Return of the Vampire King
Alucard dodges multiple strikes thrown at him from the Leviathan Devil. Signaling his hand he resets the magic barrier around the house that Indra shattered.
"DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW LONG I SEARCHED FOR YOU DUMBASSES!" Serafall yells still trying to hit Alucard.
Seras remembers what she forgot, she nervously tries to calm Serafall down. "Wait, we're sorry" she looks at Alucard who hasn't dropped his smile. "Or at least I'm sorry!" She hugs Serafall from the back and restrains her. "Raynare! Some help!"
Raynare nods dumbly and helps to restrain the devil. 'I can't believe it, this is Serafall Leviathan. One of the four great satans. She's in charge of all foreign affairs and is said to be the strongest female Devil in Hell.'
"You bastard let me wipe that smile off your face!" Serafall says while swinging a stick at him.
Chuckling Alucard asks. "I assume you found your way here alright?"
Seras opens her mouth in shock at her masters jab. 'Why!' Seras asked herself crying.
With a tickmark Serafall begins explaining. "I searched all over bloody Europe trying to find you idiots! The church burned your house down so I couldn't investigate the area. So I searched the airports trying to find any trace of you guys to no avail. Then I checked the ports and what do I find? A charted boat headed from the fucking United Kingdom all the way to fucking Japan. Who the fuck takes a boat from fucking Europe to Japan!'
Seras sweatdrops and understands the insanity behind it. It wasn't even a cruise ship they took. They got there using an old freighter ship. It was a miracle the boat even made the journey.
"I spent the entire time trying to find the damn thing but a huge fog prevented anyone from actually finding it. Keep in mind the Church caught wind of my presence and sent Alexander bloody Anderson after me. He chased me all over the place nearly killing me a few times!" She calms herself down getting her breathing under control. "Then when I finally got to Japan the boat was already making the return journey home. So now I'm just walking my ass all over the place trying to find two pale idiot vampires and the only reason I found you was because the stupid wards of this house finally came down allowing me to sense a faint magical energy." She throws herself on the couch for some much needed rest.
Seras pats her on the back and tries to explain themselves. "Sorry about leaving in such a rush, it's just that we didn't even have enough time to pack our own stuff. The church quickly sent Iscariot over to kill us so we had to flee immediately. We were hoping to contact you on the way over to Japan however" Seras looks to Alucard. "We were concerned that they'd be able to trace the magical signature. But after settling in and when the heat died down we were going to call you! Honest." Seras says trying to cheer her up.
'The church has been acting real bold these last few days,' Alucard thinks to himself. 'Before they weren't really known for attacking out during the day, but Anderson's attack on us clearly shows the church's newfound resolve.' Alucard lost in his thoughts doesn't hear Raynare calling to him. 'The church faction has been struggling for a while now, especially with the Angels numbers decreasing and with no way to make new angels, their days are numbered. I'm sure Michael is doing everything he can, but he's no God.' He's broken out of his train of thoughts as Raynare shakes his shoulder.
"Master?"
"It's nothing" Alucard assures however Serafall doesn't agree.
"Nothing!? The church is getting bolder with their attacks! They just tried to kill me, one of the four great satans. If word of this gets around there will be a war against the two factions." Serafall argues.
"Your alive aren't you?" Alucard says nonchalantly. "If a war does start because of this, it'll be because you started it" Alucard explains.
"But if I don't do anything, the church will only grow bolder. Soon no doubt they'll try to attack one of the four great satans family members. Like their sisters." Serafall says obviously concerned about her younger sister.
Alucard sighs. He didn't like it but he did owe Serafall. "I'll watch over your sister."
Serafall and Seras brighten up at what he said. "Thank you!" Serafall hugs Alucard. "Thank you, thank you"
Seras smiles at Serafall's reaction. Raynare takes this opportunity to ask Seras a question. "How does our master know one of the four great satans?"
"I'm not entirely sure on the backstory either, but from what I understand apparently Serafall helped our master out at one point when he was close to death." Seras explains although not fully knowing the story.
"Our master close to death?!"
"Yeah, although I'm not sure who nearly killed him."
Raynare looks to her Master wondering what sort of monster could almost kill Alucard.
Serafall still hugging Alucard gives him a kiss on the cheek.
Alucard smiles and says "Besides I'm already working as a teacher in her school, so it shouldn't affect anything"
"Your a teacher there?" Serafall asks.
"Yeah" Alucard confirms.
"Although not a very good one to be honest" Seras says snickering. Suddenly two arms appear from behind her and start giving her a noogie. Seras cries out in pain trying to remove the arms but to no avail. Raynare watches in amusement.
Serafall chuckles at her antics and then notices Raynare. She gets a closer look at her. "A fallen angel?"
Raynare starts sweating. She knew she got stronger however against one of the four great satans even she understood she stood no chance against her. Raynare deciding to play it safe greets herself politely. "My name is Raynare, I'm a servant to our master, Alucard."
Serafall nods in understanding. "Looks like your building your own peerage. You know you could always join my peerage Alucard." Serafall offers. "You would be treated equally."
"Oh no I'm quite alright, besides Hell would just spit me back out" he says jokingly.
"Hmm alright then but if you ever change your mind you know where to find me." She turns to leave.
