Dauru had been dispatched from Hellsing HQ in pursuit of a potential target, and he'd followed it here. He didn't break his pace as he entered Kew Gardens in pursuit, and as he finally was able to he brought his rifle into play, taking target even as he flew, making sure the target was safe before he fired. He'd not noticed the set trap behind him until he saw the shadow of something very large appearing beneath him. With the moon behind him that meant it had to be behind him. He turned on wing tip just in time to take the full brunt of a back handed clawed attack that caused his body to crumple, the wings wrenched fully forward with the force of the hit as he was sent hurtling backward.
Instinctivly without sighting properly he fired one, two shots hearing the wounded feral growls of something big. He'd also heard the crunch, and knew that it was either a bone breaking the pain of which he'd feel later, or his communications device linking him back to headquarters breaking, or both.
As the dazed fog finally cleared he narrowed his eyes, ignoring the pain from his shoulder mentally adding a bruised shoulder at the least ammending that as he heard the grating sound to dislocated shoulder more likely and took aim, aiming for the heart, his finger tightening around the trigger, feeling the slight kick of the rifle as he fired - well slight to him anyway.
This new target was barely phased and he hissed his fustration, his attention swiftly distracted as he heard the sound of some projectile being fired, but it wasn't a gun, it was a weapon much older. He saw the things stagger back and saw another one fire. He looked closer at what he'd seen protruding from the things leg, effectively crippling it. A crossbow bolt? he thought bewildered. But he saw the thing finally fell to the ground.
He didn't really have time to think further as he slumped down to the ground, unable to fly. It would seem his wings had taken some serious damage was what he thought partially to himself.

"Dauru! Dauru!" Walter had dispatched Dauru earlier to check up on a demon sighting. But now the connection to him had been severed. Something most likely had taken Dauru down... That was bad, not many thing had it in them to take him down...
Walter had only one option, he couldn't leave the mansion so he had tos end in Alucard... He was the only one available... "Alucard can you hear me?"

"You seem to be in some sort of trouble, eh Walter?" Alucard said as he appeared from the shadows. It had been a loong time since anything of great interest had shown up. And from the look of things there might be some entertainment for tonight.
"Do you have something for me?" He said with a grin.

Relived to see him Walter went on to explain the situation. "So you see, whatever happened there must be something extraordinary, as it would take quite a lot to knock Dauru off. Hope you haven't begun to rust, because you have to go and check up on him." Walter gave him the last transmission coordinates.

"Hmph, unlike humans, I never get rusty.", Alucard returned with a grin, "I'll head there then, to see who our new friend is." In an instant he had turned into a flock of bats and in a few minutes he reformed next to Dauru. With an amused grin he looked down on Dauru: "Good evening. Having some trouble are we?"

Dauru forced his eyes to open. 'Got caught out,' was all he gestured in response. 'Both targets have been eliminated, I think' he added on struggling to gesture with one hand.

Dauru was definetly in bad shape... His wings were torn by what seemed claws, and he had a big wound on his shoulder... "Walter get someone over here to take care of Dauru.. I'm going to-" Alucard abruptly stopped when he saw the demon... It wa sdead, but what struck him odd were that it had been shot down, with arrows. Picking up one of the arrows he could feel the repulsing energy from them. These were man-made arrows meant to kill his kind. "Walter... It seems we have competition... The demon was killed by man-made arrows. I will have a look into it."
Glancing back at Dauru he said: "The cleaning squad will be here shortly. Don't try to move." After that he started to leave, following the humans scent he got from the arrows. This might be interesting, he thought anhd a wicked grin spred accross his face.

The unknown crossbow user was already making ready to leave, strapping her crossbow across her back. "All right Scar, we'll be moving on soon, there's more work to be done," she said quietly, tucking a strand of brown hair beyond her ear. Scarair gave a soft growl waiting patiently. Someone comes he thought giving a soft growl in warning shifting his position slightly.
Dauru nodded. 'I don't think it looks like I'm planning on moving any time soon[/i] he gestured turning his head slightly to watch Alucard leave

Alucard sensed a human ahead of him, not far... But something else had struck him... A snese of immense power, a very powerful demon aura was eminating from the same direction as that of the human. "Aaah, What a beautiful night this is turning out to be." He said to himself with obvious excitement. He picked up the pace. And in the distance he could already see two shapes, even with his vampiric sight, the two of them seemed hazy, they were hiddan by the demonic aura. But soon that wouldn't help them.

The unknown crossbow user swiftly brought her crossbow ready loading it up. Scarair shifted his position slightly once more giving a soft growl. Easy Scar she thought to him soothingly, not taking her eyes off the figure approaching. Although her crossbow was by her side, she was ready to bring it up to aim and fire in the slightest hint of threat.

Alucard could now clearly see the two figures ahead of him. There was a big reptilian demon, reminescent to a crocodile... This was the source of the aura. But to his surprise the figure wielding a crossbow, was a young girl, couldn't be older than 18...
"That crossbow of yours packs quite the punch, little girl." He said with a smile that would have sent chills running through the spine of many a man. But this girl seemed unfazed.

"I'm not little," she retorted smoothly watching Alucard. "I've been hunting demons since I got cast out for bonding with this one," she gestured behind her to Scar. "I'm not after you or your kin, unless you try and attack my demon companion," she added on warningly. "So don't get any ideas," she didn't really care she was most likely facing death. Her demon came first.

"hah, hahhahhaaa!" This was highly amusing, very amusing. "So you care about that monster next to you? Nonsense! Humans and monsters like us... We are not meant to be together..." A glimpse of a memory long lost went through Alucards mind, but was quickly pushed aside. "And that monster of yours... He has no ties to you what-so-ever. If you weren't his master, he would tear you limb from limb. Now... What will you do... Little girl?"

"Oh I don't exactly care for him, he's just company," she responded simply. "Call it a love of adrenaline, besides, I doubt even you could go against him, so be thankful I am his Master vampire," she replied simply, not even flinching. Scarair gave a low warning growl. Nats herself had tightened her finger around the trigger for her crossbow.

Sensing a challenge he had not sensed in a while, and also this girls arrogance was something that reminded him of a certain other little girl... Someone who had been foolish enough to venture into a dark dungeon. A grin widened in his face as he stepped closer to the girl. "I have no doubts of your companions prowess, but you do understand that my job is to hunt down monsters like him... and any who help them." even though he said all that he couldn't stop wondering... This young girl had the proffessionality of any Hellsing agent. Was bound to a demon of this callibre... There were interesting things a foot tinight.
