Hours later Mana slowly opened her eyes after hearing movement around her, she cautiously looked around for the source of the movement. It was Alucard walking pass the bed.
"The little scientist awakens." Mana heard Alucard's voice near the door.
"Alucard" Mana said quietly and slowly sat up.
Alucard glanced at the girl as he stood over the wooden coffin, and took off the top revealing Seras.
"Police girl. Wake up." Alucard said firmly.
"Huh…what? I'm up!" Seras jumped from her sleep.
"How long was I out?" Mana mumbled causing Alucard to chuckle.
"A few hours... Longer than I expected..." Alucard replied quietly.
Mana swung her legs to the side of the bed and tried to regain her focus. Even after her forced nap she still felt weak and her mind was clouded.
"What happened...why did I pass out like that...I wasn't tired...was it-" Mana thoughts were interrupted by noises outside, and the noise helicopter blades cutting through the air. She stood wobbly and approached the large window.
"You have to see this…" Alucard chuckled.
Hesitantly Mana threw open the curtains to reveal a helicopter hovering in front of their glass patio.
"Kuso…" Mana hissed
"What the bloody hell!" Mana heard Seras yell from behind her as she shielded her eyes. The helicopter had its flood light focused on the their hotel room, Mana could see armed soldiers, and reporters on the ground below. Mana gulped as she stood dumbfounded in front of the light, without realizing Alucard had walked up behind her and closed the curtains.
"Nervous are we little Scientist?" Alucard chuckled. Mana felt Alucard brush up against her snapping her from her dumbfounded state. Nervously she quickly went over to her suitcase.
"What the hell happened?" Mana asked calmly as she pulled out a long barreled handgun, she quickly closed her suitcase.
"They knew that we were here." Alucard replied.
"Shimatta..." Mana replied as she put her heels back on. She checked the magazines of the gun revealing clear bullets with a toxic green liquid inside them.
"They are coming~" Alucard said a grin twitching at his lips.
"Maji…"Mana whined quietly as a wave of dizziness washed over her.
She knew this mission was going downhill quickly and knew something had to be done in order to ensure success of this mission. Mana turned only to wobble a bit, catching her Seras began ushering Mana towards a large armoire, pulling her from her thoughts. Mana stumbled as she and Seras crouched into the armoire. Mana cracked open the door and looked around to find Alucard had disappeared into the darkness, the hotel door was kicked open and in piled several heavily armed men.
Mana began to clear her mind for the possible upcoming fight.
"Find them, they're around here somewhere.."
"I don't have enough bullets for all of them…" Mana thought to herself
stay where you are,
Mana heard Alucard's voice echo through her mind, catching her off guard.
"Where are you-" Mana start to think, but was suddenly pulled from her thought when she heard a hail of gunshots. Mana and Seras cautiously looked through the cracked door to see Alucard's bullet riddled body on the floor.
"What the hell…" Mana thought to herself.
"There should be two women here. Kill the blonde one and leave the other one alive."
The men grunted in confirmation, just as they began to disperse Alucard chuckle echoed through the room. The men turned around in shock, the man they filled with bullets was laughing at them.
"You dogs…you may have plenty of power, but dogs cannot kill me." Alucard said although majority of his head was missing.
The men stared in horror as Alucard's holey body rose from the floor, all of his blood began to flow back into his body his once missing body parts coming back together.
"The ones who kill monsters are always human…a little unfair don't you think?" Alucard asked as he grinned evilly at the men.
The soldiers began shooting hoping to damage him, Alucard seemed to vanish as he dodged the bullets. He reappeared in front of one of them and latched on his neck instantly killing the man.
"I…Is this…real?" Mana asked herself as she continued to watch, the men screamed in horror as Alucard slaughtered them. As quickly as it started it was over.
"You two can come out now." Alucard said as he looked at the dead men in front of him. Seconds later Seras tumbled out of the armoire, leaving Mana inside.
"Get ready. We're leaving." Alucard said his back still facing Seras.
