Several of the bats flapped their wings angrily at the intruder, a small flock moved from their perch and headed for Radek, trying to scratch at his head and face with sharpened claws. It wouldn't last long though.
Still, the music was soft. A gentle violin, maybe? Still the acoustics in this place had it bouncing off every wall and pin pointing the actual source would prove too tedious as the area was large. Down the long corridor the young vampire would tread, ahead of him, dozens of red beady eyes came into view. Their glowing would illuminate only slightly within the darkened void.

Radek ignored the bats that were flapping their wings at him to tell him to go away. He soon moved his right arm to before his face to protect his eyes, if there was one thing he couldn't regenerate yet, it was new eyes. Once they were gone, he was able to discern the type of instrument, at least to what he thought as he moved his arm down. He continued down the long corridor, aware of the eyes as he made sure to put his staff to his side, showing he was no harm to anything there.

A small horde of ratlings ran right towards Radek, their eyes alive with color and bodies electrically changed. Some scurried along the walls, others mostly stuck to the floor. As they got closer, may jumped at the vampire, high pitched squeals sounding in their bloody rage. Dust filled the air and sparks of ionic blue would ignite around him. If he wasn't careful, that staff would be one lightning rod that would send him flying backwards.
Ratlings Rank: E-D Strength/Speed: 2/4 Description: By and far, the most common Rat Pack creature ever found. These things are about as large as a cat, and can use tiny sparks of whatever element it is that they will eventually grow into. Aside from their large size and elemental ability, these things are similar in appearance to normal baby rats. These Rat Pack Ratlings are generally found following Rat Pack Rats of whatever element they are aligned with, though they can be found on their own deep in forests and caves. These creatures only band together with the Ratlings of other elements when there is a Rat Momma nearby.
Ability: Elemental Genesis: Rank: E-D Description: This is the primary ability of Ratlings. Fire Ratlings can create s small gout of flame, an ability that they lose when they become full grown, Electric Ratlings can generate a small burst of static electricity around their body, Earth Ratlings can create a cloud of dust around their torso, Water Ratlings can squirt a thin stream of water from their mouths, and Wind Ratlings can temporarily render themselves invisible like their full grown brethren.

Radek soon heard the sounds of rat squeaks as he could see the eyes moving. He jumped back as quickly as he could, getting himself some distance before he spun his staff forward. He jabbed it into the ground and pole vaulted himself over the rat swarm, getting to the other side. As he landed, he charged energy into his staff and stabbed it into the ground as he was facing the back of the ratlings.

While the main body of the Ratlings were now in the same location of his previous one, they quickly turned, a wave of fur, dust, and electric flaring into the air. Though behind of him, was the leader, the Queen Mama Rat. She sent out several more, a dozen Ratlings whose bodies were that of the wind. Then, one, a large, dog-sized Fire rat stepped forth. It ran at Radek, body aflame and its claws extended to swipe at the young vampire. Teeth were gnashing together, angry and vicious. Fire Rat Rank: B Strength/Speed: 6/5 Description: This rat is the size of a Rottweiler hound, with fur that literally seems to be flames. The rat’s actual body size is unknown to all but those who have slain one, for the flames distort others’ perception of its body. This beast has no ranged attack, instead relying on its flaming body for combat – it strikes with a burning claw or tail, or bites with its fiery mouth. This Rat is also known as the Ghost Hunter – it actively seeks out Paranormals (Ghost Bloodline), for it feeds on the energies that they give off. The fires of the Fire Rat’s fur start burning a blueish green hue when they are close to a ghost.
Flame Strike Rank: B Description: The Fire Rat’s claws begin burning at an even hotter temperature than the rest of its body. This is painful for the Rat, but considering that the flames on its body normally are unbearable, this is quite dangerous to be struck by. It can cause harsh burns where it strikes.
Burning Body: Rank: Unranked Description: The fur of the Fire Rat is actual flames. This results in it being very hard to fight – blades get too hot to hold onto, and most arrows will burn up before they strike it. To combat this foe, energy based attacks are needed – water or earth techniques, as fire techniques will heal the Fire Rat, and wind techniques below S-rank will result in nothing. Water techniques do double damage. Bullets are unaffected by the fire rat’s fur when used by an Adept Gunslinger or higher.
Rat Momma Rank: C Strength/Speed: 3/3 Description: This is not a combative creature, and will rarely be seen by those who are not actively hunting them down. They are only found underground. They are large and white, looking like massive albino rats. They are as tall as a full grown man, and wide as a wagon. Their sole purpose is to give birth to Ratlings, which they do with disturbing frequency.
Ability:
Birth: Rank: Unranked Description: The Rat Momma gives birth to a Ratling. From the moment of birth, the Ratling is capable of using the Elemental Genesis of its element. (When Posting, Random Number Generate 1-5, each number ties in to a different Rat. 1 = Electric Rat, 2 = Water Rat, 3 = Earth Rat, 4 = Wind Rat, 5 = Fire Rat)
Command Rank: Unranked Description: The only defensive tactic that Rat Momma’s can use. This allows them to control Ratlings of the various elements and keep them together to provide defense. Around a Rat Momma, Ratlings will not try to run away from each other or fight each other, but instead work together to defend the Rat Momma.

