Integra sat at her desk paper clinched so tightly in her hand at the reports of the explosion of London Tower, and the presumed death of the queen. What wasn't revealed to the public and what was on the piece of paper was that freaks were the cause. "HOW DARE THEY KILL THE QUEEN? HOW DARE THEY ATTACK THE CROWN?"
Walters face was somber. "Sir there is one hope. Alucard and Seras went to the Tower of London, they might have saved her."
Integra was furious, she new that Alucard wasn't dead, and then again it would take a tactical nuclear bomb to kill him, but what of Seras?
"Send all send all of the units to London now." Integra was interrupted by a large explosion. "What the hell is going on now?" Walter walked to the phone picking it up, "Report immediately... what? Impossible!"
A klaxon blared throughout the mansion, "Sir Integra. It appears were being, invaded."
Integra was seething now and she did the only thing she could do. "ALUCARD!"
Alucard could feel a desperate tug on his hands from the seal's. Something was wrong, very wrong, "Majesty, Sir blubber, Seras, lets go. We'll get her Majesty and blubber boy to safety and then I think there's going to be a problem at home, a big one." Alucard started walking looking for some police to hand the queen over to.
Seras clenched her fists, and looked to the Queen. "My Queen…" She bowed painfully and looked to Sir Aldrich. She bowed once more and looked to Alucard. She, too, could feel something very wrong. Even worse than before. Her blood was still dripping to the ground but she didn't care anymore. Adrenaline was rushing through her, he eyes were burning red. "Goddamnit…" She snarled, stepping into another portal.
She appeared in front of Sir Integral, and almost fell, but caught herself on her desk. "Sir?" She breathed, feeling the vibrations of the mansion.
She looked to Walter and clenched her fists. "Sir…" She nodded and rushed from her office, locking and slamming the door behind her. The hallways were darkened and still rumbling. Pain was still shooting through her, but it was slowly fading away. Blood dripped down the back of her legs. "Come out, come out… Wherever you are." She called out into the silence, playfully. "Show yourselves, bastards. You will have to kill me, before you reach them."
Beads of sweat formed on her pale, dirty forehead. She walked through the darkness. "That can be arranged, my dear." A voice echoed to her ears. She turned sharply, to feel a blade being thrown through her chest. She gasped her eyes widening, looking into the red eyes of another vampire. Blood seeped from her lips as they slowly curled into a smile. The vampire's brow furrowed as her laughter continued, echoing through the corridors, through the hallways. She grabbed onto his hands, and pulled the blade out of her body, still an insane smile plastered upon her face.
The blade was fully out of her body and she still held the vampires hand, holding it tightly. Her laughter suddenly stopped as she tilted her head, looking into his eyes. She let out a small breath, the only thing to be heard. She smiled, putting her hands to his shoulder and ripping arm off, tossing it to the floor.
He backed away, screaming and holding his bloody shoulder. "What was that now?" She asked. "Did you say you were going to kill me?" She grinned widely. "Are you so sure about this?" She took a step towards him, cracking her neck. "Well… Are you?" She laughed, grabbing the blade from the pile of dust, and tossing it towards him, slicing his head off completely. His body fell to the floor with a thump, and she caught the head in her hands. She dropped it and kicked it, as it flew through the air she pulled out her gun and shot it. She smiled, seeing the dust fall upon the floor.
"HOW DARE YOU ATTACK THE HELLSING HOUSE? YOU WILL ALL DIE MERCILESS DEATHS FOR YOUR IGNORANCE!" She yelled, making sure every ghoul and vampire that had invaded the building knew what his or her fate would be. She was still weak, but she could fight the urges to fall down, she could fight the darkness of the unconscious. She clenched her fists tightly, stepping over the pile of dust readying herself for another vampire or a group of brainless ghouls.
As Alucard handed the Queen off to some grateful people, he walked around a corner before disappearing. He appeared in the lower room with the weapons. He grabbed his loading it with an insane grin then, he grabbed Seras's case and disappeared again this time appearing in the med bay. He grabbed several packets of blood, and then he appeared next to an exhausted Seras. "Your powers are improving but it is foolish to start a battle like this without the proper equipment." He said, handing the case and blood packs to her. Drawing his gun, he shot one round and it blew away a group of ghouls. "Seras, you escort Integra to the safe room and I will take care of the big boys, and Seras. Don't fail me this time, police girl." He walked through a group of dust that used to be ghouls.
