Bloody Justice

Chapter 7: Halloween special

I own nothing

It was a week after the mine operation and it was Halloween night, a night when children get candy, delinquents roam at night to harass people and cause property damage, and, what most people don't know, is the night when the lines between natural and supernatural are blurred. The Enforcers were hanging out in the cafeteria, the RED team seemed to be on edge, except for Pyro, who's expression couldn't be read and Scout, who was nowhere to be found. "Are you guys alright, you look like you think something's gonna jump out at you" Franklin asked, "we've had crazy stuff happen to us on every Halloween Franklin, so we're just keeping our guard up" Engineer explained. "Really, like what" Seras asked, "well there was that one time we had to fight some rival mercs while avoiding a ghost that came of it's grave when someone fired a gun near it" Sniper said. "And then there vas the Halloveen after that vhen ve had to avoid a pumpkin headed ghost that ran around and tried to chop our heads off vith an axe" Medic said.

"Then there was the Halloween after that, where we had to fight a giant eyeball and get to a giant skull" Soldier added. "Then there vas the Halloveen after that, we had to fight an evil vizard named Merasmus, who happened to be Soldier's former roommate" Heavy said. "Then there was the Halloween where we had to fight another team o' mercs while pushing a guys body into a pit so he would go to hell" Demoman added. "And then there was the Halloween where Merasmus built an evil carnival and duped us and bunch of other mercs into taking part in it" Engineer said, "and finally the last Halloween he threw everything we mentioned at us cause he was in debt to the Russian mob". Everyone except Alucard, Anderson, and Lucy had looks of disbelief on their faces, then Michael spoke, "ya know if it weren't for knowing two vampires and seeing those magic heroes and villains on the news, I'd think you were bullshitting us" he said.

Suddenly the doors to the cafeteria opened, revealing scout, "hey everyone, I was lookin' through all the da stuff I had shipped here and check out what I found" scout said, pointing to his head, on it was a ghostly looking hat with a jack o' lantern like face. The mercs didn't seem to care while almost everyone else were surprised, "what the hell is that" Walker asked, "it's a spooky hat, ain't it awesome" Scout said. Before anyone could answer Spy addressed Scout, "Scout, you do know what today is right" he asked, "yeah it's Halloween" Scout answered, "exactly, and you know strange things happen to us on Halloween", "yeah, but we only ran into supernatural stuff because we just happened to be sent dere, the only times dat it came to us was cause Soldier pissed off Merasmus, but he went up state so he ain't likely to show up" Scout explained. Everyone had to admit what Scout just said made a lot of sense, "ya know what, maybe Scout's right, maybe we're just bein' paranoid" Engineer said, "exactly, so let's just enjoy out time off while it lasts" Scout said taking a seat, "besides we're in the middle of da desert, no way is something gonna come all the way out here".

Meanwhile on the other side of the U.S in a forest outside the town of Salem there is a red glow emanating from under a mound of earth, suddenly the ground burst open. A young looking woman in a supine position floated up, she is dressed in puritan clothing and a white bonnet, she has black hair, brown eyes, and pale skin. She then stood up and started stretching while still floating, "mmm, that was a nice sleep" she said. She lowered to the ground and a wispy circle of mist form in her hand, "now what year is it" she said, the current year came up and her eyes widened, "2015, I was supposed to wake up in 1885, dammit I must have miscalculated the potion ingredients" she said. She sighed "whatever, anyone who's heard of me no doubt thinks I'm dead so the plan still worked" she said.

"Well I guess I'll just get to work and-" she paused when she reached up to her neck and felt nothing, "where's my necklace, WHERE'S MY DAMN NECKLACE" she yelled. She patted all over herself and looked in the hole and round it but couldn't find it, she took a few deep breaths "okay Abigail, calm down, it's been a hundred years so it's no longer sealed which means you can find it, even if it's across the planet" she reassured herself. She held her hand up and a wispy globe formed in it, a small red dot formed on it. "Okay it's across the country, not great but not bad, even with only 90% of my original power I can get there quick enough" she said. She floated up into the air and launched in the direction she was going.

An hour later she had arrived at her destination, a building in the Mojave desert. She used her magic to scan the building and detected eighteen people and two robots inside, four of whom could overwhelm her at her current power level. "Okay looks like I'll have to use the stealthy approach" she muttered to herself. She used her magic to scan the base, the results were not what she was hoping for, the security was airtight, any way she could enter would result in an alarm going off and alerting all inside. "Looks like I'm going to need a diversion" she said, she channeled her magic and three golems rose from the ground, they were each three and a half feet tall and made of rock, they looked like multiple rocks stuck together giving them a basic human form.

