Now the OC's come into the story, and we'll start it off with the main one himself. Like I said in my first story, I'm never doing A/N unless it's to address something. So, without further ado, here's the second chapter of T.V.T.D.G!
Undisclosed location
The Scroll wasn't necessary to even find out what caused the shift in power; it was quite clear that two dark beings fell through the rabbit hole, with one of them weaker than the other. Oblivion noticed that the Ruby chess piece was near the two new chess pieces, and picked one of them up. "So, he has made his way here," the Dark God said, chuckling darkly. "This is interesting; I guess I left something behind back on Earth." He looked up, and found his assistant, VulGrimm, waiting for orders. "Intercept those two new players, and let them know that Coronox Kardas wants to have a word with them."
VulGrimm nodded in haste, and then asked, "Should I tell them where they can find him?" Oblivion nodded, and replied, "Tell them to look in the place where the shadows aren't displaced by light, and they'll find him."
VulGrimm saluted, and left the room, leaving behind the pair of yellow eyes still on the throne. "You may have learned to fight 500 years ago back on Earth, Alucard, but how well can you manage fighting here on Remnant, my dear friend?"
Vale Docks, Vytal
It was a trip to remember; Alucard, seeing as though he was a vampire, forgot to carry his coffin along into the portal, but somehow wasn't affected when he was on the boat, sailing to Vale, whatever that place was Ruby is talking about. It appears that the rules that bound vampires back on Earth weren't in effect here on Remnant, if this was what the planet was called. To test something out, he thought of the River of Death, and to his surprise, brought out twenty familiars before having to shove them back into the shadows. "This isn't right," Alucard said to himself. "I thought the Cromwell Restrictions were still in effect, but it appears to not exist on this planet."
Seras wasn't in his presence; she was on the deck, having a nice talk with Ruby about the world they are in now. "Wait, so what you're saying is that you come from another world called Earth?" Ruby said, still confused.
"Yes and whatever we touched brought us here," Seras replied. "It was a portal of some kind, created by something very powerful. My master and I are trying to find who or what caused the anomaly and recruit him to the Hellsing Organization." This is when Ruby perked up, and said, "Oh, do you mean Coronox? He may know something about what you're talking about, though I doubt it was him. Anyways, what kinds of weapons do you guys have?" The talkative girl immediately went into her weapon-gushing mode, and Seras had no choice but to comply; she may be a vampire, but even she couldn't resist the puppy eyes Ruby was giving off. I think the Master may even have a hard time trying to resist, Seras thought.
Pulling out the bulky cannon, she began talking, "This is the Harkonnen: It's a 30m.m cannon that can fire piercing tank rounds and incendiary rounds as well. It is designed to be an anti-freak weapon, which means it kills ghouls, vampires, whatever isn't natural." She stopped talking, to find another confused Ruby. "Umm…what's wrong?"
"It fires what type of ammo now?" she asked. "Don't you mean red Dust rounds?" Now Seras was confused. "Red what rounds?"
"Right, you aren't from here," Ruby then realized. "Ok, so coming from memory, Dust is a type of crystal that is used to create energy, whether that would be in the form of fire, ice, lightning, etc. We also use it not for weapons or ammo, but for fuel as well. This boat we're on? It's powered by Dust." Seras nodded in understanding; a weapon this strong could be of high interest being used against Millennium. Speaking of freaks…
"What were those monsters we faced back there, exactly?" Seras asked, which Ruby replied happily with, "Those monsters are called Grimm; they are soulless creatures that attack all humans and Faunus' peoples alike. Hunters and Huntresses are people that kill Grimm, in which they use weapons-" she pulled out Crescent Rose, in full scythe bravado "-somewhat like this, to send them back to hell. My words used, not theirs." Seras was still very uneasy about the menacing look of the scythe being wielded by a young teenager. "Tell me how exactly you are not even struggling to wield that weapon?" she asked, still very nervous.
