Brad didn't respond at all, his eyes closed. Here was a huge gash across his stomach and back, wrapping all the way around him. His left forearm looked as if the bone had been snapped in half and it was poking out of his skin a bit. His right foot was bent all the way back to the point where it was touching the back of his leg. Multiple small slashes ran all the way down his right arm, all of which oozed blood. His left leg and lower back were all bloody and scraped, he'd slid a bit when he hit the ground. The weapon he had been using previously, still in the form of a dagger, ended up stabbed right into his own neck. Tuck's arms and hands got drenched with blood once he touched Brad's head. Blood slowly dripped down the corner of Brad's mouth, though it was difficult to tell with all the blood already on his face..
Nora only hovered in midair, completely silenced and looking down at their fallen soldier. She didn't seem to notice anything around her and was lucky the monster didn't try to take a whack at her during this moment. She was completely stunned and would not be able to avoid any blows that came in her direction..
"...Ohmygod!!" Sheldon dashed after Tuck, then fell to his knees right next to Brad. He paled to the point in which he could complete with Bella over who's skin was more white. He carefully reached down, pulled the weapon out of Brad's neck and set it aside. "Ishestillbreathingishebreathing..." He rested his head on Brad's chest while he rested some fingers on his bloody neck to check a pulse.. It took like forever before he could pick up any movement.. "...Stillalive.. still alive.." He announced in a raspy, quiet voice.

"Staywithus, Brad.. Pleasestaywithus.." Tuck stuttered as he gently hugged his brother's head, seeming to pale even further as his little heart skipped a beat. "Brad please stay with us.." He begged as his voice began to crackle while his eyes lit with tears that just built up in his eyes instead of running down them immediately like they would normally. His breathing picked up as he felt the breath in his throat choke up. He just hugged his brother's head as he watched him with unblinking teary eyes..
Bella just hovered there, staring at Brad with widened emerald eyes as her crystal became slightly darker gray with a small blue mist on the inside, signaling heavy worry. She felt herself even choke on her own breathing so she couldn't say a thing or even breathe.. Not a thing at all she could say.. She was blown into complete and utter shock. A small, tiny tear of blood ran down the side of her face before she began to slowly grit her teeth and narrow her eyes to the near point of closing as her eyes went completely green, no white in sight. Her nails began to dig into her palms deeply as her skin began to pale faster than normal.
Danny had flown down just now to try and heal Brad, but he found no succeed.. Why couldn't he heal him!? The poor boy was dying!! He kept trying to heal him but it kept failing..

Sheldon was trying desperately to try and stop the bleeding, but there were too many gaping wounds... It was almost pathetic to watch him trying to desperatly and failing so badly. He took off his jacket and wrapped it around Brad's stomach since it was the only thing he had big enough to cover that injury.. and it wasn't even totally covered. He ripped off his pant legs and tried to bandage up other wounds with them.. He tried applying pressure to bleeding areas in an attempt to make it stop.. But even if he could get it to quit there were too many injuries for it to really be much of an affect... Tears rolled down his cheeks. He kept his hand on Brad's wrist, monitoring his pulse. He didn't have the heart to tell anyone it was slowing..
Suddenly, a loud sound echoed across the entire city, comparable to that of a sonic boom. A blast of red light fell from the sky above and landed down on the monster. It'd been a giantantic laser beam, which was more then big enough to be sure the entire creature was hit and no part of it's disfigured body was spared. As the laser was semitransparent, everyone could see the skin ripping and melting off the monster's very bone and muscle. It seemed to be roaring, probably screaming in pain but no one could hear it. A few parts of the beast dissolved entirely, like many of the tentacles and it's horns. When the laser finally finished reining down a horrid and painful wrath of the monster, the creature made a strange gaspy noise and stood on shaking legs. Black bubbling blood dripped down it's body and formed a near lake under it's feet.
Nora had only watched this happen, her eyes narrowed to mere slits. She'd caused the laser to fire onto the creature from a satalite in space. She had never used that laser before, fearing it was too dangerous.. Her thumb had been pressing the button of the remote control so hard that it broke on her hands.. She merely hovered there for a moment, then quickly flew down wordlessly and helped Sheldon trying to fix the dying child, though the struggle seemed pointless..

