The first waystation fell three weeks ago, sacrificed by Amelia and Hiro, although Calypso protested the decision vehemently. That appeased Cho and the others who fled to the other waystations. Reluctantly Calypso stowed away the belongings and artifacts in church owned vaults and joined Riku at Waystation 2. The Japanese and Americans halted their witch-hunt while the Russians and French continued their hunt. Waystation collapsed under the combined scrutiny of the remaining two governments and the growing divide between Amelia, Hiro, and Calypso. Waystation 3 survived by sheer under-reporting.

A near ambush on Waystation 4 left Amelia captured and tortured by human hunters. Riku barely ushered Calypso and Hiro out of the cavern system minutes before the hunters cornered Amelia. Waystation 3 provided a temporary home for the remaining vampire leaders and governing individuals while the streets cultivated individual gangs. Temporary infighting lead to a population decrease, and the governing individuals stepped in only as sheriffs.

Daimyo Shino and Daimyo Kyosuke reigned as the undisputed vampire rulers. The werewolves recovered their strength gradually growing in small numbers across the continents. When they gained a new leader, Daimyo Shino made a pact that lasted nearly a century. Inevitably the tensions between vampires and werewolves rose and war broke out.
