Chapter 4: Hellsing Manor
They have defeated the vampire, unfortunately Ash is still is berserk mode. Seras decided to take action.
"Ash, I'm really sorry for having to do this." said Seras, and proceeded to hug Ash. It was a motherly hug that told the world, that while Seras might not be Ash's true mother, she was his parent in blood, the blood from the bite she inflicted upon Ash, and as a mother, she will protect her son. Alas, she may be hugging Ash, but Ash is on Seras' chest level, and as such he was in a position that would make the majority of males around the world cringe with jealousy. Whether it was the motherly hug or the two mountains that finally snapped Ash back into reality, no one will ever know, but the important part is that Ash is finally back.
And the first thing Ash said when he came back to normal was, "c-can't breathe."
Seras immediately let go, her face red as a tomato. "Sorry." said Seras.
Panting, Ash pulled himself out of the death hug. He looked around, and saw nothing but death and decay, he looked at Seras, whose clothes were torn and red with blood, then he looked at himself, hands dripping with blood, his clothes soaked in the red liquid.
He sat on the floor, and started to cry.
"I lost control of myself, and killed all those people. Miss Seras, what if I lost control of myself again, what if what happened here happened where there are many people, what if -" he never finished what he said, as Seras once again hugged him, this time gentler and closer to her face.
"I know how you feel little one, I also lost control during my first mission for Hellsing, I killed more ghouls than you did here. And I will do everything in my power to train you into controlling your powers, so that you will not lose control of yourself, not now, not ever."
"Really?"
"Promise."
This calmed Ash down. When he heard that his master also went through the same ordeal as he did, he was relieved, he wasn't the only one who lost control of their powers.
Seras held his face and looked at him straight in the eye, and two sets of blood red orbs looked at each other, glinting in the moonlight.
"Are you ready to go now?" she asked.
Ash nodded.
"Alright, let's get to the car."
They finally made it to Hellsing Manor, after a short detour to the newly built Hellsing office in Viridian City, where Seras did a check-up on any problems. It was also Ash's first time riding an airplane, and so he enjoyed every minute of it.
When they finally arrived, Ash was awestruck at the size of the mansion.
"This is even bigger than Professor Oak's house!." he said, mouth hanging open
Seras chuckled. "The inside is more impressive, just you wait."
And more impressive indeed, the walls as well as the furniture are decorated in the style of the Victorian Era, while lobby was enormous, the entire Ketchum residence could fit in it.
Seras led Ash to a small room at the lower parts of the mansion. Inside the room was a coffin and a cabinet. Seras then ushered him inside.
"This is going to be your room Ash, I know it's not much, but it's the one closest to my own room, which is right next to this one. The extra clothes are inside the cabinet, and you will sleep in here." said Seras, pointing to the coffin.
"I'm going to sleep in there?" asked Ash, looking at the coffin with surprised eyes. He was not surprised that this was his room, Seras probably called beforehand. He was taken aback by the fact that from now on he was going to have to sleep in a casket.
"Yes Ash, you know you are acting exactly the way I did when they told me to sleep in a casket, don't worry, you'll get used to it." replied Seras.
"Oh, and after you get changed, you might want to sleep the day away, I know I will. It has been a long and tiring, not to mention frightening, trip. See you tomorrow little one, I'm going to sleep in my own coffin." said Seras, closing the door behind her
And with that, Ash moved to the cabinet, he changed into something more comfortable than what he was currently wearing. Then he went to the coffin, after a few minutes examining the thing, he climbed inside, surprised to find it pleasantly comfortable, it did not take long before he was off into dreamland.
The next day...
Seras took Ash to Sir Integra, the leader of Hellsing.
As they opened the office, Ash got his first glimpse of the current Hellsing matriarch. And she was not alone in the office, for Alucard was also inside, as well as Father Anderson.
When they finally entered, Integra spoke, "so this is the child vampire you were talking about Seras?"
"Yes ma'am." said Seras.
"Enough with the formalities, you can call me Integra if you like, you've been one of my top agents for over ten years. That also goes for you young one." said Integra, pointing to Ash.
Ash nodded, making a mental note to address her as Sir Integra in the future.
Seras then recounted how Ash became a vampire, how a vampire killed Ash's mother and fatally injuring him, and how Seras arrived too late to save his life, and was forced to bite him in order for Ash to survive. And what happened when they went to Seras' apartment.
"I must say, that's quite a story you have there Seras." Integra said, when Seras finally finished recounting. Then Alucard spoke.
"As I looked into your predicament young one, I couldn't help but get the feeling that this is one of those moments where everything is funny and oh so very wrong at the same time." said the elder vampire.
Everyone looked at Alucard, whose face held a neutral expression. It took an entire five minutes before Integra broke the silence.
"Excuse Alucard, it seems immortality has finally done what Anderson here could not, make Alucard lose his sanity."
At that, Alucard simply chuckled, "when you have seen everything the world has to offer, you tend to go to extreme lengths to prevent boredom."
Before Integra can say anything else, Ash spoke, "um, not to sound rude but, what exactly does Hellsing do?"
Integra simply looked at him. "The Royal Order of Protestant Knights, or more commonly known as Hellsing, is an organization tasked with keeping supernatural threats here in Britain under control. Recently however, the increasing threat of foreign vampires, as well as the danger the remnants of the organization Millennium poses, we were forced to set up branch offices on other areas. Also add to the fact that Vatican Section thirteen, or Iscariot, has agreed upon a non-aggression pact as well as a limited partnership, and they have a worldwide coverage."
Ash also simply looked at her, trying to process the information that was given to him.
Alucard sniggered. "The way he looks at you master, I think you may have permanently damaged his mind, with all the things you said."
Integra gave him the Death Glare, but said nothing. In took a while before Ash spoke again.
"Um, Sir Integra, why did you team up with, um, Iscariot?" said Ash.
This time it was Anderson that replied.
"An interesting question young one, we joined, because of the organization Millennium, a group of crazy Nazi fanatics. The goal of this organization is to create a great war, nothing else. That is their only purpose, for the world to fight. Normally we would not interfere, but unfortunately Millennium uses vampires and other creatures of the night to do their biddings. Alone, we were almost destroyed by Millennium, but when we forged a partnership, we managed to win against them, though small parts of Millennium remain, and that is the reason why we are still in a partnership even after we have defeated that organization." said the paladin.
Ash nodded, thinking how anyone can fight forever.
Integra then spoke. "Look at that, it's already four in the afternoon. Ash, Seras will take you on a tour of the mansion, just to get you acquainted, and then it will be dinnertime. Tomorrow, you will train with Seras, Alucard, and Anderson, seeing as you are seemingly on their level of fighting prowess. I would have paired you up with Walter, but seeing as he is dead…" said the British Knight, with a faraway look in her eyes.
"But, but, I don't even know how to-"was the only thing Ash could say before he was whisked away by Seras.
"Don't worry my young underling, I will teach you how to use the gun I gave you." She said as she dragged Ash out of the door.
