Chapter 5: Alucard and Matt Vs The Dandy Man

Opening credits: Haruka Kanata, "Far Away" (Naruto season 2)

As the entrance point to the lift opened the solider called out to the surviving members of the swat team.

“come on, we’re getting out of here, let’s move, move, move!” as the soldiers ran towards the lift to get out of there alucard and matt were walking slowly behind. Suddenly two shots were fired simultaneously killing the two trailing soldiers behind through the head. As blood splattered out the soldiers looked in fear of the two terrorists. As they looked down the hall they could see the line of dead bodies and decapitated corpses these terrorists have left. But that wasn’t that frightened them the most, the terrorists started to glow. The tall red one started to glow a red mist around him as he soaked up the blood from the dead bodies. The slightly shorter blonde one started to glow black as his burning eyes looked into their heart of the soilders and played with their fears. As alucard stood up he roared with blood still in his mouth while matt just laughed insanely. As they retreated back into the lift Matt and Alucard were walking slowly side by side with their guns loaded and ready for more blood. As they walked ever closer one of the soilders said in a panic.

“Let’s go!” as one of the soilders pressed the close door button on the lift repeatedly he looked up only to be caught in Alucards hypnotic gaze. As alucards eyes widened and glowed bright red the soilders eyes turned from green to red as the doors closed the soilders were breathing easily now, That was until the doors opened again. As they gasped in horror of the figures slowly walking towards them, they saw one of their own pressing the button keeping it open. As he pressed the button repeatedly he had lost his mind, literally with a trance look in his eye and drool coming out of his mouth with nothing but a half smile on his face. As the soilders grabbed him one of them said. “Stop him! By any means!” As alucard and matt approached ever closer with the murderous look in their eyes the soilders had no choice. As the leader of the squad pulled his gun out he shot several rounds into the mans torso ripping him apart as his finger was released from the button they threw him out in front of the vampire to slow him down. As he laid down in his small pool of blood the men shouted “Quickly close the door.” As the wounded man looked up he saw Alucards gun to his head then without a second passing alucard opened fire and shot the man through the head. As the blood splattered everywhere matt was moving more and more into the darkness in his heart, he was actually beginning to enjoy killing these people a chance he would probably have never taken over 50 years ago. As they walked leaving footprints in the blood the lift doors were closing, but they didn’t close fast enough. As they were about to close alucards guns came through the gap stopping the doors from fully closing the soilders tried to escape but they couldn’t due to the fact that the only way out was two shots through the head. As alucard pushed the doors apart he said darkly.

“Open sesame!” as the soilders mouths hung in shock alucard said to them. “Good work soilders…now good night!” As matt headed for the stairs Alucard opened fire on the soilders killing them all before the lift doors even closed. As the lift went down to the ground floor matt grinded down the railing that ran along the side of the stairs like a skateboarder without the skateboard, hoping to beat alucard to the bottom. As he grinned down the stairs enemy soilders were still retreating so he decided to have a little fun with them. As he fired several shots at the soilders that were going down the stairs their blood coated the stairs in a thick blood layer, as Matts grind became faster and faster he was hoping to beat alucard to the bottom and beat his kill score not one drop of blood landed on him during the whole grind. Matt had finally came to the end of the railing, he smiled and then he jumped off the railing kicking the door and stood in front of the lift doors waiting for alucard. Suddenly the lift pinged and its doors had opened matt looked at all the dead bodies in lift and all the blood that flowed out, as Alucard walked passed him he dropped his empty bullet cartridge onto the floor and reloaded as matt looked inside he thought to himself.

“That’s IT? Man I killed a lot more than that going down the stairs.” As matt catch’ed up to Alucard one of the bodies that were up against a wall fell down onto the pile. As they walked through the deserted lobby they could see outside an audience was waiting for them alucard smiled and so did matt, if matt dyed his hair black and had grown fangs he would be a mini version of Alucard. Suddenly Matt saw something glimmer in the shadows when the search light hit the corner of the hall way matt smiled it was another S.W.A.T. team coming to try and stop them. “So that’s where you’ve been hiding?” said matt as his eyes glowed with evil. As they took aim matt slowly clapped his hands and said to them evilly. “I’m going to blow you all away.” Outside a news reporter said to the camera explaining the situation.