Seras looked to him, her eyes weld up with exhausted and painful tears. She ripped the gun from the case and threw the case down, after loading the gun. She threw her teeth to the blood packets, letting the blood fly down her throat. She smiled slightly, and ran back to Integral's office. She kicked the door open and looked to her. "Sir… I must get you to the safe room." She bowed her head to Walter. "Alucard may need a little bit of help." She told him, grabbing Integral by the arm and rushing outside. She looked behind her, seeing ghouls burst into ash every second. She was still weak, but… She would not fail. She would fight with the last strength she had. She hated disappointing people, especially Alucard. She ran faster and faster, watching Integral beside her.
She shot down some brainless ghouls that were making their way through the hallways. One tried to reach for Integral, but its neck was snapped before it got even an inch closer to her. She looked into Sir Integral's blue eyes, and opened the door to the safe room. "Come, Sir. I must get you to safety."
Alucard smiled as he blew away a random freak, it was odd that there were so many here. Usually it was one or two freaks and lots of ghouls. He fired his new weapon obliterating a group of ghouls with one shot. "Come on, I know you can hear me these ghouls and freaks are too boring. I know you can hear me what are you a coward? My gun begs for a proper field test, and the night is so young!" Alucard laughed maniacally as he blew away more ghouls.
Laughter echoed through the corridors, insane and high pitched. "Oh, Alucard." His voice came, as he appeared only feet away from him. His dark hair flowing down his shoulders, his slim body covered with tight clothing. His red eyes, focusing on Alucard's. "A coward, you call me, Alucard?" The figure grinned. "Aw, I am so hurt." He laughed, throwing his head back with joy.
He licked his lips, which were stained with blood. "Your friends… They tasted rather good. I loved hearing their heartbeat slowly fade away. Don't you? Or has that little whore of yours been keeping you from tasting the pleasure of the kill?" He took a step towards Alucard, drawing his own gun. "I am sure once I kill you, I will have fun with that sweet little kitten and your bitchy master, Integral. Boy, will they both taste so… Delicious." He laughed, stretching his gun out and pointing it towards Alucard's forehead. "It was a pleasure, Alucard." He laughed, pulling the trigger.
Alucard decided to play with the man for a time. To make him pay for his threats to his master and former fledgling. He fell to the floor and waited until the vampire turned his back then he stood again starting to laugh. "You think you can do away with me that easily? I do believe its my turn!" and with that brought up his new gun and fired three times. The vampire dodged out of the way of the returning attack as the battle truly began. He changed clips swiftly and was ready again, "How did that feel punk?"
Integra stopped outside the door to the boardroom that doubled as a safe room. She finally came to her senses. "Seras, I will not run and hide as my men are being killed and my house invaded. I will not! These pathetic things that would dare invade this House will die by my hands, this I swear!" She turned to Walter who already was readying his filament wires but took time to produce twin Beretta 93R's and a FN P-90 with LAM and scope.
"If you go into battle, Sir Hellsing, I shall follow."
Integra nodded and checked over all the weapons. "We should make our way down to the main level that's where all of the ghouls will be. Seras, you look injured. You should proceed to the medical wing to see to the disposition and safety of the doctors and other personnel also to get some blood for yourself."
Walter Smiled at Seras, "My dear, if you have all of the attachments I gave you for that weapon, may I suggest you use the UV light attachment. It will be most effective on the hordes of ghouls here." He turned and followed a now battle ready Integral downstairs.
Seras looked to Integral and nodded. "Yes, Sir." She bowed her head and reloaded her handgun. She smiled slightly to Walter and nodded. "I do." She said, gripping the attachment tightly. She wouldn't refute Sir Integral's decision, or her reprimand would go even stronger. She sighed, Alucard. She wants to fight. Unless you wish me to stop her, I will not stand in her way. Seras cracked her neck and growled, her body numb. She started to run through the halls, shooting each and every thing that moved. "Bastards…" She snarled, shooting them through the head, happily watching them dissipate into dust. She laughed, and raced to the medical facilities.
