HELLSING MEETS DREAM X
Chapter 7: The servant of darkness Vs matt
As matt looked through the gap in the door he saw his partner chained to wall half naked he was in shock. "How's responsible for this?" he said angrily.
"Probably Meilin" said Maeve.
"Doubt it Meilin couldn't even set up lunch let alone a murder scheme" as matt searched for the keys Maeve had another idea. As she summoned up two fire fairies she burnt the door down so that matt didn't have to look for the keys. As she smiled at matt at her idea matt shook his head. "You can't burn everything down. One day you're gonna have to learn that your powers aren't your only weapons." He said giving her words of advice. As matt walked into the room he grabbed his kunai from his pocket thinking it was a trap and preparing for anything. As he approached to unlock her chains he looked at her and fell into despair. "Why?" he asked himself "why…do have these feelings for her when she could never love me. We're partners and she's in love Syaoron. I guess admiring from a far is the only thing I can do!" suddenly sakura started to stir. Matt was relieved that she was chained to the wall alive even though he didn't want her chained to the wall….not in a dungeon anyway. As she slowly opened her eyes she thought she was in heaven she saw a figure trying to set her free. She said weakly.
"Syaoron…is that you?"
"No, it's me matt. I've come to rescue you."
"Matt? Oh thank god you're here! I thought I never see you again."
"Don't worry we'll get you out!"
"We?" she questioned.
"Sure… Maeve!" he called. As Maeve walked in sakura started to feel a little jealous because she had thought that she was her replacement. As sakura eyes glared at Maeve evilly Maeve turned away to avoid eye contact with her. As matt unlocked her feet and arms he said to both of them. As a cold wind blew through the bars sakura shivered her uniform was full of holes…or what was left of it. As matt took off his Dream x coat he put it on sakura and he said kindly.
"Here sakura…you can wear mine until we get out of here." A small tear swelled up in sakuras eye. As matt looked at the tear he quickly said.
"Okay let's get to Madison and bail out." As sakura smoothed her chafed writs she said.
"You brought Madison as well! You should've come alone!"
"Madison wanted to come and save you!"
"You don't understand! It's…HIM!"
"You don't mean…"
"I do…he's alive!" as matt headed upstairs to rescue Madison before it was too late sakura grabbed Maeve. "Don't you get any ideas about me and matt alright if you want to date him that's fine" said sakura defensively.
"Calm down…why you so defensive all of a sudden?"
"Im not defensive im just…..looking out for matt, that's all, anyway stay off him!"
"Listen, honey. He is from a different organization and I was just a co-worker looking for you and since this mission of rescuing you is over, so is this conversation." she said as she stromed off. As Maeve and sakura hurried upstairs to find matt they just reached the top when they knew something was wrong there was no music or any Goths nothing but… pools of blood!
"What the hell happened here?" matt shouted. "Madison? Madison where are you!" he shouted concerned about Madison. Suddenly a smile from the darkness appeared and out stepped Meilin.
"So the prince has awoken the princess from her dungeon only to be caught by the beautiful wicked witch." Said Meilin reciting her own version from sleeping beauty.
"You got one part right…but im not going to tell you which!" said matt mocking Meilin. "Why don't you call out the master I think he remembers me from back in the day."
"To see the master you'll have to defeat me."
"That shouldn't be a problem." Said matt confidently.
"Shut up!" she said as she charged at him. As matt prepared for impact Meilin gave him a flying kick which sent matt flying back a few feet not as far as she hoped. Matt smiled.
"That's one way to travel for free but I thought with your ability I would have ended at least on the other side of the room." He said mocking her. "Just go's to show you evil and darkness does weigh you down and effects your abilities."
"You don't know what you're talking about. I'll show you what evil and darkness REALLY does!" She said as she attacked him with furious blows. Matt blocked every single blow that came flying at him. As she began to tire out from using too much energy to try and beat matt was trying to think of an idea of how to beat him. Then without warming matt sent her flying by reversing her last punch. As she was thrown into one of the twelve columns surrounding the dance floor the impact was strong enough to cause a small crater in it. "How?" she asked herself "How is so strong and im so weak" she couldn't move to tired to do anything but sit there.
