Alright, folks, here is is! The next to last chapter! The next chapter shall be the conclussion!

If you like Bleach, you will be pleased to know I am extending my range on fan fic writting to that anime. Once this is over, I shall begin writting Bleach ffs. Comedy, of course. I suck at anything serious, as you can all see.

And now it is time to watch the fight...

"Und my varhead vill punish all without distinction," the woman stated as she leveled her musket with Alucard's head.

KABOOOOM!!!!

Smoke and flame erupted from the muzzel of the rifle. Alucard barely flinched as the musket ball ripped through his chest, obliterating his heart. "Hm?" the vampire raised an eyebrow and looked down at his profusely bleeding chest. "Your aim is good, I'll give you that. But it will take much more than that to-"

Alucard was cut off by another shot tearing through his throat. "Hngh?!" he choked. He had been shot again, but the woman had only fired once. She was no leaning against the railing of the ship's deck, casually reloading at a relaxed pace. She smirked as her eyes met Alucard's confused gaze. Again, Alucard was struck by another bullet. He stumbled slightly from the force of the blow.

"What iz going on?!" Pip jumped backwards away from the vampire. "How is she-"

Captain Burnadette was not spared from the sniper's wrath. Without warning, a bullet struck him in the left shoulder. He growled in pain as he clutched his bleeding shoulder. The injury wasn't enough to kill him. And he could still fight and move. But that changed when another shot ripped through his right leg. He yelled in agony as his knees gave out from under him and he dropped to the deck.

"Zis is wery entertaining..." the woman commented as she watched the Frenchman roll around on the deck and the vampire be shredded by the hail of "gunfire". After a few more hits, Alucard's corpse dropped to the ground, riddled from head to toe with holes. "Zat was all he had to offer? I was expect much, much more..."

"Urghh..." Pip clentched his teeth in pain as he tried to hold onto his leg and stop himself from bleeding to death. "Zis... zis isn't good..." He glared at the hunk of swiss cheese that had been Alucard. "A lot of help you were..."

Click.

Pip froze. Slowly, he turned around to face the source of the noise. The woman was standing behind him, smiling down the barrel of her rifle, which was inches from his head. "And who might you be, to have bested the "Mighty" Alucard?" Pip sneered.

"I am ze Huntress Rip Van Winkle," the woman explained. "It is a pity you could not have been as fun to prey upon..."

"Heh. Heh heh heh. Heh heh heh hah. Hah hah hah hah. Hah hah! HAH HAH!! HAH HAH HAH HAH HAH!!!!!" Mad laughter filled the air. Pip and Rip both spun to face the source of the chilling chorus of madness. Standing in a pool of his own blood was Alucard, a sneer on his face and guns in his hands. "It takes much more than that to actually kill me. You're magic bullets may be powerful, but only a Man can kill a Monster."

"Oh?" Rip raised an eyebrow. "I'm not sure I agree with zat statement..." With a smile, she raised her rifle to fire. "LET ZE HUNT BEGIN ANEW!"

KABOOM!!!!

"This sucks, this sucks, this sucks..." Fenrir repeated over and over as he trudged back and forth behind Seras. "We're lost. This sucks!"

"If you say that one more time," Seras stated calmly, "I will drain you dry."

"Oh come on, we both know you can't bring yourself to drink a person's blood. And I'm a werewolf, remember? You'd probably puke..." Fenrir answered smugly.

"You're not acting like yourself..." Seras commented.

"Full moon. Sorry..." the Lycanthrope pointed upwards.

"Hm... I see..."

"Not much I can do about it, really. On the night of the full moon, I'm stronger, but I'm also more... uncivilized, to say the least."

"Indeed?"

"Yes. Hah... A civilized werewolf... What a contradiction!"

"Lets check behind this door," Seras grabbed the handle of the door in front of her. "Maybe it leads to another stairwell..."

"Wait!" Fenrir suddenly barked. "Don't open that-"

KACHURRRRNK.

"Too late..."

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Seras and Fenrir both screamed as a horde of Ghouls burst through the doorway.

"I found the crew!" Seras screamed as she rapidly backed away from the monsters.

"Tell them this cruise sucks!" Fenrir yelled as he wrestled with the zombie-fied Captain. "I want off at the next island!"

---------------

"HAHAHAHAH!!!" Rip cackled as she jumped back and forth across the deck. Alucard couldn't keep pace with her speed, especially after having his right arm shot off. He was having a hard time regenerating his injuries, since they occured repeatedly and in random places. "Zis is fun, such fun! I haven't had a hunt like zis in ages!"

"I'm glad I'm not the only one enjoy this!" Alucard grinned as he fired shot after shot at the Huntress. He didn't even flinch now with each blow he recieved, he was so intent on ending her life. "The fun is only just beginning!"

"Don't mind me..." Pip waved his hand in the air, then quickly retracted it. "I'll just lie here zen... bleeding... profusely... wish I had a band-aid... or a hot girl... or both... both would be nice... and some cigarettes... screw the band-aids... I'll just take ze girl and ze smokes..."

You can't tell me Pip wouldn't do that...
