Hello, everyone! Nathan Ralls here, with the 2nd chapter of ZERO: BLOOD ROSE, basically, Lydia investigates disappearances happening at a local movie theater
KKSparks owns Lydia, Keita Amemiya owns Garo, Kouta Hirano owns Hellsing.
I own Nothing else. Enjoy.
Multiplex Cinema
It shows a man being kicked out into the rain.
"Sorry, Mack." said a man. "But the boss said that the theater's gonna be shut down..."
"B-but!" said Mack
"Face it. Nobody likes horror films anymore." said a man.
The door shut, and Mack hung his head, dejected.
"Do you wish for the things you like the most not to decline?" a deep, demonic voice asked "I will grant you that wish."
Mack screamed as a Horror possessed him.
(OP "ZERO-BLACK BLOOD-" by JAM Project)
It shows a black feather floating to the ground, and it reveals the Ginga Kishi Zero armor, and it shows the ZERO: BLOOD ROSE logo
(Hosoku katamuku tsukiyo ga tsugeru yogen, ueta toiki ga kikoeru ka?) It shows Lydia holding Silva, and donning her Makai Knight attire, which was like DMC1 Dante's attire, but white and black with a black trenchcoat.
("Tsumibukaku iki nagareru tamashii mitsuyaku wo kawasou") It shows Lydia's friends and family, along with the Hellsing Organization
(FLAME...THE FLAMES AWAY, Hito wo matotta kemono yo) It shows Ring on his throne, but in human form, before transforming into his Horror Form.
(Onore no yokubou to sachi dake wo negau kage Inga tachikitte) It shows Lydia using her Makai Swords to trace a circle above her, and become Zero, the Silver Fang Knight
(Aoku shiroku kagayaku yoroi wa, seou kako mo ken ni fuujita) It shows Zero slashing through Horrors using her Ginroken swords, before setting her dual swords on fire via sheer willpower
(~Makai Kishi wa mamorishi mono~Ai nante mou hitsuyou nai) Zero then summons her Madou Horse, Ginga, and combines her swords, thus forming the Ginga Ginroken, rushing the Horrors.
(ZERO to yobareru ore ni wa!) The Ginga Kishi Zero armor has both swords drawn, and is surrounded by falling white feathers as Lydia's reflection on one of the helmet's yellow eyes has a serious expression.
(Kurayami ni gin no kiba honoo no gotoku yobare kuru!) It shows Zero on her Madou Horse, Ginga.
Chapter 2: Filmography
It shows Lydia eating sour candies, and she was watching Predator. Lydia liked horror films.
"Hey, Lyd." said Jeff.
"Hey, Jeff." said Lydia.
"You know...if you seal 100 Horrors, you'll be able to take the trial of facing your inner shadow." said Jeff
"Whoa..." said Lydia.
"Yeah, whoa..." said Jeff.
"I sealed 98 Horrors..." said Lydia "Two more, and I'll be able to use my Uncle Rei's Madou Horse!"
"Ginga..." said Jeff
"Yeah..." said Lydia "With it, I'll defeat Ring!"
Jeff smiled at his lover.
"Also, I got a new assignment." said Lydia
Jeff was curious on what it was.
Lydia noticed that she was being sent to investigate the movie theater
Lydia took out her flashlight.
"The Horror is close, I can sense it..." said Silva.
Lydia saw Mack
"Hello," Mack began "and goodbye."
Mack then got Lydia sucked into the film.
Lydia noticed that she was in the first Scream movie.
Lydia heard the phone ring, and picked it up.
="Hello, Lydia. I've got a quiz for ya. Jason Vorhees used a machete. Freddy Kreuger used a glove with bladed claws, Leatherface used a chainsaw, which weapon did this killer use?"=
"Simple," Lydia began "It's a bowie knife."
All of a sudden, the man, dressed as Ghostface arrived
"You're a little horror film expert, eh?" said the man.
"Yep." said Lydia.
The man then rushed Lydia, only to be beaten back.
"Dude, horror films don't scare me." said Lydia.
Mack growled, but smirked.
"In this case...how about an Oscar winner?" he spoke as he then snapped his fingers.
Lydia was now in Silence Of The Lambs.
"This film..." Ilgishin began "Has great actors."
He then laughed like Hannibal Lecter.
"No better than a special effects TV show." said Silva.
"And of course," Mack began, his left hand now resembling Freddy Kreuger's glove "I am the monster in the film."
Mack fought Lydia, and his right hand was now a chainsaw.
Mack entered his true form. His body had pins on his head, red eyes, exposed ribs, spikes on the right shoulder, and a skull on his left shoulder. This was Ilgishin, he looked like how he did in Garo: Makai no Hana Ep. 3.
"Lydia, that is the Horror, Ilgishin." said Silva.
"I know." said Lydia as she drew her Makai Swords, and traced a circle with them, transforming into Zero.
Ilgishin then fought Zero, zipping around her
"The basic human emotion is fear!" Ilgishin ranted "It's horror! That's why as long as I exist, horror films cannot decline!"
Zero blocked one of Ilgishin's attacks
"IT'S BECAUSE OF PEOPLE LIKE YOU THAT THE HORROR GENRE FACES STRONG CRITICISM!" Ilgishin roared "WHO EVEN GIVES A HOOT ABOUT BERLIN OR CANNES!? HORROR MOVIES ARE A MILLION TIMES BETTER THAN THOSE POMPOUS MOVIES!"
Zero went to block again
"A movie's worth is determined by how brutally people are murdered in them!" said Ilgishin as he knocked Zero on her back "That's why you too will die in vain!"
"What's with this guy?" said Silva "It's as if he's in his own little world!"
Ilgishin then sliced the film in two, and rushed Zero, but she used the Ginroken to damage his chainsaw, torching the film.
"Ah donkey-ears..." groaned Ilgishin
"That's it!" said Silva "He hates fire!"
Zero then scraped the Ginroken against the ground, setting them on fire with white Madou Fire.
"RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGHHHHHHHH!" Zero roared as her helmet's mouth opened, allowing her to unleash a stream of white Madou Fire on the film
"THE FILM!" Ilgishin said, freaking out "YOU'RE RUINING IT...!"
The Ginroken were fully charged
"DO IT!" Yelled Silva
Zero swung the Ginroken at Ilgishin, slashing him twice with them, while incinerating the Horror alive
"THE LIGHT..." Ilgishin began "IS SINKING INTO DARKNESS! MY MOVIE...!"
Zero leaps out of the screen, and changed back.
"Your movie was an eventful one." said Jeff
"I wasn't the character in his movie." said Lydia.
All of a sudden, a lightbulb flashed in Lydia's head.
"Hello!" said Lydia, grinning
Later, the gang were doing a zombie film, Lydia was using her Super 8 camera, and they were finished.
"Cut!" said Lydia "Perfect! Well done, people!"
