Jack nodded, and slowed down to a jog so Garret and Rethan could keep up...

Jack: Quarra Clan it is then.

They arrive in the front entrance and as Jack opens the door he begins to fade away(Chameleon)...

Jack(whisper): I have great Illusions skills...hehe. I will go to the left. Rethan you go to the right, Garret you go down the middle. We will meet in the main room to destroy the remaining vampires and the leader.

Now Jack had become completely invisible. Jack was creeping through the halls of the disgusting cave. Jack sees a vampire near by. Jack sneaks up and and quietly takes out his Katana...it burst in a silent black fire. Jack slashed at the neck of the Vampire extremely fast and then a reverse slash to the hip. The upper body of the Vampire had been desintagrated (spelling?). Jack coninues on and open a door. There are 5 Vampires in the room. Jack dispells his Chameoleon and is now visible he pulls out five throwing knives that begin to glow and let off a creeping, evil, black flame. Jack throws them and the all go straight through the Vampires hearts and they fall to the floor...lifeless.

After a few more Vampire slaughters Jack arrives in front of the main door to the leader he waits for Garret and Rethan.

Rethan says "no can do man, I thought up a plan." He sees jack go inside and places a statchel pack on a tower nearby and stands on the other side of the ruin. He gets around to the front of the building near the door and climbs up the main tower. He detonates the explosives and the tower falls over.

Several vampires run out from the wreckage and Rethan fires a barrage of arrows at them, taking out half of the squad. He jumps down from the tower and charges at them with his double katana.

*Secronia smirks raising both arms out at the sides, his armour cocoons itself in a clear hardened turtle shell*

"oh Blackheart don't be like that...Dagon is alive isn't he, I only marooned him in Sicron, he did the rest to himself, summoning Daemons...pfft"

*a wide evil grin spreads across his lips, he scans Ald'Ruhn*

"where is the old evil nut anyway, I must talk with him and you...four years have passed, ShadowJ's mental defence has weakened meaning I now have complete control over him...you know what that means...yes, if we join forces, Neomorrowind will be ours or destroyed, either way...I have control over the shadow and wolf army, with the assistance of the vampire army, there will be no way of stopping us, wave after wave of destruction bombarding those pathetic fools who dare step in our way"

*he cackles evilly knowing the question about ShadowJ will pop up*

"oh before you even ask about ShadowJ...no there is no way of him interfering, not even his precious Isabel can help him...no one can, so neomorrowind is for the taking"

Jack hears an explosion in the entrance to the Vampire Stronghold...

Jack: Forget it. I am just going to kill the leader now.

Jack burst through the door, with his Katana out and up in flames. There are about 12 Vampires in here, and Jack merely grins at them...

Jack: Come on you filthy bastards.

Jack runs up to a group of three and in a matter of seconds turn them into ash. He spots five more Vampires to the left of him. He charges at them. They all pull out Daedric Longswords. Jack grins, he lets the fire die down on his Katana and Jack cuts through all there Daedric Longswords like butter. Then Jack cuts up the Vampires like butter.

Jack: This is boring.

Jack turns around to the remaining Vampires. Jack slashes upward and sends a wave of fire towards the remaining Vampires, killing them all. Jack runs out of there as fast as he can and sits down waiting for Rathen and Garret to finish.

Garret was still outside the Vampire base. Jack had run inside with his own plan, while Rethan had blown up the tower of the base. Garret wondered if Jack would be able to get out all right, if the explosion might trap him in there. But Garret had more to worry about, the vampires were attacking Rethan.

Garret reached down to the Earth. A runic symbol carved itself in black on his hand. This was new, Garret had not expereinced this spell before. Green mana usurped out of the ground and into his hand, through the rune, into his body. As he began to glow green, the patch of ground he absorbed from wilted and died.

Garret looked to his other hand, the same sign. Earth had given him a new talent during their last communing atop that building. Garret began to move his hands as though he were shaping a fire ball. Rather then a red ball forming, a green orb began to form, but it was coming out of his chest, rather then just appearing.

Rethan seemed to take the hint. He moved so to not be in the way of the orb. Garret launched it off, to the flank of the vampire squad. They saw it too late. They tried to hold their arms up, to block it, but the orb was not stopped. It hit them, and continued on...

All of the vampires remained upright. Not one fell to his spell. The ball hit a tree, which absorbed the blast and grew at least 3 feet taller. The vampires laughed at Garret's attempt, and moved to attack him. Garret held up his hands to cast another orb, but as he did, the vampires began to glow green. They slowly decayed, as Garret began to glow green.

