Full Story:

Vampire Guardian Angels become Conquerors

The ancient Estonian Prince Jeromos has escaped to Sweden, his homeland, with the Author, Ms. Price, as his hostage. It is revealed that he has the horribly burned and injured Gabriel, and is attempting to heal him.

Janos has also ordered Jeromos to take over the monastery with his "holy" army provided by the Church and to find a cure for both the plague and any injured Vampire Guardian Angels who bypassed the portal in an attempt to either get to Heaven or Earth,  and who were horribly burned in the process. Jeromos forms the "Immortal's Reliquary", where he uses holy relics,  "holy blood from martyred saints" in "vials mixed with blood and gold" to form a healing potion he feeds to the injured Vampire Guardian Angels. The vial mixture heals Vampire Guardian Angels because ancient relics were kept in gold and becomes a supernatural preserving agent. It is also mixed with some of Ms. Price's own blood. He keeps the injured angels in glass coffins,  “reliquaries” made of gold and infused with holy relics that “activate” healing.

But secretly, Jeromos is saving Gabriel, considered the most vicious and powerful of all the Vampire Guardian Angels, so he can use him to help him take over Janos's reign. He knows Janos is  unaware that his own army is planning to join Jeromos. And he knows Gabriel will be loyal to him for saving him. However, an injured and burned Cameron surprises Jeromos, cutting off one of his wings and causing Jeromos to partially burn and become disfigured. Jeromos manages to save himself by drinking blood from a reliquary. Enraged, Jeromos takes Cameron hostage, and he imprisons him alongside what he calls his new, animal-like, genetically altered breed of rabid Vampire Guardian Angels, ones that Jeromos has been experimenting with, called the "Angelorumrabidi".

Frustrated and resenting his role of "nurse" to the Vampire Guardian Angels and depressed with his disfigurement, Jeromos becomes an alcoholic. He also wants to claim Ms. Price for himself, and make her his queen. He knows her blood is "the cure",  and one drop of her blood is powerful enough to heal them. She is extremely valuable because she is their "creator" who has awakened them and has inadvertently allowed them to finally exist in the real world by her strong belief in them. Jeromos has also discovered that Ms. Price has royal blood - something she was not aware of, and a descendant of Spanish nobility, making her an ideal queen. Combined with her noble blood and her "resurrective" powers, she is a valuable addition to his claims for the throne, as long as he "owns" her. And once he raises his army, he would have everything, and the Vampire Guardian Angels would follow him without question.  After explaining to Ms. Price why he has kidnapped her and his desire to overthrow Janos and rule, Jeromos takes some of her blood in a vial in order to heal Gabriel, and then bites Ms. Price and drinks her blood to heal himself, turning her into a vampire.

Cameron is freed by Detective Costa, who has followed and found him in Sweden, and who was informed of Jeromos's hideout by Earth Vampires who were friends of Catharina, the earth vampire who died saving Joseph from Jeromos's army. Cameron reveals that he also came to the Immortal's Reliquary to steal the saints' blood to heal himself. Cameron had  been kept busy sealing portals that were created by the dying Vampire Guardian Angels on Earth, which prevented more of the army from coming down. But it was taking a toll on Cameron, who was getting weaker ever since his descent from Heaven to save Joseph, and when Jeromos kidnapped the author, Cameron knows he has to save her since he knows why Jeromos wants her, and he had also been planning to break into Jeromos's hideout to heal himself by stealing Jeromos's reliquaries.

As Cameron and Costa look for the author, Gabriel, now loyal to Jeromos, intercepts them. Costa and Cameron are surprised to find Gabriel alive.  Before Cameron fights Gabriel,  he smears his blood on Costa's weapon, a machete, since his blood can kill evil. Costa is attacked by the two rabid Vampire Guardian Angels, the Angelorumrabidi, that Jeromos has set free and sent after them. Costa manages to kill the vampires, but is bitten. Fortunately, he has a reliquary he has taken "just in case" and he uses the blood to heal himself, as he rapidly becomes a Vampire Guardian Angel. Meanwhile, the still-fighting Cameron and Gabriel are engulfed in a mysterious light. When the light dissipates, they are entombed unconscious, but alive, in glass coffins and sealed behind a heavy door.

