Chapter 11
"Hey Walter, are you any good at making custom ammo?" Seras was sat in the kitchen, Walter had soon come in not long later. Walter didn't know she was there, she was sat at the table, drinking.
"Hmmm…I have been quite good at that when I was in the army, why?" Seras picked out her weapon the cassul, out of coat and placed it on the table.
"I'm out, I need ammo." Walter stood at the opposite end of the table, much like old Walter. Although he still didn't come anywhere near her yet.
"What does it take?" Seras looked up,
"Erm." Seras mind went back to that day, so many years ago. The images were a little blurry…but a sentence leapt at her through the images.
"13mm explosive steel rounds, alloyed with silver melted from a Lancaster cathedral cross." Seras glanced back up to Walter still in his Hellsing army uniform. She repeated what she remembered. Walter jumped slightly…
"Wow…that is a powerful round, against the those monsters especially, what about the others?" Seras struggled to remember, but the thoughts started to come back as if it was yesterday.
" The Jackel takes 13mm armour pieceing explosive rounds, pure macedonium silver with mercury tips. They need to be blessed as well. And the last one is pure melted silver rounds used in the swords of Paladins blessed by the pope. Purely armour piecing, no explosive." Walter smiled.
"Those guns are good, who made them?" Seras grinned underneath her shades and hat.
"You should know." Walter waited for her to say more, but she didn't. But Walter was slightly worried,
"It might take a while, those materials are hard to come by, although we did pick up some of the swords that the paladin was using against you. So expect your new ammo for your demon soon. But the others will take longer, at least to make a sufficient number of clips." Walter trailed off thinking about his new task.
"I look forward to it.
Arthur was still in a coma in the local hospital, Alucard knew this. He could sense him there. Just as he could sense Elena and Seras back at the mansion. He loathed that mansion, it was a prison to him, nothing more. And one of the inmates was one of his own. Arthur as he was in a coma was not currently using his body, so Alucard sent his mind directly to him! Alucard twitched Arthur's body, good it responded. Alucard sat up out of bed, he looked around, no one. Good, this would be easy. He stepped out of Arthur's bed and moved Arthur's sleepy limps into action. He was dressed only in a hospital gown; he would have to find some clothes.
'I don't like this…' Elena thought. There was always a constant alert, the coastal cities on full alert all the time, in fact all the civilians were moved from the west coast a long time ago, and only soldiers stayed. But it was too quiet, more like a calm before a storm. Nothing was happening, no sightings no attacks. Nothing. As if someone was actually organizing them, like stopping a wild fire to tame it and improve. But Elena shook her head. That was nonsense they were scum. Scum to be cleaned away. Elena started on her still large as ever pile of paperwork.
Alucard knew the way back to the mansion, but walking on foot back was new to him. It was different, slow and cumbersome. The people walking by paid no attention to him, and they were all on eye level. It was a new height to him as he always used to be above the crowd. But Alucard ignored these feelings and concentrated on his destination. He tried to blend in by wearing a grey hooded top with black combats and worn trainers. He had stolen them from a nearby house, the occupant asleep at the time. The dark shadowed streets were so familiar, he turned the next street and there was the Hellsing mansion. He scowled at the hell pit, a new Hellsing was head. This Elena…she was so similar to Integra, that made him loathe her even more. The rain began to pelt down round him, good, it would be hard to notice a poor lad n the rain….
Alucard stood near the railings, this was a new challenge for him. Human bodies were so useless. He couldn't pass through them, or even jump over them. Alucard frowned at his predicament, but then rose the shadows up from the floor. Making sure the guards weren't around he walked up them and jumped inside the compound. The steps disappeared. He needed to keep away from the Hellsing guards; he didn't want to be found yet.
Seras jumped up from her seat, her packet still rested on the table. Unopened. But something caused her to jump…something made her shiver. But with what? Fear or anticipation? But it didn't feel right. Leaving her packet where she left it she had to go and find out what this familiar presence was. A thought immediately shot to her mind. Alucard, but that was impossible, he wouldn't come back now would he?
Alucard inwardly cursed as that familiar figure appeared at the front doors from the shadows. It was his old fledgling…she wore something that made him smile. She wore a black trench coat with that same old familiar hat, but this one was black to match her coat and she also wore sunglasses. He chuckled to himself, but he didn't let it distract him. She looked around as if she sensed something, Alucard though he had masked his presence enough, but she was a lot more powerful now, it may have not been enough. But he was limited in this human body. So he had to trick her. He made a slight shadow appear over the other side of the compound, it was a stringer signal then him. Bt the shadow itself was nothing, it was useless. But it did it's job and distracted Seras. She tore off after the shadow. The soldiers were few and far in-between, so Alucard had no trouble entering the mansion. The hood shadowing his eyes, inside the mansion he looked around. No one was around!
