Chapter 2
Alucard arrived in Nottingham within hours of receiving the news from Integra that this city was attacked by vampires. He strode slowly and confidently into the city, while having his guns ready by his sides. "This is… unusual. I don't feel any signs of vampires around here, nor any humans or animals for that matter." Alucard's body became stiff with tension as this was no regular situation that he was walking into. He removed his twin guns out of their holsters from his red trench coat, ready to fire at anything that moves suspiciously. He continued his stroll along the main road into the city, as he turned a corner he could smell the strong smell of death, decay and blood. Bodies were scattered everywhere on the ground, some were torn beyond recognition, while others still had a human looking face but he could tell that these were ghouls. "It seems like someone was here before me to clean up this mess…" He scowled at the defeat. He decided that he'd best investigate who else was here to do his dirty work.
He continued on this road of death, and as he progressed there seemed to be more and more bodies lying at his feet. The bodies seemed to come to an all-time high near the door of a bar with it its glowing yellow sign indicating its name was Tantra. He tried opening the door, but it seemed like something was blocking him from opening it. He took a step back, and kicked the door in. The stench of death and blood was overwhelming for his vampiric senses, but it wasn't an unpleasant feeling for him. He walked in like he ruled the world. As he stepped onto the dead bodies, the sound of breaking bones and squishing flesh could be heard. He continued walking through the ruined bar, as he did so he didn't quite care if he was stepping on someone who was once human, or that he was making a lot of noise. The interior of the bar was of a dark green color for the walls, with a nice red colored for the sofas and the counter for the drinks. Both the furniture and the walls would be stained with blood for a very long time after this place is cleaned up. He wondered who could have beaten him to this area when he was almost certain that they had received the information as it was happening.
"That was the last of them." Abel said as he slashed cleanly through the body of a ghoul. "All of the vampires and ghouls have been taken care of." He nodded with satisfaction as his stomach growled violently. He scowled and rubbed his stomach. Guess it's time to eat, he thought as he reverted back to his humanoid form and walked out the back entrance of the bar. Before he could get any food into his body, he received a call and noticed the number. He immediately took the call. "Each vampire I killed in there had the symbol. They are back and from the looks of things, they have just begun and are growing in numbers very rapidly. This could become another full scale war, a war that we cannot afford and England can't afford it. They are finally able to rebuild their lives." He paused to hear the response on the other end, his jaw dropping from what he was hearing. "So we're finally putting aside our differences to co-operate with the British?" He brought back his composure and nodded. His stomach rumbled once again and he sighed. Looks like my stomach will have to wait to be fed.
Alucard walked back the way he came from to reach the door to the bar. He spoke into the small microphone he carried with him whenever he went on missions. "Everything is cleared here, though someone did the job before I could. Send some of your men to clean this place up." He waited a couple of seconds for the other person on the line to speak. "I have no idea who cleaned up this place, but they did a thorough job. Iscariot XIII couldn't have possibly done this. They don't have enough man power now that Anderson and Maxwell are dead." He waited again, and nodded as he hung up. He traveled back to London to discuss things in person with his master.
