Detective Dickson 3 : Identify Crisis

More steps in

Two werewolves stood side by side on the sandy ground, lots of dead bodies of different demons surrounded them such baphoemeris(they had goat heads with human bodies, they had really large horns and a shaggy line of hair on their chests), Arakanis(ten foot brown spiders with black scorpion tails) and skeletal creatures in the shape of men. There were still more demons coming after them, they all had murder intent. Ron and Reg faces wore fatigue as they look forward to face the incoming wave.

It had all shortly began after they had seen Larias resurrect and gone with his subordinates, when they thought they had gone. Ron and Reg had tried to summon a portal so as to exit the abyss but they were ignorant of the spell, summoning a portal from the abyss to the physical world wasn't a known spell to all.

Unfortunately for the duo, Azexela never killed Leo, she only did that because she felt it was odd that d**k wasn't with them, she thought he must have been hiding around, she didn't turn Leo to dust, rather, she made him invisible in order to check if d**k was around.

Leo had gone about, he didn't find d**k but he saw the two lycanthropes, Leo had then summoned portals around the area making way for demons to come in and fist on their flesh.

"Ron, behind you" Reg screamed at his counterpart, Ron smiles as he bends down, a skeletal creature jumped over him, Ron grabbed him by the torso and smashed him on the ground.

Leo who was about twenty miles away watched all that was happening and laughed, he was clearly enjoying this.

"You know bullying isn't right" came a voice behind Leo, Leo was shocked, what could be talking to him, he looked in the distance and sure enough Ron and Reg were still fighting for their lives, it was clear the two lycanthropes had no idea what was causing the continuous spawn of demons and they definitely had no break in order to stop, think and figure it out.

Leo turns behind him, Alucard and Alma stood behind him, they were both dressed in black leather. Alucard smiled at him showing his two long fang teeth, Before Leo could do anything, Alucard lunges for his neck, he gobbles his fang teeth on his neck sucking the demon dry. When he was satisfied, Alucard let's go of the demon, it collapses shortly afterward.

"Your idea of a place for relaxation is sure very strange" Alma says to him, there was sarcasm in her voice.

"I am sorry about this, Mari told me this portal would surely take us to one of the most ideal places in the universe" Alucard grins at his wife, he looks around, they were in the abyss, the entire area was dark except for a few red clouds, if it were not for their improved senses, they would have been unable to see.

A portal rips open in the air, out comes Mari and Kari, they were smiling devilishly, Mari was dressed in a black top which reaches only to the end of her chest with black leggings, Kari too wore the same thing except hers was brown.

"You know there's a reason why doom and relaxation are spelt differently" Alucard says sternly in their direction.

Kari and Mari ignore his question, they look around them, apparently, it was their first time in the abyss.

"Have you seen them, I casted the exact same spell Redoulp casted" Kari says aloud, she was quickly learning spells, in the lycanpride clan, she had the best memory of all the wolves.

"Who?" Alucard asks, surprise coming on his face.

"Don't worry, spotted our two boys" Mari smiles as she nudges Kari friendly on her lower belly.

Ron and Reg were faraway from them, they were obviously in a fight that could claim their lives as they had been battling for almost twenty four hours nonstop with strong demons.

"Shouldn't we help them" Alma says with a tense look as she spots the two vampires in the distance.

"Well, if we want, we can start by figuring a way to close the portals that surround them" Mari smiles without turning to her direction.

"What portals?" Alucard asks.

"Ooh, you can't see it, it's magically haxed to be invisible" Kari smiles, she puts her hands above her head

"ESTEN ELO QUI RAI FAI GAIDA."

Alucard notices something was different about his eyes, he looks at his wife, he sees a white substance within her, he looks to the other two ladies surrounding him, it was also present in them as well, he looks further, there were about six portals surrounding the two lycanthropes.

His wife Alma apparently noticed the same thing as her face now wore a different expression.

"This is obviously some high level spell" Alucard says aloud.

