Burrowing deep inside his mind, Zorin found what she was looking for, as the world around the vampire began to change before his eyes, he found himself stood on the battle field in Transylvania, the corpses of his victims on huge, long spikes, either though their torso, or through their anus, the dirt was stained with pools of blood, looking at his reflection he jumped back, long, wavy hair, armour, goatee, Dracula, but when he peered down at his red trench coat, he was normal, Zorin was in front of him, but she was well hidden, deep within his memory, all he could see was Van Hellsing distant, on horse back, racing towards him, Alucard would snarl firing shots off in all directions,

"No mind games! Show your self!" Zorin would only chuckle, as her fist near snapped his jaw out of place, Alucard did a spin in her air, skidding in the 'dirt' and the 'blood' Zorin would flick her wrist, letting the bones snap and crack back in place, watching Alucard stand up again "Mind gamez iz vhat I do Alucard...You're ze monster under the bed, hidden in the shadows...I'm Freddy Kruger, I attack in your vorst nightmarez..." With that Alucard would feel the pain of Van Hellsing's silver blade, as Zorin pounded her fist into his stomach, her fist curled under his rips as the force dragged him upwards by a few inches, falling onto his back, he would cough, blood dripping down his chin, snarling each blow, to him was given by Van Hellsing, in reality Zorin's knuckles where bleeding, breaking his jaws and ribs with each blow. Backing off her hands where shaking, blood dripping through her fingers, Alucard clutched his rip cage, at least three where cracked, another two broken, his jaw out to the side by a few inches. Cracking his jaw back in place, he would reach for his weapon, aiming it for Van Hellsing, "I know where you hide Zorin...you cant win once I see through your tricks!" The shot that fired, passed through the image of Van Hellsing, and cut right through Zorin's fist as she went for him again. Holding back a scream she would jump back, the images, like fire, burned away from around him, Alucard would laugh, pointing the Jackal right between her eyes,

"You forget who you are dealing with..." Zorin would walk over to Seras, pulling out her scythe she would look back to him with a glare,

"You might scare everyone else...but vhen you've been inside your one nightmarez...You forget vhat fear iz..."

Rip would have been huddled in the shadows, just watching the fight, she was starting to rethink her reaction to Zorin's little flings, seeing her fight tooth and nail agasint Alucard, she was starting to realise how strong her friends feelings towards her, where. She was willing to die for her. Zorin would stumble backwards, holding the right side of her abdomen, just over the bottom of her ribcage, coughing, a looser grip for a moment on her scythe, she looked up at him, her shoulders pressed forwards, glaring, Alucard would laugh, his wounds now beginning to heal over, absorbing the spilt blood on the tarmac, Zorin's eyes grew wider, "A luxury you Freaks don't have! I can do this all night Blitz!" Alucard would reload his weapon, firing off another full clip at her, but the bullets just bounced off of the rotating blade, swiping the air as she pulled the weapon down to her side, she would run forwards, slicing the blade deep inside of his gut, lifting the laughing maniac above her head before slamming him back down onto the curb, a boot stomping onto his spine with a shuddering snap, stomping each and every time he twitched, onto his spine, the back of his neck, and skull, blood seeping from his ears, mouth and nose. Zorin's chest heaved up and down, Seras, curled in a dark corner, holding her gaping wound, her eyes fearful as the powerful female pointed at her, the scythe's blade a warning, "Go back to that voman you take you little orderz off, before I decide to cut your fucking head off!" Hearing her voice growl, the young vampire clutched the Harkonnen, stumbled to her feet and ran. Turning back to where she had left Alucard, Zorin would growl, his body, it had moved, not even the blood remained, Rip began to quiver once more, her voice a weak whimper, Zorin looking to her with a raised brow, as Rip pointed just over the other's shoulder, Zorin's heart would sink, feeling his cold, still breath on the skin of her neck, shadows wrapping around her feet, crawling up her body, she would snarl pulling away with some force, as she turned a thousand eyes looked back at her, all with the same, insane intent glimmering in them, Alucard's gruesome smile cracked out from the shadows as a long tendril shot out from his body, tightly wrapping around Zorin's through, lifting her up from her ground, scythe being dropped as her hands tried to pull the tendril away, his arm formed from the side of the mass, his finger's forming almost like a blade, heard to rip her heart out with a clean punch, "You surprised me Zorin, its a shame you'll become nothing more than my puppet...You're a formidable foe indeed for a Freak!" Zorin would cough, the chocking grip around her throat was hard to push off, Alucard would laugh with a clear victory, "After I'm done with you...I'm going to make you watch Rip suffer...I might even make sure she suffers at your hand!" With his words echoing through her head, she would put all her failing strength into ripping the tendril from his body, but it was near enough impossible.

