Integra woke yawning, she stood and walked into her bathroom, washing her face off and looking herself in the mirror, she fixed her hair and put her uniform on.
"Sir Integra." Walter said, walking in with a trey of food, "good to see you woke yourself up today."
"Hello Walter," she said, "what's on the agenda today?"
"Well, first is breakfast," he said, putting the trey down, "Then you have a meeting with the heads of the other branches."
She sighed, after the Millennium incident many countries had employed the Hellsing organization, hundreds of bases had sprung up in the Americas, most of Europe (except for Italy), and Asia, and once every six months she would have a meeting with the commanders of the other branches, which usually led to bickering and fighting over who had the hardest country to protect, "Do we have to?" she asked, "can't they just stay at their own bases for once?"
"Sorry Integra, but it has to be done." Walter said, "Now, eat your breakfast, before it gets cold."
Alucard sat in his Dungeon, swishing his blood wine in it's glass, "ah, so peaceful, so quiet…" he said, "Makes me sick." He sighed and stood up, walking to his coffin and putting a hand on it, he hadn't been allowed to leave his dungeon to go out and kill vampires, the last job he had was a year ago, and it was to kill some weak vampire posing as a diplomat, "waiting bores me so," he muttered, "maybe Sir Integra will allow me to sit in at the meeting today."
Suddenly a sharp lance of pain shot through his heart, he let out a gasp and held his chest, "what…" he said stunned, he looked up, "No…it can't be…someone is attacking my home…" he stood up, a scowl coming across his face, "someone dares to attack my place of birth!" he looked up, his whole body trembling, "WHO! WHO IS ARROGANT ENOUGH TO TRY!"
Integra felt a tremor rock the entire estate, "what is going on?" she muttered.
"MA'AM!" a soldier shouted, running over to her, "we've just received word that the Romanian branch has been attacked!"
"What!" she stood up.
"We got a call from the commander of the Romanian branch, as of right now, they are under attack by a massive force, we have a direct line of communication with him right now!"
Integra ran towards the communications room, as soon as she stepped into the room her ears were assaulted by the sounds of fighting.
"We need reinforcements!" a voice shouted over the radio shouted, "They got us surrounded, we're completely cut off!"
"This is Sir Integra Hellsing with Hellsing's main headquarters!" Integra shouted, "Commander Augustine what's the situation!"
"We were about to leave for the meeting, when a horde of vampires attacked, they've overrun most of the castle, me and what's left of my men are held up in the armory, please, send back up now!"
"What are you waiting for? Send the back up!" Integra shouted.
"The only units close enough to help won't get there in time," the operator said.
"Damn it they're breaking through!" Augustine shouted, "men! Load up and find some cover!"
An explosion sounded, the sound of machine gun fire, snarls, and explosions filled the air, "there's too many! There's too many! Damn it! We can't hold them back we can't-" the line suddenly cut.
"Commander Augustine." Integra said, "Commander Augustine respond…John! John are you there!"
"He's dead ma'am." The operator said, "probably his entire battalion too."
"H-hello?" a shaky voice asked, "please…someone…anyone…answer!"
"Who is this?" Integra asked, "Identify yourself."
"I-I'm Emile, a-and I work in…in the communications room...please…please help me!"
"Calm down Emile, we'll get you out soon."
"Please hurry! I can hear something trying to break down the door…I don't want to die!"
"You won't die now calm down!"
The sound of the door busting open made Integra jump, "PLEASE HELP ME! PLEASE OH PLEASE, AAAAAAAGH!"
"Emile!" Integra shouted.
"Integra Hellsing," a smooth voice said, "leader of the Hellsing Organization, it is good talking to you, even though I cannot meet you face to face."
"Who are you," Integra asked angrily, "and why are you killing all my men?"
"I am Dracula," he said, "and I killed you're men to retake my home."
Integra's eyes widened.
"You dare to call yourself Dracula?" Alucard's deep and menacing voice snarled, "You dare take my name and slander it?"
He laughed, "oh Alucard, the pet of the humans, you lost the right to my name when you were turned into Hellsing's lap dog!"
"Be careful filth," Alucard growled, "you're treading a dangerous path!"
"You're nothing but a weakling Alucard, a puppet of the humans!"
"I'll rip you limb from limb!" Alucard snarled.
"Then do it, I'll be waiting in my home, come if you're strong enough Alucard." The line cut off.
