Episode 2

"Hurry up, Police Girl!"

Seras rushed after Alucard. In the darkness, she could see Alucard's red jacket willowing in the winds that pulled against him. Despite all that, she found it harder to follow him on bare foot in this forest! The branches scraped against her check, but she ignored it. Her Master was the most important thing to her know. And with this man out on the loose, with such power, Alucard couldn't resist himself!

Suddenly, Seras realized that Alucard had stopped. She slammed straight into his back, and stumbled a little. Standing in the clearing was a man who looked almost identical to her Master in some ways, but was much different in other ways. For one, they both wore red jackets that trailed on the floor. For another, they both wore sunglasses despite the absence of sunlight. However, while Alucard's dark hair fell over his back, this man's spiky blonde hair stood up on end. In both of their hands, however, were guns.

"You…I can smell it! You were the same as the one in that building…" Alucard said, hungry for blood.

"Can we find another way around this?"

"No…I crave for blood, and you are a worthy challenge!"

"Blood makes me queasy…and I disapprove of violence!"

"What the hell…?" Seras mumbled. Who was this joker? Could he have really defeated all those vampires without killing any of them? He didn't have a scratch on him, save for the small scrap of Seras's bullet on his cheek.

"You won't stand a chance…what is your name?" Alucard said, somewhat disappointed.

"My name is Vash! Vash the Stampede!"

"Well…Vash the Stampede…I am Alucard of the Hellsing Organization!"

"Hellsing…that sounds kinda scary…" Vash said, pulling out his gun.

"You make a mokery of Sir Integra!"

"Who is that guy?" Vash asked.

"Sir Integra is a woman, you moron!" Seras spat.

"A woman!? Who calls a woman sir anyway? Geez…this world really is weird…"

"Silence! I've had enough of you…" Alucard snarled. He fired his gun at Vash, who jumped aside with ease.

"You have some skill…I like that…" Alucard said, not at all disheartened by the bullet missing, "You may be some fun yet…"

Vash fired a bullet at Alucard. He grinned as he let it pierce his side. Blood oozed down his waist, but he completely ignored it. He grinned as he fired another bullet. Vans evaded, and fired his own. Alucard dodged as well, and the battle had begun!

Alucard rushed at Vash, and fired his gun even more at him. Vash dodged easily, and fired a bullet straight through Alucard's stomach! It barely phased him. He responded, however, with a punch to his face. Vash spiraled backward, smashing into the floor! A crater formed beneath his body. Alucard jumped up to avoid the ground collapsing upon the poor man below.

"Pathetically easy…" Alucard turned around, and drifted back to Earth. Seras sighed. He was weak. He was fast, sure, but Alucard's strength beat him in the end.

"That's not a very nice thing to do, you know."

Alucard didn't even turn around before the array of bullets had torn apart his flesh! Seras stared in disbelieve as bullet after bullet tore through the floor, and into her Master's flesh! Vash rose from the ground, a little bloody here and there, dirty, but relatively fine as well. Alucard landed on the floor, bleeding steadily as he pushed himself up.

"What the hell…!?" Vash gasped. Turning to Seras, he commented, "Sorry for that language."

"Oh, shut up!" Seras snarled, aggressively.

"You are a worthy foe after all…Vash…" Alucard had risen to his feet. It took no time at all for the bullet holes to heal. Alucard's regenerative abilities were spectacular! There wasn't even a trace of damage upon him.

"Not bad…" Vash said, "But you aren't the best…"

Alucard fired another bullet at Vash, but he dodged, "That doesn't work, Al!"

"What!? Are you taunting me?!"

"Maybe…" Vash was smirking now too. Was that psycho nuts?! Did he think this was a game or something!?

"I'll put you down in your place, worm!"

The ground shook around him. His body grew dark, and his flesh began to twist. Eyes burst out from underneath his cloak as his body began to change shape and form. Vash stared perplexed as the form of Alucard's arm became like the head of a canine! It stretched out at Vash, and smashed into his chest! He was propelled backward, onto the floor to bleed. He gasped out a wad of blood as he pushed himself away. Another spine burst from Alucard's chest, embedding itself in Vash's shoulderblade! Blood oozed out underneath his form as Alucard grinned.

