The ship descended onto the landing pad of the New York branch of UNSC headquarters, but no one exited. It was here merely to remain close to where Adam would be.
Adam had used the Mind Gem to locate Blade, then using the Space Gem to teleport both him and Yelena near the area.
Just outside a meat processing and storage facility at night, Adam and Yelena watched a lone figure in a black leather trench coat enter the warehouse.
"Aren't we going to follow? And is he really wearing sunglasses at night?" Yelena asked curiously.
"Not yet, and don't diss the glasses. The glasses make the man." Adam turned as he used the Reality Gem to create his own set of shades.
"Men and their logic, you do know most everyone will only be looking at you waiting for you to walk into something right? It's not cause they think your cool." Yelena retorted with a single raised eyebrow.
"Yeah, whatever, and don't give me the Rock look. You just don't smell what I'm cooking. Let's go, we will get all the stragglers."
Adam then brought out duel Razor's Edge guns, this was another Forerunner weapon that was energy based, it had been modified to fire Metastable UV energy shards.
Razor's Edge was a variant of the Z-130 DEAW, or Direct Energy Automatic Weapon, it was dark grey with orange and turquoise stripes on the body and grip.
It could fire 420 rounds per minute and was effective close to medium range, although Adam didn't require guns now that he had become host to Spectre as well as having the Infinity Gems, it was what he was most comfortable with.
Why change what works? That didn't mean he wasn't using the gems, in fact he was using Spectre's abilities with the gems to modify the weapons not just in his hands, but also Yelena's.
He modified them so that should they hit an innocent human, they would not harm them, but if they were sinners then it would kill them all the same. Their sins also had to warrent death, if it was petty crimes and such they would be hurt but not killed.
Both Adam and Yelena proceeded into the warehouse a few minutes behind Blade, whatever vampires that ran off after Blade begins his attack, they would deal with.
As they made their way inside, Blade had shown up to the party going on under the warehouse.
The vampires had set up a techno rave club underneath, this would allow them to bring humans they lured into the club, feed off them and easily dispose of the body.
By the time Blade made it down, blood was everywhere, the vampires had set up sprinklers in the roof that would pour blood down on themselves, which would set off the feeding frenzy, any human within would be attacked and devoured.
However, this time Blade made it in time, the several humans that were lured into the club were just starting to get attacked, but once Blade showed up, the vampires froze. The attacks along with the music stopped abruptly.
The whole club went dead silent, all that could be heard were the screams of the humans who had realized they were surrounded by vampires, they quickly made an escape, as they passed Blade they froze for a moment, but seeing he didn't stop them they ran away as fast as possible.
The vampires whispered among themselves, trying to build up their courage since they knew who the black man in dark sunglasses and trenchcoat was. He wore a tactical vest, and looked unarmed, except for the sword handle sticking out from behind him, but he was far from unarmed.
Right when the first vampire made its move a Benelli M3 Super 90 pump action shotgun with a pistol grip, modified to fire silver stakes as well as regular ammo, appeared in his hands.
Blade fired, instantly killing the vampire that moved in, its body instantly burning up leaving nothing but a pile of ashes. Instantly this set off the rest of the vampires. Many ran away, not wanting to be killed by the infamous Daywalker.
But quite a few wanted to try their luck, if they could kill the Daywalker, they would gain renown within the vampire community. This was a big mistake, Blade had all their strengths and none of their weaknesses save for one, the thirst for blood.
He was not only just as fast and strong as them, he was very well trained in martial arts and swordsmanship, so this made him slightly faster, stronger and more agile then most all vampires.
He was able to easily kill one after another, when the vampires saw that his shotgun, which had killed multiple vampires ran out of ammo they took it as a sign to take their chance.
But to their dismay Blade suddenly pulled out his modified MAC-11, it was his go to gun and was considered his "hero gun". It fired silver coated bullets at 1200 rounds per minute, it would empty a 32 round clip in two seconds flat if you held the trigger.
