CHAPTER 8

A.N. I don't know the members names of the Round Table, even though I have heard them before in the series. So you those of you who really know much more about this series can decide for yourselves who is speaking and what not. Seeing as I have the anime series on a VCR tape I recorded the show off of the SCI-FI channel a few years back, and the fact my VCR is acting up, I'm not going to rewind or look through the episodes for names. I also don't know much about the different members of the Round Table either, so for this story, I'm making them into people that…..well, you'll see later on. If I explain it, it will take away the surprise.

I know little on England and I am sorry for saying that. There is a mission I am having them do later in this story that takes place in something that might not even be in England or at least not like I am calling it. You'll see when you get there to reading it. It is Fanfiction after all and considering that this doesn't truly follow the real storyline, many authors call that, A.U., better known as, Alternate Universe. Many people reading this probably already knows what I mean, but I felt the need to explain just in case. I'd rather not offend any people in England reading this. I'd like to visit is someday and Doctor Who is a very big favorite show of mine along with the Sarah Jane Adventures, and they are British, plus love Red Dwarf. Okay, enough of my ramblings…..

Integra was sitting at the table in the up stairs room of the house as the Round Table people were being escorted to the room by Walter. She was drinking a cup of tea while thinking about different things as the door opened. As they sat in the different chairs, leaving the one to her right open by the small table that had the phone, Walter stood on the left side.

"Where is Sir General?" one of the men asked.

"He should be along shortly." Integra said.

"What could be so important that we have to wait for him? He should have been here already." another guy said.

"He has been helping Miss Victoria with her training in swordsmanship. That ended over half an hour ago." Walter said. "I believe he is on his way here at this moment."

"Why is he helping her? She is under the control of the Hellsing pet, he should be training her. And she should be sealed before she decides to go off and attack innocent people!" one of the former candidates on the list yelled near the end of the table.

"Miss Victoria would rather burn than take much less bite a innocent person or one of our own people." Integra said sternly. "When she first arrived here, I had misgivings about even letting her continue her existence. She has shown that despite being a vampire, she is nothing like Alucard. While he is, as several of you call him, a blood thirsty monster, she is the exact opposite. In fact, she almost was killed by a Freak because she refused to drink the transfusion blood we get. Had it not been for the General's untimely arrival, she would have possibly been killed. Because of his help, she has come to accept her new life and keep her humanity as well. Plus save many lives."

"You really believe that she would not attack you or any other person? I find the idea that you even think that preposterous." the man near the end said.

"Even if she was injured to the point she needed a drink to live and I was the only one in the room that could save her, I believe she would rather take her own life before attacking me. I trust her that much gentlemen. On that note, this is my place and my organization." she said setting the empty tea cup aside. "The Queen trusts my judgment so your opinions have no weight on my decisions or agendas in that regard. Nor do I care how you feel about the two vampires we have here working for us. So I suggest we refrain from talking about them in any manner since they are not relevant to this called conference."

"Sorry I'm late." the General said as he came in and took his seat next to her while eating a large Hershey bar. "I had to change clothes again when the zipper broke on my pants."

"I take it you pulled up to hard yet again." she said.

"I'd wear jeans, but they aren't as comfortable as a suit." he said. "Some of these suits are rather old and have been repaired several times over. At least the ones that I have been able to avoid getting fight damage in."

She had her brown suit on while he was wearing a dark red suit with a gold G on the lapels.

"Sir General Hellsing…" one of the men began with some distain in his voice. He was also one of the men on the list, and one of the ones that the General crossed off.

"Just General will do."

"Sorry." several of them said.

"Like I said, just General will do. I do not like being called Sir even though I was Knighted. If you want me to call any of you sir, fine. Call me it and I won't respond."

"Trust me gentlemen." she said hearing the General muttered under his breath about some of them not being even close to actual gentlemen. "I have been given the same speech."

"Fine." one man near him grumbled. "General. I will be blunt. Many of us do not believe you should even be here much less Knighted and even more, you shouldn't even be married to Sir Integra. Quite frankly, I consider the marriage a travesty…"

"We want to do blunt and truthfulness, fine with me. Let's not beat around the bush at all. I saw the list. Almost ever name on that list were people I told her to stay away from." he said getting glares that turned from him to her.

"Only four people on that list did I consider, and only because the Queen was making me do so. I have known the General for awhile and he was there when I was born. Some of the memories I have of him have returned, though nothing that I need to or will talk about. The point begin here is I trust him and love him on the level where as I am having a child with him as the father. The Queen approved of our marriage so there is no point for any discussion about that subject." she said holding his hand and noticing he did have the ring on.

Other than scrutinizing looks and glares, some of hatred towards the General for obvious reasons, a few of them nodded.

"Very well. Then let's get this meeting started." Sir Kingston said. "The first agenda is to find out what plans you two have for the Hellsing Organization now that you are married and with child Sir Integra. I cannot speak for the others here, but you have my congratulations on both your marriage and child to be."

The two only nodded at him as the General picked up the tea cup and sniffed it.

"Ah, you did do the raspberry tea. Little early."

"Not my favorite, but seeing it helps get rid of morning sickness, better to get used to it now then later." she said nodding. "Now, as for the agenda for our organization, it shall continue as it has. The General is helping me with paperwork issues and several other projects that I usually tend to on my own. However, if you are asking who is in charge of the Hellsing Organization, I am still the head and will continue to be until I become incapable for the short time, if I am lucky, the last month of my pregnancy. After which, I shall go back to being in charge at least a week after giving birth."

"Depending on the situation of a mission will depend on where I shall be. I speak on this subject as of right now to the point of her giving birth and afterward." the General said.

"And you have no plans to take over her position as full commander, which is in your right now that you are her husband?" one of them asked.

"One of the reasons for the marriage was so she could keep her position. I wouldn't want it if she gave it to me. The paperwork I've seen her do alone is enough to drive me crazy. She's been doing a great job so far, so I see no reason to take it away. I'll only be taking over for a short time when it gets to the point she can't move around as much and the doctors start looking after her more. But I will still go to her for opinions and such."

A few of the guys grunted disapprovingly but said nothing else.

"According to our reports, you have been training Miss Victoria very closely." a man on the other side in the middle said opening a file. "These reports not only state that she has become a very skilled soldier since you arrived, but the video files show you and her seeming a lot closer than just comrades in arms."

"I find that strange to hear since she doesn't show up on cameras." the General stated as he noticed Integra's eyes narrow and her teeth grit slightly.

"Since her arrival at the Hellsing Organization, she has been watched discreetly. Even though she cannot be seen on a video, she can be heard. We also have seen you training her and have been able to have the video files digitally fixed, to give a shadow dummy in her place to give us an idea of what was happening during the records. After seeing and hearing the many videos we have, it has come to our conclusion that this marriage was not done out of any love for each other." the man said as several of the men there seemed a little shocked at the fact this information was being brought to light so soon while a few others either kept the stone façade or smiled. The man's voice changed to distain as he kept talking. "But that the marriage was done to ensure that Sir Integra did not loose control of this organization as you said a moment ago. We have yet to report these findings or show the videos to her Majesty…."

Integra was beyond pissed at this point as she was gritting her teeth and had balled her fist so tight that her knuckles popped. Even Walter was rather angry, but he kept from showing it other than in his eyes. She turned to the General as he placed his hands on her left hand. She barely kept it hidden, but her eyes gave away her shock at seeing he was very calm about the entire situation.

"Sir Integra, you must calm down. Remember what happens if you stress too much." the General said calmly. "Even though you are barely with child, a miscarriage could happen."

"The point here is simple Sir Integra and Sir General. We have enough evidence to show her Majesty that the marriage was a farce and that even though there is no physical proof, it is obvious that you are closer to the, vampire bitch, than you are with Sir Integra." a man said apparently in hopes of seeing the General do something other than the spark of anger Integra saw in his eyes. "I cannot speak for the others in here, but personally, you never should have been given control of this place Sir Integra. As for you Sir General, you shouldn't have been given Knighthood much less be allowed to even be in our country!"

"Wow, talk about being blunt. I think I was just threatened." he stated with the same calm voice. "Did it sound like that to you Walter?"

"I would say so. I think the correct expression is, they have you over a barrel." Walter said shrugging slightly.

"Hmm, it seems like it." he said shrugging as well.

