Slayer: Well guess what? We are back in action! Or at the very least I am… Judan is still doing his own little thing but I am here at least.

Shadow: Hey don't forget about me! Hello to all my various fans out there!

Slayer: Yeah whatever. In any case welcome to the adventures of Slayer Infinium Redux! A newer updated version of the original story.

Shirone: Yep! Though most of the story will remain the same, we will be adding in some new things as well as changing others.

Slayer: That is correct little sister. In a way this is so we can go in and fix past grammar mistakes as well as make the story run more smoothly. In fact we shalt be doing this for all of our stories so welcome the Redux series.

Shadow: Alright now with that out of the way, how about you kick us off Shirone?

Shirone: Sure, okay now the Dark Guard productions own nothing but OC's and reality building concepts. Everything else belongs to their respective owners. Now without further ado…

Everyone: Here's the story!

The Adventures of Slayer Infinium!:Redux

Prologue: I go on Enthusiastic walks

You know when I got into that car crash I didn't think that I'd almost die. Or even that I would get sent to a nearby shady hospital. Lucky me that things don't always turn out as planned. Oh sorry let me introduce myself, my name is I don't remember actually. However you can just call me Hunter because of my newest profession as a Beast Hunter. Let me start at the beginning since this is probably confusing you. It all started on a normal Saturday on a blue planet called earth. I was seventeen at the time, and I was on my way to work having graduated from school earlier than my peers. While they were still doing homework in the nice spring days I was busy saving up for college. My car was a nice white ford Taurus. Today however would change my life forever. During the drive a truck slammed into mine, because of the impact my head hit something and I blacked out.

So I really don't remember what happened next, but I do remember waking up in some creepy room with an old guy giving me a blood transfusion. He said a few things about what I would be seeing next, and that it would all be a bad dream. He was unfortunately right; I shudder just thinking about what happened. There was a bloody werewolf that got on fire! And then there was a bunch of creepy looking ghouls crawling on my face! It freaked me out! After though I woke up feeling different, and so began my journey of hunting beasts. You could never understand the pain and horror I felt while fighting those things. They were monstrous and hideous and…

"Oh just shut up already!"

"Huh?" I looked towards the man wearing a red wide brim hat with red pants, a red long coat, red tie, and orange glasses with a white undershirt. The man was also fairly tall about way over six feet to be honest. The man also had sharp teeth and black hair with pale skin. I myself was five foot ten, and was wearing a long brown leather coat that was open from the waist down. It also had a high collar that went past my ears. I also had on black leather pants stuffed into brown long boot with metal greaves. On my hands were full black leather gloves with metal forearm protectors.

Around my waste was a single leather belt with buckles in both the front and back. Hanging from my shoulder and looping around on my right side was another belt. Only this one had a gun holster attached to it. On my head was a brown leather tri-corn cap with feathers on the left side of it. This covered my pitch black hair.

I was also wearing a black shirt and vest. I also wore a red scarf that covered my mouth and nose. Over my red eyes were black circular sunglasses much like Alucard's. On my hip on my right side was a black and silver sheath that had a curved handled katana in it. They were both quite shiny, much to my dismay when sneaking around. On my left side was a large black revolver that had up to four shots. I held its ammo in a black pouch attached to my belt on my backside. As for my build… I would say it was lithe yet athletic, but back to my conversation with the homicidal vampire…

Quickly did I see that said vampire really didn't care for my story, if his sarcastic voice was anything to go off of. "Listen I get it you had a horrible time. But what I asked you was how you got down here, and why you're interrupting my episode of adventure time." I couldn't help but sound a bit off put from that question.

"Well sorry Alucard! I was just telling my story, as for how I got here it was thanks to my dimensional abilities. I left that other world behind to rot, let some other poor hunter deal with it! Besides there are hundreds I'm sure they can handle it." Alucard sniffed before turning back to his Seventy inch plasma screen TV only for it to explode along with the door behind it. Suffice to say that he sounded very tired as he spoke to the intruder.

