Ch.5: Vampire-Corvinus Strain Hybrid and the Ultimate Lifeform
One night, on the streets...
Everything was quiet on the streets. No criminal was causing trouble and everyone could sleep normally. But a shadowed figure was on the top of a building, watching the streets. The unknown figure was looking to see anything out of the ordinary. So far, nothing for now. Thinking she's wasting time, she jumped away.

Next morning in Ethan's house.
Ethan was snoring loudly as he was sleeping calmly on his bed. He was confident that Alphard won't haunt him again like last time. Then the light of the sun shines through the window.
With that, he groaned as he slowly opened his eyes. He yawned and stretched. "Quite a sleep I got, next time I'm buying me a sleep mask." He got up and brushed his teeth, have his breakfast, made his bed, and changed his clothes. Then he starts his daily push-ups and sit-ups. Next, he trained his muscles with his weights. And finally, took a shower.
Soon later, he was watching a movie on the living room, until the phone was heard. "Huh? What now?" he groaned. Ethan went to the phone and pick it on answering. "Hello?"
"Ethan Tidwell?"
"Good morning Kakashi." Ethan greeted through the phone.
"Can you go to the headquarters this afternoon? We have a special mission for you." Kakashi said.
Ethan nodded. "Okay, afternoon got it."
"See you later!"
Ethan held the phone off and kept watching the movie.
{000}
Right that afternoon, on the HQ...
Ethan stood, waiting to hear this next assignment.
"Ethan Tidwell?" a woman called. "Kakashi awaits you."
"Thank you." Ethan bowed politely. He entered on the room, where Kakashi waited. "Yo!" he greeted Kakashi.
"Ethan, good to see that you arrive. Sakura, Sam and Alura will be arriving soon. Did you make sure to bring Genie with you?" Kakashi asked.
"Now you mention it." Ethan snapped his fingers. "Genie!"
Genie appeared. "YOU CAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLEEEEEEEEDDDD?!" Ethan and Kakashi nodded. Genie stretched his body and his head span. "Man! That lamp Ethan has is much bigger than my former one!" he smirked.
"So it's basically not an itty bitty living space right?" Ethan guessed.
"Ha ha ha! Nice one, kid!"
"So, what is that important thing?" Ethan asked at Kakashi.
"When Sakura and the others show up." Kakashi responded.
"And speaking of that... Where are they?"
"Probably still getting ready." Kakashi told him. "They should be here shortly."
"All right." Ethan nodded.
"Kakashi!" Sakura's voice was heard.
Ethan, Kakashi and Genie turned to the source.
Sakura, Alura and Sam were there smiling.
"Hey, guys!" Ethan greeted them.
"Yo, Ethan! How are you, man?" Sam smirked.
"Good." Ethan replied. "Doing well! And you, fellas?" he asked.
"I can see you're here for today's mission." Sakura smiled.
"That's one way pointing that out." Ethan remarked.
They all laughed.
"Now that's out of the way, time to discuss to all of you on the new mission is about." Kakashi said, changing the subject. "There are proofs of a mysterious figure around the city every night." he told.
"Mysterious figure, so they have no clue its man or a woman right?" Ethan wondered.
"Exactly. Also, there are words about punks attacking people. So, you guys have double trouble this time. Or should I say... double mission." Kakashi nodded.
"Double, huh? Sounds complicated." Sam thought.
"Any last sight of them?" Ethan asked. "Or clue?"
"Nope, at the moment." Kakashi replied.
"I see." Ethan murmured. "So two missions and five of us."
"Guess we should split up to catch the punks and the figure." Sakura suggested.
"Sounds good." Sam agreed.
"Alright, who will be tasked on the punks while the other for the figure?" Alura wondered.
"Sakura and Alura. You girls can take care of the figure." Ethan thought. "As I, Genie and Sam take care of the punks."
"Are you sure?" Alura asked a bit unsure.
"It's just a couple of punks, what harm could they do to us?" Sam said.
"We'll smash them in PIECES!" Genie smashed the floor with a huge hammer.
Sakura and Alura looked at each other than shrugged. "Alright, your call boys." Sakura accepted. "But don't blame us if we can't help you."
"Don't worry, I'll be the one to say 'you told us so'." Ethan assured.
"Now that's growing up." Sakura smiled in a humble way.
"Meaning?" Ethan smirked.
"Nothing." Sakura smirked back.
"Luckily, I am not going to worry about that." Ethan said.
"Well then. Tonight, you'll go to the city and watch." Kakashi instructed. "Who knows when will they attack again?"
They nodded.
"Leave it to us!" Ethan thumbed up.
{000}
That night, Ethan, Sam and Genie were on the city, patrolling in the highway, making sure that the punks appeared to stop them. Ethan was looking out while Sam and Genie amused themselves on playing chess.
"No sign of them yet." Ethan frowned. He kept looking around.
"To think that I always lose to Carpet, but now I will try my luck with you, Sam." Genie said.
"Oh, really?" Sam smirked. Sam suddenly moved one of his pieces and took one of Genie's.