Radek gritted his teeth as he looked to see the big mama rat summon up another windy hoard of rats before releasing a large fire rat. He had figured his staff wouldn't cut it and collapsed it into itself before placing it into its holster. He switched to his iron katana, seeing as how his greatsword would get caught midswing via the walls, and his most effective maneuver with the kodachis would get him a headache from crashing into the ceiling. As the rats all drew closer and closer to him, he'd thought he might as well end this current swarm to focus on big mama.
The moment it extended a claw to swing at Radek, he drew his katana out and held it out to his side. The claw would have been turned into mulch as he soon stated, "Ryu-Sou-Sen!(Dragon Double Slash(This is ironic because it states multiple, but not just two...))" Any rats near him at Katana blade length, would be turned into mush as he returned to sheathing the blade, ending his twist on the cutting barrier technique.

Radek would find that some of the Ratlings turned into sliced bits but the large fire Rat, it had no effect to it, instead his blade was hot, too hot for him to hold on to, the blade's edge grew blunt as the claw slashed it and warped the iron. The large beast smacked into some of its dead brethren and quickly slashed at the vampire with its fiery tail before turning to face the man again. The inferno continued to grow from its body, and it charged again, both claws this time extended towards Radek, both were charged with hotter ignition. It screamed, the heat almost unbearable for even it, in its frustration, the beady eyes blazed with hatred.

Radek jumped back after releasing his katana, his left leg getting struck by the burning tail. He landed on the injured leg and nearly fell to a knee before he pulled out another katana, spinning it as he backed away once more to avoid both the claws, this time using his Nightshade ability to create a mist of darkness to make it believe he had turned into ashes. He soon stabbed the katana into the ground as he released a burst of energy into the ground, making it explode to the flaming rat. "Do-Ryu-Sen!"

A high pitched scream roared through the air as he assaulted the fire rat. It thought the target had simply disappeared, then to only find its self shaken and blown back. It limply sunk to the floor, the flames gone. Now he still had the Mamma rat and six other Ratlings how shot electricity at the vamp.
Only after defeating them could he continue his journey towards the music.

Radek watched as the fire rat perished from his technique as he noticed the only rats remaining. He changed weapons back to his Iron staff, which extended quickly before he infused energy into it and thrusted it forward. A power line of his energy shot out towards the Momma rat before he dropped the staff and jumped back and away as the Staff acted like a lightning rod to absorb the lightning bolts. He soon switched to his Iron Katana before charging in with the clear way before him.

The elemental attacks had no luck, the mamma and ratlings scurrying away as he charged in to most likely slaughter them. This was not to say that there was not more...but they knew it was fight or flight; the latter seemed like a better option in this case. So they dashed back to their holes and hid from the vampire. This left the area clear and he could pass.
The corridor was still dark and dusty, the air a suffocating dry, like a desert gust. The walls crystallized with layers upon layers of aging particles. It was almost magical to view. Still, as he continued his slow descent into the unknown, the music would get louder. A harmonious melody like a bird in flight.

Radek noticed their escape before he leaned down and picked up his staff, retracting it, all after it had time to cool down and stop being electrified before he grabbed it. He had to lose his second Katana due to it's warped body as he ventured further down the corridor. The music had gotten louder the further he went, being sure not to disturb the particles on the walls or risk suffocation from it. He brought up his shirt over his nose and mouth so he could breathe sorta clearly.

As his descent continued, he could feel the air getting thicker, heavy, like being under water. So much so that it could make ears pop. He was getting closer to the central location, this unknown crypt, or room, something of the sort. Every step, the melody of music could be heard louder, a beautiful, soulful sound.
If he didn't do something soon though, he'd pass out before even getting to the chamber.

Radek continued down his descent, feeling his ears pop as he felt uneasy now. He almost felt like passing out, soon deciding to create a quick reaction, using Battoujutsu to try and cut the air and hit the wall hard enough. It would snap him out of his trance, but the sudden strike would light up the single part of the corridor due to the sparks of steel to the stone wall.

The wall would crumble and crack but no hole was left from his attack. Heavy air still clung to his lungs, making it more and more difficult to even continue, a thick heavy smog that even seemed to way down his mind. It was getting harder to think, to lift each eye lid to see, to swing his staff, even his footfalls were weighted. Still he was getting closer, the lullaby louder and closer than before. It seemed to seep from the mortar to his left, though the walls were too thick to try to cut through, perhaps if he had an earth element, it could be done, but he didn't have such.
