No one's POV

Thus it begins, the defining finale.

It may seem unfair, twelve against one, but there's no holding back, no mercy, after all the hell he's put them through. A fierce and ever burning fire of hatred burning within them, driving them all to the point of a power overdose. With this much potential brewing inside them, nothing can stop them from murdering his worthless soul without a single regret.

Launching into battle, everyone attempts to strike the man individually, although this soon proves futile when all he does is dodge.

"Dammit, this bastard's quick!" Subaru grunts as he tries to hit him multiple times but fails.

"Quit dodging, coward!" Ayato fumes.

"We can't do this with just our bare hands, it's illogical" Reika sums up.

"Your shouldn't leave yourself wide open, my dear" A voice alerts from behind.

Halfway turning, time seems to slow as her ruby eyes widen in shock at the man behind her, sneaking an attack in while he has the chance to incapacitate her.

"Same goes for you" A low voice adds, tackling Cordeney in midair and saving Reika in the process.

"Reiji!" She shouts in fear, watching him roll around on the ground, both of them attempting to strangle each other to death.

"Roll over!" Someone commands to Reiji out of nowhere, and he quickly abides without question.

In a flash, Laita appears before the brawling men on the ground with a silver sword in her hands, held high in the air with a murderous glint in her eyes. Bringing it down upon her father's back, he evades the move soon enough for it not to be fatal, but acquiring a reasonably sized gash along his back in the process.

"You never were good with swordplay" He mocks to throw her off guard.

Completing his defensive manoeuvre, he reappears beside Laita and lands a swift kick to her side before she can react. Knocking her to the ground immediately, she looses the sword in midair and it lands straight in Cordeney's grasp. Plunging the blade into the direction of her midsection, she reacts speedily and stops the sword by grabbing it in her hands, cutting deep into her palms in the process and drawing a river of blood that flows down her arms.

Taking him once again by surprise, Kana wraps her fragile arms around his waist and pulls him away with all the strength her small frame can muster, especially after that fall from before.

"Leave my sister alone!" She pleads weakly in anger and sadness.

Having to give up his position over Laita, he removes the sword from her grasp and tries to roughly shrug off the koala clinging onto his back. Because of her small body, she's hard to strike with a sword and can only be manually removed. Taking his chance, Laito jumps in and rescues his damsel in distress.

"Get off me!!!" He bellows in frustration, still trying to throw her off.

"Now Sura!" Kana releases her father and pushes him into the centre of the room forcefully, disappearing back to safety with Kanato, ready to watch the display of their plan.

Looking around in confusion, he whips his head in all directions waiting for an attack, but it never comes. The fact is, he missed the one most important direction.

"Tch! Up here, idiot!" Someone calls from above, making him look up.

With the help of gravity, Sura falls from her place on the chandelier in the centre of the ceiling and falls straight onto the awestruck man below. Landing on his shoulders, her knees are pressed firmly around his neck, and in one swift motion, she elevates herself slightly before harshly twisting her two knees together and to the left. Successfully hearing a sickening crack, she leaps away from his now snapped neck, his entire body falling limp before her on the ground.

Sighing shortly in relief, she visibly relaxes.

"Keep your guard up!" Aya calls from the other side of the room.

In an instant, another crack is heard from the supposedly dead corpse, as it stands itself upright again and repositions its neck back to normal. Widening her eyes in utter disbelief and shock, Sura backs away in fear. Grinning evilly at her, he swings his clawed hand directly at her neck, in hopes of severing her head from its body with the hit.

Taking action, Subaru teleports into the situation, grabbing Sura abruptly in his arms and teleporting out of there as quickly as possible. Although, the hit managed to land a small graze along her collarbone, where it tore away some of her shirt and now has beads of crimson rolling down onto her black shirt.

Holding her close by the bottom of the stairs, Subaru snarls back in his direction, keeping his injured mate tight in an embrace.

"Just add these to the collection of scars..." Sura sighs annoyedly, reassuring him somewhat.

"Shu, get your brothers to cause a distraction for us" Shae asks her mate beside her, as he nods in agreement and gathers his brothers to join the fight.

"Cordeney has never been one for attack, he's more defensive, much faster at dodging and healing. We need to corner him somehow" Reika begins, thinking up a battle strategy.

"We're not going to win this with futile tactics and individual attacks, we need one big solid plan" Aya suggests.

