Vampire Bund, Tokyo, Japan, 2011.
After quickly heading back home for a few minutes, I put on casual clothes and holstered my combat handgun and knife just as I left and met up with the others. Garcia and Ruri were understandably surprised at seeing me armed, but Mina explained about my job without revealing too much about what I was. Once we traveled around the city for a while, we arrived at our destination where the two vampires guarding the apartment door stood at attention.
"We're here to make a deal with Harvey, so could you let us in?" Mina suggested and the two vampires nodded with looks of nervousness as they opened the door.
I was told to stay outside so that I could keep an eye on things, and I agreed, I stood on guard at attention until Mina and the others left the apartment to meet up with me.
"Ah...Princess..." Ruri whimpered and Mina smiled reassuringly.
"Don't worry, because Harvey's appearance helps him survive. Beneath that surface, he's everything but small. I can't help but assist all living creatures by any means possible...I guess you could call it a chronic condition. It is possible to prevent humans from becoming vampires and when I'm made aware of it in time, I must try and revert them...anyway, I have decided that you will go back to being human again since that is your wish," Mina declared just as Vera approached us with her phone.
"Your Highness, it's Lord Wolf," Vera informed her and Mina took the phone.
"Yes...yes, I understand," Mina agreed and hung up as she looked at us.
"Sorry, but I must return to the Administration Building immediately so it can't be helped," Mina notified us.
"Did something happen?" Akira inquired and Mina looked at him.
"Just the matter about the foreign substance in the vaccine...all we know is that it's artificial," Mina explained which caused Akira to widen his eyes in shock.
"So, this was sabotage Ma'am?" I asked.
"All I know right now is that this case...has very deep roots. I also have to look at it from a different angle so don't be concerned about it," Mina assured.
"Th...thank you very much," Garcia said gratefully.
"It is fine since I was pleased with you, especially your name," Mina remarked as she and Vera left, prompting Akira to blush and scratch the back of his head in embarrassment.
"Ehm...the Princess said something about a "chronic condition". What the hell was that about?" Garcia inquired after a long silence.
"Huh?" Akira wondered in confusion.
"I lived in Brazil until I was seven, so Japanese is still difficult for me to understand," Garcia clarified.
"A chronic condition usually refers to an illness that affects you for a long time. It might get better at times, but it never goes away. It becomes your fate to learn how to manage it and live with it," I explained quietly while looking at the nearby buildings.
"Fate...my fate..." Garcia muttered under his breath.
"Excuse me, but are you Brazilian with Japanese ancestry?" Akira changed the subject.
"Yes...I think I'm the fourth generation of immigrants. My mother was originally from Brazil but I'm mixed race...are you also mixed race?" Garcia asked curiously.
"You noticed? You could say that...in my case, my mother is Japanese," Akira notified him.
"And what about your father?" Garcia inquired.
"Uhm...it's quite difficult to explain. What about your family situation?" Akira changed the subject since he didn't know how to explain that he was a werewolf.
"Well, I had a rough childhood. Have you heard about working far away from home? That's how it was...many Brazilians in Sawayama yearned for work and so did my family," Garcia explained.
"There must've been many things that you couldn't get used to, right?" Ruri inquired.
"Even today, there are still things that I can't...10 years have passed by and I'm still perplexed by it...10 years? I never thought that I have been in this country for this long..." Garcia trailed off with a pensive expression.
As we all watched the nearby buildings and listened to the sounds of the people, I heard footsteps and looked to see Harvey being carried by a woman as they left the apartment.
"Sorry that I kept you waiting. That boy...your friend, he's a world class idiot. Fortunately for you, he has been rescued," Harvey told Garcia.
"What do you mean?" Garcia inquired.
"That kid was showing the vials with the vaccine in public, asking 'what is that?' so we were able to trace him," Harvey clarified and Garcia facepalmed in disbelief.
"Oh meu Deus, that fucking idiota!" Garcia groaned in exasperation.
"Talk about a complete dumbass..." Akira agreed with a scowl.
"So, where is he?" Garcia asked.
"Well, that's the problem...all of a sudden, someone had suddenly come out of nowhere and taken him away," Harvey stated.