Many of the doctors were screaming, gathered in a group at the farthest wall. She grinned widely and slammed the doors behind her. "Doctor!" She called. "No worries! I was told to come here, and protect you. Just get me some goddamn blood, damnit." She ordered.
Dante laughed. "Oh, it felt… Good. Alucard, I have always wanted a good challenger. It seems as if you, are that challenger. What do you say, Alucard?" Dante bowed. "Let the battle begin!" He growled, throwing his hands out, darkness falling from the strands of his hair, surrounding him. His eyes, quickly changing black. "LET THE BATTLE, BEGIN!" He yelled, charging for Alucard.
"Excellent, finally a true challenge!" He cursed that his power restriction locked back down after the explosion. He jumped out of the way of the charging Dante. "Lets try this, Control arc restriction release to level3, level2, level1, the Cromwell initiative has been activated!" He landed with a gleeful smile plastered to his face. His hat, glasses, and expansive suit disappeared. He reappeared in a broken straight jacket his arms were free and tattered leather straps trailed behind his arms like wings. He pulled his weapon firing 3 times, then, rushed at him to follow up the assault.
Integra used the P-90 to cut her way through the ghouls all was going well. Her and Walter were cutting through them with ease until she noticed Walter's wires no longer flying through the air.
Walter was having fun for once until he felt something brush against his skin and he was lifted off the ground by a vampire that snarled in his face showing two long fangs covered in blood.
"It's time someone put you in your place human!" Walter tried to bring up his wires but he could feel a piercing pain through both of his hands. He heard twin cracks as the vampire drove stakes through his hands and then took two more and drove them through his shoulders.
"HOW DOES THAT FEEL HUMAN?" The vampire laughed then turned to see a pissed Integra, her eyes burned like flames.
She said, "In the name of god impure souls of the living dead shall be banished to eternal damnation, BURN IN HELL YOU SON OF A BITCH!" The last words were screamed as she fired the clip dry at the vampire dodged the shots and slammed her to the wall. Integra heard a sickening crack and to her profound annoyance the world began to fade. She focused every ounce of energy she had as the vampire reached for her throat. Integra tried to stop him as he neared closer smelling her.
"Your blood is richer and sweeter than you could possibly imagine! You'll taste great."
In desperation, she looked around and saw her P-90 disguarded on the floor. She reached swiftly for a concealed 93-R she brought it up swiftly and fired. The vampire staggered back and looked down at his stomach and chest.
She had somehow missed his heart. Integral brought up the gun again and… Click...click, click. Integra went for the second gun but her hands were wrenched from her sides and staked to the wall. Blood flowed freely from her palms and the vampire licked at it.
"Now I'll make you die slowly for tha..." He couldn't finish his sentence as his head fell from his body and turned to ash. Walter slumped unconscious as he saw the vampire die, "I'm sorry, Sir," was all he got out before he passed out from the combination of pain and blood loss.
"You did your duty, old friend. There's nothing to be sorry for..." She tried to focus on the best way to free herself. "Well this will hurt." She wrenched her hand away from the wall, pain spiked through her entire arm and she gritted her teeth refusing to cry out. Finally her hand was free and she used it to grab the other steak and pulled it out. She stumbled over to Walter but he was staked too high. "Now, it is I who is sorry." As she collapsed to the floor with a thud.
Seras drank the blood packets dry. She wrenched in pain, a feeling in her stomach almost crippling her. She looked to the doctors with wide eyes. "I am sure we have wounded. Get ready," she winced again. "I SAID GET READY, GODDAMNIT!" She yelled at them, ripping the facility door almost completely off its hinges.
She could smell blood a mile away, it aroused her; made her feel a little bit stronger. She gasped, pain still shooting through her. She raced through the hallways, shooting down each bastard that dare show its face. She snarled, her gun now completely out of ammo. "Bastard!" She yelled, grabbing one of the ghouls around the neck and throwing the butt of the gun through his temple. She dropped the dusting body and ran closer, closer to the blood she smelled.
