Chapter Twenty-nine: Crap! Hellsing Manor under attack!

"Buffy! Giles! Dawn… Anyone!" Angel yelled out as he ran down the staircase leading from the Guest rooms on the fourth floor of the Common House. Spike was close behind, murmuring curses all the while under his breath. The two of them made it to the second floor, making a dash towards the Weapons Cabinet stationed near the main offices. Within seconds, the two of them armed themselves with swords and knifes, taking a few stakes for good measure. A few doors down, the Head Watcher's office door burst open.

Faith and Buffy were the firsts to leave the room, quickly followed by Giles, Xander, and then finally Dawn. "Angel? What's going on?" The blond haired slayer questioned with her eyes wide as she took in the sight of the two master vampires arming themselves to the eyeteeth.

"Willow's in trouble Buffy…" the dark haired vampire replied as he strapped a sword holster over his shoulder and then started load up on more stakes. Spike reached past his grand-sire into the cabinet and pulled out a couple of swords, and then promptly handed them over to the two head slayers; all without saying a word to anyone, except for his low mumbling of swear words that excepted his mouth, which of course, everyone ignored.

"What do you mean, in trouble? She was fine just a few hours ago!" Xander snapped with his face dark with anger. He took the crossbow the blond haired demon handed over. "…and hello! How would you know dead-boy?"

"I think the Hellsing Manor is under siege." Angel explained as he turned to look over at Giles, ignoring Xander all together. His expression was harsh, and his eyes flashed yellow for a moment. His demon was very close to the surface. "Willow did her witch-mind thing…" at the Head Watcher's gaze narrowed, questioning look, he went further. "We only had contact for a few seconds. I can't feel her anymore. She said she was under some kind of drug, or drugged… also that Alucard was locked away. Seras Victoria and Captain Pip are already on their way back to the Manor…that's all she could tell me before…"

"Alright…" Giles said with a nod, and then turned on his heel to retrieve his supplies from his office. They would need more than swords and stakes for this mission. He glanced over his shoulder, his eyes fixed on the others. "Dawn, get the girls ready. Equip them with the communication devices. You running the Comm. Station. Xander, you'll lead team one, and I'll take team two. Buffy, Faith, Angel and Spike, you are front and center. You go in quick, and you go in silently. Let's go people, we leavein five minutes."

"Oi darling…how are we doing this?" Captain Pip asked the strawberry blond at his side. "Slow, fast, hard…anyway is good for me…it's up to you."

"Very quietly." Seras replied, flicking the tip of his ear with her finger, knowing it would hurt him because of her vampiric strength. The guy never gave up! She sometimes wondered if the good captain enjoyed the pain she inflicted; he did get enough of it.

The two of them hid themselves behind the trees in the forest across from the Hellsing Manor, their eyes searching for anything out of the ordinary.

It was quiet…much too quiet, Seras decided. She could not detect any movement at all on the premises. Where were the guards? Too bad the junior slayers were out on patrol…wait! What's that? Her baby blue colored eyes turned blood red for a moment as she stared into the shadows near the front steps of the Manor.

There was something there…something she would have to take care of. She turned back to Captain Pip, face calm. "Alright…You go through the back Captain. Do not engage unless you have to. Get to Sir Integra, and keep her safe."

He gave a half grin, shrugging his shoulders. "You doubt me sweet?"

"Let's do the job we're paid for Captain." She replied, brushing past him and reaching for her guns. They were 9mm clocks; especially made courtesy of Walter. The rounds had silver tips, with holy water capsules inside. The rounds exploded on contact. They could rip apart most weres, fledgling vampires, and ghouls.

"I'll go through the front." She told Captain Pip as she stepped from behind the tree line. "Wait for the count of three, and then proceed Captain. That's an order!"

"She knows we're here." Schrödinger remarked to his companion. He sat on the steps of the Manor, leaning back on his arms against the stone behind him, wearing his Youth Insignia Uniform. He crossed his legs, with the top foot kicking up and down. "We should leave."

"No mere fledgling is going to run me off." Zorin Blitz spat as she moved out of the shadows. She twirled her scythe in her hands as she began to descend the front steps, her muscular form illustrated by the light of the moon.

