Chapter 6: Blood King Mode: The Friendly Librarian and the Baka Trio
"He looks like…" Jean's eyes widen in shock.
"Alucard… but an evil version of him." Bridget narrowed her eyes fiercely at the evil doppelganger of Alucard. "I can't explain it, but I can sense an evil aura emitting from that fake Alucard."
"I guess you have the same ability as mine, Bridget." Rem commented on Bridget's newfound skill.
"Alucard…" The fake Alucard spoke in a demonic voice as he unsheathed his sword and pointed it at the real Alucard. "Why are you still siding with those pathetic humans? Have you forgotten what they did to your mother in the past?"
"I haven't forgotten…" The real Alucard looked down solemnly, but he regain his composure and glared at his evil lookalike. "But I still will continue her wish of helping the humans. If you will stand in our way, so I have no choice but to destroy you."
The fake Alucard laughed cruelly before saying "You don't stand a chance against me! I have all your moves and powers!" The fake Alucard charged at the party, forcing them to evade his attack.
"Why you!" Tsubasa growled as she charged at the fake Alucard and attempted to slash him, but to everyone's surprise, he blocked her attack with one hand before punching her away. Tsubasa recovered from that attack and charged at the fake Alucard again, but he leaped up out of Tsubasa's range.
The fake Alucard then charged at Jean who screamed in fright before Alice got in front of him and fired her guns at the evil lookalike of Alucard, but he deflected her shots with his sword before he slashed her vertically, giving her some wounds.
"Is that it? I expected more of a challenge than this…" The fake Alucard mocked as his sword rested on his shoulders.
"There's plenty more where that came from!" Mai retorted as she made three clones of herself and they charged at the fake Alucard, punching and kicking him. But the fake Alucard blocked every attack and did a spinning attack, knocking the Mais off their feet and knocked them to the ground.
"Damn it, he's strong!" Inuyasha growled as he charged in like a raging bull towards the fake Alucard, but the evil doppelganger smirked as soon as Inuyasha attempted to land a hit on him, he sidestepped the slash and gave Inuyasha a slash of his own, knocking him back and leaving a flesh wound on his chest.
"We have to stay strong over this challenging foe!" Tomoe advised as she charged at the fake Alucard with her katana, but the evil doppelganger slashed and made a wind attack which pushed the miko back a bit.
"Hiraikotsu!" Sango launched her bone boomerang at the fake Alucard, but he warped out of the way, and reappeared behind Sango who spooked her and she has to dodge a slash from the fake.
"He's too powerful!" Maron gawked as she sees Kirara getting handed to her by the fake Alucard.
"We won't lose! We can't die here!" Lili said through gritted teeth as she charged at the fake Alucard, but he punched her away, implanting her in a wall, Lili was out throughout the entire fight.
"What should we do?! He's too powerful!" Bridget worriedly stammered, suddenly, she noticed the real Alucard glowing with red energy. "A-Alucard?"
The real Alucard said nothing for about a good thirty seconds before he let out a scream of fury as a red aura engulfed him. When the aura dispated, the real Alucard's friends gasped as they see Alucard in a new form.
His hair is now black and long, dark large devil like wings out of his back, his right bicep is exposed, he wore white pants with runic symbols, his feet are exposed and they looked like a demon's feet. On his left bicep is a half black armor with a green ruby embedded in it, his eyes are glowing red.
The fake Alucard was alarmed by this. "W-What the hell is that?! I never have that!"
Alucard narrowed his eyes fiercely at his fake. "Foul demon copy of me from the darkness of evil… By my blood, I will destroy you!" He charged at his fake.

The fake Alucard tried to block the real Alucard's punches, but he did a lower punch on his fake, making him recoil for a bit. The real Alucard then slams his leg down on his fake's chest, slamming him into the ground.
Bridget and the others looked at the powerful force the real Alucard has inflicted on his fake.
"W-What is that form? It's so… powerful and frightening…" Dizzy stammered in fright as she felt a shiver up her spine.
"I don't know why, but…" Bridget murmured in awe. "Alucard has complete control over that form he is now in."
"Maybe it's a full fledge demon form like Inuyasha's?" Kagome covered her mouth in shock.
"Y-Yeah…" Inuyasha nodded slowly.