She growled, "if that bastard John hadn't sealed my magic in the damn thing I would have created better golems, hell I wouldn't even need to do any of this". she then ordered her golems to break down the front door. They did so, setting off an alarm. "Warning, front door has been breached, multiple intruders have entered the building" an automated warning system blared, Scout happened to be leaning back on his chair when the alarm went off, startling him and causing him to fall backwards. "Seriously, it's 9 fucking pm, it's too late for this shit" Michael complained, "oh my god, Michael, when did you become such a fucking drama queen" Trevor mocked him, "fuck you Trevor, unlike you, I don't have a week's worth of speed in my system" Michael countered. "NO, you two are NOT going to start" Seras said in a no nonsense tone, whenever the two argued they would snap at each other for a while before getting over it, not only would it make any situation more difficult, it was very annoying, they both grumbled but dropped it, "alright since that annoyance has been averted, let's show these pricks what happens to trespassers" Demoman said.

Luckily everyone's weapons were stored in a room next to the cafeteria, once they got them they ran to the lobby and saw three rock creatures trashing it. "Well so much for nothing supernatural happening to us this year" Spy said, one of the golems noticed them and ripped out a chunk of the wall and threw it at them, "INCOMING" Soldier yelled. They dodged it and started attacking the golems, what they didn't know was that Abigail was in the building and was following the magic signature of her magic. Five minutes later all the golems were destroyed, "well dat was fun while it lasted, what do ya think dey wanted" Scout asked, " warning, breach in lower levels" the warning system announced. While the Enforcers were dealing with the golems Abigail had found her necklace, it was behind a door, which she blasted open.

She put it on and felt magic power flow into her, "finally, now I can get to work, she held up her hand an some mist formed over in, words formed on the mist like a checklist. "Alright, what should I do first, summon demons, I'll do that later, burn down Salem, that'll be the second thing I do". Before she could read the next thing a bullet hit the wall next to her, she turned and saw Scout, "ya know I was so sure nothing crazy was gonna happen to us dis Halloween, then you show up and start trashing our base, so I'm pretty miffed right now" he said. She could hear others approaching, "well I know the first thing I'm going to do now that I'm at full power: kill this little runt" she said. "Oh yeah, you and what army" Scout said, Abigail smirked and snapped her fingers, a group of skeletons with glowing red eyes rose from the ground out of red shoulder width portals, they were armed with swords and muskets, Scout had a blank look on his face before he dashed away screaming.

The other enforcers were about to turn the corner when Scout bumped into Engineer, "woah there Scout, what's goin' on" he asked while helping Scout stand up. "MAGIC, dere's a girl with magic and she conjured a bunch skeletons" he said. Just as he finished a dozen skeletons appeared from around the corner, six wielding swords and the other six wielding muskets, behind them was Abigail. "Who the hell are you" Franklin demanded, "I believe you've heard of me, I am Abigail Williams, the witch of Salem" she said, "you mean you're that psycho bitch that got a bunch of people killed by saying they were witches" Ajay said. Abigail sucked her teeth, "okay two things, first: that's true but I'd prefer you not word it like that, two: I'm going to make you suffer horribly for that" she said.

Heavy fired his minigun, destroying her skeletons, however Abigail formed a shield protecting herself. Heavy laughed, "how can you make anyone suffer if you use such veak baby skeletons" he taunted, "mm, quite" she responded. She focus more magic in her hand and snapped her finger, twice as many skeletons appeared but these ones were made of metal, "how's this". "We should move everyone, it's pretty cramped down here, especially since there's so many of us" Walker said. Everyone knew this was the best course of action so they retreated upstairs, Abigail allowed them to since she thought it wouldn't matter because her victory was assured.

Everyone had moved to the cafeteria since it was one of the biggest rooms in the building and could be easily defended. "Okay guys, how we gonna do this" Franklin asked, "well considering how she summoned zhe skeletons and most likely zhe rock creatures, she will probably summon waves of creatures to attack us, so we will need to dig in and defend" Spy said. Suddenly everyone heard a ringing sound, Walker pulled out a communication device from his pocket and answered, "hello… hang on I'll put you on speakerphone" he said. He pressed a button and Gomez's voice was heard, "what's going, I got an alert that the alarm was tripped, is the base under attack or is it just a malfunction like last time" he asked. "We're being attacked by a witch Gomez, she sent in some golems to distract us while she snuck into the lower levels and got something she needed" Seras explained.

