[Cobra (Gymn)]

The whip lashed Bear head and neck and flung him aside. The PR/E sparked. The last thing Bear Knew before he lost consciousness was what the Vampire would do to him. He would kill him or Worse!
"Noooo!" John yelled. He fired at the Vampire with his particle beams.

[Chad32]

Fredrick smiled as the first of the unenlightened fell. However he was distracted and didn't see John fire at him. The first shot hit his shield and fizzled, but the other got his arm. He yelled and dropped his whip, which was undecided if it wanted to hold on to the cheetah or leap back to Fredrick. Due to what Fredrick was, he could not be stunned. So aside from the pain, he could still use his arm.

This time he did attempt to make eye contact with John and use hypnosis. This way he might get close enough without getting shot at too much. He could rush forward while willing John not to shoot, then strike out when he was close.

Claxter had been following the group, and when they got to the woods he started hacking at branches and vines to get them out of the way. It looked like the battle was already starting.

(Forgot to include Claxter in my posts. He did say he would help them.)

[Cobra (Gymn)]

The Vampire's stare was alluring but John shook it off and focused on aiming both minutely accurate beams at the Vampire's chest.

[Chad32]

Fredrick relied on his energy shield, though the constant barrage was sapping him. "Put your weapons down, Human. Come to The One. Be enlightened." He said, trying to make his hypnosis stronger with vocal commands. He continued to advance, though not at a full run.

[Cobra (Gymn)]

John faltered and stopped firing. The voice was so soothing. He took a step forward.

[Chad32]

"Good boy. Your friend has already been enlightened. You too shall be enlightened." He said as he dropped his energy shield and walked towards John. Since he left his whip, it remained around Bear's neck. Just enough so he could take shallow breaths. That would keep him from dying, but also keep him from waking up soon. Though from a distance you couldn't see him in the tall grass.

Claxter finally made it to the field where John had stopped firing. At first he thought they were going to talk, but the look in the Vampire's eyes told him something was off. <Keep your distance, creature! Give yourself up!>

Fredrick frowned as someone had gotten to the battle a little too soon. Without taking his eyes off John, he gave Vogefak a command. "Servant. Deal with the Andalite."

Claxter looked at Vogefac with his stalk eyes. He was under the Vampire's control again.

[RAFrukh]

((Sorry, was at a meeting...))


As the Vampire focused his hypnosis and psionic control on John, he also loosened his grip on Vogefac....

The already logical reptile could draw only one conclusion from his usual deliberations....

His 'master' was the Anathema, and he had taken control of Vogefac again. Without Anathema noticing he called out to John as he had done to Artemis, the poor human female caught in the transe of Anathema's stare.

{John, do not listen to the voice of Anathema. Abomination. He will destroy you. All that feels good, seems good –– it is bad! Do not listen!}

But something was wrong....Anathema had told me if I disobeyed, I would feel pain. I felt no pain.

The psionic energy I donated to the monster! It contained the energy he implanted in my head...most of it...Vogefac felt mildly itchy...

He lunged for Anathema, steel claws slashing the air at 3/4 the speed of sound, muscles rippling, eyes focused.

He called to Bear, {Change! If you change you can cut the whip!}

To Claxter, {When he turns, flak him! This will add shock to the pain!}

I charged Anathema...

[Chad32]

Fredrick heard vogefac lunge, but instead of going for Claxter, he was going for fredrick! He didn't understand. If Vogefac disobeyed him, he should be wracked with pain. Unless...the energy he had given to fredrick, even without being commanded to. Part of it had been that energy of his. He had found a loophole without even thinking about it? It couldn't have been intentional, could it? This guy was becoming a real pain in the ass.

Fredrick was forced to retreat a bit, and lose eye contact with the Human. Claxter just stood, confused. Was this guy under the Vampire's control or not? Maybe partially. Was this Vampire really that weak, or was there something else to it?

<Both of you stop right now!> He said.

[Cobra (Gymn)]

John had been lost even when Vogefac spoke to him. The voice was so sweet. But when the Vampire stopped eye contact John came to his senses and dived for his guns.

[Midnight_Huntress]

Silver had hear her father call to her as she used the trees. She didn't mean to lose him but she was severely pissed with this vampire. She burst from the trees she seen Vogefac going for..Fredrick? This was starting to give her a headache. She pulled her Battle staff out once again and as she flew towards the battle, sprining from the last branch, she called out and a bolt of lightening came from her staff aimed at Fredrick.

[Cobra (Gymn)]

Kurapor had gotten his feet stuck in a patch of mud and he was having trouble getting them out because of his weight.

[RAFrukh]

What was I doing?

As he realized what was going on, I came under Anathema's control again.

{Forgive me, my liege.}

I lunged for the Andalite, expecting that my Lord would want me to carry out his orders. The andalite was still the most powerful creature there, right?

Lightning! It lanced towards my master....where....

Of course, the girl. Artemis. SHE was more powerful than a smug Andalite's tail-blade...

[Gaz]

Morgan was coming at an angle from the back at Fredrick. Instead of reaching for his gun just yet, Morgan pulled back one of his large fists and swung a heavy left at Fredrick's side.

Morgan's other hand had his gun ready in case something went wrong.

(I'm going to be at the zoo most of the day and then I have to take Stalker back to her place. In short, I'm going to be out and about until late this evening.)

[RAFrukh]

But the Minotaur was closer, and now was punching my Lord.

{What should I d master?} I asked, as I closed in on the girl anyway.

My Lord was preoccupied.

I turned sharply, ignoring the girl. The Minotaur was closer, so I would get rid of him first.

I sprung at him. Hy horns connected solidly with his head. My hands slammed his neck. If I timed my moves right, he would go unconscious, and I could focus on Artemis.

[Chad32]

"Just fight the others. Not me!" Fredrick said. He was becoming annoyed at his servant's willpower. If he didn't finish the process soon, the reptile would not make any kind of dependable servant. His energy shield fell at the attacks of John and Silver. He backed off a bit, trying to determine who to go after first.

Silver's father fell to the ground, stunned. "Deal with the Andalite. I think I can handle the Humans." He said. He retreated back to his whip and grabbed it. With that in hand he charged John. He seemed to be the weakest of the group, and should fall quickly. He aimed his whip for the guy's neck, hoping to snap it. Then he could take Artemis.

Claxter moved to engage Vogefac, hoping to incapacitate him.
