Vampire Hunter D vs. Alucard vs. Space Ghost
Round 4, Day 45:
D wandered through a flowering meadow amidst his travels when something strange caught his vampiric senses.
From the surrounding forests ran a tall, blond-haired, man with a ghastly pale face and a drawn sword. Blasts of energy appeared behind him from thin air as the man swiftly dodged them.
From across the field, Alucard looked over at D, both of them instantly sensing each other as half-vampires. D nodded at Alucard, who immediately jumped over to him.
Alucard and D stood back to back, their swords drawn as they waited for any sign of their mutual enemy.
“He’s attacking from my side!” Alucard shouted over his shoulder as a beam of energy emanated from thin air, aiming at the two who quickly leapt in different directions to avoid the blast before jumping back.
“It’s bad,” Alucard muttered.
“I sense it too,” D agreed, “Not only can this guy turn invisible, he seems to be able to teleport as well.”
Another blast flew from the air, but this time the two found that they were unable to move, surrounded by an energy barrier that held them still as the beam flew towards them.
“Can you survive the blast?” Alucard quickly asked.
“I think so,” D muttered.
“Good. Distract him,” Alucard barked as the blast hit them both creating a large explosion that choked the air with dust.
Space Ghost deactivated his invisibility as he hovered over to the cloud of dust he had recently made. D’s silhouette being barely visible.
“Well I didn’t mean to incinerate the poor guy, but I guess that’s case closed,” Space Ghost muttered.
“Not quite,” D wheezed as his vampiric regeneration helped him quickly recover from his minor wounds.
“Another vampire huh? Damn, this area must be filled with ‘em. Well, it’s a living I suppose,” Space Ghost said as he raised his gauntlet at D and prepared to fire.
D quickly took off his left glove, revealing a hole on his Left Hand that expanded rapidly as he dashed towards Space Ghost. The officer let off a shot just as D came upon him, shoving Left Hand’s mouth onto Space Ghost’s forearm as the Symbiote quickly began sucking Space Ghost into itself.
Space Ghost instinctively planted his foot on D’s chest and kicked himself off the vampire, freeing his arm in the process.
“Well that was just gross. Eat Light-Ray vampire scum!” Space Ghost shouted as he raised his arm to fire, but found that his gauntlet was nowhere in sight.
“My Left Hand thanks you for the meal,” D smirked.
“Ah sugar babies,” Space Ghost muttered.
Suddenly a squirt of blood shot from Space Ghost’s chest, as a reformed Alucard stabbed him through the back with his sword. The officer being dead before he had a chance to hit the ground.
Alucard wiped his sword clean as he looked over at D.
“Thanks for the assist. I’m sure I could’ve done it myself, but you simply made it happen faster,” Alucard nodded, “Funny thing to run into a fellow halfbreed like myself.”
D nodded gravely, “I sense you have powerful blood in your veins. Alucard correct? The son of Dracula?”
“Right on target. Let me guess, you’re a vampire hunter then? So many halfbreeds are these days,” Alucard sighed, “Well if you’re out for blood, then you should have nothing against me. I’m as much a vampire as you are.”
“True,” D agreed, “But I’m after your father, and I think killing you would help bring him to me.”
Alucard smiled before drawing his sword, “Not exactly a solid plan, but I’m perfectly willing to let you give it a try.”
D charged into Alucard as their steel clashed, Alucard parrying but D countering it, the two half-breeds fought with equal skill and will.
After swiftly blocking D’s counter, Alucard placed his boot on the side of D’s blade and cleanly kicked off, unleashing a dozen fireballs as he flew.
D quickly raised his Left Hand, which opened its mouth wide and consumed the flames, absorbing the power and feeding it into the Hunter.
“So it absorbs energy as well as matter,” Alucard noted, “Very interesting.”
“You haven’t seen anything yet,” D smirked as he flew into Alucard with his renewed power, moving faster than Alucard could raise his sword in order to cut through him, ending up at his back in an instant.
Alucard fell to the ground in pain as he attempted to nurse the massive slash across his chest.
“Even the son of Dracula can best me with this symbiote inside me. Now do you see the difference in levels beneath us? There’s simply no way you can beat me,” D coldly stated.
“You want to talk about differences in level?” Alucard said as he pulled himself to his feet, “Allow me to show you my true capabilities, then you can talk, if you are still able to.”
Weapons formed around Alucard as he summoned his Mablung Sword and the Alucard Shield.
“More weapons? Those won’t work against me,” D stated.
“No?” Alucard asked as he quickly sprinted into the Vampire Hunter and swiftly knocked him to the ground with shield using unparalleled speed.
The son of Dracula fell on top of the Hunter and held him to the ground with his shield, the combination of his two weapons tearing D apart and absorbing D’s health into Alucard.
D was defenseless against the searing pain and damage caused by the shield as he finally dispersed into a cloud of lifeless dust.
Alucard got to his feet as he looked at the dust.
“That is the difference in power between the son of Dracula, and some third-rate vampire hunter. Thanks for the help, but if you’ll excuse me, I must take my leave, not that you mind I’m sure.”