"Give up yet!" called out matt.
"I would if I were…" said sakura but before she could finish someone knocked out from behind. As Maeve turned round a boot to her face sent her soaring into a wall. As matt turned round to see what the commotion was Meilin gave him a kick in the head which sent him through the air to sakuras unconscious body. As matt he struggled to get up he wiped the blood from his mouth and said to himself. "How did she recover so quickly." As Meilin jumped back she twisted her ankle and fell to the ground. As she fell backwards hands from the darkness catched her before she fell completely to the floor.
"Are you alright?" said the voice in the darkness.
"I could be better!" she said angrily.
"Don't worry… let me take care of this scum for you." As a foot appeared so did the face. The eyes were slit like and yellow they stared at matt furiously like he was going to kill matt to protect Meilin. suddenly a fire bomb was thrown at maeve. the attacker saw her still standing then she rentlessly threw many fire bombs. as each one impacted on her the girl with brown hair smiled. but as that smiled faded away maeve suddenly said as she walked out of the fire unharmed.
"If your fire bombs didn't work the first time why the bloody hell would they work when you continued throwing them." The girl with the black hand in her long brown hair wasn't concerned, that was until Maeve let loose one her own bombs. As maeve threw the fire bomb it hit her right in the face and sent the girl halfway across the room. "Mess with my friends and you're fucked" suddenly the girl got up she said.
"You think that hurt I'll show what true pain is!" she said as she put her two index fingers and thumbs together whilst the rest of her fingers curved over each other she whispered
"Please master… let your teachings of this great art be enough to stop her." As Maeve stood there just watching her talking to herself she suddenly heard from the girl. "Ninja art. Betray of friends jutsu" as the girl slowly disappeared into the rolling blackness Maeve was on her own in the darkness not even her own fire could light the darkness. Suddenly she heard footsteps coming towards her she gathered up her fire in her hands just in case it was her. Suddenly a familiar person to Maeve stepped out of the shadows.
"Alucard thank god it's you. How did you find me?" she said reliefed to see someone that could see through the darkness and hopefully lead her out. But something was wrong…he stood there without saying a word. "Hey Alucard how did you find me in this darkness?" suddenly his hand moved as he moved he reached for his gun. "Alucard…what are you doing?!" he then fired a few bullets into her arm and then disappeared. As blood drew from Maeves arms from where she had been shot another set of footsteps approached her if it was alucard again she'll burn him to cinders. As she grinded her teeth in anger she suddenly saw… "Matt, what's going on? Why's alucard attacking me?"
"You're weak!" he said coldly.
"Me? Weak? Who was the one that got their ass kicked by a girl?"
"You got lucky! That won't happen again!" as matt clapped his hands a loud echoing sound bounced around the darkness. Suddenly Matts cheeks swelled up. "Fire style...dragon flame Jutsu" as a roaring fire came out of Matts mouth Maeve smiled.
"You idiot I'm invulnerable to fire attacks." As the fire hit her head on she stood there still smiling. As the fire died down she said smugly. "I told you" suddenly matt pointed to her arms as she looked at her arms she gasped in horror at the sight of it. She couldn't believe what was happening…her arms were…melting! "No this is impossible…I'm…melting!" she said as she let out a scream of horror.
As matt and the man with a giant sword stared each other out the man with large sword said. "You're not quite what I expected I thought so one at the top of Dream X would be taller!"
"Yeah! Yeah! Keep coming with the short jokes I've heard them all on my journey."
"Well once I'm done with you you'll be even shorter" he said as he charged at matt with the large sword. As the sword slash matt jumped into the air narrowly avoiding the attack he jumped back to where sakura was resting against one of the twelve columns he reached for the sword underneath the coat she was wearing. "Not fast enough kid!" he said as he charged matt from behind.
