Underworld
A man was running full speed away from someone. He wears a black cloak that covers his whole body. The runner goes into an abandoned building to hide.
He runs deeper into the building to find six other people inside.
"Get ready! One of the Sins found us!" The runner yells. The others quickly move in position in front of the only door to the room.
"Which Sin is it?!" Man 1 asked.
"The Hound, he chased me all the way from Sallos' territory!" said the runner.
"Why the hell did you lead him here?!" Man 2 yelled.
"Shut up, I didn't think he could follow me all the way here!" said the runner.
"You idiot! Why do you think he's called the Hound!?" Man 2 yelled.
Their conversation was interrupted by the sound of loud banging on the metal door. The men readied themselves again. The door was repeatedly banged on hard, leaving an indentation that gets bigger with every hit until a hole was broken into. A swarm of bats flew through the hole and surrounded the group, obstructing their vision and throwing them off guard.
"Ahh! Where is he?!"
"I can't see!"
"He's here! He's-ACK!" Man 1 was stabbed through the chest with a silver blade.
"Where did-AHH!" Man 2 was grabbed by numerous bats and pulled him up towards the ceiling. The sound of cutting flesh could be heard over the confusion. The man's body dropped in pieces, covering the floor in blood.
A bloodied silver rapier fell from the ceiling in the center of the room, with the blade stuck in the ground. The bats then converge towards the sword, then combine, revealing Emil Tepes who's now holding the bloody silver blade in his left hand. He's currently dressed in a gray no sleeve shirt, black jeans, and black shoes. A knife was strapped to the right side of his hip.
"He's right there! Get him!" The remaining men charge at Emil with weapons drawn.
Emil rushes at Man 3 and swings his sword at him, which he blocked. Emil pushes off Man 3 to block an attack from a sword strike from Man 4. Both men repeatedly swing their blades at Emil, who effortlessly blocks them with his own. He then swings his sword at Man 3's sword, knocking it out of his hand then stabs him through the chest, killing him. Emil rips out his sword and reflects another attack by Man 4. Then, Emil slices at Man 4's leg, severing it in two. Man 4 falls down, screaming out in pain at losing his limp while then Emil decapitates him, ending his life. Emil sees a fireball aimed at him by Man 5. He jumps over the fire. Man 5 conjures up another ball of fire and aims it at Emil, but Emil's body turns into bats and dodges it, then appears behind Man 5 and stabs him through the heart. Emil looks at the last survivor, who looks terrified. Man 6 runs as fast as he can, but Emil quickly outruns him and decapitates him in a flash, his head flying in the air spraying blood on the floor. He sees the runner he's been chasing trying to escape. Emil grabs his knife and throws it at the runner's leg, crippling him.
"AHHH!" The screams of the man rings out throughout the room. Emil walks over to the man.
"You led me on quite the chase you piece of shit. Now that I've finally caught you, you're gonna answer all my questions," said Emil.
"I already told you I don't know anything!" The injured runner said. Emil stomps on the man's injured leg, making him scream in pain.
"Liar! I recognize the scent of your blood, you're one of the people who tried to kill my King. And you're going to tell me who you were working for," said Emil.
"I don't know who hired me! I swear-AHH!" The runner yells. Emil grabs the handle of his knife and twists it.
"I don't believe you. Tell me who hired you or else I'm going to strangle you with your own intestines!" Emil said loudly. The runner didn't reply. "Fine then."
Emil grabs his knife and pulls it out. The runner screams in pain. Emil was about to stab him through the chest when the man spoke up.
"Wait wait… I don't know who hired us. But I know the man who does," said the runner holding out his arm.
"Who is he?" Emil replied.
"His name is Ivan Hin. We met him in Glasya-Labolas territory a week before the attack. He brought us all together to make the plan to attack Rosa Gremory," said the man. Emil grabs the man by the collar and presses his knife against his neck.
"Are you lying to me?" Emil asked.
"No I'm not, that's all I know I swear!" The man repeated in fear.
"Okay then," said Emil. Emil knocks out the runner and drops him to the ground.
"Better get going before someone tracks my location," Emil holds up his hand to use a magic circle to teleport, but nothing's happening. "Shit, did someone follow that quickly?!" Emil said in shock.
Emil leaves the building and runs quickly to escape the area. As Emil was running, the ground cracked and exploded beneath him. Emil jumps out of the way quickly, and looks at his attacker. He's surprised as he recognizes him and narrows his eyes.
"It's been a while, hasn't it Sairaorg," said Emil. Sairaorg was standing in front of him with his arms crossed with a smile on his face.
"That it has Emil. I got to say, you caused quite a bit of chaos back in Lord Sallos' territory. He must be pretty furious up there in his manor," said Sairaorg.
"So what, I couldn't care less about that guy. After the crap he pulled, you won't hear me apologizing to him," said Emil.
"Ha ha ha… no argument there," Sairaorg laughs in agreement.
"So, is there any chance that you can forget about our encounter here?" Emil asked.
"Unfortunately for you, no," Sairaorg answered. He waves his hand to summon his Peerage to surround Emil. "Now, are you going to tell me where Rosa is, or are we gonna have to force you to tell us?"
"Why do you want to find her, is it to challenge her to a fight?" Emil asked.
"One of these days definitely. But right now, I'm just a concerned family member. So, are you going to tell me or not," said Sairaorg. Emil gives a small smirk as his body breaks apart into many bats that scatter in an upward direction.
"Coriana, Misteeta, create a barrier!" Sairaorg orders quickly.
"Okay!" Both Bishops raise their arms in the air and a magical barrier covers over everyone there.