“It’s been five minutes since a new S.W.A.T. team went in; we still haven’t heard any word from the inside.” Suddenly the S.W.A.T. team that went in was blown through the glass doors as they blown away from a huge gust of wind from inside the hotel. As the shattered glass rained all over the ground the bodies were blown high into the sky. As the camera crew looked up they could see the S.W.A.T. falling but he was horrified of where the bodies landed. They fell onto the flagpoles outside the hotel, impaling them with blood running down. Six flagpoles, Six S.W.A.T. team members, Zero survivors the people were terrified. Suddenly the hotel doors opened up and out walked Matt and Alucard into the light where their dark shadows reflected on the hotel behind them. Alucard smiled and laughed as he said to matt.

“That was a neat trick you did to them…kinda like mine back home, now let me show you one of mine.” He said as he released an angry swarm of bats to eat the human remains. All over the world people were watching these two terrifying figures killing these heavily armored police men so easily. Integra back in England lit a Cuban cigar with a match stick as she smiled at the performance, Walter grinned largely showing all his teeth. In Rome Enrico was looking at this marvelous display of hell, these idiots were doing a job for him and if they get slaughtered in the process it’s a win-win situation. However not many others enjoyed this performance as much as they did, Anderson stared angrily at the T.V. because they were murdering his kind of people and wished for someone to slaughter them and all their kind. Over the oceans of Cuba the girl with the red hair and green eyes looked in horror to see these two just slaughtering innocent people, and from an unknown location a man in a white suit laughed and became giddy at the sight of blood being spilled everywhere.

“What a glories spectacle I love it, I miss my beautiful creation so very much.” He said as he applauded this sight. “Look at him, so hideous it makes my spine tingle, this is what I want. An ultimate life form that dances between life and death, who mocks the borders between sanity and madness.”

As he remembered back in the days of old friends and partners he said to his two colleagues. “He looks as lively as the first day I saw him all cooped up in that small pod of liquid ooze. He is truly inhuman this one, this creation created by a group of mad scientists nearly 20 years ago. This…Noble project.” As he picked up the photo frame next to him he said.

“Oh Waldo, its too bad your not alive now, you now won’t get to see the true nature of your so called “son” as he rips through these people like pieces of paper. Just imagine what powers he could have held in that world you always dreamed of creating, well now I’m creating that world and your “son” is going to make that a reality.” As he sighed he continues to say “I can hear the symphony of war now, it’s been so very long, the Chorus of screams rising from the pits of hell.” Back outside the hotel Matt and Alucard looked at all the terrified faces in the crowd they knew that their mission had only just begun and they were both low on ammunition. Suddenly the crowd parted and out stepped a man in long trench coat with brown shoes and a brown hat bent on one side.

“Oh my.” He tisked at Matt and Alucard “You shouldn’t really play with your food. You both certainly live up to your reputations.” As matt and alucard glared at the man, he suddenly bowed in front of them and said to them. “My name is Tubalcaine Alhambra, mister alucard and master matt. But some people prefer to call me “The Dandy Man” as alucard and matt walked matt applauded the dandy mans introduction and said to him.

“Fascinating, did these poor souls belong to you?” as he looked he said to matt.

“Oh, you’re speaking of those poor unfortunate men up there.” As he looked up the blood was dripping more and more as their eyes looked down. “Their superiors were fools and so they allow their men to end up in such a state, truly amazing what some people will do on a promise of immortality.” He said as he held a card between his fingers as he smiled at matt and alucard.

“Taking advantage of idiots we all know there’s no such thing as immortality.” Matt said cruelly.

“No need to be cruel, they still serve their purpose. After all how many holy ammunitions do you both have left?”

“You’re starting to bore us, so let’s cut to the chase what are you here for?” suddenly cards started to fly out of the dandy mans arm a swirl around him. As they fluttered around him like birds he said to matt and alucard.

“I’m here to take your life and unlife.” as He sniggered he said to them “The shadow legion has given me the task of brining you both in…well at least a sample of you both.” Suddenly the cards moved from the dandy man to matt and alucard as they circled them dandy man threw a card at them both hoping to get them. As the thin playing card cut through the solid stone stairs the dust cloud had blocked the slicing of matt and alucard. As the dandy smiled for their demise the dust cloud began to subside only to see a solid stone wall that partially blocked the attack. Matt suffered a deep cut on his right shoulder which had also cut through his metal plating Madison had installed in his uniform. Alucards right cheek was severely cut as blood poured out from it, but neither of them seemed to be affected by it. As alucard glared he said to the dandy man.

“I get it! There’s absolutely no reasoning with you people which leaves us with no choice! But to keep killing until none of you are left standing! Didn’t your masters learn that the last time I decimated them?” but dandy man was paying no attention instead he pulled out his cards, did a few tricks with them, like the card fan flash and the zero G shuffle. Suddenly the dandy threw his cards like kunais at Matt and Alucard. Alucard and Matt manage to dodge them and land on the solid pavement at the bottom, now the fight begins as alucard and matt dodged the cards by hoping out of the way.

