Hi guys! Sorry it took me FOREVER to get this chapter out. I know some of you were looking forward to it. I'm sorry people :( The next chapter will also be the last one, and then I'll put up the squeal towards it. I'm actually excited for the squeal and I want to hear people's opinion when I update it. ^^ Now onto the chapter!

Seras had just exited the dining hall with a heavy sigh coming from her mouth. She had sneaked away when the three maids were talking to Alexis, Walter and Integra. She never did figure out where her master went since his disappearance earlier at dinner. Before she can take one step in any direction of the hall, a pink ball of energy appeared out of no where.
"Gah!" She screamed out as she jumped back slightly. The pink ball just floated there was as she got a grip of her shock. She blinked curiously at it before smiling.
"Oh Hi Sphere. I didn't know you could change your color from blue to pink. That's neat" She said in a happy cheery voice. She could have sworn that the ball had a sweatdrop going down it's shape. She arched her eyebrow as the ball began to fly away from her.
"Do you want me to follow you?" She asked as she took one step forward. The ball of energy stopped for a moment before continuing on. Seras didn't know what to do but she followed it obediently as she requested. She noticed it was going east of the dining room, watching the ball carefully in case of any tricks.
She had followed the pink Sphere for a good twenty meters before arriving at two gold plated doors that were similar to the dining room. She gazed the design of the door. The door was painted red with little gold flora designs spread all over it. She arched her eyebrow slightly before grabbing the golden handle and opening the door. She stepped inside to see it was the throne room from the vision.
She walked in with her boots creating an echo through the empty room as she walked forward. She stopped ten meters from the thrones sitting in straight of her. The pink orb then floated over the smallest chair before floating above the seat. Seras then realized that this was probably a different spirit.
"Ar you related to Alexis?" She asked in a hushed voice. She saw then the color of the orb go from pink to a dark red. The orb flew over closer to Seras before stopping right in front of her face. Seras jumped back slightly out of shock. The orb then turned back to pink before Seras' eyes turned to red. She then let out a smirk as well as a chuckle. The pink orb then floated away from Seras, going to find the next person.
Alucard was walking back up the stairs before Sphere went out of his body and disappearing. Alucard let out a heavy groan before he focused his eyes on the hallway ahead of him. He saw that a pair of doors were opened straight of him so he decided to see what was in the room. He took his sweet time going over to the room before peering his head inside. The next sight had shocked him.
He saw his Police Girl sitting on the small throne, twirling with her short blonde hair. Her red eyes were glinted with amusement as continued to twirl her hair. He stepped inside, trying to be quiet so she wouldn't recognize him but she saw him before he could take one step inside.
"Master. I see you got back from your exploring" She mused at him with a giggle. Alucard arched his eyebrow at her behavior. What happened to the shy, innocent Police Girl that he would always tease? She then stood up from the smaller throne before walking slowly over to her master, smirking at the sudden situation. Alucard then had guessed that his fledgling was under a hypnosis but not a normal one. A lustful one.
She then reached her hands onto his chest and pulled him into a kiss. A hard passionate kiss.
Alexis was with Ashlee and Kendra in the ballroom, surrounded by the different emotions going through her mind. They had dressed her in a more comfortable outfit of a plain red dress that went down to her knees.
"Where is Anika?" Alexis asked as she sat down in a small chair.
"She is in the training room with Lizzie" Kendra answered as she poured a cup of blood for Alexis before handing it to her. Alexis took the blood with a smile on her face, telling her 'thank you' before sipping it gently. She set the cup on her lap with her hands cupped around it.
"So tell me more about this war." Alexis ordered as she watched the maids bow slightly from instinct. They both looked at each other before they decided on who should tell.
"Well, the most we know is that the enemy is the catholic church and they want to erase vampires for good." Kendra spoke up first before glancing at Ashlee.
"The one person you would want to ask is the queen or the king, but they are not around. The group known as 'Eternity' has a leader that can vast a deadly sleeping spell, but we're not sure how to remove it" Ashlee finished with a sad look upon her face. Ashlee let out a small sigh before looking at the both of them.
"Alright. Little information is better than none. Thank you" She spoke as she put the glass to her lips for another sip.
"Oh by the way, where are the humans I brought with me?" Alexis spoke once again.
"Oh. We had a few of the servants give them a tour of the castle" Ashlee finished before the door slammed opened to reveal Anika and Lizzie.
"We have an emergency. There is an unknown presence in the castle!" Anika alerted the others before she ran back into the hall with Lizzie.