She gasped, seeing Walter hung upon the wall like some bloody painting. She looked to Integra with tearing eyes. "Sir…?" She slowly pulled the stakes from Walter, feeling his pulse. It was all right, but he would die if not seen by the medical staff soon. Tears rushed down her cheeks. "I should have stayed with them… I failed." She told herself. "Just kill me now." She said to herself, throwing both Walter and Integra over her shoulders and running back into the medical facility.
Her body was full of rage and retribution, hatred and sorrow as she laid both of them down. She looked to the doctors. "TAKE CARE OF THEM! NOW!" She ordered. "NOW GODDAMNIT! I will go see if there are any more injured…" She closed her eyes, stopping at the doorway of the facility. "Take care of them." She said again, before rushing off to find any more hopeful survivors.
She ran through the hallways, hearing shooting and screaming. She gasped, seeing a battlefield of crying men. Blood was pouring from all of them. She looked to the ghouls, and grabbed up the soldiers guns, all loaded with silver bullets.
The ghouls tried to shoot at her, but she was too fast. She launched off one of the walls, and charged straight for them shooting the first few lines down. She continued until the clip was empty, even then she just grabbed up another gun… Shooting and shooting over and over again. It was like she couldn't control herself, getting caught with the hype of killing, and slaughtering. The smell of blood, arousing her greatly. "Stop it…" She yelled, throwing her hands through the ghoul's throats and chests. "Stop it…" She said again.
Her face was growing paler by the second, her eyes becoming a glowing red. She started to breath hard, not from exhaustion but from pain. She screamed, throwing ghouls against the wall as they dusted in seconds. Her body was shaking, and she tried to take control of herself.
She closed her eyes. Blood, pleasure, death. She clenched her fists. Drink it, drink it. Kill them, drink it. The many voices in her head screamed. She fought back with all she had, until she got most of the wounded to the medical facility.
She was panting, bringing in the last few she could carry. Blood, pleasure, death. She heard the voices over and over again. So much confusion and temptation was racing through her. She looked to the eyes of the Doctor, and then to Integral. No, damnit. She yelled back, looking over Integra.
She backed away from wounded, the essence of the blood racing to her nostrils. Alucard… Help me. She pleaded, her mind slowly decaying and dissipating into nothingness, into darkness and surrendering to the temptation to feed. She was fighting two battles, one within herself and the other, fighting for the lives of the Hellsing operatives, and the Hellsing Organization and family. She was battling both with everything she had.
Her body was shaking and she was still panting. Her will and power to fight were slowly disappearing, falling into nothing but dust same as the ghoul's bodies. All of the ghouls were dead; dust and blood lined the hallways. She had to get out of here, she had to. Out of this state of mind, out of this nightmare.
Bum-bump, bum-bump, bum-bump. So many heartbeats echoed though her ears, rattling at the insides of her skull. "Goddamnit," she yelled, throwing herself against the wall, banging her head trying to get the thoughts from her mind. Bum-bump, bum-bump, bum-bump. She hit her head harder and harder, until her body started to tingle.
The thoughts went away, the sounds, the echoing. All she could hear was her own breath as she leaned against the wall, slowly sliding down, her eyelids falling as well.
Dante dodged all three bullets and chuckled as Alucard came rushing towards him. "Come to me, Alucard. Face your fate, face your destiny…" He laughed, ripping out a katana and thrusting it towards Alucard as their bodies came closer and closer with each second passing.
Alucard could hear the screams of the men, the pleading of Seras and the tug on his hands from Integra. All of these were distracting him as the katana went through him. "Nice try you pathetic little idiot, but toys like that wont work." He smiled ruthlessly not letting on the distracted parts of his mind. He stepped away, the wound from the katana already healed. He snapped the katana in half with one hand and, brought his gun up to the vampire's head with the other. "Sorry, I don't have time to play tonight!" He fired once an explosive round blew the vampires head into particulate matter and the rest of his body fell to the floor. Alucard knew the vampire wasn't dead but he reloaded shot all the appendages off the stump of a body and left to many people needed his help.