"Your leaving already?" Seras asks finally free from her masters grasp.
"Yes unfortunately. I have to report what happened with the Church to the other Satans. Don't worry I'll be back before you know it." She opens the door to leave. "Just don't leave without giving me a heads up on where your going." She gives a small wink and leaves.
"So what's the plan?" Asked Seras.
"I'll have some small creatures keep an eye on our surroundings and around the school." Alucard says.
"And the church?" Raynare asks. Seras also curious pays close attention.
"Leave them be, I will not got to war with them" he says serious losing his smile.
"Master with all due respect, they are hunting you specifically down. The Belmont's, Iscariot and the Hellsing organizations are hunting us down. At some point we're going to have to fight them." Seras argues.
"We will not make our presence known to the world. So far they just see us as powerful vampires nothing more. I intend on keeping it that way."
"But mast-"
"That's enough!" Alucard shouts. "If the church wants me dead they can try all they like! Let them come and kill me!" Alucard says leaving to his room.
Raynare stands their in shock as she's never seen Alucard like this. Seras only looks down sadly.
"Why was master so angry right now? It doesn't make sense, people are out to kill him and yet he does nothing about it! He could most likely defeat them on his own and with us at his back I'm sure we can take down the Belmonts, Hellsing and even the Church!" Raynare says clearly confused by Alucard's decisions.
"It's because he wants to die." Seras says while walking to her room. Raynare follows after her.
"Die? How come, he's a vampire shouldn't he be immortal. Isn't that the whole point? To live forever."
"Along time ago I asked him the same question. He told me the trick wasn't about living forever, it's about living with yourself forever." They enter their room. "I've tried to help him heal from those wounds however it doesn't seem to help. Maybe that's why he saved me all those years ago. Maybe he was hoping to bring something new into his life. But perhaps I'm not what he wanted." She finishes with sadness in her tone.
"But that doesn't make any sense? What could he have done to not want to live at all." Raynare questioned.
"I don't know," she thinks back to the story about him and the woman. 'I don't think he told me the full story of what happened, he said they killed him and yet here he stands before me a vampire.' She looks at Raynare "Whatever it was, I don't think he even has the strength to live anymore. He hasn't fed in a long time and… I practically had to drag him away from Europe and into Japan." She sits on top of her coffin. "He likes to put up a strong front however every so often you can see the look in his eyes"
"The look?"
"The look of a man who's tired" Seras finishes saying.
They stay there in silence until Raynare asks a question. "So," Seras looks at Raynare. "How do we help him?" she finishes smiling. Seras returns her smile and cries a bit. They both hug it out with Seras finding new resolve in helping her bring their master out of a pit of despair.
Over with Alucard he can be seen sitting in a chair in his room with a glass of blood by his side. He struggles to lift the drink into his mouth but then quickly throws it away shattering the glass and spilling the contents.
"This is ridiculous" Alucard says. "Alive for so long and yet accomplished nothing. How pathetic…" he looks up at the ceiling "isn't that right, no life king?"
Over with Issei Hyoudou and his friends they can be seen sitting around the clubroom with a dead Asia on the table.
Issei mourns over his fallen friend. "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry." He grabs Asia's hand. "I failed to protect you." He says as he weeps
Rias looks at him with pity in her eyes. She could resurrect Asia however without twilight healing Asia would just be a regular Devil. Asia did have potential with magic but Rias current situation was dire. She couldn't just use up a Devil piece on anyone that needed a second chance on life right now. However she could delay Asia's death.
"Issei" Rias calls to him gently. Issei looks up at her with red eyes. "I can't save Asia right now, however I can save her later if we get twilight healing back."
Issei looks at her with hope in his eyes. "We can?"
"Yes but we would need twilight healing" she looks at Asia's body. "However we can only resurrect a person who's been recently dead. Meaning we have a limited time."
Issei quickly stands up. "Then we have to find them!"
"Calm down Issei." Rias commands.
"But like you said we have a limited amount of time!"
"Yes which is why I brought one of my other peerage members to help us out." Rias says. Suddenly the door opens up and in comes Akeno with one other peerage member.
"Issei, I'd like you to meet Gasper Vladi, my bishop."
"H-he-hello" Gasper greets everyone while quickly hiding behind Akeno.
Issei confused by this looks to Rias for an explanation.
"Gasper has a tuff time dealing with strangers but after explaining our situation he was willing to help us." Rias clarified. "His power allows him to stop time, so my plan is to have him freeze Asia in time, not allowing her to pass on to the afterlife. If that is what you still want."
"Yes" Issei answers after looking at Asia's body.
Rias nods and signals Gasper. Gasper steps forward and sticks his arm up freezing Asia in time.
Issei stares at the process with a burning hatred. 'I swear Asia, I'm going to find the bastard that took your gift, and I'm going to kill him. When I get my hands on that bitch Raynare I'm going to strangle the life out of her.' He thinks to himself glaring angrily and hatefully.
Rias looks at Issei seeing his hatred. 'Your anger will boost your sacred gear. I just hope you don't let your rage consume you.' She thinks back to a scary bedtime story her mother told her a long time ago. The story about how a man's rage nearly destroyed the whole world. 'Let's hope Issei doesn't become like that fairytale.' Rias thinks to herself.
