Chimera Unit Report 1: Initial Thoughts and Observations

[CallmePrismatic]

DRI File AF57WW1
Chimera Unit
Started in 1943, ended in 1945, restarted in 2004.
A highly covert strike force made up of DRI-approved mythical monsters (Mythos). Members must have been monitored for a minimum of three years and must be approved by the DRI board. Afterward they are assigned to a supervisor who acts as commanding officer.
Chimera Unit’s main task is to undertake any job a regular DRI task force is unable or unwilling to do. In return, DRI will provide off-site housing, human covers, glammers if necessary, and monetary payment.
Since the history of former Chimera Units has been spotty at best, DRI is closely monitoring the current Unit and reserves the right to void current and future operations if deemed unneeded. The Chimera Unit is not absolved from traditional DRI clauses, and will not be acknowledged if killed on the field or captured.

The building was not finished but was amazingly elaborate in initial design, the entrance room alone a mini-cathedral. The sign outside had stated that Wolfram & Hart wanted to apologize for their dust while they set up their new offices.
Artemis wasn’t really paying attention as a tooth filled mouth was rapidly closing in on his fleshy outer body. He kicked the torso it was attached to away and balled his fist, releasing the spring that held the wooden stake back, unleashing the weapon from his arm. Meanwhile the vamp had decided to close in and released a punch that got the incubus in the jaw, sending him spinning around. He brought his arms up and blocked a downward blow then kicked the undead’s leg in, sending him to one knee. As his stake arm reached back the vampire jumped forward, wrapping his arms around Artemis’s neck to pull himself upward, teeth outstretched.
Damn new blood. Artemis laughed and delivered the stake into the vampire’s heart and quickly withdrew it. The vampire’s arms literally crumbled away and all that was left behind were his clothes. You go for the neck when you’ve won, not at the bottom.
He looked up at the vampire nest and his group and the chaotic battlefield. The earpiece in his ear crackled to life and a female voice came to life. “How is everyone?”
Artemis looked up and yelled out “Charisma wants to know how everyone is doing.”

There was a chair-ratting thud, and a flash of flame. Nada looked down at the vaguely human-shaped patch of dust on the ground, with his foot resting roughly where the head would be located. His boots, heavy-duty workboots that could stand up to his unusual weight, smoked a little bit from the heat, and one of his laced burned merrily away.

His wrought-iron face shifting slightly into a faint smile, he looked up. "I'm cool," he said in his deep bass voice. His lips barely seemed to move, and it was true that they almost didn't. Even he didn't know EXACTLY how he was able to talk, what with no lungs or vocal cords, but it was just one more mystery in his decidedly unusual life.

With a sound like a big brass bell being hit by a bird in flight, Nada looked behind him at the vampire that was nursing a broken foot. His smile shifting to a smirk, he raised his solid iron leg again...

Bo snorted at Artemis' comment.

"Oh, I'm just dandy!" Bo muttered as he swung his axe again. The vamp turned to ash as the magically sharped blade seperated it's head from it's body. Before he had a chance to recover from his swing, a pair of vampires charged him. One did a shoulder tackle, knocked the off-balance minotaur to the ground, and knocking the axe from his hands. The second jumped up to try some sort of move it probably saw on a pro-wrestling show as a human.

Bo was not impressed by it at all.

As the vamp came down to land it's flashy blow, Bo brought his knees to his chest, hit hooves lifted upwards. The vampire, expecting to land on relatively soft flesh, let out a grunt of pain as it instead landed on rock-hard hooves. Kicking with all his might, Bo launched the vampire across the room, and quickly stood. The second vampire punched Bo in the side. Bo grunted in pain.

"Hey! No kidney shots!" Bo said as he backhanded the vampire in the head. The monster slid backwards a few feet, but managed to keep it's balance.

"Great. I get stuck with the one which isn't a newbie." Bo muttered to himself. Bo dived for his axe, but the vamp was faster, and kicked it away, then kicked at Bo. Bo raised his armed and blocked, and brought his fist around in another backhand, which the vampire blocked. As the vamp blocked, Bo grabbed is oppenet's arm and did an over-the-shoulder thrown. The vampire landed hard, and Bo put his hoof on it's chest before it could recover. Pulled his sawed-off shotgun from it's holster, Bo aimed it at the vampire's heart. "Fool!" The vampire spat. "You can't kill us like that."

Bo nodded. "You know, you're right. It's not made out of wood. But, at this range," Bo said, readjusting his aim, "It should be enough to blow your head clean off."

Bo pulled the trigger, and the vampire ashed.

"Hey? Whaddaya know? It was enough to blow his head of-ow!" Bo yelled as the vampire he had kicked across the room jumped kicked him from behind. Bo stumbled forward, and turned, his eyes turning red. "Right. You're dead...again. Still. Whatever."

With a roar, Bo charged the vampire.

[Inbred Chocobo]

As the vampire came in close, a few quck slashes with the knives in hand ended the creature's life. "It's hard for a vampire to live without a heart or head. Yo, I'm fine." Another vampire came in to get revenge, slashing out with its claws, only to get them removed with another slash then blinded due to both knives being driven into it's eyes. "Bloody hell, how long is this gonna take?" Razma said as he drove a knife into the creature's heart and took the other and decapitated it.

