Camarilla Part: (Because the things Aki can tell in the plotline are limited, some events are pushed for example the things regarding the situation of Camarilla so she can only tell the core points.)

The focus is now on the Camarilla, how I said before, the Camarilla is parted in two sides, remember one side stick with Ventrue ( Ge Chens People) the other side, especially the elders of the seven clans, believes in Brujahs words. Before I already have mentioned in the plotline that Brujah Clan wants to get rid of the Ventrue. That’s why after the crisis for the vampires broken out Brujah took an advantage of the turmoil the crisis caused and incite with their lies the other clan members so that they would isolate and part from Ventrue Clan. They forced Ge Chen to kill Yue Jian but before he could do that she managed to run away and Brujahs members blamed the Ventrue Clan for this incident (they also won’t overlook this event). Afterwards Ge Chen make use of the rumors of the weapons which came up as a result of his announcement in public before, to alleviate camarillas situation but this can only stable the position of Ventrue for a short time then now once again a crisis is approaching Camarilla and put the Leaders position of Ventrue again on the line.

To complete their misery a spy among of their own members occurred and let almost the whole Camarilla exposed their identity in the world. (Remember the humans only know that the Vampires rules big company’s but not who exactly they are) After a urgent research the ones who investigates this case are sure that the spy must be one of Ventrues men those news put the leader position of Ventrue in danger to fall down again. In order to end this commotion the spy caused as quickly as possible and avoid more trouble, Ventrue want immediately to dispose of the identity and get rid of the spy amongst them but when Ge Chen try to track down later, he find out Brujah clan spreads those rumor of a spy on purpose to frame Ventrue. Ge Chen then goes to the elders to state his results to them. He wants to settle this case and also to stop Brujah however the elders don’t want to take care of it and refuse to acknowledge that Brujah would be the ones who spread the rumor of a spy (the plotline process goes straight very much at this point) .and on top of that they don’t want to listen to his statement because of the pasts events they harbor grudges against Ge Chen. (They still are mad at him and blame him for the case regarding Yue Jian) Then Ge Chen decides for himself that it would be the best to get rid of Brujahs mainstay and so he intends to annihilate Brujah clan's elder and the three princes. However after all of Ge Chen's men are still against his plan because the Camarilla has an absolute rule. Since the Camarilla has a lot of members it was necessary to come forth with this rule in order to prevent fights among the members this especially refers to fights were blood would be sheet. The rule said that each Clan has to make sure that they prevent fights and if members would be rebel the Clan must be punish them. (That’s also the reason why Lu An and Xi Jiu must died. After their dead it was strictly forbidden for the members to talk about them. This prohibition goes to an extent were even his own family members never have told Ge Chen about Lu An.) And at least those rebelling fights should never happen between the seven clan members.

Ge Chen is aware of this rule and also that when he would kill Brujah's mainstay he would also be killed from his own clansmen. My father is right, I just should have fetched the Demon King's power and should have collected Osiris fragments but I didn’t carry out these two things so the leader position doesn’t fit me. All I have done is to bring disaster to the Camarilla. He didn’t want to kill Yue Jian so he acted willfully but in the view of his clan he has no reason for not killing her. He could only deeply apologize and blame himself for his selfishness. Because Ge Chen doesn’t want to disappoint his clan more than he already have, he changed his plan instead of killing Brujahs leader he decides to go alone to prison city and sacrifice his live in order to destroy those weapons. This action of him would not only ensure the camarilla it would also liberate all vampires. Yet the humans believes that those weapons could also harm them and since Sabbat helps the humans to get rid of the skeleton army, right now, would be the best time to change the view humans have for vampires if one of these so called vampires would use his life to destroy those horrible weapons…

Several members discussed for a long time over Ge Chen’s decision in the end they all approved his plan, or we should better say they couldn’t came up with a better solution. After Lila hugged him she asked him if he wanted to see his father and tell him some last words. Ge Chen agreed to this. Mason just has said one sentence: ” Forgive me…but what ever happened I always has seen you as a son who I was very proud of. Always.” Ge Chen couldn’t see his father’s face but even so he knew that Mason would shed tears.