Zorin closed her eyes, she felt as if this was truly the end for her, as he launched his arm forwards, but he yelled, dropping her to the ground and backing off, his forearm severed and twitching on the floor, hand opening then clenching tightly as the convulsions in the limb stopped, skulking back he would look to the wound and then look up to the smoking barrel of Rip's rifle, she was standing, her eyes crimson, glazed over with blood thirst and rage, her face fixed in a serious, warrior expression. Zorin would struggle to stand up, still trying to catch her breath, but Rip would stand besides her, "Back off Alucard..." She would growl, Alucard only chuckled, the first spots of ran beginning to fall from the blackened sky,

"As the Huntress has finally grown a spine...Ready to face me then Kaspar?" Rip would stay silent, she wasn't a hand to hand fighter like Zorin, a probably wouldn't last against Alucard in a fist fight, but she outmatched him in marksmanship and with her added rage and magic bullet advantage, all she had to do was knock him out again, however, this wasn't an easy task with his restriction's now lifted, "Wel..." a bullet sliced through the skin between his lips, and smashed through the jaw bone join, making half his mouth hang from his face, the bullet bounced in the air, making a sharp turn to slam back through the other side of his jaw, now ripping it from his skull, only the skin of his neck holding it to his face his tongue dangling, the leather straps that now formed his outfit splattered with blood, Rip would catch the same pellet and roll it calmly down the barrel,

"I've marked this one vith your blood monster...you can either run now or I'll keep ripping your body apart till zere is nothing left for you to regenerate!" bravado, deep down the vampire was terrified, she lived with the fear of knowing he would return for her soul as repayment, she could feel the grim reaper's, soulless hollows watching and waiting for her to slip up, as it could cast its scythe and send her into the fires of Hell. Alucard would snarl, rushing forwards, the sounds from his throat, like a banshees cry, but the round was fired, once more the blue light pushed through the rain, darted around, and then sliced through his rib cadge, Rip would smirk, as Alucard stopped in his tracks, his fist only inches away from her face, he would feel the bullet hovering near his heart, waiting for its master's call. Laughing as he coughed stammering backwards, Rip had the darkest look in her eye, he had never seen her look so, insane before, the laugh turned into a chuckle,"You have a chance to back off Alucard...before that bullet tearz apart your lungs, reduces your ribs to zplinters, and destroys your black heart!" tearing what was left off his bottom jaw off, the monster wouldn't listen to Rip's fair warning, lunging for her once more. It was at that moment, with a crash of lightning and roar of thunder, the bullet smashed through his chest, pulling out some of his heart, the round falling into Rip's hand as Alucard collapsed to his knees, blood spurting from the huge hold in his torso, his remaining ribs had been shot outwards, leaving a clear view of what was left internally. Rip would keep the victorious round in her pocket, as he slumped, in the pool that formed.

Rip would throw Zorin's arm around her shoulders, helping her up, her rifle now being used as a walking stick, along with Zorin's scythe, the pair would look to the 'corpse' and took their chance to flee while Alucard was still trying to put himself back together. Zorin was exhausted, after a while of limping, she would pull herself away from Rip, and slump agasint an ally wall, her eyes closed, welcoming the rain on her skin, Rip would use a bin lid for cover, her eyes only now just fading back to blue, a sigh, as Zorin opened her eyes again,

"Vhat vas zat about Rip?"

"Vhat?"

"Alucard...zat, zat vas amazing...I thought you hated me?" Throwing the bin lid into a bunch of stacked boxes, she would kneel in between Zorin's legs, her hands lightly brushing over her chest, Rip looking into Zorin's eyes with a nibble of her bottom lip, "I did..." Zorin's heart raced, as the pair embraced, feeling her lovers forceful, passionate kiss, her tongue forcing her own, against fangs, for a taste of blood, pulling away Rip would smile, her fingers lightly pressing agasint the bite marks on Zorin's neck, "Vhat you did Zorin...I don't think I can ever forgive you for, but.." Zorin's chest heaved as she leaned her head back agasint the wall,

"But?"

"But the vay you...you risked you life for me...made me realise just how much I love you..."
