Stranded & Homesick
It is now the thirteenth of September 2064 A.D., according to planet earth the current time is 11:05 P.M. And this will be the first time that Optimus has been to his home planet in millennia. Needless to say it is a less than a happy visit. Each step he took through the evil Frieza's shantytown fortress was yet another stab in his spark, there was not a single inch of this place where he didn't recognized a dead robotic body used for mortar. He more than knew most of these robots, they were his allies, his brothers. Each face he recognized he was close to breaking down under the heavy sorrow crushing down on him.
Optimus Primes;
"Windblade…Ratchet…..Perceptor…Sideswipe….Rhinox…..Chromia….Ironhide…..Cheetor…."
Close by were Usagi and Sora, while they can't even tell what the big guy's feeling by looking at his featureless face they could still read his body language, the way he was faltering and staggering slightly as he walked he was all but wearing his emotions on his sleeve. And then there was the throne room, upon entering this place the big bot could ot believe his own two optics.
Optimus Prime;
"Never in all my mega cycles would I imagine seeing this sight."
There were about six dead robots, arranged in such a manner that they were on their knees holding their hands out. Side by side their forearms, hands and fingers came together to form a small stairway to an upper platform leading to the throne up ahead. What really caught Optimus' attention were the three close to the top of this stairway, they were hideous looking machines almost insect like in appearance.
Optimus Prime;
"The Tripredactus Council. Like all the others I knew these three. The most powerful and most feared bots in the criminal underworld, so powerful they were in status that not even the most dangerous war monger this planet has ever known could touch them. They were a force to be reckoned with…..yet now here they are, their long dead bodies now used as literal stepping stones in a stairway, and to punctuate this irony? These steps are walked upon by creatures the Council would find too insignificant to be counted as sentient life."
Usagi Tsukino;
"Wow, sucks to be these tools."
Sora Valentine;
"Hate to see what the most dangerous war monger this planet has ever known ended up as."
Optimus Prime;
"Ah yes, Megatron, a bot I knew all too well….surprisingly he got off easy. The one who took dominion over my dead world saw fit to make his parts the very throne of which to sit."
Pointing to the center of this throne room there was a single robot forearm and hand of silver and black, its claw like fingers frozen in a bit of a give me gesture as it is aimed upward and upright. All around the forearm is several other slightly smaller robot hands arranged to look like worshippers genuflecting before the big hand.
Optimus Prime;
"My friends and family, my worst enemies. My people, my race. Defiled in such a manner….I would be more furious if it was this Frieza who killed them all by his own hand."
Usagi Tsukino;
"You mean the bastard that made all this didn't even kill these people?"
Optimus Prime;
"That's the real tragedy of it….my people destroyed themselves eons ago. That pirate is but a meager squatter, one of several weak individuals who can only pretend to be the titans of this universe….if only my people were still alive…."
And then suddenly from behind there appears several of Frieza's men, strange how they only wait til now to try and get the jump on these three intruders. They had with them rather large weapons, giant pistols of alien design that are clearly not meant for such tiny carbons. Neither Sora or Usagi are all that worried though, not as the big bot turns to face these guards with his eyes glowing with fierce light.
Frieza Soldier A;
"By Volgar's Hammer! It's just like Prince Vegeta said!"
Frieza Soldier B;
"It can't be! Surely that's just some piloted mecha with an organic inside!"
Sora Valentine;
"No he's all robot."
Frieza Soldier C;
"Must be some AI controlled automaton that the Terrans constructed! All the Cybertronians are long dead!"
Then the big bot raises his hand forward towards these guards, as there appeared streaks of light running across his palm there emitted some magnetic force that all but ripped those weapons right out of their grasps. The weapons were now orbiting around his forearm, the red block of steel starting to come apart into segments and opening up, at which point each of the weapons floated into the newly formed slots in his arm. After that the arm reclosed into a solid forearm, having given these meager whelps that little show the big guy takes a hard step forward making a thundering clap of metal against metal to further startle them.
Optimus Prime;
"I am very much a living Cybertronian! I am THE Cybertronian! And I want you defilers off my home planet now!"
