Alex leads the girls to a dirty bar near by.
Wink: Ever wonder how Alex can find the most disgusting bar withing a hundred miles?
Alex: It's a gift
The group goes into the bar.
Alex: I've been here before. If memory serves, not the nicest place, so stay close
Alex heads to a table. On the way there a man grabs Liz's arm.
?: Hey, how 'bout I buy you a drink?
Alex turned.
Alex: Get your hands the hell off her
?: Alex Cray? Is that you?
Alex looks at the guy.
Alex: Dave? It's been years!
Dave: Sit. What brings you back to Romania?
Wink and Liz make sure to sit as far from Dave as possible, Alex sits next to him.
Alex: Acually, we could use your help.

The three magi are now in Romania.
Liz: "So where do we start looking?"
Wink: "Transylvania. Once there we'll inspect Castle Dracula."
Alex: "Lets check out the local bar first."
Wink: "This is probably a dumb question but, why?"
Alex: "We may need some help, & the best kind for this type of mission is usually found at a bar or pub."
Wink: "I had to ask. Ok, lead the way oh fearless leader."

While everyone else is loading things onto the plane, Aoimitsu & Vix start talking.
Vix: "That sword, is that...?"
Aoimitsu: "The Blade Of Water? Yes it is. Given to me by my master Banryu Hojimura for surviving his training."
Vix: "I like. Its going to be fun having another ninja around for a change."
Aoimitsu: "Ditto here."
They both laugh & begin helping load the plane. Just as the plane gets fully loaded, a little boy comes running up.
????: "Snake Eyes! Blue Ninja! Wait up!"
Simon: "Hey Tommy! Whats up?"
Emily walks up to Kim.
Emily: "Who's the kid?"
Kim: "Thats lil Tommy Lamburt. He's the adopted younger brother for pretty much everyone at the guild."
Emily: "Doesn't he have a home to go to?"
Kim: "No. His parents were killed by vampires."
Emily turns away & feels her fangs.
Emily: *whispering to herself* "These things cause nothing but trouble."
Simon & Tommy are still talking.
Tommy: "I still don't see why I can't come with."

Simon: "Thats because you're still a kid. You'll understand when you grow up."
Tommy: "You always say that."
Simon: "& I'm always right. Go help out Serena & Walker in the garage. Thats an order."
Tommy: "Yes sir!"
The two exchange a secret handshake. Simon walks back to the group.
Simon: "Alrighty. Lets get this show on the road."
The group boards the plane & Simon takes the helm.
Simon: "Fasten yo seatbelts, cause this is gonna be bumpy."

OC: So now that I'm slightly more awake, I realised that my post really didn't make a lot of sence. Mainly because Liz/Alex/Wink don't know that the rest are hunting Mordred.... So, they are headed to Romainia. Just not joining the rest of the cast there.

OC: This stuff is harder than it looks...

IC: Kim walks in while Aoimitsu and Vix are sparring. She mutters something about this becoming a circus.

Kim: Simon, we need to leave.
Simon: Oh hey Kim, nice of you to join us.
Kim: Did you hear what I said? We need to leave, now.
Vix: Look babe, who made you leader here?
Kim: *ignoring Vix* Mordred is looking for something, he wants it bad. I'm assuming you don't want him to get it.
Vix: *getting seriously pissed at Kim now* How the hell would you know this? *turns to Simon* What's going on?
Simon: Calm down dammit, and lighten up Kim. Kim here has a sense for these things Vix, it's how she makes her living. Kim, you don't know what he's looking for?
Kim: No moron, I only know he's looking. Have I ever known what you're looking for?
Simon: No.
Kim: Well. *turns and starts loading things in to the plane*

OC: I'm still thinking of what to write next. But you guys continue!

OC: Don't worry about it. No harm done at all. Just felt that I should remind everybody.

OC: Sorry, my bad. It won't let me edit, so, oh well....

OC: The others are not in Romania yet. They are at HGHQ (Hunter's Guild Headquarters) at the moment. It sucks that you are sick. The post was good though.

OC: Sorry I haven't posted. I've been sick. So this will probably be crap, but I'll try.

IC: Liz has finished making her potions. She is packing the last of them into a bag. Alex and Wink came into the room.
Alex: Are you ready to go?
Liz: Yeah....
Alex: What?
Liz: I still can't get over the fact that a year ago, I hardly believed in magic, and now, I'm being hired by hell to go slay a vampire
Wink: Well, when you phrase it like that....
Liz: Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't trade this for the world. Sometimes I just can't believe it's all real.
Alex: Life's more fun when it come at you fast.
Alex creates a portal to join the rest in Romania.