"Our mission is over. Walter has the girl." The cat boy's voice was flat as his gaze fixed on the female figure walking calmly down the road towards them. Alucard's childe…this would not end well.

Zorin turned her head to glance over at Schrödinger, a sneer of contempt on her face. "It's over when I say it's over…"

The boy shook his head as he stood the expression on his face forlorn. "You are a fool Zorin…you would throw it all away…for pride." With that, he disappeared from sight. He needed to make his report and inform his master of Zorin's betrayal.

"Coward!" Zorin hissed to the empty space, before turning back to face the childe of the powerful Alucard. She would do this and find glory…a smirk of pleasure formed on her face. If she could not have the ancient vampire this night, she would at least end the un-life of Seras Victoria.

&

"…let's go." The man in the shadows said to his partner as he started to move away.

The Captain followed, but then paused to turn back. He stared at his lost comrade, shaking his head. Tubalcain Alhambra let out a dramatic sigh before remarking, "She is lost to us now. Even if she were to…even if she were to succeed…he will not take her back after this. We must go, they are waiting." The Captain gave a nod of consent, and soon the two of them slipped past the tree line and were gone out of sight.

"Sir Integra? Are you there Sir Integra?"

The leader of the Hellsing Order jerked up in her bed, her cool blue eyes zeroing on her bedroom door. She reached for her glasses on the side table, her motions quick and steady. Another knock came, more forceful this time.

"Sir Integra? You are needed madam."

"Captain Pip?" the blond questioned as she got up. She pulled on her robe from the end of the bed, and retrieved her gun from the nightstand. She rushed to the door, and stood to the side before she opened it a crack, her weapon at the ready. "Why are you not at your post? What's going on?"

Pip held up his hand for silence, glancing left and right to make sure no one was around, before speaking in a low tone. "We are under attack Sir Integra. Miss Willow is in trouble. Major Victoria is outside taking care of the immediate threat. The guards I've found are unconscious. We don't know of Alucard's condition…"

The woman frowned, her inner mind searching for her vampire. Her eyes went wide…the link was gone! What in god's name….her hand fisted in a show of anger. Damn them, damn them a thousand times over… How dare they do this! "Give me two minutes Captain…" she turned away, and then paused, her gaze narrowed on the far wall. "Where is Walter?"

Captain Pip's shoulders tensed. "I don't rightly know Sir Integra…most of the Household staff is uncounted for. Major Victoria has recalled the active squads out on patrol. They should be back soon."

"We don't have time to wait." Integra decided. Within moments, she was dressed. "Let's go Captain." She ordered, waving at Pip to lead the way. She could only pray they were in time to save her family.

"This is a good a place as any." Angel remarked as he and his group jumped out the vehicle they used to travel across town. It had been decided they would enter the Manor through the front, while Giles, and Xander led the junior slayers through the back. As they had no idea of what they were facing, they planned to hit the enemy hard and fast.

"What about Willow? Ya' think you can reach her now?" Buffy asked as the four of them began their trek through the forest leading to the front gates of the Hellsing Manor. The sudden eruption of gunfire startled them all, and they as a whole quickened their pace.

"No…" Angel had tried, but he could not feel the young witch. He growled low, before saying, "The link is dark…like she's unconscious." The fact concerned him greatly. Willow was a powerful witch, yes, but anything could happen to her if she was…his demon roared inside his head, hissing low in fury.

"Peaches…ya'tripping, or something?" Spike asked, looking over at his grandsire from the corner of his eye. He knew Angel thought of Willow as one of theirs…as family, even Angelus respected the young red head…and now that she might be in danger…Spike had a feeling Soul Boy would be taking a little nap…and pretty damn soon too.

"I'm fine…" Angel replied softly, the look on his face dangerous, "but our enemies won't be".

"Hey guys, we're on the clock, so let's go already!" Faith snapped at the two as she raced by, with Buffy right on her heel. The vampires sprung forward, running after them. The group soon encountered a small number of vampires hiding beyond the trees. It didn't take them long to dust them all, before the group of hunters were off once more.

"Not much of a challenge, were they?" Buffy mused softly, sword in one hand, and stake in the other as she slipped by a tree.

"They're nothing pet." Spike informed her as he finally caught up. "Just little bits to slow us down some."

