Raja, bold as brass, sauntered into the Lycan den, pinging his location to Selene via Telepathy like a supernatural GPS.
Escorted to Lucian, the Alpha Lycan, Raja's fearless swagger left Lucian gobsmacked. "Yo, Lucian the Alpha, how's it hangin'?"
Raja grinned, plopping into a chair like he owned the place.
Lucian twitched, "I'm fine, human, but who are you? Why meddle in our medieval war? Vampire lackey now?"
Raja's smile was pure mischief, "Super secret, bro. Wanna hear it in front of your furry posse?"
Lucian, annoyed, eyed his Lycan guards, who bristled, refusing to leave their boss with this cocky unknown.
Irritated, Lucian snapped, "If he wanted me dead, we'd be dog food already. I've seen his power—no one stops him. Scram!" The Lycans slunk out, tails between legs.
Alone, Raja leaned in, "Lucian, why wage this war? Vampire supremacy or revenge for Sonja and your unborn kid?"
Lucian's jaw dropped—how did this human know his tragic past, the spark of the vampire-Lycan feud? After a tense pause, he growled, "Revenge."
Raja clapped like a game show host, "Bingo! If I hand you a half-dead Viktor for your vengeance, will you call off this war?"
Lucian, after a beat calculated everything, nodded, sealing the deal with a handshake.
Just then, Kraven burst in, fangs bared.
Spotting Raja, Kraven lunged, but Raja casually grabbed his neck, slamming him onto a bench, chaining him up and plastering his mouth shut.
"Sit, weasel," Raja sneered.
Spotting a Desert Eagle with UV rounds on a table, Raja requested, "Five minutes, Lucian." He strolled outside, popping Kraven's vampire goons with headshots, dropping them like flies in a montage of badassery.
Lucian and his Lycans gaped, spooked. Back inside, Raja laid out his plan: "Lucian, prep your pack—Viktor's army's coming. I'll whoop Viktor, hand him over half-dead. Selene, my girl, becomes Vampire Queen, and we call a truce—no clan genocide. Deal?"
Lucian, impressed, agreed, but glanced at Kraven, trembling.
Lucian asked "What about him?"
Raja's evil grin chilled them both: "This bitch slapped my goddess. Eternal torture's on the menu." Kraven whimpered; Lucian gulped.
Raja ripped off Kraven's mouth plaster. "Please, Raja, I'll pay, apologize to Selene, leave the country!" Kraven begged.
Raja smirked, "Spill the dirtiest truth about Viktor and Selene, or eat a bullet."
Kraven, sweating, caved: "Selene's family wasn't killed by Lycans—Viktor did it."
Raja's eyes darkened, gun to Kraven's head, "Everything."
Kraven spilled, "Viktor, ignoring his own rules, craved human blood over livestock. He'd binge on villages, draining them. One night, he slaughtered Selene's family, but she reminded him of his daughter Sonja, so he spared her, raising her as a Death Dealer."
Lucian nodded, confirming Viktor's bloodlust.
Raja, grim, absorbed the betrayal.
A Telepathy ping from Selene hit—her army had arrived.
"Lucian, vampires are here. Signal the attack, but nobody touches Selene, or no prize," Raja ordered.
Lucian bolted to rally his pack.
Raja sent Selene a telepathic shortcut to his location, flashing Kraven's face, saying, "Ditch the team, moon goddess. I've got a gift."
Selene, stunned by his mind-chat, snapped, "How're you in my head? You nabbed Kraven? Wait, I'll gut him myself!" She ditched her squad, sprinting through tunnels per Raja's directions.
Ten minutes later, she burst in, spotting Lucian and aiming her guns. Lucian raised his hands, smirking.
Raja, grinning, said, "Chill, he's harmless. Come see my surprise."
Selene, glaring at Lucian, approached Raja. "How can you chill with the Lycan king? He's why my family's dead!"
Raja's smile softened, "Kraven's got a different story about that. Wanna hear?"
Selene froze, "What story?"
Raja nodded at Kraven, who quaked. "Selene, Lycans didn't kill your family—Viktor did," spilling Kraven's confession.
Selene's world shattered, her body trembling. "No, Kraven and Lucian are lying! Viktor wouldn't—not to his daughter's memory!"
Raja, calm, said, "How about we make Viktor confess himself?"