"Please stay here princess. We'll take care of the problem for you" Kendra said as she ran out of the ballroom with Ashlee. Alexis let out another sigh as things were probably going to get boring.
A half and hour has passed and there was still no sign of anyone near the ballroom. Alexis sat in her chair with her head resting on her hand, letting out another bored sigh. She figured that her parents were doing something with each other while Walter and Integra were in a safe room somewhere in the castle. She couldn't figure out where Sphere went since dinner. He was acting very odd since their arrival to the future.
A bright pink light appeared in front of her face at that time, interrupting her thoughts. She blinked before focusing her sight at it. It looked like Sphere but it was only pink. Well she did recall Sphere turning pink before showing his bedroom to her. She let out a small smile.
"Sphere? Why are you pink now?" She let out with a giggle. She noticed the pink ball float down slightly, like it was sweatdropping. The pink light then began to flash brightly, making Alexis shield her eyes. When she uncovered them, she saw a woman standing there with a red hood over her head, covering her face with darkness. The only thing she could see was red eyes, looking down at her.
"Who are you?" She asked out of aggression. Is she an intruder or an ally? She saw the woman move her head slightly to the right.
"Alexis..." The woman said in a very sweet voice. Alexis' eyes widen at the statement. She couldn't believe her ears. It couldn't be! It can't be!
"After all these years, you are still beautiful. You remind so much of your father." The woman continued to praise as Alexis' eyes began to drop blood. She stood up slowly, spilling the cup of blood on the floor with the glass shattering. She walked forward slowly towards the woman as she raised her hand towards her. She slowly made her way to touch the woman's left arm, only to go through it. She was just a spirit. Her body was only like a illusion.
"F-father?" She stuttered out of astonishment. She saw the hood woman nodded before seeing blood drip from her chin. The woman was letting out tears as she fell to her knees, being the same height as the princess. Alexis saw the woman's eyes held sadness in them.
"A-After all these year you don't hate me. I made the selfish decision for you and you don't hate me" She said as she lowered her head to the ground. Alexis let her eyes bleed out more as she saw the woman bow to her in apology.
"It was the best decision at the time. You didn't want me to be hurt since I was only an infant. I understand perfectly why you did it... Mother" She whispered as she saw her mother raise her head quickly. She guessed her mother was amazed that she could understand so much at a young age.
"You have your father's brain. You are an extremely fast learner I'm guessing" She said as she raised her hands to remove her hood, showing her face to her daughter. Alexis saw that she looked exactly the same as her past self, but she had long hair that was contained in the hood as well as red eyes. Her mother let out a small smile.
"Thank you mother" She said as she saw her mother stand. The queen wore her original red dress but held a small tiara on her head, symbolizing her place as queen.
"What? No mommy?" The queen giggled out. Alexis smiled happily as she wiped her tears away.
"What are you doing here though?" The queen then sighed before having a stern look on her face.
"I was sealed away by that bastard, William. He put a powerful sleeping spell on me that caused my soul to get out of my body." The explanation made Alexis' eyes widened. She then let out a growl knowing her both of her parents had suffered the same fate.
"Is there anyway to help you return to your body?" The queen had nodded her head.
"If William is to be killed, I will return to my body as I was before." She answered in a stern voice.
"Where is Father? Perhaps he can help" This time, the queen shook her head sadly.
"I haven't seen your father for over 5 years. He left so he could stop this war before it can even start, but he has not returned since then. I fear that they had gotten to him." She replied sadly to her daughter. Alexis figured that her father's spell was more powerful than her mother's. Since he was sealed from a stake, killing William will not wake him up, but removal of the stake will. The only problem is that she was the only one who can do it.
"Mother . . ." She said sadly. She really wanted to hug her mother, but she was only a apperition. She couldn't touch her phycially.
"Everything is fine now that you have returned. You will take my place and lead us out of this war." The queen said with a triumphant voice.
"I have another question though. Why was dad trying to stop the war? I know you wanted to live peacefully with the humans but dad seems to get a knack out war mainly for the killing so why would he stop it?" Alexis asked as her mother let out a small smile.
"You are very sharp. Your father does love a good fight and he does enjoy to kill, but his past is so much differnt than his future self. He as the king is not as sadistic from when he was in Hellsing. Besides, your father has suffered enough from war" She explained with a slight growl from her voice, referring to the last sentence.
"I know. He's disappeared" Alexis mumbled while pouting like the child she is.
"I'm not talking about this war." The queen whispered. Alexis arched her eyebrow slightly at her mother's statement.
"What do you mean?" The queen just shook her head.
