Alucard stood on top of the roof, following the FREAKS from a distance. They had just come from robbing a blood bank, if the container they were holding meant anything. He had already sent Police Girl to investigate where it had come from, and perhaps perform whatever damage control was necessary. After all, some things were best kept from public.
But he was brought out of his musings by a change within the group of FREAKS. To be more precise, it was the fact that several had just been reduced to a fine red mist.
Opening his senses as quickly as he could, he was astonished that whatever was attacking them was apparently beyond his current level to detect.
Pushing more power into it, he was finally able to make out what appeared to be a phantom of some sort, which seemed to be using a sword against the FREAKS, ending them quickly and with great finality. Looking closer still, he could make out a faint energy surrounding the sword, indicating it either had a silver coating, or was perhaps holding several runes to ensure the FREAKS did not regenerate.
Soon, much too quickly for Alucard’s tastes, the slaughter ended. And then Alucard received yet another surprise, as the phantom seemed to fade back into existence, revealing itself to actually be a man.
The vampire smiled a bit, a smile that often made many members of Hellsing House whimper in fear. “It would appear we have a new player in town. Far be it from me not to ... introduce myself.”
Seras Victoria came upon the blood bank that had been attacked, expecting as with most FREAK attacks, to find it a bloodbath of dead victims.
But there were no bodies on the floor. In fact, from her vantage point across the street, she could see people laying on the chair-like beds they used for people donating blood, several IVs stuck in them. The only person standing was a girl with short black hair, who wore a white trench coat.
One of the bedded humans, a woman, tried to sit up, moaning in pain. The white woman dashed over to her, easing the other back onto the bed. Seras was barely able to hear them speak, even with her enhanced hearing.
“Are you ... are you the Lady in White?”
“Yes,” said the white clothed woman, as she drew a blanket over the woman. “Now rest, you need it after tonight. And don’t worry; those punks are being dealt with.”
She knew very little about the supposed Lady in White. From what the MI5 detail had been able to gather, she was seen often after attacks, assisting victims, many who said their injuries had been much worse before she had arrived, seeming to indicate she had a regeneration ability she could apply to others.
But what really got to her, was when the Lady in White looked directly at her, as if she wasn’t hidden at all, and revealed her own deep red eyes.
Much to the British vampire’s surprise, she was motioned to come into the bank, as the Lady in White began to clean up the place as best as she could.
Checking her side arm, Seras decided it was time to meet this vampire, and learn more of what was truly happening in Tokyo.