"That's a good move." Genie did an impression of Rodney Dangerfield. "I can't believe this I'm losing to a Clone Kid."
"Yo, Ethan! Any sign of them?" Sam called.
Not yet, pal!" Ethan replied. Then a scream of a female was heard. "Huh?"
"What was that?" Sam added.
"I think that is a sign of the punks harassing her." Ethan guessed.
"What are we waiting for then?! Let's get them!"
"Right!" Ethan nodded, "Genie! Let's go!"
"Got it!" Genie glared, "CHAAAAAAAAAAAARRGGGEEEE!" He turns into a soldier and charges.
"Wait for us, man!" Sam exclaimed.
{000}
In the other side of the street, a woman was walking back on fear.
Some punks walked slowly to her in a threatening way. And each of them had lustful gleam in their eyes.
"Stay away from me!" the woman demanded.
"Oh, come on, lady!" one of the punks smirked.
"All we needed is a female company to talk to." the other punk assured.
"Yeah!" the last one agreed.
"No! Get away!" the woman cried.
"Don't waste your screaming, no one will hear that." The other punk mocked.
"But I do!" Ethan's voice called.
Both the punks and the woman looked at the source of the voice to see Ethan on the roof of the building, looking down on them.
"Huh?! Who's that?!" one of the punks demanded.
"Just some nobody trying to be a hero." the other punk said ignorantly.
Ethan just ignored what other punk said. "One final chance! Leave that woman alone!"
The punks looked at each other, it doesn't look like they aren't going to heed his warning. "Go away, whoever you are!" one of them called.
Ethan sighed. If there's one thing he doesn't like is ignorant people that don't listen to reason and those that enjoy picking on the weak. "I warned you, and now all of you will pay for your idiotic choice." He jumped from a building where was and landed in front of them.
One of the punks decided to be bold and tried punching him. "Out of the way, runt!"
Ethan quickly grabbed the punk's hand. Then he twists the punk's hand, anyone could hear the crack of the bone in the wrist.
The punk screamed and gripped his wrist tightly in pain. The other punk looked at Ethan with fear present on his face.
Ethan gave them both a dark glare. "Now beat it!" He said coldly.
Then the fear that they had changed, instead they did the opposite. They growled as they began to change.
Ethan and the woman did not like where this is going.
Ethan turned his head a little to look at the woman. "You better get out of here, right now!"
"Right!" the woman nodded and ran away.
Ethan stared at the changing punks. He saw that their clothes are torn from the phenomenal transformation. "Whoa!" Ethan gasped. "I did not see that one coming."
They slowly turned into werewolves and roared.
"Is it just me or I'm on another horror movie?" Ethan groaned. He stood on his fighting pose. "Alright you overgrown mutts, come at me with everything you got!"
They roared and charged at him. Ethan charged too and they began to fight.
One of the werewolves intended to slash him with its claws. But Ethan dodged and back kicked him away. "Bad dog!" Ethan glared.
The other werewolves charged at him. Ethan laid a strong punch on the first werewolf in the cheek. And launched him away to a wall.
The other werewolf lunged at Ethan to clamp its jaws on him. But he jumped and stomped them on their heads. He grabbed them and launched them to trash cans.
They got out of the trash can, while the other got up from the wall and glared at Ethan with the intent on ripping his flesh apart. Before they could make a move gunshots were heard and much to Ethan's surprise, the werewolves fell to the ground plus they didn't get up.
Ethan warily stepped closer to see what the cause of it was, there he saw what it was. Each of them had a hole in their forehead and based on what he senses, their life force is depleted meaning that they are dead.
"What the...?!" Then his eye caught something, it look like a person who's clothing is a black tight cat suit and black high heel boots with trench coat that is also black, but the face that he can't identify because of the darkness. "This must be the mysterious figure that Kakashi was talking about." Ethan realized. "Hey! Why did you do that?! Sure what they have done and were about to do was not right but you don't have to go that far on killing them!"
The figure didn't replied though.
Ethan did caught a sight of two handguns each on the unknown individual's hands. The handguns called Beretta 92Fs also known as Beretta 93Rs, they were smoking so that means that this person used those firearms to kill those werewolves and this person must have good marksmanship of aiming. "Those are...!"
Then, the figure jumped away.
"Hey, wait!" Ethan called and chased. He ran as the figure vanished away. "You're not getting away from me!" He jumped up.
The figure jumped from roof to roof as Ethan did the same chasing it. "Whoever that person is good, but not good enough." He kept chasing it. "Come back!" But the figure ignored him.
'Man... Just... Who's that?' Ethan groaned on his mind. 'Well, I'll find out once I trap it!' Ethan grinned at the idea that formed. 'And I know just how.' He teleported.
The figure was so far and stopped to look around. "He must have given up." The voice of a female said. "I was starting to get sick of him, anyway."
"Oh, really?" Ethan's voice was heard.
The female looked startled. "No...!"
"There's one thing you should know about me." Ethan said.
"What?!"
"I never give up." Ethan replied. The female figure looked around. "You want a hint on where I am at?" Ethan voiced out.
"You better tell me!"
"Try looking up!"
