Chapter 47

It was moments later as we see Isaac waiting at the school entrance with Christine and Yuko. Christine looked nervous as Isaac nudged her arm.

"Hey, you okay?" Isaac asked.

"A little nervous. Why did Van ask me to join the team?" Christine asked.

"Don't know." Isaac replied.

"Your family probably has history with killing demons, maybe?" Yuko asked.

"No. Well, my mom did. But that's her. I don't know much besides shooting them." Said Christine.

"Glad to hear you're listen in class instead of having your headphones on." Said Isaac.

"Hey, I listen. Don't underestimate me." Said Christine as she and Isaac chuckled.

"A-Anyway, who are we waiting for again?" Yuko asked.

"Oh, three students who said to help out. All three of them are the school's best students." Said Isaac.

"Who are they?" Christine asked.

"Um, let's see…" Said Isaac.

"Excuse me!" Said a voice.

They all looked up and were immediately flabbergasted at what they were looking at. They saw a young man wearing what looked like the skin and the quills of hedgehog on his back and head, like a cloak. He even was riding a giant cockerel, while the three stood speechless. He had beautiful blue eyes and was muscularly lean as he had great posture.

"I am Hans Hedges. I was called to help out with the mission." Said Hans.

"Are you guys seeing this?" Yuko asked.

"You're not alone." Said Christine.

"Uh, yeah. W-Welcome. Uh, can I ask about…" Said Isaac as he pointed at him.

"The giant rooster and the hedgehog get up?" Hans asked.

"Yes!" Isaac, Christine and Yuko responded.

"Ah, yes. I rather keep it as a secret. I like to keep people guessing why." Said Hans.

"No, no! Tell us!" Yuko yelled.

"Don't worry. I will tell you eventually, friends. Because it's no good to spoil things now." Said Hans.

Suddenly, they heard motorcycles revving and rumbling nearby as biker gang arrived. They all had tough looking bikers, even female members as they all watched. But out came a small petite girl with black hair that faded to red from the tips. She was young and cute as she was carrying a duffle bag that was bigger than her on her back. She then waved at Isaac and Hans as they waved back, while Christine and Yuko were still in confusion.

"You know her?" Christine asked.

"How many girls do you know?" Yuko asked.

"Plenty, I'm guessing." Said Hans.

"I wasn't asking you, sonic!" Said Yuko.

"That's Regina Redden. She's been my shadow for some of my missions. She's an excellent sniper and she will always have your back covered." Said Isaac.

"Bye, mom! Bye, dad! Thanks for the ride! You guys enjoy the road! Rev on!" Said Regina as she waved goodbye to the bikers.

"Those were her parents!?" Christine responded.

"This country is weird." Said Yuko.

"Hans, my dude! How have you been? I'd hug you, but those pesky quills of yours." Said Regina as she gave finger guns.

"I'm glad to see you too, Red. Ugh, you've shot me." Said Hans, pretending to be shot.

"Yo, Isaac! My man! I wish, am I right, girls?" Said Regina.

"She's not wrong." Yuko thought to herself.

"Uh, yeah." Said Christine.

"Nice seeing you in person again, Reg. Thanks for having my ass." Said Isaac.

"No problem. You know I got you. I owe you since you did show me how to shot better." Said Regina.

"I showed you the basics. The rest you did on your own." Said Isaac.

"Now, that makes since." Said Yuko.

"Regina, Hans. This is Yuko and Christine. I'm Isaac if you didn't know." Said Isaac.

"Nice to meet you all. I look forward to working with you." Said Hans.

"Yeah, what he said. Whoa! Almost fell there." Said Regina as her bag made her lose balance.

"What do you have in there?" Christine asked.

"Oh, my baby and the twins. You'll meet them later. Easy, girls. Mama has you." Said Regina as she patted her bag, while Yuko and Christine were confused.

"Her sniper and a pair of axes." Said Isaac.

"Oh." Yuko and Christine responded.

A bus arrived and it opened its doors as they saw a girl with dark skin, a scar on the middle of her forehead, short messy white hair, long white coat and wore a baseball cap as she had her hands in her pants pocket. She had a black shirt and white pants that were Haitian in design. She had an intimidating look on her face as she looked dead serious as she walked out of the bus.

"Who's that?" Regina asked.

"Josephine Dionne Jones. She's Ms. Bautista's niece and apprentice." Said Isaac.

"Oh, cool." Said Regina.

Josephine approached them as she took of her cap, while rubbing head.

"You the guys who I'm supposed to meet?" Josephine asked.

