Integral surveyed the battle site from the safety and comfort of her limo parked on a slight hill overlooking a small sleepy town under a full 'blood' moon.
The Hellsing organization had been given a report of vampire activity involving the town. Intelligence reports placed one chipped vampire and about 15-20 ghouls in their area. Hardly even a challenge for Seras Victoria let alone requiring the services of Alucard but Integral had a bad feeling bordering on a premonition about this town so she had Walter drive her to the site to see for herself. Alucard stood beside the car to act as a relay between his master and his fledgling since Integral had no direct connection to her. He also was acting as a body guard for Integral if indeed the situation was more dire than first reported.
Integral under pressure from her premonition almost insisted that Alucard accompany his fledgling into the town but Alucard dismissed her concerns with a wave of his hand.
"Police girl is more than a match for any pathetic chipped trash vampires we have encountered. I almost hope the reports are wrong and that there is more of a threat here. She could use the extra practice." Alucard stated and then tilted his head as if listening to something only he could hear. Considering his telepathic connection with his fledgling he was probably doing just that.
"Your human 'intelligence' reports have once again proven to be incorrect." He suddenly said. "There are in fact three chipped vampires and nearly fifty ghouls in that town." Breaking out into one of his usual insane grins he corrected himself. "Make that two chipped trash. One of them was a male and he just tried to grope Police Girl's chest. She returned the favor by plunging her hand through his chest." He stated proudly.
"Does Agent Victoria require assistance with the remaining two vampires?" Integral calmly asked.
Alucard didn't reply but merely looked over the rim of his glasses down at Integral as if she had insulted him. Almost instantly his insane grin twitched. "One chipped vampire is left; this trash is even weaker and more pathetic than usual. Even my fledgling is getting bored and annoyed by them."
Walter walked over to stand next to Alucard as they peered towards the darkened town. "I have yet to hear a single gunshot fired. What of the ghouls?"
Alucard glanced at the ex 'Angel of Death' and shrugged. "Seras decided to ignore the ghouls in favor of taking out the chipped vampires before they could turn any more possible living humans into more ghouls." Alucard's face lit up in unholy delight causing both Walter and Integral to glance at one another.
"What is it?" Integral asked.
"My fledgling is taunting and tormenting the final mock vampire. I hadn't realized she had it in her." Alucard explained as he chuckled. "I also didn't know she knew such language." He added as he cocked his head to the side. "Such colorful language." If Integral didn't know better she would have thought he had a note of admiration in his voice for whatever choice terms Seras was using to taunt the vampire down in the town.
A loud boom was heard from the town and a single large building in the center of the town had its interior briefly lit up by a massive explosion. "Ah. I see..." Alucard drawled.
Walter looked sharply at him causing Alucard to explain. "Police Girl was tormenting the last trash to make her call the ghouls to her aid. As the creatures poured into the city hall through the front door Police Girl fired a single shot and took them all out. While I congratulate her on ammunition conservation she needs to learn to have more fun with her kills. She'll now clean up the last..." Alucard's voice drifted off and he frowned as he concentrated harder on the thoughts and impressions he was getting from his fledgling.
The sense of impeding dread suddenly got stronger in Integral. "Report. What is going on?"
"I am getting disjointed and fearful thoughts from our little Police Girl. It would seem that after taking out the ghouls she turned to finish destroying the last mock vampire but found her already dead, pierced by dozens of silver swords."
"Father Anderson is back." Integral stated as she rubbed at her forehead, an angry headache already forming. It was less than just two weeks ago that Anderson had last attacked her organization and at that time, much to his chagrin, he had been badly beaten but not by Alucard but by Seras herself. The young fledgling vampire had recently taken to drinking the blood provided to her and dedicating herself to becoming the best vampire she could be and the subsequent boost in power caught not only her but Anderson himself by surprise.
Father Anderson had fled but not before pledging to get his revenge against, as he put it, the wee Draculina.
Even though Seras had beaten Anderson to a standstill she still had a fear of the obsessed Catholic Paladin having him once shove one of his blessed swords through her throat. Being blessed the wound from the sword never fully regenerated and Seras continued to have a small scar to this day.
"Alucard go and help Seras against that mad priest." Integral ordered tiredly. If this was what her premonition had been about, it was a wasted fear. Integral knew that if push came to shove that Seras if not a match for the priest could still hold her own until Alucard could show up to back her up.
"As you command my Master." Alucard says with a bow and fades from view. Oddly the strange feeling of dread didn't lessen any causing Integral to order Walter to get her to that town.
As the limo arrives in front of the city town hall Integral finds Alucard standing outside the building. The doors to the large building are missing, presumed to have been destroyed when Seras fired her Harkonnen cannon destroying the invading ghouls, but the entrance to the building is surrounded by shifting dark shadows.
"Why have you not backed up Seras yet servant?" Integral asks.
Alucard shoots her an annoyed look and gestures at the shadows. "It would seem that the Judas Priest has learned a new trick. I cannot enter and I do not know why."
Walter leaving the driver's side walks over to stand beside Alucard. "A new form of scripture barrier?" He asks.
Shaking his head Alucard scowls. "No, this does not feel of purity or religious tricks. Quite the opposite actually, this feels very demonic indeed."
Just as Integral is about to order Alucard to find a way to help Seras an explosion of light comes through the front doorway of the City Hall blowing the shadows away, also blown through the doorway is the body of Seras that sails through the air to crash on the other side of the car.
Father Anderson appears in the doorway scant moments later carrying an enormous book under his arm. "Now let's see how fierce ye are, you unholy Draculina!" He shouts before spotting Alucard, Walter and the black limo with Integral in the back seat.
"Ah good! I kinna kill two vermin at the same time." Anderson says and awkwardly juggles the book under his arm up so he can try to open it.
"Master." Seras' voice calls out weakly from the other side of the car. "Don't let him read from the book."
Not hesitating to question his fledgling, Alucard pulls one of his massive guns from his coat and fires a single shot blowing the book Anderson had finally managed to leverage up to open into flaming bits of parchment and dark covers.
"Ye not have won this war yet black hearted devil. I will personally see ye and your wee Draculina trampled under the feet of the Vatican along with the Whore of Babylon that commands ye." Anderson shouts with a scowl. A moment later a swirl of bible pages cover him and as the pages blow away in the wind he is gone.
"Reprehensible coward." Walter scowls. "Attacks a woman and then shouts threats and flees like the Vatican dog he is."
At Anderson's appearance, Integral had exited the back seat of the limo to face him. Having seen the Paladin flee she turns her attention to where Seras had landed on the other side of the car. "Report agent Victoria, are you all right?"
"Um, I don't think so." Seras's unsure voice calls out. "I think we have a big problem sir."
Seras steps out from the shadows on the other side of the car and under the reddish glow of the 'Blood Moon' and Integral and Walter get a good look at her. Integral blinks in surprise and stares. Walter who had his gloves up to attack Anderson earlier drops them to his side in shock. Alucard who had continued to stare at the entrance to the City Hall starts to turn to look at his fledgling.
"What is the problem Police... Kitty?" He asks in shock as he finally turns and sees what the others are staring at.
In the bright moonlight it can be seen that Seras now has pointed cat ears peeking through her reddish blond hair. A long fluffy looking tail, also reddish blond is nervously sweeping back and forth behind her. While impossible to determine her eye color in the shadows of the night it can be seen that her eyes are gleaming slightly the way a cat's eyes in the dark do.
"I think Father Anderson did something to me." A slightly deeper and more sensuous but still recognizable as Seras voice unnecessarily states.
