N.E.S.T Facility, Raccoon City, Midwestern US, September 22, 1998.

"Got eyes on the G-virus," Martinez informed me and the rest of our unit as we were stacked up in front of the door.

"Copy, we're going in," I ordered cooly, and we softly entered the lab and turned around the corner to see Dr. Birkin frantically putting samples of the G-virus in a sealed container. Martinez blew the vent cover off the ceiling and dropped down between us which caused the scientist to whip around to see MP5s aimed right at him. He hugged the case close to his chest like it was his lifeline.

"Dr. Birkin, you'll come with us quietly," I stated stoically while I aimed at him, and I arched a brow behind my gas mask when I saw Dr. Birkin stand up and reach into his lab coat with one hand.

"You think I didn't know you were coming? This is my life's work! I'm not handing over anything!" Dr. Birkin exclaimed desperately with a wild look in his eyes.

"We have our orders, Dr. Birkin. I'll ask you one more time-" I warned coldly but I was cut off when Dr. Birkin pulled out a Glock and aimed wildly. Martinez opened fire in a three round burst and I exclaimed, "Stop! Hold your fire!" as I saw Dr. Birkin's body jerked from the shots, crash into the table and fell lifelessly to the floor.

I signaled Miguel to check Dr. Birkin and he cautiously approached, knelt down to check the Doctor's pulse and he looked back at me to shake his head in frustration, causing me to round on Martinez with a sharp glare.

"What the fuck were you thinking?! Our orders were to bring him in alive!" I reprimanded harshly and turned around while I contacted command, "We're in Sir, but we had a SNAFU. Target resisted and we had to take him out...that's correct, sir...roger that, just the samples then."

I saw Miguel pick up the case and I ordered, "Let's move!"

We all left the lab and went through the facility to return to command and deliver the G-virus samples, not knowing that it was all gonna go to hell. As usual, I would survive another mission gone wrong...because the reaper cannot die.


(a week later)

I put down another T-carrier with one shot through the head and kept moving through the sewers, aiming my MP5 and keeping my eyes open for any more threats. Suddenly my radio came to life.

"This is Nighthawk. Come in, Alpha. Alpha, do you read?" the man inquired and I stopped moving for a moment so that I could respond.

"Nighthawk, this is HUNK from Alpha Team," I replied cooly and I heard a scoff.

"Damn, I thought you guys were all wiped out. I've been trying to-" the man said but I cut him off.

"I'm at point K12. Need info on my extraction," I requested as I started moving again and aimed around.

"Guess there is no keeping down the Grim Reaper, huh?" the man joked but I wasn't in the mood.

"My extraction point!" I demanded as I slid down a ramp and landed in another part of the sewer.

"Relax, Mr. Death. I'm headed towards the front gate of the R.P.D. I'll pick you up there," the man reassured.

"Got it," I said just as more T-carriers came out of nowhere and shambled towards me with hungry snarls.

I took most of them down with single shots to the head, weaving under a carrier's lunge and performing a roundhouse kick that sent it crashing into the sewer water with a splash. I kept moving and encountered more carriers in the form of shamblers, MA-30s (codenamed Cerberus), Lickers, G offspring, and the T-103 Tyrant that was ordered to eliminate any survivors to cover up Umbrella's involvement of what had turned Raccoon City into a warzone. Eventually, as I moved through the police station, I had told Nighthawk to leave me since I wasn't going to make it in time and the man reluctantly agreed while I was busy conserving my ammo through a combination of single headshots with my MP5, shotgun, desert eagle, Heckler and Koch USP, and CQC tactics.

Finally, I made it to the front gate and kicked it open, saw the familiar helicopter approaching and I spoke into my radio.

"Why'd you come back?" I questioned calmly as the helicopter approached.

"I wanted to meet the Grim Reaper," Nighthawk explained simply as the helicopter landed in front of me and I quickly got in.

The pilot took off and I leaned back in my seat, and took off my helmet and gas mask so that I could run a hand through my short brown hair. I started checking my weapons methodically. Once I was done stocking up on full ammo and grenades, I put my gas mask and helmet back on and just stared out the window blankly until I closed my eyes and passed out from exhaustion.

I was suddenly woken up by screaming and my training kicked in as I opened my eyes and saw that I wasn't inside the helicopter anymore. I appeared to be in some kind of television studio, but what really caught my attention was the bipedal human-sized gecko that was standing nearby and laughing like a human. I saw people running and trying to escape out the doors and I noticed that they all looked Japanese, which made me come to the conclusion that I was no longer in Raccoon City or in the States anymore. As I quickly stood up and checked my weapons, I saw that I was stocked up on ammo and grenades and I cautiously approached the stage just as the supposed BOW started talking.

"How dare you call me a lowlife! Die!" the gecko threatened as it swung its tongue at a black haired woman that was sitting in a nearby chair. I started firing single shots at the creature, causing the woman, the gecko, and two other women to look at me.

