"The Island of Fire" "Hmm?" "What's that weird glow?" "Isla del Fuego..." "That's what its Spanish name is." "Fire Island?" "BLADE:" "The Spaniards thought this place was cursed." "It's one part of the Philippines they were dominating." "MAKOTO:" "Can't say I blame them." "I'm kinda creeped out myself." "BLADE:" "Yeah, so are the locals." "They stay as far away from the island as possible." "Which makes it a perfect hideout for Deacon Frost." "(GROWLS)" "(DOORS OPEN)" "(CHUCKLES)" "Not the most subtle entrance I've ever seen." "Our first meeting face to face." "My name is Lucius Isaac." "I know it's your habit to do so, but the High Council doesn't appreciate being ignored." "They asked me to deliver this message personally." "What sort of message?" "A warning." "They will no longer tolerate this rogue operation of yours." "Either you will stop it at once, or they will." "Well, I've done my job." "This organization of yours, Existence..." "The speed with which it established itself all over Asia with you, Deacon Frost, at its head..." "Unofficially, I'm here to check up on you." "To see just what it is you're up to and report back my findings." "Dominating Asia..." "That is actually the good part." "It makes the Council's Eurocentric worldview seem rather outdated." "FROST:" "That's not the only thing that's outdated." "The High Council is so proud of their ancestry, so sure of themselves as lords of the vampires." "And this is why you can exist." "Everyone from allover the world is attracted to Existence." "The Council may see it coming, but they're too late to do anything about it." "The world is never one, when they know it." "The end will come to the mongrels." "They have to change their old vision, for the time is near when they'll be lords of nothing." "Really, they're already too late to do anything about it." "Really?" "You think so?" "What about you?" "Let's hope it doesn't come to that." "As I said, I'm just here to observe and report." "FROST:" "Then here's something you can report to the Council." "I'm on the verge of perfecting a new type of vampire." "The result will be a hybrid." "A new breed that's destined to leave you pure-bloods in the dustbin of history." "So go tell your masters they should be frightened." "(LAUGHS)" "(PANTING)" "Slow down a little, will you?" "My legs aren't as long as yours." "What a jerk... (GRUNTS)" "Huh?" "(ROARS)" "(GASPS)" "What is it?" "Now I'm definitely creeped out." "Let's go." "LUCIUS:" "What is it?" "FROST:" "The future." "(BEEPS)" "And this is the key." "His blood." "I have a sample of his blood, but it's useless." "When I try to integrate it with the other blood, it breaks down." "It loses the very properties I most desire." "Because of this, his blood will be useful for the first time." "LUCIUS:" "And that means Blade must be allowed to live." "FROST: (LAUGHS) Only until I've found the answer I seek." "It means..." "The light..." "Are you sure this is the right place?" "Hmm..." "There." "What the hell?" "(GRUNTING)" "Who are you?" "We're the Berdugo, and you are trespassing on our land!" "Berdugo?" "I've heard of these people." "They're the guardians of this island." "Didn't anyone tell you about the vampires?" "Well, we've come to wipe 'em out." "(BOTH GASP)" "WOMAN:" "Perhaps we were too hasty." "I am Lupit of the Kali clan, hereditary chief of all the Berdugo." "I'm Cimaron of the Spears." "And this is Hagibis of the Bow and Arrow clan." "Nice to meet you." "You fight very well for one so pretty." "We are hunters." "The prey we seek is the Manananggal." "The Manananggal?" "Yeah." "A great winged beast of the night that feeds on human flesh." "LUPIT:" "Our ancestors imprisoned the beast within the mountain." "But now the Man with Four Fangs has set it free." "MAKOTO:" "The Man with Four Fangs?" "That's who we are looking for!" "LUPIT:" "He practices a magic unfamiliar to us." "But it is a dark magic, while ours comes from the light." "We must find the beast and imprison it again, or destroy it." "The survival of the island depends on us." "So I warn you, we will not tolerate any interference." "Right back at you." "Just stay outta our way!" "Okay..." "Are you coming in or not?" "Hey!" "Wait up!" "Four Fangs could be in there." "Do we follow them?" "Remember, our mission is to find the Manananggal." "Let's go!" "(ALARM BLARING)" "(YELLS)" "(ROARS)" "They've gone." "Never mind them, their fight is not ours." "(GROWLING)" "Perhaps I spoke too soon." "(YELLING)" "(ALARM