Chapter Sixteen-"Total Destruction"
Seras bolted into the chamber and froze, a look of terror and fear creeping to her face. There lying in a heap of his own blood was her master. Alucard's head continued to bleed from his eyes, ears, nose and mouth. Seras ran to him, "Master!" she shouted crouching to him. Victor chuckled, his eyes flashing as he rose his index finger and shook it. "Tch tch tch. Now now Ms. Victoria it would be an awful fate if you were to join him. Watch as your beloved Alucard plummets into the pits of Hell." he uttered but Seras ignored him. Holding Alucard's head she shook it tenderly. "Come on now master, you've got to get up. You can just pull yourself together and continue to fight right? This can't be the end. Master...please...get up. Master. Master! MASTER!" Seras shouted. Alucard despite having no body managed to babble his final words. "Se..ras...remember all that I taught you...you must be on your now..." he muttered before his eyes closed. Tears swelled in Seras' eyes as she rocked gently cradling his head before lying on her side curled in a fetal position. "Master...you can't be gone. You big jerk, how can you leave me all by myself?" she whispered in his ear. Victor laughed, a horrifying cackle that echoed in the room. Clenching his fist he sighed. "The great vampire Alucard is no more. I shall commence the final preparations in restoring the Nephilim. I won't kill you, I'll spare you to a more horrible fate." he said turning and walking out. Seras whimpered, still holding Alucard's head as she closed her eyes and cradled what remained of her former master. "Master...please come back to me. I need you Master. I can't go through this life without you here. To yell at me and call me an idiot. Master please...I...love...you.." She said continuing to cradle Alucard's face.
With Alucard defeated Kain and Michael's duel continued. The alpha wolf raised his katana as it clashed with Kain's sword. Kain growled and pressed harder. Michael looked as his sword began to wear down. Gritting his teeth he jumped back. Kain did the same, preparing his next attack. In a flash both combatants clashed weapons before skidding to a stop past one another. Michael looked, his precious sword was completely broken in half. Kain spat, his own sword was also broken. Both men tossed their weapons to the ground before turning to face one another. "Happy? You ruined my favorite sword." Michael said sourly. Kain just shook his head. "Hand to hand is the basis of all combat. Only a fool trusts his life to a weapon." he said. Michael smirked, "Heh not bad. I like that. You make that all up yourself?" he asked to which Kain shook his head. "When you have lived for over 1,000 years such as I have you pick up many different things. But enough talk, shall we continue or are unable to fight with your fists?" he taunted. Michael cracked his neck before readying himself. "I'm a Werewolf. I always do prefer killing with my hands. Let's do it." he said inviting a challenge.
Kain remained motionless, several moments passed before he disappeared. Michael turned and raised his right knee blocking a round house kick from the vampire. Stepping down he threw several quick jabs and punch combinations, his arms and hands moving like lightning. Kain parried them all, using only one hand. Michael pressed the attack, mixing in kicks along with knees and elbows. Kain continued to parry and block each attack. Stepping back he bounced on both feet before dashing to Michael's left side. Raising his right leg he unleashed a triple round kick combination with each kick targeting a different part. Michael blocked them all and countered with a claw swipe that Kain ducked and rolled underneath. Both vampire and werewolf unleashed a massive assault on each other. Dashing and bounding around the room at insane speed. The ground cracked from the force of their attacks and the walls and ceiling shook violently. Michael slashed Kain three times across the back which the vampire countered by swiping him across the torso. Landing Michael looked at the damage, he bled from his stomach which quickly stopped as his healing factor kicked in. Turning to Kain the vampire likewise healed his own injuries. Michael then ran towards him in a burst of speed. Raising his fist he punched through Kain's shoulder. Howling from the pain Kain kicked Michael across the room sending the werewolf smashing into the wall. Crumbling down Michael spat out blood. He watched as Kain clutched his wounded shoulder before he repaired the damage.