They took care of the preparations for his plan. Aki: At this point I would like to explain the three reasons why Ge Chen wants to sacrifice his live instead of killing Brujahs members: 1. Despite his young age he’s not only just a member of Ventrue he’s also their leader (and the leader of the whole camarilla) so he represent the Ventrue clan itself. His plan would not only put the crisis between the rest of Camarilla and the Ventrue Clan to an end it would also ensure Ventrues position as Camarillas leader. 2. The Camarilla have had to experience a lot of losses because of Ge Chens actions so when he sacrifice himself he can tidy up the mess he caused for his clan and for the Camarilla. 3. The situation is also a matter of physical strength (means Brujahs Clan is a necessary factor for the Camarilla). At the very beginning to the time when Meison wanted to speak with Ge Chen, he already have talked about this matter with his father. But regarding the matter with Brujah, except for two external problems, Meison also mentioned a third point which makes this plan impossible. Although Meison is sometimes a ferocious person and difficult to deal but despite that he already has lead the Camarilla into a period of glory. Furthermore the Brujah Clan is a fighting Clan, their fighting power is also outstanding and unique even his father can’t compete with their strength, this also includes their princes as the three mainstays. The Camarilla needs Brujahs military service. However right now Ge Chen possesses one half of Osiris whole power so right now Ge Chen is the strongest person in camarilla. But Ge Chen never has made this widely known and revealed his power nor would he make use of this Power to persuade others since he doesn’t like to use force as a method. As a result the other members don’t know how strong he is. Therefore Brujah believes that Ge Chen would be weak and so they wanted to knock him down. Brujahs clan elder can’t tolerate Ge Chen but all the time they don’t have a reason to get rid of him and pretense cordiality. But in truth, since Brujah is a fighting Clan they admirer strength and wanted the fragments inside Ge Chens body. They used their schemes as a pretext to have a reason to carve up Ge Chen body so that they could get the fragments.

At the time where Ge Chen reveal that he wants to kill Brujah's mainstay people his actions seems malicious and cruel but this cruelness is the biggest part which symbolize him as a vampire (means all vampires has this cruelness inside them and Ge Chen is not an exception.) He warned them with this. Afterwards some elders which have a connection with Brujah rushed over to him and shout they would punish Ventrue for this but right after they heard that Ge Chen plans to sacrifice himself their anger calmed down and they get mute.

As If their minds were connected and fate has ordained it, Xi Yan, Yue Jian and Ge Chen run into each other in the same place. Moreover Ge Chen came not complete without support, he has Asamites assassination troops at his side who helps him to sneak into Prison City, yet at that time when Xi Yan and Yue Jian have catch sight of him and the troops they are astonished to see Ge Chen together with the troops. Compared with the way they thought of to intrude, they don’t expect it would be so easy. (They couldn’t know that Ge Chen would appear together with Assamites people.) Xi Yan and Yue Jian split up and run into separate ways. Xi Yan still disguised herself as Yue Jian as she did the times before and create confusion in the public to attracts attention on herself. (Inside the building) She killed a lot of the guards ruthless and without mercy, Yue Jian looked from a hidden place at Xi Yan and the scene in front of her eyes after all she forced a smile on her face and whispers: “I feel like I would be watching a scene from a tragedy play, still as before I detest you but to have you her right now and working as my shadow seems to be really helpful.”