As Alucard jumped out of the way at each card that came flying at him, as he jumped from a barrage of cards being thrown at him a policemen and camera mans head’s got severed and blood was spilled everywhere. As he tried to go for matt, matt blew the card of course and caused an explosion as the card cut through some canisters of gas that were left on the side. As the fire raged alucard fired several shots at the dandy man, the dandy man manage to doge all of them and instead of him the news crew and several other policemen got slaughtered as the bullets ripped through their heads and the blood was spilled everywhere. As they ran side by side alucard opened up a few shots but kept missing, until matt got in one shot that went straight through the neck and the blood poured out. But something didn’t seem right. All of a sudden the dandy man turned into a bunch of cards that fluttered away as alucard and matt looked at the disappearing dandy man matt thought to himself.

“Rats! He used a card substitution.” As they stood there a sudden explosion came from behind them no less then two feet away blowing them both to the floor. As matt tried to get up he saw alucard flat out on the floor with both his guns still in hand. As matt panted he said. “Damn! This guy is strong, but where did he learn ninja tricks like that?” suddenly from the smoke came out dandy man who smiled evilly at them both and said to them.

“You’ve fallen right into my trap.” As he snapped his fingers a circle of dust appeared then the cards came out of nowhere in the air and circled matt and alucard then without warning…. The floor beneath them erupted and bits of debris went flying everywhere. As the dandy man approached the area where he thought he had destroyed the two inhuman monsters and leave nothing there shredded remains. As the smoke cleared he could see nothing but a very deep hole of which his cards made but no blood, not even a finger was left either that or they somehow avoided the attack. Suddenly a pair of boots was on the side of the building carrying a body on his shoulder as the figure gave out a small growl dandy man turned to see what was making that noise. As he turned round he couldn’t believe it matt was carrying alucard over his shoulder while walking up the side of the building.

“Oh no you don’t.” said dandy man as he jumped on to the building as he walked slowly up he shouted to matt “Matt the Project…your so disappointing.” Meanwhile on the ground a police office was walking slowly to the tent he was masked so you couldn’t tell who he was as he walked in the two generals were talking saying.

“Mr Alhambra is still in the middle of fighting.”

“But if anything happens to him we wont get what coming to us.”

“According to ground reports-” but before he could finish his sentence a bullet whizzed through his head and the blood was spilled. As one of the generals turned round he saw the masked police that walked in behind him and then a bullet was shot into his chest. As he collapsed to the floor the soilders turned round to see two of their generals on the floor dead but before they could react they too were also killed by a bullet through the head. As they the remaining soilders inside the tent walked towards this masked policemen they fell one by one until there was no one left standing. As he put away his gun he placed a small block on the table. It was a small green block that had a label on the side with wire wrapped around it, the label read in big capital bold letters.

“CHARGE DETONATION BLOCK M 1 1 4” as he placed it down he walked out of the tent dropping his mask at the entrance to the tent. As he walked further away you could see the guys face more clearly, it was pip. As he reached into his pocket he pulled out one of the cigarettes and placed it in his mouth then he reached into his other pocket and pulled out his lighter. As he lit his cigarette the bomb inside the tent exploded, wiping out the soilders around the tent in a deadly inferno. As the soilders ran in to see if there were any survivors pips lighter burned furiously until he closed the lid. As he looked up into the sky he said to himself.

“I guess that’s one more step to earning my pay check, now where did they put that helicopter?” he said as he looked around. Meanwhile on top of the hotel a large trail of blood was left on the roof. There was a huge pool of blood before it trailed away. The blood trail ended where alucard was trying to get up next to him was matt with glowing green hands. As alucard struggled he said to matt.

“I can’t stop bleeding.”

“I’m trying the best I can to stop the bleeding, now just hold still.”

“Those cards of his must be really special.” As alucard laughed a small chuckle he said to matt. “Magic playing cards huh, just like the ones your partner has.”

“Yeah except they don’t cut into our skin and she doesn’t throw them like a mad man possessed.” As matt continued healing alucard, alucard said to him.

“How interesting…you sir Dandy man are very amusing, hi.” As matt stood up he turned round to see that the dandy man was already here.

“Are you ready for another round, mister alucard?”

“Yeah he’s ready and so am I.” said matt bravely.