Many say this is a drawback of the gun, but that would only be true for a regular human. Blade was far from human, he was able to not waste ammo like a regular human firing it would.
He had faster reflexes and reaction time, plus he had the strength to not be effected by the kick from the gun firing.
As Blade cleared thru the vampires looking for his real target, he knew Deacon Frost was here with his crew, Adam and Yelena was upstairs clearing the vampires who Blade let escape with ease.
Seeing how well Adam's Razor's Edge was doing, she switched from the Loathsome Thing rifle to match his. She didn't like that he was getting way more kills than her.
"You better give me the data on all these awesome guns. I had no idea we even had these." Yelena replied with a pout.
"These are only good in certain circumstances, the usual projectile weapons are more than enough unless they have an energy shield. Only reason I have been using these lately is they are perfect for vampires since they are modified to fire sunlight. But sure, I'll have Eve send over the available weaponry." Adam responded.
"Fine. Then I will admit you do look kinda cool with those sunglasses on, just a little. But its only cause of the guns. Any other time, just stupid."
"Don't let Blade hear you say that." Adam responded as he took out a large group of vampires that turned a corner.
They made their way deeper, when they got to the club Yelena looked at all the blood and scrunched her brow. She saw a large white banner hanging where the DJ was.
"Now this is just sick. Bloodbath? How original."
"Well vampires aren't exactly known for their originality, they usually just attach blood to everything. Blood god, blood bank, blood farm, blood supremacy, blood devil, it goes on and on. Lets go, we are going to go get Deacon just before he locks himself away."
"Wait, did you say blood banks?" Yelena froze.
"Yea, you didn't know that vampires set up blood banks so they could get free blood from people? I mean sure some of it goes into circulation to the hospitals, but the vast majority is drank by them."
"What bastards, I have donated blood many times thinking I was helping people. I'm pissed now." Yelena shivered at the thought that somewhere out there some vampire was drinking her and her sisters blood.
She made a mental note to tell her sisters and never donate again, unless she found one not run by vampires, if there were any that weren't.
"What about the rest of these vampires? Did we get them all?"
Adam just shook his head, "Most of them, Deacon isn't here, he left for a safe house, we are going to get him and his toy, Blade's mother, and bring them to Blade. It will not only give us real negotiating power with him, since he isn't a very trusting person same as his partner Whistler, but we also stop the summoning of Blood God all in one."
Adam then used the Space gem to teleport them inside a white room, in the center of the room lay a large white coffin the size of a king size bed. The top portion had white chains attached to the four corners that came from four holes in the ceiling.
Yelena looked around the room and released a sigh, "A coffin bed? How cliche."
Adam just shrugged, "I told you, vampires aren't known for their originality. Don't kill her, capture, she and Deacon are gifts for our friend."
The beds lid began to slowly rise, first revealing blood red colored silk sheets, then a beautiful naked black woman sprawled seductively on the bed.
This was Vanessa Brooks, she was bitten by Deacon Frost back in the late 1960s while she was pregnant with Blade. This is what made Blade into half vampire half human, she was thought dead but she actually was turned into a vampire.
As she turned her body began to reject the baby inside her, so while at the hospital from the bite, she immediately went into labor. Seeing her flatlining the hospital performed a c-section and removed Blade from her womb.
Deacon came for her later and brainwashed her, turning her into his little toy, she became completely loyal to him, doing whatever he wanted.
She went as far as turning against Blade, even after she found out that he was her own son, it didn't matter to her.
As soon as Vanessa opened her eyes, she was expecting to see Deacon, but instead she saw a large man and a woman she didn't know. She immediately attacked, this was only Deacon's place, only he was allowed to bring others in, which he regularly did.
