I do not own darkstalkers, capcom does. I do own some characters in the story, like Anthony.

O.K. Now first things first: 1). The story follows the anime storyline. I like to continue the storyline in my vision of how it should go. 2). I am going to take my time in writing the story. The first took one day to finish, one day! Jeeze, I know fast at some things, but one day and some people say it is good, just slow it down a bit. There is a special surprise in the story that will be revealed in this story and in later chapters. Will here goes. Oh yeah, thanks for the reviews that did get through. And yes Jon and Felicia will have a bigger part

Chapter 2: Gathering

Felicia looked out the diner's window; people passed the window without fear of her, they were just glad the sun was out again. ~At least, I think, this is a whole lot better than them screaming their heads off because of me, being a dark one after all~ she thought. She looked around the diner, it was packed and people were still coming in. Felicia has still not ordered anything, not because she was a dark one, there were just too many people in the small diner. Just as she was going to get up and leave, a man wearing a hat and overcoat walked in the diner. She notices that he that he looked down at the floor, never once looking up. But she had an odd feeling coming over her, like she met this man before. Felicia shook the feeling off, her hair waved around a bit. She was the only one with a spare seat, but she knew that this man would not sit with her, even if she asked. She sighed and looked out the window.

Jon stepped into the diner and looked around, carefully avoiding the people eye. Then he saw her, Felicia sitting by herself at the end of the diner. She was not eating anything, Jon got angry. He looked around and saw a waiter barely finishing an order when Jon stepped over to him and grabbed his arm.

"What the..." the waiter started to say before Jon spoke roughly to him

"Why don't you ask her for her order." Jon asked the waiter angrily, pointing in the direction of Felicia

"Sir, if did not notice, we are kind busy here, I was going table to table to get as many orders as I can. If you and your girlfriend can wait a bit longer, I would get to you as soon as I can." The waiter said to Jon as he took his arm back from Jon's grasp.

"She is not my girlfriend." Jon told the waiter, his anger diminishing "she an old acquaintance of mine."

"Oh. So sorry, I will get her order next. Just next time, be a bit more patient." The waiter told him. Then he turned around to give the order to the cooks in the kitchen. Jon turned around just in time to see Felicia get up from her seat. Jon walked over to her and gave her a smile.

"Hi." He said. Felicia looked at him.

"Yes?" she said as she was walking to the door

"The waiter is going to take your order next." He said to her. Felicia turned to him, just as the waiter came up to Felicia.

"I will take your order now." Said the waiter, looking at Jon cautiously.

"Finally." Felicia said. She looked at Jon with an odd look on her face. They both sat down at the table, facing each other. Felicia ordered a fish sandwich with cold milk. Jon turned to the waiter.

"I want a hamburger, I want the meat rare, and a glass of water." The waiter looked at Jon, shrugged his shoulders, and he wrote down the order. He turned around walk to the kitchen to tell the cooks. Jon turned to Felicia; she was studying him, trying to figure out his angle at helping her.

"If you want something in return," Felicia started, "I am not going to sleep with you."

Jon sweat dropped at what Felicia said. "No. I don't want to sleep with you. I just think dark ones as nice as you should not be treated this way."

Felicia looked at him. "How would you know I am a nice darkstalker?"

Jon had to think fast of something. "I... uh... er... somebody told me about your show, and how nice you are to them." Jon said to her ~Nice save~ Jon thought

"Oh." Felicia said, then she brighten up, "Would you like to go see it? I want as many people to go see the show."

Jon smiled. "Of course. I would like to see the 'Felicia, The Singing Sensation'" Jon said, opening his arms over his head, as showing in big, bold letters.

"Stop it." Felicia laughed, and turning red at the same time. She dug into a little purse she carried around, and gave a ticket to Jon. "Here you go." She handed him the ticket.

"What, I don't have to pay it." Jon said as he took the ticket

"Yes, but later on." Felicia said. Just then the got their food, the waiter gave their plates to them.

"Sorry for the delay. Here are your meals." The waiter said, then he quickly walked away to a customer, waving at him for something. Jon and Felicia ate their meals; afterwards they talked a little more. They got up and walked up to the counter to pay for their meals.