The fake Alucard got up and tried to slash the real Alucard, but the real Alucard smirked as he grabbed the sword and swats it out of his fake's hand and he did a rapid thirty punch attack on his fake before punching him in the chest, knocking him into a wall.
The fake Alucard weakly stands up and gawked as he sees the real Alucard's wings glowing a fiery red.
"Vile imposter created from darkness… There is no escape for you as you enter the gates of Hell!" The real Alucard growled as the wings glowed a brighter red. "Hell's Inferno!" The wings fired a powerful fire snake like attack which hit the imposter dead on. The imposter screamed in agony as his remains entered the stone portal structure and it closed after that.
Alucard reverted back to his normal form and turned to his friends who were amazed and a bit scared of his other form.
"Alucard, before I ask…" Alice stuttered for a bit. "What… in God's name is that form?"
"Yeah… It's a bit higher than the Demon King's power." Junko added, still wide eyed from such a powerful form.
Alucard sighed for a moment and then said "That… was my Blood King Mode."
"Blood King Mode?" Rem repeated what Alucard said to his friends with a confused tone. Lili and Mai have recovered from their injuries.
"It's my most powerful form. In that form, I have complete control and my power increases to 75 percent." Alucard stated as he crossed his arms.
"That's… higher than Naraku's power!" Inuyasha's eyes turn white dotted after hearing the abilities of Alucard's Blood King Mode.
The party remained silent for a moment before Sonico said with a small smile "For some reason, I feel relieved whenever Alucard uses Blood King Mode."
"I agree with Sonico. With Alucard around, those monsters are no match for us." Bridget closed her eyes and smiled.
"I agree as well." Tomoe closed her eyes and smiled. Everyone but Inuyasha agreed as well.
"Now then, shall we move on?" Rem smiled brightly.
As the party left the fake Alucard's room, they saw a gladius stuck in the ground and it looked brand new. This gladius was not a dagger, but rather a regular sword used by Romans in Ancient Rome.
"Hey, Alucard…" Bridget pointed at the sword stuck on the ground. "I believed that is a Gladius, a sword used in Ancient Rome. I bet it's much better than the sword you're using. Perhaps we can take it with us?"
"Indeed." Alucard agreed as he placed his short sword into his subspace pocket and picked up the Gladius and sheathed it near his hip. "It may not be powerful as my mother's heirloom sword, but it'll do. Let's press on."
The party were back in the tower like structure area, but now they have no idea where to go next.
"This could be a problem… Most of us can't reach the upper areas of this castle. Leaving us at a stump." Rem muttered, placing her hand on her chin and began pondering on what to do.
"What should we do? The monsters in this castle aren't friendly to tell us where to go." Maron looked down, feeling defeated that their journey has been halted by the lack of abilities. Alucard was thinking about this until he told the party this:
"I know someone who can help." All eyes turned to face their leader with surprised looks.
"You know somebody in this castle, do you?" Inuyasha demanded. "Alright, spill it."
Alucard looked away from Inuyasha, still cannot tolerate his childish behavior. "He lives in the Library of this castle and he can give us the info we need. He's an old servant of mine."
"So what are we waiting for? Let's go see this old man then!" Shippo beamed as everyone agreed and they except for Inuyasha headed for the library of this castle. Inuyasha was in deep thought about this.
'Alucard is hiding something, I know it! I just have to see if he can be trusted or not…' He thought to himself as he followed his friends into the library.
The Library was full of hundreds of bookcases, making Bridget and Alice drooling at the vast amounts of knowledge that can be gained from reading these ancient books.
Alucard then noticed an old man wearing a red robe with a red beret, smiling to himself, Alucard motioned everyone to follow him and they approach the old man reading at his desk.
"It's been a long time, old one…" Alucard smiled slightly.
The old man gasped as he rose up from his seat and with happiness, said "Oh! It is you, Master Alucard!"
"Master Alucard?!" Alucard's friends gasped in surprise and most of them recoil from shock. The old man noticed Alucard's friends.
"Who are your friends? And I think one of them is the girl required for the dreaded Master Plan." Everyone introduced themselves and the old man introduced himself as the Librarian.
"Please, sir. We need your help in stopping the Master of this castle and information the Grand Order of Evil." Bridget pleaded.
