Jose L. Solano Safe in his old body once more, Trent returned to his hideout. It wasn't much, just an abandoned warehouse that the police were too stupid to check, just like every other cliche villain. As he opened the door, he heard a rustling noise. "Who's there?" Trent yelled as he switched on the lights. A purple and indigo wing stuck out from behind a box. "<It is only me... master.>" "Golbat? Golbat, what are you doing here?" Slowly, the timid Golbat walked out from behind the boxes, his wings folded. "<Please, master, call me Alucard.>" "I don't remember giving you a nickname. Did someone else capture you?!" "<I have been calling myself Alucard after I met a stray flock of Golbat, just so the others could tell us apart.>" "The others? Where are they?" Alucard flew on top of a large crate. "<The others are in the forest. I came back here to find supplies.>" "Why didn't you just stay here?" "<Several bandits have been raiding this place. They recently stopped, and someone had to check it out. I drew the short straw. By the way, I am curious. Did you not die>?" "Yes, I did die." Trent walked up a stairway and into his office. Alucard hovered just beyond the railing. "But I'm back now. It's a long story." Trent turned on the office light and took a case from a dusty filing cabinet. "<Excuse me, master, but what is in that case?>" Alucard asked, landing on top of the cabinet. "Something I took from one of my victims." He opened the case and pulled out a shiny silver sword. "<What do you plan to do with that?>" asked a nervous Alucard. Trent took the double-edged blade and pointed it at the Golbat. "Revenge." Alucard wrapped his wings around himself. "<Master, I don't know what I did to deserve this, but I'm sorry!>" "I'm not going to kill you, Gol- er, Alucard. This blade's for Dreadite." "Why don't you just use a gun like you always do?" Trent put the sword back in its case and faced the cowering Golbat. "If you were there, you'd know. Bullets don't seem to hurt him at all, and besides, my aim is bad. I'm going to try something I saw in a movie once." "<Highlander?>" "How'd you know?" Trent asked as he took buckled his utility belt. "<Just a guess. So you plan to cut this Dreadite character's head off?>" "Exactly. I'll take you along with me, I might need you." Trent put on a new trenchcoat and finally, his gauntlets. "Get the others here. Tell them I've come back." "<Right away, master.>" Alucard flew through the open door. Trent sat down on an old chair and once again looked at the sword. "You'll get what's coming to you, Dreadite" he thought to himself. "Then it's your turn, Tenchi Inverse." Trent smiled deviously. TBC (Like the new opening format?
