The Veiled Secret of Remnant

"What happened? Why do I feel so sluggish? Last thing I remember was crashing my sweet jet into that god damned boat….oh, so that's what happened. That doesn't explain why I feel this way though because the last time I felt this way was right before Integra…..SHIT! NOT AGAIN!" These were the thoughts of one Alucard no-last-name as he semi-awakened and found himself sealed in a dank dark cave oddly similar to the basement of Hellsing Manor before he bonded to Integra. He remembered it all like it was yesterday: the dank smell, the darkness of the room, the immobility of his limbs, the chattering of two young girls….wait, what?

"I'm telling you, it's way too quiet for a forest infested with monsters" came the cool voice of one of them though it was slightly muffled and sounded like it came from above him.

"And I'm telling you, you worry too much. We'll be at the ruins soon so just enjoy the easy road we found" now that was from the other one that sounded like she was full of energy and life. Something didn't sit right with him though, he was wondering what these ruins were that they were talking about. He was hopeful that they weren't talking about the manor because that meant he had failed in protecting his master. As they kept talking and getting closer he was wondering what that smell was, it smelled like dogs but slightly different…darker. His thoughts were suddenly and violently interrupted by the energetic one screaming as she fell through the ceiling of his prison and landing facing away from him. As if by magic dozens of red lights seemingly turned on of their own volition and a growling ensued.

'whelp, at least I now know what that smell was coming from' Alucard thought with amusement. The girl was slightly dazed from the impact and sudden drop so she wasn't able to react fast enough when one of the black werewolf like creatures attacked and backhanded her beside Alucard and drawing blood, blood that landed across Alucard's face.

Yang and Blake were walking through the Emerald Forest at a leisurely pace seeing as they had yet to encounter a grimm since they had partnered up and both were getting a little trigger itchy. "I seriously think there is something wrong with all of this Yang" Blake said, casting her eyes at every shadow that seemed to move.

"aren't you glad we haven't come across anything wanting to kill and eat us? I for one am glad we got the easy road" Yang replied with a wide grin on her face. Though in truth she was itching for something, anything, to jump out and attack them just to alleviate the supreme boredom she was feeling in spades.

"I'm telling you, it's way too quiet for a forest infested with monsters" Blake said hearing a slight cracking and, fearing it was a grim, readied herself to grab her weapon.

"And I'm telling you, you worry too much. We'll be at the ruins soon so just enjoy the easy road we found" and as if the universe was answering her, the cracking that blake had heard earlier had made itself known to both girls and the ground beneath them both opened up and tried to swallow both of them. 'Tried' being the operative word as Blake was able to jump out of the way fast enough but Yang was caught off guard and fell into the gaping hole that seemed totally devoid of light though it was midday and the sun was right over them. When Blake heard Yang hit the bottom relatively quickly she knew it was a shallow pit but then she saw the eyes of the beowolves and prepared to jump down to help Yang a little too slowly as a beowolf backhanded Yang drawing first blood. Blake was seconds from jumping in until she heard a noise that shouldn't have been heard in this situation…slurping.

Alucard's tongue darted out to taste the blood that landed on his face and immediately knew he wanted more, seeing some on the amazingly clean and smooth stone floor he did what his instincts told him to do 'drink'. He began to lap up the remaining blood until he had enough to replenish his body, and that's exactly what happened. With a blast of power that was heavily laced with killing intent Alucard was returned to his red robed, red hatted, giant pistol wielding self…and he had the perfect vict—targets to re-train his hand to eye to gun coordination. But first he looked down to the blonde who had unknowingly bonded herself to him; she was beautiful for her age of which he guessed her to be at least seventeen and maybe nineteen. Kneeling before the girl he speaks to her with his usual grin "because of you I have traded one prison for another and for that I thank you…my master. You are hurt and these foul beasts have spilled your blood, say the word and they will be no more"

Yang, too stunned simply nods and watches as this man who was recently little more than a dried corpse with worn red rags for clothing stands up, turns and produces two massive silver and black pistols. "This is going to be FUN!" Alucard exclaims as he opens fire into the werewolf like beasts with gusto. After a few short minutes and many abnormally large pistol shell casings littered the floor the beasts were dead and nothing more than a blood pulpy mess on the other side of the room. From behind himself Alucard hears someone drop down from above and turns around to see another young woman standing between him and his new master pointing a strange kind of pistol at him."Who are you" was her question that sounded more like an order from Integra.

"I am the true prince of darkness, a living weapon to be used by my master against whatever she wishes. I am her supreme protector and bodyguard. I am Alucard, the last of my kind I suspect." Alucard replies with his usual toothy grin and an eccentric bow.

"Who is your master then?" Blake replies without lowering Gambol Shroud. Alucard's grin never fades or losses it's intensity as he speaks "why...the blond behind you…" Blake finally lowers her weapon and looks to Yang who is looking at Alucard in confusion.

"but I never asked to be your master, how am I your master when I don't even know you?" Yang asks, confusion written plainly on her face.

"simple, all I needed was a drop of blood to seal the deal and break my bonds and get to know the basics about you…Yang Xiao Long" before anything else could be said they all heard screaming that sounded familiar to Yang and after thinking for a bit she recognizes it "RUBY!" and she takes off toward the ruins with Alucard and Blake close behind. "This is getting interesting. I wonder who this ruby is and why she is so important to Yang…Yang is proving to be a most interesting master, definitely more fun than Integra" with these thoughts in mind Alucard has made up his mind; he will protect this new master and enjoy the laughs he will get from this whole thing. Watch out remnant, the no-life-king has arrived.
