Chapter 5: Curiosity reveals the Cat part: 3

The curious cat reveals itself bringing along some formidable foes. A stolen book of mysteries and a divine sword prompts Integra into action.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Alucard ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

He lays back in his large hard wooden chair, his back resting on the red exterior cushion, his arm and elbows position on the chairs arms. The room was perfectly dark and quiet, next to his side is his favorite red wine, his head rested on the chair like he was in a peaceful slumber. His legs crossed, hands entangled and resting on his lap. It's been awhile sense he had experience such peace after all, he had been fighting all of his familiars for 30 years, all except one and only one, the one that allow him to acknowledge his own existent in this world. That child, and only that child, that lives within him now was once an underling of his former Master's foe and with his particular power it allowed him to exist at this moment, at this year, at this time, and at this day with his mistress and his Draculina. This child's power is truly amazing, he can now exist within worlds he himself could not even dream of seeing, in dimensions and realms that were held sacred to other are now places that he can go to at his own free whim.

He inhaled the room's air; everything was as it was 30 years ago, the building, the stones, the carpet and even the furniture, the stuffy cool smell emitting from this old room, where he now and will always come to rest. It had not change, not one bit. Integra must've kept it the same, in hopes in one day that the Dark Count may return some day and indeed he has return to this place once again and forever more.

It's quiet, so quiet but there's something faint, the faintness is small at first but it's moving and pulsating, like a shining blinking light or more like a small throbbing heartbeat, like as if something was coming. Something coming forth, something coming forth in a hurry, like the sound of a heart beating faster and faster towards him. His eyes slowly open, what was this strange feeling he was experiencing? His eyes peered up at the door but there was nothing, no one. He suddenly feel like he was being watch from somewhere by someone. How odd someone watching him? He quickly brush away the notion but something brushed along his feet, he looks down and saw a black cat rubbing against his leg. He made a grim look, displeased by the sight of this creature that has disturbed his precious peace, it was an annoyance to his eyes. Why is this damn thing here? He thought to himself.

Alucard leans down, his hand approaching toward the feline creature, the cat hissed at him and runs towards the center of the room. It stopped just before reaching the end of the room and turned around staring back at him. How annoying it is? To have such a creature show such fangs at him, killing it should resolve the matter and allow him to return to his slumber, but this animal possessed a feeling that he had never felt before that alerted him to disrupt his tranquility. This feeling was bewitching of some sort, like an illusion? A figment of an image twisting and changing his perception of his world, who would dare change his world that he arrived back to and cast such feeble illusions on him?

"What are you witch?" he replied to the animal. Alucard didn't move from his chair, he remained as he was, never faulting from his position, he tilted his head back. Such bewitching spells were child's play to him and by all mean he is neither a child nor a plaything for someone's amusement. However, he was indeed curious, the cat perks his interest a bit, what is this creature that dare stare at him, this cat was no ordinary animal, nor ordinary human to cast such childish things at him, it was ridiculous on the borderline of ridiculousness.

Its glowing blue eyes met at the red glowing eyes. The cats form changes, its silhouette stretches longer and wider, its formed appeared to be of a naked woman. How amusing he thought, he haven't seen a form like that in quite a while even though he has seen plenty of that form before in his former time, none has stretch out before him in this type of way, it almost seem as if he was watching a performance.

"That's very Brilliant little girl….and you came all this way to show me such a performance...Are you prepared to die now, cunt? " He clapped in amusement, indeed this was brilliant, absolutely brilliant to have come this far only and to be crush by him at least the performance was worth watching before he end this flowers life.

The woman made no response to him, she stretched out her hands and cut her wrist with her long finger nails, blood trickles outs flowing down her arm, and she then cuts her other wrist. The blood from the two wounds starts to engulf her whole body, from her head to her toes in a slow slither, the blood covers her entire body like a red crystal like armor only her blue eyes remain unsealed. She crouches down to the ground, she pressed her hand on the floor, the blood made a hand print on the stony floor and the figure rose back to her original stance. For a moment the shadow underneath her grew larger almost engulfing half the room, glowing blue eyes emerges from the shadowy form and a loud hissing noise followed by a low ringing growl, a wide stretch Cheshire shark grin appeared from within the shadowy form.

"Oh, how interesting! What now? What will you show me, now?" Indeed a display of such power is truly a vivid performance, he hasn't seen such power before, but this was nothing compare to his. What will she show him now that she had now displayed such power; the anticipation over this is exciting. A new opponent after his long absence, it is as he had hope for that there was still wickedness in this world and that his presence here and now was because he will be unraveling it, ravaging it, consuming it, and destroy this wickedness that continues to plague this world of humanity. As long as they exist he would continue to have purpose.

