Chapter 7: Battle of the Sword Dancers (This was the only thing I could think of that describes this chapter)
Disclaimers: I don't own Hellsing
" I see, you still believe you can beat
me, do you not?" asked Donavin with a great amount of superiority in his voice.
Sieghardt only chuckled and replied with the same amount of bragging, and
wearing a cocky grin on his face.
" It has been over Two
Centuries since we last fought, and I have changed a great deal since then. I
am not the mere novice that you once were acquainted with, this is the battle
that you will not walk away from."
" You simpleton, do you really believe you have the skill to face me, the greatest swordsman in Kagan's army? I will teach you to learn your place, GODDAMN PUNK!!!" Donavin's reply was one filled with venom and hate.
His reputation was of the greatest swordsman in Kagan's army, and he wasn't about to let some punk with a two swords ruin that, merely because he was the son of Alucard. Alucard in Kagan's time, as he had once explained, was the most powerful vampire, and vampire hunter there was, or will be. This one in front of Donavin was nothing more than some spoiled brat with a few weapons, but he would teach him a lesson.
' And send him back to "Daddy" whining and with his tail between his legs' thought the General as he charged at Sieghardt.
They met on the middle of the roof, where Donavin tried to slam down with his blades. They were much like Sieghardts, except their shape was of a crescent moon, and they were wider, with a sort of dip at the very top of the blade.
As Donavin crashed down with his blades Sieghardt crossed his forming the shape of an X where he blocked. He shot upward with his swords and knocked Donavin off balance for a moment, that was all he needed. He executed a perfect 360-degree flip; vertically, this action caused the back of the sole of his boot to connect with Donavin's chin, sending him backward, and onto his back.
Donavin flipped up while Sieghardt stood up with his legs spread a little, the bottom of his sword hilts at his thighs, facing Donavin. The blonde Vampire was amazed at the level of skill this one possessed, it was something he hadn't seen of him when they last fought, and on a very small level, he was somewhat honored to fight someone who might be something of a challenge.
" I see you have improved some, I just hope that you have much more than that though, otherwise killing you would be a waste of time. And I don't think you want that to happen, especially in the presence of your father." Said Donavin, sure enough Alucard and Seras were standing on the roof of the museum, but they were enough of a distance away for them not to be in the crossfire, should these two decide to unleash their powers.
Sieghardt began to laugh, this startled Donavin, he had been told that Sieghardt was simply a "Daddy's boy". He would never laugh, and always show the utmost seriousness in the presence of his father.
" I honestly hope this isn't some form of intimidation, Donavin. If it is, then I hope your ready to be beaten." This time Sieghardt didn't wait for reply, he merely leaped from where he was and attacked Donavin head on.
There they were, attacking relentlessly, their bodies moving with speed unimaginable. Their arms began to become blurs, as the swords danced across their bodies creating an almost spherical shape to it. Slash after slash from both sides sent sparks flying from the field as they continued to fight, and from the looks of things, Sieghardt was winning. A matter of hours passed, only seeming as seconds between the two fighters. Seras and Alucard remained where they were standing. Though beginning to get somewhat stiff from merely watching these two. They had already taken the time to send the agents back to the Mansion after dealing with Donavin's minions.
Donavin knew he was losing and wasn't about to allow this to happen to someone with as great a reputation as himself. Sieghardt's glasses had already been slashed off, as well as his hat, while all Donavin had happen was the loss of his trench coat and a huge gash in his shirt. If he was going to end this, it was going to be now. Sieghardt slashed in crossing motion, hoping to decapitate his opponent, but Donavin had other plans. He ducked the blades and jumped backward fifteen feet before landing and sheathing his swords.
" I see you have decided to give up Donavin, this is a wise decision, and I hope that you take the True-Death like a true Vampire." Said Sieghardt, but what was disturbing him was that Donavin had a smile of his face.
