Soma Cruz
Well, at least this seemed like good news... "several interdimensional means of travel and communication"... if Alucard was right, and he did look like he knew what he was talking about, Soma might have a chance at figuring out a way to both contact Mina and return home.
-Great. So I'm not as stranded here as I thought.
He gave an interrogative look to Alucard, apparently wondering what the trailer was to be used for. Was it where he kept that video phone of his?

Alucard leads you inside where a small computer terminal lights up to reveal a young blond woman. "Alucard... What is this. Report."
"Yes my mistress, I found the anomally in the area... I met this young man, who seems to be an alternate universe version of myself." He said. "I think he can explain it far better than I can."

Soma Cruz
"An alternate universe version of myself". Soma wondered just how close to the truth that statement was. After all, Alucard and himself didn't have a similar personality, nor did they look the same; Alucard was significantly taller, had black hair and wore yellow-tinted glasses. He looked relatively menacing, somewhat sinister, actually. Aside from his red hat and trenchcoat, his clothes were mostly black.
Soma was actually pretty much the opposite: not quite tall nor small, his hair were silver-grey, he had no glasses, looked rather friendly yet somewhat lonely, and his clothes were mostly white, including his own trenchcoat. If they were truly alternate versions of the same person, the differences were striking. Soma shrugged, guessing it didn't matter in the end.
-Greetings... (he paused, realizing he didn't know how to call the woman. Did she have some kind of title, like "commander"? "Chief"?) ... miss. My name's Soma Cruz. I don't know exactly how I got here, I mean, in this universe. I sort of simply appeared here after disappearing from my own.
He thought about what to say next; judging from Alucard's actions regarding him, Hellsing Organization wasn't the kind interested in petty details. So he decided to tell her who he was and leave the "where he came from" and the "what his story is" for another time, unless the woman asked him to tell her.
-I'm the reincarnation of the vampire Dracula, who died in 1999 by the hand of a vampire hunter known as Julius Belmont. As such, my body holds both my spirit and that of the Dark Lord, though I am still master of my actions. He smiled. According to a friend of mine, it's because I'm particularly headstrong, but I couldn't say why it is so exactly. Maybe I'm just not evil enough to allow him to crush my mind and take over my body. Anyway... so I'm much stronger than normal people, and I have what we call "the Power of Dominance". It allows me to absorb the souls of the creatures I kill and use their powers as if they were my own... and I've killed hundreds of demons that once served the Dark Lord in his castle, Castlevania, where Alucard found me a few minutes ago. In other words, I have the powers of so many demons I usually don't even find a use for them all.
He scratched the back of his neck, apparently thinking to see if anything else was worth mentionning.
-Basically, I often use my powers to protect people against demons and monsters when they show up where they shouldn't, which makes me a monster hunter. That's why I'd like to join you guys, at least for as long as I'm in this universe, if you would have me. I can be a handy guy to have around. I was thinking, if I can come across a monster with the power to travel dimensions or something, maybe I can kill it and thus find a way back to my world... so... is there anything else you need to know about me?

"At the moment... No, there is not." She says sternly. "You will be admitted to the Hellsing Organization on a probatory basis until Alucard's watchfull eye. Is that understood?"
"Yes Mistress Integra." Alucard says unmoving, and expressionless.

Soma Cruz
There was little choice, and that was what he wanted anyway, so...
-That's fine with me, said Soma. Don't worry. You won't regret it.
He wondered what was next. If they were as active as Genya Aricado's associates, they could as well go hunt monsters right away... or it could take weeks. Either way, he didn't mind.

Suddenly.
*SLAM!!!* Something goes against the side of the trailer.
"Come on out here, you bloody abomination of all that is holy!" Someone yells from outside.
"Hmmm.... Looks like the Judas Priest finally found me." Alucard says with a sadistic smile.

Soma Cruz-...what the hell?Soma steps back from the trailer, surprised by whatever had slammed into it. Judging by the sound, it was something strong, but... the voice seemed human. Overly-religious human, but still. Using his right hand, Soma reached for the empty air at his side, drawing a long, slightly curved blade covered in darkness, apparently out of thin air. Kadalbolg, the dark sword, which he used several times against fallen angels inside Castlevania back from before he learned that he was the Dark Lord. -"Judas Priest"?... so you two know each other? I'm guessing he's not here to pay a simple visit to an old friend, is he now?Soma summoned within his own the soul of the Flame Demons who once guarded the access to Castlevania's throne room, gaining the ability to throw fireballs made of hellfire. He didn't know if it would be useful, but... ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- H 6/6 E 24/24 Using my Blue Souls to summon the dark sword Kadalbolg from Castlevania (+4; AP, 2x damage VS servants of the Light and angels, Indestructible). Soma ignores who the "Judas Priest" is, but he thinks the man is a faithful servant of God judging from the words he said (wether he is or not is open to interpretation ). 13 stones, Efficient, into Close Combat (Martial Arts, Archaic Weapons), plus 2 from Dark Lord, plus 4 from Kadalbolg, all shifted into Defense. Also activating the Flame Demon Soul. E 15/24 Defense 29 (Reflexive Dodge 3, Toughness 6 [No AP, No 2x damage], Trenchcoat 1, Actions 19) Mental Defense 11 (Intelligence 3, Mental Defense 8) Magical Defense +4 Red Soul: Flame Demon (Force Blast [Hellfire type] 9, 2x damage, AP; 35w/35) Blue Soul: Quezlcoatl (increases Soma's Toughness to 6 [No AP, No 2x damage].