The figure did so. "What?" She saw that made her eyes widen in shock. Ethan was standing in the air almost like the air was the ground. "But... how can you... fly?!"
"Simple really, just using my Ki as in my energy." Ethan answered.
"What's Ki?" The figure asked.
"A life force that resides in any creature whether be humans, animals, you name it." Ethan answered. "Now here's my question, why are you snooping around? Do so I'll drop on the subject of killing those punks and leave it as your personal reason." he said, giving this mysterious woman an option.
"Do you really want to know?" she asked. The mysterious woman beckons him to come over closer.
Ethan, confused at this, came over closer. "Alright, is this close enough?"
"Yes." the girl smirked. That's when the woman made her move.
"Huh?" Ethan gasped.
She gives a nasty punch at Ethan's cheek making him flinch. Some of Ethan's blood spilled to the ground while the other is one the woman's knuckle after she punched him. "Enough for you." She looked at the blood on her knuckles, and stared at it. Then the scent of the blood rushed into her nose. She licks on the blood on her knuckle. Needless to say, the blood tasted very good to her like there's something about it that is making her extremely intoxicated. She then shifted her hungry gaze on Ethan.
Ethan was not just disturbed when he saw her licked the blood and now he is more worried about her staring at him with a hunger look in her now revealed blue eyes.
Then as if that was enough, the full moon's bright light reveals the mysterious woman's appearance.
"What the...?!" Ethan gasped.
The woman was revealed to have dark brown hair and white skin that is on her hands and face.
"Hope you don't mind... if I have you for dinner!" she smirked. She dashes at him with a hungry intent. "TAKE YOUR BREATH OF FRESH AIR, BECAUSE IT WILL BE YOUR LAST!" she hissed.
"Whoa!" Ethan yelped. Even now he can see she has teeth that look like a vampire. 'Great, first werewolves and now a vampire. Things are just happening so fast!' He dodged her just in time, landing on other roof. 'It's time to fight back.' Ethan gets into his fighting stance. "Bring it on!" he called.
The vampire girl dashed at Ethan, but he dodged and kicked her in the back away. The vampire girl growled. "Hold still!"
"No thanks!" Ethan exclaimed. "Try to catch me!" he smirked.
The vampire growled and dashed at him.
They both fought in the air and dashed causing shockwaves.
{000}
Back to Sakura and Alura...
"This may be harder than we thought." Alura remarked.
"Yeah. That figure must be hiding so nicely." Sakura agreed.
"Indeed."
"And where could it be anyways?" Sakura asked.
"I wonder if the boys are having a better luck than we are." Alura said.
"Who knows..." Sakura growled.
Suddenly Alura's com beeped. "Alura here."
"Yo, Alura I believe Ethan, Genie and I found our target." Sam said over the comm.
"What? You sure?" Alura questioned.
"Yeah, the punks were not so ordinary, they turned into what look like werewolves, but the mysterious person you were originally looking for killed them." Sam replied from the comm.
"Killed them?!" Sakura exclaimed. "Where's Ethan?"
"Take a guess."
"He went after our target didn't he?" Alura guessed.
"Yes, he did." Sam answered in the comm.
"That figures." Sakura groaned. "We'll be right there to help him!" she said.
"Roger! We will need more help than ever!" Sam agreed. "Sam, out!"
Then Alura and Sakura looked at each other, nodding. The com turns off and they both ran away.
"Come on!" Sakura glared.
"Alright, alright! Just hold your horses!" Alura exclaimed, using her telekinesis to fly as a way to keep up with Sakura who was leaping from a building to another.
{000}
Back to Sam and Genie...
They both were looking for Ethan.
"Man, I thought for a moment there that Sakura or Alura were gonna say "I told you so", but I guess not." Sam sighed.
"Meaning, buddy?" Genie asked.
"You know! How much Sakura and Alura care for Ethan!"
"Man, you already know him..." Genie displays as Rocky, "Always kicking butts!"
"Let's worry about later, and focusing on finding Ethan and the mysterious person." Sam said, changing the subject.
Suddenly, some fighting hits were heard and they both looked up.
Genie got a telescope and check out. Then he starts talking like a pirate. "Had, mate! Looks like Ethan flies in the sky fighting someone!"
"It looks like a young woman dressed in all black with a black trench coat as well." Genie added, identifying the mysterious person.
"Huh?!" Sam looked up. "What are waiting for?! Let's help Ethan!" he exclaimed.
Suddenly, some shadowed figures with red eyes showed up from the sky and landed around them.
"What the?" Sam looked confused.
The figures growled and walked slowly to them.
"Looks like trouble." Sam glared.
"Let's goof 'em!" Genie glared too. "Right!" both he and Sam exclaimed.
The figures charged but Genie got boxing gloves and punched them away.
Other figures charged but Sam, using his hand to hand skills knocked them out. "I don't know why these guys suddenly show up out of the blue, but I have a feeling that they may be trying to keep us from helping Ethan." Sam guessed. "Let's take them down!" He kicked one of them, knocking it out and turned his body into steel. "Let's see if they can surpass my strength!" he exclaimed.
{000}
Back to Ethan and the female figure...
