Mere Humans with powered combat space suits could now fight Vampires. Advances in Armor and materials had turned lead bullets into pellet guns! Now high powered blasters and Laser Swords were needed for up close and gruesome slaughter... Basically bringing thousands of  years of advancement back to the times of Black Powder, Muskets, Swords and Magic! only this time it was high powered laser weapons, swords and Space Ships.<br/><br/><br/>----<br/><br/><br/>High Lord General  Xander Cortez, loomed easily over six foot five but with his cold pitch black orbs and wide shoulders, amplified by his bronze greco-roman styled armor of his space suit and his dark red cloak that flowed behind him he might as well have been nine foot tall to the officers who sat at the table watching him pace back and forth.<br/><br/>"Play it again!" he commanded.<br/><br/>"As you command, High Lord General," replied a meek voice from the dark corner of the room, and once again Lt Serres started from the beginning.  "As we saw before, apparently the Destroyer Red Requiem was out on patrol when they attempted to pursue a pod of Ghost Dragons migrating through space.... that white flash is where they jumped, sometimes they are also called Warp Dragons for this novel ability.... this behavior is normal, the dead Worp dragons we find have very little protection, their only advantage is that somehow they know how to jam our sensors...it was by mere luck that we even spotted them at a distance....<br/><br/>"And you are saying that these fragile Ghost Dragons......are the same as the one that Attacked The Requiem?"  Cortez Demanded.<br/><br/>"Exactly the same according to our analysis.... this is a picture of what we normally in counter," he announced put several dead remains of the ice dragon corpses out on laboratory tables....  each had smooth vulnerable pearly white scales, and the bristles on his back, where malleable soft fuzzy white velvet... much like the velvet on deer antlers. "Some are small as cats, others not much bigger than single seated pod racer or a horse..." He announced then the Hologram image was switched ....<br/><br/>"This is what Attacked the Ship.... we have come to believe...eventually perhaps after hundred or thousands of years their scales turn to armor plates and their soft malleable velvet bristles turn to spikes.<br/>"<br/>DRAGON THAT ATTACKED<br/><a class="postlink" href="http://www.amazingwallpaperz.com/wp-content/uploads/Ice-Dragon-High-Quality-Wallpapers-450x450.jpg">[ img ]</a><br/><br/><br/>General Cortez arched his brow..."So this thing, This Giant Ghost Creature, Flee right up to one of my ships... without any heat signature, and Our Energy Fields didn't even faze it?'  He remarked in cool calm calculating tone.<br/><br/>"Yes High Lord General... no one even new it was there until it flew inside"<br/><br/>General Cortez frowned, "Regardless of its abilities to hide... That ship is not made out of wax! ....How?..... Where did it get into the ship?"<br/><br/>"The Hangar Doors where open to allow our fighter craft to land.... so it pretty much walked or flew right in...." Lt Serres explained and the image of the open Hangar door was presented.<br/><br/><br/><a class="postlink" href="https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/51/0f/02/510f028aa4842fdade44cbe2e445ca28.jpg">[ img ]</a><br/><br/>Cortez tilted his head, his cold pitch black orbs focused on the project imaged and contemplated for a long moment....<br/><br/>"So it first out maneuvered our fighters.....and then It... it .... it just walked in...so you are saying, at this very moment, with our current advanced technology! We wouldn't know if one these was nesting on the command bridge!"  Cortez Exploded!<br/><br/>"Highly unlikely! But it could be possible to latch on to our ships to for a free ride, sir!"<br/><br/>"And that big one....that one ripped through three levels, crippled one of my Destroyers and killed over 200 crew members?"<br/><br/>"Yes...but fortunately to Killed the Dragon and saved the ship." Lt Serres announced.<br/><br/>Cortez turned away from the screen and shook his head in disgust, "A pity," he sighed in disappointment.<br/><br/>Lt Serres lowered head mournfully,  "Yes... such high casualties, this was by no means a victory," He acknowledged, obviously feeling guilty for trying to twist the narrative into a positive.<br/><br/>Cortez paused and then let out a slow calloused dry chuckle, "A Pity, they failed in capturing it, Alive!" he clarified... this caused a small stir of dismay and disapproval from the captains and officers who had gathered around...