A Dramatic Entrance!
There was another occasion that Nikolai Dante became became separated from his sergeant. In Prog 1237 (April 11 2001) during the Romanov attempt to seize the Darklands (the perpeptually dark vampire ruled province of the empire) his troops were captured but Dante escaped. While he planned a rescue Elena and the surviving troops met the vampire overlord of the Darklands. Script by Robbie Morrison, art by Steve Yeowell
Selene was refering to Emmanuelle who had dedicated herself to destroying vampirism after Selene turned her into one. She accompanied Dante on his rescue mission which succeeded in rescuing his troops and wiping out the vampires. Another success for Dante and the Irregulars but all good things come to an end and the war turned against the Romanovs. Betrayed by his family except for Andreas Romanov (who had stayed because he had just begun a passionate affair with Elena) Nikolai made his last stand in his protectorate, Rudistan awaiting the inevitable unstoppable onslaught. In Prog 1257 (Aug. 29 01) Elena was offered a chance to escape the end. Script by Robbie Morrison, Art by John Burns.
Elana returned to the city for the final battle alongside Andreas. He died in the fighting trying to save civilians leaving Elena to mourn. If she escaped from the Czar's mop up forces remains unrecorded at present. Dante's still at large so maybe he'll meet up with Elena again someday.