Leaving Selene with Lucian and Kraven, Raja linked his vision to hers via Telepathy, like VR streaming.
Dual-wielding a UV-round Desert Eagle and a silver-nitrate-loaded gun, Raja stormed the tunnels like a one-man wrecking crew, headshotting vampires and Lycans with surgical precision.
MAYA: "Master, you're a walking action flick!"
Reaching a cavern, he found Viktor, fresh from slaying a Lycan, eyes blazing with war lust, ready to face the Chaos King himself.
Raja strutted into the Lycan den's tunnels, popping Viktor's bodyguard vampires with UV-round headshots like a carnival sharpshooter.
Locking eyes with the Elder, he grinned, "Yo, ancient fossil fuel, why're your vamps gunning for me? Your orders?"
Selene, watching through Raja's telepathic VR link, frowned, confused.
Viktor's glare could melt steel. "Filthy human monkey, you touched my precious daughter! I ordered your death—guess I'll do it myself!"
Selene's heart sank, shocked by her adoptive father's venom.
Raja smirked, "Wow, old man, adoptive daughter, right? Just ran into Kraven—put a gun to his head. He spilled all dirty deeds about you? Mind-blowing."
Viktor's smug smile oozed arrogance. "Traitor Kraven's a coward. Should've seen it coming. No matter—you and he die with my secrets."
He lunged with a sword, but Raja dodged like a ninja, drawing his katana for a flashy duel.
Mid-clash, Raja mocked, "Heard from Lucian you killed your own daughter—Sonja, was it? How's it feel to ice your kin?"
Viktor, enraged, roared, "Don't speak her name, monkey! I'll torture you forever!"
Raja upped the taunts, "You killed her, not me! Oh, Kraven spilled about your creepy fetish too—what's that about?"
Viktor, flustered by Raja's slick counters, snarled, "Keep yapping, boy. I'll bathe in your blood!"
Raja grinned, "Kraven said you hunt villages to sate your sadistic kicks—kin-killer vibes, right?"
Viktor, livid, screamed, "Shut it and die!"
Raja laughed, "Struck a nerve, Old Leather? One last thing: did you kill Selene's family?"
Viktor froze, then attacked in a frenzy, but Raja's superhuman reflexes parried every blow.
"So it's true," Raja pressed, "Selene reminded you of Sonja, so you spared her, made her a vampire—your daughter's replacement."
Viktor hissed, "I'll capture and torture you daily!"
Raja, unfazed, quipped, "You killed Sonja for loving a Lycan, now you're mad at Selene's got a human mate. Face it, Grandpa—you're a racist."
Viktor's bat-like face twisted. "My daughters can't be tainted by filth! I'll kill my kin to keep tradition!"
Raja's grin faded. With a swift katana slash, he sent Viktor crashing into the wall, the Elder stunned, thinking, How's this human so strong?
Raja called out, "Selene, Lucian, showtime for revenge!"
Viktor, spotting Selene, barked, "Kill Lucian, our enemy!"
Tears streamed down Selene's face. "You killed my family, manipulated me to fight your wars! What kind of father are you?"
Viktor scoffed, "I took your parents but gave you immortality. Ungrateful child!" Betrayed, Selene fled the tunnel, sobbing.
Viktor, furious, lunged at Raja, yelling, "You did this, monkey! Die!"
Raja, cool as ice, slashed the air in a blink, sheathing his katana and strolling away. "He's yours, Lucian." A second later, Viktor's limbs dropped like chopped fruit, leaving him a helpless torso.
Lucian cackled, overjoyed, and pummeled Viktor, dragging him off for torture.
Raja marched to Kraven's hidey-hole, where the traitor quivered.
With a swift katana flick, Raja lopped off Kraven's beeds, forcing him to swallow, "Eat up, weasel," leaving his body bleeding and dangling like a grim piñata.
MAYA: "Master, you're turning justice into performance art!"
Finding Selene, Raja wrapped her in a warm hug, kissing her gently. "Rough day, moon goddess. How about a holiday—far from this mess?"
Selene, nestled in his chest, nodded, tears drying.
Raja winked, "Got a big gift coming. You'll love it."
He led her to Vayu Putra, his Black and Gold-up Ambassador car, its quirky charm making her chuckle. When Raja floored it, the car roared like a rocket, adrenaline surging as they sped toward the mansion, wind whipping their hair.