Once he secured his master and Seras, he would then play with Dante some more. When he reached the medical ward, the sight that came before his eyes made his practiced smile fade and his control falter. He began moving for one of the many bodies that littered the ground tables chairs and beds but stopped himself before anyone noticed. He walked to Integra; he saw the large holes in her hands and her unconscious state. Walter was far worse, with holes through his shoulders and hands. He was teetering on the brink of death from the amount of blood loss. "Don't die on me... Angel of death." He turned from the scene and went to find Seras.
Alucard came into a room completely empty except for an unconscious Sears. He could feel the amount of need she had for the blood that coursed so freely here, then to his surprise she began moving. Her eyes opened but they held nothing of Seras only the bloodlust controlled her now.
Alucard stood in her way hoping that would be enough but it wasn't. She launched at him with a ferocity that surprised even him. He grabbed her wrists and tried to stop her from ripping him to shreds. He pinned her to the floor with all of his weight, "you are indeed strong Seras and a true Noseferatu,. Now control yourself!" He did the only thing he could in this situation, her body needed blood so badly and he couldn't allow her to have it or else all of the Hellsing house would become ghouls under her.
Alucard's mind raced for an answer, if it were any other time he would simply take her to a place where she could feed but he couldn't let himself leave not while Dante existed. His mind coming to an irevicable conclusion, he picked her up even though she kicked and tore at his back. He took her down stairs and put her in her bed, pressing a few controls then ripping them out as he locked Seras's door. He disappeared and reappeared in the infirmary. He went to grab some blood from the refrigeration unit when a doctor stopped him, "What are you doing?"
Alucard snarled an act that would make almost any human run for their lives but to his credit the doctor stood his ground, "T-threaten me all you like but we need what little blood we have left for our patients!"
Alucard looked to the doctor, who was somewhat; shaking but standing none the less and said, "If I don't get some blood for Seras you won't have patients, you'll have ghouls, understand?"
The doctor shook his head, "Goddamnit, alright but take only what you absolutely have to have! No more!" He then ran over to a nurse awaiting him for some matter.
Alucard grabbed the packets and disappeared, reappearing in Seras's room. He put the packets into the closed coffin by phasing them through the top. He hoped this would hold her. He had a vampire to take out.
Seras ripped through the packets, draining each one within minutes. She gasped and closed her eyes, tears running down her cheeks. She wanted more, more… More, damnit. Her body was shaking, calling out for more of the delicious crimson. "More." She whispered.
She started to punch the inside of the coffin. The hard wood, breaking some of her knuckles, but she was totally numb, she felt nothing but the pure insanity of bloodlust. She screamed, her hands ripping their way through the coffin with ease. She kicked it open, sending the top of the coffin to the wall. She raised herself up, her eyes bright with fury and power. She screamed, diving through the locked door.
She licked her lips with an evil grin spinning up her cheeks. Bum-bump, bum-bump. It was like music to her ears, she could dance to it all night long.
Dante picked himself up, his dark hair falling into his face as it reformed. "Very good, Alucard. Are you having problems with your… Friends?" He laughed, cracking his neck, rolling his head on his shoulders. "Don't you just love the scent of blood in the night…? I do, especially that of Royalty's." He laughed.
Alucards Laughter filled the hallway, "So tell me, Dante is it? What plan is working in your little brain? Hmm? Ghouls not turning humans into new ghouls, shooting the men instead. Don't tell me it's your plan to drink all of them yourself? Because one of your friends is already dead, I could smell the death of a vampire on my master... What's wrong plan going bad?" With that 10 shots of holy water and silver nitrate filled bullets hit the floor bursting and they scattered all over, what particles missed the vampire evaporated instantaniously. "So ready for round 2?" Alucard launched again at Dante.
Dante staggered, his body burning and numbing to the core. "No, actually. The plan is working out perfectly. You see, your little pet is going to have some fun." He laughed, still struggling to hold himself up. "We won't be the only ones you have to kill tonight." He laughed, waiting for Alucard's attack. A few seconds before Alucard hit him, he said, "Goodbye, Alucard."
Seras walked through the hallways slowly, clenching her fists. The music got louder and louder, the music of the heartbeats. She could hear gunshots, behind her. Alucard and his… Friend. She laughed, and continued on, her eyes wide and scanning over everything.