"You have left a big trail Sir General. We have been able to find many stories and other information on you that goes back at least two hundred years or more. The fact that you own part of that whorehouse that that black bitch vampire has been in control of for many years is a stain on this country that should have been wiped out before it was even started. I cannot even begin to understand why she has been around this long, much less the other vampires that are out there that the Hellsing Organization should have gotten rid of as soon as they located them. I don't care if they have contributed to society or not. Hell, even if they had found the cure for cancer, it would not matter. An evil creature is an evil creature and a vampire is and always will be a creature of pure sin." the man said slamming his hand down on the table.

"I guess that most of you are fucking bigots then." the General said shocking quite a few of them.

"I had figured that many of you were against me being in charge and had problems with my policies and agendas with this organization, but I had no idea the hatred went this far." she growled. "To think I trusted many of you only to find out the lot of you have wanted to stab me in the back from the beginning. If it wasn't for the fact that you couldn't be behind it, I'd swear many of you were working to help my former uncle to take over this place after my father died."

"I take it that basically, most to if not all of you are, blackmailing us, or at least me?" the General asked.

"Yes." the man near the middle said. "A few of us believe there should be an instant change that is to take place right away. Seeing as I seriously doubt that either of you will comply, this information shall be given to the Queen this afternoon anyway. After which, this place shall finally be taken over by the people who rightly should have control and the measures that need to take place to ensure the true safety of this country are enacted."

"You mean like spreading the fine silver dust into the air plan?" he said shocking most of the members, especially as he waved one hand in the air like he was dropping something. "Nice idea, but a bad one. Miss Victoria was shot in the line of duty and was given a choice to die, or to be reborn, as Alucard put it to her at the time. We all know what she chose. However, even though she is a vampire, it doesn't mean she is evil. Tell me something, if an actual vampire, not the Freaks, came along and turned your child into a vampire, would you shoot them even though they hadn't even killed much less bite anyone?"

"Without hesitation." the man said quickly as a few of the others nodded.

"I have seen some sick people over my many years and heard some terrible things too, but you lot really make me sick. I've even seen the budget for this place and lately, you've been pulling funds away for the last few years. We were lucky to even get the funds needed to repair the damage done when those two Freaks attacked this place."

"All of that is in the past now. We have the future to look forward too." the man in the middle said. "Now, we have brought divorce papers….."

Everyone looked at the General when he started laughing. Integra was feeling rather ill at the fact everything she had worked for was slowly slipping from her grip. These men, once heavily trusted were turning on her and blackmailing them both. It was more the General that was going to get in the most trouble, but she would probably get in big trouble with the Queen when it came to light that the General only married her for them to have a child and that he was still with Seras despite the vows of marriage they made. Seeing him laugh confused her greatly and then she looked up as did everyone else but the General as Alucard could be heard laughing heartily as well. Alucard showed up behind Integra rising out of the floor. Seeing as the men had seen him before, they weren't all that surprised.

"You humans are really pathetic." he said with a sneer. "The General here may be sleeping with my fledgling as you have found out, and has done many things in his lifetime that many would condone as evil. But what I have witnessed today has shown me a level of human depravity that I haven't seen in years!"

"Alucard, what's going on?" she asked turning her chair to him.

"I am here because…the General ordered me to be. Since he married you Master and you taught him the further information about sealing, I now have to answer to him as well. Fortunately, his order is one I take pleasure in." he said with a smile.

"General…."

"This was a last minute thing Sir Integra. I had a feeling these, fools as most of them are, would try something like this. I chalk it up to experience."

"Alucard cannot kill these men. Only if they suddenly became traitors to this country and her Majesty, then perhaps….."

"Oh no. I wouldn't dare order Alucard to kill them. That would be too lenient."

"And how long has this plan been in your mind?" she asked.

"About a couple of hours. Actually, it is thanks to Walter, a few phones calls and Alucard that everything I had a feeling would happen here is not going to happen at all." he said turning back to the men at the table. "After seeing that list, I did some really serious back ground checking. I can hack into the American Governments most secret computers files with ease. Mostly because I helped create the programs and know all the back doors. Getting into the computers in this country was even simple too. Though the phone calls meant calling in a few favors. One of which was from the Queen herself. I have background information on all of you, going back to your teenage years. Emails, paper trails, and several other things have came up for more than one of you. I do not know what the Queen will do as she goes over the information, but I doubt it will be pleasant."

"Alucard is only here to see the looks on their faces? I seriously doubt that to be the case General. What is the catch?" Integra asked.

"Alucard has been reading everyone's mind since they entered this room. Your most deepest secrets are now known." he said seeing them all cringe. "The Queen knows Alucard can't lie if Sir Integra orders him to tell the truth of what he knows from your minds, and because he is outside the law, but has truthful information she would accept, there would be no trial or anything because it would expose what Hellsing really is and does."

"The human mind is much easier to enter and explore when the subject is distracted. Such as it was with most of you in thinking you had finally managed to grasp this place from my Master. If it wasn't for her keeping me from doing so, several of you would be drank completely dry and I would take great pleasure in killing your worthless undead corpse! I can understand your hatred for me! I admit to the fact I am a monster and reveal in the fact of what I have become!" he said with a insidious laugh. "However, Seras Victoria did not made her choice lightly. She was a innocent girl who was in the wrong place at the wrong time. Though she has not turned out to be the daughter I wish her to have become, I still care for her regardless. The fact that many of you would see her burned alive just because of what she is even though she has never taken an innocent life makes me sick. I've encountered Freaks who have had more compassion than some of you."

"I understand what you are doing General." Integra said with relief as a smile touched her face. "Because he has read their minds and he has to obey every command because of the seals, he cannot lie about what he found in their minds."

"Yes. I wasn't even surprised that he agreed to this plan of action. Personally, I would rather let him loose, but he's more under your command than mine." the General said seeing the men cringe. "Now, you can do what you wish with the information you have. Though I seriously doubt that anything will happen to us or this organization. I've talked with the Queen this morning. She….has my back you could say. She did owe me a big favor."

There was complete silence for several moments as the men were look at each other as though they were trying to silently communicate. Sir Islands barely did anything other than breath the entire time along with Kingston and a couple others that were behind Sir Integra. He wasn't against Integra at all and most of what he had heard wasn't shocking news because he knew what the others wanted, but couldn't do much about because he was one person. There was a couple of other men who weren't bad and also on Integra's side, but didn't say anything.

"I shall take me leave then." Alucard said fazing away through the floor.

"I guess this meeting is over. You all can go, wherever it is you go. Oh, for your information gentlemen." the General said sarcastically. "As of this moment, you can keep the budget for this place for other things. My massive financial empire, built over a thousand years plus, shall keep this place running from now on. Giving to charities is nice, but now I'll actually see some results taking place. Unless you have anything to input Sir Integra I think it is time they go."

"Nothing at this moment." she said turning back to the table. "Walter, if you would please."

"It would be a great pleasure Sir Integra." Walter said bowing and then ushering the men out.

She sat back in the chair looking at him as he watched the door close leaving them in an empty room together.

"Walter and Seras should be coming in here soon after those idiots are all gone."

"Not all of them were bad."

"You can talk to those men yourself, in person or on the phone. I don't know any of them personally, but most of them had a pretty checkered past if you dug deep enough. Some of them had really bad things going on currently. And one of them actually goes to that brothel place using a different name. As for the men on your side, it was best that I made them all think I was after them all, even though the ones on our side probably knew we weren't after them. Didn't want the bad guys to know the good guys if they didn't know to begin with."

"So, you've not only saved me and my organization through marriage, but now through going after those men. It makes me wonder what you'll do next to save Hellsing."

"What can I say dear.." he said getting a slight glare he ignored as he rubbed the back of her hand. "It is my home now too. Well, more than before."

"I doubt I should really ask, but are you absolutely sure that you have the finances needed to keep this place running?"

He snorted with a small laugh as he waved lightly for her to stay seated.

"You don't live as long as I have without having amassed a savings over the many years. There are objects that I have in my collection that make the Hope Diamond seem worthless. At least in archeological terms. Besides, I was behind several dozen inventions that are still out there today. I've been playing the stock market for so long, I have a few hidden locations that are loaded with gold bricks that have my name stamped into them. Besides the fact that I had help from an alien who located a few mines around the world that I got access to many years ago that no one knew about. I sold most of them off, but a few of them are still being mined. I actually have so much money, I'm not sure how much there is. Time I used it for a good purpose. Other than to the various charities over the world that I am helping like I said. Red Cross is one."

"You have something big planned then? Other than the amount of money it takes to run this place daily?"

"Only if you approve. As strange as these plans are going to look, as soon as you see them. And as impossible as they will seem to be, I can get everything, only if you approve however. I could get more, but then we'd have the U.N after us. Not to mention it would take using some favors."

