Tifa is wrapping Cloud's hands in bandages after cleaning them, she brought along some first aid kits before leaving the huntress Cloud looks at his bandaged hands and grimaces
Cloud: Whats with that whip anyway Trevor? why the spikes?
Trevor: Sorry about that... I dont usually miss that shot.
Cloud: I mean... better my hands be messed up than you dead, i'll be alright.. they didn't cut deeply.
Trevor: they're not designed to. their intention was to grip the necks of thick hided night creatures like werewolves more securely, to aid in applying the coup de grace, a throat slit with a well honed dagger would do but sometimes id even go so far as to wrench the beast's head off entirely or snap its neck.
Cloud: What manner of beast calls for such a sadistic weapon?
Trevor: Dracula and his night creatures... the Vampire Killer for well for over a millennia was the only thing that could destroy these monsters. turns out saiyan powers work well enough too or other such powers, like Alucard has.
Cloud: i get it, you needed the right weapon for the job.
Trevor: back in the 11th century, Leon Belmont forged this whip after it gained its true form from a great sacrifice. a length of chain of forged silver and blessed in holy water, he was a blacksmith.. one of the best that ever lived, its how he earned a living for his family while also blending in with the humans.. well least til the night he turned Super Saiyan.
Cloud: sounds like theres a lot of history there... id like to hear all of it one day.
Trevor: Very well but the long and short of it is, every part of this whip exists for a reason.. the stake attachment on the bottom here
Trevor hits a button a large metal spike extends out of the whip's grip
Trevor: other than Dracula himself, a stake to the heart is quite fatal to lower vampires. usually these were fashioned out of wood because metal was expensive. Leon knew he'd need the best materials so he refrained from wood. it also comes in handy if I fall from a high place, i can jab it into the rocks or something and stop my fall though that wasn't an option for earlier i wasn't near a wall..
Tifa: so that whips been around since the 11th century? the time of the crusades and... no indoor plumbing...
Trevor: its an old relic, but expertly forged and maintained by every wielder of it since, including me. this baby will stand up to the rigors of combat for years to come.
Alucard looks up at the fort his nose wretches at the scent of blood, suddenly thick in the air it makes him lightheaded even he grips his head and stumbles he sits down on the ground
Trevor: Alucard? What's wrong?
Alucard: The scent of blood.... Innocent blood.
Trevor smells the air
Trevor: I smell somethin too.
Alucard: the blood of babies.
Trevor: babies!?
Alucard staggers to his feet he follows a path around the back of the fort the scent becomes stronger, even Trevor has to cover his nose
Trevor: where you goin? Hey Alucard!
Alucard and Trevor climb up a hill right behind the fort
Alucard: no....
Trevor: God no....
Mickie: guys what's going on!?
Mickie didn't follow but she can see the look on their faces, one the man who has lived for a thousand years and has seen so much death and destruction and the Belmont who has endured so much of his own pain are struck speechless.
Tifa: what's got them so spooked?
Mickie: I... I don't want to know. if its bad enough they're that stricken by it.. id really rather not know.
Alucard: Bastards....
Trevor is shaking his shock soon turns to anger when he sees boats being loaded with that same green venom that almost took Katie from him.
Trevor: Alucard!! look! the venom!!
Alucard: I see it!
Trevor: Let's rip them apart!
Trish: Trevor! hold on just a moment
Trevor: Trish?
Trish: I just, wanted to make sure you dont go flying off without thinking... if those boats sink with that stuff on board, Soda Lake will become a toxic cesspool.. probably forever.
Trevor: Understood, Alucard. we hit them hard but precise do not damage those containers on board.
Alucard: Surgical strike then, hard, fast, precise.
Trevor: You got it. lets go!
Trevor and Alucard leap down on some rocks til they reach the shoreline Trevor turns and looks back.
Alucard: Baby Dilophosaurus corpses.. just left here to rot after having something surgically removed from them... theres nothing we can do for them.
Trevor: if they stay here the water could still become contaminated...
Alucard: then theres only one course of action.
Trevor: forgive me....
Mickie makes it to where the boys were standing moments ago she can only watch horrified at the sight, and as Trevor sets the corpses on fire so they can pose no danger to the ecosystem of the lake.
Trish: That was the right call, though their venom glands were removed it'd still be a hazard to let the rotting corpses wash into the water.
Mickie: Trish... trish what the hell is going on!?
Trish: I... I guess we know what set Myles off now.
Mickie: What did Trevor just do!?
Trish: those children were dead already Mickie... he saved the lake by burning the bodies up. they're making the venom that Katie got injected with from their own young..
Mickie watches as Trevor and Alucard do a huge jump onto the nearest boat and take it over.
Trish: Those boats are transporting the venom to be used against us. Trevor and Alucard are on the attack to prevent that from happening. looks to be 3 boats not counting the one they just took over.... Mickie?
Mickie: Those.... monsters.
Trish: ...