They both were panting staring at each other.
"Listen lady, I don't know what is about my blood you want so badly but I will take you in for questioning." Ethan said. "Who are you?" he demanded.
The girl was quiet, but she replied, "Since it'll be your last to remember, my name is Selene." The woman now revealed as Selene said.
"Okay, Selene. Why did you killed those punks and what do you want?" Ethan asked.
"I thought you said you won't ask about that." Selene reminded with a narrowed expression.
"I did." Ethan remembered then frowned. "However the moment you punched me, I took it as a no."
Selene just chuckled. "Maybe I'll tell you, for a payment."
Ethan raised his eyebrow. "What kind of a payment?"
"Come closer, this won't be a punch in the face this time." Selene assured.
Ethan frowned. He was not sure if listen her or not. "Can I have your word?"
"Trust me, boy. You won't regret it."
Ethan was somewhat irked on being called 'boy' but he didn't show it. "Alright." He sighed. He walked closer to her until he was there. "Okay, now what is the payment you want?"
Selene was quiet. She cups her hand on both of Ethan's cheeks, this action made Ethan blushed thinking that she is going to kiss him. However she did the opposite. She tilts Ethan's head to the right side exposing his neck to her.
"What?!" Ethan gasped.
Then, Selene stabbed her fangs on Ethan's neck.
Ethan yelled in pain as she kept sucking it. "Stop... it!" he groaned.
Selene used her other hand to wrap around his waist to keep him in place. As she was still sucking, she was also looking through Ethan's memories from his blood. Ethan was getting weak, and when Selene finished, he collapsed on the ground.
Selene looked at Ethan in interest. "You're a strange one, your blood tastes like a human but also something else."
Ethan couldn't reply because he felt weak about what she did to him.
"Though you and I are somewhat like, your parents were murdered as mine were." She continued.
"Huh...?" Ethan looked up at her.
"And you wished to find your parents murderer someday."
"What...?!" Ethan looked shocked. "You... what..."
"I saw everything in your memory as I sucked your blood." Selene explained. "Still I didn't suck much blood from you." she said. "So, consider yourself lucky you can still have everything."
"Huh?" Ethan looked at Selene with a confused expression. "But, what are you doing here? What do you want?" he wanted to know. "Tell me!"
Selene looked silent. "Since you made a payment with your blood, I'll tell you."
Ethan listened carefully.
"I am searching for Michael, while on a look out for Lycans." Selene answered.
"Michael?" Ethan asked in confusion.
"He's... My lover." Selene replied.
"I see, well good for ya." Ethan said, he remembered that the other things that she mentioned. "You mention the Lycans as in werewolves right?"
"Yes." Selene nodded. "And the humans have become aware of our existence and wish to exterminate all Vampires and Lycans alike."
"Even if there were those that mean no harm?" Ethan asked.
"Yes."
Ethan frowned. "And to think they are better than Hitler, I guess not they are obviously no better than him." For some reason he is starting to feel disappointed with the human race that they fear and hate things that will never understand. He remembered that Selene mentioned something else before. 'She mentioned that my blood tasted like human, so does that mean I am a hybrid of a Saiyan and human...?'
He looked at her. "You said my blood tasted like humans one, right?" he asked.
Selene raised her eyebrow in wonder. "Yes, I did. You sound like you are surprised."
"Because I am!"
"Oh, really?" Selene stared. She remembered how Ethan's blood tasted, there no doubt human, but there some other things mixed with it. "Yes, but... Somehow... I felt you were something else too." She remembered when she was sucking his blood. She heard Ethan's voice in his memory that would answer her question. "What is a Saiyan?"
"Huh?" Ethan stared in surprise.
"You know it, do you?" Selene asked crossing her arms.
"Well yeah, I didn't know that I just learned it. I thought I was a full blood, but I guess not." Ethan answered.
"So, you recently discovered it, isn't it?"
"Yup."
Ethan turned, "And I'm still looking clues about myself."
"I see."
Ethan nods. Ethan's com went off signaling that someone is contacting him. "Ethan here."
"Ethan, man! You okay?!" Sam asked in worry.
"Yeah, why do you ask?" Ethan wondered.
"You catch the figure, didn't you?"
Ethan stared at Selene, wondering how to explain this. "Well sort of."
"What?"
"We came into an agreement, this person I sort of caught is Selene." Ethan replied.
"Huh?" Sam demanded, "What in the world are you talking about?"
Ethan sighed. "That woman; Selene was the mysterious person who was on a search for her boyfriend; Michael."
"Oh, I see." Sam replied.
"So by the way, what happen with you and Genie while I was occupied?" Ethan asked.
"We been surrounded by some mysterious figures, but we knocked them out."
Ethan looked confused. "Do you get a chance to find out who or what they are?"
"Not sure, they're gone." Sam's response made Ethan frown.
"Gone, like as in vanished, disappeared like they were never there?" Ethan questioned.
"Exactly, I don't even know where they'd go neither." Sam replied.
Ethan frowned. "Hold on a second..." He turned to Selene, "You know those figures?"
Selene shook her head. "No, I never met them before."