Standing up Michael walked forward. Bracing he crouched down low. Running forward he threw an overhand right at Kain which he caught. Straining both men pushed against the strength of the other. Kain raised his leg and kicked Michael across the neck. Falling down Michael spun on his back before back kicking Kain in the ribs. Flipping back to his feet he then jumped forward. Raising his claws they grew to fearsome lengths as he attempted to decapitate Kain in one gory swing. "This ends now." he said. Michael was however knocked to the floor by a massive burst of black energy. Rolling back he watched as a swarm of darkness circled Kain before crashing to him and throwing him back. Skidding to a stop he looked up. "What, what was that force?" he said. Kain began to laugh. "Missed it? Oh dear me why don't I show you again." he said. Kain turned to face Michael. Spreading out both arms darkness swarmed at his feet before engulfing him. Michael narrowed his eyes. "This feeling...what is it?" he said as a dark and dreadful sensation chilled the room. "You feel that? As if a mountain of weight was dropped on your soul? That's despair. It's time you learned what true despair is." Kain said ominously. Clapping both his hands the darkness spread to all corners of the room engulfing both men. Michael looked around as he was surrounded by black shadows. Several eyes began forming around them as well as open mouths and rows of sharp teeth. Kain again raised his arms as his body contorted in different ways. From behind him dozens of black figures appeared as their eyes flashed gazing directly at Michael who raised both arms. Kain chuckled before walking forward. The shadowy figures surrounded Michael before transforming. One into a skeletal figure with four eyes and fierce fangs. Another into a gangly woman with long hair and shrill cry as she cackled and howled. "What the hell is this shit? What are you trying to pull Kain?" Michael shouted.
"It's a nightmare." the vampire said very matter-of-factly stunning Michael.
"A...nightmare?" he answered back.
"Yes. My special power is that I acquire the mind and souls of those I feed on. Or more accurately I steal their nightmares. The human psyche is a powerful tool. Whatever the mind wills I can create. A person's most horrifying nightmare can become my strongest weapon. Once I absorb their mind and soul I probe deep within their sub-conscious pulling out their most terrifying memories and absorb them into my body." Kain explained. Michael looked at the dark figures circling him. "And them?"
"Like I said it is a nightmare. All manner of dark ghouls and creatures are formed as a result of my spreading out the darkness within my soul. Let me ask, what scares you?" he taunted.
Michael responded by slashing off the head of the skeletal figure behind him. He then attacked the shrieking woman by eviscerating her entirely. Turning back to Kain he watched as more and more figures and grotesque shapes spawned. "Myself." he answered back.
Outside the Tower
"FUUUUUUUUUCK YOOOOOOOU!" Sergei and Alex shouted as they slashed and tore through several more vampires. The Tower of London was quickly besieged by blood and death. Mangled corpses and torn limbs littered the grounds. The stench of blood and decaying flesh was stifling. The wolf pack along with the soldiers of the Order continued their vicious fight against Victor's army. "Man I sure hope Mike is fairing better then us!" Raul shouted kicking a ghoul in half. "If anyone can handle himself it's definitely Mike. There isn't a Werewolf like him alive!" said Robert quickly ripping apart three vampires. Karl and Kathy cut their way through several of the undead fiends. A squad of vampires opened fire on the soldiers, Karl punched the ground as a wave of concrete formed. Using a giant slab he shielded his comrades from the fire. Grunting he then tossed the massive heap of earth at the vampires.
Kathy looked up to the sky. Several helicopters loomed in from the distance. More soldiers began to rappel down to the ground level. Among them were Walter and Vladimir the latter of whom began firing at several vampires. Signaling to his wolves he nodded. "Where's Michael?" he asked. "He's fighting inside. So is Alucard but we haven't heard from any of them." Raul said running to his boss. Walter pointed his right index finger as his micro fiber wires spread out slicing and cutting several ghouls apart. "Then he's on his own, for now anyway. Our objective is to fight back this force until we can buy time to storm the tower and free Integra." Vladimir stated as the pack nodded in response. Turning their attention back to the fight they dashed about the battle ground. Three vampires tackled a soldier to the ground and began ripping and tearing into his flesh. Crying out he reached to his belt, pulling out a small grenade. Managing to detonate it an explosion rang out as several body parts went flying in the air.
Vladimir reloaded his rifle before gazing at the scene. More vampires began appearing. Taking cover behind a damaged car he swore loudly. "Damn it all. Come on just a little longer." he said before returning fire.
Meanwhile...