As a mysterious glowing figure appears before the transforming Costa, it's Joseph, having become more powerful. Holding Cameron's sword, Joseph reveals that it was Janos who had secretly sent the virus down. When Janos got into Heaven using the portals of the three original Vampire Guardian Angels,  Zeke, Anthony, and Jude who were killed by Cameron and Costa,  this gave Janos the idea to use a virus to cause more deaths of Vampire Guardian Angels on Earth so that their ascending bodies could be used as portals so he could bring down his army from Heaven. But it got out of hand, leading Janos to create the breeding program to feed the Vampire Guardian Angels on Earth. Janos saw that he was losing control of the plague so he sent Jeromos to find the cure. And Janos killed his own father, Gregory, as revenge for the death of Leah, and to create a portal for both Jeromos and Joseph to get back to Earth, but not before revealing to Joseph that Jeromos was unaware that Janos had created the virus, and that he now trusted Joseph with these revelations. However, Cameron had intercepted the plan for the army's descent when he escaped from Heaven to save Joseph and sealed the portals, since he had the power to do so. Joseph wants to get rid of Cameron so he can take over the army, since he does not consider Cameron his real father and still holds him responsible for his mother's death.

Joseph explains that he imprisoned Cameron and Gabriel since he does not have the power to kill them since he has now chosen to become evil, but he plans to sacrifice his own (step) father, Cameron, and Gabriel, in order to create a powerful portal that will finally bring down the Janos's Vampire Guardian Angel army, who he hopes will follow him based on fear even if he is not a royal, and take over Janos's reign and get rid of Jeromos as well. But although he knows he cannot kill his own kind yet,  he hopes that he can find a way to use Cameron's sword, which can kill Angels only if wielded by a good angel. He is not sure if it will work in the hands of an evil one.

The Story:

Vampire Guardian Angels become Conquerors

Rule of Blood introduces a completely new character: Jeromos Dracon, an ancient Estonian prince, Janos's heir.

9 months have passed. On earth, there is a mysterious virus. Male humans lie  bleeding in hospitals from a combination of a  deadly form of necrotizing flesh eating bacteria that also causes the victim to bleed uncontrollably, attracting earth vampires. They feed on the dying victim, but end up dying themselves. The earth vampires dissolve into pools of blood.

Meanwhile, word of this virus spreads up in Heaven, where  Jeromos tries to inform Janos of the plague on Earth. But Janos is furious.  Leah  killed herself and their unborn child. Jeromos asks Janos what they should do about the plague, and Janos decides to make Jeromos his new heir, because he is a Royal. Janos also explains the secret of how the portal works, that any Angel can open the portal but it requires the death of Angels to provide the safe passage through the astral plane of good and evil through a tunnel of celestial light,  and that being the "chosen one" and that only Royals could rule was a political myth and ploy used to become leader of the Vampire Guardian Angels. Janos also reveals how he got into Heaven: After he escaped from the psychiatric ward, he hid in a New York Cathedral. There, he had found the three Vampire Guardian Angels, Zeke, Anthony, and Jude, who Cameron had prevented from ascending, dying, after they wandered around  aimlessly, hiding in churches. Because he still had some traces of good in him, Janos killed the three angels, and ascended into Heaven using the portal of light. That had been his plan all along, sent to him in visions: to sacrifice the three Vampire Guardian Angels so he could rule in Heaven and fulfill the prophecy.

Gregory, still on Earth after being wounded by Detectives Graham and Costa, hears of the news of Leah's death from angel statues in a church and, enraged, vows revenge for Leah's death. He blames Janos. He also hears that, left without an heir, Janos chose Jeromos as his alternate heir, because he was a Royal. Gregory decides he wants to unseat Janos and take over leadership, since he still considers Janos a weak ruler,  and he has to find a way back to Heaven since Cameron destroyed the portal. The angel statues tell him that Cameron's adopted son, Joseph, is still on Earth. Gregory then decides Joseph is his key to returning to heaven. He plans to kill Joseph and use his ascending spirit to get back into heaven, just like the earth vampire did with Gabriel.

Still on Earth, Joseph also hears the news of Janos's choice of heir from angel statues while visiting his mother's grave, and is overcome  with anger. He feels he should take over and should have been mentored by Janos because he feels he is more powerful because of his power of light, but knows he is too young and inexperienced. The angel statues tell him that he is known as the "Angel Killer", but that he must also control his temper and desires for revenge if he wants to rule.

Gregory finds the angry and vengeful Joseph in the cemetery and convinces him to unseat Janos from power. Joseph tells Gregory that he also wants to destroy Cameron for killing his mother and for turning him into a vampire, but he also wants the power that Janos has.

However, while they conspire on Earth, Gregory sees a young Earth Vampire wandering through the cemetery. The human appears weak and frothing bloody saliva at the mouth. begging for help and crying out that he is sick and for his someone to save him. Gregory, seeing opportunity for a meal, kills the young man and  feeds off  him, since Vampire Guardian Angels can feed off other Vampires too. Joseph just watches. But Gregory suddenly drops the man and starts dissolving. After Gregory dies, turning into a pool of blood, Joseph spreads his wings and follows the ball of light up back to heaven. He did what Gabriel did, hitching a ride to heaven like the earth vampire did.

