SQUAD WIPE

The whole crowd was shell shocked and shaken in their boots and the vampire was smiling at this.

Her smile was devilish with her fangs out on display sending chills down their spines.

"Now that we're on the same page, let's try this again, cooperate with me or be my next drink," and in response, the crowd fell silent.

This wasn't the only place being attacked that night.

The city of solaria pulsed with energy, its neon-lit skyscrapers piercing the night sky like shards of glass. In the midst of this beauty, mysterious figures moved across the city with purpose, their minds focused on their objective.

At a live music venue 'the riff', in the central area of solaria, a lone figure slipped past the bouncers, their black leather jacket blending with the shadows. The band, 'Echo Flux,' was in full swing, their music a hypnotic mix of rock and electronica. The crowd was entranced, their faces bathed in the strobing lights. With a swift motion of his hand, a faint glow could be seen across his fingertips and the balcony doors sealed shut, trapping the screaming fans inside.

Meanwhile, at the upscale casino, 'the velvet vault', at the red district of solaria, two impeccably dressed individuals in tuxedos blended in seamlessly with the high-rollers, their face hidden behind black feathered masks.

The roulette wheel spun, and the cards were dealt with a flourish. High-rollers and socialites mingled, sipping champagne and making bets. With a subtle gesture to signal themselves, the two individuals did the same thing as the other, and the doors sealed shut, trapping the gamblers and staff inside.

Across town, at the bustling transportation hub, a solitary figure moved with purpose, his eyes fixed on the trains ahead. The trains rumbled in and out, a constant hum of activity.

The figure made his way in and lingered near the platform doors, their hand hovering over the sliding doors. With a swift motion, he repeated the same action, and the doors slid shut, trapping the unsuspecting commuters inside. The trains moved out and with the figure in it.

The whole city was taken by surprise as its most packed locations had been taken over u unknowingly.

__________

A mysterious force gripped Solaria. No one knew what was coming next. A subtle hum, like the quiet buzzing of a thousand bees, filled the air, canceling out signals and noise from every captured location, It was as if a force field had been erected, sealing them from the rest of the world.

Breaking through the roof of the night club was none other than the female vampire companion.

The male vampire who was alongside her on the roof. Creating a crater where he landed, he was completely unaffected by the fall from that height.

"Get on with the magic circle there's no much time to waste anymore, I'll get a word across to the others. The barrier spell won't hold up for long and soon we'll have more to deal with " he informed her.

And with his eyes closed, his mind focused as he was about to send a message across to the others.

With a deep breath, he reached out with his mind, connecting with each of them individually.

He started by visualizing a mental network, a web of threads that linked him to each vampire. As he focused on each thread, he felt the presence of the individual at the other end, their unique mental signature like a fingerprint.

With his connections established, he crafted his message, a simple but urgent message: "Hasten the process and begin the teleportation ritual" He imbued the message with a sense of importance, a mental nudge that would grab their attention.

Then, with a swift mental push, he sent the message along the threads, feeling it resonate with each recipient. The connections snapped shut, leaving the vampire feeling momentarily drained but satisfied that his message had been received.

The magic barrier that had held the city in its grip began to flicker, its energy waning. The female vampire, sensed the weakening and sprang into action as she strode to the center of the club.

With a swift motion, she pulled a small vial of red liquid from her cloak and uncorked it. The pungent scent of blood filled the air as she began to draw a intricate circle on the floor. The liquid seemed to shimmer and glow, as if alive.

As she worked, ancient symbols began to appear within the circle, etched in a language that seemed to dance across the stone.

With a final flourish, she completed the circle, and the barrier's flickering ceased. The air seemed to vibrate with anticipation as the magic took hold. The vampires and humans alike felt a pull as if the very fabric of reality was about to shift.

The female vampire stepped back, her eyes gleaming with confidence as she awaited the spell to be carried out.

This was done by the other vampires at the other locations as well.

The air seemed to vibrate with anticipation as the circles glowed with a bright, blinding, ethereal light across multiple locations in solaria.

As the bright glow died down, the vampires along with the trapped humans vanished, leaving behind only the faint scent of smoke.