Victor knelt at the stone altar. Chanting in an unknown language red symbols lit the room. The stone altar rumbled before the top opened. A round hole opened up causing Victor to hiss in satisfaction. Standing up he raised both hands and began shouting in praise. "Nephilim! The Sons of God who mated with the Daughters of Men! The Fallen Ones! The Angels of Hell! Here my plea O' Mighty Ones! Restore yourselves and turn this earth into your paradise. Consume the flesh of the living and burn and rape and pillage all the humans have created!" he said. Hearing chuckling he turned to see Integra laughing while shaking her head. "Fool. Haven't you read the Scriptures? God destroyed them thousands of years ago and punished the devils that spawned them. Yet you plan to revive them. How do you suppose he will deal with you once you meet him?" she taunted. Victor frowned. "Your God stood idly by as the world plummeted to chaos and despair numerous times. I do not fear him. Once I have their power, I will become my own god. A god that does not carry out arbitrary judgment." he stated simply. His lover began chuckling, walking over to Integra she once again straddled her. "Time to die my little Integra. I did promise we would have fun later and I always keep my promises." she purred. Moving her hands down she began unbuttoning Integra's shirt, gently caressing her breasts. Integra growled, struggling to move. "Keep your hands off me you damn freak!" she threatened. Victor's mate licked her along her chest neck and face before hissing. "You taste good. I can taste your sweet blood coursing through your body. Victor did promise me first bite." she said preparing to bite and feed on Integra. A gunshot pierced the air causing her to stop. She blinked twice before a large hole erupted through her shoulder. Blood sprayed out the wound. Crying out she fell back and rolled on the ground clutching her wound. Victor glared into the darkness as a figure approached.
"My my, I didn't know you were into the kinky stuff Integra." Dante said grinning. Lowering his pistol he smirked as Victor's eyes flashed. "The devil hunter Dante, Son of Sparda. I never imagined you would be allied with the Hellsing family." he said. Dante shrugged, "It's an odd job but long as I get to kill a few suckheads it's worth the trip." he said. Victor's mate continued clutching her wound while cursing Dante. "My love please...kill him! Kill him so we can then drain Integra!" she shouted rolling at his feet. Victor crouched down and gently caressed her face. Leaning in he kissed her lips strongly before braking the embrace. With a gentle smile he then pierced her heart with his hand. Gasping she coughed up blood as she gagged and choked. Integra's eyes widened, so did Dante's a little at the sight of such brutality. Victor's mate continued coughing blood as she struggled to speak. "But...my love...how could you?" she said. Victor merely flashed a cold merciless stare. "Might controls everything. Power is the path of conquest. Love is simply an illusion designed to enslave the weak. Without power without strength you cannot accomplish anything. As such I have no love for weakness." he said as her eyes closed and she slumped to the floor, dead. Victor stood up, "Only power" he said as her body turned to dust.
"You bastard. You will soon suffer an eternity of pain in Hell." Integra threatened. Victor scoffed, 'I have already disposed of your servant. Soon you too Dante shall fall." he said gazing at the devil hunter who took aim with his pistols. "We'll see." Dante said opening fire as Victor skillfully dodged. Victor fired back as Dante rolled out the way. Both men dashed around the room shooting their weapons. Dante at one point shot Victor through his chest stomach and face. Blood squirted out as Victor shouted. He then disappeared in a blur. Dante turned to his left to see a wave of red energy crashing towards him as he dodged. Pulling out Rebellion he swung his sword three times as it absorbed the energy. Looking up he saw Victor spread out his arms. A mass of black matter formed at his feet before taking the grotesque shape of a tall ghoulish creature. It screeched before racing towards Dante who slashed it in half with his sword. Victor began laughing as an orb of violet colored energy formed in his right palm. In a flash he appeared behind Dante surprising the half demon. Dante spun around simultaneously swinging Rebellion while firing his weapon just as Victor slammed the orb of energy into his chest. Both men were hurled back as a result of their attacks. Victor was cut across his chest and shot in the shoulder while Dante slammed into a wall. Landing to his feet he brushed his chest off. Checking the area he noticed he wasn't injured or bleeding. "Looks like your attack missed." he said to Victor who was regenerating his wounds.