"What? So, where the hell is he then?" Garcia questioned in shock.
"Well, apparently, it was done by a group of young women, all of whom were dressed like gothic maids," Harvey explained and Akira breathed a sigh of relief.
"Gothic...what the hell is up with that?" Garcia wondered in confusion.
"You don't need to be concerned Mr. Fujisaki since we know who has your friend in custody. Stay on our six," I ordered as Akira and I signaled for him and Ruri to follow us.
"All we need to do is wait until sundown," Akira said as we walked through a crowded area and stopped on a sidewalk.
"What? Masaki was kidnapped so are you sure that it's okay that we don't go to where he was taken to?" Garcia asked with a frown.
"The situation is under control because the individual we are waiting for is arriving pretty soon," I stated just as Alphonse pulled up next to us in his car.
"Talk about one hell of a thing to happen for you to call me, huh?" Alphonse remarked with his trademark smirk.
We all got into his car and Alphonse drove us down the street that eventually led to the highway.
"So...who is that?" Garcia inquired after a long silence.
"Alphonse Medici Borgiani, you can just call me Alphonse. I work for the House of Tepes so I'm just an Aristocratic big-shot," Alphonse explained.
"Not to mention a 'behind the scenes' expert," Akira quipped and Garcia muttered something under his breath.
"Isn't the phrase 'behind the scenes' a bit rude? My official position is a guard and counter-intelligence agent of the main house," Alphonse stated.
"We should focus on why we are here and why we called you in the first place. The newborn you have in custody, we need to question him," I chimed in.
"Unfortunately, that's not possible," Alphonse refused.
"Before we argue on the jurisdiction, maybe you should explain why we aren't allowed to question him," I suggested with a stoic expression.
"Because he is a survivor of the botched raid that you carried out, Captain. A thorough interrogation is taking place because it's necessary to gather critical information," Alphonse explained, prompting Garcia to lean forward with eyes widened in shock.
"That's not it! We didn't come here to do this, because Masaki and I were under duress at the time!" Garcia exclaimed in frustration, causing Akira to look back at him.
"Calm down! This guy was at the warehouse and involved in the theft of the vaccine, but he didn't do it voluntarily so please don't put any blame on him," Akira informed Alphonse.
"I see...I need to listen to your part of the story, so I'll accompany you," Alphonse declared while looking at Garcia in the review mirror.
"Wait, I don't know anything!" Garcia pleaded frantically.
"Remain calm, because Duke Borgiani and his people are under the supervision of the Princess so they know better than to go against the pledge they have with her," I reassured while watching the buildings pass by.
"My, my, the Princess sure does like the common people," Alphonse remarked.
"The only thing we want is the vaccines the newborn has with him, and nothing else so we need to question him," Akira said.
"I'm sorry, but that's not going to happen," Alphonse stated.
"What?! Why the hell not?!" Akira exclaimed in disbelief.
"Because he's no longer at the location anymore since he fled the area," Alphonse elaborated and explained, "Just when we were about to take him in, we were attacked by unknown and well-trained individuals which gave the newborn a chance to escape in the confusion. He fled the scene very quickly while we were fighting off the shooters."
"You didn't think to notify us about this earlier? You seem to have a habit of not informing us about the situation until it had already happened," I pointed out dryly.
"Dammit!" Akira shouted in frustration while Garcia also looked none too happy.
"What do we know about these individuals?" I inquired.
"It's most likely the bombers," Alphonse said.
"That's impossible because all of them were turned into ashes inside the bar..." Garcia trailed off with an expression of anger.
"That might not be the case since they seem to be more organized than we thought," Alphonse theorized, and I recalled what Mina said and wondered if it was an inside job.
We eventually pulled up next to an alley and Alphonse lit up a smoke.
"Are you going to search for him?" Alphonse asked us as we got out of the car.
"That's what we are about to do," Akira replied as Alphonse got out and sat on the hood.
"We should cooperate on this search. But due to the sabotage in the vaccine manufacturing, we don't have enough personnel working on it so the more people involved the better," Alphonse stated just as the head goth maid appeared.
"At your service, my Lord," the head maid announced.
