Alpha_Beta Adelaide
Unknown / Romanian
He awoke. He felt just like a newborn child, he knew nothing about what was going on. When he adjusted to the atmosphere surrounding, he noticed that it was dark. He seemed to be in some-sort of a cave, he noticed the tight feeling on his angles and wrists, and noticed that there was a layer of water surrounding him, barring his way into the cave. It then occurred to him that he was in a glass tube. He started to panic, overcome by fear of drowning, then it occurred to him, that he would have already drowned. He struggled against his restraints, and they snapped like paper before his now incredible strength. He took a while to get used to coordinating his arms and legs and punched at the glass tube. After a few punches it finally fractured, and he punched a hole big enough to fit through. The water poured out of the tube, and he came into contact with fresh air for the first time. He struggled to breathe but just could not gather air into his lungs. Nothing happened, and he started to collapse.
After getting used to not having to breathe, he climbed out of the tube. He took the time to look at his surroundings in greater detail. He was in a cave, with a filing cabinet, a desk with papers scattered all over it, and a box with big letters on the side proclaiming 'Specimen 2354 'Alpha_Beta''. He stumbled over to the box, and felt the rush of air against his skin, and he realized with a shock that he was naked. He thought his clothes might be in the box, so he opened it. As he moved to open the box, he saw that his left hand was completely devoid of skin on his left two fingers. He wondered why he did not feel any pain over such a horrific injury. He continued to open the box. Inside were all of his clothes, and a small sword. He put the clothes on, and inserted the sword into his trench coat. He felt a bracelet against his neck and pulled it off. IT also said 'Specimen 2354 'Alpha_Beta'' on it. He threw it into the corner of the room and walked over to the desk. In the chair before it was a dead body, his throat was cut from ear to ear, and the blood was hardened over the wound. He was then overcome by an incredible desire to drink the blood, and he could not contain it any longer. He jumped onto thew body and drained it of all the blood it had left in it. His hunger subsided when he was done, and he collapsed in shock at what he had just done. He regained his composure and stumbled out the door at the far end of the room.
He walked into a long dusty corridor, which had obviously been carved out of rock. There was a strange light coming from one end of the corridor. Figuring that could be the way out, alpha began to walk towards it. He came across a large metal door, which was ajar. An intense light was coming from it, and from a small light bulb above the door. A metal sign in the center of the door had the word 'tapestry' engraved on it. Alpha fearfully pushed the door open. Hung from the wall directly opposite the door was an incredibly large sheet that appeared to be made out of pure flesh. A figure emerged from the corner of the wall. 'Greetings, I am the guardian of the tapestry' said the figure. Alpha turned in fear. The figure was approximately 6ft tall. He was wrapped in purple robes, all over his body. He had a bandanna over his head, hiding all but his eyes from who-so-ever were to look upon him. 'I presume you are here to gaze upon the tapestry?' he questioned. 'Nnnnnn no! I woke up in a room further down the corridor' Alpha replied. 'Ah, so you are one of the subjects, then? Well, you were captured to loom upon this tapestry anyway, so you will do it whether you like it or not!' the figure shouted. He suddenly jumped on alpha and before he knew it, alpha was stuck to the wall by some kind of ropes. 'Enjoy the view' the figure shouted. He walked over to the tapestry and poured blood over it. Alpha could not help but look at it, and a vision was projected straight into his brain.
Visions slowly flashed in and out of alphas mind. He saw a raven flying in front of the sun. Alpha, was frightened of the sun and tried to run, but it was unavoidable. He suddenly saw the sun turn black. Then he saw thirteen incredibly powerful looking people emerge from the ground. Alpha was even more afraid of these thirteen figures than he was of the sun. His view fixated upon one of the figures. She was around 6ft tall and was slightly animalistic looking . Alpha had a strange internal feeling that she was the one who made him, who was indirectly responsible for his occupying this strange form. He saw the thirteen people devour vampire after vampire, so much so that only few remained alive. His view than changed. He was now looking upon a grand hallway, obviously made by some advanced race. He then saw the thirteen turn completely around and bow down, to this lone figure, sitting in an ebony throne with blue fires burning on either side. Alpha was suddenly gripped by an intense fear of which words could not describe. The figure was 7ft tall, draped in animal fur. Alpha knew, without doubt, that this was none other than the first vampire, Caine. The view then changed again. He was staring upon a vast valley, which was lined by vampires. In the valley he could see two figures. One was Caine, the other was a similarly dressed woman. Alpha knew nothing of her whatsoever. He saw the pair run at each other before his vision changed again. The last thing he saw was a lone figure, fending off against thousands of demonic looking creatures. The lone warrior was huge, of a very muscular build. He was covered in scars and a sort of strange fur. He fought with all this strength, before his heart was pierced by a thousand spears. The lone figure let out an ear-piercing howl before he fell over and died. His vision changed again for the last time, as the saw a city on an island in the middle of a strange gray sea, which was being battered by a storm. He saw a cloud of ghosts erupt from the center of the city followed by a large black cloud, which erupted from the island and caused the winds to gain greatly in power. The city could not hold itself against such a powerful onslaught and was destroyed instantly.
