11Hellsing: American Company

Disclaimer: I do not own Hellsing or any of that good stuff, just a few of the characters are mine. Course, if I did own Hellsing... But we won't go there.

The man was tall, but that was the second thing you noticed about him. The first you noticed the blood red coat, matching wide brimmed had, and yellow-red tinted sunglasses. His hair was long, stretching down his back, and was midnight black. He would have stuck out in his boots and black suit anyway, the crimson additions were just for flare.

This was Alucard, the lord of the undead. Or at least, everyone who knew him thought that. He was cryptic, but he hinted that there were others more powerful than he was.

Of course, he knew that any threat that came, he would destroy, utterly and completely. That was the pact he had made after all.

But he stood in his room, contemplating an envelope in his hands. The butler, Walter, had been shocked beyond belief when he saw it. On it was written the address of the Hellsing Mansion, and in simple black letters, one word. Alucard.

He opened the envelope, and slowly read the letter.

Hey Alucard, it's been a while. Look, I kinda blew my place to kingdom come, and you're the only one I know who'd actually be willing to let me crash for a while. I know this is short notice, but humor me. Put it simply, I need a place to stay, I'll be there on Wednesday, and if you have any objections, well... I'll just dig myself a little hole and bury myself for a while.

Luis Thomson

Alucard flipped the small note over, then read it again, not sure if it was serious. Wednesday... That was tomorrow. Hmmm, Integra wouldn't be happy...

Perfect.

Seras-

She was a little on the short side, blonde hair, and very attractive. She sighed as she watched new recruits run the training course, trying to sort out the riff-raff from possible soldiers of the Hellsing Organization.

Seras-

She snapped out of her thoughts at her master's call. Her red eyes instantly turned in the direction of the manor.

Master? What is it?-

I think it's time you met another of our kind besides me-

But I have met another...-

Briefly. Your meeting with Helena really doesn't count. You never got to know her well.-

True. What are you thinking of Master?-

I don't know yet police girl-

Seras cursed as the conversation ended. Responses like that always meant that Alucard did know, and had already planned something. She wished she could start the telepathic conversations, but she had been a true vampire only a little over a year. Her powers hadn't come to her. Yet.

"Hmmm, should I tell Master about this?" Alucard gave off his bone chilling, maniacal laugh, "No, it will be so much more fun this way!"

Two men walked down the street. One had a guitar case slung across his back, and was a little taller than his companion. His brown hair was cut short, and his clothing was simple and black. His shirt had a large METALLICA logo on the front. He looked down at the piece of paper in his hand.

His companion was wearing a denim jacket, blue jeans, and a white t-shirt. His accent was of someone from the Texas region of America. His hair was a little long, and brownish-blond.

Both were wearing sunglasses, though it was the wee-hours of the morning, to hide their blood red eyes.

"Lui, is this the place?" the shorter one asked, looking up at the mansion.

The one with the guitar shrugged, "I guess. It's the right address."

"I thought it would be, fancier. I mean, Alucard is arrogant and flashy right?"

"He is. Or, was."

"Well, it's big enough anyway. It seems to be crawling with humans though. Wonder why."

"Well, he did say something about being bound to this one human family. Hellsing? Ya that was it. Supposedly a big vampire slaying family."

"Darn right bro. They actually made it into the news a while back. And that's impressive for people who kill things that aren't supposed to exist."

"Good point bro."

They had been created by the same vampire, so they were 'brothers of the night', much like the famed Valentine Brothers. They had been pretty cool, besides the homicidal tendencies and the one's really weird looks and behavior...

"Hey Johnny, you did bring the gun I made you didn't you?" Lui asked, as the thought came to mind.

"I...No."

"Dang it dude, I put a lot of work into that thing for you! But fine, if you want to use a frickin' sword, go ahead. See if I care when you die."

Johnny fingered the hilt of his sword. It was a mix of styles, a rapier design with katana forging methods, making it very deadly. Especially with the enhanced silver alloy, which wasn't as effective as pure silver, was much stronger. It had served him well, and he was expert with it, even though it wasn't a weapon of his time.

