(A/N: As you can tell by the chapter title, the rogues come out in the open to face Alucard and Seras. Hope you enjoy the chapter, and the new villains I'm introducing.)

Chapter 6: The Enemy Reveals Itself

One by one, the lights came on until they illuminated the face of a boy no older than twelve. He sat in a chair with an evil grin on his face and a wicked intent in his red eyes.

"The time is almost here." he said. "Soon Alucard and his little pet will be in our power."

The three people he spoke to stood a short distance away. Two of them looked excited while the third looked irritable. He stepped forward, having no reason to hold back his opinion.

"I want them to suffer." He seethed. "Suffer till their last breath."

The boy chuckled. "My dear Sinclair, I know you're angered over your sister's death, but we must not let our anger affect our judgment. I've waited a long time to have Alucard, I will not give him to you merely because you hold a grudge." His grin widened. "However, you may have the Police Girl. Do with her what you will. As my head scientist, I'm sure you can find several things to experiment with on her."

Sinclair scowled. "I will look forward to playing with the bitch, but how can we be sure that Alucard will fall? What makes you think that he can beat him?"

The boy laughed. "You are missing the point. It doesn't matter which of them wins. It will be the battle of the centaury. Besides, I made a deal, and I keep my promises. It will be a battle unlike any other. But should Alucard get past him, he will still have to face our trump card. Surely you have faith in him. He is, after all, you greatest creation."

Sinclair growled, but said nothing. The other two watched the scientist with interest, wondering what he would do. But nothing happened. Sinclair merely left the room.

The smaller of the two chuckled. "You amuse us so." He said, speaking in a voice that sounded like many people talking at once. "We too look forward to what is to come."

"But of course you do." The boy said with a snicker. "We have indeed waited a long time. Now it finally comes down to it. So, if you'll please go and fetch our guests, we can finally begin. And remember, no fighting. I want them in top strength for when they arrive."

The large of the two nodded. "It will be done."

The smaller one nodded as well. "We will try to restrain ourselves from acting rashly."

As the two left the room, another figure moved in the darkness. It approached the boy, moving like an otherworldly predator. Whatever this creature was, it certainly wasn't human.

The boy looked at the figure and smirked. "You'll finally be able to take your revenge. That is, if you are strong enough to win."

The sound of flesh stretching and bones shifting came room the darkness. A man stepped out of the shadows, looking very excited. "I will win. I have waited a long time for this. I shall have my vengeance. And then this world will fall before us."

The boy just laughed. "I'm not too sure you're up to the challenge. He may beat you."

The man glared at the boy. "You doubt me, but you believe that thing you have hiding in the back can beat him."

"We all have our opinions." The boy stated. "But however it turns out, I will truly enjoy the show."

(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)

The full moon shined brightly in the sky as the two vampires stood among the statues of angels that had been carved into the roof of the church. Aucard's eyes scanned the area while Seras sat by one of the statues, tracing the outline of feathers on an angel with her finger.

"Master, who do you think these people are? Why are they after us?"

Alucard grinned. "Do they need a reason?"

Seras didn't have an answer to that. He had made his point. Evil beings didn't need a reason to do evil things. "But who are they?"

"I imagine we will find out tonight. What we do know is that they were formerly associated with Millennium, and that they're doing their own experiments with vampires."

Seras sighed. "A living ghoul and a vampire regenerator. What are we going to run into next?"

"Let's find out."

And to Seras' surprise, he jumped off the roof. Seras looked down and saw Alucard enter the church. She looked around, but saw no one else. Had they managed to slip by them undetected?

'Slipped by me, not by Master.'

She too jumped off the roof and entered the church. She saw Alucard walking down the aisle. Two people were at the end. The larger of the two was leaning against the wall while the smaller one was on his knees praying. That was when Seras noticed what he was praying to. The large cross that stood before them had been torn down and turned upside down.

Seras' eyes twitched in irritation. "Just what do you think you're doing?" she demanded.

The man leaning against the wall looked at her and put his fingers to his lips. "Shh, he's praying."

The smaller person, the one kneeling, smirked and said, "Bless us Father, for we have sinned."

Seras gulped. She had a feeling that he wasn't praying to God. She shook her head and got a grip on herself. "Well, we're here! Now tell us where Sir Integra is!"

The one praying frowned. "Your too loud. Show some respect. We will get to you soon enough."

Alucard smirked. "Patience, Police Girl. You'll get your chance you tear them apart."

