Yes, chapter 5 was really lame, but I’ll fill you in on what happened real quick. In Episode 17, we find out that Radu is still alive, well sort of. He’s being controlled by Dietrich (aka Puppet Master), who is trying to kill the empress. Radu also tries to turn Ion against Esther, but the ploy fails. And yes, those two are still alive, and stay that way throughout the whole chapter (double frown).
In episode 18 Radu tries to kill Ion, but realizing that he is being controlled by Dietrich, is able to stop himself. Doesn’t matter, ’cause Radu ends up dead anyway. In episode 19, Ion and Esther end up in prison, but Abel (aka fine as hell crusnik) rescues them. Too bad, and I was getting my hopes up. Abel has a showdown with Dietrich, but has problems defeating him and gets help from this brat named Seth who we later find out is his long lost sister. Now where in the hell did she come from? Little by little, chapter 5 turned into a big soap opera.
In episode 20 the pope is kidnapped, and is rescued by episode 21. Don’t you just love how I recapped all that in great detail? Overall, I give that chapter 2 stars, and I’m just glad it’s over, now let’s get to the good stuff!
Not only does Abel have a sister, but he has a brother named Cain, how perfect. Cain is on the loose, and is trying to invade the Vatican. Guards fire, but they are no match for him as he tries to destroy half the Vatican. Hmmmm, I wonder if Cain is a crusnik as well? Esther being the dumb chick that she is, follows Cain, probably to get his phone number since she struck out with Abel.
No, I’m just kidding, but she does follow him to find out exactly who and what he is. That is really stupid, ’cause who really cares? Yes, I know he’s good lookin’ and all that, but Cain can destroy a person with one blow, so why run in his direction? Meanwhile, Dietrich is trying to activate some kind of machine that will start a civil war between the humans and vampires, but Abel tries to stop him again.
He jacks up the crusnik power to 80%, and it’s on once again. He takes a swipe at Dietrich who is able to dodge the blow, but counterattacks with some kind of powerful thread that wraps Able up like a cute present. Now he’s able to break free, and the force is so strong that Dietrich is knocked back, and slams into the control panel.
Cain shows up and annihilates Dietrich, I guess he got tired of him, and decided to take over by himself. Now Abel is ready to do battle with Cain, until nosy Esther shows up. Abel stops his attack, I guess he didn’t want Esther to see him kicking some butt as a crusnik. However, it ends up being a bad move, since Cain gets a good lick in, and kills him.
“THANKS A LOT ESTHER! Not only did you suck all throughout this series with your whining and crying, but you got Abel killed! You dumb chick!”
