But it wasn't. Real life did not imitate drama. Still, the wind whipped the Captain's coat as he stood outside the door the zeppelin, waiting for Klaha's friends to arrive.

The roar of gunfire was not something to make her startle but Seras did jump slightly in surprise. She knew that there would be some sort of bombardment. Without another thought on the matter she sprinted ahead with return fire. Klaha and Közi needed to run for cover!

The Captain didn't appear to move, to even try to dodge. What was gunfire to him? He simply shifted his aim towards Seras and continued to fire.

"Seras!"

Having re-appeared behind her, Klaha turned, barely having caught a glimpse of the young woman before they vanished. He was shaken from the rough treatment, but stayed down, not wanting to get his head blown off. He did watch, however, still half-collapsed against the other vampire.

The Captain was the one shooting? Wasn't he supposed to be aiding in Klaha's escape? Seras could see a definite intent to the way he was firing. He was not dodging at all. What if he were to come at her?

Seras clenched her teeth. Rather than continuing to fire at The Captain, she aimed higher at the zeppelin exterior. Sure enough, the night lightened with an explosion.

For a moment Közi was still, merely watching the fire as it took place through slightly widened eyes - as it were, he'd been searching since Klaha's disappearance - and so as of yet he'd not been exposed to much of the technology that the City bore compared to that of his home.

The explosion in itself, however, brought him back - enough to register the fact that remaining here was most definitely not in their best interest.

"Klaha. We need to go."

His eyes widened at the explosion, shocked. The edge of the zeppelin went up in flames, the heat from it booming back at them.

"Captain Harker..." he seemed to be in his own world for a moment, but Közi snapped him out of it.

"Ah-- yes," Klaha said, looking over at him, shaken. "What about Seras?

A gloved hand and arm shielded her red eyes from the crackling fire, it wasn't the light that hurt just smoke. She backed away, squinting to see if anyone was trying to come through the flames. It was as good a time as any to make a break for it.

"Run," Seras called over her shoulder. She would have to return home. Better they separate.

"She wants us to run," plainly - tone a bit flat, perhaps, as it was the second time they'd been told.

A single movement, notably weaker but fueled enough by the prospect of dying again, and Közi hefted Klaha to stand at his side - not giving the opportunity for much else to interrupt before starting forward again, quickly - making up for Klaha's weakness to the best of his ability.

"Ooof!"

Klaha stumbled again, still weak and slow, but let the other vampire manhandle him away. He might have quipped about how he'd been locked up for God-knows-how-long and might have wanted to see if everything was going on properly but, one, he was exhausted, and two... Közi had a point about running. He went with him, and it wasn't until then that it kicked in that he was out. He felt himself shaking, but he held it together, making their escape.

Seras spared a glance behind her as she made her way into a retreat. The two vampires had been able to slip away after all. That done she broke into a run, zig-zagging from one wall to another up to the roof tops. Behind her the smoke and fire painted the night. Guiltily, she smiled to herself heading home.

The Captain stood in the midst of the fiery debris and falling rubble. Without a word or a gesture or even an expression, he holstered his guns, knelt down to pick up his cap, and turned to walk down the hallway, his footsteps echoing through the halls as the fires burnt.

And somewhere, a man was clapping slowly.

And laughing.