"Think you can help us then?" he asked.
"What will I get in return?" Selene questioned.
"S.H.E.L.D.S's protection and help ya find your lover." Ethan's proposal put her in a thought.
"Would you do that?" she asked.
"Absolutely!" Ethan grinned.
Selene thought and nodded, "Deal." They both shook their hands in agree.
"I better contact Sakura and Alura to let them know about this." He activated the communicator, "Sakura? Alura?" He got no response from neither. "Mmm? That's weird..." Ethan mumbled, looking concerned.
"What's wrong?" Selene asked.
"Sakura nor Alura aren't responding, that's not like them..." Ethan frowned.
Selene frowned, "Just pray they don't fall in Dracula's hands."
Ethan looked at her when he heard her mention someone. "Dracula? Are we talking like..."
"King of vampires." she replied.
"I thought so." Ethan sighed.
"Really?"
"Yeah, I heard of them on books and stories." Ethan replied.
"I see..." Selene crossed her arms.
Ethan went on to get back on with Sam and Genie.
And Selene followed him.
{000}
Back to Sam and Genie...
"So I take it Eth is okay?" Genie guessed.
"It seems so. He shouldn't be late." Sam replied.
"Hey!" a voice called.
Both Genie and Sam turned to the source of the voice.
It was Ethan, along with Selene.
"Yo Ethan!" Sam waved. Then he notices Selene. "Who is she?"
"Selene, the woman I told you about." Ethan answered.
"Oh."
Genie examined her. "Hmm... You look like... pale..."
Selene's eyebrow twitched. "Just... who is this?" she asks.
"This is Genie." Ethan introduces to his blue friend.
"Genie?" Selene raised her eyebrow. "Hmm... I heard of them. They can grant you any three wishes." Something she remembers on what these cosmic beings can do.
"Yup, but he's now free." Ethan pointed at Genie.
"Now this is the first time I meet a Genie, a free one." Selene remarked.
"Next, this is Sam." Ethan introduced to his colleague.
"Hi." Sam waved.
"Since I didn't introduced myself before, my name is-" Ethan was about introduced himself to the black haired woman but was interrupted by her.
"Ethan Tidwell." Selene said as Ethan looked at her in shocked but then he remembered that when she sucked his blood she saw his memory so that is how she knew his name.
"Yeah." Ethan then frowned as he looked at Sam. "We got a problem, I tried to contact Sakura and Alura, but unfortunately I didn't receive any response back from them."
"What?" Sam asked.
"I don't know what happened at them." Ethan glared. "But I have bad feeling about this..."
"Meaning?" Sam was worried.
"Selene mentioned Dracula, the king of vampires may somehow be involve." Ethan responded with a grim expression.
"You won't tell me..." Sam gulped.
Unknown to them, a shadowed figure was watching on a roof. Without wasting time, it jumped from the roof and landed in front of them.
Genie was scared out of his wits. "Zoinks!"
"Oh, great!" Sam glared at the figure.
The figure pulls the hood off revealing its face to them.
"It can't be...!" Ethan gasped.
"He's..." Sam added.
"A vampire!" Selene glared.
"Wait...!" Ethan raised his hand.
"Selene...why didn't you kill him?" a voice asked on Selene's mind.
"You didn't ask me, Dracula." Selene scowled.
"But he's a human."
Selene frowned. "He's more than a human." she said.
"Is that so...then that must explain why you spared him." the calm voice said in the female vampire's head. The figure stared at Ethan. "You..."
Ethan looked wary.
"You are... more than a human."
"Huh? How do you...?" Ethan was speechless.
"One of my minions watched you and Selene fight and reported on what happened."
"What?!"
"It seems you were spying us." Selene glared.
A chuckled was heard. "Why of course, you were once a vampire then a hybrid that can walk in sun light which to me, that felt like you stolen what I dreamed for then now your fight with this boy has revealed to me that there is another blood source that can outclass that of Captain America's to help me attain mine own."
"Huh?" Ethan looked confused.
"You will be useful, boy." the figure smirked. "That's why I took the liberty of having your female companions in my clutches waiting to be turned."
"What?! You mean..." Ethan gasped, "Sakura! Alura! What did you do to them?!"
"Nothing...yet!" the figure said.
"Just...who are you?" Ethan demanded angrily.
"I believe Miss Selene told you, did she not?"
Ethan realized who he is really talking to. "The king of all vampires, Dracula!"
"In the flesh." He revealed himself showing his pale face.
"And I thought you looked ugly." Ethan scoffed. He received a chuckle from the king of vampires, he knows that Dracula is offended he is just not going to show it.
"Not happy to see me?"
"Nope, but I would like to know what're you doing here." Ethan replied.
"And why you kidnapped Sakura and Alura?" Sam added.
"You really want to know?" Dracula smirked and they nodded.
"Spit it out!" Ethan demanded.
"If you want their lives to be spared, you have to do one thing." Dracula instructed.
What?" Ethan frowned.
"Exchange their lives for yours." Dracula answered.
"What?!"
Selene narrowed her expression. She has a pretty good idea what Dracula wants.
