Life 16

After a bone cracking axe kick to the skull, the wolf reverted back to his natural form, groaning and weak, Vlad's golden eyes look up at Pearl. "Pearl?"

"Glad to have you back. Satan's not that far." She panted, extending a hand to pull the chocolate haired man up.

"Satan?" Vlad said looking behind them.

"Captain, you idiot." She laughed. "He's currently looking for a cure... To your new condition... Unless."

"No. I wanna be cured... I don't wanna go crazy every full moon and have you ax kick my head. It's throbbing." He said as he rubbed the top of his head. "Oh, I can feel a contusion."

"That's what you get for trying to bite my head off. You have your guns?" She said with a smile.

"No. Let's look for it. It can't be that far. And I can fight by punching you know. I'm just not that used to it."

"Good. Come on." She said, and they both run up the stairs. "Hurry up, tortoise!"

"I'm not exactly as strong as you are!" He said and punches a man in the face, and slamming his head on the wall. He looked and saw Pearl's lightning speed kicks at three men. And she backflips in the air and lands in a crouched position, throwing her head backwards to clear her face of her hair.

"Thank you so much. I'm loving the view." Pearl winked and Vlad raised his eyebrow before noticing that he was practically shirtless, and his pants are in tatters. "Nice triceps. For a marksman."

Vlad's pale cheeks went to a light shade of red due to embarrassment. He took a gun from the man he slammed on the wall. "11 bullets."

"Use them wisely." She said and skidded to a stop, as Vlad shoots all 11 bullets at 11 pirates, all in precise location at the middle of their brains.

"I'm a perfectionist, de Berry. I never miss." he said and blew his gun as all 11 fall dead.

"You could have warned me." She said, but she got distracted as the pale lean muscle walks past her.

"I would if I have radiation bullets." He tuck the gun behind his pants which gave Pearl a view of his back muscles, and it brought her swooning to the floor.

"Malevolent Detonation!" He said and sent a burning ball of exploding purple fire to the ground of pirates. "The vampire said this way... But... Where the heck is that laboratory!?" He glared, flapping his bat wings as he flew. "Dark Pistol!" he mimicked how his mother's Pistol kiss is executed and wiped out a number of pirates.

"This is so tiring..." He collapsed, and panted heavily, his wings disappearing as well as any other demonic features. He looked around him, surrounded by unconscious pile of smoking pirates.

"Kenbunshoku no Haki." He said, and looked for the lab using that particular type of Haki. He ran for that direction, slamming anyone who tries to stop him down with the Busoshoku no Haki's armament.

He wiped out the entire corridor, though in the end, he needed support in the walls. "This stinks." He said wrinkling his nose, the wall he touched was sticky with mold. "Ugh. I wonder if the Tenryuubito smells like this? Mom did say they rot like garbage."

He got inside the laboratory, where there are numerous vials with liquids of different colors. He took a silver one with the words, 'Lycan Antidote'

Vlad and Pearl came inside the lab. "Captain!" "Adonis!"

Adonis turned and grined widely. "AWESOME! You're not a rabid dog!" He laughed and took a vial from the cabinet. "This is it. Antidote."

"How can you be sure?"

"I just am. I can sense the contents of that. It has a demonic spell counter in it.:" He said, "Besides, you should gear up on silver bullets." Pearl added.

"We're a little short on that." Vlad drank undoubtedly. He trusted his captain's words... Sometimes. But he has seen the man. He knows how much he values friendship on the few days they have been together.

An open would the size of a wolf's mouth closed. He smiled. "See? Told ya." Adonis grinned. Pearl looked at the laboratory. "Guys, look. A book on werewolf weaknesses. And bullets. Why would they have things like this, when they have a werewolf?" She looked at Adonis who looked at her blankly, and then at Vlad who raised an eyebrow. She sighed. "They were keeping this in case the wolf gone berserk."

Vlad took the bullets and loaded it on his gun, and took a silver dagger from the drawer. "All geared up. Where's the vampire?"

"Used devil talk on her to sleep. I didn't know it works on monsters." Adonis said.

"Okay. Come on, we have a score to settle."

"I can make a shortcut." Pearl kicked the wall and it crumbled. "Come on!" She said and they ran over it, towards the corridors of unknown surprises.

RUNNING AWAY FROM THE LABORATORY, THE TRIO RUNS TOWARDS THE DARKNESS

A/N: Hello everyone! Thank you for reading! I love you guys! The reason behind the easy identification, was because Adonis is simple-minded, he saw Lycan Antidote labeled on a vial, he immediately knew that was it. But why would Dr. Wolfsbane make an antidote like that so obvious? Anyway, I'll reveal next chapter. Thanks to Wolvmbm, and Devlin Dracul for reviewing! As for the DevArt, i'm working on the pictures. :D See you next chapter. 3
