Disclaimer: I don't own Darkstalkers, yadayadayada capcom does, yadayadayada damn law, yadayadayada must take over the WORLD!!..........hope no one noticed that.

John ran towards the park, and was a short distance away from the described meeting place, when a dark shade blocked out the moonlight for just a moment. "Who are you?!" John shouted to the dark figure standing a few feet in front of him.

"Stupid mongrel, to think you actually have the notion that you could defeat one of such a higher breed as myself," stated the shade with a Romanian accent. "Demitri...one the hell is an arrogant aristocratic bastard like you doing here?" John snarled at the vampire. "Insignificant whelp! How dare you disrespect your intellectual, physical, and evolutionary superior so!" Demitri screamed. "Shut up and fight you pansy bat-boy!" John said whipping out the infamous nunnchucks.

Demitri launched a blazing bat towards John who simply whacked it out of existence with a swift nunnchuck strike. Demitri shouted some foreign obscenity and charged John. John attacked with his energy dash but Demitri disappeared at the last second. The bloodsucker then appeared behind the werewolf with a corkscrew kick that John countered with an upward flask- kick. "Physical superior, huh?" John said with a smirk as Demitri landed on his back. At this point Demitri forgot his arrogance and attacked flat out with a flying kick. John tied his nunnchucks around Demitri's ankle and flipped him face first into the ground. However, Demitri landed his first hit with an uppercut that laid out John and knocked the nunnchucks out of his hand. John rose and they stood there for one minute...two minutes...sizing each other up. Then they charged, John landed a gut-punch that knocked the wind of Demitri, and the John grabbed Demitri by the shoulders and delivered a headbutt with a thunderous CRACK.

Demitri lay there, with a significant dent in his skull, but not dead. John could have finished him off once and for all but opted not to...he had bigger fish to fry.

Meanwhile...

"Where are we going? We don't know where to look," Victor shouted, trailing the merman by several meters. "The scene of the crime, man. We're headed to that building where Felicia fought Morrigan," Rikuou said turning into said building.

"Are we *wheeze* there *wheeze* yet?" Victor asked gasping for air in the stairwell of the Ramakazie building. "Yes, this is the door right here," Rikuou said opening the door. They entered on to the roof and could see nothing of importance at first glance. However, Victor's eyes caught sight of a piece of paper. "To find your friends...go to the Zoo," Rikuou said reading the note. "...Okay, let's hoof it," victor said. "Let's take the express," Rikuou said grabbing Victor and jumped off the roof of the 50- story skyscraper.

"What the FUCK were you thinking! I mean we are Darkstalkers but that had to be a 500-foot drop!" Victor screamed at Rikuou. "And people think I'm crazy," Victor added as the merman walked away.

They traveled for a-half hour or so until they reached the Zoo. They entered the gates and wandered for sometime until they reached the lion exhibit. "Muhahahahahaaaaaaaa," came a resonating voice, that's origin could not be determined.

"I'm amazed you were that stupid," said the voice, with a heavy British accent. "So yourself Raptor!" Rikuou shouted, looking around for where the ghoul lay hidden. "Sure mate!" Raptor shouted, jumping up off the top of the lion's exhibit and landing a few feet in front of the dynamic duo. "Raptor, when are you going to stay DEAD!?" Rikuou asked, facing the zombie. "You can't kill what's already dead, mate," Raptor answered. "Shut up, and tell us where Felicia and John are!" Victor said lifting Raptor off the ground, by the throat. "First of all mate, I can't say anything at all if you told me to shut up, and second. If you want to know anything you'll have to fight me and my little friend since two-on-one is a tad unfair," Raptor said with ease, even though his feet were a yard of the ground.

At his que, Pyron teleported into existence a few feet behind Victor and launched a fireball into his back. "Oh, crap," Rikuou said, looking at the flame demon's eyes.

"RAAGHH!" Victor screamed, attacking Pyron, and connecting with an electrified punch. "Come on fish boy, I don't got all night," taunted Raptor. At this Rikuou launched a sonic blast that Raptor jumped over and it smashed into the lion's den. Raptor retaliated with a diving chainsaw kick that Rikuou countered with a lobster claw to the groin. "Eeep" Raptor said as the red dots, that would be his eyes, contracted in unutterable pain.

Rikuou then turned his sights on Pyron, whom was standing on Victor's chest; preparing to sever the Frankenstein's neck with his transfigured blade-arm. Rikuou managed to attack with a tidal wave, which knocked Pyron onto the ground. Pyron rose and attacked, transforming himself into a flaming wheel. Rikuou and Victor lay side-by-side as the demon/alien/whateveritis stood over them, preparing the final blow. "Weaklings, how could low-levels such as you hope to defeat me?" Pyron chuckled, turning his arms into razor-sharp blades. "Like this!" shouted a voice as multiple spear-like implements impaled Pyron from behind. Pyron dissipated in a puff of smoke leaving a young girl, of fifteen or so, with bat wings on the top of her head.

"Just finish it, Lilith," Rikuou said to the young succubus. "How could I harm the one I love?" she replied with a seductive little smile. "Excuse me?" Rikuou replied with a very astonished look on his face. "Not you, silly, Victor," she said looking at the now awakening Frankenstein. "The- what-with-the-who-now?" Victor said hearing a piece of Lilith's and Rikuou's conversation. "Now, now, mommy will make it all better," Lilith said kneeling next to Victor, and a white light emanated from her hands and healed Victor's wound. "How's that, honeybear?" she asked with a warm smile. "Uhh...better, uh thanks," Victor replied scratching the back of his head, trying to figure out what the hell was going on. "Yay, goody!"she cried hugging Victor, thrusting his face into her breasts. "Whoa, hold on a sec there," Victor said grabbing Lilith by her shoulders and broke the embrace. "Look, I'm flattered, I think, but you're a little young," Victor said. "That's only because of that bitch Morigan who stole my real body," Lilith said in a pout. "If I got my old body back, would you be with me then?" she pleadingly asked. "Uhh..." Victor said, dumbfounded. "Yay!" she cried. "That...was awkward, huh Rik?" Victor asked Rikuou. Rikuou just sat there with a slack jaw as his brain tried to comprehend what just happened. "Rik, Rik, you in there man?" Victor said waving his hand in front of Rikuou's face and then snapping his fingers, trying to bring the merman back to consciousness.
