Chapter 10

Hellsing

Mandera, Kenya

Seras awoke to see that Danny was already prepared to go, with a belt of various hammers, picks, a small shovel, and rope on his waist. Seras stretched out and grabbed her gun before she said, "Alright, let's get on with it." Danny grabbed her and turned them both invisible before he phased through the ceiling of the hotel and flew straight for the site. They saw two large vans outside of it. "This doesn't look good," Seras said. "I'll just stay invisible and slip past them," Danny said. They were about to go down the tunnel when Danny was blasted by a laser from one of the vans. "They know we're here," Seras said as Danny let her go and she floated to the ground. They then saw the woman holding a large ecto-bazooka; she had black hair and looked unnaturally pale, wearing all dark clothes and sunglasses. Seven more men and women stepped out of the vans, all armed like the woman. Seras used her Third Eye to look at them, and then telepathically told Danny, they're all vampires. The next thing she saw Danny do terrified her as he got a large smile on his face. "Good," he said then a white ghost ray erupted from his eyes, blowing up the two vans and slicing two of the vampires in half.

The remaining six vampire assassins scattered in blurs. They're fast, Seras noted as she ran herself, then caught one of the assassins, a bald man with a black goatee. Before he could hit her Seras sent her left hand through the assassin's heart, but I'm faster. Seras then barely dodged six ecto-rays and drew her Leto handgun and returned fire, taking out another assassin. Her two victories left her feeling cocky, and that was her mistake as three shots suddenly tore through her back. Seras fell to the ground; thank God they missed my heart! Seras let her shadow arm move around the ground and waited. As soon as she sensed her attacker was over her shadow, spikes sprang up from it looking to impale the assassin. But the other vampire was too fast and jumped up high in the air. Seras forced her body to heal and immediately jumped up after them.

This one was a tall African woman with hair that flowed down her back who yelled at her, "You will never have the Staff! Our Masters are already in the Tunnels ready to claim it!" "Then I can't waste time with you!" Seras yelled back as she aimed with her Leto handgun. Seras fired four shots at the enemy vampire, who dodged all of them in midair like an acrobat. Seras flew forward, turning into a red streak of light, while the other vampire did the same, turning into a purple light. The two Draculinas collided in midair with a thunderous explosion then started to fall to the ground, their bodies broken like ragdolls from the force of impact. Seras! Wake up or we're pulp! Pip yelled in Seras's head. She forced her spine and legs to heal so she could do a quick midair spin and land on her feet.

Her opponent wasn't so lucky and hit the ground hard. Seras ran over to see the vampire had burst open, exposing their heart and other internal organs. Seras stomped on the still beating thing, putting the other vampire out of her misery then turned to see Danny. One assassin was nowhere to be seen, most likely dead, while another was frozen solid in ice; Seras recognized it as the redhead that had shot Danny in the air. Danny looked like a black blur as he flew around chasing after another blur. Seras focused with her Third Eye and took aim, then fired the last bullet in her magazine, killing the last assassin instantly. Danny stopped and looked at her, "I had him!" Seras only looked at him, "Then why didn't you blast him?" Danny didn't answer and Seras asked, "Where's the other one?" "He went straight for me, so I kicked him in half," Danny answered. Seras suddenly felt very weak, damn it, I've never had to heal from so much damage in a long time, I feel weak. I need to feed…

"Unfreeze that last one," Seras told Danny. "Why?" he asked her. "Danny, that fight took a lot out of me, I need to feed, and drinking that last one's blood might give us some much needed information," Seras told him. "Fine," Danny said and put his arm on the frozen vampire, thawing her from the waist up. Seras ran right at her and clamped down on her neck, sucking the other vampire dry. Immediately memories flooded into her head. The redhead had been called Jacqueline; she had been an only child. She had been an honor roll student, had hoped to become an engineer. Seras saw it all as Jacqueline was saved from being gang-raped in an alleyway, only for the tall brunette man with a thick moustache that killed her attackers with his bare hands to turn her into a vampire. She saw all the depravities Jacqueline was forced to commit with her Master, and the Master's companions, three of them.

