Chapter Two: Valek's History
Pre-reading done by M.F.S.
NERV Central Dogma
Gendo sits on his chair and reads the report on the recent attacks on the Pilots.
"Hmm, this situation needs attention," he murmured as he flipped through the complete reports of Dr. Akagi.
"There are no fatal wounds, no lacerations, no blunt weapon, no piercing weapon, no blades of what kind used but still the 3rd Child lost so much blood," he read as he leaned back and fixed his glasses, "But still there are only two deep wounds on his neck?" , 'Interesting.'
"Possibly inflicted by a… 'fanged' creature?" he restored the papers into order and got a small note posted by the Vatican Seal.
"It is a good thing Papa Profumi still trust me on doing what is right in front of them. Neither Seele nor the JSSDF had turned their attention at the Vatican."
'This will bode well at the scenario, however the recent attacks on the Third Child… concerns me.'
A bit hesitation in thing the word 'concern' for the Third Child his thoughts were disturbed by Fuyutsuki coming out of his private door.
"Gendo, it's true… Valek has returned."
He turned his head in alarm, "This is the reason why the Holy Father wishes to conspire with us."
"Conspire?" the old man with him had his brow furrowed," Conspire? I believe they severed ties to us when we unleashed Second Impact."
"They couldn't help it," Gendo stood and walked over to his glass window in one part of the Geofront's pyramid headquarters, "They will need NERV and its resources in their efforts to find their 'creation that has gone mad'.
"True," Fuyutsuki shook his head, "Valek was a tragedy, it was in the year 1666 I believe."
"Yes, 1666, the The Roman Catholic Church or Vatican founded the lust for eternal life."
The church sent missionaries abroad to study it. Valek Marcelo was a very unlucky candidate.
"Also it inflamed them of the prophecies of Second Impact which after more than a decade did it happen at Antarctica."
"Nevertheless Gendo," Fuyutsuki leaned back at a wall, "It still happened."
The High Commander of NERV nods his head in agreement, "Thinking that there will be no men alive. The Vatican took harsh decision in their hands and ended up with a monster that lives in blood from where it came rather than a real thing that actually works."
"I read the report of the exorcist that performed the conspiracy. Apparently the old priest that exorcised had died when the time Valek has broken free."
"Bring the report here Fuyutsuki," the old man obliged and took the report at a hidden drawer, "Thank you."
Gendo opened it and began reading, "Cardinal's log, May 10 1666. I Cardinal Da Brescia performs the only thing I wasn't sure why I'm doing."
May 10, 1666 / 0550 hours Vatican City
"The Vatican want something to do with the Devil," Cardinal Da Brescia shook his head, "The church had seen low days of its rulers, but this is the lowest of the low."
He observed a young priest who was busily instructing the sisters of his parish on what to do.
"Listen to me Sister Sophia," Valek a young man at the age if 25 is now a parish catholic priest, "Feed the children, and don't forget the meals of Gregory at exactly 9am."
"Yes father," Sister Sophia nods her head and smiled, "I never even wondered why you were a parish priest. But your kindness has touched their hearts."
Valek smiled, a tall man with long tidy hair kept to the back by constant combing and grooming. He nods respectfully and turns toward Da Brescia.
"Why would the Vatican chose this man, a caring young man who has nothing in his mind but to serve."
Valek bowed again and faced the Cardinal, "I am ready Cardinal."
"Very well Valek," he motioned for him to follow and slipped past a series of corridors and halls, "This work has been pick for you to be done Valek."
"I know Cardinal," he said reassuring the Cardinal, "Don't worry about me… Uncle.""I know you're a strong kid Valek," Da Brescia said, "But I don't want you to do this. Exorcism and Cleansing is very hard when done at the same time."
"Uncle, the pope wishes to see if we can control the Fallen for God's benefit."
"Well I hope," Da Brescia looked down, "I hope I lived through this."
Valek hugged the old man before opening a black door in front of him, "Don't worry Uncle, I trust you. And besides no one Exorcises and Cleanses anyone better than you."
Nodding his head, Valek positioned in a crucifix position. Da Brescia lit a candle and the 'offering' was brought in.
The man shouted and shouted but his gag muffled his cries. Da Brescia brought the intimidating Black Cross in front of him and prayed. The other's around him also joined and for half an hour recited the Hail Mary.
After the prayer he took a four bladed knife and approached the struggling man. He pressed the blade on the man's thigh and did a sliding motion. Blood oozed outside the man's skin and Da Brescia extracted a whole cupful of it. Seeing the rising sun to be seen at the horizon. He uttered the words that will summon evil spirits to their aid."I Da Brescia, Cardinal of the Roman Catholic church. Offers the blood of a Slayer of the Roman Catholic to the ones powerful enough to grant us eternal life."
Suddenly the blood in the cup Da Brescia erupted in flames but the lame stayed inside the goblet. Seeing it is safe he dipped his fingers into the blood and did the sign of the 'cross' at Valek's head.
He then drank the goblet's lot and dropped a few drops at Valek's lips. After that is done Da Brescia turned to his assistants.
"Burn the body of the Slayer so that the ritual is complete."
They were about to take the man away to be burned alive when suddenly the doors in the room burst open.
"STOP! IN THE NAME OF THE HOLY FATHER AND HIS SEER!"
"Who are you people?" he then sees the tattoo of a Slayer, "A Slayer, how dare you interfere?"
"This madness must stop," Sirius Crow said the great grandfather of Jack Crow stated, "The Pope doesn't want sacrifices to be made."
