"OK, you just gained some serious awesome points, I mean you literally just did that!" apparently it worked, otherwise Smarties would not be saying something like that. I chose not to respond and instead took up a combat stance as smoke face came over the horizon, black blood still dripping from where Pinkies blade struck him.

As the others noticed his approach, he seamed to shift. Turning into a black steel clad man, crown on his head, a Scythe of black crystal summons to his side. "Thou dare appose ME, even wounded as I am, you are all but children to me, a toddler compared to my hundred year rain a thousand years ago. I doubt even the trained drake in strange armour compares to my life span." Strangely Rarity seemed to take the most insult from his words, growing more impatient with each reference to how he was over a thousand years old. It actually got to the point where she charged him, a red glow trailing from her eyes.

"You are but a sorcerer who used the lives of the citizens of the Crystal Empire to increase the span of your life. A retch of a being I would never even call a Litch with what you did to your people, for fear of insulting them by comparing them to you! So! Just! Die! As you should have in that battle a thousand years ago!" As she screamed at Sombra she slashed at him with claws that grew from her fingers, pupils turning to slits as irises became a sanguine, fangs extending from her eye teeth. Confirming the flash of red I saw in her eyes as we met to be a sign of her true nature. Vampire, of what kind I had yet to know. 

"No time to act all shock and aw at the sight of a vampire Red, lets get moving." Smarties said as she tossed a dagger at Sombra, landing a hit on his back as Rarity twisted him into its path. With a nod I drew my Dino Blaster, taking aim at his weapon to make sure it would not hit my new friends, as I pulled the trigger a second beam came form the direction of Rarity, she had backed of to let AJ have the room to swing her axe.

Combat continued in this way, each of us taking turns fighting him up close wile the rest used range, for about an hour before we realized only one wound on his body had yet to heal from his magic. The spot where Pinkies Claymore had struck true. "How in tarnation is he healing all his wounds? And better yet, why leave the one that's slowing him down alone. It don't make a lick oh sense."

"I believe it may be that he cant darling." Rarity said, her fangs somehow not changing her ancient in any form. "I suggest that we aim for his wound maybe?" Before I could say a thing, I felt a blade pierce my shoulder, black crystal dripping red in the sanguine fluid of life. As Sombra pulled his weapon out of me, my blood sprinkled its way on to the snow. but I did not scream, pain was not new to me. Blades had pierced my skin many times before, I had long lost the will to scream at such things a long time ago. but I did feel weaker, like a toxin was in my vanes, the signs of a cursed blade. this is what scared me.

As I clutched the wound, my armour shattered, the injury breaking my morph. "Shit, avoid even a scratch from his weapon girls. I know a cursed blade when I feel one. his is most certainly a strong curse as well." With the warning made I started to fall as Smarties made a move to catch me just before I blacked out.
