Dance in the vampire bund: The turtle doves of the vampire bund
By Nikolao
Chapter 6: Hydra
Silence has fallen on the industrial part of Tokyo, a huge warehouse stands among other warehouses, each with they're own numbers. This particular warehouse had number 6 on it's huge reinforced metal doors. A car approaches the warehouse, a black BMW M3, two passengers inside, one is a japanese male, short black hair, the other is a woman, a foreigner, blonde hair, they were both in theyr're late twenties, someone watching from aside would think they were a couple, they would be dead wrong. Inside the car they were siting silently, waiting for something or someone, one thing was certain, they were both keeping a close eye to the ominous warehouse 6, probably expecting something to happen or someone to show up. Some time passes, the duo remains silent, that silence was cut off abruptly by a radio call.
„Black fox 4 come in...this is central...black fox 4 come in" A female voice from the radio was heard, the blonde woman who was in the driving seat grabs the microphone attached to the radio.
„This is black fox 4, reporting a 10-97 on location, warehouse 6, the 10-90 seems to be in hiding, what are your orders? Over" She waited for a moment and then a reply was heard.
„Copy that black fox 4, you are cleared for a 10-54 on the location...additional units are inbound" The blonde girl closes the microphone to her face to say
„Copy that central, black fox 4 is 10-03, over"
She turns to the man at the passenger seat saying „Time to roll". The duo exits the car, few steps after they draw guns at the ready, they approach the side entrance of the warehouse and surround the door from both outher sides, the woman signals the man, showing three fingers, two fingers, one finger as a sign of a countdown, after the one finger was retracted the man tries the door knob, the door is unlocked, he opens the door slightly but wide enough for the woman to enter first, then he follows her inside. The warehouse was mostly dark inside, windows inside were small and they were letting some amount of light but the size of the warehouse is so big that even that amount of light is not doing any good to impove visibility. The duo came near the center of the warehouse, they take cover behind a pile of unmarked boxes, usualy warehouses like this would store boxes that were marked by a company name or at least with a note or a certificate, but this was not the case. They lift they're heads to see a man standing on the other side, checking one of the boxes he previously took from the pile.
„Where is it? Where is it? Damnit...I'm loosing time with this shit!" The man was shouting while frantically going over the box, clearly looking for something.
The male Japanese raises his gun and starts to close on at him but gets pulled back by the blonde, he turns to her and she shooks her head in dissapproval, she wants to wait it out to see what is he looking for, maybe something that can get him caught red handed which will give him more time in prison or score some evidence about some bigger fish in this crooked game. Suddenly footsteps can be heard on the other side of the warehouse, the suspicious looking guy also notices that there is someone else present in the dark.
„Who's there!?" The suspicious man shouts
Someone walks out from the shadows into the light by the window on the opposite side from where the duo was watching the situation. It was a woman, wearing a red trench coat which had a skirt on the lower part and a red wide hat, mobster looking, but there was something weird about her, her face was cowered in white tape, all you can see are her blue eyes, a blue eyed mummy wearing a red trench coat and a wide red hat, kind of like someone who just popped out from a cartoon or something. The duo was watching the scene that was going on in front of them, still waiting.
„You!" The suspicious guy shouts and then continues asking „Where is your partner?" He looks around left and right and then notices the duo lurking behind the boxes, there was no time to think, the blonde girl jumps out, drawing her gun and her badge shouting
„FBI! Freeze! Both of you!
She turns the gun to the window but the woman was not there anymore, the japanese male runs out of cover with his gun up, he runs to the window to check up on the woman, there was noone there, they lose sight of the suspicious looking man just for a part of the second but that was to late, he rushes on the japanese man, grabs him from behind and uses him as a human shield.
„There is nowhere to run! Give up now, put your hands behind your head" The blonde girl shouts while pointing the gun at them.
The suspicious man grins at her, showing his fangs iluminated better from the sunlight outside, then he digs his teeth at the Japanese man, drinking his blood, the Japanese man starts to scream in agony. The blonde woman was shocked by the scene, not knowing what to do else she rushes to them, the vampire drops the Japanese man and starts to run towards the dark. The blonde woman grabs her partner trying to hold out the bleeding by pushing her hands on the bite marks.