"I'll tell you when you're older" The reply made Alexis pout even more.
There then was a sudden rumble that shook the entire castle, making Alexis go up to the window to look down at the ground. She saw a large army of men coming towards the castle.
"They're here already?" She growled out as she looked back at her mother.
"Round up the defenses and be prepared for anything. However, don't you dare give up!" The queen commanded as she received a nod from her daughter.
"I wouldn't dream of it" She replied as her mother's body image morphed back into a pink sphere. She had then ran out of the ballroom before heading to the entrance. She ran down the stairs to see everyone was waiting for her. However, she didn't see Seras anywhere.
"Where's mother?" She asked as she walked up to Alucard. He looked down at her with a big grin on his face.
"She's taking a long nap" He replied with a amused tone. Alexis let out a sweatdrop at his creepiness. Sphere had appeared in front of her which made her jump slightly out of shock.
"Hi Sphere. I've met someone interesting." She said with a smile on her face. Sphere then moved beside her before resting on her shoulder. The maids went 'aw' for a second before getting back at the situation at hand.
"Princess, we handle them outside while some will handle in here. We only want your safety so please forgive us for making these desicions for you" Ashlee spoke up as the others headed out the door. Alexis looked to see that Integra and Walter were at her side as well as her father. Sphere had once again disappeared from sight.
"It's fine. Just go and do what you need to do. We'll stay in here and kill any intruders should they be able to come in" Alucard stated in a rough tone as he made his way back up the stairs. Ashlee nodded before disappearing through the doors.
Seras stirred from her sleep, feeling her body moved against soft sheets. She opened her eyes slowly before her vision became sharp to see her where she was. She was in the bedroom that was similar she had envisioned before. She was laying on a bed instead of in a coffin, which was odd to her. She sat up slightly while groaning from exhaustion. She saw the mirror from before was there, letting her see her reflection.
A bright light then erupted in the room, forcing Seras to cover her blue eyes with the blanket. She uncovered her eyes to witness a figure standing away from her. His red hair was tied in a high ponytail as his green eyes looked at her with something in them. They were looking at her with a sudden interest like she was his prey.
"W-Who are you?" She stuttered out of slight fear and shock
"Hello. I don't think we have met. I'm William, the leader of Enterinty. You finally belong to me, my queen" He whispered before his green eyes glowed brightly,looking into the deep blue eyes of the girl. Seras felt her eyelids go heavy and she couldn't keep them open for long. What was wrong with this man? What did he want with her? Her answer remained unanswered as she felt her body fall back against the bed.
He smirked before going over to the bed and carefully picking the young woman up. He let out a small laugh as he disappeared into the darkness, leaving a small note behind.
"I finally have her." He said as he flew back to his headquarters.
Alexis, Alucard, Walter and Integra made their way up to the bedroom where Alucard had put Seras. They had opened the huge double doors and went inside, only to find the bed was empty. Alucard's eyes widen slightly as he felt another scent inside the room. There was another person in the room with the Police Girl. He didn't smell of a vampire but not of a human either. Both scents lingered together near the bed, telling him they had come in contact.
"Where's mommy?" Alexis asked as she went over to the bed. "I thought you said she was in here"
"She was" Alucard answered in a growling tone. "However, I don't think she walked out on her walked out on her own"
"You mean she was kidnapped?" Walter asked, shocked from the news. His answer was a simple nod from the elder vampire.
"Who could have done such a thing?" Integra intervened in the conversation. Alexis opened her mouth to say something, but the pink sphere came inside the room. She looked over at her mother's spirit before widening her eyes.
"I'm guessing it was Eternity" She replied as the pink sphere had come beside her.
"She might be used as bait to make us go rescue her. However, we don't have a choice. Seras is valued very much and we must get her back with no exceptions." Integra said sternly. Alucard just continued to look at the bed. He would have never guess that his Police Girl could get caught up in this situation like this.
"Where should we go look first?" Walter asked as Alexis went over to the window to see the battle commence. She could see her four maids in thier defensive position, getting ready to fight to the death. She had a worry look in her eyes but she had more things to worry about at the moment. She wished she could help the others but they wanted her to stay inside for her own safety.
The mirror in the room started to shake slightly, grabbing everyone's attention in the room. Once everyone was looking at the mirror, the mirror stopped. They all arched their eyebrows before widening their eyes at the next sight. Letters then began to form on the mirror slowly, covered in pure red blood.
"L-O-N-D-O-N" Alexis spelled out.
