Chapter-001-The Execution

Chapter-001

Huff!  Huff!

*Sound of splashing water after being stepped on while running on an after rain roads*

A man in his forties can be seen running with a cane in one hand and a gun in another. He is wearing a worn and torn black suit, soiled with the mud he has been running through since last night. He possesses a number of scars all over his body, collected over years.

Jeremy-Damn these persistent brat. Won't leave my tail.

*Sudden sound of 3 consecutive gunshots *

Jeremy, limping while running, trying his best to outrun the three teens in black tuxedo running after him with guns. 

A black sedan car suddenly comes from the front, taking Jeremy by surprise. He barely avoids a direct hit and falls on the side of the pavement. The three following him though not having the luck on their side were hit. With a sigh of exhaustion Jeremy quickly gets up and starts running again. That night the whole city was in chaos. The police were rampaging and so were the gangsters. Sound of gunshots echoed through the streets. Siren blaring, shouts and screaming of people gave the background a terrifying glow. It was all because of one person, Jeremy, the godfather of the biggest gang. The Hellsing gang. It was his execution, by none other than his own gang.

After running a few steps Jeremy was confronted by five men. Two of them holding guns and the others knives. At once Jeremy raised his gun, so did they. The ones holding knives rushed towards him, giving out a loud scream. Jeremy avoided the knives, shot the first bullet to a knife holder then another. He hit the third to one of the gun holders, but as he was going to shoot the other one, the gun ran out of bullets.

Jeremy- What at a time like this?

*Bang!*

Jeremy-ughh!

A bullet hit Jeremy on the left side of his stomach. Stumbling a little he threw the empty gun on the floor and held the cane with both hands. He pulled out a hidden sword from the cane and with a single strike decapitated the teen. The last of the knife holders ran toward him pulling the knife with full force, but Jeremy striked the sword piercing his neck.

After resting for a moment Jeremy started running towards an alleyway. Hiding behind a garbage container, he tried to catch his breath. He sat on the wall as a support. He then took out a bracelet from his pocket. It was a silver bracelet with lion heads carved on two sides. Clasping it tightly Jeremy started to talk looking at the bracelet.

Jeremy- Looks like it is time Hannah, that we meet again.

* Sound of footsteps closing*

"He must be here! See! There is a blood trail here."

"In the alleyway! Get going!"

Jeremy- They are here.

*Smiles*

"He is here! I see him, behind the container!"

Three of them appeared in front of the alleyway pointing guns towards Jeremy, closing slowly.

Jeremy stayed still as if he had accepted his fate.

The three of them now stood in front of Jeremy, holding up their guns, ready to take the shot. A smile on the face of all four.

*Sound of thunder and lightning*

*Bang! Bang! Bang!*

The three of them fell on the ground, dead. Jeremy, still smiling, raised his head, looking towards the gun holder.

Jeremy-How did you find me, Hardy?

Hardy- you are like the epicentre of an earthquake, finding you is the easiest thing after rubble.

*Jeremy laughing*

Hardy came closer to Jeremy.

Hardy- you have created trouble for too many people. Even then you have lived long. I had never thought those brat, Jack and Harvy, you taught would be the one to bite you first.

Jeremy- That's how this underworld works my friend.

Hardy- you didn't let them off easily too,  Jerry. Giving Detective Kim all proof of their crime and getting those damn cops after them, forcing them to leave the country. You're as ruthless as ever. We might see their private jets anytime now. Well, Louis was caught and killed at the airport while disguised as their men.

*Loud sound of explosion*

Hardy- Fireworks? At this time of the year?

*Jeremy laughing like a madman*

Jeremy-(wiping tears while laughing) Looks like Louis did his job. That ain't firework friend. That's Jack and Harvy's private jet. That brat, Louis did his job, even at the cost of his life.

*boom! boom!*

*the sky shining with each explosion*

Jeremy- How many bullets are you left with?

Hardy-( after thinking for a moment) Maybe four or five. Why?

Jeremy-(smiling) Empty that on me, my friend. Do this last deed of mine.

Hardy-(shocked) Have you finally lost it, idiot? What rubbish are you saying?

Jeremy- I've lost too much in and because of this world. I want to rest. Please my friend, do as I say.(tears falling down from both their eyes)

Hardy lifted the gun with a trembling hand, pointing it at Jeremy.

Hardy-See you in the next world Jerry.

Jeremy-Sure!

*Bang! Bang!*

Jeremy-(ughh!)

Two bullets hit in the chest of Jeremy.

Then Hardy then turned the nozzle of the gun towards himself.

Jeremy-H..ey! Wh..at are y..ou d..oing you moron!?

*Bang! Bang!*

Hardy fell beside Jeremy, coughing up blood.

Hardy- Remember? We promised to rule this world together and die together, when we created the Hellsing gang.

Jeremy- You damn extremist!( coughing up blood)

(Hardy started to laugh, after sometime Jeremy too started to laugh)

Suddenly everything went quiet. The lightning, the explosions and the gunshots, all seemed to have ceased as everything went dark.

.

Then suddenly Jeremy opened his eyes. The scene was of a hospital. Jeremy was shocked at his position.

Jeremy-Did someone bring me here? What's going on? Can't they leave a guy to die in peace?

After looking around Jeremy saw out of the window.

Jeremy- Is it a bird? Nope. Wait what? It's a dragon! This ain't my world. What in the hell happened??