"Summon your demons! Summon them now!"

"Summon demons? Alright…how's this?!"

The top of Vash's gun flew off. A sphere of sparks surrounded the gun as a brilliant light flash burst outward. Seras shielded her eyes as Alucard smashed another spine out at Vash, aiming toward his heart. The light dissolved away, and Vash was standing.

His arm that held the gun had changed completely. His arm had become metallic, and yet also somewhat angelic too. Feathers sprouted out behind his arm. A heavenly light contrasted greatly against Alucard's darkness. The barrel of the gun and his flesh had merged seamlessly.

From the deep barrel, a brilliant light burst outward. Alucard grinned. A giant blast of darkness replied to the light, and the two collided head on in the center! The two of them were knocked backward onto the floor as a giant blend of light and dark burst outward, illuminating the surroundings! Seras was smashed to the floor as the energy consumed her flesh, and burned it severely.

Seras pushed herself up, still hurt badly by the blast. Alucard and Vash were both on the ground, bleeding heavily. "Master!" She needn't have called out. Alucard pushed himself up, but weakly. He gingerly got to his feet, and stared at Vash.

"That power is incredible…it's almost angelic…the darkness is the opposite to that energy, and canceled each other out…he isn't from this world…"

"Then what is he from?"

"We need to take him in alive…Police Girl! Take him! He's alive. Don't drink his blood…"

"I have a name…"

"I really don't care…"

----

"So this girl, Yui you said her name was, was she a good person?"

Yuki had recovered greatly since Tohru last checked. Shigure still had locked him in his room to be safe, and told Tohru that "if she wanted to risk all of their safety for a petty desire, go right ahead!" Tohru felt guilty about doing it, but had to talk to Yuki now.

"Well…Hana said that she had a weird signal…and I felt…there was something different about her…something I never felt before even about the Sohmas…"

"Was it bad?"

"Uh? No! Not at all! She's really nice! You'd love to meet her, trust me!"

"Okay…I look forward to it…"

Tohru left the room feeling funny. Yuki was a great person, and sometimes he made her heart beat a little too fast for comfort. Then, she remembered something important in a flash!

"Oh! I haven't gotten dinner ready! Okay! Hold on! I'm coming!"

She rushed to the kitchen, and began boiling water. Shigure watched her from the outside, smiling serenely. Tohru could hear him sighing, "Ah, what a beautiful goddess lives in our house…it's such a shame that she troubles herself so…I wonder if I can help her feel better…"

"Not on your life, pervert!" yelled Kyo, aggressively.

"Oh! Kyo…when did you get here?" Shigure said, laughing nervously.

"Idiot…"

-----

"Yui! Your back!" Yui had taken her shoes off when she saw the five people in her apartment.

Of course, Miaka was there. And Tama. They had been through much in their lifetime. Miaka and her had been friends since kindergarden. As for Tama….that was a different story.

But they weren't the only ones aware of something strange.

He called himself Sanosuke. He and Tama had fought at first, but now Sanosuke and he were good friends. Yui didn't know why he would wear a jacket with a symbol meaning "evil" on his back when he claimed to fight for good. Then again, this guy was weird on his own. He made wonderful muscle.

Then there was Kurama. Kurama was a fox demon, from what he had told them. He had come willingly into the group, and knew of the circumstances. He was brilliant, smarter even then Yui, which was saying something! He was the stratagist here, and knew exactly what to do and how to do it.

As of now, though, they were doing little more then eating pizza.

"Guys! Shouldn't we be planning on how to work…or something professional?" Yui complained.

"The little brat was hungry! Hell, I was hungry! What were we supposed to do?!" Sanosuke sighed.

"Who are you calling a brat?!" Miaka snarled. There was almost fire in her eyes. Sanosuke shriveled up in fear of her wrath.

"In any case…it seems as though, if she is kind enough, Miaka will let you have one of her slices so she doesn't have an even 20…"

"She had twenty slices…?" Yui blinked confused.

"I don't know where the hell she puts it all…"

"Well…we should find a way to take care of this once and for all, right? So…what is going on, Kurama?" Tama asked, confused.

