Reyes and Twiska in the meantime were luring vampires into various traps as Reyes showed how much he's improved. He paused looking at Hybren, as Twiska defended him. "Reyes, focus!"

"Sorry..." Reyes said quietly pushing more vampires into pits.

(oh nvm)

Reyes and Twiska waited with anticipation, Reyes eyeing Hybren with such hatred in his eyes.

(Should ask if Dillon wants to join again.)

Dante continued to glare Alice down a moment more. What a joke, a little girl who thought she could take on his army? “Tech, kill them,” he sneered and turned, heading inside. Hybern grinned, his glare vile, and began barking orders.

Alice looked over the vampires quietly. “They’re feral,” She said sadly. “Don’t hold back, kill them.” She could see it in their eyes, their actions, how Hybern could only control them with his fire, they were feral, starved of blood, reduced to nothing but mindless, blood driven predators. “Remember your orders,” she said, and stepped forward. Her, Apotheosis, and the twins would head for the castle and take out Dante, while the others dealt with Hybern and the new bloods. As she stepped down, Alice ran forward, ripping a new blood’s head clean from its shoulders. As the blood hit the ground, the battle began.

Antigonus was quick to follow Alice, he and Mark to cover Alice’s groups left flank. Mordred and Charlotte to do the same on the right. Reyes and Twiska were left to their traps as they would. Antigonus sunk his teeth into a new blood’s throat, ripping it out, and that was when Hybern’s fires began.

Mordred shielded his face for a moment as fire erupted across the field and his stomach sunk. He looked across the field to Antigonus and nodded. They were the first distraction, to draw his attention away. Mordred looked back at Charlotte briefly, and winked, before running to Hybern with Antigonus.

Twiska nodded at Alice's instructions and looked at Reyes who was still eyeing Hybren. Twiska nudged him and said "Focus on the task at hand"

(we can stick with them incapacitating Hybern, up to you though Equi)
A wall of flame reared up before Antigonus, Mordred nowhere to be seen, but Antignous's own ice rose to meet it, much smaller but enough to cut through. He rushed at Hybern who snarled, but turned and kicked Mordred away as he came from the side. Antigonus lunged at him as Mordred recovered quickly, but Hybern had also been a coven leader. And so the three coven leaders of New York began their battle.

Alice's shadows swept forward in waves, strangling, suffocating, ripping, destroying. Alice wasn't using to much though, killing many by her own hand, as she needed to save her shadows for Dante. She was going into her trance, a necessary thing to fight Dante. As she told Apotheosis the night before, it was imperative they fought with blank minds. If their thoughts were empty, or as empty as they could be, he would have trouble latching onto their consciousness and incapacitating them.

Helen was popping in and out of existence around the field of vampires, four or five falling each time she appeared before she disappeared again. She was keeping an eye on the areas around the twins and Apotheosis, ready to help if need be.

Gabby picked at a stray thread on her blanket absentmindedly. The mansion was empty and quiet as she sat there, alone.

If she can do groups of hundreds back then as a hunter, then surely she could take on the thousands. What a feat it would be! Charlotte waded through the horde of new bloods, leaving a trail of lifeless bodies behind her.

As a new coven leader, Mark would have loved to take a shot at Hybern for destroying the entire coven in a single night. As he took care of the rogues not far from Charlotte, he wondered if some could be saved as new additions. Maybe he'll bring it up when Hybern was defeated first.

Vampires surged around those fighting, their numbers endless. They were ravenous, eyes a deep red as they glared them down. They'd been promised food for victory, and thus the only thing standing between them and what they wanted most were 11 vampires. Mordred and Antigonus were surrounded, facing Hybern on one end, but new bloods coming at them as well. Mordred was breathing heavy through his teeth, blood running over his shoulder as one had bitten him. Metal swung out, decapitating several. He punched Hybern in the jaw, succeeding in hitting him, but Hybern recovered and retaliated quickly.

Helen appeared behind Antigonus, gutting a vampire near clawing his spine, and disappeared again. When she appeared a bit away, she watched Antigonus blasted several away with a jet of ice. He gouged a slice deep in Hybern's arm, and Hybern barked in pain. Fire shot outward.

They were far from the mansion now, maybe a hundred feet. Alice's shadows shot outward and disappeared, the vampires between them and the door simply gone. She ran up and shouldered the doors open. The massive double doors slammed against the walls and she ran in.

Reyes started to click, out of ammo, when a New blood came for him. Twiska reacted by kicking him back away.

Dante was not in the foyer, but that was expected. Alice glanced around her old home quickly, but didn't let her thoughts appear. She headed for the stairs. The throne room then.

Antigonus formed a ball of ice around Hybern, hoping maybe containing the fire to him would hurt him somehow, but the ice just began to melt. "Switch," He said, and he and Mordred fell back, allowing Charlotte and Mark to take their turns at the traitor.

The twins hung back at the moment, not moving forward until it was sure to be clear by having those two move through it first. They wouldn't be of any use to App if they got ambushed, after all.

Apotheosis continued moving forward after Alice, since she would clearly know where to look next better than he.
