Guts and Glory

@ Prince Vegeta
Lucas looked at Alice as she spoke. He let out a quiet laugh as she asked to spar. "Sounds good to me." He murmured kissing her lips one last time as he grew on a pair of boxers. "Lead the way love." He said grinning at her.

Aleaha raised an eyebrow at him and laughed. "I'm glad you didn't I don't think the marriage would have gone quite as well had you." She said placing a hand on his chest as she kissed his cheek again.

Alice smirked as he only put on a pair of boxer as she went out into the hall and went to the elevator. They headed down to the basement where a huge mat and ring sat. "So if we do this I am going to ramp up to full power. Which means seeing my second form. I warn you that this form is the strongest thing on the face of the planet and makes the form I fought you in look like a white belt in a black belt match. Would you like to fight that?" she asked as she started t stretch.

"Maybe. Then again are you going to protest against the man who cut your hands off?" he asked as he grabbed a pillow and leaned back. They had about three hours until the plane landed and he wanted to kill as much time of that napping as he could.

@ Prince Vegeta
Lucas followed Alice into the elevator, he put an arm around her as they stood in the elevator waiting to get to the basement. "Oh?" He said as he listened. Stretching his arms above his head. "That's fine." Lucas said and looked across at her, as his eyes turned a reddish color. "Just don't kill me. I don't think that would end the war." He said with a wink. Lucas chuckled as he shifted. But this time he wasn't dark brown and had yellow eyes. He was a large black wolf, with red eyes that glowed against his fur color. This was his fighting wolf form, which was a rarity, usually seen in the royalty, Lucas had been the first in three generations to get it. To get to this form he really had to focus. He padded in to the ring and let out a deep howl. Ready to start.

Aleaha rolled her eyes at Eric. She reached over and took his hand in hers as she leaned back in the seat and closed her eyes. "Wake me up if anything interesting happens." She teased and yawned softly. Aleaha drifted off slowly as the plane headed back towards their home.

(My day off is tomorrow so I'll be posting a little more regularly then)
"My dear husband have you been holding back?" Alice asked with a smirk before letting out a loud war cry. She was about to transform into a legendary form of vampire that hadn't been seen in 1,000 years. Although it was becoming more commonplace since Alice unlocked it. Suddenly the bone wings shot out of her back although the edges were covered in spikes and the ends had two scythe looking hooks. HEr muscles expanded and grew as her cry grew louder. Skin becoming harder and so pale that the light nearly reflected off her skin. Bone spikes shot out of her wrists and along her forearms as the ground started to crack under her new found power. Finally her fangs shot out twice as thick and powerful looking than before. Her normal gold colored eyes turning pitch black. Her transformation was done and she looked at Lucas. "Let's begin." she told him as she flashstepped right behind him.

Eric passed out. At first he had no dreams and that's the way he liked his sleep. After a while he was back on the battle field. In front of him was a monster of a vampire he had never seen. The two fought and fought until the dream nearly ended with Eric getting beaten to death with his own arm. His eyes shot open as she realized he was sweating heavily. He settled down and opted to watch the inflight movie for the rest of the time.

@ Prince Vegeta
Lucas watched as she transformed. Holy shit. he thought to himself. He nodded his large head as he watched her move behind him. He turned about and pounced at her, digging his teeth into her fore arm to try and drag her down.

Aleaha slept through the flight. When they landed she got up with Eric and headed off the plane. The couple collected their luggage and got a cab to head home. "Alright when we get back to the mansion we can tell bth our parents." She said and kissed his nose grinning almost excitedly. "What do you think the kid will be like."

@ BadStreetBoys
Alice smirked for a moment as his teeth dug into her spike covered forearm. "Is that it?" she asked as she used that to fling him across the arena. "I said challenge me. That was little more than foreplay dear husband." Alice told him as she flash stepped right in front of him and delivered a punch right across his snout. She held back a little bit as she didn't want to hurt him much.

Eric looked and shrugged. "A handful probably." he told her as he realized they would have to tell their parents. Eric was wondering what he was going to say as they rapidly approached their destination. His parents were going to go baby crazy when they found out.

@ Prince Vegeta
Lucas's snout was probably his most sensitive area. So just as he had gotten up and licked the blood from his mouth he was punched. Lucas let out a whimper, taking a few steps back. He shook his head and begun to snarl. His head shot up and he pounced at her again. Using his large law, and claws. Swiping across her face. When he landed he swiped at her back, claws fully extended. Before taking a few steps back to see where she would go.

Aleaha chuckled and nodded. "Definitely if he takes after you." She teased. Aleaha looked out as they saw the mansion in the distant. Her stomach got queasy as she thought of telling her parents. Soon they arrived. Aleaha got out and helped Eric carry in the luggage.

@ BadStreetBoys
(I'm so sorry. My pet died and I let work consume me to avoid thinking about it)
Alice cringed for a second when she realized she had hurt Lucas in her attack. However the caring gave way after a moment or two as her bloodlust took back over. The claws raked her skin. The impact was enough to scratch her back but she managed to duck back in time to avoid her face. She wasn't going to lose this time. Alice speeded forward and slid underneath Lucas to kick him up in the air.

