2 years pass
"Block higher!" I yell and receive a nod from Eryk, who is busy training the new recruits. Another hour of training passes. "You all have served the Ghouls for a year now." Eryk says to the rookies that passed the first year of training. "Now it's time to make a choice that will affect your life. Do you wish to stay with the Ghouls or leave and live your lives free of this group." Eryk says then points at me. "We have trained you and we will continue to train you if you choose to stay but know that if you do stay there will be attempts on your life." Eryk says then waits a minute. Out of the 50 rookies that passed the year of training more than 30 left. I look over the crowd. "You 15 who stayed will now be moved to the veterans building and face a ceremony tomorrow. Be ready for anything." I say. After all the new recruits leave. I turn to Eryk to see him talking with the leader of the Ghouls. He is a 5'5" man with white hair and is never seen without a mask that covers most of his face. "... they will try to attack again. It's only a matter of time." The leader says. "Send Nick, he seems to be able to handle himself in public and Ken if they attack I want to be notified immediately." Ken nodded and walked away. "What was that about?" I ask as I hug Eryk. "The usual. They still think they own this city." He says with a smile. "Those damn Ravens will not give up will they?" I say referring to the syndicate named Deaths Ravens, one of the most feared and hated in this area. "Yeah, they really don't like the Ghouls being here but enough of that did you notice something was off with one of the newbies?" He asks as he gives me a quick kiss. "The one who seemed to be watching everyone in the veteran group with interest? He could be the spy we heard about from Nick?" I ask. "No he seemed to be after info on the graduation, not how we train." I look over his shoulder to see smoke coming from the direction of the college. Then Ken runs to us and says, "Problem." Eryk teleports us three to the college where the students run to us. "They are back, help us!" Eryk looks over their shoulders to see a smoking crater in the ground. "What happened?" He asks. "They attacked with rockets!" "Rockets? Where in the hell did they get rockets... " Eryk is cut off as we turn to see a rocket heading for us. He quickly teleports us to the cafeteria where a bunch of students look in horror at us, but when they realize who we are, smile a bit. "Where are they shooting from?" Eryk asks. "Outside in the courtyard." The student's answer and I look over to see smoke covering the entire yard. "All of you stay here, that includes you and Ken." Eryk says and disappears. Then calls me a few seconds later. "Easiest way to do this. Put me on speaker and tell me where they are." "Fine but never do that to me again." I say and he laughs. I see him walking into the smoke and I hear explosions rocket the field. "What was that?" I ask. "Mines, and lots of them." He answers. "Can you last against them?" "If I had a tank yes." He says. "Your sarcasm is appreciated." I say. "FUCK!" He yells as I see him jump out of the smoke. "What now?" I say. "They have a tank." "You must be joking." I say as I see a tank roll out of the smoke. "No words." I say. "So you are the Crimson Satan, don't try to deny that fact only you would be able to dodge a rocket." A voice from the tank says. "So what if I am?" Eryk asks. "You will surrender to me and Deaths Ravens and disband the Ghouls. If not I will fire a shell at your location and at the school." Eryk laughs and says, "You really need to hear yourself. I will not surrender and you will not bomb that school." The voice laughs. "Ow well I tried." I saw a shell exploded on Eryks position. The tank's hatch opened and a man climbed out. "Looks like I win." He walks towards the smoke as if to lift the body out of it, but an armored hand that reminded me of a claw shot out and the smoke cleared to reveal Eryk fully armored out, not scratched. "You win? For you to do that you would need to kill me." Eryk says with a laugh. The man pales as he realizes Eryk is alive. "How? That was a high explosive shell designed to destroy tanks. HOW ARE YOU ALIVE?!" I hear the man scream. "I am not a tank and I am in armor so hard that tanks look like tin cans."
