Feast of Blood

Building an Empire

A period of time ago this had been Caleb's home. After being under Matilda's will though, he wasn't quite sure how long ago this was. A shell whistled over head, reminding him he was in the middle of a battle. He jumped forwards and took a man in the throat with his gauntlets. Earth had declined Matilda's ultimatum. Caleb couldn't see why, live a life in a world with no war or famine or disease or be taken by force and have this imposed anyway. The nations of the world had responded by launching nuclear weapons at them. They had been safely deactivated of course and one by one the nations of earth fell. They were battling through north America, the last place that still resisted. All the other nations had surrendered after they're militaries were wiped out. The Americans were taking extremely heavy casualties but simply would not give in. Once they took Washington however, they would control the nation. This was only the first planet in Matilda's conquest. She had planes for other planets...even ones in different dimensions.

Landing on a tank Caleb gripped the cannon barrel and crushed it closed. Pulling off the hatch he yanked out the tank crew and hurled them through the air. Jumping off the turret he gripped the tracks and heaved. The tank tilted and then toppled onto it's back with a grinding crunch. Even with Vampiric strength Caleb would not have been able to do that. But his armour and gauntlets greatly augmented his strength. Arcs of greenish blue light overhead announced the firing of Matilda's techno mantic artillery. It was operated by volunteers from different countries who had decided to join Matilda's army. Bright explosions announced the destruction of their targets.

*Glade!* Caleb called. A loud roar and a crash announced the arrival of his salamander. She cam barrelling towards him in a cloud of dust and flying bodies. Caleb vaulted into her saddle and turned her towards a gap in a wall. Clearing the distance and the wall in two giant bounds they came into view of the battle below.

It was taking place in central park, New York City. All the trees had been stripped by fighting and the ground was pockmarked with craters and burns. On one side, the Americans had built hasty fortifications and were now pounding Matilda's forces with artillery and machine gun fire. It's quite hard to kill skeletons that way though. As he watched, Caleb saw the attacking skeletons charge. At their head he could see Jessica and Renamon on their salamanders. Riding down he joined the charge. He soon caught up with Renamon and Jessica, they nodded at him and soon, they had smashed into the American defensive wall, breaking through it and tearing into the mass of soldiers beyond. Jumping off their saddles, the three chosen lay about them, carving a bloody path through the panicking throng. Renamon's long thin blade flashed so fast it was impossible to follow, and Jessica wielded a slender staff, cracking bones and blasting men with magic. Caleb simply steamrollered through them, tossing men aside and ripping limbs. A great cry was heard as the skeletons joined the fray. The American soldiers began to retreat but where cut off by more skeletons and were penned in.

"Surrender now and we shall not kill you!" Renamon called to them "If you do not, we shall leave none alive!"

The soldiers looked around at one another, then, one by one, their weapons hit the ground.

"What I don't understand is how they can go outside in the daytime."

Caleb smiled when he heard this. His, Renamon's, and Jessica's forces had taken up camp in New York in preparation for the push to Washington. He was staying in the penthouse suite of the Gramercy Park hotel, two men stood on guard outside the door.

"What do you mean?." The other said

"The guy s in white armour are supposed to be vampires yes?"

"That's what sarge said."

"Then how can they go outside in daylight?"

Caleb's smile widened, he walked into the bedroom where Glade was curled up on the large bed. Being the size of a horse now, the legs had naturally snapped off as soon as she jumped on it. Caleb's armour was piled in a dirty heap in a corner with a male cat with a green collar on, cleaning it. Caleb was wearing a fluffy dressing gown with the hotels initials embroidered on the right breast.

"What are you smiling about?" she asked

"Oh nothing, I just...hey...did you just speak?"

"Y-esss...I do that you know."

"But not with your mind! You're speaking with your mouth!"

"I know." Glade said smugly "Mummy taught us how."

Caleb laughed, although glade was only half a year old, she was like an adult...most of the time. All of the Chosen's Salamander's called Lady Jane "Mummy". Caleb concluded that that was fine simply because the massive reptile was their mother.

Caleb slid onto the bed next to his friend and kissed her on her saurian snout.

*Can we still use the mind link?* he asked

*Of course you sexy male.* Glade replied, licking his face.

"Get off!"