Eventually Jacqueline had come to enjoy them all, the beatings and rapes she dealt and received, the murders to sustain herself; all of it. The memories stopped when Seras saw Jacqueline was ordered to guard the sight while the Masters went into the Tunnels. When the memories ceased Seras turned to Danny, "I know who we're up against." "Who are they?" Danny asked. "They're all the progeny of four vampires that managed to escape from Abraham van Helsing, all of them were the oldest members of the Ordo Draco. Nicolai and Wilhelmina Eberhardt, Josephus Fleischer, and the most powerful member, a vampire over seven hundred years old, their leader Adalinda," Seras told him. She then telepathically showed him the images she had of them all. Josephus had been the one that turned Jacqueline, Nicolai and Wilhelmina were twin brother and sister, both had auburn hair; Nicolai had muttonchops and was short while Wilhelmina kept her hair short like a man's. Adalinda was a slender yet tall, almost six ft tall with long blonde hair that reached the ground and one green eye and one red eye. "Then we don't have time to waste," Danny said, and he and Seras jumped into the Tunnel and set off running for Seras and flying for Danny.

Outside the Red Dragon Club, Wales

Valerie checked herself one more time to make sure that she was ready to go in. She was wearing a little red dress that hugged her curves and showed off a lot of leg and cleavage and had her hair short, wearing red eye shadow and lipstick to go with the dress. She also wore ruby earrings and four gold bracelets, two on each arm and red two inch pumps. Sir Integra was next to her in the limo, in a long sleeveless green dress that showed a little cleavage and had slits on the sides for her legs. Integra was wearing platinum earrings and bracelets, along with a necklace. She had done her hair to hide her missing left eye and wore a contact lens on the remaining one ; Valerie had to admit that for a woman in her late 30's, Integra was still pretty hot. The female knight finished applying her lipstick and said, "Are you ready to go?" "Yep," Valerie said and they got out of the limo and walked right up to the bouncer. He was a tall Indian dude, he looked thin but with broad shoulders and he carried himself like a professional.

The bouncer took one look at them and let them through with no trouble. "We're in," Sir Integra whispered. Valerie heard from her earrings, "Alright, good luck you two," Jazz said. Their earrings were actually two way radio transmitters, while their bracelets were something Tucker and Jazz had cooked up, smaller versions of the Fenton Ghost Peeler that would turn into gauntlets on their hands and forearms that blasted ecto-rays from their hands, just in case things went wrong. They had code words in case they needed a distraction, and several soldiers in disguise around the building to provide the distraction.

The music was pumping loud and the lights were flicking on and off like crazy as the two women danced their way through the club. "Let's separate, try to find an 'employees only' doorway. If there really are vampires here, that's where they'll head to," Sir Integra told Valerie. "Got it," Valerie said and made her way around the club, getting in and out of dances with every person in her way. She eventually saw a door that said, 'Keep Out', in bright red letters behind a tall, big white guy wearing sunglasses and a white suit. This guy looks like he just came out of prison or something. He'll be tough, even if he isn't a vampire. Valerie grabbed an unattended drink and gargled it, and even swished it around in her mouth before swallowing, then walked around a little more crazily, like she was drop dead drunk. She walked and tripped up to the big guy and then fell right on him, putting her weight into it, knocking him down and his sunglasses off. He quickly put his glasses back on and Valerie saw the brief glow of his red eyes. Gotcha, out loud Valerie said, "OOOOhhhhhh MMMMYYYYY Gawd! IIIII'mmmm sooo sorrrrrryyyyyy!" Her voice was so high you could almost break glass with it.

"Shhaaayyy, you look like you could use a good tiiiiiime, you wanna know anyplace we can go?" Valerie asked him acting as much like a wasted slut that she could imagine. The big guy smirked, "Sure thing, babe, come right inside," and opened the 'Keep Out' door. He pulled her into a dark corner and then showed his fangs, "Not today sucker!" Valerie yelled as she activated her left bracelet and blasted him in the heart. The vampire only had time to look at her with eyes as wide as saucers before he evaporated into ash. "Integra, I think I found somewhere we can go, it's a door with-" "Red letters saying 'Keep Out?'" Valerie turned around and saw Sir Integra entering the room. "How did you get here so fast?" Valerie asked in surprise. "I may have only one eye, but I'm not blind," Integra answered. She then activated her own bracelets, "Let's go, we have no idea what lies ahead of us, so be careful." And the two of them quietly made their way through a hallway.
