The vampire Alucard was sprawled on his back on the steps of the battle-shaken hospital. One hand was tucked beneath his head, and the other hand was stretched out in front of him, as if holding up the entire night sky.

A few Hellsing troops were bustling around near and in the hospital, explaining the situation, damage assessment, calming old people in those flimsy hospital gowns that let their old wrinkly butts show. Alucard's eyebrow twitched slightly at the thought, but soon the image faded from his mind as the current view grasped him again. The bright night sky...and his hand.

He heard the news from a soldier's walkie-talkie radio within the hospital. So Hellsing was under attack. 'What a bother.' Alucard heard the immediate change in footstep patterns as the soldiers became alert and began to assemble.

Quick footsteps echoed in the vampire's ears as a young soldier ran up to him. "Alucard, Sir!" The soldier saluted. Alucard knew this, even though he was not looking at the boy. Why? Cause that's just what soldiers do when faced with a usually half-crazed vampire. "Hellsing HQ is under attack! We are to report immediately to the grounds!" Alucard didn't move.

The young soldier faltered. "Er, sir, don't you have anything to say on the matter at all?" Alucard blinked, and said nothing for a few seconds before responding.

"Hmm...I have six fingers..."

Seras and the troops were approaching the front gates at high speed, and what they saw astounded them: The Front Gates were locked.

The convoy braked hard as several of the soldiers swore, Seras included. 'All this is going on, and the entrance is locked? Who the hell planned that one out!' From the back of the truck, Seras could hear several truck doors open and slam. Male voices were easily heard after that.

"Hey! What's the hold up?"

"What the hell is going on!"

"Ze fronte gate! C'est locked!" Pip.

"Locked?"

"What the bloody hell–? Who the hell locks the gates at a battle!"

"Can somebody tell me why in the world we work for this broad again?"

"Alright! Alright! Everybody! Juste shut-up! Ah've found ze keypad!" A large explosion on the main grounds rocked Seras and the soldiers even in their seats. Pip swore something unintelligible in French. "So 'ou knows ze damned password already!"

The men instantly became silent. "Uh...We dunno boss."

"You don' know! Zen how are we supposed to get in zen!" The men went quiet again. "O'mai god...what vould ze mistress call you right now...? Ah! I know. Bloody imbeciles the lot of you!"

A new voice appeared. "Uhm, guys? What's going on?"

"Who said that?"

"Show yourselves!" Seras heard a great deal of rustling as the soldiers moved around outside, searching for the new arrival.

"Gah! I can't see anything out here!"

"Who touched me!"

"Wasn't me!"

"And it damn well wasn't me!"

Pip could be heard swearing again."Morons! Pull out your flashlights! Flashlights everybody right now!" More silence from the soldiers.

"Oh. Duh."

"Wow..."

"Have we seriously been standing out here arguing in the dark all this time?"

"Dude I think we should retire. We suck."

"Yeah."

"We suck so bad man."

"...Yeah."

"Oh, you guys shouldn't put yourselves down like that! Think positively!"

"Oh GOD! Seriously who said that!" Rustle, rustle...

" I mean it man! The next person who touches me is going to get a bullet to the face!"

There was a click as somebody finally turned on a flashlight. "'Oly Shi–! Why ist a gun in my face! Put that thing away soldier!"

"Dude!"

"Man, why the bloody hell are you always ready to shoot somebody?"

"...I'm afraid of the dark..."

...Collective group sigh. "Me too." They said in unison. Seras' eye twitched and she began banging the back of her head against her seat.

"Why would you join a vampire-hunting army!"

"Well..why would you!"

"Hey! Let's start with Mr. I'm-going-to-shoot-everybody-who-touches-me-first!"

"...I'm just a really lonely guy...I thought...I thought the status would help me get a girl..."

...Collective sigh. Seras guessed what was coming. "Me too." In unison.

"Jesus Christ, my troops are idiots. Why Jesus? Why 'ave you curzed me zis way?"

"Uhm...shouldn't we be helping out inside right now?" A scream. "Ow guys! Get the light out of my eyes! That really hurts!"

"Ah but of course! Johnny! I should 'ave figured it was you. Johnny! Vat did I tell you about sneaking up on the company!"

"But sir--"

"No bots Johnny. This is the last time I'm going to warn you. Now get back inside."

"But, but...Sir–!"

"Johnny Get back inside!"

"I know the password sir!"

"Well why the hell didn't you say so! Put it in already!"

With her advanced hearing, Seras heard Johnny press the keys on the pad rapidly. Nothing happened.

"Did it work?"

"Are we inside yet?"

"Oh...right."

"Dumb-ass."

"Argh! Put it in again Johnny!" Pip ordered. Johnny redid the password. Nothing!

"Uhm...I, I don't know what's wrong sir!" Pip swore. Loudly.

"Ah've found it. She fyuking pad-locked ze gate..."

Collective moans of recognition. "Oh!"

"Well that just explains everything!"

"Well then let's go!"

Another explosion rocked them all. "...Ou 'as ze key?"

Seras had had enough as she screamed and ripped off her seat belt. She jumped off of the truck walked up to the gate and blasted the lock to high heaven with her Harkonnen.

The mangled gates swung backward. "The gates are open." She said breathing through her teeth. Then she strode into the darkness to search for Walter and Integra. The troops had yet to move and stared off after her.

"Dude, why didn't we think of that?"

"Because we suck."

"...Yeah..."

"We're going to die."

"...Probably."

"I hate this job."

Collective sigh.

Two hidden Freak soldiers watched as the girl blew the head off of on of there oncoming Freak comrades as she stomped her way towards the mansion. "Bunch of blooming idiots." They could hear her hiss angrily.

Another vampire stepped up to her. "I suggest you get the HELL out of my way! I'm having a bit of a bad moment right now!"

The Freaks' comrade laughed at the little girl. "You can easily make your suffering go away! Simply die!" The vampire launched itself at her. What the observers saw next was one of the most violent and gruesome scenes in all of their unnaturally long war-driven lives.

When they would later describe it to their commander, they would only be able to saw a few choice words, such as; screaming, ripped, jaw, bayonet, and anus. Then they would leave their commander with his imagination at full throttle. And still it would not be gruesome enough. Oh and the word blood. There was definately blood. Lots and lots of blood.

When she was finished, the girl let loose a satisfied sigh and moved onward, not knowing that the two Freaks had seen her.

"Mike..." Said Freak #1.

"Yeah?" Said Mike.

"That's the one you wanted to kill before right?"

"Screw that."

"Yeah."

"Now would be a good time to leave." Mike just nodded.

I'm sorry this took so long guys. But I hope you can look back on this chapter and forgive me. Don't forget to review!
