Gabe had spent the better half of the week sitting around waiting for the time to be right. He knew if he waited long enough then Isafaro would find him or he could get an opening and blow some serious holes through the Vulture's army when they organize themselves. Right now he was giving the people of the city time to rest. With his own resistance boiling in the liberated section of town that was in constant riot, he had little time to wait before those people became massacred by the satellite overhead.

It was dark outside, the courtyard where he was sitting was at the heart of the rioting area where the people and soldiers were going at it all around them. It was a warzone within the city causing a major uproar across all of Isafaro. People were afraid of him, but they were more afraid of the Vulture and he could understand why. But he needed to plan his next movement.

"Exist."

Before him all fields of Alucard began to form. Even the No Life King himself. Gabriel stared at each individual one and cupped his hands together blowing into them with his warm breath.

"You're all hear to help me plan my next move-"

Of course it was the No Life King who interrupted him, "Figure it out yoursel-"

Gabriel stood up and the darkness exploded from behind him, he raised both weapons at the No Life King, "You want to fix this little problem between you and I?"

The No Life King laughed in his face and waved him off, "Go ahead, plan your little war games."

Gabe lowered his weapons. He looks to the crowd and sits back down taking a moment to gather himself before taking a good breath in and out, "We're doing more damage than helping. Of course some of you are enjoying that fact. I need to know what my mind wants me to do."

The first to speak out of turn was dressed in full red, he was the first freedom fighter of the undead world during his time in 2005. He is still a loyal member of the Hellsing family even if they do not exist anymore, "Perhaps you should approach things from a different angle. There's no reason to keep up the same pattern and let your enemy learn that you will only assault them in a forward direction."

The second to speak was wearing a full straight jacket, his black hair covering his face, only his red eyes appeared through the haze of hair and darkness, "Kill them all. They are all just pawns of a higher power. There's no better freedom than death."

Of course the next to speak appeared similar to the first, however he didn't have his glasses on nor was he wearing his hat or coat. Instead he was dressed in a red dress shirt, black vest, and black dress pants, he fought against the Pixy Dragon and Gein, during his time even allying with the winch the others despised during 2006, "I agree with the former. Change it up. Don't worry yourself with these people they will live or die no matter what happens. Hit another part of the city, or aim for the heart of the problem."

The last to speak his mind was the more kind hearted and laid back version of them all. He was still every bit of a monster as them but he fought for the people and was the biggest inspiration on Gabe's personality, "There's no reason to run away from these people. Fight for them, fight with the resistance you have similar goals. Talking to yourself wont help anymore than thinking this over a hundred times."

"Think for yourself. I'd of leveled this city like I leveled hundreds before it just for the souls and the power. The Vulture stands no opposition to my power, nor does any other being on this planet."

Gabriel lowered his head into his hands and every version of Alucard but the No Life King vanished, "It's time you figured things out for yourself. I am your biggest enemy-"

[Stranger]

Her mission directives weren't to engage Isafaro, the resistance, or the rioters. However, in order to get to the Spokesman of Insanity she would have to mow her way through a crowd of people. While he never declared himself their leader, they still protected him like he was. There were many people between the two of them, and there were about to be just as many corpses.

The Isafaro troops were all lined up in one corner holding a store front making sure it doesn't get looted and raided. They would be the first victims. The wave of blackness took the night sky away from them, they only saw a wash of darkness ravage those outside before she burst through the window. Her pistols hit each target with immense accuracy downing each one with a clean head shot. She herself rolled when her body hit the ground and she continued running forward out the back and up the back wall of the building right behind it.

She jumped when she hit the top and launched herself into the sky. The VTOL aircraft that was hovering over the crowd shining its light on the rioters didn't even see her until she landed on the top of it. The pilot looked straight up and saw her jump off and in horror watched as a massive black mass followed her smashing into the top of the VTOL forcing it to smash straight into the ground crushing many rioter. The explosion was amplified by the missiles on board blowing that corner of the city to hell and back. The building she landed on shook violently threatening to fall under her feet.

It was then she looked down and spun the M32 from her shoulder to her hands. She watched as Gabe lowered his head and saw only he and the armored man she was programmed to kill.

"You're mine."

She pulled the trigger launching the Holy Magnesium Explosive Core shell straight for Gabe.

[Der-Sprecher-des-Wahnsinns]

Of course Gabe wasn't paying any bit of attention. He was just looking up as The No Life King was talking to see a grenade shell speeding directly for him. He raised his hands to shield himself but it was far too late. The shell hit and exploded engulfing him completely. His body slid backwards. The No Life King slowly looked over his shoulder, his red eyes catching the light as he followed the trajectory to the one who fired the shell.