"You know my name." Felicia said to him, "I still don't know your name. Mind telling me what it is?"

"Oh sorry." Jon said to her. "The name is Jon, Jonathan Talbain." He stuck out his hand. Felicia took it.

"Nice to meet you, Jonathan Talbain." She said. They paid for their meals and walked out into the sun.

"See you later." She said and skipped away back to her train. Her heart felt joy and relief of finally somebody understanding her. Most of the time, it took people a while for them to understand her. Jon watched her as she skipped away, ~Felicia~ Jon thought ~you are the most beautiful creature to walk and grace this earth. I will be at the show and I am going to revile myself to you. I just hope that you accept me~ He turned around and walked away.

Anthony felt the two dark energies walk away from each other.

"Hmm." Anthony said.

~Two dark energies, one is werewolf, the other a cat person. Why are they together? This is confusing; I got to get to Felicia before that werewolf does something to her. I may not be related to her, but that wolf got ideas, and I am going to stop his ideas before they start~ He took out a picture of a small cat girl with an older cat woman and a man; they are his last living relatives, well only the cat girl is. His mother, a vampire, gave him the picture before the werewolves ripped her apart. His mother could take on a pair of were-wolf, but there were a least thirty of them when his town was attack. He was the only one that survived the attack. His father and grandmother, a cat woman, made it out. But were too hurt to survive long. His father was born from a cat woman and his father's father was born from a cat woman. When Anthony's father fell in love with a female vampire, they found themselves at a disagreement. If they were to be together, they will produce a Dhampire but their love was too great. They had the child of pure blood of the dark, but grew up in the light. Anthony did not know of course, but he is the first creature of a new race. He is part cat person, and part vampire, all because of his mother's blood. The genes of the cat race and vampire race mixed together to form a new race. The cat genes that were not suppose to cross but did, his vampire genes allowed it pass to the male side. But Anthony did not get fur or claws. Instead, Anthony got all the reflexes of a cat person, but all the strength of a vampire. As Anthony grew up, he honed on his dark power and skills, and then he became a dark hunter. He hunted all kinds of dark creatures, but most of all, he hunted werewolves. But there is a second part to his life; he vowed to find his cat girl cousin, no matter how long it took. Anthony found the bodies of the mother and father of his cousin; they have been dead for some time, they were in their graves when Anthony found them. He found at least 50 other cat girls, but none of them were related to him in any way.

~There is no way that singer is going to be my cousin. She must be at least 25. I am older than my cousin. Well at least try to ask her~ Anthony though. He got up from the sitting position and started to walk down the hill he was on. He also keeps a tab on a small dark energy that was heading to the town. It was in the north, steadily heading towards the town. Anthony soon felt that the dark energy was actually multiple individual energy, not just one.

As Anthony walked down the hill, he felt another dark energy. This one far more powerful, it was in the east. It to was heading to the town. Anthony was thinking hard as he walked. ~ What is up with this town? ~ Anthony thought ~ Is it a magnet for dark creatures ~ he continues to down the hill to ask Felicia his question.

Donovan and Anita were walking straight for the town. After the battle with Pyron, Donovan had (and unwilling) become Anita's guardian. Mei-Ling and Hisen-ko had told him that Anita had no home, and that she seems to be happier with him. Donovan agreed, and in truth, he seems happier to have company with him on his travel. Besides that, Anita has recovered her emotions; she smiled whenever Donovan defeated a strong opponent, and angry whenever he did something wrong.

~It is better than nothing, other than show no emotion at all~ Donovan thought. He stopped when he notice that Anita had stopped moving, no emotion shown in her eyes, Donovan began to wonder what was happening to her. Then he saw it: fear. That is what he saw in her eyes, he did not want to see it again.

"What is it Anita?" Donovan asked her, for if Anita should show fear, then it is something that could destroy him as well.

"A dark energy. Too strong." Anita said softly "It has more power than Pryon himself." Donovan's eyes opened wide, if there is a darkstalker stronger than Pryon, then this is something to worry about.

"I will beat it." Donovan said after some time had passed, "I will protect you, Anita. For you, is the only innocent left."