"You have until midnight to make your choice." Dracula said. He flew away.
"Hey, wait!" Ethan called, "Damn!"
"No kidding!" Sam said.
Selene stared at them, "I'll guide you. I know where he's going actually."
"Where?" Ethan glared.
"His home in Transylvania." Selene replied.
"Let me guess... A castle?" His response was nod from the black haired woman. "I knew it."
"We must go there now!" Sam exclaimed.
"Genie!" Ethan called.
"Right!" Genie saluted.
"Please, take us to Dracula's castle in Transylvania!"
"Got it!" Genie turns into a plane.
"Alright, let's pay Dracula a visit!" Sam exclaimed.
"Selene! Wanna come?" Ethan asks.
Selene shrugged. She hopped. "Let's go."
Plane Genie flew up at high speed.
{000}
Inside of a dungeon...
"Ugh... My head..." Sakura groaned, waking up. She opened her eyes and recover herself. "Huh, where am I?" Sakura trying to recall what happened. "I remember that Alura and I were gonna meet up with Ethan and the others and then..."
She looked around and found out she's inside a dungeon. "Huh?!" She found herself trapped and bound. "How did I-" she realized on remembering on what happened. "That monster!" She realized something else and growled, "And someone mind to tell me why am I bound?!" she yelled. She also noticed that Alura is not with her. "Huh? Alura?" She looked around, "Alura!" But she gets no response. "This is not good. I must communicate Ethan!"
"I believe that won't be necessary, my dear."
"Huh? Who said that?!" She looked around, "Show yourself!"
"Very well." The same voice gave her chills in spine. A bat appeared flying and poofed revealing to be... Dracula.
Sakura carefully took on the king of vampires' appearance. He had white skin, white hair tied to a ponytail, red eyes and a red armor. "Who...are you?!" Sakura asked a bit frightened. If seeing one pale person like Oorichimaru was bad enough, this guy also takes the cake. "I asked you, who are you?!"
"Ah yes, where are my manners." Dracula said, not feeling threatened by the pink haired kunoichi as he gave a bow. "I am Dracula, king of the vampires."
"D-Dracula?!" Sakura gasped. "What do you want from me?!"
"Oh, something from you..." Dracula walked to her. Dracula's red eyes glowed.
"What?" Sakura asked in fear.
Dracula stared at her quietly, and somehow, he hypnotized her. Sakura's pupils on her eyes vanished with that. "Now, you shall obey me..." Dracula hissed.
"Yes... master..." Sakura said on a zombie like voice. Dracula smirked in satisfaction.
{000}
Back to Ethan and the others...
Ethan, Sam and Selene are in the seat, discussing on who they are dealing with.
"So Sam, what did you find out about Dracula from S.H.E.I.L.D.S database?"
"I heard he once teamed up with Captain America." Sam replied.
Ethan looked surprised while Selene raised her eyebrow at this.
"Dracula, helping one of the Avengers?" she asked.
"This was at World War II, against HYDRA. They invaded Dracula's home and he was without a doubt not happy." Sam answered with a frown.
"That's how it lead to the king of vampires on teaming up with the Super Soldier?" Ethan guessed.
Sam nodded. "That's right."
"Whoa!" Ethan gasped. "So what is this guy's powers, abilities and weaknesses?"
"He can use mind control to control his victims." Selene replied. "He also has superhuman strength, speed, stamina, agility, and reflexes, regenerative healing factor, shapeshifting and immortality." She added.
"Is there a way to avoid his hypnosis?" Ethan asked.
"Fortunately yes, if you are wearing reflective lens that would protect from his hypnotic stare." Sam mentioned.
"And since he is vampire he is weak to garlic, silver, sunlight and presence of religious symbols?" Ethan guessed.
"Very clever." Selene smiled smugly.
"That's what you get when you read stories and watch movies about him."
"Figures."
She said with a deadpan stare. At least that makes it easier for her on explaining less things to him.
"We are here!" Sam called.
"We are coming to our destination!" Genie warned. "Please don't move until the plane makes a perfect landing!"
"You heard him, guys!" Sam grinned. "Hang on, Sakura! Hang on, Alura! We are coming!"
Ethan nodded.
{000}
Back to the castle...
Alura was on another floor groaning. She opens open eyes. "Where am I?" she asked confused. She looked around, and she could see she was in a dungeon. "How did I...wait I remember that pale guy attacked Sakura and I." Alura remembered. "Sakura! Sakura?! Where are you?!" she called.
Suddenly, she looked at the entrance and could see Sakura, who had a blank stare on her face.
"Sakura, are you alright?" Alura asked warily. But, Sakura didn't say nothing. She walked slowly at Alura, making her stare in worry. "Sakura...?"
Alura can imagine sirens in her head telling her that something is not right. "Sakura, what's wrong?" she asked as Sakura was now so close to her. Suddenly, her eyes widen in shock. Outside the castle, her loud scream was heard.
Ethan, Sam, Selene and Genie heard the scream right after landing.
"Something tells me that's Alura." Genie guessed while freaked out.
"Man, that scream of her really freaked me out." Sam agreed.
