*Helena had spoken to her father, Ranma, and her brothers. Their conversation led them to understand who the vampire god of their bloodline was, and Helena made it clear that she would go speak to this vampire god. The vampire god in question looked almost like her brother, Shuhei, especially with that signature long blood-red hair. The vampire god is known as Maacah bat Talmai, true name Absalom. This ancient divinity, worshipped by vampires, somehow became the Saotome family’s ancestor when Absalom became unfaithful to his bride, Phampira, and slept with an ancestor of Ranma’s family. Ranma mentioned he believed it had been his grandmother.

Absalom, god-king of the creatures of the night, also known as the Sacred Ancestor, is an ancient, demonic vampire god. He is cold and highly calculating, knowing that every action he makes has a huge impact on not just the world, but the universe at large.

Therefore, summoning him would not be easy for Helena, since it was well known that summoning this vampire god required the blood of a “virgin and the father.” Helena is pure but is obviously no longer a virgin. Nevertheless, Ranma and Helena would attempt to use their blood for the ritual, and Helena hoped that Absalom would respond.

Helena and her brothers would enter the Sanguinarium Society, and after speaking to Prince Alucard and letting him know their intentions, he led them to the Church of the Vampires, where they would begin to be left alone to summon Absalom.*

*As the moon hangs high in the sky, casting an eerie silver light across the ancient steps, Helena gathers the sacred relics: a blood-red candle, a vial of fresh blood from Ranma and herself, and a hauntingly beautiful silver dagger. Clearing the area of any distractions, feeling the chill in the air intensify as Helena begin to chant the ancient incantation Helena discovered in a dusty tome.

“Absalom, Lord of Night, Please hear my call! By blood and shadow, I summon thee!”

The flames of the candle flicker violently, and shadows dance around her and her father and brothers, as a dark mist begins to swirl. With each verse, the air crackles with energy, and everyone feels the presence of the vampire god draw near, an intoxicating blend of dread and allure fills the atmosphere. As the mist thickens, the faint outline of Absalom materializes before Helena, her father and brothers, his crimson eyes glinting with an otherworldly hunger. “You dare summon me?” he intones, his voice a hypnotic blend of silk and darkness, compelling you to reveal your ultimate desire.

*Helena proceeds forward and bows.* “Please forgive me for disturbing your slumber.” *She then introduces herself and her family gathered there to Absalom. He summons his own attendee, a white-haired ghost vampire. Absalom sits on his throne momentarily studying all of them. Their blood has a familiar scent and he tastes the blood that had been placed there for him.*

“What do you desire from me?”

*Helena comes closer and the vampire-god comes closer to take a good look at the seraphim/candidate goddess.* “You could have easily willed me to do as you wish, I’m grateful for summoning me respectfully and introducing me to my descendants. State your wish, I shall grant it! *He’s tempted by her beauty but shows restraint while in her presence.*

*Helena bows and then looks up at him.* Please grant me the power and permission to use your powers and intermix them with mine so I can bestow them on your descendants! I seek to give them more abilities to protect themselves from a prophecy that I cannot see clearly but I can sense the challenge it will pose to all.

*Absalom leans down to get a closer look at her eyes, he then kneels so that he can lean down to kiss her hand.* Your wish is as good as granted. *Then a red mist surrounds him and his vampire ghost attendee until they disappear. Leaving Helena, her father and brothers in the church.*

*Vampire God Absalom and Helena*

[Shuhei Saotome ‡ SanguineVampyruszSugarDemon]

*In the grand hall of the Vampire Church, illuminated by an ethereal mix of dark and pure light energies swirling in a monumental vortex above. The architecture is gothic, with towering arches, stained glass windows depicting ancient legends, and intricate carvings on the stone walls catching the light and casting elongated shadows.

Shuhei stands at the forefront, a striking figure with vibrant blood-red hair that cascades past his shoulders, shimmering with subtle gold highlights. His eyes, a deep crimson with hints of gold, reflect both intensity and determination. He wears a fitted, dark scarlet attire with subtle intricate designs that hint at nobility, emblazoned, in the back side, with symbols representing his lineage.

He stands next to his father and brothers, and a step behind his sister, with a slight bow. His expression radiates a mix of awe and newfound confidence, embodying his transformation.

Before him, the towering figure of Absalom manifests, garbed in regal attire that blends shadows and light. His eyes glow with an ancient wisdom, and his presence commands respect. His long, blood-red flowing hair appears almost alive, shifting colors between dark hues and brilliant whites, symbolizing his divine nature.

Shuhei, the ambitious vampire known for his sharp wit, ruthless efficiency, and vibrant blood-red hair, had gained a reputation as a hunter and problem solver for some of the more influential vampires. He became part of the Shinsengumi along with his brothers, who already knew their family was a powerhouse. But now, this new power bestowed upon him by the ancient vampire god Absalom, progenitor of many vampire bloodlines, along with his beautiful sister Helena—a seraphim and rising goddess in her own right—had elevated him even further.

