lately.
Hei summons his two demon armor familiars, Veldstat and Fume
Knight to stand guard over Danae. The two familiars stand like a
protective wall. Veldstat stands his large bell staff on the
ground, which causes it to ring slightly, while Fume Knight puts
his large sword in the ground and holds his smaller sword over
his shoulder.
Hei: Why don't the two of you explain what you want with this
woman? Explain to me who you people are. Maybe I'll let you live
if you talk.

Vampire 1: Damn it, man. You're a vampire like us! This has
nothing to do with you! Why do you care about some witch broad
you know nothing about?!
Vampire 3: If you want some blood or more, there's plenty of
them in some alley corner. Just leave us be. This is Sabbat
stuff. Last thing you need is the Sabbat on your ass.
As the vampires talk, Danae is trying her best to fight against
the poison which seems to be too potent for any ordinary human,
let alone a witch. This shows that the poison is no ordinary
poison and Danae is strong, even though the poison is kicking
her ass at the moment.

Hei sighs.
Hei: I don't know if I should be relieved or annoyed that you
haven't figured out who I am. He says as he takes out a knife. I
have no problem taking out members of the Sabbat. Neither you
people and the Camarilla mean anything to me.
Hei does take note of the poison, and makes sure he's going to
be careful just in case they try to poison him. Normally he
would be highly resistant or immune to almost all poisons due to
his assassin training, but he wasn't going to push his luck if
it was strong enough to affect supernaturals.

Vampire 3: What, are we supposed to care? He ask sarcastically.
Vampire 1: Last chance, pal. Mind your business. It's not worth
throwing your life away over some blood bag with freaky swamp
witch doctor powers.
Danae grit her teeth in irritation at the insult and at the pain
she is in thanks to the poison. Swearing silently in Creole, she
tries to conjure some magic but can bend a shadow with her
magic. Her body language screaming to move and cause pain to her
assailants.

Hei: And exactly why are you after this woman? Maybe if you
explained why, I might hear what you have to say. He says to the
vampires sarcastically.
Hei: Don't worry. I'm not going to let them take you. I just
want to see if I can get information out of them before I kill
them. He says telepathically to Danae. He then looks over at
Danae as she tries to use her magic. Hei: Don't move. Whatever
that poison is, it's affecting you pretty hard. I can handle
these two, so don't worry. He says to Danae.
