Lupin suddenly appeared, and now Fiona, Daisy, and Sophie must find a way to stop him. But how are they supposed to do it?
Fiona: "Damn…"
Remy: "Fiona… what is that?"
Fiona: "Lupin. A being from the Grimoire of Oz, from the Grimoire of Beings. He is one of the strongest monsters of the Abyss. But I did not know he was this huge."
Remy: "About… ten meters tall?"
Fiona: "No… twenty meters tall."
Meanwhile
Daisy: "Come on, we must hurry."
Rosika: "Hahh… hahhh…"
Meanwhile
Tom Fog: "I guess I have to get serious and hurry."
Meanwhile
Remy: "But where did this creature come from?"
Fiona: "How should I know? I was in spirit form. You were here."
Remy: "Ugh… well… suddenly we noticed how the light dimmed. It became weaker."
Memory
Remy: "Do not worry, she will wake up soon."
Melina: "Hmm… huh… the light…"
Remy: "Hmm? Strange. Did the clouds cover the moonlight?"
Melina: "Huh…"
She stared out the window in shock.
Remy: "What is it?"
Melina: "Look… over there."
Remy: "Ughhh…"
A huge dark being made of shadows. The head rested on its chest, and several hands floated in the air.
Remy: "Huh…"
Melina: "What is that…"
Fiona: "Ugh!"
End of memory
Remy: "You woke up a few minutes after it appeared."
Fiona: "I see… I must quickly talk with the Dark Umbrella."
She searched for a phone, found one, and called number 411.
Ringing
Ms Valentine: "Hello?"
Fiona: "Hello Ms Valentine."
Ms Valentine: "Ugh… Fiona, there you are. I was worried."
Fiona: "Lupin has appeared."
Ms Valentine: "I know. I just heard about it. What is the situation?"
Fiona: "A giant shadow figure wants to destroy the entire city. I do not think we can hold out much longer. Do you have any idea how to defeat that thing?"
Ms Valentine: "Daisy Williams is on the way. Also Tom Fog… your mentor."
Fiona: "What… him? I understand. I assume we must distract that thing until he arrives."
Ms Valentine: "Exactly."
Fiona: "Okay."
Ms Valentine: "Where is Sophie? I thought she was with you."
Fiona: "She is with Ulita. I will go to them quickly. I must go."
Ms Valentine: "Take care."
Fiona: "Okay."
She hung up.
Remy: "Hmm?"
Fiona: "We must quickly go back to Ulita. Remy, come with me. Otherwise it is dangerous. Wait… where is Casper?"
Remy: "Ah… him. He is in his depression phase and stayed in the hotel. He is sleeping. I think even this would not wake him up."
Fiona: "That is probably for the best. Let us go."
They left the house.
Lupin: "Hhhhh… finally I have my body again. You fools. In the name of my father, Lord Oz, I will show you true fear. The guardians are not as strong as I am. Wahahahahaha… huh?"
He looked down and saw Ulita's castle.
Lupin: "First I will deal with you."
The hands attacked the house and destroyed it.
Lupin: "Hehehehe… Ulita… what do you say now? Hahahahaha… huh?"
He saw that there were no bodies.
Lupin: "Interesting… hehehe."
Meanwhile
Remy: "Wait Fiona."
Fiona: "What?"
Remy: "Do you have a plan to stop him?"
Fiona: "No. I must distract him until my former mentor Tom Fog arrives."
Remy: "No, Fiona. Stop letting the Dark Umbrella put you in danger."
Melina: "Huh…"
Fiona: "It is my job, Remy. We cannot allow innocent people to die. I will deal with him. I must distract him."
Remy: "And what if he catches you?"
Fiona: "Then I will be dead."
Remy: "Ghhhh…"
Suddenly he grabbed Fiona's arm and threw her into the open door of a cellar. Remy had already noticed it and wanted to throw her there.
Melina: "No, what are you doing?"
Fiona: "What is that supposed to mean, Remy?"
Remy pulled out a pistol.
Melina: "Huh…"
Remy: "I cannot allow you to put yourself in danger again."
Fiona: "Remy… normal bullets do not work on me."
Remy: "I know. But it will keep you here."
Fiona ran toward him.
Remy: "Ghh…"
Fiona: "Stop this nonsense, Remy."
Bang
He shot at her leg.
Fiona: "Urk… damn it!"
She fell down.
Melina: "Huh… Miss Fiona…"
She ran down the stairs to help her.