Chuckling Victor shook his head. "You are gravely mistaken Dante. It worked quite nicely." he said. Dante took a step forward holding Rebellion in his right hand. Suddenly his body froze, unable to move. Straining a wave of numbness rocked his body. Grunting it took tremendous effort to take a step forward. "What? What the hell is happening?" he said struggling to move. Victor laughed, "You'll find it hard to move when your powers are sealed away." he said. Dante looked at him. "My powers...?" he said. "Yes. I anticipated facing against you and was prepared for it. This room we stand in was enchanted with a barrier spell that seals away demonic power. All I needed was additional magic to further strengthen it. Your devil powers are locked away and you won't be able to transform nor heal any damage." Victor said clapping both hands together. His body pulsated with red energy as he fired three javelin like spears of energy at Dante, piercing his stomach and chest. Dante staggered back dropping Rebellion to the ground. Blood dripped from his wounds as he tried pulling the spears out. Victor then flung him back with kinetic force. Dante was sent crashing to a further part of the room being impaled on the wall. Victor fired more spears of energy piercing his hands. Walking up he took Rebellion and launched it straight through his heart. Dante gasped before bleeding severely from his wounds. "Urgh...damn..it all.." he spat.
Satisfied Victor ended his assault. "Even you proved to be no match. Farewell, Son of Sparda." he said turning and walking back over to the stone altar to begin the ritual.
Meanwhile...
"Take this HAAAAAAA!" Michael shouted as he slashed and ripped through a giant four eyed dog. The hound wailed before disappearing in black smoke. He had been battling the many ghouls and beasts generated from Kain's nightmare. The vampire stood in the center, grinning before chuckling. "I think it's time I joined the fun as well." he said waving his hand. In a flash he phased to Michael's left and kicked him three times ending a bone crunching round house kick to the torso. Michael winced as he absorbed the blow. Taking his claws he slashed at Kain who disappeared. Kain appeared behind, ax kicking him in the back. Michael stumbled before countering with a spinning heel kick connecting with Kain's chin. Kain fell to the floor, stopping his fall with his right hand he did a 360 degree spin kicking Michael several times before back flipping. Michael skidded to a stop before rushing forward. Curling his fist he let it sail in a vicious overhand blow. Kain paused, black mist formed in front as the figure of another monster appeared. It stood on two legs with long black hair, black skin and a single golden colored eye. It had rows of piranha like teeth and two powerful arms. Michael's attack went straight through its chest. The creature barely flinched. Instead it grabbed Michael then viciously bit into his neck and chest. Michael howled before gritting his teeth. "Ahh fuck! Well then how about this!" he said gripping its arms. Summoning his strength Michael tore both its arms off before snapping its neck. The creature gagged before falling limp. Grabbing it by the face he ripped the head off before kicking the body across the ground. Kain whistled, impressed at such gruesome attacks. Michael paused, his healing factor soon closed the wound up. Kain laughed as he spread his arms out. In the darkness surrounding the two combatants more eyes appeared as well as open mouths with fearsome teeth. Oddly enough some open mouths had eyes forming inside. Michael looked around, more disgusted then frightened. "So you create nightmares. Very interesting. I take it your powers aren't limited to just making big scary monsters." he said mockingly.
Kain cocked his head to one side. "Oho, so you want more? Ask question give answer I always say. Very well then." he responded. Kain clapped both hands together and spread his legs apart. The darkness expanded in size before encircling them both. Several arms and tendrils spread from behind him speeding towards Michael. The Werewolf bat and knocked them away with various attacks. One arm gripped his head tightly. Michael strained before tearing it off. The attacks then stopped as Kain narrowed his eyes. "I see then. This one is going to be very fun." he said. A brilliant light then flashed, Michael squinted his eyes slightly as it swallowed up all traces of the darkness. Looking he saw only light. After a few moments a figure appeared in front. It was a woman, her back was turned but Michael could see her arms were across her chest. Slowly she turned. Michael continued to stare. She was stunningly beautiful. Yet something about her beauty was hauntingly familiar. The woman turned around to face Michael completely. He stared at his face and froze. His skin became pale as recognition set in. Those eyes, her long gorgeous hair and statuesque figure. Michael's stomach did a flip flop and his heart sank. Gasping for breath he uttered her name completely horrified.
"Anya..." he whispered.