Trevor: Myles, can you hear me?
Myles: in the middle of something here!
Trevor: I know, but... we found some of the venom being transported by boat, we're stopping the boats now, if you see any of that stuff inside the castle, destroy it. burn it up good so none of it remains.
Myles: Oh I planned on it Trevor... trust me.. if only you know what they made it with....
Trevor: We do know..... trust me.
Myles: what.. what does that mean?
Trevor: we found... we found their corpse pile.. right behind the fort. where they were loading containers of the venom. there had to be hundreds.. maybe more.
Myles: Understood.....
Trevor breaks contact as he uses an intensely powered up Fire Wave to burn the venom canisters to ash. the flames are blue instead of the normal color burning white hot.
Trevor: Thats all of it... lets catch up to the other boats.
Alucard: i'll pilot, you look like you need to sit down for a bit.
Trevor: im fine...
Alucard takes the wheel the boat speeds toward the other nearest boat.
Trevor sits nearby he looks pretty shaken.
Alucard: you're thinking about her... aren't you?
Trevor: Sypha...
Alucard: We'll stop them, we'll kick them off this world.
Trevor: I... I dont want to just kick them off.
Alucard: I know, but you know the rules.
Trevor: To hell with the rules, they kill their own children to make their freaking bioweapons.
Alucard: hm... perhaps mercy wont be an option then and it wont matter
Trevor: They sure as hell don't act like they'd accept mercy. Blood will be on everyones hands by the time this is over.
Alucard: Messy work...
Trevor: Punch it Alucard, we can't let them get away.
Alucard: I wonder.... these boats can't be all the supply there is..
Trevor: Theres a werehouse of the stuff you think?
Alucard: these guys haven't caught on to what we did yet, Trevor...
Trevor: Trish can you see a werehouse anywhere.. somewhere that'd store a lot of this venom crap?
Trish: I see a large building looks to be along the route these boats are taking, Trevor.. dont attack the other boats.
Trevor: understood, we'll act natural and let em lead us to the warehouse.
Trish: rest of you hold at the fort. Trevor and Alucard wont be too long.
Mickie returns to the rest of the group she has her head down as she sits near the lake.
the smoke from the burning corpses rises high into the sky the rest of the team can see it.
Tifa: They'll get what's coming to them... I swear it.
Rosalina: this cruelty... it puts even Frost to shame.
McIntyre: Grrrrr...... those bastards... I wish I had some to rip apart right now!!
Ally: McIntyre...
McIntyre: grrr... AAAA!
Ally: McIntyre!
McIntyre: Please... Ally just... just let me let it out.
Ally: stompin around like a madman is just a waste of energy.
McIntyre: I know... I know... im so angry though my body is trembling i just have to.. RAAAAaaaagh1
McIntyre punches a hole in the ground
Ally: i know, I may not be showing it but I feel the same as the rest of you guys.
McIntyre calms a bit he lays back on the grass
Ally: thats better. dont you worry, we'll beat these guys send em back to space where they belong.
Mickie is sitting by the lake looking very upset.
Rosalina sits besides her she wraps an arm around her Mickie just lays her head on her.
Mickie: Thanks, but im okay... you just.. never want to see something like that. strange I... feel so calm around you.
Rosalina: Well, a mother knows how to comfort a child in distress.
Mickie: a mother? you're a mother?
Rosalina: mother to countless Little Ones, up there... the stars.
Mickie: The stars?
Rosalina looks up at the sky
Rosalina: Fly high little ones... become stars that shine down upon us. Your pain and suffering are no more, fly high with the other Little Ones free and joyful. I have lived quite a long time and have seen many of my Little Ones, the Lumas become planets and stars, comets and other things, im always sad but feel pride at this. there was a time I was a young girl I helped a luma build a spaceship to find its mother, we never did i had dreams of my own mother.. "Going away"
think you know what i mean.. then i realized she really did go away and I felt sad and homesick, thats when the Lumas under my care made a comet the Observatory I travel around in so i could visit my home whenever i wanted.
Mickie: Your mother... what happened to her?
Rosalina: She sleeps under my favorite tree, where me my brother and my father would sled during the times it would be quite snowy, or enjoy the breeze on a warm day, or my favorite thing, sneaking out of bed at night to watch the stars in the sky with my dad.
Mickie: and your brother and father?
Rosalina: as said, ive lived a long time. they're sleeping now too.
Mickie: i see..
Rosalina: im not sad though, i have my lumas they're my family now.
Mickie: my mother died giving birth to me. ive felt guilty about it ever since i was old enough to realize why she wasn't around. seeing all those dead children just now... all I could think about other than revenge on their murderers were the parents... were they in on it? giving up their children willingly to be sacrificed...?
Rosalina: I dont know.
Mickie: of course i dunno why i even said that.. I just.. im okay. i'll be okay anyways, i can't fall to pieces now, still much work to be done. Thanks for checkin in on me
Rosalina: no trouble at all.
