That night, while all of Japan is asleep, there were some things, known especially to go bump in the night, who were roaming the streets. All of these creatures had pale-white faces and hands, red eyes, and wore tight suits which were either red or black. One non-expecting victim, a young girl in her late teens, got surrounded by a group of these things. She was about to scream out of the top of her lungs, but just when she did, something else showed itself. It appeared as a young man, around his early twenties. His face looked as though he should have died long ago, his clothes made him appear as though he was a priest of some kind, but without a cross anywhere on his body or the trademark collar one would think otherwise. A parent's warning of never talking to strangers would apply here, as this young man was not Asian. As he approached the girl, the latter wanted to scream for help, but there was some kind of force that kept her from doing so. The man approached her, rubbed her cheek once she was within range, snickered at the sight of her terrified eyes, after which he revealed his canine teeth, which he brought closer to her neck. The girl widened her eyes as she felt something sting in her neck, but she could not resist against it in any way.
The next morning, Mr. Voice had a message to all the Boukengers: "Anyone read this morning's papers?"
All of the Boukengers exchanged looks, which suggested they hadn't.
"Why? You won the lottery?" Souta asked.
"This is not the right time for jokes!" Mr. Voice exclaimed, after which he made the newspaper article he was referring to appear on one of his screens, "It says here that a girl was found dead in the streets."
"Isn't that something for the police to solve?" Masumi asked.
"It would be if the police knew what they're after." Mr. Voice replied, "She was found without one drop of blood in her veins."
Verne was the first to look up at the sound of this, to which Natsuki said: "What's wrong?"
"Does it sound familiar?" Eiji asked.
Souta, however had it figured out: "Of course! They must know the Prince is here!"
"Apparently, we weren't discrete enough to transport it here." Verne remarked, "Now the vampires know he's here."
"Well, what do you want SGS to do then?" Mr. Voice asked.
Verne appeared to hold something back at first, then he said: "What else do we know?"
"The police doesn't tell much to the press, so you'll have to ask them ourselves." Mr. Voice replied.
"What's to know?" Natsuki wondered, "Natsuki-tachi know it's a vampire who did it."
"Yes, but of what type?" Verne reasoned, "There are many legends that tell of vampires, not all tell the same."
"He's right." Souta said, "It's always better to know the enemy better."
"You wouldn't wanna prepare to fight something if you're not sure what you're up against." Eiji said.
"Plus, we don't even know for sure if this one vampire is acting by itself, or more." Masumi said.
"Why prepare to fight a bear, when you're facing a lion!?" Verne added.
"Why do you keep acting like Natsuki is so dumb?" Natsuki wasn't too pleased about this.
"There are more people who should stop pretending." Verne remarked under his breath.
It took a while for Mr. Voice to say something, but he spoke eventually: "Anyway, Yellow and Black! You go ask the police about the body. Silver, should that prove ineffective, you should go investigate the crime-scene! And Blue and Emerald, you better take the prince and leave before sunset!"
"No 'kun' today?" Verne said, with a smirk on his face, to which the other four dropped their heads, which appeared new for Verne to see.