"She'll guide you to the crime scene," Alphonse informed us as he dropped the cigarette butt.
"Our guardian?" Akira questioned with a wolfish grin while Alphonse got back into the car.
"Heh...be very careful because this area is far different than what you're familiar with. This is the immigrant sector and the vampires here don't take kindly to outsiders," Alphonse warned grimly.
"Copy that," I agreed just as he drove away and left us alone in this bad part of town.
"Well then...shall we go?" Akira asked the head maid, who didn't say a word as we followed her into the alley.
While we were walking, I saw shady looking male vampires leering at us while the female ones shot us sultry looks. I adjusted my jacket a little so that the male and female vampires spotted my holstered gun and knife, showing them that I'm armed and wouldn't hesitate to use them.
"After all the time I've been in the Bund, this is my first time here..." Akira trailed off while he kept an eye on the shady looking vampires.
"This is like a Favela," Garcia muttered while looking tense at the glares that were being shot at him and the rest of us.
"Stay on high alert...we are in an extremely dangerous territory so keep your heads on a swivel," I instructed while resting my hand on the butt of my gun.
"Excuse me, where are you taking us?" Akira asked the head maid, but she stayed silent which caused him to scratch his head in confusion. Suddenly, a nearby noise startled Garcia and Ruri while I unhooked my gun and knife holsters.
"Ruri, stay close," Garcia said when he noticed that the alley was suddenly empty, then the head maid turned to look at Ruri.
"Are you...Ruli?" the head maid wondered stoically, taking Ruri by surprise.
"Eh...What?" was all Ruri could say until she was cut off when Akira quietly shushed her, and I pulled out my gun and knife when I heard something fast approaching us.
"What is it?" Garcia whispered as he moved Ruri closer.
"We have unfriendly company approaching," Akira informed him while I had my knife in a reverse grip and my gun aimed down the alleyway we had just come from.
"I don't hear anything," Garcia stated just as swarms of vampires came into view with claws and fangs bared.
"We have enemy contact at our six o-clock so watch your sectors!" I chimed in and noticed that the head maid was gone.
"Shit, she's gone! Were we lured into an ambush?!" I thought in alarm while Akira was telling Garcia and Ruri to run.
The newborn vampires ran down the alley we were heading through and I started fighting back with slashing and shooting the vampires, weaving under a swipe and hitting the vampire's throat with the barrel of my gun. As the vampire choked, I shot his heart and head with only two shots and hip tossed another vampire to the ground just before I killed her with a single shot to the head. Eventually, Akira and I killed the vampires that were out for blood and we rushed down the alley to find Garcia brutally beating a vampire while Ruri was standing near unconscious vampires with a look of pure horror.
Akira hurried over to grab Garcia's wrist in an effort to stop him from killing the poor man, and he was taken aback slightly when Garcia shot him a feral expression with black eyes.
"Akira! It's over, now stand down before you kill the man!" I ordered and Garcia snapped out of it, looking at the scene in shock and staring at his hands in disbelief.
"By God's grace...what have I become?" Garcia wondered, heading over a small trash bin with a lid so that he could sit on it and I knew that the infection was progressing as the time passed by.
A/N Finished, and I finally decided when David will become a vampire/werewolf hybrid.
It will happen during the global bioterrorist attacks and David will team up with Chris Redfield, Leon Kennedy, and Jake Muller to take down Neo-Umbrella and The Family but there will a person working for Neo-Umbrella that we all know very well who will go after David out of revenge for him killing Mei, then the final battle against Telomere and its leader will happen a little differently than the manga had depicted and you know that things will get intense and satisfying once David faces off against the leader of Telomere and kills her for the mentally scarring torment she put him through most of his life.
As for the person who will go after David for revenge during the events of RE6, he is a character that is well known in RE3 but I'm not going to reveal who it is yet since I want it to be a surprise. So, how do you all like the thought of the Grim Reaper teaming up with Chris, Leon, and Jake to fight against bioterrorism? Do you like what I have planned for David? And how do you think the fight against David and the leader of Telomere will occur or turn out? Let me know by putting down your answers in a review or private message since it would be nice to hear your thoughts on my ideas. That's all for now everyone, so stay tuned.