Aoimitsu catches the kunai that Vix is practicing with.
Vix: "Nice catch. What clan are you?"
Aoimitsu: "Hojimura. You?"
Vix: "Thats for me to know & you to find out. Care to spar?"
Aoimitsu: "Gladly!"
Aoimitsu pulls out his katana & drops into a traditional kendo pose. Vix pulls out two sai & drops into a pose as well. The two ninja face off & begin sparring.

*morgaine restlessly puts down her book*
Morgaine: Are you sure that I won't lose my original powers once Mordred id killed? I've been like this for so long that I cannot imagine anything else.
Vix: Well, there's only one way to find out. You'll ave to kill the bastard. So quit your whining and perpare yourself for the battle that lays ahead.*continues in her practicing*

History: He was born a Lin Kuei, but he was separated from his family & clan during an attack by oni demons. He crawled through the snow to a bear cave, where a female bear took him to a fishing village at the bottom of the mountain. There he was adopted by a fisherman & his crew. He grew up to be a strong swimmer & fisherman. At twenty-one he was taken to the temple where he was born. There he discovered the truth of his past, as well as the secret art of cryomancing (mastery over the cold & ice). He bid farewell to his fisherman family & traveled throughout Asia learning different fighting techniques & perfecting his cryomancing art. He then came to Mount Fuji, where he spent the next several years learning the ways of the ninja with the Hojimura clan. They gave him the name Aoimitsu, & bestowed upon him the the Blade Of Water; a katana with a blade that glowed blue when unsheathed, & had the power to morph into water, ice, or vapor at the owner's will. His training complete, he left his new clan & became a hired assassin known throughout the world. He was then hired on by the Hunter's Guild for his skill in oni slaying. He remains an active member of the guild to this day.

Alex & Wink have woken up Liz & filled her in. The three magi are getting ready for their trip to Romania, & Ben, Zeig, & Kunga are already sailing to Port Demonica with Verka's body. Wink is helping Liz prepare by helping her make some potions & charms, while Alex puts on the Kundin-Ju (his ruby skull armor).
------------------------------------------------
Simon has shown everyone to the guest quarters. Kwai is meditating, Vix is practicing with a kunai, Morgaine is reading, & Emily is asleep. Simon has stepped outside to have a cigarette & reflect. Just then, a figure appears next to Simon in a puff of blue smoke.
Simon: "Wassup Aoimitsu?"
Aoimitsu: "Just got back from another oni hunt. You called for me?"
Simon: "Yes. I would like you to join me &...a few outsiders on a hunt."
Aoimitsu: "The target?"
Simon: "Mordred the vampire."
Aoimitsu: "I'm in. I've wanted to clash swords with another great swordsman for a while now."
Simon: "Great! *puts out cig* Come in, I'll introduce you to everybody."
Simon & Aoimitsu walk back into the room.
Simon: "Everybody, I'd like you to meet Aoimitsu, also known as Blue Ninja."
Aoimitsu: "Konichiwa. *bows*"

Its been four days since Gray Wolf took Shadow away for the birth. In that time Shawn & Frank have gone back to Sad Haven to see Gray Lizard. Shawn has spent three of those days doing nothing but drinking. He is now sleeping. Frank is sitting next to Gray Lizard who is outside on the sand praying.
Gray Lizard: "Oh great spirits, please put his mind at ease & heal his suffering."

OC: Amp, thank you for saving me! I in fact, had not killed him. You read my mind.

*Zenia walking down the street, suddenly she senses something and stops*

*Two mysterious characters appear*

Mystery Character #1: We finally caught up to you.
Zenia: Why the hell have you been following me?
Mystery Character #1: The deal was that you would be supervised until you get the job done, you should know that.
Zenia: *sigh* I know. I'm working on it.
Mystery Character #1: We know, there are rumors about you, we have heard of your deeds.
*Zenia looks away at the sky and her mind clouds*
Zenia: So...how...are...they? Am I allowed to know?
Mystery Character #1: *thinks for a minute* They are fine, for now. But from now on, we'll be keeping a close eye on you. The rest might not be able to see us, but we know you can sense us. Those are the orders.
*Zenia closes her fists*
Zenia: I don't have a choice, I know.
Mystery Character #1: Exactly. I'm glad you've finally accepted that there is no freedom for you. That is your destiny.
*Zenia glares at him*
*Mystery Charecter #2 only stares at her but doesn't say a word and Zenia turns to look at him*
Zenia: Why are you here? They could've send someone else.
Mystery Character #2: They were, but I voluntered to come. You know you can't get away from me. I'll follow you where ever you might go.
Zenia: You and I are nothing, we never were and we never will be. I hate you and you know it.
Mystery Character #2: I don't care. Even if the orders are not interfere unless absolutely nessesary, I'll kill any men who tries to get close to you.
Zenia: You are insane. If you ruin my mission, I will kill you.