"Go away," Da Brescia, "The ceremony is not over, let the body burn and the ritual will be over."
One of Sirius's men raised his hand, "Our Slayer is still alive. Shallow breathing, but still alive."Sirius breathed a sigh of relief, "You see now? This madness will stop!'
"No."
"What?"
"No," Da Brescia said darkly, "The spirit is in my nephew! Let the ceremony finish."
"No! I won't let it!"
"Then there is no choice," the Cardinal pulled a dagger and almost jabbed it at Sirius's chest.There was a struggle and a moment later Sirius stood above Da Brescia's quivering body. Seeing what all happened and thinking his Uncle is dead, Valek's other self erupted deep inside him and consumed his rational thinking. he growled and showed his canine teeth to all the Slayers.
The brow in Sirius's head furrowed, "Take your weapons out, NOW!"
The Slayers with him about nine of them drew out their swords and muskets. (Come on, it's the 16th century. They still use swords and one shot muskets.)
In a blur Valek stood above two Slayers he thrusts his hands through them and punctured them. The two Slayers lay dead as the other's charged, he managed to jump at the wall and ran around the room while still dangling in the wall.
He isolated another two and with a battle cry slits their heads off their bodies. The head went rolling on the wooden floor with a 'THUD'. With his Slayers down to five he also drew his sword. Valek caught one in the neck and snapped it, just then a sword went from his back to his chest. But he just casually turned around grabbed the man by the neck, with a shriek of fury sliced the man's face with four claw marks on its face. Rendering that one unrecognizable at the face.
With three Slayers and the one attending Da Brescia's wounds now also stood up. The other two carrying muskets shot him. Feeling the bullets hit him, but now also feeling overpowering strength in him raised his hands cockily and lets the men shoot him. With ten musket fires already fired at his waiting chest, Valek still stood neither undaunted nor bothered at the bullets in him. Feeling more footsteps coming, Valek had enough and sliced the one shooting him in the neck. The other one suffered death by a thrust at his body.
Seeing panic he approached the last Slayer near him and grabbed the neck. Feeling hunger and bending to the will of the 'voice' he bit the man's neck. Like a sponge absorbing water Valek had his first taste of blood as a vampire. He dropped the quivering man and face Sirius Crow. Stealing another glance at his Uncle, he glided toward Sirius and got him in the neck.
"You killed my Uncle!" he threw Sirius across the room and broke a table in the process, "I'm going to kill you! And your whole family blood line!""I suggest you start now," Sirius said cockily, "Sister Sophia might have her hands full."
Seeing the hint in his voice he dropped Sirius down and headed for the windows.
"We will meet again," he takes one last look at his fainted Uncle and broke through the glasses.
Another second and the burst open again, "WE ARE THE KNIGHTS OF THE HOLY HEART!"
"Your late," Sirius spat.
"I'm sorry," the Captain bowed down, "But what happened?"
"How many men do we have in Valek Marcelo's orphanage?"
"About three teams of the Holy Heart's and one from the Slayers."
"We must go there."
"Why?" the Captain said unaware of Sirius's rage, "They can handle themselves."
He grits his teeth as he turned back towards the man, "Take a good look at this mess."The Captain winced at the carnage, "What happened here?"
"Valek Marcelo did this," he nods his head at the unbelief the Captain showed, "We have a vampire in our hands."
"A Vampire?" the Captain said, "Vampires were wiped out a long time ago."
"Unfortunately," he looked at Da Brescia, "Cardinal Da Brescia made one. Now let's go."
The Captain nodded as the other men recollected certain body parts of the victims.
Meanwhile Valek flew over Italy to his small orphanage at Germany.
"Please let the Children live," he prayed silently all the while knowing that he is now a Fallen, "Let them be alright."
He reached the ridge where his orphanage was and was horrified to see Slayers and Holy Heart Knight's storming the place. He swooped down and sliced the more heads off their owner's bodies.
He walked through the corridors and found Sister Sophia lying on the ground.
"Sister Sophia, Sister Sophia!" he screamed in her face as the old lady's eyes fluttered.
"Ah Father Valek," she said through heavy lidded eyes, "Don't worry the Children will never be harmed. But you look very pale Father Valek."
"Sister… oh Grandmother Sophia," his eyes watered and widened as Sister Sophia took a deep breath and her hand dropped down on the floor, "No… Grandmother… Sophia… No."
Realizing one thing is now done he laid her down slowly and wiped the tear off his eyes, "This shouldn't have happened if Crow hadn't interfered. I will bring this world a great gift, upon which Grandmother and Uncle didn't had the chance to feel its power."
The whole party sent by the Vatican gathered around him and Valek's eyes went blood shot.
"Time to die!"
Screams were heard and a shower of blood rained down of Sister Sophia's peaceful and smiling corpse.
( Come on, the Vatican 'IS' a nation. Of course they have an army of some sort.)
Morning came and the small orphanage was filled with the stench of drying blood. With that done and the sun rising in the horizon Valek stepped outside. But suddenly searing pain registered in his mind. He retreated inside the orphanage and realized one thing.
With a look of horror in his face, "I can't get out."
Event done
Gendo sat appreciatively, "Hmm, courtesy of the Vatican archives."
The old man nodded as he spoke again, "I shall see Shinji."
"What?"
"I believe I did not stutter or kept my voice low. I said I shall see Shinji."
"Very well," Kozo said, "I'll alert Section-02."
"There is no need," he said, "I wish to confirm something."
And with his infamous smirk left Fuyutsuki alone and headed for the NERV Infirmary.
