------------------------------------
Maxwell... becoming the true undead of all undead... No... that will not happen, I will not let it happen!
Seras's fearful sapphire eyes snapped over as did Maxwell's own murky eyes falling onto Haku's form. He stood there as stiff as a statue with a stern look upon his emotionless face, yet sparks of violent red light flew all around the metal collar embedded upon his neck. Trickles of blood began to slip from the bottom edge of the collar and down the man's pale chest as within his single exposed icy blue eye, the shimmer of a soul was beginning to reappear. Curling his fingers ever so slowly together, a few bones groaning, popped loudly as the vampire's body began to tense up like a cat ready to pounce as his eye lid slipped over his eye.
Maxwell seeing this, smirked as he standing there hunched over, tightened his shoulders as he looked at his vampire king puppet. "Go ahead and fight, you'll never-" Seras's eyes grew wide as did Maxwell's when Haku's right hand snapped up to the collar like a striking serpent. Seras's body became rigid as he turning his still shut gaze onto her own, the vampire's clawed fingers began to tighten heavily upon the black metals imprisonment upon his neck, making more sparks violently flare all around with the metal groaning under the strength of this undead.
Maxwell giving a mangled growl, gripped his staff hard with his knobby skeletal hands as his murky eyes were livid. "How dare you defy me! Servant, I command you to stop this-"
Seras gave a strangled cry as with violent flares of miniature lightening bolts, with the metal giving and shattering under his clawed hold. As the needles embedded in his neck were pulled from the inflamed flesh, blood sloshed heavily out as slivers of flesh were pulled and broken from the violent tug of the collar being removed from around his neck. In a sudden fluid motion, phasing from his current position to right before Maxwell, former 'master' with fearful eyes, peered up into the looming shadow of his one time servant as within his left clawed hand, hung the oil and blood dripping collar that still gave off a few sparks of red light. With no sounds emitted from his throat, and eyes still thoroughly shut... Haku rose his right hand and flared his claws.
Maxwell gave a mangled wail as with the rough pale hand slipping over the decaying man's neck just below the needles. A low chuckle rumbled from Haku's throat as with a few tendrils of his black blonde bleached hair falling over his face, he rise his left hand that clutched the collar, right above the gaping Maxwell. "how... did you... get fr-"
Maxwell's voice became mangled as Haku slammed his left hand forward with the collar aimed right for the man's face like a mutated steak. Seras with a small cry, tore her eyes from the sight as Haku smashed the collar with jagged end forward, right into Maxwell's throat and began to twist it with his left wrist. With blood be it both Maxwell's and Seras's, needles tore from the man's neck as Haku continuing to twist the collar, rising his right arm, lifted the skeletal man out of the waters making water heavily drip from Maxwell's trembling body. All around the twelve needles crashed into the waters below as more water mixed with blood spilled into the waters beneath Maxwell's knobby feet that hung two feet from the water.
With the sound of his voice giving choking wails, Haku gave a small cruel laugh with eyes still shut and his neck lathered in blood but fully mended. With his knuckles going white upon his right hand. Maxwell began to struggle as best he could in a near old man's state. Seras flinched as she heard the neck bones grind and shatter loudly within the catacombs cloaked in darkness. Sensing his body cease its mindless struggles, Haku merely uncurled his blood soaked hand from Maxwell's crushed neck letting the man's body splashed hard into the waters and bob up and down as he floated away face first in the waters.
Seras weakly looking from the very spot of where the crumpled man had fallen and drifted by. The young shaken queen looked back to the pale face and closed eye of Haku as he having at some point while she was not looking, went back to his original position a few feet from her body and still bore his shut eye, yet... making the chains groan, Seras stumbled back as best she could to what she saw. No longer baring a neutral stern expression, the vampire king with his eye still shut in such a relaxed manner, bore a very cruel and crooked grin upon his pale soft lips causing his fangs to stick out ever so slight with a malicious stance.
"Sorry... but last time I checked, I do not take orders... from a half rotted zombie."
With his eyelid shifting, Seras went livid and very rigid as the icy blue eye snapped open and shined. No longer a puppet, his eye glimmered with that of a free soul, of a free undead.
Locking gazes, the man standing tall, flexed his hands that hung on his sides making a few more bones to groan. "So..." rising his left hand, Haku folding in his clawed fingers, lazily examined his claws to check of any dirt or old blood stuck underneath his claws as his smile grew more into a sarcastic sneer. "... you're the infamous Seras Victoria, the chosen queen of Lord Dracula, the first of all undead... can't say I'm impressed..." with his eye snapping onto her own, with a flash and swing of claws. Seras crying out felt the chains shatter inches from her wrists and with her feet making slippery contact to the floor beneath the murky waters, her legs buckled. Falling down hard right for her knees, the young woman wailed as she felt the needles rip from her arms like hot metal rods. With the sweet release of fresh warm blood from her gored arms, Seras curling them over her chest, kneeled there in the waters and shivered from both the fear and waters cold touch upon her skin beneath her clothing.