"That… was a seventy inch… plasma screen TV." He took a deep breath and that's when I knew things were about to go down. So taking out my pistol and katana I waited to see what would happen. My blade was colored silver and had no guard on it.

You see it was meant to be used in quick strikes and parries. Although it had a secret function, my pistol however was straight forward. Sighing to myself I wondered how I go into these situations. Alucard said a few things to the man with glasses and white suit. The man also had long blonde hair and seemed to be giving off a bunch of boring information about Alucard. So raising my pistol I shot him while he was doing his monologue. This killed him out right and his voice died in his throat as his head exploded. Alucard only gave me a look.

"What?! He was wide open and doing a monologue what else was I supposed to do?" Alucard started cracking up and walked over me to put his arm around me.

"I think we'll get along just fine" Oh lucky me I'm friends with an insane vampire lord. Well I guess it could be worse. With that last thought we both heard an explosion up stairs.

"Me and my big mouth…" Running up stairs while Alucard stayed behind because he decided to eat the blonde, I ran across a couple of Zombies or ghouls as they were called. Ghouls in this world are mindless zombie slaves created by vampires. Things were starting to look like what they did in the dimension I ran from. So after quickly dispatching the offenders I went back to Alucard that just finished his "lunch". "Hey I think I'm going to go back to my hunters dream." I took out my card and handed it to him. "So if you ever need me just give me a call on the hunter hotline."

With that I turned around and swiped my hand through the air creating a black vortex that I walked through. This teleported me back to my mansion. The place where I store my loot, upgrade my equipment, buy supplies, and also increase my power through the blood I collect. Yes you heard me BLOOD! I distil the blood through a special container and then use the left over energies to increase my own powers. True it is rather creepy but hey whatever works. Once before I had a sentient doll who helped me convert said blood, or blood echoes into power. Now I have to do it myself thanks to not having her with me anymore. To be honest leaving her was probably the thing I felt the worst about. But hey! At least there was nothing there to hurt her. But back to my home…

Originally the mansion could only hold maybe two or three people, but do to some work I managed to make it large enough to house over thirty. Although this was just precautionary measures since I was currently the only one living there. Man am I lonely… Truth be told I am incredibly powerful, I'm strong, fast, agile, smart, and charismatic if I do say so myself. Of course that last part was quite debatable depending on the circumstances.

I remember my first major monster fight. At the time I was inexperienced, and fighting the giant Cleric Beast was definitely not high on my list at the moment. But bravely I fought on and eventually cut it down. Good times… If only I knew what other beasts I would be facing, I would've just hidden away in my hunters dream for the rest of my life!

Of course now I will live for an incredibly long time, which is fine by me by the way. I could only thank the Outsider that he decided to shake things up by giving me dimensional void powers. Of course being able to blink and cast ice and wind spells was a huge bonus. He said by giving me these powers he would be thoroughly entertained. So hey who am I to disappoint him. So far I've jumped to a few different dimensions, with the latest landing me next to Alucard.

So now I'm not just an old one and beast hunter, but also a voidwalker… yea! I say sarcastically… So now here I am resting up and eating some dinner before jumping to another world.

"Truly I have no idea what I'm doing." It's strange how I've developed a habit of talking to myself when I'm alone. But that just goes to show that I truly am going insane. No doubt the outsider is laughing his head off. Sighing I headed off to the kitchen. I took off my hat and put it onto a rack as I also pulled down my scarf on the way over. Allowing my tanned skin to get some air, I may love my outfit but it sure didn't breathe easy. Now in the kitchen I head for the fridge, and took out some thawed chicken breast and some lettuce and a few other things.

Today I decided to have some chicken Caesar salad, so I quickly grilled up the chicken and tossed the salad while putting on the dressing and putting in some croutons and tomatoes. After the chicken was done I cut it up and tossed that in as well. Sitting down I said a pray and started to dig in, yeah I still say prays so what! I'll do what I want! After all the creator is a real thing… if the outsider is to be believed. Which I in fact do, mostly because he had nothing to gain from lying about that.