Lui pestered him about it, but it was really just because he was bored. He knew that his brother could fight pretty much any opponent he wanted to and still win.

"So Lui, do we just stand here till sunrise?"

"Course not. But do you really just want to walk in?"

"What choice do we have?"

"That's on then Johnny, let's rock."

They phased through the front gate, and casually strolled toward the front door. Something, somewhere must have seen them, because in a matter of minutes they were surrounded by heavily armed soldiers, who were clearly trained for this sort of thing.

They weren't surprised, but they were getting a kick out the situation, "I told you we should have taken a left at that last street."

"Dang it man, do these guys just sit here and wait for two innocent tourists to walk by admiring the architecture?" Lui asked, looking at the large number of weapons pointed towards them.

"Fire!"

Bullets sped towards the two vampires, but there was a sudden rift in the wind, powerful enough to force all of the bullets strait down into the ground.

"Show off." Johnny muttered as he watched the whirlwind around them suck the bullets down.

The men looked at the vampires in awe. Had that really just happened?

Then suddenly Lui spotted a gorgeous blond on the roof of the building, looking down on them from the sights of a huge cannon.

"Hey Johnny, check her out."

The younger vampire whistled slowly, "She's hot man. Wonder if she's got anything planned later."

"I heard that! Eat harconan!"

The woman fired the cannon, sending a huge slug hurtling towards them. Lui had time to crack his neck, then get his body loose. As the shell approached, he actually reached out, cupped in his hands, and slung it around back at her.

Seras watched in slow-motion horror as her own shot rushed back at her. She closed her eyes, expecting the pain to hit, but it never did. She opened her eyes to see the cannon round inches from her forehead, still spinning.

Lui smirked, "A fellow vampire. Man, a woman that looks that good, uses that big a gun, and is a bloodsucker to boot? I'm in love."

Suddenly ten incredibly loud gun blast split the night, and large silver bullets hurtled towards Johnny. He quickly whipped out his sword, and twirled it quickly in a circle. The bullets were caught by the spinning blade, and instead of hitting the vampire merely stuck to the blade due to the sheer centrifugal force.

Lui blinked, then looked at his brother. When he saw what had just happened, he began to laugh, "You've been playing to much Devil May Cry man. When did you figure out you could stop bullets like that?"

"Are you kidding? I practiced for weeks to get this down after I saw it. I also learned this part."

In a quick motion, Johnny laid the bullets out in a line on the ground, then hit them with his sword back at the one who shot them.

They missed but a voice rang out in the darkness, "Luis, it's been to long."

The older vampire smiled, showing his fangs, "Alucard? Is that you, you crazy lunatic?"

Alucard appeared, chilling all of the men around him, "That was impressive. You've improved. Who is your friend? You made no mention of him in the letter."

Lui put a hand on Johnny's shoulder, and said with pride, "Surely you remember my little 'brother of night' Johnny."

"That's Johnny? That's incredible progress in such a short amount of time. But now we have more guests, and I welcome you both. Please, excuse the rude welcome."

"On the contrary, I think we appreciated the red carpet you guys rolled out." Johnny said, looking at the tall vampire lord, "So you're the famed No-Life king. You're going to have to tell me where you picked that one up. It took us months to figure out that it was you."

"Ah, my reputation precedes me it seems. Welcome to the Hellsing Estate my brothers. I'll have Walter prepare rooms for you."

Lui smiled, "So good ol' 'Angle of Death' is still around?"

"Indeed."

Suddenly a new, harsh voice that made even Alucard cringe rang out, "ALUCARD! WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON!"

Lui smiled slowly, "I take it you didn't tell your master we were coming."

"Oh no, that would have been to easy."

The two laughed, and while Lui's wasn't as blatantly insane, you could tell the similarity was there.

Seras sighed and shouldered her cannon, "Great, now I have to deal with two more of them."

You aren't the only one with good hearing cutie- Lui's voice said in her head.

Seras's eyebrow twitched. This was going to be an interesting stretch of time.
