Disclaimer: Here we go, the story is picking up.

In New York, the Nightstalkers continue with their interrogation of Kazuya. Rosette begins to suspect Chief Quinton of being the agent under Klaus' control; can they prove it in time before LOD plans something awful? Kazuya leaves them with a shocking ultimatum.

Alucard, Seras and Anderson meanwhile manage to avoid certain death and acquire the Anima device. But upon inspection of the ruins, they discover a horrifying truth, one which points to Klaus' next objective.

The Order of the Cross touches down in Egypt and begins their search in the Valley of the Kings. The wolf pack splits up, checking the ancient ruins and tombs of the long buried Pharaohs. While searching through the sites Captain Reznov and his men discover something, something that may point to Klaus' identity. Just then, members of LOD launch an attack. The search for the device quickly mounts to an all out battle between Vladimir's forces and LOD and in the chaos; a dear friend may pay the ultimate price.

Meanwhile the enemy is busy plotting their next move. With the devastation in Prague reaching a chilling conclusion, Klaus orders his minions to prepare for yet another massive invasion. Klaus is growing bolder in his quest to dominate all beings under his rule and is one step closer to regaining that which he lost 2,000 years ago.

Author's note: After a few more chapters, I'm going to do a three part origin story for Kazuya. I've gotten a lot of messages asking more information about his past and I promise, all your questions will be answered! Keep reading.

Chapter Twenty Five- The Tomb

Rosette stepped into the interrogation area where Kazuya was still being held captive. Sitting down she crosses her legs and watched. She looked into his eyes; those piercing brown eyes, seemingly far too mature for someone his age. Rosette felt an uneasiness coming over her. Here was an individual, responsible for awful killings spanning dozens of countries yet he looked no older than 17 or 18. What's more, and others could attest to this, there was something disturbingly inhuman about the cold and lifeless stare of his eyes. It was if she were gazing into the eyes of a devil.

"Kazuya, there's something I want to understand. You said your ancestors made a pact with…with this demon to acquire its power. Can you tell me more about it? What is this demon exactly?" Rosette asked. Kazuya stared, his eyes narrowing slowly. "You won't like what you hear" he said. Rosette said, "Kazuya, I run an agency that hunts for monsters in the night. I doubt I can be surprised by anything else in this world" she said with a slight smirk.

Kazuya sighed, waiting several moments before speaking.

"The demon referred to itself as Thanos and was said to be the living incarnation of death itself. This entity has plagued my entire bloodline for centuries, causing us to slip into madness and sin." Kazuya explained. His face twitched and he grit his teeth, exhaling sharply as he squirmed in his seat. Rosette raise an eyebrow as Kazuya grunted.

"He wants me to switch with him. That would be very…messy, for you all" Kazuya said.

"Wait, switch? What so you can just let him take control? I thought it was possession?" Rosette asked. "In a sense it is, generally he can only take over if my life is in danger and I am inches away from death. I am unique among my brethren in that I was the only Hale child with special preventives put in place, to guard my soul from his corruption. No matter how hard he fights, he cannot over power my soul and take over." Kazuya explained.

The door to the room tapped twice. Rosette stood from her seat and exited. Outside were Dexter and Seth, looking distressed.

"Chief Quinton was brought in for questioning. Apparently he has a solid alibi as to why he hasn't been heard from since we brought him in" Seth said rolling his eyes. Rosette frowned, "I'm more worried about something else" she said turning back to Kazuya. "He was too cooperative. We've talked more since you guys were gone. He's told me a little more about his kills. Guys, he's gone up against the Russian Mafia, the Italian Mafia, the Yakuza, Triads, drug cartels, sex trafficking rings, child pornography rings. Every kind of criminal organization imaginable he has silenced. He's alluded law enforcement for years and then, he just agrees and goes in without a fight? Why? It doesn't make sense." She said beginning to pace.

