Integra sat at her desk, glaring at the paperwork she was looking over.
"This isn't exactly vampires… This is something more."
Integra jumped as Alucard's voice sounded behind her.
"Demons, I'd imagine. What are your orders, master?"
Integra turned to him, holding up the page she had been looking at.
"You are to contact that amateur demon killer, Mister Dante. He may be most useful."
Alucard smiled, and bowed deeply. He then turned and left, flashing Walter a wild smile on the way out. Alucard was looking forward to fighting demons, and the young demon hunter only sweetened the deal.


Dante stood on the demon who had just killed, holding its severed head in his hand. He looked at the head, which had its face frozen in a gasp of shock.
"You are ugly."
Dante didn't jump as a deep voice said, "Well executed, boy."
Dante dropped the head. "Thanks, old timer. What's up? You need me to help you across the street?"
Alucard smirked, approaching. Dante calmly turned to face him, looking bored. Alucard rapidly drew his gun, pointing it towards Dante. Dante didn't flinch, even when Alucard pulled the trigger, firing a shot past Dante and decapitating another demon like the one Dante had killed. Alucard holstered the Casull gun, stepping right up close to Dante, who stood waiting for him. It had been several months since they had first met, and Alucard had kept some form of contact in the form of prank calls involving threats of banning pizza and introducing the compulsory addition of olives to pizza.

The two red clad demonic hunters reached each other, Alucard standing almost a foot taller.
"So gramps, what's up your ass? You wants something?"
Alucard took a step back, placing another bullet into the magazine of his gun.
"Demons have been attacking London, and my master has ordered me to bring you into this. She obviously feels you can help."
Dante nodded. "I just hope there's some money involved, 'cos I could use some."
Alucard chuckled. "Master Integra has decided to pay for something for you. Perhaps a building of your own to work in?"
Dante thought about it. "That sounds pretty sweet. I'm in."


Walter C Dornez sat in the basement in Alucard's seat, thinking about his decisions. He remembered when he had attempted to speak to Major SS Sturbanfuhrer during the war, and had been unable to do so because of his encounter with the Last Battalion's Lieutenant whom Alucard had not been able to classify. Having encountered more like him, Walter now knew the Lieutenant had been a demon of lower middle class. The deadliest demon Walter and Alucard had encountered as of yet was actually the one called Dante, but Alucard knew from consuming weaker demons that demons existed with power the like of which would make the world tremble.

Walter had been horrified to discover that demons existed whose power was far greater even than Alucard's, a fact Walter had found sobering. Walter sometimes wondered if it was that knowledge that had broken him of his desire to surpass Alucard, as he knew beating Alucard would not make him the best. He now had much more interest in working with Alucard to try and vanquish these great demons, which was why he had allowed Integra to wake Alucard rather than help her himself, as he wanted Alucard's knowledge and power on his side, though he did plan to fight these demons himself if he could. Walter was bothered by the fact that Alucard had described the young man Dante as already stronger than the Captain of the Last Battalion despite having only begun to discover his power, and that was nothing compared to the knowledge that a being stronger than the Captain despite being nowhere near his full strength yet was still only an upper middle class demon, with at least one class of demon still far stronger.

Walter's battlelust-fuelled thoughts were interrupted when the phone rang, and he answered it.
"Sir Integra. Yes, I'm in Alucard's room in the basement. Yes, I'll fly out to meet the two of them right now if you like. They should be back soon provided they didn't run into any trouble."