"London! That's where Seras must be" Integra concluded with a sigh. She grabbed a forgotton cigar out of her jacket before lighting it. The pink sphere then turn a slight red at the sight. Alexis let out a giggle.
"But where in London?" Walter asked. Underneath the London word, more letters began to form.
"H-E-L-L-S-I-N-G" Alucard spelled out this time.
"Mommy is in the Hellsing Manor!" Alexis squealed out of joy. The sphere turned pink before another bright flash erupted in the bedroom, forcing everyone to cover their eyes.
Once the glow once was gone, everyone looked at the woman standing in front of them. Alexis regonized her as her mother, but the rest saw as a stranger! The main reason was the red hood covering her face.
"Who are you?!" Alucard growled out as he got on an defensive stance.
"No need to get upset Alucard. I will help you get to London faster so you can waste no time" The queen replied as she snapped her fingers, summoning a portal.
"Who are you though ma'am?" Walter asked as he got closer to the portal. The woman looked at him before let her red eyes glow brightly under the dark hood.
"I'm Alexis' mother. I rule Romania as queen. However, now is not the time for questions. Now is the time to find Seras and get her back here safely. YOU MUST GO NOW!"
The group nodded before heading through the portal. Alexis was the last one to stay in the room. She looked back at her mother sadly. "Mommy . . . "
"Go Alexis. Bring your father back. He already knows about what has happened to me, but there is still hope to win if you manage to wake. Remember who your father is. He's not one to underestimated with." Her mother's words were drilled into her mind. She nodded before heading through the portal.
The small ball of the blue spirit leads the group through the streets of future London. As they walked by, they could see that the city was blown apart. Buildings were destroyed by what seems to be a big nuclear bomb. The only evidence for this was the color on the buildings. It was covered in a black ash on the brick buildings. The roads contained dead bodies of humans with dried blood on top of the black concrete. A few street lamps still held power, but they flickered every few seconds.
"What happened to this place?" Walter asked with his voice slightly cracked from shock.
"By the looks of it, a battle happened here." Integra replied, looking around the environment in shock.
"Perhaps we will get an answer when we find Police Girl." Alucard murmured quietly. Alexis looked back at him sadly. Though he was deemed No-Life King, and vampire killer that has been living for more than six centuries, he was actually worried for his fledgling.
The small blue orb stopped in the middle of the street. A blue light flashed for a second before another portal opened. The image inside the blue circular portal was the Hellsing manor. The mansion, even after all these years, still looks the same.
"Good idea Sphere. This will help us save time." Alexis commented before stepping inside the portal. She felt a rush go around her body for a millisecond as she watched herself being transported in front of the Hellsing manor. She never got tired of teleporting. The portal always makes her feel like she was in a rush, causing her adrenaline to go up. She gazed at the future manor as Sphere came to her side. She looked at him and smiled.
"She's here" Alucard thought to himself. As Alucard started to walk closer to the manor, Alexis felt a giant heartbeat go through her. Her eyes widened as the dream she had about her father flashed through her mind.
"He's here!" She screamed out as she started to run. Alucard tried to grab her arm but she was two quick. A few guards came out of their hiding spots and aimed their guns at her.
"Get out of my way!" Her screamed was followed by her shadow, consuming the solders. Their panicked looks were ignored as she ran past them, entering the house. Her running came to an immediate halt when Alucard appeared in front of her.
"Calm yourself. You don't want to do anything rash!" Alucard's baritone voice told her sternly. She was panting out of excitement and anger; however, she took a deep breath and calmed down.
"I'm sorry!" She said as she bowed to her father. Alucard's red orbs looked at her with slight disappointment but soften lightly when she apologized. Integra and Walter appeared behind them, panting heavily. Keeping up with vampires is not easy for humans. Sphere then popped out of nowhere, next to Alexis.
"Who is 'He', Alexis?" Integra asked as she caught her breath. Alexis looked behind her and looked at the Iron Maiden.
"One person I know who can end this war once and for all." She explained with a hard tone in her voice. Her heartbeat was pulsating fast out of her excitement.
A sudden alarm erupted through the whole manor, slightly jolting the group (except for Alucard, of course). Rounds of feet were heard on the upper level of the manor.
"We need to get to the basement! That's the closest hiding spot I can think of!" Alexis shouted over the alarms. Everyone nods in agreement before starting to run off in the direction of the basement. Alucard could have just phased through the floor, but he didn't want to miss out on the fun. They were very fortunate that they were only one floor above the basement.
