TOTAL CRAP
Death
The city was in an apparent state of quietness, or so it seemed for Nadia, the T-34-57, she was wandering the lone streets which usually were full with tanks and the occasional plane.
"Where is everybody?" She asked herself, after a rather worrying conversation with Luna Hellsing back at the school and night approaching fast she needed to get home fast, she was going to take a shortcut when a black T30 blocked her way and trained its massive 155mm on her small hull, she cried out a scared yelp and quickly reversed but was blocked by something, something really big, Nadia looked back and saw the black hull of an E-75
"What do we have here?" Said the E-75 as he began to push Nadia
"Looks like a little lost rat" replied the T30, Nadia was completely frozen in fear at that point
"Should we kill this rat?" Asked the T30 and the E-75 nodded
"Slowly" the E-75 said, seconds later the T30 exploded in a ball of fire, Nadia yelped and the E-75 backed off.
"You should pick on those of your own size" a male voice emerged from the smoke.
"YOU'RE GONNA PAY FOR THAT!" Yelled the E-75 staring at the smoke, moments later a incredibly loud cannon boom was heard and the E-75 was no more.
"What...is happening?" Muttered Nadia between tears, her eyes were closed as she didn't wanted to see anything, she then felt a slight tap on her turret roof, she opened her eyes and looked up, getting to see the massive shape of a silver painted FV215b (183)
"Hey kid, you ok?" Nadia's savior asked, he seemed a bit weird, as if, not normal.
"Y...Yes...thanks" said Nadia nervously.
"What are you doing here on this part of town?" Asked the 183.
"I...I...Was..." Nadia was caught with the guard down.
"Doesn't matter, let's take you to your home" the 183 said with a smile.
"O..OK" Nadia began to follow the narrow street in front of them, with the 183 right beside her, she threw a glance up to his face to get more details, the first thing she could notice were the silver colored eyes matching the hull and turret, now, Nadia had read somewhere that silver eyes were associated with blindness, but this particular TD here seemed nowhere near blind, next thing that caught her attention was the emblem, Nadia had seen countless clan emblems before but this one seemed...different, Romanized LF with a shield on the background and a dragon around it, it seemed like it was a royal emblem.
"I didn't get your name" said the 183.
"I'm Nadia Mazdjy" she replied.
"Name's Longinus Majeste" said the 183 introducing himself.
"Longinus, sounds familiar" said Nadia.
"I'm pretty sure I've never heard about you" said Longinus
"Whatever"
Nagumo was in the living room staring at the fireplace, her husband Mobius had taken her daughter Rose out on a dad only trip and had left her entirely alone, at first it seemed like it would be nice but more sooner than later she realized she was missing them both, right there she noticed a slight fluctuation in the air behind her.
"SHOW YOURSELF! I KNOW YOU'RE THERE!" She demanded.
"I knew i was never one for illusion" a male voice said, and behind Nagumo an STB-1 appeared out of nowhere, he was exactly like her, same paintjob, same eye color, slightly taller, Nagumo looked into the amber eyes of her visitor, recognizing him as a relative of her.
"Akira?" Asked Nagumo, the STB-1, now known as Akira nodded.
"I came here to warn you" he said
"About what?" She asked.
"There's an ongoing revolution all across the country, sooner or later they're going to show up here, that if they hadn't already" he replied.
"Why are you telling me this?" She asked and Akira looked down, beginning to cry several tears.
"Because you're my last family alive" he replied, this struck Nagumo deeply.
"Akira, what happened?" Nagumo asked while slowly approaching her cousin.
"The shrine...was attacked... Kiru, Susan, Kora, Hyuga, Liz, Koga, Inoa, everyone but me... Died in the attack" he replied between tears, which soon transformed into heavy crying.
"I'm not your only family alive Akira" said Nagumo and then she hugged him gently.
"My husband should be here in any minute" she said, getting Akira's attention.
"Husband? Wa...wait... The Panther II..." He asked.