Seras winced. "No, that's not what I meant! I'm not impatient because of that!"

"Be silent!" the one praying snapped. He stood up and turned to the two vampires. "We will not tolerate this. We will enjoy teaching you a lesson."

He slowly approached Alucard and Seras, the larger man following close behind. Seras stared at them and got an unusual sensation. The smaller one, the one that had been praying, was rather young, perhaps even younger than she was. His body seemed to radiate evil energy that made the hair on the back of Seras' neck stand on end. Was he a vampire, or something else? She wasn't sure.

The larger man was different. She didn't know what he was, but he was definitely no human or vampire. He too seemed to radiate a type of energy, but not like his companion. This seemed to be a type of sexual energy that made Seras have very dirty thoughts.

"It is an honor to meet you, Alucard." He said. "The king of vampires in our presence. Never thought this day would come." His gaze shifted over to Seras and she felt herself blush. "And little Seras. How I would love to get my hands on you."

His eyes started glowing and Seras felt her mind going foggy. He also seemed to emit an aura that made her very eager to accept the invitation.

"Don't let him affect you, Police Girl." Alucard told her, breaking the spell. "You're a vampire, you're stronger than the likes of him."

The smaller man snickered. "We don't think he likes you, Diabolique."

The larger man, Diabolique, looked irritated. "Well, let see if the big bad vampire can resist my charms."

Then, to Seras' surprise, he turned into a woman; a woman as beautiful as he had been handsome. Seras jumped back, hiding behind Alucard, as she gave the 'gender bender' a disgusted look. "W-What is he?"

Alucard smirked. "A succubus at the moment. An incubus in male form."

Sras sighed. 'That explains the lust for him I felt.'

"So what do you think?" Diabolique asked, showing off her body. "See anything you like?"

As Seras wondered if all of the girls in this organization were sluts, Alucard just frowned. "Don't even think your mind games can work on me. Honestly, I find it insulting that you think you can affect me in such a way. Seras!"

She jumped. "Y-Yes, Master."

"Ignore any lustful feeling or thoughts you have for this one. And any thoughts that don't seem logical are not your own."

Diabolique pouted. "Spoil my fun, why don't you."

Alucard smirked. "Did you really believe that you could capture us with the hypnotic powers of your kind."

Diabolique shrugged and shifted to male form again. "It was worth a try."

The other man stepped forward. "We didn't expect it to you to work on you, Alucard, but we had hoped to get your Police Girl."

Seras growled at him. "And just what are you supposed to be?"

He smiled. "We are Iniquitous . We are here to bring you to our master."

Seras cut her eyes at him. "I asked what you are, not who."

Alucard answered for him. "He's a dhampir."

Seras tapped her chin. "Dhampir, I know I've heard that word before."

"He's the offspring of a human an a vampire. All the powers of a vampire, but half its strength."

"And complete resistance to vampires' weakness." Iniquitous added. "We may not have the full strength of a vampire, but we are powerful. And we have something that other dhampirs don't have."

Seras gave him a confused look. "Why are you referring to yourself as 'we'?"

Iniquitous grinned. To answer her question he showed her what he meant. His eyes began glowing with black light as a red aura surrounded his body. Markings appeared all over his skin in some language Seras had never seen before, and she suddenly detected the presence of several beings.

"Well?" asked Iniquitous. "Do you understand us now?"

Seras blinked. "Uh…"

It was Diabolique who answered. "Iniquitous here is possessed by demonic spirits."

Alucard raised an eyebrow, looking at the dhampir with interest. "You don't say. Now that is something to look into. I'll enjoy killing you and everyone inside you."

Iniquitous grinned as the aura surrounding him began to take the shape of vicious looking creatures. "We will not be the one to die here tonight, vampire king. Feel our power!"

One of the creatures merged with his aura flew at Alucard. It didn't exactly have a physical form, but rather seemed to be made of the bright red aura, that took enough of a shape to imitate arms, and bright yellow eyes; its ghostly tail remained connected to Iniquitous.

The creature lashed out at Alucard. Even though it had no physical form, it still managed to slice Aucard open, showering blood everywhere.

"Master!" Seras cried in alarm.

The demon continued its vicious assault on the vampire king. Its speed was unbelievable, leaving only a blur of movement as Alucard's blood rained down around it.

"Stop it!" Seras shouted.

The demon stopped and turned to Seras. It had no mouth, but it's eyes shined with excitement as it hissed at her. She unconsciously took a step back as the demon flew at her.

