Location: Bloodspire Citadel – Hidden Vampire Stronghold, Romania
The elders of the Crimson Fang, one of the last remaining purist vampire factions, gathered in silence. Their pride was ancient. Their arrogance, unshakable.
But tonight?
Fear sat at the head of the table.
One of their own—Lord Mavik—had been returned to them.
Not alive. Not dead.
Soul burned. Mouth sewn shut by a mark that shimmered with one word:
"Phantom."
Scene: Damon's Orders Go Global
Across every continent, the Phantom System activated Phase One of The Purge Protocol.
[Targets Identified: 413]
[Purist Nodes: 58]
[Global Reach Status: 100%]
Within hours:
Offshore accounts were drained.
Safehouses exposed.
Private planes mid-flight were forced down with AI reroutes.
Blood-trading black markets were obliterated in fire and ghost-coded viruses.
Every enemy faction that dared attack his family now faced total erasure.
Scene: A Live Message
A global emergency broadcast interrupted normal programming.
It wasn't government-issued.
It was Phantom-issued.
Damon stood alone in the transmission—dressed in black, his face partly shadowed, his voice calm but ruthless.
"You went for the heart."
"Now you will witness what happens… when the heart fights back."
The screen glitched and flickered—
To a live satellite feed of four purist fortresses collapsing in synchronized fireballs.
"This is not war. This is judgment."
"I am Phantom. And I am done playing king."
"I am now the god of your extinction."
Scene: The World Watches
Billionaires and politicians knelt behind closed doors.
Entire gangs and supernatural enclaves pledged fealty overnight.
Even ancient entities—who had stayed hidden for centuries—began sending envoys begging for neutrality.
Because in just 72 hours…
12 major purist clans were gone.
And no one knew how.
Final Scene: Damon's Family Reacts
In the Phantom estate, the family gathered once more.
Caelan, Liora, and Azra looked to their father—not with fear, but with awe.
Caelan: "You said we wouldn't hide again."
Damon (quietly): "I meant it."
Nova placed her hand over his.
Arielle and Elina stood close.
Zeke and Rico loaded weapons in the background—just in case.
The system buzzed in his mind:
[The Purge: 38% Complete]
[Public Perception: He's no longer a man. He's a force.]