Dexter said, "What are you getting at Rosette?' he asked. Rosette then said, "I think Kazuya wanted to be captured so he could find out who in the Bureau is working under Klaus. I believe he suspects it may be Chief Quinton. I'm not sure exactly but he planned this, his kills at city hall was a way to get our attention, forcing us to bring him in" she said turning back and watching Kazuya who continued sitting still.

"And we fell for it" Rosette said clenching her fist.

In Russia…

Vladimir stood facing his office window. His phone rang, he picked it up and answered. His presence was required in the conference room. Traveling to the middle floor he stepped in. Inside the conference was his wife, Irina, Proctor and a few of his guards.

"Sir, you need to see this. It's a live news report coming from the city of Prague" he said turning on the large monitor. Instantly, the screen showed several images of the destruction of Prague. Fires raged across the city, ravaging the streets and sending several dozen billowing plumes of smoke rising to the sky. Buildings crumbled and fell to pieces. Everyone watched in horror as the massive Reaper horde, led by Rogue assaulted the streets, killings at their leisure and destroying all in their path. Rogue rumbled and screeched, disbanding his shield of crows. Raising his left index finger he pointed to the sky, to the several helicopters hovering overhead. Among them were news teams frantically covering the carnage.

"SSEEERVE KLAUUUUUS!" he bellowed as he waved his sword and pressed on the attack.

"What the…the hell is going on? Klaus is attacking Prague now? For what?" Vladimir shouted slamming his foot down and gritting his teeth.

"Recall what Colonel Gruzinsky said. This is Klaus' message to the world. He is using this attack as a way to show his power and might. I spoke with the Prime Minister's chief of staff, they report that the devastation is similar to St. Petersburg" Mariska stated. Irina said nothing, staring intently at the monitor and viewing the savage destruction.

"Damn it all, we've barely begun the search for these artifacts and Klaus is already causing more destruction?" Vladimir said sitting in a chair and holding his head. As he prepared to speak again, an agent entered the room. "Sir? A Mr. Dante is on the line. He says it is pretty urgent"

Vladimir paused, "What exactly did he say?" he asked.

The agent hesitated. "He said, er, and I quote: 'Tell that skinny ass Russian the shit has hit the fan'". Vladimir chuckled, not in the least bit offended. That sure sounded like Dante. "I'll take the call in here, thanks"

Vladimir sat at the desk in the room, picking up the phone. "Yeah what's up Dante?"

Silence passed as Vladimir listened. "No I'm not alone, why what's this all abo-uh sure….I'll put you on now" Vladimir motioned for everyone to gather around as he pressed the speaker button.

"Go ahead Dante" he said leaning back into his chair.

"Hey man, we messed up. We messed up BIG time. Nero and I have been doing a little snooping. Turns out, we have it completely backwards about Klaus" Dante spoke from the other line. Vladimir raised an eyebrow curiously, but said nothing as Dante continued.

"Ok so look here's the story. Nero and I were tracking down the leader of this cult. Rumors were circulating they had ties to Klaus and LOD. We found him, a man named Tobias at one of his hide outs. After speaking with him, he revealed that Klaus is after more than just those devices. Klaus is after something far more…personal. Something he lost 2,000 years ago when he first tried to implement his plan" Dante spoke.

Vladimir narrowed his eyes. Mariska this time spoke. "More…personal? So what like a weapon?" she asked.

"No not a weapon. Tobias said that Klaus is looking to restore himself to his former power and glory. Unfortunately, the dude ended up dying right before us. But before he did however, he parted us a code. We deciphered it. It was then that we realized just who it is we're dealing with" Dante replied. Vladimir slowly sat up straight. That dangerous and foreboding feeling that he's been feeling, could this be the reason why?

Proctor cleared his throat. "Please, tell us Dante. What did this code mean?"