"Shit, she must have come for the necklace", "necklace" Lucy asked, "yeah, twenty years ago some kids found a necklace by Salem, supposedly they found it with a buried dead woman that showed no signs of decomposition, our magic experts detected A-class amounts of magical energy in it" he said. "The kids couldn't remember the exact location of where they found it, they just said it was by Salem, we scanned the area but couldn't find anything, we figured that magic was her life force trapped inside the necklace so we kept it in the lower levels". "Well she's got it now and she's summoned a bunch of skeletons, we figured she's gonna go with the classic military strategy and send waves of cannon fodder at us" Michael said. "Alright, well I guess this constitutes as a mission, your objective is to eliminate the witch, I'll see if I can get some help sent your way". "Roger that Gomez" Jason said, Walker hung up, "alright everyone, they'll be coming any second now, get ready" Jason said.

Everyone prepared their weapons, Demoman decided to stick to his eyelander since he figured Gomez wouldn't appreciate more damage done to the base. After a minute the skeletons kicked open the doors on both sides of the cafeteria, the enforcers went on the offensive. While the Enforcers were talking to Gomez, Abigail was preparing her forces, she set up three spawn points for her skeletons, they had a maximum spawn of fifty, a skeleton had to be destroyed before another could be created, one in the lobby, one on the roof, and one in the basement in a large, mostly empty storage room she had set up in. Back in the cafeteria the Enforcers were easily holding their own against the skeletons, while Abigail's forces had the numbers advantage the Enforcers had the advantage in skill and equipment, the skeletons were little more than grunts and their best weapons, which were muskets, were slow and inaccurate, they were only slightly harder to kill since they were made of metal. Engineer had set up a pair of level two sentries, each one covered half the room and between them a dispenser.

After five minutes the skeletons did not let up but neither did the Enforcers, Abigail, who was watching the battle with her magic, sighed, "okay, this is going nowhere, clearly numbers aren't enough, I'll have to use better troops" she said. She added some magic to her spawn points, three rock golems like the ones she used earlier came out of each one, they were twice the size as the last ones, however only three golems could be spawned from the spawn points. Back at the cafeteria the Enforcers were still holding out, "I fail to see why you insist on resisting, your trapped and eventually my horde will overwhelm you" Abigail said, using her magic to broadcast her voice. "You've got it backwards witch, we are not trapped in her with you, you are trapped in here with us" Soldier said. "Yeah, so you better get ready for when we get our hands on you, cause we're gonna have Pyro burn you at da stake" Scout added.

At that moment the golems entered the cafeteria, "ah crap" Scout muttered. The golems were harder to kill than the skeletons but they were slower, making them easy to avoid, another weakness they had was that if they were hit in their joints the limb would fall off, crippling them. After ten minutes the stalemate was still going, "okay, now this is getting tedious" Abigail said "let's try adding some enemies in the air". She added some more magic to the spawners and out came ten flying, flaming jack o lanterns. The jack o lanterns flew into the cafeteria, "you gotta be shitting me" Jason shouted, dodging a small ball of fire the new enemy launched at him.

Yet another ten minutes passed and the stalemate was still going, "this is going nowhere, we have to find where these freaks and put a stop to it" Walker said. "Walker's right, we gotta push through these assholes" Franklin said. Suddenly Walker's communicator started beeping again, Walker switched to a pistol so he could hold the communicator. "Gomez, how's that help coming" he asked, he listened for a minute then hung up, "guys we need to get to the lobby". everyone heard this and started to forced their way through the enemy forces.

Soon they arrived to the lobby, they saw a red portal on the floor, some jack o lanterns and skeletons were firing at something outside the door. "We gotta get rid of that portal" Michael said, "how, for all we know the only way to stop is to kill the witch or-" Ajay was saying but was cut off when Pyro shot the spawner, after three shots it disappeared, "… or we just have to shoot it". After clearing out the lobby and closing the doors the Enforcers looked outside and saw two chinook choppers and three dozen soldiers. The leader of the group approached the Enforcers, "you the back up Gomez sent" Jason asked, "yep, by the way as we were preparing to the land we saw some kinda portal on the roof, those monsters were coming out of it" he said. "Yeah there was one in the lobby too, but if you shoot them it'll destroy them" Trevor explained.

