Chapter 3 A New World
The dark was Jason's only advantage at this point. Even though he had devolved into his insane personality, William was still human. Thus he was limited by his humanity, and therefore would have trouble finding him.
Jason had stayed behind as the others backtracked to the surface. Jessica had fought him at first.
" I'll stay, you can get them out," she said.
" No, you know me, I have to do this."
" No you don't, I'll stay with you. You shouldn't do this alone. You always do it alone!"
" I'll be fine, I'll be even better knowing they're safe with you. Besides I wouldn't want a cutie like you getting hurt," he added with a smile.
She had to practically bite her tongue to keep from screaming at him. He's the only one who ever has to deal with William, why? Why, doesn't he let me, or any else do it.
Pip had torn off the talisman allowing them to barely escape. As Jess carried Seras out, William quickly replaced the scroll with a fresh one trapping Jason with him behind the invisible wall.
Jason duck as a second barrage of blades flew through the air and stabbed into the stone wall. Okay, can't kill him, can't use any magic, and I feel like my body is a fucking torch. How tremendously fair! He thought sarcastically.
Another trio of blades whistled through the air, one impaled him in the gut and the second the neck. " Shit!" he tried to scream (more out frustration then actual pain) but all that came out was a loud gurgle. At the sound of Jason's dead voice William turned and smiled in the dark..
" Don't worry demon, you will soon be back to your homeland, and I will send your compatriots to keep you company for your eternal punishment."
Grabbing the blade's hilt was like grabbing and red hot piece of metal, Jason could feel it burn his hand even through his glove. He tore the blade out of his throat first, followed by the one in his stomach. He dropped both bayonets on the ground and allowed his body time to heal (which had become much slower due to the barrier).
His head felt like was going the explode just from the buzzing, that almost like white noise. His vision swam in and out as he stared at the approaching giant.
You wanna die here, huh boy? a voice yelled into his head. It wasn't his, but he recognized immediately.
Jason smiled, "Frank," he whispered. " Alright, how do I beat him?"
You should know, I taught you everything, remember all weapons are double edged.
Jason knew immediately what he had to do. He closed his eyes though the barrier's fire still burnt him and the static in his head still tore at his mind, he let it go. He had learned long ago to let things wash over him. Slowly his body and mind became numb leaving the pain behind. He smiled maybe now he would stand a chance.
" Don't worry Will you'll be fine in a second." Jason said as he threw his sword like a spear and impaled William through chest. But William held his demonic smile, and threw another bayonet the tip tore through Jason's still out stretched right hand and stuck out right the elbow. Jason fell back, not so much from the pain, but from the power that had carried the blade. Jason grabbed his arm just above the blade, as long the blade was in it would be paralyzed, not that that mattered at this point. But, he also wouldn't be able to regenerate his arm until the blade was out. With one hard tug Jason ripped his arm off glad it was numb, because he didn't have enough strength left to deal with anymore pain.
He fell to his knees and grabbed his severed arm. Taking a deep breath he began to regain his stamina, as a new arm began to grow in place of the old one. It's now or never, the voice whispered. Just because you can't feel it, it doesn't mean it isn't doing a number on your body.
" Don't worry Will, soon we'll knock that haze out of your brain, and you can buy me a round."
" See if you can get close enough Demon."
The regeneration had left Jason feeling drowsy, as his strength began to fade again, it was all he could do just to stay awake. Holding a bayonet between each finger like talons William rushed him, Jason side stepped at the last second swinging his severed arm as hard as he could against William's forehead. William took a single step before stopping and turning on Jason. He rushed at him again, The haze is making him sloppy. Standing his ground Jason raised his severed arm again and brought it down with all his strength against William's face. The blade still embedded inside shattered and shrapnel tore through the arm, leaving bloody pieces of metal in William's face. Jason jammed his foot into William gut and used his mostly regenerated arm to pull out sword which was still embedded in William's chest. William let out a rasping snort like a winded bull as he took a step back dazed. From his nose twin river of crimson flowed down around his mouth, and leaked down his chin.
Holding his sword Jason flipped it to the blunt edge William came at him again with his silver talons.
Three figures exited the mansions front doors the one in front was Jessica carrying an unconscious woman in her arms. They were running in the direction of the medical truck. Which stood out from the other vehicles due to it's white canvas with the large red cross painted on the side.
Walter ran to meet them at the truck, and got his first look at what Jessica was carrying. It was a girl, well more precisely a woman, she was covered with deep wounds, and her clothes were soaked with blood.
" What happened!?" A shocked Walter asked.
" William," Bridgett replied. A woman dressed in army fatigues wearing a white armband with a red cross emblazed on it handed Jessica an injection gun.
" Alright, shoot her up," Bridgett said.
As Jessica knelt down to inject the drug into Seras, a disembodied white glove snatched it out of her hand. Turning around she saw Alucard standing there holding the injection gun. " What the hell are you doing?" Jessica yelled with both anger and surprise.
Alucard ignored her and instead fixed his attention on Seras' bloody body. " Are you just going to lie there police girl? After everything you've done is this all your worth? Get up and heal your wounds, or we'll leave you here. Maybe something might grow from the fertilizer your body becomes, then you might finally be worth something."
" Damn it Alu-," Bridgett began.