"His name is Father Anderson... He is an agent for the Catholic Church of my world... Quite abloodthristy fello who loves to kill all those he deems as unholy." Alucard says phasing through the wall of the trailer.

Soma Cruz
-Sounds like a real funny guy.
Soma smirks. Alucard's world seemed somewhat different from his own... That Judas Priest sounded like some crazy fanatic vampire hunter, while the Catholic Church from Soma's memory were secretive, but completely devoted to good and peace. Their agents did fight demons and vampires, but they could understand that not all of them were necessarily evil... like himself. One of their ranks, Yoko Belnades, was actually a good friend of Soma's. He was about to ask Alucard if he had a plan, but the vampire phased through the side of the trailer. Soma had a single demon soul that allowed him to do the same, but he had never used it so far and actually seeing someone do it was pretty impressive.
-Whoa... okay then, see you on the other side.
Quickly running out of the trailer, sword in hand, Soma headed for where the sounds came, slightly worried. He had felt Alucard's power earlier... if the Priest was confident enough to attack him directly like that, he was probably very powerful. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- H 6/6 E 24/24
13 stones, Efficient, into Close Combat (Martial Arts, Archaic Weapons), plus 2 from Dark Lord, plus 4 from Kadalbolg, all shifted into Defense.
4 stones into Speed, 2 to run at speed 4 towards where the sounds were coming from, 2 shifted into Defense.

You run outside to find Alucard, and a man dressed in a preacer outfit staring each other down... However Alucard seems lost in thought as if caught in a trace.
"Today is your lucky day Soma...." Alucard says with that sadistic grin. "Mistress Integra seems to think now is the perfect chance to earn your stripes, and show your worth to our organization... Let's see how well you fare against the Judas Priest."
"Stop ignoring me, you foul demon!" Anderson ranves whipping out a pair of bayonts and with a sudden rush forward eviserating Alucard before your eyes. Alucard just stands there smiling as his wounds instantly heal themselves.

Soma Cruz
Soma stood there, wide-eyed in surprise, as he saw the vampire's wounds disappear as if he was never hurt in the first place. He doubted that even he could heal so quickly, even with his best demonic souls... which apparently made it clear to him that Alucard was undoubtedly more powerful than he was. Then again, he and Integra wanted him to show them what good he was in a fight against that "Judas Priest". It would be stupid to first spare him to kill him off by sending him against someone he couldn't defeat, so he guessed the Vampire and his mistress truly believed he could take the man on and win.
-Fine... I'll show you what I've got. You there!... yeah, you, the crazy priest. You can't fight Alucard here unless you've beaten me, first. Think you're up to the challenge, old man?
Soma raised his hand in front of him, and a beautiful ring adorned with a beautiful crimson red gem appeared on his finger. The Chaos Ring glittered with power, as a dark aura surrounded Soma's body. He seized Balmung with his other hand, whose grip was countless times stronger than a normal human... yet, his opponent looked like he had inhuman strength to match.
-Come on... come on!! Show me your power, Judas Priest. You're a vampire hunter, aren't you? Well come on, and fight me as you would a vampire!
Readying himself to parry the priest's attacks with strikes of his own, Soma unleashed the fury of the Flame Demon's soul: three large balls of flames from Hell that would burn flesh to a crisp! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- H 6/6 E 30/30
"Summoning" the Chaos Ring on my finger;
13 stones, Efficient, into Close Combat (Martial Arts, Archaic Weapons), plus 3 from Dark Lord, plus 4 from Kadalbolg, all shifted into Defense.
9 stones, plus 3 from Dark Lord, into Red Soul to make a 12 stones Hellfire balls attack (2x damage, AP) VS the Judas Priest.
E 8/30 Defense 32 (Reflexive Dodge 3, Toughness 6 [No AP, No 2x damage], Trenchcoat 1, Actions 22) Mental Defense 11 (Intelligence 3, Mental Defense 8) Magical Defense +4 Red Soul: Flame Demon (Force Blast [Hellfire type] 9, 2x damage, AP; 35w/35) Blue Soul: Quezlcoatl (increases Soma's Toughness to 6 [No AP, No 2x damage]. Total value: 18w/25.) Yellow Soul: Alura Une (increase Soma's Healing Factor to Enhanced Healing Factor. Total value: 11w/15)

Hissing, he comes at you with both bayonets, and swings at your neck, which you avoid easily. Your own Hellfire blast manages to inflict massive burns on his torso, which instantly heal before your eyes.