Over in Hell Serafall enters a room with a round table surrounded by four chairs. Sitting on said chairs were three great Devil Kings. At the center sat Sirzechs Lucifer, in charge of Domestic Affairs. To his left sat Ajuka Beelzebub, in charge of Technology Development. To Sirzechs right sat Falbium Asmodeus, in charge of Military Affairs. Then sat Serafall Leviathan, in charge of Foreign Affairs.
"Satans" Serafall greets.
Sirzechs smiles at her presence. "Serafall so glad you could make it on time."
"Yes seeing as how you've always found a way to be late." Ajuka says teasing her.
"Though I suppose it's better than not showing up huh Falbium?" Sirzechs teases at his friends lazy personality.
Falbium laughs it off and waves his hand in surrender.
Sirzechs turns back to Serafall. "So, what news do you bring?" He questioned.
"About a week ago I was attacked by the Iscariot organization" she says in all seriousness. This got the rooms attention. "The church sent out one operative after me, Alexander Anderson."
"The Bayonet Priest" Ajuka says.
"The very same" Serafall confirms.
"Where you injured in any way?" Questioned Sirzechs.
"I was," Serafall confirms. "He chased me through the streets of Europe and nearly killed me three times."
Sirzechs angered by this close his eyes. The room shakes.
"Calm down Sirzechs, Serafall survived that's the important thing." Falbium reasons.
Sirzechs calms down "yes, thank you Falbium". Falbium nods.
"What are we going to do about them" Falbium asks. "They have been interfering with a lot of our younger devils operations for quite sometime now and have even begun to target high profile targets, as proven with Serafall."
"We can't just rush in blindly either and go to war with Iscariot either." Ajuka argues. "They may not exist on paper however there's no doubt that they're working for the church. If we go to war with Iscariot then we also go to war with Michael and his angels."
"But we also just can't let them prey on our younger generations either." Sirzechs adds worried about his little sisters safety.
Serafall decides to add something. "I've taken the liberty to secure the safety of Sirzechs and my little sister."
Sirzechs perks up at this. "Who?" He asks.
"A vampire" she answers.
"Where does his allegiance lie?" Questioned Ajuka.
"With no one." She answers.
"Then why does he do this?" Questioned Falbium.
"A long time ago he was close to death however I found him and healed him. He owes me a debt." She explains.
"What is his name?" Sirzechs asks.
Serafall smiles. "Alucard."
The room is quite for a moment as the name sinks in until Sirzechs asks another questions.
"Serafall, do you trust him?" Sirzechs asks with a serious tone in his voice.
"With my life." She says without hesitating.
"Very well, if your willing to go that far for him then I cannot complain." He says while leaning back on his chair.
Smiling Serafall says "you won't regret this, he's really strong" she says grinning.
"We still have to deal with Iscariot" Ajuka brings the topic back to the table.
"Yes, but what should we do?" Sirzechs asks. "I would rather avoid an all out war if possible. However as things stand I doubt we will have much of any choice."
"Why don't you let me handle this one." Serafall says grinning.
The three great Satans look at her. "What did you have in mind?" Sirzechs asks.
"I would like to create peace between the three factions if possible."
All three widen their eyes at her proclamation. Of course they wanted to make peace if possible but after an attack on one of the four great satans. It wasn't viewed as a possibility anymore.
"Serafall they tried to kill you, what makes you think they'll listen?" Questioned Ajuka.
"Call it a hunch. But I believe there's more to this plot than meets the eye. Besides I'll be discussing this peace treaty with two other people first before we reach out to the heads first."
"Who were you planning on discussing this with?" Sirzechs asks.
"I plan on talking with Penemue, Chief Secretary of the Grigori faction." The three satans nod in acceptance.
Serafall breathes in and out. "And Gabriel the Seraph." She finishes.
"What!" Yelled the occupants of the room.
"I thought she was dead?!" Questioned Ajuka.
"As did I" Sirzechs added.
"But if she's alive then that means-" Falbium is cut off by Serafall.
"That peace is still an option." Serafall finishes.
It was well known how much Gabriel hated the wars that were waged and would constantly try to make peace. Even with the wars that happened outside of her own faction. She was often called upon to act as a mediator between the two conflicting factions. But with her sudden disappearance it was assumed she died bringing the idea of peace along with her.
"So your plan is for the three of you to create a small truce for the rest of us?"
"Essentially yes however the real goal will be to find a place for all of us to unite and make peace. If we are to make peace then all of us need to be there not just us three." She clarifies.
Sirzechs nods his head in understanding. He looks at the other Satans to which they nod as well. Sirzechs getting the go ahead stands up alongside the other three greats Satans. "Very well then Serafall, we leave this to your care"
Serafall nods and bows before leaving the room.
"She's gotten quite serious hasn't she" commented Falbium.
"Indeed, despite her playful nature she's quite the serious woman." Ajuka adds.
"I'm grateful for her, without her I doubt we'd be here today trying to create peace." Sirzechs adds. The other two great Satans nod in agreement.
"And what of this, Alucard?" Falbium brings up. "I've never heard of this vampire before and yet Serafall trusts this man's strength against the Iscariot organization? Something isn't adding up"
"Indeed. An unknown vampire that only Serafall knows and apparently kept his existence a secret." Ajuka adds.