[Overcast]

"Well enough for this kind of day." he said with his toothy dragonic smile coming out of the sky, he looked to a vampire that tried to charge him and grabbed his head as it burned into ash as the head burst into fire in his hands. He blew his flames at another simply scorching it majorly as it went down in a blaze of hellfire as well, "How useless these fools are."

[PyrosNine]

A trio of vampires had holded themselves in a locked room, hoping to escape the slaughter of their comrades. Unluckily for them, A rhino burst through the door sending bits of wood everywhere, and impaled an unlucky vamp through the chest. The rhino jerked his head, sending the vamp flying into a wall. The rhino glowed a light blue, and was now a heavily built man. Another Vamp attacked and the man gave him a heavy punch to the face. Another came, and he quckly grabbed a piece of the broken door and stabbed him through the heart, reducing him to ashes. When the third came swinging with a blade, the man changed into a small child, allowing him to avoid the blade. The child became a thin, agile woman and sprung a handstand, booting the vampire in the face. Grabbing the piece of the door, she backflipped onto the first vampire who had just picked himself up and ended him. The third, realizing his oncoming demise, attempted to run past her to freedom. She transformed into 18 year old boy, Chris Valence, and he pulled out a gun from his pouch. The blood sucker had six well shot bullets sever off his head. "I'm A-Okay guys. The day these critters give me trouble will be the day I pay taxes."

Two vampires leap at Gamut. He shoots one in midair with a firey bolt from his crossbow, disentigrating it, just before the other makes contact. The two bodies fly backwards and slide on the ground, the vampire on top. The creature lifts up his hand to punch Gamut, but he grabs his undead hand and scratches the vampires face with the claws on his left hand. The vampire stumbles backwards holding his face, as Gamut quickly gets up and pulls out his sword. Almost before he had even pulled it out it was aflame. He dashes at the vampire and slices his head clear off, the rest of his body disentigrating.
"I'm doing just fine, thank you very much!" He yells back to Artemis

[wilysword]

Fei said nothing. No words were necessary when killing vampires.

A vampire charged her, assuming from her dress and staff she'd be easy prey. Concentrating on the end of her staff, she assumed an attack position and waited. A little closer...closer...now. The end of the staff reformed into a point just as the vampire reached her, and she watched as it impaled itself on the staff. They never saw that one coming.

Another vampire noticed and grabbed a chair leg to deflect the staff with; Fei waved at the wall above it and a section broke loose. The vampire jumped out of the way, but yelled in surprise as the ground shifted under him, making him stumble and drop his guard, allowing Fei enough time to drive her staff into his heart. She only hoped there were a lot more vampires here. This felt good.

Jeff was standing in the center of the commotion, with the rest of the Unit pulverizing throngs of vampires. Looking slightly disappointed, he unholstered his Beretta M3P. Suddenly, a vampire came hurtling through the air, Jeffery just barely ducked and the vampire smashed into the wall several meters behind him.

"Heh, sorry about that." The minotaur said from across the room. Jeffery approached the collapsed wall and found the vampire contorted into a painful position, but still quite alive.

Grunting in pain, it unwound itself from what looked like multiple broken bones and grinned at Jeffery, clearly showing its fangs. As it got up, the first shot from the Beretta deafened the entire room. The vampire was floored as a close-range shell rittled its upper torso.

Jeffery closed in quickly, as the vampire was still recovering, and pressed his foot down hard on the fresh wounds. All things considered, the vampire took it quite well, just before it was turned into ash as Jeffery sent two successive rounds into its face.

"Oh, I'm fine."

The blue-eyed child looked up at the vampire that stood imposingly above her. Her long hair draped down across her back, and her right thumb was in her mouth. She looked at her opponent wide-eyed, almost seeming incomprehending.

However, nearby, a decapitated vampire lay fading away, his eyes burned away, and various other parts of the body charred beyond recognition. The vampire looked nervously down at the child, who, across the waist, was clipped a dagger. Another vampire, fleeing from the general melee, leapt in, eyes wild with fear. The vampire in front of the girl turned around.

It was the wrong move.
In one quick motion, the girl's eyes became sly and vicious, replacing the innocent gaze, and the dagger flicked into her hand. The one nearest to her turned and fear riddled his eyes and backed away slowly, while the other one looked at his companion in scorn.
"She's just a child," he said as he stepped forward, unaware of the girl's new complexion, only to step back in shock as suddenly, the girl lunged, a girl no longer, but a man with burning hands, trapping him in a circle of hellish flames. Then there was no man. There was a flash of orange and fire. Then the man was behind him. The vampire dodged a vicious slash and lashed out, striking thin air.
This strike and dodge method went on for a few more seconds, before the man/child gained the upperhand.

The kill was executed in two quick slashes; one that severed the spinal chord in an almost surgical manner, the other that completed the decapitation.

When the flames died, Fox noted that the other vampire had fled. Artemis' call came to her... his ears. She... he, transformed again, and sent out a sharp, yelping bark of a fox as reply, before picking the distinct scent of her escaped prey and disappearing again in a flash of orange and brown body and tail.
