Meanwhile, the vampiric night stalker was very confused by the general insanity of your opening statement, retracting the knife, tilting her hooded head and letting out what sounded like perplexed chittering at what was said. She had a hard enough time as is comprehending those that were not like her or who she did not closely hunt with, let alone someone that was distinctly/impossibly completely unafraid of her! She was the Hunter, and people (almost entirely women) were Prey, so they should obviously be wary/terrified of them until they were not whether that be because she had feasted on their life force or proved themselves non-hostile. Granted, she took care not to harm Broken Man and that he was comfortable while she spirited him away to her Lair, so that could the reason why he's so friendly....?

You next response, however, is more straightforward/clear , but it still took a few moments for them to process the meaning behind your words and come up with the right words to express herself. When she did, it was in that voice that made your head fell like you drank five shots of tequilia in one go.

{You, like me. Broken. Cursed. Curious. Strange.}

The Vampire shook her head, letting out a scabbling noise as they tried again to clearly convey her thoughts/reasoning.

{Other, dangerous. Dark. Wrath. You, not. Curious. Need to know. Why similar? What way? How? Wanted to know...}

{My drones. Make Darkness look away. Keep busy. Hunt. I come, take you. Away. Safe place. Make mine. Need to know. Want to know. ....Lonely.}

{Now, MINE. Come. Not, take. Mine, come NOW. Hurry, or Darkness. Or worse...}

With that 'said', she hops over to you and begin to try and tug you along down the allyway, urgency in their stride as they wanted to be escape these hunting FAR away from Darkness. She's still not hostile, but no longer is she overcautious about you or the space golem, and wants to have you with her at all costs. Such attention from the opposite gender was usually a lovely, welcoming thing to have, but with a Cursed Arm using blood soaked hunter....

They listened with what seemed like rapt attention, quietly chittering to herself as she drank in that snippet of your sordid life you offered, and letting out a few hissess at the brief but vivid descriptions of your psychic torture. She knew what it was like to be hurt because of who they were. They were the Hunter, the Predator, and because of that she was chased/harmed by those that did not care for her or her activities in their Territory. Like him, the blood sucker's past was filled with pain of all varieties, but she was not aware of the details. Too hazy, scattered, disorganized. But the hurt was there, and it was real.

At your next few questions the serial killer reacted in the most unexpected ways: she let you go and took a few skittering steps , her posture and body language now broadcasting shyness and fear of all things!

{....Can't remember. Lost....hidden? Gone. Prey call me Vampire. Killer. Monster. Those my names? Don't know....}

{....Want? Me? ....Confused. Who want me? Tried finding Mates. Rejected. Hurt. Feared. Lonely....}

{.......You, though. Arial? Desire? Like me? Want me? .....Scared, strange, but.....? Happy. Feels...good}

{No see face. Not....good. Scary. Don't like it. But mine. Hide it. No one have to see....}

{Story..... Always hunted prey. Males not prey. Females Prey. Drones with me, care, protect, helped. Lived together. Long time, nothing change. Hunt. Wander. Survive. Then meet Big Bug. Scary, first. Then, made friend. Now, we hunt together. Funny, wierd, but good. Friend.}

Running out of things to say for now, and driven back a bit by your innoculous question, things appeared to have reached an uneasy equilibrium between you and them.....until Shedninja materialized right in front of them! In an instant, the Vampire was alert, frighted, and worried, scooping the spector out of the air and letting distressed noises at their condition. They were barely hanging on to consciousness by a thread, but they still had enough energy left to convey the status of the battle, before they Fainted. The blood sucker was shocked and trembling at the news, but she managed to recall her precious Drone after a bit of fumbling, before her head shot straight up into the night sky as she let out what sounded like angry cat Pokémon being murdered by Noise style music, with a good amount of ear bleeding buzzing thrown in for good measure! (Reiner will hear this at the end of Round 2)

At first, only silence greeted her response.

Then, Something responded back.

It heard her.

It knew.

It will serve.

You felt the air above you head suddenly being whipped up in a flurry, and you swiftly looked into the air to see a HUGE, shadowy thing zoom across the night sky in the direction of Reiner's battle. You were not able to get a good look at it before it flew out of sight, but you knew what it was based; you could FEEL the understanding throbbing in your skull.

