Somewhere outside Puerta Mibela:
Despite the rage of the hurricane, the natural rock formations outside the city remained peaceful, or as peaceful as they could be given the current situation.
Suddenly, the noise of rain and wind furiously hitting nature was disturbed by the sound of a cellphone coming from inside a cave.
"Hello...?" a voice said from inside the cave, followed by a yawn, after the cellphone rang a couple of times.
"Shirley! How are you, my dear?" the voice said, "Oh, no, don't worry about me, I'm safe where I am... But how about you? Where are you? ... Is that safe? ... Are you sure, honey? ... Okay, okay... So, is that boyfriend of yours with you there? ... He's not? Well, if that's... Honey? ... Shirley? Hello?"
No noises came from the cave for a moment.
Meanwhile, in the basement under the complex:
"Shit," Shirley Francis said.
"What happened?" Kit Piper asked.
"I was talking to my Uncle Otto over the phone, and the connection broke. I hate to leave him worrying like that. Poor Uncle Otto. He's gonna think the building fell on me or something."
"Ah, it's pretty common that the phones don't work well during natural disasters," Kit said. "I bet he knows that's what happened."
Back in the cave, the sound of a motor starting was heard by startled mice huddling in the cave to ward off the elements. Soon, a car came speeding out of the cave. Inside it, Shirley's uncle Otto, a half-bear, half-human meta, yelled, "I'M GONNA SAVE YOU, SHIRLEY!"
Uncle Otto's car was soon speeding through the streets of Puerta Mibela, fighting against the wind and the rain, as he looked for the address Shirley gave him, an apartment complex at 56 Oakwood.
Suddenly, something collided with the windshield, cracking it.
"What the hell?!" Otto yelled, losing control of the car, as he realized that the thing that hit him was actually a human being, or something resembling one.
Otto opened the door and rolled out of the car, which crashed against a wall. Otto still had the what the fuck was that? look on his face, when the person on the windshield, who should have been dead by now, stood up and gave a long leap to stand near Otto. The person smiled, showing his large teeth. That was when Otto put the pieces together and realized he was looking at a vampire.
Several other vampires appeared from apparently nowhere and surrounded Otto. "Don't make me angry..." Otto said. "You won't like me when I'm angry."
The vampires laughed. One of them approached Otto. "You're funny, little bear," he said. "But we gonna eat ya anyway."
The vampire threw himself at Otto, and was soon followed by all the other vampires. They looked like a group of hungry hyenas eating a dead deer.
Unexpectedly, Otto rose up, and all the vampires fell to the ground. Otto's clothes were ragged, and he seemed a bit bigger. "I... warned... you..." Otto said.
The vampires watched in amazement as Otto started changing, apparently with a big deal of pain. He screamed as two big sticks erupted from his back. His ears were pointier, his teeth were larger (even larger than those of the vamps, like a sabertooth), his claws got sharper, and finally, the two sticks on his back spread, forming wings.
More than a bear, he now looked like a beast from mythology.
Otto growled. The vampires peed themselves.