" Wait," Jessica interrupted. " She's healing."
And she was. It was slow at first, only the cuts on her legs and arms were healing. But it quickly began to speed up. Soon her blood was absorbing back into her body, like water into a sponge. When her body had been completely healed she continued to lie there, her eyes began to twitch, then flew open as she sat up.
" What happened police girl?"
" Mas- Alucard since you released me you said you would call me by my name."
" Even after all this time your still making fledgling mistakes, just like the police girl I rescued from the demonic priest. I expect better especially from a fellow Nosferatu."
She bowed her head and whispered, " Alucard."
" But you getting better, at least that's something Seras."
" Uh, thank you Alucard," Seras said as she climbed to her feet.
" Hmm, tough love," Jessica said.
" We know all about that," Bridget replied.
The silent afternoon air was broken, and replaced with shouting as a figure appeared in the broken doorway. It was Jason, and draped over his shoulder was the Paladin, with his feet dragging along the ground. As he approached the truck he dropped the priest into the bed.
" Damn! How did you take him out?" Bridgett asked.
Jason unsheathed his sword, which was now just a hilt and not much more. " I used the blunt end of my sword."
Seras who had moved to one of the bed walls scooted as far away as she could.
" What? The Judas priest is still alive?" Alucard said.
" Judas? What? This is William, a member of the Vatican special forces, he's an old friend."
" Sir Hellsing, Walter said as he approached the group. " We have finished the preparations and all salvageable supplies have been shipped out."
" First, I told you to stop calling me Sir Hellsing, my name is Bridgett. Also Where is our second Airship?"
" Well that one was blown up on the way here, unfortunately the flight crew was killed and I was the only one to survive. The other ship has already left with the supplies and is on it's way back to Manchester."
" So, Walter how are we supposed to leave?"
We'll be heading out with the convoy, it should take about three, four days. Of course tonight we'll be making a stop at Edder to rest."
" Fine, then let's get ready to leave."
There was groaning from inside the truck bed, and the giant stood up and looked around. " Where am I?"
" You went crazy again and I had to knock you out and carry you here."
" Crazy? No I, I didn't hurt anybody did I?"
" Well you attacked us, and uh you kinda got Seras. Oh, but she's a Nosferatu, so she's fine."
" Whose Seras?"
" The new vampire girl that we dug up in Mansion's basement," Jason said pointing at her.
" Oh, Sorry about that, I sometimes go a little crazy in battle."
" A little?" Jessica said.
" So the Vatican now fights with Hellsing, everything changes."
" It has to, you can't fight a global war alone. That why the Allied forces were formed."
" Sir Hellsing, the soldiers are ready to move out, if your ready."
" Let's go, there's nothing left here. And Walter call me Bridgett, that's an order."
" Sorry Sir, but that's an order I probably won't be able to follow," he said with a smile.
The drive to the rim town was a rough one, as the group of slayers were seated in the bed of the military truck. Walter was up front with Bridgett, carefully crafting a temporary blade for Jason while the rest sat around talking. They were surprised when Alucard had elected to stay in the back, figuring the aristocrat would prefer the front. The canvas that covered the bed did little to stop the heat that seemed to flood every inch of the truck.
" So where are we going?" Seras asked.
" Edder, it's a small rim town about seventy miles from the Hellsing mansion," Jason replied.
" What's a rim town?" Pip asked.
" A rim town is a town that lies just outside the Allies and Legion's influence. While they claim neutrality they will help either side for the right price. It's stupid really since in the end they'll be killed by Legion too," Jason said
" So what's this Legion and the Allies?" Seras asked.
" That will take sometime to explain, so let's have our historian tell you," he said turning to Jessica.
" Legion for they are many, the first demon to be exorcised. How, appropriate for an army of darkness," Alucard replied. I assume you can't handle them on your own, so that's why you woke us up. A last ditch plan from a forgotten age."
" How did this happen?" Pip asked.
" Well it started about a thousand years ago, a man named Samuel aligned himself with small demon groups. At the time they were nothing just a handful of vampires and were wolfs. He was strong, but the odd thing was that he wasn't even a demon or so the records say. Over the span of several decades he secretly built an army, and launched his attack not long after the close of WWIII. It was devastating bringing some of the most powerful nations to their knees. In order to survive every remaining army, national or privately owned joined forces. Unfortunately even with that many soldiers and even several hundred demons, all they could do was slow them down. Now here we are a thousand years of war has reduced humanity to only a handful of cities," Jessica said.
" How many are left?" Seras asked.
" Eight-teen, five Vatican cities joint controlled, and the rest exclusively controlled by the Allies," Jason said.
" These cities are not like the ones form your time," Jess said. " They're military bases giant ones, covering hundreds of square miles. They're called glacier cities, because only a tenth is above ground."
" What happened to the world, is it all a big desert?" Seras asked.
" Most of it," Jason replied. " Nuclear weapons did well to soften it, and the plague carriers finished up what was left."
" Plague carriers?"
" Giant demons that spread a dark miasma killing or mutating everything it touches. They're really just big and stupid, they're basically just giant demonic cows. Anyway there's a lot to explain, so we'll have to save it for another time."
As the truck came to an abrupt halt the slayers dropped out the back among the other Militants.
This was changed too, I wanted to make William less wussified.