Tuck buried his face into Brad's hair, beginning to crackle-sob while holding his head close to him while stroking his hair.. Hecouldn'ttakethis.. He couldn't.. He slowly turned his head from his dying brother and narrowed his eyes at the monster.. then he grabbed his gun, aimed it directly at his chest and fired a long and painful beam of fire mixed with lightening at it, piercing through the chest completely as he kept firing and barely moving across the ground from such powerful blows. Second shot was ice grenades that'd explode into ice crystals after hitting it's target and numbing the spot hit with pain. Then third shot was HUGE plasma beams that seemed to last the longest, which he dragged down from the chest to the stomach.
Bella's sharp teeth were now gritted against eachother very roughly.. One's teeth might break from being so grinded, but not her's.. Her vampire fangs had grown extra sharp to the point where a mere light touch of them could make someone bleed. Her skin was completely snow white and hair was beginning to whip around behind her as the skies suddenly became dark like rain clouds, only more unsettling and uncomfortable.. Witch clouds.. Green lightening began to thunder in the sky before STRIKING down into Isabella, causing her hair to whip around her even more as her cape flapped in the settling in strong winds ferociously as her crystal turned pure pitch black with nothing seen in it, not even a reflection of the sky above. Her body after the thunder strike began to radiate an almost blinding green light that had lightening surging from it and SHOOTING directly into the monster, causing such bone-wrecking pain along with nerve-wrecking pain as well. Her symbol appeared on her forehead as it FLASHED a blinding bright green before she DOVE at the monster and began to shoot the lightening into it's body even more, building on the more pain while some of the lightening even began to peel the meat off it's bone and even destroy it while also cracking the bones in it's body.
Danny could tell the heart was slowing down and was trying not to panick and instead try and remain calm.. He kept trying to heal even though it kept failing.. He was just trying so hard to keep this boy alive.. Not let him die in his arms.. No.. He wouldn't allow it.. He created black cloth in his hands and began to treat the wounds as well as he could..

Both Nora and Sheldon quit focusing on Brad for just a moment to work on Tuck's gun while he wasn't paying attention.. The blasts of course became extremely powerful do to this quick upgrade and the next round Tuck fired blasted a hole the size of a large mansion into the monster. Sheldon also quickly tossed a small circular device at the creature's head. It grew into something like a bubble around it's head.. Just to keep the unsettling noise of the screaming inside the bubble and away from their ears. It wasn't like a barrier though, the any damage done to the creature's head would still be done. The only thing the bubble would do is keep it's screaming silent.. Sheldon didn't want to hear it at all.. Both the nerds returned to trying to help Bradley stay alive with Danny.
Who was to say what the monster's screeches sounded like? Probably horrific, it was a good thing it could not be heard. It's once unfeeling eyes felt the powerful overwhelming emotions of intense pain and misery. If the monster had the intelligence to feel regret, there is no doubt it would feel that as well. It was suffering so very much for what it had done to Brad, it had picked the wrong city to attack and the wrong group of friends. Skin peeled off it's horrific muscle, muscle peeled off it's horrific bones, bones shattered and cracked. Yet somehow it still lived, it lived through the horrid wrath of it's victims livid companions. The blood was dripping everywhere, even squirting out. But it did not stick around for long, the blood was soon disintegarted by the terrible wrath inflected upon the beast. The disgusting little blobs that resided inside of it were destoried once exposed to the air. If they were not quickly killed by Isabella or Tuck's gun, they exploded into deep crimson and purple ooze. If the monster was capable of thought, there was no hope it wished to die quicker to escape this torture. It was going to be pounded into dust and out of existence..