"WE'RE HOME!" Said Panther II voice came from the entrance of the house.
"I'll be right back" said Nagumo as she rolled towards the entrance.
"We?" Akira muttered to himself, he quickly wiped his tears and regained his composure.
"Honey, we were going to...Who the heck are you?" Mobius, the black Panther II appeared with Nagumo behind him.
"Let's just say you'll hate my presence" said Akira while he turned around, Mobius' eyes narrowed on him and trained his barrel on Akira.
"Sweetie, what are you doing?" Nagumo asked worriedly.
"Don't you remember what he did to your father?!" Shouted Mobius not taking his sights off the male STB-1 in front of him.
"I know, and i already forgave him" replied Nagumo.
"Please sweetie, Akira means a lot to me right now" she added, Mobius gave in and lowered his gun.
"Thanks Nagumo" said Akira, Nagumo nodded and then smiled
"Rose come here" said Nagumo, Akira raised an eyebrow, he noticed a beautiful gray bluish female StuG III rolling into the living room.
"Yes mom?" She asked Nagumo.
"Mom?" Akira muttered under his breath.
"I want you to meet my Cousin, Akira Kasaragi go say hello" Nagumo introduced Akira.
"Hey pretty" Akira let the StuG know he was friendly, moments later she approached him.
"Hi, I'm Rose Kasaragi" Rose bowed down and quickly reversed back to her mother's safety.
"Wow" Akira was left breathless, but then his radio began to sound.
"Sorry, i have to take this call" he said as he tuned in.
"Akira, Morgan here, the school is on fire" a male voice said, Akira turned around and looked at Nagumo.
"Is there a school around here, I'm being informed it's burning right now" Akira gave them the news, Nagumo and Mobius instantly shared looks with widened eyes.
"Oh dear" Nagumo instantly rushed outside.
"NAGUMO WAIT!" Mobius began to chase after her, heading down the streets, making their way through the river of scared people and burning houses, until they eventually reached the academy, or what was left of it, a burning facade.
Akira arrived with Rose moments later, noticing the survivors spread across the front yard.
"No, no, please don't let them end like this" Akira looked at a broken Nagumo, tears running down her face.
"I'm sure they got out before the fire got worse" Mobius was doing his best to comfort her, and Rose, she just couldn't keep looking.
"There!" Akira shouted and pointed in the direction of a group of tanks, with a Leopard 1 he would recognize anywhere. Nagumo instantly rushed to the spot where Hans was and saw something that terrorized her whole being, while Luna, Alisa and Raven had only minor scratches, Saralla however had been impaled by a large metal rod that fell on her, the whole fact that she was alive was a miracle, but right now she was bleeding out rather quickly.
"Take...it out!" She desperately cried, gasping for air.
"I...I can't!" Hans replied, he was shaking, feeling genuinely scared, his wife was in a life or death situation.
"Hans...please... It hurts a lot..." She cried, Hans felt the pressure of the world onto him now as he grabbed the pole with his barrel.
"Mom, don't die" Luna had been crying for a while now, Saralla looked at her and threw her a kiss, same with Raven, she didn't expect to see them again, she looked at Hans one last time and nodded.
"Wait" Hans noticed another barrel grabbing the pole, a white one to be exact, Hans looked back and saw a Conqueror by the name of Morgan.
"DO IT!" Saralla cried and both tanks began to pull, right on that moment an insane amount of pain shot through Saralla, making her scream in agony, Hans stopped and checked on Saralla but Morgan kept pulling until the pole came out entirely, Saralla didn't die to everyone's relief but was weakened, to the point she struggled to stay awake.
"Th...Thanks" Saralla then passed out, her large wound would require treatment and the hospital was very far.
"We have to take her to a hospital!" Hans shouted.
"Out of the question, Black Barrels may have taken it" Morgan replied harshly.
"Black Barrels?" Asked Hans, raising an eyebrow.
