When Heinkel had finally managed to stop laughing he walked forward a few paces and saw a very strange black mist spinning in a circle at the end of the tunnel. This after about five seconds began to solidify and three beams of a pale red light shot out from it going straight into the ceiling. A horrible scream echoed along the tunnels as the mists dissipated. A forty year old woman with red eyes and pitch black hair was standing directly in the middle of where the mists used to be. Heinkel shined his flashlight which was on top of his gun at the woman. Her skin he noticed was a pale color with a very slight bluish tinge to it. Her clothes were simply a dark robe and around her neck was a strange necklace of teeth. They were quite literally in the shape of daggers. Inverted black crucifixes were etched into each one.
She smiled. "What do we have hear eh? Another priest come to challenge us with the might of God? HA! That didn't work so well for you the last time you tried that."
Heinkel approached her and sheathed his Guns. This battle would be personnel and he knew that weapons forged by man would not quite work here.
The sorceress walked forward her black robe just barely gliding off the floor. "Why so silent. Aren't your kind normally loud and spouting out some filthy prayer."
Heinkel pulled out a book it adorned with beads all around its edges and a silver cross placed on the front in the center. There was also a silver triangle surrounding it and around that was a golden circle.
The witch looked at the book and smirked. "So this it eh? Hn so this the Vatican's ace in the hole eh? This is the book which contains the secrets of the universe that which is supposed to be able to counter any evil save any soul eh? The very same book which is said to enable you to be as close to God himself as if he were standing next to you. Heheh. Let's just put this ultimate weapon to the test. She smiled grossly and it could be seen that her gums were black and rotted."
He ignored her and did not even wonder if she was talking to him or herself. He was concentrating on prayer.
Heinkel spoke in a solemn and stoic voice that echoed throughout the hallway. "The circle is ever lasting. It has no end and no beginning the symbol of God's existence. The triangle has three points all connected to one. This is the symbol of the holy trinity of this world. The cross is of our lord and savior Christ our king. This symbol signifies how through his glorious sacrifice we have become part of God's glory."
As Heinkel spoke the darkness seemed to lessen. There was no light visible but every detail in the hallway could be seen by Heinkel.
The witch pulled out a tan skin colored book with blood red writing. On the back a face could clearly be seen. On its cover was an inverted pentagram that had many skulls and demonic faces circling around it. Each page contained an inverted crucifix with upside down numbers right next to it in the bottom left hand corner.
"As your power wanes I shall see you in pain! Come now let us fight in mine own plane!" She screeched into the hallway. Both the witch and Heinkel were now standing in a red land. Above them was a spiked roof and their feet were placed on a redish black stone that literally glowed with heat.
Heinkel however was undaunted. "So far you have done nothing which. Your pathetic illusions and pathetic spells have yet to lay a hand on me."
The witch merely laughed and responded."It is not you that I wish to affect. Well. Not yet at least." Then pointing to the floor in between them she said. "Through this eye you shall see no lie. But even those up in heaven so high shall weep to see how your friends die." She then proceeded to pull out the eyeball of an un baptized child and throw it onto the floor where she had been pointing.
The floor burst into flames and Sister Red could be seen through it. Surrounded by a group of at least nine vampires.
Red had traveled for only a couple of minutes before she ran into a group of vampires. She knew they would be in this area as she had been staking it out for a couple of days and saw that many vampires came in and out through these tunnels.
So she was prepared for their attack. She firstly pulled out her silver/steel whip and entangled one of the monsters that saw her. She pulled on the whip and as the vampire fell forward she reversed her grip and swing the sickle end of the whip forward. The vampires head was almost surgically removed from its shoulders. AS it rolled towards the group of living vampires it left a trail of blood that led into the shadows. Out from the shadows came not a ten foot tall monster as they expected but a simple girl.
They snarled at her and reached for their weapons. They did not get far. Another of the vampires was entangled in her whip he fell to the floor. Just as the group turned around to impale the Iscariot member they felt a force of burning holy silver melted down from blesses objects that had been forged in the Vatican itself and had explosive tips added to them. Three of them fell to the onslaught of her dual oozies in a matter of seconds which fired straight through them and gave a nice view of their charred and burning organs to their comrades behind them as they spilled to the floor.
