Act 3
Later the police arrive and he rushes off calling his Vatican contacts. He manages to get a lot of information on the book of Cthulu. It is part of the Ancient One’s order. The last surviving member of the order and now master is Dr. Albert Strange. Dr. Strange lives in Manhattan. The book itself is an ancient evil text, supposedly predating man from an alternate dimension. The only reason the book is not in the Vatican vault, due to its evil power, is because Pope John Paul I decreed it was the Ancient One’s duty to protect and keep the book safe. He even manages to get a phone number. He calls Dr. Strange, but a Lee Wong answers the phone and tells him that the master is out. He is unable to give him the ancient text.

Act 6
Dante arrives at the bus station. The station is rather empty. On the left is a opened café and on the right closed stores. The only other person is the place, besides the tattooed guy in the café is the lady at the front counter. He walks over to the lockers and opens locker 69 and inserts the book of Cthulu (the book is not the real thing, just a blank copy). Walking into the station is Angelica and a new guy, Chelise Reed. Dante walks over to greet Angelica. They begin to converse when a bus pulls up. Rushing in is an entire football team of FIVs (F-ing Illinois Vampires).
Dante rushes forward along with Angelica. Angelica dusts one, two, and then three. Dante is becomes surrounded and whirls his axe and decapitates five more. On the other side John is finding himself surrounded, he manages to dust one, when suddenly the café guy and counter girl pull out swords. More FIVs rush in. The bus pulls away.
The FIVs grab, but Dante manages to wiggle out. Angelica is also grabbed by to FIVs and both her arms are pinned. The Café guy is covered in FIVs, but the counter girls manages to decapitate two FIVs through the wall with the sword. John fights a couple of FIVs and manages to dust them both. The bus drives away.
Angelica manages to push both vamps right through the heart with the stakes. Dante struggles free and decapitates another FIV. The café guy is mauled by FIVs, but the counter girl grabs a hose and turns on the holy water. John fights his way over to the café guy. The bus turns around.
One of the FIVs pulls out two guns and starts shooting wildly, it’s Debbie. She hits a number of FIVs, but little damage. She even manages to shoot John repeatedly, miraculously John survives. John gets tackled to the ground and is drained in a matter of moments (RIP).
Debbie attempts to shoot Dante, but he manages to dodge the bullet. Angelica sneaks up behind her and knocks her out. Most of the FIVs are gone, but suddenly the bus comes crashing through the building throwing the bus driver out through the windshield. Luckily everyone manages to miss the bus as it crashes through two thirds of the building. The bus driver gets up turns towards Dante and hisses. Gabby Blades says “I’ll be back, its not over yet. Besides I have some pain to give out to a certain invisible man. Oh by the way lover I owe you a few!” She grabs both guns and shoots the door prior to jumping through it.

The police arrive along with Police Chief Nesser. “Dante, what in the world is going on tonight first Tristy’s and now here” Dante responds by grabbing Debbie and lifting her head up. Debbie’s eyes open up and she attempts to leap at her father and suck him dry, but she is tied up and being held by Dante. Chief Nesser pulls back in shock and terror. Some hideous creature that looks just like his little Debbie “sweet cakes” is trying to tear him apart. He shouts “That, that thing, it can’t be” Dante calmly says “Yes; it’s your daughter, Debbie.” Chief Nesser continues “No way, get that thing away from me, do what ever it takes but get it away from me and get my daughter back.” Dante says “I will try, but she will never be the same again. I will have to leave now?” Chief Nesser continues “Fine, I’ll cover for you this time, but never again. This is a huge mess, between this and the school. You owe me big time!”