Tuck kept firing at the monster, not letting up once at all.. He did notice the upgrade, which gave him the more reason to keep firing like mad at the monster. He fired a few more HUGE plasmas at the monster, completely obliterating it's middle possibly while thunder bolts followed after the plasma and shoot deeply into the monster's body for a moment, wrecking it with pain once more before he returned to destroying the rest of it's middle. He wasn't going to stop till this thing was dead, dead and gone...
Bella kept throwing her lightening at the monster as she flew around the monster at top speed, causing the wind the pick up around the monster and begin to tear the rest of it's skin and flesh from bone and began to even pull out some of the monster's bone.. The faster Bella flew, the faster the wind picked up.. The stronger it got from the witch/vampire.. Green lightening began to randomly spark from the wind that surrounded the monster, making crackling noises as it SHOT into the monster's body and began to cause little lightening bolts within it's body and began to destroy it slowly from the inside, trying to anyways.. and some began to form into hooks as they SHOT out of the monster, still attached to the lightening inside of the monster.. And they began to stretch out with the lightening still attached and began to actually rip the monster open.. One of Isabella's hands shot up as didn't even have to mutter a spell out loud but instead inside her mind.. And black vines SHOT OUT OF THE GROUND and wrapped around the monster, black vines that could remind one of sharp long crow's feet that held the monster down and was beginning to crawl up it's body.. Everywhere it crawled sucked blood from the monster or drained it's energy. Some vines began to implant themselves into the monster, shooting through it's system and soaring all over it's body, no doubt bringing the beast even more pain.. Some vines shot completely through the monster though and rested where it came out and suddenly blossomed into black flowers that opened right away and where the bud/or center would normally be was a hole instead that began to pump blood out of the monster's body along with an occassional vein or two, or three.
Danny took his attention from Brad for only a moment to glare angrily at the monster.. He raised his hand as a flashing black ball appeared in his hand that grew about as large as a beach ball before he BLASTED it off at the monster's neck, planning to decapitate the beast.. Danny's eyes flash black as he glared even more coldly at the beast before turning back to Brad, covering up his wounds and trying to treat them the best he could..

Soon... all that was left of the monster was a little stain of black blood on the ground ; "Maybe we should try getting him back home.. I have much more technology there, we could probably save him.." Nora whispered to her husband and Sheldon in a hushed tone. "I.. I don't know if it.. it's s..safe to move him... and.. and.. he..mightnotmakeitallthewaythere..." Sheldon choked on both his words and tears.. It wasn't even clear Brad was alive anymore, once in awhile he could just barely feel a pulse.. Nora didn't reply.. The boy was right.

Tuck dropped his gun and went back to paying absolute attention to his dying brother.. His arms wrapped gently around his brother's head as he hugged it again, his eyes squeezing shut as the tears finally got to fall down his cheeks after being held still for so long.. His eyes squinted open just a bit as he sobbed cracklingly, nuzzling his brother's hair. "Isabella do something!!! M..make everyth.. everything okay again!!!" He called to the young witch/vampire as he buried his tear-soaked face into Brad's hair, his shoulders shivering...
Bella glared at the blood spot on the ground and simply ZAPPED it with lightening.. Then looked in the direction of the group as her eyes slowly turned back to normal as she hovered down to them, her boots gently crunching the gravel below her as she walked over to the group and kneeled down next to Brad. She looked over him as her skin remained so snow white, looking confused or conflicted for a moment as she laid a cold hand on the side of his face.. She knew of only one way to make everything alright again.. The only way.. She gently lifted Brad into her arms so carefully as she brought her head down to his neck, her mouth opening as she gently bit into his neck..
Danny kind of froze once seeing his daughter's decision, but untensed after a moment.. It.. really was the only way to keep Brad alive.. There was no other way since they couldn't move him..

"...Hurry up, his pulse stopped!" Sheldon randomly latched to Bella and hid his face in her hair, shivering and shaking a bit. He'd be okay though.. Bella knew what she was doing.. He wanted to reassure Tuck he would be okay and wake up before they knew it, but his mind was a jumbled mess and he couldn't even form the words he wanted to.. But he did reach over and hold one of Tuck's hands...
"I don't.. imagine he'll mind all that much.." Nora commented to her husband, then leaned against him and watched this all with a frown.. Nora had no idea how she wasn't crying.. Maybe she'd seen too much in all her ears to cry.. She supposed the fact the boy would be okay helped.. If Brad really was going to die she would think tears would be inevitable..

"Pleasesavehim..." Tuck sobbed as he hid his face in Brad's hair, shivering and hugging his head.. He knew Isabella would save him though.. She wouldn't let him die.. She wouldn't.. She wasn't like that.. He curled up a bit on the ground while his tears soaked Brad's hair a bit. Once he felt Sheldon holding his hand, he squeezed it a bit tightly while holding it.
Bella held Brad a bit closer with gentle arms, her eyes closing as she began to glow a faint, slightly cold green glow, causing her hair and cape to gently weave a bit. As she continued to gently bite Brad, some brightly glowing blood gently poured from her fangs just a bit and into Brad's weak blood stream, along with a white glowing stream mixed with green light.. This liquid, this light, it all began to change Brad's body slowly.. settling in the body, the instincts, the senses and everything else of a vampire.. Giving him new life..
Danny nodded a bit and wrapped his arms a bit tightly around his wife, holding her close with a frown as well.. He would be crying right now, he really would.. But he was the same as his wife, and he wanted to stay strong for the rest of the group..