"Yes, any information will help." Tomoe nodded in agreement with Bridget. The Librarian was concerned about their request for help.
"But… I would be betraying the Master…"
Alucard got out a bag of gold and throws it onto the table. "You won't go unrewarded, my friend. We need info on how to reach the other levels of this castle and information regarding the members of the Grand Order of Evil."
"Hmm… I'll help you. Besides, I would disappoint your mother if I refused to help you." The Librarian agreed.
"Alucard… what happened to your mother?" Bridget looked at the half-vampire with concern on her features.
"…I'll tell you about it later. Librarian, how many members of the Grand Order of Evil are there?" Alucard told Bridget that before asking his question to the Librarian.
"The Grand Order of Evil is consisted of 7 members from other worlds with evil in their hearts who now serve the Master of this castle. The Knights of Evil are servants who are also from other worlds who serve the members of the Order in their worlds. They are: Naraku the Wicked, Bakura the Thief King, Orichimaru the Snake, the Ataksuki, Minos the Master of Synapse, Werbellia the Swamp Witch and the Toguro Brothers. Each member possessed great strengths and darkness in their hearts. Worse yet, they have brainwashed a few warriors of the light of other worlds to do their evil bidding." The Librarian explained.
"So Naraku is here in this world! I knew it!" Inuyasha pounded his fist in his palm with a snarl.
"Excuse me, Libraian?" Tsubasa spoke up. "Do you know where we can find one of the brainwashed heroes named Laura? She is being controlled by the Order and we need to help her."
"I believe you'll find her in the Entrance Hallway of the castle. I believe she is waiting for you to fight her." The Librarian stated.
"Arigato, Librarian-san." Maron bowed lightly.
"Also, I believe Alucard can gain a new power in the area you entered my library from. And can I ask you a favor?" The Librarian requested.
"Sure, what is it?" Alice accepted.
"Can you take care of 6 girl for me? They appeared in my library in my world and I had to hide them from the Master's monsters and Order. But first, you girls must be exhausted. My library hosts a hot spring, so enjoy yourselves." The Librarian smiled gently.
"Sugoi! Thank you so much!" Maron's eyes sparkled with delight upon hearing that.
"We could use a bath every now and then to get ourselves ready for whatever comes at us." Mai agreed. The Librarian told the girls of Alucard's group where the hot spring is and after the females left, Alucard and the males were led to where the six girls are hiding from the Master's forces.
After they got to a door, the Librarian turned to the males and said "Please wait here while me and Master Alucard go fetch the ladies." The men nodded in understanding and Alucard and the Librarian entered the room.
They saw six girls, one of them a woman with the typical doctor outfit, and one purple haired girl who wore a t-shirt with words on it underneath her school uniform. All eyes turned to Alucard and the Librarian.
"Midori Chitose, Chigusa, Futaba and Wakaba Kutsuki, Reika Morimura and Sanae. This is Alucard, my master and the one who will be aiding you in returning to your world." The six girls looked at Alucard with eyes.
"He seems… scary…" Midori shivered.
"He looks like a nice person, but… Midori is right, he is scary." Sanae looked away timidly.
"There's something about him that I don't like…" Futaba glared at Alucard who gave her a cold glare.
Wakaka held her plant near her head and whispered "Mister Alucard sure looks scary, eh Togurma-san?" The cactus plant known as Togurma-san vibrated in response.
"Now, now. Alucard may look scary and menacingly, but he has a big heart." The Librarian reassured them.
"We'll take your word for it, mister Librarian." Chigusa smiled softly.
"Now, there are others who are like you in the hot spring, the female members of Master Alucard's group, so why don't you join them in the hot spring?" The Librarian suggested.
"Yatta! A hot spring! Come on, Sanae-chan! Wakaba-chan!" Midori squealed as she grabbed their hands and dragged them towards the hot spring, Futaba sighed and followed them silently with Chigusa in tow. Only Reika was left as she and Alucard stared at each other.
"It's been a long time, Alucard…" Reika greeted with a smile.
"Indeed it has, Reika, messenger of God." Alucard greeted back. "So… I take it in your world, this the recarnation of the first Midori has traveled back in time to meet with her lover, Yuusuke Takashi?"