"Stupid minions! Always with the wasting of time…" she scoffed with a shake of her head. "Oh my god…" she gasped, as they stumbled over a few bodies. The other three came up from behind her and bent down to check the situation out.

"They are Hellsing Soldiers." Angel declared, eyeing the insignia on the men's coats. Their blood had been drained and their bodies badly beaten. Their guns had been useless; he thought sadly, they should have used stakes instead. He stood, reaching back for his sword. In one smooth stroke, he took the first head of the three fallen men.

"A, what are you doing?" Faith questioned with a raised brow.

Spike stepped forward with his own sword and took a swing, taking a head, while Angel took care of the last one. "Different species of vampire." The dark haired demon explained. "If we don't take care of them now, they'll turn into ghouls."

"I never thought I would say this," Buffy remarked as they turned away, "but I prefer a dust vamp any day".

"Seras Victoria." Zorin called out in challenge as the strawberry-blond haired vampire made her way up the lane. "It's good that you are here."

"You have me at a disadvantage." Seras returned as she came to a stop ten feet away. She held her pistols loosely in her hands, her arms at her sides. She regarded the tall, muscular female vampire before her; her red gaze pausing for a moment on the weapon her opponent held, before moving to the tattoos on her flesh. Seras could sense the magic in the woman. "You know who I am, but I don't know a flaming thing about you!"

"My name is Lieutenant Zorin Blitz."

"Oi, you're a member of Millennium then?" Seras questioned, her flushed face showing the disgust she felt. Just a few years before, the young vampire would never have thought to square off against such a formable foe, but with her Master's training…, "Why have you come here?" she demanded to know, fully determined to protect her family.

A low chuckle escaped the dark haired vampire. "It's of no concern, spawn of Alucard." Zorin spat just as the tattoos on her arms began to shift.

Seras's fingers tightened on her weapons as the suffocating rise of power in the air. She only had a second to blink before Zorin sprung forward, running directly towards Seras, twirling her scythe over her head.

Seras's arms rose in front of her face, the tips of her guns crossed over each other to block the downward strike at her head. The force behind the blow sent Seras back; with her heels digging into the gravel under her feet. She pushed back, causing Zorin to lose her hold. The young vampire felt something tightening on her legs. She glanced down, her crimson eyes slightly widening at the shadow vines wrapped around her knees. It was a mistake on Seras part.

Zorin took full advantage of the younger vampire's shift in concentration.

She pulled her arm back, and swung with all of her strength at Seras's jaw, just as she released her Shadow's hold. She watched with a wide smile of satisfaction as the strawberry blond when flying. Another chuckle escaped her as Seras landed on her back, and her eyes glowed as the younger vampire slide along the road until she came to a stop thirty feet away. Zorin could smell the blood Seras was losing, and it pleased her to no end.

Seras groaned in pain, but the smell of her own bleed called forth something not even Zorin was prepared for; Seras's beast. She was the childe of the great Alucard, and no damn freak vampire was going to get the best of her! Seras rolled over unto her knees, wiping her lower face with the back of her hand. Her tongue came out to lap at the red liquid at the corner of her mouth. Her beast purred…it was divine!

A growl filled the night air, and Seras's eyes glowed bright red. She felt a surge of pleasure at the look of comprehension horror growing on Zorin's face. The younger vampire could smell the scent of fear, and it only fed her hunger for the kill. With a roar, Seras was air-born, her clawed hands stretched out towards her enemy. That freak bitch was going down!

Deep down in the bowls of Hellsing Manor, a solitary figure laid curled up in a fetal position on the cold stone floor. The ancient vampire's aura swirled around the interior of the chamber, the pitch black shadows full of red blood eyes. These eyes burned with fury; twisting and searching for an exit in the dime lighted room.

The beast whimpered…there was no way out…locked up once more…left behind to face the emptiness. He yowled out in pain. All he wanted was to be free once more, to find and protect…wait…a slow burning flame of light shimmered in the distance, just a spark in the dark… It was so far away…he growled with frustration. It did not matter! She was there…he jumped up and ran towards the light…it was his woman-child, his princess, and he would reach her, this he vowed! She was his…

Hope you like,

Magik.
