Casimir, not caring what might happen...
Had attempted to fix the room Morana and #23 fought in up to the point where too many questions would be asked. "That was truly something else, y'know?" He said, trying to wipe off the remaining blood that had dried up on her. "For some reason, none of that scared me. I mean, it should've..." He continued to ramble to himself and failed to notice that Morana was recovering. Remembering most of what she had done, she sprung up, bumping heads with Casimir. "Wh-where am I!?" She asked, ignoring the fact that she almost knocked Casimir out. He answered, also trying his best to ignore the pain. "You're-ow ow ow-a few rooms down from where fought that number dude." Rubbing his forehead he sat down next to Morana, and tried to relax a little. "So what was that all about? That whole, weird transformation thingie." Staring off into space for a few, lost in her thoughts, she responded a few seconds later. "Hm? Oh...that..." She looked at her clothes and skin, even her hair, and sighed. "You wouldn't believe me, not in a million years." Now sitting, facing her, he waited for her to explain. "I suppose it wouldn't matter...but here goes..." She pinched the bridge of her nose, let out another sigh, and began from the beinning. "Me and my mother...Valdis...we're..."

-Back with Matt-

"Oh man, it feels good to be outta there. I knew I shoulda slept on the table, but no, let's try something new...feh! Best part about this is that I'm free." Stretching his arms out, he let out a long yawn, and continued walking farther from Jessica's house. "Then again, I might miss the company, a little, Carmen and-" He stopped and looked around, as if he were being watched. Chuckling to himself, he went on. "Hahaaa, paranoia..." Not familiar with his surroundings, he began to slow down. "I don't remember downtown being this way." As he wondered what was going on, something enclosed the area, like a small dome. Not realizing the danger, he began to walk faster, almost jogging, but was stopped by the barrier. "Ugh, what the hell is this?!" "Look out!" Instinctively, he moved just in time, as a women cloaked in black, had dove for him, with what appeared to be claws. Forgetting the warning, he turned his attention to woman who had attacked. "Come on lady, I JUST woke up, I don't need this." He said, and ignoring the fact that she had attacked him, he walked off in the opposite direction. He was stopped again, by a man this time, who was swinging around a mace. With a sigh, Matt gotten ready for what was coming. "Well, there goes my day..."

"#20, let me to kill him...slowly!" The man with the mace, backed up and withdrew his weapon. "Take your time, #19." Before #19 had a chance to strike, she was interrupted by the one who had called out to Matt. "I knew I recognized that voice! Carmen, what are you doing here?!" With her claws extended, and fangs bared, Carmen's focus was on #19, and that alone. Realizing that his answer would have to wait, Matt broke into a dash and went straight after #20. "It looks like I get to get my hands dirty after!" #20 said as he threw his mace at Matt. "It extends! Damn!" Matt barely crouched and leaned back simultaneously, sliding right under the mace, and grabbed it. Smiling, #20 flicked the mace with all his might, and sent the chain, along with Matt high into the air. Soaring higher and higher, he felt the tension of the chain getting tighter and tighter. If I time this right I can... Not knowing what his opponent had planned, #20 attempted to flick the mace in the other direction, and slamming Matt from high up. Seeing this ahead of time, Matt was ready and pulled with full force and a had drawn #20 off the ground. "Impossible! You shouldn't be able to-" But he was too late. He being assaulted by a barrage of punches and kicks, and was forced to try and defend against it. Seeing his chance and running out of time, Matt grabbed #20 by the arms and put him on his shoulders. Holding on as tight as he could, he landed on the ground, hard, and let go of #20. His plan gone awry, and as a consequence of underestimating his opponent, he dropped to the ground...limp. Exhausted from his assault and landing, he too dropped to the ground to recover somewhat.

"#20!!" #19 shrieked, with a look of horror on her face. Her eye twitching, and face red with fury, she charged at Matt, attempting to get by ignore Carmen...for now. "I'm going to shred your very soul into ribbons!" Not being someone that likes to be ignored in any situation, Carmen went straight for #19, and clothes-lined her. Her fury subsided as she clutched her throat, and her attention went back to Carmen. Shaking violently, she approached her with extreme aggresion and slashed non-stop at her. Putting her power to the test, Carmen countered each of #19's claw attacks with her own until she tired herself out. Her recklessness being her downfall, #19 began to attack of desperation, but it was all in vain. Carmen got past the claws, to #19's surprise, and punched her in the stomache. Stopping in the middle of her attack, she slumped to ground, and dropped her claws.

Having recovered to the point where he could walk, Matt approached Carmen as quickly as he could. "What the hell were you thinking following me around like that!? You could've gotten yourself killed! You have no idea-" He was cut off by Carmen, who had turned to hug him, and whispered, "I was worried..." Acting like he hadn't heard her correctly, he looked at her in weird way. "Excuse me?" Things quickly got back to normal, or as normal it can get, and laughed. "Nothing, now let me finish up and let's go back." "Yeah, I was meaning to ask you...Since you're a vampire or whatever, why'd you spare-" He was again cut off by Carmen, with #19 in her arms, helpless and barely able to move, leaning back with her neck exposed. "C-Carmen, why?!" "I'm hungry..." She said with a smile, and glared at #19's neck. Still suffering from having the wind knocked out of her, she unable to even scream in anticipation. Her eyes teared up as she saw Carmen fangs come down...
