YAHHHHH!!!! Sorry about the update delay! But, a little busy with a story I've been trying to write, I kinda forgot. =^-^= Forgive me! Anyways, new chapter.

Oh yeah, this chapter will be short, but not sweet; horrible, in fact. Sorry, I'm in a rush for updating, so forgive me.

*******************************************************************

Eve was not at all amused. She already was jeered at from her performance before of robbing a bank for money.

She suddenly smiled, blocking a punch from Hyde. Of course. Master Morse never said they had to fight them all single-handedly; she would leave the League distracted with a small foot soldier. After all, they had already wasted enough time with the dud they believed to go boom.

She glanced back at the bomb and cursed the Devil's Luck; two of their companions have already started trying to disarm the bomb. Dammit!

She came back to the vampire, who was trying to slash her face, which she succeeded by taking a swipe at her cheek. Eve stumbled back, glaring hatred at the redhead.

"Is that all you have? I expected better!"

"What are you complaining about? We're the ones winning here!" Tom's voice broke in, still trying to get a clear shot without injuring Dorian, Hyde, Mina, and Edie. Allan had decided to go check on Nemo and Skinner's progress, which they had only 10 minutes left.

She began to sweat from frustration; she had no other choice but to use him. She gave Dorian a clean swipe with her blade, leaping onto a lone crate. She would be able to climb onto a pile of crates that was next to a building to get away.

She smirked. "Sorry, Morse is calling for me. However, I promise to leave you a friend to fill in my place! Calvin!"

She was so glad Morse had allowed her to take Calvin with her, who had hidden in the shadows. She blew them a mocking kiss, then disappeared into the darkness.

Mina started forward, only to be knocked down by a gloved hand. Snarling, she and the others were greeted with shock to see a handsome blonde man looming over the fallen vampire, his cold blue eyes glimmering with lust.

"So you're the one Dracula's knocked up, eh? He said to us all you were like fire, something he never had before."

He looked up to see Tom, Dorian, and Edie (as a hyena) glaring. Mina was even worse. Hearing the name of the 'man' who had brought her curse on her, she glowered with hate, springing up to her feet gracefully. She whipped out her faithful daggers.

Hyde started forward. He was glad that Jekyll had enough courage to bring two; during the whole Eve battle, he had to transform back into the weak doctor, taking another potion. He had maybe 8 or 9 minutes left, the same time as the bomb.

The man raised an eyebrow, a little shocked when he saw the brute charge towards him. He snarled, his face soon becoming a face familiar to Mina's. His eyes had blinked to blood red.

He growled demonically, revealing his white fangs. He swiftly, with bats trailing behind him, dodged Hyde, running straight towards Allan, Skinner, and Nemo.

Tom took his twin pistols, going for distractions. He fired them rapidly, hitting the vampire's shoulders; he screamed in pain, turning around to glower at the American. He changed his mind for the other three's blood, going for the youngest member.

Tom frowned, trying to reload. Edie rolled her canine-eyes, leaping onto Calvin. He tried to throw the Hybrid off him. Dorian waited for a chance to be able to take a swipe at the man, with out harming Edie.

She was finally thrown off. She leapt back to her four feet; she pondered whether she should change into brute force, like a bear or tiger. Not that her current form was bad, but still, some others were better.

Dorian slashed at the vampire. Calvin snarled under his breath, "So you're the pretty immortal. Look's like you aren't so bad at fighting after all."

The immortal smirked coyly. "I suppose I should take that as a compliment, correct?" With that, he jammed his sword right into the vampire's gut, giving him a shove with his right leg into the closed store.

Mina began to follow after the man, as Tom joined Dorian's side. "You think they got it?" he asked, nodding to the other men.

Dorian turned. The men at the bomb sighed, a look of relief coming over their faces. He turned back to the American with a smirk. "I'd say they did the task."

Both men looked back up at the battle; Mina was already at the man, both vampires in a heated battle. Hyde seemed slightly uncomfortable; perhaps the transformation and the fact of just standing there were the causes. Edie began her ghastly transformation back into human, to which they turned away quickly.