"Perhaps we should schedule a visit with our little vampire friend" Sirzechs says. The other two nod in agreement and begin walking away from the table.
"We'll have to meet up later about that but for now I'll see you guys later." Falbium shakes their hands and leaves.
Ajuka and Sirzechs walk out together still talking.
"If we go to war with Iscariot I'm not confident we'll survive this one" Ajuka gives his honest opinion. "The Bayonet Priest is a dangerous foe, capable of killing even ultimate class devils."
"Yes I know" Sirzechs says frowning. "Let's just hope Serafall's peace negations go well"
"And if she's assassinated?"
"Then we'll be dragged into another war rivaling the Great War." Sirzechs says with a downcast expression clearly wishing to avoid it.
Ajuka smiles and tries to cheer him up. "Not to worry I'm sure Serafall will have this well in hand. Besides you'll have us right beside you." Ajuka says smiling.
Sirzechs looks to his longtime friend and returns his smiles. "Yes, with all of us working together there's nothing we can't accomplished." They leave the room together, reminiscing of the past they shared.
Unknown by either of them a lone bat falls to the ground transforming into a vampire. His eyes glow red. 'Alucard?' The vampire thinks to himself. 'It's not a name I'm familiar with, but perhaps he'll feel inclined to join our cults mission. And if not, he'll be offered as a sacrifice like the rest.' The vampire turns into mist and leaves making his way to Japan in search of this Alucard.
Over in the Grigori faction Azazel is seen throwing paper airplanes around. His office doors opens and in comes Penemue carrying even more stacks of papers over to him. Azazel sees the documents and bangs his head on the table groaning.
"The faster you review these papers the faster you can go back to tinkering with Sacred Gears." Penemue said.
"But it's so much work" groaned Azazel.
"Work you'll have to do on your own right now since I'll be busy for a while." She said while turning and leaving.
"Busy? Doing what?"
"I'll be handling peace negations with both the Devil and Angel factions". She explains turning her head to him.
"What?!"
"You boys were taking too long to decided anything so Serafall summoned us to handle the arrangements. That way you'll have less things to worry about."
Azazel cries and jumps over he table hugging her legs. "Thank you! I didn't want to do all that work!" He cried out rubbing his face on her legs.
Penemue moves and kicks Azazel off of her. "You know I really wish our leader took his role more seriously." She said annoyed by Azazel's personality.
Azazel picks himself up and dusting himself off. "No but seriously thank you. I'd rather not have to deal with all that so if you could handle it then it's better for me."
"We can only pick the neutral zone to decide everything and discuss the terms of the peace treaty however it can't be legalized without everyone's presence. So you will have to put in some effort." She explains.
"I see. So you'll have the peace treaty and the spot ready for all of us to join together. Still better than having to spend hours discussing even the most smallest of details." He says gratefully and excited. "With the peace treaty signed I can focus more on Sacred Gears." He said excitedly.
"That's only if it's signed."
"I'm sure it will be." He moves to sit back into his chair. "The three factions don't care for war anymore. With our numbers being depleted no one would dare risk a full scale war."
"All but one person" Penemue reminds Azazel of the one fallen angel bent on war.
"Has he been found?"
"No, our scouts have been looking for him to no avail however he was last spotted in Japan."
"Japan? I like Japan, I would hate for anything to happen."
"Especially since two of the great Devil kings sisters are there as well, and any harm to them will immediately throw peace negations out the window, and quickly ignite another Great War."
"Hmm, if Kokabiel wanted to start another Great War those two would make prime targets, however" he stops to think.
"However what?"
"However how would Kokabiel drag the angels into the war?" Azazel finishes.
Penemue and Azazel stay in silence trying to figure out how Kokabiel intended on dragging the Angels into war. Suddenly the door is opened and in comes a white haired boy,
"Vali!" Azazel greets with Penemue just nodding her head at Vali.
"Hey old man, if Kokabiel is so much trouble just let me handle that bastard."
"We don't even know where he is and by sending you into Devil territory that alone could spark a war." Penemue explains.
"Tch how irritating." Vali says.
Azazel smiles and suddenly thinks of an idea "I think Vali has a point. What if we send in Vali undercover to see if he can find Kokabiel?"
"He'll have to be really deep undercover, which means no divine dividing at all until your able to locate Kokabiel." Penemue says.
Vali thinks it over. "It shouldn't be a problem hiding my presence and blending in with the locals. However any dragons in the vicinity will feel my presence regardless of whether or not I'm hiding my presence.
"We've confirmed one dragon user" Penemue says. "A young recently revived Devil by the name Saji Genshiro, his sacred gear is part of the Vritra's Sacred Gears."
"What about the other one? The one Raynare was supposed to observe." Azazel asked.
"We've lost contact with them for a while now. We sent a small scouting party however no trace of them remains." Penemue reports.
"Hmm, something is definitely happening over there. But at the very least we have our heading. Vali investigate Raynare's disappearance. I'm sure whatever you find will help lead you to Kokabiel."
Vali nods and asks "And if anyone should stand in my way?"
Azazel sighs. "Do your best not to hurt any of the devils or priest there. I'd rather not be the one to start another Great War. Simply observe and report. However if you find Kokabiel, bring him in alive. He will be punished accordingly."