Hakuyaoshi eyeing her, chuckled softly as he snapping his eye around, narrowed the single eye as the grin didn't leave his lips. "Best get over your petty fear, I injured that ass hole but didn't kill him, and do not forget his servants of mutated creatures of darkness." The man sneered as he leaning his head to the left, gave a resounding crack. Seras shivering, understood all to well, this man spoke true, but... could she trust him after what had happened in what seemed, not so long ago... "it's best you do now, or at least until your king gets here, now get up... Rise Queen of Dracula and face these monsters as the true undead that you are!"
Water flew all around as with a violent roar, a giant monster that the size of a car leapt right for them. Hakuyaoshi kicking up his own feet lashed out. With a thunderous wave of the murky waters rising all around, Seras fell hard to the side and struggling to her feet, the queen saw the sight, and just froze.
With his right lower arm clamped tightly in what seemed a giant feline like jaws to a body of a giant cat with wings and hawk claws. A icy eye blazed on Haku as a single set of blinding yellow eyes bore from the monster's head. Yet... Haku... Seras realized as she weakly took a few more steps back... he was smiling!
With a violent thrust of his left arm, the feline dodging the fatal strike, roared savagely as it fall back a good ten feet with blood lathered jaws of metallic teeth, hissed viciously. Haku standing there though in such a relaxed state, merely shook the blood and saliva from his right arm, his icy blue eye dancing with blood lusting pleasure making the giant feline servant to fall back and continue to snarl.
Haku began a slow deliberate walk right for the feline, a wicked smile upon his lips baring his fangs, "you know... there was a saying about felines... that they are suppose to land on their feet when dropped from great heights..." drawing to a stop, the vampire stared at the feline who continued falling back, allowing the cold waters to slosh up on its lower limbs. "lets test the theory, shall we!" arms held out on either side, Haku raced right for the feline at immeasurable speeds. Seras, with wide fearful eyes, stumbled back hard as the feline who getting savagely grabbed by Haku's claws was thrown straight up into the air, with violent waves of water splashing all around like a demon itself beckoned from Haku's savage thrust.
Haku with his loose cream white shirt blowing gently in the breeze from such a sudden throw, stood there as his left arm was held right above his head, a few trickles of blood slithered down his hand onto his exposed wrist. Turning gracefully around, Haku's demonic eyes locked with Seras's fearful sapphire, his crooked grin still planted upon his face, "three... two..." bringing his arm out, the screaming feline screeched as his body right before it struck the ground was plucked from the air by Hakuyaoshi's claws. With a dark snarl, Haku slowly brought the giant servant feline's face to meet eye to eye, monster to monster, "I don't care if this world is ruled by light or darkness, I don't care of the undead or my supposed place as a undead royal, or of any other races for that bloody matter, but don't FUCK with me, got it!" Haku hissed the words into the giant feline's ears and with a savage yell, the vampire swinging his body violently. Water flew all around as with the mangled groans of a dying bellow and grinding of bones shattering all over in the monster's body.
The beast having taken the downward thrust from head down... soon the form laid there, limp and no longer baring any life as Haku stood there beside the servant's fallen form as all around the creature's body, thick red plumes of blood seeped into the water as its wonderful stench filled the air. Haku laughing turned sharply around facing the young queen who was very pale and terrified, with a mere shrug his crooked grin remained there and grew, "I guess he tested the theory of landing on feet is a improper judgment call... felines get way to much credit then what their worth." He sneered as he drew closer right for Seras who stumbling on very weak legs, fell back hard.
Haku seeing this, chuckled as he still slowly heading for her, sneered. "I don't see what that king of us all sees in you, so far all I've seen in a mere cowering human who just has a simple immortal link... I highly doubt you even deserve to see the elixir of pure immortal life."
Not a single word was spoken as the gunshot roared from right behind Seras. Haku taken back from the sudden attack... blood flew all around as the man's head being thrown back hard, his body followed suit and crashed hard into the chilly waters.
Seras was just locked in place as the only thing she was capable of doing was shivering in place. "What did he do?" Seras jumping with a loud cry, looked hard to her left yet... her eyes became half shut as relief bled over her traumatized heart and soul as she saw who stood beside her. She smelled him, saw the silver smoking gun in his hand... red eyes blazing violently. "Al..." stumbling hard, the fatigue fell over her heavily like a lead blanket. With her legs giving out, Seras with glazing eyes, reached weakly with a trembling hand for her king and as she fell... everything faded to black.