There was suddenly an alarm, a loud buzzing siren going off that echoed throughout the castle. The soldier's at the big bot's feet have already checked their scouters now transmitting news of ships coming down upon this planet's atmosphere.
Frieza Soldier B;
"Oh slag! It's the Jurai! We must inform Lord Frieza!"
They immediately take off leaving our heroes behind.
Usagi Tsukino;
"The Jurai caught up with us already?!"
Optimus Prime;
"Looks like we aren't going back to Earth anytime soon….."
Clear across the Sea of Rust, all the way back in the entrance of the long tunnel, the genotype and his few best soldiers can be found. The genotype in particular is now wearing a technological harness that holds some portable generator of alien design up against his back, no doubt meant to get him back in his peek fighting form quickly as he has no time to rest, certainly not if all of his men he asked to guard his trump card are now all dead.
Lord Frieza;
"Figures my men would be so incompetent they couldn't do the one simple job I tasked them with!"
Aisha Clan Clan;
"Hmph, well so long as it wasn't that brat that put them down."
Prince Vegeta;
"Man you just have it in for that kid huh?"
Aisha Clan Clan;
"Not really, I'm just disappointed in how he just chicken out of fighting Lord Frieza like that."
Frieza looks back at the cat girl with a silencing scowl.
Lord Frieza;
"If that is to reassure me that our little friend could not possibly destroy the only thing keeping the Jurai Empire from crashing down on us, well, you're not doing a good-"
As he's scolding his solder he looks back and sees a few individuals coming down the tunnel. As they get closer he's able to make out what looks like two Saiyans and a boy in a black cloak. As these three got closer the rest of Frieza's men took notice and got on their guards.
Lord Frieza;
"Well this is interesting."
The foot soldiers did not even wait for their master to issue the command, they went right at the three heroes without pause. But as they started exchanging fists it did not take long for the two Saiyans and soul reaper to immediately start cleaning house, these men turned out to be such weaklings that the three heroes did not bother with any lethal blows and pulled all their punches. Of course this meant that they would have to keep knocking these relentless goombas about as they kept throwing themselves at our heroes again and again. After about a minute or so of this nonsense Vegeta decides to go right in, unleashing his golden power and becoming Super Saiyan as he tried to blind side Goku only for a now Super Saiyan Trunks to intercept, his sword swiping in and catching the prince's incoming fist upon its shining surface. Tough as ever this sword did not even break from the hard impact.
Prince Vegeta;
"So, even you can turn Super Saiyan?"
Trunks Briefs;
"Something I got from my mother."
Putting all his might into both arms Trunks gives one big swing of his sword pushing the prince back. Ichigo in turn draws his own sword, Goku in kind releases his own Super Saiyan might. The three heroes now ready to do some real cooking, these enemies now surrounding them on all sides…..as expected Frieza is merely amused at this turn of events.
Lord Frieza;
"What an interesting day this is, first I fight that boy made of pure Ambrosia, now I stand in the presence of two Super Saiyans who wish to fight me. Been a while since I had this much fun."
Goku seems to share the genotype's enthusiasm.
Son Goku;
"Yeah, not gonna lie, with how long I've spent cooped up in that tiny spaceship I'm already having a ball here."
Prince Vegeta;
"Nice to see that you aren't shying away from your Saiyan blood."
Son Goku;
"I take it you've been looking forward to this for a while now?"
As Vegeta gives a most vile smile he gives a most red eyed glare at Goku, clearly unable to decide if he is unapologetically happy or absolutely livid.
Prince Vegeta;
"Now you will know what it means to kneel before the prince of all Saiyans."
Ichigo Kurosaki;
"Riveting, but with all do respect we won't be wasting time on you assholes for very long."
Lord Frieza;
"Oh believe me, now that you have our undivided attention, you won't be leaving this rock anytime soon….and neither will that boy you came for!"
And with that even Frieza decides to leap into combat, him and the prince going right for the two Saiyans as the rest of the henchmen try to gain up on Ichigo. It erupts into total chaos in this tunnel as both sides start going at it on the next gear…..the only one not admist this chaos is the cat who had long since slipped away…..