"Nothing is that strong." He says. "You wanna bet your life on it?" I ask. He punched me harder and faster than any human should of been able to. "So you are not human as well. Tell me what species are you?" I say. "Like I would tell you, ja wee speken bastard." I tighten my grip and he stops resisting. "So, a bad british accent and a light hearted voice, you're a vampire." I say. I teleport him to Las Vegas. I walk into a fat hooker on the street and toss the vampire to him saying, "Give him the most wonderful night you can. He needs to learn all the basics of the trade if he wants to succeed in life." He goes bug eyed as he stares at the muscular man. "Um… I think I'll pass that night might shatter my fragile heterosexuallyty." "Oh not to worry me boy. I know how to treat you with the proper 'respect' and 'training'." The hooker says as he-she pulls a whip from his pants. "Save me lord!" Yells the vampire as he runs away and the male hooker chasing him. I laugh and walk into a conveniently placed strip club. "Hey, there pretty boi. You wanna have some fun tonight?" I smile as she walks into a private room. "I'm taken." "Ah honey. If you came in here then she is off limits for the next few hours, which means you're mine." She says and spreads wings. "A low level demon in a strip club… a succubus I'm assuming." She laughs. "That would be even greater, stealing life force through sex. Unfortunately I do not have enough power to be a succubus, only a possessing spirit." She says and charges at me. I easily dodge her then jump back. "Honey, you're a bit too pushy for the first meeting. At least buy me dinner first." I say with a smile. "Dear, we need to talk about your manners. That's no way to treat a lady." She says and charges at me. I laugh and catch her by the throat. "I warned you. I was taken for a reason." "Mmm... Why are all the good looking ones taken already." She says as she tries to possess me. "What's this... This is the power equal to only the god rank demons! Who are you?" I laugh and say, "The host of Malphas, Lucifer and the Grim Reaper." She gasps. "I... I... I'm sorry my lord." I smile and release her. "Lucky you. I have a job for you." She stares at me with interest. "What can I do for you, my lord?" I smile. "I need you to…"
"Where did he go now?!" I scream at Ken. "GPS says he's in Las Vegas." Ken says. "Why the hell is he in Vegas?" I ask. "I don't know madame. I am only reading off the GPS." Ken says. I sigh and look around the room. All the first and second year students are looking shocked after seeing Eryk get shot at by a tank, surviving a head on explosion and disappearing with the man. The older students nod at us and try to calm the younger students. I turn to the window to see shadows forming on the ground. I look up to see Michael and Selaphiel flying towards us. They land and walk over to us. "What happened? I've been receiving a lot of calls from the police about an explosion." Michael, being the vice principal of the school, says with dismay. I point to the tank and he gasps. "I will kill Eryk for this. I said no tanks on my property." "Not his tank. Look at the symbol on the side. It's the Death Ravens not the Ghouls." Selaphiel says. "Ok, I'll punch him… You know what fuck it. Have the Ghouls' boss take it and refit it." Michael says and walks away. Selaphiel starts to follow but stops when she sees Ken, and is that a blush I see? "H… How are you Ken?" I hear her ask. "Quite fine, m'lady." Ken answers. She nods and rushes after Michael. I laugh a bit then turn to Ken saying, "You heard Loverboy get your boys to pick up the tank." He nods and quickly looks at the GPS and laughs a bit. "Looks like Eryk is paying his family a visit." I look over to see Eryk to be shown in Poland. "Strange. Normally he stays far away from his family. I mean we haven't seen him even mention them for nearly three years." Ken nods as I finish saying that. "Wonder when he is planning to come back to Transylvania." Ken says. Eryk disappears from Poland and appears in Romania. "That answers that question but where is he?" I ask. "Where would I be, m'lady?" Eryk says in a sarcastic voice. "I could slap you for that." I say and he smiles. He turns to Ken. "I have good news, bad news and terrible news." "Good news first then the bad news, then lastly the terrible news." Ken says. Eryk smiles and says, "I found the identity of the leader of the Death Raven's, bad news is I have no idea how to get that tank to my mansion, and the terrible news is..." He turns to me. "My entire family, not just Oscar and Patryk are coming to visit us for 6 months." "Eryk…" I say. "Yes?" "Catch me as I pass out." I say then black out.
