Int. The Obsidian Nightclub (Afternoon) October 27, 2025, 12:30 P.M.
Alucard looked at Nadia, before looking at Gabriel. He held Nadia up by her arm looking in the face, his forming a mischievous smile. Nadia tried to spit in his face,but Alucard was quick enough to dodge it. He held up his right hand, wagging a finger as if chastising a child. Alucard leaned in close to Nadia's "Think fast," he joked before tossing Nadia over his shoulder at him.
Gabriel saw Nadia's body spinning through the air as it zoomed towards him. "FUCCCCCKKKKK YOOUUUUUUU," Nadia screamed, her body spinning through the air. Gabriel threw his right hand out, using his mind to think of how to grow his hand. Out of Gabriel's hand, a white light circled before expanding out, forming a giant white hand that shot out at Nadia, catching her in the air.
Gabriel made sure as soon as Nadia hit the giant hand, he pulled his actual arm back, doing his best to absorb as much of the force as he could. "Honestly, I'm shocked that it worked," Gabriel shouted, seemingly childlike with the way he was jumping on his toes in place. Gabriel continued to want the giant hand to come back to him, and once it was close, it gently set Nadia on her feet in front of him. The hand turned into light particles before disappearing. Gabriel was visibly vibrating in place, until he turned around and noticed Nadia stepping close to him. Gabriel's excitement was tempered a little bit by the way Nadia was looking at him, the visible white circling around his body took on a red tinge as he looked around in embarrassment. "What?" he asked her, trying to figure out why she was staring at him.
Nadia didn't answer for a second, still just eyeing him, her staring becoming even more intense, her eyes narrowing. The stare made him uncomfortable, making him take a small step back when she stepped closer, still staring into his eyes. "You amaze me, Mr. Grumpy pants, I thought you were a normal human like everyone but your powers. It's different, you're different, special almost.," she said, her voice low, barely audible by Gabriel. Gabriel was stunned by her response, not really knowing what to say. His aura grew a brighter red as he shifted from foot to foot, the feeling of being awkward once again growing strong.
A loud throat clearing echoed around the room, even above the music playing. "If you two love birds are done flirting, can we continue the fight please? But seriously, no rush, take your time guys." Alucard's amused voice cut through the tension between the two. Gabriel jumped away from Nadia the red turning a brief pink before going back to red. Focusing back on the fight he looked above Nadia's head and saw Alucard standing there looking at them smiling, his hands on his hips as if patiently waiting for them.
Nadia turned around slowly. Gabriel could feel that she was angry about something, but didn't really understand why. "Thank you for patiently oh so kindly for us." she sneered her lip curling.
"Sigh if none of you will make the next then don't mind if I will," Gabriel heard Alucard mutter under his breath. For a split second Alucard leaned forward faster than what the two could see and he disappeared.
Gabriel blinked and found Alucard standing in between him and Nadia. "Duck, down and left", a voice said in his head. Gabriel listening was able to dodge to the side, avoiding the grab attempt at his head, while Nadia backflipped out of Alucard's reach. Gabriel's red aura turned white, the energy dying not shining as bright as it once was. Alucard quickly threw a side kick at Gabriel, the kick sounding like a gun from how hard he kicked the air. Gabriel barely got his arms in an X shape in front of him in time to block it. A sharp pain went through his entire forearms, which went numb as Gabriel's body went flying through the air, his back sliding on the ground for a few feet before slowing down. Before Gabriel could get his bearings, "LOOK UP", the voice yelled once again. Gabriel looked at Alucard's foot coming at his face. Luckily Gabriel was able to roll to the right, dodging the downward kick that left a small crack in the dance floor. Gabriel pushed himself off his stomach, attempting to do a leg sweep that Alucard stepped back from. Even though Gabriel missed, he was able to use the momentum from the spin to get himself back to his feet.