Back in Heaven, Joseph demands to see  Janos. Janos, surprised and concerned, angrily demands how Joseph got to heaven and Joseph  tells him about Gregory's death and about Cameron being like a father to him, and what Cameron did to Christina and that it was Cameron who but him, and that he wants revenge. Janos tells Joseph Cameron is their prisoner. Janos then orders  an infected human brought. He explains the plague and that Gregory had drank from an infected Earth Vampire. Because of his ties to Cameron, who Janos calls the killer of angels, Janos demands Joseph demonstrate his loyalty and to gain Janos's trust, Janos forces Joseph to drink from the infected man. Joseph at first hesitates, but does so, and Janos, pleased, reveals that the man is not infected after all.

Janos then orders only vampire guardian angels can breed with females who are believers and who pray because only the male humans are infected.  Then they can continue to have food and maintain their hold over the Earth Vampires. Chained human and vampire women are being held prisoner for Janos’s breeding program, to create more angels and an uninfected food source. Vampire Guardian Angels can produce only male offspring with human and vampire women due to their celestial powers. But the women must be believers in angels to be bred, which is why the Church must be involved to create more “believers”. Those uninfected women who are not chosen to breed become food. The male young will be harvested. Some will be killed off to create more angels who will ascend to Heaven with their own portals and turned into Vampire Guardian Angels. (The very young can be killed off by any angel since they are considered “innocents”.) Others, most likely the weak ones, will be fed to both Earth Vampires and Vampire Guardian Angels.

Joseph tells Jeromos that the problem is, they can only target healthy humans who pray to them, and most of the world has turned into different religions, and atheism is on the rise. Janos must find a way to force the humans to pray.

Janos says he will send both Joseph and  Jeromos to earth immediately along with several vampire guardian angels through the still-open portal of light created through Gregory's ascent to form an alliance with a militant branch of the Catholic church to frighten people into praying more, breeding more, and to use the churches to house the captive humans to feed to the Guardians, just like they did during the time of the inquisition. Joseph is reluctant to return to earth but tells himself he needs to get rid of  Jeromos first. Then he will use Jeromos's ascending spirit to get back into heaven.

Janos sees an opportunity forming as well. Vampire Guardian Angels being killed by the plague on Earth are ascending in balls of light, providing a chance for the Angels in Heaven to descend to Earth without burning. But he still needs to raise an army on Earth. Too many Angels are dying and the Vampire Guardian Angels need to regroup and repopulate before they can take over, and they need to get rid of the plague.

Jeromos secretly wants take over Janos's reign. He also wants to chose a new Queen, and a new legitimate heir. He is also suspicious of Joseph and does not want him to take over.  As a distraction, he sends Joseph to Detective Costa, who is dating the author Ms. Price, to find out more about the plague, and tells Joseph to tell Costa that Cameron sent him and that he needs his help. In the meantime, Jeromos quickly leaves the police station to raise an army through the Church, and kidnaps Ms. Price. Jeromos wants her because she is their "creator" who brought the Vampire Guardian Angels "to life" with her belief in the existence of them, which gave them a supernatural power and awakening, and also because her own blood supposedly holds power that rejuvenates them, which explains why she was able to make them come to life. Jeromos has  researched her background and found she does have royal blood, which makes her part of the prophecy (and hints that she may in fact be immortal). Jeromos plans to use Ms. Price to create his own new dynasty.

Costa tells Joseph that through his contact Catharina, the vampire Cameron saved from Gabriel, and who saved Joseph they learn that the earth vampires have found that healthy bodily fluids from a non-infected human will instantly heal them. To heal themselves, they must hang adult humans up on meat hooks and slice them open and shower in their blood, just like Janos's mother Elizabeth Bathory used to. Costa's  contact Catharina takes both Joseph and Costa to a warehouse in Long Beach, CA, where this is taking place.

Costa, Joseph, and Catharina are surprised by guards from the Church, led by Jeromos wearing a mysterious necklace that looks like a vial of blood mixed with gold, and who announces the guards as his holy army sent by powerful church leaders. Jeromos orders the guards to kill them.

But they are shielded by someone. It's Cameron, who escaped from Janos and Heaven and descended without the portal to save him and is now smoking and burning and transforming, with skin peeling off.

Jeromos attacks Joseph but Catharina saves him ones again, and dies. Joseph tries to burn Jeromos with his power of light but Jeromos disappears. Cameron, horribly burned, disappears again, presumably to go after Jeromos.

Now Jeromos and Joseph are enemies, fighting for leadership. Costa vows to rescue the author from Jeromos, and Joseph vows to find Jeromos, kill him, and use his ascending spirit to get back into Heaven and destroy Janos.