At the end of this tunnel there is a colossal chamber, it was here that Frieza's trump card was stashed, a great weapon of destruction beyond comprehension. But now the chamber is empty, there isn't even dust to be found in this giant blackened hole to nothingness. The two heroes that have disposed of the weapon have already started making their way back through the temple ruins from whence they came….but as they were making their way back Sammy had suddenly collapsed. Now she is all but asleep, lying on a slab of metal rock. Terry is practically worried out of his mind while the more calm Ali is inspecting the seemingly lifeless girl.
Terry Jones;
"I don't understand, why is she out of commission?"
Aliantrice Zephirot
"Your little power transfer did save her but she's pretty much sleeping beauty at this point. I can't fully tell what's wrong with her either, for all I can gather she's been reduced to a PC that has no operating system."
Terry Jones;
"…well…..what can we do to help her?"
Aliantrice Zephirot;
"I'll have to do a body fusion defragmentation."
Terry was surprised to even hear that, in fact as he started to blush a bit he felt a need to step outside the room.
Aliantrice Zephirot;
""Where are you off to?"
Terry Jones;
"I feel I need to give you some privacy."
Aliantrice Zephirot;
"What? Oh c'mon it's not like that, you don't have to…"
But he's already out the room.
Aliantrice Zephirot;
"God he's such a little boy-_-."
Yes he certainly is, even with how comfortable is around girls at this point it appears he can't help his prudish tendencies. And so he's now alone in the next chamber over, sitting quietly trying not to let himself get consumed with, shall we say, explicit thoughts. But then as he is sitting alone he then hears someone coming along in this temple ruin passageway. As there is so much damn metal giving off some slight form of radiation that is interfering with his heightened senses, it's only when this someone was getting closer that Terry was able to pick up on their energy signature. It turns out to be Satsuki, as she then turns a corner she then sees Terry on the other side of this chamber. She makes her way up to him and now stands before him.
Satsuki Kiryuin;
"You look like shit."
Terry takes noticed of the rather conflicted scowl on Satsuki's face, he also sees her knuckles starting to clench. Rather than try to talk his way out of what's coming he just stands up and walks up to her without hesitation.
Terry Jones;
"Yeah….but I'm still able to take a punch or two."
Satsuki Kiryuin;
"That's good…"
Satsuki went and gave the kid one solid punch right to the face sending him collapsing hard onto his back, the heavy kinetic force causing his body to put a nice sizable hole in a nearby metal wall. Given all he's been through it's a bit hard for him to get up after that hit. Momentary as it was the fury in Satsuki's eyes didn't pass quickly, she struggles to hold back what tears would be running on her face at this time.
Satsuki Kiryuin;
"You're lucky that Sora is not catatonic or some other bullshit, after what you did…he…"
There's a trickle of blood from Terry's lip.
Terry Jones;
"Other than that he's okay?"
Satsuki Kiryuin;
"…..yes…he's fine…"
Aisha Clan Clan;
"What the hell was that?"
Oh great, that darn cat caught up to them. The cocky little bitch now climbing down from a few metal blocks. She now stands before the two looking for a fight.
Aisha Clan Clan;
"First you puss out on your fight with Lord Frieza, then you let this random woman just punch you without any resistance? Surely there is still some shred of manhood left in that pathetic body of yours?!"
The look on her face is that of anger and disappointment, Terry meanwhile still could not care less.
Terry Jones;
"None that I feel to waste on you."
Aisha Clan Clan;
"…..when I first heard of you, truth be told I was more than excited. My heart raced as I was told of a living being comprised of pure Ambrosia, such possibilities for glorious combat. But here you are, the supposed ultimate lifeform I wanted to meet in battle and he's just a worthless whelp who needs the help of others to defeat his rivals. To say I am heartbroken is a gross understatement!"
Satsuki Kiryuin;
"You talk a lot of shit for someone who has yet to even fight the little brat."
It is then that Aisha's keen senses notices something off about this woman in white armor. Something about the very smell in the now thickened air, something was making the cat feel slight goosebumps all over.
