Logan awoke as the sun set. He felt better than he had in a month; it was always that way when he had the proper amount of that drug. He smiled watching the sun set. He donned the uniform again and walked downstairs and saw the rest of the troops. They looked much refreshed. He hoped Seras would be alright, for an instant, last night he thought that she would turn on him but thankfully she kept her control. He looked about still seeing the bruises and such on the solders he had fought and he couldn't help but chuckle. He would have to tell them about the weakness in their formations maybe he would talk to his Commander about that.
Seras was still laying in bed, just like she had been all damn night. She let out another long sigh as the coffin top rose once again without a night of rest and sleep. She pushed herself up and threw the uniform off, grabbing a pair of jeans and another shirt and the uniform jacket. She didn't care. Integra could say whatever the hell she wanted so say, but she didn't feel like wearing a damn uniform all night. She walked out of her chambers and down to Integra's office. She knocked once and walked inside. "Excuse me, Sir Integra... Do you have any missions for me and my troops tonight?"
Integra looked up. "Not as of yet, but keep them ready. I see you've taken Logan out for a bit of a hunt and he met the Paladin." Seras's fists clenched.
"Yes, and this time, Sir Integra, he's not coming back to bother us. If not forever, than for a very long ass time." She said bluntly.
Integra looked into her eyes, seeing the bags beneath them. "I will call you if there is a mission for tonight. Keep them ready and tell them to pack up. If not, you'll be going to downtown London. It's getting worse..." Seras nodded and simply disappeared. She reappeared in front of her troops. "I'm glad you had rest last night. Pack up." She ordered.
Logan loaded his backpack with some clips grenades and energy cells for his fire wire as well as some more destructive toys. He slung a Sheyr 5055 over his back just incase they needed a sniper, He loved this gun and used it anytime long range demolitions were needed. He also packed plenty of ammo for it and a backup radio as well as a P.D.A. with GPS and trackers loaded for all of the troops. He could survey the battlefield at a moments notice and help them change tactics to suit the situation.
Seras waited a couple of hours and sighed. She was tired of waiting, tired of this place, tired of everyone including herself. She turned, her eyes a darker hint of red than usual. "LOAD UP!" She ordered as she got into the front of the truck. She knew it wouldn't be a good idea to be in a truck full of troops... human troops at that. She slammed the door behind her and looked over to the driver. "Once they get in, go downtown... Drop us off and wait in the Diner Parking lot about a mile and half down. I'll call you when we need you." The driver nodded.
Logan stepped to the truck and sat in the back with his PDA using the map and cross-referencing Hellsing's database. He prioritized the 3 most likely locations they would be sent. He tied into a satellite feed of the 3 areas and observed feeding data back into the Hellsing mainframe updating their data to account for growth of the enemy and submitting new tactics and figures for the optimal percentage chance of success. When they reached downtown, he looked about and decided to take it to the roof. He looked to Furguson and said, "Sir, request permission to set up a long range sniping position from the roof of that building?" He nodded and Logan leapt to the top with his rifle and backpack. He now observed the largest group directly and he could do some serious damage from here if he wanted too.
Seras slowly got out of the truck, turning to watch Logan jump to the roof top. She smirked softly and turned to the rest of them. "Fan out," she said. They could tell she wasn't in a very good mood. She wasn't her feisty, bitchy little self. "Logan has our backs. He has the pack, so two way him if your in trouble. He has a good aim for the whole path up there. So he can move around and get a good shot." She reached down, loading her gun with the special ammo. She sighed. "Johnson, pick three and go down 82nd Street; Yernt, do the same and go down Turn tail. Gorganizamos and the rest of you, you're with me. Remember I said this is going to be our longest mission yet, take your time and make sure there are no casualties. We'll meet up right here." She pointed to one of the buildings. Make sure you have all your ammo you need because the truck isn't going to be here. Now, go..." She ordered and they did as ordered. She looked up to Logan and loaded some of her other guns. She sighed, placing them back into the holster. "Gorganizamos... Beaufort, Villano... Come with me..." She said, heading for the deepest, darkest part of the city.
Logan fixed an ear piece as he saw Furguson approach him from the fire escape. "How's the situation?"