Anya smiled. "Michael, I've missed you so much. You haven't forgotten have you? I was your mate who you promised to love, cherish and protect forever." Michael struggled to breathe. It was impossible. Here, standing before him was his beloved Anya the woman he tragically lost centuries ago. He slowly walked towards her holding out his hands. "Anya...no this is some trick. You died that night." he said. Anya smiled warmly. "Sweetie don't be foolish. I never died. I live in your heart. Always and forever." she said. Michael couldn't contain himself as he then ran and embraced her tightly. Shaking uncontrollably he caressed her body. "Anya my love. I've missed you so much since that night. I've never stopped loving you and I've never forgiven myself for failing to save you and our child." he said.
Anya returned the hug before removing his arms. Staring into his eyes she then said, "Love? But it was your fault." she responded coldly. Michael stared back. Anya's body rocked before her neck twisted to the right. Horrified Michael shouted. A deep slash wound then appeared across her mid section as blood sprayed out and drenched him. Anya let out a chilling cry of agony as her body fell limp. Gagging she managed to stammer out "Mi..chael...you..failed to save your true love.." Horrified Michael watched as the light faded. Darkness soon encircled him. Beside Anya's seemingly dead body another formed. Then another and another as dozens upon dozens of copies of Anya's body began to litter the floor. Michael looked on in horror, they were all gravely wounded in various horrible positions. Shaking he clutched his head tightly and let out a deep mournful howl. Suddenly he began to hear laughing as the outline of Kain appeared over Anya's body. "My my that isn't too kind. She was your mate and you couldn't save her or your own child? Not cool wolf, not cool."
Michael's sorrow soon turned to burning rage as his fists shook. Dashing to Kain he pulled back his right fist intending to smash through the vampire. Kain simply snapped his fingers. Michael's body was stopped. Dozens of black hands gripped him tightly before binding him against a wall. With his arms and legs bound he struggled to move. Even with his obscene strength he found it impossible. "Bastard! How could you know about her?" he shouted. Kain walked up to him. "Once exposed to my darkness I can see the inner most depths of the soul. Nothing is off limits to me. It was simply a matter of buying time to allow me to probe your psyche. As I said the darkness forms a nightmare powered by the person's inner fear. At its most powerful it can create illusions that never end. So, how would you like to see your beloved mate beaten and tortured?" he said snapping his fingers.
Michael looked to see that Anya's body was restored. Only this time two massive brutes appeared and began violently pummeling and battering her body. Michael growled, his eyes flashing as his fangs grew. "Don't you fucking touch her!" he shouted. Kain simply grinned, full of sadism and joy. "HAHAHA! Ahh this is always my favorite part! Seeing the victim as they squirm and suffer a total mental collapse. It's much more fun to view in humans but you'll do fine." he said holding out his right hand. A black spike formed as he then jammed it deep into Michael's stomach. Blood squirted out as the Werewolf coughed up blood. Kain formed three more spikes stabbing Michael in the chest and torso. Cackling Kain reared back in maniacal laughter delighted at seeing Michael's suffering. Gritting his teeth Michael spat up blood as his fists clenched. "Anya...I'm sorry." he said hanging his head.
Victor placed the Orb of the Fallen into the round device. The stone altar lit with red symbols as it began to vibrate. Chanting he bowed before the altar. Integra watched as the vampire activated the ritual. Victor's eyes flashed. "It's time for this world to end by fire, and for a new one to be born from its ashes." he said. The room lit with more red symbols as it began shaking. Walking to the middle of the room Victor began more chanting. "The fallen were born of devil's seed and man's flesh. They come to claim, they come to silence. They come to maim, they come for violence. The Sons of God whom mated with the Daughters of Men will rise again. Rise Nephilim! Rise again! Reclaim this earth as your demonic kingdom! Feast on the flesh of the living and condemn the humans to suffering and misery. Rise Nephilim! Rise Nephilim RISE AGAIN!" Victor shouted as the room rumbled and a massive burst of red energy cracked and sparked in the center. Stepping back the floor cracked and broke apart as black smoke rose from below. Suddenly a massive black door emerged from the smoke. The door was made of black steel and engraved with numerous skull like designs. Victor hissed in delight. Integra growled, "Damn you..."
