Mortal Kombat Anime
Chapter 4: Captain Pip Bernadotte
"I must admit Itachi.", said Alucard, "I like you. Your hands are plenty filthy, with several years of bloodshed. However, you did it all for the sake of your village and your little brother. Quite honorable."
"Thank you, Alucard.", said Itachi with a small smile
Itachi, Alucard, Integra, Seras, and Pip were camping for the night. The sun was setting, so Integra announced that they would stop for the night and continue in the morning. Seras and Pip got stuff for a shelter, Integra started the fire and was cooking, while Alucard and Itachi hunted. A while later, everyone was turning in and someone needed to stay on watch.
"I'll keep first watch.", volunteered Pip, "After a few hours, ma'chere can take my place."
Seras, who Pip called 'ma'chere', blushed but nodded. Soon, everyone except Pip was asleep.
A few hours later, Pip fell asleep as well. As he did so, a figure snuck up towards him. Slowly, it unsheathed a sword. As the figure raised the sword for a killing blow, Pip rolled out of the way and opened his eyes.
"Dammit!", cursed the figure
It was a woman dressed in a black robe with black hair covering her eyes and a cross around her neck. Pip knew who this was, even though he never met her.
"Yumie Takagi. You're one of Anderson's pets, oui?", he asked mockingly
"Silence! Father Anderson is missing and I'm certain you Hellsing fools are behind it!", spat out Yumie
"A bold assumption.", teased Pip, "But you have no proof."
Fight 1: Pip Bernadotte vs. Yumie Takagi
Result: Pip Wins
"You are beautiful but deadly.", complimented Pip
Yumie struggled to get up. She grunted and leapt into the trees, back the way she came.
"Is everything okay?", called Seras' voice
She came running from behind. Pip felt relieved for a second until he noticed something. Seras usually brought her anti-tank rifle with her, but she ran over unarmed. A small detail, but due to combat experience, he decided to test his instincts.
"Yes, of course ma'chere.", he said, "I think I'll head to sleep. You can take over."
"Alright Pip.", replied Seras, "Let's head back to the camp."
Suddenly, Pip kicked Seras and threw her against a tree. She got up and began to bleed from the mouth.
"You are not the real Seras.", he growled, "Ma'chere always calls me Mister Bernadotte. Also, she blushes when I call her that."
'Seras' just smiled and disappeared in a puff of smoke. In her place was an unsettling looking man. He had long black hair, yellow eyes, solid white skin, and was wearing a tan outfit with purple things on his back.
"For a non-shinobi, you sure are perceptive.", the man said in a creepy voice, "What's your name?"
"Captain Pip Bernadotte.", he spat out, "Who the hell are you?"
"I am Orochimaru. The greatest shinobi in history.", Orochimaru declared, "I'm also the one who is about to end your life."
Fight 2: Pip Bernadotte vs. Orochimaru
Result: Pip Wins
"Still alive, snake freak.", says Pip
"Impressive.", Orochimaru grunts out, "Not often am I bested in hand to hand combat. Until next time, Pip Bernadotte."
He then sunk into the ground and disappeared.
"Mister Bernadotte!", cried a voice
Pip sighed in relief. He turned and saw the real Seras charging in his direction. She slid and went one knee, aiming her anti-tank rifle around.
"Easy, ma'chere. The threat is gone.", joked Pip
Seras blushed and smacked Pip's arm, "Stop calling me that!"
Pip laughed. He knew for sure that this was Seras Victoria. Solving that problem, he realized that his company needed to move. Who knew who else would attack?
"Come on Seras. We need to leave now!", he ordered, "There could be other enemies waiting to attack."
"That's why I came to find you.", Seras replies, "We're under attack!"
"Mon Dieu!", exclaimed Pip before he and Seras stormed back to camp
Integra was fighting Yumie in a swordfight. Alucard was doing hand to hand to combat with Yumie's partner, Heinkel. She had short blonde hair and was wearing a black trench coat over her robes, as well as black sunglasses. Itachi was in combat with Hellsing's former butler, Walter C. Dornez. Walter was wearing a white shirt, black pants and shoes, as well as a monocle. He was using his razor steel wire to combat Itachi's kunai and shuriken.
"Go help Alucard! I want the butler!", Pip commanded to Seras
Seras charged towards Heinkel while Pip ran towards Walter from behind. Walter turned and tried to cut him up, but Pip jumped above him, landing on the other side.
"I'll go help Integra!", said Itachi before heading off
"You are making a mistake.", taunted Walter, "Your weapons are no match for me."
"My bullets have been known to cut through titanium.", retorted Pip, "Besides, never underestimate your enemy."
Fight 3: Pip Bernadotte vs. Walter C. Dornez
Result: Pip Wins
"Au Revoir, traitor.", said Pip
He pulls out a gun to finish Walter off. However, before he gets in position, Heinkel shoves him. She punches him and then kicks him.
"Stupid Frenchman.", she spits out
"What are you doing?", Pip asks, "You Iscariots never attack unprovoked! Why do you assume we have your master, Alexander Anderson?"
"Ha!", Heinkel laughs, "Don't play stupid! Yumie and I know he's here. Walter chose to join us. We know Anderson is here and we'll find him! Afterwards, you Frenchman, you will die."
Fight 4: Pip Bernadotte vs. Heinkel Wolfe
Result: Pip Wins
"God, I hate Germans.", groaned Pip
Heinkel slowly got up. She, Yumie, and Walter were surrounded. Quickly, Heinkel dropped a smoke bomb and used it to help them escape.
"Dammit!", exclaimed Pip
"Patience, Bernadotte.", said Integra, "Once we discover the reason why we're here, we'll deal with them."
"I'm curious what happened to Anderson.", inquired Alucard
"We'll worry about him later.", said Itachi, "Right now, we need to move."
The five quickly gathered their belongings and began heading deeper into the woods. From afar, two figures were watching them. It was the tall Sonic and what looked to be a tall, steroid version of Knuckles.
"Interesting. Charles Vi Britannia will want to hear about this.", said the tall Sonic
The two quickly began jumping through the trees. They were the opposite way of Alucard's group, towards a secluded base in the forest. A base where villains were gathering, under the lead of Lelouch's father, King Charles Vi Britannia.
