"You're joking right?" Lazarus said with disbelief present on his face at the current situation. "Yeah i won't deny it. I killed Maxwell but you can't seriously say he didn't deserve it."
Ragnar still pointed his gun at Lazarus spoke after Lazarus gave his comment. "Your a danger to society like other turned and you don't know how to control yourself. But there are ways to reverse vamparism, if you come with us we can help you return to normal."
"Kinda hard to believe you with a gun pointed in my face. And besides your from the Von Helsing family, a family of supernatural hunters." He said as he took a couple of steps back to give himself some space.
"Look here you idiot you can't just go killing people just because of your own grievances. Don't get me wrong, I'm saying for Maxwell he was a piece of shit that deserved punishment." Gideon said while approaching Lazarus and pointing his sword at him.
"But that doesn't mean you have the right to make that decision. Surrender and your punishment will be lightened."
"Yeah, I'll have to disagree with you 2 there, since I don't think he did anything wrong." Astra commented to the shock of Ragnar and Gideon.
"Astra, what?!?" Confusion could be heard in Ragnar's tone.
"No Ragnar, he only killed Maxwell while all Maxwell subordinates are just slightly injured and none of them are life-threatening. And the only person he killed was Maxwell, who may I remind you has done some messed up things and was able to get away with them thanks to his family." She finished with a hint of disgust in her tone.
Lazarus was quite shocked to see her defend his actions. As witches are know for only participating with others only when it benefits them. While Lazarus hasn't met a witch outside of Astra. He knew he shouldn't take their words at face value.
"Astra, I paid you so you should hold your end of the bargai-"
"Hay... before you finish that sentence you may want to step back." Lazarus interrupted
"What are yo-"
*BOOM*
*BOOM*
Before Ragnar could finish his sentence. 2 small explosion erupted from beneath them. Which caused a small smoke screen that impaired Ragnar, Gideon and Astra vision of Lazarus.
"Lazarus I thought you said you were going to deal with Maxwell, so why are these bastards here?"
"Who knows and who cares, let's end this as quick as possible."
As the smoke cleared Cassandra and Lason were infront of Lazarus with their respective powers activated.
Lazarus stared at his friends and their slightly altered appearances.
Cassandra's hair which originally was
once a darker shade purple, had become a more vibrant violet color. And her skin was now a creamy caramel colors.
Lason on the other hand didn't seem to change that much as his skin became a slightly darker shade of brown.
But what shock Lazarus and the 3 humans were their new prominent tattoos and eyes. Both the twins had gained a deep black sclera and their tattoos had spread from the back and extended towards their arms.
They both were already beautiful before but their beauty seemed to have been enhanced to an inhuman level.
Lason's tattoos had gone from a plain black to a deep blue and sun orange color, and had an intricate patterns of unknown origins. His body exuded and icey fog and ashen smoke
Cass's tattoos, like her brother's, seem to spread from her back to her arms and seemed to travel along her back and end on her sides of her body.but they were a deep purple similar to her hair. Her arms were covered in deep violet flame and lightning.
'Dammit! What happened to them? Last I checked the Bloodfire's twins were only Asanbosam. Not Union Vampires. Ragnar thought as he gestured towards Astra to do what they planned before.
Without hesitation Astra snapped her fingers and all 6 of them were teleported to an undisclosed location.

Lazarus looked around him to scout his surroundings. He seemed to have been transported inside a desolate and abandoned city. With destroyed buildings, cracked pavements and abandoned vehicles along the street.
"A bounded field?" He guessed.
"Yes, seems you've been doing your own studying."
Lazarus looked above and saw Ragnar standing on top of a building. Just that his attire had changed as he wore a simple black button-down shirt, slacks, dress shoes and a fur caller coat. As if he were going to a party and not to capture his friend.
"Lazarus... please surrender. I only want to help you. You don't know the struggles of the being a member of the supernatural"
Lazarus continue to stare at him with a dead pan expression on his face as he walked towards one of the abandoned vehicles and placed his hand on it.
"First... tell me where Lason and Cass are? Cause i can't detect their presence, actually I can't sense anyone aside me, you and that dog next to you.
"They're with Gideon and Astra. Are you worried about them? Ragnar question with a calculative look on his face.
"Well, yeah. Why wouldn't I be?" He said as a matter of fact. "Just like you they are my friends. It's obvious I'd worry about them."
Didn't they turn you against your will? How can you even call them friends after something like this?!" He spat back.
"Tsk, Tsk, Tsk, thats were your wrong they never turned me. I was always a member of the supernatural world."
"But let's make a bet." Lazarus offered
"What does this bet entail?" Ragnar was prepared for anything.
"Let's fight. If you win I'll return to being a human and you can even wipe my memories of everything supernatural. But if I win you leave me alone and don't bother me about this. Deal?"
Ragnar let the terms of the deal set in and analyze Lazarus to see any falsehood in his words.
"What am I limited too. As you know hunters always carry their weapons and tools for hunting and I have this little guy right here." Gesturing to his large wolf companion.
Lazarus smiled as his next words left Ragnar in disbelief.
"None. I want to see the limits of what I can do and I want to see what the might of the Von Helsing blood can bring about."
*GROWL*
Lazarus looked at the wolf who was showing him open hostility but Lazarus didn't really care much.
"So.. if i defeat you will you willingly return to being a human?" Ragnar question Lazarus as he pulled out a black and red blade from the wolfs body.
"I'm a man of my word."
As if give the signal Ragnar jumped down rushing towards Lazarus in a downward motion and Lazarus jumped up and transformed Amaris into her greatsword form.
Their blade met and a tremendous shock wave came from the blow.
