Back inside the factory.
The 3 kidnappers realized they were in a difficult situation. There powerhouse was outside dealing with 2 other people and has yet to returned. Meanwhile they are in a disadvantage, as they were had 2 powerful women watching them with murderous intent in their eyes.
"Look... how about we cut a deal?" The boss ask as he met Astra who floated above them her eyes filled with disgust.Cassandra who squated on the walk-way her eyes glowing with a fierce intensity as small sparks of lightning and fire lit around her body.
As for the third, they could tell she was still inside the room with them but, is well hidden.
"And what pray tell is this deal you have to offer?"
The man tilted his head in the direction of Lazarus an revealed his offer. "I will allow you to take your friend back in atleast one piece. In return you allow me and my companions to leave this place." The man paused as his eyes scan the room for any possible exit points.
Astra kept her eyes on the man who spoke in behalf of his companions see his reaction. "And what if I chose to kill you all and save him?" She questioned trying to gage the mans next moves.
"Well... I'd just have to do this." Snapping his fingers.
They immediately prepare for any sudden attacks but, nothing happened.
"Arrrrrgggghhhhh!" Lazarus let out a roar of pain as his body fell from the chair. His body convulsed as, it violently shook on the ground as fome mixed with some blood was oozing out of his mouth,and blood began to leak out of his eyes, nose and ears.
"Lazarus!" Cassandra shouted but couldn't move due to the black smoke.
"I see... your smarter than I gave you credit for." Astra replied as, her eyes glow with a faint pink light. See looking into Lazarus body and noticed that there was a small curved dagger piercing his heart.
The dagger seemed to be made from bone and was small beads tied to the handle, one being black and releasing the same wispy smoke. That see recognized as the necromancer's that seemed to deprive him of his strength and vitality.
While the white one released a translucent liquid which caused his body to react as his heart began to slowly turn black and become brittle. His body bent in unnatural angles ,as it cause im tremendous pain. She recognized it as werewolf vemon but, in a diluted version.
The man stood their with a small smile across his lips as if telling them there was nothing they could do.
Lason and Bacho returned back to the factory and upon seeing them the 3 realized what happened to their friend.
As the boss looked at them his expression barely changed as if he weren't near deaths door.
'Haymen do you think you could revive Daken or atleast turn him onto an undead?' He questioned the necromancer through telepathy.
'It mainly depends on the condition his body was left in but, if most of it is still intact I can manage.'
'Good.'
"Another thing, I'd like the body of my other companion if you would pleas-."
BANG.
A gunshot rangout through the factory as a bullet went sailing for the man's head but as if was only a few inches away from his face.
TING.
It collide with a barrier that appeared infront of him to protect him from the blow.
They all looked back to saw Nova who switched from her shotgun to a sniper rifle.
"The man didn't seem bothered an continued." Yes I'd like my comrades remains to be returned to us." He finish.
Lason immediately recognized they weren't in a good position. He saw Lazarus violently shaking as blood leaked from his pours but Lason noticed some odd.
The black wispy aure which surrounded Lazarus wasn't negatively affecting him like the rest of the surroundings.
"Why should we negotiate with these brats!?" The woman questioned as her eyes landed on them but more specifically Astra.
"Who are you to judge any of us? You who's had a silver spoon in her mouth since she was young, someone who'd never had to struggle for anything and yet you come her acting like Judge, jurry and executioner for us!" Her words were laced with contempt and hate as her eyes never left Astra who wasn't expression was still flat as her eyes met Felicia's.
Astra extended her hand and a book came from it, and upon seeing the book, Felicia eyes widened. "Why do you-
Infront of everyone astra projects astral letters.
"Felicia of the enchantress conven, you were exiled from your covenant after you were found performing experiments on your fellow witches. It was discovered that you experiments result in most of the witches dying from their injuries." Astra recited the following scriptures.
It's an unknown rule to most supernatural beings but, witches are prohibited from performing experiments on each other. This was a rule established by the very first Witch Queen and is upheld by those of the royal line. Astra being the youngest of the children of the Witch Queen has the jurisdiction to judge any witch who's name appears in the book.
As she finished everyone one notice Felicia being very quiet, but no one let their gaurd down.
And as if responding to them the a wave of green mana exploded off Felicia body. Her eyes glowed with fury in them.
They all realize that negotiate maybe over.
Felicia extended both her hands and a dagger similar to the one poisoning Lazarus but of a stronger concoction appeared and in her other hand she held Lazarus by his hair as she put the blade near his throat.
"I know i can't beat you princess, I'm not that stupid. But I also recognize that you need our hostage so your going to shut up and listen!"
Astra glanced to her side and noticed the fear in the Bloodfire's eyes as the witch placed the dagger near Lazarus throat seemed agitated to forget the deal her boss made with them.
But than.
*STAB.*
Everyone looked on with different emotions.
Some had fear.
Some had caution.
While some had relief with a bit of shock.
As they all witness Lazarus plunged his entire arm through her chest so fast bearly anyone could process it.
He held her heart in his hand which was covered in her blood. And as he rose and by extention lifting her up.
They met eyes and, Felicia notice the the pupils of the vampire's eyes were gone and were completely swallowed by the black of his sclera as, deep black crack like vains appeared underneath his eyes.
His twin colored hair began to change, becoming a deep crimson color similar to the color of blood. But the most surprised feature he revealed wasn't the his hair or eyes.
It was the singular black feathery wing with red tips that bursted out from the right side of his back.
But, the most baffling thing would be the red halo that floated above his head that seem to give of a sort of radiant aura
"Cough!" She coughed up a mouthfull of blood from the injure but before she could even speak.
*SLING*
Lazarus chopped off her head cleanly from her shoulders.