"I am still wondering if there is a hidden motive you are not telling me about." she said as she wondered about the U.N. comment.

"None that I can think of. Other than there are a few things on this plan I hope you approve of because there are certain, vehicles I would really like to tinker with and such that…a normal citizen couldn't have access too. However, being a sanctioned organization under the Queen herself, we could have these certain items. Walter was especially happy to see the plans and agrees they would be great. I hope you approve, I'd rather not beg, but I will if I have to."

"On your knees no doubt."

"Oh yes. I got an SR-71 Blackbird Spy place back home in Colorado out back behind my mansion in a hanger with a few other things. That cost a lot to get, even through legitimate Air Force channels. Everything is all there, except fuel. And no runway. I think it was the fact that the plane can't go anywhere is why I was able to even get it. That and it was scheduled for decommissioning. Pretty sad to watch something you had a hand in creating get scrapped. I've watched many things I helped create get turned into scrap or rebuilt into something else because other people made something better. Oh well, that's the way of progress. I just got lucky and was able to save one of those planes."

"Are you saying you want us to have an Air Force of our own?"

"No. I can fly, but I prefer ground travel. A few more helicopters wouldn't be a bad idea and I can get us a couple Apache choppers easily. Walter wants to have side winder missiles added to the current helicopter. I even own one of those Concord planes. As far as I know, it is still being used by some airport in the U.S. If it wasn't for me, they would have scrapped her sometime ago because of maintenance cost."

"And what it is that you want?" she asked as the door opened. "An airstrip for your planes?"

"Nice idea, but no. The helicopter probably draws enough attention as it is. Ah, perfect timing my dear." he said helping Seras take the rolled up maps of the Hellsing property.

He placed them on the table as Integra stood to get a better view. Walter came in and closed the door going over to stand where he had been before. Seras pulled a couple paperweights out and set them on the corners of the various maps that covered the table.

"My god. These plans are almost insane." Integra stated.

"I have been coming up with these ideas, with Walter and Seras helping since that incident with the Valentine brothers. I can say with certainty, if we had this set up then, they wouldn't have gotten into the front door. Hell, they wouldn't have gotten within fifty feet of the front of the house. Seras and I saw the gate get breached. We could have stopped them quickly with this set up." he said poking the maps.

"I can see that. Some of these ideas seem a bit outrageous. However, there is a chance of that sort of attack happening again. That I am sure of. I would not put it past the Vatican to attempt an attack on us if we were vulnerable. This would give us an extreme advantage. There is only one problem other than the fact that most of the grounds would be being dug up."

"What's that sir?" Seras asked.

"The ammo requirements for all these weapons would be very difficult to get if not impossible. The amount of silver we get for our ammo is taxing at best sometimes."

"Been dealt with already. I talked with the Queen and she said all that silver dust for that spread plan will be melted down and sent to us in bricks in exchange for gold bars from me. We'll have plenty of silver for a long time. Seeing as I hope we'll never really have to use half these weapons if we are lucky. Outside contractors I know that will never say anything because of the amount I pay can dig the areas out specified and then with the troops, plus me and Seras, we can set up everything easily. Walter can help with the building and getting ready of all the weapons. Once it is all done, the yard and rest of the land should look as it normally does."

"I like how you have the set up to reinforce the house as well." she said pointing out different areas. "Ah, I see what you want over here for personal use I take it?"

"Something like that. I got one fully loaded back home. Considering that huge cannon Seras's uses, these aren't all that far from the same thing. They just have armor and move slower."

Integra looked it over more closely, checking out all the different details and 3-d pictures the three had drawn up to show how it would look. After several minutes of the three watching Integra and waiting, she finally spoke.

"I see everything except a possible time table for this getting done. I exclude of course the calls you will have to make to even get half the stuff here."

"Calls have been made already." he said with a proud smile as she stood up. "Nothing is being shipped yet because I was waiting for your approval, but I know people who could have this stuff here by the end of the week. I'll have a few warehouses rented out to put everything in and then things will be brought in from there as the work around here gets done. With the right people and hopefully less missions instead of more, we can get this all set up within a months time."

"If the Hellsing manor was on the waters edge, would these plans include a ship of some sort, say a battleship perhaps?" she asked curiously.

"I wish. I've been trying to buy or at least have one made for years. I keep getting turned down repeatedly. Even though I offered twice what some of the damn things are worth." he said crossing his arms. "Having a tank is acceptable. Owning a battleship is not."

"Why have you not tried building your own?" Seras asked.

"You need a ship yard and people who know how to build ships like that. Even though I have all the plans needed to build the yard and get the equipment and build the ship, by the time I got done, the ship would be obsolete. Something that big, you just don't hide. Back when ships were made of wood, when those large sails were needed to get everywhere, it was easy to make ships. Could get several done in a month with the right people working and it was easy to hide where you built them. Now days, technology has made that even impossible. My shipyards now builds those sort of boats for movie use."

"I have heard that the Russians sell just about everything they have dealing with their military." Walter said.

"Tried them. Even offered to tell them the location of their Red October submarine that was scuttled in American waters. They still refused, probably because the Americans or some other government put pressure on them, more than likely the U.N. Because I refuse to tell them where the ship is, I'm to be captured or shot on sight if I go to Russia. I even went to see if I could do something with the Red October myself, but they scuttled her rather well. At least the nuclear reactor is still contained so the waters aren't radiated."

"How long have you been asking for a battleship General?" Integra asked.

"Since I saw the first one. I thought right away, now there is a cool ship. Every government in the world knows I want one which is probably why I can't get one. I even tried to use the favor I was given from the Queen Elizabeth the second, or was it the third? One of them granted me a favor to use at any time, which I used with the current Queen. Amazing the records the royal family keeps. Anyway, I asked her if I could get one of the British battleships with the favor and was promptly told no. So I used the favor against the men that were in here."

"You're going to keep at the battleship thing until you get one then aren't you?" Integra asked.

"Yes." he said crossing his arms again. "I'm just waiting to hear from someone in any of the governments willing to part with it. I've been offered a submarine so many times that I couldn't believe how easy they were to get. I don't like going under water for long periods."

"Back onto this current subject." Integra said pointing at the maps. "You have full approval. However, I may make changes, just so you know."

"Understood."

"And I want updates on at the end of the day as soon as this gets started. However, any mission that comes up needing either of you two's expertise, it will override the work on this."

"Yes sir." all three of them said.

"Good. Now, I'll leave you to make the necessary arrangements and you can tell me about it later. I'm going to the kitchen. Walter…"

"Coming Sir Integra."

By the end of the day, he had gotten hold of everyone he needed. In two days, the people would arrive to begin work.

The plans involved setting up a defense perimeter around the entire house. Fifty feet out, several dozen gatling guns would come out of the ground, evenly spaced around the building with a angle of fire that would keep them from hitting the other guns and avoiding the house as well. Twenty five feet in front of those guns, also evenly spaced out about twenty feet apart from each other was fifty caliber machine guns found on vehicles or ships. These would have rounds that were anti-air, air-personal and anti-tank. Seras's cannon was pretty much anti-tank to begin with so it wasn't a far stretch. Blast shields would be on both sets of guns to prevent them from taking damage from enemy soldiers. Seeing as a lot of the grounds were basically for looks and didn't get walked on much, Integra approved the plan to have mines placed in the yard. These mines however were under the ground and would not be active until they were activated. They would be buried a foot into the ground and when turned on, which would be all of them at once, the small area would lift up and move the ground aside bring the mine to the surface. Even if the mines were seen by the enemy troops, there was so many that it would be difficult for the enemy to avoid them and the gun fire from the machine guns. The gatling guns were basically a last stand system if the fifty calibers were ever breached, since they would end up shooting the fifty calibers if they came up at the same time.

More hand held weapons were ordered as well along with two Apaches and the side winder missiles for the helicopter they already had. Out behind the training grounds, outside the walls and under the ground, a area was going to be dug out and hid under the grass to be a bunker of sorts where three M1-Abram tanks were to be placed. The current A.P.C.'s would get better armor and the troops would get better bullet proof vest. All the widows in the mansion would be replaced, the outside ones, with heavily reinforced bullet proof glass. The General also ordered certain special items for his car that he and Seras were going to work on in their spare time.

On the roof, plus a few areas under the ground that would come up with either the gatlings or the fifty calibers, was several missile systems. These missiles would have up to a two mile range and each set up held six missiles. Seeing as there was a lot of ground to cover for maximized protection, there was more than a dozen placements with the missile systems which covered the entire area with a 360 degree range from the roof and only up to 180 degree range for the different ones on the ground. On the ground there was three for the north, three for the south, three for the east and three for the west. On the roof, it was the same except for there was also three for the north west, three for the north east and the like. Extra rockets for the roof were to be stored in nearby crates that allowed for three completely attacks. On the ground, there would be more rockets in the bunkers giving them more to fire with.

