In the Disgrace style of writing, this chapter would actually be three
chapters in length, but as this is now Dishonor, I have taken a different
approach to the writing, namely the 1000 word or more chapter to give you,
my readers, enough to think upon as to where this fic is going.
Doesn't it seem obvious as to where I'm going with this? Don't be too certain that you actually know.
So on that note, how about an official prize of some sort to the reader that can actually figure out my plans for this fic and where it will end. For I have the ending complete. Now it's just time to see how I plan on getting us there. *smile*
As for what the prize actually consists of, perhaps some manga that I was planning on selling. And yes, I will reward the first person with a correct and detailed answer as to how this is going to play out. You have until chapter 29 to answer via review if you want to participate. Right now, I'm thinking of selling Real Bout High School, INVU, Happy Mania, and X, so those are your choices, as well as offering Hellsing #1 when it finally comes out on December 3.
Just one more thing, there won't be any updates for a week (rough guess) as I'll be in New Jersey for part of that time, and then spending the next couple days after I return home catching up on things totally unrelated to fanfiction.

To the leader of the Hellsing Organization, Sir Harker van Hellsing,
Formalities aside, I have read your message and am quite displeased with your want to break our treaty and help the NAPHC in their meaningless mission, and I will not allow your vampire filth to travel to another section of the world to spread her vile plague through the Americas. The United States and her western sisters have more than enough problems already; adding a succubus to that already godless mix would prove quite harmful.
Though you and I will have a conversation in Geneva on January 21 of next year to discuss the future of Hellsing and Iscariot, I must repeat my request that you never initiate correspondence with my organization or me during the Holy Seasons. While your religion may not think that the birth of our savior is worthy of praise, ours would not have been founded if not for Christ humbling himself to be born as a man, and if our religion would not have been founded, I fear that you Harker, would still be a druid.
I am also quite angered that you felt the need to bring in a nearly two decade old scandal that shattered the peace between both of our churches and the media as a reason as to why my Vatican fathers could not go to that country. Any fool knows that blackmail is not the way to make people cooperate willingly.
You have created quite a controversy my good man.

Forwarded Message Attached- Re: Vatican Approval for Mission
Argetni,
As you can plainly see from the attached message, Iscariot does not want you to leave our territories. You will also most assuredly have a hearty chuckle from the fact that I have upset the Vatican yet again, so go ahead Argetni. Make light of my shortcomings, because I'm SO certain that you could have done better in this situation. . . .
Now, I know you are quite headstrong and quite capable of handling this mission in complete secrecy, but I do not wish to upset the Vatican any further than I already have done. We both know how dangerous an enemy the Catholics can be, and I do not wish to fight that sort of battle.
I also do realize that being a succubus, you are a godless being, and therefore would never mind an order given to you by an organization that has pledged its entire 2000 year existence to serving a single god. So as your master's father, I beg you to do what is right and stay in the service of your master. You know what that entails.
Make certain that Alucard returns to the London manor house, for I would rather you two be apart for the present. I think it will serve you both quite well to not be near each other for some time, as you do have eternity together, and eternity is quite a long existence. You can go to the Dutch West Indies via England's airports, and then you will never have to leave non-Hellsing controlled territory.
Please remember to stay quiet in the face of your adversaries. It does make one more becoming.
Remember your mission and your master always,
Harker

Re: FWD: Re: Vatican Approval for Mission
Harker,
I have relayed the message to Alucard about heading to London for some time away from the missions and me, and he has already journeyed to the island where we should all reside permanently. He is grateful for the allotted holiday, and will show his gratitude when you least expect it dear Harker. I do hope that you will enjoy Alucard's treats.
We both knew that before you asked the Vatican about the possibility of me heading to America that they would refuse, but I do enjoy seeing that you still follow my orders. I will go to the Dutch West Indies, and then the Vatican will lose track of my journey, and I will then accompany Devries back home to London where we can all work to convince her of the importance of her duty to the family.
Did either of our fathers ever really have to push us to follow the path chosen by our ancestors when we were young? I remember how much I looked forward to lessons with my father, and I know that you enjoyed the classes he gave you as well. I even remember that Uncle Richard had to take you away as you screamed injustice when my father announced I was the rightful heiress to the family name and the Organization.
Why is it that both of the children of this generation are completely opposed to following our sacred duty from God? I could understand Anika's lack of ambition with vampire hunting, as her Hellsing blood is quite diluted compared to Devries, but for the child of two Hellsing family members and the relative to the original Harker family that dearest Abram trusted above all should have some natural want to lead the Organization.
Hell, my bastardized part Indian self that totally forsake her Dutch heritage and you with your knighting by the Dutch monarchy are more Hellsing than the children. Even as a vampire, I am more fit to run the Organization than either child.
You do not need to hear these rants about our daughter and her younger sister at this time. It is my pride as a member of the Hellsing family and a member of the true undead that has always caused me problems in both of my lives.
The only thing that we must remember is that Devries will be returned and she will begin to appreciate all that the family has given her. She will bear the responsibility of a Hellsing, and she will enjoy every bloody minute of her existence when she returns.
I am waiting for my travel plans to be confirmed, but I will be leaving within the night with any luck. Give me ten days and Devries will be sitting at her desk yet again.
And just as a little note, I must applaud your newfound skills with handling the Vatican. Only a true idiot or someone that is quite confident with their life and faith can send a bold-faced lie directly to a man like Father Maxwell and make him believe the words written in its body. Your message to the Catholics brought a smile to my lips, as that degenerate boar does not deserve the power that his sickly Pope has allowed.
Please have everything ready for Devries arrival in London. I promise she will be home within ten days.
