Seras laughed with insane blood lust, her eyes seeming to glow bright red as she dove forward in a blur. The lesser minions didn't stand a chance, and quite soon blood and body parts began to fly everywhere. One hapless creature made it to the door, only to be grabbed and torn apart limb by limb.
"I do believe that they had been starving the poor thing." The Mentor chuckled in amusement. "Though those minions probably aren't a very good meal for one such as her." The Mentor turned to watch his student in amusement. "Now let us see if you can survive your very first murder spree, shall we?"
Ranma grimaced as his hand lashed out and intercepted an incoming whip. The thing writhed like a living animal, and he felt it draw blood as it was pulled back. Apparently the other keepers had decided that he was a target as well, and a few of their bodyguards where targeting him.
Pushing the girl at his side to the ground, Ranma dodged a pair of speeding crossbow bolts. So far it was a dark mistress and two of the Orcs, but more would come if the keepers could deal with the vampire fledgling. Ranma shook out his hand as the Orcs reloaded their crossbows. This would be easy.
Off to the side Seras snarled in sadistic glee as she licked the blood of her hands. It felt so good to let loose, to rend and tear at the jeering things that had dared attack her. She barely registered the spears stuck into her side, only focused on the blood lust that coursed through her veins. No survivors, she could deal with that. A troll began to approach her, slashing forward one knotted and gnarled hand. The vampires smiled as she gripped the hand, and began to pull the arm from it's socket.
The vampires that had come with Keeper Zeldon had fallen back to whisper amongst themselves when the massacre had hit. A greater vampire was both a prize and a thing to bear feared for them. To drink from one would increase their power immensely. To be drunk from would be eternity in servitude. Ultimately they waited, and watched their keeper.
Keeper Zeldon produced a knife from the inside of his robe, gripping his newest slave-girl purchase. He knew how to deal with upstart undead, yes he did. The knife flashed forward, stripping a piece of flesh from the slave-girl. There were plenty of dark rituals that would supply his servants with power. The girl didn't even flinch as she was flayed alive.
The troll hit the ground with meaty thump, and its arm hit the ground soon after. Seras spat out a mouthful of it's blood. It was almost as vile as the thing's appearance. The vampires chose thing time to strike, striking out from the shadows and swarming her with teeth and claws. She managed to grab one, ripping off it's head in a spray of blood, but two of them managed to sink their teeth into her shoulders.
Seras snarled in pain and fury as she ignored the bites and lunged forward, biting another vampire attempting to attack her and draining it dry. A loud meaty thump sounded out, and Seras found herself flying back, into the shoddy walls of the auction house.
The Bile Demon had entered the fray. Dragging the dead body of a slave-girl, it lifted the corpse up by the leg and took a large bite out of the midsection. He grinned bloodily at the stunned vampires. That he had hit all of them was a nice bonus. The monster swung the corpse at Seras again, driving her back into the wall with a loud meaty bloody thud. The girl groaned in fury even as she found herself driven into the wall again.
On the stage Ranma snarled in agony, ripping the whip out of the hands of the dark mistress and using it to lash out at the Orcs with crossbows. A savage palm strike to the 'woman' sent her off the stage and into her keeper. His other hand lashed the whip forward and took out the throat of one of the Orcs. The thing staggered to the ground as it bleed, but stood up once more as a black rain-like spell washed over it, healing the thing.
Two Dark Mistress and two orcs wouldn't have been a problem if they weren't all ranged, and Ranma didn't have to protect the insane purchase at his feet. The girl was giggling as she watched him fight, and he would have been seriously creeped out if the rest of the room wasn't so disturbing.
A quick glance the other side of the room made the young keeper grimace. Seras looked like she was in bad shape as well. Another creature appeared by one of the keepers, pulled in to help deal with the absolute chaos that had begun. The keepers were starting to take pot shots at each other too.
"Fine then." Ranma growled out. If they were going to bring in help, he would too.
'Now this is the mark of a true keeper.' The Mentor thought to himself. 'Restraint, the ability to inspire, and no mercy what so ever. This one corrupted might become some of my greatest work yet.'
Horny grinned as he appeared on the stage.