Matilda stood in her tower, a glowing rotating map of the earth hovering in front of her. She had already sent scouts to other solar systems in the milky way galaxy. Even though she was old and very knowledgeable, not even she knew if life existed elsewhere in the galaxy. Turning her attention back to the globe, she looked to America, tapping the country with a finger. It suddenly enlarged and showed where her forces were and what they had taken. Caleb, Renamon and Jessica were poised to take Washington she noted with a pleased smile. Goliath and Shrekkar were consolidating their hold on the southern states (much to Shrekkar's approval) and the rest of the Chosen were spread out over the world, eliminating any resistance and consolidating their hold over the planet. All in all, this campaign was going very well indeed.

Renamon approached Caleb's door and opened it after the guards moved aside. Going straight to the bedroom she found Caleb with his fangs sunk deep into the neck of a cat. Caleb's eyes were closed and the feline's eyes were clouded, he had a look of utter bliss on his face and his tail slowly wagged back and forth on the bed. Caleb opened his eyes and winked at Renamon. Releasing the cat he stood up adjusting his dressing gown. The feline flopped onto the bed with a murr. Renamon could see that his tail hole glistened slightly.

"Sorry...he was far too cute." Caleb said with a grin. "So what can I help you with?"

"Mistress says that we are to increase our efforts to take Washington. We move out in an hour."

"Don't I get a kiss first?" Caleb asked mockingly

Renamon glared at him and stalked out.

"You really know how to upset her don't you?" Glade said coming in from the living room.

Caleb smiled and walked into the bedroom to get his armour and gauntlets. The cat was curled up on the bed, eyes closed, sleeping soundly. Caleb stroked the cats head before donning his armour and gauntlets and walking out of the room.

*

A huge explosions shook the ground beneath their feet. The Americans were using everything they had to stop Matilda's army from taking Washington. Brutal hand to hand fighting had broken out in the streets with heavy casualties on both sides. Another explosion and the crash of masonry announced the collapse of a building. Caleb and Glade were stuck on the lawns in front of the Whitehouse battling fiercely. Glade bit with her powerful jaws and render flesh with her equally powerful claws. Caleb used his bladed gauntlets in the same way, slicing through bone and sinew. His Great strength came in handy for ripping through several people at a time, and glades magical hide was proof against most projectiles. With a great sweep of his arms Caleb cleared a space around him long enough to launch himself into the air and land on Glade's back. Attached to her saddle was a long katana. More a nodachi than a katana (the blade wasn't as thick though) it had been a gift from Matilda after he single handedly stormed a large military base and took it with no casualties. The blades on his gauntlets folded over the tops of his fingers as he gripped the hilt and drew the blade. Jumping back into the fray he moved differently now. Before he smashed about him with the gauntlets. Now he moved with grace and elegance. Slicing men down all around him. He raised his free hand and sent streamers of turquoise energy into the throng of now panicking soldiers. His attack made flesh run like water until there were only skeletons left.

The fighting raged all night, and when the sun rose it showed a desolate wasteland. Washington was gone. In it's place was a sea of rubble and twisted steel. The remains of tanks an vehicles littered the scene as did bodies. Piles of bones showed where skeletons had been smashed apart. Small fires burned everywhere. Caleb drew his sword from the last soldier who had resisted and slumped to the floor. Glade came up to him and nudged him with her nose. Caleb absentmindedly petted it, whilst staring out onto the wasteland.

"So much death...all for one little world...my home..."

Glade licked his face and nuzzled him.

"Not anymore...You belong with Matilda and the rest. Your destiny is with them now." She whispered.

"That's very Zen of you." Caleb said with a watery smile. Getting to his feet he brushed his armour down and vaulted onto Glade's back.

"Take us home Glade." He said

Turning her back on the scene before them, Glade broke into a run. The collar she wore glowed brightly and they both vanished.

