Sonia: Not going to miss that..

Cyrus: hey I didn't hear that toothbrush...

Sonia: I brushed.. then threw up.

Cyrus: talk about bad timing.

Sonia: gosh it's already after 12... shoot.

Cyrus: What's the plan today? where are we going?

Alucard: I believe I can answer that

Sonia: AHH!!

Sonia leaps onto the bed and right ontop of Lyra.

Lyra: OI!! WHAT GOES ON HERE?

Cyrus: who the hell is that!?

Sonia: Alucard!!!

Alucard turns and smiles at the camera

*PAUSE*

Mickie: REALLY!?

Alucard: ive been doing that stuff for a loooooooooooooong time.

Sonia: you never get used to it

Mickie: you really dont.

*UNPAUSE*

Sonia: geez dude...

Cyrus: again, who the heck is this guy?

Sonia: I haven't talked about him yet.. this is Alucard he's... a friend of the Belmont family he's fought alongside my ancestors before in defiance of his father... Count Vlad Tepes Dracula.

Cyrus: Tch damn... that's gotta make for some awkward holiday gatherings.

Alucard: Quite... if we did such things.

Sonia: why are you here? dont tell me drac decided to wake up early cuz im

Alucard: pregnant, i know.. congratulations. It will be a boy

Sonia: huh but... how?

Alucard: im not telling

Alucard smirks as walks past Sonia and to the door.

Alucard: I heard you were here on Sedala so I found my way here.. just got here actually.

Sonia: not that im not happy to see an old friend but... why come all the way here?

Alucard: i'm going to join whatever team you're forming, ive heard some unsettling things from some military people apparently nobody has heard from the other kingdoms in a few days, total silence.

Lyra: Just like with Glasgow...

Sonia: we're going around the kingdoms to recruit teammates so we were gonna run into trouble no matter what i guess.

Alucard: yes, and an extra fighter in your pocket surely wont go amiss

Sonia: you're more than welcome, old friend.

Alucard smiles he opens the door

Alucard: we should get going, I'll wait for you out front.

Sonia: right. alright lazybones lets get goin

Cyrus: alright alright...

the team gathers near the truck, except Lyra and Lorna they're beginning their work upgrading and adding onto The Raven.

Sonia: Lyra and Lorna will be in contact with us they got bots runnin recon on the other kingdoms but we should just pick one and head toward it. that way we're already out and on the road.

Lyra: can you guys hear me?

Sonia: loud and clear, radios seem to work fine.

Lyra: okay, just testing. the bots haven't reported anything yet

Sonia: we were gonna just pick somewhere to go and get on the road

Lyra: Works for me Dublin Kingdom is the next closest one but it'll be about a 4 hour drive... 5 tops?

Jennifer: is there anyone in particular we should look out for to recruit?

Lyra: they got a retired MMA fighter there who's been wantin to join a merc band, and a former bounty hunter... huh.. wow she's hot... I'll try to dig up whatever information I can go to Dublin and find out what's going on there... i got a bad feeling just.. radio silence from the other kingdoms I really can't raise anyone at all ive tried several times.

Adonis: We'll take care of it, let's hit the road you all.

Cyrus: sure you'll be okay to come with Sonia?

Sonia: I know..I probably should stay on the ship..

Cyrus: you.. really should. we dunno what we're gonna find. im sorry but..

Sonia: it's okay, maybe ill have a chance to see the kingdoms some other time. just come back to me big guy..

Cyrus: No problem.

Sonia hugs and kisses Cyrus they load up into the truck are on the road she watches the truck drive off.

Sonia: I can't put you in danger baby.. not again.

Sonia returns to The Raven she takes her shoes off and radio out of her ear she just watches TV.

Sonia: im not in your alls way being here am I?

Lyra: Nope. but... if this team's gonna be called The Birds of Prey.. well i got to thinkin... Ravens are not birds of prey.

Sonia: you wanna change the ship name?

Lyra: Yeah i mean or is this not like.. set in stone yet?

Sonia: we haven't talked about an actual name for the team not seriously anyway

Lyra: Okay, we'll shelve it for now

Sonia: sounds good... can't think of anything right now anyways.. heh

Lyra: yeah i gotta get back to work.. busy busy busy..