" I will not allow you to win, so if I can't you head on, then I will have to use other methods." Donavin the faced Seras, and before the eye could follow, let loose a great number of daggers, aimed straight at Seras. Before Alucard or Sieghardt could act the daggers embedded themselves in Seras.
The pain was unbearable, these were like those that Alexander had used on her when they had first met, but their pain was intensified by something, probably the fact that there were so many in her now. She wondered if this was the way she would die, especially without telling her Master how she truly felt about him. This was her last conscious thought before the world disappeared into an engulfing darkness.
" SERASSSS!!!!!" yelled Sieghardt and Alucard at the same time. Alucard managed to catch her before she hit the ground. She was still alive, but she was breathing heavily. She was still a fledgling, so an attack of this magnitude would kill her, unless she received attention immediately.
Donavin began to laugh at his work, now Sieghardt would never be able to fight at his fullest, thinking on whether or not Seras was going to live or not.
Sieghardt ran over to Alucard and kneeled down over the two forms.
" Take Seras back to Hellsing and watch over her, and I will deal with this one. Now GO!" yelled the young vampire, Alucard remained there for a mere second longer, before phasing through the roof of the museum and making his way back toward Hellsing.
Sieghardt walked in front of Donavin, hate, anger, and an enormous fire burning in his crimson eyes. They then began to darken into the color of the blackest red. His swords gained a reddish Hugh, before they transformed. They grew wider and greater in length, and the mystic runes on each began to glow as the swords transformed into a black that could rival the night itself, an enormous red aura erupting from them.
" You have made your last mistake Vampire, for attacking her, I will make Hell seem like a paradise to you, YOU GODDAMN SON OF A BITCH."
Sieghardt charged at Donavin, letting out a fearsome yell as he did. Donavin was starting to regret his decision somewhat, seeing the type of power he could call upon, but still, he had powers of his own. He copied Sieghardt's actions; only his swords grew into a different shape as he charged as well.
When they met in the middle, there was a dome of energy released as they hit. The colors of their weapons and clothing once again melding into a whirlwind as the two fought fiercely. This battle only lasted a few short minutes though. Sieghardt had had enough of this one on this planet, and knew exactly what to do with him.
Sieghardt attempted a downward slash, but was blocked by Donavin. This did not stop him though, the power and rage he felt at that moment caused Donavin's swords to break, and in turn allowed Sieghardt's to come down and slash off the arms of the other Vampire.
Donavin let out a blood-curdling scream as he backed away from Sieghardt. Sieghardt wasn't finished yet. He walked over to Donavin, who was now on his knees with his head down.
" You have attacked a spectator, and have only committed this act to secure your victory. With this act I banish you, into the Depth of Hell itself. For all eternity." His swords returned to normal as he sheathed one of them and chanted the Hellsing oath " ' In the name of God, impure souls of the Living Dead shall be Banished to Eternal Damnation. Amen'"
With this said, he slashed down with the blade, the color of obsidian, and decapitated his enemy.
He stood there for a moment longer before turning around and meeting the first rays of the sun. This, of course, had not much of an effect on him. The only thing it really did was act in weakening his powers so that he only had his regenerative abilities while in daylight, along with his excellent sight.
' I guess I'll have to find some mode of transportation back to Hellsing.' Thought the vampire. He jumped down from the museum top and attempted to find some form of transport to suit his liking. He eventually found a red, Kawasaki Ninja, motorcycle in the parking lot of the building across the street. The lucky thing was that the fool who had ridden it before had left the keys in it.
Once Sieghardt started the motorcycle he sped down the road, going at its full speed, all the way back to the Hellsing mansion.
All the time, hoping, yet knowing, that Seras would live through her ordeal.
AN: I hope you liked this chapter, the next one should be about Seras and Alucard, this time I just wanted to leave you with some sort of Cliffhanger. This was sort of a crappy fight scene, but we haven't seen anyone else fight, so this might be the last time we see Sieghardt fight with this sort of power until he faces Kagan.