Brad opened his eyes for just a split second.. He looked around at everyone in the group, his eyes looking a bit glazed and unfocused.. He started at Tuck for a few seconds then passed out again.
Though it wasn't much, Sheldon found that sign of life to be extremely reassuring and he calmed down considerably.. "Let's get him out of here as soon as we can.." He requested. His voice was very weak and quiet, but he wasn't stumbling over his words nearly as much anymore.
Nora ever so gently picked up Bradley's wrist to feel for his pulse, then looked a bit more content and reassured. "He's definitely going to be okay." She told Tuck more then anyone. His pulse was back and starting to get back to a normal rate.. It was still low much much better then nothing.

"Ohthankgoddd.." Tuck sobbed once seeing Brad's eyes open as he huggled his head a little more, nuzzling his hair as more tears fall down his cheeks.. "..Y-yeah.. Let's ge-get him back to the house.. S-so he can rest.." He nodded and sighed stutteringly in relief.. He was so relieved that his brother was going to be okay.. He parted his face from Brad's hair for one moment to look to the group. "W-when can we go..?"
After she finished turning Brad, Bella gently slid her fangs out from his neck and watched the puncture marks glow green for a moment, making the mark of the vampire glow for a moment longer before healing up.. She looked over Brad as she held him in her arms, then looked to the group. "He will be fine.. He'll need rest for a day or two so the new changes in his body can settle in.. But he will be fine.."
Danny nodded to his daughter as he gently brought some of Brad's hair away from his face, seeming much more relieved once he seen Brad's eyes opened for the moment before passing out.. Such a good sign that was to see..

"Ihopehehealsupsoon.." Sheldon had noticed the bleeding had stopped, but it didn't seem like the wounds were healing themselves at all.. Maybe they would once his body got more accepting for the vampireness.. Or maybe they couldn't heal.. Danny hadn't been able to heal Brad.. Maybe Brad wouldn't be able to heal himself either!! ..Noo Sheldon, don't get all frazzled now.. Brad's alive, that's what's important.. The geek took deeep caaaalming breaths, trying to chillll ouuuuttt.. They would go to the Wakeman's, bandage Brad and let him sleep.. Everything was going to be f-i-n-e...
".... >>" Nora randomly looked up... at all the eyes staring at them... A lot of people had been watching the dramatic event unfold in front of them with giant eyes of disbelief. "WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AAAAT" The elder scientist yelled at them and flailed her arms around. INSTANTLY all the observers scattered, gone in a flash. Then Nora put on a small, worried but gentle and reassuring smile that could calm most anyone who looked at it and looked to Tuck. "We can leave at any time." She then looked to her husband Danny and daughter Bella. "Would one of you be so kind as to take us home? Walking would be a bit troublesome.."

"Good..." A slightly hoarse Tuck sighred in relief, his eyes closing one more as he nuzzled into Brad's hair.. He wanted Brad to be laying down somewhere more comfortable than where they were now..
Bella GLARED at all the onlookers, not in the mood to see them.. She would have hissed but decided not to.. Her mommy had them scared off. She looked to her mommy and smiled a bit.. "I will.." She answered and quickly teleported the six of them back to the house and to either to the lab if Nora wanted to take care of Brad or to Bella's room..
Tuck hugged his brother's head and curled up beside him, petting his hair as he opened his teary eyes and watched his brother. "H.. He will soon heal, r-right..?" He asked Isabella as he looked up to her.
"It'll be a while, but yes, he will heal.." Bella nodded.
Danny made a soft relieved sigh once they were home, his eyes turning back to normal.

Nora didn't really want to work on Bradley. He would be fine and she felt a comfortable bed was needed more then anything at the moment, so into Bella's room the group appeared.
Right away, Sheldon zipped over to the bed and fluffed up the pillows. He tried to rearrange the bed to be as comfy as possible. He wanted their injured brother to be resting in perhaps the most comfortable place on the Earth. It'd do wonders for him, no doubt.
Nora just walked over and sat on the edge of the bed, remaining a quiet observer of the children..
Brad showed no movement other then some shallow breathing.. But these shallow breaths were much better then his past breathing. At least now everyone could at least tell he was.
