Power Rangers: Dark Hunters

The dark clouds quickly poured over the town square with unnatural speed, turning the bright sky as dark as a heavy storm. From the dark clouds, a sinister vortex opened and from it a swarm of black bats flies out of the vortex and each one lands on the ground and forms into a monstrous hybrid of a bat and a human. Each one having red eyes, a mouth full of razor sharp fangs and black leathery skin. In the middle of the Fledglings, a swarm of mosquito exits the vortex and forms into the monster Masqui. The general populous reaction to this was mixed, with some immediately running, some approaching to get a better look, and many not knowing what to do at the arrival of the newcomers.

Masqui looks around at the dozens of hundreds of hapless victims that he will harvest. With a shrieking laugh Masqui addresses his Fledgling minions. "Fledgelings, let these mortals serve their purpose! Bring the Queen their blood!" He shouts and the Fledgelings got to work, charging at the civilians and biting into their necks and wrists, draining them of their blood. They were not killing them, as what sentient creature would immediately cull the herd. Once the Fledgelings took what they needed, they ran to they next civilian and began draining them. Masqui walked around and laughed. "What great harvest! No shortage here and no rangers to interfere!" He laughed out as his tongue shot out a dozen feet and drains a running man of his blood. Unlike the Fledgelings, who only drained their victims to the point of unconsciousness, Masqui had no problem with draining his victims until they were nothing but a cold husk.

Star froze. What was going on? Who were these people? But she didn't have time to think. They were attacking innocents for no reason. And that was something Star could not stand. Though with so many of these things around, she wasn't sure what she could do. They almost looked like the typical depiction of vampires. And they'd come from the clouds, and that vortex. She had to do something. She couldn't just stand there.

Eli almost made it to the rack before he screaming started. Darting her helmeted head up, her eyes widen as she caught a glimpse of some... thing chasing a fleeing celebrator. As she watched, wondering if it was some sort of act, she saw more of whatever they were chasing others. Children, elderly, anyone they could get their hands on. Even if this was some sort of sick prank, it was going too far.

Wheeling around, her bike lets out the whine of abused tires as she leaves the pavement and begins to churn up grass, racing along the sidewalk and towards where everyone was running from. It didn’t take her long to find the source, and the big guy in a costume that stood laughing as people around him screamed.

Well, she’ll see how well he laughs in hospital. Speeding up, she manages to get out a “HEY, UGLY!” Before leaping off her speeding bike and letting it crash into the costumed fella.

So Silvan looked from the distance, it seemed to be really a lot of crazy things happening down there, and the screams were pretty loud, he could almost hear them. That was pretty interesting, the black clouds and not people were getting their blood sucked really sparked a new kind of interest, a big interest actually. So Silvan took a deep breath, he proceeded to walk downstairs and right to the street. There, the human proceeded to walk right to the festival, to see what was happening of course.

He didn't own a car so he couldn't drive and it was much too late to simple take the bus. Besides, he's sure no buses would past this near with what's happening. The more he walked, the louder things get

Gwen was waiting on her cappuccino. She enjoys her time at the carnival. She hopes to make some friends here at the carnival.

Oliver's instincts were correct, those clouds we're not good and the world creatures that emerged had him doing a double take.
What. The. Hell.
Next thing he knew a motorbike was soaring through the air nearby, slamming into one of the ugly things.
It was enough to bring him out of his shock to begin getting mobile.
He dove and rolled out of his stand as one charged him, it crashed into the stand, knocking it over and sending everything everywhere.
Oliver groaned, "Just great, had to ruin the coffee didn't you."
He stood up and pulled a knife from his pocket, it wasn't much, and he would've preferred something bigger, but it would have to do. He looked an saw the woman that had stopped at his stand and the man he assumed to be her grandfather. They needed to get out of here.
But between him were these things, and from what he saw a knife wasn't going to do much. Steeling his nerves he decided that if he was going to go down, he was gonna try and save people and maybe take a few down while he was at it.
He began his dash towards the two, hoping he would make it to them, and more importantly make it out of this alive.

(Sorry for the late post. Been busy with some other stuff, but now that I'm free I should be able to post at least once a day.)

One of the monsters notice that Oliver was out in the open, armed but open. It charges and tackles the young man to the ground, pushing him down and trying to get at his neck. Up close the monster was horrifying to look at, ugly with leathery black skin and a mouth full of pearl white fangs. Its eyes were lifeless but red, and despite its thin appearance it was strong. Strong enough to slowly overwhelm Oliver as its mouth inched closer to his neck.