Two command centers would be set up to control all the systems if they had to for go manual usage. This was only a problem if they were surrounded from all sides and had to retreat to the inside. The biggest problem being they wouldn't be able to reload. A smaller command center, which would consist of three computers controlling everything in her office when it came time to activate the defenses. Six monitors would be set up with the computers to allow them to see the different things they would need to see. It would be at the opposite end of the room from her desk. The second and primary control room would be placed in the basement sub level which would have more computers and many more screens and an override control for the computers upstairs. Several other ideas were also being put into the works as well as the plans changing during the process of getting everything in. All in all, the General was dishing out a couple billion for everything in the end.

Three days after the people arrived and construction began, a mission came up. A couple to possible four Freaks were attacking. However, it turned out to be a blessing and a curse as the General put it. Considering the place that was being attacked, strangely enough, the General figured it would be better if only he, Seras and Alucard went. The troops could stay to help watch the place, along with Walter. Besides the fact they were also helping with the loading and some construction work. The blessing part was even though they would be having to kill a lot of ghouls and quite possibly a number of people not turned, was because it wasn't a place full of innocent people. The curse was the fact they had to go after the Freaks that attacked a large prison. The number of prisoners was near three hundred. According to what little they did learn, some Freak was trying to get his brother out of there, or so the story was.

So far, the current S.A.S. people had the place surrounded and were checking the area out to make sure no one had escaped. As far as they could tell, no one had. There was no holes they could find and no sewers anyone had left from as far as the dogs could tell, or any tracks. Even the trees were being checked to see if someone was jumping from tree to tree, seeing as Freaks did have superior speed and strength. Alucard walked out of the shadows going right in as dusk approached while the other two were driving up in his car. Seeing who they were, the guard let them in.

"I'm the field unit commander in charge here. Where is the rest of your troops Sir General Hellsing?"

"I deemed it unnecessary to loose troops in such a confined area, especially with all the bad people in there to begin with. Would you want to send your people, people who probably have sent many criminals here, into that place if it was in a massive riot instead of what is currently going on?" the General said as he got his sword out. "Me, this lady here and another agent are heading in. We'll be just fine."

"You're outnumbered…um…"

"300 or so verses 3. I've seen worse. Been in worse actually. We'll be fine." he said holding out his arm to her.

He was wearing a suit like always, black to help him hide better in the darkness. His special glasses on. She was in black jeans with a black turtleneck and a black leather jacket that had the Hellsing crest on the arm like his did. She had a gun with her and several clips inside the coat, plus her sword across her back. The man shook his head as he watched them walk away and started shouting more orders to the other men.

"Police girl. There is much death and chaos inside. Be warned, there is six Freaks and many ghouls. Not all of the prisoners here have been turned. There is complete and utter chaos going on. I would hate to see everything that you've accomplished go to waste because your mind could not handle it." Alucard said into her mind as he pulled his guns and started firing at different ghouls and any thing else that attacked him.

"I think I can handle it Master." she said as they got to the twenty foot outside gate, as a couple of S.A.S. personal opened the door letting them in quickly before closing and barring it again.

"Alucard say something?" he said as they walked up to the damaged second door to the interior.

"He was warning me that there is things in here that might blow my mind. Go insane."

"Doubtful. But, if it looks like it is becoming to much to handle or watch, let me know and we'll leave."

She nodded as they walked through the large and slightly bent interior door. There was dead guards and several dead prisoners on the open ground. No one was in the towers she saw or on the walls. A couple of ghouls got up from the ground only to go down as they both cut them before they could stand. A few more hacks and slashes took out a few more that were getting up or just woke up.

"What's that, like a dozen?" she muttered.

"Only 280 something to go."

As they approached the entrance and saw the door hanging by its hinges with a dead guard hanging out of the other doors window, half his body missing, they had to stop and step back quickly as moans and groans filled the air. And then a few dozen ghouls came rushing towards them.

Alucard was using a lot of ammo to take everything that came near him out. Even a couple undead dogs. His problem was he was beginning to run out of ammo. Sure he had at most ten or so clips for each gun, but there was way many more enemies than he had ammo for. Putting his weapons away, he laughed maniacally and he released his control art restriction to level one. Soon bodies were flying and dying quickly. He could tell that the other two were in a different level in a different area and doing a rather good job of holding their own.

Being ghouls and hit with silver made it easy to avoid stepping on bodies since they turned to ash. However, they were also being attacked by homicidal and or totally deranged and psychotic humans that were locked in this place for the heavier and more evil crimes. Since she had a little problem with killing actually humans, he usually did that while she took on the ghouls.

Currently, they were in the middle of what was possibly a cafeteria. Most of the chairs and tables were either broken, tossed aside or still stacked against the walls. Very few lights were on in the place really giving it a much more horrific sense and scene. There was a couple of lights on, but one of the bulbs was broken making the one next to it sputter as they stood under it as it swung back and forth. There was ash all around them along with blood, plus being on them as well. She had been bitten once on the arm, but managed to knock and kill the ghoul before he took a chunk out. The General was faring better, mostly because he was hitting anything that came in range, except her. Which was rather easy since they were staying back to back. The sounds of the ghouls wailing and occasionally dying when stuck, along with the shuffling of feet and the sounds of ghouls eating someone or something filled the air. A few other lights that swung back and forth occasionally flickered here and there showing the mass numbers they were really facing, though she saw them more than he did. One of his lenses had been broken in a fall so only one lens was actually allowing him to see in night vision.

"So, Alucard came to talk to me the other day." he said taking a swing with his main sword and cutting two of them in half. The sword in his other hand he used to decapitate a nearby ghoul as it got too close.

"Master actually talked to you instead of smacking you around like he does sometimes?" she said stabbing one in the chest really hard and then pushing back sending him into a bunch of others. "I find that rather surprising."

He turned to dust as she fired a few rounds hitting three more in the head making them join the growing ash piles.

"Surprised me too. I thought he was going to attack me again, but instead he said no. He told me he had been looking at the library books Hellsing has that only he and Integra still knew how to read." he said cutting down a few more. "I told him what Mel'thena said and he believes that if you did want to get pregnant, it would require you asking for your freedom first. From there, it would probably….."

"Take me concentrating on having it take place." she said slicing two that got real close and shooting another in the head. "I have to admit, not having a period anymore is a bonus."

"Yeah. Don't have to buy all those female products either."

"Another bonus besides the cramps and other PMS problems."

"He also said he scanned your mind like he usually does…"

"I know when he is there. He's been checking on us occasionally since we entered." she said taking out four more and dropping the spent clip only to replace it quickly and almost literally dice four more guys that charged her.

"I thought I felt something." he said cutting three more in half with one blade and two with the other. "I know we've been busy, but I am willing to listen to anything you want to talk about or get off your chest….I mean back or mind."

She ignored what he said, as to the small joke he wasn't meaning to make and took out three more before shooting five quickly.

"I can't think of anything that I wish to keep from you."

"Alucard said you've been thinking about asking for your freedom to pursue having a child with me." he said stabbing a guy into the pole as they had moved closer.

Using his main blade, he cut the few that rushed him and then with his pistol fired into the mass group taking out over a dozen as the bullets cut through them rapidly and ended up in the walls or finally in a body. The ones that had taken the hits either to the head or chest area turned to dust quickly while the few that had only took glancing shot that basically ripped sections off their body kept coming forward. He took better aim and emptied his clip taking out several more before sticking the empty gun into its holster and pulling the sword from the pole.

"I admit, I have been. But I'm not sure if I am really ready." she said cutting a couple more down.

"I'm pretty much ready when you are." he said slicing a guy in half with both blades and then slashing away two that jumped from him.

"What about Sir Integra? I don't think she would really care or maybe she would. Even if she agreed to let me try, I don't want to put you into a position of playing favorites with ours and her child."

"They would grow up like brothers and sisters. Depending on what she and you have. I think Integra is going to have a boy. At least that's what little I heard from the doctors speculation." he said swiping away three more.

"It's it a bit early to detect that?"

"Yeah, but Alucard did something so the doctors are taking his word for it."

"God, this is becoming endless." she said swinging and only managing to get two of the three that advanced.