Dante said, "It meant: 'The real one isn't with them', which confused the hell out of us until we started considering the big picture. Guys, the real Klaus is not the one leading LOD and orchestrating all of these events. He's a fake, an imposter. Something happened 2,000 years ago that left Klaus powerless and a former shell of himself. Klaus is searching for these devices, to aid in a ritual that will give him his former body. But more importantly; Klaus is actually looking for his true body. We believe this is the only thing that has kept him at bay for so long. Now that he has Theokoles he's not going to be as cautious as before." Dante said.

The room grew deathly silent; no one uttering a word. Then, very slowly, Vladimir cleared his throat. "Dante, Klaus sent Theokoles and a few other of his minions to the city of Prague. We're not sure for what but they've been laying waste to the city for some time now.

Dante himself grew quiet, for a long time. Then finally he said, "Oh shit".

At Carthage…

Alucard laughed wildly, firing away from his two pistols. Anderson grinned with a sadistic joy as he pulled out scores of blessed bayonets. Seras meanwhile was the most reserved and calm, firing steadily from her assault rifle. The trio were busy fighting against the denizens of the ancient ruins of Carthage. Long since dead, these re-animated corpses were bound by powerful magic to guard the tomb.

Sitting on the coffin, the Guardian watched, mildly interested at how these intruders would perform. None had ever successfully escaped, and he intended to keep it that way.

"AHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Alucard laughed wildly shooting from the Jackal and Casull; three of the figured had their heads blown clean off. Anderson slashed and sliced two more to bits before spinning and tossing his bayonets at the hearts of more. Seras ejected an empty magazine, preparing to load another in when two of the spectral figures rushed her. Dropping her gun she knocked the first to the side with a swift kick to the face. The second slashed at her with its sword; Seras harmlessly caught the blade and proceeded to decapitate the figure in one gory move.

There was a loud shout, the Guardian jumped down, waving its spear around before assuming a battle stance. Alucard's eyes flashed as he grinned. "So, ready to do battle?" he asked. The Guardian responded by promptly jabbing his spear through Alucard's chest, impaling him as he then tossed him to the side. Anderson responded by slashing rapidly with two bayonets. The Guardian parried and deflected each hit; spinning his spear around and mixing in physical attacks with his shield forcing Anderson on the defensive. Alucard slowly reformed from his wounds as he grinned maliciously. "Cromwell Restrictions 3…2…1 RELEASE!" he shouted as his body began glowing as several eyes formed across. Alucard sprinted forward, raising his guns and began firing. The Guardian dropped to its knees, deflecting the gunfire with his shield. Anderson took the opportunity to plunge several blades into the Guardian's back causing him to stumble forward. He then planted a swift kick sending it sprawling backwards.

Alucard suddenly appeared behind the Guardian, eyes filled with malice as he unloaded several rounds from the Jackal into him. The rounds burst through, forming several large gaping wounds as the Guardian staggered and cried out. He spun around, slashing Alucard in half with his spear. Alucard promptly burst into a swarm of shadows, a hell hound emerged, roaring and snapping its jaws as it bounded forward and bit into the Guardian, tearing off its arm as it cried in agony.

"This can't be! No one has ever had the strength to defeat us!" The Guardian said staggering backwards. He then felt the cold barrel of a gun to the back of his head. Seras cocked her rifle, squeezed and promptly blasted his head off. "Then unfortunate for you, today marks the end of that mess" she said coldly as she ejected an empty cartridge.

The shield surrounding the device promptly dissipated with the death of the Guardian. The remaining spectral figures shrieked in agony as they too disappeared, forever remaining in their graves. Placing their weapons away, Alucard, Seras and Anderson then walked toward the stone coffin. Hesitating, Seras placed her hands on the lid, slowly pushing it off until it crashed to the floor. Peering inside, she squinted and then said "Uh…Master?"

Alucard too looked inside, and sneered. "Well well, how interesting." He said.

