The Final Phase is coming soon
Phase 31
The First Order




The wooden balcony stood well above the sanctuary, where Alex stood looking up at Malkav.
“Malkav, the one I have been searching so long for,” Alexander said.
“Yes, it took you long enough, I have been on to you for years,” Malkav said with a glass of red wine in his hand.
“Why did you destroy the Earth?” Alexander asked curiously.
“Earth wasn’t destroyed it was reborn, you should’ve stay longer. You might have found me,” Malkav implied, after sipping his wine. Alex drew his magnum from his holster, and pointed up at Malkav.
“What do you want with the likes of me?” Malkav asked.
“To kill you,” Alexander fired the magnum, and Malkav stood behind him.
“You aren’t going to get far with that, you are going to have to be faster,” Malkav said with glass still in his hand. Alexander stood in front of him.
“You’re not the one I am after anymore,” Alexander stated.
“And why is that?” Malkav asked.
“There is someone stronger, someone that is more of my match,” Alexander said, with the magnum at his side.
“And who might that be?” Malkav asked. “Tell me, so I can kill you.”
“Garnett_Seraphic_Lenoia,” Alexander answered.
“What are you talking about?” Malkav asked, but there was no one to ask. Alex was in the balcony, shooting at Malkav with two magnums. Alexander kept moving, as swiftly as he could. Malkav drew a .454, and began unloading at Alexander. Alexander did a front flip off of the balcony, and appeared to have landed in front of Malkav, but as soon as Malkav could let his finger even graze the trigger, Alexander was at the podium, fully reloaded, and staring at Malkav.
“Where is she?” Alexander asked.
“I should tell you, and send you to your death, you can kill neither one of us,” Malkav said.
“I can and will, kill every vampire!” Alexander began to shoot ruthlessly, but Malkav was nowhere in site. As Milky, Melanie, and Julius entered, they jumped behind the pughes to avoid the gunshots. Milky got up first with four throwing knives in each hand.
“Who the fuck are you?” Milky asked.
“The anti-dracula,” Alexander replied.
“Whatever,” Milky said, before throwing a knife at Alexander’s head. Alexander caught, and threw back, but Julius jumped in the way, and knocked it away with the katana. “Good job, now we kill,” Milky walked closer to Alexander, who had his guns ready and aimed at Milky. Malkav stood at the entrance of the church, and he shot Milky in the back of the head. Milky fell to the ground, as his blood spilled from his head. Melanie screamed as she saw her brother-in-law shot. She got up and pounced at Malkav, who disappeared. Milky was down, leaving Melanie and Julius to face Alexander. Alexander looked at Melanie for a minute, then he smelled the dried blood on her lips.
“I will not allow you to kill another human!” Alexander screamed, and began firing. Melanie jumped into the air, and landed on Alexander. She pinned his arms down, so he couldn’t get a shot at her. Julius ran up shortly, and just as Alexander kicked Melanie off of him. Julius slashed violently, like a cornered bobcat, but Alexander was just to fast to hit. Alexander stopped playing with Julius, and knocked him over the head with his gun. Melanie tackled Alexander, knocking the podium over. They landed in the middle of the aisle. Melanie began punching Alexander, who shot her in her arm. She fell back screaming, and her arm was smoking. Julius got up, and ran at Alex, but he shot Julius in the leg. Julius fell down, screaming, nearly crying from the pain. Melanie regained her strength, and as Alex turned to her, she grabbed his neck. Alex dropped his guns in shock. Her grip tightened, and she headbutted him. While she wasn’t looking, he pulled two small wooden crosses from his sides. Before she could do anything else, Alex stabbed her. She let out a large scream, and fell backwards to the ground. Alexander smirked, and shot her in the heart with last bullet in his magnum.
“Malkav, I will deal with you later, wherever you are,” Alexander said.
“There won’t be a later, you have just signed your death warrant,” Malkav said. Alex ignored Malkav, and left through one of the windows in the sanctuary.

