'Geesh, Geesh, Geesh, Tunk' Hard scuffing footsteps echoed through the eerily silent halls of Ferdinant Luke's as Father Andersong stepped into his chambers, the room quite a wreck his glasses and cross scattered on the floor along with a few un-important papers. His alarm clock which was detached from the wall laid still on the floor so harmless like it was nothing, however to Andersong that small harmless item along with his own impudence got children killed and now two held captive by the blood sucking mongrel Alucard.

"Unforgivable" Andersong muttered softly falling to his knee's in the doorway to his room those emerald eyes locked on the alarm clock, the image was fuzzy and blurry like looking through a cloudy puddle of water as the scorching tears nipped at the sides of his eyes once again. Lowering his head he tried to mutter out a prayer once again. " Oor . . .Father . . who art. . .in. . . Heaven" he choked on his own words not being able to stammer them out, as his fist slammed hard ageanst the floorboards letting out loud curses to himself.

Gritting his teeth now his emotional status past turmoil and anguish his heart was twisting with hate and anger for both himself and the monster that did this. Anderongs eyes closed tightly his hands griping forcefully on his head, shaking his head back and forth he let out loud horrid shouts and yells " Stop! no more! make it stop!" Andersongs eyes tightly closed shoving tears down his cheeks. He could hear over and over in his head the children's screams, the images flooding his mind now of all those children huddled and scared covered in blood. The children now were being taken care of now by some of the other ministers at the Orphanage taking them to other areas for safety sakes.

Andersong slammed his eyes open unable to see those images in his head anymore, his eyes were slid wide open not blinking one bit his face going suddenly cold and dark nothing like his normal self. As he rose to his feet slowly one knee at first the to his feet stretching up to his full seven foot height his head cocked back gently fading into the shadows as he slowly stomped over and bent down removing his glasses from the floor and placing them on his face. After adjusting them he spotted his cross and grabbed that up aswell placing it over his neck letting the symbol dangle ominously still across his chest, turning to the doorway he made his way out of the room however not before slamming a bayonet through the alarm clock stabbing it to the floor cutting and shattered the plastic to pieces.

Walking down the hall way he walked into the children's room still littered in blood and the message on the wall, Andersong found himself kneeling down beside a bed the same bed that belonged to the little girl held captive. As his hand reached out through the blood soaked sheets and pulled out a bible which he had given to the girl earlier on in the day it was now stained in the blood of those innocent children, rising up now he clenched the bible tightly in his white gloved hand before turning and exiting the room "Ashes tae Ashes, and Dust 'til Dust. . . Amen" he softly whispered those words were words he never thought he would have to mutter for those children. 'Geesh, Geesh, Geesh, Geesh' his foot steps seemed dragged out like he was walking in an endless void with no real destination never reaching anywhere no matter how far or fast he moved, though his feet were carrying him somewhere right out the door of the orphanage and into the street. They would continue to carry him towards where those children where being held however the safety of those children for sin's sake was not first in his heart, the main and first thing that raged and pulsed in his heart was hatred for Alucard pure and unrivaled hatred.

Vatican city, Rome. . .

'Ring, Ring, Ring' The phone on a desk rang rattling it back and forth as a gloved hand griped the phone a simple cross on the glove saying 'Yes Jesus' going horizontal and vertical on the inside of the cross. " Hello" a rather dignified and tired voice softly asked " Maxwell we have got a problem" a stern yet feminine voice rang out in response "Sir Integral? To what do i have the pleasure of this. . . late night bother?"Maxwell's voice seemed irritated suddenly. " Shut it this is serious. . .Alucard has gone. . . well AWOL i don't know how it happen our why but he managed to leave the Hellsing manor with out notice and i fear he will be heading out for alittle visit with his favorite pal" her voice shouted out a serious and abit concerned tone to her voice actually. Maxwell perked up abit and slammed his palm ageanst the desk " And how long ago was this?!..what don't you have a proper leash for that freak?!" more irritated then before Maxwell barked out. "As i said warthog!. . . he was unnoticed there is no telling how long ago he left" Integral retorted with equal irritation now. " We must act fast" Maxwell voice calmed abit. " Aye. . . Im already on my way out there" Integral seemed the same way her usual calm self now. " Right " Maxwell hung up the phone with that things were to critical for a cheap comment ageanst Integral, As he quickly bursts out of his office and found Father Renaldo " Renaldo! we have a problem!"

Meanwhile. . .

Down the darken streets of the small city which the orphanage resided walked a tall figure his body completely covered in shadow, two glowing circles over taking his eyes. A large cross glowing on his chest swinging back and forth with his determined stride. His arms down by his side one gloved hand tightly griping the leather bound bible, and the other on a single bayonet. The polished blessed steel taking on the glare from the street lamps causes brilliant flashes each time the light bounced off the surface. Rounding a street corner there the behemoth scotsman stepped one leg at a time each one seeming like an eternity to him, each one drawing him a step closer to his pay back, his revenge, his redemption. Those emerald green eyes of his perked up suddenly at the sight of a far off figure, the top of a distant statue it was the town center he had finally arrived. Skulking his way up the hill his steps drew even heavier and so full of turmoil, as he rounded the top his head cocked to the side inclining slightly to spot the empty field which wasn't so empty. His eyes widining once again at the sight of a pole sticking up in the center of the field with a burlap sack impaled on the top of it, no doubt the Vlad in the demon was showing with this piece of steel stuck through the and a head impaled on it. Andersong's shaky glazed over eyes drifted from the head to finally come to rest on the demon himself, accompanied by two children on either side the one badly hurt it seemed but the other looked perfectly unharmed. 'Wha demonic plans does he have for those poor children' Andersong's thought before sternly walking now to the edge of the field and stopping. Those emerald orbs locked on the demons face which was twisted and distorted like a mental patient.