"Well, part of that would be because of my sister crushing me every chance she got-not in an evil way, mind you-and another part is because of my Aura," Ruby said, and before Seras could ask, Ruby then said, "Aura is the thing that lives inside people-everyone in Remnant has it, but with most it hasn't awakened just yet-that have a soul, that's what separates the humans and Faunuses from the Grimm, whom have no soul to begin with. Each person has their own Aura color, but each semblance is chosen at random, whether it would be speed, glyphs, polarity, shadows, fire, etc." This made Seras lower her gaze, for she knew what she was. Ruby noticed, and said, "Something wrong?"
"N-no, there isn't anything wrong," Seras said, hoping that it would work. But, because Ruby is acting like the hero every now and then, she replied, "Don't lie to me, something is bugging you, so tell me what is wrong." Not to her knowledge, Alucard was on the deck of the ship, listening to every word. Hearing this, he smiled, but didn't reveal his teeth, and walked out of the shadows. "You are correct by the matter of fact that we aren't from around here. But back on Earth, we were changed to Nosferatu, vampires, Miss Rose," Alucard said, making Ruby jump, and stare in shock.
"Wait, the two of you are vampires? Then tell me how in the hell are you not burning up in the light?" Ruby asked, hoping that she wouldn't get killed. Alucard laughed, and replied with, "Don't read those stories, Miss Rose, they're mainly fiction. However, something occurred when we walked through the portal, and now, I'm starting to believe that the stories have become fiction now; I'm traveling over a large body of water without my coffin, I'm walking in broad daylight-something that you noticed-and the restrictions that were placed on me back on Earth are not in effect here."
Ruby just gaped, but turned around, and said, "Oh look, we made it to Vale!" She seemed very ecstatic to get off the boat, away from the vampires, but stopped and said, "Hurry up, you slowpokes! We need to let the crew do their thing too, you know." Seras just looked at Alucard, and chuckled slightly. After a minute of walking, Ruby then said, "Ok, I know you both are vampires, but if I'm correct, then you could probably get your Aura to activate, that is, if this world will let you." Seras' face lit up with anticipation, and Alucard had a look of interest, but was soon replaced by an edgy look. "We're being followed," Alucard said, pulling out his trademark guns. Ruby made an 'ooh' sound, but soon unsheathed the HCSS on her back.
The trio waited for something to pop out, and sure enough, a man rose quickly from the shadows, with a receding hair line, black sunglasses, a rough face, and a black suit to top off the look. If anything, he looked like a more formal version of Alucard, without the long hair, of course. Ruby recognized him, and said, "VulGrimm? Why are you hiding like that; you know I don't particularly enjoy it too much." The man smiled, but it vanished quickly. "I'm not here for surprises, Ruby; I'm here for the vampires next to you." Alucard fired a shot from the Jackal, but the man named VulGrimm dodged it with ease. "Not to kill, of course, but to bring a message. AND WOULD YOU PLEASE STOP TRYING TO KILL ME, DAMNIT!" He was saying this while Alucard was still shooting at him, in which Ruby had to step in.
"Alucard, stop! He's a friend of mine," she said, in which Alucard stopped firing, but kept the guns up as a precaution. VulGrimm dusted himself off, muttering to himself in the process, and then said, "Coronox Kardas wants to have a word with you two, and seeing as though you are with Ruby here, I'll let her lead you to him. Good day, Alucard." He then walked backwards into the alleyway right behind him, and vanished.
Seras spoke up first after the meeting: "So, where is this Coronox Kardas person we are to meet?" She turned to Ruby, but only saw an outline. "Wha…where…" was all that she would say. In the silence that followed, a tumbleweed blew through the street. "She disappears just like you do, master," Seras said, turning to Alucard, only to find another outline. "ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! AM I ABANDONED ALL OF A SUDDEN?!" Silence, and another tumbleweed, in which Seras crushed with her foot. "That is a running gag that I do not want here," Seras said darkly. She then saw a trail of rose petals, and Seras pulled out a pair of orange sunglasses.
"Well, someone must have hit the Staples button, because…" she pauses to put them on. "That was Easy." She then starts running in the direction of the roses, not wanting to think about the pun that she just did.
Another short chapter, but it also adds suspense as to what happens next. Read and Review, as usual.