Suddenly ten jack o lanterns flew down from the roof, they spread out and launched towards them like rockets. "INCOMING" Soldier yelled, everyone spread out avoid the flaming pumpkins. Two hit a chinook, crippling it, two more hit the ground, wounding two soldiers, four hit Alucard but it barely phased him, the last two hit the ground but didn't do any damage. Once it was over some soldiers checked on their wounded, it wasn't serious but they wouldn't be able to fight, the pilots came out of the crippled chinook unharmed. Some bullets hit the other chinook, skeletons were aiming down at them, "we gotta get out of the open" the leading soldier said.

Everyone, including the pilots of both chinooks, had gotten inside. "Okay, the jack o lanterns can turn into projectiles, so that's a thing" Ajay muttered. "Guys we can't fight our way to da roof, dat'll take all night" Scout said, "yeah, plus I think I speak for all of us when I say I'm ready for this to be over" Jason said. "Okay so we're gonna need a plan" Michael said, he turned to the group but noticed someone was missing, "where's Alucard". "Uh he left a few minutes, he said he was going for a walk" Seras said. The doors to the lobby were broken down and Abigail's minions started to enter.

Meanwhile Abigail was trying to locate said vampire, suddenly bullets went through the door and hit the portal, destroying it, more bullets flew in, destroying the minions with Abigail, who formed a shield protecting herself. Alucard kicked the door down, "I've grown tired of this, witch, as have my comrades". Abigail sneered, "'comrades', you're a vampire, a creature that roams the night and feed on the living, your kinds existence is one of solitude" she said. Alucard chuckled, "true, but I have dedicated my existence to my master's family, and while some of my team members are scum or annoying, a few of them have earned my respect". "Whatever, it doesn't matter, vampire or not I will destroy you, along with your teammates, this base, Salem, and anyone else I choose, in fact I'll out who your master is and destroy them too" Abigal said.

Alucard smirked, "unlikely" he said, "what, why" she asked, "because I'm going to kill you here" he said, pulling out his guns. He fired at but she formed a shield, protecting herself. She then fired dozens of small energy bullets at him, ripping him apart, he reformed and fired at her again, this time she avoided and launched a disk of black energy, bisecting him. Alucard reformed again, his grin still on his face, "I'm getting tired of that smile" Abigail growled, she launch a pair of dark energy ball that exploded on contact with Alucard, but he just reformed again. "Would you just die" she shouted, Alucard chuckled which turned into full blown laughter, "someone as pathetic as you could never kill me, but you have amused me witch so I'll give you a reward, I'll show you just how far out of my league you are". "Release restraint to level 3,2,1, restrictions lifted until the enemy is permanently silenced" he said.

Suddenly his body became dark and red eyes appeared all over his body, Abigail watch in disbelief as Alucard changed into living darkness. A mass formed on Alucard's shoulder and a nightmarish dog head grew from it, it snapped and snarled in her direction. "W-what …is, WHAT ARE YOU" she screamed, Alucard laughed, "I'm the vampire that's going to turn you into dog food" he said. The dog head shot forward, Abigail put up her strongest shield but to her disbelief and horror it smashed through it. She screamed as it tore into here, her screams turned to gurgles before she fell completely silent, the dog returned to Alucard, leaving only her head, her bloodstained face frozen in terror.

Back in lobby the Enforcers and soldiers were fighting the horde when they stopped and crumbled to dust. "What the hell" Franklin said, "what happened". "The witch is dead" a voice said, out of a shadow appeared Alucard, holding Abigail's head in his hand. He tossed it to the ground in front of the Enforcers, just then Gomez entered the building, "sorry it took me so long, I had to drive to the helipad and it's not easy getting around with all the trick or treaters" he said. The leading soldier saluted him, "don't worry sir, the threat has been dealt with" he said, Gomez returned the salute, "good to hear, any casualties" he asked. "Aside from a crippled chinook and a few minor injuries everything is good sir" the lead soldier explained.

"Good to hear" Gomez said, while he talked to the reinforcements leader the Enforcers gathered around Alucard, "wow, that must have been one hell of a walk" Jason said, Alucard chuckled, "not just a walk Mr. Brody, a very enthusiastic walk" he said.

AN: and done, hope you enjoyed the Halloween special everyone, apologies if the chapter seemed dull in any way, also since time management is not my strong suit by the time you read this it won't be Halloween, but I published it before midnight technically it counts, hope you and enjoy, read and review.

p.s: due to recent news involving a steven universe fan who goes by Zamii070 I think it's time everyone got together and told social justice warriors to shove it, leave a review if you agree.