They arrived with a flash, back in Matilda's dimension jumping palace. It was a marvel of technomancy, being able to appear in all the dimensions at once. They appeared in the huge battle room, The room was the size of several cathedrals and was filled with all manner of things. Legions of soldiers that had been conscripted were armouring up for the next invasion and Great War machines were rumbling out of shimmering portals that led to other parts of the palace. Glade trotted through one of the portals and they reappeared in a smaller room lined with weapons and armour for the chosen. Several naked slaves were in there, wearing green collars. The collars made the slaves Will-less, and the colours identified which area they worked in. All the Will-less slaves had volunteered for this though, even the ones in the palace proper, where Matilda and the chosen lived. The Slaves with the gold collars were exclusively in the palace proper whilst the ones with green collars, for example, worked in the militarised sections. Pulling his torso armour off he placed it on the rack in front of him as the slaves unbuckled Glades armour. Once they were free they headed through a door and emerged into the immaculate palace. The floor covered in cushions and gold collared slaves all around. Caleb drew in a deep breath, savouring the smells of the different species and their constant love making. He and Glade walked through the slaves and headed to the Chosen's chambers.

Arriving in the chambers, Caleb slipped on a long silk robe that was practically transparent and a light purple. His long metallic purple hair shone in the light and his golden collar with the red gem glittered. He sighed and sank to the cushions laying full length with his robe open. Glade came over and plopped herself on top of him. Weighing as much as a carthorse she would have crushed him, but he was a vampire, so he simply enjoyed the feeling of her soft cool belly scales against his naked body. Wrapping his arms around her neck he kissed her large snout. Murmuring softly Glade licked his face.

"Wait..." Caleb said "I must feed first." Glade rolled off him and Caleb sat up, whistling for a slave. A pretty Saurian came through the door at the other end of the room. As she approached Caleb reached up to her and drew her down so that he was on top of her. She gave a small, shuddering sigh as he bit into her soft scaly flesh. Arching her back against his pale, hairless body, she moaned with pleasure. Drinking deep of her rich blood, Caleb felt his body come alive with energy. Releasing the Female Caleb licked blood off his lips as the Saurians neck wound healed from the spell in her collar. Picking her up Caleb took her to a secluded corner of the room and laid her down, she was far to tasty to lose so quickly. The others had to try her.

Without turning Caleb jumped backwards and flipped in the air. Landing quite literally like a feather next to Glade.

"So...where are we?" he said with a smile, his white skin almost glowing from the recent feeding.

"I believe we were just about to k...mmmph!"

Caleb had locked his lips with Glade's and silenced her speech. IT was an odd sight seeing Caleb and Glade kiss, Glade's head was so much bigger than Caleb's. But they managed it, Glade rolling onto her back and hugging Caleb with her strong arms. Caleb broke the kiss and licked her cheek.

"You always did taste nice." He said with a smile, slipping down her body towards her slits. Glade giggled with anticipation and twitched her legs open slightly wider. Caleb opened his mouth...

*No time for that now Caleb, There is yet more work to be done.*

Caleb screwed up his eyes "God Dammit!" he swore and sat up. Glade rolled over and looked at him.

"What is it?" she asked, looking disappointed

"Mistress just told me we still have work to do."

"God Dammit!" Glade swore

*

Claudia looked up as Caleb walked into the "War Room". It was a large room (circular of course) that was filled with computer banks and arcane machines with magic glowing inside them. Claudia was sitting at one of the computers, Goliath was slotting a large glowing orb into place above her head.

"What's the matter now? I was just about to have some fun with Glade."

Claudia giggled and turned to her monitor

"Mistress has opened a dimension door to a new...uhhh..."

"Dimension?"

"Yeah, I just didn't want to say 'Dimension' twice in the same sentence."

"Get to the point."

"Apparently, the solar system it opens into is controlled by the 'Terrain Empire'. It seems it's a alternate Earth where Mistress didn't take over. The empire itself controls half the galaxy and is fighting to take the rest of it. Mistress wants ALL of us to go in and take their empire, but make peace with the forces that oppose it."

"Oh this'll be a peace of cake." Caleb sneered

"You think so to?" Goliath said

A great flash of light in the void of space announced the arrival of Matilda's giant fleet through the dimension door. It had appeared in orbit around the edges of the Empires border.

"Get me the emperor." Renamon said. A screen hissed into life in front of where she was standing on the bridge. An old man glared back at her.

"What is the meaning of this outrage!" he snapped

Renamon smiled, Matilda's liaison's where good to get her an audience with the emperor this quick.

"Be quite old man." She said "I am the Herald of my mistress, the Lady Matilda. We are here to crush your empire and take it for our own. You can either surrender voluntarily and avoid unnecessary losses...or you can all die."