Turning to her Victor walked over. "I was born of death. I was born to destroy anything and everything. Watch as I plummet your precious city as well as this whole world and send them crashing down to Hell." Leaning over he hissed again before licking his lips. Crouching down he straddled her. Sniffing her neck he sadistically grinned. "I've never met a virgin as lovely as yourself. Your blood will keep me strong for eternity." Victor said exposing Integra's neck. Sighing she spat in his face. Calmly wiping it away he hissed. "You've caused such a riot in my loins Integra Hellsing the likes of which I've never experienced." he said unbuttoning her shirt. Integra growled, "You're nothing but a wicked blood addict who will spend eternity in Hell." she stated. Laughing Victor sighed. "I told you your servant has long been destroyed. Your ultimate weapon is no more." he said moving his hand down her thigh. Integra's breath quickened as she felt his hands down her legs. Victor unbuttoned her pants and slightly pulled them down. "I'm going to ravage you, leaving your mind body and soul in pure agony. Then I'm going to drain every drop of blood out of you forcing you to join the ranks of the undead for all eternity. What do you think of that Sir Integra Hellsing?" Victor said as he licked the top of her neck and face.
Turning her head to the left Integra stared off as if pondering her fate. Closing her eyes she reopened them. "Situation A." she said as Victor leaned back in confusion. "Engage Limited Release Ability to Level 1. Now activating the Cromwell Approval. Ability restriction fully unlocked until the enemy has been eternally silenced. Your master Hellsing commands it." she said. Victor frowned, annoyed by her stubbornness. "You still don't get it yet? I told you your precious weapon has been destroyed. He's rotting in Hell as we speak. No matter. I look forward to tasting your sweet blood!" Victor said biting Integra on her neck. Wincing in pain she then shouted. "Cromwell Restriction lifted to level 1! Acknowledge my approval! ALUCARD!" Integra shouted at the top of her lungs. Her voice echoed through the chambers carrying on her removal of Alucard's ability restrictions.
Victor having swallowed a mouthful of Integra's blood leaned back. With a strong roar a surge of energy formed as it echoed in the room. Standing back up he turned to the black door as it cracked open. Red and orange light poured out. Victor grinned, blood dripping from his lips. The doors fully opened. Smoke and cinder billowed out slightly. Nothing happened for several moments until a a clawed hand reached out in a frenzy. The figure took several moments before stepping out entirely. Victor stared in awe and reverence while Integra looked on in fear and disgust.
Standing before them was a heavily muscled being with red skin and black colored hands and feet. It stood 10 feet tall with heavily clawed hands and feet as well as flowing black hair. Its eyes were gold with red and black irises. It had fearsome teeth and black colored lips. On its back were black colored wings resembling an angel's. The Nephilim had returned. Scanning the room its eyes locked unto Victor. The vampire smirked. Snorting twice the Nephilim's eyes became filled with intense concentration. It was like gazing into the pits of Hell itself. After a moment it spread its wings, reared back and howled a frightening sound. Victor began wildly laughing, his eyes flashing. Out the door more of the Nephilim began to appear. Stepping out they scanned the room before stopping in front of Victor. Raising his hand Victor grinned. "Go. Destroy it all." he commanded. The Nephilim responded with a loud roar as they took flight. Dozens more walked out their imprisonment. There was no end to them. Flying around the room they disappeared along with the black door in a brilliant red light. At the top of the tower the door reformed and opened as thousands of Nephilim poured out into the London sky. Thousands upon thousands took to flight in the sky. Moments past before there were thousands swarming the city. Victor having transported to the highest point of the tower raised his hands. The Nephilim began circling him before one sped to him. Turning into a beam of red light it phased through his chest. Victor's body jolted from the sheer power. Another did the same then another and another. Victor was bombarded right and left by the Nephilim. They were beginning to merge their power with his. Despite the incredible force and gut wrenching pain Victor encouraged it. "Yes! Yes! Such marvelous power! I want it all give me more more MORE!" he shouted with a frenzy. Having begun to fuse with their power Victor spurned a transformation. His hair turned pale white and his eyes blood red with his pupils dilated. Two curved horns formed on top of his head and he gained a pair of angel wings. Smiling he roared with great fury as the process finished.
Snorting Victor laughed, his voice deeper with a cold and terrifying echo. "At last the ritual is complete. I now have the power of the Nephilim deep in my soul. All that's left is to turn this city to ash." looking up he saw as the Nephilim continued pouring out the door and taking flight to the sky. "Go! Destroy this city and any remaining residents. After that spread forth to every continent until every being in this world bows down before me!" he said waving his hand.