I ate the entire thing which mind you was quite a lot. Along with my increased abilities I've also have received a larger appetite, go figure? After eating I got up and washed the dishes, and went to my study area and started to log my day's events in my journal. I was interrupted by a call on my interdimensional phone. Excited for a job and also glad about my idea of sending random fliers to different worlds actually seemed to work, I quickly picked it up.

"This is the hunter hotline my name is Hunter please tell me your request and I'll see what I can do." I heard some creepy chuckling from the other side of the phone and before I could ask who he was he started talking.

"Hello hunter san my name is Mikogami, and I'm the headmaster of a school called Yokai Academy. A school made to help young monsters integrate into human society. As much as it pains me to say I need your help." I was now certainly confused. It wasn't the fact that I thought his school was silly or outrageous; to be honest I found the idea quite amazing and was on board for it. No I was confused why the headmaster of a school for monsters would contact a monster hunter for help.

"Ok not to say I have anything against you but… Why do you need my help specifically?" I heard a tired sigh from the other side of the phone.

"Well in order to test the school, and to try and get monsters and humans closer, I've brought in a human student. However he is just ordinary and I now worry that he won't make it. I am calling you to come and protect. Your presence won't be noticed as much as his since you are essentially part old one because of the blood you carry. I can tell you now the pay will be substantial, you'll also be given your own room and your meals will be free. The only down side is that you will most likely be staying here until he graduates or until he dies. Now that you know this what is your decision?"

I had to think carefully about this, do I really want to go back to school? The pay sounded good and I'd be doing it for a good cause. Wait a minute… What is my actual pay?

"Before I decide on anything how much will you be paying me?" He chuckled a bit before answering me.

"You'll be paid two thousand in advanced, twenty dollars an hour, and five hundred thousand when you're done." My eyes practically bulged from my sockets while my mouth fell opened. The amount he was paying me would ultimately end up in the millions if I did my job right. Money it truly does make the world go round. Funnily enough I didn't even need money, but what can I say? The still human side of me wanted to roll around is some dough.

"Alright headmaster sign me up! Now when and where do I have to go? I'm sure you can send me your dimensional coordinates?" He told me the coordinates while I wrote them down.

"So you know you'll appear at the bus stop that the boy Tsukune Aono will be at. That's the human you'll be protecting. He a rather plain looking fellow with no combat experience. I hope that won't be a problem?

"Eh don't worry about it. When push comes to shove I am pretty good in a scrape. Speaking of which, what will be the ground rules for engagement when protecting my charge?" I really didn't need to go to jail or lose the job for simply protecting the kid after all.

"You can break bones, immobilize, and intimidate. You can also kill but only as a last resort, however with if you're as strong as your flier suggested. Then I believe you won't need to fall back on that." Though he couldn't see it I nodded my head in understanding.

"I completely understand headmaster, now just tell me the time and I'll be there."

"Excellent be at the bus stop at seven this will allow you time to adjust a bit. Now then I need to go work on some things so we'll talk more when you're here so goodbye for now."

"Yeah see ya." With those words he hung up and I put the phone back down. Smiling I transferred the connection to my cell phone and began packing for the trip. Things were finally looking up. If only I knew what to truly expect at Yokai academy.

Slayer: And that's a wrap for the first prologue Redux. We'll work on the Tale of the dark guard book two next. We hope this prologue was a lot smoother and not as cringy to read as the last version. Because I do admit that was hard for me to read after a while. But what can I say? That was a very long time ago.

Shadow: I'll say… it's almost been ten years. But here we are rewriting everything so things run more smoothly. Also in this story Hunter or Slayer is starting out at fifthteen.

Slayer: Yeah… I mean before we had a whole thing about why he was deaged… but we never got around to explaining it. So after some thinking I changed it to this. But in any case that's all for now, so Shirone mind sending us off?

Shirone: Sure! Well this has been a Dark Guard production now signing off!

Everyone: BYE!