"I will never surrender to a usurper such as you..." He was cut off as Reanamon closed the screen

*Caleb, Jessica..." she said to them telepathically *Begin your attack!*

After the first day three planets had already switched sides and the empires enemies had joined forces with Matilda's forces. To Caleb it seemed as if things were moving abnormally fast for an invasion. As he descended in a landing craft he petted Glades nose, and looked around at the men accompanying them. No skeletons this time, they had all been destroyed in the final push against Washington. All the men had been kitted out in advanced armour and weapons. As the craft landed Caleb mounted Glade and drew his sword. Red electricity exploded into life around it as the doors opened and light flooded into the craft.

"You are soldiers in my Mistresses army now!" he cried "Do not disappoint her or me! Forwards!!!" With a dread cry the soldiers charged from the craft lead by Caleb.

Laser fire exploded around them as they swarmed towards the positions taken up by the Empires forces. The dry desert planet was the focus of a fierce battle. In orbit the new "Alliance" of Matilda's fleet and the Alcorian Federation engaged with the Empires fleet. The sky was a mass of weapons fire and burning wreckage. On the ground troops stormed positions, ground was gained and lost. Caleb charged about the battle field upon Glade. Together they gained much ground, Caleb's sword wreaking terrible damage to equipment and troops alike.

At one point in the battle green light had engulfed a unit of men Caleb had been fighting. Jessica had appeared on her oddly blue salamander, Deus, and proceeded to use her magic to decimate more units. Her spells could be seen from all over the battlefield as she fought. Caleb was soon tired and hungry and wishing for the battle to end. He stood apon a small hillock and watched the battle below him, his hands resting on the pommel of his sword. Glade came up to him and nudged him with her nose. She had blood smeared thickly over her face and claws.

"What's the matter?" she asked

"I'm fed up of this fight, I just want toAUGH!" Caleb dropped to the floor clutching his stomach

"Caleb!" Galde cried and ran up to him "What's wrong?! What's happening!?"

"I...don't...knowAARRRGH!" A black corona shimmered into life around Caleb as he screamed in agony.

"What's...Happening to...me?!" He gasped, his eyes clenched shut. Suddenly his eyes snapped open, they were glowing bright crimson, throwing his head back he screamed

"MISSTRESSSS!"

An invisible wall of force exploded out from him, knocking Glade flat and spreading rapidly over the battle field. Jessica looked up from her fight and saw what was happening

"Caleb!" she cried and spurred Deus towards the hillock just as the shockwave reached her, knocking her and Deus flying.

Back on the hill Glade got to her feet and looked at Caleb. He was on his feet to, shoulders hunched, face hidden.

"C-Caleb? What happened?" she asked It was the first time her voice had shaken since she hatched.

A small snigger emanated from Caleb

"Caleb..."

A huge shout of sinister laughter exploded from Caleb and he whipped round. Glade stepped back, her eyes wide with fear. Caleb's face was gaunt and skull like, an insane grin was plastered across his face, his fangs prominent. Eyes glowing a fierce red his, purple hair fell in strands over his face.

"W-what's happened to you!" Glade whimpered

"Why, I believe I have found out what's different about me!" Caleb laughed "I knew I was different from the others, but I didn't know why. But know I do...And I said I was fed up of this battle, so I think I shall end it!!" Laughing maniacally he raised his hands. Red lightning sprang forth, surrounded by a black corona. It tore into the Empires ranks and scoured great gouges in the dry earth. Caleb laughed hysterically as the Empires forces began to flee, chased by the terrible electrical storm

"That's right! Run you little maggots! Run before the glory of my mistress!" He cackled, eyes blazing.

Just at that moment Deus barrelled into his back and bore him to the ground. Glade jumped on top of him and Jessica hugged them all. They vanished in a flash of green light

Matilda strode down the corridors of her palace and into the chambers shared by her chosen. As she opened the door a zig-zagging bolt of electricity hit the wall above her head. Caleb was lying in the middle of the room, still in his armour, being pinned down by Goliath and Tinicus. A green shield surrounded his hands, this was Jessica's attempt to contain his energy blasts. The three Chosen's Salamanders were looking on with worried faces. Glade looked over at Matilda

"What's happening to him!?" she whimpered, tears leaking out of her eyes.

"It seems it is manifesting...but too soon!" Matilda muttered "Let him go, I will deal with him."

