Chapter 5: Lightsing
(Okay, just so everyone's clear, I didn't come up with Lightsing, that's just how Hellsing got translated whenever I put it into the translator at it turned out, Chancellor Shepard already knew Alucard was coming. He had called Kaiba and asked for his permission toform a new Hellsing organization. To which Kaiba had said yes on a few conditions: #1. No more reporting to governments, all that did was make the organization a scapegoat; the only public look the group would have was a private detective company that specialized in, ah, unusual cases. #2. They would be exorcists now, not hunters, which meant Alucard could no longer get away with blowing people up except under extreme circumstances. #3. None of the Vampires or any other supernatural creatures that joined the organization would be contracted to the Kaiba family. #4. Since ordinary humans had proved little more than annoying to vampires, and fake ones at that, it was agreed that any one who joined the organization should become at least partly shadow creature.
"'Shadow creature'?" Alexis asked.
"There is still much you do not understand yet," Alucard said smiling. "Allow me to explain. Here's how it works, ahem." Alucard said, clearing his throat.
"First, there is this universe, known as Interra. Next to it, is a similar universe called Shambala. Thirdly, is a universe twice the size of the first two: the Shadow Realm or the Dark world, the spirits of your duel monsters as well as they're physical bodies, tools, and powers come from there. There is ,however, a fourth universe, one the size of all three of the others put together, Spirit World. Every person has an equivalent to himself or herself in each world.
Now I think it would be best if I talked a little about the beings of these worlds: every being (except a spirit) has a physical body, in which is his or her immortal soul. You already know that. However, what you don't know is that a person's soul is contained in his or her spirit. A Spirit, the soul it contains, is tangible and can be destroyed. When a spirit is destroyed, the soul goes on to its eternal rest, or punishment. However, this is only the case with the immortal soul; every living being has a second soul, the mortal soul. This soul only refers to a person's lifetime, however, and returns to the Astral Line when a person dies. Speaking of which I had better talk about said line now, shouldn't I?
The Astral Line is the source of power to all things, living or spiritual. It is what keeps the four worlds separate. At the place were three worlds connect, there is a Gate. Gates are what send the power into the worlds, since every living or spiritual thing has a small copy inside of them to absorb the mystical energy known as astral. Astral is one of the three types of energy. The others are: ki, which is just strait forward life energy, and furyoku, the energy needed for magic."
"Wait a minute!" Jaden yelled. "You said astral was mystic, so isn't it the power used for magic?"
"Yeah, what's up with that?" Chazz asked?
"Actually, mysticism is the belief that there is more to the world than what people can perceive; society has simply changed the true meaning to resemble magic." Bastion stated calmly.
"I couldn't have put it better myself," Alucard said with a small grin. "Okay, then class is over. The reason I told you guys about this is I want to know if you're willing to join the new organization."
"I'm in for sure," Jaden said seriously. "I'm part monster already, I should put my mew powers to good use."
"Jaden," Alexis said, so quietly that only the highly sensitive nosferatu (undead) of the room could hear her. "I'm in too," she said confidently.
"Me too," Syrus said.
"That makes three," Kenzan added.
"Four," Baston said.
"Hmph. Well, I guess I had better join too. There has to be someone to make sure you guys don't screw everything up," Chazz said calmly.
"Well, then," Alucard said with his insane grin. "Welcome to Lightsing."
