==On 13 June 1621...
Ryan kids file a missing report in vanguard headquarters. A 23 years old girl "shakky petrona" is Missing from 3 days.
[ Ryan kids : vanguard(Sergeant]
[Shakky petrona : human]
[At the vanguard headquarters] 3:30 PM.
Ryan runs into the complaint room, panting.
Ryan: "Miss Saria, I have a missing report to file. The 3rd Rank Hawk's sister has been missing for three days!"
Saria: "Vampires?"
Ryan: "I don't know... vampires or vamphir. But it's been three days already."
Saria (angrily): "And you're telling me this now? Do you realize you're a Vanguard? Such carelessness is unacceptable!"
Ryan (with a tearful yet angry and scared expression): "Ma'am, what do I do now? How can I save her?"
Saria (cool, questioning): "Mr. Hawk entrusted you with that responsibility?"
Ryan (voice faltering, anxious): "Mr. Hawk had entrusted me with keeping an eye on Shakky… but…"
Saria (typing on the typewriter): "It's case 321 of Shakky Petrona."
(With a strange expression) "Oh, my child Shakky..."
[Saira inava : vanguard(lieutenent)]
Narrator: "Do you want to know what's happening here?
It's the year 1621, a world terrorized by vampires, and the Vanguards exist to protect humanity from them."
"The Vanguard headquarters assigns missions to the Vanguards - to protect people, to keep watch over key locations, and most importantly, to find missing persons and kill vampires."
The CCTV footage from Apurva Underground Railway Station captured Shakky walking alongside four others.
Moments later, all of them boarded the Minnat train.
That was the last time Shakky was ever seen.
==On 13th June 1621, 4:11 PM, at railway station.
[Footsteps echoed as the door creaked open. The chief of the railway station walked into the CCTV room.]
A station worker glanced at him nervously and said,
Station worker : "Sir, the CCTV footage has been sent to Vanguard HQ. Lieutenant Saria has already received it."
[The station chief turned towards the screen, eyes narrowing.]
Henry kids :"It's been a long time since a case file reached Vanguard HQ…"
==At 4:18 PM, Operations Room [Vanguard HQ]
Lieutenant Saria finished reviewing the case files. She pressed the bell on her desk.
Sergeant Katty Kira entered promptly. Saria handed her two pages — the summary of Case 321: Shakky Petrona.
The pages contained:
Case details
Location
Scene observations
Team members assigned
Saria looked at Katty and said,
Saria: "Take this to Captain Jack Crock. Make sure he gets it immediately."
Katty blushed and thought to herself, "Captain Jack, I'm coming."
[Katty kira : vanguard (Sergeant)]
Then Katty went to room no. 22, which was Captain Jack's room.
She knocked on the door.
Katty: "Captain Jack, are you in?"
There was no reply for a minute.
Katty knocked again.
Then she opened the door and went inside, only to see Captain Jack asleep at his study table, his head resting on a book.
She spoke to Jack:
Katty: "Wake up, Captain Jack. Lieutenant Saria has given you a mission."
Jack: "Saria… that witch gave me a mission?"
Jack stretches, yawns, sits up properly, and takes the pages from Katty.
He reads the pages.
Jack: "Shakky Petrona… third-rank Hawk's sister. This case is going to be interesting".
(he murmurs softly)"Missing for three days… last seen at apurva Station with four people. Assigned to this mission with me are Lieutenant Brock, Sergeant Ryan, and four operatives ."
Jack said to Katty,
"Tell the others to assemble in my room by 5:00 PM. We'll leave from here at 5:30."
==At 5:04 PM, Room 22.
Ryan enters the room.
Jack: "Sergeant Ryan, I told you to be here by 5:00 PM, and you're 4 minutes late. Don't take the stress of Shakky's disappearance on yourself. Hawk is a Vanguard, so it was inevitable that his family would be in danger."
Ryan: "Hawk had entrusted me with keeping an eye on things, and I couldn't even do that. I'm useless…"
(His eyes well up with tears.)
Jack: "We don't have time to sit here and watch you cry. Quickly, take a seat on that chair. Lieutenant Brock, explain the case and the plan to the others properly."
Brock: "The case is about Shakky… and this has already happened. There's a high chance they've turned Shakky into a vamphir for their own use. Hawk and Shakky share the same blood, so she would be very valuable to them."