"The school fire was caused by a bomb, Black Barrels are a revolutionary group from outside the country" he replied.
"I'll tow Sara, we'll take her to my home" said Mobius while he attached his tow cables to the unconscious tank destroyer.
"Whoa she's heavy" he began to pull her from the site.
Hours passed and Saralla was still unconscious, her wound was already taken care of with Morgan's expertise in the medical field, and was resting for now, while the others gathered in the living room.
"So, you're a king now" Hans pointed out after noticing the golden collar the Conqueror was wearing.
"King Morgan I, to be exact" the Conqueror replied.
"I'm here to stop the Black Barrels revolution before they reach my kingdom" he added, but then for a moment made a saddened expression that only Hans caught.
"Your Kingdom lacks a queen" said Hans, Morgan's expression turned into a tear, then another, then a few more.
"They...took she...and my son...from me" he replied, finally tearing up.
"How?" Asked Nagumo.
"I failed to protect them...he was too strong" said Morgan.
"Who was too strong? Talk to us Morgan" asked Hans.
"Varcolaci Hellsing" Morgan said and looked up to Hans, who was shocked by the revelation.
"The werewolf" muttered Hans.
"Werewolf?" Asked Akira.
"I was afraid of that...thing during my childhood, now its coming" replied Hans.
"He can kill me" he added with noticeable fear in his voice.
"You won't die Hans" said Mobius, Nagumo saw Hans look down to the ground with an expression she hadn't seen in a long time, fear and doubt.
"We will go through this" Mobius said, trying to reassure him.
"I...I can't... I'm too weak" replied Hans, shocking everyone in the room.
"But you're incredibly powerful" said Akira.
"You defeated Nightmare" said Mobius.
"You are the Hell.."
"I KNOW WHO I AM MORGAN!" Hans barked, but then began to shake.
"I just can't...who we're facing is far stronger than me" he added, but then he looked at the group.
"But i know who can defeat Varcolaci, that person is far more powerful than me or him" he said with a bag of mixed feelings in his voice.
"Black Death?" Asked Mobius, Hans shook his turret to say no, there was a brief pause before Hans spoke.
"His name..."
"Is Raven...Raven Hellsing"
"ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR FUCKING MIND!?" Mobius snapped at him, rolling up right in front of him, Nagumo didn't even bother to hold her husband.
"I have been watching over the kid's development, and since i transferred the demon he's been..."
"YOU DID WHAT?!" Mobius had enough and outright slapped Hans with his barrel with a huge amount of force it even managed to make Hans reverse a bit, then a thought clicked on Mobius' mind.
"You knew about this, the Black Barrels, Varcolaci, from even months ago" he said frowning.
"The last remnant to hunt me down" said Hans.
"And the more powerful" said Raven from upstairs with a deep tone in his voice, everyone looked at him to see him fully transformed, black hull, eyes with reptilian red iris and yellow pupils, but his voice only had deepened a bit.
"Ra...Raven" Mobius stood there with his eyes widened, the others were equally surprised.
"Do not doubt me uncle" said Raven in a threatening tone, Nagumo began to shake as she felt the amounts of power the young tank possessed.
"Unlike you, i am in full control" he added, Mobius felt insulted at that point.
"What my father says is right" Raven said as he descended the ramp and coming to the living room.
"But even now, i too feel weak" then he returned to his original form.
"Dad, we need you know who" Raven suggested but Hans immediately left, going outside.
"What did i do?" Mumbled Raven.
"Raven..." Mobius seemed visibly upset, he rolled past the VK 30.02 M and went upstairs to check on Saralla, Nagumo followed him shortly after.
"I'll catch some sleep" said Akira as he moved into the backyard, only Morgan remained.
"Hans seems to be going through a lot of pressure right now" he said to Raven.
"By you know who you were referring to..."
"Yes" Raven replied with a nod.
"I know he caused a lot of suffering to my dad but there was an actual reason for it" he added, Morgan gaped, he felt confused.