"And it must be really bad." Selene said.
"I don't want to imagine what is happening at her and Sakura." Ethan glared.
"So, what are you waiting for? Rescue them!" Selene exclaimed.
"No need to rush us Selene, there are two odd things that put me unease." Ethan began with a frown. "I can sense that Sakura and Alura are alright but their energy patterns are off in not a good way and I can't sense Dracula's so that means either he is masking it or since he is an undead he can't give off his energy that makes him extremely undetectable."
"Figures." she shrugged.
"Genie! Please, find them!" Sam begged to Genie.
"You got it!" Genie changed back and flew up to the castle.
Ethan narrowed hard. "Sakura... Alura... Please..."
Genie lashed through the door without opening and looked around.
"Helloooooo~?" he called. No response. "Guess they're sleeping at this hour." he flew forward to the hall.
As he flew he saw two shadowed figure as he got closer the show figures revealed as Sakura and Alura whom had their backs turned. "Yo, girls! I'm here!" Genie grinned flying towards them to hug them. "Ethan and the others are worried sick!" he hugged them tightly. He received no response from either the females. Just complete silence. "Uh, girls?"
He shook his hand in front of their faces. "Hello? Are you sick?" He turns into a doctor. "Okay, open your mouth and say Aaaahhh!" He gets a different response, being lifted off the ground! "Alura, what are you doing?!" Genie exclaimed.
The girls raised their heads, revealing their eyes glowing without pupils and glaring.
To Genie, that means they are victims of hypnotized by the king of vampires. "Oh, man...! I must report Ethan about this!" he flew away.
Outside the castle, Ethan was trying to open the door, kicking it. "Trying to hard ball are you huh?"
Selene stared at Ethan with unreadable expression that he is talking to a door.
"Doors can't talk, you know?" she glared.
"Trust me, I said something similar to him before and that didn't do a thing." Sam said to Selene.
"Really?" she rolled her eyes.
Just then, with a final kick, Ethan managed to open the door. "Phew, finally!" Ethan sighed.
"At least it didn't take ten kicks to open the door." Sam pointed out the bright side.
"Yeah, it only took three kicks this time." Ethan agreed.
"Never mind that. Let's enter." Selene shrugged.
"Right! Let's go!" Ethan ran inside the castle as the others followed him.
As Ethan ran through the hall, Genie came to him, stopping him.
"Ethan, kid! Big trouble ahead!" Genie called.
Ethan frowned. "Don't tell me Sakura and Alura are hypnotized?" He guessed.
"Yes, they are! They are under Dracula's control!" Genie dressed as Dracula.
"I asked you not to tell me that." Ethan sighed. "That aside, things just escalated further in a bad way."
"What do you mean?" Genie asked.
"That Dracula must know we already are here!" Ethan replied.
Sam and Selene show up now.
"Nice, how did you know?" Selene asks.
"I took a wild guess." Ethan responded.
"Hey, look!" Sam pointed.
They turned and saw Sakura and Alura walking to them. Followed by Dracula in the middle, behind them. "I was expecting you called to enter...instead storming in without permission." he smirked.
"Dracula!" Ethan glared, "Bring our friends back!" he ordered.
"Make me!" Dracula snapped his fingers.
Sakura dashed at Ethan and his team while Alura used her magnetism to bring out anything that is metal. Selene kept a good grip on her guns to make sure that they don't get taken.
When Alura threw the metal stuff at them Selene shot destroying them.
Then, she jumped and tried to shot a ray to neutralize Alura. But Sakura got in between intent on punching her with her monstrous strength.
Selene dodged her punch and kicked her back. 'Something is odd, I felt stronger than before...was it from Ethan's blood after drinking it?' Selene wondered curiously.
Alura charged at her as she noticed.
'No time to figure out.' Selene thought.
She dashed backward dodging it and jumped up to a wall to jump dash after her to a kick.
The kick launched Alura away, crashing her to a wall.
The mind-controlled Sakura set her sights on Ethan.
"Sakura! It's me, Ethan! Don't you recognize me?" Ethan tried to get her back to her senses.
But Sakura charged at him. The mind-controlled kunoichi tosses out shurikens at Ethan. But Ethan easily bats them away without any scratches being made. He dodged a punch of hers and grabbed her by the arms.
"Sakura! Please, snap of out it!" he begged.
Sakura struggled, and back kicked him on the stomach.
Ethan groaned in pain, a little.
Sam watched this. "Genie! You must do something! Use your magic to make her come back to her senses!" he said.
"Well, I don't grant wishes anymore, but maybe I can do something!" Genie nodded.
He turns himself into a gong.
"Uh... Will this work?" Sam asked in confusion staring at him.
"Well there are many other methods to try if this doesn't work." Genie responded.
Sam shrugged and punched the gong. The impact caused a loud sound that made Sakura and Alura yell, covering their ears in pain.
"Now that is what I call getting an earful." Ethan joked, who had his ears covered by each of his hands.
The two girls soon stopped yelling and collapsed to the ground.
"Sakura! Alura!" Sam gasped.
