Detective Dickson 5 : Existential Pandemic

Shylock's might

"We don't have much time, I have communicated with the others regarding the situation, we need to move as soon as possible" Lefinna says aloud, they were still in Ron's room with just the men present, Redoulp had been gone for quite a while.

"So you have to go now" Tommy asks.

"Yes, darling" Lefinna says turning towards him

"Sarah and I need to attend to d**k, I have an idea on how to recuperate him."

"That's reassuring" Reg has a sarcastic tone

"But what are we going to do about Ron, he's still missing, and now, we hear Shylock has gone bad, not neglecting Redoulp who could be in trouble."

"That's why I spoke with the other ladies, there will be proper reinforcements, Redoulp made a wise move, he activated a psychic signal once he confirmed Shylock's agenda but we need to consider it in the worst possible case scenario" Lefinna begins still with a straight face, she was really one tough lady as she didn't falter.

"Which is?" Daniel asks.

"It's possible these angel has a means for compulsion, we all know vampires are immune to manipulative telepathy, Shylock was charmed because it wasn't just magic involved, reality altering was, his mind, perception and everything was changed so much that he could do nothing but be Daniel's lap dog..." As Lefinna gets to this part, Daniel puts a sly smile on his face

"... it's safe to assume the angel has this type of frightening ability, one that allows her to compel every being of the lower realm, if we consider that as possible, then we can deduce that Ron too has gone bad and if we don't hurry up, Redoulp too will join them."

"That sounds urgent" Alucard began as he gazes upon the bed before turning his attention back at Lefinna

"So what do we do?"

"Now, you are talking, Alucard, Daniel and Reg, get to the spar room, Mari and Kari are also on their way there, you will find Shylock there" Lefinna begins.

"How about me?" Tommy asks.

"Being the type of person she is, she will come find us" Lefinna grins, almost as if on cue, a beam of orange color shoots towards Tommy, the beam hits Tommy square in the head but both the body and beam disperses, as that happens everyone who was present there except Lefinna disappears, Lefinna looks towards the direction of the person who shot the beam, it was the angel, still in the red dress, she had a blank expression.

"I knew you'd come, made some preparations, everyone has already left, your ability called disability isn't entirely invincible, it can't cancel out manifestations of previously used abilities and seeing that you came here on a whim, you are the same as all of us, you use energy signature and soul awareness to track, I considered that seeing you couldn't track Dickson before until he let his guard down once" Lefinna says without altering her facial expression.

"You are sure very cocky, you inferior natch so much that you are not worried of losing consciousness again" she smiles at her.

"The last time, I forgot to sync my nanites with the energy of the creator present in me, during my years with Excalibur, I usurped some of it's energy though the value in relation to the entirety is way below infinitesimal but you are inferior to the creator meaning that since I have his energy, even your attacks are practically useless against me" Lefinna smiles.

The Angel's face wore an annoyed look, she was clearly angry

"It doesn't matter, you impertinent mortal, you are no match for my supreme power."

Lefinna smiles as she stretches forth her right arm, a silver sword materializes in her palms

"Prepare to be amazed."

Redoulp wakes up, he still felt tired, he looked around, he was bound with chains(the nexrian kind which was supposedly the known best in the multiverse as it gets tighter the more the bounded struggle and it also blocks all the wearer's abilities except the one to breathe and move), he was floating upside down in the air, he could feel blood rushing to his head, looking ahead, he could see Shylock approaching him, Shylock was sharpening his scimitar, it was shocking as when Shylock returned back from the universe where he was electrocuted, all his clothes had instantly melted off but right now, he was dressed in his usual tight black leather.

"You foolish child, let me down this instant" Redoulp says aloud.

"If I did that, then there wouldn't be any point of capturing you" Shylock says with an unimpressed facade as he turns in his direction, he gripped his knife as if with the intention to kill.

"You know, when I lost, I did feel really bad" Shylock says approaching Redoulp

"But I think when I cut your tongue off, I am gonna feel a lot better" he ends as he approaches the bound dwarf.

"Now be a good guardian and open that mouth for me" Shylock says forcing the knife deep in Redoulp's throat.

"You might wanna stop that, it looks gay and kinky" Daniel says with a horrified look. Shylock turns towards the direction of the voice, Mari, Kari and Alucard surrounded him.

"Where's Ron?" Kari shouts aloud as she dashes towards Shylock but Shylock steps away in time, Kari was breathing furiously, her face wore looks that could kill.

"Do you need a bone, dog" Shylock laughs cruelly at her.

"Don't fang with me" Kari says pointing aggressively at him

"I won't hesitate to slice your pathetic balls of your miserable body."

"That's my line" Shylock mocks.

"She doesn't have balls" Daniel has a weird look on his face.