"Yes… and I'm doing my best to prevent her from restoring Yuusuke's memories so the tragic event in my world centuries ago won't happen again." Reika nodded.
"Reika… Would I ask you to help get Yuusuke and Midori together again and help him restored his memories?" Alucard asked out of sympathy.
Reika was silent for a moment until she responded with "I'll think about it… But, Alucard… what do you think of that girl who is brought to your era from her era, Bridget?" Reika gave out a teasing smirk.
"…I will protect her and prevent her from being sacrificed from the Master Plan." Alucard told her firmly. The Librarian chuckled.
"That's not half of the story. You're fascinated by her beauty, aren't you Master Alucard?"
"Yes, could it be… love?" Reika gave out a teasing smile.
"…Maybe…" Alucard looked away abruptly.
"Just admit it, Alucard. You're in love with her." Reika placed her hands on her hips with a scowl.
"…I just need more time to tell her my secret…" Alucard sighed.
"That you're Count Dracula's son and you don't want her and your friends to distrust you because of your bloodline with your father?" Reika asked with a soft tone and soften expression. Alucard merely nodded.
"Well, don't worry. Even if you did tell them, they'll remain by your side after you helped them out time and time again. Remember that." Reika smiled softly.
Alucard turned around and said over his shoulder "I will…"
(10 minutes later…)
Alucard, Inuyasha, Miroku and Jean were standing watch while the girls with their new friends were bathing in the hot spring. The males were on the lookout for any monsters or peepers that want to peek on the girls. Little did they know (Well, except for Alucard), that a certain trio of perverts along with a innocent guy were hiding behind the bookcase.
Yuusuke Takashi sighed in annoyance and asked the Baka Trio "Why are we peeking on the girls in this strange world? Have you ever thought about the situation we're freaking in?"
"Nonsense, Yuusuke!" Bacchi-gu told him with a perverted smile. "Since the girls from the all-girl's boarding school are here in this castle along with sexy girls who wear revealing outfits, it would be a waste to get acquainted with them!"
"Futaba-chan's naked body would be great to see!" Ichibanboshi pervetly smiled.
"And I will become Sanae-chan's big brother." Tenjin said with confidence. Yuusuke sighed tiredly as Bacchi-gu relays their plan to peek on the girls and Bacchi-gu to drink the water the girls soaked themselves in. They hid inside boxes and silently crawled towards the entrance of the hot spring.
Jean noticed the four boxes creeping towards the hot spring. "N-Nani?" Jean blinked.
"Some perverts, huh?" Inuyasha was about to use his Tetsusiga until Alucard raised his hand to halt him. "What the fuck, Alucard?! I was gonna kill them!"
"No, I have a better idea…" Alucard told him stoically as he got out his new sword and did some horizontal slashes, cutting the boxes in half and exposing the Baka Trio and Yuusuke.
"Hey!" Bacchi-gu growled as he and his two cohorts glared at Alucard who remained cold and stoic. "What the hell is your problem, man?! Preventing us from meeting the sexy women and bathing with them?!"
"The girls are bathing there, and even though me and Jean would like to peek on them, we won't let you do such a thing." Miroku frowned as he pointed his staff at the Baka Trio.
"Yeah! Yeah!" Jean nodded vigorously in agreement as he pointed his staff at the three idiotic perverts.
"So scram and leave!" Inuyasha bared his fangs at them.
Ichibanboshi scoffed and retorted with "Idle threats from normal people. Now if you excuse us, we're gonna bath with the-gack!" He didn't get to finish as Alucard grabbed him by the throat.
"I advised you leave and never return to peek on the girls…" Alucard said dangerously.
"That's it, you asshole! Tenjin, get him!" Bacchi-gu ordered.
Tenjin roared and shouted "I will protect Sanae-chan!" He charged at Alucard like a raging bull, but Alucard, still holding Ichibanboshi kicked him in the nuts which flung him across the room and was implanted into a wall, groaning in pain.
Bacchi-gu stammered in shock as his eyes turned white dotted as Alucard threw Ichbanboshi into the fat pervert and knocked them into Tenjin, the three of them were groaning in pain.
Yuusuke yelped as Alucard glared at him. "As for you…" He told him stoically.
To be continued…
