Chapter 7
"Hey, Artie, I think we need your assistance at the harbor," Alfred commented upon hearing Arthur answer his phone. Alfred himself was not at the harbor, and in all actuality was on his way to pick Arthur up. He had moments before received an order to come to the harbor and help the officers which went to arrest Emil. This was not helped by the fact that several screams and other panicked noises could be heard in the background. Needless to say, he figured that Arthur could most likely prove useful.
"I see, this is sooner than expected," was all Arthur could say as he thought over what could have happened. He still needed to create a plan and did not feel confident fighting a demon without a full-proof one, but he also realized that this was one of those times when he could not always get what he wanted.
"I'm almost at your house so I'll pick you up soon," Alfred replied then hung up. With this Arthur returned his phone and walked into the living room to see Alastair thumb through a random book.
"Demon attacking that ghost kid?" Alastair asked without even looking up from the book.
"From the sounds of it, yes. Alfred is picking me up and I'm going to see exactly what is happening," Arthur answered.
"Ye know what exactly yer doing?"
"More or less, it's hard to plan these things out when you don't have all the details," Arthur defended.
"That's the kind of defense someone akin to losing gives. Should I come in case your plan backfires?" Alastair asked with a curious glance.
Arthur scowled at this and replied, "Believe it or not I will not need your kind of help. Besides, you know that the inspector cannot help the inspectee."
Alastair shrugged to this and stood up when a knock came to the door. He then continued to follow Arthur to the door and announce that he wanted to come anyways. Arthur realized that there was not going to be an easy way to get rid of him, and Alfred liked the idea of extra help, so the three of them left for the harbor.
"I must thank you for coming out into the open tonight. It really does save me the trouble of having to hunt you down," Prosecutor Ivan commented as he stared at the person who decided to join the fight.
"You know that's a pretty cliché statement right there, right? Or at least I have the feeling a certain ghost I know would say something along those lines," Vlad chuckled dryly only to then vanish from sight. A moment later, a streak of crimson light was seen followed by the officers nearest to it finding themselves blasted into the water.
The remaining officers looked around in a panic, unsure how they were to fight a creature which was invisible, faster, and stronger then them. Ivan watched this curiously for a moment before he replied, "You seem to be enjoying yourself, yet you have yet to actually kill anyone. Interesting."
"When you've been around as long as I have you learn that it is a bit hard to stay hidden if you kill everything you touch," Vlad retorted only to then rush to Ivan and kick him hard in the face. Ivan attempted to hold his ground, but still found himself knocked over. Vlad then pinned him down and continued, "I suppose that's a difference between us vampires and you demons. We know how to have fun without it causing too many issues while your kind only knows how to revel in destruction."
"Oh, I would not say that we're all that different," Ivan retorted with a smirk. Vlad then found himself releasing Ivan as the woman with the daggers turned them towards him. Ivan quickly got to his feet and continued, "This human remembers reading about several strange occurrences in the past of unsolved attacks. They went on for decades, but stopped roughly seven years ago. Any ideas why?"
Vlad laughed slightly and answered, "Who knows, maybe the attacker simply found a better opportunity. Or perhaps the game simply became boring," only to then vanish and dodge as several of the police officers still standing shot at him. The woman was able to read Vlad's movement, and lunged herself and blade right where Vlad tried to dodge.
The blade used was brought and meant mainly to attack the ghosts, not a vampire, so Vlad knew that it would not destroy him. That did not, however, mean that it would not hurt and caused Vlad to stagger a bit as it slid into his side.
"I was hoping you would be a bit more fun," Ivan commented as he walked over to the vampire opponent.
"Then I guess we'll just have to try harder. NOW!" Vlad retorted then shouted at someone behind Ivan and the woman. Surprised, the two looked behind them to see and equally surprised Gilbert.
"Ah, hi…that was kind of an unawesome retreat on the vamp's part. Give me a moment to think of an awesome plan of attack," Gilbert requested.
Ivan called the woman to not attack and commented, "Before we attack, where did you whole up the ghost Emil?"
"Hell if I know, I got separated from him in the fog. Now…attack, attack, you know this would be a lot easier if this was my turf and I had the strength to lift stuff up."
The woman grew tired of waiting and rushed up to attack the ghost, only for Gilbert to easily dodge. This continued for a few more attempts ending in a strange dance of lunges and dodges. At last Gilbert laughed and replied, "You seem pretty used to wielding those knives, fraulien, but I'm betting that you never tried to attack someone as awesome as me."
The dance then ended when Ivan revealed an iron pipe from beneath his coat and hit Gilbert over the head with it. After the hit, Gilbert Vanished from the harbor.
