30 days of night vampires vs Twilight vampires

[gamer]

Yep the bloodthirsty vampires from the 30 days of night comic series are going to fight the sparkly supervampires of Twilight.

36 vampires arrive in the small town of Forks, Washington their mission, attack the town drain its blood and infect the population can the Cullens save the town?

The vampires from 30 days of night are probably severely outmatched physically so they came prepared, the vampires arriving are equipped with weapons like Mac-10 submachine guns, blades, shotguns, PK machine guns, AK-47 assault rifles, and a flamethrower or two not sure what good this will all do but it would be more intelligent and alot more reasonable than running out there with just their claws.

30 Days of Night abilities
enhanced strength- strong enough to rip a man to pieces with their bare hands with ease or punch straight through a man's skull.
enhanced speed- fast enough to keep up with speeding cars and capable of leaping on to the roofs of multi-story buildings.
enhanced durability- extremely resilient to gunfire (bullets penetrate but don't really do damage), and can survive being burned alive, stabbed or even explosives like grenades going off right on their bodies will not kill them. They also possess extremely powerful regeneration even a charred skeleton can be brought back to life at full strength in seconds if fresh blood comes into contact with their remains. In Dark Days one recently turned vampire even had his head completely smashed to pieces but the next day was up and running in full health, he was then presumably burned alive and again the next day was seen again unharmed.
superhuman senses- Its not said to what extent but their sight, hearing, and sense of smell is described as far beyond the levels of ordinary humans.
infection- vampirism is highly contagious just a simple scratch can turn a human into a vampire in just minutes
additional powers- extremely rare but in the comics some vampires had the ability to teleport, talk telepathically, or even shapeshift well at least according to the wiki I've only read a few comics.
weaknesses- UV radiation is extremely lethal though they can be resurrected if blood comes into contact with the charred corpse. Extreme cold weakens their senses.

Twilight abilities (I don't know much about Twilight so this info is from http://twilightsaga.wikia.com/wiki/Vampire#Strength )
super strength- multi-ton level easily quite capable of uprooting trees and stopping moving automobiles
super speed- said to run so fast they appear like a blur so I'm guessing over a hundred miles per hour, and capable of leaping over small rivers.
super durability- their bodies are said to be hard like solid granite.
superhuman senses- Its not said to what extent but their sight, hearing, and sense of smell is described as far beyond the levels of ordinary humans.
other abilities- rare http://twilightsaga.wikia.com/wiki/Special_abilities
weaknesses- besides sparkly skin, none it seems besides decapitation and fire

Umm, why would the Cullens even intervene? In Twilight, the Cullens didn't even seem to mind that the trio of vampires came to Forks and was feeding on people. They have a rather, "If it doesn't affect us, who cares?" attitude.

What if the 30 Days of Night vampires came for Bella, and decided to slaughter and pillage as much as they could? That would likely bring Edward (and thus the rest of his clan) into it.

The sparkle vamps would die because they're so godawful annoying.

I do like the scary, violent, psychopath approach (not sexy, not pretty, just nightmare fuel) with the 30 Days vamps but their lore never made a lot of sense. How did these vamps even manage to stay below the radar with the way they operate? They should be known worldwide. That eventually changed in the later comics but they should have been a known thing right from the start.

With any crazy-strong enemy like 30 Day vamps, the question comes down to how much attention do they draw? They can kill individual humans but they can't take on the army. If they can easily turn the people they kill then it's no contest, humanity is doomed. If they can't turn people easily, then it becomes a matter of avoiding picking fights they can't win. The vamps would have to operate guerrilla-style, always skipping out before a military force can arrive.

I'm only familiar with Twilight from the rifftrax but sparkle vamps seem like generic comic book heroes. The powers are vaguely specified, inconsistently portrayed and impossible to pin down. Can Thor kick the Hulk's ass? They both have arbitrary, bullshit powers so it all depends on the writer. Can Batman beat Superman? Not in a fair fight since you're talking mortal vs. demigod. It'll come down to the writer and require some combination of Superman forgetting to fight smart and Batman getting kryptonite and using some bullshit tech. But for all practical purposes, a plausible and interesting fight is impossible. Navy Seal vs. Spetsnaz, interesting. Cub Scouts vs. Spetznaz, won't be pretty.

I think your most satisfying story here would be seeing the sparkle vamps taken down by the numbers by 30 Day vamps with their undead badassery, then have those guys taken out by armed humans who have had just about enough of this bullshit. Cops and local rednecks had their guns and holy water ready if the local sparklies ever decided to get all bitey and ill-mannered. Plan still works on vamps whether or not they sparkle.

I watched the Rifftrax version and did an article on their biology and symbolism for a blog and one thing I noticed at least in the films is their quasi-crystaline/rocky body structure. When they are hit hard enough, they break like a rock does, splitting along fault lines.

This might also help explain why young vampires are stronger than new ones in that series--the older ones are more 'brittle' than the younger ones.

Also, their flamable fluid also greases their eyes. Yes, really.

I also basically call them Sparkly Horta, since as far as I'm concerned, they're silicone based life forms.

If UV radiation is lethal to 30 days vamps, then any moron with some UV lights can take them out and properly dispose of the body. The sparklies, if they are smart, will abuse this once they find out. Hell, UV lamps with motion sensors can even be rigged up to any place with electricity.

Also, do 30 days vamps have any way to enforce their will on those they turn, or do humans that turn become evil D&D style? Because if turning doesn't shackle you or essentially kill you and put a monster into your skin, then what's the guarantee that those humans they turn won't decide to turn on them? They could easily have "civil" wars on their claws.

Yeah it doesn't make sense that they haven't conquered the world since just being scratched by one turns you into a vampire in minutes. Vampirism seems to act almost like mind control for most people. In Dark Days a man whose been hunting vampires for years suddenly gets bitten and minutes later he's trying to kill his own friends and then from then on he's a loyal servant to the vampires, though there have been cases where people resist but for the most part they turn and become loyal monsters.

I think there are much easier ways to kill them than UV lights, you need very powerful UV lights to hurt them and even then its not instantly lethal it just burns the skin off and creates extreme pain which would cause them to run away or shoot the lights out. Then it would take a long time to rig buildings with UV motion sensor defenses. You need industrial strength UV lights something like this except with blacklights so you would have to acquire a bunch of those.

Twilight vamps are pretty invulnerable afaik; so I guess they'd win.

yeah probably, sad though. The sparkly ones get to live another day. What would it take to kill them?

Alucard, but that's be serious overkill.

Any competent military organization and/or vampire hunters?

[gamer]

i heard twivamps are highly flammable and the weapon loadout for the 30 days of night vampires include flamethrowers would that help?

30 days of night vampires also have very impressive regeneration allowing them to come back even after being reduced to just a skeleton if they come into contact with fresh blood so that could help.
