Chapter 17: Scarlet vs Alucard Pt2

Both Alucard and Scarlet stood there outside, both glaring at each other with killer instinct. a storm rolled in as it started raining, as if on queue the sound of thunder crashing down behind them struck the ground as the two dashed towards each other.

"I'll rip you to shreds." Alucard hissed as he slid past Scarlet and kneed her in the gut.

Scarlet vomits up blood as she growls, slashing her nails at Alucard missing completely. She glanced around as she saw him on the other side. "Lucky shot."

Alucard grins as he aimed his pistols at her and started shooting, he had a itchy trigger finger and he needed to have it scratched. "What's wrong? Did you get slower after that parasite came out?"

Scarlet snickered as she dodges left and right as she spun Black Rose around to deflect any stray bullets, she flew into the air and dove towards Alucard and swung her scythe down at him.

Alucard grabbed the scythe as he kicks his leg up, hitting Scarlet in the chin causing her to let go of Black Rose, sending her twirling back into the air. She stopped herself as she glared at him, she stretched her arm forward as it seemed she was slowly becoming corrupted. Her arm wrapped around Alucard's neck strangling him as she pulled herself towards him, yanking Black Rose away from him.

Alucard ripped Scarlet's arm off as he tossed it aside. "Come on, the fun is just getting started!" He jumped into the air seeming to float there as he jabbed his hand through Scarlet's stomach, and ripped it out. "You won't be needing this, nor will you need those." He grabbed her wings and started to pull them off, tearing them right off of her as he round house kicked her into the wall.

"Bleh." Scarlet spat up blood as she had her stomach ripped out and was kicked hard, her body started to pulse as she was stuck in the wall. Her blood spilled out from the open wound where her stomach was ripped out. "S-Shit...."

"Is that really all you have? The night is still young, regenerate you sack of shit. Come on, only one of us will be crowned the true terror of man kind." Alucard said.

Not getting a reply from Scarlet, Alucard scoffed as he stood on the wall looking down at her. "Immortal my ass."

Scarlet started to twitch as she laughed, she snapped her neck upward as if she broke her own neck. Glaring at Alucard from below, her eyes glowing as her aura hadn't broken. Her Maiden powers had protected her for the most part, but she still had a gaping hole in her gut. "Alucard... What's the difference between a king and his horse? If their form, ability, and power are exactly the same, why is it that one becomes the king and leads them into battle, while the other becomes the horse and carries the king? So what's the characteristic that distinguishes these two beings?"

Alucard cocked an eyebrow up wondering what she was talking about. But he was more puzzled at how she was still alive after having her stomach ripped out.

"There's only one answer! INSTINCT!" Scarlet yelled as she broke out of the wall, her body slowly healing. Pulsing with each heart beat as her skeleton could be seen at the same time. "In fact, it forms the very essence of our being--Deep, within our body lies the honed instinct to dominate, and slaughter our enemies! My friend you have that! You're forgetting one thing…Knowledge!" She dashed towards Alucard as she continued to speak. "I don't know about your friends. But I refuse to play horse to a king who has little knowledge about me, If you aren't willing to assert your strength and retain the crown, then I'll destroy you...Which means...I'll be king."

Alucard went to pull the trigger on his pistol but had his hand chomped off as his eyes widen. "So fast." He tried to keep up with Scarlet's speed as she was just a blur in his vision. He couldn't sniff her out either, it was as if she was blocking his nose with something.

~~~

Scarlet laughed insanely as she slammed Alucard into the mansion as she ran through each room using him to break through each one.

"How did she get so strong all of a sudden?" Alucard asked himself. "She shouldn't be able to move this much."

Scarlet grinned widely as she threw Alucard into the stairs. She had murder flowing through her blood, it seemed her inner Grimm was taking over. Making her lose all sense of her human side, she stepped on Alucard and stomps on his head over and over. Smashing him deeper into the stairs as the Grimm girl raised her foot up and slammed her foot down hard sending both of them down to the basement level.

Crashing down onto the cold flooring of the basement, Scarlet stood up hovering over Alucard. She grabbed his collar as she raised him up, she started to slam her head against his as she kept repeating this motion until she couldn't see any trace of Alucard's head. Panting, Scarlet walked away as she knew it wasn't over yet.

Alucard's head regenerated as he sat up, he spat some blood to the side as he growled. "Impressive, you've managed to make me bleed more than what Anderson has." He slowly walked towards her as he reached out. "But I can't let you beat me so easily."

Scarlet slowly turned around as she grins, stopping time for a brief moment. She moved out of the way and grabbed a barrel full of red wine, and blinks letting time flow again. She threw the wine barrel as she noticed Alucard turn into red mist, scoffing she stood there as she watched him eventually noticing he had vanished.

Alucard teleported behind Scarlet hiding in the darkness as he grins. He wondered if she would notice, but he had also wondered what drove her to go on a killing spree. He silently approached her from behind as he opened his mouth and was about to bite into her neck to drain some blood from her.

Scarlet smirked as she spun around and ducked, kick sweeping him off of his feet. She pinned him down as she glared at him for a moment. "Let's make a deal.." It seemed she had regained her senses of her human side. "You help me with a certain issue I'm having. And in return, I will supply you with the richest of blood you can have."

"Oh?" Alucard asked. "And why would you need my help? You seem strong enough to deal with the issue you're having. Or are you realizing that I haven't used all of my abilities yet?" He glared at her still. "What if I refuse to help you? Why would you offer me better tasting blood from what is around me?"

"I hope you're prepared for a long...long story." Scarlet said as her body had seemed to stop pulsing, yet her corruption had died down to return her to her normal self.

~~~

"Hmm...I see." Alucard said. "So that's the reason, a demon god made a threat on you. So he wants you to do his dirty work."

Scarlet nods a little. "Kinda sums it up." She glanced at the damages they had done. "So in short, the only way I can save my wife. Is by doing the demon god's bidding's."

Alucard stood up as he sighed. "And what was the point in coming here again?"

Scarlet shrugs. "Probably to kill you, or destroy half the town, but seeing as Baby had done half of that for me. I don't think it counts as a complete destruction, normally I'd do my own destruction myself if I didn't have any help. But...the only thing I can possibly think of is slaying some bastard who wants to have world war three happen."

"I know just the person then, a swine who thinks that the world would've been better if America lost in world war two." Alucard said. "I have to ask, how do you feel about German food?"

"Like a German chocolate cake?" Scarlet asked curiously.

"Sure why not." Alucard said. "They call themselves The Millennium Organization. Led by a swine who has vampire troops at his disposal, now normally I'd take care of them myself with some help from Police girl and others. But seeing as Anderson wasn't a match for you, it would seem you'll easily take down this Nazi Organization."

Scarlet smirks. "Well, I am hella hungry...so sounds like free food to me, who's the swine though?"

"He's a cyborg, not sure how much you'll get off of him but he goes by Major." Alucard said. "And there's also a doctor, a captain who's a werewolf. Then there's Rip Van Winkle or The huntress for short, and lastly..a werekitten."

"And let me guess, they all have German names that I'd get my tongue twisted with?" Scarlet asked.

Alucard nods. "Yes, but by all means they're free food for you in the end. So go crazy and kill em all."

Scarlet snickered as she licked her lips. "Kihihihi, ara ara...I can already smell the werekitten's scent from down here." Not saying much more, the Grimm girl went up to the surface leaving Alucard in the basement. "I think I'll borrow a little something from Nightmare, since I've been dying to try it myself. "
