Welcome to Gaia! ::

Krii'Ouse realised what was happening. Astaroth... he recalled that name from his own imprisonment. The daemons would often talk about him, and said things about Krii'Ouse paying for his family's deed. This was Astaroth, the one they were trying to find to punish Krii'Ouse.

Astaroth... the Lord of Vanity. Krii'Ouse's mind snapped back to normal. 'You tried to make me attack you by means of your vanity! You b*****d!' he said just before he smacked Neko.

'What's your problem, idiot?!' he yelled. He began to push forward again. 'Neko, don't make me hold back... I gotta do my gentlemanly duty!'

Astaroth was caught off guard by the first few slaps. At the last slap, he caught her arm, and caught her fist from the punch. He ejected his claws from his first hand, having dropped the sword into a levitating state, and started to put pressure on her hand. He dug his claw into her skin, retracting blood.

'I will call any who are younger than me youngling. I don't give a damn who from Hell you were born from, who who out of Hell you are. No youngling will command me. I am Astaroth! General of Hell! I don't care if my daemons left me, they're deserters! I still have a following. His mind shows it to me! They captured him and tried to find me!' he spoke loudly, yelling at points. He pointed to Krii'Ouse when mentioning the human's past.

'Don't DARE defy the will of the Ancient! I don't give a damn who from Hell's origins you command! I AM ASTAROTH! ALL WILL FEAR ME WHO HEAR MY NAME! Asmodai, Mephisto, Beelzebub, Ba'al; they all FEARED ME!!! You wil fear me, too!' He let go of her fist, and tore his claws across her skin, making larger marks. He grabbed his blade, and lifted it again.

'You would do well to get out of my way now...'

Instantly following Will's instructions and scanned around for clues as to the whereabouts of the vampires that murdered Jaffar. Teary eyes made it difficult for Amber to see, but she wiped them away with her sleeve in hopes of seeing better. Much to her diappointment, more tears kept coming.

Suddenly she saw some droplets of blood, they lead out of the alleyway, possibly across the street. It appeared that the Humvees had driven over some of the trail. Amber heard Will's call and swifly jumped up and started flailing are arm around recklessly. "Hey Will, I think I've got another possible trail over here..."

This was partially good, and partially bad- good because she had found a possible trail- and bad because the vampires had possibly split up. Which might force their group to split up, and if they did, the more likely someone would get hurt.

Aiden arrived at the scene mere minutes after the Humvees had. He observed Amber shouting that she had found a trail. He swiftly yet dully apologized to Will, "I'm sorry, I was following your trail and found that you had rechanged your direction to come here. I'm here now." Aiden had his knuckle claws strapped over his knuckles, ready to whip up and slash anything that got in his way.

Quickly reading Will's mind, Aiden discovered that he was to track the vampires down with his advanced senses and skills. Not really caring if Will wondered how he had known, Aiden said, "I shall follow a trail, but it seems Amber had discovered another." He looked over at Krii'Ouse who had rushed off in pursuit of the other trail, then looked back to Will and suggested in a somewhat mocking tone, "I guess I'll follow the second trail. It's best to cover both trails as swiftly as possible." His yellow eyes gazed emotionlessly at Will, waiting for his command.

Bridget and Sanchez stood there ready to go with Will's plan of action wether it be staying together or separate. Each one had an advantage and
each a disadvantage.... it was the better of the two evils.
While they waited for Will wanted to play it Bridget went over her Japanese 7.2mm type 64 and her ammo; as did Sanchez with his Swedish
5.56mm 890c FFV assault rifle.
More people showed up and it looked like there wouldn't be to much sneaking up on the enemy if found. Still the one vampire that was a Hunter bothered Bridget....she chalked it off to her natural hatered of them...If Will said he was ok then she would listen for now

Reno examined the blood for a while, he gentally put his fingures in it letting it slowly run off his fingures."Hmm......looks like its been here for about two to three hours. With all the blood every were Jaffar could have been running from these things for god knows how long. Thats just great, this is going to make finding those bastards a hell of alot more difficult." Reno started to follow the trail of blood."Hmm maybe if I can find were the trail first started we could get a better idea of who attacked him."

Reno followed the blood trail straying from the group. He found some blood that had already hardened into the ground."Hmm, this pool of blood seams older than the rest." Reno took out his radio."Hey everybody I think I found were Jaffar was first attacked. Its by an old store about a half mile from were we found the first blood stains. I will investigate further. Over." Reno clicked his radio.

Integra had wandered off from the humvees to follow Will's advice. Initiatially, she kept an eye on the fellow hunters, but soon she was absorbed in the amount of blood. There had been one heck of a fight here, and Integra realized for the first time why there were so many hunters here; the numbers of the hunted were enormous in proportion to what she was used to.

The young silver-haired woman quickly jogged towards a figure she vaguely recognized and believed she had heard his name earlier somewhere. Reno? She would have greeted him by his name, but if she had it wrong it would be an embarrassment. She stopped in front of the old store, a few feet away from Reno. "Mind if I join you?"

Astaroth's face scrunched in anger. 'I fear nothing. As you can see, I wear no boots. Therefore, no trembling. I will not be subjugated by a youngling of Oni blood!' Astaroth refused. He took a step forward, and snarled draconically. 'I follow no one's example. I lead, not follow. Why would any Ancient One fear such a young Oni like you? Are they mad?!'

He stepped forward again, almost forcing Neko to step back. 'Who from Hell do you even mean?! Any of the Ancient Ones I recall would have to have fallen from their throne to follow you!' he said, waving his hand around disrespectfully, then flipping it out to the side.