Vali nods and leaves the room heading for Raynare's last sighting.
"Do you believe he'll listen?" Penemue asks.
"Yes and no. I'm sure he won't cause too big of a scene however he'll probably try to meet with the other dragon boy you talked about. Hopefully the kid isn't hotheaded and tries to attack Vali." Azazel says laughing to himself.
Penemue nods her head in understanding and leaves. "I'll be heading out now."
Azazel nods in approval. After she leaves Azazel sighs and leans back on the chair "I'm trying to create peace over here and my faction might be the one to prevent it from happening at all. With Vali looking for stronger opponents, Kokabiel trying to start another war and Raynare missing it'll be impossible to handle everything at once." He rubs his nose. "Best I take things one step at a time. I'll trust Vali to find Kokabiel and Raynare. I'll deal with trying to keep the peace within my own Grigori." Azazel doesn't notice a tiny bat behind him.
'Hehehehehehe?' The bat chuckles to himself. 'More and more powerful beings are making their way to Japan'. The bat was strangely excited at this piece of news. 'Guess I should report this to Kokabiel.' The bat grins and leaves the room via turning into mist.
Over in Heaven the angels can be seen playing beautiful music. Michael makes his way up a flight of stairs until finally reaching a door. He knocks gently.
"Gabriel? Are you in there?" He received no reply. Sadden by his sisters lack of response he knocks again. "Gabriel I- I would just like to talk. Everyone is worried sick about you and it's been so long since you last left your room." Still no reply however the door slightly opens. Michael took it as an invitation to enter the room. So without hesitating he fully opened the door shining light into the room. He looked around and could see scattered papers everywhere around the room. The walls had been written on, even the ceiling. He looks to the bed to see a lump there. He walks over and sits on the bed.
"Gabriel?"
Gabriel sits up from the bed revealing her face, her figure and her wrinkled clothes. "Michael." She greets. Gabriel, a young looking beautiful voluptuous woman, she has blond hair and bright blue piercing eyes which were now covered by a black cloth. She wore a open gold and black outfit.
"Gabriel you've been cooped up here for too long, please let me help you." Michael pleaded not able to bear watching his sister live like this.
"I know" She said sadly. "I must look pretty pathetic right now." She looks around her room. "I spent along time trying to find him, but," she stops to breath choking back a sob. "I think it's time I accept the fact that he's dead." Gabriel says.
Michael frowns knowing of the man she speaks of. Truthfully he never liked Dracula however he also understood that he brought Gabriel happiness. So he never said anything about it or rather he chose to ignore their secret affair because it made his sister happy.
"I know he murdered our father, I should be angry with him. I should hate him and yet I couldn't stop loving him." She explains.
This hurt Michael even more for he knew the truth of what really happened but could not say anything. The death of God was a kept secret and the killer of God an even closer secret to all except the angels and a select few.
"Brother."
Michael faces her giving her his undivided attention.
"It's time I stopped mourning for my father and… my love. It's clear to me that they are both long dead now." Gabriel gets up from the bed. "It's time I returned to my duties." With a wave of her hand all the papers and writings on the walls vanished. Another wave of her hand and she once again shines brightly and appears even more beautiful and vibrant. "Brother I've been invited by Serafall to begin the negations for a peace treaty." She says while walking out of her room with her brother following close behind.
"Peace negations?" Michael asks puzzled.
"Yes, I'll leave immediately to meet with them." She says while passing by multiple angels. The angels turn their gazes to see the most beautiful woman of all of Heaven. Finally after all these years she revealed herself once again.
"Them? Who else?"
"It'll be the three factions, us, the devils and the Grigori factions." She explains.
"But you've just gotten up wouldn't you like to rest and let someone else handle negations?" Questioned Michael worried about his sister.
"I've rested long enough brother and it was me that was requested so I'll be the one to go." She says not changing her mind at all.
Michael sighs and nods his head in understanding. 'She's got the same spark in her that she had all those years ago.' He thinks to himself. "Fine, go but please be careful. A lot of strange reports have been coming in so please don't hesitate to call for backup."
Gabriel nods in gratefulness and teleports away leaving Micheal alone with his thoughts. 'Dracula, I don't know where you are right now, but I'm glad you decided to stay away. She's finally getting you out of her head so please, if you love my sister just continue to stay away.' Michael pleads hoping Dracula will stay away.
Over with Gabriel, she can be seen walking in an abandoned house surrounded by a great forest. "My love, do you remember this house?" She asked herself. "You built this house for us to be together, away from everything." She walks into a small bedroom. "This room was supposed to be for our child" she says silently weeping at the dream that never happened. She envisions herself with a small boy with gold hair and red eyes. Suddenly a man appears in the vision hugging her son and kissing her. The man had long black hair and red glowing eyes, Dracula.
She cries at the false memory. "I'm sorry I wasn't there for you," she says dropping tears. "I should've looked harder for you but after the report of your death, I just couldn't anymore" she drops to her knees weeping loudly now. She lost the man she loved, she lost the man she would marry, and she lost the man she would have a child with. She leaves the house and turns to face it. With teary eyes she removes the ring her love gave her all those years ago and places it on the front door. She backs away and sets the house on fire burning everything. Gabriel weeps while teleporting away leaving everything that reminded her of her lost love to burn.