"How does this not surprise me?" Ken asks. "You understand how girls act or is it that you understand how she works?" I say. "Hahaha. Love the sarcasm but to answer your question. I've slept with a lot of French girls." Ken says with a smile. I blink twice then laugh. "That really does not surprise me Ken, but really? Why tell me this?" I ask. "I have no problems speaking about my past, unlike some people here." He says with an accusing look in his eyes. I shrug. "Why should I speak about the thirteenth century? Not much happened in those days." "Mhm…. Bullshit." Ken says and picks Silver off the floor. "Well… We have a tank to drive home." I say and teleport us into the tank. "My god. Vampires are kinky." Ken says as we look around the inside of the tank. "Well the Vegas vampire will be happy now... " I mutter to myself. "You say something?" Ken asks as he hands Silver to me. "No Ken. Just get us home in record time." I say and sit down in the corner as he drives the tank. "I already called the boys and they will have this tank repainted and fixed up by morning…" He looks at the tank. "and cleaned because damn." I laugh. Six minutes of silence follow that statement as he drives us home. "After the boys finish with the tank, have everyone assemble in the backyard and get me more tea." I say and get out the top of the tank with Silver in my arms. "Will do boss." Ken says and drives the tank to the veterans on standby. I teleport Silver to our room and let her sleep. I go into the kitchen to find Michael and Selaphiel waiting for me. "Can you tell me why a tank attacked my college?" Michael asks as I walk past him and get a tea bag. "You will be more surprised by who is sending the tanks not why the tanks are there." I say. "Really? Who is sending them?" Selaphiel asks. "Ever heard the old legend of Transylvania? The one about a count?" I ask. Michael nods but Selaphiel frowns "No, who is the count?" I look at Michael and say, "You really should teach her some history. Hell, send her over here every Wednesday I'll teach her." I say then turn back to Selaphiel and remove my shirt so she can see the chant on my chest. "He is one of the most notorious and famous vampires to be born, in the 1800's but active since 1922. Count Dracula is the leader of the Death Ravens." I say. Michael laughs at Selaphiel expression as she tries to figure out if I'm lying or not. "I think that this is a lot more interesting than why the tanks were there. I also know that Silver knows Selaphiel weakness now." "Oh, is that so?" I say with a smile. "I should of not spoken, but please keep Ken safe. The last one who broke her heart…" He doesn't have to finish. I know I have the reaper inside me. "I know what happened Lover boy. Remember I have Grim for info about death." He nods and walks away. Now how do I tell them about my family visiting. I think to myself as I walk away from the kitchen with my tea. "... You really think you won't be caught?" I hear a voice asked. I stop mid step and listen in to this conversation. "I won't be caught. I had a great teacher and that demon is no match for me. I am an alpha vampire unlike the beta he fought." A second voice that sounds like a rookie I trained. "You're sure you're a match for him? He is called the Crimson Satan for a reason." Said the voice. "He is a weakling. I could take him any time, any day." I round the corner to see two guys with their backs to me. I walk up behind them and say, "There is a reason even Dracula keeps his distance from me, alpha." He turns to see me standing there with a smile on my face. "I don't know what you are talking about." I grab him by the neck and say, "What was that you said it sounded like 'I could take him any time, any day." He grimaced and asked, "How much did you hear?" I stab him through the heart with a knife and say, "Enough to pinpoint you as a traitor to the Ghouls." He laughs and kicks me away. "A trick like that won't work on me. Let's see if it works on you!" He yells then throws the knife at my chest and it pierces through my heart. "I said any time, any day and now you are dead." He says and turns away to see Lucifer pointing at me saying, "I would not turn my back on any enemy, especially if it's him." He turns back to me but not before I manage to punch him into a training field where all the rookies are. "I will not be beaten by you." He screams and black armor appears on him with a cloak of material that looks like bat wings. "I'm so scared. You have a little more metal for me to bend." I say and summon my armor. "That is masterfully crafted armor. Knight but tell me how do you take on a Count?" I hear a voice say from the shadows. "An honor to meet you Dracula and to answer your question with a fair duel." I say as he steps out of the shadows, pitch black armor gleaming and a long sword strapped on his belt. "Ah but can you give me a fair fight demon? I am equal to a lot of angels and demons." Lucifer, Malphas, Asmodeus, Grim, Ragnarok, Michael and Selaphiel walk behind me. "Combined they equal my skill, so I ask you the same question. Can you match this knight?" He laughs as hundreds of vampires descend behind him. "Call all of your troops. They will all die." Dracula says. Behind me the Ghouls walk towards us. Their inhuman power showing in forms of energy floating behind them. "Dracula, are you sure you wanna endanger that many vampires? You are not the only blood drinkers here. Those nice individuals tend to like to eat flesh." I say as I draw my blade. "Demons are no exception. I hunger for blood of my enemies." Dracula laughs and says, "Let's show them how two god level beings fight, shall we?" He says and grows gigantic bat wings and flies up a hundred meters. "You are out of luck, nobody can fly." The alpha says with a laugh. "You are at a disadvantage. If Dracula controls the skies you are helpless…" He is cut off by me spreading my wings and hovering at equal height as Dracula. "I am impressed that a mortal body can withstand such strain. Quite marvelous really." He says. "I must say humans devolved in loyalty and durability, look at the Ghouls for example, they share some of the old blood. If you look at a mortal, they are so fragile not one rookie would last a week in the job I had in the thirteenth century." I say and he nods. "A shame really. If all the people back then were like you, knight I am surprised how we fell from grace." I nod. "Tell me Count. Why do you prey on humans?" I ask. "I prey on the weak, so that others can learn from their mistakes." I laugh. "The one thing that humans do not do is learn from their mistakes." I say and charge at the count who charged as well.
