What wasn't as expected were the feathers which also erupted from the point of impact, filling the air. A body fell to the ground, but it wasn't Sark. As soon as the shot had connected, the figure in front of Leske changed into one of the servers from the Whooters, though now conspicuously lacking the owl bits.<br/><br/>Laughing, Sark emerged from a nearby alleyway. "I had a feeling that bringing one of them would be a good idea. I'm glad that I went through the trouble it took to make that disgusting creature resemble my beautiful form." He snapped his fingers and dozens of Stormfront's citizens began pouring out of buildings and alleys, all having been converted to vampire minions. They swarmed Leske, clawing at him and tring to sink their teeth into him.<br/><br/>Sark pulled up a conveniently-placed outdoor chair and took a seat. Assuming a relaxed posture he commented, "I certainly hope you've got more of those magic bullets with you, Leske-boy; You're going to need them."<br/><br/><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: bold">&lt;&gt;&lt;&gt;&lt;&gt;&lt;&gt;&lt;&gt;&lt;&gt;&lt;&gt;&lt;&gt;&lt;&gt;&lt;&gt;&lt;&gt;&lt;&gt;&lt;&gt;&lt;&gt;&lt;&gt;&lt;&gt;&lt;&gt;&lt;&gt;&lt;&gt;&lt;&gt;&lt;&gt;&lt;&gt;</span></div><br/><br/>Shortly after Scarlet finished her healing, Cale opened his eyes and sat up. He looked at his savior and opened his mouth to speak, but his eyes grew wide when no sound came out. He clutched his throat and started to gag, before quite literally coughing up a lung.<br/><br/>After staring at the discarded organ for a few moments, he calmly remarked, "Heh, that's probably not good. I should probably have my sister use some of her magic on me the next time I see her." Remembering Scarlet, he gave her a reassuring smile. "Well, it's not that big of a deal. I'm sure you tried your best, right?" The sound of Leske's exploding bullet rippled through the air, catching the squid-rider's attention. "Boopen, are you here?"<br/><br/>"Ye!" There was a rustling from under a nearby pile of rubble, after which several tentacles reached out and started clearing the debris. Once Boopen Jr. had fully uncovered himself, he flopped over to Cale and Scarlet, then latched onto the former's back.<br/><br/>"Thanks for the help," Cale said to the demon, "now if you'll excuse me, I've got a vampire to slay." He stood up, and as he did, several of his joints and bones made a variety of cracking and popping sounds. "...Probably nothing to worry about. Let's go, Boopen!"<br/><br/>"Hokay!" Boopen Jr.'s ink jets flared up, and he flew off with Cale towards the vampire-infested street.