The coffin was empty. The only item inside was large gold plated chest. On the inside of the coffin lid was an inscription, written in Punic. Seras squinted, "That's not latin" she said. "No" Anderson said peering closer. "It's ancient Punic. Lucky for us though, Punic has been translated quite accurately into both Greek and Latin. It's an old form but it reads 'Here lies Scipio'" he said.

Seras' eyes widened considerably. "Did you say…Scipio?" she asked. Anderson nodded. Seras checked inside the coffin. "This is strange. Scipio was the Roman general who led the armies during the Siege of Carthage. He was the one who was said to have attempted to steal the device from the king of Carthage. If this is his coffin well, where is the body?" she asked. No one knew the answer, Alucard didn't seem particularly perturbed. His gaze instead shifted to the chest.

Seras picked it up with both hands and stepped back. Alucard and Anderson then watched as she slowly peeled off the cover. Seras held the chest steadily as a bright light filled the room causing her to briefly shield her eyes. When she re-focused her vision she gasped.

Inside the box was an orb like artifact. It glowed a bright yellow color and was covered in dozens of rune like patterns.

"Master…is..is this it?" Seras asked. Alucard folded his arms. "So this…this is an Anima. Hmph" the vampire count said smirking. Anderson walked forward, inspecting the Anima. "Now that we have secured it, we'll need to place it in secure storage." Anderson said reaching up.

Seras promptly shut the case tight and stepped back. "Don't even try it. The Vatican may be assisting but this is still under Sir Integra's command. Hellsing, not Iscariot, will secure this device. And if you, Maxwell or anyone else from the Vatican has a problem than they can take it up with Sir Integra and Her Majesty the Queen herself. Are we clear, Father?" Seras said narrowing her crimson eyes and speaking with a forceful tone. As if to further emphasize her point, Seras' eyes flashed as the shadows at her feet began to dance and flicker, slowly inching towards Anderson.

Anderson raised his eyes, unusually non-combative. Moments passed before Anderson finally began laughing.

"Well well, the little Draculina is all grown up. Standing up to the big bad Paladin on her own." Anderson chuckling and adjusting his glasses as he took a step forward.

"Very well little vampire. I'll play your game. Call in to your Integra, let her know we've secured the device" Anderson said walking past her and exiting the chambers. Alucard soon followed, grinning as his fangs protruded.

"Seras" he said. Seras froze, staring at her master.

"That was quite entertaining. I read his mind, he was genuinely afraid, but would never admit it. Well done, my child" Alucard said laughing as he walked away. Seras stared, before a warm smile soon formed. She shut the chest close and followed after her master. Seras turned and gave one last look at the empty coffin, narrowing her eyes.

"There's something not right here. Why would someone inscribe Scipio's name if his body was not buried in the coffin? Did someone take the body? If so, who? And why would someone steal the body but leave the Anima behind. Unless…no, it couldn't be…him."

Seras then shook her head as she sprinted to catch up to Alucard.

In Egypt…

The Valley of the Kings in recent years has exploded into one of the most significant and important archaeological discoveries. It has been a focus of Egyptian exploration since the late 18th century. As recently as 2008, further exploration has given way to the realization the tombs and caverns of this enormous region stretch deeper than previously imagined. It is for this reason that the search for the remaining devices has brought the Order of the Cross to Egypt.

The Valley, located on the West bank of the Nile, has been quarantined off by both Russian and Egyptian military forces. Vladimir's forces touched down in the region over two hours ago. They quickly worked in conjunction with Egyptian Special Forces to establish a containment zone.

Captain Yuri Reznov sat inside a large tent located near the central East Valley. He was viewing a map of the region as well as print outs of the tombs they were to search. Each tomb was highlighted in red marker. The entrance to the tent opened, bringing in a rush of warm air from outside as Captain Reznov turned around. There, surrounded by two Egyptian soldiers was a man of perhaps 30 years of age. He had dark tanned skin, light hazel eyes and black shaggy hair with a thick and heavy mustache and beard. He was dressed in white khakis, a blue polo shirt and brown boots and wore a light tan scarf across his neck.