BLARING)" "LUCIUS:" "It would seem I'm not your only unwelcome visitor this evening, huh?" "Unlike you, this visitor's more than welcome." "It's the Daywalker." "And just when I needed to collect another sample." "I wonder..." "Just who is chasing who, Frost?" "The half-breed is not to be underestimated." "I mean to say," "I wouldn't want this mad quest of yours to come to an end too quickly." "I'm enjoying the show enormously." "It's like watching a man dance on the edge of a cliff." "(SCOFFS)" "Just don't get in the way." "BLADE:" "Deacon Frost!" "(SWORDS CLANGING)" "That is the Daywalker." "That actually came quite close." "Someone's been practicing." "Shall we get on with it?" "(GROANS)" "Now, hold still." "This might sting a little." "Don't be too discouraged." "You keep working at it." "There's always next time." "(GRUNTING)" "(GASPS)" "Hey, wait!" "Come back here!" "(ROARING)" "Disgusting." "MAKOTO:" "What the hell is that?" "The Manananggal!" "That's gross." "Let's go!" "Is it me, or has it gotten bigger?" "Get ready!" "Gather, you Spirits of Light, and help us drive this creature of eternal night from our land." "Come to us..." "Now!" "(SCREAMING)" "Let's finish it!" "(GROANS)" "Cimaron!" "The spell didn't work!" "Well, this will!" "(SCREAMING)" "(GROANING)" "No!" "(GASPS)" "(GROANING LOUDLY)" "Stop it!" "(GRUNTS)" "(GASPS)" "What..." "What are you?" "Save it for later!" "(LAUGHING)" "How very entertaining." "Let's go!" "Come on, move it!" "(GIRL SOBBING)" "Please, Lupit!" "I want to avenge my brother..." "Let me fight." "I know it's what Hagibis would want." "My brave Danas." "I know what you're feeling." "Very well, you may fight." "Take your brother's place beside me as a warrior." "(GROANS)" "BLADE:" "It's not getting any easier." "I thought I'd be used to Van Helsing's antivirus by now." "But at least I feel the thirst subsiding." "LUPIT:" "You." "Just what are you?" "A vampire." "One of the carriers of darkness whose coming was foretold in the ancient prophecies..." "You're one of them, aren't you?" "Already, Danas has lost her brother..." "And I have lost my betrothed, Cimaron." "And you, woman." "Why are you with this demon?" "MAKOTO:" "You're wrong." "He's not one of them." "What is he, then?" "Well, he's a..." "It's hard..." "BLADE:" "I'm a Daywalker." "Daywalker?" "That's even worse." "At least with the others, we only have to be on our guard at night." "Never mind what I am." "All that matters is that the Man with Four Fangs is stopped." "Or there will come a darkness greater than you can ever imagine." "Whatever you think of me, you need me..." "Never!" "The last thing we need is help from the likes of you!" "If that's the way you feel about it, then it's fine with me." "I'll fight him alone." "After all, I've never needed anyone's help before, anyway." "MAN:" "The Manananggal!" "Everyone to the caves!" "Quickly!" "I need to be up there, not wasting my time here with you!" "What was all that about you being alone?" "But you said..." "Relax." "We're a team now, Makoto." "Well, yeah..." "Of course." "I just wanted to make sure." "In fact, you're a vital part of my plan." "Huh?" "(PANTING)" "Thanks a lot!" "How come I have to be the bait for this flying lizard?" "Go away, go away, go away!" "If I live through this," "I'm gonna kill him!" "Come on, Razor!" "Run, boy!" "That's impossible!" "Cimaron!" "Hagibis!" "(GASPS)" "(ROARING)" "Don't just stand there!" "Help us out!" "As it was foretold, the carriers of darkness have some." "Hear our prayers," "Spirits of Light." "The guardians of the island need you." "Grant us your aid." "Show us your power." "Watch out!" "(YELLS)" "(GASPS)" "Amazing..." "LUPIT:" "Danas!" "Forgive me, brother." "(SOBS)" "Now, Spirits!" "Come to the aid of your people!" "(SCREAMING)" "Deadly Sword Technique" "The Second Blade:" "Phantom Moon" "Interesting." "It seems Frost and the Daywalker are evenly matched." "The Council should be worried." "This merits further investigation." "A firefly..." "These are your Spirits of Light?" "Yes." "Even they could not protect all of us." "BLADE:" "Deacon Frost..." "You leave death and misery behind you, everywhere you go." "You're like a plague." "But I've got the cure." "And I'm coming for you." "I seem to have struck a nerve." "How insensitive of me." "On the other hand, why postpone the inevitable?" "Why don't I just kill you now?" "MAKOTO:" "Could it be true?" "If it really worked, it would make vampires human." "NARRATOR:" "Next time on Blade:" "Bad Blood"
