"Commander Wayne, what do you suggest we do? I can't really bring myself to hurt Ryan. There has to be an explanation." Altro said.
"Beta never lies, Altro.." Ivory said and crossed her arms.
"Ivory is right. Her IQ is higher than even some of the best geniuses of Earth. Beta was built to be 100% and we all know it was Ryan. He's no longer human for what he did. He's a cold blooded monster now. It is my job and your job while being a member of the Azure Host Agency to eliminate any supernatural being." Wayne said as he looked at his board.
"Commander.." Altro said.
"No buts, Altro! You heard the commander! There's nothing you can do about this unless you're saying you'd betray us for a monster.." Trixie said and her eyes shined.
Altro stood down as he didn't want to face off against two of the most powerful beings of the Agency. He sighed softly and walked off. Ivory followed behind then comforted him by gently rubbing his back.
"He's my best friend...I can't bring myself to bring him any form of harm..." Altro said.
"I know, but we can't betray the agency nor let Commander Wayne down. We are probably the only Supernatural Hunters there are when we aren't doing normal detective work. Now we have to find Ryan and the two chicks named Alice and Lilith. We have to move forward and complete our mission." Ivory said.
Altro sighed softly and looked at Ivory. "I know...but it hurts. I've known Ryan since middle school and now we have to kill him. This isn't easy for me and you know this."
"I know, however we can't do anything more about this. All we can do is find Ryan and carry out our mission." Ivory said then walked off.
Altro watched her and sighed softly. He followed her. "I guess so..."

Alice, Lilith, and I walked down an alleyway then entered an abandoned building used for training purposes. I noticed a man training another Vampire. There were other vampires in the area there to watch.
"Well well, the Alucard Twins~ How are you two lovely babes doing..~" A golden hair vampire said as he wrapped his arms around their waist. He went in to kiss Alice's neck
Alice elbowed his guy and he grunted. She pushed him off her. "Sorry, Sun, but we're taken."
"Oh please you call that hospitalized failure a boyfriend? Your standards are rather low." Sun said and held his stomach.
"We're with someone new. A better man someone who's a Vampiric Ghoul." Alice said.
"Who might that be?" Sun asked.
"The man you ignored." I said.
Sun looked back at me then looked at Alice and Lilith. He bursted out laughing and placed his hand on my shoulder. "You can't be serious. You smell like a human, how you made it through the sensors is beyond me! I didn't know they allowed human comedians here."
"Human? No he's a Vampiric Ghoul." Lilith said and placed a hand on her hip.
"No need to cover up for him. If he was a Ghoul like you claim, you wouldn't mind if he goes into a little sparring match against me right?" Sun asked.
"C'mon Sun, leave him alone! He was just converted a day ago! We are here for our Guardian and NOT you! We don't want you so leave us alone!" Alice yelled.
"Always going after the humans huh? Your taste in men are pathetic. If he were a true converted Ghoul, wouldn't he have the eyes of one?" Sun asked and looked at me. He heard Coco and Scout growling at him.
"How cute, you got your doggies with you? Are they your little support animals?" Sun laughed then pushed me. "Get out of here, kid. You don't know what exactly you're getting yourself into."
For some reason I couldn't activate my powers at will. Because of that Sun couldn't tell that I was actually a Vampiric Ghoul.
Lilith held my arm and looked at me. "Ryan...what's the matter..? Why aren't you showing him your power?"
"I can't.." I said.
"What do you mean you can't?" Alice asked.
I pulled Alice toward me. "I can't awaken that side of me again..! Like I physically can't do it, I don't know how..!"
"Oh crap..." Alice said.
"Oh crap indeed. He's not a full Vampire like the other guy...we can't just let him go though. We—" Lilith started.
"Blood, Flesh! We need to get him some—"
"Both of you calm down." I said and looked at them. "I just can't awaken my powers at will. That's all."
"That's a problem though...you do still hang on to your humanity so that monster inside can't fully come out." Alice said.
"So how do I bring out that side of me?" I asked.
"Vampires mainly activate their powers through fighting. Maybe if you spar with our Guardian—"
"HA! He won't even last three seconds! This punk fighting against Astaroth? Yeah alright, if he can last a full minute against me, I'll let him train with our Guardian." Sun said.
'The fuck is his problem..?' I thought to myself.
"Fine." I said.
Sun chuckled and walked by me, bumping my shoulder. "Let's go, Human."
Lilith and Alice looked at each other then at me. I looked at them and sighed softly. We began to follow Sun.