BUZZWOLE

In the next moment, the Vampire snapped you out of that horrified reve by rushing forward and violently began to drag you along the ground, her patience and calm clearly spent at the fact that The Darkness claimed the lifeforce of her Shedninja, and she 'said' as much too!

{DARKNESS DESTORYED!  HUNT ME! BIG BUG CRUSH THEM. BUT FLEE. FLEE TO LAIR! COME, NOW!!!!!!!!!!}

This, however, caused the blood sucker react with swiftness and frustration, as she rapidly got into your personal space to pin your arms in place! She will NOT let what is hers get away, she WILL take him back to her hidden Lair, and she will NOT allow him to capture her like Prey!

Grapple
Accuracy: STR (*4) + Fight (2) + Brawl (2) - 2 Actions = 6D6 Dice
(3)(5)(1)(4)(5)(3)
Arial is now Grappled, and can't escape from the Vampire! He can still try to attack her directly, though!

Fortunately, you had just enough time to summon Sekmet to your side, where by it took her a couple of seconds to figure out what the blasted hell was going before she could react! In that same span of time, the serial killer did something that entirely defied your expectations: she threw out two MORE Pokeballs, and in a flash of light a Volcarona and Yanmega appeared in the now cramped back ally! The fire moth gave off an aura of utter immolation, a desire to consume all that opposed their master with Fire and Life Stealing Techniques, and the prehistoric dragonfly flited erratically to and from in mid air, a powerful blood lust emanating from her!

Then, to round out how disasterously things have went, the Vampire, with just one arm pinning you against her durable, hard form, shot out her other to quickly ready a gun into it. Given how close you were to the life sucker, you were perfectly able to deduce what type of weapon you had, a dark, almost black green taser gun. In that moment, Tobias (through your connection with it), helpfully chime in to confirm your worst fears: this was the Bug type Cursed Arm.

Residuam Culicidae. Owner: Riza Target: Baltazar


With angry chittering that you somehow knew was some form of explicative, she took aim and fire the Arm at the space golem!

C.C Life Drain Shot (Trainer Action)
Accuracy: DEX (*3) + Fight (2) + Channel (5) - 3 Actions = 7D6 Dice
(5)(5)(2)(6)(5)(5)(2) Scrrrzzzzzzap! Critical Hit.
Damage: 1/2 STR (*4) + 2 + STAB + Crit + SE - Vitality (3) = 4D6 + 1 Damage
(3)(3)(5)(4) Baltazar takes 3 Damage; 5/8 HP , - 1 Pain
They are also stuck with a the Dart, and will lose an additional 3 HP by the end of the first round of combat! Dart can be removed after 1 Round with a STR + Survival Check!

Your trusted being from outer space let out a pained groan as the shot landed on their chest, and he felt the effect of the Cursed Arm beginning to kick in! Still, they were far from put out by the life draining weapon, as they focused their telekinetic powers to give the Vampire one hell of a headache!

Confusion
Accuracy: DEX (*5) + Fight (3*) + Channel (2) - 3 Actions - 1 Pain = 6D6 Dice
(3)(2)(1)(4)(4)(1) Hits!
Damage: STR (2) + 3* + STAB - Vitality (*5) - Holding Back (2) = 1D6 Damage
(1) The energy only serves to enrage her even more!
Confusion: (3) Nope

For a moment, all is still as you, your own, and the Vampire + Co franctically process this whole sequence of events, trying to find and take whatever advantage they can take to stamp out their respective opposition!

Initiatives:

Vampire: DEX (*3) + Survival (5) + (6) = 14
Arial: DEX (2) + Survival (1 [Life and Death Situation Raises it by 1!]) + (6) = 9
Volcarona: (3) + 8 = 11
Yanmega: (2) + 8 = 10
Baltazar: DEX (*5) + Survival (*2) + (6) = 13
Sekmet: (1) + 4 = 5

Vampire goes first, then Baltazar, then Vocarona, then Yanmega, then You, then Sekmet