-----------------------------
Upon catching her form that had fallen under the spell of slumber. Alucard's livid red eyes shot over to Haku's form as the man groaning, sat there in the waters rubbing his head from the dull ache as the wound having been blasted into his skull was fully mended leaving only a few remaining trickles of blood upon his face. Giving a small chuckle, Haku's icy eye flew up meeting Alucard's red and the vampire king smirked to the fir st of them all. "I take it you're Dracula... forgive m rude behavior, but I have no intention of giving you respect." With a loud grunt while speaking, Haku in a slow manner, rose to his feet and gaining proper footing, drew his eyes onto Seras's form as she slept within Alucard's broad arms that were cloaked in a red coat. Hearing his voice, Haku blinking, looked slowly up at Alucard with a lazy glance. "beg pardon?" grumbled the young man.
Alucard's left eyebrow twitched ever so slight as he stared at this man. A demon and human soul combined he may be, but he was Donovan's brother, thus... an American true to the very core. None the less though... "The elixir." The cold words slipped frm Alucard's lips like a soft breeze through dried up leaves. Haku watching this vampire, smiled slightly. "So she was a undead at one point... do tell, how did she go human... a self sacrifice perhaps?" the man chuckled as he drawing his stare onto his left wrist, began to scratch on the understand at some unseen target.
"just tell me the location and then get out of my sight." Alucard sneered as he shifting his arms, brought Seras's folded legs over his right arm as his other cloaked her back letting her soft mat of blond hair and tender face to rest upon his left shoulder.
"Patience dear 'Dracula'..." with a fluid motion into his pants pocket, the vampire withdrawing a small glass bottle of dark blue glass, removed the cork with his fanged teeth and brought the bottle's opening to his bleeding wrist he had slashed open with his claws. As the bottle filled, his single eye watched it fill as he gave a small sigh while his other hand removed the cork from his lips. "Take this blood and feed it to her from your own bite wound mixed with your own blood... she must be close to deaths gate before you transfer this blood or she will instantly perish... understand?" as the bottle was filled, the wound fully mended as the vampire corked the bottle and lazily held it out to Alucard who staring at it, traded a unwavering stare onto Haku who smirked slightly.
"You wanted this right? The elixir is my blood, by molding a human soul with a demon, it changed my blood, I am the key to making any and all true undead, but there's a trick, a safety to this blood... you cannot change yourself, you need your master to once more bite and drain you and then place that blood in you... if you do it on your own.. well..." with his lips curling into a very cruel grin, Haku rising his shoulders, let them fall in a leisure shrug. "... lets just say, something very bad will happen, but seeing that is all you wanted, I am off." With a fast toss letting the bottle fly right into Alucard's lightening fast left hand, turning his back slowly to the king and his sleeping queen, Haku stopping, gave a small chuckle. "one more thing Dracula, be ready for her... it is normally very unwise to change someone into a true undead during blood moon, but hey, that's just my opinion... who knows, you just might enjoy having a very horny sadistic queen." With that spoken and a faint wave of his right hand. Haku faded from sight as Alucard...
peering around the trickling and chain lathered catacombs, a slow curl of his lip grew. So this was where Maxwell had been hiding out, it reeked of the man all around, yet it was clear to how clean the air felt now. Maxwell and any servants he had remaining were gone, into another rat hole until next time. Tendrils of black light began to rip all over his body with his red eyes livid as a loathing rage grew deep within his gaze. This may have been used in the past, but he would not allow it to be used in the future! With his magic silently beckoned forth, walls began to grind and crack as large chunks of cement fell from the ceiling above and crashing into the waters below. As the catacombs began to fully cave in, shadows encasing both their commanding master and his queen... fading from the spot, they were gone as a huge slab of concrete carrying the chains Seras had been bound to, crashed down hard and crumbled in the waters where they had once stood.
-----------------------------
Within a dark hotel room carrying not a single light on and a coffin laying to the far left of the single bed, shadows began to encase the entire room making a dark presence fill the building and making many guests within very edgy. With shadows slinking to the other bedside, they rising up, began to reform as blood red eyes bore down upon the sleeping battered form of a young petite woman with blond hair slightly tickling her face as her chest slowly rose and feel from silent breaths. "Seras..." his dark voice slithered out and with a silent motion with his red coat lathering his tall body, the king of all undead made his way to the very resting place he had called his for many centuries.