Mina finally knocked the vampire off his feet with a swift moment of her legs, leaning down to grab a crate. She broke off a piece of wood, ready to plunge it directly into Calvin's heart.

Apparently the male also fought with daggers, as he jumped to his feet quickly, slashing at her face. Mina screwed her face up to clear the scratches away. Dodging, she finally was able to get behind him, slamming her head on his neck. As he howled, his hands flying to his neck, she swiftly came back in front of him. She took a clear shot, heaving the wood straight into his heart.

The vampire screamed, his pale face becoming a sick green [S.B. Okay, I know, lame Vampire death, but it was the best I could come up with!]. His skin started to shrivel up, almost sinking into him, so you could see the organs and skeleton inside him want to

Mina rose to her feet, just in time to see Hyde transform back into Jekyll. She walked over to him, unaware Tom's gaping mouth.

"Okay, I don't think I want to see another vampire's death," muttered Tom. Dorian shook his head.

"I think my 'death' was worse. I turned into dust and a skeleton," he said, snickering gently at Tom's revolted look.

"I'm gonna forget what a normal death looks like, hanging out with you people. You people are just plain strange," the agent grumbled, putting his pistols back around his waist.

"Well, we ARE t`e Extraordinary Gentlemen, ain't we?" Skinner put in, coming up behind the two. He was grinning, even after the whole bomb thing.

"Very original," Dorian mumbled.

Mina helped Jekyll to his feet, which involved her wrapping her arms around his naked torso. They blushed furiously; good thing the three men weren't looking, otherwise they would probably be in shock.

Edie saw, however, her black eyes gazing at the two longingly, mostly on Mina. She sighed. Lucky man; did he just take this for granted, or did he really appreciate it? He pondered on this, walking over to Allan and Nemo, both wiping their foreheads. As it was her first time seeing Hyde's transformation, she was a little sickened; maybe talking to the two elders would calm her down. Huh, she doubted it. His transformation was a lot worse than hers, she thought.

"So, good work," Edie said, nodding at the two men. Even for humans, she had to admit they did a good job in disarming. She secretly was hoping they would be able to pull it off, but she denied it.

Allan nodded, suddenly grinning at the sight of Mina and Jekyll, both trying to avoid each other's faces so the other wouldn't see the redness in the cheeks. 'Interesting,' thought Allan. Nemo, when he saw it, just nodded, turning his dark eyes on the other three men, who had no knowledge of the sight.

Mina walked over to them, Jekyll now able to stand and walk on his own. She cleared her throat, looking at the doctor quickly before handing a small note to Allan.

"I found this," she started, as the other three walked towards them, "on the soldier's jacket. Most likely another one of Morse's riddles."

"God, I `ope t`is is the base! I'm bloody sick of t`is!" Skinner broke in, pretty much voicing everybody's opinion.

Allan opened it, frowning at the words. "'I am certain you are all wary at my child's play, so I shall give you all a token of my appreciation. My castle is in a small country called Korea. Just on the southwestern tip of the peninsula of Asia, you will find my home sweet home. I'll wait for a week and one day, until I set out to inject the formula into all the waters of the world.'"

"Well, that is a little kind of him, isn't it?" Dorian sardonically asked.

Tom frowned. "But, why in Korea?"

Edie inhaled deeply. "He always said Asia excited him, with their culture. He's most likely already infected the small country."

Nemo jerked his head at the shape-shifter when she infected. "Does that mean he might go for the countries of Asia first?" She nodded.

"It's not definite, but I'd say it's a good chance he will." The captain cursed in Hindu. He guessed his country would be one of the first to go.

Allan, noticing his friend's distress, glanced at the others. "Of course, I assume the Nautilus will be able to get us there in time? We might be able to destroy his fortress, or castle, as he refers it to."

Nemo looked back up, for once his hardened looks softening so everybody would notice, or at least see quickly. "Certainly. However, we aren't making much use here. Come on!" he barked.

As the team set back to the Nautilus, Tom and Skinner met eyes and grinned. Some taunts were coming into the men's heads about this.