Mana sat in the armoire using her heel to prop open the door as what she witness played through her head, Seras looked at the armoire and then at her master.
"M-Master…they were humans…" Seras said nervously.
"So what." Alucard replied bluntly.
"Humans—" Seras started but was cut off by Alucard suddenly being in front of her grabbing her shirt.
"They came killing, and shooting to fulfill their duty, to be killed, shot down. That is everything. How can you call those that shoot guns and start wars human?" Alucard yelled. Seras looked at him shocked.
"I had to kill them. There was no option of letting any of them live." Alucard continued.
Mana sat quietly listening to Alucard scold Seras for questioning his actions. It was inevitable for humans to be killed in their missions, casualties were a part of their missions. Their loyalty to Hellsing came first no matter the consequences.
Seras looked at Alucard frightened realizing this Alucard released Seras's shirt and stepped away from her.
"….Mana…Seras…let's go…the darkness here is strange and surprising..." Alucard whispered as he released Seras' shirt.
Mana daintily stepped out of the armoire and began walking towards the two, Alucard walked passed Mana ignoring her as he made his way to the telephone.
Mana began grabbing her small suitcase when she noticed her hands were shaking, she didn't know if it was adrenaline still pumping through her veins or if she was actually frightened of Alucard. Turning her attention to the state of the room she looked at the blood spattered across the floor and walls, the bodies and body parts thrown in haphazard directions.
A massacre.
Shaking her head she cleared her mind regaining her focus she turned to Seras
"Miss Victoria gather the coffins…we need to leave as soon as—" Mana started when she heard Alucard laugh.
"I already have them." Seras said as she stood the now tied coffins up.
"ok good." Mana said as she placed her suitcase on the floor, and grabbed the handle.
Alucard glanced at Seras and then at Mana, Mana turned away from him.
"Take those to the roof, steal a chopper and leave. Mana go with her." Alucard ordered.
"That is not what my mission includes." Mana replied defiant.
Alucard walked over to the young girl and stared down at her, she stared up at him only to look away a few seconds later.
"It isn't, but there is a change in plans. Amusing as it would be to see Walter have a heart attack, but I cannot let you be injured." Alucard said as he tied the red straps at her collar into a bow.
Mana tried to remain calm allowing him to tie her bow; she noticed his normal chilling aura was softer.
"I'll see what happens." Mana replied as Alucard stepped away from her.
"What are you going to do Master?" Seras asked.
"I have to check out, and I'll walk out the front door. I'll let the ones who are watching above know just who they picked a fight with." Alucard smirked.
Moments after Alucard exited the room to the bottom floor, passing the bodies of dead men as the two women to the stairs to the lower floor hopping to avoid the soldiers.
"Are you sure this is a good idea?" Seras asked as she followed Mana carrying the coffins.
"If you wish you can follow Alucard through the front door." Mana replied as looked at a small device in her hand.
"I see your point…" Seras replied glumly.
There was a helicopter when I opened the window treatments…I'm not for sure if its there or not.." Mana started.
"We have to survey the area…"Seras began.
"Let's see if we can make it out of here first…and meet up with Bernadotte. We'll cut through the pool area and into the back alleys." Mana began.
"How do you know which way to go?" Seras asked.
Mana turned around and showed Seras the device she was looking at.
"Is that-" Seras started but was cut off by a bullet whizzing pass her head and almost hitting the device in Mana's hand.
Mana and Seras stopped instantly. Mana instinctively placed her hand on her gun on her thigh.
"Stay where you are." A deep voice echoed through the empty hall.
"Identify yourself." Mana ordered.
A man dressed in casual clothes walked out from the shadows, Mana instantly noticed the bayonet attached to the old rifle the man was holding.
"Something is different about him…" Seras whispered.
"Mana Sayu Dornez Mitsurugi you are to come with me." The man ordered.