Jack: "It's not necessary that they took her ; she could even be dead. We won't know anything unless we go there ourselves. We'll start from Apurva Station, find out who was with her, and if Shakky is alive, we'll bring her back."
Operative 2: "Sir, then why wasn't this case given to Hawk?"
Jack: "Hawk is busy with another case. He's been working on it for two months, but it still hasn't been solved."
Brock: "Hmm. Shall I continue?"
Jack: "Yes."
Brock: "This case could become even more complex as we move forward. There's a high chance that the commanders might get involved and the cadets and sergeants could be removed from the mission. So stay with me and Captain Jack at all times, or you could disappear too."
Jack: "Brock, don't scare the kids. Our operatives are strong enough to take care of themselves."
There's a knock at the door. Everyone looks toward it.
Jack: "Come in."
The door opens, and Sergeant Katty enters.
Katty: "Captain, Lieutenant Saria said that I should also go with you all. So I'm joining you in this case as well."
Jack: "Alright, everyone—ready your weapons. We're about to leave."
Jack tucks the cigarette box into his pocket, lifts his sword, and tells the cadets to bring the bags. The bags are handed out to the cadets, and everyone secures their weapons close.

[Brock cattle: vanguard( lieutenent)]
Narrator: Vampires are immortal, so special weapons are needed to kill them. Vanguards are special humans capable of doing this task, and they choose their weapons based on their individual abilities. Some wield swords, some prefer daggers, while others carry long-range weapons. Both vampires and vanguards are divided into ranks.
The Vanguard ranks are as follows — Grand Commander > Commander > Captain > Lieutenant > Sergeant > Operative > Cadet.
There is one Grand Commander holding Rank 1, 7 Commanders, followed by 15 Captains, 27 Lieutenants, and the rest fill the lower ranks.
The vampire ranks are —
Elders > Holders > Lords > Enforcers > Knights > Neophytes.
Among them, there are 4 Elders, 8 Holders, and 18 Lords. The Elders are the oldest and most powerful, while the rest of the ranks are filled according to power. Around each Elder's home, there are two Holder palaces, guarded by vigilant vampire knights.
==6:00 PM — At the railway station.
Jack and his team enter the station's operation room and begin reviewing the CCTV footage.
Jack: "Now who the hell are these four idiots with Shakky?"
Ryan: "One of them must be the vampire who kidnapped her."
Brock: "It was around 3:30 at that time—sounds like a vamphir's doing."
Jack: "Maybe they were all humans and she was kidnapped later on the way. Katty, any contact from Minnat Station yet?"
Katty: "Not yet, Captain."
Narrator: Vamphirs are those who live among normal humans — unlike pure vampires, they don't burn in sunlight, but they still fear holy objects. However, their thirst for blood makes it impossible for them to stay hidden within human society for too long.
Jack: "Chief, when is the next train to Minnat?"
Chief: "The next one is at 6 o'clock. You can take it—I'll get your tickets ready."
Jack: "Which stations are on the way?"
Chief: "Rosa Town, Clipper Town, Falgar River, Green Garden, and Rose Field. A train arrives every hour."
Jack lights a cigarette.
Jack: "Alright, boys, today we're going to crush some vampires. Get ready."
Everyone says, "Ok, Captain."
Katty: "You're forgetting there's a sexy girl among you."
Jack: "I don't give a damn."
Katty: (in a soft voice) "If you show a little respect, nothing bad will happen."
Jack: "Did you say something?"
Katty: "No, absolutely not."
==6:00 PM —
The train arrives at the station. Everyone starts heading to the special ward with their weapons.
Behind them, the four operatives are carrying the bags.
Operative 4: "Why the hell are we carrying so many bags?"
Katty: "Isn't it obvious? You're the juniors. Ha ha ha!"
Brock: "Don't tease them, Katty."
Now everyone takes their seats inside the train as it starts moving.
Each of them thinks to themselves:
Ryan (thinking): "Shakky, I'm coming to find you."
Jack (thinking): "What would Hawk think if he heard all this? Today will be the last day for these vampires."
Brock (thinking): "I hope we don't run into any Vanscourges on this journey."
Katty (thinking): "Alright, I'm with Captain Jack on this mission. I'll show them how capable I am—and then I'll propose marriage to him."
Narrator: Captain Jack and his team have set out to find Shakky, but the question remains—what happened to her, and who were those four people with her? Now, we'll have to see what unfolds next on this journey.
To be continued…