The vampires stopped in their tracks for only a moment and then as they regained their thoughts they were hit again by amazingly fast strikes. One of them had just had their stomach ripped open by a tanto( a dagger version of a katana.) Then as their intestines were ripped into four pieces there leg was severed. The screams of his agony served only to enrage the others as they were finally able to reach her with their weapons. One of them swung his rifle holding onto the barrel trying to strike with the butt of the gun. Another fired of some shots from a pistol while the other simply pulled out a knife and waited.
Red swung her head backwards laughing maniacally into the dark hallways which where only illuminated by the lantern which hung on her belt.
"AhAHAHAHA!" She screamed out as she grabbed hold of the rifle and was thrown behind the vampire. She then proceeded to as happy as could be rip through the vampires chest with her tantoes.
The bullets sailed harmlessly into the wall and the surviving vampires whom could move charged after Sister Red as fast as they could. They once again did not go far. They fired off their guns but sister Red flipped the dead vampires body in front of herself and that acted as a slight shield. None of the bullets luckily found their mark and before they could get off more Father Lighterman appeared behind them.
Their heads were no longer recognizable as his two extremely large pistols blew through them. Then He smashed both guns together and crushed the vampire in the middle of the two corpses. Half of his face was lifted above the other half as that part was smashed downward into throat thus making it look somewhat like he had his mouth open.
Father Lighterman then pulled on the bottom part of his cross necklace which split into a blade and then decapitated the vampire with a grin on his face.
"Why didn't you just shoot them all Red?" He asked happily.
"Pfft. That's no fun at all and you know it." She said as well happy at their recent findings. Father Lighterman looked behind him. He saw three fangs attempting to surprise them. He smiled.
"It's ok Jack you go ahead. I'll have some fun with our little friend over there." Red said as she pointed towards the tangled up vampire who was now sobbing uncontrollably.
"Gladly." He said as he raced down into the hallway. He carried no lantern or light source of any sort. For he did not need one.
Sister Red turned towards the vampire and with every step her smile grew. The vampire heard this and soiled himself.
He looked up sniveling and trying to break out of the 30% percent silver chains which were causing him much pain.
"WHAT DO YOU WANT!" He screamed as she pulled out a gun put it inches away from his face.
"Haha. Hahaha. AHAHAHA! To see you die of course!" He screamed as she pulled the trigger. Only a liquid shot out and before he register the fact that he didn't die he saw Sister Red pull out a lighter.
"N-!" His pleading was cut off as Sister Red set him on fire. It was replaced by ear piercing shrieks that she considered music to her ears. She in fact laughed hysterically and even danced a little as she watched him burn.
Father Lighterman surprised the vampires a little when one of them was shot three times from about 400 feet away. He dropped dead to the floor almost as soon as the next vampire lost a limb or three. Finally the third vampire which tried to run was killed as well. Before he fell he split into four different parts if looked at in the right moment of time the blood that sprayed from his severed corpse formed a cross for about two seconds in the air.
Father Lighterman smiled as he looked down the barrel of his bolt action repeating rifle.
Father Remington traveled down the hallway unkown and unseen. He could not see in the dark like Father Lighterman could but he could see a light up ahead and had switched off his lantern.
He approached the room with caution. He unlike his companions did not strike outright when he saw a group of vampires. He took time to pull out a grenade and then throw it.
It exploded with as much force as Heinkels did only Father Remington did not stop to enjoy their misery. But he did enjoy walking on their dying bodies as he passed them.
Finally he entered into a circular room where a single twenty or so year old woman stood brandishing a curved black dagger covered in red liquid.
She looked up from the human body she had been working on and smiled "Well well. Looks like someone wants to go round to. AHAHA!" She raised her hands in the air and gave out a terrible shriek as she forced a black stone to go into a severed heart. Then Before anyone could react the man she had been cutting up awoke grabbed his heart and placed it back into his chest.
Father Remington spat on the ground. "Disgusting. Unluckily for you witch I've learned a few things about you since I last saw your kind."
"Oh yes that's right! Since the last time we cut one of you into pieces AHAHAHA So now let me guess you want revenge AHAHA!" She was obviously insane and every time she laughed she swung her knife around either knocked over some sort of witchish object or sliced open one of the dead bodies she had been working on.
