"With child?" Walter asked, amazed. Queen Elisabeta nodded.

"Yes, she is…and that will complicate things fully. She is not fully a lamia, so her body still has to die, taking the child with it…I am afraid that she might miscarry the child…"

"Oh my, that is something to worry about…"

"And she does not even know yet. That is dangerous…"

"Has any child ever made it out during this type of thing?" Walter asked, concerned. The queen shook her head, and a single tear cascaded down her cheek.

"Well, then, it will be easier to kill you lot ,won't it?" A voice boomed from behind them, and there stood a woman with braided long ebony hair. A set of glasses were set delicately across the bridge of her nose. She smiled a toothy grin, her eyes reflecting that of a wolf's.

"Rip Van Winkle…What are you talking about?" Elisabeta asked, horrified at the treason that Rip would even dare commit.

"Vell…let us see…the king is absent…I vas paid in full to terminate you all…"

"You will not touch either!" Walter growled, pulling out his gloves quickly, and attempted to wrap invisible lines around the traitor. However, she was too fast for any mortal, no matter how trained he was. The werewolf lunged for him, and pointed her gun at him. Pulling the trigger, she smiled evilly as it hit the old man in the arm.

"My varhead vill punish all…" She growled, and Walter fell to the ground. Elisabeta ran to the fallen man, and Rip smiled again. Seeing the old man dying was definitely something to smile about, in her opinion.

"I vonder…Oh, how lucky I am…"

"What the hell are you talking about?!" Elisabeta screamed, her rage overtaking her reason. With her eyes glowing a dangerous shade of crimson, Elisabeta glared at the traitor with nothing in her eyes but malice

"Come, Queen of the damned. Let us spar together!"

"You will die, you bitch!"

In the back of her mind, Rip knew she would, but she only had to stall the Queen. That was her mission until her lead commander got there, and took care of all of the pieces of trash.

Vlad Dracul walked over to the man named Alexander Anderson, and smiled an insane grin.

"Why d' you smile, ya heathen?" Anderson asked, an annoyed look crossing his features, but also a curious one. "Yer son is ded."

"Not so, you pompous bastard…" Vlad laughed, and Anderson was really perplexed now. What? He had cut Alucard's head off himself.

"My son is not the lowly vampyrs you are used to dealing with, Judas Priest…Oh no, quite the opposite!"

"What?" Anderson queried aloud, and Vlad smiled, drawing his sword while the man stood stunned.

"Good-bye, Judas Priest…" Vlad snickered, swinging his sword and bringing it across Anderson's neck, smiling in bloodlust the entire time.

"Aw, father, you ruined my fun!" Alucard pouted, reappearing from nothingness. His father gave him a smirk.

"I cannot help that I want to kill just as bad as you do. You hogged all of the easy targets, you pig."

"That is quite harsh, father."

"It is now time to fight the real vampyrs, or so it would seem."

Alucard smiled a cruel smile as the troops came upon him and his father. Both of them smiled, and motioned with their hands to the troops behind the. They had sent Integra and her troops to fight the mortals that remained, and to let them deal with the real monsters that would be dealt with by their own.

"Finally…" Vlad whispered as the vampyr troops came closer and closer. A smile crossed his lips, and the first of the real vampyrs attacked. All that was seen was wave after wave of crimson.

Crimson stained the marble floor as the bloody battle continued between Rip and the Queen of Obscurity. Elisabeta's eyes were stained crimson as her inner beast inside of her was unleashing itself more and more.

Come on, Mien Furuer! I cannot hold on much longer!

"You who tries to harm any member of the royal family…You should have known that death awaited you, you foolish wolf!" Elisabeta growled, driving back Rip from Walter, who was dressing his wound quickly, and after he was finished went to Seras's side. She was still unconscious, and oblivious to her surroundings.

"Come, whore qveen…come…"

Elisabeta growled at t he insult, and her rage took over her, ripping off Rip's head, and throwing it across the throne room.

"tsk, tsk, Your Majesty…That von't do…"

Turning quickly, but not quickly enough, Elisabeta's eyes widened as she saw the one man she thought Vlad had killed. A sudden realization took over her as she felt a pang in her abdomen. Looking down, she found a sword through it.

"It's you…" She managed to whisper. A smile crossed his lips as he moved from Elisabeta's side to Seras's. Walter could do nothing as the man moved him without even touching him.

"So, this is the little whore zat caused zis entire thing. Honestly, I saw this as ze perfect opportunity to de-throne all of you royal cows from here. I suppose I vill start with ze little whore…or maybe I should cut ze child from her vomb.

"DON'T YOU TOUCH HER!" Elisabeta screamed, blood spurting from her mouth.

"I vill not…Do not vorry, you vill be next…"

Seras's eyes shot open, and her eyes turned a dangerous shade of deep crimson. Clawing the man in the face, she hissed as he dropped her instantly. He howled in pain, and slapped her. Seras showed no signs of being afraid of the man. Instantly turning her head to Elisabeta, she got up and stumbled over to her.

"You're Highness…You are wounded!"

"Seras…I am not going to make it…This wound will kill me slowly, and I would rather not Die by that man's hand…You must drink my blood!"

"No!" Seras screamed at once.

"Seras…you and your child will not make it otherwise…The only way…to save your child from the transformation…is through my blood…not Alucard's, but the blood of a mother…"

"Vhat a touching reuion!" The Major bellowed, and wasted no more time in lunging at the both of them. Seras dodged, taking the queen with her. However, she was not fast enough to avoid his hands on her throat.

"Damned wench!" He growled, but groaed in pain when he found a sword petruding through his own stomach. Turning, he pulled it out, and stabbed Elisabeta in the chest, going straight to her heart. A scream was let out by Seras as the queen fell to her knees.

"QUEEN ELISABETA!!" Seras screamed, and the Major threw her onto the floor, beside her. Thinking quickly, Seras drank the blood lying beside her. A quick bash to the head stopped her, nd she fell unconscious.

"Alu…card…"

A jolt of electricity went through all three of them. Vlad's eyes widened.

"Elisabeta!" He gasped, before leaving the battlefield in an instant. Alucard and Pip shared a glance.

"One of us must stay…to fight…"

"Go, Alucard!"

Alucard nodded before disappearing. Arriving in the throne room, he almost dropped to his knees. His father was standing over his mother, and Seras was nowhere to be found. Eyes widening, Alucard began searching the throne room, and then the corridors, and then the entire castle.

"SERAS!" he called and called, but no response. Returning back to the throne room, he stopped at his father, and looked down at his mother. Vlad was silent, as was Alucard. His mother was dead, and they knew that she died trying to keep Seras safe.

A/N: I DIDN'T WANNA KILL OF ELISABETA!!! cries but I had to. It would give the dracul's all the more reason to kill and go even more insane.

Later, everyone :D