Mana noticed the shiny gold plating on the handle and barrel and the intricate designs scattered across the gold platting. It seemed like Latin words, and old world designs. She looked up from the barrel of the gun and looked at the man, taking a mental picture of him. His curly brown hair and brown eyes, and the scar that started from his nose, and went up to his right eye.
"You know my name…so you must be with the Illuminati. What do you want from me?" Mana asked.
"You're quite the clever girl. Come with me and you'll find out. Otherwise the trash next to you will be shot dead." The man replied.
"Is he human?" Mana asked Seras behind her.
"Not quite…" Seras replied.
"That's all I need." Mana replied as she turned back to the man in front of her.
"First. Who are you?" Mana asked as she took off her red heels.
"Enzo. Enzo Orisini." Enzo replied with a smirk.
"Alright Enzo. You are in luck I don't have my blades…but nonetheless. Prepare for no mercy." Mana said as she cracked her knuckles.
Enzo laughed and shrugged.
"Milo said not to hurt you, but this is too good to pass up." Enzo started.
"Seras get back…" Mana ordered as she took an offensive stance.
"B-But—" Seras started.
"Shut up and-" Mana started and caught Enzo's rifle the bayonet barely missing her face.
"Almost had you." Enzo chuckled and began to apply more force, Mana's arms began to shake.
"He's definitely not human." Mana thought to herself as she felt herself being forced down. Suddenly Mana was pulled back several feet narrowly dodging the blade in Enzo's boot.
"Oh. So close…" Enzo smirked.
"Mana you didn't get cut did you?" Seras asked as she noticed some of her creamy skin exposed.
"No but my shirt…" Mana frowned and quickly grabbed her gun shooting a few shots at Enzo, Enzo quickly blocked the bullets with the barrel of his gun.
"What terrible aim—" Enzo started but was cut off by Mana's fist connecting with his stomach.
"URK-"
Mana moved lighting fast to the point Seras could almost not keep up with her movements, but her vamperic abilities allowed her to keep up with the young girl. Mana grabbed Enzo's head and slammed it into her knee knocking him back. She round housed kicked the man into a wall, before he was able to regain his standing Mana punched him in the throat, then finally took out his legs.
Before Mana was able to attack Enzo on the floor she came face to face with the bayonet of his gun.
"Ah Mana!" Seras yelled.
"One move and I won't hesitate to blow off your pretty little face." Enzo threatened as he panted heavily.
Mana remained silent and didn't move as Enzo slid back away from her keeping his gun pointed at her.
"I was...haha...definitely not expecting such a harsh reaction haha!" Enzo chuckled as he wiped blood from his face.
"Never underestimate the enemy." Mana commented still in her crouched position.
Suddenly the butt of Enzo's rifle connected with the side of Mana's head causing her to fall to the side. Enzo swiftly kicked Mana in her stomach causing her to slide back into Seras.
"Mana!" Seras yelled as she crouched down to the heavily panting girl.
"Don't think you're tough and shit when someone has their gun pointed at your face." Enzo said and spat blood.
Seras growled as she stood, barring her fangs, Enzo chuckled.
"Do not tempt me bitch." Enzo said as he pointed his rifle at Seras.
"These are holy bullets and each of these will put you closer to hell."
"I dare you to try it! I'll rip you to shreds" Seras hissed knowing his words were none the less true, her master gave her a mission and she intended to complete it.
"If you insist." Enzo shrugged and aimed. He fired, without warning the gun exploded in his face.
"What-?" Seras started
Mana laughed as Enzo howled and crumbled to the floor in pain. She slowly got up from the floor and walked passed Seras who looked at her strangely. Mana stood over the man howling in pain as he covered his face, she whipped out her handgun and shot the man's kneecaps. Enzo howled as he attempted to grab his kneecaps, Mana stepped on his right hand and shot his left.
"Your true colors." Mana commented as she saw the once human face now half transformed.
"A werewolf…" Seras hissed as she got closer to view the man.
"Kill him before he transforms completely." Seras added.
"You stupid bitches I'll kill you. Fuck what Milo wants!" Enzo hissed.
