Chapter 14
Alucard held May's neck in his hand. It had taken him barely ten minutes to defeat the chip vampire. The reports were over exaggerated. There was no way this vampire could have caused so much havoc. He gripped harder.
"Now, May... you tell me what your master told you..." He growled.
"I won't tell you anything... I swore-" Alucard held the gun to his mouth.
"Come on, tell me or die."
"You'll kill me anyways!"
"I won't! I swear on my damned soul..." He grinned. May coughed up blood.
"My master... he just said to kill as many as I could... that's all..."
"Is your master Incognito?!" May smirked.
"You should be able to figure that out yourself..." Alucard frowned.
"Don't play smart ass with me!!" He shot May in the head. Alucard dropped his body and watched it turn to dust.
"Damn smartasses..." He slipped his gun back into it's holder.
"Oi... Police girl," He said into a walkie.
"Y-yes master?"
"Tell your comrades it's time to pull out. This was a waste of time."
"B...but master... We're in serious trouble up here! Someone... no... A vampire... they're killing everyone! Even I'm injured. And it's not healing at all!" Alucard smirked.
"Oh... some competition again? Have you seen him?"
"No master. He's well hidden. I can only faintly smell him. He smells... unreal." There was a whooshing sound in the background. Seras screamed. Alucard clicked a seperate button on the walkie.
"Shizumo."
"What?! Are you having trouble?!"
"No. Seras has run into a stronger vampire. Tell Lady Hellsing that it'll take a little longer than expected. I think someone we've been looking for is here..." He grinned.
"Fine... I'll tell her. You go rescue your creation and don't fuck it up." Alucard put the walkie away and started walking for the stairs.
Shizumo put the walkie back in its holder and started up the stairs again. She stopped. The door was closed. She didn't remember closing it. She also didn't remember there being a bunch of rose vines all over the door. She heard something move behind her. Shizumo turned around. Two bright red eyes stared at her. She didn't move. Silver hair, pale skin, and a black streak through his bangs; it was Marcus.
"Marc...." She muttered. He nodded.
"It's good to see you again, Shizumo. How long has it been?"
"At least one hundred years, you little bastard..." He chuckled.
"Still as snippy as ever. I was actually hoping we could become friends?" Shizumo took out her sword and held the tip at his neck.
"I can see that won't work... Why are you so mean to me? Can't you just let our little run in with each other go?"
"No. I had a friend, you killed him. You took his place, then betrayed me. Believe me, you broke that laws of nature by even becoming a friend and getting away from you killing the friend you replaced. You also attacked me while I was very weak. You knew of my weak stage... you knew the time I was weakest. Every decade... every decade I become as weak as a human! And you took advantage of that and tried to kill me!" She snarled. Marcus smiled.
"Can't you let that go? I was confused at the time. I knew that to become a strong vampire I had to kill a stronger one than me. And you were the strongest so I just thought..."
"You thought wrong..." Marcus turned around and started walking down the stairs.
"Maybe we can put that behind us. I'm only here to talk to you now."
"If you're going to talk to me then you'll answer my questions!" She hissed, following him.
"Fine... if it means I'll be able to talk to you..."
"Why are you helping Incognito?"
"He was going for something that intrigued me. He wanted to summon the demons of hell onto earth to punish the foolish humans. I agreed with him. I wanted to bring out the demons that torture the damned when they die, so that the evil humans that are not dead yet, will be tortured while they lived! To punish the evildoers is what I'm after. To kill the evildoers is what I support. To protect the innocent is what I'm after as well."
"You idiot! Incognito seeks to destroy mankind! The innocent will be killed as well!"
"They will be sent to heaven. The will live in peaceful sanctuary. I am using Incognito to bring judgement day on this world." Shizumo growled.
"Just a few years ago, if I remember correctly, you didn't care about the world. You were willing to kill mercilessly, women, children, men, and you would even lower yourself to raping children and women." Marcus stopped and turned around.
"I have changed since then. I am now an intelligent person. I think about everything I do. What's odd about Incognito's plan is that it requires a portal being. Someone who was born in hell and is feared by every being everywhere. Someone who carries the memories of Satan himself..." He stared at Shizumo.