A sword rises from the bloody paw print on the ground; the sword had a gold handle and gold outlining the brown sheath, her hand placed firmly on the handle. She pulled the blade from it sheath and stared at the red grinning devil that now stands before her.

"Oh a woman of few words, different from the women I'm use to fighting. I'm really going to enjoying this." Alucard smirk as he pulled out his Casull gun from his jacket and started shooting 5 rounds, the bullets bounce offed the woman's bloody armor, and she caught one of the bullets between her fingers tips and observed at the silver object.

"Blessed Silver…huh….How useless" said the woman and she flicked the bullet away as if she was swapping a fly. Alucard shot 20 additional rounds and all 20 bullets bounce off her red clad armor which seemed impenetrable.

Alucard remained in amusement, how exciting he thought his bullets are useless to that armor of hers. However everything was not completely protected by her red armor. He targeted the gun at her head but slightly position it to the left and fire 2 rounds in her unarmored blue eyes. The force of the bullets resulted in pushing her backwards shattering her red crystal armor, a loud painful yelp escapes her lip as the bullet pierces her left and right eye leaving two holes in her head. Her body lands bloody on the floor.

"Now then, I guess curiosity really did kill the cat" he replied as he strides over to where her body had landed, a Cheshire grin slides across his face, it is time to reap his reward and consume this bloody whelp who dared to oppose him.

~~~~~~~~~~~~ Sera ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

That woman had dissolve into the black cat again and scurried off somewhere, however she left behind two enemies that Seras is currently defending herself against. One of these enemies is a very small girl maybe similar to her age; her whole body fully emerges from the shadowed floor. She had a very slender frame, wearing what appears to be a cross tattoo on her neck, a black and red tie blouse and a black mini skirt. Her hair was very black and fine scooped back in pony tail with long bangs, the girl pulled out a semi-automatic pistol on her left hand along with a katana blade that held on her right. The other enemy was the complete opposite of the young girl. He was very large as far as width, he had a large stomach, large hairy hands and was bald at the top of his head but he was indeed a very fat old man, the man pulled out a large folded fan from the shadow with strange purple Asian writings on it. The young girl shoots at Sera but Seras ducks into cover for safety, it is not known if they are carrying silver bullets but it's always better to be safe than sorry, since this is an unknown enemy is what Seras thought.

"Damn at a time like this…." Sera thought, she had left Harkkonnen in her room, so she is completely defenseless, well not completely, the other operatives must have heard the gun fire and should be arriving to assist Seras soon, she just need to delay them long enough for the other operative to get to her position in the manor. At any case, who are those people and what do they want? How can this be happening at the headquarters again after all these years?

"Oye…..you fat tub of lar….help me out wouldcha" said the girl as she continues to shoot a couple of rounds at Seras' position, trying to push her out of her hiding area.

'Heh!…you're doing fine without me…..and I like to watch Miya-chan" said the heavy set man who was picking his nose and watching them fight. He leans and rested his side against the wall as he took the nose mucus covered finger into his mouth eating the substance.

"You son of a bitch….at least be a decoy." Miya replied angrily, as if she was disgusted by the sight of him and his manners.

"Yeah...Yeah….If I do that who's gonna stop the other operatives? We only need to occupy them until Queenie is done and whose going to protect Miya-chan from the big bad Operatives, right Miya-chan?" he replied licking he finger.

"Sero is a Baka-ero!" Miya said loudly, who suddenly become distracted by the conversation with Sero resulting her to stop shooting and looks at Sero with the determination to kill him with the gun she is holding.

"Whatcha say I am not an idiot, you flat chested little…" said the man. Seras looks on dumbfounded, they really arguing at a time like this? Perhaps this may be a good time to escape and get to Sir Integra. She needed to alert her of the situation and protect her of that black cat, Mina, no the person named Queenie who is here to harm her. Sera's quietly and carefully tip toes to the door while the two bicker.

"Who're you calling flat, fatty?" Miya eyes drifted back to Seras who was trying to make an attempt to escape, she target the gun and shot at the door before Seras was able to exit through it.

"Mistress said not to kill anyone, but I wonder if she will make you an exception?" said Miya as she tilts her head back at Seras. Seras stares at Miya and Miya stared backed, they seem locked in a staring contest until Seras duck through the door and ran down the hallway. Miya shocked by the wild outburst, quickly pursues, Seros laughing at the situations follows behind them.

"Oi, comeback here?" Miya ignores Seros loud laughter and continues to pursue Seras down a hallway.

Seras stops midway and turns around and lunges at Miya at full force. Miya started by the attempt but draws her swords for a counter attack and swings at her, Seras dodges the swing and tries to punch Miya in the face, but she back flips away to dodge the blow creating some distance between herself and Seras. Suddenly an overwhelming rush of footsteps rushing into the area, it was all of the Hellsing's operatives and Integra herself, who look unharmed but alarmed by the presence of the intruders. Integra quickly draws her sword from it sheath in sight of the two enemies that dare stand in her mansion.

"What the hell is going on? Who are you people?" Integra declared as she pointed her sword towards the two unknown characters.

"Oops, it's time to go Miya-chan. Queenie wants us to return now." said the plump Sero whose shadow underneath him grew bigger than his body and engulfs his large frame.

"Che…" replied Miya disappointedly. Miya walks into the shadow and turns around to Seras.

"Next Time…..Seras Victoria. Blleeeeeeeh!" Miya replied before spitting her tongue out at her like some immature brat who lost a game. Miya's whole body is engulfing by the shadow and the shadow dissolved in the floor. Sera startled by the reaction, but doesn't retaliate to the immature scene, but simply gave a deep sigh that escaped from her lips. Wait a minute, how did she know Seras' full name? Who are these people and what did they really want?

"Seras are you alright? Who were those people and what where were they doing here?" Integra walks over to Seras and slides her sword back into its sheath.

"Yes I'm fine Sir. I don't know…..wait….they said they were occupying us until someone name Mina….ah.I…I mean…Queenie was done!" replied Sera, she put her finger on her lips trying to understand the meaning to their conversation.

"Queenie was done! Where is Alucard?" Integra shouted.

"I don't know ma'am, I…" Seras was interrupted with a loud thunderous sound that seems to come further down the dark hallways. Both Integra and Seras rushed down the hallway to Alucards chambers.