The Nephilim swarmed the city, ground and sky. Soldiers opened fire, some made contact while others were plucked off. One man was grabbed and tossed into the sky. Two of the fiendish demons ripped him apart in the sky as his blood rained down. More Nephilim began fighting with soldiers of both the Order and Hellsing. "Fire Kill them all damn it!" one commander shouted firing from a Vulcan cannon atop an armored cruiser. He managed to kill and rip apart several of the Nephilim. However for every one that died several more took its place. Bullets and missiles hailed across the sky as the soldiers desperately fought back the Nephilim.
From the grounds below Sergei pointed up above. The fighting had stopped with the vampires ceasing their attacks. Mesmerized by the revival of the Nephilim. "Uh...fellas. The situation has gone to completely fucked right now." he said. Alex looked on in horror as did Raul, Robert and Kathy. Karl narrowed his eyes, folding his arms. Vladimir and Walter shook with anger and fear. "There's...so many of them...damn it all we fucked up bad." the Russian leader said. "God please help us. I don't know how we'll stop them now." he said. The group was so engrossed in watching the Nephilim fly through the skies and begin their terror they did not notice a peculiar happening. The blood soaked battle field was drying up as the blood flowed from outside the grounds to inside the tower. From every corpse of a fallen soldier, human or vampire the blood moved away until a literal tidal wave of blood poured into the tower.
Seras, still holding Alucard's head had drifted off in a daze. She did not see how the blood was collecting underneath her in a large pool. More and more poured in somehow being soaked in by Alucard's face.
"Limited Release Approval confirmed. Releasing Control Art Restriction System to Level 1." Alucard echoed in the chambers.
A massive surge of power exploded from the tower. The after shock could be felt outside as the ground rumbled. Vladimir looked, "Now what?" he shouted. Walter blinked before smirking. "I know this sensation anywhere. It's Alucard." he said triumphantly. The wolf pack looked on in amazement. "Man I knew he was some ultimate breed of vampire but this...I've never felt such a force of vampiric power.." Raul said almost in awe.
Alucard's awakening sparked a surge or power through out London. The city streets glowed deep red as did the buildings and even water from the surrounding bay and ocean. Above the city the light formed what soon took shape of a massive pentagram which was actually the symbol of the Hellsing family. Above the Tower Victor was so engrossed in ranting about his newfound power he did not pay heed to Alucard's revival. Back in the chambers Seras opened her eyes. Looking down she panicked. Alucard's body was gone. There was no blood or anything. Looking around she began to worry. Feeling a presence she turned behind her and got to her knees. Standing before her fists clenched at his side was Alucard. Only this time he was dressed in what appeared a red strait jacket like suit with very long black hair. Grinning he chuckled lightly.
"Master. My master has returned." Seras said bowing. Alucard laughed. "What a perfect night. The kind of night that makes me want to have a bite to drink. Don't you agree it is such a...wonderful evening?" he said taking her chin with his finger.
"Master?" Seras said. Alucard stared deep in her eyes. Noticing her changed hair and eye color her smiled, warm and gentle as opposed to his trademark ruthless grin. "You've grown beautifully, my child. Go. Go and be with our master, Seras Victoria." Alucard said. It was extremely rare for him to use her full name. Normally he did so out of annoyance with her. This time he did so in acknowledging her growth into a true vampire. Seras beamed, a big smile on her face. "Sir, yes sir my master!" she said. Alucard stood to full height as his body disappeared. Seras stood up. "Master Alucard. He really is the ultimate vampire." she said before turning to run and save Integra.
From above the tower Victor was watching as the Nephilim began their terror of killing and maiming. He then grit his teeth in anger. Turning he saw Alucard, his right leg propped unto the edge of the tower. "What? Impossible! You should be dead!" Alucard grinned showing his fangs. "I have feasted on the untold rivers of blood that have soaked into this cursed fortress. The bloody tower has revived me and my master approved the usage of my powers." Alucard explained standing back to full height. "Now, what technique shall I use to silence you and send you to a purgatory of eternal pain and torment?" he asked. Victor growled. "Fool! I've already fused with the Nephilim. I shall absorb your power too. You will become part of me and serve Hell for eternity!"
