Blade (ブレイド)

Incredible.

Lucius being defeated by Blade is an outcome that we had not foreseen.

Daywalker's power is formidable.

Blade and all those who turn against us must be killed.

-Calm yourselves, please. -But...

We of the High Council are the chosen pure-bloods.

There is no need to be concerned about the doings of impudent, inferior beings.

Let's have Blade and Deacon Frost fight a great battle.

When they get tired, that will give us sufficient time for us to make our move.

If we can get them to fall together, we'll kill two birds with one stone.

No, we should nip danger in the bud as soon as possible.

Between Blade and Frost's Existence...

...we're facing enemies on two fronts.

That's a bit of an overestimation.

The dirty half-breed and his ilk are no match for us pure-bloods.

Your ideas fly in the face of danger.

Why do you say it like that?

Are you insulting us?

Open your eyes and take a good look around!

Have your 400 years of wasted life dulled your thinking?

This is exactly the problem of senility.

Shut up!

What the hell do you 200-year-old children know about anything?

-What did you say? -Enough, gentlemen.

It's just as Lucius Isaac's final report states.

If Existence has begun preparations for a war against us...

...we should try to wedge them apart.

But for the span of a few thousand years, we of the High Council...

...have continued to reign as superiors to all kinds...

...throughout the history of darkness.

Eternity has been bestowed upon us.

There is no change upon that fact.

And it will never change.

-I'd better be off. -Please, be careful.

Daddy? Where are you going?

Alice.

Don't you worry, now.

I'll be back before you know it.

Damn!

I sense something.

Northwestern Vietnam

Logan was right...

...but we never expected that we'd be the ones who got chased.

-Let's separate here. -What? That's out of the blue.

Come on, it's just a scratch. I'm good to go.

Why don't you head back while I draw the ninja away?

You can't defeat them with your skills.

It's not like I'm the only one who got hurt!

By morning, I'll be fully healed, but you won't be.

Razor, stay with her.

So much for being a team, huh?

So I guess that's it. I'm nothing but dead weight to you now.

The worst part is I know you're right.

The last thing you need is for me to slow you down.

Razor, come on, boy.

Wait.

But this was your mom's.

Do me a favor? Try not to lose it, okay?

If you come with me, you'll only get hurt.

For now it's better to be separated.

You son of a bitch! You should have said so from the beginning.

All right. I'll return it when I see you again...

...because it's important to you.

Take care, partner. See you around.

They're coming back. Hurry up.

Eric.

I see you're awake now.

Don't stare at me like that.

I helped you when you were left for dead in the jungle.

Great blade, huh? Best of all, it's well-maintained.

I was able to see how you fought.

You're the vampire hunter, Blade, aren't you?

What are you going to do with me?

I thought so.

That's not what I'm gonna decide now.

You're with them. Part of the Existence organization.

Actually, they're a nuisance, because they chase me everywhere.

A stake made of silver.

It's useless for a vampire like you.

So you noticed?

Whatever.

It's not like I had any choice in the matter.

Name's Stan Davis. Sergeant Major, United States Marine Corps.

My unit was stationed near here towards the end of the war.

I don't suppose you've heard of the V-Project?

-No, never. -Not many people have.

It's a long story, and not a pretty one.

Daywalker, I want you to hear us out.

Us?

I'd been transferred from my unit and assigned to Special Ops.

So it was no surprise when my C.O. told me...

...I'd been selected for a special assignment.

Saigon

I was young and naive.

I believed we'd bring world peace once we'd won the war.

I could endure anything for my country.

The V-Project.

The Army gave soldiers injections the CIA had acquired from A.I.M.

It was unbelievable stuff that would create an invincible force...

...capable of turning the tide of the war.