'This is too easy. Integra would never have allowed this.' Alucard thought. He dove to the stairs as he heard footsteps from the left hall. He climbed the steps 2 at a time and soon reached the top, he ducked as a servant walked past. Unaware of an intruder.
Seras tried to pinpoint the location of the presence; it was too faint to tell. But then she found it! Coming from behind the mansion! She tore after it, running into the shadows and reappearing behind the mansion. In the gardens.
Alucard stopped just before Integra's office. A room just before hers. Inside was a man, he looked very familiar and seemed to be making something. It was Walter's old room for his craft. Alucard watched intrigued, the man was using melted down metal and processing them. Alucard didn't know what he was doing, but he knew he was making ammo. But then he found out who the man was. He was Walter's great grandson! That interested him. But he moved on to the office. Alucard raised his hand and to knock on the door.
"Who are you?" A voice said next to him. It was Walter's great grandson. Alucard turned to him. "I said who are you and how did you get in here?" He repeated. Alucard smiled and walked slightly towards him.
"Don't take another step!" Alucard flinched. He had tried to stay away from her. But Seras was right behind him.
'This isn't good, I have to get away…' Alucard thought, he would have to try again later.
Seras was intrigued and a little worried how this man had gotten all the way here without being detected. But she stood just behind him, backing Walter up. The man glanced at her, as if looking for a way out. He ran and barged straight into Walter, lifting him straight up into the air! He was thrown with unnatural strength straight out the far window!Seras widened her eyes in shock, how could he do that. But Seras couldn't go after him, Walter would die is she didn't catch him! Feeling a near friendship from him she dove for him! He crashed into the window, the glass immediantly shattering and Walter began to fall from the 3rd fall window. Seras reached out and caught his leg, he dangled over the side. Shaking a bit in shock, but he would be fine and she began to pull him up.
"Are you alright, Walter?" Seras asked.
"….f-fine. Where did he go?" Walter asked as he was set back down on the floor. Seras turned back to where the man was. He was gone and she could no longer sense him. He was long gone. Seras shook her head,
"There's glass all in your leg," Walter's blood began flowing from his leg. Walter glanced at his leg, but seemed to shy away from her. "Don't worry, I've drank today." As if it would relax him. It didn't, but she lifted him up onto her back. When Elena barged out of her office.
"What's going on here?" She shouted. Seras didn't respond, but shifted Walter so his leg was supported. "Walter? Are you alright?"
Elena couldn't believe this! An attack just outside her office! And Walter was badly hurt, his blood dripping onto the floor. The glass must have ripped his leg. The blood seeped onto Seras' coat, but then the phone rang in her office.
"Damn.." Elena ran in, she wished she could leave it, but it may have been important. She reached over her desk and picked up the phone. "Hello?"
"Hello? Miss Hellsing?" Came a woman's voice.
"Yes." She responded.
"I'm afraid I have good and bad news. Your brother is awake from his coma, but he is missing." Elena nearly dropped the phone.
"How….?"
"Patients who wake up are sometimes confused and try to get out. We are afraid that he managed to slip by security and the staff. He may be roaming the street by now."
"Ok, thank you."
"We will try to find him, if there is any more news you will be the first to know." Then she was gone. Elena placed the phone down.
"Incompetents! The idiots! The lot of them! I'm surrounded by stupid idiots who can't do their jobs!" Elena shouted. Before letting herself fall into her chair. Rubbing her temples she took out a cigar and lit it. Trying to calm her frayed nerves.
"Ha, that went quite well…" Alucard spoke in his dark throne room. His walked coolly over to his throne; he sat himself down enjoying the sight before him. Arthur was bound and chained to the floor. He lay awake but gagged. His eyes searched petrified. "I have waited a long time to see a Hellsing like this in front of me…" Alucard sighed. "Still you are not as worthy as your sister, she interests me…" He said as if he was having a normal conversation. Arthur mumbled something, but couldn't make anything out. His eyes changed to fierceness for just a second, before he lost his nerve and looked away. Alucard got up from where he was sitting; his red trench coat covered him, his long black hair swaying at his back. He crouched in front of Arthur. "I want what is mine!"
((AN: Oooooo….getting good. But I'd like to say thanks to all my reviewers once again! Thanks!
Oh and by the way, to those people who think that Alucard is spelt Arucard. It's not; if you've read the manga you'll see. He's called Alucard in that. And the anime is based on the manga….
And, when is the OVA out? Dying to see that…. When's it out in England?))
