1Chapter Seventeen: Grande Finale' Part 1 (Revolution)
Kyle had refused the offer to sit. He instead stared intently at a picture of Sir Integra's grandfather.
"I have three questions."
"Alright. Go for it."
"First, how long do you plan to stay?"
"Not long. Three or fourdays at most. Probably more like two."
"Fair enough. Question two, are you really the Kyle 'Lightning' Newman that Walter has told me stories about and it's said even Alucard fears?"
"That's me. Though fear isn't the right term. More like respect. He respects me for the most part. If it came down to it, he could kill me. I do have a shot though, which is more than most can say."
"Alright. Last question, are you anything like Lui and Johnny?"
Kyle smiled, and turned to her. The glare off his glasses hid his eyes, but she was sure they held a mocking look, "I'm their older brother, what do you think?"
Integra's jaw dropped slightly, "Wait, how many brothers are there?"
"Well, perhaps 'brother' is too strong a term. I'm not directly related to them blood wise, but because of our relatively close life-ages and general brotherly attitudes it's just been simpler to act like brothers. Johnny has always been a little shy around me though..."
"I take it you don't see them very often?" She asked, remembering how he had commented on how much Johnny had grown.
"Not as much as I'd like to. So tell me, how much trouble have they been?"
"Go ask them yourself. They got most of it on video."
"I'll do that."
Kyle and Johnny were on one couch. Alucard was in the lazy boy reclining chair. Through some twist of fate Lui and Seras had ended up on the other couch. They both dared the other to do something.
Then Lui picked up the remote, and pressed play for the DVD player. After a few seconds the screen went black, then words faded into view.
"THE UNDEAD PRANK WAR OF HELLSING"
Then it flashed to a picture of a very bald Johnny chasing Seras, tearing through everything in his path. Johnny shifted uncomfortably as the rest of them chuckled.
Then they saw Lui lock Seras in his coffin, and carry her upstairs. Everything came in loud and clear. The camera watched the washing machine work for a minute, then it switched again.
Alucard was opening the coffin. It burst open, and there was a lot of yelling, then some laughter. Seras turned, and there was an 'Oh crap'.
Yes, they watched everything that had been filmed. Johnny had spent hours putting it all onto one DVD, and it had been worth it. Each had their embarrassing moments, each had their revenge. Personally Kyle loved it when Alucard had trashed the Mansion on the Lawnmower of Lucifer.
After it ended, Kyle asked, "So, what do you guys do now? That was a gem, all of it, but will there be any more?"
Lui shrugged, "I dunno. Maybe. It's just begun to get boring is all, and I think we're running out of good ideas."
"You at least have to give it a grand finale'." Kyle told them, then began to smile wickedly. That gave him ideas. Two or three days... He could work with that. "Let's see, five vampires. What can we do with five vampires?"
A smile slowly spread across Lui's lips, "A heck of a lot more than if we were trying to work alone."
Johnny nodded slowly, "All of us working together. That could be interesting."
Alucard sat up in his seat, "So a vampire revolution is it? I haven't even heard something sound that fun in ages."
Seras stood up and put out her hand towards the middle of the room, giggling slightly, "Alright, it's settled then. It'll be good to do something working together with people again."
Lui stood up, and put his hand on top of her's. Johnny followed suit, then Alucard and Kyle. The five of them smiled at each other. They broke the huddle in silence, forming temporary vampire clan.
"Alright Kyle, you've started this. What do we do first?"
"Well, since we would be hard pressed to out-do most of the stuff you've already done... Barbie Alucard... Let's do things that would be considered awesome as well as funny. Taking the audience into account, they'll be laughed out by the time they ever got to this part. Now we wow them."
Lui rubbed his hands together, "Alright, I have an idea. You haven't heard us, but we have a pretty good rock/metal band here. You add another guitar Kyle, so it works out even better. We have enough songs I think."
"Good. Where?"
"Integra owes me one, that won't be a problem. Johnny, you go and start making flyers, posters, whatever. Vampires of Hellsing. Seras, you go help him."
Kyle nodded, then smiled as he formulated what they were going to do over the next few days, "This is going to be one wild party."
Integra sighed. She couldn't refuse him, she had given her word. But still, it was an odd request and rather short notice. At least he was paying for it. All she had to do was set it up. Better than having to front the bill as well.
She stood up, and looked out the window. Lui had also given her the news that he and Johnny would be going back to America with Kyle. It appeared that the repairs on their home were finished.
"Are you going to miss them Master?"
"Are you Alucard?"
The elder vampire dropped from the ceiling, landing softly. He told her, "It's been fun. Now it's drawing to a close. You're evading my question."
"Why don't you read my mind?"
"I can't anymore."
She turned to him, surprised, "What do you mean? How do you still know what I'm thinking then?"
"You've grown too strong for me to simply waltz about in your mind now Master." He looked over his sunglasses with what looked like an honest to God normal smile, "I just know you so well it's normally not a mystery what you're thinking."
Integra shrugged and looked back out the window. She smiled, "Yes, I guess I will miss those two idiots. They've brought chaos to a normally boring and uneventful life. And I must say, they've begun turning you human Alucard."
"Maybe I was always human. I was just hiding it from you."
"And why would you be doing that?" She asked curiously. This was a different mind game from usual.
Alucard seemed to weigh the next statement carefully, then said, "Perhaps to provide a challenge for you. To test you. To see the true measure of your character."
"Why would my character need measuring?"
"To see if you are worth stirring up my emotions over."
Integra blinked. She half-turned, and saw Alucard staring at her intently. She hadn't seen this look before. What was that supposed to mean? What emotions were Alucard stirring up? Was he implying?
No, surely not.
Kyle and Lui happened by, both smiling to each other when they heard the two talking. Lui said, "'Bout time. I was wondering if that overgrown bat would ever come out of that stupid shadow he wraps himself in."
"I take it you've been expecting this one Lui?"
"Please. Integra is the only person I know with enough will to control Alucard, seals or not. Alucard is the only one with enough power to try and cross her. The saying goes, opposites attract. The only reason they haven't hooked up by now is that they're both more stubborn about not becoming the weak one than Johnny is about never going to the hospital."
"I guess that's how you and Johnny are though. You guys could take the coldest person on Earth and pierce any sort of emotional barriers they have."
"Hey, I haven't led an all thathappy existence. I do my best to make sure others don't follow suit. Anyway, what was that idea you had with the motorcycles?"
"Ya, we get some bikes, and we pull some serious Hollywood stuff around London..."
Professor Curly here. Thanks for the compliments Omega Z, and all the rest of you. Yes, sadly the story is going to wind down now. Don't worry though, there are still three or four long chapters yet before the end.
And now notes on the story. I'm bringing Alucard and Integra together, no this isn't going to turn into a fluff (Can't stand the stuff, but I have a plan that requires it. Now I'll go cry myself a river) piece.
Now, all of you. I have one very simple request. I need songs. Imagine the band Vampires of Hellsing. I need help writing some songs, so if you could post ideas, or entire songs, that would be great.
Note: Keep profanities to a minimum in the songs. Also, remember that the main theme of most songs would be to convince people not all vampires are bad. And while you could see Alucard singing about death, destruction, and bloodshed,try to toss it up a little.
Oh, and yes Alucard may get a little out of character. I'll try and keep it to a minimum.
Right, I think that's about it. Professor Curly, out.