"Yeah, we're glad you can make it." Said Isaac.

"Of course. Ana was a good friend and better hunter. Her and I were in the same grade and we went on missions before she was assigned to her own team. I owe her a lot. I plan paying her back by taking out this demon and sending him back to the damn pit whence he came." Said Josephine.

"I like her." Said Yuko.

"Me too!" Said Regina.

It would be later as we see the full team together as Isaac, Yuko, Christine, Jennifer, Vergil, Regina, Hans, Dionne and Van were together in a room with a table in the middle. Sister Madeline walked in as she was dressed for the mission.

"Truly, this is a formidable team!" Said Hans.

"Can some explain him to me?" Jennifer asked as she pointed.

"So where are we going to be at?" Regina asked.

"At an old Van Helsing home. It was abandon because of how old it was and it's in the middle of nowhere." Said Van as he has picture of it on the table.

"And why are you here, Sister Madeline?" Jennifer asked.

"I will be the healer. Just in case things get worse." Said Madeline.

"Alright." Said Yuko.

"I'm also going to need a volunteer to be disguised as Abe. I know for sure that bastard is watching this place." Said Van.

"I'll do it! I've always wanted to try these things." Said Regina as she approached Van.

"Alright. And since that's settled. All of you, head out with everything ready. Me and Regina will be there 3 hours. That should be enough time. This demon is going to back to hell today." Said Van.

It would be later that day as we see Van driving a car to the mansion with Regina, disguised as Abe as they looked exactly alike. They were on the city's street as Regina was looking into a mirror and touching her face.

"I just noticed he's really cute for a boy. Like he's pretty girly looking." Said Regina.

"Oh, yeah. He's always looked that way. He kind of hates it. He got bullied a lot because of that." Said Van.

"Yeah, I know how that feels. Believe it or not. But I, Regina, was picked on for my size." Said Regina with her hand on her chest.

"You? No!" Van responded.

"Oh, but yes! But my mama taught me how to be tough. And pops taught me to ignore the hate. But I am sorry about Ana, Van. How are you holding up?" Regina asked.

"I'll live. I just want him dead." Said Van with a serious tone.

"I can't believe she died, though. I looked up to her and she was like…invincible. She helped me better my skills as a hunter. Isaac, taught me how to shoot. Ana taught me how to fight at close range. She's the reason I have a second axe. She gave it to me as a gift. You're not alone Van. I want him dead too!" Said Regina.

We then see them on the highway as we see Bram watching from a distance. He had a serious look, until it change into a smirk.

"They think moving the kid is going save him. Dumbasses." Said Bram.

The car soon arrived at a dirt road as Van drove in, while Bram followed at a distance. We then see Van explaining the plan to everyone as they listened.

"We're going to lure him into this old Van Helsing home. I know for sure he's going to attack the car while we're on the road." Said Van.

Suddenly, Bram hurled his chains at the car as it latched onto the roof. Regina was startled as Bram pulled himself and landed onto the car.

"Take the wheel!" Van shouted.

Regina jumped to the drives seat as Van moved to the passenger's seat, while Bram ripped open the roof with his claws. He had a smile on his face, but in front of it was Van's shotgun as he fired point blank of his face. Van then forced something into his mouth and then kicked him off the car as Bram landed and slid across the dirt road. His face healing as we see it was a grenade in his mouth. It then exploded as Regina looked back, while Van sat down.

"Nice." Said Regina.

"Thanks. I wish I could've shoved it in his ass." Said Van.

"Gross." Said Regina.

Bram walked off the in explosion as his jaw was broken off. But he placed it back as it reattached itself with fast regeneration. The car drove in like crazy as it was approaching the old mansion as the others were in place. Bram was right after them as he hurled his chain at the car again, while running. Regina moved the car to the side as it missed. Vergil was standing by a tree as he played his violin. It activated a magic spell that made a large dome that covered the who mansion's estate. Bram noticed the spell activating as he soon found himself surrounded by Yuko, Hans, Isaac, Dionne and Jennifer, while Christine and Sister Madeline were at a distance. Regina turned the car as it drifted and stopped as she and Van got out in style. Regina grabbed her axes and sniper from the car as she took off her disguise. Van had his brass knuckles on as he approached Bram with a enraged look. Bram then started to chuckle and then cackled out loud.

"Was this your plan!? I admit. You got me to fall for it. But from what I can see, you cast a barrier spell, right?" Bram asked.

"Yeah, welcome to the Thunderdome." Said Regina.