The house finally burned down leaving nothing but a black ring with a red jewel behind covered in ashes.
Over at the Vatican a man with long white hair can be seen kneeling before the pope.
"Hmm I see, so we've failed to kill Serafall Leviathan then?" The Pope questioned.
"Yes your eminence, the devil managed to escape our relentless pursuits." The man bowing confirms.
"I see, that is unfortunate. But I'm sure you did the best you can."
"Of course your holiness, however with your permission we would like to continue our assassination attempt. Our spies have discovered the location of where the devil went. Her destination was Japan."
"Hmm. It will be quite difficult for the XIII division. I hate having to put you through such dirty jobs."
"Please do not concern yourself your eminence. Please use us, Iscariot, as you see fit. We are but God's soldiers killing the impurities. And once we die we shall continue to kill the impurities in hell." The man proclaims smiling devilishly.
"Very well Maxwell. Enrico Maxwell. Send in Division XIII to Japan. Kill the Devil so that we may once again purify the land with our Lords loving embrace." The pope said while stretching his arms out as though he was about to hug someone.
"Yes your eminence" Maxwell bows and leaves the Vatican. Once he steps outside he's confronted by a blond priest.
"Our orders?" Questioned the priest.
Maxwell smiles and says "To search and destroy all who oppose the Lord! Anderson, you will head to Japan. Find the Devils and cut off their heads in the name of our Lord!" Maxwell says.
The now named priest smiles. "Yes, the land of the rising sun shall taste my bayonets." Anderson replied. He turns to leave. "I'll be heading out immediately! Don't worry about sending in the rest. I alone will be more than enough." Anderson says while leaving, headed to an airport.
Maxwell smiles. "Indeed. If it's you I'm sure you can kill the devil. Go Anderson! Go to the rising sun and let them feel the holiness's embrace! We of Vatican section XIII shall never stop crusading! Our holy war has yet to even start!" Maxwell says while grinning. "Those who oppose our lord shall die and all who follow shall rise!" Maxwell turns to face the church spreading his arms wide ignoring the people looking at him.
"Come, ye children, hearken unto me: I will teach you the fear of the Lord!" Maxwell finishes laughing.
'You won't get away this time little devil' Anderson thinks to himself while walking away. 'Now then, get your equipment—your quiver and bow—and go out to the open country to hunt some wild game for me.'. Anderson thinks to himself, thinking about this line from the Bible believing God to be sending him on a hunting mission.
Over in Romania a large man with blond hair can be seen entering a private jet. He sits himself down looking out the window of the plane. "I've never been to Japan before." The man smiles to himself. "It'll be a nice change of scenery, wouldn't you agree? Integra Van Hellsing." The man looks to his right at a dark skin woman who is currently smoking a cigar.
The woman blows out smoke. "We're not going there for pleasure Belmont." Integra reminds him. "Our reports indicate that the vampire Alucard has made his way to Japan." She finally looks at Simon. "Your only here with us so that we can make sure you don't stand in our way this time. You broke numerous treaties before with us when you invaded our territory."
"Oh come on! I wasn't even targeting you, it's not my fault the damn vampire fled into your territory." Simon argued.
"Be that as it may your little chase caused a lot of damage. The queen nearly ordered for your head."
"Tch" Simon looks back out the window. "What a thankless old hag."
"Careful there Simon, it's a long flight from here to Japan."
"Oh? Are you offering to," he looks her up and down. "Relieve me of my stress?" He asks suggestively.
Integra smirks and snaps her fingers. Suddenly Simons cheek is cut.
Simon wipes his cheek and sees blood on his hand. He stands up and looks behind him. "So the worlds greatest vampire hunter makes his presence known" Simon says glaring at the man before him.
"Do try to show some class Belmont. It is a long flight and I would rather not have to listen to your constant blabbering." Walter says walking forward towards Simon.
"You think pretty high of yourself don't you?" Simon reaches behind him and pulls out a brown whip. "Let's bring you back down to earth."
Walter glares at Simon and twitches his fingers. Both stand in silence glaring at each other.
"That's enough! Both of you stand down. I'd rather not have to pay for another plane." Integra says rubbing her head. 'It's amazing really. We're all fighting against the same enemy and yet we can't help but first want to kill each other.' Integra thinks to herself.
Walter bows his head slightly and apologizes. "My apologies Sir Integra." Walter passes Simon and takes a seat next to Integra. Simon also takes a seat to the left of them.
"Remember Simon our opponent is the Vampire Alucard. His strength has never before been seen in this day and age." Integra reminds him.
"Yes my family where practically pushing me out the door when they saw Alucard, although I'm not sure why" Simon says explaining his situation. "They yelled DON'T COME BACK TILL HE'S DEAD! Then they kicked me out" he explains with an annoyed expression. "I barely had time to grab all my supplies."
"They didn't tell you anything about him?" Integra questions confused.