"Enough with this foolishness" Alucard says aloud, his voice was so commanding that it causes everyone to look into his direction at once.

"Shylock, where's Ron?" Alucard asks with a commanding tone.

"In my udders, feel welcome to check him there" Shylock grins.

"That's disgusting" Daniel says with a creped out looks.

"That will be his state when I am done with him" Kari shouts aloud again as she leaps towards Shylock, slashing her right arm furiously but Shylock dodges all her attacks easily, before anyone knew what was happening, Shylock turns the tide of the battle as he begins to hit the female without pity or regard.

"We have to help her" Mari shouts aloud as she reverts to werewolf state, as soon as she does, she leaps above the ground towards Shylock but Shylock rolls out of harm's way, a ray of energy shoots towards him but Shylock dodged it even though it was just barely, Shylock looked at the direction, it was Daniel.

Alucard, Daniel, Mari, Kari and Reg had now cornered Shylock.

"We have you now, there's no way to run" Daniel says.

"Where did you keep Ron, tell me before I gouge your eyes out of your skull" Reg shouts, fuming aggressively.

"The space is too confined, I really don't like this, well, guess I have to use the device the angel gave me" Shylock smiles as he produces a medium sized whitish flat conical object which resembled a Frisbee.

"What's that? Answer me now" Alucard shouts aloud.

"How about I do you one better, lemme show you" Shylock grins as he pushes the button located at the middle instantly transporting them to a distant hyperverse, the scenery of the entire location was lemon, there are appeared to be petals of the rose, hibiscus and sunflower hanging about in the atmosphere but yet it stretched on so wide that some could think it was endless.

"Man, I always suspected you were gay, I just never came to the realization that it could be true" Daniel says looking at his surroundings, he wore a disgusted look, the place gave off a lovely fragrance which was so unique as it even affected emotional states as Kari was no longer making an angry face, rather she had calmed down, everyone else had surprised but calm facial expressions.

"Where are we?" Mari asks inspecting the surroundings, there appeared to be ground but there were distant planets and shiny bodies in the distance.

"The Krehiolian hyperverse, the infinite multiverse doesn't just contain only universes, xenoverses also exist and this space we now reside in contains seven quindecillion xenoverses each with a weird diameter of about five nonillion light years" Shylock begins with a creepy smile.

"So much big words, my head is really hurting" Daniel says holding his bald head.

"Why are you telling us?" Reg asks.

"That's right, we don't remember asking for the length and size of anything except how you'd like to be dismantled" Mari says in support.

"Dealing with you all is a piece of cake but Master Alucard is sure not going to make this easy, I have to keep him preoccupied" Shylock grins.

"What do you mean?" Kari asks, each of them were standing miles away from him.

"There are living creatures in this space, how about I send a destruction beam to a xenoverse, only Alucard can keep with his speed but it's fine if he won't go after it, I mean if he feels it's so important to capture me rather than save the lives of roughly about one vigintillion life forms" Shylock smirks.

"You bluff?" Kari shouts.

"Really" Shylock asks with a mysterious look as he shoots towards his right, a red beam comes out towards the far side of his right, Alucard being the only one with eyes enough to capture it's moment neglecting Shylock of course dashes as fast as he could to the xenoverse.

"Big mistake, kid, now I can beat the living daylights out of you" Kari says as she leaps towards him, transforming to her lycanthrope state midair, Reg and Mari follow suit while Daniel stayed behind.

"You sure have a knack for stealing my lines" Shylock grins as he leaps towards them.

"ARRRRRRGHHH" Kari screams as she hits Shylock but Shylock puts his two arms together blocking the attack, the collision causes destruction of millions of xenoverses.

"Ooh no, I have killed many" Kari says scared reverting back to human form.

"I can sense the soulic energy of the life forms that were once present in this space, Alucard is really managing to save them all but how and where is he taking them" Shylock says then he looks at where Daniel was previously and noticed he was missing.

"So that is what happening, Daniel must chanted the spell to give him the speed of Alucard, he's also saving the life forms alongside him, possibly placing them in the pocket dimensions Emily previously built, these guys are the real deal" Shylock thinks.

"If that's the case" Mari says as she now reappears at Kari's left side while Reg reappears at her right

"Then we can injure you as we please" Reg ends as the trio scatter in different directions, they were in their werewolf forms.

"What's with you all and stealing my lines" Shylock has an unimpressed look on his face as his scimitar materializes in his right arm, Anna had taught him that spell back when they were still dating, he could summon his weapons.

Reg runs towards him from the right, Kari from the left while Mari came from above.

