"Yep, she's in there." Iris told the others quickly, flashing the screen, "Though you'd think that someone with this kind of taste in furniture might go for a more traditional home."

BIllnodded. "The comic was a lot better they toned things down a lot for the cartoon." BIll looked up when Iris spoke. "Any sign of whatevers keeping her in there?"

Iris shook her head, "Nope. Just her asleep on a four-poster bed." She twiddled the drones some more to try to catch sight of the pottential aggressor.

"Just say the word, and we go kick ass and get our friend back." Icepick added

"I'm ready when you guys are." Ex replied his fists clenching. "Though there is the million dollar question, is she alone in there or is someone hiding in there?'

"Who knows? Now that we've found Meg, I think we should go find out. It's not like we weren't expecting a fight, anyway." said Painter as he started towards the mouth of the cave, shield at the ready.

As the heroes entered the cave it filled with a thick mist after a moment the mist began to move together coalescing into a figure of a man before he formed into flesh. "She is mine. Leave this place or suffer the consequences." He said in a calm but cold voice.

"Yours, huh? By what right? Meg is her own person, and we're her friends. Either give her back, or prepare to have your teeth kicked in." said Painter, taking a defensive stance. This guy was really creepy, but Painter was going to stand his ground.

[[Forming out of mist? What the... maybe he's like Darren, and just has control over his steam form?]]

Icepick stood ready.

"Meg isn't an animal that you can cage whenever you feel like it. She's a person..her own person.."

  Andy stood at the back, and simply let a deep, rumbling growl sneak out.  The kind of sound that REALLY didn't make promises for fun.

Victoria stayed with Andy, a look of determination on her face. The daughter of Lin would not be captive for much longer.

"It is my right as a vampire Lord to choose my bride. Now leave this place lest you feed my hunger!" THe man Grinned showing large fangs.

"A vampire lord, huh? Well, as a Mage, it's my duty to send your supernatural self packing whenever you start threatening innocents. Meg definitely counts, even if she's not a mundane. So why don't you surrender, or we'll kick your sparkly ass." said Painter, smirking beneath his helmet.

He smiled wider his fangs fully visible then. "Very well, you have sealed your fate." He held out his hands a knife suddenly in either he dashed forward with inhuman speed slashing at Ozzy.

When Vincent dashed foward, Ozzy's newly acquired demonic reflexes kicked in, and he stepped forward, into the attack. As he did, he brought his shield up to deflect the blows, then counter-attacked with a sword thrust at Vincent's shoulder.

"Psh. I've heard that before, Sparkly! You need to come up with some more original lines!"

Icepick dropped the temperature around the vampire's hands, then shot a beam of ice at the undead creature.

Iris stood frozen at a single spot, watching as the vampire attacked. A vampire?! How... well, well, well. She stood there, looking for all the world like a twelve-year-old who was out of her depth.
 {Keep his attention, guys. I'll slip around you guys and go see what I can do about Meg once I'm sure it's okay. Also, I may need to use some flash devices. I'll warn you guys.}

[[Got it, sis. Go get Megs. We'll deal with Count Chocula here.]] replied Ozzy.

Excelsior flew forward at Vincent attempting to slam him into the wall"

Vincent sidestepped the sword thrust, before he could make another move Ex came at him and he duckkec sending ex hurtling over him and into the wall.

As Vincent ducked to dodge Ex's tackle, Painter brought an armored knee up quickly to try and smash Vincent's face, hoping the vampire wasn't quite quick enough to dodge both attacks.

When she was certain that the vampire was ignoring her and being distracted by the heavy rain of blows from the others, Iris used her own inhuman speed and hurried into the cave behind him.

Victoria gestured with her hands, muttering a mystical incantation. A searing ray of what appeared to be fire came forth from her finger at the vampire.

VIncent didn't even grunt from the knee to the face but he screamed and inhuman scream when he was hit by the blast of fire.

Icepick was gratified, seeing that the crazy "mage-chick" was able to at least make the bloodsucker feel pain.

"Pour it on!" he said to Candy as he shot an ice beam at the vampire.
