I do not own any characters from Underworld, the Matrix Trilogy, or Angel. I own Thaddeus and Gabriel though. This is an AU sequel to my Underworld Alternate Ending that I came up recently and I had to write it because the idea wouldn't get out of my head.. And this is NOT set in the Matrix universe, it is set in the Underworld universe, just with several matrix characters that have been modified so they would fit in the Underworld universe (it's a crossover thing)

The plot: After Viktor's death, Lucian leaves Hungary and travels to the USA (in this one Marcus doesn't become a hybrid, so Lucian and Michael are the only hybrids). One night he gets ambushed by several warriors, and they take him to their boss, who is known as the Merovingian. Lucian ends up joining him, and gets involved in a deadly game of war, involving a law firm run by a powerful half demon.

Cast List:

Michael Sheen...Lucian

Lambert Wilson...Merovingian

Prologue

The full moon lit up the dark night, unnoticed however, by the figure perched up on the rooftop.

Lucian stared down at the humans below as they moved throughout the street. Sometimes he found it amusing as to how oblivious they were about what had gone on for the past six hundred years. The war had drawn to a close, however. Two elders had been killed, the oldest, Viktor, by Lucian's hand himself. Lucian's vengeance had finally been completed by taking the life of the elder, ever since he had taken her away from him.

"Sonja," Lucian whispered to himself as he raised his hand and clutched the pendant wrapped around his neck, the only thing he had left of his beloved. He closed his eyes, and he saw her beautiful face, her emerald eyes, her loving smile…

His eyes snapped open at the noise. He heard footsteps from behind him. Lucian didn't bother to turn around; he knew that it was a vampire just by the smell. He wasn't in the mood for a fight, not tonight.

"Whoever you are, please leave," he said aloud. When he heard the footsteps stop he stood and turned around. The vampire who stood before him was tall and well built, with long black hair. He wore all black with a long trenchcoat which billowed around him from the wind, giving it the appearance of a cape. The vampire smiled, revealing long fangs.

"Are you Lucian," he asked. Lucian tilted his head to the side, and looked more carefully at the vampire. He smelled like a vampire, but at the same time, he didn't. Something wasn't right.

"Yes," Lucian said finally. "Who are you?"

"My name is Vlad," he responded as he moved foreword. "And my boss wishes to see you as quickly as possible."

Lucian smirked. "Really? Well yell your boss that I have better things to do."  As he replied Lucian turned towards the edge of the rooftop and prepared to jump off. Before he could move however, a pair of feet came out of nowhere and smashed into his face, knocking him to the ground. Lucian quickly rose to his feet and stared at the second newcomer. This one was shorter than Vlad, with short brown hair. He remained in a crouched position, and he smelled similar to Vlad did, but unlike Vlad, who smelled like a vampire, this one smelled like a lycan.

"You're coming with us, whether you want to or not," the 'lycan' replied before leaping foreword. Lucian quickly moved out of the way however, as the lycan's boots came smashing down where he had just been, causing the concrete to crumble under the force of the blow.

Lucian leapt to his feet, his blade popping out his coat sleeve. He slashed at the lycan, only to have him dodge the attack before lashing out with a kick. Lucian also dodged before backhanding his opponent. The lycan however, rolled with the blow and kicked at Lucian again, this time being successful as his foot smashed into the hybrid's jaw, stunning him long enough for the 'lycan' to uppercut him, knocking him into the air. Lucian quickly landed however, spitting up some blood before his eyes changed to a pitch black. His fangs grew, as he prepared to transform into his hybrid form.

He never got the chance however, as a hand came out of nowhere from behind and chopped down on his neck. Lucian gasped as his legs gave way, as if the nerves had been severed. As he fell to the ground, he suddenly felt a blade held to his throat. Looking up he saw his attacker: a man in all white, complete with white dreadlocks. He wore a pair of shades, which was odd considering it was night. In his hand he held a razor with a handle that looked like it was made out ivory.

"Hey, put the razor down. The boss said he wanted him alive," Vlad said to the razor-wielding man, who glanced back and forth between Vlad and Lucian, before finally putting the razor in his coat and lashing out with a kick to Lucian's jaw. As the hybrid fell and landed on his back, he heard Vlad remark, "There, that wasn't so hard was it? Now, let's get him back to the Merovingian."

The Merovingian…? Lucian had heard of him on several occasions. What does he want with me?

But before he could think of an answer, Vlad came up to him and brutally punched the hybrid, knocking him out.