The monster that Eli bike rams into was knocked down as bike was totaled by the collision, but the Fledgling was more durable then she expected as the creature showed no signs of being hurt, just angry that she at what she had done. The creature grabs the back wheel that had fallen off the totaled bike and chucks it at her with inhuman strength, knocking the wind out of her and throwing her to the ground. The monster immediately runs at her with great speed, before jumping on her and attempting to bite into her neck.

@Alissa Ming
The monsters were everywhere around Star, attacking men and women, young and old. There was little that she could do, but in the chaos she can see a single Fledgling trying to break into a car containing a father and hisdaughter. The monster had broken the window and the man was using a broken broomstick to fight off the monster. The daughter is no more then 6 or 7 crying and screaming the entire time her father stabs and thrusts the sharp stick at the Fledgling, keeping at bay but for not much longer it would seem.

@Lil Proton
When Silvan reaches the festival it was a horrible sight to behold. The bodies of people where littered about, pale with lifeless eyes. They weren't dead, but were in some sort of coma like trance. One of the monsters, having finished feeding on one of the victims looks up and sees Silvan and stands up to face him, bearing its blood covered teeth and mouth at him, hissing at it moves towards him menicingly.

Lou and Clause were hiding just out of sight of the conflict. Clause was less then happy with this while Lou was more worried then scared.

"Lou, get me out of this chair! I need to fight these Fledglings!" He tells Lou in which the young women replies

"Clause, there's a hundred of them and one of you. We can't just- Look out!" She said as Fledgling jumps at Clause and Lou. The old man simply grits his teeth and pulls out a red ornate blade, around a foot long in length, from his coat. The dagger glows a scarlet red as he slashes at the air, creating a red projectile that cuts the Fledgling in midair. The attack cuts the monster across the torso, causing it to let out a pained scream before landing on the ground. Upon landing, it writhes for a second before seizing up and turning into dark energy and disappearing completely. Clause watches the monster disappear, and wipes his brow after such a close call. Out of the corner of his eyes however, he notices that the glow of the blade has yet to fade. He holds it up and looks inside his coat to reveal 4 other blades, a forest green, a raven black, a golden yellow and a navy blue, were also all glowing like his red blade, but in different measures.

Lou walks up to Clause and the two give the other a knowing look. "Lou you know what to do!" He tells her and Lou nods.

@Azathoth
"Alright, hang on!" She said as she begins pushing Clause across the field, using the glow of the daggers to find the people they searched for. The first one they went up to is the coffee guy, being pinned to the floor by a Fledgling. Clause slashes the Fledgling out of the way and he checks the daggers to see that that the Green Dagger had the brightest glow.

"You son, take this!" He said before giving Oliver the green dagger. "Aim for the chest and head. You'll know what to do." He tells him before Lou wheels him off.

@TheGreenerGrey
The next person they found is a girl under attack by a Fledgling. Lou pushed the chair into the Fledgling knocking it off of the girl and allowing Clause to stab the dagger into the beast's chest, causing it to stumble back and few feet before it was destroyed. Clause sees that his own blade was glowing the brightest and with a little hesitation, he hands the girl his own weapon. "You hold a great responsibility. Fight hard and fight well." He tells her before nodding at Lou and the two wheeled off to search for others to hand the weapons to.

Eli went from panicked and angry to just angry the moment the... old dude in a wheelchair knocked the monster off of her? However, she didn’t really have a clear head right now as she looks towards her mangled bike. Was this guy even aware of how much it costs a high school student to pay for repairs?! She’d be using up most of her savings!

So when the old wheelchair dude gave her the glowing red knife, she didn’t question it and immediately set to work. Whatever these things actually were, they obviously weren’t human as one stab had disintegrated the one that had her pinned. So with that in mind, she set to work.

She felt oddly like Percy Jackson as she stabbed into the arm of a monster, before stabbing again and watching it disappear. Just one stab and the monsters vanished, celestial bronze and all that. Either way, it was an awesome and empowering feeling as she made her way over to her bike, through the crowd of monsters.

Star tapped the woman in front of her on the shoulder to draw her attention to the chaos going on, then, with no more time to waste, took off toward the father and child who were close and defending themselves. Though who knew for how much longer. She didn't even know if she'd make it in time, but she'd have to try.

".... That's cool, straight out of a fantasy book huh?" Silvan commented just like that, more fascinated with what he saw then anything else for that instance. And it's pretty easy to see why from his perspective, there's these weird things sucking the blood from various people and he had no idea why. Wanting to know the reason for what was happening was one thing he intended to find out one way or another.

He could still recognize danger though, the boy understood that running in the opposite direction to scare bloodsucking creatures was just part of human nature. Scary things were scary for a reason and he decided it was best to see if he can get indoors somewhere. Or if he could get his hand on some fire weapon, like a good gun it would be even better. Hopefully, some of the almost dead people didn't leave home without at least a handgun of some sorts