I was walking next to Ken when Eryk and a vampire took flight. "Who do you think that is?" I ask Ken as we fight off some of the low ranking vampires that charged us. He looks at the vampire and says, "It's either Dracula's second in command or the Count himself." "Dracula? I thought vampires died in sunlight!" Yelled one of the rookies. "Who taught you that crap? Forget what you learned as a mortal. You are a Ghoul. Learn as you fight, get stronger and crush those who attack you." Ken screamed. "Your new recruits seem to be holding out quite well." Noted a vampire in black armor standing on the ground. "And who might you be, sir?" Ken and I ask. "I am the alpha. Your opponent." I look at Ken as he steps forward. "I will be your opponent." Ken says. "I think it would be better to send the demon in not the mortal." The vampire says and looks at me. "I always wondered how a bitch can fight." My anger explodes as I summon my armor and hammer. "You fucking punk ass little wanker. I am nothing compared to those other bitches out there. Most of them could not even hold a damn sword in their hands." I say. "WANKER! You little, spoiled, in over your head bitch. I am not a little bitch, I am the alpha. I AM YOUR GOD! You will kneel before me or be punished by one of my most trusted servants. I'm sure he can teach you the proper way to treat a man." He says. "HAHAHA. Don't make me laugh. You are so much like him. I am not in over my head as you think I am. You think that your servant can teach me a lesson? That is funny. He couldn't even scratch me. Another thing you are no fucking god and you are definitely not my god. All you are is a filthy stuck up alpha vampire who does not even compare to top commanders here. If you think you can take me then fine but I can promise you one thing I will not hold back. I will rip you limb from limb, rip out your goddamn tongue, castrate you with a rusty spoon. Then if you still are not dead then I will personally skin your body to feed Ken and give the kishin your heart served on a silver platter. Then I might find someone who wouldn't mind having a nice and rich glass of vampire blood wine. After I am done with all that… Let's just say I am pretty sure the three hellhounds I have would love to crew on your bones and feast on your ground up body." I say as an evil look comes into my eyes with an evil and deadly smile that spreads across my face. "You have a tongue that would do a sailor proud." The vampire fighting Eryk calls down. "Focus Count. I'm not done with you." Eryk says and tackles the vampire away. "Anyway, YOU little bitch. You think that you can take me? I bet the devil would be scared of me. I AM EQUAL TO GOD…" Eryk flies over him with the vampire in a choke hold. "Even he would fear me. I am your lord. I am your master and I am your owner. You will bow to me and all my servants. You will be reduced to a bloody smudge on the ground if you cross me, Alexander the Alpha. No other vampire can come close to me!" Alexander screams."Yawn. You don't own me. I am not a slave or some 'bitch' as you call me to be messed with. If you think that he would fear you, you are so sadly mistaken. I know that for one you could not take on one of my greatest friends and strongest allies that is sealed inside of him. Before you run your belittling gob again this friend of mine I mentioned is the 'Crimson Satan' Lucifer. You think you scare me then you know nothing. If you think I can not touch you then…" I say as I move swiftly and quickly behind Alexander. I whisper in his ear. "You little wanker are sadly mistaken. You may be an alpha vampire but I am second in command here and in Hell. I am not someone to trifle with when I am at my breaking point. Not even Eryk has seen me totally and utterly pissed off. If you think that what I told you I will do to you is me at my deadliest then you are so utterly and hopelessly wrong. I will be having you begging me to end your pathetic and miserable life. So I double hellhound dare you to call me a bitch again." I say with a calm chilling emotionless voice. Over our heads we hear a whistle. "She would really make a fine sl…" The vampire is cut off by Eryk kicking him into the ground and standing on his head. "I said focus for a reason Count… Ah nevermind. Also watch out Alpha, you are not as amazing as you think you are I put in a call for an old friend named Alucard to come here. Watch your back." He says then picks