"You are wrong." Anita said to him. Donovan caught this by surprise, sometime Anita disagree with him. But the sound of her voice told him not to argue. "There are a few innocents left. But they are the kind that you hunt."

"Dark Ones that are innocent. Impossible, never heard such a thing." Donovan said to her. Then Anita, who has been looking down at the ground, looked up at him, her eyes shown that Donovan was far from being right.

"Donovan, I am a dark one myself. I should be dead by now if I was not an innocent dark one." she spoke to him in a cold voice. "The town that we are going to, it has three dark one there. One being a werewolf, a particularly strong one, another being a cat woman, a strong one in her heart and spirit, and a new creature, far stronger than the werewolf but is in equal strength with you. But he is the same as you; only he did not hate himself like you did. We must hurry and get to the town. There is something that going to happens soon. We must help them defeat it." She walked around Donovan and continues toward the town. Donovan walked up beside her.

~She grows so fast~ Donovan thought ~and her powers grow with it. It feels as if I did not pick up a girl with dark powers, but someone that is there to help me get through life. She has helped me learn my ways. Now she tells me that there are some darkstalkers that are kind! Yet she has said a thing till now, how about the others, some plead for their lives and she said nothing. Yet I still feel that there is something bigger in this than to save this town from whatever Anita is talking about. I shall soon find out soon enough~ Donovan and Anita had hurried their pace towards the town.

Morrigan followed the path of destruction that plague from town to town. She has been going to Demitir's castle, but something was on Demitir's mind. He told her to go to this area of the world. He said something, but Morrigan did not catch what he was mumbling about. She soon found out, when she reached the area. Completely destroyed, bodies everywhere, all of them had holes in them. She followed the destruction and bodies and now she saw what she was following. A big black cloud of something was covering a town. Morrigan laid low and got even closer. The cloud was not a cloud at all, but lots of creature that looked like a hybrid of bees and humans. She heard people screaming, and would have enjoyed it if she did not see what the bee creatures were doing to them. She got a good look at what they were doing to them too, because the second Morrigan had touch the floor, a man burst out of the bush screaming, behind him was one of the creatures. It was a female, and almost the same hair color as Morrigan. She flew straight at the man and grabbed him. Morrigan was half expecting the creature to fly up in the air and drop the man from a high altitude. But instead, it stabbed the man with its stinger. Instead of leaving it in there or stabbing him again. The bee creature let go of him. But at the tip of the stinger a soul was being dragged out of the dying bodies. The soul of the man continues to scream as the bee creature with its bare hands grabbed it. Morrigan found this impossible to believe

~No way~ Morrigan thought ~I thought there was no way you could get a soul. But she just grabbed like it was a piece of paper~ The next thing that the bee creature did was so disturbing that even Morrigan could not stand. It ate the soul of the man, literally swallowing it.

~And they say eating emotions was bad~ Morrigan thought. The bee creature licked its lips and looked down at the body. It got down on it hands and knee and started to feast on the body. Morrigan did feel the man was still alive, well, just the body anyway. The soul was long gone, and the creature was eating the fresh meat when Morrigan stepped out.

"As much as I would give you an applause," Morrigan started "But I need to take you with me."

The bee creature licked its lips at Morrigan. "More food!" It exclaimed "More food and souls, for big guy with metal wings!"

~Sounds like a two year old~ Morrigan thought. The bee creature jumped up and flew at Morrigan. She expected this and did one thing: She killed it. Morrigan's wing turned into chains with spike tips and impales the creature. The bee creature died almost instantly, Morrigan notice that white stuff came out of the creature abdomen, it turn into a soul of the man the creature had ate a few minutes before. The soul looked around before smiling at Morrigan.

"Thank you, succubus" the soul said before leaving, or in this case disappearing

Morrigan sighed and looked at the body. ~Oh well this would have to do~ Morrigan thought and disappeared, teleporting back to Demitir's Castle to show him the body.

O.K, done for now. And I did not rush it like I did before, still did it in one day though. That's cool. As you can see, I followed the game and the anime storyline very closely. Would you believe that this would take up 6 pages of paper! I never even wrote more than 3 for school. Well, I am out of here till the next chapter

Next Chapter: The start of the war.