Alpha snapped back into reality with an incredible rush. He was back in the room, and the strange tapestry guardian was sitting in the corner. He saw alpha was back to reality and he let him down from the wall. 'So, you saw the visions then?' the guardian questioned. 'Yes, what was that?' Alpha replied. 'That was the end of the world. Unfortunately, you are not the first to gaze upon this tapestry. The one called Nephran has been here. He wishes to use the information gained from his visions to cause the end of the world. He must be stopped at all costs! And you, have been chosen to accompany me on this trip.' The guardian announced. 'But, but I cannot go with you, I do not even know anything about my condition.!'. The guardian conveyed all the information about his vampiric condition. 'You were found in here along time ago. Unfortunately, I don not know anything about your past, or even your real name.' The guardian said. 'I have no choice but to go with you then. Perhaps on this journey I will discover more about my past. What may I refer to you as?' Alpha questioned. 'My name is Setzer, I will call you Alpha_Beta, since that is your number' the guardian said. They both left the room and walked down to the opposite end of the corridor and passed through a large steel door, into what was clearly a cave. After they emerged from the cave, they were ambushed by a group of around 100 vampires. They knew that they could not hope to defeat such large amount of enemies, and so the gave themselves up.
An unknown amount of time passed. When alpha awoke, he noticed that he was inside a crate of some sort, lying on a blanket of dirt. It seemed that the crate was not very strong, so alpha punched through it easily. He saw that his was in a room with seven other crates. He wondered if they all contained people in a similar situation to him. He walked over to the nearest crate and broke it open. Inside, in a similar fashion was Setzer. Alpha woke Setzer up and they decided to brake open the other crates. Inside one crate was a vampire, of clan vetrue called Andreus. They asked andreus how he got into the crates. Andreus said that they were fighting in a siege on a town in the U.S. when they were hurt so badly that they could no longer move. He explained that they were looking for a vampire named nephran, who had quite high influence among the rulers of the sabbat. He said that nephran had pulled some strings and got him and his pack lined up for execution. Setzer explained that him and alpha were also looking for nephran, and suggested that they should join up and go after him together. Andreus agreed and freed the rest of his pack from the boxes., The pack introduced themselves :Vivani, a salubri antitribbu blessed with a third eye; Talon a monstrous gargoyle; and Z an alluring assassin, who hailed from the Far East. The group noticed that there were two other boxes besides theirs. They decided to open them. Inside one was a clanless sabbat vampire called Justin, inside the other was Milon, also a clanless sabbat vampire. Justin explained that they were members of the sabbat inquisition, the 'police force' of the sabbat, and that they were also lined up for death by nephran. He said that the sabbat inquisition had sent a helicopter to rescue them, and that they were currently on a tanker on their way to the sabbat headquarters in Mexico. Andreus asked if they could go along with them and Justin agreed on the condition that they go with them to help stop a group of rebel sabbat who were planning to explode a nuclear bomb in Vienna. Andreus agreed that this was a fair trade and agreed to this, Alpha and Setzer said that they would help too. They moved to the door of their cabin and moved to open it. They found that it was currently the day-time. They worked their way through the shadows to the top deck and sure enough, they moved found a helicopter waiting to take them to Vienna. The group boarded and flew to Vienna.
On the helicopter the met the leader of the sabbat inquisition, a lasombra vampire called Pabodie. He explained that the sabbat inquisition was also after nephran and that they would gladly assist Andreus's pack in tracking him down. When they arrived in Vienna, they landed on the hills surrounding the city and walked down into a gigantic castle in the center of the city. Justin explained that in order to escape from this building if things got hairy, they would have to use a magical talisman that would take them straight back to the helicopter. Justin gave the talisman to andreus since he seemed to be the leader. They worked their way to the building and they discovered the nuclear device in the basement of the castle. They saw the bomb being guarded by five vampires, which would not cooperate with them and fought them. The pack destroyed them easily. Just as they were about to disable the bomb, a figure entered the room behind them. Alpha, Setzer and Vivani turned in horror and recognized him instantly. He was saulot, one of the thirteen who alpha had seen in his vision, and he was gifted with a third eye, like Vivani. Behind him entered a winged figure of very muscular build and around 7ft in height. Alpha noticed that he had six wings on his back and seemed to have an aura of pure fire. 'Ah, I have finally found you! We must win the war, and in order to do that, you must die!' the winged figure said. Alpha and Setzer turned and ran to andreus who was preparing to use the talisman to escape. Vivani stood still. He picked up the bomb and threw it at saulot and the winged figure, just as Andreus, Setzer, Alpha, Talon and Z were escaping. The pack, without Vivani, re-appeared at the helicopter just in time as a massive explosion, devoured the ancient city of Vienna in it's fiery wake. The pack dived behind rocks and cowered before the shockwave of that mighty explosion. After they gathered themselves, they realized with horror that Vivani, Justin and Milon had failed to escape. Looking towards the center of the city, they saw the winged figure and saulot standing in the center of where that city used to be. The winged figure turned to saulot and picked him up, destroying him in his fiery aura, before he flew up into the sky and away.