"Captain Yuri, yes?' he asked. His accent thick as he flashed the Captain a friendly smile.

"The one and only" Captain Reznov said standing to greet him. "I am Amun. I am one of Vladimir's liaisons between Russia and Egypt. Forgive if my English is not very good." Amun said offering his hand as Captain Reznov promptly shook it. The two men then began pacing around inside the tent.

"Everything has already been set. The Russian Prime Minister has contacted our leaders here. You will have the freedom to conduct your search. The only set back is we can't be certain that the enemy hasn't infiltrated Egyptian intelligence, so you'll need to be extra vigilant." Amun said as Captain Reznov offered him a seat.

Captain Reznov then said "Our teams are preparing at the other sites. Once they radio in I'll lead my men into the tombs."

Meanwhile, across the valley at the camp site near the tomb of Ramses the II. The wolf pack were preparing for the coming incursions into the tombs. The tomb of Ramses the II, specifically dubbed KV5 was located in a subterranean rock-cut tomb.

Michael was leading the pack inside, but first they were going over a mission briefing. Their base camp was established at the top of canyon over looking the valley. Inside the tent Michael was discussing with Colonel Gruzinsky their plans.

"Based on our research, the artifact should be located within the lower chambers of the tomb. The tomb is quite large and there are numerous corridors and winding stairs plummeting into the lower levels. It may take some time, but we should find it." Colonel Gruzinsky said turning to face the pack. Michael nodded, folding his arms.

"Alright, let's gear up and head inside. Remember: Stay close and keep in contact through your radio pieces. The other teams should be preparing at their own sites. Let's move out" Michael said as everyone stood to leave. Michael led the initial journey into the tomb. He was joined by Kathy, Raul, Karl, and Robert. The rest of the pack, being led by Hiro was guarding the perimeter along with the assistance of the Bloodpack.

Hiro stood at the entrance to the tomb, tapping his ear piece once. "Boss, everything in place" he said.

"Good, we'll see you in a few. Stay safe man" Michael answered back. Michael then turned a corner, descending down into the tomb followed closely by the rest of his group.

"Just something still bugging me" Kathy began. "We know where this thing is, and I'm assuming Klaus did too. So why the wait? What was Klaus preparing for if he needs this device?" Kathy asked. Raul said, "Beats me. Its one thing we keep bringing up. Knowing Klaus, the answer can't be good"

The group turned a corner, leading to long corridor. The walls adorned with ancient writings and hieroglyphics. Karl pulled out a map, "Should be not much further. But, something doesn't feel right" he said gripping the handle of his shotgun.

Time passed and the group descended down a long flight of stairs deeper into one of the lower levels. They could see what little remained of the once flourishing Egyptian culture. They could also see more hieroglyphics adorning the walls.

Michael then grabbed his radio. "Captain. Captain Reznov do you copy?" he asked.

A moment later his radio hissed. "This is Captain Reznov over."

"We've descended into KV5. How goes the search there?" Michael asked as his radio squawked. "We just stepped in as well. So far so good. My men are stationed outside and on the perimeters. Colonel Gruzinsky has descended into his site. We'll keep in contact over" he said.

Captain Reznov placed his radio away and nodded for his men to continue their journey into the site. They walked single file with Captain Reznov at the front, shining his light to illuminate their path. The path took them down a long hallway and finally down a single flight of stairs descending deep down into a lower chamber. After a few minutes they reached the bottom. The sides of the pathway lit by torches and stretching down a seemingly endless hall. "Stay frosty" Captain Reznov said as he watched his men switch the safety of their weapons.

The walked down the long path entering a massive dome shaped chamber. The chamber had a series of a dozen stone altars surrounding a massive sarcophagus standing in the center. Cautiously, Captain Reznov took three of his men towards it while the others stood watch. Walking to it, he placed his hand on it.

