Re: Nigeria, Africa.
John nods in reply, then takes off with Murasame.
Before long they had reached the landing zone of the B.S.A.A backup, and we're greeted by a young man who seemed to know John.
"Druitt, good to see you. Who's your friend?"
Murasame might notice that the young man did not seem to be bothered by the fact that he wasn't talking to a human at all, and treated him as if he was just another person who deserved respect.
There was a pause, then a shape moved in front of him, a figure coming into view.
She was strikingly beautiful, even though she appeared to be half plant. Vines grew out of her body, though she didn't seem distressed by this, and walked on two legs. Her hair was a brownish color, and her eyes were as green as a pure emerald. Her features were close to perfection as she stared directly into his own eyes.
"If you truly mean that, then please ... allow me to accompany you. I can help you navigate through the flooded areas infested with crocodiles and garner you safe passage. I will do my best to help you find this man, and take you to where I know he was last. I would be ... indebted to you if you could manage to stop his plans. I know some of it, and if you would give me some time in your company ... I could give you an idea of what your up against."
A single one of her vines reached up to tilt his face to look at her, though he noted she made no threatening moves with them. She seemed sincere enough, if not desperate for his help.
There was a pause from the radio then Chris replied.
"Understood. I'll be there in a few moments to check in with you, but I just got word that John has arrived and brought someone with him. I'm going to meet our new guy right now, will you both be alright for a few minutes longer?"
The woman looked up to Ellen and seemed to tremble. She tried several times to speak, failing. Finally she managed to muster enough voice to speak.
"Save yourself ... Get out of here while you still ... can. Before she ..."
She was cut off by a sudden blur of movement, and suddenly a claw descended upon her, slicing her body neatly in half.
For just a moment the attacker was visible. Covered in blood and a feminine body, but something was wrong.
To begin with, the attacker was completely nude. Her hands ended in sharp claws that made Tesla's looked manicured in comparison. She had very little hair left, just a few strands of brown, limp hair. She stood no taller than Ellen, but was clearly a legitimate threat. She turned and hissed at Ellen, and then suddenly wasn't there.
It would take the vampire a moment to realize that the attacking woman had in fact just CLOAKED, and was probably stalking her right now, preparing to strike. She'd killed the other woman easily, which left Ellen to wonder just what the hell kind of creature this was. It clearly wasn't a plaga infected host, but she didn't seem to be a product of Uroboros either. Unless .... Could there have been a hybrid or a mutation? Either way, the fact remained she had a very dangerous enemy to face, and it could hide until attacking.