Fiona: "Ghh… aaaaaaaaaaargh… Remy…"
He closed the door and took Fiona's staff, which she dropped when he pushed her, and used it to lock the door.
Melina: "Miss Fiona…"
Fiona: "Urk…"
While Fiona was in the cellar with Melina, Remy felt a little guilty.
Remy: "Damn… I hope I did not hit her too badly."
He threw the pistol away and walked off.
Remy: "Sorry, Fiona."
Meanwhile
Sophie: "Hahhh… hahhh… are you alright?"
Ulita: "Yes."
Manja: "Ghhh…"
Sophie: "We are safe in the cellar here. Can we leave without him seeing us?"
Manja: "Yes. There is a door that leads to a safe underground path built for war."
Sophie: "Good. Take me there. Come with me."
She nodded and they followed her.
Manja: "This door here."
Sophie: "Okay."
They opened it. It was a deep passage.
Manja: "Creepy."
Sophie: "Still better than Lupin the shadow giant. Let us get out of here quickly."
They went down. They could hear police sirens.
Sophie: "Ah… those idiots. They have no chance."
Manja: "Huh?"
Sophie: "There will be more victims than we expected. Damn it. When will these people realize they are not capable of fighting this?"
Suddenly she heard Melina's voice.
Melina: "Miss Fiona, are you alright?"
Ulita: "Is that Melina's voice?"
Manja: "Yes… but it does not sound good."
Melina: "Help!"
Sophie: "Ghh…"
She ran toward the sound and found a hidden door. She kicked it open and went upstairs.
Sophie: "Ugh… Melina… Fiona… huh?"
Fiona: "Ghhh…"
Sophie: "Huh!"
Melina: "Miss Sophie, please help her."
She went to Fiona.
Sophie: "What is wrong? Why is it not healing?"
Fiona: "Ghhh… it will… be fine…"
Sophie: "Who shot you?"
Melina: "Ugh…"
Fiona: "Someone from the Moths thought we wanted to kill him."
Melina: "Huh…"
Fiona stood up.
Fiona: "See… it is healed."
Sophie: "Hmm…"
Fiona: "It still hurts a little."
Then she fell to the floor.
Sophie: "Just stay there until you are fully healed."
Fiona: "Hahh… okay… but meanwhile a giant shadow monster is about to kill innocent people."
Sophie: "You cannot do anything like this. Calm down first."
Fiona: "Alright… I contacted the Dark Umbrella."
Sophie: "Oh?"
Fiona: "Tom… Fog… will come."
Sophie: "What… are you crazy? Van Hellsing is coming!"
Fiona: "Yes… exactly. The half vampire. The nightmare of every vampire and every monster. Whatever you do, Sophie, he must not see you. He will kill you."
Sophie: "Why me?"
Fiona: "He hates you. Probably because Daisy told him how you bullied both of us. And believe me, when it comes to his students, he kills anyone. Also, if you see him nearby, be careful not to fall into his gaze."
Sophie: "Hahh…"
Fiona: "One more thing. You may have cursed power, but even some cursed people feel his power so strongly that they start vomiting or even faint when he wears one of the three masks."
This is Tom Fog's ability. The masks. Three masks, also called the Three Hellsing Masks. The first is the Mask of Gluttony, the second the Mask of Shadow, and the third the mask called The Joker.
Sophie: "Each of the three masks?"
Fiona: "No. Only the Mask of Gluttony. Do not look into his eyes unless you want to be torn apart."
Sophie: "Oh… that reminds me. He is Van Hellsing and you were his assistant. Were you not in love with him?"
Fiona blushes slightly.
Fiona: "Hahh… damn it… was that necessary? Does everyone know that?"
Sophie: "No."
Fiona: "Yes… I had feelings for him. He and Master Meliodas saved my life. Meliodas treated me like a father, and Tom Fog treated me like a close friend."
Sophie: "Hmm… is he really that handsome?"
Fiona: sweating "You realize we are in a serious situation, right? For some reason Lupin is not attacking yet. Oh, by the way, Daisy is also coming. She should already be in Eager Brünn."
Sophie: "Oh…"
Fiona: "Go find her. Contact her. I know you two do not like each other, but there is no time for that. I will follow you."
Sophie: "Fine, fine. You stay here. Manja, you stay with Ulita."
Manja: "Agreed."
Sophie left the cellar. She hit the door several times so the staff fell and the door opened.
Sophie: "Here is your staff."
She threw it to Fiona but it hit her head.