Soma Cruz
-Dammit!... not you, too?
The priest's wounds were gone almost instantly; Soma could as well have tried to slice air into pieces. How could one win a fight against a foe who couldn't be hurt?... Actually, there were several ways. Against a nearly impenetrable defense, the use of overwhelming force had served Soma well in the past. And if that failed... he did not have to kill the priest to win. Restraining him could be enough... but that would be difficult.
-Alright. You want to play it rough? Fine. Let's see if you can take me now.
Soma's clothes seemed to darken in color, to change. As he called upon more power, his clothes replaced themselves with Dracula's tunic, and a large black and red cape. Holding Balmung in front of him, he prepared to face the priest again... but this time, he was dead serious. Focusing various demonic souls into his mind to boost the power of his Hellfire blasts, he gathered his energy in his hands as a fiery aura surrounded his form.
-See you in Hell.
Stabbing Balmung in the ground, Soma held both hands in front of him, unleashing dozens of fireballs of the same hellfire he used before, but this time the flames were burning hotter than ever. If that didn't leave a mark, he'd have to think of another tactic, and fast, as he guessed when he grabbed Balmung again. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- H 6/6 E 21/30
"Summoning" Dracula's Tunic, and increasing my Flame Demon's Soul to (Force Blast [Hellfire type] 9, 3x damage, AP; 45w/45). I change my Blue Bullet Soul to Burning Wheel's Soul (a demon looking like a lion head in the middle of a flaming wheel), and my Alura Une Soul to Prime Alura Soul.
9 stones, Efficient, into Flame Demon Soul, plus 6 from Burning Wheel Soul, plus 3 from Dark Lord, into a 18 stones, 3x damage, AP attack of hellfire blasts VS the Judas Priest.
6 stones, Efficient, into Burning Wheel Soul to activate the force field, all into defense.
E 11/30 Defense 18 (Reflexive Dodge 3, Dracula's Tunic 3, No AP, Actions 12) Mental Defense 11 (Intelligence 3, Mental Defense 8) Magical Defense +4 Red Soul: Flame Demon (Force Blast [Hellfire type] 9, 3x damage, AP; 45w/45) Blue Soul: Burning Wheel (acts as Force Field 7, Electrification 6 (Hellfire), and adds 6 stones from GP to any Hellfire-based powers. Total value: 33w/35.) Yellow Soul: Prime Alura (increase Soma's Healing Factor to Superior Healing Factor [as Enhanced, but 2w of Health per panel]. Total value: 25w/25)

Anderson lunges at you and stabs through the forefield scoring a stab on you. (OOC: Lose 2w) However you own Hellfire hits home, and Anderson falls to the ground and is unconscious.

Soma Cruz-UNH...!!Soma took a few steps back, hurt and impressed by the sheer strength of the priest when he stabbed him through the protective field of the Prime Alura's soul. After the priest fell unconscious to the ground, the young man grabbed the bayonnet and pulled it out, scowling from the pain. He threw it down on the ground as the wound healed itself (less quickly than the priest and Alucard, but still... he guessed he was pretty hard to put down, too). -...Who the heck is that guy? No normal human can be that strong or heal that fast. He's even stronger than the Belmont or Aricado from my world.Summoning strong, large chains from the dungeons of Castlevania that were strong enough to hold massive demons, Soma tied the Judas Priest up, grabbed him and handed him over to Alucard, before grabbing a few of his bayonnets he had used during the battle. -There you go. One unconscious Judas Priest from yours truly. As you can see... I can take care of myself if necessary.As he said that, his dark tunic changed and became paler, until the young man was still wearing his usual clothes and white trenchcoat, and the sword Balmung and the Chaos Ring vanished back to where they belonged, in the depths of Castlevania. He observed the bayonnets with interest, and waited to see Alucard's reaction to his battle. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- H 6/6 E 24/30 Summoning large, solid chains from Castlevania to tie the priest up; 7 stones into Strength plus 3 from Dark Lord to do just that. 9 stones into General Knowledge (the Dark Arts and the Occult) to see what I know about the priest's bayonnets (and learn their game stats ) Also unsummoning Balmung, Dracula's Tunic and the Chaos Ring, and dropping all three souls. E 8/24 Defense 4 (Reflexive Dodge 3, Trenchcoat 1) Mental Defense 11 (Intelligence 3, Mental Defense 8) Magical Defense +4