"What the hell is this?! Some filthy human who thinks he's a hero?! Your puny weapons do not work on me!" the gecko snarled as it turned around fully to swing its tongue at me.

I ducked under the attack and kept firing at the thing, studying the creature to see if I could find any weaknesses that could provide a tactical advantage. One of the women took advantage of the distraction and tried to land a hit with a broom, but the gecko leaped back and used its tongue to latch itself to the ceiling and it swung itself onto a giant scale suspended from the ceiling that was part of the set that looked like it was for some kind of game show. The weight of the gecko, caused the truss hanging from the ceiling to start to collapse.

"Damn you all!" the gecko roared as men in green uniforms came out of the shadows to attack him. The gecko quickly jumped up to the ceiling, ran across and went straight out a window, heading for the roof. I went after it in pursuit and wound up outside with the men in green uniforms.

"You there, stay back! We have control of the situation!" an older man with silver hair and a stern expression told me while I aimed at the creature, but I ignored him.

"It's fine Wolfgang. This human appears to be well trained and could be of some use to us," a voice with a Romanian accent said behind me, and a little girl with long blond hair in pigtails passed us and came into view with a smirk, looking at me in amusement.

"What is your name?" the girl asked me.

"It's classified...but my code name is HUNK or the Grim Reaper," I responded blandly while I kept the gecko in plain sight.

"Well then...HUNK, watch and see how the Princess of Darkness deals with troublemakers," the girl stated and she added while looking at the older man with silver hair, "Wolfgang. Once I am done dealing with the traitor, make sure to inform me of what happened to Akira and see if you can escort our new friend to our new bund."

"Yes, my lady," Wolfgang said respectfully as he and his unit kneeled with a bow and placed a fist over their chests. The girl simply kept walking until she stopped and looked up at the gecko.

"Well, I knew the prospect of appearing on a television show would lure you out of hiding, but I didn't expect you to be quite so bold. It seems this world is full of surprises. Wouldn't you agree with me? You trash," the girl insulted, and I could somehow feel an untold power coming from her which was causing something in me to slowly wake up.

"Rrrghh...you bitch," the gecko growled lowly.

"I find your true form hideous. I'm not surprised since our true forms are a reflection of our hearts. So, this is what an embodiment of a black heart and an arrogant ego looks like...how unfortunate," the girl taunted and the creature started trembling in rage.

"Shut your fucking mouth!" the gecko roared in fury as it went to impale the girl with its claws, but it stopped just an inch in front of her face and the creature struggled.

"What...in the hell?! How are you able to stop me?!" the gecko grunted and I could tell that the girl was smirking, judging from her body language.

"My name is Mina Tepes, blood descendant of Vlad Tepes and also known as Vlad The Impaler. I am the ruler of the Vampire race and you have brought shame to our people. For that, you must die!" Mina declared coldly and I was stewing over the intel of vampires existing in our world.

"I beg you, please spare me!" the gecko pleaded in terror and it started gripping its chest in pain.

The gecko's chest burst open and a spray of blood came out, causing the creature to howl in agony as it backed up and fell off the roof until everything went silent and Mina looked at the camera crew that had been filming the whole thing.

"I have a message for all of you humans. Remember what you have seen today...this is the power of the Vampire race," Mina stated.

"Excuse me Miss, but are you really the ruler of the vampires?!" a reporter questioned while his cameraman filmed everything.

"You doubt me...oh dear. Must I suck your blood? Our bloodlines are tied to the darkness and for centuries we have hidden in the dark of night through the shadows of human history. That is...until today, anyway," Mina said calmly.

"W-why reveal yourself now?" the reporter asked curiously with a hint of nervousness while I was checking my MP5, and Mina pointed to an area that was to her left.

"That bund over there, Tokyo number zero, that place will become something special. On that land, I will establish the kingdom of the Vampire race. It will be known as...the Vampire Bund!" Mina declared and I started going over the intel I had learned.

Vampires exist and they have been living among us in secret until they decided to reveal themselves and establish a colony on a landfill...I was interested in what would happen next and what Princess Tepes had planned for humanity but I still needed to get back to HQ so that I could turn over my report and get debriefed on how the mission turned into a SNAFU. I was taken out of my thoughts when I saw Mina approaching me and she grinned.

"Well, now that that is out of the way, let us escort you to our new home, HUNK," Mina suggested and I was lead to the front of the building and we took a limo to the new Vampire Bund.


A/N So, how do you like this new story since putting Mr. Death himself into the world of Dance in the Vampire Bund was something I just couldn't resist. Now, I hope I got HUNK's personality right since there is not much known about him backstory wise other than that he trained at Rockfort Island in the mid nineties and has survived every single mission he went on for two whole years until the Raccoon City Incident. One more thing, I'm going to give a reason why HUNK was able to survive missions that would kill a normal man and I think you would be surprised what it is in the next chapter. If that's all, review and stay tuned.
