--Present Day--
"On June 12, this priest was assigned to a small church in the town of Cheddar." Integra's eyes hardened seeing the crimson eyes glitter in the moonlight and the blood seeping from his lips. "One month later, the first wave of missing person's reports began flooding in." Integra looked down to the picture of the priest. He seemed normal -- he seemed human. She eyed that maniacal smile on the screen and sighed. "The local police conducted the investigation, but the day before yesterday they were sent to the church to apprehend the suspect… All of them were reported killed. It was then when the authority ordered D-11 into action."
"Humph." Integra gave a small sigh. She looked over towards the soldier who was now talking to her. "Uh… Yesterday," his accent was clear. "D-11 sent one unit of their elite troops. There were a few casualties, but it seems as if our men were killed by the men reported killed the day before." Integra looked into his eyes; she could see the worry, she could see the suffering. "They're not human, anymore." She said plainly. Her eyes became cold as ice.
"What!" Both men said in unison, obviously not going to believe any one thing she said.
"These people have had their blood drained to feed the vampire. They've become cannibalistic ghouls, whom of which cannot think for themselves but are controlled by the Master vampire."
She looked over. "You have taken the lecture, do not be ignorant.
"What are you talking about? I didn't know they weren't human anymore."
Integra sighed, letting her soft blonde hair fall into her face. "Lt. It's not my responsibility, nor my intention to dwell on your mistakes."
"What are you implying?" He asked, narrowing his eyes taking this as a slight insult.
"You are a LT. of the London Police Authority," she looked down into the caramel color of the tea in front of her and took a sip from it slowly. She set it down with a small smile. "That would lead one to assume that you'd possess the knowledge and possess the intelligence to accurately and sufficiently assess the current situation in Cheddar. And that you would know the correct response as well…" Her smile widened. "But somehow," she sighed. "You've forgot that there is only one way to resolve these kinds of problems." She stood, turned and started walking away.
"I imagine you were quite prepared for these sorts of consequences," she opened the golden shades slightly, letting the sun pierce her eyes with light.
He stuttered over his own tongue. "But, um… err… But, it wasn't like that!" He said. "I didn't forget about the proper--…"
"It's getting dark," Integra interrupted with a bright smile on her cheeks.
He sighed. "Sir Integra Hellsing--"
"My organization has already sent assistance to Cheddar Village," she smiled and closed her eyes.
"How many agents?"
She turned around slowly, a smirk crawling up the paleness of her cheeks. "One." She said.
Oni walked through the forest in cheddar village his clear blue piercing eyes saw everything, the ghouls and the vampire, the men that had died, he had just arrived, and already too many had died. He frowned; there was one here that was far too young for this. He finally reached the first group and slashed through them with ease his motions and movements through them fluent as the light shone off the blade. He would have to take care of the d11 members that were already turning into ghouls or the girl would certainly join them.
Seras rushed from the van with medical supplies, her heart beating so fast. She kneeled in front of her fallen comrade, seeing the sweat pouring down the side of his face. "Seras…" He whispered, moving his injured arm slightly. One of those things had bit him.
"Try not to move, Jack. You'll be alright." She gave a comforting smile, but she didn't know if it would be herself. She looked around for a moment, making sure none of those things were around. "Reinforcements will be here soon." She said, cleaning the wound best she could.
"I wasn't ready for this…" She said to herself. She looked up to see him close his eyes, the breath escaping his lips. "I can't… It's- it's too much." She closed her eyes, trying her best not to cry. "I'm trying to be strong; I don't want to have the name kitten for the rest of my life." She watched him closely, feeling the cold and clamminess of his skin. "I'm sorry…" She said, knowing that he was already dead and there was nothing she could do. She had failed. "I'm sorry."
She opened he eyes to see Jack's teeth ready to chew through her. She gasped and backed away, her eyes wide. He grabbed her and pulled her forward. "JACK!" She screamed, forcing him away from her as she threw herself up and pointed the gun towards him. "Don't make me do this. Please?" She looked into his eyes, which were nothing but black -- like he wasn't there anymore.
He came at her and she hit him across the face, turning around and running towards the van. She paused, seeing the rest of them looking the same way and walking towards her with hunger rushing through them.
"Don't you recognize me? It's me… Kitten." Eugene rushed towards her and she shot him, the bullet flying straight through his shoulder but it didn't stop him, not at all. They just kept on coming. "Oh My God." She said, turning and running as fast as she could away from them.
Oni finally reached the group of 3 and slashed through them in the same manner, he followed her and saw another as it staggered forwards his blade flicked twice and the ghoul ashed away, he looked to the girl, "I'm sorry, there ghouls, mindless automatons, disposing of them is mercy." He looked into her eyes, wondering what she would do next.
Seras gasped and pulled up her gun, pointing it towards him. She looked into his crimson eyes. "..You're not… human." She backed away, her finger quivering to pull the trigger but she knew she was empty. She backed away and turned around starting to run again. Reinforcements were coming, she knew they were. This really wasn't she expected when she joined D-11. She had ran pretty far until she finally came to a graveyard. She looked to her left, seeing the lights of the church flicker. She stepped forward and took a deep breath. She took another step forward and walked towards the front door. She opened it slowly and watched as the light fell into the darkness, lighting up some of the pews and the isle. She pulled up her gun, just in case.