Satsuki Kiryuin;
"Yes, as your no doubt heightened senses have picked up, I have the same powers as he does, in the end I'm little more than a copy of him. And yet I'm probably on equal ground as he is"
Upon hearing this the cat cannot help but let out a loud cackle.
Aisha Clan Clan;
"If you say you're a copy of that brat then you must be even more pathetic than he is!"
The cat then pounces on the White Queen, so consumed with pity towards the boy she is expecting an easy kill with this fake. But as Satsuki draws her sword in a flash she suddenly vanishes into thin air, and before the cat can even pick up on what's going on she's suddenly slashed across the torso. About five slashes that happen instantaneously, they do not seem to do any damage but it does strip the cat of her armor leaving her topless. From there Satsuki grabs hold of the cat's long ponytail and with a single hard pull gets the kitty airborne. Round and round the overgrown pussy puss goes until at last Satsuki loosens her grip, and as the ponytail slides through the cat is now flying right into a nearby wall with enough force to punch right through. Satsuki is already putting her Bakuzan back in its sheath, surveying the damage she just caused she finds the cat now buried in rubble to be a sad sight. It takes a moment for the cat to pick herself up from the derbis, while a little phased and banged up she doesn't look all that worse for wear, not that Satsuki is all that concerned.
Satsuki Kiryuin;
"Pathetic, I'm just a knock off of the little brat yet I'm able to drop you like a bad habit? You are no longer allowed to speak ill of Terry Jones you miserable waste."
But the cat just smirks, lick the blood that has leaked from her lip.
Aisha Clan Clan;
"You barely even put a scratch on me and yet you're just declaring victory like that? You're gonna have to try a little harder."
The cat's tenacity does not impress Satsuki, in fact it only seems to amuse her as she gives a condescending look and a smug smile.
Satsuki Kiryuin;
"Your overconfidence is adorable, I guess if I must I can play with you a little longer."
Aisha Clan Clan;
"This is no game you runt! YOU'RE FIGHTING FOR YOUR LIFE!"
And with that the cat goes rushing forward to try and bring this uppity little girl down. But before the cat could even get close, before Satsuki could even counteract, there suddenly appeared a giant burst of pure plasma punching from the ceiling right into the floor. It was such a massive burst that it even knocked back both Satsuki and the cat hard on their asses. A sudden out of nowhere occurrence indeed, one that was followed up by two more punching right through and causing just as much knock back. From the newly created holes in the ceiling there is the sound of more plasma bursts heading down on top of this place, upon hearing them coming Terry goes right for a somewhat dazed Satsuki and starts pulling her back up on her feet.
Terry Jones;
"Me thinks we need to get topside!"
Pulling on her armor he manages to get her back up, the two making a break for it into the nearby room where they run into Ali carrying a still weakened Sammy on her back. Not even stopping to ask questions the group just makes a break for it, Ali using her magnetism to rip apart the metal walls like tin.
Upon getting out of the underground tunnel all our heroes meet up, as they do they are still running from flaming balls of doom. As they are running from the rain they see a Jurian ship in the sky, they also see several other ships of Jurai origin coming in from orbit. And then suddenly the raining fire stops, as the gang takes what moments to breathe they can they take a better look at the Jurian ship overhead.
Terry Jones;
"Oh you gotta be kidding me."
Satsuki Kiryuin;
"Wait is that the same ship as-"
And then a beam of light shoots down from the ship, projecting two holographic images upon the sandy ground right before our heroes. One was that of the insufferable woman Seto Kamiki, the other was that of the young princess Ayeka. She is looking very melancholy, even more so than the last time Terry remembers.
Terry Jones;
"Let me guess, you came to help your precious Lord Tenchi?"
Princess Ayeka;
"….where is he? Where is Lord Tenchi?"
Neither Terry or Ali wish to answer, they are even wondfering if they should even inform the princess of what were Tenchi's true intentions.
Princess Ayeka;
"He's dead isn't he? You killed him? Why?"
Aliantrice Zephirot;
"…..we'd tell you but it would not be something you would be able to take."