Crash
Fiona: "Ouch!"
Sophie: "Oops, sorry."
Fiona: "It is fine… I was not paying attention."
Sophie: "No, you were always bad at catching things. So do not throw your baby if you become a mother."
Fiona: "Nugh!"
She left the cellar.
Melina: "Oh… Miss Fiona, I did not know you were married."
Fiona: "I am not married, Melina!"
Suddenly an earthquake.
Ulita: "What is happening now?"
Fiona: "It is probably time. Lupin is getting serious."
Lupin: "Hahahahahahaha!"
His laughter grew louder.
Lupin: "Shadow figures!"
He struck the ground.
Crash
Several shadow creatures appeared and attacked people.
Screams
Civilian: "Help… help…"
Suddenly the shadow creature was attacked.
Civilian: "Huh?"
It was Daisy.
Daisy: "Go. Run."
Civilian: "Huh… you are a cursed one. Damn you. This must be your doing."
Daisy: "If that were true, why did I just save your ugly ass? Now go before I change my mind."
He ran away.
Daisy: "Hahh… normal people and their stupidity."
Yes, Daisy hates non cursed people. Probably because her parents were killed by one.
Rosika: "My goodness, Miss Williams."
Daisy: "Why Miss Williams now? Call me Daisy like always. Damn… he is made of shadow. How are we supposed to defeat something like that?"
She took off her jacket. Under it she wore a T shirt.
Daisy: "Evacuate the people quickly. Children have priority."
Rosika: "Huh? Only children? What about the women?"
Daisy: "Hehehe… dear, I do not like that idea of children and women first. Women are adults too. Children first, but evacuate the others as well."
Rosika: "Okay."
Rosika ran off.
Daisy: "A shadow being. My plants cannot help here. All we can do is distract him until then… hmm?"
She looked around. Dead police officers lay on the ground.
Daisy: "So many dead already… damn it."
The shadows appeared again.
Daisy: "There you are."
Roots came out of her veins and her eyes turned dark green.
Daisy: "Let us dance."
Meanwhile
Tom Fog: "This is better."
Tom Fog sat with his back on a flying creature. It was dark and looked like a dolphin.
Tom Fog: "Hold on, Daisy… Fiona… I will be there soon."
Meanwhile
Sophie: "Huh! There she is."
Sophie saw Daisy fighting the shadows.
Daisy: "Ghhhh…"
Every time she hit them they disappeared.
Daisy: "Damn it… huh?"
She turned around and saw Sophie standing there.
Daisy: "Well, look who we have here."
Sophie: "Daisy… long time no see."
Daisy: "Not long enough. So you are really here. Where is Fiona?"
Sophie: "She is badly injured. She needs time before she comes."
Daisy: "Hahhh… where is my brother?"
Sophie: "He is in the cellar with her."
Daisy: "I see… you are actually caring. Hmph. Right now we have bigger problems than our past."
They looked up. Lupin was multiplying the shadow creatures.
Lupin: "Only a matter of time until I can unleash the shadow of despair. I will destroy this city completely. Oh… what do we have there? Cursed ones. Hahahaha. You cannot defeat me. I am a shadow. How could you defeat me? Hahahahaha."
The four floating hands attacked Sophie and Daisy.
Daisy: "Ugh."
Sophie: "Huh!"
Daisy dodged and carried Sophie in her arms.
Daisy: "Tsss."
Sophie: "Um…"
Daisy: "Shut up, okay. I am not so cruel that I would let you die. If anyone gets to kill you, it will be me."
Sophie: "Ugh… okay."
Daisy: "Hold on tight."
A flower appeared and she jumped on it.
Boing
It launched them forward.
Daisy: "Puh."
Sophie: "Watch out."
The hands attacked again. Daisy dodged them.
Daisy: "It drives me crazy that he is made of shadows."
Two of the hands suddenly changed their target.
Daisy: "Huh?"
Sophie: "Look over there. That is Fiona."
Fiona came out.
Fiona: "Hahh… I can move again… huh?"
Two hands appeared and tried to attack her.
Fiona dodged.
Fiona: "Ghhh… he noticed me quickly."
Crane: "Fiona, I think you should hide."
Fiona: "I cannot. I must distract him until Tom Fog arrives."
Lupin: "I am tired of this. Hehe… my shadows have eaten enough. Time to use the shadow of despair."
He moved into the city.
Daisy: "Huh!"
Sophie: "Ugh."
Fiona: "Ughhh."
A wave of shadow spread across the entire city.