"I know. We can't retreat to anywhere and even though it would be a good idea to blast out way through, we can't reload quick enough for them to not get on us before then." he said cutting down two more. "So, between the three of us and Walter helping somewhat, I feel we could easily raise a child together along with Integra's. One way of putting it, the baby will have someone to interact with and eventually better social skills will develop because they will have someone they are in the same age group with while growing up."

"I see what you're saying." she said emptying her clip and cutting down two more. "That's seven more gone out of who knows how many. Our child and hers may notice each others difference because of…the different mothers, but you're thinking your genes will make them get along better. Sort of like a recognition."

"I would be raising them both." he said cutting five down quickly while she cut down another three making it so they were getting about ankle deep in ash. "The only problem is that I can't feed them, so unless you and Integra use a breast pump and let me hold them both and feed them that way so you both get some sleep…"

"I'm not even sure if I can produce milk or not anymore." she said realizing that part of motherhood. "Oh god, if I can't, I'd have to ask Integra to…"

He turned around and cut down a enemy that got to close as he notice she turned around to face him only to cut a couple down that got to close to his back. Now they were back to back again seeing as speaking face to face was out of the question currently.

"I know Integra has breast. The wedding dress alone attested to the fact. She just hides them well under those suits. Not that I am interesting in seeing them mind you. I know they will grow because it just happens during and after childbirth."

"Great, that means I will outgrow my uniform rather quickly. Bad enough they feel squished sometimes as it is." she said taking a lengthy swing and doing a few quick zig zags as he moved doing a similar attack to make sure their backs stayed to each other.

Another dozen or so dropped into a pile of ash as she stood waiting for the next ones to come forward.

"I think we've thinned the lines quiet a bit. How you feeling?"

"Worried. I'll probably have to drink more to compensate for the back pain I'll get when I start growing from getting pregnant and then the fact my breast will become grossly huge." she said cutting a few more down.

"Your belly will grow, but you should have control over your breast size. Shape shifting is a vampire power, remember?" he said cutting another two down. "This is getting to be really boringly repetitive. Reminds me of a game I played once. The enemies kept coming for over and hour and when I finally decided to move forward, they just stopped coming."

"I know what you mean." she said slicing a few more. "I see them everywhere. How did we even get to this point?"

"Just walking the halls and then we slowly got cornered in here." he said swiping away another foe.

"Do you really think we'd be able to handle having a child of our own along with the child Integra has?" she said kicking one that got to close as she stabbed another in the head.

"I don't think anyone in this place is still alive."

"I don't smell anyone alive, except you."

They stayed back to back as they had been and took out another couple dozen before talking again.

"So?"

"So…oh, um, yeah, I am sure we could handle it. Or, if you are meaning, can I handle it, yes. I've been able to stay up five days in a row before, and that was because of the danger I was in. War thing. Staying up with a couple of babies isn't that hard. Done it before many times."

"What do you mean?" she asked beheading two at one time.

"Most of them were friends who had babies that trusted me to hold them while they slept. I've been around many babies and helped them grow, at least been there as they grew like Integra. When her father was really busy and her mother was too tired to take care of her at the moment, she was given to me. She liked me quite a bit. Unfortunate that she doesn't have that happy smile like she used to. Point is, I do have experience."

"Did you ever raise one of your own, as adopt or something close?" she asked slicing through the ghoul that grabbed her blade to try and stop her attack.

"Once. Found a baby in a village that got burned down or attacked, not really sure. Couple thousand years ago. She was cute and live to be twenty…..something. Some disease back then took her life." he said sadly.

Seras felt through their telepathic connection he was pushing away the memories to avoid the extreme sadness of the day she died. It was short, but she saw part of his memories of her dying in his arms and he having to bury her. And for a long time, like many other former family and friends he had, he used to bring a flower to their grave. Unfortunately, the years that had passed in many areas of the world had made it impossible for him to do so to a lot of them since many of those areas were now populated or destroyed, or the area was too different for him to remember exactly where the body had been buried. Though not her memories, she did feel the pain of the many losses, as briefly as he had let it take him for that moment.

"But I could do it and will do it." he said striking out hard in a moment of anger that cut the ghoul in half and made the two body parts fall back into a bunch of other ghouls before turning to dust. "The loss of seeing them die hurts worst than I can even describe, but the time and memories you have with them while they live are worth every minute."

"I see an opening." she said changing the subject as she felt his anger turning to rage from the pain he wasn't really letting go of. "Keep your back to mine and we'll make it."

She swung hard and fast taking out several ghouls as she took a few steps forward. He, using two swords, was doing a great job of keeping them off her sides and his as he spun them around quickly in a figure 8 as several jumped for them as they moved forward. She noticed his blades on either side and was thankful in that moment she wasn't as broad in the shoulders or as tall, otherwise, he'd probably had hit her as well. A couple minutes later, they made it into a hallway that lead to a door. She quickly kicked the door in and they both rushed into the room. He turned around and kicked the door shut slamming it on a couple ghouls. A few arms and a couple legs fell off the ghouls as they kicked it a few more times denting it further and jamming it shut. It wouldn't hold them for long, but long enough.

"Prison block." she said seeing the open cells on the three story room. "I don't sense or smell anyone."

"Alucard been in here?"

"No. Master is on the other side. Either the Freaks are really hiding out well or they are trying to take out Master."

"We should have at least seen one by now." he said reloading as she was too.

The door was being banged on hard and starting to give slowly as they glanced around. The lights were on in the ceiling above where even on the third floor it was difficult to even try to get to them normally. A few were broken or hanging by a couple of wires, but there was enough left that the General was finally able to see without needing the night vision.

"There is a door that I think leads to the outside yard." she said pointing. "That other one looks like it leads further into the prison."

"Help me with this."

Confused, she helped him rip the cell door off and then realized what his plan was as he looked at the door. No counting was necessary as they ran up and with their combine strength shoving the cell door, flat wise, into the other door. It bent the door and went even into and through the concrete wall. She folded it up like rolling a sleeping bag and it looked like it was going to give them a bit more time to, regroup.

"What do you see out there?"

"The yard is completely dark and the exercise equipment is knocked around or destroyed. Only a few ghouls out there, but if any are on the walls, I can't tell."

He walked over to look through the glass covered metal screen in the other door to see a long hallway. More blood and a few bodies just like where they were and outside in the yard were present, but no movement. At least the lights in the long hallway were more intact than any other place they had found so far.

"Any ideas other than doing what we were doing before?" she asked.

"Not really." he said looking up.

"Going up isn't a bad idea, but they could just jump up and get to us then. Well, if they can get close enough." she said.

The door burst down sending the rolled up cell door skittering across the floor as they started to pour in quickly.

"I guess we are out of options other than to fight." he said as they turned from the door leading further in.

The door leading outside also burst down and a few ghouls came in towards them.

"At least we can fight better this way without having to watch our backs." she said cutting down two that came too close.

"I have an idea. The room is big enough. We charge through them and head outside. Once they are out there, we can run around better cutting through them quickly." he splitting two down the middle.

"Just remember not to hit me." she said swing at another couple like he was.

"I can sense when you are near. Don't worry. On the count of three."

One three, they pushed forward slicing and dicing quickly. None of the ghouls could even try to get a hand or finger on them as they killed a couple dozen quickly as they ran towards to former door and then ran back going outside. Helicopters above were shining lights down around the area outside and occasionally inside when one of the lights spotted them. It stayed on them as another light from a helicopter nearby shined on the doorway they came out of. As Seras and the General were slowly backing up with their weapons at ready, several dozen ghouls came out quickly.

"Here, use this blade as well. The handle is the only safe part." he said giving her the blade from the bottom of the main blade that had the handle built into it. "Touch it anywhere else and you'll get burned."

She holstered her gun and took the blade gently as she watched him pull the serrated blade from the top of the main sword.

"On three then?" she asked as they kept backing up. "The wall is only a few more feet away."

"You go left and I'll go right. Watch out for things lying around though."

The light stayed on them and then suddenly they disappeared. It began looking around for them as the other light was looking at the doorway as ghouls kept coming out and then stopped. The other light also searched around not finding anything of the two. It took a moment for the men in the choppers to realize what was going on as they noticed the ghouls in different locations turning to dust. It took another moment for one of the chopper guys to realize that the ghouls were dying in places were there lights had just been. Both sets of lights shown in one area and suddenly the General was there slicing and dicing as the enemy came at him.

He was using the lights to help him fight, going after enemies he could see, just slicing his way through anything in his way heading for the light. As long as he kept looking at the light, he could see the ghouls in his way. Seras was avoiding the light after seeing his plan in his head. So she was basically taking them out around near the walls. Seeing the light on him and the ghouls moving towards him since the lights were now focused on his area, she quickly moved through a vast majority of them as the General stayed in one place cutting down any that he could see that got close. After a few minutes, she suddenly appeared next to him.