"This is boring" Shylock grunts as she dashes towards Reg, Reg bares his arms at him exposing his sharp claws to his flesh but Shylock easily evades as he slashes his body with his weapon, blood flows out freely from his body but Reg wasn't done yet, moving as fast as he could, he swings his arms as fast as he could with hope of tearing the vampire limb to limb but the vampire was simply too fast for him to keep up with but Reg was experienced, he was used to fighting way stronger foes, Reg moves his upper body as if to leap for his right, this causes Shylock to turn to the left but Reg expecting that uses his lower body as an anchor causing him to move in time and hitting Shylock away flying billions of light years backwards but Reg wasn't satisfied, he runs and catches up with Shylock in mere zeptoseconds, holding his two arms up, he screams as loud as he could, the frequency of the sound he was generation was so high and catastrophic that it destroyed countless xenoverses in the process also shattering Shylock's bones.

"Hey, leave some for me" Mari shouts aloud, Reg smiles at her as he tosses Shylock's body over to her, Mari digs her claw deep in his skull as he approaches her, she dashes towards the planets, sensing no soulic energy from them, she crushes the vampire's body against the floating asteroids, the shockwaves destroying millions more xenoverses, she lifts him as she dashes towards the broken standing stars using him to hit them furiously snapping and destroying every bone in his body, she sets him on an asteroid, clawing and repeatedly jumping on him, she could hear his back snap as he cries out in pain but she wasn't through yet, she rips his arms off causing blood to flow freely before throwing him over to Kari, Kari jumped as she saw the incoming body, targeting his delicates, she bites off his balls as he lands.

"ARRRRRRGHHH" Shylock winces in pain but Kari paid him no heed, she runs towards aggressively clawing into very bone and tissue in his body causing his skin to shred away and his bone to shatter, when she was satisfied, she released an immense amount of energy towards him which was so great to the extent that it destroyed every planetary body, star, asteroid, nebula and other firmaments which existed so much that it was only the bare space which comprised of dark matter that remained in the hyperverse.

"That felt good" Kari smiles as she returned back to her human form.

"I agree, never went all out before" Reg grins.

"I am sure he will be willing to talk now" Mari smiles as she approaches the ashes which now remained his body.

"That's if there's any part of him left to" Kari jeers, the others laugh in unison constantly making jokes but the ashes that were his body begin to form and multiply before forming back into Shylock again.

"Guess I underestimated you guys" Shylock began, the trio look over at him, they couldn't hide the amazement from their faces as he looked unscathed, even his clothes were back on.

"I really need to stop that habit" Shylock smiles as he now looks at them, time to get serious, he says as he dashes towards them and reappears at their back, Kari and Reg instantly drops to the floor, they had cuts on their abdominal parts but blood didn't flow and the site of injury had a blue colouration.

"What did you do to them?" Mari asks stepping backward.

"It's a little potion which I invented myself, I added it to the edge of my blade, wanted badly to test if on Redoulp earlier, the angel tasked me with doing it, something that was capable of killing even an Alpha-human but seeing that your comrades tanked it and are still alive, it needs work" Shylock breathes hard.

"You monster" Mari dashes towards him swinging her right arm but Shylock dodges easily as he places the index finger of his right arm on her forehead.

"Destruction beam" he says aloud, it hits his square in the forehead destroying even the space(dark matter) behind her, she drops down unconscious.

"Leave her alone" Kari says desperately struggling to get to her feet.

"You know earlier on, you displayed an attack that destroyed every firmament in the hyperverse but the dark matter still remains" Shylock begins

"Let me give you a demonstration of true destruction."

A ball of glowing green energy forms on Shylock's arm, he launches it towards Kari, Kari's face was full of fear as she saw it coming, the blast was so great that it destroyed everything that was left of the hyperverse including the dark matter, they reappeared back in the training room, Reg, Mari and Kari all laid on the ground, their clothes destroyed and most part of them too such as their skin and most of their bones, fully unconscious that they could be mistaken for lifeless.

"That was fun" Shylock grins, he turns towards where he bound Redoulp but he was no longer there.

"It's time I finish this" came a familiar voice behind him, Shylock turns around, it was Alucard, he was visibly annoyed as he breathed heavily.

Shylock forms another ball of glowing green energy and launches it towards him but Alucard just blows it away as it approaches, Shylock tried to run but Alucard appeared directly in front of him, before Shylock could do anything, he drops to the ground, his body appeared lifeless.

"What happened?" Daniel asks, he just reappeared in the room.

"I usurped his essence" Alucard began

"My suspicions were right, his essence is tainted but there's good news."

"What?"

"When I usurp essence, I know all about the victim instantly and I have all his abilities and if I desire, I can add it to mine or jinx it or even put it back in the body I originally found it, I have looked through his memories" Alucard smiles.

"Tell me you found Ron" Daniel says his face all lit up.

"Even better, I know how to rescue him."