Vicious 2 appeared on the Earth’s soil, right where his story began, at Syndicate Ave. Right in front of the Sages house, that was now all boarded up. He walked down the streets, he was heading home. He couldn’t keep the large smile off of his face. He couldn’t wait to see Melanie, and how much his daughter had grown. He decided to try out his new trick that Garnett taught him. He opened a dimension gate, and reappeared at the mansion.
“Melanie! Cindy! I’m home!” Vicious 2 said, as he walked around, vanishing from room to room.
“Where the hell are they?” Vicious 2 said. He walked out of the mansion, where he saw Cindy walking on the premises of the house. Her clothes were ripped, and her hair was a little dirty.
“Cindy!” Vicious 2 called, and he ran to her.
“Daddy!” Cindy ran to Vicious 2, and hugged him tightly. Vicious 2 hugged her tightly, and felt her warmth. It was cold warmth, but Vicious 2 felt at home with her in his arms.
“I missed you so much,” Vicious 2 said, rubbing her back.
“I love you, Daddy,” Cindy said.
“I love you too, Cindy,” Vicious 2 said. “Where is your mother?”
“She probably went back to church. She has become very religious, and she prays for you all of the time,” Cindy said.
“Her prayers have come true. What church is it that she is going to?” Vicious 2 asked.
“She has been going to this new church, just a few miles away from where you died,” Cindy said.
“Ok, I think I know where that is,” Vicious 2 said, and he grabbed her hand, lets go.”
“I’m not going, daddy,” Cindy said.
“Why?” Vicious 2 asked.
“I’m leaving for a while to clear my mind,” Cindy said.
“No, stay with me, my child,” Vicious 2 said.
“I will return, I promise. I just need some time,” Cindy said. Vicious 2 looked at her, with sorrow in his green eyes.
“I understand, there is money in the attic. I will wait for you,” Vicious 2 said.
“I love you, Daddy,” Cindy began to cry, and she hugged her father one last time before going back into the mansion. Vicious 2 felt the sorrow, but his tears were nowhere to be found. “I love you too, my sweet Cindy,” Vicious 2 muttered to himself, as he vanished. He landed in front of the syndicate building, and he started walking. The syndicate members saw him walking on the streets, but they dared not to even look at him for a long time.

He arrived at the small church, just about five miles away from headquarters. When he touched the door, his heart began to thump rapidly. He entered the church, only to see Malkav standing over Melanie, who was lying on the ground. Vicious 2 ran to her, and got on his knees immediately.
“Malkav, what happened?” Vicious 2 asked, embracing Melanie tightly.
“She was in a fight, and she lost,” Malkav replied. Vicious 2 looked around, to see Milky lying on the ground, and his son as well.
“Where were you?” Vicious 2 asked.
“He..” Melanie began to speak. Vicious 2 looked back down at her. “He..wat..ched…whole..th..thing,” Melanie said weakly.
“What do you mean?” Vicious 2 asked. He looked back, and Malkav was already gone.
“We’ll get him together, then we will get whoever did this to you,” Vicious 2 said, deeply angered.
“I don’t think that will be possible,” Melanie said, looking down at her diminishing body.
“Melanie don’t you give up on me!” Vicious 2 screamed, causing an echo throughout the church.
“Take care of Cindy,” Melanie said, with a tear coming from her face. She reached up to kiss him, but it was too late, her body was no more. She waned in his arms. Vicious 2 sat on his knees, and he screamed loudly, for it had happened again. He’d lost the only person that he trusted with his heart. His soul mate was gone, and there was nothing left for him. He got up, with his eyes burning with fury. He balled up his fists, and headed for the door.
“Dad, wait!” Julius said. Vicious 2 turned to his mirror image.
“What?” Vicious 2 said, with his eyes fixed on Julius. The look on his face frightened Julius, and he handed Vicious 2 his katana.
“It’s all my fault dad, I was too weak. If only I were more like you,” Julius said.
“No, son, you don’t want to be like me, it’s a blessing that you turned out to be the way you are,” Vicious 2 said., and he grabbed the katana. “Julius, grabbed a six-pack for Milky, and he will pop right back up,” Vicious 2 said, and vanished before Julius could even reply.