Mana dug the heel of her foot deeper into Enzo's hand breaking the bones in his fingers ignoring Enzo's cringing face. She relented only to place a bullet into his hand.
"These bullets are corrosive. You will not move from where you are." Mana commented.
"W-What?" Enzo sputtered.
"A Mitsurugi special." Mana smirked.
Mana looked down at the man who writhed in pain before her. Without warning Mana shot two shots into Enzo's shoulders, Enzo's mouth opened in a silent yell.
"M-mana…" Seras whispered as she continued to watch her disable the man.
"Now…" Mana said and smirked.
"You will not be able to move your hands, arms, and legs." Mana said as she dantily sat on Enzo's chest.
"You fucking bitch!" Enzo yelled.
"You have such a naughty mouth…I'm embarrassed…" Mana said sarcastically.
"You know how this works."
Seras covered her nose as held on to the coffins. The smell of decaying flesh attacked her heightened senses, as she got closer she was able to see the acid eating slowly eating away at the entry point on Enzo's wounds.
"Hahaha…you're joking." Enzo panted.
"No I'm not." Mana replied seriously and applied pressure to Enzo's right shoulder. Enzo hissed in pain and breathlessly began to laugh.
"Momento Mori…" Enzo whispered
"Momento Mori…" Mana thought to herself.
Suddenly Seras ducked barely missing a bullet whizz pass her head, Mana quickly got off of Enzo keeping her head low and her handgun pointed into the dark.
She knew that it was a warning shot but still kept her guard up, she crouched near Enzo who began laughing.
"If I was you I would run…those are only warning shots…" Enzo panted.
More shots flew pass the two women masking the sounds of footsteps approaching them.
"Miss Seras get out of here…those are holy bullets." Mana commented still keeping her sight and weapon trained on the unknown approaching figure masked in the dark.
"But—" Seras started.
"Go." Mana ordered.
Seras cautiously stood up and began to run down the hall still holding on to the precious cargo. Seconds after Seras ran pass Mana spotted a gun barrel similar to Enzo's pointing out of the darkness.
Mana remained silent as she looked at the figure still masked by the darkness of the night.
"I suggest you leave now before I change my mind about taking you with us by force." A male voice came from the darkness.
"What makes you think I'll turn my back to you for one second?" Mana asked.
"You're asking about trust…My comrade is dying next to you…I will lower my weapon." The unknown man said as he lowered his weapon, he placed the gun on the ground and kicked it near Enzo.
"Mana! C'mon on!" Seras yelled a few feet behind her.
Hesitating Mana stepped backwards keeping her gun pointed at the hidden man, she was forced to retreat. After sinking into the darkness with Seras Mana quickly ran off with Seras behind her.
"It sure did take you long enough." Enzo muttered.
The unknown man walked into the light as he picked up his gun, and looked down at Enzo.
"You were defeated..."
"Thanks for the reminder Felix." Enzo hissed as he felt the acid in his wound.
"Corrosive bullets…" Felix said as he knelt down to Enzo.
Felix grabbed the pieces of Enzo's rifle before he carefully picked Enzo from the ground, Enzo grunted in pain.
"We need to report to Milo. I am sure he will not like what has happened here." Felix commented.
A/N: Happy Holidays! Here's the next chapter and its out just in time for Christmas~ I love this season so much and I'm a summer baby. :)
In the previous chapter Alucard spoke Hungarian, I did some research on that. When he reigned they spoke Hungarian, but today Romanian is the language spoken. I had him speak Hungarian because that was his language back then...but if you disagree with it message me and I'll consider changing it.
More Mana, Less Alucard. She's still wobbly from the incident with Alucard's coffin. It was her first time using her customized hand gun, and she encountered the Illuminati to find out that they want her. But Why? Mana showed off some of her skills, a little sadistically sarcastic no?
Maji: Seriously...
Kuso: Damn it!
Shimatta: Oh Shoot... ( depending on how forceful it is said it can also mean oh shit )
