Thread: The Alchemists (Start-Up)

"Vampires." Lysander repeated. "That thing was far from it, my friend."

Jaden banished his shadow tentacles back to where they came from before dusting off his hands,"So...anybody
here care to explain what exactly that thing was?" He pointed to the dead beast.

"Huh, well, nice to meet ya Bell. Name's Kevin. How do you plan on hunting vampires with a whip?" Kevin asked as he began to lean on the wall.

"It don't matter much what it is now I spose, now it's just dead. Ain't much now but food for the maggots." Kevin said to Jaden and Lysander.

Jaden nodded slowly,"I guess you have a point.." He walked over and leaned on the wall as well,"By the way, name's Jaden, thanks for the hand
back there."

"I didn't help much to be completely honest. By the time I arrived the show was almost over. How did ya kids end up in such a lovely place as this?" Kevin said, pointing to the dead tentacle monster to emphasize the sarcasm in his voice when he said 'lovely place'.

"The name's Lysander, nice to meet you. How did we end up here? Work. That's a possible answer."

"I got kidnapped for no obvious reason. Just their luck that I am who I am." Norbert said destroying his mini black hole which went out with a nasty bang.

"Lysander huh? Nice to meet ya too. It is a possible answer I spose but not a very interestin one. Y'all kids either need more interesting lives or need to learn how to lie better." Kevin replied nonchalantly to Lysander.

"That's touching and all, but I think ya better save your blackhole power thing for Count Spookula stead of showing off since I doubt he's gonna be very happy bout us killing his pet." Kevin then told Norbert.

"Now are we just gonna jack round for a couple more hours or are we actually gonna go and kill the Vampire already?" Kevin said, hinting a taste of contempt in his voice.

"W-what!? Vampires!" Snapped Shizuka and Elesa Maria.

"Didn't that one chick say Dracula lived here? Are you sure we can tak-" David said, but was then hit upside the head by Bell's whip.

"You kids should go and leave the vampire slaying to the professionals!" The man said, flexing his muscles.

"Listen bub, If i can kill a horde of demons. One lil vampire isn't going to be too hard." Senri said as he twirled on pistol in his right hand.

Jaden nodded in agreement with Senri,"Yeah. Not to sound overconfident but I'm not gonna turn tail and run
away from this. I'm no coward, I plan to stay and fight whatever's waiting for us in here and nobody is gonna
tell me otherwise."

"Whatever, if ya get yourself killed, it ain't my fault." Kevin replied to the bearded man.

"I think it's high time we actually got moving. If you're such a 'professional', I spose ya wouldn't mind leading us to em will ya? Or is Mr. 'Professional' lost?"

"Dracula is the vampire." Bell said. "He's the strongest vampire that ever existed. There's a reason his castle only opens during the full moon."

He started walking through the halls, picking his fingernail with a knife.

"You can tag along if you want. Just stay out of my way." He said.

"I thought Dracula was just a story made up to scare little kids at night?" Kevin asked as he followed the bearded man.