Gabriel and Alucard stared at each other, Gabriel being slightly out of breath. Alucard didn't give him a chance to recover, already jumping up in the air doing a spinning back kick. Gabriel willed the white energy to come forth, using it to quickly call up a small shield to cover his forearms this time, not wanting them to be sore like before. Once the kick landed, a small force expanded outwards from the two due to the strength Alucard used. Gabriel watched as Alucard kicked off the shield before landing back on the ground. All of this happened within a span of a couple of seconds. Gabriel glanced down at his forearms and saw the shields still there, perfectly intact. Alucard's deep silky voice breaking through his thoughts. "The fact you can keep up with me at thirty percent, albeit with me not wanting to permanently injure you... You interest me, mortal," he admitted, staring at Gabriel.
Gabriel felt uncomfortable with everyone staring at him recently, just plain strange to him instead of them talking or something similar. Gabriel made a white ring form in his hand, it appearing similar to a frisbee with a sharper edge. Gabriel ran at Alucard, wanting to take the fight to him this time instead of being put on the defensive. Gabriel drew his arm back before throwing the disk as fast as he could, though to his disappointment, Alucard easily dodged it. Holding out both hands, he formed more disks and kept throwing them as he got close to Alucard. To Gabriel's eye, Alucard was leaving afterimages with how fast his speed was at dodging.
"DON'T FORGET ABOUT ME, YOU FUCKER!" Nadia's voice called from the air as she came flying down fast with a spinning kick.
Gabriel stopped throwing discs and formed small fingerless gloves with spikes on it around his hands. Alucard spun out of the way of the kick, allowing Nadia to hit the ground. Gabriel reached Alucard as he spun, trying to throw a punch and catching him off guard, but Alucard easily parried the attack, making Gabriel overextend. Taking advantage of Gabriel being off balance, Alucard tried to knee him in the stomach. Luckily, Gabriel was able to get both hands up to block the attack, his gloves absorbing the attack. Nadia tried hitting Alucard with a hook kick, forcing him to lean back away from Gabriel. Nadia followed up with a spinning backfist that Alucard blocked with his left forearm. Gabriel threw a punch that caught Alucard off guard with a blow to the face, the sound of sizzling in the air as Alucard's face began to smoke from the holy energy hitting him.
Gabriel looked at his hand, shocked that he was actually able to land a solid blow on him. "Wooooo, good job, Grumpy pants," Nadia cheered as she came to his side with a smile on her face.
Gabriel didn't know what to say, so he awkwardly looked down at her. "Thanks," he mumbled, though he felt slightly proud of himself for being able to finally hold his own in the fight.
"WOOHOOOOO," Alucard chuckled. Gabriel looked at his face, watching the burnt skin heal, becoming white like porcelain once again. Even the dust that was on his outfit was removed, and honestly, it was kind of a neat trick, Gabriel had to admit to himself. "You, my boy, ah, I'm so excited to see the growth you'll eventually get," Alucard finished, his lips forming a big grin, his hands behind his back as he looked at Gabriel.
Nadia and Gabriel shared a look but didn't relax their guards as they both entered stances, awaiting his next move. "Now now, none of that. Let's call this fight a draw, yeah," Alucard mused, walking slowly towards the duo. "Heck, I even forgive you for killing my subordinate. Let's call us even," he shrugged.
Gabriel had to hold Nadia back as she went to go charge at Alucard. "I'll show you playing around, you lousy bloodsucker," She screamed.
Gabriel had a huge sweat drop on his head, as he had a look of annoyance on his face. "Sorry about her, it's been a long day for us so far."
"It matters not. Living for as long as I have, you learn how to curb lesser emotions like getting annoyed," Alucard replied, taking another sip from the glass in his hands. "How about this, I'll give you my card, Mr. Gabriel, and you give me a call later for that conversation." Reaching into his pants pocket before throwing the card at Gabriel.
Gabriel quickly caught the card in his hand, all while looking at the grinning vampire. "I have a suspicion that you're trying your best to kick us out of here."
"Like I said, I owe Blake a favor or two," Alucard explained once again, glancing down at his wrist, pretending there is a watch there. "By my estimations, and from what I can sense, Blake should be slowly dying from his wounds right now. If I were you, I'd go save his life right about now."
Gabriel's face lost color as he heard those words. He quickly jumped over the counter and ran out the door that he saw Blake and Mark leave out of earlier, Nadia hot on his heels. "This isn't over, Alucard," he shouted over his shoulder before the door shut.
"I wouldn't dream of it," came the reply.
