As One
Part 2: Shinu De Nuevo
Arc 7: Changed World.
(The next day at 9:00 in the morning)
(Kane, Able and Mia walk inside Amelia's penthouse. Louis, Peter, Gabriela and Kenji are all standing next to each other in silence. Amelia is standing next to the table also in silence. Carter is leaning against the window with his arms crossed and Dracula is sitting down on a chair, his arm resting on the table)
Kane: Well Mia, meet the team. Louis Martin, Peter Trustein and Gabriela Haves...
Mia: I am well aware of who they are, rising Reaper legends. One of the strongest recent Reaper classes, unfortunately 25% of the class were slaughtered during the attack on Karitori Chiku. Caused by the Deadly Sin of Sloth, Angelo Regio in an attempt to find Gluttony, unfortunate for him it was the wrong host he sought... but there was a Deadly Sin in the class though.
Kane: Right... (Thinking to himself) How the hell does she know all this? (Talking) Amelia Toma-...
Mia: Amelia Tomagiri, sister of Sam Reyes. When Sam witnessed his father be murdered in front of his eyes and he killed the Vampire out of sheer Wrath. His mother went insane... at that time she was pregnant with Amelia. She fled to America, when Amelia was born her mother died shortly afterwards, but left her with one final gift a kitten. Amelia was taken in by an assassin clan and raised to fight from the very beginning, she's a Shinobi you might even say.
Amelia: Alright... lady you're gonna explai-...
Mia: (Her eyes dart to Carter) Carter Cecil Vekter. A normal that was until Dracula's right hand man, Oroc killed his brother and father. He was turned into a host for an Omukade a centipede that makes the host theoretically immortal when it attaches to the spinal cord. However Carter learned to live with it and even granted the Omukade a pet-name "Senti." He works as a part time novelist, often writing stories of Knights and Heroes.
Carter: How do you-...
Mia: (She looks at Dracula sitting on the chair) Count Viktor Dracula. Everyone knows who Dracula is, so I'm not gonna bother going deep into you. However, recently you have taken over the body of the Reyes Hunter, a being made from the combination of Sam Reyes and Dracula's DNA. He has few regrets, but one haunts him. The fact that he caused the death of his own brother Alucard. Despite the fact that, that was what Alucard sought above all... (In an almost mocking tone) And just like the Hercules-Corona Borealis Great Wall, they take up all the space and leaves none for the rest...
Dracula: (He seems unaffected by Mia's insult. Instead he seems to be thinking about something) That tone, voice, height even... if I can just get a small droplet of her blood, I can prove my theory right.
Mia: Kenji "Nissan" Ford... the new Rogue Reaper. A hothead and a... I believe the word for it is "SIMP" for none other than Lady Fate, his mortal enemy and an "acquaintance" of mine. His mission is simple, to kill Samuel Roy Kuragari. Yet what more secrets do you hide? Any hidden anger at all? Is there a reason you choose not to wear shoes? Them being uncomfortable for your feet can't be enough of an excuse. You won't live up to the Rogue Reaper name like Sam did...
Kenji: (Thinking) Who does this bitch think she is?
Mia: (She turns her head to the door) Levente Flores or... Levi. (Levi, Annah and Elizabeth stand at the door) Wearing... (She has a bit of laugh in her voice) holy shit! Levi's branded shoes! You narcissist!
Kane: Annah! Elizabeth!
Able: Aaaand... the asshole who took my arm!
Annah: (She runs in and hugs Kane, her eyes filled with tears) Kane...
Kane: What happened Annah, your eyes...
Levi: In a desperate attempt to save her life, Kuragari turned her into a Vampire. He kepts Annah and Elizabeth there, until he had a mental breakdown. He used an elixir to turn my sister into one of his puppets. He nearly killed me, until a guy with the name Miyamoto Musashi stepped in and fought him.
Able: Miyamoto? Why was he there?
Levi: I have no idea. And I am sorry about your arm, I was acting out of blind... reason. I wanted to protect the only thing I had left, but now Kuragari took that too... I want to help you all. If you don't want me near you, I completely understand.
Kane: We need all the help we can get... Able...?
Able: (He looks at his lost arm and back at Levi) Fine... he can join us... (He reaches out for a handshake and Levi shakes Able's hand) But... I will keep an eye on you.
Levi: I... understand.
Kane: We still have one problem though... we don't know just what Kuragari's plan is.
Levi: He's going to France. Specifically to the Catacomb of Paris.
Able: To find what?
Levi: He told me, "He will appoint for himself commanders of thousands and of fifties, and some to do his plowing and to reap his harvest and to make his weapons of war and equipment for his chariots."
Kenji: 1 Samuel 8:12.
Able: Well what's in the catacombs?
Dracula: An ancient civilization of Demons, Monster and all sorts of creatures that live in harmony. Undisturbed by humans, they struck a deal with Reapers. None may kill or harm any of the Monsters down there. I always called it the "lumea Interlopă" or the Underworld. It also has the gateway to Hell and the path that leads to the armory. That holds the Leviathan Killer, a weapon strong enough to kill Death himself.
Mia: That and Angelus Interfectorem, the Angel Killer. Forged by Lucifer to kill his brothers, the weapon is strong enough to wipe an Archangel of the face of the Universe.
Able: But why would he need any of those two? He doesn't need them, plus he's already got an Over Powered Scythe...
Kane: Whatever the reason may be, we need to move, hopefully we can beat him there.
(Kane stands at the front of the group facing forwards with his arms crossed, Able stands next to his left and Levi to his right, Dracula has his head turned forwards with his arm resting on the back rest, Louis, Peter, Gabriela and Kenji step forward standing next to Carter, Amelia stands to the back with her head hanging down)
Kane: Let's go get this son of a bitch.