"Alucard what's going on?"
"He wants to challenge me?" Alucard growled, "He wants to take my throne? Well then, show me what you can do, show me your strength!"
"Alucard! I order you to tell me what's going on!"
Alucard turned to her, "a challenger has come to throw me off of my throne," he said, "and I accept his challenge, if only to alleviate my boredom."
"Alucard.'
"I will be heading to Romania in a few minutes," Alucard said, walking out, "Police girl will accompany me."
"Wait just a minute!"
He turned around, "Don't try to stop me." He growled, "This is something beyond your comprehension." And with that he disappeared.
Seras reloaded her rifle, letting out a sigh, "is something wrong Mistress?" a deep voice asked, she looked up as a large muscular man walked in, his long white hair stopping at his shoulders, and his blue eyes piercing the night, his white muscle-shirt skin tight, showing off his muscles and tucked into his black cargo pants.
"Nothing's wrong Deija," Seras said with a smile, she had met the young man in Russia and had saved him from being killed by a group of angry villagers, since then he's been by her side, saying that he owes her a life debt, "I'm just reloading my gun."
He nodded, "I hear your going with the Vampire King to Romania," he said, "Do you need me to accompany you Mistress?"
"If you want," Seras said, "too be honest, I don't know why he wants me to go, I wouldn't be any use since he'll be in a one on one fight…too be honest if I wanted to I could just say know and stay here."
"Then why don't you?" he asked, "your not his fledgling anymore."
"I may not be his fledgling anymore, but I just can't say no to him."
He nodded, "I understand." He said, he looked up at the sky, "Tonight's a full moon isn't it?"
"Yes, you'll be stronger tonight."
He smiled, showing his sharp teeth, "that's good." He said, picking up a leather Greatcoat and putting it on.
"Police Girl," Alucard said, materializing in front of her, "lets go, put your mutt on a leash too."
Deija growled, standing up.
"Shut it," Alucard snarled, "I'm in no mood to deal with you right now." He turned, "hurry up Police Girl, time is of the essence."
Seras watched as Alucard walked up to his home, a large stone castle, "Alucard, what do you need me to do?" she asked.
"I want you and the mutt to find the survivors of this base," he said, "I don't know if there are any survivors or even if there are any bodies, but it can't hurt to look."
"So find the survivors and meet you back here?"
"No, find the survivors and get them out of the country," He said, "there's a helicopter on stand-by not too far from here, shoot a flare up and it will come, I will see you back at headquarters Seras."
"Yes sir!" Seras said, saluting.
He smirked, and walked in.
"Deija, do you smell any survivors?"
Deija lifted his head and took a deep sniff, "there's some in a tower not far from here, I don't think the Vampire who attacked knew about them, that or they don't care."
"Then lets go get them, before they do find out." Seras jumped and landed on top of the ramparts of the castle, Deija quickly landing behind her, they slowly made through the castle.
Alucard walked into the courtyard, "home sweet home," he said with a smile, as soon as he said that, hundreds of Vampires appeared, surrounding him, "so this isn't a one on one fight?" he asked, "was it just a ruse so that you could try to kill me?"
"Count Dracula has more important things to do then to fight you." one snarled, "get him!"
Alucard smiled as the vampires jumped at him, "Release control art Restriction Systems three…two…one, approval of situation A recognized. Commencing the Cromwell invocation. Ability restrictions lifted for limited use until the enemy has been rendered silent."
Seras stopped running as she heard the screams of dying Vampires, "guess Alucard's doing his thing." She said.
"He sometimes scares me." Deija said.
She nodded, "now lets find the survivors."
He nodded.
Alucard stood in the middle of the blood stained courtyard, the hound of Baskerville walking around his legs, "too easy," he said, looking at the surviving Vampires, "anyone else want to try?"
Immediately the sounds of hundreds of guns being loaded sounded, Alucard looked around and realized that even more Vampires had appeared and now had sophisticated machine guns pointed at his head, "You'll die now Alucard!"
He laughed, "Baskerville, take them."
Seras walked up a spiral staircase, "are you sure they're in here?"
"I promise," Deija said, "allow me to open the door for you mistress." He said.
"Can you stop calling me that."
"Why? You are my mistress."
Seras sighed, "Never mind."