"You think, I have read a few of Redoulp's books, I know spells that can shut this down but I doubt Mari and I soul energy is sufficient to do that, we might need help both for our boys before they faint and also for us, the casters" Kari smiles at Alucard.

"I am not a spell caster but my wife is" Alucard says scratching the back of his head.

"We have seen her soul energy, it's still not sufficient enough, we need someone like Shylock" Mari smiles, she was now facing Alucard.

Alucard's face was flustered, how dare they say his wife's soul energy wasn't enough, he was about to say something when he feels a hand on his right shoulder, he turns around, it was his wife.

"Okay, how about we use a scrying ball to first check if he is busy or not, being the only vampire elite, he tends to have lots of duties" Alma says sweetly.

"Okay then, since you are now the queen of the clan, we leave that to you" Kari says.

Alma smiles at the both of them, she was a calm woman who didn't result to violence because she felt it was unnecessary, she was going to cast this spell and check on Shylock.

"SHREDN DIESLORIU MAGIAL DGMOEO" Alma begins, soon a dark shadow form, it was in the shape of a circle.

"I thought scrying balls was supposed to show us the target, ain't elves supposed to the best at magic, what's wrong, sleeping with a vampire made you lose your touch" Kari sneered, Mari joins her in a fit of laughter.

Alma just smiled at them, she couldn't get annoyed, Alucard was getting flustered, these two female lycanthropes were really impudent.

"There's a dark aura around here which is blocking the visibility of the spell but not the sound, we should be able to hear him and from what he says, we will know if he's busy or not" Alma says in a calm tone.

"Ooh, Shy-shy, take it easy" came a voice, and that voice sounded awfully familiar, it was his daughter 'Anna'

"Owww, don't take it too deep like that, you might injure me" came Anna's voice again.

Alucard was getting exasperated, he couldn't believe Shylock could do this to his daughter, was he begging for a death wish, Alma's face was shocked, same went for the two lycanthropes, none of them expected this.

"I am sorry, I am in a hurry, you know your Father doesn't want me to come into your Chambers" came Shylock's voice.

"Don't be such a worry baby, he went out, won't be back for a long time" Anna replies. Alucard couldn't take this anymore.

His hand was now enveloped with white energy.

"Wha....what are you doing" Alma asks.

"Strengthening your energy so we can overcome this aura" Alucard replies, he touches Alma and immediately, the black dark that was once the circular shadow in the atmosphere was gone, it was now replaced with Anna sitting on a chair, Shylock was bending down trying to help her wear her shoe.

"Ooh" Alucard thinks as he puts a hand on his chest, it was certainly not what he thought was happening that was happening, he looked over at Kari and Mari, they wore disappointed looks on their faces too. They were thinking something else was going down.

"He doesn't look too busy, I shall summon him now" Alma smiles in Alucard's direction.

Shylock was tired, he had been changed with a few duties yet the princess wanted him to try lots of glass shoes on for her, it was for a part in one of Daniel's movies, the title was the life of Cinderella. In the intra-dimension, not only was Daniel a model, he was also a film producer, he had produced and marketed various movies in which the local monsters in the world took part in and patronized too. He had definitely made the intra-dimension more fun and lively since he arrived.

Shylock heard a beep in his right ear, only two people communicated to him like that, the king or queen(Alucard or Alma).

"What's wrong, have I been discovered, I didn't want to come to the princess Chambers."

"Your majesty" Shylock says aloud, he raises the pink finger of his left arm motioning for Anna to be quiet.

"We are presently in the abyss" Alma's voice began.

"The dark layer of the sixth district, we need you to come her now, your services are required."

Shylock heaves a sigh of relief, he was afraid he had been discovered.

"I will be right there, your highness."

"Good" the voice says as the beeping sound in his ear goes silent.

"Who was that" Anna asks Shylock.

"It was your Mom, she's in the abyss, I have to get there now" Shylock says as he gets up on her feet.

"Lemme go with you" Anna asks with a somber expression.