"No," he shakes his head. "They just literally threw me out and told me where he was last spotted. Which is why I ended up dueling him in your territory. Which again sorry about that"
Integra nods in understanding and begins thinking to herself. 'Do the Belmonts know something that we don't?' She looks out the window. 'Alucard is most definitely the strongest vampire of our time, however with the everything going on I'm just not sure why the Belmonts would risk open war with the other organizations, all in order just to kill Alucard.' She looks back at Simon who's playing with the seats. 'Does Simon truly not know anything or are the Belmonts really trying to keep something a secret. So secretive that they couldn't tell their strongest operative.' She looks back out the window. 'I suppose it doesn't matter anymore. From the looks of things the three main organizations have sent their strongest operatives to Japan. Alexander Anderson has got a head start on us however we aren't far behind. The question is where will our confrontation be?'
'The vampire Alucard, for whatever reason you've caused quite a stir within my family.' Belmont thinks to himself. 'From our small skirmish I could tell you were a cut above the rest of the normal vampires I normally fight. Though I didn't witness anything impressive.' He grins. 'Let's see if your worth killing or not.'
Walter closes his eyes deep in thought. 'Alucard. I hold the title of the worlds greatest vampire hunter, however I was not able to kill you that night. I've fought in countless battles and I've won them all and yet I couldn't finish you off. There's no doubt in my mind, you are currently the worlds most dangerous Vampire of this day in age. I can't call myself the greatest until I've successfully killed you.' Walter opens his eyes staring forward, thinking to himself of the multiple way to kill Alucard.
In an unknown location Indra enters an abandoned monastery. With his hands in his pockets he looks around the room staring at all the statues. Suddenly another figure makes his presence known.
"What can I help you with Indra?" A blue skin man asked. The most notable feature was his four arms.
Indra turns to him. "The Nosferatu lives," he explained. "Shiva, this monster should be considered the biggest threat against humanity."
"Why? It's been over a few hundred years since his last crusade against humanity. I doubt the man's rage runs that deep," Shiva responds with a bored expression. "Besides even if he is a threat I'm pretty confident in my abilities, if you want I can head right on over and kill him."
"Don't underestimate him," a new figure makes his presence known.
Both Shiva and Indra look over to see Buddha walk over to them. Buddha towered over them reaching 6.5 feet. He had light green hair tied into a bun and wore a black tank top.
"Dracula is a monster capable of killing even the strongest of God's and demons alike." Buddha adds reaching them.
Shiva sweats a bit but grins. "So? What's the plan about him then?"
"Right now three of the worlds strongest monster hunters are on their way to Japan." Buddha said.
"Japan? Seems like a lot of strong people are making their way to Japan" Shiva said smiling.
Indra looks to him. "What do you mean?"
Shiva who hasn't dropped his smile explains himself. "First we have it's natural residents the Youkai, the nine tailed fox, which has an impressive fire ability. Then we have the two younger devil sisters, Rias and Sona. If anything happened to them no doubt all of Hell will be dragged into another war. The Hellsing organization which contains the strongest vampire hunter on earth, Walter C. Dornes. The Belmonts with their black magic and holy artifacts. The church themselves have sent their strongest operative to Japan, Alexander Anderson, who has been sent to hunt down the devils. The fallen angel Kokabiel has also taken residence there and has begun making moves against the three factions. Multiple vampires have also been reporterd in the area. And last but not least Dracula, the Nosferatu, the no life king. Even you Indra were drawn into the area." Shiva grins maniacally. "How did you even find him after all these years?! Seems to me like someone's orchestrating all these train of events. It's like someone is actively trying to gather everyone to Japan." Shiva explains smirking.
Buddha furrows his brows and looks to Indra. "How did you discover the location of Dracula?"
Indra turns to Buddha. "Ophis was the one who told me of his whereabouts," He explained.
"Ophis?" Buddha questioned while raising one eyebrow. "Why would she do that?"
"Perhaps she was hoping they would kill each other," Shiva says not dropping his smile.
Indra shakes his head. "It doesn't matter anymore. What matters now is what do we do with this knowledge and how do we go forward with this."
All three gods release a bit of their auras as they think of what to do with this newfound information.
Over in an abandon church Kokabiel can be seen sitting on a small throne with multiple beings surrounding him covered in black cloaks and on there knees.
Suddenly mist enters the room, the mist moves towards Kokabiel who uncaringly watches it move in front of him. The mist transforms into a vampire. The vampire was pale and tall. He wore a black tattered cloak and on his back was a case.
The vampire bows before Kokabiel mockingly. "I've returned"
Kokabiel glares at the vampire in front of him. "What is it, Varney?"
"Azazel has sent the vanishing dragon to Japan, to find you" Varney says still smirking.
"Tch, it makes no difference. He won't be able to find us and even if he does he won't be able to bring down the barriers surrounding the church." Kokabiel arrogantly believes.
"Yes the barrier, the same one that I just snuck into?" Varney asks sarcastically.
Kokabiel glares even more hatefully at the vampire in front him.
Varney seeing his killing intent backs up in a mock surrender like fashion. "Easy there Kokabiel I'm only trying to help."
"Help? Is that your idea of help? To annoy me?" He asks wanting to kill the vampire in front him.
"No it's my advice" Varney smugly explains.
"Advice?"
"Yes, my indisputable advise." Varney walks back and forth in front of Kokabiel explaining his plan. "You wanted to start another war, but you didn't have enough troops for one. So you enlisted the vampires for aid did you not" Varney asks already knowing the answer.
"What of it?"