"It was all a test, to prepare him, to prepare uncle Mobius, to prepare me" he revealed.
"Prepare you? For what?" Asked Morgan.
"Five years this world will change" Raven replied.
"How do you know that?" Asked Morgan, Raven didn't seem to be him speaking by now.
"He told me, and she showed me" he replied.
"She? Who's she?"
"The white goddess" Morgan's eyes widened, back when he was a small child his grandfather Konstantin taught him the tale of the white goddess, keeper of the nature and living beings.
"I'm going to catch some air" said Raven as he rolled outside, moving past Hans, who shot Raven a hard glare.
"You know the consequences of bringing him back, do you?" Asked Hans, Raven returned the glare, frowning, with visible anger on his face.
"The only consequence will be your death" he said before turning around and leaving.
"RAVEN!" Hans yelled but Raven ignored him.
"Stop running dad" was his cold reply before trundling down the street at a slow pace.
Nosferatu was headed for the center square of the city, one of his informants told him that during the night curfew the leader of the movement was going to be present, it was a one in a billion chance.
"Unidentified citizen, this are.." a T-62A painted jet black tried to warn him but was silenced by Nosferatu's smoothbore, the shot illuminated the area as it was night, he passed the dead corpse as alarms sounded, tanks that ranged from tiers 8 to 10 took aim and spotlights focused on him from far down the road.
"Adlersflugel!" Nosferatu called out loud, a JP E-100 appeared, with clearly visible surprise as he made out the details of the Leopard 2A5.
"I'm so disappointed, I thought you would be something more...worthy" said Nosferatu, angering the JP E-100.
"You come here to insult me? Don't you know who i am?!" Asked Adlersflugel.
"Of course, just another unworthy" replied Nosferatu, Adlersflugel fired his monstrous 170mm gun, only to see his shell shattering harmlessly against Nosferatu's frontal glacis.
"WHAT?!" He seemed surprised or more exactly disturbed.
"EVERYONE KILL HIM!" He commanded to his troops, and they obeyed, opening fire on Nosferatu for the entirety of a minute, creating a massive smoke screen.
"HOLD FIRE!" He ordered and everyone stopped, moments later an evil laugh emerged through the smoke, which soon blew to the right to reveal Nosferatu completely unharmed.
"You cannot kill me! I'm already dead!" He yelled while laughing, he darted at an incredible speed straight at Adlersflugel, faster than what the eye could catch, his barrel turned into a black sword, he stopped right next to him, his sword below the barrel just next to the throat.
"I won't kill you, but you and your troops must stay the fuck away from my family" he said with a very threatening tone, pushing the sword into the metal, cutting a bit.
"Did i make my point clear?" He asked, there was no reply, he then backed away dismissing the sword.
"WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?! KILL HIM!" An enraged Adlersflugel ordered to all of his troops, who all began to fire at the reversing Nosferatu, who was laughing.
"You can't kill me!" He yelled out before firing out smoke grenades, creating a window for his escape.
Hans had been wandering the city for about a city, with a single goal, stop all of this, then the air turned heavy as he approached a round square with a single tank on the other end of the road, another Leopard 1, but unlike Hans, this one was painted in dark gray with dark blue tribal stripes, extremely long fangs that could bit through a lot of armor and his eyes were yellow.
"I've been waiting for you!" Said the other Leopard with a very deep tone.
"Let's finish this!" Hans replied shifting into his Hellhound form.
"Last pure Hellsing, death comes for you" said Varcolaci as he disappeared, Hans's eyes widened and before he could even react a sword pierced the backside of his turret ring, vanishing the hellhound form and fatally wounding him.
"Such a pity you were this weak" said Varcolaci before pulling out his sword and leaving Hans to bleed out to death.
"Is this...it?" Muttered Hans as he coughed oil and other fluids.
"Forgive me Lu...na, Ra...ven, Sara...lla" with those final words Hans Hellsing died, the Hellhound died.