The green shield faded and Goliath and Tinicus jumped clear as Matilda approached. Caleb's collar was glowing brightly but it seemed to be having little affect. Raising her hand the collar dimmed and Caleb's armour fell away from his body. No sooner had this happened, Matilda leapt on him, sinking her fangs into his neck. Dropping to his knees, Caleb giggled sinisterly. Suddenly his eyes cleared and he dropped back onto the cushions. Matilda's eyes closed as she sucked on her chosen's blood. She felt his body relax under her as she slowly exerted her will over him. Caleb simply melted under her touch and sighed a contented sigh. Letting go of his neck Matilda laid his head on the cushions and stood.

"Glade, Jessica and Deus, you three will watch him. Tinicus, come with me."

Once they were outside the door Matilda turned to Tinicus.

"Do you know why I chose you?" She asked

"Because I'm good with machines?" Tinicus replied, slightly confused

"Exactly, follow me."

*

Caleb slowly opened his eyes, reluctantly considering how warm he was. Looking around he saw Gade was curled around him, her warm scales feeling good next to his naked body. She shifted and raised her head to look at him.

"What happened?" he asked "What happened to the battle?"

"It's...complicated." Jessica said,, coming into view "You went into what I can only describe as a battle rage and almost completely destroyed their army."

"I...What?"

"Nearly destroyed their army." Glade repeated

"How did I manage that?"

"Mistress will have more answers, but right now you need to feed." Jessica said and snuggled down on the other side of Caleb, with Deus curling round her. So the two vampires were closed in a warm nest of scales. Caleb gently sank his fangs into Jessica's neck and took a long deep draught. Closing her eyes Jessica sighed and relaxed. The warmth from the salamanders was too much even for the vampires, and they were soon fast asleep. The four of them cuddled together.

The next day saw an empire on the verge of collapse. Using Matilda's portal technology, her fleet was able to penetrate deep into the heart of the empire. Renamon stood on the bridge of the flag ship and smiled. A day. One Day! And they had almost crushed this empire! Matilda would be pleased, She thought.

Tinicus gazed up at the network of pipes and needles that adorned the wall. Stepping gingerly over the mass of tubes that ran over the floor.

"You mean you 'Created' Caleb using this machine?" he said

"Yes I did. By infusing his body with vampire blood from all of you I made him stronger. But I also infused his body with the essences of a demon I captured centuries ago. I theorized that this combination would give him an untold amount of power. And it did. Unfortunately I miscalculated the time it would take for this to manifest. It seems that the Demonic essences retained some sort of intelligence and is now living symbiotically with Caleb. I don't know what this means yet, but until I do I will have to keep an eye on him."

"But why did you bring me down here mistress?" Tinicus asked, perplexed.

"Because I want you to try and build a machine that is capable of locking away this demonic essence."

"Locking it away...not removing it?"

"No. As it stands, The power of the demon can come out at any time I need it so that Caleb can access it when he wants to."

"I will try my best...but I cannot guarantee anything."

"I know you'll try your best, you will have as much aid as you need from the slaves. But hurry. There is little time."

Tinicus nodded and matilda left

"I only hope this isn't to late." She whispered

Upstairs Caleb yawned and opened his eyes. He was still cuddled next to Jessica, Glade and Deus. The enclosed space made by the salamander's bodies made him feel warm and still tired. But he wanted to get up. A soft hand touched his shoulder and Jessica pulled him back down.

"Don't get up yet..." she whispered and kissed him on the lips.

Caleb closed his eyes and ran his hands over Jessica's soft warm fur. She murmured into the kiss and stroked his hair. They pressed their bodies against each other. Jessica felt so warm in Caleb's arms. Jessica opened her eyes and gasped as Caleb's hard member slid inside her.

"Y-your so hot!" Caleb gasped as he slid out and back in again. He did it so gently, All Jessica could feel was intense pleasure.

"Ah! C-Caleb...What about G-Glade and...and..."

"Oh...we don't mind." Came glades voice "We'll have our fun with you in a minute."

Caleb smiled and kissed Jessica again, lightly squeezing her furry breasts.

"Ooooo! I don't think...I shall last!" Jessica moaned and then gasped as a powerful orgasm shook her body. Her juices soaked her and Caleb. Hugging him tightly stars danced in front of here eyes as he stroked her long headfur.

"I didn't even get to cum." He said

"Oh you will." Glade said "It's our turn now..."