Seto Kamiki Jurai;
"Such excuses! We offered you amnesty for your precious Terry, a position of royalty among us! But you went and tossed it all away! We only came here to wipe out Frieza's farse of a regime, we were gonna give you safe passage off this worthless rock!"
Aliantrice Zephirot;
"Spare us your prattle, your idea of 'generosity' is a sick joke."
It is surprising just how close to exploding into rage Seto was after hearing that retort, she bites her lip so hard she actually draws blood.
Seto Kamiki Jurai;
"Well if you would rather suffer our wrath then so be it! You will die on this planet alongside Frieza! No one declares war on the Jurai and lives!"
Terry Jones;
"War huh? And you too feel this way princess?"
Her look says otherwise, in fact she looks like she wants nothing to do with any of this. But then Seto puts a hand on the young girl's shoulder, with this gesture Seto makes it clear that Ayeka is only allowed to give a specific answer.
Princess Ayeka;
"Y-yes! Regardless….regardless of the circumstance, you killed my beloved Tenchi! That I cannot forgive!"
Terry Jones;
"Well to be accurate, Virus here was the one who killed him."
Aliantrice Zephirot;
"Hey!"
Neither of the Jurians are amused, with their exchange over the holograms then vanish. The ship directly overhead starts to charge up, about to recommence its continuous barrage of raining hellfire. Rather than wait around for the fireworks are group of heroes start running right towards the Sea of Rust off in the distance.
Satsuki Kiryuin;
"Speaking of this Frieza, what happened in the tunnel?"
Trunks Briefs;
"We barely even begun the fight before those fireballs came crashing down. My guess is he and his men have already retreated to his base to regroup."
Son Goku;
"Meaning we still have to deal with him on top of these damn Jurai. Stuck on this rock between two hard places."
Ichigo Kurosaki;
"We're not going home are we?"
There is a brief moment of silence between them, only when the sound of crashing hellfire echoes close behind them does the somber silence break. They pick up the pace, going as fast as they can they soon plunge right into the forever raging Sea of Rust, hoping to vanish from view.
Aliantrice Zephirot;
"Not quite yet, we first need to get these fools to get the hell out of our way!"
It is now about midnight back on the planet earth. Our attention falls upon the gloomy Hellsing Manor which once again is enveloped in a rainy storm. Outside things are quiet save for the very rain and the continued guards patrolling the grounds. Inside it is almost too quiet, even with the distant sound of rain hitting the roof outside it is disturbingly absent of sound. With how quiet it is you'd think that no one was inside, guess this night is just so somber there's not much noise to be made from any of the personnel inside. But there was no quieter room that Lady Integra's personal room, it was nearly silent as the grave in here in spite of her current conversing with her butler.
Sir Integra Hellsing;
"How is everyone doing?"
Walter C. Dornez;
"Our esteemed guests are doing fine for the most part though all of them have begun to be a little homesick, your sister's men have been especially homesick worrying themselves to near sickness over their lady."
As she sits their she is holding a plush doll. Some heavily stylized human little girl with no nose and big distinct bug eyes of a redish pink hue that matches the simple pink dress with a black stripe, another note worthy feature is the absence of fingers on both hands. Its other articles of clothing are black Mary Janes over white tights, a heart hairclip and most distinct of all a simple red bow that almost looks like bunny ears in its simplistic shape. The doll's hair is bright orange about waist length, her brow covered with straight bangs with a triangular gap in the middle. Underneath the doll's skirt is complete white, upon the posterior is the name "Satsuki" written in permanent marker, it is most likely that writing the owner's name anywhere else on the doll would look unimaginably gaudy all but compromising to the doll's adorable appearance.
Sir Integra Hellsing;
"Yes…..I guess those four and I now have something in common…God how many years has it been since she first ran away with Junketsu?"
Walter C. Dornez;
"If I remember it's been about five years now."
Sir Integra Hellsing;
"Five years….five long years I've had to spend without her here, in this damn lonely house…."
She places the doll on the table, setting it next to a book end so that it is sitting upright. No reason really, it just helps to ease her loneliness. She stares at the empty seat on the opposite side of this small chess table, all the pieces are set for a new game but sadly she has no one to play with at this time.