"Okay, I'm starting to get hungry now." she said feeling a little fatigued.

As they lowered their swords, the lights looked around only to find piles of ash everywhere. When they went back to where the two were suppose to be, they found no one. Checking the yard over several times, they didn't see anything and figured the two went back in to finish the job.

Walter was being given reports from Captain Ferguson who got them from the S.A.S. officer in charge on the scene. Integra was standing nearby listening in.

"The S.A.S. men around the perimeter of the building have yet to report seeing any ghouls or otherwise outside the prison. However, they have heard multiple gun shots that stopped about half an hour ago. Five minutes ago, two people fitting the description of Sir General and Miss Victoria were seen inside the yard fighting a mass of ghouls. The helicopter pilots didn't see where the two went but figure they went back inside to finish the job Sir Integra." Ferguson said.

"Any mention of their condition?" she asked.

"From what little they were able to see, both our people looked fine. If they were injured, it didn't seem to show. All things considered Sir Integra, I doubt they walk out with any injury."

"I agree. However, things can go bad, even for Alucard sometimes. Though he walks away from it in the end winning. Keep us apprised."

"Yes Sir Integra."

The two had gone back inside and found no undead. They stopped in a cell that wasn't totally damaged or full of blood, on the lower level and closed the door. He sat down on the thankfully clean bed and reach into his pocket.

"Thank god that's over." he said opening the king sized Hershey bar. "I am hungry too."

"I was beginning to think that they were never going to stop coming. And that is so unfair. I really miss chocolate."

"You'll get your share in a moment."

"My share won't taste as sweet. Well…it does and doesn't." she said shrugging as she leaned her sword against the wall.

He finished the bar and then put his sword back together.

"Okay. After this, I'll just need a minute and we can move out."

She nodded as he lowered the coat and then tilted his head.

"Wait…"

"What?" she asked as he gently grabbed her face.

Instead of answering, he kissed her deeply, which she returned even more passionately. It lasted a good minute before he backed off.

"That better not have been a just in case kiss." she said as she tried to ignore the feelings of wanting to kiss him again and do more than that. She could also tell he wanted the same and that was more a physical feeling than the telepathic bond.

"Never. No offense, but I don't like kissing you when there has been blood in your mouth."

"That's why I always carry one of these." she said fishing out a small travel sized mouthwash bottle from her pocket.

"Ah, that's why you seem minty fresh. How much do you need?"

"I'm only going to do it for nine seconds. I probably could use more, but…."

"Don't want me fighting fatigue in the middle of battle."

After she got what she needed, he sat back pulling his collar back up as she washed her mouth out and spit in the sink nearby.

"Sense anything?"

"Master has taken out a lot of ghouls and his having fun using his power to cause a lot of destruction. He says there is one Freak left, the leader ironically. However, he is in our location or somewhere close. He wants us to take him out, or I should say, he wants me to do it."

"I guess I'll just watch all that training I did then go to work." he said smiling.

They heard several moans and saw a few ghouls enter from the broken door. Noticing them, they headed over quickly.

"I've got this." she said as they started pushing on the closed door.

A very hard quick kick sent the cell door and a couple of ghouls flying across the room. They slammed into the adjacent cell and were slowly getting up. She quickly killed the other seven with her sword before shooting the other two in the cell.

"I'm ready." he said walking out with his sword.

Going off through the other door, it was eerily quiet. Other than dripping water somewhere, they heard little and saw even less.

"All the ghouls must be dead." she muttered. "I don't hear anything moving. Not even a rat."

"When you are ready to gain your freedom, I'll be behind you one hundred percent. From there, we just make love and you concentrate I guess."

"I wonder if I would even make a good mother." she muttered as they arrived near a office like area that branched off going to the morgue and infirmary and the other direction heading back towards the front of the building.

"Seras, I think you would be a great mother." he said turning to her as he stuck his sword into the ground while keeping hold with his right hand. His left hand lifted her chin so he could see her eyes and then he placed it on her shoulder. "You are a very kind and loving person. Even with everything that has happened to you over all these years, even after I've shown up, you've kept that mentality and it has made you a stronger person."

"You really think so?"

"I believe it with all my heart Seras. Don't tell Integra I said this, but in many ways, I don't think she'll be a really great mother like you will be. She's so….hard and strict about everything that if a mistake happens, depending on the severity, she'll either yell, explode or give an outrageous punishment."

"I see what you mean. I would make a good mother wouldn't I?"

"A great mother. Even though you are technically really young, you have seen enough and have enough experience to raise a child the right way, and have fun with them as well. One thing we could look forward to is the cuddling. I seriously doubt that Integra would want to even try that, where as we, would be able to lay in bed with our loving child between us."

She smiled brightly at the thought and felt tears of joy well up at his charming smile.

"There is only one problem I can see with that." she said as they hugged.

"What's that?" he said putting his face in her hair that smelled slightly of strawberries.

"We would have to stop sleeping naked anymore until he or she got older."

He laughed lightly as she did as well.

"Which would you prefer to have?" she asked as they decided to walk to the infirmary to check it out.

"Girl."

"Hmm, why's that?"

"Always wanted a girl. Especially after…" he said trailing off.

"And with Sir Integra?"

"Either or. Though preferably a boy."

"Let me guess, it's so she wouldn't have to do what Sir Integra had to do."

"Yes. If we have a daughter, she'll have a choice with her life. Integra's child will not because…"

"They will inherit the Hellsing Organization." she said nodding.

"That and I look at it as a way of having the real experience of raising both a boy and girl I helped conceive."

The doors to the infirmary were missing and the place was totally trashed. Nothing had escaped the destruction. The morgue was in worst shape. Dead bodies that had been frozen were all taken out and either tossed and/or eaten on. They found the former doctors bodies torn apart in here, blood wasn't as scattered though and the doctors weren't turned. A nurse was dead on a damaged bed, her throat ripped open and her blood almost completely drained. Even though she was completely naked, the General walked over and closed her eyes noticing that she had been raped, probably more than once. Seras grabbed a slightly bloodied sheet off the floor and helped cover her.

"Poor girl." Seras said.

"At least she wasn't turned." he said as they looked around and then left heading back to the office area.

"It would have been better if she had been. Then she wouldn't have been raped. And from the smell of it, rather recently too." she said as they saw the office area up ahead.

"She was a good fuck for a dead woman! Once I kill you man, I'll have fun with this bitch too!"

They both turned around to find a six foot three, dark haired and practically naked Freak several feet away from them. The guy was built like a linebacker or wrestler. He was wearing extremely stained gray boxer like underwear that didn't conceal the fact of what he had been up to recently. He grinned evilly at them as he bared his fangs and gave her a lusty look too. She only looked at him in disgust and revulsion. If she had still been human, she would be puking. There was blood all over his hands up to his elbows and on his face. Then again, if she was human, she wouldn't even be here.

"Oh, an ass like that…" he said leeringly as he took a step forward. "I've been watching you both for awhile now. Hearing everything that was said. A vampire and human in love. How fucking pathetic! And wanting a child? That's shameful!"

Both of them were pissed. But between the two of them, it was really hard to tell which of them was more angry. Possibly, through their link it was strengthening the effect and going from beyond pissed to rage. The Freak laughed and then snapped his fingers. A few ghouls showed up from in the office and several came running up from the different hallways behind them. In total there was probably 20 at most. These ghouls were carrying weapons though. Metal poles, a few guns, knives, or some large object that was once part of a table or chair.

"I saved the best for last! They can keep you occupied while I enjoy this piece of hot ass…."

"SOD OFF!!!" the two yelled loudly.

One moment they were there in front of him and the next they were right in front of him as they both impaled him in the heart.

She pulled up while he pulled down cutting him in half quickly. He didn't even have time to scream or cry out in pain. He just turned to dust on their blades and then the ghouls all fell down and died as they quickly rushed around taking them out before they could move.

"Bloody pig." she muttered as she put her sword away and then rubbed her arms. "I feel dirty, hell, I feel filthy just from everything he said. And he didn't even touch me. I swear I just got raped by his wandering eyes and words alone! And he wanted my ass.."

"Letting them get to you like that…."

The General jumped and being in his current anger state, swung around with his sword as quick as he could with the intent of killing someone. Alucard reached out and grabbed the large hilt before the blade hit his arm.

"Is exactly what they want to do police girl. Get under your skin and make you loose control." Alucard said as she looked away. "Nice try General, but you're not that fast."

