Chapter 13

Akin's last hunt pt. 2

"Alright does everyone know what they have to do " Xander asked as he and Kendra finished doing a little recon on the warehouse.

"Yes Alex, However your plan is dangerous and wreckless in the extreme." he states with a frown. "I think i like it."

"Good." Xander said with a smile. "Now everybody get in position." he ordered.


"In just a little while sweet pea, I'm going to kill your little friends." Daihawk says with a smirk.

"When Xander get's here, he's going ta kick your ass " Dierdre yells at him from her position in her cage. Daihawk just smiles at that.

"Such strong language from a cute little girl. Maybe I'll keep you around as a pet." he says as he is suddenly struck with a wave of vertigo. Realizing what this means he stands to his feet.

"Showtime." he mutters under his breath. Before he had a chance to issue orders to his vampires, the warehouse door suddenly explodes and a black car drives through.

Using his magical abilities he sends a fireball down to the car. To his surprise it doesn't explode. Suddenly the canopy of the car opens, and Daihawk see's that the car is empty.

"HA HA HA HA HA HA HA." a voice laughs maniacally with an echo from behind the car. Suddenly someone with a black mask, with three red shrieks steps through the fire, with a shotgun slung over his shoulder. Daihawk see's that it's his oldest enemy.

"It's been awhile, Hunter." Daihawk say's taking his katana out of his jacket.

"Too long." the Hunter says dropping his shotgun and then taking out a sword of his own. With lightning speed he runs up the steps and engages Daihawk in a sword fight. He's totally oblivious to the vampires coming out of the shadows.


As soon as the Hunter ran in the club, Sheila came right up behind him. Seeing vampires come out of the shadows she quickly takes out her 9mm's and starts to fire out into the crowd. As the vamps turn into dust and ash, a pair of strong hands come out of the shadows and tosses her into the air.

As the vamp went in for the killing blow, the skylight suddenly explodes. Landing on a table in a crouch, kendra takes out a stake and flings it at the vampire hovering over Sheila. The stake hits him in the heart and he dust's screaming.

Sheila nods to Kendra in thanks. Kendra nods back, just as a vampire football tackles her off the table.


Not caring to watch the girls or Xander fight , Mr. Zabuto makes it over to Dierdre's cage.

"Come on let's get you out, little one." he says to her.

"Look out " Dierdre shouts. But it's to late. The vampire Mercury comes up behind Mr. Zabuto and hurls him into a wall, where he crumbles on the floor in a heap, unconcious.


"You've gotten quite good over the year's Hunter." Daihawk says as the two warriors circled each other.

"You too, but I think that's because of the warrior you possessed." he says as he slips a hand in his duster pocket. "Let's see what we can do about that " he yells as he throws a brown powder on Daihawks face.

Daihawk quickly starts to spasm and he claws madly at his face. Collaspsing to the floor in a heap, a black mist comes out of Duncan McCloud. As the mist solidifies, it turns into a hulking demon with big horns and glowing red eyes.

"Ahhhh... there you are." the Hunter says as he runs at Daihawk full force.


As Sheila and Kendra finished off the rest of the vampires, they look over by a far wall and see a vampire hovering over Mr. Zabuto. As they attempt to run and rescue him, three more vampires emerge out of the shadows.

"I'll take care of de vampires, you get your Watcher." Sheila says. With a nod of her head Kendra makes a run for her Watcher and Sheila engages the vamps in a fight.

As Kendra reaches Mr. Zabuto she quickly punches Mercury in the face. The force of the blow sent Mercury almost eight feet away.

"Mr. Zabuto are you alright " Kendra asks helping him to his feet.

"Yes my dear, I'm fine." he says as he stabilizes himself up on the wall.

"Not for long." a voice calls out. Looking up they see that it's Mercury running towards them with a long metal rebar in hand. They wouldn't be able to move in time.

"Noooooo " Mr. Zabuto yells as he jumps in front of Kendra. The metal rebar went right through Mr. Zabuto and into Kendra as well. The force of the action sent both of them off their feet were they were embedded into the wall by the rebar. Their blood seeped down on the floor in puddles.


The demon uses his magical ability to make Duncan's sword appear in his hand.

"It's finally time for us to end this game, Hunter." Daihawk says in a grave dark voice.

"Let's." The Hunter said smiling under his mask.

Daihawk holds his sword out at a ceremonial angle. The Hunter does the same. The weapons are clanked together twice, then pulled back into battle position. The two begin walking a circle, poised swords waiting for an opening. Daihawk leaps first, his clash of steel ringing off the high walls. Another attack without result.

The Demon and Hunter are panting heavily, after a few minutes of fighting. The demon goes low. The Hunter blocks. The demon comes overhead quickly with his sword. Hunter misjudges and the blade slices deep into his shoulder and chest. The impact knocks him flat on his back. Daihawk looks down on his wounded prey.

"Goodbye, Hunter." he says as he raises his sword up high.

The Hunter suddenly thrusts his sword up and into Daihawks heart. The demons mouth drops open in shocked terror as his eyes roll up into his head. A shudder, then Daihawk slides off the blade and crashes to the ground. Dead. It's finally over.

As the Hunter stands to his feet his mask crumbles into dust. The curse is finally lifted. Looking up to the ceiling, Xander prays under his breath.

"Rest in Peace, Akin Bembola. May you find some happiness in the after-life." With that said he looks down and see's Duncan slowly coming too.

"Hey man are you okay." Xander asked as he helped him to his feet.

"Aye." he says shaking the cobwebs out. "Damnit." he says looking over Xander's shoulder. Xander follows his line of vision and see's Kendra and Mr. Zabuto lying on the floor.

"Oh, my God, Kendra " he shouts. As he runs down the steps Duncan follows closely behind. Sheila is already inspecting the bodies. Instead of going to the bodies, Duncan free's Dierdre from her cage.

"Mr. Zabuto is dead." Sheila says as Xander comes up behind her.

"What about Kendra " Xander asked. Sheila checks her pulse.

"She's still alive, but just barely. We have ta get her to de hospital now "

"I'll take care of the body." Duncan says as he put's Dierdre down. "You three go ahead on to the hospital." With that said the four of them part ways.
