Vladimir snorted at the vampire. So the guy dodged....and now he was flinging that weapon around blocking off his moves. That weapon had iron in it...he could feel it. Though...perhaps he could use that. Vladimir allowed himself to be driven backwards occasionally sending swipes and letting out frusterated growls. He was waiting for an opening. Something for him to act.

Then, Vlad got it. The guy ducked Low and swiped at his legs. In response vladimir leaped upwards and attempted to land on the shaft of the weapon in his more human state. Thick leather boots to protect from any iron in the shaft. With a smooth movement his own dagger was pulled from his boot and he looked at the guys visor. [color=lightgreen]"I'm rather attached to my head in afraid."[/color] if one shape doesn't work use a different one....that's a phrase somewhere. Probably.

Nimble. Impressive. As expected of such formidable prey. If the hybrid truly had been unable to fight back this would have gotten quite boring. Twisting the shaft of the weapon Blue attempted to knock Vlad off of it, even as he pulled it towards him in order to bring the blade itself to bear.

Vlad chuckled as the weapon moved under his feet. He followed with it for a moment before stepping off as it was pulled back. He straightened and tilted his head. [color=lightgreen]"You know....I think I figured you out a bit. You like to fight. You have a hunger for it."[/color] He moved to behind the guy. Vlad luckily had speed from that vampire half. [color=lightgreen]"I'm guessing other opponents bore you don't they."[/color] he had a habit of talking too much. He moved quickly and attempted to pull that helmet off of him.

Twisting towards Vlad, Blue attempted to swing, but at close range his long-reach weapon was at a disadvantage. Fortunately the Hybrid went for the helmet, soon finding that it was quite sturdily attached. But this gave blue an opportunity. He took a hold of Vlad's hand and twisted, making use of his hand-to-hand training to flip Vlad over his body and into the ground. With a twist of his left wrist he spun the entire glaive, and the silver blade shot along the ground towards Vlad's neck.

Vlad found the helmet was secure and then soon found himself getting flipped. Landing with an oof he silently cursed his ignorance of modern armor. He'd have to study that later. A huff escaped him as he heard that blade shooting toward his neck. With quick movements he managed to get free but not before that blade hit his side. A hiss escaped him and the smell of burning flesh and spider noises erupted into the air. The noises were slightly slower then expected and his flesh seemed burned for a few seconds longer then what would be expected. He turned and twirled the dagger in his hand.

Once more spinning into stance, Blue grinned beneath his visor. "What? No cocky comment this time around?" Stepping forward he raised the weapon over his head, ready to respond to even the slightest movement. With his weapon's superior reach there was no way he could lose this. Nevermore was truly a most astounding-

*BANG*

With a loud explosion of sound, the haft of Nevermore exploded into splinters. Blue stepped back, shocked, as he glanced around for his unknown enemy. The bladed top of the glaive dropped to the floor, now little more than a dysfunctional shortsword. Anger boiling through his veins Blue hissed something into his comms, and suddenly the surrounding vampires spread out as if looking for something. Blue himself moved away, standing where a house shielded him from the angle the bullet had come from.

"Purple! I'm getting sniper fire here. Aren't you supposed to have my back?"

The monotone voice of his partner came back at him. She sounded tired, hurt even. That was bad, Purple was no pushover. And she rarely emoted anything. "It's Tristan. He took my rifle. Tell the others he's gone rogue, I'm going after him."

Cursing, Blue turned back towards Vlad, now holding an unbelievably expensive stick. Not exactly the turn he had hoped this fight to take. "Well now. Seems I've got business to attend to. I don't suppose you'd be courteous enough to resume this later?"

Vladimir rolled his eyes and got ready to deal with the next swing and then....gunfire. He straightened and tilted his head as the weapon fell apart. [color=lightgreen]"Well...that's unexpected"[/color] he moved to the blade of the weapon and tapped it with his boot. Temption to grab it grew while the peanut gallery moved out. He looked up as the guy moved away. So it certainly was not planned then. He moved his head so his ear was toward where the guy was. He could hear part of the conversation. How interesting.

vlad let his gaze hit blue and chuckled. [color=lightgreen]"Most likely very soon considering I have some people to save. I'd recommend changing weapon types. That way you might actually kill me next time"[/color] he gave a two fingered salute before running off. His next plan to follow those trucks he saw a bit of earlier.

Although he had his own business to attend to, Blue gave one last glance at Vlad. That creature had been both faster and stronger than him. It was only through skill and superior armaments that he'd been able to press his advantage, and even then it had seemed like his opponent hadn't gone all out. If they did, even Blue wasn't sure he could've won that fight. The thought was just.... delicious.


Imagining the setting for the next match Blue ran up a nearby wall, flipping himself onto a roof. He took a gun and a combat knife from a nearby vamp, as two others grabbed what was left of his weapon. It'd be fixed later. For now, he had a hunt to carry out.