„Hold on...I'm gonna get you out of here" She tries to get him up by putting his hand over her shoulders while he covers the bite with his other hand, the man murmors in japanese
„What the fuck was that? This guy is a cannibal"
„No...not a cannibal...a vampire" A voice that also spoke in Japanese was heard in front of them
They raise they're heads to find a tall man in his older years...probably in his forty's or fifty's, wearing a brown trench coat with a hood, there was a scar on the right side of his face. The Japanese guy says „There is no such thing as a vam...a vam..." he starts to lose his consciousness and his balance, but was caught by the tall olderly guy, the blonde looks at the olderly guy, he starts to speak in english.
„Come on...let's get him out before that bloodsucker returns"
They drag the wounded Japanese guy out and rest him by the nearby wall, the tall olderly guy hands out a red vial to the blonde.
„Have him drink this, it tastes like shit but it will prevent him from dying" He puts the vial in the blonde's hand and starts to walk back inside.
„Hey! Wait! You're not actually going back there without any backup?" The blonde woman says, the tall man turns back and says
„You need to tend to your partner...and I need to go back and see his true form"
„His true form?" The blonde asks confused by his statement
The tall man turns again by the door saying
„Hey...it's a long story and this is a weird world in which we live in...if we see each other again later I'l tell you all about it with a cup of coffee" he pauses for a second realizing something and then he continues saying „Well actually no...there will not be any coffee...sorry"
The tall olderly man dissapears in the darkness of the warehouse, the blonde woman takes her wounded partner to the car, opens the back door and lies him inside, then she goes to the other side, opens the door and takes a better look at the bite marks that were leaking a lot of blood, she grabs the vial from the pocket and looks at her partner.
„O...Okay...I'm gonna give you something to drink...It should ease the pain...I think" She says that while opening the vial.
She pours the red contents of the vial in his mouth and then she smells the vial
„What is this?" She murmurs ro herself
„It...it...tastes like metal" The Japanese man spoke hardly
„Metal? You mean...like blood?" Blonde woman asks
„T...Tru" The Japanese man lets out a word
„Save your strength, help is on the way" The blonde tries to reassure him
„Open...the...t...trunk" The Japanese man says
She lets out a sigh as she goes to the back of the car, she pulls up the trunk and takes a look inside, her eyes gets wide, she opens her mouth in surprise and says
„Oww...you gotta be fucking kidding me"
...
The inside of the warehouse was dark and the air was moisty due to the bad conditions in which the warehouse is. The tall olderly guy grabs a flashlight from his trench coat pocket and lights the floor at his feet, then he moves the light forward untill he finds a set of claws connested to a lizzard-like body standing just in front of him, gazing him with 10 yellow eyes glowing in the dark, he counts the eyes silently and comes to the conclusion that he is standing confronted by a gang of 5 giant lizzards or a single hydra with 5 heads...he shines the flashlight at each of the pair and concludes that it really is a hydra type vampire he is dealing with.
„Let me see here...arrogant, egoist, power hungry, self centered...all the symptoms of a hydra form vampire" the old man spoke first
All of the Hydra heads stretch out towards the old man.
„Looks like you did your homework on me...mister..." Hydra asked
„Please...call me...Red Plague" The old man grined after speaking
„Tell me something...how is the old man doing? He still kicking around?" Hydra asked
„Funny thing...he said you are going to ask me that...right before your head gets cut off" Red Plague says that while smiling.
„And how do you plan to cut off my head?" Hydra plays along
„Oww...I wont be doing the cutting...she is" Red Plague tilts his head to the side
A figure jumps out of the dark, holding a katana, swings the katana right in front of the first head, the first head lifts, avoiding the blow, second head lifts to, but the third head, the center one gets sliced and falls down, followed by the beast, hydra falls to the ground. Plague makes a smirk and looks at the blood drenched figure, the blonde woman from before, she was staring and panting, looking at the beast lying before them. After a short pause she looks at him.
