Chapter 3

Hellsing

Detroit, Michigan

Integra's private jet soared through the air as quickly as it could. Seras and the pilot were the only ones on board to save time. They quickly reached the shores of the United States and the pilot turned the plane to head for Detroit. Seras was meditating in her coffin, she was resting her body but her mind was aware of everything. She fully awakened when the pilot said over the intercom, "We're right over Detroit, Inspector Victoria." Seras got out of her coffin and went to the door of the plane. "Good luck," the pilot yelled and Seras gave him the thumbs up sign before opening the door and jumping out. She sailed through the air for miles. She could smell the fire, the rotting corpses, the blood, and the rot through the air. The smell was oddly exciting for her.

I'm turning into Master, Seras thought as she finally formed her shadow arm into a wing and slowed her descent enough to land. Seras looked around and saw that she was surrounded by ghouls. She opened her Third Eye and saw that Danny and Vlad were twenty miles to the Northwest, and Danny's life force was fading. "Pip, let's go!" Seras yelled as she drew her Leto Automatic .50 caliber handgun with her real arm as Pip came out of her shadow arm wielding bother her Harkonnen cannons. Vampire and Familiar roared as they fired away at the ghouls surrounding them, killing them all as Seras ran to the Northwest, ghouls dying everywhere as they went. She saw Vlad holding a bleeding Danny by his throat and took aim, shooting Vlad's arm off at the elbow.

"WHAT!?" Vlad yelled as Seras shot at him again. Vlad dodged her shots and blasted a ghost ray at her. Seras and Pip separated and dodged his blast. "Take this you bastard!" Pip yelled as he blasted the Harkonnens at him. Vlad formed a black ecto-energy shield and blocked his shots, giving Seras the distraction she needed to grab Danny and get him safely away from Vlad. She got to a clear corner near a Hospital and set him down, Seras gasped at what she saw. Danny's face was covered in blood, his jaw didn't look right at all, his nose was flattened, and she felt the bones in his body were broken. What shocked her the most were his eyes. Where his eyes had once been there was only a charred blackened line of flesh. "Danny, can you hear me?" Seras asked him. Red blood spilled out of his mouth as he gasped, "…ras."

I can't save him and fight Plasmius at once! Seras thought then Pip telepathically yelled, Seras! I need your help Mignonette, I'm running low on ammo and I'm not hitting the son of a bitch! Seras took one more look at Danny and said, "I'm sorry Danny," then ran to help Pip. She saw as Pip's ammo ran out and quickly got behind Vlad just as his shield went down. Seras kicked Vlad's back as hard as she could and Pip swung one of the Harkonnens as hard as he could, slamming into Vlad and sending him crashing through a bistro. Pip dropped them and went over to Seras, "How much ammo do you got left?" "Three magazines," Seras answered as they ran after Plasmius. "Make them count," Pip told her.

Suddenly Vlad flew out of the bistro and slammed into them with his arms outstretched, breaking Seras's neck and forced them to slam into a nearby building's brick wall, fracturing her spine and skull. Seras quickly brought her arm to bear and fired at Vlad. Vlad dodged her bullets with lightning reflexes, but it bought Pip time to turn into a shadow and wrap himself around Vlad's legs. Seras's last two bullets hit Vlad full on in his chest; creating a massive hole between his arms and making him cough up blood. Pip let go of Vlad and Seras changed her magazine. Suddenly shadows filled Vlad's chest and he stood up and glared at them. "No fucking way," Pip whispered. "That might have worked on any other being," Vlad said, "but I am beyond anything you've ever faced before."

Vlad raised his hand and a black bolt shot out faster than Seras could dodge it. Pip quickly got in front of her and took the hit. Black electricity surged through the familiar and he screamed in pain and horror. Seras could only watch as Pip's form exploded and he was gone. "PIP!" Seras screamed. Her eyes glowed dark red as she shot at Vlad as fast as her gun's mechanism allowed and charged right at him. Vlad barely dodged her bullets before Seras grabbed his head with her right hand and then fired four more bullets into his torso. She then sank her fangs into his throat and tore it out, green and red blood spewed everywhere as Seras quickly changed magazines, her last one. Just as she brought her gun to shoot Vlad blasted a black ghost ray, destroying her real arm and her gun with it.

Vlad's throat barely healed before he shot another ghost ray through Seras's stomach. Seras coughed up blood and fell back. Her wounds were healing slower than usual now. Seras, she heard Pip's voice whisper, hang on. Seras felt a small shadow go into her arm and her stomach healed just in time for her to jump up and kick Vlad in his chin. Vlad grabbed her leg and then tore it off at the knee and kicked her in her face, breaking her jaw and nose and sending her flying back ten yards. I can't remake my body, whatever he did destroyed it for good. I'm sorry Seras, Pip said in her head as her leg, arm, and head healed. He's too strong, I can't beat him by myself, Seras realized.

Vlad walked over to her, and he looked like he was tired. At least I put a dent in him, Seras thought as she got ready to do or die. All of a sudden a white blur flew in front of her and green fire blasted at Vlad. Vlad shrieked in pain as he flew back from the blur then blasted it with a ghost ray to make it stop. Seras saw a tall woman with white hair and green eyes wearing black and white pants with white boots and a cutoff shirt that was half black and half white with one black glove and one white glove. "It's been a long time, Father," the woman said. "Danielle," Vlad hissed.

Vlad then looked down and smirked, "You can fight me, or save Daniel, you can't do both!" Seras looked and saw ghouls surrounding Danny's prone form. Danielle looked down and saw them too. "Damn you Vlad!" Danielle yelled as she flew down and Seras ran for Danny. Seras and Danielle punched and kicked at ghouls all around before they reached Danny and Danielle summoned a large ecto-energy shield around the three of them. "Who the Hell are you? What are you!?" Danielle asked. "I'm a friend, that's all you need to know," Seras told her, then saw the ghouls banging on the energy shield. "We need to get Danny to a Hospital now, you take him, I'll keep the ghouls off you," Seras told Danielle. Danielle looked at Danny and gasped, "Danny, what did Vlad do to you?" "We don't have time for that! I can sense his life force fading, you need to go now!" Seras yelled.

Danielle's energy shield exploded out, disintegrating the ghouls around them. An exact copy of her then formed and the two Danielle's gently picked up Danny and flew off. Seras then summoned up all her rage and energy and looked around as more ghouls arrived. With a massive screech she charged at them, punching, kicking, biting, tearing and breaking every ghoul she saw. For the next hour all around her was a swirling hurricane of blood and flesh as she destroyed every ghoul she came across. Blood splattered all around her, all over her as she continued with the slaughter. When the ghouls were all killed at last Seras looked all around, a mountain of corpses and pieces of them surrounded her. Seras looked at her body and saw that she was covered head to toe with blood. Seras concentrated and absorbed all the blood on her body.

Her mind was flooded with images of the ghoul's last moments. Some were killed by their own family, others by vampires; only a few were actually killed and turned by Vlad himself. She realized that the memories weren't of Detroit; many of them came from other places. Vlad must have been collecting them; he raised an army of ghouls! She realized. I need to get to the airport the plane landed at, I need to tell Integra right away, Seras thought as she located the pilot of the jet and then jumped up into the air and turned into a red streak as she flew right for him.
