Aleera1138
The year is 1899. The place is at the Vatican in Rome, Italy.
The night before Van Helsing was sent to another part of Rome to defend the Citizens of a very nasty Ogre and had defeated him after a long struggle. His whole body ached the next morning.
"Oh, my head." He whispered as his mind was cloudy from being thrown up against a wall by the creature.
"I need a real vacation." He sighed and got out of bed and went to the bathroom to take a hot shower and change into a new set of clothes.
He walked out of the shower, changed and was about to open the door when he saw Cardinal Jinette waiting for him.
"Tis good you are up, Gabriel. Breakfast is being served, then we need to talk, my friend." The Cardinal told him and saw the frown on his friend and field agent's face.
"Do not tell me that there are more people who desperately need the help of Van Helsing, when everyone else thinks I am a murderer?" Van Helsing asked with a deep sigh.
"We will discuss business as soon as breakfast is over with, My Friend." The Cardinal told him and watched him leave to the dinning room.
Van Helsing finished what he could of breakfast that morning and headed towards the Vatican's Laboratory. He sighed when he saw Cardinal Jinette and walked over towards him.
"Good Morning." Gabriel said flatly as he looked at the projector on the wall. The night before left him still in nightmarish sleep and still could not figure out why.
"Good Morning to you, Van Helsing. You look as if you did not get any sleep." Cardinal Jinette said with a sigh as he walked over towards the table and looked up at the tall figure standing barely before him.
"Still having nightmares, I see." He added conclusively.
Van Helsing leaned over the table and sighed.
"Yeah, one could say that. So, what is it you want me to do this time?" Van Helsing asked in a stoic tone as he looked at his ring still mesmerized with it and have always wondered where he got it from. The Cardinal took notice and arched an eyebrow.
Cardinal Jinette looked over at the other man and nodded then watched the projector turn on to show a place of Egypt.
"Egypt, My Good Friend. The land of mystery and...." Cardinal Jinette looked back over at Van Helsing. "Mummies."
"There have been reports of living nightmarish corpses walking around near Cairo haunting and tormenting innocent souls. You are to go there and find out why and destroy them." Jinette said as the next picture of a young family showed up. "These are what is left of the Mohajara Royal family. The father and brother of the young lady you now see..." Jinette waited for the next picture to show up and showed him a picture of a beautiful, Egyptian Princess. " Are missing and her mother or the Princess could very well be someone's next victim. Her name is NEFERTARI, which translate to "Queen" which is appropriate for if anything happens to her mother, then she will become the new Queen of Egypt and we have to see that happen, but not before her time. You will have to keep them both safe as well as find the rest of her family if they are still alive." The Cardinal told Van Helsing as he saw the look on his face and sighed sadly.
"She does look somewhat like Anna, but in Egyptian. I know and I am sorry you have to go through this, but they called for help and only you can give it to him, My son." Jinette added as he laid a hand on his shoulder.
"Why does that not surprise me, Father?" Van Helsing asked and shook his head. "Alright, I will go straight into hell and back once again." Gabriel said and then sighed.
"So, is there anything more, I should know about before I go and see Carl?" He asked as he straighten himself up.
"No, not from me, but I am sure Friar Carl can feel you in even more and tell him he is to go with you once again this time. You will need his help and guidance like before in Translyvania." Cardinal Jinette said with a grin.
"Of course, I will tell Carl he has to go with me again. I always love to see the way his face contorts with fear and anguish." Van Helsing said in a teasing manner then walked further into the Laboratory, down the steps and stops when he sees Carl doing something rather odd with electricity. He arched an eyebrow and shook his head when one of the other Monks cried out Carl's name in pain.
"Sorry...Sorry." Carl said as he shrugged his shoulders then grinned when he saw Van Helsing coming down the steps to meet him.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh, let me guess, My Friend, No Orge." Carl said shaking his head and saw the look on Van Helsing's face.
"Alright...Alright, as usual, you are in a crabby mood, but do not worry, I have somethings here to cheer you up, My Friend." Carl said as he walked over to his personal table with all of his gizmos and gadgets.
"The latest news is that you will be heading to the land of sand. Egypt. Very Mysterious that place is and full of history." Carl said delighted as he picked up another crossbow.
"Here you will be needing this again. Please do not break or lose this one like you lost the other one, Gabriel. Let's see Mummies, very unusual assignment, so you will not be needing Holy water, Rings of Garlic, crucifixes this time, but one can never go wrong with silver stakes." Carl said as he added several small and large silver stakes into the brown leather bag for Van Helsing to take with him.
Van Helsing sighed and took the bag.
"You still have a fear of Vampires, Carl?" Gabriel asked with a grin when he saw the same canister of liquid that they had used the last time. Carl had figured out finally what it was for and it had saved him, Carl and Anna as they had to jump out of a stained glass window in Budapest. His heart ached at the memory of Anna and what he had done to her. He frowned and then shook his head.
"So, is this going with us, Carl? You know to blind my enemies or kill a herd of Charging Bulls?" Gabriel asked as he held up the canister once again in the air.