The Story:

Vampire Guardian Angels become Conquerors

The comic book starts off with a flashback to Joseph as a young child and how he and Cameron were responsible for Gabriel's death, and how he sent Gabriel back to Heaven with a mysterious power of light. It also reveals and gives a back story on how Cameron became a Vampire (from Dominion, Book 3), and how he acted as Joseph's stepfather while dating his mother Christina. Cameron follows Gabriel through the portal of light that remained after Gabriel ascended to deliver him back to Heaven. However, he finds that Heaven has been invaded by a Vampire, and that Gabriel has rapidly turned into a Vampire. Gabriel proceeds to bite all the other angels, turning them into Vampires. Heaven becomes a bloody mess. Gabriel bites Cameron, who falls back to Earth through the still-open portal, sparing him from burning up.

But Gabriel tries to follow without the portal, and as the light dies, he burns but survives, becoming horribly disfigured. Gabriel has a reason to risk the descent and go back, because he wants to kill Joseph. He wants revenge.

Cameron is united with Christina, but he ends up turning into a Vampire and killing her. Cameron ends up biting a young Joseph in his sleep.

Years later, Joseph is visiting his mother's grave, and has been searching for his mother's killer for years and suffers from anger issues. Gabriel later finds and attacks Joseph in a nightclub, but is saved by an Earth Vampire named Catharina, who distracts Gabriel, and by Kirkland, who sacrifices his life to save Joseph from Gabriel. Catharina reveals to Joseph that she is a Vampire and that Joseph is also a Vampire, and that he is also a "legend" among the Vampires and Vampire Guardian Angels as a "Killer of Angels" because of his power to send Angels back to "the light". Gabriel later attacks Catharina but is saved by Cameron.

Cameron later meets Joseph back at Christina's grave and reveals that he accidentally killed Christina, turned Joseph into a Vampire, and begs for Joseph's forgiveness. He tells Joseph that he acted as Joseph's stepfather and protector since he fell to Earth and even though he became a Vampire, he still secretly watched over Joseph. Cameron also tells Joseph about Janos and his plans to take over Earth, and that Joseph had a choice: stop Janos and protect humans as Cameron was doing, or become a potential ruler of the Vampire Guardian Angels.  Angered, Joseph's strange power of light that he used to send Gabriel back to Heaven comes back, and he tries to destroy Cameron with it, but sees a vision of his mother and stops.

Cameron tells Joseph that his power can stop Gabriel. Joseph and Cameron soon confront Gabriel. Using his growing power of light, Joseph once again manages to turn Gabriel into a ball of light, but Gabriel disappears, not ascending. Cameron, who sacrificed himself to save Joseph, is dying, and Joseph seems to have forgiven him. He turns Cameron into a ball of light and Cameron is allowed to ascend back to Heaven, saving his own life.

At the end of the story, Joseph finally bares his fangs, revealing himself to still be angry at Cameron, and he seems to make a choice between whose side he plans to be on. Although it is assumed that Joseph destroyed Gabriel, a pair of mysterious glowing eyes is seen in the darkness.

The Story:

Guardian Angels become Vampires

Back in the 14th Century there were originally four Guardian Angels who were bitten by Earth Vampires, the predecessors to Gabriel. Unable to get back to Heaven, they roamed the Earth until the Church sheltered them, secretly hiding their existence through vague references of blood drinking in the Bible. Fearing them and thinking they were gods, the Church called these Vampires "Angels". One, Gregory, (who would be Janosʼs father), fled to Transylvania and was sheltered by the Vampire Countess Elizabeth Bathory. The remaining three Angels were hidden by the Church in Italy. They were used by the Inquisition, who fed “sinners” to them. However, the Vampire Guardian Angels, Zeke, Anthony, and Jude, grew tired of their captivity, and escaped, with weapons.

Meanwhile, centuries later, in the present day in Los Angeles CA, an author, Ms. Price, dreams the three Vampire Guardian Angels try to kidnap her in a Church. It is revealed that she has actually done research focusing on the existence of Vampire Guardian Angels in the Bible, and is convinced that because of her dream, they are real.

The Vampire Guardian Angels, who are looking for the author who they consider their “creator”, kill their first victim in the city. The murder is investigated by Detective Costa, who finds black feathers at the murder scene.

The Vampire Guardian Angels target patients in hospitals, feeding off of them, and they are gaining followers consisting of Earth Vampires. The Earth Vampires accept the Vampire Guardian Angels as their new leaders as long as they are fed humans and taken care of.

The author visits Detective Costa and tries to convince him that her dream has come true, and that the killings are caused by Vampire Guardian Angels. Meanwhile, the three Angels target their female victims, feeling entitled to doing so because they were denied what they consider pleasures of the flesh, before killing and feeding on their victims.