We stopped inside an abandoned subway station. It was cold and gloomy here. I could heard the water droplets hit the ground every few seconds.
"Let's make a little wager, Human." Sun started.
"My name is Ryan." I said.
Sun stared at me then scoffed. "Alright, Ryan. Let's make a little deal. If you last a full minute against me, I'll leave you alone. If you fail, I'll be taking Alice and Lilith for myself~"
"Ew!" Alice said from the sidelines.
"Yeah, we don't want you! Ryan is the one we like and actually want, you prick!" Lilith said.
"Anyway, do you agree to the circumstances?" Sun asked.
"It isn't like I have a choice." I said and sighed.
"Good, now come at me.." Sun smirked and got into his fighting stance.
I got into mine and stared at Sun. I studied him a bit and ran toward him. I started off with a straight punch, but he easily dodged me then ducked under my right hook. I spun around, going for a spinning kick. He caught my leg and spun around then threw me. I groaned as I hit my back against a metal pole.
"Come on Ryan! Get up!" Alice yelled.
"Yeah! Please! Get up and keep fighting!" Lilith called out to me.
Coco and Scout barked and howled.
I slowly stood up and coughed. I walked forward then ran forward and went for a sweeping kick, but Sun evaded my attack then grabbed my shirt and punched my face. He struck my stomach then chopped my neck. I groaned and stumbled then grunted as he hit me with a left hook. He appeared in front of me then thrusted his hand through my stomach.
Lilith gasped and covered her mouth. "R-Ryan..!"
"Sun! What the hell?! Why did you do that?!" Alice yelled.
Sun took his hand out of my body and let me fall. He licked my blood off his hands and chuckled. "Mmm..~ Well he does have delicious blood. I might feast on him later.."
Lilith noticed Sun walking towards them. "Coco! Scout!"
Coco howled and ran toward Sun. She lunged at him and tried to bite him. Sun smacked Coco to the side and she whined loudly. Scout barked and rushed toward Sun then whined loudly as he was kicked away.
Alice spread her wings and rushed toward Sun. "You didn't have to kill him you bastard!"
Alice punched Sun's cheek and groaned as he struck her stomach. He grabbed her wrist and began to apply pressure on it. She groaned in pain and hissed.
'Losing blood fast...I need blood...' I thought to myself.
Alice groaned as she was slammed against the wall. "Let..me...go..!"
"I've always liked you, Alice...you were always the better one between you and Lilith. The fact you would choose a human over me to become the next head of the Alucard Bloodline.." Sun said and began to slowly raise her dress.
"Let my sister go!" Lilith yelled and flew toward Sun only to get countered and slammed into the wall.
'Blood...I need blood..' I thought to myself and slowly began to get up.
"Both of you belong to me now..." Sun said and chuckled darkly.
"Blood..!" I said and golden veins formed around my eyes. "Flesh...! I need it!"
Alice and Lilith looked surprised and grunted as they felt destructive energy rushing across my body. They grew excited and their bodies tingled.
Sun let them go and looked at me. "So you have enough strength to stand huh? I see they were telling the truth...but your eyes."
I grunted and my silver eyes shined brightly. I began to grow feral. I began to go berserk as my blood lust took over my body. I let out a savage yell and wings of dark energy emerged from my back. I flew spread them and fired blades of dark energy at Sun. He grunted and shielded himself with a barrier of fire.
I ran toward him and my wings disappeared then black tentacles were manifested from my lower back. "Give me your blood!"
Sun grunted as he dodged my punch then groaned as I kneed his stomach. One of my tentacles smacked him away and he crashed through a partition. I yelled and my tentacles turned into blades and I launched them at Sun.
'What is up with this guy..?!' Sun though to himself as he dodged my tentacles.
He dashed toward me and went for a punch, but I dodged him and evaded his flaming swipe. I grappled Sun and thrusted my bladed tentacles through his body and began to rapidly impale him. He yelled in pain as I kept striking him.
"Stop it!! I'm dying, I'm dying!" Sun yelled in pain.
I yelled and wrapped my tentacles around his body and flung him to a wall. Sun groaned and slid down on the ground. I walked toward him and noticed Sun getting up. I thrusted my tentacle through his chest and he fell limp.
"Did he kill him..?" Alice asked in shock.
"Sun has the power of a Phoenix unfortunately so he's gonna come back to life..unless he eats his heart." Lilith said.
I made it to Sun and got on the ground then grabbed him then took a bite out of his shoulder and began feeding upon his flesh. I finished satisfying my hunger and stood up, wiping my lips.
I walked away from his body and walked toward Alice and Lilith. "Let's go."
Alice and Lilith smiled at me then Coco and Scout hurried toward me. They hopped up on me and seemed happy that I was okay. The five of us walked off and went back to the training building.

Altro and Ivory sat in Altro's unit and waited for Wayne to contact them about new information. Ivory looked out the window and sighed.
"I can't get the idea of killing Ryan out of my head. I don't know if I can even do it. Commander said he was like some type of Ghoul now because of the way he ate flesh. He said he needs it to survive now.." Altro said.
Ivory was silent and closed her eyes. "I don't want to kill him either."
"You've always had a bit of a crush on him didn't you..?" Altro asked and chuckled.
Ivory blushed and sighed loudly to drown out the sound of Altro's voice. She heard her phone beeping. She looked at it and pressed a button on Beta. "Detective Ivory speaking."
"Ivory. Altro. We found the locations of the monsters. Using the samples from Officer Jenkins, we were able to trace where Ryan, Lilith, and Alice went. They are in a Division known as Alucard District. We go there tomorrow morning...we kill all three." Wayne said.
"Right." Ivory said.
"Cast aside your personal feelings. He is no longer human. He is no longer one of us. He is a monster now. Our world has no place for Monsters." Wayne said then hung up.
Altro closed his eyes and sighed. "I wish there was another way. We don't have to kill them...right?"
"I don't know..." Ivory said and sounded upset. She rolled down her window and sparked up a cigarette. "Let's just go before he has something more to say."
"Right..." Altro said.