As she swung her blade the room got dark and everything slow. Father Remington's heart beat faster. Sweat appeared from his brow he knew what this meant. Skeletons hands reach up to grab him. He saw nothing else but darkness. Words were harshly being whispered. Soul…..Soul…. Give it us…,..WE NEED ITS WARMTH! WE WANT IT! The whispers developed into unholy screams. He felt the hands he felt the cold of their evils grasp his very existence. Images him worshipng Satin Taunted him. Him slaughtering children him drinking their BLOOD! He was on fire. He was in hell he saw the loss of God the filth of the world. The evils and he was apart of it!
He screamed and grabbed his face. "NOOOOOOOO NEVER!" He ripped away from this dreaded sorcery and called out a prayer.
"SAINT MICHEAL THE ARCH ANGEL DEFEND US IN BATTLE (He blew apart two charging vampires.) AHAHAHAHAHA! BE OOOUR PROTECTION AGAINST THE WIKEDNESS AND SNARES OF THE DEVIL! (He pulled out a crucifix made of silver that expanded to be four feet in length.) MAY GOD REBUKE HIM!(He burned through a vampires mid section in swipe then stepping forward he switched his grip and stabbed through the chest of another vampire with the sharpened end.) WE HUMBLY PRAY AND DO THO OH PRINCE OF THE HEAVENLY HOST!( The vampires stopped as Father Remington pulled out a small ball which exploded into a gaseous form. They screamed in agony at the holy steam and Father Remington could not be seen However his voice echoed everywhere within the room.) THAT BY THE POWER OF GOOOOOOOOOOOOO(GOD drawn out)D!"(He struck twice more and two more vampires fell to him.) (CAST INTO HEEELLLLL SATAN AND ALL EVIL SPIRITS WHO PROWL ABOUT THE WORLD FOR THE RUIN OF SOULS!" (He plunged his weapon into the back of a startled witch who as she say her world crumble around her could do nothing but stare in horror.)
He left the room shaking and laughing. He made the sign of the cross on him and sat down for a second glad to still be faithful to his Lord.
Heinkel watched in horror as he saw his friends die. Over. And over and over again. Their bones broke and snapped they were sucked dry and eaten whole. Their screams were uncountable. They had been burned stabbed and beaten to death more times than they could count. Finally after what felt like at least two weeks Their souls were dragged into the pits of hell by pitch forks. Then the torture began. Only worse and more evil. They were tortured like this for another week until he caught sight of Alexander Anderson and Yumi. This Went on for a year.
Then. A light. "A light." The first non screams Heinkel had uttered in over a year. Christ the king has saved you and your friends. Do you truly believe that this could happen to your friends?"
Heinkel looked towards the light and answered honestly. "I Have never believed such a thing."
Heinkel knew that he had pleased the light. "This is good. Now for your loyalties. Would you like to come with me? "
"Of course. Thank you." He said. He was alive and he saw the witch in the tunnel. She was laughing to herself and then Heinkel smiled. He moved Forward.
She stared in awe at him.
"WHAT! HOW DID YOU SURVIVE! THAT WAS THE MOST POWERFUL SPELL TO HAVE EVER BEEN CAST BY ANY SORCERESS TO HAVE EVER LIVED!"
Heinkel smiled. "I know." He pulled out his gun and said. "Which also means you have no shields left."
She was enraged! What on EARTH could have been in that book!" She screeched.
Heinkel held up the book. Everything you described. He flipped it open to the first page. Then let every page slowly fall to the next. On the first page was the word FAITH. On the Second page was the Word FAITH. It repeated that process all the way to the end of the book. On the last page was written the same exact thing. FAITH. It took up every page and was printed in golden glorious letters.
The Witch Looked at the book not believing what she was seeing. Then she died. Her body become less physical and started to disappear as her skin become translucent it also turned to ashes. She screamed.
The words in a horrible terror of a voice echoed throughout the Sewers. "YOU HAVE FAILED ME!"
Heinkel smiled and began to walk the other way towards the exit. There was much work that needed to be done. There were still sorcerers on the loose.