The vamps were mulch by the time they got to Garret. He used the extra energy to make another Life Orb and cast it at the dead grass patch. A half dozen Golden Kanet bushes grew where it landed.

"That was... new. Rethan, is Jack safe in there? Should we try to get him out?"

Jack gets up and realizes...

Jack (thinking): I am in the back entrance...Garret and Rethan think I am still in there.

Jack runs around to the front and sees Garret and Rathen and grins...

Jack: Hey, I took care of the leader and everything else in there. I am ready to atack the next base if thats alright wih you two. Rethan...You got to chill with those explosions man. You use them too much. Just messing around.

"Damn thats cold man, leaving me behind", said Chaos from behind a big rock. "So now what party are we gonna get started now ? the other clan ?". Chaos took out Hopesfire and started cleaning it wiping the black ooze away. "So are we gonna travel in a smaller vehicle than Fantasty Island ?", asked Chaos still cleaning the blade.

"Nah, man im not ready for this yet. Besides, we violated a team mates rights to hunt. We forgot to wait for Chaos. But anyway, sit tight." Rethan cast a recall spell and teleported to the ministry of truth (rebuilt) and he got the share of money for him and his team mates for the destruction of many vampires.

He used his amulet of gods speed and got back to Jack and Garret. "Here is your pay, 5,000 septims for each dead vampire. As for Chaos' pay, I'll hold on to it until he finds us. Judging by that freaking cloud of smoke and bright fire, I think it won't take him long." He gives everyone their share and waits for Ryu to come out from behind his little rock and take his money.

This message was edited by Phantom 988 on Dec 13 2003.

"Well, Secronia... I will let you live for now. I owe you that much, considering our past... I will consult with my master as for what to do with you. If you are lucky, perhaps he will allow you to serve him. Come, we shall return to my fortress..."

Garret looked into the bag Rethan had handed him. Inside was a large number of septims. Garret retied the bag, and threw it to Rethan's feet.

"You are the one doing this for the money. My, share, of your ill gotten gold can be yours Rethan. I'm not in it for the money."

Garret climbed up onto a large boulder. He went into his meditative position. Finger's rooting into the stone.

"Wake me when we go again. Don't worry, don't wait for me to finish. Whenever you all are ready to leave, wake me."

Garret left the plane of humans to talk with Nature.

*Secronia grins evilly and nods< I can't believe you think I will serve Dagon, Blackheart you're as foolish as you were many years ago...you forgot our little saying "demolish the competition before they demolish you"...well that's exactly what I'm doing> as he speaks to himself in his mind he gives a little evil snicker*

"so...you serve the "almighty" Dagon...what's it like?"

"Well, I'm not just in this for the money. They just happen to pay you for every vampire you kill. I just take money when I can get it." He divides Garrets share into everyone's bags. "Well, I'm ready to go, but I think I should make some more statchel packs. As for you guys, it's up to you if you wanna keep your share. That can practicaly buy you, like, 3 houses!" He pulls his ingredients and alchemical suplies out.

Jack looks at the bg of money wide-eyed...

Jack: This is sweet I am getting paid for having fun. Well, I guess I am helping people too. Think of all the Flin I could buy.

Jack (thinking): I have to repair my Katana. Those Daedric Longswords scrathed it a little and chipped a little peice off.

Jack: I'll be back.

Jack sprints toward Dagon Fel. He goes through some Forest and Ahslands and soon arrives in Dagon Fel. He heads to the Smith...

Jack:I need my Katana repaired.
Smith: No problem.

The Smith takes the Katana and looks at it for a while...

Smith:This is a beautiful Katana. Sharp too, real sharp.
Jack: Thanks.

The Smith goes to the back and returns about 15 minutes later.

Smith: That will be 15K. The reason it is so expensive is because well this sword is worth about 600,000K.

Jack hands over 16K's and heads back to where Garret, and Rethan were. He arrives within minutes and waits for Ryu/Chaos to arrive...

Rethan is sitting near a fire fixing up his weapons. Near him are about 25 statchel packs. Rethan smirks at Jack. "I think we got enough. My saying is, BLOW CRAP UP!!! With all these exlposives, that shouldn't be hard. But we still need to bomb this place." Rethan goes in to the ruins.