"You know the most out of all of us, huh?" Sanosuke said, sighing.

"The Organization we are dealing with is heartless and evil…at least some of them are," Kurama said, "They all serve a singular master, who none of them actually know personally. They have broken the boundaries between the worlds for whatever reason, and are trying to reach a singular objective. What that is, however, is a mystery."

"Than you don't know more then we do…" Miaka said.

"I wasn't done yet, Miss Yuki…" Kurama said, "Anyway, despite that…I know of some of the members…the prominent ones, at least…a few, not many, as they are several, but…nonetheless…"

"Who's involved?" Tama asked.

"The head seems to be a man named Gendo Itachi. He's a scientist, and is responsible for the worlds to be connected. He isn't the master, but might have met him personally. He developed a machine known as an Evangelion, which seems to be incredibly lethal. Then, there's Sesshomaru, a wolf demon with unbelievable power. Avoid him at all costs. There's a man named Scar who has alchemic abilities. Distinct physical feature is a massive scar."

"No shit, Sherlock," Sanosuke said.

"Don't interrupt," Kurama said, calmly, "There's a man named Alexander Anderson from the Vatican. Completely insane. A figure named Frieza, who is an alien emperor with a multitude of transformations. The list after that, though, was burned, and many people who are alongside Gendo and Sesshomaru, who seem to be ringleaders of this organization, are impossible to discover."

"And info on their plans?" Yui asked.

"Yes…involving a group known as ACROSS…"

-----

"Excel! Do you not marvel at the ignorant masses?"

"How so, sir?"

"They have created their own weapon of destruction without even knowing who made it! Cell here will be completed in a day or two. Until then…there is a second target we need to capture."

"Who?" Hyatt asked, gently.

"His name is Tetsuo. That's all that the information tells us. Apparently, though, he is just as strong, if not more so, than Cell!"

"What!? Then why the hell did you make us get Cell if he's stronger!?"

"I'm sorry, Excel, I didn't quite hear that? You say you want to swim?" A long rope had descended once again from the ceiling.

"No, Lord Illpallazzo, sir!"

"Too bad. Enjoy yourself."

Excel fell into oblivion yet again as he tugged gently on the rope.

"How are we going to get this Tetsuo, sir?"

"You are to infiltrate the lab that you found Cell. They have hired a new bodyguard. One that, supposedly, will protect Tetsuo better than those guards did. Mainly because, from what I heard, 'it takes a thief to catch a thief', or something like that."

"Who is it, Illpallazzo sir?" asked Hyatt.

"His name…my dear…is…

-----

Hyatt and Excel wondered through the hallways of the lab. All around them were test tubes and tables full of charts and data. Excel's brain was fried just by glancing at them. What they could mean was beyond her grasp. Hell, she didn't even have a ballpark chance of figuring them out, even on accident!

"When Illpallazzo conquers the ignorant masses, tell them to make data actually make sense so Excel's brain doesn't go all fuzzy…" Excel muttered to herself.

"So…you guys are the wimps who captured Cell? Geez, what morons…"

From the sky descended a figure. His purple hair bounced from the shock of landing. His giant black wings were spread out over the ground as he smirked up into Excel's eyes. Hyatt fell backward. Excel knew she had died from shock.

"Wow…you guys are weak…"

"So…you're…" Excel took out a notecard Hyatt had written for her. It was hard to read, as it had blood all over the important part, "Dark?"

"That's me!" Dark snarled, pulling out a whip.

"Okay…just walk out of the way and let us have Tetsuo easily!"

"That's gonna work…"

"Okay…." Excel pulled out a gigantic blade that was larger than her entire body. The demonic curve glinted light over the floor as she snarled, "Let's get this started…"

Excel rushed at Dark, and swung her blade. The angel jumped out of the way, and smashed his whip straight across her face. Excel smashed into the ground, bleeding. Dark grinned as he muttered, "You are pathetic…you know that, right?"

"Yes…quite well, actually…"

"Tell your boss, whoever the hell he is, that neither this lab or you will have Tetsuo…"

"What are you saying!?"

"Tetsuo now belongs…." Dark grinned deeply as he continued, "…to my employer…a Miss Yukari Tanizaki"