„Is it...dead?" She asks
„Well you did cut off the center head which was the biggest I think" Plague answers
„I think they are all the same size" The blonde woman comments while looking at the carcass, Plague turns his back to her and the beast, looks around in the dark like he is looking for something.
„There was something the old man" Turns his head to the side and says „My boss, he told me something about Hydra monsters, something about they're heads"
„Cut of one and two more will grow on it's place?" The blonde woman guesses
„Ah...exactly that" Plague snaps his fingers while saying, then his eyes get wide as he realises
„Shit! Move!" He turns around and shouts to her
The blonde turns around and sees the beast alive and kicking, all heads lifted, this time it was 6 heads, they reach out to grab her but she jumps to the side. Plague draws a small injection gun from his hidden holster and shoots a dart containing a small red vial, the dart hits the fourth head, hydra screams in what looks like unbearable pain. Hydra lifts its heads one more time and charges forward, Plague dodges the charge and hydra breaches the metal hangar doors like it was made of paper. Hydra did not go to far after breaking outside, it was weak because of the dart that was forcing it to change back to vampire form. Plague stood at he breach, first he was smirking, then his smirk turns into a confused face.
„Now this is something you dont see every day" Plague says while watching
Above his head, on the roof of the warehouse the woman in the red trench coat and the mummified face stood.
„Hey...I though vampires burn on sunlight" The mummified woman speaks
„I'm just as confused as you are" Plague answers without taking his eyes of the vampire that was standing outside on the sunlight, not geting burned one bit.
The vampire uses this moment of pure confusion to run away.
„And now he is running" Plague says and turns to the woman on the roof
„Go! Get that bastard! I'l stay here...I need to clean up this mess" The mummified woman says in a commanding manner
Plague looks at the confused blonde woman and at the car, her partner was by the car, on his feet.
„What is that bloody fool doing up on his feet?" The blonde referred to her partner who was bit on his neck, bleeding just few moments ago.
„I'm sorry for this...and I'm sorry for what is about to happen to you and your partner" Plague looks at the blonde with sincere sympathy.
„What do you mean by that?" She asks him couriously
Plague looks at her deeply and with sadness on his face then he turns his back, goes after the vampire. The blonde goes back to her partner.
„What are you doing on your feet? You are wounded...I have to get you to a hospital ASAP" The blonde woman says in a loud tone
„Relax...look...It's gone, the bite marks are gone and the bleeding stopped" The japanese tries to reassure her.
She looks at him confused and comes close to inspect the wound, but she gets interrupted by a sound of something landing on the roof od they're car, It was the mummified woman. She looks at the blonde.
„You have a beautiful face, nice curves,perfect round eyes, no pimples, no imperfections, a well shaped nose, you are probably getting flirted by boys a lot" The mummified woman speaks
The blonde looks a her confused
„Here...let me show you...my face" The mummified woman says while starting to unwrapp the long white tape of her head. The blonde woman and her partner gave they're full attention on the face that was now uncovered before them. They start to breathe heavily, they're eyes starts to wide, the blonde woman drops the katana on the grass...
Few seconds later...they both start screaming.
Author's note: I have finally updated the story, before I say anything I would like to say I'm sorry for making this update late. I would say that I was busy and didn't have time, but that would be a lie, I had plenty of time and inspiration but was a bit lazy to sit and write it down. I really hope you liked this chapter, it was different, introduced a lot of new faces in the story, going to introduce some more people soon. I was not planning to make this a long series but the way it's going now looks like it's going to be a long ride so buckle up. In this chapter you will notice the characters have been using codes, those are police codes (I know I know...FBI and police codes are not the same but try finding FBI codes online without having a swat team breaking your front door with a ram, I just hope I dont get arrested for writing these codes in my story, I did find them on google easily, they are here to make the story a bit more realistic) so without further ado I will show you what those codes meant:
10-97: Arrived at scene
10-90: Suspicious person
10-54: Arrest and hold for
10-03: Stop transmitting
Black fox 4: Specific unit code (I made that one up)