Seras stepped forward hesitantly and raised her now loaded gun, "Good evening… Father." He looked over to her slightly, "and a very good evening to you young lady so fresh so full of life so frightened by the evil creatures that walk the night, you poor thing," Seras looked on, "are you really a priest?"" He turned head bowed and said, "I am merely a guide to the weak of heart." Seras voice got weaker slightly as she said, "well… I'm on a mission and were supposed to deal with the priest who..." Her words faltered as she realized her statement. "But you're not like the others." The priest walked forward a fanged smile shone brightly, "you're speaking of the ghouls that you saw outside?" Seras was stunned, "ghouls?" The priest laughed slightly, "yes the undead servants of the master vampire, you see when a vampire drinks a humans blood the corpse will move under the vampire's control." "Vampire?" Seras echoed again. "Of course, "the priest continued, "vampires can't turn every human they meet into one of their own, for example." Seras's vision blurred as the priest extended his hand, she found herself being drawn into his embrace. "Let go." was all she could manage in a weak voice, "changing you into a ghoul would be such a waste, the blood that courses through your body are warmer and sweeter than you can possibly imagine." he laughed as Seras said, "let me go or ill blow your brains out and then everyone will know." the vampire continued on as if nothing had happened, "I know your feeling pain but I will give you pleasure, and it will last forever."
just then the door burst into small chunks and fell to the floor, Oni walked through the now open doorway, "Urasai, bakimono!" he grabbed the hilt of his sword but saw he had the woman in his grasp the vampire stuttered, "who the hell are you?" Oni shook his head, how pathetic you disgust me you in those priest clothes, and using the girl as a shield, how truly pathetic, don't bother revealing your morons in the pews either, you'll be dead soon enough." The vampire snapped as the ghouls rose up and opened fire at him, the bullets richeted of him creating sparks along his body as they did so. He opened his eyes and a wave of black energy washed the ghouls into dust.
Seras's eyes widened as she saw them open fire. She closed her eyes for a moment, scared of what would happen. She opened them slowly, hearing silence for a moment. She saw that man was there, nothing wrong with him at all and the things that were firing at him were nothing but dust. She looked up to the vampire holding her and back to the other man. How did he do that? Her eyes could show the complete and utter fear her body was reeked in. What would happen?
Oni scowled at the vampire, "release the girl, and I will give you an honorable death a quick death, do not and I swear you will die painfully and slowly!" The vampire couldn't believe what he had just seen he held the girl closer, "you won't kill me you'd have to go through her and I doubt your human masters would allow it! But come with me were alike were both vampires, or even just let me escape!" Oni looked to him his eyes changing to a dull gold again, "You and I alike? Don't insult me you are like that cockroach to me! Both in standing and skill! Now let her go!" The vampire couldn't believe it. and held her closer, Oni wondered what he should do, a thrust attack would have him dead but ... it would kill the girl, the batojutsu even his black aura, he was in the perfect pose to move her so he knew there was only one thing he could do, "Seras Victoria, I know you don't want to die tonight, and I will do my best to take this bastard down without harming you but if something should happen... do you want to come with me?" He looked into her eyes his gold now changing to blue, "it is your choice, I can't make it for you."
Her eyes widened; she could barely breathe with the vampire holding her up from her feet. She looked into his eyes as they turned to a bright blue. What… was he? He was like this vampire? He was a vampire? She closed her eyes and took a short breath. "Yes…" She said without any further hesitation. "Yes!" She said again.
his eyes flashed and in a moment he was moving faster than any other thing in this world or any other, each time he made a footstep it was as if a small crater was created, he leapt up and the craters appeared on the ceiling floor and all walls, the priest swung around trying to track him, "its not possible even for a vampire ITS NOT POSSIBLE!" Oni saw his move and the opening attack from the front target is the back! As he launched from the back wall he swung his sword "Tetsatsu!" when he hit a incredible shockwave blew out from their position destroying most of the church, what he saw afterwards both pleased and horrified him, the priest screamed as he went flying hit the one remaining standing board and ashed away but Seras, he had pulled around at the last second and, it was fatal.
Seras fell to the ground blood dripping from her mouth and the wound on her chest. She landed on her side. She knew right when she saw the blade that she was going to die, no matter if it was purposeful or not. She couldn't move, she could barely breathe but she could hear her heartbeat. She looked up to see the cross that led her eyes to the ceiling. She saw that man, seeing the blood-ridden blade as well and the ash that fell around her. That vampire was dead, and she was about to become one. She didn't know if she'd like it or not, but she didn't have a choice now, did she? She blinked and gave a small but painful smile.
Oni whipped his blade out and sheathed it quickly, he knelt beside her he could hear her thoughts, "iie not like him, not even close, I am sorry, that I am, are you sure you want this?" He saw her nod slightly, he nodded in return, and bent down, you should close your eyes now that you should." He watched as they stayed open and engrained their perfect blue onto his mind "I see." He knelt down and did what had to be done.