"You keep sneaking up on me like that and one of these days either this sword or my gun is going to make its mark."

"Why do you do that Master? Why do you attack him?"

"Because it is fun." he said laughing as he let go of the sword as the General lowered it. "And it keeps him on his guard. One of these days, it might not be me that does something like this, but a Freak or another real vampire. Hopefully, my advances will save him then because he'll know to react sooner."

"How often does he do this?"

"A few times a week. Never when you are around." he muttered as he put the sword on his back. "We done or is there more out there?"

"The enemy has been defeated. He was the last." he said waving at the dust pile. "Good night."

He vanished through the wall laughing as they stared.

"He only said that because by the time we get home, he'll be asleep." she muttered as they headed for the entrance.

"How long have we been at this?" he asked wearily.

"I think three hours. I hope Sir Integra won't be mad at us taking so long."

"We did most of the work and seeing as you don't have half the powers Alucard has much less really want them, we had little choice in fighting the way we did." he said brushing his coat off. "God, we are covered in blood and ash."

"And just when I thought I couldn't feel any more disgusted." she said as she also looked at herself.

She drove back, seeing as he was rather tired. After getting that ugly snake incident off world, his blood now had a, more energetic effect on her than before. Seemed to also enhance her abilities too, though it could be she was just getting better at using them. Alucard was in fact asleep when they got back and the two were rather surprised to find out that Integra thought, other than they did a great job to contain the situation, but that they finished before she thought the mission would be over. She expected it to take long because Alucard liked to drag battles out if he could to have more fun. Seeing as the Freaks had sent most of the ghouls after the two of them as Alucard said, it got the job done quicker. Since there was nothing else to tell her or any other missions, and being about four hours till morning arrived, she had them go to bed to get the rest they would need to get back to work on the construction and such, or possible mission. They just took a shower and then went to sleep. She gave them six hours of rest and then had Walter wake them to get back to work. Unfortunately, work wasn't something they were going to do. Someone decided to pay a visit to the Hellsing Manor, and Integra was worried. She'd rather have the Organization under attack at this moment.

"Wonder what Sir Integra wants?" Seras muttered as they walked up the stairs.

"Probably another change in the plans, or add on again."

"Her tone of voice didn't sound like that on the phone."

"Miss Victoria, Sir General." he said bowing slightly.

"Walter…" he growled as they walked up to her office door and noticed a couple Royal Guardsmen standing on either side of the door. "What's with the Royal Guards?"

"The Queen is here wishes to speak to you, Seras and Sir Integra."

"Too much firepower here?" he asked. "I did think it was a little overboard, but considering what we fight.…"

"No. It concerns the Round Table conference the other day."

Seras wasn't there but was told of what had happened. She didn't like the fact she was being watched, but wasn't that surprised either. At least no one actually saw anything, at least her. Walter opened the door and let them inside. Integra was seated in a chair with the two other chairs next to her. The Queen was sitting behind the desk looking out the window. Integra was in her pea green suit while Seras was in her uniform. The General was wearing his coat and a silver colored suit. It wasn't flashy like some of those pimps wear, it was just silver thread and slightly flashy. He sat in the middle chair and then noticed he had both women on either side. When the Queen turned around, she did not have a happy look on her face.

"Sir General, Miss Victoria."

"Your Majesty." the two said bowing slightly.

She didn't say anything else and Seras kept still only to look at her hands after being stared at. Integra was doing the same the General noticed so he broke the silence not noticing that the Queen was starting to speak.

"Walter informs me that you are here because of the Round Table conference. I have a pretty good idea of why you are here ma'am."

"Really?" she said sitting back and crossing her hands on her lap.

"The members showed you all that evidence and other stuff."

"Yes. They did. Your evidence showed much more important issues that are being dealt with as we speak. Treason is just about unforgivable. What you three have done is almost as worse. Lying to me, to god himself!"

Integra's head shot up as did Seras when the General spoke.

"I doubt you'll forgive me your Majesty, but I have dealt with many, monarchs over my many years. They tend to all have the same problem. Even though women have been given more rights, especially in America, royal families and the like haven't seemed to caught up with that. Like yours."

"I beg your pardon?!" the Queen said leaning forward.

"How much do you know or, no, what is it that you think is really going on here?"

"That you are committing adultery! That you lied about your vows! That you are sleeping with Miss Victoria and Sir Integra! What's more, I know she knows you are doing it!" she yelled.

"Your Majesty, I came back here to work for Arthur Hellsing but found Integra in charge so now I am fulfilling a promise to Arthur. And marrying Integra is part of the promise to protect her. I would not have done so, if you and the rest of the Round Table had shut up…" he said getting shocked gasp and surprise from all three women. "Or had given Integra a better option instead of forcing her to choose."

The three were still stunned, more Seras and Integra who thought the Queen was about to order his execution any moment. Or have Integra order Alucard come do it himself. He leaned forward slightly and pointed a finger.

"That's the problem with having a monarch society. The men can look and say, I want to marry her. Things work out with talks and or giving of items, land, etc. Guess what, she ends up with someone she barely knows or probably does and doesn't like, or perhaps, very rarely, she ends up with someone she likes. The point is, women have freedom, but not enough. Even you had to marry someone you probably barely knew. The previous Queen wasn't thrilled being forced either, or it was the one before that. The point is, we are here at this point because of you your Majesty. I've been with Seras since day one that I started here. Our relationship didn't, consummate till later, well before you finally forced the issue on Sir Integra. Half those people on the list would, and I mean it exactly as it sounds, rape her on their first night together." he said tapping the desk with his finger. "For him, it would be okay because, hey, he just married her. For her, it would be complete and total rape. And I know a few of them would had beat her if she fought back. You saw the info I gave you and what most of them would have had done to this place if she had married any of them. They would have taken this place and turned it into something that couldn't do what it is doing now. Integra gained her respect from everyone here through hard work. Those men would just demand it."

"That doesn't excuse…." she began in a very angry tone.

It startled them when he stood up and slammed his hands on the desk. He grabbed the letter opener and tossed it at the door as the knob started to turn. It embedded into the wood at the right place keeping the door from opening as he turned back to the startled Queen after yelling stay out.

"Sir Integra never wanted anyone in her life! And you know it! We've discussed this back when I started with her. She has better things to do than deal with a man and a child while trying to save this country! Now, had you given her a better choice, say, go out and look for someone, even if it was some commoner on the street, say a banker, musician, or even a store clerk. Told her to go find someone because she, yes, does need an heir, had you given her the choice of finding someone she would come to like and love, things wouldn't be where they are right now. You could have even given her a year to look. That's plenty of time to find someone. Instead, you live with the same archaic rules where people like her and in those high royal places have to marry anyone that is in that category. Which, while it can keep countries from wars, it doesn't do that now days. I guarantee that if I had not decided to marry Integra to give you want you wanted, the heir, I would be fired, or dead. Correction. I'd be in trouble for having had killed whoever wanted me dead and possibly any person that tried to do it, say if the soldiers were ordered like I'm sure they would have been! Integra agreed to marry me because it was the best thing to save her legacy and to keep England safe from the evils out there."

The Queen looked at Integra who nodded slowly while still in shock at the fact that the General was in the Queens face.

"I wanted a child of my own, and you wanted a heir, so it worked in both our favors. I have been with Integra once and that's all she wanted to give, which was fine with me. We got lucky on the first and only try. Yes, I plan on helping her raise the child, because it is mine. But being a husband to her, she doesn't want. I will be there for her when she calls or needs me, but the way you want, she doesn't. I am staying with Seras because we love each other, but because of what she is, we know that we couldn't get married even though I consider Seras and I married. Integra knew that and seeing as there is very few people that can be told about everything that is currently taking place between us three and what really happens, I figured I had nothing to lose helping Sir Integra."

Rage was in the Queens eyes as she took everything he said while he sat back down.

"Now, we can either forget this incident every happened, or…we could create more problems."

"Such as?" the Queen asked icily.

"I can tell you are pissed off at me. Few if any people yell at the Queen, or any royal family member and get away with it. I was a King for a short while. I tried to make things better, no slaves, women's rights. Got overthrown quickly and civil war broke out. I know how the game is played. If you wish to annul our marriage, you can. I can't stop that. You can have me exiled from the country. I can't stop that either. However, you try to have me executed, and I guarantee that it will be a blood bath that will be your hands." he said with a tone that Integra and Seras had heard from Alucard before. "There is only two people that can take me on, one of which I am sure that she would rather burn first. As for Alucard…."

"He would destroy you." Integra said with nervousness in her voice.