"There's an inscription here. Do we have that sheet for translating ancient Egyptian?" he asked.

"No need Captain" one of his officers said. The man stepped forward, taking his assault rifle and strapping it around his shoulder. "I studied ancient Egyptian while I was on duty during my last tour. I'm…a little rusty but should be able to make out what it says. Let's see now…" he concentrated and traced the front of the sarcophagus with his finger. Suddenly, his eyes widened as he took a step back.

"What?" someone asked.

"It says….'The Master of Death, will rise to reclaim that which he lost. He will seek the end of one world, to bring about a new one. He will ascend to power, return to his former glory and in doing so will evolve not into a man, but a walking plague upon this earth. Here lies Klaus, the Master of Death" he read.

One of the soldiers then said "Klaus? Boss, isn't this Klaus guy the one we're after?" he asked. Captain Reznov widened his eyes. "What the hell does it mean here lies Klaus? Is this supposed to be Klaus' tomb? This wasn't in our mission report. Something is wrong here" Captain Reznov said reaching for his radio.

"Captain Reznov in. Michael, Colonel, anyone copy?" he asked. A moment later a response.

"Go ahead Captain" Colonel Gruzinsky answered.

"Colonel, I think we fucked up. We fucked up real bad. We have this entirely backwards." He said.

"What happened Yuri? Did you find a device?" Colonel Gruzinsky asked.

"No…we found Klaus' tomb apparently. There's a big ass sarcophagus here with inscriptions saying how Klaus will rise and reclaim his former glory. It's got to be a fake, Klaus has shown himself already so how can he be in this tomb?" Captain Reznov asked.

"Captain, I'm contacting Vladimir now hang on" Colonel Gruzinsky said. Captain Reznov said "Radio to base camp and tell them we'll need a team sent down here to secure this site" as one of his officers grabbed his radio. Suddenly the group froze; they detected the faintest of sounds. A soft and slow dragging sound followed by deep raspy and heavy breathing, like a winded horse breathing through a small tube.

"Ugh, the hell is that smell?" one of the soldiers complained. Captain Reznov covered his nose in disgust. The stench seemed to be growing stronger as the noise increased, drawing closer to the chamber. It was a fetid and goatish stench, wet, sour and putrid. The group tensed as the sound grew closer. Captain Reznov then grabbed his radio and again called in as his men closed in, not noticing the two massive red eyes peering at them from the darkness of the chamber, staring like bright orbs of death.

In Prague…

The devastation in Prague shocked the world. Klaus' forces easily decimated the pristine and beautiful city, leaving behind a smoldering and blood filled massacre. The Reaper Horde continued pouring into the city laying destruction to all in their path. Sitting way above the devastation on the streets, Theokoles grinned, holding his twisted and frightening sword across his shoulder as he soaked in the carnage and the madness. Blood caked his fingertips; flowing like miniature rivers. His eyes flashed as he gave a sinister chuckle.

"Is this enough? Is this enough carnage to satisfy me?" he asked standing to his feet, his long black jacket flowing in the wind.

"NO!" he said and slashed once with his sword. The eye blinked twice as the blade became surrounded in a brilliant and flickering red light. "More blood, more flesh to fill my belly. I want more, give me more!" Theokoles said and then gave a primal and wicked roar, his voice filling the air.

"Patience…patience my friend. You will have all the flesh you desire. Our mission here is done. Rashkor has acquired the artifact we need. Rogue is pulling his forces out. Theokoles, one final task remains. What little of the city stands…do as you wish" Klaus spoke to him.

Theokoles grinned, his fangs growing in length as he looked to the sky. "You slick son of a bitch. Alright then, have it your way." Theokoles said raised his left arm as he held his sword with his right.

The sky instantly began to darken, clouds began forming, the rumbling of thunder as lightning streaks danced across the sky. Raising his left hand, the ground below began rumbling.