~~~~~~~~ Alucard ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As he reaches out and grabs the woman's armed to claim his reward the entire body dissolved like acid into the floor. It burned through the cracks of the stony floor. What this he wondered, if that's a decoy then, his train of thought was interrupted by the woman's voice but he could not locate from where the voice was coming from.

"Above you!" Alucard looks up and was shot with some type of strange bullets that electrified his body. Alucard releases a blood coated tendril that lunges at her but the woman swings the sword at it and it quickly turned into ashes. She targets the pistol and shot another two rounds but missed both bullets landed opposite side of the room. She jumped from the ceiling to the ground where her bloody paw print was. She clasps her hands together and started speaking what sounded like Latin versus of a strange incantation:

A caelo usque ad centrum,
A Deucalione,
Ab aeterno,
Ab antique,
Ad astra,
Ad lucem ,
Ad mortem adsum,
Caedite eos. Novit enim Dominus qui sunt eius,
Beati possidentes ,
Alenda lux ubi orta libertas absolutum dominium,
Carpe diem carpe noctem

(English Translation)
From the sky to the center,
From Deucalion,
From the eternal,
From the ancient,
To the stars,
To the light,
I am here [to] kill them.
For the Lord knows those who are his,
Blessed are those who possess,
Light [is] to be nourished where liberty [has] arisen [in] absolute dominion,
Seize the day [and]Seize the night.

The blood print hand stretch into what seems like a casting circle, the blood connected around the bullets that where missed earlier, the circle surrounds Alucard. The bonds on his hands react to the seal and locked his arms together inclosing it like an invisible straight jacket. The blood circle breaks into long threads that wrap around him forcing down on the flooring wrapping him completely except for his face.

He couldn't move his whole body was numb or paralyzed; he couldn't fill his fingers, his arms, his hands, nothing. Who is this damned woman? No one but the head of the Hellsing family knows about this incantation of his seals that bonds him to the organization. How was this possible?

"I'll finish what grandfather should have done, you plague of pestilence" She walks over to him and stop a few inches from his head. She raised the sword again above her head, and charges the sword toward his head.

"Angelina Stop!" the sword stops mire inches from his head. Angelina looks over to see a shocked Integra. Seras was right behind Integra her mouth wide open. Angelina? Who is this Angelina? Just an hour ago she was name Mina if memory hasn't failed Seras. Clearly this is someone familiar to Integra, but who was she and why is she trying to kill Seras' master? Seras watches Integra as she walks over towards Angelina.

"I…I..have always new you and Orianna were still alive, Angelina I searched for you every.." Integra was cut off before she could finish.

"Inti-chan, No I mean Sir Integra Fairbrooks Wingates Hellsing" Angelina lowered her sword to her side; she did not change position but remained where she stood.

Inti-chan? Seras thought, those two seem to know each other on a personal basis it would seem.

"The little girls you use to look up to…are dead, Integra. They both died years ago. I am the embodiment of pain, suffering and vengeance, my dear Integra" Replied Angelina. What did she mean by that? In Integra eyes she is still that little girl that she grew up with and looked up too. She practically followed her and her twin sister everyday even when Arthur scolded her for doing so. What has happen too her? She seems so distant, so different. If she's alive does that mean that Orianna and Aunt Cameilla are still alive? Where has she been? Why was has she appear now after all these years of searching for her?