"Good shot. Perhaps you should of aimed for me instead. He would of been much easier to kill. As you can tell."

He turned completely around now. "Come at me if you think you can take me."

[Stranger]

"I know I can."

She jumped from the building shouldering the M32. Her body expanded, her arms out at her sides, her legs spread as she was about to hit face first into the ground. The wind blowing her hair, she could only feel herself falling, she only felt a sense of freedom for the first time in forever. The ground came closer and closer. Her eyes opened and her arms went to her sides speeding up the fall.

Then she met the ground, however she fazed right through it. Her body suddenly raised rapidly from The No Life Kings back left ten feet from him. Both pistols were raised in her hands firing bullet for bullet at him in an extreme rapid succession.

[Der-Sprecher-des-Wahnsinns]

The No Life King took the first bullet feeling it explode on impact. He felt the holy silver feeling and instantly knew they were custom made, blessed, tipped off and everything. In that moment he instantly turned with the familiars guiding his path as he rolled out of the way. His body stopped into a kneel.

"Who are you?"

The familiars pulled him forward and in that rapid instance he closed the gap between the two of them. He grabbed his sword pulling it free into one massive slash from left to right aiming solely to bisect her in one move.

[Stranger]

'He looks to over power you so easily? Good now teach him a lesson for jumping the gun.'

She was hit head on by the sword easily cutting her down, however, at first her body imploded pulling him in, and then the darkness she controlled exploded around him. The long spines would hit him first and then the tendrils would look to rip him apart.

The familiars roared into the area and she reformed another ten feet away from where he had foolishly attacked her. The bait had been laid and he fell for it. Her M32 was against her shoulder aiming at the dark mass where she stood before and she rapidly fired releasing the remaining five holy explosive shells for the center mass.

[Der-Sprecher-des-Wahnsinns]

How unexpected. Typically it was him who would do such a thing, but she was working the clock against him. As the tendrils ripped into him his familiars unleashed pushing them back, but even his familiars weren't ready when they heard the five booms and saw each holy explosive shell fly for him. The blackness all bunched together taking each shot head on. The first one did enough damage what followed utterly leveled his familiars, the last shell rippled through the darkness hitting him square in the chest blowing his armor apart.

"Impressive!

He yelled stepping through the smoke, his bare chest showing, his ribs exposed on the left side, blood pooling at his feet, however there was a wide bright toothy fanged smiled on his face and a crazed look in his eyes. "It's been a long time since someone has actually done lasting damage to my body."

[Stranger]

She frowned at him lowering the grenade launcher and takes her time putting shell for shell in it. As she's reloading she talks at him, "How does it feel to have all that power and still be outclassed by an artificial Vampire like myself? It may come to you as a shock."

She finished reloading the grenade launcher and hung it around her shoulder simply staring at the No Life King like he was nothing but a dog, similar to how he would stare at those lesser than him. "Don't just stare at me. Do something, the suspense is killing me."

[Der-Sprecher-des-Wahnsinns]

"Is that an attempt to get in my head? You'll need to do much better than that."

He began laughing and his familiars jetted from all sides of him arcing out toward her in an attempt to crush her. He disappeared in the roaring black fog that exploded the very moment the familiars left him. The hell hounds were slowly rising and sinking roaring in the fog rolling around the dark mass hungrily.

His voice came from everywhere, "You may be the first person in twelve thousand years to put me in my place, I implore you! Fully release your power! Fight me as a true agent of Nosferatu!"

[Stranger]

'They expected this amount of raw power from him. Show him your teeth.'

"Don't worry. I will."

She immediately took a bounce backwards clearing that space as his familiars slammed together in one center point, at the same time her own familiars shot out around the area, the sky, the ground, the walls, everywhere. She expected a counter if she had moved back and even set her familiars to stand in her place as she faded into her own mist of darkness.

The difference in color between his and hers, the energy radiating from his was red and orange, the energy radiating from her familiars was a violet and royal purple. Her familiars weren't hounds like his, they seemed to be more like panthers with no eyes, but mouths full of teeth, hundreds and thousands of teeth.

[Der-Sprecher-des-Wahnsinns]

His familiars ended up dwarfing the entire yard breaking the walls down and expanding into the region beyond it. The rioters began cheering in hopes that their savior was finally stepping into the battle, however it was exactly the opposite. Gabriel was out cold still, regenerating his body slowly due to the holy energies resting on his corpse, The No Life King himself didn't care for their lives.