Julius came back to the church, after limping to the store. He brought back a six-pack of Budweiser, Milky’s favorite. He opened up a cold one, and poured on Milky’s face. The smell of the beer awakened Milky, and he quickly got up, and snatched the bottle out of Julius’s hand. The wound on his head, healed immediately before the beer could go down his throat.
“Thanks, kid, I needed that,” Milky said, patting Julius on the back. “Where is Melanie?”
“She’s dead,” Julius replied.
“What!? How long was I out of it?” Milky yelled, his hand going over his forehead. “Vicious is going to go insane, when he returns.”
“He already did, and now he is going to get Malkav,” Julius replied.
“Go back to the mansion, I am going to find your father,” Milky said.
“Alright,” Julius said, and he watched Milky leave.

Alexander gathered his gang of vampire hunters, after finding Garnett’s new mansion. Malkav’s words of Garnett’s strength were stuck in the back of Alexander’s head. But his stubbornness kept him moving. He and his gang of twenty vampire hunters, all set out for her mansion, they were going to attack at nightfall.

Vicious 2 entered another church, miles away from where Malkav’s church was. He saw Malkav standing at the alter with his back turned.
“How did you know I would be here?” Malkav asked, after sensing that Vicious 2 was behind him.
“I know that you have a love for churches,” Vicious 2 said.
“You do not know me at all,” Malkav corrected.
“I don’t want to,” Vicious 2 said, getting a little heated.
“I am nothing to you now, because your precious Melanie is gone,” Malkav predicted.
“Damn right!” Vicious 2 yelled. He reached behind him, and grabbed the handle of his katana. “Why didn’t you help her?”
“She was nothing to me,” Malkav said.
“You know if that was Patches, I would’ve helped him!” Vicious 2 shouted.
“I know, and that is what makes you weak. You care too damn much! I let Melanie die to teach you a lesson,” Malkav said.
“Well, I didn’t learn a damn thing,” Vicious 2 said.
“I know, through all of the years of knowing you, I have realized that you have a one track mind. You can’t be told anything, it’s always too late before you figure out your mistake,” Malkav said.
“Enough of your judgments; tell me who killed Melanie. Tell me before your death,” Vicious 2 commanded.
“All you need to know is, he is headed to Garnett. You really don’t need to know that, I don’t expect you to get past me, but I will give you the benefit of a doubt, his name is Alexander” Malkav said, after drawing the Asura.
“Malkav, you were my only friend I had after Cindy died, I just don’t understand. I’m past understanding now! There is nothing left in this world to believe in!” Vicious screamed, as he pulled his katana from his sheathe. Malkav waited for him to charge ruthlessly at him, but Vicious 2 just stood there, looking into Malkav’s crimson eyes.
“I see, you have changed over the years,” Malkav said. Vicious 2 nodded, and opened a dimension gate. He vanished into thin air, right before Malkav’s eyes.
“No more dust, huh?” Malkav looked around for Vicious 2.

Patches touched the doorknob of the large church, but the before he could open the door, Milky threw a knife into the door.
“Milk, what are you doing here?” Patches asked.
“Move aside, Patches, this doesn’t concern you,” Milky said.
“It is, if you are planning on harming my sire,” Patches said.
“I don’t mind killing two birds with one stone,” Milky said.
“I only see one bird,” Patches said, and quickly fired at Milky.
Vicious 2 reappeared behind Malkav, and Malkav launched into the air, before anything could be done. Vicious 2 jumped after him, and their swords battled in the air, before gravity became a factor. They landed in the middle of the aisle, and stared at each other, before commencing to battle once more. Vicious 2’s katana was aimed at Malkav’s head, but Malkav’s red blade blocked every violent slash. Malkav lacerated the Asura across Vicious 2’s stomach, and Vicious 2 jumped back, bringing his katana down forcefully on Malkav. Malkav brought his sword up to Vicious 2’s just in enough time to block it. Malkav tried to stab Vicious 2, but he dodged, giving Malkav all the time he needed to sweep Vicious 2 to the ground. When Vicious 2 landed, Malkav kicked the katana from his hand, and picked him up by his collar.
“You will never defeat me!” Malkav said, staring into Vicious 2’s angry face. Vicious 2 drove his hand into Malkav’s neck, gripping tightly. Malkav gritted his teeth, and quickly stabbed Vicious 2 in the stomach. The Asura pierced right through Vicious 2’s innards, out of his back, and through his overcoat. Malkav smiled, and threw Vicious 2 in the corner, and the balcony collapsed onto him.