Aki: I already have mentioned that Xi Yan has no other choice and have to change. To be more precise it means that Xi Yan changes more and more into a super villain the same one like Osiris is. She changes especially yet at this current time where they want to infiltrate into Prison City. Back then whenever Xi Yan was confronted with evil persons or their enemies she killed them very resolute even so much that the way she killed them looks a bit arrogant.( it means when she killed them she hasn’t done it in a cruel blood shedding way it was more like someone kill with an unmoved serious expression) She changes without choice into a devilish side, before she was always wavering between the sides and her outside appearance was different from the feelings she have inside (it refers to a two faced person, for example someone but up a smile in front of others but in the inside he’s very sad but doesn’t want to show this.) But because of the things she experienced she can now understand the meaning of Zhao Yans words in the past. Before she already has fight hand in hand together with Yue Jian ( look at the chapter regarding the fight at Forbidden Sphere), therefore both agreed to meet again on their old home. When Yue Jian catches sight of a dispirited Xi Yan she was astonished. Yue Jian originally disliked Xi Yan because of her conceited attitude. So the reason why she loathes Fan Le Lao is because he has the same conceited attitude like Xi Yan, but she accepts Fan Le Lao after he helped her to fight against the skeleton army. On top of that this time, she acknowledges Xi Yans ruthlessness as a factor which is suitable in this situation, (Because it’s useful) or better saying it’s necessarily. Things are not always black or white it’s just that all people have a choice to select which side of them they would prefer to. Yue Jian once refuses to acknowledge, that a change from white into black (means you are ruthless sometimes when its necessary) can be a useful factor in some situations to let you reach your goal. After Yue Jian accept this, she makes through her own change.

Besides a lot of humans outside the city walls makes a big demonstration in front of the entrance gate and oppress the situation, The majority of people catch sight of blood colored eyes for the first time in their live, so if they have seen Ge Chen, some people feel very afraid of him and shout:”Vampire!” then they want to run away, but they were blocked to go outside by Camarilla's and Sabbat's member, who disguised themselves and pretend to be ordinary humans. (Ge Chen inform the members to assist him so that the humans can’t run away and see the moment when the weapons get destroyed with their own eyes.) Meanwhile Xi Yan goes and search for Yue Jian.

In each direction of Prison city breaks out a total uproar and everything is sink in total chaos and in the center of this hopeless mess, after a long time Ge Chen and Yue Jian meet finally again, But both have difficulty to deal with their coincidentally meeting because they know they would part forever, In this moment she feels the same difficult feelings like Zhao Yan did when she parted away. YJ wants to go and carry out her plan to destroy the weapons but she was held up by Ge Chen who stands in her way, Ge Chen said to her what he has on his mind and that he must be the one who destroy those weapons. Of course Yue Jian tried her utmost to fight against him and tell him that she opposed his determination, at the same time she shouted at him:”I’m human! I can destroy those weapons! I can ensure that everyone will be alive! So why on earth would you also want to throw away your life, which reasons do you have to do that!!”

Actually Ge Chen doesn’t only just wants to destroy the weapons for the sake of Camarilla Furthermore it was because it’s highly probable that those weapons could also have an effect on humans. Or to be more precise either they have an effect or not, he is afraid that even if there is a one percent chance to hurt humans it also can be effect Yue Jian and he can‘t let those weapons harm her. So in the end it doesn’t matter if he destroy them either for the public or for his personal wishes in the end nothing change the factor that its extremely important to destroy those weapons. Besides Ge Chens analyze result shows that the weapons indeed must have an effect. Because if they would not have an effect then why didn’t use the government them at the very beginning in order to kill the vampires after they announced it to the public. Even when the people hearts begins to waver or when Set intensified the attacks on the humans, they never make a use of these weapons, neither have they proved their existence. They even went to the length and not spare to have a quarrel with Osiris. So in Ge Chen’s point of view there’s a very high possibility that those weapons simply not only should be attack vampires but rather each living being. So their enemy might not just only be the vampires, furthermore their enemies might also be other living beings or it also can be another country they want to wipe out…

"No, no…I don’t want to experience this again…why do you want to make the same willfully choice like her and act on your own!' (Of course with HER she means Zhao Yan. Yue Jian may not remember Zhao Yan but in her sub consciousness Zhao Yan still exist but she isn’t aware of this.)“Forgive me, I’m sorry Yue Jian but this time I can’t make a selfish choice because of you. The time before I always decided things for your sake but this time is different .it will be the last time where I will make a choice and this choice will be for the sake of camarilla, this time I will act as a Leader of Camarilla.”