Detective Costa gets an emergency call, and Ms. Price insists on going with him. As they get to where the latest victim is being attacked, Ms. Price gets kidnapped by Zeke. However, just as the Angels try to kill Detective Costa, the Guardian Angel Cameron appears and saves him. The three Angels take the author and disappear.

Cameron turns out to have become a Vampire and tells Costa who the three Vampire Guardian Angels are and what they want with Ms. Price. Cameron tells Costa that the Angels were sent to open a portal to let the Vampire Guardian Angels in from Heaven so they can take over Earth, and that the author will be an “offering”. Cameron fights the three Angels as Costa frees Ms. Price, who tells him about what the Vampire Guardian Angels consider a “prophecy”, that they will be led by a new leader, Janos, who will bring all the Vampire Guardian Angels from Heaven to enslave humans, and that the portal is the only way in. Cameron reveals to Costa that Vampire Guardian Angels can only be killed by a Guardian Angel who was evil but who turned back to good.  Together, they manage to kill Zeke, Anthony, and Jude. The three angels burn and become balls of light, just like Gabriel did, but Cameron stops their ascent back to Heaven by throwing himself into the dying portal, blocking the portal as it implodes and preventing their resurrection in Heaven. Cameron disappears, presumably killed by the dying portal.

The Story:

Guardian Angels become Vampires

On Earth, back in the 15th Century, a Guardian angel, Gregory, sees a vision of the future of Heaven in a dream. Gabriel, now a Vampire in Heaven is biting all the other angels in a bloody, vicious rampage, turning them into Vampire Guardian Angels™.

Gabriel kills Angels who refuse to become Vampires. It turns out that Gregory, already a Vampire but who is stuck on Earth, has been trying to find a way back to Heaven to turn all the angels into Vampires, but his dreams of Heaven many centuries into the future reveal that Gabriel will be the one to do it. Gregory is one of the first Guardian Angels to rebel, and like Gabriel, is sick of answering human prayers. He has produced a son, Janos, with the Vampire Countess Elizabeth Bathory, but the child is stillborn. Gregory tells the distraught Countess that the dead child will reincarnate and become leader of the Vampire Guardian Angels.

Many centuries into the future, a grown-up Janos, now a college student in Brooklyn, New York, finds himself constantly drawn to Churches where he hears multiple voices asking for help, praying to their Guardian Angel, even though none of these peopleʼs lips are moving and no one is talking to him, but he sees them covered in blood. He also sees Angel statues coming to life. He is getting increasingly distraught that he is hearing and seeing things, and tends to stay out all night, which leads to friction between Janos and his girlfriend, Leah, who lives with him.

Meanwhile, a confused and worried Leah is stalked by Gregory, who, being immortal,  has followed the progress of his son well into the present day.  Janos dreams about Gregory attacking Leah, and, disturbed by the dream, his visions, and the voices, seeks help from the campus psychiatrist, Dr. Harold Lieberman, who only prescribes medication for him. Janos, angry that the psychiatrist cannot help him, storms out.

Janos does not realize that he is really a Vampire Guardian Angel who goes into a trance when he hears prayers of despair. He tracks the voices and feeds off women on campus who pray to their Guardian Angel. This was the reason he stayed out all night, but he does not remember anything the next morning. The bodies are examined by Detectives Graham and Murdock, who find that the victims have been seduced, tied up, and then drained of blood.

Gregory finally decides it is time to reveal himself to Janos at the Church and tell him who he is and about his destiny. Gregory tries to convince Janos of who he is and what he was meant to do, that Janos is a Vampire Guardian Angel and the chosen leader because of his royal heritage from the Countess, and that is why he hears prayers, because he is a Guardian Angel as well.  Janos does not believe him and simply continues to believe that he is going crazy, until he goes home and bites Leah..

Leah throws Janos out, and as Janos finds refuge on campus, he hears a conversation between “Earth Vampires” disguised as students who talk about him and the plans of Vampire Guardian Angels to take over Earth and humans. As Janos, hiding on campus, tries to figure out what is real and what isnʼt, Gregory, disappointed in Janos, decides on “plan B” and decides to create another heir, another leader to take Janosʼs place. He kidnaps Leah and claims her as his own, impregnating her.

Janos eventually seems to accept who he is and his fate and goes on a killing spree, feeding off his victims, whose bodies the detectives find in the basement of Janosʼs apartment. Janos has also killed the psychiatrist, Dr. Lieberman, and because he was a patient as well, the detectives identify Janos as the killer. Janos awakens at the Brooklyn bridge, realizing he has wings and can fly. However, Janos decides he will not do what Gregory wants and refuses to honor his destiny as leader of the Vampire Guardian Angels  as his father Gregory wanted.  Gregory finds Janos on the bridge and tells him he no longer needs him and will get rid of him. But Janos is saved by the detectives, who shoot Gregory. Gregory falls off the bridge and disappears.