"Damn it!" Emil said. Kuisha, Sairaorg's Queen, flies above Emil and summons multiple portals to suck in the bats. Another portal appears where Emil was originally. Emil reforms himself from his bats and draws his sword out.
Emil flies at Kuisha and slashes at her with his sword. She dodges it, and shoots lightning magic at Emil, knocking him to the ground. Emil immediately gets to his feet and sees Beluga, one of Sairaorg's Knights, who's quickly riding in on an armored horse charging at him. Beluga holds up one of his spears and stabs Emil through his right shoulder. Emil was being dragged on the ground Beluga for a full minute.
"I have you now Hound," said Beluga boastfully.
"In your dreams Chiron!" Emil shouted. Emil disperses his body into bats to escape Beluga's spear and immediately reforms himself.
Emil stands straight until he's pushed to his knees by an insane pressure. He struggles to turn his head to find Liban, Sairaorg's other Knight, using his Gravity Jail on him.
"Surrender Emil. I don't want to have to hurt you anymore then you are," Liban said.
"Surrender? Sorry, I don't know what that word means," said Emil in a cocky tone.
"So be then." Liban walks closer towards Emil, centering his line of sight on him so his Gravity Jail works more effectively. Liban was five feet in front of Emil. Emil smirks as his body turns into fog and moves behind Liban, shocking him momentarily. Emil turns his body back solid, restraints Liban's arms, and bites on his neck, then sucks his blood.
"ACK!" Liban shouted in pain. He tries to throw Emil off his back but couldn't break his grip as he got weaker from losing blood. Emil drinks more of Liban's blood and punches his head, knocking him unconscious. Emil feels rejuvenated from the blood he drank. He looks behind him to see Beluga riding towards him with his spear aimed at him. Emil picks up his sword and throws it at Beluga. Beluga defects the sword with one of his spears. Emil flies towards Beluga and turns into mist, fading through his body and appears behind Beluga. Emil grabs Beluga and throws him hard into the ground, creating a crater that he's stuck in. Emil then flies into Beluga and punches through his armor in his chest and knocks him out. Emil then rushes towards his sword and grabs it. Emil hears clapping from behind, coming from Sairaorg.
"Now that was impressive! You've gotten stronger Emil. I heard that only high level vampires can turn their bodies into fog like that. I can't wait to fight you again one of these days, but unfortunately you've run out of time," said Sairaorg, sounding impressed.
"What's that supposed to mean?" Emil asked. Emil then felt something rush past him in the blink of an eye.
Emil immediately turns around and blocks a sword strike from someone behind him. He slides back on his feet by an incredible force of strength and is in a sword lock.
"Not bad Emil. You haven't stacked off in your training it seems." The voice came from Souji Okita, the Knight of Sirzechs Lucifer.
He's a handsome man with short brown hair in his late twenties, wearing his traditional Shisengumi uniform, which consists of a haori and hakama over a kimono, with a white cord called a tasuki crossed over the chest and tied in the back.
"So you're the one who tracked me down, Master Okita. I got to say, I'm surprised that you got off your lazy ass to something with yourself," said Emil.
"And who's fault is that, thanks to you and your friends, Sirzechs has been worried sick about his precious baby sister. Now he's having me do all this tedious work for him," said Souji.
"Really, well sorry not sorry. I don't really care if me and the others are cutting into your free time. Besides, I think you were already willing to go out to fine Rosa without King Crimson having to order you Master," stated Emil.
Souji shrugs his shoulders and says, "Heh, fair enough. I was a little concerned about the little lady, so I'm not too annoyed. And you can drop the honorifics Emil, they're not really my style."
"Fine then. I never was one for mannerisms," said Emil. Emil disengaged from Souji and ran away to keep distance from him. Souji instantly moves in front of Emil and blocks his path.
"Nice try, but you can't run fast enough yet," said Souji.
Souji hits Emil with the back of his katana with blinding speed, multiple times in many different places on his body. Emil blocks some of them, but Souji was too fast. He swings his katana into Emil's chest and Emil falls back into the ground with pain going throughout his whole body. Emil pushes himself off the ground, using his sword to hold him up. Emil is hunched over, breathing heavily, and bleeding from his mouth.
"Stand down Emil. You can't keep fighting with those injuries," said Souji. Emil chuckles.
"Heh heh heh… obviously," Emil gets into a fighting stance. "But I've never been one to roll over so easily," said Emil.
"Except when it comes to Rosa," said Souji jokingly. Emil blushes at the mention of Rosa. "How is the little lady anyway?"
"She's stubborn and determined as always, Souji," said Emil.
"Good to hear… now then. It's time to finish this, Emil," said Souji. He gets into a fighting stance.
Souji moves quickly behind Emil, who immediately turns around and blocks numerous sword strikes. Emil's body slowly gets cut up, making him slow down in pain, so in a last ditch effort, reflects a strike from Souji and lands a gash across Souji's chest. Souji ignores the pain and uses a powerful strike to knock Emil's sword out of his hand and twirls his katana back-handed and jabs him in the stomach with the hilt. Emil coughs out blood along with the air in his lungs and falls to the ground unconscious.
"Lord Okita, you okay?" Sairaorg asked as he walked up to him.
"Ahh, I'll live." Souji looks at his wound, then at Emil. "Let's bring him back. If we're lucky, he'll tell us where Rosa is."
Sairaorg picks up Emil and throws him over his shoulder. Souji and Sairaorg, along with his Peerage teleport via summoning circle. From a distance, a white hair youth was observing the fight. He then vanishes from plain sight.
