London august 10th 2005
The soldiers stood nervously awaiting the order. Each one knew that in the room below was a madman bent on bringing death to the city. All of them were veterans of Ministry of paranormal investigation missions or MI13 as is was commonly called. This time whoever the danger was bigger, so much bigger in fact that director Stevenson had called in a specialist from outside. They had never met him before today and his detached attitude and uncaring nature had already got their backs up. Dr Darkspring didn't care. In the room below some one was trying to unlock the seal of Amarath and unleash an Outer god upon London. Before they could go in and stop him, the spells protecting the chamber had to be deactivated. After what seemed like hours to the waiting soldiers Dr Darkspring finished. "Ok we can go in" he told captain Clements.
In the chamber below the cultists stood in a circle chanting alien words that hurt the ears and filled the listener with dread. The soldiers crept closer while Dr Darkspring simply walked out into the circle. "Good evening gentleman, fine night for a summoning". The cultists, so engrossed in their ritual hadn't seen him until he was amongst them and leapt with fright at his sudden appearance. Their leader barked angrily at them to continue. "Your too late Darkspring, the ritual is finishing, the seal will open and the crawling lords will cometh". Dr Darkspring laughed. "I don't think so, not without the magic to open the seal and now I've done my job, no amount of chanting you or your boys here do will make the magic in here work for you". The cult leader looked down at the seal of Amerath and saw to his dismay the light within it slowly fade. "By the way I should mention that the ministry has decided you boys are too dangerous to have around and signed the order for your execution". As he spoke, the soldiers opened fire, spraying a hail of bullets into he cultists. The cult leader leapt to the floor and shouted something in the alien tongue of the ritual. A Glow spread over the bodies of the cultists which began to melt and then converge on one another, forming a huge gooey mass. Within seconds it took on solid form, a nightmarish mishmash of body parts with sharp teeth and serrated claws. It swung a fist at Dr Darkspring , but one of the soldiers leapt at him and knocked him out of the way. The other soldiers opened fire, but the creature just ignored the wounds the bullets caused. "Use silver" shouted Dr Darkspring from beneath the soldier who had saved him. "Excuse me" he said politely looking at his savour, but unable to complete his sentence. Corporal Gains smiled back at him as she stood up. Dr Darkspring lay where he was, unable to take his eyes of the Corporal. "Sir, you're starring" she said changing her clip, before turning to fire upon the monster. Leaping to his feet, Dr Darkspring pulled a vial of liquid from his coat pocket. As the soldiers shot the beast, the silver hurting it, Dr Darkspring threw the vial at it. The glass shattered and a cloud of green smoke enveloped the creature. An acrid smell filled the air and the creature fell to the floor unmoving and began to dissolve. "Now" said Dr Darkspring, turning back to were the cult leader had been. "Dammit" he shouted at the now empty space

The Vampire ran, blood dribbling down its face. The human cattle were gaining on it and the bullets they used had already killed the vampire's brother. He looked around panic stricken, desperate for somewhere to hide. Just then Corporal Gains burst from the trees and opened fire. The vampire leapt into the branches as several ultraviolet rounds tore into the tree. "Filthy animal "he shouted leaping at the corporal" know your place" He landed on her, knocking her tot he ground. The corporal struggled to bring her gun to bear, but the vampire was too strong. "Now you die" he hissed. It was the last thing he said. Just as he was about to bite, a flash of sliver ended his life and took his head. Dr Darkspring helped Corporal gains to her feet. "Bit sloppy corporal" he said, slightly smiling. "Oh shut up Richard" she replied kissing him passionately

Corporal Gains and Dr Darkspring stood surrounded by villagers. "Now look" said the corporal "get back or we will have to take action". The villagers laughed, small tentacles flailing from their mouths instead of tongues. "Just shot Rebecca" shouted Dr Darkspring "The villagers are dead. They are hosts for the outer spawn, not people" Dr Darkspring unsheathed his sword and hacked the head from the first possessed villager while Rebecca opened fire. Within seconds the villagers were dead, gunned down or hacked apart. Dr Darkspring began to search the pub, while Rebecca stood watch. "I've found the orb" he shouted from the cellar but that bastard Barns has gotten away again"

Rebecca Gains smiled as Richard Darkspring Knelt before her, ring in hand. "I love you Rebecca" he said holding her hand. Rebecca looked at him, on his knees .A shot rang out and her smile turned to surprise as blood began to run down her chest. Richard caught her in his arms as the black Mercedes speed off. "Richard" she stammered "it hurts". Richard looked at the wound, as it blackened and sensed the magic lay upon the bullet. "the bullet has a curse " he replied, holding back his tears " if I try to help you, it will kill you and your soul will go to the outer gods , if I do nothing and let it kill you, you will die in agony taking hours to finally go and your soul will be given to the outer gods . the only thing i can do is kill you before the Curse does. " Rebecca lay her hand on Richards face. " Then do it my love, kill me before its too late". Richard held her close. As he cuddled her he cast a spell and Rebecca painlessly died in his arms,

The soldiers left the cemetery, leaving Dr Darkspring alone. He looked down at the grave stone the sorrow in his heart turning to anger and hate. Captain Clements stood behind him. "We have intelligence that puts Barns at this address". He handed Dr Darkspring a piece of paper " you have two hours before the ministry moves in to arrest him" Dr Darkspring nodded as the captain headed back to base
The doors burst apart in a flash of light. Gerald Barns stepped back as the bodies of his henchmen were thrown into the room, followed by Dr Richard Darkspring, levitating with an aura of crackling energy about his person. Gone was all rational thought, any semblance of humanity. All that filled the doctor now was hate and vengeance, and magic. With a wave of his hand Dr Darkspring send a wave of energy at the remaining henchmen, who were torn apart. Fuelled by his anger and rage, his magic was off the scale. The room began to shake and the crack. Dr Darkspring threw Barns against the floor, holding him there by will. He landed next to him and brought his boot down on Barns's knee, shattering the bone and cartilage. He then did the same to the ankle. Barns screamed as bone splintered and tore into the surrounding flesh. He tried to crawl away but a horrific pain shot through him as Dr Darkspring pinned his thigh to the floor with a sword. He then reached down and grabbed Barns face, his thumb poking into the right eye. Barns screamed even louder as his eye burst. . Then Dr Darkspring stopped and the magic fury around him calmed. He muttered a few words and all of Barns wounds healed. Barns began to cry. "Oh thank you" he sobbed. Dr Darkspring smiled, giving barns the impression of a shark. "Oh don't thank me, I'm not showing mercy, I'm just prolonging the agony. You will suffer Barns "Barns screamed as Dr Darkspring reached for him again

Captain Clements looked at the report. "He healed him nine times, only to repeat the torture" said Sergeant Jones "how could he be so evil?" The captain looked at the sergeant. "You read the report sergeant, Barns was responsible for the deaths of over five hundred people, he tried several times to bring down this country and because of him Dr Darkspring was forced to kill his fiancée to save her soul. That man deserved everything Richard Darkspring did to him ".