She couldn’t do something to change his choice all she could do was to cry like a little child would do. Ge Chen softly embraces her face in his hands and lifts it up. Then he smiles at her it was the same tender and kindly smile he has shown to her in her dream. Because it will be the last time for them Ge Chen finally decides to tell Yue Jian all of his hidden feelings, which lays insides his heart, in a way that she can’t misunderstand his feelings.

"I love you, Yue Jian. I really love you."

All she could do was to look with a puzzled expression at him then he softly kissed her on her cheek (Literally it says face I choose to write on the cheek because I’m sure he doesn’t kiss her on the lips cause Ge Chen is to shy…well since its saying face and there are no pictures you can all interpret it like you want) after he kissed her Yue Jian still stare at him with a distracted look. There was no time for her to answer to his confession because Xi Yan came running straight to her and drags her away. Even when Xi Yan dragged her away she still was puzzled and couldn’t react. Now she could feel that something was growing up in her heart but this kind of feeling extinguished immediately at the same time she feels so hopeless and doesn’t know what she could do. But the sounds of an enormous explosion wake her out of her dazed state and her ears begins to ringing Xi Yan used all her strength to drag Yue Jian to the outside. When they are out the building they could see a mass of people standing there and look with a blank expression in the same direction Xi Yan and Yue Jian came out. Immediately after they catch sight of Yue Jian some of the people begins to shout and declare her as “Witch!” but despite her expectation none of them make approaches towards her and try to catch her. Yue Jian was unable to say something she could only shout bitterly and cry in vain.

But no one would give them a time to take a breath. A large amount of Set's skeleton army rose up and launched a sneak attack at the crowd of humans. Set rushed over to Prison City after he heard the sound of the explosion. When he got there and has catch sight of Yue Jian, he intends to take advantage of the turmoil of the situation and snatch her away. But Fan Le Lao showed up in time and hindered Set to get her. Then Fan Le Lao doesn’t waste time and slapped her so that Yue Jian awoken from her dazed state. He slapped her quite ruthless since he couldn’t vent his anger, Fan Le Lao probably used this opportunity to calm down his anger. Back then, they run several times into Set and fight against him, but because they don’t have a completed Mi Yue Yin at that time, they could only run away in the end. However this time it’s a different case, immediately in a second Fan Le Lao's gaze focused to the place where Xi Yan stands.

On the other side because the weapons which could resist vampires exploded, the government people are in a state of panic, Osiris was also shocked because the report said that two witches would have been seen on the showplace (Yue Jian and Xi Xan) because of this confusing situation Osiris begins to suspect/ doubt that Xi Yan could have change sides. (Aki: because the fact that Xi Yan works together with Yue Jian looks for Osiris like she would has given up to get a completed Mi Yue Yin and that she has abandoned her promise to him that she will be together with him in each lifetime, for the rest of their lives.) In this lifetime of him, it seems that the human government betrayed him and now it looks like his beloved also betrayed him. Osiris isn’t willing to believe this, he can’t accept it. For the last hundred years it took him so much efforts and pain to create this plan and then his plan got destroyed in just a split moment. The untroubled and always calm Osiris, who carefully thinks about each step he would do, now doesn’t exist anymore, or we should better say he stopped to exist when the government threaten him with the weapons. But despite all that there is one thing that gives him a bit of hope on which he wants to hold on. He remembered Xi Yan's words. Back then she said to him that she will never abandon him. That’s why he has chosen to believe in her words and decided to trust her so he wanted to go and find her. In the moment when he decides to go and to accept the consequences he fears to suffer when he find her, someone gets in his way and prevent him from going. The one in front of him was no one else than Yi Sai.

When the weapons exploded the people inside Prison City were in a state of anxiety and their hearts slowly filled up with fear. Furthermore because of the explosion, some of the buildings are severely damaged and on the verge to collapse. However the government people didn’t care about the mess and it seems like they don’t want to deal with their enemies (Osiris and Xi Yan) and lock them up in prison for their crimes. Everyone feels insecure and in this chaotic situation Yi Sai use the opportunity to run away. Osiris seems to struggle hard without support so Yi Sai decides to pin him down.

