Arianna stared out her window at the orange light in the city. From that orange emerged a think grey dust unmistakable to anyone. A fire. She could hear sirens screaming in the distance, and a few yells even. So the battle has already started.

"I've been waiting for you to move...Valentine." She closed the curtains, and lifted her sword, before walking out of her apartment, and disappearing to the night, the moon casting a long and deadly shadow behind her.

The next morning she stood in front of the Hellsing building, windows broken, flames raging inside, and a broken bus out front. She merely smirked and walked through the giant hole in the wall.

"Looks like I've been invited, don't you think?" She chuckled and looked around at all the ghouls, staring at her. Their deformed bodies slumped toward her. Some had been eating a few dead men that had fallen in combat. Her yellow eyes narrowed, and her gun was out a moment later, firing silver bullets at them all. They groaned angrily at every hit, ash falling in the place of their cold bodies.

"Gaaah!" She gasped and twisted quickly, throwing him over her shoulder, and aiming a dagger through his head. With a relieved sigh, she continued to walk down different corridors. She walked into an elevator, a sick smile as the doors closed.

-

Alucard smirked, his lip rising over his fangs. He could smell his visitor close by, and would be all too happy to greet them. He could hear the elevator, climbing to the same floor he was on, and he could already taste her.

"Miss Victoria, would you please bring your new weapon with me?" He grinned at Walter who'd just stepped in. Walter, the Hellsing butler, very old and very strong.

"Oh that...right." She lifted up the giant canon, as Walter stepped towards her. The bagged skin around his eyes lifted slightly as his lips curled into a devious smile.

"It's been a long time Angel of Death." Alucard spoke, and no one would miss the mystery in his voice. Walter merely chuckled at his old title. Alucard had known the old man for far to long, a little surprised that he was even still alive. His appearance may be funny, but his skills were no joke. He broke his thoughts as he felt a presence at the door.
So she's finally made it here...

Moment later, the door knob twisted, revealing a very welcomed guest. With a grin on his face, he stood, his raven locks falling to his cheeks, as his crimson orbs peered at her from behind his orange glasses. The blood red jacket that hung loosely around his figure unwrinkled itself at her presence.

"Welcome back, Miss Bathory."

-

Arianna smiled at the sadomasochist (yes that is a word) in front of her. He always wore that same toothy grin on his face, no matter what the situation. She found the small gesture annoying, and comforting at the same time. With a sigh, she walked past him, dropping into the chair beside him, ignoring the two others who happened to be staring at her.

"Nice to see you again, Alucard." She smirked, as she set her sword upon the table before her, palming her gun moments later, examining the design. "So, what has been going on in Hellhole?" She muttered nonchalantly, as if a vampire attack on the Knights of the Round Table was a normal thing.

"Alucard, excuse my interruption, but may I ask, who are you?" She sighed; having to introduce her name multiple times was actually annoying. While setting her head on her hand, she spoke broadly.

"Arianna Bathory." Walter nearly fell over in shock. He fixed the monocle atop his nose, as he stared at her face, trying to determine if what she'd said was true.

"You don't mean, The Bathory family do you?" He asked in a quick hurry. She smirked, her eyes moving to the corner finally settling on him.

"So you've heard of us. Wonderful, it saves time explaining." He took one last look at the female vampire before stepping out with Victoria. Arianna returned her look onto Alucard who seemed to be staring her with hidden intent. She shrugged it off, as the door close behind Walter enclosing them in darkness. The only things visible were her yellow optics and Alucard's crimson ones. "Interesting friend you've got, remind me to have a conversation with him, after I finish my business here." As her sentence ended, they both turned their heads to the door, as a very familiar acquaintance opened the door.

"Well Hello again Luke, I believe the last time we met, we left on bad terms. Care to try again?"
