Xander was starting to see how having a vampire as a servant could be a good thing. If Alucard hadn't been there and on his side, then the mercenaries would've thrown him in gaol and that would have been that. He would have also lost his rail driver, which he was getting fond of. The powerful rail driver's scopes could see warm bodies through walls, and the slugs could drive through a hundred walls and still have enough energy left to kill anyone in it's path.
They'd met up with Parker there. The angry miner seemed to have worked off some of his aggression towards Ultor since Xander'd last seen him. He'd taken a lot of joy in telling Xander about how he blew up Ultor's missiles in their silos (with Hendrick's hackerly help), and about how he had sent the distress signal to the Earth Defence Fleet.
Xander, Parker and Alucard had then escorted Hendricks to the control room in the barracks, where a trap in the consoles had killed the skilled security cracker. The three were currently moving towards Eos, and the bomb that the mercenary commander Masako had set up to cover her escape.
"Vampire! Got any more 7.62 belt ammo?," Parker yelled, frantically reloading his HMG. He was sure that he wasn't using correct military terminology. Heck, he doubted that any of the Red Faction knew the right words.
"You mean me or Alucard?," Xander yelled back, before he handed over his last box of 7.62mm rounds. He was taking a lot of joy in trying to ditch the 'Vampire' nickname.
"Ha ha, very funny," Parker grumbled. "Where's your friend gotten to?"
"Alucard? He's gone ahead!," Xander said. He knew that the old vampire could take care of himself perfectly well, and functioned best when he could cut loose.
They got to a large room with two lifts on the other side. A small flyer with Masako inside rose into the air, the servo's whining as the heavy machine gun mounted on the nose and the rocket launchers moved around to aim at Xander and Parker. Xander could only guess that she had missed Alucard's passing because of the vampire's room temperature body.
"We're gonna need a bigger boat," Xander joked. Parker gave him a dirty look before he started strafing around the flyer, unloading the remainder of his 7.62 ammo into the small ship before moving back to the 5.56mm assault rifle. Xander quickly joined him, using his assault rifle on automatic.
Eventually, of course, the ship exploded. A purple shield sprang into view around Masako, much like the scientist Capek had had.
"Dammit!," Parker shouted. "Why does everyone except for me get the cool powerups?"
"Where the hell has Alucard gotten to?," Xander asked Parker. They were down a gun without the vampire.
"I dunno!"
Masako's shield failed as the nanotech crumpled under the barrage of lead.
"Maybe I'll visit your parents when I get back to Earth. They won't even have a body to sob over. You and the rest of the scum will be vaporized in the blast!," Masako screamed at the two miners.
Right before Xander switched to his rail driver and put a metal slug between her eyes.
Parker ran down to the room below the current one, where Eos was tied up next to the bomb. They found Eos and Alucard leaning against the large (and most importantly, disarmed) bomb.
"What... how did you know how to disarm a bomb?," Xander asked Alucard.
The longhaired servant grinned at Xander, before taking mercy on him. "I learnt from Hellsing's gunsmith."
"Vampire, Parker, the Earth Defence Fleet should be here soon," Eos said. "We've won."
"What are you doing after this?," Parker asked the air. He was going to try doing what his parents wanted, and go to Harvard. He'd come to Mars to rebel against their perfect plan for his life, and made his point.
"I dunno," Eos said. "I'm not staying on Mars, that's for sure."
"I'm going back to the Hellmouth," Xander said. "It should be fun, fighting people who don't have guns and grenades."
"Then that's where I'm going," Alucard decided. "Oh yes, Master, Elizabeth wants to speak to you."
Eos shrugged. "Unless I feel like something else, I might as well tag along."
"Elizabeth?," Xander asked his servant.
"You might know her as Queen Elizabeth II," Alucard expanded, a smirk growing on his face as Xander looked gobsmacked.

Post-Fic Comments:
Yah, finally finished the Red Faction arc of this crossover. I'm not sure what to do once they've gotten back to Earth, or at what stage Buffy & Co will be up to (it's been a year since Graduation), so any help would be appreciated timeline wise.
I know that ages of important peoples (like Walter, Hellsing's gunsmith and the Queen) are most likely out of whack, but I really don't feel like inventing people.