He nodded, and then turned to the door, quickly kicking it in, as soon as the door was kicked in Deija got a gun barrel shoved into his face, "one move and you die!"
"Stand down," Seras growled, pointing her own gun into the man's face, "Wait…Jack Stryker?"
"Seras!" he said surprised, "damn you sure do know how to scare us." He said, he turned around, "Men! It's all right! It's only Seras and…some gigantic guy…" immediately more men appeared, coming out from behind boxes and crates, "so who is this?"
"His name is Deija," Seras said, "I met him in Russia on my last mission."
"Well your lucky," he said to her, "If she hadn't stopped me I would've shot your head off."
"No you wouldn't have." He said.
"And why not?" Jack asked, raising his gun up again.
Deija grabbed the barrel of the gun and bent it to the side, "because your gun can't fire." He said, and then turned around, "I will make sure no Vampires come by Mistress," he said, walking down the stairs.
"Okay Deija thanks!" Seras shouted back.
"You got him whipped don't you?"
"I'm not forcing him to say it, he just…say's it on his own." She said, scratching her head, "Now…how many survived? "
"A good thirty," he said, "we sent out five to see if we could escape but…they never came back."
"Alright, we need to get out of here before the enemy finds out we're here."
"Alright then, Men! Get ready to move out!"
Mistress, Deija's voice said telepathically, I can see Alucard's fight; he has almost every vampire within this castle drawn to him.
The one on one battle was a lie? Seras asked.
It appears so mistress…I'll keep you posted until its time to leave.
Seras nodded, "alright you lot, lets get ready to leave!"
Alucard laughed at the remaining vampires, "Did you really think you could kill me?"
"No…not kill you…" one growled, "distract you."
"Distract me from what? Pray-tell."
"From this." Someone said behind him, he turned around and saw an old man holding a weird box made of a shiny white material, the man opened the box a powerful suction started to pull Alucard towards it, "what is this!" he snarled.
"A prison," the old man said, "For the No-life king."
Alucard let out a roar as he was sucked into the white box.
The old man closed the box, "forgive me…" he whispered.
Seras fell to the ground in pain, "What is this?" She muttered, they were about a mile from the castle when she felt a sharp pain in her chest.
"Seras, what's wrong?" Jack asked.
"I…I don't know…" she mumbled, she heard someone running towards them and turned around, seeing Deija come to a skidding halt, breathing hard, "Deija! What happened?'
He looked at her, shaking his head, "the No-life king has been captured." He said.
"What?" she asked, "but that's…that's impossible! He can't have been captured! He's…he's Alucard!"
"Mistress…I promise you… he has been captured."
"No… Sergeant Stryker, we need to go back and save Alucard!"
"Seras…we don't have the man power…" he started.
"I don't care!" Seras shouted, "We need to save him!"
"Seras!" Deija shouted angrily, "There's nothing we can do for him!"
Seras looked at him "I won't leave him Deija!"
He sighed, "Fine," he growled, then punched her in her jaw, she flew back and slammed into a tree, Jack ran over to her, she was out cold, "are you crazy!" he shouted, his men pointing their guns at Deija.
"I had no choice," he growled, "if I hadn't knocked her out then she would've tried to save Alucard, and would have gotten herself killed."
He nodded in understanding.
Deija walked over to her bag and opened it up; he pulled out a flare and shot it into the air.
The old man walked into the throne room of Dracula's castle, sitting on the old dusty throne was a young man, his long black hair tied back in a pony tail, keeping it out of his red eyes, his clothes were reminiscent of 1700 men, with a black cape around his shoulders, "ah bookman." He said, standing up, "Did you accomplish it?"
"He's trapped inside sir," he said, tossing the white box to him, "no way out for him on the inside."
"Good job Bookman, your services are appreciated."
"I don't care," he said, "you made me go against my former master, a man who cared for me."
"Oh shut up." He growled, "You're my slave now."
He sighed, "I really have fallen," he muttered, "a slave to a monster so weak as yourself."
"Watch your tongue!"
"Why else would you have had me use the box?"
"I said watch your tongue Bookman!" he snarled, "Go find Terrian, tell him to begin the attacks."
'I guess you'll be staying here, am I right?"
He glared at Bookman, "don't forget, I hold the key to your life, continue speaking like you are and I will kill you!"
"I look forward to it sir." Bookman said and left, leaving the young vampire seething.