(Remember, Aki told on page 2 that she indented to create a new character. A little child created by Yi Sai who looks like little companion and would replace Yi Sai during his absence. This child also would help Fan Le Lao and Yue Jian with his technology to fight against the skeleton army. But she never decides if he would really appear) Aki: In case I would let the little child Yi Sai would create, use in the main story, he would develop a method to get in touch with Yi Sai. Then Fan Le Lao would tell Yi Sai that he should restrain Osiris. In case I would not use him in the story, Yi Sai would use the chaotic situation in Prison City to flee. And even if that little child would not appear, Yi Sai and Fan Le Lao would have something like A connection bond and Yi Sai would get an intuitive feeling, which told him it would be the best to restrain Osiris. Before I already have told how Yi Sai's character is. He would be not a person who would act recklessly and take the initiative to provoke someone who would be much stronger than him. The reason why he goes now against this principle and block Osiris way is because it has a use for Sabbat. This action of him proves that for Yi Sai Sabbats sake will always come first. So when it has a use for Sabbat, he would prevent Osiris from going even when this would be mean his own death.

Yi Sai is aware of the consequences from his purpose to pin down Osiris, therefore even if it would be recklessly to fight against Osiris and he will not stand a chance against him, as long as he can prevent him from going and save with this action some time. So the success he fights for in this battle is to win time. However in the upshot after all his enemy is Osiris so he is aware that Osiris will kill him. (Even if both have a big disparity of force they consider each another as their arch rival therefore it’s necessary that both settle up everything in the end.)

When the point of time arrived for which Yi Sai was stalling up for time, he used the connection bond between them to inform Fan Le Lao about his success. But Fan Le Lao couldn’t respond to him because he was occupied with fighting against Xi Yan who suddenly launched a sneak attack on him. Xi Yan instinctively understand what they want to do and switched in her fighting modus. However the preceding battle used up a lot of her force and she has loosen a lot of her little Marionettes. ( Xi Yan’s way of fighting is made up of two parts. She is fighting with her own strength and during battles she get help of little marionettes she created personally.) It will be impossible for Osiris to arrive at her side timely to help her without him she’s unable to withstand Fan Le Laos and Yue Jian's attacks any longer. Furthermore Inside her heart Zhao Yan created turmoil and confused her. Xi Yan and Yue Jian have both exhausted their energy (when they work together to destroy the weapons) because of this battle before and the fact that she must fight without support, she lost.

“All this time I was annoyed of your stupidity acting and that you never expending the slightest effort. Still even if you do nothing you could always obtain everything….even this time it’s the same. You choose the right moment to attack me so it seems that everything will end here for your own benefit …” (XY)

“………” Yue Jian couldn’t say something as response she only grind her teeth.

“But this time it seems there’s nothing I could complain about your way of doing things …” (XY)

Yue Jian still grinds her teeth and said with compressed teeth: “Why is your great Osiris not here to save you?”

Xi Yan looks at her with a puzzled expression then she laughed and said: “You haven’t changed.” Yue Jian was surprised to hear that from her but because of this kind of situation, Yue Jian hates to express her own feelings .Even if Yue Jian changed a lot and she can now sometimes become cold, but sometimes she still was fond of the persons she dislikes so in the deepest part of the bottom of her heart she hasn’t changed. “He surely must be his way to rush over here. He might be a god, but even he is powerless against the time….”

“You really have so much faith in him?”

“Of course I have.” Xi Yan responded to her in a very determined way.

Actually Osiris and Xi Yan are both really over suspicious and distrustful towards others. Regardless of the ways Osiris has threaten Xi Yan sometimes to make sure she will not leave him and even if she listened to Yi Sai's words and began to suspected and alienated Osiris, still after all these things they experienced, in the end both choose to have faith in each other. At this point both changed and grow.

At the moment when Xi Yan stand before the dead door and was about to die, she looked to the sky which was filled with smoke but the only scene she could seen before her eyes was a very happy one. The casual weak but tender Sorisi was standing at her side and even Zhao Yan was there and greet her with a gently smile. “Ah…she stayed and waited for me, I finally remember now, her hugs were always warm ….very warm…”