Ethan ran to them and checked out to see if they were okay. He hears breathing from the two females. "Good news! They're fine!" he smirked.
Sam sighed in relief, "Good to know." Sam turn his gaze at Dracula. "Now it's just you against us."
Dracula pressed his fist in rage, "Very well! Tonight...I shall drink YOUR blood!"
He charged at Ethan, his intended target. "Starting with you!"
Ethan glared and got ready, "Bring it on!"
"You sealed your fate!" Dracula replied.
They both charge and fought.
They fought with combos, as Dracula tried to slash Ethan, but he dodged.
Ethan retaliated with firing an energy wave at the king of Vampires.
It hit Dracula, hurting him as it launched him to a wall.
'I know I scored a hit, but that doesn't mean I get excited...it'll take more than that to defeat the king of vampires like Dracula.' Ethan thought to himself. 'But what?'
Dracula comes out of the wall with the wounds he received from the Ki blast healing.
"Incredible...! Who... who are you...?" he asked in surprise.
"I am Ethan Tidwell, a hybrid of Saiyan and human." Ethan answered.
"What?! Saiyan... human... at same time? But... what... what's a Saiyan?" Dracula asked.
"An alien warrior race." Ethan said.
"Alien?" For Dracula, that was an unknown word.
Selene now fully understands what Ethan is. "Now I see..." she whispered. 'I'll ask him for more after this.' She thought. 'Right now, he must focus on his fight.'
Ethan remembered something before they arrived at Dracula's castle. 'That's right, his weakness is...'
"The sun!" Ethan looked at the window. The dawning was coming slowly, but it was the perfect time. 'It just needs more time...' Ethan frowned. He turned to Dracula.
"What are you staring at?" Dracula demanded.
Soon, Ethan smirked. "Your time has come, Dracula!"
The king of vampires narrowed his expression. "What?"
Selene wondered what Ethan meant. 'What did he mean by that?'
"We just need to fight you some more!" Ethan exclaimed.
Dracula growled. "Are you really in such a hurry to die!? Very well!" He dashed at him.
"Bring it on!" Ethan called. He got ready to fight. Ethan dashed at the king of vampires.
They both clashed causing a shockwave as everyone stared.
The two rivals did combos at each other, causing more shockwaves as they teleported everywhere, still fighting.
Sam looked at the window and saw the sun rising up a bit more. 'So that is what Ethan's doing.' Sam realized. He grinned. "Ethan is a genius!" he said. "Genie, turn into a mirror and reflect the sun light here!" he asked to Genie.
"You got it, boy!" Genie smirked.
Genie turned into a mirror and stood on a perfect point, "This should do it!"
The sunlight shined on the mirror and the reflection directs the light on the intended target; Dracula. "AGHHH!" he yelled, "UGH... WHAT..."
"Dracula, I believe that it is time for you to get tan." Ethan said.
"WHY YOU...?! AAAAAAARRRRRRRGGGGGHHHHHH!" Dracula couldn't take it anymore and he was getting weak.
"It's over, Vampire King!" Ethan called.
Dracula growled in pain. "I'll be back, someday! And when I do, your blood will be mine!" He vanished into dust.
"Really?" Selene smirked.
So now, Sakura and Alura groaned as they woke up slowly.
Ethan, Sam and Genie looked on their teammates waking up. "Girls!" Ethan ran to them.
"Are you alright?" he shook Sakura to wake her up.
"Ethan?" Sakura moaned. "Are you okay?" she asked.
"I should asking you that." Ethan responded. "Are you girls okay?"
"I can't remember nothing. What happened?" Alura asked.
Selene give them a short story on what happened. "And that's what happened." she finished.
"Where's that bastard Dracula?!" Sakura snapped.
"He's gone." Selene replied.
Sakura tightens her fist. "Well, he deserved it after all...!" she growled.
"Well then. Let's come back home. I had enough of vampires." Sam sighed.
"Alright, also set up a chat with Fury for Selene here." Ethan added with pointing his thumb at the mentioned person.
"Why?" she asked.
"To see that he and his resources help you on your search for Michael." Ethan answered.
"Would they do that...? For me?" she asked surprised.
"Yeah!" Sam assured.
"I am a man of my word and I never go back on my word." Ethan said.
Selene smiled, "Thank you. I guess... I should stop biting you now."
Ethan laughed at that. "You can count it, since you already some of my energy." he assured.
Selene nodded. "It would be useful for me." she said.
Sakura frowned. "Ethan, what is she talking about?"
"Well... Let's just say... She noted my neck." Ethan gulped.
Sakura's frown deepens. "She what?" She pressed her fists with fury.
Ethan paled so bad that Dracula and Oorichimaru would feel like that they are not the only ones.
"Uh... Sakura. I'm fine! Really!" he gulped.
But Sakura yelled, "YOU'RE SO DEEEEAAAAADDDDD!"
Selene dodged her fists as she sighed, "Will you calm down? Your friend is alive."
But Sakura kept trying to punch her as she roared like a beast as the others sighed in defeat.
We now see the full moon as Sakura's yelling were still hearing, "I'LL KILL YOU!"
The end...