“That’s good… because I have a special place for you both just waiting for you, in the deepest parts of hell.” He said trying to strike fear into them, but instead of fear running through them only laughter was heard. “What is something funny?” he asked as matt and alucard looked at him alucard chuckled and said.

“I’m just pleased that’s all, the world would be so boring without idiots like you to amuse us.” As they stood in the light of the blood red moon matt and alucards started to sway and weave like fire. “A new shadow legion group! A revived last battalion. Yes I know you remind me of that insane little major and his freak show he calls an army. Im grateful that the world still breeds such madness.” As the wind coat their coats bats came flying out of alucards while clouds of darkness flew out of matt. As they raised their hands into claw like grasps alucard shouted “Now it’s to play Alhambra. I want to hear you squeal like a pig!”

“And im going to make sure you do!” added matt. As Alhambra smiled he said to them.

“You expect me to squeal, are you serious? Don’t you see what is happening? If only the world was so simple. You both have really gone completely soft in the head!” he said as he threw his cards furiously only for them to be blown away by matts attack. As alucard prepared to go demon matt suddenly disappeared into thick black smog while alucard hid in the dust cloud that was formed.

“Trying to run again? Useless” said Alhambra as he held up two cards. As the fog cleared he could see the derbies he had caused to the roof. Suddenly from the darkness a shot was made at Alhambra’s cards blasting them out of his hands. As Alhambra looked at the debris he could see another one of them. It was Seras holding a riffle that fired 13.7mm rounds this was just a distraction. As she fired more shots Alhambra used his cards to deflect the bullets he was being pushed back. As he grunted furiously at this barrage attack sears was screaming to battle hoping that he would soon tire and make target practice a little easier. Alhambra became tired of this and said angrily.

“Little bitch” suddenly Seras clicked the trigger several times she realized it was out of ammo and threw away the gun like it was worthless. As it bounced and clunked off the derbies behind her she pulled out the Harkonnen. As she took aim she fired the missile at Alhambra hoping to hit her mark. As the cannon made a loud boom Alhambra drew one of his cards as the missile closed in on him he threw the card splitting the missile in half as he yelled “Go to hell!” as the each half of the missile landed behind covering him in a thick cloud of smoke he was waiting for something to happen. As he wiped his face angry defeat he said out loud. “I’ve had enough of this battle.”

Suddenly a low growl was heard in the smoke as he quickly turned he saw two figures in the smoke as he threw his cards at them they both fell to the floor. Before he could escape from the smoke two more figures appeared this time with guns cocked and loaded, he tried one more time to take them down and threw one of his cards at the figures hoping this time it would take them down, it got them but what appeared from the smoke was inhuman. A devil hound with a thousand eyes and sharp teeth appeared holding the guns, but if that things there then, where are matt and alucard? Behind him two glowing red eyes and a heavy breath watched the dandy man cower in fear. As the dandy man tried to turn and throw his cards at the figure the figure grabbed his hand and his foot in his knee, but that’s not all.

A second figure from behind attacked his right leg and shoved his whole hand through it. This figure had black hair and wore a leather suit but this was different to alucards because it had a symbol of an eye, the same one in Matts eyes. As the dandy bleed he dropped his cards as alucard pushed his foot further into his foot dandy couldn’t help but scream out in pain. Alucards eyes were filled with madness as he spoke evilly to dandy man.

“I want to hear it pig!...so squeal!” as he pushed his arm back it started to expand into a body builders type arm. As he thrusted forward towards dandy man, dandy man tried one last attempt to stop alucards attack. As they both thrusted their arms forward like two missiles intercepting one another they knew only one will win. As they collided a huge burst of wind from the impact blew matt back with an object in his hand. As alucard split the card and in half he then moving on up to rip the whole of his arm. As blood spilled everywhere dandy screamed louder in pain. Alucards hand was ripped to shreds but he quickly regenerated it. The scream from dandy man was becoming too much for alucard and matt so alucard covered the Dandy man’s mouth and said coldly. “That’s checkmate Tubalcaine Alhambra.” He said as he held him high in the sky in the light of the blood red moon. As he grabbed his head and lowered him down he said to him. “Now its time we start dealing with the business at hand. I’m obliged to give you a thorough interrogation so you’re going to tell me everything you know…well your blood will.” He said as he bit into his neck to drain his blood. As blood splattered everywhere alucard could see a small man covered in darkness with a flag behind him, it was Hitler’s third Reich flag for his Nazi soilders. “So its war then is it?” Suddenly a voice alucard heard before spoke.