Standing in the heart of the Vampire Church, Shuhei was amazed to meet the vampire god and learn that he was an even closer relative to them than he had imagined. When Absalom granted Helena her request, the church began pulsating with dark energy intermingled with pure energy, swirling together in a dance for balance and connection. The energies shimmered like a swirling vortex of crimson and pure light. Inside the church, Shuhei was enveloped by these powers as they tightened around him, embracing him. Outside, the vortex exploded, bathing the vampires in raw power.

Shuhei noticed the surge of energy coursing through his veins, changing him at a fundamental level. He could sense his inherent vampire powers magnified, but something else was awakening inside him; he could feel the power of divinities within.

As he watched the vortex dissipate, he felt a tingling sensation in his skin. He ran his fingers through his red hair, noticing a subtle shimmer of gold intertwined with the crimson strands. A new power surged within him—a power that felt both ancient and alien.

He bows his head respectfully to the vampire god, who acknowledged him as one of his own and granted his sister her wish.*

[Ranma Shukumaru SpunkySugarDemon Saotome]

*Ranma who is usually headstrong, impulsive, and fiercely independent is wary and confrontational, he’s worried about his daughter Helena and that’s the main reason he decided to go along with her. Once Absalom is invoked, he gets to see the tall, imposing figure with piercing red eyes and razor-sharp teeth. He exudes an aura of ancient power and seems effortless cruelty. He speaks with a refined, almost theatrical tone, masking his predatory nature. This makes Ranma even more cautious and protective of his daughter. A strange pulsing light that looks like blood surrounds him. Absalom had been eyeing his daughter a bit too much for his comfort and finally the eyes rest on his, as if reading his mind. He heard a voice in his head.*

Absalom: “You already seem to have a fraction of my essence. A taste of the endless night. But now, you who are my legacy, will possess strength beyond your comprehension, speed that surpasses the wind, and the ability to heal from wounds that would kill any other human.”

*A searing pain rips through Ranma’s body as the dark energy surges into him. He endures a mixture of pain and terror but a divine energy embraces him, light and pure, he can tell it’s his daughter’s. Ranma’s eyes glow red for a moment. His teeth lengthen slightly. The scars from his previous fights seem to fade and almost disappear. He is writhing in agony as the transformation overtakes him. For some reason it feels as if his ancestor is punishing him for hiding Helena from him. *

Absalom: “Embrace the change, Ranma Saotome. Embrace your new destiny. Rise and become my Champion who will make the world tremble!”

*Ranma finally feels the energies coming together. He had already received a power surge from Helena along with his brothers and this helped him not break down during this painful infusion of energies. He noticed his son’s were each accepting their gifts and he made sure to get closer to Helena as Absalom began to disappear. He wasn’t taking any chances that this entity might take a fancy to his daughter especially since Absalom felt that he had been hiding Helena from him which wasn’t far from the truth. This however, wasn’t questioned. It seemed Absalom already new the reason Ranma kept Helena away from him but he had granted Helena’s request nonetheless. Ranma was content with this for now.*

Helena, if you are done, let’s all leave. *although he was grateful, he was also cautious and didn’t intent to stay there longer than they needed to.*

[Ranma Shukumaru SpunkySugarDemon Saotome]

[Shuhei Saotome ‡ SanguineVampyruszSugarDemon]

*Feeling his sister may have overexerted herself, he picks her up and carries her in her arms as they start to leave th vampire church. He agrees with his father.* Yes, let’s go. We are done here for now. @sweetsugardemon

[Soji Azuma LilacSugarDemon Okita Godai]

Soji, the brilliant but sickly swordsman of the Shinsengumi, one of Helena’s brothers attends the ritual at the vampire church. He is among the family members to obtain the enhanced vampire power that Helena and the vampire god gifted them with that night.

Soji had been a vampire since the final years of the Bakumatsu period. He was and still is a Shinsengumi, back then he was one of the protectors of the Tokugawa Shogunate, fighting fiercely against the growing tide of revolutionaries. Soji, was able to remain Captain of the First Unit of the Shinsengumi into the modern era since his brothers and he were all part of the same Shinsengumi unit and all vampires and raised and protected by Ranma and other elders of the GrandSugarClan.

Soji still remains a whirlwind of deadly skill, but his tuberculosis is worsening, threatening to weaken his prodigious talent and he secretly would be bedridden most of the time.

Soji was now infused with an enhanced vampiric power, making him stronger, faster, and he begins to heal at an incredible rate. He feels a new-found predatory instinct which he realizes will be something he will have to control.

Soji wondered if this Ancient Vampire God, acknowledged him as one of his own as well. But the answer would soon come as he stepped outside and noticed all the vampires had in one way or another benefitted from his sister’s request. As an extra benefit he began to feel a aura floating around him, it felt incredible and dynamic. He would grin as he looked around at his brothers noticing they were also feeling the sure of energy that had been granted to them.

Once this passes, he notices Shuhei and Ranma wanting to exit the church. He didn’t question it. He knew that vampire god would be interested in his sister, and then less they would liner there with her, the better their chances of getting her out safely.