As if a silent command was spoken, the coffin lid with a small creak, pulled open exposing the dark blood red interior as Alucard gracefully folding his legs, kneeled over the coffin as he rested his long, his queen and very craving inside and kneeling there upon his left knee; he watched her sleep. With a neutral expression, his red eyes shined upon his one time fledgling's face. A small smirk rose on his lips as the man with a small toss of his right hand, uncurled his fingers to expose a dark blue glass bottle filled with the very thing to bring her back to a true undead. "such a simple location, but so hard to find, a clever move by the very sire of Hellsing." The king sneered as he slinking his left arm in and around Seras's limp shoulders, lifted her upper body up as his right... with a single flash of his own powers, the cork melting into nothing but a few flittering flecks of ash.
Alucard's lips pulled from his sharp ivory teeth as his wicked red eyes danced upon her sleeping face. "Sleep as a human dear Seras, but rise as a true undead..." leaving his face closer to have no more then a single inch from between their faces, the man chuckled deeply with a few tendrils of raven black hair slipping onto her face. "rise... once more... as my queen... Seras Victoria." Upon speaking his dark words, Alucard eyeing the soft pale neck of the young woman who slept so peacefully in his arms, the smirk grew. Parting his jaws, in a fluid cat like fashion, Alucard lunged for her soft unprotected flesh as one goal rested within his cruel sadistic mind...
---------------------
Seras slowly was pulled from the dream realm as she heard the muffled chatter of a television set not to far off. As her senses grew more aware, the young woman drawing in a few breaths took in the surrounding scent as she felt herself in a compressed location... Alucard's very scent bled from the air as Seras giving a slow sigh, laid there with her eyes still shut. Her fingers slipping by her head, ran through the soft material within the coffin her one time master had used for so many years... or at least as long as she had known him.
Upon laying there though, with a small groan, Seras took into note the condition of her small form. Pain dully throbbed upon her neck, yet oddly, that was the only place it did hurt... everywhere else she felt fine if not fully mended. Rising her left hand timidly, Seras rubbed her sore neck as she turning her head ever so slight to the left with eyes still shut, began to listen in on what the television was speaking of. But... as soon as she heard the news reports the box was sending, the young woman seemed to go rigid with fear.
"-don seems to be ablaze. Three nights ago after the ancient catacombs in Portsmouth caved in, creatures of some unknown origin have suddenly exposed themselves in London and are currently avoiding Dracula's castle, but attacking his servants when they fly out of the castle's boundaries, and setting flame to the nearby buildings around the castle. Why this is happening is still very much unknown... in further news-"
Seras had heard enough and turned hard to right and buried her face in the coffin's plush bedding. Creatures of some unknown origin... the young queen's eyes snapped open violently and bore into the dark enclosed coffin with a rage to kill. "Maxwell..." her soft lips spoke as she sighing, rose her hand to rub her eyes, but stopped. "Wha-" Seras flexing her fingers, it wasn't her hand that got her to stop her previous mission. It was her eyesight, she saw her hand clearly as if it were day itself... an eyesight she had near forgotten of possessing so long ago. Snapping her hand down to the plush interior to help prop herself up, Seras ran her tongue vigorously within her mouth. Falling upon her canines... the young woman couldn't bite back to sudden cry of be it joy or fear, yet in any case, with her falling onto her back and a smirk on her face, she rose her hands above her right for the coffin's black lid.
As the lid pull away with a semi loud creak, Seras fluidly sitting up, blinked, and peered around. The entire hotel room was small and dark, but... to Seras's blood red eyes, the room was as bright as day to her. Glancing around, the petite woman slipped from the coffin's warm embrace as she timidly looked everywhere. Where... was Alucard? Finding herself in the very small bathroom, Seras just stood there with a gentle smile on her soft lips as she looked at her reflection in the wall mirror. Red eyes, the fangs... the very feel of a old time curl of black powers that rested within her. Seras knew all to well this feel... she was once more part of the undead... but one thing she also took notice and wasn't to fond of. She was back to square one as she carried the powers of that to a fledgling. She had once more lost her familiar and her powers were confined in the state of a dark coil inside then her entire body being consumed by her new found 'gift'.