Closing it, Theokoles watched as the sky brightened as dozens upon dozens of fiery meteors began raining down, striking all across the city. With maddening laughter Theokoles began to bring about the end of LOD's strike against Prague.

Lastly…

In New York, a strike of a much different magnitude was preparing to take place. The time was 7:00 pm. The location: Pur Environmental Genetics and Research Industries. A top notch pharmaceutical research company developing the latest in medical and biological innovations. A clever ruse; the organization was run and controlled by LOD, with the group using it as one of their many facilities where Klaus would conduct savage experiments. Tonight, this company would be paid very special company.

"This is it?" Jason Salvatore asked his older brother Ramone. Ramone nodded, looking down at the entrance to the facility. It had a security station, a check in as well as armed sentries patrolling the front entrance. "He's in there, I know it. I can feel it." Ramone said narrowing his eyes. Jason patted his shoulder, "Me too" he said with a smirk.

"Klaus is so dead" Jacob Salvatore said approaching his two brothers. He had a furious and murderous look, one which signaled his desire to see blood spill.

The Salvatore Brothers had finally tracked down where Lucian, their elder brother had been kept by LOD. Tonight they would see Lucian free and LOD pay for their deed.

Jason looked over Jacob's shoulder, "I take it this is our back up?" he asked. Behind Jacob stood dozens upon dozens upon dozens of Werewolves. The massive Lycanthropes stood in square formations, by rows of five. Their snouts curled in grisly snarls as they rumbled and flexed their claws. Wolves of all sizes; from 6 foot to 9 feet, some with brown fur, gray, silver and other shades.

Ramone said "These are wolves our dearest brother has shown great kindness to in the past. They offer their assistance to repay that kindness." He explained.

Jacob then said "Listen up. When we get in I don't care who gets in your way. Kill anyone or anything standing between us and Lucian. But know that most, if not all of you may not return. I do not know what exactly my brother has done for you all, but in honor of the Salvatore name we will allow you to fight by us, to save Lucian."

The wolves promptly roared in response. The three Salvatore brothers turned to their destination.

Ramone was dressed in black pants, black boots and wore a white long sleeved thermal and a black jacket with a high collar. Jason wore loose dark blue jeans, brown boots and a black tactical vest with no shirt. Jason wore loose black cargo pants, a black thermal with the sleeves rolled up, a dark blue denim vest and wore all black Adidas sneakers. Lastly, he had on a black baseball cap with a red bill. Tucking his cap on tight he signaled his readiness. Jason clenched his fist; Ramone sighed deeply as the wolves behind them gave a low howl.

"Big bro, hang on, we're coming for you man" Jacob said staring down at the street level. Ramone then reached for the two large duffel bags, filled with various automatic weaponry. Each brother armed themselves. Cocking a sub machine rifle, Ramone placed his foot on the edge and shouted "ATTACK!"

In a swift motion the Salvatore Brothers along with their pack jumped down from their vantage point, falling to the street level below as they began their assault.

End Chapter

I'm sorry this took so long. For the Egyptian portions it took a lot of research as I intend to stay somewhat realistic. I ended up just taking huge liberties with the actual King's Valley tomb site. I know this chapter is somewhat lacking but rest assured, I'm already hard at work on the next.

Coming up; The Salvatore Brothers lead an all out assault on the LOD facility, freeing their brother Lucian. Lucian then reveals to his brothers why Klaus had him taken, showing something devilish in his blood…

In Egypt, LOD forces attack the burial site. Captain Reznov and his men may end up making the ultimate sacrifice after they unravel Klaus' identity. Michael leads the wolf pack on a massive strike against LOD. Can they secure both Klaus' identity and the Anima device buried there?

Hellsing meanwhile secures their device, but more trouble looms ahead as Integra makes a shocking discovery. Stay tuned folks!
