Summary: Van Helsing/Angel crossover. All the monsters in the world are planning an uprising in America. It's up to Van Helsing, Carl, and new hero Angel to stop them. Plus, there is the return of a certain somebody.

"You're sending me off AGAIN?!?"

It was a few months after Dracula's demise and like every other person who has just killed an evil, blood-thirsty fiend who enjoys listening to the screams of innocent people begging for mercy as they realize their end is near (try saying THAT 10 times fast) Van Helsing was expecting a long, well- deserved vacation...which he was obviously NOT going to get.

"W...w...well you see its k...k...kinda important!" stammered Carl, all the while trying to escape Van Helsing's piercing glare. "Well, couldn't it have waited a little, like maybe a YEAR?" Carl frowned. "Are you being sarcastic?" Van rolled his eyes. "Just tell me what we have to do!" Carl's frown deepened. "Um...we?" he asked. Van nodded, a mischievous smirk crossing his face. "Yes...you're coming too!" "DAMMIT!"

A little while later, Carl explained the task. "We have to go to America. There's a Monster Uprising taking place there." Van Helsing watched intently as the Friar threw various objects into a bag. "So it's our job to kill them!" he said. Carl shook his head. "No...that's your job!" Van sighed. "Let's go!"

So our two heroes soon found themselves on a boat heading towards America. The other passengers were wary of the two heavily armed strangers and didn't hesitate to keep their distance...which was fine by the two. "So is there anything you forgot to mention about this little mission Carl?" Van asked as he eyed the dark shore that was slowly getting closer. Carl thought for a moment. "Oh yeah! We're meeting some guy named Angel, he's gonna help us!" Van smiled. "Angel? And you're sure he's a guy?" Carl grinned. "I'm positive! He's a demon hunter as well, so you two should get along!" He said this in a somewhat hopeful sort of way. Van Helsing had a habit of not getting along with people. He wasn't exactly a people person, which was the reason why he didn't care that people were ignoring them or giving them odd looks. Van nodded and sat back to enjoy the rest of the ride as the ship started to pull into the docks.

Meanwhile, leaning against the brick wall of a large building in front of the docks, a young man dressed in a black shirt, black pants, and a long black jacket (I'm not very good with descriptions but if you've seen the show you get the idea) was waiting for a boat to come in. Angel shoved his hands deep into his pocket. He was becoming impatient. He was supposed to find these two guys, another Demon hunter named Van Helsing and a Friar named Carl. Soon the boat pulled in and the passengers piled off, greatly resembling a stampede of multi-colored buffalo. Angel looked through the crowd trying the people he had been waiting for, for the past hour. Soon he noticed two people who were being given quite a wide berth, and he could soon see why. One of them was holding, half concealed behind his long cloak, a golden crossbow. Trotting along behind him was a Friar. Angel nodded and headed in their direction.

Van Helsing and Carl had finally gotten off the boat when they noticed a man coming towards them. "Think that's him?" asked Van quietly. Carl shrugged. The man was soon standing in front of them. "You wouldn't be Van Helsing, would you?" Van eyed the man silently for a moment before answering. "Yes. Are you Angel?" Angel nodded and turned to Carl. "And I take it that you're Carl!" Carl nodded as well. "I'm not a Monk, I'm a friar...just so you know!" Angel raised an eyebrow and looked at Van Helsing. "What's the difference?" he hissed. Van smirked. "Monks can't curse! Friars can!" Angel gave Carl an odd look. "Odd fellow isn't he?" Van rolled his eyes. "You have NO idea!" Carl turned around. "I heard that you know!" he said quickly. Van and Angel grinned. They were definitely going to get along.

How was that for a first chapter? It probably sucked but oh well!!! I just saw Van Helsing and I thought it would be cool to write a story about it! Plus...I kinda just noticed that Angel is like a futuristic Van Helsing...except he's a vampire with a conscience.

Anyway...review and I shall update!!! Eventually!!!