The pack returned to the helicopter and found Pabodie waiting at the helicopter. He told them that his minions had discovered that nephran was waiting for them in Antarctica. They boarded the helicopter and traveled to Antarctica. They landed infront of a couple of gigantic mountains, the likes of which had never been see before by them. They seemed to pierce the sky, and instantly dwarfed mount Everest. They landed near a destroyed city buried in the mountains. The pack explored the city and found a tunnel leading into the heart of the mountains. They walked down the tunnel until they came across a large hallway, which had a pool of water in the center of it. Standing infront of the pool was nephran who was flanked by two other vampires: One was around 5ft " with shoulder length black hair and a goatee, wearing a trenchcoat and holding two double barreled magnums; one the other side of nephran was a 6ft 4" figure with scraggly blonde hair, and a pointy chin, he was dressed in a light brown trenchcoat. Standing behind nephran was also another six-winged creature with a fiery aura. However, he was the most beautiful creature the pack had ever laid eyes on, and radiated a sense of calm. The figure with the goatee began to speak 'I killed you people! Do you not learn from your mistakes, you idiots!' he pointed to alpha 'You cyan! I killed you personally' he hissed. 'I do not know what you are talking about, I am not Cyan' Alpha Replied. 'Well, you look like him, either way your interference is a hindrance to our plans! You must be frozen in this lake for the rest of time, so as not to interfere!' The figure with the goatee and the one with the scraggly hair ran at the pack and insistently overpowered them, throwing them into the lake. Where they lay sleeping for centuries.
Alpha awoke sluggishly from his slumber. He was now lying on a hardwood floor next to the rest of the pack. The looked up to see yet another six winged being. The one was surrounded in an aura of light and was identifiable by a scar across his left eye. 'Greetings mortals, I am the angel Metatron, voice of god.' The being said 'Your quest has been deemed worthy by me, and I will assist you to the end' He suddenly changed into a middle aged, average height man, with an eyepatch over his left eye. He was holding a long rapier. He explained to the pack that they had been frozen for nearly 100 years, and in that time the world had changed dramatically. The twelve remaining vampiric clan founders, along with Caine, had risen and destroyed most of the world's population. They now ruled over the survivors in the last city of mankind, called Gehenna. Nephran was still alive, wand continued to bring about the end of the world from a large tower on the edge of the city. The pack and Metatron walked out onto the streets, and walked towards the clearly visible tower.
The base of the tower was guarded by a group of mercenaries who all had a large eye on the front of their t-shirts. The pack easily took them down and continued to walk up the tower. When they were half way up the tower. Thew could hear the sounds of hundreds of people, all wearing that strange eye on their t-shirts approaching the base of the tower. Suddenly, two beams of pure light descended from the heavens and revealed two six winged angels. 'Ah, Michael and Gabriel have arrived, they shall protect us. The Metatron said and continued to walk up the tower. When they reached the top, nephran, the goatee wearing man (who's skin seemed to have turned pitch black) and the scraggly blonde haired man were standing. 'Nephran, Brandon, Gertz! The heavens have judged you.' The Metatron said and brought out a bow, from which he fired three arrows glowing with white flame. The arrows killed Nephran, Brandon and Gertz. Suddenly, the entire city was enveloped in explosions. 'No, we have failed to prevent it!' Andreus sighed The platform on which the pack was standing was suddenly surrounded by angels who protected the platform from the explosions. Metatron turned to Setzer and said 'You were not part of the agreement, I'm sorry', then he placed his hand on Setzer's forehead and he vanished. 'He turned to Alpha 'Unfortunately, you were not part of the agreement either. Your brother, Cyan was supposed to be, but unfortunately his soul was carried into oblivion before we could save him, so you shall take his place.'
The Metatron then nodded and the pack transformed. They all grew wings, their clothes changed into armor and they discovered that they each had twin flaming swords. Vivani re-appeared and was dressed similarly. Then the two fiery ones, who the pack had met before descended from the skies. The beautiful one was on the right hand side, whilst the other one was on the left. 'Satan, Lucifer, now is where this will be settled' Metatron said and vanished. 'Are you the six destined to fight us to end the war once and for all? Don' t make me laugh' Satan said and rushed at the pack. A fierce battle ensued, and at the end of it, the pack emerged victorious. They were then transported to infront of huge golden gates. At the right hand side Metatron was standing. 'As you have emerged victorious, you have redeemed vampire kind. Enter, and be at peace, finally' Metatron said as the gates opened, and the pack walked through.