As he came in for a death slash his sword was stopped but matt's ANBU sword he got when he was 16. As matt struggled to hold back the sword the man mocked him more. "You think that butter knife is going to keep my sword back. Maybe you don't know this but I'll tell you anyway. My sword has been given the name black demon sword." He said as he pushed matt back even further
"Why's that?" asked matt.
"Because when I let loose my devastating attack the next and last thing you'll see is a black demon."
"Well that was obvious"
"Shut up boy!" he said as he drew a small knife from his back pocket and stabbed matt in the arm.
As blood poured out matt was struggling to stay on his feet. His vision was being to go blurry and then he fell to the ground losing a lot of blood. As the man chuckled he jumped in the air and said. "Now you die". Matt closed his eyes it was all over no one could save him now. Suddenly a strange noise like wires zipping came from the darkness coiling up the man. "What the hell is going on?" he cried out confused. As matt opened his eyes he could see blood was dripping from the wire it was very sharp by the looks of it but where did this wire come from. Suddenly a familiar voice came from the darkness.
"Oh dear, I missed. I suppose I'm not as spry as I use to be." Matt was relived to see him.
"Hey, glad you could make it to the party!" but the man was not so easily impressed. As he got loose from the wire he turned round to face the man who coiled him up in wire and said.
"Who the fuck are you old man!"
"Walter Dollneaz." He answered "Retainer of the hellsing family" as he reeled back his wires he continued "and hellsing organisation member retired" as he raised the wires up he said to the man "shall we?" the man laughed.
"You got to be kidding me… me against you? This is rich" while the man was distracted with laughter Walter said to matt.
"Matt leave this brute to me you go and help Maeve"
"You got it Walter…and good luck" said matt. As matt ran towards the girl with black head band the man turned round.
"Hey runt! You ain't getting away from me" he said as he charged after matt. As Walter threw his Wires to coil up the man he said correcting his grammar.
"It's your not getting away from me and let's face you are definitely not getting away from me now" as matt got closer he jumped into the air and curled up his fist he said as he fast approached the girl.
"Hey you!" as the girl turned round it was too late to move "knock, knock" he said as he punched her in the face sending her through the air and straight into the eleventh column. As Maeve continued screaming in pain of her melting skin matt knew what to do. As he placed his hand on the back of her neck he released the genjutsu and freed Maeve from that nightmare unfortunately Maeve thought she was still in the genjutsu and started attacking matt with fire fits. "Melt my skin you bastard…I'll kill you!" as matt dodged her blows he manage to grab one of her fists and said.
"Maeve it's me! You were trapped in genjutsu making your worst nightmares come to life."
"How do I know that this is not a genjutsu too?"
"Would a genjutsu me do this!" he said as he put his other hand round her waist and pulled her closer. As he pulled her closer he bent her back and kissed her as she closed her eyes and knew that she wasn't in a genjutsu. As matt pulled away Maeves face blushed once again, but before she could say anything a voice from behind.
"You think you've defeated me with one punch?" as they turned round the witch hunter was struggling to get up, Matts punch really did her in. "come on im a witch hunter I've taken worst hits from wannbe apprentices." As she got off the wall she was barely standing this is when matt came up with a plan.
As they whispered to each other the witch hunter wondered if these two were for real. "Well if that's going to work then you'll need these" she said as she handed something to him. As matt looked in her hands it was the gloves she had been wearing her knuckle dusters were silver and boy were they heavy.
"Thanks Maeve" he said as he slid them on. As he reached for something in his back pocket the witch hunter was preparing for an incoming projectile. But what he pulled out was going to be used not on her but on themselves. "On the count three break right, ready?" Maeve nodded. "One…two…THREE!" he said as he threw the ball on the floor. As the ball exploded smoke poured out creating a smokescreen. As the witch hunter tried to look for a shadow in the smoke all of a sudden matt jumped and started to attack but as he went to punch she dodged his attacks as he went in for another blow he missed her. As she kept dodging his attacks she sensed something was wrong. Some one who could knock the wind out of her from the air unable to land a single blow in close combat there was definitely something a foot. The witch hunter had enough and punched matt in the face. As matt flew in the air the witch hunter decided to celebrate a little bit by cheering until someone grabbed her from behind and bent down forwards in the Ude garami position otherwise known as the bent arm lock.