"Apparently, that person is you, Shizumo. You're the key to releasing hell itself on the world..." Shizumo growled.
"I know that... why do you think I'm always running around?! It's a method of surpressing memories! Don't think I'll cooperate with you. I'd never even think of it." Marcus smiled.
"I knew you wouldn't cooperate with it, Shizumo. I'm just telling you it... just in case something should happen..." He said. Marcus disappeared. Shizumo slammed her fist into the nearest pillar. It cracked and split in half.
"God dammit... He's just messing with my head now... How the hell does he even know about the damn portal's host?! He shouldn't know... the devil trusts only a few beings... I'm one of them!" She turned on her heel and went back up the stairs.
"I bet Incognito overheard something..." She growled.
Alucard walked down in between the lines of soldiers that had flattened themselves against the walls. He could see Seras laying on the floor near a corner that turned to another hallway. She was firing her cannon at the hidden enemy. He stood next to her. Seras stopped firing and pulled back.
"He's down the hallway, master," She said. Alucard grinned.
"That's great... Now tell them all to get the hell out or they'll be caught up in the mess..." He saw a red light shine out of the darkness. He walked forward.
"Hey! Incognito! It has been too long... How long has it been exactly? About... three hundred years?" He held his hands out to his sides, curling his fingers.
"Alucard...." A rough voice said. Incognito walked forward into view.
"You are under a humans control? A vampire such as you... you've been lowered far too much..." He growled.
"Tch... you've made yourself look even more like shit... Haven't you ever heard of hygiene?" Alucard snickered. Incognito raised his arm, a gun was in it.
"Well, looks like you have a human made weapon as well!" Alucard pulled out his gun.
"Let's begin this, shall we!?"
"Let's end this now!" They charged at each other, shooting for each others head. A hand grabbed each other their faces and pushed them apart. Shizumo stood between them.
"Alucard! We're leaving!" She ordered.
"Who the hell do you think you are!? I am in the middle of a fight here!"
"I don't care! We're leaving..." She glared at Incognito.
"Shizumo? Ah... Shizumo... I know of you. You whipped Alucard into the thing he is today... you gave him his power..."
"Can the shit, Incognito. I have a few questions to ask you." Incognito grinned.
"Yes?"
"Fist off, how did you learn of the portals host?" She asked darkly. Incognito chuckled.
"Why, from the devil of course!"
"How did you find out!?" She snapped.
"If you must know, I killed one of his close friends and got it from him."
"You bastard... Just how the hell did you find out who his friends where?!"
"I listen... and watch... You're suppose to know simple things like that. Are you not Shizumo?! The most powerful vampire in the world?! Tch... it is just a title after all isn't it?" He laughed. Shizumo drew her gun.
"I can kill you right now..."
"A man made weapon will not kill me."
"But enough blessed bullets might!" She hissed. She shot his large red eye. He laughed as the wound healed.
"I will not waste my time on you now!" He backed into the darkness and disappeared. Shizumo turned and went back down the hallway.
"Alucard, we're leaving..." She growled. She walked past him and dissolved into mist. Alucard sighed and disappeared.
Integra saw them walk out. She wondered why Shizumo looked so mad.
"I'm guessing they're weren't up to your standerds, Shizumo?" She asked. She ignored her and walked back to the weapons trailer.
"Hm... must be weaker than I am..." Alucard approached her.
"Master... Shizumo has found out some pretty disturbing news for her... That's why she is so pissed off. Don't take it against yourself. She just needs her space,'' He grinned. Integra lite a cigar and sighed.
"Alright... How did everything go? I overheard that Incognito might have been there."
"He was. But the fight was finished before we did anything. Shizumo interrupted us... She was already mad when she came in.." Alucard explained. Integra nodded.
"Well... we suffered casualties.. but we'd better leave now. The sun is almost ready to rise. Everyone get back in the trucks! We're leaving!" She yelled, climbing into her car. Shizumo slammed the trailer door shut and didn't allow any of the soldiers to put away their weapons. Walter couldn't even get in, he was just too afraid of Shizumo's temper to go near her.