Sophie: "Urk… ghhhh."
Daisy: "What is this… ugh."
It drained their strength.
Fiona: "Urk… ghhhhh."
Daisy and Sophie fell to the ground.
Fiona: "Ghhhh… ugh… hhhh."
She fell as well.
Fiona: "I cannot breathe… hahhh…"
Suddenly the shadow began to disappear.
Lupin: "Huh? Hey… what is this?"
Fiona: "Mmm… huh… ugh…"
Tom Fog: "Huh… puh… just in time. Actually I did not want to hurry because I am still exhausted, but whatever."
Fiona: "M… Master…"
Tom Fog: "Hello Fiona. Long time no see."
Lupin: "You…"
The shadows attacked him, but he stretched out his hand and swallowed them with it.
Lupin: "What…"
Tom Fog: "Hahh… I guess it is time. Fiona, find Daisy and Sophie and leave this place. You did a great job."
Fiona: "Okay… okay."
She stood up and left.
Tom Fog: "And you, Lupin… I am your opponent now."
He took out a mask and put it on.
Tom Fog: "The Joker."
Suddenly he moved like a tornado.
Tom Fog: "Juhu! What do we have here? A giant shadow figure. Hahahaha. This will be fun."
Lupin: "What? Are you making fun of me?"
He threw a wagon at him.
Tom Fog: "Oops! Aaaaaaargh!"
His eyes popped out of his face like in a cartoon. He turned around and pulled on his tie. His backside grew huge and blocked the wagon.
Boing
Weeeee
Crash
Tom Fog: "Phew. Good thing my backside is this amazing."
Lupin: "You stupid bastard!"
He attacked him several times with his hands.
Tom Fog: "Whoops!"
Boing
Whoosh
Boing
He kept dodging while cartoon sounds played.
Tom Fog: "Someone is angry."
Lupin roared.
Tom Fog laughed.
He pulled something out.
It was a cannon. He climbed inside it and lit it himself.
Tom Fog: "1… 3… 2!"
Weeee
He launched himself toward Lupin.
Tom Fog: "Alright… time to get serious."
He removed the mask and took another one.
Tom Fog: "Mask of Gluttony."
He transformed again. He formed a triangle shape with his hands and an eye appeared.
Lupin: "Ugh… what kind of power is that?"
Tom Fog: "It is over, Lupin!"
He opened his coat. In his stomach were several mouths. They opened and began pulling Lupin toward them.
Lupin: "What… what is this… hey… hey…"
Tom Fog: "And now… Eye of Destruction!"
A huge eye appeared and completely destroyed Lupin.
Crash
Lupin: "Aaaaaaaaaaargh… nooooo…"
He disappeared. Tom Fog landed on the ground.
Tom Fog: "Puh."
Daisy: "Hahh… Master!"
Tom Fog: "Huh? Oh… Daisy. Long time no see."
She opened her arms, closed her eyes, and made kissing noises.
Daisy: "Come here."
Tom Fog stopped her with one hand.
Daisy: "Aww, Master…"
Tom Fog: "Stop joking, Daisy."
She pouted.
Tom Fog: "Hmm… you must be Sophie."
Sophie: "Ugh… um… no… I… will… just leave."
Tom Fog: "No, no. Stay here."
Sophie: "Ghh… yes sir."
Tom Fog: "You treated my student quite badly… but that is in the past."
Sophie: "Huh?"
Daisy: "Hahh… I guess you have changed. I mean, if Fiona works with you… oh, where is she anyway?"
Meanwhile
Remy: "Hmm… I guess it is over."
Suddenly someone pushed him.
Remy: "Ouch… ugh… Fiona."
Fiona: "You bastard!"
Remy: "Hey… calm down."
Fiona: "Remy… I will never forgive you. I never want to see you again."
Remy: "Ugh… what?"
Fiona: "Ghhh…"
Blood appeared.
Remy: "You are still bleeding. I thought you healed yourself."
Fiona: "Tsss."
Remy: "Ghh."
Fiona: "Yes… exactly… and it does not really heal."
She let go of him.
Fiona: "Ghhh… damn idiot."
Remy: "Fiona… I am sorry."
Fiona: "Do not touch me. Because of you I could barely do anything. You interfered with my work. We are not friends anymore. Now get out of my sight."
She walked away.
Remy: "Ugh…"
Fiona: "Go spend time with the other women like you always do."
She disappeared, and Remy looked desperate.
Remy: "Damn…"
