Hello everybody, here is the redux of Chapter three (Chapter two storywise). As always, i don't own anything from Bloodrayne except the OCs. SO from here on out, the next chapters to come will be entirely of my design, so sit back, relax and enjoy the story.

Chapter 2

The Swamp Monsters

Rayne and Lucas continue to run across the telephone line towards the graveyard where the first confirmed bio mass was reported. "So this bio mass, what do you think we should be looking for?" Asked Rayne.

"You mean aside from all these rotting undead flesh addicts? Something that definitely sticks out like a sore thumb."

"Oh yeah that definitely helps Constable." Rayne responded sarcastically

"Hey you know what-"

"Shut up, were here."

And sure enough, right in front of them was a speck of land that was loaded with tombstones. If that wasn't a giveaway, there was also an archway entrance with the word cemetery on it. Sure enough, the twins arrived at the cemetery where the bio mass is located. Inside the cemetery, a few mutates could be seen roaming the grounds, some of them were even wielding firearms. "Well, looks like we'll have to entertain some people before getting to the bio mass."

"Well, let's not keep them waiting." They readied their weapons and jumped from the phone line onto the cemetery grounds. The mutates noticed their presence and limped towards them to attack them. Rayne was killing the mutates with her trench gun and remaining double barrel shotguns she didn't disard while Lucas was killing his portion of mutates with the revolvers, shooting each of the mutates in front of him in their heads with deadly marksmanship. When they ran out of ammo, they discarded their weapons and proceeded to slice the remaining mutates apart. Once the undead creatures were dealt with, they continued further into the graveyard, only to stop when nearly half of the area was submerged in water. The twins knew that touching the water would harm them greatly. "Well great, any ideas Rayne?"

"Looks like if we want to go any further, we'll have to hop across using the tombstones." Rayne answered her brother.

"I guess that's our only option at this point. Hey, what's that?" He asked activating his aura vision.

"What's what?"

"There, inside that chapel." Lucas pointed at the chapel. Rayne activated her own aura vision and did indeed notice that there was something moving inside. "Let's go check it out." They deactivated their aura vision and proceed to the nearest tombstone and jumped on it. They then started hopping from one tombstone to the next, being careful not to touch the water. Thanks to their half vampire lineage, their jumping capabilities were increased far beyond a human's. Once they were in range of the chapel, they noticed it had a huge hole in the wall big enough for them to jump through. Once inside, they were treated to a rather interesting surprise.

The mysterious entities were four large man-sized spider creatures, each possessing four long limbs attached to small bodies, no visible eyes and jaws surrounded by tentacles. Their bodies were all yellow in color.

The creatures hissed at the twins before dismounting from the wall they were on. Rayne and Lucas were rather disgusted at the sight of the creatures since they hated insects of all shapes and sizes. These ones however, definitely went into their book as extremely disgusting insects that they wanted nothing more than to stomp with the bottom of a steel toed boot. "What the hell are these things?" Wondered Lucas.

"You think these could be the bio masses?"

"Well if they are, you know what that means." Rayne and Lucas gained sadistic smiles on there faces and readied their blades to kill these creatures. They all charged at each other, but the twins quickly made short work of them by dismembering their legs, causing these spider creatures to screech in agony. "Well, that was easier than I thought." Rayne said out loud watching the creatures writhe in pain. "Yeah, talk about major disappointment. I was expecting more of a challenge." Responded Lucas.

"Whatever, lets get the hell out of here."

"Right behind you."

The twins went to exit the chapel when they heard a noise coming from their fallen prey. When they turned around, they were distraught to see that the spiders were regenerating their lost limbs. Once their limbs were restored, they faced the twins and once again hissed at them. "Well, that's definitely not good. Any ideas?"

"I got one." One of the creatures lunged for Lucas, who dodged the attack and dismembered the legs again, only this time he also stabbed it in the dead before beheading it. His sister followed his example and the remaining three spiders met with the same fate as their companion. "That was pretty smart actually." Rayne complimented her brother. "Yes well, when all else fails, aim for the head." Lucas replied as he swiped his sword, in the process, any blood that was on the blade flew right off the blade. With the blood of his sword, he placed it back in the scabbard.

With the creatures dealt with, the twins exited the chapel and proceeded to the other side of the graveyard. Along the way, more of the spider creatures and mutates began popping up from the water as well as the graves to hinder their progress , but like all before them, they fell to the Baudelaires. Once they reached the end of the graveyard, they noticed what looked like a large mound of flesh protruding from the ground. What's more, is that those spider creatures were popping out of it. Rayne then had a theory. "The bio mass, it's a nest." The spider creatures they have been encountering since they entered the graveyard can be seen spewing out of the bio mass.

"Well that would certainly explain where these ugly things are coming from. One thing is for sure, that thing has to go if we want to stop these ugly bastards."

"Right, you deal with the spiders, I'll get the nest."

"Alright, plus I think it's time we try out that new ability we got." Lucas said getting a nod from his sister. What Lucas was talking about was their blood rage. Blood rage temporarily enhances their strength and speed, making far deadlier than they are now, the drawback is they become so consumed by their blood lust, they cannot block. They closed their eyes and concentrated. When they opened their eyes, their irises were blood red and their pupils became slitted, they even bared their fangs and let out a demonic screech to show they weren't playing around, the world around them being enveloped in red. By this time, about fifteen of the spiders creatures had emerged from the nest. They ran towards the twins, letting out screeches of their own. Rayne jumped over the creatures and ran towards the nest. Lucas stood his ground and prepared his sword, once they were in range, he unsheathed his sword and started slicing and dicing the spiders.

