Author Note!
We the real populace of Newport have nothing but contempt for the dominating local council who believe that we are all stinking rich and treat us as such.
(Adam: So we're going to simulate a total massacre of the bastards!)
For your viewing pleasure!
And now what you have no particular desire to see!

Integra sat at her desk, lighting a small cigar. Alucard appeared in the darkness at the end of the room and strolled quietly to Integra.
She didn't look up but began speaking, "The vampire problem is once again getting out of hand Alucard."
"What do you propose?"
"There must be a lone vampire who started this new infestation. He may be in England but we have no intelligence whatsoever…"
"What makes you suspect a single agent?"
"Well the last improvised plot ended with that, so I'm going on a hunch here…"
"…Orders, Master?"
Integra smiled at the familiar question, "Search and destroy."
Chapter 4: Residential Evil
The Hellsing troops lined up outside an extravagant office building. The top was emblazoned with a hexagonal symbol and the words: 'Selford & Vekin' There were numerous expensive cars parked outside but no sign of life.
"Right." Ferguson turned to the troops, "Squad A! Main entrance!"
"Victoria?"
Seras stepped up, carrying everyone's favourite gun…that big, anti-freak cannon thingy…
"Victoria, you lead Squad B to the far entrance on the east side."
"Sir, what are we expecting?"
Ferguson paused for a moment, "Ghouls and plenty of them…But we hope to apprehend someone of critical importance."
"Is it human?"
"We can only hope so. We believe he is at the very top of the office, there is a secure room in the event of emergency but you are more than capable of breaking through."
They marched off to the building. The door was quite obviously locked, but Seras effortlessly kicked the reinforced door down while still carrying the Harkonnen.
The squad entered quietly. The office was in surreal darkness but it was light enough to identify the surroundings.
Seras whispered, "Lights."
They switched on torches, revealing an immaculate office, everything was intact.
Seras took a radio, "Sir, there are no signs of any struggle on this floor."
"In that case, regroup with squad A and search the other floors. They should be round the corner from your position."
The group made their way around the office block, but there was no sign of Squad A.
Seras was beginning to look worried, "Sir, we can't find squad A and they aren't responding to their radios."
"Ignore that for now; your priority is to find life in the building."
Seras sighed and turned to the group, "Right then, we'll carry on to the next floor…"
She paused midway through her speech and began counting the troops.
"Umm, weren't there 12 of you before? Never mind."
The squad made their way to the poorly lit stairs.
MEANWHILE!
"Squad B! Come in squad B! Victoria!"
The group were in total darkness save for the flashing of guns firing rapidly.
A soldier paused to reload but was sent flying to the floor with a knife in his back.
"Man down! Man down!"
A few more soldiers were floored, leaving two firing wildly upwards at two objects flying across the ceiling at lightning speed.
A knife flew straight towards the second soldier, piercing straight into his neck sending blood flying. He collapsed on to the floor as the last soldier looked on in terror.
Two vampires landed in front of him and he pulled the trigger to a terminally inconvenient clicking.
"Oh no! Not now!"
He grabbed the radio at his side as the vampires leaped at him.
BACK WITH SERAS!
"Sir, still no signs of any people or squad A..."
The radio crackled and screeched but a broken message came through, "Victoria---tenth floor---vampi----."
The radio cut out before the soldier could finish.
"Everyone! Top floor! The lift won't hold my gun so I'll take the stairs."
The doors closed on the elevator as Seras sprinted up the stairs.
FLOOR 10
She emerged in a warmly lit, elegant corridor. There were a series of doors on either side. She glanced at the lift which had stopped at floor 7.
Seras maked her way along the corridor. She tried the first door. The handle rattled but the door would't open.
"It's locked from the other side…"
She tried another door, producing no result. "It's locked… Wait, why am I talking to myself?"
Just then she spotted a door with an odd plaque attached. She walked cautiously past a series of windows with rustling trees through them, lit eerily by the moonlight.
She reached the door and it was locked, the plaque had a sun-shaped hole in it.
"The symbol of the light of day will open up a new path."
"I don't have time for this!"
Seras stepped back, shouldered the cannon and blasted the door away along with a large piece of the wall.
She moved into the darkened room ahead. The light on the lift read '10', a computerised voice announced, "Floor 10"
This room was considerably larger and emptier than the others, the edges of the ceiling were lit with security lights but nothing below could be seen.
Seras continued in calling the soldiers, "Squad A! Thompson? Enfield? Browning?"
She thought for a moment, "Wow! What very English names they all have!"
She walked into the centre of the room but discovering none of either squad left, she lit a flare.
The flickering, red light illuminated a line of ghouls around the room. Seras started back in shock as a dozen or so ghouls appeared to be the missing Hellsing squad.
As the ghouls advanced, she made for the hole in the wall, but stopped in time to see the remaining Hellsing soldiers shambling lifelessly towards her.
She quickly became surrounded and lifted the Harkonnen. She fired one shell, erasing a line of ghouls but as she reloaded they swarmed around her.
"Oh…not good!"
Just then a large glowing hellish star appeared over Seras. The huge gun slipped out of the circle and fired, vaporising a huge group of ghouls.
"Master!"
Alucard floated casually out of the star and rested comfortably on his feet. He fired more bullets, ripping huge pieces off the ghouls until the room was cleared again.
"They're all dead…"
"This is no time to whine, police girl, there are two irritating pests at work here…"
Just as Alucard finished, two vampires zoomed across the empty room and halted directly in front of them. Alucard aimed his gun.
One of the vampires spoke, "Real vampires! Start praying, monsters!"
Shortly after speaking, his head was blown clean off, the body collapsed over and turned to dust. The other vampire looked on in horror.
Alucard smiled, "Oops! I guess my finger must have twitched."
The vampire suddenly ran off the spot, throwing a number of sharp projectiles at the pair of them.
"Oh please…"
Alucard squeezed the trigger, launching a bullet, ripping a massive hole in the vampire's chest. He fell to his knees, with blood pouring out of the gaping hole in his chest, before collapsing and turning into dust.
Alucard spotted a massive security door in the corner of the room.
"Get up, police girl. I've found a rat!"
Seras was curled over on the floor, with many sharp objects stuck in her neck.
"Quit suffering! You'll heal!"
Seras closed her eyes and cringed as Alucard ripped the blood-soaked objects from her throat. She reached for bandages and wrapped one around the massive open wound.
"Better now? I need you to blast that door out. Our friend is cowering in there."
Seras snapped another shell into the cannon and launched it at the door, blowing it to pieces effortlessly.
An well-dressed man was indeed cowering in the corner of the room, almost in tears.
Alucard and Seras stood over the coward.
"Don't hurt me please!"
Fade out!

Adam and Tom were waiting by the front door, it was daylight. Tom lifted the letterbox and looked through. There was nothing out in the street.
"Are they there?" said Adam while spinning a pitchfork around.
"No I can't see them…Oh wait, there they are…"
A number of ghouls were stumbling around just to the right of the garden.
Tom looked back at Adam, "Wait! Shouldn't we get Phil?"
"Oh yeah, I guess he'll be useful…"
Adam entered Phil's room; he was sat in the computer chair with his back to Adam.
"Phil? Phil….we're going to get Mum and then we're heading to the Pub if you want to---."
He spun the chair round, Phil was clearly a ghoul. He groaned and advanced towards Adam, arms outstretched.
"Join us!"