"No, what we need is more power" Sura adds firmly.

"You heard Cordeney, we're unstable humans at the moment, we haven't even fully completed the transformation!" Laita exclaims in concern.

"So what your saying, is that we need to be full vampires to beat him" Aya quizzes seriously.

"Like that's possible" Laita quips with an unhumorous laugh and dull eyes.

"Even then, we couldn't beat him" Kana whimpers into Beary's head.

"Not alone" Shae states, looking in the direction of the still fighting boys, some running out of energy and scathed skin showing under their tattered clothes.

"But with them, we've got all the power we need" She smiles.

"They're willing to throw everything on the line for us, it's about time we return the favour" Shae declares triumphantly to her sisters.

"That's it..." Reika utters under her breath in awe.

"Huh?" They ask, the sisters giving her curious stares.

"The power of unconditional and ultimate love...it was so obvious" She continues to herself, still not making any sense.

"Oi! Don't go all emotional on us now!" Aya shakes her shoulders to snap her out of it, and it does.

Getting her bearings, she gives her sisters all a solemn stare.

"Just follow my lead" She advises her sisters.

Dashing over to Reiji, she embraces him in a strong hug, surprising him to say the least as he pants slightly after his failed attempts of attack. Placing her chin in the crook of his neck, she inhales his scent, savouring the delicious fragrance.

"Trust me" She whispers softly to him.

Just like she had said, the rest of the girls pull their mates to the side and embrace them lovingly, still confused by Reika's sudden actions but liking the soothing intimacy.

"W-What are you doing?" Subaru blushes uncontrollably, but secretly enjoying the close proximity between each other.

"We have a plan" Sura reassures him, her warm breath fanning over his ear soothingly.

"Given up already? I see you're hiding in the comfort of your mates, better enjoy it while it lasts, before you'll be embracing death instead of your beloved boyfriends" Cordeney grins in glee, approaching them slowly with his bloodied sword still in hand.

The rest of the girls watch Reika in anticipation for her next moves, hoping this random act of affection is going somewhere important. Moving the fabric away from Reiji's neck and collarbone, Reika's eyes waver with a hidden lust as her gaze turns to pierce Cordeney's.

Witnessing her unyielding glare from across the room, he stops in his tracks, his grin immediately dropping into a frown, his eyes watching her in concern as she inches closer to the nape of her mate's neck.

"What...are you-?" Cordeney cuts himself off, his confusion contorting into realisation and anger almost instantly, his lips upturning into an irritated scowl. Breath catching in his throat and eyes wide in fury, he reaches forward to stop her, knowing full well her intentions.

"Love conquers all"

With that said, Reika plunges her fangs into Reiji's soft skin, causing him to inhale sharply in shock and pain.

"No!" Cordeney shouts in objection.

Finally catching onto her obscene actions, the rest of her sisters follow in her stead and bite down into their mates necks, equally surprising them all with he strange sensation. At first, the feeling is painful, but it soon changes into pleasure. Pulling away after having a fair amount of blood, they stand frozen in the arms of the brothers, an odd yet sensational feeling flowing through their veins, rendering them in a state of temporary paralysis.

Snapping back into reality, the new rush of power overflowing through them in waves eases off after a few seconds more. A low chuckle is heard, cutting through the darkness, before it stops suddenly. All in sync, the sisters turn and reveal to Cordeney their faces of unwavering determination, their eyes glowing with a newfound strength and lips adorned with malicious grins, showing off their pearly white fangs.

"Well...would you look at that, he's at a loss of words" Aya grins widely, wiping the dribble of blood from her chin and deliberately baring her sharp fangs in the process.

"The power, I can feel it surging through me" Sura clenches her fists by her sides, feeling the growing vigour in her muscles.

"The power of an immortal" Laita confirms, hands on her hips and a confident smirk.

"Now it's our turn to return their sacrifices" Reika offers him a powerful glare.

"And to get our long awaited revenge" Kana smiles widely with a manic look in her dilated pupils.

As the sisters look back, they take in the still flabbergasted brothers, eyes wide and expressions shocked with their sudden change in attitude and the feeling of their power surging off them in thick waves.

With glowing eyes full of burning passion and lust, they form a well built line as a sort of barricade in front of their beloved mates.

"Just sit back, while we protect you this time"