Giving a soft cackle Alucard's head rose up to spot the Judas rounding the hill, his demonic grin soon turned to quite the insane smile. Alucard could see clearly oh so clearly the turmoil and torment on the Judas's face, what emotions his face told they were so easy to read it was like he had a open book full of what his soul was screaming. His white satin gloved hands resting along that red coat atop his knees, bringing up one hand he flicked the tip of his wide brimmed hat up exposing his face more. Alucard's face was indeed twisted and distorted with a maniacal smile that fang glinting brightly like a crimson stained diamond. Pushing himself up from the rock he sat upon Alucard took a few steps outwards, his hand dangling down at his side mad a come here motion behind him. With that motion the small girl rose up looking like a stiff zombie and skulked over beside Alucard, placing his hand on the top of the girls head gently petting her Alucard let out another demonic fit of laughter while looking at the Judas now " Why have you come Judas?. . these children WANT to be with me, and your to late to save the other ones. So why don't you just scamper off back to that pathetic blood stained orphanage and repent for the next hundred years." His smile took more of a smug grin now as his laughter rang out from between those fanged jaws.

Andersong's fist tighten around the leather laced bible griping the thing so tight the leather began to stretch and crack, his other hand griping that blade handle the rattle of steel echoing faintly through out the field. Andersong's head once tilted down in shame hiked back rather far letting the shadow envelop his facial features, the only thing promonatly seen on his face was the two glowing orbs of his glasses which sat atop his eyes. Letting out a few soft cackles at first he soon was nearly hunched over in a fit of laughter, it had seemed Andersong had snapped "GYAHAHA! filthy. . . filthy demon! and yer filthy demon children! Ye take me for ae fool?! Ah noo those are just ye'er sad ghouls ye mustarded up tae look like the children ye killed!. . . Ah will be sure tae whip ye A' OOT!!!"Andersong shouted his voice a mixture of torment and anger but was soaked with his psychotic mind set, his eyes wide and trembling slightly as he stared at the demon and the little girl he somewhere inside knew she was just being controlled by the demons black magic but right now he seen her as just another one of his ghouls. After those thoughts Andersong cackled insanely and began to skulk towards Alucard and the child the single blade in his grasp raising slowly out to his side, his wrist twisting in a way the blade was pointed downwards. His other arm extended out the same way but held the bible in his white gloved hand, both his arms out to his side stretched out straight hands facing downwards his body was shaped like that of a crucifix.

Alucard's head inclined slightly to the side abit curious at the Judas's comment, but he simply shruged it off and cackled in retort to him " HAH HAH! very well Judas! You look at it however you want just lets not waste time on talking! I've been waiting all night for this and I'm getting rather bored with KILLING CHILDREN!!" Alucard demonic voice shouted out his eyes widen those red wine irises glowing it seemed as they stared at the approaching man. Alucard's gloved hand disappeared inside his coat before revealing itself again now holding onto the black clad Jackal, his other hand removing itself from the child's head and diving into the opposite side of his coat removing the polished chrome that was Joshua. His arms extending out the same way the Judas's were, his wrist twisting downwards both guns hanging down abit but were aimed towards the Judas. Alucard's boots braced ageanst the dirt, his knees bending slightly building up momentum behind him like a spring ready to snap. " COME ON! WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO?!?!" Alucard brashly yelled like a war cry before releasing the tension in his legs propelling him foreword with vampiric speed in each of his strides towards the Judas, his arms pulling back abit aligning them parallel with his body both the barrels of the guns aimed foreword right for the Judas's head.

Watching Alucard shout at him Andersong simply cackled once again and continued his pace for a moment, his legs suddenly tighting up to shove his body foreword in a brash race towards Alucard now. " REPENT AND DIE DEMON!!!" Andersong shouted out before cocking his arm back and whipping the bible from his hand heaving the Holy book towards the ground, the same time his arm came back now the once vacant hand now grasping another blade. Both arms coming back now one infront of his chest and the other rearing around behind his back, the tips of both blades aimed foreword right at Alucard head.

"GYAHAHA! GOTCHA!!" Both Andersong and Alucard howled out in a war cry while they drew right infront of each other like two trains about to collide, Alucards guns reared up shoving straight for the Judas's skull. And Andersong's blades sliding foreword ready to puncture the abominations head with the blessed steel. There eyes locked on one another, both those red wine and the emerald green eyes gleaming with a psychotic glint. Their faces twisted into a maniacal smile ready to hear the others screams of pain.