5 minutes later he comes out with a cord following him and a few scratch marks on his face. "Damn that stupid kajit. He'd think that I wouldn't want to hurt him. Bound and gagged him good. Okay, we need to clear this area. It's gonna be a big boom, enviromentally safe too." He walks towards a rock and hides behind it to see Ryu.

"Heres your money man, and umm, you might wanna cover your ears." He gives Ryu his money and waits for everyone to take cover.

As the long night continued, the dreams still prolonged...

Xaos was in an odd world, one of happiness. He looked around. Green leaves and plants, and a warm golden sun gleaming across his face. He was young, about 15 it seemed. He was in Vivec, before the chaos began. He standing atop a canton watching the beautiful sun rise over the horizon. He looked over to see a girl next to him... a familiar face, without a name. She was watching the sun as well. It was utter silence, nothing but the faint noise of a breeze could be heard... then she spoke.

'I know of what you dream, for the same things have been haunting me, sadly those dreams are based in reality, they will come to pass...I want to see you again, I need to give you something, and I need to explain many more things.'

Xaos was watching the horizon, as she spoke. As he turned back to look at her, she was gone. All that was left was a dagger, laying on the ground...

Xaos knelt down and slowly lifted it up. It seemed weightless, and had a bright aqua color to it. It was obviously fairly well taken care of. There was an enscription on it. An all to familiar one at that.

"...Beware, one shall see a traitor come and go..."

Xaos dropped the blade, as it clattered to the ground, his mind screeched to hault. He woke up once more. Shaking and and cold. he couldn't take it anymore.

He knew what he had to do...

Xaos stood up, walking out of the large room, and up to the large doorway that lead to the corridors. He clicked open the lock, making a faint echo clatter off into the long, dark halls. He quikly darted across the hall, fromt he door to the other side of the corridor... slowly peeking around the corner to check if anyone was roaming the corridors. It was dark, almost black, but the dim lit torches every 10 or 15 feet helped light the way. The halls were silenced... it was very early, a couple past midnight he supposed. He ran down one hall, being sure to watch for anyone else out and about. Eventually reaching a room, that had been locked for years. He quickly shook it, but it wouldn't budge... he looked up, seeing the dim torch flicker, and then looked at the pin holding it in the holder against the wall. He carefully slipped the torch off the wall, and slid the pin out from the steel holder taht had been bolted to the rock wall. He took the pin, and held it againt the wall, smashing it into a curve, then slowly slid it into the keyhole. Messing with the inside, eventually the lock clicked, and opened. He slid the lock off the hinge, and dropped it to the ground.

Xaos entered the old, musty room. It had cobwebs drouping to the ground, and and the air had a funny, old scent to it. He waved the torch around, searching through the rubble and mess. He swiped an old book off the top of a dusty chest, and opened it up. He opened it to the bookmarked section, about mid way through it. He looked at the page, it was dusty and covered in dirt, so he blew hard on it, wisping the dust off of it, erasing the dirtiness. He read the writings slowly...

"November 9th,

Logins-

...

-Xaos Hlaalu- Page 35 for further references."

Xaos paused for a moment, flipping through the pages. He skimmed the corners of the pages... watching the digits count down, from nearly 324, down to 35.

He wiping the dust off, revealing accounts of possessions and detailed descriptions that had been locked away until later needed.

"Xaos Hlaalu,

Locked Items,
Name of Item(Description)

-Special Operations Clothing(A black, versatile clothing, used by rogues, assassins, and hunters.)

-Boots(Black, fairly new, made for rugged, outdoor uses)

-Scroll(A fairly important looking document, left sealed due to privacy policies)

-Unidentified Longsword(A long, silver sword, with red spiraled encryptions carved within the blade. Locked before any accounts could identify the origins of the weapon. All other details remain unknown.)

-Necklace(A red, and black colored jewel.)
-Note: Item was reclaimed before lock down"

Xaos had found the book that held all the locked away items obtained during his returning to Bloodmoon. The page went on to tell the secret locations of his long lost treasures.

"Location: Cellar, 2nd Floor, Treasury #35"

Xaos paused for a moment, trying to remember where that number had came from before, it was within his dream. Obviously there wasn't any killers this time. he would have to move fast before anyone wakes up and gets suspicious of what he was doing. Xaos slowly closed the book, and climbed over all the junk in the way, rolling out into the hall. he then slowly closed the door, and locked it back, slipping the tiny pin he used before into the small pocket on his robe, he darted down the hallway, and was headed for the cellars. His dagger was swinging back and forth on his loose belt, and his hair fluttered as he pattered down the halls, he would have to hurry.