"I can't, you know how your parents feel about you getting involved in combat, if I brought you along, your dad will murder me" Shylock replies, his face a mask of fear.

"Don't worry, my parents are very gullible, I will just give them one of those lame excuses I always say, they always believe" Anna laughs.

"I still can't guarantee that will work this time."

"Don't be such a grump, remember when I slayed that five headed lernean Hydra, father asked me how and I said it fell from the skies during a rain pour" Anna laughs lightly.

"Yeah, your father can be a dimwit at times" Shylock says as he joins her in laughing.

Alucard who was still watching everything kept getting more annoyed, he was going to kill Shylock with his own bare hands.

"Okay then, you win, just come up with a good excuse to convince his highness" Shylock says smiling at her.

"It is settled" Anna replies returning his smile.

Shylock turned his back, he mutters some spells, soon a swirling light manifests, a white portal then forms.

"Let's get going, princess" Shylock says as he extends his right arm, Anna blushes as she takes hold of it, they both jump into the portal. Soon they arrive in the abyss, Shylock was dressed in black leather while Anna was dressed in green leather(a typical warrior clothing for the elven race).

Eyes were staring at them when they had arrive at their exact location, Alucard had a look of murder in his eyes, Shylock felt very uncomfortable, his eyes shifted to the scrying ball above, he sees the princess and he, he then understands what has been going on. Immediately, he prostrates on the ground.

"Your majesty, I didn't want to enter your daughters Chambers, she told me she needed to try on a show for the Cinderella movie, she has been a star actress for many of the movies that have been released."

Alucard's mouth drops open, he had told his daughter not to have any business with Daniel as he still didn't trust him, to think she was now even working for him. He was about to let out his anger till he feels the gentle touch of his wife on his left shoulder.

"Darling, this isn't the time for you to get exasperated, there would be lot of time for that later" Alma begins, she then turns to Ron and Reg who in the distance had their fur soaked in blood.

"We need to assist those two, Shylock, the two female lycanthropes and I would change spells that will seal of the portal, you assist those two."

"How about me, I want to help" Anna says to her mom.

"Sweetie, we can't..." Alma starts.

"No, I have been fighting alongside Shylock on many of the quests you have sent him, even rescued his ass from that dragon capture quest" Anna says grimly as she interrupts her mom, Alucard throws a death stare at Shylock, Shylock was sweating excessively now, it didn't take an expert to know he was in a lot of trouble.

"When the minotaurs rebelled, I also stopped them, I have elven and vampiric blood in me, I am stronger than anyone here, I shouldn't be treated like a child" Anna says tears welling up in her eyes, she steps forward to her parents position.

"So give me this chance to fight, that I might prove to you that I am just as talented as you both are on the battlefield if not more"

She motions over to the demons who were still attacking the two werewolves.

"By smoking all of them, Dad, I challenge you, let's see who has more kills, if I get more, I join the soldiers of the kingdom, if I lose, I promise never to disobey you again"

Turning her attention back to her father

"Do we have a deal."

Alucard smiles brightly at his daughter, he was overjoyed, his daughter sure showed the spirit of a vampire and that of an elf, he was proud of her and he didn't need her to prove his worth to him, he already had faith in her, after all, she was his daughter, if she had truly saved Shylock before, her strength was truly on her another level.

Alucard hugs her tightly.

"You are my daughter, you are to be better than me, I have no doubt in your skills rather I am sure impressive is the least word to qualify them, let's have fun with this target, I am only disappointed about one thing, not telling me your resolve earlier."

Anna's heart leaped for joy, she had only had dreams where her father accepted her as a warrior but he certainly did now, she was going to show him just what she had learnt the little time she and Shylock had fought side by side severally.

"This is a really touching family moment but can we get on with this, Ron and Reg are going to die soon, we have to go help them now" Kari says with a blank facial expression.

"Way ahead of you" Anna smiles as she dashes towards the spawn of demons, Alucard smiles as he dashes side but side with his daughter.

Together, they were going to prevail.