<br/><br/>"But High Lord General! Such a creature would be impossible to capture alive! We were lucky the entire ship would have been lost!" Exploded one the ship's Captains.<br/><br/>But Cortez wasn't phased in the slightest.<br/><br/>"Then we find a young one, something that can be broken, molded and trained to obey commands.... With such a creature our prowess in combat would be unmatched! A single rider would be able to take down an entire battle ships... maybe even entire fleets!"<br/><br/>"How is that possible? We have only found dead Worp dragons! this could take hundreds of years!" Protested another who was sitting on a table.<br/><br/><br/>"Then I will set loose the Norna, to hunt them!" Cortez declared and held up three glowing blue incandescent viles of blood.....<br/><br/>"The Norna!....The Norna would be useless! We would need blood from a living Worp Dragon! Not a dead one! Such things should not be squandered on those half breeds!" Protested One.<br/><br/>"One vile is worth more than more than average annual fighter pilot's salary!"  exploded one of the officers in dismay.<br/><br/>"Such things should only go to pure vampiric Lords! "  Sneared another.<br/><br/>Cortez smiled, "As such a Lord myself, I can give it to the Blood Hunter I choose," he declared, "Send in (( Officer  Name of your Character ))"<br/><br/>"You are going to give those to her! She has served under my commanded for a hundred years! Five times she has been captured by the Drow! She is reckless! Insubordinate! And...."<br/><br/>"And she has nearly always escaped without your assistance...but most importantly, no matter how long she is gone, she has never come back empty handed... unlike you,"   Cortez corrected him.  "And that is why, I am going to be overseeing the command of your ship... I personally will be leading this expedition, and you will be re-assigned to terrestrial patrols," he informed him.<br/><br/>---<br/><br/>At that moment the doors opened, and General Cortez  turned to face the Norna Female Blood Hunter as she entered the dimly lit strategy room.<br/><br/>Ingoring the former captain Wilkes who was silently sitting in his chair fuming in rage,  Cortez went on to inform the Blood Hunter of the new changes in order. "I will be commanding of your vessel that you are currently serving on," Genaral Cortez declared,   "You have been tasked to track down and capture a living Worp Dragon," he informed her, and then tossed them one by one in rapid succession into the air... although he was not concerned about the Blood Tracker's dexterity ... they of course were not normal glass so even if she did not catch them all, they would be no concern of them breaking.<br/><br/><a class="postlink" href="https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/16/33/43/1633435188c35e0c2ceda0cf31290a47.jpg">[ img ]</a><br/><br/><br/>"I know you are a Norna, I know you do not need blood to live... but heed my instructions carefully...<br/><br/>Only take a single Drop on your tongue at time every other day or as few times times as you can fight the thirst....  Once you taste it this blood... you may not starve... but you will thirst..... you will need and crave its power, more and more ... you have been given three vials ... eventually you will run out, and there is but only one antidote," Cortez declared.  "You will need a new source...a living source... a living dragon to sustain your cravings.....or....or  eventually ... you will go mad... perhaps you will not starve Norna like other vampires...but you will go mad, and I will not take pity on you.... you will suffer until you complete the hunt and bring back a living worp dragon..." General Cortez explained in low somber tone, "IF you succeed, I will make you into one of my generals! IF you don't... I will jettison you out with the rubbish...as that is all you will good for. I will be boarding soon within the hour.... gather what you need for the hunt! Weapons, gear, even soldiers and pilots to assist you... I give access to it all... remember...once you drink the last vile...you won't get another," he declared...................<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>=======<br/><span style="color: #00FF00"><span style="font-size: 150%; line-height: 116%;">THE HUNT BEGINS </span></span><br/>============<br/><br/><br/>Destroyer<br/><a class="postlink" href="http://images4.alphacoders.com/787/thumb-350-78756.jpg">[ img ]</a><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>---------------------------------<br/><br/><span style="color: #00FF00">One Year Later...................</span><br/><br/>Approximately one year later out in deep space.... nothing... there has been so sign or sighting of any Worp Dragon.

