We couldn't rush them. Almost instantly, Naomi was spotted. I knew her blonde hair would be somewhat of an issue. Luckily, Scorpio and I managed to hide in some bushes before anyone saw us. The two guys put a gun to her head and shot. "NAOMI!" Scorpio ran in, and pulled out her scythe. Naomi, laid there. Scorpio slashed at the two guys, slicing the legs of one, and the arm of another. I looked over to where Naomi was. She wasn't there. "That was close." I jumped, "Jesus Naomi!" Scorpio ran back to where we were hidden. "Sorry, forgot the whole vampire thing. I guess they know we're here now." I nodded, "Yup." A group of people ran out the doors, and looked around, poking at the ground. A guy walked out, wearing all black, he had long hair that went down to his knees, I didn't need to be close to him to see that his eyes were a bright red, similar to Akumura and Naomi's. He looked to be around six foot nine, and had an assortment of blades so versatile strapped to his waist that I was almost sure he was a blacksmith and just made those for the hell of it. He turned his head, and looked directly at us. Scorpio took off her eyepatch, and looked right at him. He turned around, and went back inside the warehouse.
We sat still for 3 minutes, before the guys decided to give up. "Well, that was a bust." I put my hand on the handle of my sword, "So we can't just go in there guns blazing, especially against that guy. He looks like he can take all of us and kick our asses easily." Naomi nodded, "Agreed." Scorpio glared at the building. "There was something about him. He felt older than he looked, thousands of years older. But he looks no more than 20."
"Don't tell me he's a vampire too." Naomi closed her eyes for a second, "Yeah, he's a vampire."
"How could you tell?" She pointed to two small slit scars on her neck, "That's Alucard."
We all sat there, "Are you sure? I mean, that could be just any extremely powerful, tall, intimidating guy." Naomi nodded, "Well, if he is, then I have a plan."
"What is it?" She looked at Scorpio, "How good are you at acting?" Scorpio shrugged, "Pretty good I guess. Let me guess, you're going to go to him professing you've found him at long last, and that you've brought me as a sign that you're allegiant to him, while Bill takes out guards, and you eventually turn on him leading to a fight between us, all the while hoping Jamie's made it here and Bill's done taking out everyone else?" Naomi made finger guns, "Bingo, how'd you know?" Scorpio pointed to her eye, "Mind reader."
Naomi walked toward the base, holding Scorpio by the neck. She pointed two fingers toward the ground, my signal to start walking. She opened the door to the base and walked in, slamming it behind her. I ran toward the building, putting my ear to the wall to hear what was going on inside. "Are you sure that's you? You've grown at least a full foot!"
"Yes, I remember you vividly. I shot you with a shotgun, you broke some windows, and you watched me sleep."
"That's not proof enough," There was a pause, "Oh! I do remember that! I must say, that was one of the cleanest bites I've had in years!" There was a hearty laughing, followed by some talking I couldn't make out, and a door slamming.
I took my chance, and ran in. Almost right away, I had three guns on me. "Now, don't shoot. Do you guys remember me?" One of them lowered his gun, "Bill?" He started walking toward me. "Masaomi?" He looked at me, "Man, what are you doing here?"
"Someone from your gang killed my friend's dad. She's here for vengeance, I'm here to fight that big guy." Masaomi looked at me as if I had just killed everyone in the room, "Alucard? No way. We all tried taking him out around a month ago, and he shrugged it off like it was nothing." He rolled up one of his sleeves revealing a bite shaped scar on his arm, "He took a good amount of blood from all of us. If it weren't for the boss, we would've died." Everyone nodded in agreement. "Well, why are you even working for him then?"
"Isn't it obvious? If a guy like him tells you you're working for him, you're working from him. Even so, the boss threatened to kill half of us if we didn't." I sighed, of course. "Well, can you guys maybe not interfere?" He loaded his gun, "No can do, we have direct orders." I heard a gunshot from across the room, and saw some of the concrete right in front of my feet chip. "Well, it looks like we have a volunteer." I ran toward him. He was shorter than I am, I sliced one of his legs, and stabbed the other when he was on the ground. "Anyone else?" Everyone except for Masaomi had their guns pointed at me, "Well, looks like we have a nice battle royale. I wonder who'll go out first?" I ran around the room, "And Grunt #4 gets first blood! See ya later Grunt #10!" Gunshots rang throughout the room until three goons, Masaomi, and myself stood. "Well, that was quite the game. I gotta say though, you really should go for the easiest targets last." I ran toward one of them, "Like so." I grabbed the gun from the guy next to him and shot him in the arm. "3." I shot the other in the abdomen, "He'll live. 2." I shot the last one in three times in the legs and arm. "1." Masaomi looked at me, "How the hell-"
"I've been training all week for this exact moment." Masaomi stepped back, "He's not gonna like this. He's gonna-" Scorpio flew through the wall. "SCORPIO!" Naomi jumped through the hole Scorpio made. Scorpio barely managed to get up. Alucard stepped through the hole, "What happened here?!" Masaomi turned white, "I-I I swear it wasn't anything to do with me! I was outside standing guard-" A knife flew and hit him in the chest. "I-I-" I ran toward him. "Bill."
"What is it?"
"This was-" The life drained from his eyes. I looked at Alucard, "Zero." I grabbed my sword from next to Masaomi's body, "Hey Naomi, any chance you can do that thing?" She nodded, "I think it's absorbed enough."
"Good."
I ran toward the goliath of a vampire, slashing at him. Each strike seemed to only make him mad. He grabbed the blade of my sword. Naomi ran from behind him and stabbed through his neck. "ARRRUUGHH!" He held his hand on Naomi's sword, and shoved it back, making a hole in his hand in the process. I pressed the button on my sword, and the handle extended right as he reached for my arm. The blade curved, and cut off part of his hand. "YOU-" His neck was already completely healed. Scorpio hobbled toward the hole she made. "Damnit Jamie, where are you?" While I was paying attention to Scorpio, a hand reached for my face and grabbed me, and I flew toward the wall. I pushed the button on my scythe, and stuck the blade in the ground, barely protecting myself. I touched my face, and looked at my hand. There was black all over it. "Great." I ran toward him, and he stuck his hand out toward me. I jumped over his arm and landed on his shoulder. I stabbed my sword into his arm, leaving it connected by small bits of skin and tissue. He grabbed me with his non-damaged hand, and positioned my neck near his mouth. "NO!" Naomi sliced at his other arm, not doing a lot, but ensuring he let me go. Suddenly, we heard a gunshot, and the remaining tissue from his arm was severed, and it fell to the ground. "AAAARRUGGGGGHHHHH!" He covered the opened wound with his hand. Naomi and I looked up. The calvary has arrived. Jamie waved at us, and flew to another position.
