This was written from memory so don't sue if it's not quite like it was in the movie.

The stairs creaked as the dark man climbed up to the bell tower. The only light was that coming from the moon. The first thing that really caught his eye was a strangely dressed young girl with curly brown hair and a denim cap jammed on her head at a jaunty angle, though probably not by design. The creature must have taken her hostage. She couldn't be more than eleven or twelve.

She held up a hand in warning. Her mouth didn't even get half open before....

" Woah!" the creature swung down from a roof beam, putting his face mere inches away from the man's." You're a big one," he said," You'll be hard to digest."

" Dr. Jekyll--"

" It's Mr Hyde now."

" You what?" exclaimed the girl, speaking for the first time since the man arrived," Jekyll and Hyde? As in the greatest case of split personality ever?"

" Mr Hyde, you are charged with the murder of sixteen men, eleven women, four children-" the man began.

" Twenty goats and a rather nasty massacre of poultry," cut in Hyde, climbing like an overweight monkey around on the rafters and pinching the dark man's hat." So, you're the great Van Helsing?"

" Oh, you're havin' me on!" the girl spluttered backing away from the scene," Van Helsing?!" she gasped, increduously. Seeing that she was being ignored she muttered," Alright, don't mind poor little me." This had no effect whatsoever.

"The church would like me to take you back to Rome so that they can extricate your better half," Van Helsing sounded bored as he said this.

" I bet they bloody would!"

" Personally I would rather just kill you and be done with it," he turned to face Mr Hyde properly," But let's make it your decision, shall we?"

" Hmm," said Hyde, as if considering the offer," Do let's."

He reached out and grabbed Van Helsing by his long leather coat and flung him through a wooden beam. Van Helsing shot at him from where he had landed with a couple of pistols that had been hidden inside his coat. The girl scrambled behind a statue and clamped her hands over her ears to shield them from the noise. Bullets ricocheted of the rafters, seeking warm flesh. None had hit Hyde, or if they had, they had no effect on him. Then, he was gone.

Van Helsing sprang up, shaking the splinters off his clothes. The girl tentatively crawled out from behind the statue.

" A-are you really Van Helsing?" she asked," This isn't a joke or something?"

Van Helsing pulled a face and pulled a semi-flattened bullet from the statue she'd been hiding behind.

" This look like a joke?" he replied, handing it to her.

" Wowsers..." she said softly. She looked up to see him starting to leave." W-wait! My name's Toni. And i have no idea where I a--Well I'd say I was in France but there's no pointy bit on the Eiffel.."

Van Helsing sighed. He didn't have time for this. " Go home."

" See, now that could be a problem cos before Gigantor over there turned up I'd just found myself in the middle of flippin' France which is pretty strange as I live in Lancashire and there was this twister thing like out of Dorothy---"

" Do you ever shut up?" He said, shoving her aside," It's not my problem. Just stay out of my way!"

" Fine!" said Toni," Rude git."

Van Helsing climbed the stairs in silence, Toni following.

They entered the long room at the top of the rickety stairs. Van Helsing with a calm demeanor while Toni flitted to the edge where she had some form of shelter, right where the rafters met the wall. From here she could see what was going on.

Mr Hyde appeared at the far end of the long room, using the afters as monkey bars, swinging his over sized body from beam to beam and travelling at a frightening speed. Toni stared in dumb horror but didn't fail to see Van Helsing pull out two deadly sharp tojo blades and set them spinning.

" Ready-or-not-here-I-come!" bellowed Hyde.

Van Helsing didn't react until Hyde was almost on top of him. When he did, it was explosive: he ducked out of Hyde's way and slashed his belly, leaving the monster with a huge gash and sending him barreling into the large, iron bell with a resounding clang.

" Oooh, the bell!" hollered Hyde in agony, an evil glint in his eye. Toni giggled at first. Then she saw it coming.

" The bell!" she yelled," Van Helsing!"

Van Helsing strode towards Mr Hyde, tojo blades upraised. Mr Hyde picked up the bell. Van Helsing cottoned on and began to retreat quickly. Not quickly enough. Mr Hyde slammed the bell on top of the man, effectively trapping him with little chance of escape.

" No!" cried Toni," H-he'll run out of air!" she yelled as Hyde gloated, twirling Van Helsing's hat," You bastard!"

Hyde merely laughed at her antics and took a swipe at the young girl. She jerked away just in time, backing away until her back hit the opposite wall as Hyde reached out for her. 'This is it' thought Toni. She had a flashback of the dead girl she saw, out in the city, and of the list of victims she heard. Now, it seemed, she and Van Helsing would join them...

Mr Hyde had stopped. Toni was still frozen in place with her eyes closed. Tentatively, she opened one eye, then the other to find Mr Hyde making his way back to the bell. And there was a mechanical whirring coming from it.

Mr Hyde lifted the bell over his head, which still wore the wide-brimmed hat, revealing a neat hole cut out of the floorboards. About a third of Toni wanted to laugh. The other two thirds were annoyed at Van Helsing for leaving her with Godzilla's shorter, fatter cousin. Actually, they were more than annoyed. In fact, they were pretty darn pissed. A hand whipped the hat off Hyde's head and disappeared back inside the bell. A blade flashed and the bell rolled out of Mr Hyde's grip. So did one of his arms.

" Oh, naw....oh, naw!" howled Hyde as Van Helsing tumbled back into visibility. Toni watched in horror as the severed limb twitched and jerked before shrinking and wrinkling.

" I'll bet that's upsetting," remarked Van Helsing.

" Oh, ya think?" hissed Toni as she ran over to help him up. Hyde turned to them with snarl on his face. He barrelled towards them, his remaining hard outstretched. Van Helsing threw Toni out of the way, but he wasn't so fast in saving himself. Hyde caught him and spun him round like a professional shot-putter, flinging straight through the ceiling. Hyde took a flying leap, following him through the hole he left behind.

" Oh, no, you don't." Toni muttered. she found another set of stairs and rushed out onto the cathedral roof as Hyde declared " Ah, Paris!", waving his arm at the nighttime city. He turned to Van Helsing, pulling up the rags of his trousers. Behind him, Toni winced at the sight.

" I think you'll find the view here rather spectacular!" he announced, picking up Van Helsing.

" NO!" she shrieked, running to the balustrade and put her arms out, making a futile barrier, " Put him down!"

" Fine," said Hyde," Au revoir!" he taunted Van Helsing, throwing him from the top of Notre Dame.

" NO!!!" Toni screamed," You...you great, soft, sissy, nancy, french, bender MAN-UNITED-SUPPORTING BASTARD!!"

" Sorry to tell you this, lass, but I'm a Londoner."

Toni curled up into a little ball in fear, and Hyde was speared through the stomach by a barbed grapple.

Phew! That was a long chapter! And my first fight scene as well! So, what d'you think? Surely, that's review worthy, right? Constructive criticism greatly appreciated, flames will be LAUGHED AT!

Thanks!