As they made a turn left, a group of soldiers have spotted them. They opened fire as Alucard got in front to take the damage. He grinned happily as his body was nearly destroyed . . . again. Alexis sent out her shadow to consume the solders that were a few meters from them. She watched Alucard regenerate to normal before her and the group continued progression to the basement. The mirror was only a few steps in front of them. That fact alone made Alexis and Walter sweat drop slightly.
Opening the door, Alexis felt that big heartbeat echo through her body again. "Let's go!" Alucard interrupted her feeling as he picked her up and ran down the stairs. The group followed him without a word. Reaching the bottom, Alucard sensed their surroundings. There were no intruders so they continued in the hallway. The first door near them was Alucard's old throne room. The heartbeat pulsated again. She got out of Alucard's hold before making her way to open the wooden door.
The creaking of the door hinges only made the tension in the air rise. She looked ahead to see there was a body that was chained to the wall while containing a wooden stake through the chest. It was in full view since the old throne was gone from the room. Everyone walked into the room to closer examine the inside. The adults were so curious of why Alexis wanted to come inside the room so badly. Alexis scanned her eyes on the body in front of her. However; Alucard could have sworn that this body was too familiar to him.
The body was covered in black clad armor. The armor covered from the neck down and long black hair covered the bowed head. The arms were lifted up thanks to the chains on the lips. Dry blood was covered on the wooden stake as well as the wall around the body.
"We found him!" Alexis squealed excitedly. Sphere turned a bright pink color in happiness and began to fly around all over the room. The adults just arched their eyebrows before shrugging their shoulders. Alexis reached her small hands for the wooden stake, but she felt a burning sensation as the stake glowed a yellow light.
"It's a blessed stake" Alucard commented as he came closer to Alexis. "Whoever put this here made damn sure that this vampire wouldn't wake up any time soon. Judging by the flesh, he's been here at least half a decade." He then reached his hands out to touch the stake, but he too, was burned on his hand. He then grinned madly at the challenge.
"Alexis, will this vampire be able to aid in the war?" Integra asked from the distant. Her voice echoed throughout the room and landed in the small vampire's hearing.
"Yes. If we can remove the stake, and give him some blood, he might be able to stop this war." She answered in a determine voice.
"Let Alucard remove the Stake. After all, he does like a good challenge" Walter suggested as he looked at his sire. Hearing this, Alucard made his grin more noticeable. She let out a small sigh before nodding.
"Very well Walter. Alucard, go ahead and have you fun." Alucard put his hands on the stake, ignoring the burning sensation and pulled out the stake with no sweat. Alexis let out a small grin, knowing what would happen when her father wakes up.
A bright yellow light flashed throughout the dark room. Everyone, except Alucard, covered their eyes in the bright light. Alucard watched as the armor-covered body stand up on its own with no assistance. His eyes widen as he saw Sphere come closer to the body and then forcibly sucked into it. The body then glowed a dark red as the bright light died down in the room. Everyone then uncovered their eyes to look at the new vampires.
Alexis stepped closer to the body as it continued to glow. She brought her right thumb to her teeth, penetrating the skin by biting it and holding it up to him. The figure bent down and showed part of the face from behind the long black hair. His skin was rotted but as soon as the body tasted the pureblood, the skin returned in a matter of seconds. The corpse then brought in Alexis for a hug.
"Well done Alucard." Integra stated as she pointed to the figure hugging Alexis. "Who are you?"
The figure looked up slightly before standing up, taking Alexis with him in his arms. The face that everyone saw made their eyes widened, except for Alexis. Alucard stood there in pure shock.
Standing before everyone was Alucard's future himself. His face consisted of a noticeable black mustache with a light trimmed beard underneath it. His red eyes actually held kindness instead of insanity in them. The room's tension caused silence.
"Alcuard?! Is that you?" Walter's voice broke the silence in the room. Alucard's future smiled while chuckling lightly.
"I haven't been called that in over thirty years." He said in the same baritone voice, but the tone was gentler.
"Do you go by as Count now?" Integra asked.
"No. I go by as King now, but for an exception, I'll allow you to call me by one name so you won't confuse me for my past self."
Alucard narrowed his eyes and growled. "What will you have them call you?"
The king narrowed his eyes at his past self. "I would love to impale you but I can't since you're myself."
Alexis looked up at him confused. "Impale?" Her reply was her father laughing very lightly as he looked down at her.
"They don't call me Vlad the Impaler for nothing."
He's back! Whoo! As mentioned, the last chapter will be the last one. If I get enough reviews for the last chapter, then MAYBE I will post a preview of the sequal. I hope that you liked it and hopefully you want more ;p
Till then, I'll see you Later!
