Sir Integra looked through the files in front of her. Police files, witness accounts, satellite photos. It was all pertaining to a horrific series of murders that had taken place, in which the victims were so horribly shredded, the killers were clearly inhuman. The victims had then been risen again as ghouls. Alucard and Seras had been sent to deal with the vampire behind it. Dante was with them.
Integra looked up as Walter entered, giving her another file.
"Sir Integra, our Vatican intelligence agent tells us that Iscariot has sent someone to deal with the vampires. Only one agent was sent, the Paladin, Father Alexander Anderson. Otherwise known as Dust to Dust Anderson, or Off With Its Head Anderson."
Integra stood. "Ready a helicopter as well as my sword and gun, and two bodyguards."
"Of course, mam."
"God, I hope they haven't started killing each other yet."
Seras started to lift her glove, ready to drink the blood on it from the ghoul she had just killed. Suddenly, a series of shining blades impaled her through the back, causing her to fall to the floor. Alucard turned to see a man in a white coat walking down the stairs at the end of the hall, holding blades like the ones in Seras. Blessed blades.
"The Vatican's monster hunting division. The Iscariot organisation."
"Right you are, you Hellsing dogs. So you're the great vampire Alucard."
Anderson and Alucard moved so they were shoulder to shoulder, and both suddenly attacked. Anderson impaled Alucard, but was shot in the chest in the process, falling to the floor while Alucard removed the blessed blades from his chest.
Alucard then leaned over Seras, and was about to remove the blades, when Anderson rose to his feet. Anderson started slashing at Alucard, while Alucard fired bullets back. Anderson's face regenerated, pushing the bullets out. He then shoved Alucard against the wall, stabbing multiple blades into the vampire's chest. Anderson then raised two more bayonets and slashed off Alucard's head.
"Amen."
Anderson began to laugh, when he became aware of someone clapping. He turned to see Dante standing between him and Seras, who was now holding Alucard's head.
"Who are you? You dress like him, but you look very different. I hope you're stronger than him, too. He's a joke."
Dante moved closer. "Alucard never fights properly at first. He finds a decapitation very motivational, though. Until his head grows back, I'll be your opponent this evening."
Dante stood right up close to Anderson, while Anderson readied his Bayonets. Anderson lunged at Dante with his blades, while Dante casually gripped the blades and tossed Anderson to the floor. Dante then fired a shot into Anderson's back, before kicking the fallen Anderson right down the hall.
Anderson came charging back, the bullet falling out of his back and onto the floor as he ran.
"Ashes to ashes, dust to dust. I am the instrument of God's holy retribution on Earth. Amen."
Anderson reached Dante, who had quickly placed Seras behind himself. The two locked blades, and Dante easily shoved Anderson back. Anderson flung a blade into Dante's chest, and Dante took a step back. The blessed blade had pierced his heart. Anderson then readied two more blades and prepared to slash at Dante again.
To Anderson's horror, Dante vanished, the blades missing him completely. In the same instant, Dante appeared behind Anderson, sticking the blessed blade he had just pulled out of his own heart into the back of the man who had stabbed him. Dante then picked up Anderson and threw him to the other end of the hall. Anderson stood again, heading slowly back towards Dante and Seras.
Anderson charged at Dante, readying more blessed blades, but was surprised when Dante easily kept pace, blocking or dodging every slash, shattering Anderson's blessed bayonets with his own demonic blade, which was much stronger. Anderson readied a fresh bayonet for each slash, but Dante was keeping pace so effortlessly it was actually insulting. Dante was playing with Anderson. Finally, there was a flash of red light, and Dante slammed into Anderson, simply collecting him with his far superior strength. A few more blows were exchanged, Dante still keeping easily ahead of Anderson. Finally, Dante spun Anderson around, slashing him straight through the back, splitting the insane Paladin in half.
Seras cradled Alucard's head, crying. She heard the sounds of Dante defeating Anderson, but she was far too upset about the loss of Alucard to care much. She had seen Alucard's head taken off before, but it had regrown then. She started when Alucard's head faded. A swarm of bats then filled the hallway, and Alucard stood beside Seras, completely unharmed. Dante moved over to join them.
"What took you so long, you old bastard? Met a nice girl and lost track of time?"
Integra walked into the hallway, and was half relieved, half angry to see Alucard, Dante and Seras standing over the dismembered corpse of Alexander Anderson.
"He attacked you?"
Alucard moved over to Integra, smiling.
"He attacked the police girl and then cut my head off. Dante killed him, though."
Integra turned to Dante, who was checking Seras' sword wounds.
"Dante. You do realise that man was Iscariot? The Vatican will be very angry about this."
Dante shrugged. "Sorry, but I don't care if he was Jesus Christ. He attacked Seras and Alucard, and he wanted to kill them both for no reason. If the Vatican want trouble, let them pick it with me. I'll kick their asses for hiring a maniac like him."
As Dante left, Integra chuckled.
"Just the answer I'd expect from you, Dante. You never did care much for authority. Or danger."
Integra turned back to Alucard. "The Vatican will have to wait. We have another enemy in the shadows. One far more dangerous than Iscariot."
"Give me the order, master, and I'll grind them into dust."
"Perhaps I will give that order. You may just get your bloodbath, Alucard. But for now, we need to investigate. Find out what we're dealing with."