Eric had one hand on the luggage when he noticed something funny. One of the guards was notching an arrow, and aiming it right at Aleaha. Eric stepped in front of her as three arrows peppered his chest like he was a pincushion. Eric fell to the ground, his chest burning in an agony that he hadn't felt since he was on the battlefield.

@ Prince Vegeta
(Oh my gosh I'm so sorry. It's alright.)

One thing Lucas particularly hated was being in the air, he couldn't control anything while he was in the air, and he hated it. It was worse when in his wolf form because he kinda just squirmed hoping to get to the ground faster. When she kicked him in the air he growled down at her, and once landing did a quick circle before pouncing at Alice again, from behind. His paws on her shoulders, pulling Alice backwards. He jumped on top of Alice and used her chest as a springboard as he jumped away from her, turning around again to see what she would do next. A small part of his mouth was still bleeding from her punching him, so he licked the blood away again before baring his teeth at his wife.

Aleaha hadn't noticed the arrows being pointed at her as she was checking to make sure they had all ther luggage. When she heard Eric go quiet she got worried. She looked up just in time to see Eric fall to the ground. "Eric!" She cried out and dropped to her knees. She looked at the arrows in his chest, knowing that they weren't in deep enough to have punctured anything important. But she also noticed these were battle arrows rather than regular guard arrows and were barbed. Her parents had heard the cab arrive and were heading outside when they saw the scene before them. Soon the other four royals were outside. Aleaha explained the dilemma to them about removing the arrows. The four of them quickly brought Eric inside. Aleaha's father rounding up all the guards to find out who had betrayed him. While Aleaha, her mother, and Eric's mother, worked on removing the arrows from Eric's chest with as little damage as possible.

Alice realized she would have to end this quickly. Lucas liked playing the waiting game she remember and that's how he won his battles. Alice zipped up to him and roundhouse kicked him in the side before speeding right where he was going and slamming him into the ground with both fists. "Give up yet love?" she asked calmly.

(I feel like now would be a good time to build up a supporting cast or else this is going to get stale quickly.)

Eric's mother recognized these types of arrows. They were barbed and poisoned like the ones her soldiers used in the war. She knew that it would take much steadier hands than hers to remove them and the poison as the the wounds started to turn black. Eric screamed loudly from the pain. Worse than anything he had ever encountered in his years of life. Eric's mother turned to one of her handmaidens. "Get Yin and Yang." She told them as she tried to stop the bleeding. A few minutes passed that seemed like years when two tall and lanky men walked in. One was African American and the other Caucasian. Both had white suits on with red Mohawks that had been spiked up. Each covered in tribal tattoos and carrying large, old wooden boxes. "Yin is here to help." The African American man told them in an accent that no one could quite place. "Yang me brother be here to help too." The two walked up to Eric as they gently moved Aleaha and her mother to the side. Yang opened his box and pulled out a large vial with a squirming leech inside. "Poison leeches be needed. Poison spreadin too fast." Yang said as he put them on the wounds. Yin pulled out a syringe and filled it from a vial of green liquid. "Keeps his heart pumping." Yin told her as he injected the liquid into Eric's veins. "Now we wait." Yang told her. "

@ Prince Vegeta
(Yes I agree. How many should we add you think?)

Lucas was waiting for a good moment to attack before he was violently kicked then thrown back into the ground. He could feel multiple bones snap as he did. Choosing to just lay on the ground. He slowly and carefully rolled onto his back to show his belly. Letting out a small whimper. But quickly shutting himself up to avoid ridicule from his wife. After he did that he just laid in the ground. Chest rising and falling with each breath. He closed his eyes just wanting to fall asleep instead of shifting and having to deal with the pain of that from his broken bones. He had one paw covering his snout as well.

Aleaha's father, Derrick, had gotten all his guards in a room as he begun to inspect each of their equipment, ask what they had been doing, and trying to determine who was the one to attack his now son in law. When he found one guard with poisoned arrows, the rest with their usual weapons. He ordered his private guard to take him to their questioning room. Before returning to where Eric was. Aleaha was worried about Eric as his mother called
For two men. She moved away and let them do their jobs. Not wanting to bother them as they work she looked over at his mother. "Who are they?" She asked quietly, looking at as her father returned. "I found who it was. Don't worry they'll be persecuted. Is he okay?" He said

@ BadStreetBoys
Alice stopped dead in her tracks when she heard the whimper. Oh god she had really hurt him. "Fuck. Fuck, fuck, fuck." she said as she went over and started checking Lucas' injuries. "I'm so sorry Lucas." she told him as she started powering down. "I'm so sorry." she told him again as she grabbed the first aid kit to help bandage him up.

