Monster Hunters: Beat Grave and Erina Hell's Adventures.

Chapter 44: The hunter is hunted!

Beat arrived to an old factory that looked abandoned but it wasn't abandoned. Beat was ready to enter and see what was happening and saw an entire laboratory but filled with cells with small girls that were kidnapped, that brought to Beat memories of the past. Exactly the same room but in a different place. That cursed memory of his was making Beat more angry by the second. But Beat exploded when he heard a girl trying to talk but coughing blood. Beat opened the cell with his gun and took the girls out and called the police to make them come after the girls and went back in there.

Then he saw Hendricks and grabbed his gun and was ready to fight.
-Beat: Today I'll kill you bastard! You are going to die!
-Hendricks: We both know that the death is not a friend of yours neither of mine. We can't kill each other.
-Beat: Are you sure?
-Hendricks: I have 54 years. I know what you are thinking. 50 years and the angel cells implanted on me will decay. And? I could rechange them.
-Beat: You are bluffing. They need 4 years to change them back for newer ones! And you haven't stopped for 4 years.
-Hendricks: So you got an eye on me.
-Beat: Yeah. I was waiting for this moment. The perfect chance to shoot you down as the sick dog you are! But using her blood, I hope that you know that I shall kill you slowly for using Erina's blood.
-Hendricks: Smart but yet easy to get riled up if you know what to say! You never change Beat!
-Beat: You are going to have a bad time.
Beat started shooting to Hendricks who took the shoot but regenerated well and Hendricks shooted at Beat with a shotgun and grabbed a controller device and pushed the button.

Then a loud noise could be heard and Beat got scared and started to shoot at Hendricks in the heart trying to make his angel cells to fail but Hendricks kept regenerating and shot Beat in the heart with the shotgun.
-Hendricks: I made the cloning machine go faster.
-Beat: How... much time?
-Hendricks: 1 minute and the girl will be ready.
-Beat: So fast... You will create a human so quickly?
-Hendricks: There's a bigger chance to make her unkillable but I won't survive this. So I must finish this now!
-Beat: Oh, well. I got a thing from you.
Beat got up after having regenerated his heart and took out a knife that he stabbed in Hendricks heart.
-Beat: This type of wounds are way too much for angels. But for me and you this was a simple thing to take care of. But now, I am the only unkillable human of us both!
-Hendricks: (coughs blood) Smartass. You killed me with a knife. Like I wanted to kill Lucy.
-Beat: And I will do a tradition of the werewolves. I'll take out your head from your cold corpse. And then I'll do another tradition of the demons, leave the body wide open. You know what both mean no?
-Hendricks: The worst treatment for the worst kind. Bastard. You are going to leave my body marked as the body of a human without honor...
Hendricks died after saying that but Beat had to stop the machine from finishing the cloning. Then he found Erina in front of the machine crying.

Beat understood what happened, Erina managed to find the factory but she entered from the undergroud and tried to find the controls of the machine but when she found them, she saw that the girl was already alive and Erina had to do a tough call. Kill her and ensure the safety of monsterkind or save her and try to save everyone? She could not decide and it was the same with Beat.

But then a thunder hit a machine killing the girl before she could even try to protect herself. Vincent and Alphonse where just behind the machine and Beat looked at them filled with rage.
-Beat: How could you!? You killed an innocent! I never kill innocents, and that's mostly a rule that I try to keep up.
-Vincent: You saw her. She was a daughter of you and Erina made by your DNAs. But also she could kill all monsterkind. Am I right?
-Beat: Yeah... But that's not what we do. I'd kill her if we saw that she was a killing human. But you killed her even before she was born!
-Alphonse: We have done what it had to be done!
-Beat: You don't care of what Erina was passing through or what!? And that surely has completely destroyed her!
-Vincent: This isn't a nice job. You know it better than no one else.
-Beat: How you dare!? Leave! I'll take care of the rest and don't dare to think in not following this order. Because if you do, you can start getting your things and get out of White Hope! We do not do things like that unless it is a do or die situation.
Beat went to see how Erina was but she was still crying.
-Beat: Erina, I am deeply sorry for what you had to see...
-Erina: How could you manage this last time?
-Beat: I focused all my emotions into hatred to one single man. That's how I managed it.
-Erina: But that man...
-Beat: Is dead. I got to take the corpse to the police. Right now I can't do nothing more.
Beat moved to where Hendricks died and gave the corpse to the police that arrived. After that he just went into a corner and stayed there thinking.

Hard choices that never should be taken. That's what Vincent had to do. But how our heroes will take this? Stay tuned.