[Trevor Belmont]

the team rolls on down the road toward Dublin Kingdom

Jennifer: not much farther now.

Simon sits next to Alucard, Cyrus watches the landscape turn very hilly with lush green fields as far as the eye can see.

Cyrus: must be getting close, heh.. startin to look pretty green.

Adonis: So... uh Alucard was it? you're a vampire?

Alucard: Damphir, half human half vampire... human mother, vampire father. I've known the Belmont family for a great many years, too many to count really.

Cyrus: how the heck old are you?

Alucard: very, you're Belmont's mate correct?

Cyrus: yes.. my name is Cyrus

Alucard: you're a Super Saiyan so are you Simon.

Simon: Sure are, guess those senses are as a sharp as ever

Alucard: it does not take a vampire to feel the change in you two. your energy is different than it was before, wild and untamed.

Cyrus: Nailed it

Simon: its still a new form to both of us we aint had much chance to train.. all that's been goin lately.

Alucard: I suggest we brace for impact...

Adonis: what are you talkin about?

Jennifer: HOLY

an explosion rocks the truck flipping it over on its top it slides down a hill hitting a bump it spins through the air and lands on it's side, soldiers bear down on it and fire on the truck Simon kicks a door off its hinges sending it flying toward the soldiers it takes one out

Simon: Yeah... im really glad Sonia stayed behind now...

Lyla: holy crap are you guys okay!? I heard that over the comms what happened!?

Simon: ergh my ears are ringin...

Cyrus: Talk later!

Alucard: i'll give us some cover!

Alucard exits the vehicle in mist form he reforms in front of the soldiers, they look like Saiyan soldiers but their armor isn't of the Military Alucard transforms into his giant beast form and starts tearing through the soldiers.

soldier: WHAT THE HELL!?

soldier 2: KILL IT KILL IT! RAAAAAAAAAAGH..

the soldier fires full auto but Alucard bats him away like a flea he goes flying and slams into a jagged rock it pierces his armor and digs into his back enough to impale him he flails around in pain then gives up the ghost hanging on the rock. the rest of the team exit the vehicle and find cover.

Adonis: what the!?

Cyrus: woah.. what strength.. to do that to somebody.

Simon: heh heh heh

Alucard roars and fires flames from his mouth that set some soldiers on fire they run around and scream in agony Alucard picks a solider up and tears his head off dropping the corpse and throwing the head into the ground near his buddies. he rampages until the gunfire stops then he goes back to his normal state and returns to the team still hiding, dumbstruck at the brutality they just witnessed.. all except Simon.

Alucard: Lets go, we need to figure out the situation here.

Jennifer looks a little scared Alucard turns away from her

Alucard: i'll just go ahead then..

Alucard leaps up to a nearby rooftop and enters the city itself.

Simon: Jennifer?

Jennifer: im okay, its not like I feel bad for the soldiers I've just.. never seen something quite like that.

Adonis opens the trunk of the truck and pulls out a big box he sets it down infront of the team.

Adonis: Got us a little somethin

he kicks the box open inside is suits of armor similar to what soldiers on this planet wear it's black but has lines that faintly glow running all around the armor.

Adonis: Lorna worked double time on these.. poor thing  worries me sometimes with how hard she works.

Adonis takes a suit of armor out and puts it on, there's a blood red mark on the left side of the chest part that looks like the talon of an eagle or falcon or some kind of bird of prey.

Adonis: waddya think?

Jennifer: Talon Company...

Adonis: eh?

Jennifer: The name.. just came to me seeing that talon mark on the chest.

Adonis: Talon Company...

Alucard: you guys might want to hurry up, the enemy has completely occupied the city.. is this thing on?

Simon: We read ya, we're comin.

Adonis slips on the helmet part he pushes a button and the helmet closes up all around the others slip their armor on too... each suit is tailor made for their body type and height when they secure the helmet they find that their vision is totally unobstructed.

Cyrus: how the heck can we breathe out of these things anyway?

Lorna: the helmet isn't airtight it's just letting in air to breathe.. simple as that.

Lorna's pretty face shows up right in the heads up display on their helmet's visors.

Lorna: I see we got crystal clear audio and visuals.. we can see what you see Talon Company.

