Requiem of Blood

Four Days later……

The bells ring out as the do every morning, here is the fair Vatican City. The streets flow with Catholics moving here and there, doing their daily business. Buses move through the streets like pill bugs through a swarm of ants. The buses carry hundreds of tourists all wanting to get a sight of the holy building known as the Vatican. Even the Mystical indifferent, the holy energy that surges from the building lightens even the heaviest hearts and brings joy to even the most forlorn faces. We zoom in on the large church, passing countless tour groups. We pass down corridor after corridor until we reach the far eastern side of the Vatican, a corridor leading a dead end, with a statue of the Christian Lord, Jesus Christ looming to the ceiling. Standing in front of it are a priest and a nun, who appear like they've had better days. "Heinkel….." The nun said in a whining tone. "The Chief is going to be soooo mad at us." The nun pressed a secret switch on the statues bases and the wall moved up, letting them pass through to a very large stairwell that led downwards. The priest walking beside her merely pulled out a modified revolver, checking that not a single round was missing. A click was heard as he placed the chamber back into place. "Und vhy vould the chief be cross vith us, Yumiko?" But when the priest spoke, it was not a male voice but that of a woman.

They walked past several branching corridors, each with a Number 1 written above it then a name below it. The walked down another stair well, passing corridors with a three. A look of displeasure crossed Yumiko's face and she groaned. "We were only told to rescue the hostages Heinkel….But we killed all the terrorists again!" Down three more stair wells and they were passing corridors with fives. Heinkel let out a humorless laugh, "Vell, the Lord's vill vorks in mysterious vays Yumiko." The sixes, the sevens, the eights…. "Especially when certain guns are directed at people." The nun half mumbled. The nines… "Vhat did you zay, you anger prone psycho!" The tens, elevens, twelves…… "Well at least I have some self control, unlike you! You go all half…." Heinkel puts a finger to Yumiko's lips. "Stille Yumiko. Ve don't vant the chief to know we 'ave just arrived." The nun nods as the reach the end of the last stair well. Here we corridors lined with the Roman numeral thirteen. This was the Vatican's covert force, the section that bears the name of Judas, The Iscariot Organization. There eyes flutter to a closed door that had in its center, in bold writing Enrico Maxwell. They simultaneously nod and begin tiptoeing towards a corridor labeled "Domiciles". They get only half way there when the door of said director bursts open and a furious form stands in it frames. "YUMIKO! HEINKEL!" The two woman stop in their wake," Scheiße!" The two turn around, a fake look of innocence on their faces. "Hello chief." The nun scoots behind the female priest. "Guten Tag... Vhat's the matter?" The man they called chief was fairly tall, with a slightly muscular build. He wore the attire commonly found on an Archbishop. His hair was a light platinum blonde and he wore it long. Fury and agitation was written on every inch of his face. "MY OFFICE! NOW!" The two women follow behind him, reluctantly, the door slamming behind them.

10 Minutes Later…..

We zoom back outside as the two are being berated. The sky is a beautiful blue and clouds float effortlessly against this empty palette. We look down at the entrance to the Vatican and hear a few screams of panic. Ten black buses with tinted windows are plowing through the streets, slaughtering pedestrians and causing several fatal traffic accidents. The stop at a halt in a circle around the main doors of the Holiest of Houses. The doors open with an automatic whoosh and hundreds of people pour out. Half where red robes and round their neck bounces the symbol of blood. The other half is dressed in combat attire and they bare the mark of the Demon's mouth. The air is filled with the sound of gunfire as this tide of death slaughters everything in their path. Brother Blood exits the last bus, a psychotic grin on his lips. "STAIN THE GROUND WITH THE PAGAN'S BLOOD!"And with that a red aura enveloped his right hand and he let forth a blast of chaotic energy, causing a large explosion, incinerating one of the Vatican's towers. A beads of sweat decorated his face; even with the boost from absorbing Metallo, it had been difficult to over come the resistance put up by the Vatican's wards. But it didn't matter now, the blast had weakened them enough for him to commit his deed. He followed in the wake of his forces.

10 minutes earlier/The present……

The two women gasp at who is also present. Sitting adjacent Enrico's desk was God himself on Earth, the divine conduit, the present reside Pope, Pope John Paul the Third. They were on their knees, head bowed, saying simultaneously. "Your excellence." He looked down at them with ancient eyes that held anger, kindness, agitation and understanding. "Rise my children." Enrico bows to the Pope, sitting in his chair, turning his attention the two women. He pulled out a large, thick case file. "I just received this from Section three. It enlists the details of your mission and your reports. Once again you two accomplished the mission….BUT MANAGED TO MAKE A SPECTACLE OF YOURSELF! YOU TWO WASTE MORE OF SECTION THREE'S TIME THAN ANY OTHER AGENT IN ANY OF THE OTHER 12 ORGANIZATIONS OF THE VATICAN!" The Pope coughs politely, getting attention. "If I may have a word?" Enrico nods in compliance. "Of course your eminence." He was about to speak when a loud boom echoed through the halls, still as loud as it had been at ground zero. The door bursts open, a unnamed agent and several armed men behind him. "Forgive my intrusion, but we must get his eminence out of the Vatican this instant!" Enrico rose from his seat. "What happened?"

"The Vatican is under attack from an unknown amount of foes. They've already penetrated the initial defenses and levels One through Four." Enrico groans. "Once more these Heathens try to kill us, make us go quietly into the dark." He turns to the Pope. "Your Holiness, escape while you can. Let us, The Iscariot handle these interlopers." The Pope nods. "I leave the cleansing of the Vatican and the extermination of these pagans to you, Enrico Maxwell, Director of Section 13, The Iscariot Organization." And with that, he and his body guard detail left. Enrico turned to the two women. "Heinkel, Yumiko, we will finish this later. Sadly Father Anderson is still out in the field, so it is up to you cleanse this house of all the non believers, Amen." The women nod. "Amen." "Amen." They turn and run out of the office, following the straggling agents who were just mobilized.


Yep, a cliffhanger ending. Now Heinkel said four German words in this chapter. The first, Stille means Hush, the second one, Scheiße means shit and the last, Guten Tag, means good day. Read and Review.
