Chapter 19: I Debt Repaid
Disclaimer: I don't own Hellsing
Alucard and Alexander simply stood there in the center of the arena seeming to size each other up. Though everyone else knew that Alucard and Alexander were both waiting simply for the other to make the first move. In the end it was Alexander who began the fight, but Sieghardt who finished it.
Alexander ran forward at full speed with his blades at the ready to slice apart the elder vampire. Once he reached Alucard he succeeded in beating Alucards dodging game and getting in a few good hits before Alucard drew the Cassul and Jackal and began to fight back.
Alucard used his guns to block Anderson's blades as the priest continued to strike at the elder vampire. They were beginning to send of sparks at the amount of speed and strength from the battle. At one point there was a deadlock in which Alucard's guns and Alexander's blades were both stuck causing their bodies to freeze. As they pulled apart one with good enough eyesight could see the heat's affects on the blades and guns as smoke and orange-red began to show from the friction caused by the blades.
Meanwhile Axle was sitting in his chair in the coliseum looking at this fight with the greatest of awe. He knew that this would be grand but he had no idea it was going to be anything like this, this was simply unbelievable. He had never seen anything like this in his entire existence, even when Kagan fought others it was never like this.
Sieghardt, Integral, and Seras were each standing near a wall in the pit waiting for the fight to finish. Seras and Integral were silently cheering Alucard, but Sieghardt was simply there and waiting for the right moment to execute his plan. He knew what Axle had done to Alexander. He knew that this was the reason why the priest had somewhat of a dead look in his eyes when they first saw him.
Axle was a fanatic with fighting. So much so that he used his mind controlling abilities to make others fight simply for his own entertainment. He knew that Kagan had him in the waiting so that when they arrived Axle would have taken over Alexander's mind and had him take down Alucard, or at least weaken him so that they could make their sacrifice with him. The thing they didn't count on was Sieghardt's preparation earlier in giving Alexander the info he needed to keep from being fully controlled. Sighardt owed Alexander a debt and he was planning on repaying it.
Back in the fight Alucard had succeeded in putting a few holes into the priest while the priest succeeded only causing a few scratches on Alucard's armor. The priest's regenerative abilities began to work and the fight was on once again.
They continued to exchange blows, a fight of contradictions in themselves. Gun vs. Blade, Priest Vs. Demon, Light Vs. Dark. The battle continued on, each exchanging blows and neither showing any sign of giving up soon. The sparks flew and the gun sounded as their fight raged on. Toward the end Alucard decided it was time to break from the apparent farce and finish off the paladin once and for all.
Alexander was thrown back allowing Alucard to take the opportunity to point the Jackal right at his had and blow out his knees using the Cassul.
When Alexander hit the ground Alucard was right in front of him with the Jackal point-blank at his head.
" I see that this is where our feud ends Paladin Alexander Anderson. Now you will finally know your place, pathetic Judas Priest." Said Alucard as he began to pull the trigger.
Alucard, though, never got the chance to kill the priest because at that moment Sieghardt chose to enact his plan. His first step was to kick the gun in Alucard's hand up so that the bullet when it was fired did not hit the priest. He then used a spinning back kick to knock his father backward and onto his back. Alucard was not expecting this and Sieghardt's speed was an advantage here as well.
Before anyone else knew what to think Alexander had thrown two of his blades at Axle and accompanying them were the bullets from Sieghardt's modified Cassul. The blades hit dead into Axle's heart while the bullets made their mark in his head. He had a look of utter and total surprise on before falling and disintegrating into dust.
" Nice aim but you were off about half a centimeter." Said Sieghardt as he helped up the paladin when his legs were healed.
" I don't need your opinion on me aim, demon." Said Alexander, though in not as scornfully as he would normally say it.
" Yeah, yeah." said Sieghardt.
" SIEGHARDT" boomed Alucard, " What in the pits of Hell do you think you're doing!"
" Simple father, repaying a debt."
" What do you mean ' Repaying a debt?" asked Seras who had finally joined the conversation. She and Integral were both just as, if not more than, stunned to find the son of Alucard helping Alexander Anderson. This was simply one of those ' If this happens then the apocalypse is coming' things.
" I owed something to him and this was my way of repaying it." Began Sieghardt, " This all started when my father went missing and after Kagan's attack on Hellsing. We weren't the last of his targets though. Section XIII was one of the other targets that Kagan had. He basically managed to destroy every other vampire hunting organization and cause the entire world to go into a sort of apocalypse Alexander, myself, and a group of others from other organizations were able to come together to try and beat Kagan. Alexander and I met when I was only 18, and he taught me some of the skills I have with the sword. We were also team mates in our fight."
" But he's a Catholic priest from the Vatican, why did you help him?" asked Integral
" Religon really didn't come into play after Kagan took over. So even though we were from different religions we both had the same goal. Much like why we are here now. We are all here to fight Kagan and bring him down. We are all here to stop him from gaining the power he seeks and taking over. We are all here to keep what happened to me from happening again." Said Sieghardt
" But then why did you beat him when you first arrived here?" asked Seras
" Had to prove myself to you, didn't I?" replied Sieghardt, " Now if there are no more questions then I suggest we move on."