“Oh yes its war. A war without distraction or interruption.” And that’s all he said before Tubalcaine Alhambra went all inferno like Jan valentine did. As Alucard was trapped in the swirling flames Seras ran over to the burning flame she called out concerned for alucard.

“Master, Master!” as she looked into the burning blue flame and blood cross on the ground she couldn’t believe that her master and matt could cause so much destruction in one night and she couldn’t help but utter the words “Oh my god!” As matt got to his feet the uniform he was wearing disappeared…he was slowly turning back to normal. He wasn’t the only one alucards black leather suit started to disappear as well as he slowly regenerated from the holy blue flame as he stepped out of the flame Seras asked alucard “Master?” he then started to laugh madly as he clapped his hands slowly. Seras asked matt “What was that?” but before matt could answer a roar of helicopter blades came to the top of the building and inside was pip holding the pilot at gunpoint as the pilot held the copter steady pip called out to them.

“Mister Alucard, Mister Sonicble and Miss Victoria can I offer you a lift somewhere?” as alucard looked up into the setting blood moon he said to himself.

“We ruin the countries we govern and the people within our care, we slaughter our enemies and sacrifice all our allies, we’ll keep killing until there’s nothing left but to destroy ourselves. It will never be enough!”

“Wise words alucard, wise words!” said matt as he stood next to alucard. As they both looked up into the sky matt knew and only him on this mission knew that their next adventure would be beyond the limits of earth it self. Suddenly alucard said something to himself that even matt couldn’t hear.

“We are both encourageably warmongers aren’t we, Major?”

“Hurry up, come on people we need to get going now!” shouted pip.

“Alright! Since you’re so impatient take us to the airport. I need to meet someone there.” Said matt still in dark mode. Meanwhile in an unknown location matt and alucard was unawares that this whole thing was planned. In front of several monitors was a small man in a white suit as he looked at the burning corpse of the dandy man he laughed madly and said.

“Poor dandy man. He looks like a broken rag doll our opponents are quite impressive isn’t he? They’re stronger than any of us could possible imagine.” Next to him was a taller man in the white suit he bit his finger so hard that blood started to appear on his white gloves.

“I am… I am so sorry, major” he apologised while still biting his finger in disappointment. “I suppose this means that I have a lot more work to do.”

“Please! Don’t be ridiculous.” He said as he turned off the monitors “This is the dawn of our great success the things we’ve learnt today will serve us well against alucard and project M in the future, we’ve gained access to two of the most extraordinary beings, medians more than a person, a Vampire and a genetic project. I’ll tell you doctor fifty years of hard work are about to pay off. You will build monsters using the same D.N.A. as project M, and then turn them into soilders, organize them, train them, supply them, militarize them and command them. Ve are the last battalion, a new generation of shadow legions will be born across the stars. It is magnificent, my brilliant doctor.”

“Thank you, Major!” replied the tall man in the white suit.

“Good” replied the major. Suddenly the whole floor beneath them moved up to an upper level the major said to his fellow comrades “This most delightful show must now draw to an end. It’s time we headed back home for a bit don’t you think?” around him was a huge cockpit with technological advancements with the symbol of Hitler’s nazi flag in the center of the floor with a gold eagle above it. The giant airship was actually a giant zeppelin and looked prepared for war. “Captain! Lets bring her home and quickly. We’ve kept the gentlemen at the opera house waiting long enough. So please let us make haste I imagine with this time they are about ready to explode with anger.” In front of him on the symbol were three men wearing a grey uniform with gold trimmings around the sleeve but only one of them was wearing a captain’s hat.

“Understood, very serious business indeed. I’ll have her at full tilt all the way, Major!” as the captain ordered his men in German to increase the engines to full power. As the propellers started up they produced a small flame and a lot of smoke.

“Destination, Jablow, panzer schanze. Ve’re coming. And I don’t care how may hundreds or thousands or millions or billions of people try to stop.” As he paused for a moment he looked up and said evilly. “Yes anyone who stands in our way will be destroyed. Welcome to these crazy times.” He said as the blimp disappeared behind a cloud.

Pip: At last this crazy mission is over! Now we can go home.

Matt: Not yet, pip!

Pip: What? What do you mean not yet?

Matt: The only reason for me to be out here on this mission was to meet some old friends. Here they come now.

Pip: You’ve got to be kidding me; we’ve got to bring that thing back with us.

Matt: fraid so

Pip: Integra won’t like this.

Matt: Look the only way we’re going to get Zim out of hellsing is because these guys are going to help us.

NEXT TIME: REUNION AMOGNST THE GIFTED.

Matt: Man it sure been a long time since we last met hasn’t…Ben Tennyson!