Cyrus: is that what we're calling ourselves? really?

Lorna: why not? i like the name!

Lyra's face pops up too.

Lyra: whew, it's tough work upgrading a ship...

Lyra is wearing a more revealing top she sips from a can of Dr Pepper

Lyra: Mm.. this stuff is good.

she sets the can down and looks at the monitor showing what the team is seeing.

Lyra: Wow... that Alucard guy went to town eh?

Sonia: yeah he does that.

Cyrus: it's a good thing you stayed behind babe... we hit an anti tank mine or somethin and took one hell of a roller coaster ride.

Sonia: are you all okay?

Cyrus: We're fine.

Sonia: good.

Simon: lets get a move on but stay frosty, Alucard says the whole city's under enemy control.

Lyra: he's right.

Lorna: what about Raptor-1 for the ship's new name?

Sonia: hrmmmm....

Lorna: no dice? Raptor is just a name for certain birds of prey.. eagles and what not.

Lyra: blood eagle?

Lorna: War Eagle?

Lyra: Harrier?

Sonia: Sparrowhawk?

Simon: uhh....  No on all fronts.

Lyra: we'll keep at it...

Cyrus: I'm fine with The Raven honestly.. they're cool birds.

Lyra: Anyways, let's just focus on the task at hand.

Sonia sits back in a chair watching the monitors as well.

Sonia: looks pretty there..

Cyrus and the team move in they move quietly and slowly letting some patrols by

Cyrus: yeah... damn shame we can't enjoy the scenery..

Jenn: surely they heard all that noise outside the city. why isn't anyone investigating?

Adonis: my names not Shirley, and I don't know.

Jenn: real comedian this one.

Alucard: maybe they just dont care, maybe they're expecting us after what happened in Glasgow.

Adonis: just seems odd.. the ruckus you caused shoulda at least brought some people to investigate. For that matter where's our military? too much of this just doesn't make sense. Lyra get in contact with Sarge.

Lyra: Carter right? Okay.

Lyra contacts Carter his face is now shown on the team's display

Carter: who is this? who gave you this channel to contact?

Lyra: Sorry sir im Lyra of..

Sonia: Talon Company

Lyra: right! yeah Talon Company.

Adonis: i'll take it from here, Sarge somethin's goin down in Dublin Kingdom.. are you aware of this?

Carter: i was trying to contact you back in Knottingham but.. yeah we are.. we also can't do anything if we make a move they'll set off a nuke big enough to turn the kingdom and a significant portion of the surrounding area into a crater. those soldiers there are former military and mercenaries they're led by someone named Razor, he's a wanted man on several planets.. question is where did they get a nuke like that..?

Adonis: probably the same mysterious benefactor that gave those Pirates fancy weapons and armor.

Carter: Yeah, no doubt. Something like that is very hard to come by let alone steal not impossible but very difficult by the way good job in Glasgow Kingdom I finished reading through the report you sent, from now on I want you guys to stay in contact with me I'll feed information to this pretty lady as I get it.

Lyra: aww.. such a charmer.

Adonis: That works for me Sarge.

Carter: be careful, from the information I've managed to gather the nuke and Razor aint your only problem, they got some sorta secret weapon there it looks like a person but.. our scouters can't read it.. at all dont even ping it as a living being.

Adonis: the hell?

Alucard: it must be some manner of artificial being an android an ACTUAL android not a cyborg cyborgs are still partially organic and thus would be picked up as such.

Adonis: Androids? this just keeps getting weirder.

Carter: Watch your backs out there, Carter out.

Carter's disappears from the screen.

Lyra: got it, managed to bring up a map of the area you might have better luck sneaking in through these tunnels under the city, seems to be part of some old system of catacombs. but you must be sneaky at least until that nuke is not a threat anymore. And I have the specs of the nuke here Carter meant it when he said it was a city destroyer.. nothing would remain.

Adonis: SHEESH, no pressure... okay I see the route on the map here let's move out.

Alucard: im staying up here to keep an eye out once you guys are in the tunnel tho I'll follow.

Adonis: Roger that, move out team.. quietly.

the video screens and map display blink off clearing the team's view they stick to the shadows and move through the occupied city.