Hours later, it is revealed that Janos is actually confined in a mental hospital, and that he is suffering from delusions that he is a Vampire, and that a “Vampire Guardian Angel” was after him. Janos is visited by Leah, and it is further revealed that the recent events were nightmares dreamt by Leah. Leah begs an apparently still-alive Dr. Lieberman to help Janos get better. Distraught, Leah returns home to the apartment, where Gregory, very much alive, surprises and kidnaps her.

The Story:

Prequel. Guardian Angels become Serial Killers

Prequel: The Beginning. (This is the prequel where Guardian Angels are first introduced as Serial Killers and have not yet become Vampires.)

In the city of Los Angeles, CA, there is a disillusioned Guardian Angel on the loose. He is a serial killer with serious issues (and not yet a Vampire.). He introduces himself as Gabriel, and he hates his job of watching over humans.  He narrates that he's desperate to stop people's prayers, that he's sick of their whining, and that he can't keep up with so many prayers. He admits that he targets only those who are despairing and suicidal and who pray specifically for help to a Guardian Angel. He reveals that he targets them because they are in distress, weak, and are easy victims to kill. However, Gabriel further reveals that he can only kill people by mind control. He can't kill them himself because he is still bound to “protect and serve” humans, and that he's doing this behind Godʼs back. However, he can convince despairing humans to kill themselves and make it look like a suicide or an accident, and to put the blame on the victim. Gabriel is desperate to get humans to "shut the hell up" and stop their goddamned nagging prayers.

Gabriel chooses his first victim. Inside a Los Angeles church, police surrounded a priest with a handgun. The comic series introduces  Detective Jay Kirkland who is trying to negotiate with the suicidal priest. However, Gabriel, only visible to the priest, appears in the background and, using his mind control, convinces the priest by psychic mind control to shoot himself. Kirkland fails to save the priest and blames himself for the failed negotiation.

After the incident, Kirkland sits in the church pews, filled with guilt. Heʼs approached by a man who turns out to be his new partner, Detective Cameron, who reveals photos showing the man in black. Meanwhile, Gabriel continues to target victims. In an East Los Angeles neighborhood, he watches a couple, Lupe and Sal, arguing. He targets the depressed  Sal and psychically convinces the young man to brandish a gun, to try to prompt the police to shoot him, and commit “suicide by cop”. Kirkland rushes to the scene and again tries to negotiate with Sal. But Gabriel appears and Sal is convinced to shoot, and the cops fire back. Cameron leaps in front of Sal to try to save his life, but is too late. Kirkland, convinced that Cameron is dead, is shocked when Cameron is unhurt. Cameron then reveals that he and Gabriel are Guardian Angels, that Gabriel has gone bad, and that Cameron is there to stop him. And while Kirkland blames himself yet again for what he sees as another failed attempt to save someoneʼs life, Gabriel returns to the coupleʼs house and causes Lupe to commit suicide by stabbing herself.

Across from the coupleʼs house, a widow, Christina Urbain, is comforting her depressed son, Joseph, who had a bad dream in which someone died. Christina advises Joseph to pray to his Guardian Angel. Christina, still grieving for her deceased husband, heads to the church, to pray. Both inadvertently summon Gabriel, but he targets Christina first. Gabriel angrily confronts Christina and tells her how heʼs sick of her “whining”, insulting her and her deceased husband. He suddenly reveals he has a sword, but he is struck with a chair by a priest, who saves Christina. Gabriel disappears. Cameron arrives at the scene to question Christina about the attack, and escorts her home. But Gabriel still stalks Christina, and returns to attack her, but Cameron saves her. Angered, Gabriel stalks another victim in the church, Tammi, and has her kill herself in front of the priest who stopped him.

As Gabriel leaves, he passes a basin filled with holy water, he sees his reflection. Gabriel has a flashback of him being sent as part of a child army during the crusades to fight. As a child he prayed for his Guardian Angel to save him, but he ended up being killed and became an Angel himself. Gabriel reveals that he is filled with rage because no one saved him, and he resents having to spend eternity being forced to save humans. He destroys some angel statues in the Church.