None the less... turning her back to the mirror, Seras running her hands through her blond hair, eyed the shower with her red eyes. That did indeed sound good and within a few seconds of agreeing to her small wishes, Seras slipping out of her black clothing, coats and boots that rested all flopped over the shut toilet bowl. Hot water began to spray within the showers domain and Seras slipping her small pale form in, gave into a deep sigh of pleasure as the hot waters slid all over her body washing away the dirt, grit and old blood taking the bad memories away as well. Resting her right hand so peacefully upon the smooth dark tiles, Seras hanging her head, allowed the waters to pound at the back of her sore neck. A bite wound, she knew all to well as to what the dull pain was now and it wasn't just any bite... it was of Alucard's own fangs. He some how found a way to... her eyes flew open as she continued to hang her head, the elixir! But how did he-
The dark presence filled Seras's mind and heart as the dark laughter echoed softly all around the small bathroom. "Simple..." Seras give a small cry as her body shivered from two very warm rough hands slipping upon her small waist as the young queen felt his very being right behind her. "Alucard... how-" Seras gave a small cry as with his grip tightening onto her pale soft sides, suddenly pulled her back hard with her bare wet back colliding into his warm broad chest that was also... Seras eyes going wide as her sense of touch from her back told her... he still had his pants on, but that was all that he wore.
Her thoughts were shattered as his pale broad arms encasing her entire form cloaking her pale breasts. The man's sadistic lips caressed the far left side of Seras's pale neck as it still held a small red inflamed touch from the previous assault his fangs had done to her neck. "oh why so afraid... or are you afraid of losing control of your..." Seras shivered as Alucard's fangs softly nipped at her neck right beneath the left side of her chin. "... 'cravings' Dear Seras?" Alucard's very dark words slithered out sending chills down his queen's pale wet form as she closing her eyes, gripped her hands tightly into fists. "Please.. stop..." she whispered weakly.
"Why? Do you not enjoy the feeling, the cravings?" the dark man chuckled cruelly as his fangs began to once more caress her neck.
He was right though. Seras struggling hard, gritted her teeth roughly as she fought it that came from deep inside her very being and soul. Neither one taking any heed to the hot waters that continued to pound their forms, Seras began to clench and unclench her fists. Already she knew as well as her king, this was a fight her now dying human side was going to lose. Alucard suddenly lunged in for the final kill of that humanity that binded Seras's mind.
Seras froze as she felt his fangs bite down hard upon her neck, feeling her skin give and allow the fangs to slip inside like a blade to a inflamed sheath of flesh. Clamping his moist burning hot lips onto her flesh, Alucard's red blazing eyes sliding shut, tightening his arms around her body as he looming over her small form, began to draw the sweet blood into his mouth. Shuddering hard, Seras giving a loud cry, crashed her body back hard into Alucard's chest. The cravings no longer being fed to her from him, Seras had her own to suddenly deal with as it crashed over the walls she had tempted to construct. "A... Alucard!" Seras's voice wailed loudly throughout the bathroom and hotel room as tendrils of blood sloshed down her front and back from his sadistic painful embrace onto her neck. Yet... as they stood there, Seras giving in to what the Blood Moon's touch gave and allowing Alucard to have his way with her form with very little struggle.
---------------------------
It was noted far from where in London a black castle stood... the queen of Alucard had come back to a true undead state, and with both royals now being whole. At the entrance of the castle's domain where the savage and massive upper skull by the pathway rested. Once empty sockets, suddenly blazed a violent red as tendrils of violent red light whipped all around the skull, teeth, and ribs that went down the pathway as all the servants returned to the castle dragging their injured or mangled to allow them to heal from the castle's presence. Yuki slowly slinking to a stop by the dog statue as its own red eyes blazed, the two watched with no pity to the attackers as they saw the far off skull blaze making a few of the nearby mutated monsters to bellow and fall back with uneasiness.
There were four guardians to this castle, Yuki was the guardian for the inside. The dog was the guardian for the boundaries, Inferno was the guardian of the sky, and the fourth... the ground savagely tore open as skull held up by some unseen force with the bottom jaw rising from the ground letting both dirt and rocks to crash down, rejoined the skull as a savage demonic scream roared violently all around causing the few nearby attackers to scream as the very flesh was skinned from their bodies and followed soon with huge banners of blood and organs and blazing dusts storms of their bones leaving nothing where they had once stood. The fourth guardian was that of the very lands the king of this castle ruled, and whoever dared to intrude on this land with the want to harm the king or anything that belonged to him. The guardian would rise and destroy... Yuki narrowing his eyes, gave a small sigh as she ruffled his wings ever so slight. "It seems the guardian Apocalypse has awoken... so that must mean, our queen is finally a true undead..." the servant murmured as the ground continued to tear open as the flames all around the castle were suddenly snuffed out and turned to mere bellows of black smoke.
Even without its master and queen, the castle was ready to defend itself, the guardians were ready to kill as the servants mending, screeched their roars and bellows. Even Lord Dracula's castle was a force to not meddle with, no matter who or what you were.