Sir Integra Hellsing;
"And what of Max?"
Walter C. Dornez;
"Well…..she's disappeared, not sure where she ran off to. For all we know she's nowhere on the compound."
The way he says this was peculiar, almost like he was indeed being sarcastic. Saying some message in a cryptic code, but Integra knew what he was saying. It's clear they are so overly cautious with any information regarding their most important guest that they cannot fully trust these very walls of their own house enough to speak freely of her.
Sir Integra Hellsing;
"Find her immediately, she must not leave the compound no matter the cost."
She is perhaps too calm and rather wooden in delivering this sarcastic line, she might need to work on her acting a little bit. Just saying.
Walter C Dornez;
"Will that be all Mam?"
Sir Integra Hellsing;
"Yes thank you Walter."
He gives a slight bow before then taking his leave, leaving her completely alone in this dark room with but a measly little light bulb lamp next to the bed. The room has suddenly got even quieter than it was already, almost deafening….and then there is a sudden clap of thunder from outside that gives Integra a slight jolt. Enough of a jolt that she grabs up the doll on the table and clutches it close hoping it will be enough to keep her mentality stable…..and then there was the feeling of death suddenly filling the room. An icy chill started to run down her spine as she got the unnerving feeling that someone was now right behind her.
Sir Integra Hellsing;
"What the hell are you even doing here?"
It was him, the crimson shadow known simply as Alucard, coming from the most darkened corner of the room like the phantom he is, walking up from behind her before he now stands in front of her. Much to Integra's surprise the form Alucard now takes is damn near unrecognizable now, he is not even in the body of a man anymore but that of a young female child. This young lady form is garbed in a white tuxedo suit with a white overcoat draped over the shoulders like a flowing cape, the hair is now much longer and straight, upon the head is a short white cylinder hat that has a fluffy texture similar to wool. Though this form is of a twelve year old girl with a much softer and near adorable face, the red eyes filled to the brim with dark fury leave no question that this is that fearsome vampire. And if those eyes are not enough, it is his signature booming voice that passes from this young girl's lips.
Alucard;
"I just came to check up on you, I truly am sorry for neglecting my caretaker duties."
He then takes a seat at the chess table opposite of Integra. In one hand he is holding a medical pack of blood with a bendy straw while his other hand is free. His unexpected visit stirs up many negative emotions in Integra, the kind and gentle look on his child like face starting to bring her blood to a boil, she is even a tad agitated by the way he's now fiddling with some of the chess pieces on the table.
Sir Integra Hellsing;
"Neglecting your duties? You've outright abandon us."
Alucard;
"I was forced to, they had particular methods of entrapment that I-"
Sir Integra Hellsing;
"Could not escape? Yet here you are no doubt of your own accord."
Alucard;
"….the situation is more complicated than you can imagine. At best I must serve them so that they will not harm you."
His words are now just pissing her off, moreso is his constant fiddling with the chess pieces on the table like he's wanting to start a game. She decides to take him up on that offer, making the first move.
Sir Integra Hellsing;
"So by serving our enemies you're supposedly protecting me from them? What a load of tripe."
Alucard;
"Not the best method but my options are limited, I have to keep this form in order to me able to move freely under their watch."
Sir Integra Hellsing;
"They know you're here don't they? They even sent you here to torment me didn't they?"
Their little game is going at a rather quick pace, each player makes their move on the board without any pause.
Alucard;
"I am here to save you from their wrath."
Eventually it seems as if Alucard has all but bested his master in this game. His pieces more than outnumber what remains, checkmate seems all but ensured.
Sir Integra Hellsing;
"Is that right?"
There is a look of concern in that young girl face, as Alucard then stands up and walks over to Integra he extends his free hand outward to her.
Alucard;
"I am here to offer you an escape from the coming storm. Come with me and I can better protect you from their cruelty which knows no bounds, even now they seek to unleash a pack of wound up rabid dogs upon this manor. And I fear you will not be able to survive this encounter, your men here will not be enough. You could very well die if you stay here."
Sir Integra Hellsing;
Alucard;
"Whatever you decide, know that I will be at your side."