Cameron visits Kirkland who is drinking heavily, still blaming himself for Gabrielʼs victimsʼ deaths. Cameron tries to convince Kirkland that Gabriel is responsible, not him. Then Cameron goes back to the church and finds Christina. They end up falling for each other. Suddenly, Christina gets a call from her panicked babysitter, who tells her a man is after Joseph. Gabriel makes Karen, the babysitter, kill herself. But Cameron appears and stops Gabriel, who says he will come back for Joseph. Gabriel returns to the Church, prompting the priest to call for help. Cameron responds, and takes Christina and Joseph and returns to the Church to look for Gabriel. He tells Christina and Joseph to stay in the car. But he hears a scream and goes back to the car, finding a black feather and both Christina and Joseph gone.

Cameron finds Gabriel has taken Joseph hostage. Gabriel confronts Cameron, telling him why he is killing humans, because he does not want to “play therapist” anymore. Gabriel attempts to make Joseph walk into his sword to kill himself by telling Joseph her can see his dead father again if Joseph does what Gabriel says, but Gabriel sees a mysterious light in Josephʼs eyes. Joseph somehow convinces Gabriel to “go home” and Gabriel admits that Joseph has “the light”, burns up, turns into a ball of light and rises back to Heaven in a tunnel of light as Cameron, Christina, and Joseph are relieved that their ordeal is over.

But a hiding Earth Vampire grabs a hold of Gabriel, and rises with him to Heaven, biting Gabriel, turning him and the rest of the angels in Heaven into Vampires.

A Los Angeles author and researcher, Ms Price, writes about ancient vampires. Night after night, however, she begins to get nightmares about “angels with black wings and fangs” who tell her of a prophecy: that a new, deadly breed of vampire will take over the world. The dreams tell her that if she looks in the Bible, she will find those ancient vampires in the form of “angels” hidden by symbolism such as blood-drinking, and that if she does not reveal their existence to the world, they will enslave and kill all humans. Ms Price becomes convinced that there were vampires in the ancient text, and makes it her mission to prove it.

However, her obsession unleashes a supernatural spell requiring the power of belief, which accidentally brings these vampires “to life”. These vampires are 4 Guardian Angels in biblical times, Jude, Anthony, Zeke and Gregory, who were bitten by an “earth vampire”, and they remained trapped on earth since they could not return to Heaven because they had turned evil. Because they were still in the form of holy angels, the Church sheltered them, and the Inquisition found a way to use them to get rid of “sinners” by feeding them to these vampires. These “Vampire Guardian Angels”, as they were called, were waiting for the right time, and for the right person, to reveal them, to fulfill an ancient prophesy that their leader, a vampire king born of royal blood, with a queen of royal blood and their “creator”, would lead them to take over the earth. This prophecy was hidden in biblical text, and was the real meaning behind “body and blood” and references to killer angels sent from the Heavens. Part of the prophecy requires a “creator” to bring the vampires to life from the pages of the ancient text , meaning that they were trapped by myth, and that by summoning them through the power of belief, they can finally come out of hiding. They live off humans, tracking down their prey through their prayers of despair. Vampire Guardian Angels can only feed off humans who pray to, or summon, guardian angels. Their prey must be believers.

The four angels soon escape, and wander the earth for centuries. One of them, Gregory, mates with a Hungarian countess and vampire queen, and produces a stillborn son, Janos. But according to the prophecy, Janos, “The heir and prophet”, will “resurrect” and reincarnate into modern times to become first Vampire Guardian Angel king. Janos later does resurrect in Brooklyn, New York, and Gregory, his father, seeks him out to convince him to find, lead and unite the Vampire Guardian Angels. The prophecy requires a leader of royal blood, since Vampire Guardian Angels will only follow a royal, or one who has married into royalty.

But they still need to penetrate Heaven and turn all the angels into vampires. Gregory later has a vision that another Guardian Angel has done so. His name is Gabriel, and he is an angel who has rebelled against his “job” of being a protector of humans and has turned into a serial killer back on earth, killing all those who pray to Guardian Angels. Another angel, Cameron, disguised as a detective on earth, has been sent from Heaven to stop Gabriel and bring him back to Heaven. Gabriel is later killed by Cameron and Joseph, who possesses a mysterious power of light that can kill evil angels. but once they go back to Heaven, they are resurrected.

Gabriel and Cameron return to Heaven through a portal of light created when angels die, but an earth vampire hitches a ride with them, and bites Gabriel, who turns into a vampire. He bites Cameron and all the other angels in Heaven, fulfilling the mission of the Vampire Guardian Angels who were trapped on earth.

Cameron, the good angel, escaped Heaven but accidentally kills Joseph’s mother Christina when he turns into a Vampire Guardian Angel. He confesses this to Joseph and seeks his forgiveness but instead earns Joseph’s lifelong hatred.  Joseph is now out for revenge against both Cameron and Gabriel. Gabriel soon returns to Earth to seek revenge on Joseph. But Cameron continues to protect his stepson from Gabriel, who is injured and retreats and disappears.

