Watching Big Brother
Part 1
Devious Plot
"What is he doing here," Doc agitatedly cried. A lab assistant whispered something in his ear. "I know he's my nephew, but what is he doing here?"
He did not realize that his nephew, Luke Valentine, was in earshot as Doc ranted by his presence.
"You know, Doc," the blonde, suave vampire began. "It goes against my loyalty, but don't know you what you're trying to accomplish?"
He never really liked his "nephews"; being dumped with the responsibility of raising children irked him.
Doc already told Luke about his next scientific plot: to make giant ghouls and vampire soldiers in their plot to take over the human world in the name of their Nazi organization, The Millennium Group. He thought himself more intelligent than his nephew, and did not want to be shown up.
"Well, it shows what you know, Ja? This process would match with comrade Joleen's powers, yet it will be like candy to a baby for your brother."
Luke grew up learning from Doc about showing others up and being smarter than others. They both know deep down that they are better than anyone. Still, Luke was not fond of his uncle's idea. He was also not fond of being dragged down to the secret base of headquarters in South America just to be told a silly hypothesis.
"And did you also know that using someone as dangerous as Jan will become more disastrous than Godzilla destroying Tokyo?"
"Yes I do. And that is just the idea. He should be more useful than slacking off when plans are not being fulfilled."
"What is your plan, anyway?"
"By using your brother, we can make our first attack on the Hellsing Organization. And with his lust for blood and carnage heightened, those humans and even their vampire pet won't stand a chance."
In a huff, Luke stormed out of the lab, saying in return, "None of us would stand a chance against him. Not even me and you better understand that, Doc, if you're so smart."
Relieved that Luke finally left, he went back to preparation, smirking and saying to himself, "Looks like it will work this time."
Luke did not care. He kept telling himself that after he returned to the dwelling he and his younger brother were staying at. Both brothers resided in an old manor home owned by Millennium that served as the brother's base of operations after they were done with school in London and after Luke graduated college. The Hellsing attack was approved by their short, stout and elusive leader, The Major, and requested that the siblings leave in two days for England. Jan Valentine would then be given the chance to proof himself a faithful member and clear Hellsing out of existence as a giant beast on the onslaught of war.
Luke still did not care. He told himself that while immersing himself in a novel once read in college, but it didn't settle his thoughts. In reality, he had an inkling that everything that Doc was planning will go down in flames before the Great Battle, as Millennium called it in English, would begin. Jan becoming gigantic would not make the situation any better. It was not a sense of giving up that drove this assumption, but he knew what the other alternative was.
He could remember back in his childhood of being plagued by nightmares of becoming enormous himself. His comrades shunning him, especially his brother, afraid for their lives. His childlike cries going unanswered, regardless of his uncle's sympathetic notions which were coldhearted and on deaf ears.
With a heavy thud in his sigh and book, Luke would have to face those deep demons for the good of Millennium. It was worth an embarrassed ego than seeing his little brother become an even bigger problem than normal.
An Experience, A Dangerous Liaison
Doc's plan was scheduled to begin in a week, so Luke was going to need some time to convince Jan about changing his mind before they leave. After Doc confided his plans to Luke, Jan, with his acute ability to overhear important things at precise moments, heard his older brother talking to their uncle. Jan couldn't wait to rub in his big brother's face that he was going to be the "big" brother from now on. For the brothers, it was like a tradition when things were going Jan's way, it was a childish joy to him to peeve his older brother off, showing him that Luke was not always better than him.
Luke went to his bedroom to try and think out loud, not wanting Jan to hear or see him at work. With his legs crossed on his ecru armchair, he posed the idea of using hundreds of undead soldiers all at once, making the attack swifter and quicker. Then he realized that the ghouls would only cover human targets than anything on a larger scale.
Thinking of another idea, his mind went to work on something else. That idea was not all that great he thought. He tried to work on a more brilliant and reasonable plan and kept thinking to himself that Jan would be too reckless to do the job to its end. His uncle would not get the best of either them.
His senses were working like crazy as his body turned warmer and his stomach tightened without warning, soon spreading through his body. The sensations began to expand and his body followed through. Luke realized, with little control he had left, that the immensity was literally expanding him, burdening his body and affecting his consciousness. He dropped to his knees as if it would make it stop; his head felt light and heavy at the same time.
Luke continued to shut his eyes tight, but he could feel himself continuing to grow, with his skin stretching and his muscles tightening and expanding every second to support a soon-to-be new found size. Pain coursed through his body as bones pushed and clicked his limbs to the limit. He knew his boyhood nightmare was coming to life. Inside his mind, he wanted to embrace this pain, wanted to get over it and embrace a sadomasochist side that yearned for a good temptation. Somehow, it was programmed into his mind. It was programmed into the Freak Chip. The desire burdening the pain, battling it out in the vampire's mind. He did not know how tall he was becoming, but his bedroom was some 8 feet in height and he surpassed that by a couple of feet on his knees.
With the situation getting worse, Jan was knocking on his door, calling, "Hey, bro! What the fuck are you doin' in there?"
Luke opened his eyes and turned to his door. It was not the fact that he was almost reaching 30 feet in height nor the smaller sized bedroom door that made him panic, but Jan knocking outside and waiting behind it that was.
"Not now, Jan!" Luke called ignoring the sound of his booming voice, thinking he still had an inside voice.
"Whoa! Okay. Don't get a hissy fit."
On his way down, Jan was too late to notice the bedroom door cracking and ready to explode by some enormous weight. He was able to be see what looked like a large sole of a shoe bearing down on him. He cried out and ran for the stairs, but the giant sole helped pushed him down the steps. He grabbed hold of the shoe's edges, frightened out of his mind that he would he crushed like a bug the second he would hit the front door.
With enough time to look down below, Jan unclasped his hands and leapt off the stairs to the floor below. He ripped the door open as the shoe hit him again, sending them both outside and ending Jan's wild ride by ramming against the stone fence that surrounded their house. Jan was like a victim in a car wreck, sprawled on the fence and moaning from the pain of the impact. Slowly supporting himself up, he adjusted his jaw with unsightly cracking sounds.
He turned around and saw what was the most off the wall site he saw in his life. From what it looked like, the house grew legs and arms. And strangely enough, they almost looked like Luke's: gloves, white attire and all.
"What the fuck!" Turning his heels to run, he thought of Doc, assuming it was his fault.
From inside the house, his brother howled, "Jan! Get back here!"
His feet skid to a halt, as he turned to look back. Is bro still in there he thought. Then it hit him: Luke was not only inside, but the limbs are also his.
Panicking, he ran across he lawn, screaming,"Oh Christ, he's gonna fuckin' kill me! Help! Help, hey, help here! HEEEEEELLLLLLLLPPP!"
Luke was left behind trying to lift himself up and out of the house surrounding him. Strange as it was, the foundation did not crumble or rose up with his constant struggle. Then Luke put his hands on the ground and proceeded to push himself up, but nothing moved. Knowing Jan was going to contact headquarters, he angrily thought to himself that killing Jan would be a good idea after all.