Victor waved his right palm as a beam of red energy shot towards Alucard who evaded with breack neck speed stunning even Victor. Alucard appeared to his left then back across the tower. "Yes! Excellent! That's the way of a true A-list vampire! At last I've found a suitable creature to do battle!" Alucard declared.
Back inside Seras raced to the chambers were Integra was being held. Freeing her mistress she helped her to her feet. "Sir Integra are you all right?"
"Yes Seras I am fine. Seras, check on Dante and see if he is still alive. Victor pierced him right over..there..." Integra said pointing to where Dante had been pinned. The devil hunter was nowhere to be found. "But...how...?" she questioned. Seras shrugged. "He is a demon. Come on sir we have to leave the tower and find a way to stop Victor." she said taking Integra by the hand and leading her out.
Back outside...
Victor and Alucard immediately began a fierce duel with Victor hurling energy blasts all of which were deflected or evaded. Holding out his right hand he braced as a snake like creature formed from black mist. Opening its jaws it tried to bite Alucard whom simply caught them. It then fired white energy which harmlessly collided against Alucard.
"Is that all you've got? Even after you awaken these dried up Hell demons and take them into your body is this really all the power you can muster?" Alucard said mocking Victor's new powers. Victor growled and cursed. Waving his hands several of the Nephilim flying overhand descended on Alucard. Trying to attacked the vampire spread out his arms as eyes formed. Shadows danced around him as his body turned into hell hounds which proceeded to rip and tear the Nephilim apart. They shrieked in pain as their insides were split open and they were decapitated. Alucard reformed and began laughing. Victor looked on in horror.
"This...is impossible. I have the power of the most ancient devils. I CANNOT BE DEFEATED!" he cried out. Alucard laughed again. "You don't know when to quit. Face it you are outclassed. You rely too much on these pathetic pawns to give you strength. Looks like pain and suffering will be your teacher." Alucard declared.
Victor regained his composure and smirked. "Pain? Please. I am imbued with the power of the Nephilim. Beings that mock the border of human and devil. I WELCOME ETERNAL PAIN!" he said as his body glowed with red energy. Alucard smirked, shadows and various shapes forming at his feet before more hell hounds snapped and tore from his body. "You have such disgusting taste. Is pain truly your pleasure? Fine. I will grant your wish. I'll send you to a world where all you will know is pain!" he said. Alucard then ceased his transformation as he spread his arms out in a shrug.
"But don't let my fun end too quickly. Come on. What are you going to do? Come on. Hurry! Hurry up Hurry! Come on! Come on! Come on!" Alucard said excitedly. Both he and Victor jumped at each other, clashing they plummeted to the city streets below in a vicious fight. Alucard transforming and biting off Victor's leg. Victor in turn reformed and shot several of his javelin spears. Alucard's body was pierced before he dispelled them. The two continued, rampaging through the streets over the corpses of men, vampires and Nephilim. Skidding to a stop they faced down each other surrounded by fire and damaged buildings. Alucard smirked, taking a step forward a voice made him stop.
"Alucard!" Integra shouted. She and Seras were atop a building looking down on their battle.
"Yes, my master?" Alucard answered bowing.
Integra waved her right hand, a visage of fierce concentration and resolve on her face. "Releasing Control Art Restriction System to Level Zero. Fulfill your repatriation. Declare it! Fulfill your servitude to Hellsing. We do not back down from the enemy! Destroy them. Destroy this army. The vampires. The Nephilim. Everyone of them. Fulfill your repatriation soldier!" Integra declared causing Alucard to grin. Closing his eyes he reopened them as Victor looked in confusion.
"Situation acknowledged, my master. Cromwell Restriction lifted for full release." Alucard said as his body began to tremble and shake. Shadows formed at his feet before melting away, turning to a literal ocean of blood as numerous darkened figures began to from. Alucard too changed, his clothes along with his face. Victor shook, not knowing where this power was coming from.
"This can't be...how can he be this strong? No vampire can have such power! There was only one but he was only legend! The father of all vampires! Lord of the undead!" Victor said and for the first time began to show fear at Alucard's power.
"The devil himself, son of dragon. Dracula!" Victor exclaimed just as Alucard burst into maniacal laughter.