Yelena was quick, she dodged to the side and unloaded a hook that smashed ito Vanessa's face with a crunch. As Vanessa stumbled back Yelena did a front flip, wrapping her legs around Vanessas head and after planting her hands on the ground she twisted her body, snapping the woman's neck, temporarily paralyzing her from the neck down. She also used the twist to throw her against the wall, Vanessa's body crumpled to the ground immediately.
"Get some clothes on bitch." Yelena growled then looked to see if Adam was checking her out.
Adam luckily wasn't, he was watching Deacon Frost walking into the building and heading to them. He disappeared from the room, leaving Yelena alone with the now paralyzed vampire, and appeared behind Deacon.
"Boo." Aden said startling Deacon who immediately attacked.
Deacon Frost was an old vampire, the older a vampire was, the stronger they were. His moves were like lighting, but Adam was even faster. He moved his head to the side dodging the fist, he then slid to the left, under the arm and spun behind him, Adam punched right onto Deacons spine in the middle of his back.
A sicking pop echoed through the room, followed by a scream of pain, Deacon fell to the ground, he couldn't feel his legs.
Deacon turned over and used his hands to try to use his super strength to propel himself further backward to give himself time to heal, he also wanted to get a look at who was attacking him.
He was shocked that not only did the man dodge his attack, but his strength was even more terrifying. Deacon was extremely durable due to his age, so he could walk away easily from being hit with a car even at highway speeds.
He would show external damage, but his bones wouldn't break, but the man in front of him easily broke his bones. He then noticed something on the man fist, four protruding metal spikes.
He scoffed at Adam, thinking the man foolish since they weren't made of silver. Little did he know that this metal was worse than silver, they were made from Carbonadium.
Carbonadium was a radioactive metal that temporarily disabled any healing factor, it could kill Wolverine permanently if he was stabbed in the heart and it was left in his body. It could kill Sabretooth and Omega Red with ease.
Deacon didn't realize something was wrong until after a few moments and his spine didn't reattach.
"Finally realizing it, eh? Yea you won't be healing for a while, what would've only taken you a few seconds to heal, will now take a few hours to heal. I knew you had an uncanny healing factor, so are you going to give up or do I need to break your neck like we did your girl inside?" Adam said with a smile.
"Who are you? What do you want?" Deacon growled trying to put on a strong front, but in reality he was completely terrified. Never has he heard of a metal that stopped healing factors.
Not only that but the man not only knew him, but was able to get inside his daytime safe house, which should have been impossible unless he himself let them in or out. Not even Vanessa would be able to leave the room without him letting her out.
"I'm no one in particular, just your everyday delivery man. Someone has a killer hard on to find you, pun intended, and I'm lookin to use you as a bargaining chip. Well you and Vanessa that is." Adam walking over to Deacon slowly.
"I work for the high council, your making a big mistake." Deacon began to panic, he had plans, he was almost there. Just a few more days and he would have the cypher needed to decode the ritual to summon the Blood God.
"I'll pay whatever you want, money? Women? Immortality, your human, I can smell it. I can turn you into an immortal, you would stay young forever." Deacon tried to bribe his way out.
"No thanks, not needed. Eve, open the safe room, we need to get going. Our friend should be heading to his base from the hospital with Karen Johnson by now." Adam spoke and to Deacons surprise the security door began to open without him even doing anything.
Adam grabbed Deacon by the back of the neck and picked him up with one hand, once the door fully opened, Yelena walked out carrying Vanessa who looked like she wore a makeshift poncho.
Yelena had used the red silk sheet from the bed and cut a hole in the middle, poked Vanessa's head thru it, and that was it. Adam looked at her strangely, she really put some effort into clothing the woman.
"What? I didn't see a dresser or even a box with any clothes. It wouldn't be polite to bring the man his mother when she's naked, we would probably scar him for life. Why pay for a lifetime of therapy sessions when we can avoid it and have her not be naked in the first place." Yelena said with a shrug.
"That's....actually a valid argument. Point taken. Let's go meet the dynamic duo."
