((Listen to this while reading:
The fog was dissipating. But it didn't matter. This would be Johnathan's last chance. His right hand shot forward, grabbing the advancing arm by the wrist. With his full strength he then flung Magnus into the mist, where he would crash into the ground. Using the time this maneauver had bought him, he ran over to the corpses of the SOLDIERS. None of them could be saved, of course, and even if they could they would be useless in this battle. Instead, Johnathan grabbed two belts of grenades, as he ripped the pin out of one of them. He had ten seconds before it would explode. Magnus' footsteps could be heard as he ran out from the DIvine Vapour, and he turned, laughing. "Lord preserve my soul, for I sin now. However, I shall have company as I burn!" He lunges forward, allowing Magnus to stick his claws in deep, accepting the pain, for it signified his life. For a moment, he could smell the daisies he had loved so as a child. He could remember his mother's face, an image his duty had wiped from his mind. As the blades ripped into his innards, the Crusader wept bitter tears, The feeling of sunlight on his skin as he'd played. In the last moments of his life, the Crusader was blessed, for he was granted a moment without the curse of vampirism. Then, the world went white, as the holy warrior went to Heaven.
((Now turn off the song. Also, feedback would be appreciated as to whether this death was epic or not.))
Jack smiled, as he observed the situation from three monitors. In his mind, countless gears were whirring, as he analysed the combat. No tactics, no form. The SOLDIER army was dispersed and disorganized. They were unmanned as well. The only reason they hadn't been massacred was because of the Divine Fog. The vampires had rushed into it as one, and that had been their downfall. Tactical mistakes were rampant, and they caused the bloodbath. In the end, however, this was undeniably a victory for SOLDIER, against superior odds no less. The idea of turning Holy Water into vapour was quite inspired, the Crusader must not be the brute he was made out to be to have invented something so creative. However, this all was secondary to the main goal of his analysis. The conditions were, as he had suspected, ideal for testing.
"Contingency check."
"Neural waves are stable. Equipment is undamaged. Ready for launch, sir."
This was the moment Jack had waited for. He had created the girl, Lambda. She was his daughter, his magnum opus. He had sliced her open and explored her insides, he'd placed tubes and machines inside of her. He knew every inch of her flesh and mind alike, and had complete control over both. He'd placed backup upon backup, and despite his setbacks, he had succeeded. A fully functional cyborg, utilising vampire cells to bind man to machine. Superior speed, agility, and some of his very own repulsorlift technology, allowing for limited height hovering. She was the perfect child, armed and deadly. "Launch Lambda." He smiled, as he entered the activation code, and the gears of the machinery around him were set in motion. "go make daddy proud!"
Her name was the Ellysia Star. Few knew she was named after the first woman Jack had cut open, Ellyisia. Floating above the ground, the mass of steel slowly moved towards it's destination of Kilo Point. It's cannons were heavily armed, fully manned with almost eighty men. She had first flown three months ago, and this would be her first time entering contested territory. Her sides were newly painted, her name displayed with pride, and the repulsorlift engines that kept her up glowed bright blue.The battleship glided steadily, men hurrying through the polished steel corridors. The world's first mobile combat base, all terrain and capable of opening heavy weaponfire upon an nearby opponent. The Ellysia Star was a work of beauty as much as she was a machine of war.
The Launch Cannon on her back moved upwards. The coordinates were set, checked, and finalized. The movement of the cannon was automized, of course, programmed with the utmost care. It's load was placed, the capsule crafted to withstand both the launch and the impact. Slowly, power was built up as the magnets on either side of the cannon were made ready. Then, with the press of a button, she fired, launching a heavy metal orb high into the air. Through the air it flew, moving at incredible speeds. Within, the greatest weapon made by man. With a massive thud, the capsule landed at the grounds near Kilo Point. It opened, breaking like a shell, as Lambda was revealed to the world, activated and ready for battle. Her orders were simply to exterminate.