The silver glitter made his now white skin sparkle beneath the bright spotlight. It was his first gig at the secretive vampire getaway... however snow wasn't frightened one bit!  He knew he was far too valuable to his master to risk being so much as scratched!<br/><br/>Many of the prior performers had too be prodded and coerced to entertain the high rolling nocturnal patrons. Snow however was loving the attention he was getting and he playfully twirled the long silver leash around as jumped off the stage and began to tease and intermingle with his sanguine audience.<br/><br/>Once the song by "Type O Negative" ended.<br/><br/>Snow snatched up a glass of blood from a near by table and gave the lovely vampiress a playful wink! he flung the still freshly poured blood into the audience! but instead of ruining expensive clothes and suits it the blood floated down in beautiful crimson red snow flakes!<br/><br/>But the show wasn't over! Snow leapt up onto another round table and confiscated another two goblet of blood... but this time instead of making it snow, he poured it out and it became a shimmering red violin! Like wise the next glass of blood he scooped crystalized into a long shimmering red bow!<br/><br/>Although there was no applause, Snow turned every which way to observe and bask in their hungry gazes, teasing them with his glistening topless body... even his long flowing shimmering while  silk harem style pants were filled with slits allowing an excellent tantalizing view of his strong sculpted diamond shaped calfs as he nimbly swayed side to side... getting ready to play the sparkling crimson red violin. Normally he might've thought the blood was a little gruesome, but he was loving the attention so much he couldn't help but stir them up even more.... he was the only one they couldn't touch! Which made them all the more crazed.<br/><br/><br/>CLUB<br/><a class="postlink" href="http://s3-media2.ak.yelpcdn.com/bphoto/fooCFJU4JctJi5GmDTMu-Q/l.jpg">[ img ]</a><br/><br/><br/>Snow swayed gently to the rhythm listing this way and that, completely emersed into the music. He smiled again, cracking his blue eyes open watching the vampires as he weaved in and out of the musical notes. Then with he switched songs going to a more quicker aggressive sound... for this song, Nathan stood up as he couldn't stay still for it...The music wove in and out of him, every fiber of his body to sing it. His heart pounded with rapid flutters of excitement...<br/><br/>Snow leapt onto another table and he grinned at another beautiful female vampiress.<br/><br/>The song he was playing now, was same solo Lestat had played for Queen Akasha in the movie  "The Queen of the Damned" ... he watched to see if she showed any signs of amusement or flattery at possibly at the connection or even if she noticed at all as it was a bit of an older movie.<br/><br/><object height="360" width="640"><param name="movie" value="https://www.youtube.com/v/T3XQ3EWdKkM"/><param name="wmode" value="transparent"/><embed height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/v/T3XQ3EWdKkM" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="640" wmode="transparent"/></object><br/><br/>Snow finished with a flourish, his white skin and snow white hair might have given him an wintery appearance, but warmth radiated off him as he smiled both from spiritually and literally as his skin glowed with the heat generated from the exertion... he might have not have been jumping around and dancing like lyndssy stirling, but he been moving and had put a lot concentration in music, which made him feel wonderfully alive!<br/><br/>Finished the sparkling red violin disappeared into a cloud of red mist!  Snow leaned in giving the beautiful  vampiress a passion kiss...however just as he pulled back he gasped in surprise as she had cut his bottom lip with her fang!  Snow glanced back at her and her gaze met his and he knew by her expression that she had tasted him....he  blushed and quickly  he put his hand up to hide the glowing trickle of blood pulling down his chin. It had been a quite the deep cut and now he too could taste his own warm blood inside his mouth....<br/><br/>--<br/><br/>Snow couldn't remember having more fun in his life! The Young Worp Dragon had been captured at a very young age.  So far no one has been able to figure out what he is. Many would guess some sort of fae or elf or at least mix as he doesn't have the pointed ears.  So far Snow has kept his true dragon form a secret... which unfortunately meant he had never gotten to learn how to fly.... but things were so exciting at the space station that he really never thought about too much.<br/><br/>Fortunately there had not ever the need to run away. Due to his wonderful magical and musical abilities he has been able to prove to be extremely valuable to his various masters over the years all of which made certain to keep him well taken care off.....  tonight however was a little strange.<br/><br/>Usually his master would have a conniption fit if he had saw how close and friendly he was getting with the vampires... but he had said and done nothing. However when Snow went back behind stage searching his master praise... he found the drow... dead... his eyes bugged out and staring at him lifelessly.<br/><br/>Snow gasped in horror ... and then he stiffened, the sudden sensation that he wasn't alone in the room began to creep in and he instinctively began searching for somewhere to run.... but he didn't know where...suddenly flirting with vampires didn't seem so like so much fun anymore...
