"This was bigger than I expected." The doctor muttered to Alucard.
From the outside the bar looked very humble, the two immortals noticed this when they walked by. But inside was extravagant for a building that had been entirely constructed from materials in the nearby forests. There were English paintings on the walls and the bar was constructed in a very western style. It even supported a dance floor that filled to the brim with almost the entire populace.
Anderson was sitting at the end of the bar, no one dared to sit next to the hulking behemoth of a priest.
"Yer late." He said looking up at the two.
"There were complications." Alucard stood aside and displayed the doctors bandage.
Anderson grunted and went back to staring into space.
"So do they know we're 'ere?"
"Obviously. They sent a hit squad after us."
"Hmmm. Doctor are ye in good condition? And what of your friend?"
"He'll live. And the police girl is bringing Amillia Pond here." Alucard answered for him.
Just on que, the two very tired women came through the door, immediately receiving several dog whistles.
"Shut it. I don't want to have to kill someone again..." Seras growled.
"Have fun police girl?" Alucard said smirking.
Seras stayed silent, too tired to answer. They all sat back and waited for one of the staff to get to them. After a few minutes, they got the usual "what'll ya have" from a very unusual man. He was big, his accent American, but he appeared to be of Asian decent. His hair a messy black bundle of strands that fell down his face, obscuring one eye. He wore a tank top with an army logo in the bottom of his shirt.
Mike Miguire
Special Forces

He got an almost unanimous reply: "Water."
He looked up curiously then fetched some of the cleaner glasses. All who had ordered quickly chugged the contents and enjoyed instant cool relief.
"Where are you people from?"
"All over." The doctor said.
"What could a group of finally dressed individuals like yourselves find here?"
"Sight seeing. One sight in particular, that construction sight a little ways out." The doctor was curious how much the towns people knew.
"Strangest damn mansion I've ever seen." He said leaning back and polishing a glass.
"Mansion?"
"That's what the men said. Wanted to see if anyone wanted to work with em."
Work? Oh no. Does that mean that those ghouls were...
Seras shuddered at the thought. Some of the assailants were definitely freak servants.
"And convey a message, stay the hell away from their land. trespassers dig an early grave going by is the gist of what he said."
Anderson looked over and decided to join in.
"You don't think it really ah house do ya?"
"Not in the slightest father." He said leaning over. "And i'm assuming you aren't just taking pictures for fun are you."
Alucard leaned forward.
"Do you know something?"
"Yea. Follow me into the back."
He waved them over to behind the bar. Down in between the floor boards was an almost unnoticeable wooden hatch. He pulled it open and dropped in. The group followed one by one into the cellar. It was dark and rather stuffy below. The walls were dirt and you could hear the dancers above.
"It aint paradise by a long shot. But it's where me and my buddies sleep it off." The officer said pointing to several cots lined up against the wall.
Mike pulled a duffle bag out from under his bed and threw it up on a fold out wooden table. He unzipped it and dug around for a black box he had hidden. He removed a handfull of old ammo casings and some playboy mags labled 1971.
"Aha!"
He pulled out a black box and handed it to the doctor, who curiously peaked inside. Laying within was a stack of photos that slid out onto his palm. His eyes grew wide as he looked at them.
"These are-"
"Uhuh. Taken by me. And wait till ya see the last one."
The first showed a STAL(Short Takeoff And Landing)plane landing in what was being called the "Courtyard".
The second showed two men carrying a metal shell that had been obviously formed around a statue.
An angel statue.
The next couple showed them moving it and showing it to a tall blond man.
The fourth showed a garrison of troops being unloaded. The fifth showed a panzer tank driving out of the back.
The final one showed a large box, simply labeled:DANGER-UNSTABLE ALIEN WEAPON
"The death ray!" Amy said looking over the Doctor's shoulder.
She received glares from the rest of the group for saying what she thought out loud.
"Oh, so you do know what this is." The soldier crossed his arms and sat back on his cot.
ONE EXPLANATION LATER
"So...stolen alien lasers, statues that kill people, and nazi extremists. We aren't filming some B-movie action film are we?"
"I guarantee you can feel the special effects." Alucard grinned mischievously.
The group had silently agreed not to talk about the vampire part of things.
"Alright. Assuming this isn't some bullshit, I won't breathe a word about it. However, as an inactive soldier of the US military, it is my sworn duty to protect freedom and peace and crap. So if you need help on your little endeavor for the brits, call my boys out for battle."
Amy and Seras giggled a little bit at this.
"Alucard, we can't risk them studying that technology to the point where they can reproduce it. And if they can make them into what they are, then it would stand to reason that they can reverse engineer a life form like that angel and turn it against us." The doctor said sternly.
"I thought I'd say that because I didn't have the film, I didn't take pics of this, but they unloaded at least three more of those weeping things in metal containers." Mike said laying back.
"That's even worse! What if one get's loose! You want to stop this then you do it tomorrow morning, or it may already be to late."
Anderson nodded along with Alucard.
The time to strike was approaching.