the Count up and punts him away. He looks at me and winks, and flies away. "Alucard? Why should I fear him? I AM A GOD. I am a master of the darkness…" He looks at me. "I am your new master. You will bow to me or face the full wrath of a vampire." Behind him a giant explosion happens and the Count and Eryk fly over our heads again. "I will never bow to a pathetic vampire, especially since I hate them so much that death is a warm welcome to me and is something I welcome with open arms all the time. You are not a master of darkness. You are not even close to becoming a disciple of darkness. It's spoiled little wankers like yourself that annoy me to no end. To me or anyone else here you are not a god. You are just some poor little sap who probably went and got himself bitten because people didn't fear you or give a shit about you. Believing that some measly vampire bite would make people do what you want to then sorry wanker but that is not how the world works. You think your life as a human was hell just wait until I am through with you because I am so fucking tired and done with your damn fucking wanker of a gob saying you are some god and yatta yatta when you are nothing. You may hold a little power but it means nothing when all you do is flaunt it to everyone but that whole story you try to pull about a god is one thing no one would believe. I mean seriously who would believe that a so called 'alpha' vampire is a god especially since he works under the head honcho of all vampires. You are nothing and I would advise you to shut your mouth before you end up as wine and food for kishin and my top three hellhounds." I say and walk back towards Ken. "Ah I am pleased that you would feed his heart to me, but I'm sure that others would like a piece of him as well." Says a voice from behind me. I turn to face the kishin, a man who is literally glowing with madness. Eryk throws the count on the floor again. "Asura, why am I not surprised you would be here?" Eryk says and I notice that his armor has red souls flowing from his shoulders around his body. "Good to see your madness as well and I'm here showing a nice vampire hunter around. I believe you know him." Asura says with a smile. Eryk flies up with the Count but I hear him yell, "This could be interesting." Asura steps aside to let a man in a red trench coat pass. "So… This is the so called alpha. Pathetic excuse for one as it stands. If he is an alpha than all the betas could kill him. Why would any pure blooded vampire have the power of a half breed?" The man says in a deeply accented voice. Alexander takes a gun and shoots off most of Alucard's body parts. "I am not a half breed. I AM A GO…" He stops as Alucard turns into a swirling tornado of demons. They rebuild his body and he draws a beautiful black gun. "If you are a god then I am a low level vampire." Alucard says as he fires the gun and makes Alexander be pulled into his own chest before exploding outwards, showering everyone with blood while leaving the heart intact. Every vampire stops fighting to turn towards us and hiss. Eryk throws the Count down on the ground again and rips off his wing. "Good to see you Alucard, welcome to my home." Eryk says as he jumps back to avoid a decapitating blow from Dracula's sword. "Could've picked a better day to visit, but I love how you chose to call me when so many of my kind are following two idiots." Alucard says and I feel my jaw drop a bit. He is a vampire? I think to myself. "I take offence Alucard, my brother in blood." Dracula says. "We are not brothers. You can keep believing that lie but I know you are not one of my brothers." Alucard says and steps back to form a circle around Eryk and Dracula. Dracula charged at Eryk once again but Eryk caught him by the throat. "You know Count. I once respected you but now all I see is a weakling. I thought you would at least be able to give me a run for my money… Looks like I overestimated your abilities." Eryk says as he leaned forward. "You cannot defeat a demon by just brute strength but I applaud you for trying. For that you will live on as a phantom inside my body. All your abilities become mine while you can speak to me." Eryk says as he sinks his teeth into Counts throat and rips out his adam's apple. All the vampires back away as the count falls to the ground. "Any vampire that does not leave or drop their weapon will be killed and fed to the Ghouls." Eryk says and disappears.
