[BGC] [Crossover] [Teaser/Shortfic]
This takes place after the last episode of Bubblegum Crash!
A Legacy In Vain
Inspector Leon McNichol was having, as it were, a bad night. However, unlike most of
his bad days, it did not involve his compassionate, yet conservative Chief blowing his
stack at Leon exclusively. It did not involve Wong making snide remarks about his track
record with Priss. It didn't even involve said track record with Priss. No, this was
altogether much, much worse.
Assigned to the graveyard shift, Leon was set for a night of watching reruns of an old
Anime. Rogue Boomers all seemed to be at the same out-of-town convention (My name
is 55-C001, and I'm a Rogue Boomer...), because there hasn't been an incident in weeks.
Well, Leon thought bitterly, there had been that one servant boomer who wouldn't stop
watching the Dukes of Hazard, but that hardly counts. Anyway, he had just settled into
his favourite chair when the call had came in.
Apparently there had been some sort of murder, and the N-Police had been called in to
investigate. However, due to the nature of the murder, they thought it best that the ADP
take over. Not that a Boomer had been running around afterwards, or anything like that.
But, simply put, normal murderers don't do... *that.*
The body lay in an ally in one of the more... uncouth parts of MegaTokyo. It had been
called in when the worried proprietor of a neighboring store had tried to go out the side
entrance, only to have it blocked by what was now know to be the corpse. Going out the
front, he inspected the ally, and found the unfortunate soul propped up against the door.
Immediately, he had run into his shop and called in the NPD, who called in the ADP,
which is why he and a surprisingly quiet Wong were out here at Oh-My-God-hundred
hours in the morning.
Although it was hard to tell, due to the two puncture wounds on his neck, the NPD, and
later Leon, were pretty sure of the cause of death:
Massive blood loss. There was some on the walls, but that could not account for the
amount that had been lost. Something had sucked him dry. Leon kept thinking back to the
incident involving the 33-S's who escaped with the DD Battlemover. Unless GENOM
had been really busy with a new type of Boomer lately, he was pretty sure he had another
33-S on his hands. Surely, the Sexaroid had lured this poor fellow into the ally, which
must have been pretty easy with what the sap thought he was going to get. Oddly enough,
there did not appear to be any signs of a struggle, no bruises from what they could see.
The Forlab would have some fun with that one.
After a bit of questioning, the lab boys took the stiff back to headquarters, leaving Leon
and Daley to drive back to the station.
"So, whats on your mind, Leon-chan? You've been deep in though since we arrived on
the scene. It must be new territory for you.?"
Leon didn't even respond to the jab. "I'm worried about Priss. The last time this sort of
thing happened it was really rough on her, and I don't want to see her that upset again.
One could only hope its just an escaped Sexaroid, with no Battlemovers or Laser
Satelites, or Vendettas, or anything else to worry about. Dammit, why does Tokyo attract
all the nuts!!?" Leon and Wong had long since known Priss was a Knight Saber, ever
since she had sobbingly sough Leon after the battle with Largo and Anri. She had needed
someone who she wasn't really close with to tell her it wasn't her fault, and had talked to
Leon. The fact she came to him pleased Leon to no end, and he tried to support her in that
crisis. Although they weren't dating as per se, they did see each other often for "non-
dates," as Daley put them.
"How *does* one smuggle those items into this country anyway? Well, if this one
follows the same pattern as the last one, we can expect it to go after more secluded people
in the future. Maybe we could even set a trap."
"One that preferable does not involve dynamite or bear traps. I swear Wong, you watch to
many of those old American cartoons for your own good."
"And I suppose I could say the same about that collection of Ranma videos and mangas
in your apartment that I don't know about, eh Leon-chan?"
"Shut up, Wong!"
****************************
On top of a nearby building, he sat and watched as the police came, did their
investigating, and left. Silently, he cursed himself for having been so greedy, so hungy.
Well, he thought, I haven't had anything since being tossed out of the Circle of Nine. I
deserved a bit more to eat.
Upon his first arrival to this city, he had been shocked at the size of the city, and
technology that threatened to swallow him whole if he were not careful. So much
different from Nosgoth, yet containing all the same types of people.
Kain quickly transformed, and flew away as a different creature of the night. He had
plenty of work to if he ever planned on continuing his journey.
******************************
I have been shooting this idea around in my head for quite some time, but couldn't decide
on Kain, or Alucard. I figure I could more easily explain why Kain is dimension hopping
(isn't everyone, nowadays?) and the fact that Alucard doesn't drink blood...
This is just a teaser, and will probably differ severely from the final version. Any input
would be appreciated, even flames, if put forth in an amusing manner.
Email me at Trodamus@yahoo.com about which characer you would like more to appear
in this: Kain or Alucard. All C&C, grammar corrections, etc., should be sent to me
privately, unless for some reason would be better posted to the FFML.