(I don't know. I figured Yin and Yang could just kind of be around a lot since Aleaha is pregnant. We could pitch ideas in a message for roles and characters. But I had ideas for a jester and captain of the guard)

Yin looked at him with a straight face. "He survive. But he be in a sleep for now. Maybe he wake up in an hour. Maybe a month. Depend on how strong he be." Yang stood up and looked at Aleaha. "Queen. Take mind off your husband. We must check on your newborns. We haven't delivered hybrid babies in 30 years." Yang told them as he stood up to lead Aleaha away. Eric's mother was kneeling next to her son. Worry infused into her face. "I'll tend to him. Let Yin and Yang tend to you." she told her.

@ Prince Vegeta
Lucas just made a few small sounds in response, he didn't want to be babied, he was too proud for that. He growled quietly, forcing himself to get up and slowly pad away from Alice. He figured he'd be fine, wolves healed decently fast. So he padded over to the elevator they took down jumping on his hind legs and pressing the button. As he sat and waited he licked his paws. Before looking back at Alice. He didn't want to upset her. But he refused to be thought of as weak. His breathing was slowed due to the fact his ribs were collapsed in on his lungs and anything fast could puncture his lung. He was used to injuries and taking care of himself, but not this many at once.

Aleaha and her father both nodded in response to being told how Eric would be. Aleaha desperately wanted to stay with him, but when Yang said she should get her mind off of him she agreed. Stress wouldn't be good for the baby. She stood up and looked down to his mother, giving her a nod. She followed Yin and Yang down the hall. Looking up between the two much larger men. "So what exactly are you guys? I don't ask that in a rude way." She said as she looked between them. She found them very interesting.

@ BadStreetBoys
Alice sat there on the floor. She had been in hundreds to thousands of matches and had hurt people so much worse than she had Lucas but this bout was going to stay in her mind forever. She went over to the punching bags and started to punch them over and over again. Unknowningly her strength started to come out more and more until she punched the bag off the chain and sent it through a wall. Taking that as a sign to stop Alice finished and went upstairs to check on Lucas.

Yin looked at her as they put her on the examining table. "We are Yin and we are Yang. That's what were are." Yang responded as he pulled out her file. They started doing the normal check up things. "Rate of growth be fast. You be entering the end of the first trimester by end of week." Yin told her as he listened to her breathing through a stereoscope.

@ The Punisher
Lucas was able to enter the elevator and make his what up to their room, he just whined at the door until someone let him into it. Finally he tried to climb on to the bed, but it put too much strain on him, so Lucas decided to crawl underneath the bed. He whimpered quietly as he lay beneath it. When his eyes were fully adjusted he lifted his head slightly and looked across his body. Lucas wouldn't be able to take care of himself in his wolf form. But shifting with injuries like his was extremely painful. One that Lucas had only experienced once before and didn't feel like experiencing again. He let out a huff of air before crawling out from the bed when he saw Alice enter. He let out a few barks to try and communicate, growling when he realized she wouldn't understand him. He finally decided to man up and shift. Lucas soon began to shift, letting out a low scream before covering his mouth to shut himself up as he did. Lucas sat naked in front of Alice and looked up, holding his nose now, which bled. "You broke my nose and ribs." He said quietly. "Shifting hurts like a bitch with broken bones because they don't go back correctly, so I don't know whether or not I'm gonna get a puncture lung or not." He said and breathed he sultanas he laid on the floor and groaned. His body also riddled with bruises and marks.

Aleaha looked between them, nodding slightly at the answer. She didn't go on to ask more, they didn't seem very talkative. Aleaha sat on the exam table and allowed them both to do what they needed. "Usually vampire births are fast." She said softly in response. Breathing in and out as she was instructed to do so. "What impact on the baby do you think there is going to be because of it being a hybrid?" She asked as she lifted her arm to allow them to take her blood pressure. Aleaha was worried, if the birth was fats and Eric still wasn't awake, he would miss the birth of their child. Which would be a big moment for them, but everyone else. The entirety of both kingdoms would know about it. And that would be when Eric and Aleaha took over the kingdoms together. She didn't even know what to name them if he wasn't awake to talk to her before the birth.

@ BadStreetBoys
ALice looked at him. She looked like a six year old who had just gotten lectured by her father. "I'm sorry." she told him as she stood up and curled up next to him. Alice after a few minutes went and grabbed an ice pack and put it on his wounds. "This should help a little." she told him.

Yin looked at her and said, "Child should be here by end of month. Eric be woken by then." Yang finished looking at her charts and looked at her. "Poison was meant for you. Deadly to humans, different for vampires." The tests continued for a moment before Yang finished his sentence. "Poison would have killed baby. Made you infertile."

@ The Punisher
Lucas put an arm around Alice. "Don't apologize."
He murmured, accepting the ice pack and kissing her head. "It's fine. I'll just be sore for a while. I'm not mad at you my love." He said and rubbed her back. "However, wanna help me into the bed?" He asked, slowly trying to get up. "I'm not mad, I love you." He murmured trying to reassure her.

Aleaha nodded as she looked at Yang, frowning softly as he explained. "Man people really don't agree with this." She said and rubbed the back of her neck. Aleaha was worried about the safety of all of her kingdom. She didn't want rebellion hurting her people. And being pregnant, then having to care for the baby, she wouldn't be able to help a great deal with Eri.