Alucard moved quickly and stood protectively in front of his fledging. "We're not done yet." He growled, raising his guns.

Iniquitous grinned. "Your bullets can't hurt us."

Ignoring the demons' host, Alucard fired several shots, but the bullets passed right through the demon. Regardless of that, the demon still flinched as if in pain.

Iniquitous growled angrily. "Damn holy rounds!"

The demon went on the attack again, dodging the holy rounds Alucard fired at it. More blood pooled around the vampire king's feet as he was viciously sliced open.

"My turn now." He said, his tone indicating his excitement.

He lunged forward, and, to everyone's surprise, caught the demonic spirit in his jaws. A soul-shattering screech came from the demon as it struggled to get free.

"Release us!" Iniquitous seethed.

Alucard just smirked. "Do all of you feel the pain of your brother here?"

He bit down and the demon shattered like glass in his jaws. Iniquitous let out a cry of rage as more of the demonic spirits possessing him surfaced, ready to go on the attack.

"Enough!" Diabolique bellowed. He turned to Iniquitous and gave him a disapproving look. "They are for our master, or have you forgotten that?"

Iniquitous hissed. "Our memory is fine. We do not forget. He can have Alucard." His eyes settled on Seras. "But we want the Police Girl."

"The master has plans for her as well. But I'm sure you can have her when he's done." Iniquitous said something that sounded like a made up language as he returned to his normal state. Diabolique smiled and turned back to the two vampires. "You must forgive Iniquitous' temper. It's more than one person you're angering when you deal with him."

With the fighting over for now, Alucard returned to his normal calm self. "Your games are beginning to bore me. We were kept waiting for over a month, and we arrived when you told us to. So then kindly tell us where we must go."

Diabolique laughed. "You're already here." He walked over to the alter and lifted it up, revealing a hidden staircase beneath it. He turned back to the two vampires and grinned evilly. "Your master, and ours, awaits you."

Alucard calmly walked forward. "It's about time. Poor Integra must be bored out of her mind."

Diabolique chuckled knowingly. "Oh you'll see." He said, and went down the stairs. Alucard followed, and Seras went after him.

"Don't touch me." she warned Iniquitous, who was following her.

The possessed dhampir smirked. "You're not for us. Someone else is dying to get their hands on you. But we will have you later."

'Oh great. Now I feel a lot better."

As they traveled through the hidden base, Seras was partly surprised to see several humans. She should have expected this. The so-called master probably promised them eternal life in exchange for their services.

They came to a stop and Diabolique turned to the two vampires. "This is where you two shall part."

"What?" Seras cried. "You expect us to leave each other alone with you monsters."

Alucard didn't seem bothered by this. "They want to split us up. Or to be more process, get me alone."

Seras shook her head. "I can't leave you alone with them!"

Alucard gave her a curious look. "Do you think so little of my power, Police Girl?"

Realizing her mistake, Seras tried to correct it. "No, that's not what I meant."

"Then do you think I would simply abandon you?"

"No, it's just-"

"You underestimate yourself, Police Girl. Have more confidence."

Seras was about to argue further when she felt something invade her mind. Looking at Diabolique, she saw his eyes glowing. He was using his suggestive powers to get her to do what he wanted. Or was he? These seemed like her own thoughts.

"Seras!" Alucard snapped, breaking the spell. "Remember what I said about him invading your thoughts. But now I'm telling you to leave us."

Seras' mouth dropped open. "You're… you're just leaving me?"

The first sign of impatience settled in Alucard's expression. "Your self doubt is becoming a nuisance. Would I leave you if you couldn't handle yourself?"

"No-"

"Then stop wasting time. Our master is in need of our assistance."

He began walking off with Diabolique in the lead. Seras was left alone with a slight pout on her face.

"Fear not, Police Girl." Came Alucard's voice in her mind. "These fools are nothing but a mere test for you. I will stay in contact."

Seras breathed a sigh of relief. She should have known that her master wouldn't leave her if she couldn't handle the situation. She did need to have more faith in herself.

"Yes, right, Master! I will do my best!"

The sound of a gun being cocked caught her attention. She slowly turned around to find Iniquitous aiming a gun at her.

"Holy rounds, bitch." He sneered.

He fired and everything went black.

(A/N: Oh dear, what's Seras going to do now? And just what is Alucard getting himself into? They're both in the enemy's territory and now they're separated. And just who is the master and the creature that wants to fight Alucard, what is the master's trump card, what happened to Integra? More questions mean more answers, so stay tuned for more.)