The familiars burst into the crowds crushing many but he himself hadn't manifested just yet. Instead Alucard would allow his familiars to murder through the flocks of humans and familiars. Even so, he had to manifest eventually or this battle would last a life time. And so he rose from the middle of the darkness, his sword in his hand swinging and bearing down the full power of his black energies.

The raw energy flew at high speeds toward the mass of her familiars. He was sure he could hit them and do enough damage for her to rise up and counter. It was just a matter of time. And there was laughter...

[Stranger]

'Yes! Show him you will not be moved!'

She rose from the mass of darkness with the grenade launcher in her hand. The first two shells were holy rounds, followed by frag rounds, followed by nullifying rounds. The holy rounds hit first, easily consuming the power of his attack, they were followed by the two frag rounds that were aimed for him.

The last two rounds hit in the area nulling out all black magic. Her familiars cleared a path for her to land, and she began reloading shell for shell in the same pattern.

[Der-Sprecher-des-Wahnsinns]

"Not so fast!"

The two grenades missed completely as he disappeared. They hit and destroyed the entire side of a building some couple meters behind where he was. He reappeared as the familiars shot into the sky using the air current against the shells lifting them into the air which exploded some moments later extinguishing his familiars from their original place.

When he landed there was nothing behind him nor around him. He called back his familiars to increase his ready strength. "You are no normal artificial vampire. I feel a recognizable energy within you..." His eyes suddenly widened, "No... You're just an abomination made from an abomination. To create a clone from myself is an act against nature to the highest degree. It will be an act of mercy to rid you from this world... There can only be one Spokesman of Insanity..."

[Stranger]

"Releasing full control."

The familiars all returned to rest inside her, her aura lanced off her skin and into the air turning to smoke. She put the M32 around her back again and pulled both of her pistols free aiming them forward. Her eyes were suddenly completely black, however her iris's were glowing a bright royal purple.

"You call me an abomination, however, it is you who gladly accepted the role of a monster. I never once accepted this role, but now that I am here, I'll make the best of it."

Her lips turned into a smile. She was every bit part of a darkness he did and didn't understand. "Let's begin." Both of her weapons came to life firing bullet for bullet at him in a rapid stream as she walked forward towards him.

[Der-Sprecher-des-Wahnsinns]

"Finally! You show yourself! Pure Insanity!"

The No Life King raised his sword and slashed sending wave after wave of energy at the stranger engulfing her bullets in his energy waves, his familiars easily fueling the slashes for additional damage. Even if the bullets were holy and blessed they were still projectiles and solid.


"I... Am... The- the Abomination."

Gabe was on his feet now. He was walking toward them limping with each step. His entire body was a wreck, his leg was barely even that it was mostly meat on bone that he was dragging behind him. His left arm hung from his flesh not even attached by the bone anymore. The darkness wouldn't allow him to die like that, it wanted his body..

'Kill them both,' said the voice in his head, it wasn't like Alucard, it was dark, empty, chaotic. It was the voice of the very darkness he awoke with. So far he had just accepted the additional power, now it was present that it was laying dormant within him, 'YOU MUST RISE AGAIN!'

Every single light source in the area suddenly exploded rippling out one by one going away from him. Everything was dark in the area and he was in the darkest spot. Not because it was strategically placed, but because of the ripples of darkness lashing from his skin.

Alucard's attention was caught first as he looked at the void where only two glowing eyes staring back at him, and then it was followed by hundreds of white glowing eyes that opened all at once, "This just got more exciting."

"You will both die."

Begin badass music

He stepped forward his body complete and healed his pistols raised, they were no longer the Jackal and Casull instead they were very demonic, with jagged satanic ruins dug deep into their entire mold. Their bullets were empowered tripling their impact power and making them much more dangerous.

Every part of Gabes body was healed, he raised the demonic Casull and Jackal, one pointed at Alucard, the other at the stranger and began unloading bullets in their directions. The No Life King was facing the Casull as Gabe no longer thought him to be a thread, and Alucard swiped his sword like he had against the stranger trying to engulf the bullets.

The first time it worked, the second time even more darkness was fueling the bullets and it smashed him straight in the chest with the force of a tank. The No Life King was lifted off his feet and rolled across the ground like a rag doll, he was back on his feet in no time of course. His entire chest exposed, his heart, lungs, stomach, ribs, spine, everything exposed as it began regenerating back in place slowly.

"I am the true darkness." The voice came from Gabe's mouth, not his mind... It was the dawn of a new day.
