Upstate New York Showdown

The Showdown takes place in Bloodbound, Book 1, Chapter 15. It is where Adam Vega discovers the whereabouts of Adrian, Kamilah, and Your Character. It is the turning point to discover the consequences onto Bloodbound, Book 2 based on the choices that are chosen.

Hideout Discovered
After the MC, Adrian, and Kamilah are deciding to make their first move, they are discovered by Adam Vega and Nicole Anderson in a eighteen wheeler truck through the tracer implanted in Adrian's arm by the Baron. Adrian gives the MC and makeshift stake for her to defend herself with and the trio walks out the cabin determined and ready to fight. Adam Vega reveals that Adrian has always been Gaius' "perfect warrior prince" and states that with the serum Adrian made, he will use it to be king of the vampires and annihilate humankind so that vampires don't need to be feared by humankind. Adrian is disgusted until the MC states that Vega is outnumbered because there are two powerful vampires on their side and Vega just have Nicole. But, Vega proves the MC wrong by asking Nicole to press a button on the remote to release the truck of ferals to attack the trio. Adrian and Kamilah fights the feral while the MC hides inside the house. When the MC hides in the house, a feral crashes to the window but the MC kills it immediately at the cost that the weapon given to Adrian is stuck. Kamilah offers a strategy to allow the MC to be bait to lure the ferals away from Adrian. The plan succeeds with Kamilah taking out five ferals but there are only twenty left and Adrian and Kamilah are tired. All is seem lost, until a wooden bolt is shot from the trees where the MC is standing surprising her and the feral that is about to attack her.

Allies arrived
The shot is revealed to be Lily armed with a crossbow and Jax with his katana. Jax explains that he had his men tail Vega and he saw that Vega was loading a truck with ferals. He gave his people a choice which was to fight and they decided to fight. Behind them, various clanless vampires and the freed prisoners armed with stakes, swords, and crossbows arrive to help with Griff saying that he wanted to take down Vega and Liv giving the MC another stake as a weapon and stating that "they will pay for what they did to my Jaxxie." As the ferals are about to attack the group, Jax has a group to use Ultra UV Ray flashlights stored with concentrated sunlight to shine it on the ferals to force them to retreat and orders the group to attack. The tide is immediately turning in favor of the MC's group.

All seems victorious until there is a feral overwhelming both Liv and Griff. Your Character has to choose one vampire to rescue. If she choose to rescue Griff, he is thankful for what you did but Liv dies with him telling the MC that they will avenge her death and to take out the feral scum. If MC choose to rescue Liv, she is thankful but Griff dies with her telling the MC that she did what she could but the battle fighting is still on. While the battle is going on, the MC finds out that Vega and Nicole are nowhere to be found. Adrian goes after Vega with the MC's help but not before Jax hands her a sunlight flashlight to use and encourages her to go help Adrian.

Victory accomplished...but at what cost
Nicole attacks the MC and tries to kill her with the crossbow but the MC fights back. The MC has a choice to go after Nicole or let her go. If the MC choose to go after Nicole, she has a choice to either kill Nicole, capture Nicole, or give Nicole a second chance. If you choose to kill Nicole, you use the crossbow and shoot a bolt executing her. If you choose to capture Nicole, you use the flashlight to knock her unconscious and immediately go to help Adrian.

In a flower field, Adrian and Vega are fighting. Adrian orders Vega to give up because Vega can never defeat him. Vega contradicts the statement that while Adrian was a perfect warrior he lacks cunning. Vega has a spring-out knife in his jacket and is about to execute Adrian when the MC saves him by shining the sunlight flashlight on both men. Vega is affected but Adrian is not thanks to his serum. His eyes suddenly glow and he kills Vega by exploding his head. At first he is lost until the MC snaps him back to reality. The battle ends victorious but at a cost of three other clanless vampires lost their lives. Adrian states that their sacrifices will not be forgotten. The group drinks a toast to victory, justice, lost friends, Lily being a badass with a crossbow, and the choices of: good friends or new beginnings. With the battle over, the characters head back to the city to wonder what will come.