"Well at any case, I only came here to retrieve something but I thought it would be fun to test my new sword, soo sorry Integra. I guess I should have a called first" chuckled Angelina but Integra was not laughing. This was certainly not a laughing matter at all. She broke into the Hellsing manor and cause and uproar within the facility. What was she thinking? There were some many questions she wanted to ask her. Wait, sword, Integra looks at the sword it was long with some strange green writing that are fading in the blade light.

"Sword…that sword.." Integra replied before being cut off again.

"Yes, Integra, This is the sword of Joan of Arc. An ancient relic, I wanted to know if I can kill Alucard with this. My hypothesis was correct, his body can be turn into ashes when the blade runs through him. Truly amazing isn't it, Integra" replied Angelina as she marveled at the long silver blade.

"That blade…..Joan of Arc? That was just a story it was said that no man could wield that blade and it was lost over the centuries ago" replied Integra. Joan of Arc sword it is true that no man was able to wield the sword and so it became lost over the ages because no one can wield it.

"It's true, no man can't….but a woman, a virgin woman can. After all Joan was indeed a virgin woman!" chuckled Angelina. That is true, they say that she was a pure virgin and that god gave her the sword to slay the infidels, but how did she get that sword? Where did she get? Why did she want to see how powerful the sword is? This was what Integra been thinking.

"Well I had enough of giving you a history lesson, I did come here for grandfathers book" replied Angelina, Grandfather's book? Integra does not recollect on any books that Abraham have left behind, there was no mentioning at least not to her knowledge. If Angelina is thinking about all of the occult knowledge that hellsing family accumulated over the years it wouldn't be in some book.

"Book, what book are you talk?" Integra replied.

"Ohh, uncle didn't tell you? Well then I tell you. The book contains all of grandfathers journal including entries of some rare occult magic, that greatly interests me" Angelina walked over to Alucards chair and picked it up and threw it out of the way, she lean down to slammed her fist in the stone pulling out what appears to be a box of some sort. She opens the box and pulled out a red velvet bag as her search through the bag she pulled out a thick black covered book.

"After so many years of searching, I finally found it. Now there only one thing left" replied Angelina. She opened the booked and glanced through the pages and slight smirk appeared on her face and read a small passage.

"Left…What do you mean?!" questioned Integra.

Angelina moves her attention from the book toward Integra. "My dear Integra, It does not concern you."

"I don't appreciate you sneaking in here and using my servant as your play thing, Angelina. Even if you are a Hellsing" After all these years of searching for her, she tried every source that she could think of to find her beloved aunt and cousins but their existence was smeared by Richard coup, and now that Angelina has finally shown herself what could this mean? And why does she possess such weapons? What are her motives behind this? It almost seems as if she is gathering something for something big that Integra is not aware and keeping her in the dark for some reason, but what is this something that prevents Angelina from speaking to her? After all they were beloved cousins who once shared this manor together, once shared their dreams and secrets, she felt her heart squeeze to see her now so cold-like, her eyes where dead, there was no life, no light in her eyes anymore just dark and cold. She was so different, so different from before.

"I am not a Hellsing. Remember it well Integra, you are the last and only head of Hellsing...well...at any case, I will allow this dog of yours to live, he is much more loyal than that Walter-kun….don't you agree, Integra? " said Angelina shadow started to grow.

"What do you…" Integra was cut off before finishing.

"Good-bye Integra. I will not come back here again" The shadow cat appear again, and Angelina walks into the darkness of the shadowy creature. The strange bond unwrap themselves from Alucard's body a sigh of relief expelled from Seras lips but Integra remain silent.

"Ah…Sir Integra" Sera spoken trying to break the quiet tension.

"I am withdrawing for today, have the maids clean this up and...you and Alucard will report to me tomorrow morning, we must figure out what she's planning before it becomes into action" Integra steamed as she walked out of the room. It's true that Walter and Richard betrayed the family. Back in her prime when Walter was still her servant, Walter blame the disappearance of Cameilla, Angelina and Orianna was Richard' scheme to become the head of the organization but now after knowing Walter's betrayal and hearing that statement from her it has become apparent that Walter had something to do with their disappearance. What did he do to them to have made her this distant, this cold, this resentful? She needs to investigate this to understand Angelina, what had happen to her and maybe it will lead her to find out what's happened to Orianna and Camiella and what detail information is inside that book? It's true, her father has never spoken to her about this book that Angelina reference. There must be some extremely valuable information in that book for her to appear here and steal such an item, it almost seems like her actions were made out of desperation. If that's the case, then there must be something big coming, something threatening to her, this also means that she too may need to be on guard and will need to gather information fast to face whatever it is that's causing Angelina's desperations.