"Where did you come from?" she asked confused.
"Where do you think (?)"Said Maeve sarcastically as the witch hunter struggled to get free. Suddenly matt came full charged with a move he like to call.
"Matt 5 punch" obviously a play on words from mach to matt, as Maeve let go of the witch hunter she barely made it out of the attack. As matt made contact with his punch the witch hunter went through the wall behind and laid there completely out of it, the fight was clearly over. As Maeve and Matt celebrated Walter had just finished off the tall man with the large sword.
"I know this ungentlemen like but spoils of war." He said as he took out the man's wallet just to find information on him. As he searched for an Identification Card on him he found it in a secret compartment of the wallet. "Jijo sulfkault commander of the Iscariot Organization of section XIII, Well Integra will be pleased we took out one of her enemy's commander's" he said happily. Over by Maeve and matt they were doing the same thing.
"Here it is" said matt as held up her wallet.
"Well what does it say?" asked Maeve impatiently.
"I don't know I haven't opened it yet! I just found it." As matt opened the wallet he found her I.D. card in a small section of her purse. "Raven sern claw. Weird name for a witch hunter, Oh well." He said as he placed back the purse. Then suddenly they heard a moan it was sakura, she was beginning to stir. As Matt and Maeve rushed over to her Matts heart began to beat faster and faster because he was by sakuras side. As she woke up she saw matt and said.
"You saved me again."
"That's what partners do, that's we promised on that day."
"But I thought you came down here to tell me you replaced me" suddenly Maeve said to sakura.
"Would a replacement come to rescue the original? Figure it out you're smarter than that."
"No she wouldn't. God Im so stupid."
"Nonsense sakura. Your never stupid just misguided but that's why im here." Said matt turning red in the face. Sakura always wondered why matt turned red every time he get this close to her. Meanwhile up on the platform above the dance floor two figures stood in the darkness.
"Master your most strongest guards have been defeated by matt and his friends." The figure nodded. "Would you like me to dispose of him for you?"
"No!" He said in a dark voice. "I've had enough failure for one day…I'll deal with him myself." As he walked to the stone staircase behind him his servant said.
"And the others my lord?"
"Leave them! They are no threat to me!" he said as he walked down the stairs behind him. As sakura looked at Matts face she finally asked him.
"Matt why does your face turn red every time I'm near?" Matts heart race began to increase. His hands started shaking, his lips began trembling and his eyes widened.
"Well…Its because" he stammered "Well…for long time I … I wanted to say something to you."
Sakuras heart began racing as well. "So here it is sakura Avalon …I'm…I'm…I'm" but before he could a finish a dark voice from the darkness shouted out.
"A complete idiot." As Matts eyes changed to hatetred and his teeth to anger Maeve knew that this was the person who did this all and that matt knew the person.
"Quit hiding in darkness and show your face…Takato" as a foot appeared matt was becoming more angry knowing that HE was still alive and had not changed his ways like he promised matt so long ago.
"It's true though isn't it you should've killed me long ago… but you showed kindness and decide to let me live. You are so weak." He said mocking him. "And to think I'll change my ways and not destroy Dream X that makes you a complete idiot." As he stood completely out of the shadow the others could see that he was the same age as matt but his eyes were so dark no light could enter. His eyes were brownish red but seemed black his hair remained the same the brown hair of burnt villages. Matt asked Takato sharply.
"There's a question running through my mind Takato"
"And what is that?" he replied coldly.
"Why did you make me chase Meilin half way across the world?"
"Didn't you know? This is where it all ends matt."
"What all ends?"
"Dream X! Your friends and most importantly…You! Because once im done here the world will plunge into darkness and I'shall rule the world."
"Over my dead body!" said matt bravely.
"In due time matt….all in due time!" he as he chuckled evilly.