His words do not seem to reach her at first, but after a moment or two of thought and trying to keep her emotions back there is a slight hint of sadness in her own eyes. Her own hand is shaking, hesitant but willing. After all these years it seems what bond the two shared is still there, the look in her eyes says plenty, she would like nothing better than to take the hand of the dark guardian who protected her since childhood…but as she is contemplating taking his hand, she instead takes hold of the white king piece and moves it forward. The piece is now wide open to attack from all sides.
Sir Integra Hellsing;
"Yes, I know you will be at my side…..but the faith I still have in you I also have in my men. I am not the supreme commander of WASP for nothing, and whatever attack befalls this house I will not run away."
Having given her answer there is no reason for Alucard to stay any longer. But before leaving he takes her hand and kisses the knuckles.
Alucard;
"Then I bid you godspeed, my master…."
And then the whole room goes completely black, all that can be seen are the vampire's melancholy eyes right before they close. After a moment of absolute darkness the room lights up again and Integra is alone yet again. She removes her glasses and with her face in her palm tears start to run down her cheeks.
It is now the next day, about 8:56 A.M. And there couldn't be any worse news for the Hellsing household to be given this morning. It is but a simple image of a jolly roger designed in a very stylized anime look, it serves as a backdrop for some very ominous words set on a repeating loop -
"Attention Hellsing Manor, as the head of the evil snake that is WASP you are to be cut off so that this vile beast will finally die. For years you human bigots have prosecuted us, hunted us, slaughtered us out of jealousy and unwarranted hatred. And now we hear of how you are even holding a human civilian captive just because she's the sister of that poor soul you all blame for the destruction of the Gold Saucer. Your toxic influence on this beautiful world will be purged, at daybreak tomorrow prior to this transmission we attack. Make your peace and pray for forgiveness from whatever false idol you humans worship, for the children of Jupiter will be upon you. Tomorrow we will rebuild the grand mountain of Olympus upon the ashes of Hellsing Manor! Tomorrow, the wicked and weak shall be punished, the pure hearted and strong shall inherit the world! Tomorrow, we the United State of Mortal Gods will bring about your reckoning!"
As this pirate transmission currently hogging up the airwaves on all public channels of the base, all the personnel are all a buzz. All the armored soldiers scrambling to ready themselves for combat, fortifying all the manor's defenses, bringing out the emergency supplies. Must be one hell of a declaration of war to be getting these guys so up in arms like this.
Walter C. Dornez;
"I still can't believe the USMG is indeed attacking this compound."
Nonon Jakuzure;
"Are you really that shocked? Your pet vampire jumped ship."
Walter C. Dornez;
"Even so they shouldn't even be thinking of attacking this compound….not unless they indeed have sprung their most prestige personnel from jail."
The blue haired techie has been hard at work gathering intel, it took him a bit but he just cracked through the peculiar firewall erected around the WASP network servers in China.
Hoka Inumuta;
"Yes, seems your little Forbidden City replica was hit last night. What remains of the data feeds detail some metahuman with ice powers matching those seen at the Disney World Resort Incident. This metahuman all but froze all personnel and even prisoners in solid ice save for one."
Jack Chaos;
"Monkey D. Luffy, the man made out of rubber."
And there was the cyborg soldier Jack, walking in without most of his cybernetic right arm attached. He has a rather fierce look in his eyes that does take a few of them back.
Nonon Jakuzure;
"You look ready to kill someone O_o."
Jack Chaos;
"Come tomorrow I will be, same as him."
Hoka Inumuta;
"You were the one who put him there I presume?"
He does not answer, at least not with words as his look at his own prosthetic gives the young folk present all the context they need. The air is tense with anticipation, as pure Alucard's warning a storm approaches Hellsing Manor.
Sir Integra Hellsing;
"Just as he said, it's our mysterious friends who are setting this pack of rabid dogs after us, I bet they only helped Luffy escape in return for Max. Once again the Worldwide Anti Superion Police must protect a particular civilian from those who seek to twist her into their fold. And why? So they can have leverage over the Beast that destroyed the Gold Saucer."
