Chapter 62 - The Angel in the Garden

Schaffe was waiting later that night at the old abandoned church where he fought Jonathan years ago. This was now a meeting spot for him, Jonathan, and Alucard. He sees them walk in.

 "Good evening, gents," said Schaffe, who was dressed in his demon hunting attire the same as them.

 "Fool," said Jonathan.

 "You sure you want to go out tonight?" asked Alucard, trying to convince him to go home.

 "Nah, in the mood to kill a demon tonight," said Schaffe.

 "Sounds, good to me," said Jonathan.

 "But are you sure?" asked Alucard, one more time.

 "Hey, he said what he wanted, I know he is getting older, and in fact, I am older than him," said Jonathan. "Just give up."

 "Well, we are immortal where he is not," said Alucard.

 "Hey man this old dog still got some tricks up his sleeves," said Schaffe.

 "It doesn't matter, He can probably kill a demon in one attack anyway," said Jonathan.

 "Alright, I guess," said Alucard.

 "How about we get to our jobs then," said Schaffe.

 "Yes, there have been strange sightings near the palace, and we are going to see what plaguing the queen," said Jonathan.

 They arrive at Buckingham Palace.

 "The Queen's home," said Schaffe.

 "Hopefully we don't wake her up or we be in big trouble," said Jonathan.

 "I will check one side and you guys get the other side," said Alucard.

 "Sounds like a plan," said Jonathan. Alucard goes and checks the other side while Schaffe and Jonathan check the gardens.

 Schaffe and Jonathan were walking through the gardens.

 "Ah, feel like Jay comes here to get inspiration for our garden," said Schaffe.

 "Maybe Jay seems the type of machine where he wants things to be perfect," said Jonathan.

 "He was human at one point," said Schaffe.

 "True, I think I heard that one though," said Jonathan.

 "Hold on my friend, I hear something nearby," said Schaffe. They would hear rustling nearby and go check it out. They would see a strange but familiar creature to them. It had a long body with long limbs it had yellow gold color skin. It had a creepy-looking face, and it was eating something with its sharp-looking teeth. I have wings.

 "Strange, it feels like we've seen that thing somewhere before," said Jonathan.

 "We have it reminds me of what the ripper became," said Schaffe.

 "You, right," said Jonathan, now remembering around ten years back.

 "We have to be careful," said Schaffe. They sneak around it making sure it does not notice them, but as soon as they get around, they see what it has been eating, the corpse of a person it has killed as it still looks fresh.

 "My god," said Jonathan, with shock. It notices them and starts to attack them. Schaffe snaps his fingers on his left hand a bunch of large black energy needles appear and rain on stabbing into the creature's back. It roars in pain from the attack. Jonathan's sword starts glowing red and releases a red slash attack at the creature. It does not faze it.

 "Damn," said Schaffe.

 "Watch out!" yelled Jonathan. The Strange Creature lunges at them. They dodge out of the way but Schaffe lands on his left arm badly.

 "Shit," said Schaffe, in pain. From his left now dislocated. The Strange Creature tries to pounce on before Jonathan, gets on it, and stabs in the head from behind killing it.

 "What is this thing?" asked Jonathan.

 "I have no idea," said Schaffe. "But if this is connected to the Ripper then we are in more trouble."

 "We should get you checked out," said Jonathan. "Perhaps this can give you time to think of your future."

 "So, you are saying, I should take a back seat as well?" asked Schaffe.

 "No, you can do whatever you want the only ones I think are your children need more," said Jonathan.

 "Fair point my friend," said Schaffe. They head to London for a hospital.