"You promised the vampires something didn't you." Varney adds causing the room to become tense. Suddenly multiple eyes looked up revealing the red crimson eyes of the vampires in the room. It became noticeable, there were more vampires present than there were fallen angels.
Glaring Kokabiel answers "yes".
"What did you promise them?"
Kokabiel's eyes are shadowed. "If they fought for me in my war, I-I would resurrect their fallen leader."
Varney smiles big and says "say his name". Kokabiel doesn't say anything. "Say his name!" Still no answer. "SAY HIS NAME!"
"VLAD DRACULA TEPES!" Kokabiel yelled. Suddenly the vampires in the room went into a feeding frenzy at the sound of his name and began devouring the weak fallen angels.
Varney laughs out loud holding his stomach. "YES! YOU PROMISED TO REVIVE THE WORLDS MOST DANGEROUS BEING, VLAD DRACULA TEPES! THE MAN WHO KILLED GOD THEN HIMSELF! THE MAN WHO NEARLY DESTROYED THE WORLD TWO TIMES!" He yells while the vampires feast on the dead fallen angels leaving only one fallen angel left alive.
Kokabiel doesn't care about the dead fallen angels, they could always be replaced. He was more concern with what Varney was planning by bringing this back up.
"Kokabiel you wanted to start a war and the vampires will help you with that. But you don't even have the slightest idea of how to resurrect him do you?" Varney asks grinning. This catches to vampires attention causing them to turn their gaze at Kokabiel.
Kokabiel was confident he could kill all of them but then he would have no army. "No"
Varney still not dropping his grin continues. "I figured as much". The vampires angry at Kokabiel's deceit walk towards him with anger in their eyes. However Varney stops them. "Hold on friends, our friend Kokabiel may not have any idea, but I do" he finishes.
This stops the vampires as they decide to listen to what Varney has to say.
"We've captured plenty of beings already haven't we?" Varney says, the occupants nod their heads. "So far you have been using them for your feeding, but we can do better." He explains. "If we can gather a large amount of people in an area we'll be able to sacrifice them to open a portal into the guts Hell and bring back Dracula."
The vampires are excited by this but gathering a huge amount of people would be difficult especially if they didn't want to be caught. You couldn't just kill a large group of people and not have people come searching for them.
"We'll drag in the three factions to one area and begin the ritual. The war will start and so will the killing, and with every death it'll fuel the portal. They won't even realize it until it's too late." He explains.
Kokabiel thinks his plan through but wonders how does he intend to drag the angels into war. "And the angels? How do you intend to drag them into a full scale war?"
"With these" Varney removed the case from his back and throws it to the ground revealing the holy swords.
Kokabiel's eyes widen in shock. "How did you get these?"
"Does it matter" Varney says not wanting to go into depth about how he acquired these.
Kokabiel doesn't trust him but still understands the fortunate position they are in. "With these we now have the means to drag the three factions back into a full scale war."
"Indeed, use these swords to capture the sisters of the two great devil kings and once they arrive, kill them with it." Varney finishes explaining his plan satisfied.
"A most ambitious plan, Varney. However you haven't explained how to resurrect Dracula."
"While I was spying on Azazel I heard them talking about making peace with the three factions. There are three women meeting. Serafall from the devils, Penemue from the Grigori and Gabriel from the angels. I'll need all three women for the operation" He fished with a smile.
"Gabriel?!" Kokabiel screamed. "I thought she was dead!"
"No she's well alive and has that burning passion back from all those years ago" Varney finishes smiling.
"Why are you not concern, if Gabriel lives then peace is still an option!" Kokabiel explains angrily.
Varney shrugs. "She couldn't stop the first war, she won't stop this one. That woman has been asleep for too long, the times have changed and we've all been preparing for this moment for a long time. It won't stop because some naive angel with a failed relationship decides to create peace."
Kokabiel glares at Varney at the mention of her failed relationship.
Varney simply smiles and tests the waters a bit. "If your that worried about her don't worry, I'll be dealing with her personally. All three of them in fact." Varney assures.
"And what prey tell do you intend on doing with them?" Angry with the thought of using Gabriel.
"That's for stage 2" Varney explains.
"Which is?"
"None of your concern Kokabiel. You just focus on starting the war, I'll focus on reviving Dracula." Varney turns to leave. "I'll be starting the preparations, I trust you'll deal with the devils?"
Kokabiel stands and nods. "I'll capture the young devils, when do we start the war?"
"In three days, when the moon is full." Varney says smiling and leaving. The vampires go back to feasting.
Kokabiel leaves the room and enters deeper into the church. "That bastard, I'd kill him if I didn't need him alive. Tch." He enters another room. The room was dark with the only thing in there being a red carpet leading to a large picture frame. He kneeled and bowed before the picture frame. "My love, so you live." He states. "Finally our love will be able to blossom, right? Gabriel" he looks up at the picture frame revealing a painting of Gabriel.
A/N: Alright another chapter down I hope you all enjoyed this one and I'll see you all on the next one also I read the reviews and it gave me a lot to think about. I was actually intending not to really focus on Issei and his gang but I see how it would be nice to see the consequences of the actions taken. I hope I did better with the story telling and with the Grammar. Leave a review and let me know how it was, thank you.