"And you got all these little hunters for me?" Bram asked.

"It's to ensure that you won't escape so easily. Maddy!" Van shouted.

Suddenly, Bram felt a powerful weight on him as it forced him on his knees. Sister Madeline had her left hand out to Bram as she was holding onto her necklaces cross. Van approached him with his gun as he quickly loaded a revolver with custom made silver bullets as he aimed pointed it at Bram's forehead.

"This won't kill you immediately. But it's going to hurt like hell for you." Said Van.

But Bram only laughed as that angered Van as he fired into his head. Bram yelled out in horrifying pain as his wound was burning, but slowly regenerating. But his yelling pain changed into laughter as Van fired all of his rounds into Bram's body. He was in deep pain, but he laughed as Van tossed his gun and then rammed his fist into his face as he fell onto the ground.

"What's so damn fucking funny!?" Van yelled.

"You think that can kill me? I live to feel this pain. And don't think that you got me. How is the boy? Is he safe?" Bram asked as Van looked unsettled.

Meanwhile, we see Lilith and Abe waiting outside of a room as Lilith looked nervous.

"Are you okay? You seem nervous." Said Abe.

"Well, yeah. I'm excited is all. I'm actually going to talk to Delilah. Are you sure you can wait outside for me?" Lilith asked.

"Yeah. I got my phone. So take your time." Said Abe.

"Okay. I'll be back in a few." Said Lilith as she got up and walked into the room.

Abe watched her as his eyes went low to her bottom as Abe was ashamed of himself.

"I'm going to hell, aren't it?" Said Abe.

Lilith walked into the room as Delilah was sitting down, restrain as there were only two chairs. Lilith sat in front of Delilah as she only gave a straight serious look, while Lilith tried smiling to her.

"H-How have you been, Delilah?" Lilith asked.

"The same to be honest. You?" Delilah asked.

"Good. I've made a friend." Said Lilith.

"The boy who looks like a girl?" Delilah asked.

"Y-Yes." Said Lilith.

An awkward silences fell upon them as Lilith looked to her side, trying to think as she placed her finger on her lips.

"You don't have to be here, Lilith." Said Delilah.

"I want to be here. Delilah, I never got the chance to say thank you for what you did." Said Lilith.

"There's no need. You…were suffering. And I couldn't stand it." Said Delilah.

"Still…I owe you so much. And I'm going to do whatever it takes to free you!" Said Lilith.

"There's no point, Lilith. Until he dies, I'm forever bound to him. And Bram can't be killed. Only something powerful like a sacred weapon that specifically uses light or holy magic. There's no stopping him. Abe will die." Said Delilah.

"Don't you dare say that! They will stop him!" Lilith yelled.

"No they won't. Lilith, I'm sorry…" Said Delilah.

Suddenly, her irises glowed as Lilith's glowed as well. Lilith was in a hypnotized state as she got up and on her neck was the same spell that bound Delilah to Bram. Lilith's hand even had magic spell circles on them as there were two circles.

"But I can't stop myself from helping him. Like I said, we are forever bound to serve and to do as he says. Forgive me." Said Delilah with a regretful look.

Lilith walked out as Abe was reading on his phone, but quickly stood up and approached her.

"Uh, did you finish? Because that didn't take too long." Said Abe.

"Hey, do you want to go somewhere private to talk?" Lilith asked.

They soon arrived at his dorm room as Abe closed the door behind him, while Lilith looked at him as she was blushing.

"What did you want to…uh, is something wrong?" Abe asked.

Lilith gently forced Abe's back to the door as she was touching his chest, while looking at him with passionate eyes. She started to press herself onto him as Abe turned red as he could feel her chest on his as he stuttered.

"W-W-W-W-What are you d-doing!?" Abe asked.

"Abe, I don't know why. But I've been having these strong feelings for you. I just can't help myself." Said Lilith as she got closer.

"N-NO! I can't believe I'm saying no. But no! This…this isn't like you. Not after what you've told me. What's going on with you?" Abe asked.

"I…I don't know. But I have to take you to Bram." Said Lilith as her eyes glowed.

Abe was startled by those words, until she held her hand up to Abe as they both suddenly teleported to where Bram and the others were at. Everyone was startled, until Bram grabbed Abe and Lilith from their necks as his claws were on their throats. Madeline stopped as Bram laughed. Lilith snapped out of her hypnosis state and immediately froze. She looked at Bram as she was started to have an episode, while Abe looked at him with rage filled eyes.

"Now, let's see where this goes." Said Bram.