---------------------------------

Vix: What the hell is her problem?!
Simon: Just let her be Vix, she'll come around.
Vix: I don't know, it seems to me we have some tough days ahead of us, and this wont help one bit. She's not that easy to deal with if you ask me...

---------------------------------
*Kim is outside leaning on wall and she has listened to the conversation. She stands up and walks away*

OC: You're the boss!

OC; further down the line HL, keep'em seperate for now

Kwai: So, Kim, seeing as we're going to all be in this little mission together maybe we should get to know each other a little.
Simon: Ah...
Kim: Look monk, my past is my own business. All you need to know is that I've been hired to help you and that you'll regret it if pry into my business.
Simon: Kim, loosen up. He doesn't know...
Kim: Well now he does.
Vix: Now hold on a fricking minute here, there's no need to get all high horse about this.
Kim: I'm not. I like to be left alone. Do that and we won't have any problems.
Vix: Where the hell...
Simon: Alright now girls let's keep this friendly...
*Kim and Vix snort*
Simon: *giving them both shut-up looks* I say we turn in. We'll leave at dawn.
Kim: Fine by me. *walks off*

OC: I want to blend the stories together here but I'm not sure if that's what you were aiming for amp...

a dark (as in shadow-type person not black) approahces wink, alex and zenia
*shadowy man*: Alexander, Wink I reccommend not pursuing this line of inquiry, the buisness of this one is not your to interfer in
Zenia: *already out the door and on the move*
Alex: YOU BASTARD! YOU LET HER GET AWAY!
*shadowy man*: barkeep a private room and 12 mugs of your strongest brew
*the man heards alex and wink in to the backroom*
*shadowy man*: now siddown, shutup and have a drink
Alex: *opens mouth to speak but is silenced by a look from the shadowy man*
*shadowy man*: My name is Krenault and I am an emissary of hell...
Wink*opens mouth to say something*
Krenault: which part of shut up are you both misunderstanding?
Krenault: The demon companion of yours was not killed by Zenia
Alex: who is she?
Krenault: I don't know but the strongest non-interfance orders have been put on her by both heaven and hell
Krenault: Your companion was killed by a minion of the Vampire Mordred
Wink: last I heard he was in direct contract with hell so why are you telling us this?
Krenault: because hell wants him dead
Alex: why?
Krenault: As part of his deal he was given immense knowledge of vampiric, not natural vampiric but demonic vampiric history. He was also given some powerful artifacts. In his research he found information about the two most powerful vampiric artifacts on earth. The sword of the impaler and the blood of vlad.
Wink*gasps*: relics of the count Dracula, also called Vlad the Impaler...
Krenault: yes, with these artifacts he would be powerful enough to challenge hell and The Dark One will not have such rebellion from his slaves
Alex: why doesn't he smite him, himself?
Krenault: currently demons beyond permanent residents like your companion are not allowed to slay on earth. It's part of a new treaty we're trying with heaven
Wink: so your hiring us...
Alex: for what in return?
Krenault: Gold spark your fancy?
Alex: why yes, yes it does indeed...
*Krenault stands to leave*
Wink: from where would this gold come from?
Krenault*a vicious grin on his face*: where do you think the lost gold of nazi germany went?
*at that he leaves*

Simon walks over to a wall with a keypad on it. He puts in 9987452-SE, & he puts his face against an eye scanner. The wall slides open & a computer voice says "Welcome Snake Eyes".
Kim: *scoffs* "Ego much?!"
Simon: "Hey, I'm one of the top hunters in the world. I deserve a little respect every now & again."
Kim & Vix In Unision: "Whatever!"
The two exchange understanding glances. Simon begins filling his quiver with custom made arrows from his secret room.
------------------------------------------------
Zenia: "My name is Zenia."
Wink: "So you are who the guys talked about!"
Alex: "Ok, who the hell are you, & what the hell do you know?!"