Alucard landed infront of him but before he could take action he was kicked straight through a wall. He saw Seras wandering. "SERAS! Return to your quarters!" He stood up and drew his gun, firing again. He leapt, dropping his gun and stabbed the vampire through the heart with his hand. "You're good just not good enough." The vampire nodded and faded into dust.
Alucard turned and found that Seras wasn't there, in fact he couldn't find her. This made him actually worry. He went to the one place that he knew she would go to and waited.
Seras tilted her head, looking to Alucard and turned. A part of her, told her to follow his order. But the stronger half told her to follow her instincts. She walked along the bloody halls, her fingers sliding over the bloody walls. She paused and licked her fingertips, the sweetest blood she's tasted ever. She closed her eyes, and leaned against the wall. "Integra…" She smiled, licking the staining red from her long shaking fingers.
She turned very slowly, letting her hair fall into her face. She started to hum innocently, taking small steps towards the Infirmary. The shots ended, so she knew Alucard had probably won the fight between the vampires. Again, a part of her hoped he would stop her, the other… Well, the other hoped he would disappear.
She walked to the Infirmary, seeing him waiting for her. A smile spread across her cheeks, as she looked over all the humans behind him, her eyes finally settling upon his. "What a night this has been…?" She said, taking a step towards him. "A night full of… Death and…" she paused. "Blood." She licked her lips seductively, taking another step towards him. "A night full of excitement, and screams. What a wonderful night." She chuckled.
She looked into his eyes, and pushed her body against his. "You want the taste of blood, do you not?" She laughed, pressing her lips against his, letting him taste the blood that still lay upon her tongue. She bit his bottom lip, pulling him closer. She parted their lips and smiled, "tastes good, doesn't it?" She whispered, backing away from him, and looking to the unconscious Integral.
Alucard smiled revealing his fangs that now were tinged with the red. "You're quite alluring, you know that Seras? You don't know how tired I am of being restrained of this pathetic medical blood! I have been sealed for over 500 years and... NO!" He said backing away, "Blood is fine but I will not betray Integra..." He stood there, his mind arguing with itself one with the lust for blood and the other of loyalty to Integra.
Integra slowly awoke looking to her bandaged hands. She tried sitting up but pain shot through her body. She tried to speak to look around but it was as if a fog clouded her mind, it was annoying but she finally sat up seeing Seras smiling malicously and Alucard backing away looking conflicted. "What is going on?" Integra tried to look commanding even though her head throbbed and her hands felt like they were no longer attached. She waited for an answer from anyone.
Seras smiled at Alucard and then looked to the waking Integral. She threw her head back in laughter, and looked into Alucard's eyes. "Wonderful…" She said, pouncing on Integra. She pinned Integral down to the bed. "Hello, Sir. Feeling any better?" She laughed.
Integra's eyes became wide and she started yelling. "Get off me, you stinking Vampire!" She tried to shove Seras off and thought she was unsuccessful until she realized that Alucard was lifting Seras off her.
Alucard had moved as fast as his delayed mind could move, "NO, I wont allow you to hurt her!" Alucard tossed her to the floor none to gently. He stood firmly in front of the now pissed and confused Integra.
Seras tried to hold back her laughter, but it burst from her lips. "Oh, God. Alucard." She laughed. "What you want to have her? Come on, you know you want to taste that sweet blood again. Taste that pulse, drink that sweet, sweet crimson." She licked her lips. "Plus, what are you going to do…? Kill me?" She chuckled, letting her fingers fly down her body, leading his eyes. She bit her lip, looking into Integral's eyes. "Hiding behind what you hate. How pathetic?" She laughed.
She sighed, and crossed her arms over her chest. "Well," she smiled. "It seems as if I won't be getting a meal here… Tonight, anyway." She laughed, looking into Alucard's eyes. "What do you love more? The taste of blood, or the pathetic human you are protecting, who gives you no respect, no love, not even trust…? I'll leave you to answer that question, Alucard." She bowed her head, and smiled.
Alucard finally came to a solution to the problem that would take care of everything. He turned to Integra, "I have called you Master long enough. I think its time to end the game, goodbye..." He said and uttering some words that were ancient beyond time. The symbols on his hands disappeared and he took off the gloves, "Integra." He walked over to Seras and disappeared with her.