While this was going on, Rayne landed in front of the nest, sporting a sadistic smile. She performed slicing techniques and lethal acrobatic kicks of her own on the nest. Rayne made quick work of the nest, easily destroying it without breaking a sweat. Her blood lust still not satisfied yet, even with it's destruction, she looked behind her and noticed there were still a few spiders left so she jumped right in to help her brother. Dismembering and beheading the remaining spiders, the twins let out a deep breath and calmed down, their eyes returning to their former light blue color. "Well, that is what I call a workout, wouldn't you agree Rayne?" Lucas asked his sister.

"No doubt, at least this provided more entertainment than what we encountered back at that chapel."

Clap...clap...clap...clap...clap.

The they heard faint clapping. They looked around and then up at the top of the wall to see their mentor, Mynce, applauding their performance with a slight smile on her face.

"Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant. Well done you two. I expected nothing less from my prized students." Mynce praised her pupils, causing Lucas to blush once again, this time going unnoticed by Rayne.

"You know you could have jumped in and helped." Said Rayne

"And let you two miss out on the learning experience? I don't think so." Mynce replied to her. She then looked towards the dead spider creatures that littered the burial grounds. "Strange creatures, aren't they?"

"Strange isn't the first word to come to mind." Replied Rayne as both twins approached the mausoleum.

"Took the words right out of my mouth. Any idea what they are Mynce?" Replied Lucas.

Mynce then jumped off the high wall and onto the roof of the mausoleum in front of the twins. "I'm not sure, but it seems they carry a disease that causes mutations in humans."

"The Mutates." Lucas said wide eyed at the realization.

"Right, and remember those sludge mounds we've been finding everywhere?" Mynce asked as she jumped off the roof and right in front of Rayne and Lucas.

"Please tell me they aren't what I think they are." Lucas asked his their teacher with a hopeful tone.

"I wish I could Lucas. The sludge mounds were indeed human. What's left of them anyway. The spider creatures regurgitate what they eat." Mynce responded, causing the twins to gag, almost to the point of vomiting. "I was afraid you were going to say that."

"Like I said, strange doesn't begin to cover it."

"Hello? Hello? Is somebody dere?"

The twins and their teacher heard a new voice coming from the mausoleum. They walked to the door and knocked on it. "Open up." Mynce demanded.

"Are the Maraisreq gone?" The voice asked.

"Is what gone?"

"The Maraisreq. 'Swamp monster.' That's what the Creole called them."

"Are dey gone?"

"Yes, they're gone sir. Now open the door." Lucas answered the man's question.

The man the voice belonged to complied and opened the door. The man was revealed to be in his early to mid thirties with black hair and brown eyes and sporting a goatee. He was wearing a white tanktop shirt with black pants. His clothes appeared to be covered in stains. Whether it was dirt or blood was anyone's guess.

The man then backed up in fear and put his hands in front of him as if to protect himself from his 'rescuers'. "Mon Dieu, les diables!" (My god, the devils.) He said in sheer horror, causing the three Dhampirs to scowl at the man. They could tell the man was scared halfway out of his mind, but after they killed the monsters and destroyed their nest they spawned from, they half expected a little bit of gratitude, not to be called devils.

"Nice welcome for the rescue team. Who are you?"

"I'm Jean Sigmon. I'm dee grave digger." The man now known as Jean identified himself, calming down in the process.

"What the hell happened here?" Asked Rayne.

"I don' know. I hid in 'ere when those tings came. Dey can't get in without dem holes." Jean responded to the question.

"Alright, Jean you stay put. This place is obviously safe. We'll bring other survivors here." Mynce said to the grave digger.

"We not leaving?"

"Not yet. You'll be safe here for a while longer."

"Okay, okay. Send dem here to Famille Termaine mausoleum and we wait." Jean reluctantly agreed with the older Dhampir and shut and locked the door.

"Well, like I said, it would seem they built this wall for nothing." Rayne said getting a nod from Lucas.

"Maybe. Or maybe this time around things got worse. These creatures are very insect-like. Seems every thirty years they swarm." Mynce replied. "In any event, if you two find anyone healthy and alive, send them here. But don't forget about the nests."

The twins just shrugged at her response. This may have been their first mission but they certainly weren't greenhorns to forget their primary objective. "Don't worry Mynce, we haven't forgotten why we came here. We'll get the job done." Lucas said reassuringly to their teacher.

"Come on, give us a little more credit than that Mynce, we may be new here, but we're not complete amateurs."

"I know you are not. Like I said I have nothing but the utmost faith in you two. I know you will destroy those nests and save any innocent you come across. Make me proud, both of you." Their teacher said to her students with confidence in her voice while placing her hands on their shoulders. In turn causing the twins to smile back at her. "Before you two go, I have some things for you." She then pulled out a piece of parchment and what looked like two cylindrical containers with points sticking out of the top and a circular housing in the back (for a better description, think of the line launchers in Assassins Creed: Syndicate). "They are essentially harpoons. They help with feeding and have a decent range." Their mentor said as the twins took the launchers and equipped them on their arms. "Thanks."

"The parchment is a map I made of the area. The marked areas are approximate locations of the nests. The reports weren't exact, so you two will have to search the area thoroughly. Once you are both back we'll head over the wall. There must be some type of source of the all the creatures come from." Mynce explained and handed it to Lucas. "Alright, you two get going and deal with those nests."

"What about you Mynce?"

"I'll stay here and protect the mausoleum and any survivors you two find. Alright, you two have your assignment. Good luck to you both." The twins nodded their heads and headed out to the first area on the map to destroy the spider nests.

And cut. Next chapter, the twins are not only playing exterminators getting rid of the swamp monsters and their nests, but now they also have to play rescuer to any and all survivors who weren't affected by the disease. I wonder how this will turn out. Find out on The Dhamphir Twins Chapter 3: The Rescue Team. See you next time.