"We'd kill each other probably. I can take him. Seras can attest to the words that I said that hurt her physically. She's lucky I didn't say different ones otherwise she would have turned to ash instantly."

Integra was surprised and it showed. Her father mentioned that there was certain words or incantations as they could be called that could hurt, injure or kill evil creatures. She knew some, but none of the instant death ones. However she couldn't recall the General or Seras ever saying anything about the fact he used that ability. She didn't teach him the ones she knew because they were practically useless. Against Freaks, they had no real effect, well, it depended. Ghouls, it also depended. Werewolves, it could do something. Against real vampires, it depended on their power. Seras, yeah, Integra could recite what she would need to protect herself. Against Alucard, it would be like throwing garlic powder in his face, just piss him off unless she used the right ones. But there was some she didn't know that were dangerous, incantations, which would work on Alucard at the cost of her own life. But she didn't know them personally since her father didn't teach her the words.

"My point is your Majesty, and I do apologize for my outburst and everything else that has been said. But this has all happened because you forced her to decide. Yes, we did say the vows and are technically married by law, but we didn't mean the vows."

The Queen rubbed her hands together as she thought. He was right, the issue was forced. Normally, the Round Table didn't say much about Integra and her single status. But after the General ended up at Hellsing, they started to ask her about it more and more. Eventually she agreed with them that Integra needed to have a child before it was too late. Now that she thought about it more and more, the video footage and sound tapes they showed her really centered on Miss Victoria. Though she wasn't seen on the tapes, the people who were watching her and recording what Seras did made comments about what they saw her doing. Since day one of her arrival. Some of the voice recordings were of her inside the Hellsing Manor. Including a few of her and Alucard. When the General arrived, more sounds tapes were taken along with video footage and lots of comments. Even them getting together in her bed was recorded, at least the sounds, which she avoided after the first couple of minutes into it. There was a lot of those and she was still trying to find out which perverted freak did the recording. Which reminded her that she needed to tell Integra that her house was bugged. She went over the evidence that the General had given her and realized something. A few of the members of the Round Table knew who he was from years ago. Arthur Hellsing had the General working for him at the time and some of those members tried to get certain things done at the time that Arthur didn't do because the General told him not to. This was definitely a revenge thing that they tried to pull, not only to get at the General, but to also take Integra out of power. There was quite a few members who, behind Integra's back, said that she shouldn't have control, despite the fact of her really great record at stopping more countless deaths. She looked up at the three seeing them looking at her and waiting for whatever she had planned.

"Your apology is accepted General, however, you shall be punished for your outburst. I can only partially understand what you have had to endure from other people like me in my position. I let my anger and judgment get the better of me before looking over all the evidence from both sides. While I do not accept what you three are doing, I will not condone it either. Sir Arthur Hellsing was once asked to do some, favors of sorts back before and after Integra was born. Some of these, favors, were tossed aside or given complete disregard by Arthur, because of your advice at the time General. When you arrived here, and then it came to the attention of certain people who you exactly where, these few people who I believe are dealt with managed to get most of the Round Table to agree and talked me into forcing the marriage issue. I believe it was an attempt to get what they wanted back then done, done now. Had one of the list candidates managed to marry Sir Integra, you would be dead, or exiled or in prison, depending on whoever took over this place and…we shall say, dethroned Sir Integra. Whether or not this place would turn into a battle ground against the royal family I cannot say. There was one man who wanted to use Alucard to kill all of the royal family and eventually take over the world. Knowing what little I have seen and been told about Alucard, he would probably relish the thought of untold death and destruction. A few others wanted him to start doing assassinations since he could do it without being caught or stopped. Again, I doubt he would say no."

"So…." the General asked calmly.

"Seeing as I can tell you do not want power over the Hellsing Organization, you shall never have it. Unless Sir Integra is unable for illness or attack or dies. The child shall inherit and continue the tradition of taking care of England against evil creatures. Any Royalties shall also be extended to this child as well and, if it happens, any further children. However, they shall not be for you. That shall be your punishment."

"Does that mean I loose my Knighthood status? If so, I don't mind."

"Because of appearances sake, you will continue to be, in public, her husband and Sir General Hellsing. Once Integra has passed on, through whatever means it happens to be, your Knighthood shall be taken away only then. You will be able to see your child or children and any grandchildren and any children from then on. I should revoke even that because you have broken a holy vow, however, I will not. Many reasons come to mind that I do not have time to explain. How many people know of this arrangement?"

"Walter and Alucard your Majesty." Integra said. "The troops and other people working here have no idea. Seeing as the house is mostly empty to begin with, no one notices when the General has stayed in Seras's quarters."

"Doesn't Captain Ferguson know Sir Integra?" Seras asked.

"Oh yes. I forgot he knows as well. He wasn't thrilled with the idea when I told him what was truly happening, but he felt it was a wise decision considering the circumstances." Integra said.

"The less people know about this, situation, the better. I will handle everything at the palace myself." she said standing up. "We will talk more later on this subject if the need arises."

The other three stood and bowed.

"I am sorry for all the trouble I have caused you your Majesty. I never intended for any problems to occur like this." Integra said sincerely.

"All in all Sir Integra, though I do not like how this, arrangement is taking place, it worked out for the better. The traitor will be dealt with, the others will be punished and you will finally have a child. For that alone, I am pleased." she said.

"Once again, I do apologize for my bluntness, but I do not take back what I said." he said bowing.

She nodded to them and then walked out after the General removed the letter opener, with her guards following.

"Walter…" she said as he entered.

"Yes Sir Integra."

"How much did you hear?"

"All of it. The guards had their earplugs in the entire time as she had ordered of them."

"Then why did they try to come in?" Seras asked.

"Even I felt the slamming of the Generals hands on Sir Integra's desk Miss Victoria."

"Oh."

"I will need some aspirin Walter." she said rubbing her nose.

"And your tea as well?"

"No. I am going back to bed for the day. For once, the stress of everything has became too much for me to handle at this moment and this migraine isn't going to go away until I have gotten some rest. Seeing as there is no missions, I can take the day off." she said turning to the General. "General…."

"I'll pay for the damage to the door."

"Right. However, that is not what I was about to say. Since I am going back to bed, you will have to attend to, my normal duties. For today at least. Walter will tell you want needs to be done. Consider it as, punishment from me for yelling at her Majesty. Wise as your words were, yelling in her face is not something I will even do."

"Yes ma'am." he said in defeat as he saw the look on her face.

"Miss Victoria will have to work on helping the others around the house and outside. Follow Walters instructions to the letter, do not try to, cut corners." she said heading for the door. "Oh, and if when I look things over tomorrow, I see that you did a bad job, you will do my job tomorrow as well until you get it right. Eventually, I will not be able to move as much and you'll be doing it anyway and then reporting the events each night. Am I clear?"

"Yes Sir Integra." he said nodding.

"Good."

Once she and Walter left, he sat down in her chair for the first time and sighed.

"What have I got myself into?"

"A lot of trouble?" Seras said as more of a suggesting tone that had a huge hint of humor behind it.

"You are not helping."

"Sorry. Paper work was never my thing anyway." she said and then her voice turned into a very sweet tone as she tapped her index fingertips together. "You're not going to give me a massive work load since you won't be there are you?"

"I forgot about that. Um…keep it light the best you can. I'm tired just from thinking about what Walter might give me to do."

She sweetly said thanks and then left as Walter waved for her to leave.

"Let's see what we have to start with. Hmm, signing paperwork." Walter said with a slight evil grin.

"I'm trying to think of something I can do to get back at you." he said leaning on the desk with one arm.

"Why?"

"Because you know I am a faster reader than her and could probably do a lot of her work I've seen much quicker and more efficiently. Which means you'll have me doing things to help her get caught up or at least to give her a bit more free time during the day."

"Really?" he said feigning ignorance. "That hadn't occurred to me at all. I'll have to see what I can find to help Sir Integra get that free time."

"And if you start trying to call me Sir, I will call you…"

"I know." he said as he started naming off her normal schedule and what had to be done.

Even though he wanted to quit, to help make up for having the Queen over and mad at Integra and him, he did a lot of her normal work even to the point Seras had already went to bed. As had Walter. The next morning, Integra looked over everything he had done, and was quite pleased. So, depending on what might be happening that week, he was to take two of those days each week to do her job giving her a full two days off each week. Usually Tuesday and Thursdays. And depending on how much needed to be done that day would depend on if he came in for a hour or so to help get rid of some of the work load. Eventually he would be doing it for a month if he was lucky, two if unlucky. The closer she got towards the end of carrying the child and getting ready for giving birth, the less energy she'd have depending on things.