In the meantime, the three angels, Anthony, Jude and Zeke try to kidnap the author in Los Angeles in order to bring her to Heaven for their King, Janos. But Cameron and another Los Angeles detective,  Sebastian Costa, who has been dating Ms Price, stop them and save the author. Back in New York, Gregory is dealing with a reluctant Janos, who at first refuses to become King, so Gregory kidnaps and impregnates Janos’s girlfriend, Leah, to produce a “back-up” heir. Janos finally relents and kills Anthony, Jude and Zeke in order to create a portal to get Heaven, where he begins his reign and plans for the descent of the Vampire Guardian Angels to take over earth. However, before he can take Leah and her son with him, she kills herself and the child along with her. Janos takes the throne in Heaven but sinks into depression, and chooses another royal, Prince Jeromos, as his right-hand and heir to help rule in his place.

Back on earth, there is a mysterious plague that is killing humans, earth vampires, and Vampire Guardian Angels. The plague was secretly sent down by Janos, who thought that killing more angels on earth using the plague would create more portals in which to bring down his army. But it backfired and the plague went out of control.  During this time, Joseph, in his desire for revenge, meets Gregory, and finds out about the plans for the earth takeover. Gregory is killed by a plague-infected earth vampire, and becomes a portal of light, which Joseph uses to get into Heaven. He meets with Janos and earns Janos’s trust, who sends him back down with Jeromos to gather an army from the Church.The Vampire Guardian Angels can only target humans who believe in and pray to guardian angels. So in order to enslave all humans, they must turn every human into “believers” and they turn to the Church to strong-arm atheists and other religions into praying to guardian angels by using a secret army, descendants of the inquisitors, that the Church has formed for years for this purpose to assist the Vampire Guardian Angels. Jeromos is also sent down to find a cure for the plague and to create a “breeding program” consisting of humans and earth vampires in order to create a plague-free food source for the angels. But the victims can only be believers and that is why they need the Church’s assistance to convert them. While assisting Jeromos in creating the breeding areas, Joseph secretly wants to kill Jeromos so he can use his portal to get back into Heaven with the Church army  and kill Janos. But Cameron interferes when he arrives once again to save Joseph, and Jeromos escapes.

Jeromos goes into hiding in a fortified monastery. While working on a cure, Jeromos kidnaps the author because he has discovered that as the “creator”, the author has a secret history—she is the cure. She is the descendant of a Spanish royal family and of the inquisitors who sheltered the angels, which makes her a royal and potential queen. Jeromos plans to use her blood, which has healing and regenerative properties along with ancient holy relics, to heal the Vampire Guardian Angels. It is revealed that Jeromos is healing Gabriel as well, who he plans to use to overthrow Janos, since Gabriel is considered the most sadistic, ruthless, and most powerful Vampire Guardian Angel. Jeromos secretly wants to become King and take over Janos’s rule and the Vampire Guardian Angels and Janos’s followers are already changing their allegiance from Janos to Jeromos. Jeromos also adds to his army a new breed of Vampire Guardian Angel: the Angelorumrabidi: hideous, rabid, animal-like experiments used for his army and as his bodyguards.

Costa and Cameron find the monastery and attempt to rescue Ms Price but are stopped by Gabriel. Costa gets bitten by one of Jeromos’s vampire hybrid experiments, the Angelorumrabidi, and turns into a Vampire Guardian Angel. Joseph, who followed them, manages to trap Cameron and Gabriel with his power of light, and goes after Jeromos. Joseph plans to kill all of them so he can use their portals of light and kill Janos. But Joseph, still inexperienced in the use of his own powers, is defeated by Jeromos and has to retreat. Cameron, Costa, and Gabriel also escape from Jeromos’s monastery. Jeromos turns Ms Price into a vampire and plans to make her his queen, fulfilling all aspects of the prophecy, He knows this will lead to all the Vampire Guardian Angels following him unconditionally since he is a royal and has in his possession the symbol of full power: The creator herself, also a royal, as whoever drinks her blood will instantly heal from any injury.

The Vampire Guardian Angels are getting ready for a full-scale apocalypse. Unfortunately, the once-good Cameron has turned evil due to Joseph’s constant rejection of him and has become tired of saving mankind, and now wants power to make up for all that he has suffered through. This leaves no more good angels on earth. Janos has been imprisoned by Jeromos. Costa and all of the other angels, Jeromos, Gabriel, Cameron and Joseph, have now formed their own separate armies to either fight for power, defend themselves, or in Costa’s case, to defend humans and earth vampires who have formed an alliance, and to rescue the author, who is caught in between the fight for power and is in danger from humans and earth vampires who hold her responsible for creating the Vampire Guardian Angels, and from the other angels who want her as their queen.