Logan smiled as he loaded a shell that was almost as big as a pistol. "We have heavy resistance on these streets," he said pointing out the 3 heaviest streets. "I'm planning on making several surgical strikes to distract the ghouls and hopefully throw them off balance enough to make them easy targets." Furguson nodded and took the pad which was okay since he already linked the computer targeting system with the PDA and to the satellite. He pressed a few buttons and dialed the zoom feature forward, "the teams are approaching optimal range for the beginning of the operation."
Furguson nodded. "Open fire."
Logan smiled, "This is observation point to all units, I'm about to make a loud noise. We'll use this as the distraction. Move in on the first shot commence mission now." With that he pulled the trigger and a loud shot rang out and then a huge explosion could be heard. Logan ejected the huge smoking shell and loaded another and fired and again and again and again as the troops rushed in setting up lines of fire. He then switched over to 50 cal shells loaded with silver and burst shells that were loaded with silver nitrate and holy water so that when it reached optimal target range and height it would explode raining death upon the ghouls, leaving the men unharmed.
The men started running, gunfire exploded into the night. Seras pulled out from the shadows, immediately shooting a ghoul that was reaching for her. She grinned. "Fire." She said and the ones behind her did as told. She shot each one as she walked into the crowd of ghouls. They turned towards them and she took out each one that was even near her. She really didn't need the guns, but she would be too tired by the end of the night to not get any sleep. The ghouls screamed a monotone sound of death as they simply burst into ash. The crowd of them was getting smaller and smaller as Seras's eyes were growing bigger and bigger. She looked around. More are coming to your left, I can feel them now. They're hiding the main vampire. She sent to Logan with another sigh. She reloaded slowly and slapped the clip in and shot another through the eye. She turned to her troops. They were having trouble keeping up. The deeper they got into the crowd, the more difficult they were. Good, she thought. The whole city was overrun. It was a lot of ghouls. It was probably the whole damn city. She could even see children in the groups. She blinked. Fuckers.
Logan nodded, "All teams, are you ready for some rain? Seras, you better pull back. I'll fire over your position last." He fired a nitrate bullet over each position except Seras's then he turned and saw the main vampire appear and suddenly, he could feel him right beside him and heard Furguson firing rapidly.
"Fuck," he said as he stood and saw the vampire grab onto Furguson. Logan pulled his 45 and unloaded on the vampire which was enough to make him drop Furguson and come at him but the odd thing was is that this vampire wasn't dying. He hit him in the head and heart about 5 times each. "Seras, what the fuck is this thing? I've hit it in its vitals and its not ash, oh shit!" Was the last thing he said as it got a little too close. He pulled out his other gun and began firing.
Seras cursed. "Stay here." She ordered them. She disappeared and grabbed the vampire from behind before he even reached Logan. She roared and shot the fucker in the head. Most main vampires didn't go down with just regular bullets. She looked over to Furgeson, making sure he was alright. He got up slowly and quickly moved out of the way. Smart idea. "Cowardly fucker." She grabbed the gun with the special ammo out and aimed for him. "It's time for this cockroach to get his head cut off."
Logan had recieved a gash across his shoulder just as Seras grabbed him. "This ones mine!" Was all he said before he literally disappeared only to reappear behind the vampire and with the fire wire. He lashed it around the vampire and pulled it tight, the vampire began to scream as Logan dove backwards head first off the building holding the vampire above him so that the vampire would hit first. He opened a silver nitrate bullet and dropped it. It formed a pool on the ground as Logan began to spin incredibly fast becoming a large fiery tornado, until he smashed the vampires head into the pool of silver. He screamed once then ashed away leaving nothing not even a freak chip behind.
Logan stood there looking down at the ash, "but I thought all freaks had a chip? Oh well." He leapt to the roof an landed his wound had already stopped bleeding and he looked to Seras. "Sorry, about that."
She watched him and was actually impressed. She looked down to his wound and back up into his eyes. "Nice." Was all she said. She didn't feel like having a conversation. She was too tired to comment about his ass, she was too tired to do anything else but kill these bastards. She turned, her eyes brightening as the moon waved across the sky away from the dark clouds. "It's time to regroup. There aren't any up where I was, anymore anyway. The whole city is like this." Go up to Turn tail, she sent to her troops. Her and Logan would go to 82nd and take care of what was left. It would take a while.
Logan nodded, still holding his shoulder while it repaired the Subdural damage. He winced but then took his hand away the wound nearly fully healed itself. "Let's go. Now, they've really pissed me off." He looked to her and leaped from one roof to the next, heading to 82nd street. Now, they would all know pain and death.
