His job, his curse, is to vanquish evil. This is what he had just done. He is very good at this. Of course he has had a lot of experience. Several hundred years of experience that is. And now that he has just finished doing what he does best he had to return to HQ.
Van Helsing works for the Vatican. Also known as the Knights of the Holy Order. A group of monks, priests, etc. This is the group that gives him his assignments and provides him with what he needs. Just as they gave him the mission to kill the red demon. Now that he was finished he had to report back. Most likely just so he could get hassled for plowin through the side of a church. He could see Cardinal now saying "Out of all the buildings you could have destroyed why did you have to choose a church?"
Apon reaching HQ Cardinal Jinette was waiting for him outside. Jinette was the head honcho. The man with the plan. The.. well you get the point.
"Out of all the buildings you could have destroyed why did you have to choose a church?"
Ignoring this comment, Van continued. "So if you already know that my mission is complete I assume there is some other reason I have been asked to report back?"
"Well," started Jinette, trying to sound as sorry as possible (not very possible). "The mission isn't exactly completed."
"You know, I really was hoping to get one night of rest," Van said with a sigh. "But duty calls I guess."
"Thats the spirit. Your beuty sleep can wait."
Cardinal began to walk in, motioning for Van to follow. Not that he needed to motion. Van already knew where they were going (To look at charts!)
Jinette removed a small piece of paper and began to explain. "This is a map of..."
"Transylvannia," Helsing interuppted.
The memories were still very clear to him. They always would be. He was on a mission to kill Dracula in Transylvannia not much more than two years previously. Unfortunately Dracula was not the only to die. He had met a woman in Transylvannia. Anna Valerious was her name. She was the last of the Valerious family who had sworn to kill Dracula before the entire family had died. This they did suceed at but Anna also died. The worst part of it though is that it wasn't Dracula who had killed Anna. It was Van Helsing.
"We do understand if you don't want to.."
"No!" Van protested. "The Valerious family swore to rid Transylvannia of Dracula before they died and now I swear to rid Transylvannia of all evil before I die."
