Who: Dante, Zach, and whoever else wants to join in
When: Evening, after this
Where: The Temple
What: The showdown finally comes to an end

Too many voices. There were just too many voices inside, and out for Dante to deal with. He had to run. Had to feel free even though he was anything but. There was no freedom in this place, and so his frustrations were showing themselves in the most violent of ways.

The lycanthrope carried Zach through the more deserted areas of the town. Back alleys that were nothing like the ones of New York or L.A., but still back alleys with little light, and places to hide. But Dante didn't stop to hide. He just ran, and ran, holding Zach tightly in his clutches. Without realizing it he ran all the way to the Elven temple, a place that would normally be a sanctuary would be the place where Zach would meet his end. It seemed fitting in the werewolf's mind even though it would effectively corner him in one place. Dante just wasn't thinking clearly, but every decision he made was backed-up with a fallacy he created in his mind.

Inside the temple Dante dropped Zach to the floor before he put a heavy foot on his back. He began to revert into a human form if only so he could talk to Zach. He was shirtless when he was done, and wearing a pair of tattered jeans. Dante knelt in front of Zach, and lifted his head by pulling on Zach's hair. "I don't usually kill men," he said with a smirk. "But I'll make an exception for you just like I made an exception for that other guy. What was his name—" He paused, and tapped his chin with his free hand. "Oh right, Simon. You remember Simon, don't you?"

Dione's presence was not lost upon the lycanthrope. He had kept an eye on her even though he hadn't addressed her directly, and it pleased him that she was there in the first place. It showed loyalty, the type of loyalty that Adrienne had not shown but would show in time. It was the only thing Dante needed - time.

He growled in James' direction when he had struck the medium, but he had no time to do anything when Hayate entered the temple. The appearance of the vampire was unexpected, and confusing. Dante had always believed vampires to be repelled by things holy, and there was nothing holier than being on hallowed ground. But the vampire was in the temple walking forward with much difficulty. Perhaps the power of the building was slowing him down.

"This isn't stupidity," he said with pride. "But breaking out of jail is. Did you really think you showing up here would help anything? You look like you can barely stand!" He let out a haughty laugh, and threw his head back in the process. "You're a fool, Hayate," he said. "And you'll just be another witness to Zach's demise."

Hayate kept trudging forward, the slightest of smiles appearing on his face. He ignored everyone around him — everyone but Dante. “*No, it’s not,” Hayate called out quietly, focusing all of his energy on Dante. His power was much different from that of a siren; it made people trust him, believe him. It did not inspire love nor like. It inspired a simple peace to put them at ease, to allow him to get closer when they might put up their guard. He used this magic on Dante as he spoke to the lycanthrope. It would let him get closer than any other person.

“I don’t need to stand that badly. I just need to come closer, and you’ll see . . . it’s all right,” Hayate said, only a few feet away now. It turned into three feet, and then it became two. “I just want to talk, Dante.” The vampire did not stop until he was right in front of Dante’s face. “Like this.”

Hayate moved so swiftly that it was hard to tell what happened next, but his arm shot out and sliced something across Dante’s neck. A gleam of silver caught the light before the vampire grasped Zach in his arms and pulled the boy away from harm as fast as possible. He left it open for the djinni to take down the lycanthrope. The cut delivered to Dante was not deep enough to kill, only enough to wound badly.

If Dylan reacted fast enough, they would not have to worry about anyone else getting hurt.

** Italics indicate he is using his magic while speaking.

Nico was laughing when James hit the girl, but he reigned it in quickly when his conscience got the better of him. As funny as James' reaction was it made the sprite feel guilty all the same. One, the girl was just a girl; and two, she was blind. For all he knew she was trying to defend herself since she couldn't readily see what was going on. Nico cleared his throat, and shrugged one shoulder at James before he knelt down next to the girl. "Hey, are you okay?" All he needed was a positive answer from the girl to make his guilt go away.

He stood back up just in time to see Hayate limping forward toward Danté. He furrowed his brow, and then leaned in toward James. "What the fuck is he-" the sprite began to say before the vampire charged forward so swiftly that the only thing that Nico was able to catch was glint of a blade, and a flash of red coming from the werewolf's neck.

"Holy fuck, what the hell was that!" Nico saw Zach in Hayate's arms, and instinctively he moved forward pulling James with him. "We gotta help!" The injury that Hayate caused the lycanthrope was the opening they needed to get close to Zach, and maybe put an end to the entire ordeal.

FIN.

Dylan took his moment to use his powers on Dante, throwing out his arms and creating a massive wave of water to consume the wounded werewolf. The wave shaped itself into a large, ever-moving ball of water and remained full long enough for Dylan to feel secure about entrapping the dangerous man, long enough to hurt but not kill. He dropped the magical creation to the floor a moment later, water splashing over everyone and everything but leaving Dante defenseless on the ground and choking.

Dylan called the guards to his side to help him with taking the werewolf into custody. Together, they lifted him up and removed him from the temple. Dylan ordered for other guards to take the wounded to the medical pavilion, asking civilians to help where they could, and he ordered for guards to take Hayate there and keep an eye on him as well. Despite the man’s heroic attempt at saving someone’s life, Dylan was furious with the vampire for his escape. They did not need his help in order to solve this problem, but it seemed as if the vampire could not help himself. They would deal with him later once they locked Dante behind bars in the dungeon.

His first concern was the raving werewolf and his rampage across town. Once they had that situation under control, the escaped convict would be next on his list.
