Once again Mana felt herself teetering between unconsciousness and consciousness. She felt drunk and lethargic as Alucard carried her back to their unknown location.
"What happened to her?" Cain asked as he trailed behind Alucard.
"Oh nothing in particular…she's just a little tired." Alucard replied sarcastically. Alucard smirked when he heard the blond haired man curse behind him.
"I'm not stupid you know." Cain spoke up again.
"Good. Stay that way." Alucard replied sarcastically brushing the man off. Cain glared daggers at the man's back and followed in silence. Mana was still and silent as Alucard carried her, Alucard glanced down at the silent woman in his arms and smirked. He could feel all of her thoughts swirling through her mind, thoughts of today and other things he didn't understand. He turned his attention back to the path they were taking.
"Ka…Kanue…" Mana whispered suddenly.
"Ni-nigero…nigero…onegai…onegai…" Mana whimpered. Alucard looked down at Mana again his interest piqued.
"…I…I didn't have a choice…" Mana whimpered as she looked distantly at the man that carried her. Alucard slowed his pace as he continued to focus on Mana.
"Didn't have a choice for what?" Alucard asked softly. Mana's hand reached up to touch Alucard's cheek but stopped before touching him.
"…hito…wa…tasukenai…" Mana replied in Japanese as she let her hand fall back into her lap letting unconsciousness take over her.
"What happened? Is she ok?" Cain asked worriedly as he noticed that Alucard had slowed his pace.
"She's fine…let's hurry." Alucard replied and continued walking at his original pace.
Mana slowly opened her eyes as soft hum buzzed around her quickly glancing around she realized she was in an airplane. As she sat up in her seat she noticed Alucard's and Sera's coffins in the back of the plane, and Alucard's red trench coat on her lap. Alucard sat across from her and was asleep.
"So what happened to her?"
"I dunno…I just saw Alucard walking from the upstairs rooms and he had her in his arms…and he was being a jackass and didn't tell me anything."
"Yep…sounds like a creeper eh."
Mana heard Dimitri, Cain and Bernadotte's voice coming from the cockpit of the plane. She pinched the bridge of her nose and then rubbed her temples, she decided to ask Integra if she would have to deal with people that would want to steal her energy. The after effects of Irvine's presence around her were almost drained her. There was a dull pain in the back of her head and her body sluggish. After smoothing her hair she glanced over at Alucard and noticed blood trialing down his cheeks. Quickly reacting and ignoring her sore muscles she moved over to the sleeping man and realized the blood seemed liked tears.
"He's…crying…blood?" Mana thought to herself confused. Cautiously she leaned over the man and began to slowly wipe away the tears with her dress. Alucard's eyes shot open as he grabbed her wrist, his fangs bared. Mana froze instantly.
"A—Alucard-sama…" Mana whispered quietly. Alucard sighed as he looked at the startled woman. She had a piece of her red dress in her hand that had stains on it.
"Mana…" Alucard sighed softly as he noticed the creamy skin of her upper thighs.
"Are you trying to repay me for saving you?" Alucard smirked as he continued to look down at her exposed thighs.
"N-No…I saw blood and I moved on instinct." Mana replied as she quickly lowered her dress. Alucard glanced over her before he brought his hand up to wipe away the stream of blood on his face. Mana quickly retreated back to her seat to calm herself from being embarrassed.
"Are we returning to London?" Mana asked.
"Yes. An order from my master." Alucard replied.
"I see…I hope I wasn't too much of a burden while I was unconscious. I had a mission to complete." Mana started.
"It was nothing. Just do what you are ordered to do." Alucard replied. There was silence between the two as the faint voices from the cockpit of the three men joking around.
"Who is Kanue?" Alucard suddenly asked.
Mana quickly turned her head in his direction and narrowed her eyes dangerously. The air in the compartment became tense causing the man to smirk.
"It seems like I've hit something good…" Alucard replied as he felt Mana's silent malice permeate through the room.
"I will not hesitate to put you down if you do choose to attack me little scientist." Alucard chuckled.
"How did you hear of that name?" Mana asked as she gripped the chair cushion, her nails sinking into the material.
"From you. You told me." Alucard replied smugly as he looked at Mana adjacent from him.
"Lies." Mana hissed.
"Hold your tongue or I'll bite it off." Alucard replied firmly. Mana's face instantly flushed, the beginning the phrase was something her parents used as she grew up.
"Gomen Nasai...Sorry...just...please forget about that name." Mana quickly said and turned away from the man towards the window. Alucard watched Mana turn away with a smirk on his lips. She had unknowingly told him a little of her blocked history just reminding him how much he was going to enjoy pulling it from her the hard way.
The small door to the cockpit opened, Mana and Alucard turned their attention to the person emerging from the room.
"Mana." Dimitri said as he approached her, Mana nodded acknowledging the man.
"How do you feel?" Dimitri asked as she leaned on the seat next to her.
"I am doing well." Mana replied. Dimitri nodded as he looked over the woman. He glanced over his shoulder at Alucard noticing the man's eyes were closed. He turned his attention back to the woman looking up at him.
"Once we return to London Sir Integra has ordered for you, Alucard, and Sears to attend a meeting and relay the information you both have collected from the informant." Dimitri started.
"Will I have time to prepare?" Mana asked.
"Truthfully...Not really." Dimitri replied. Mana looked down at her clothing, then quickly glanced around for her bag she carried.
My—" Mana started.
"Everything is back there." Dimitri replied before she could finish. Mana lifted herself slightly to view the trunk.
"Thank you." Mana replied as she lowered herself back into her seat. Dimitri nodded and headed back to the cockpit before he glanced at Alucard before closing the door to the cockpit. Quickly scanning through her memories she stood up and headed over to her belongings.
"Yare…yare…" Mana said quietly to herself as she pulled out her cell phone from her bag. She had recorded the conversation between herself, Alucard, and Irvine just in case if she needed later. Grabbing her messenger bag she pulled out a pad of paper and pen and began to jot down notes for her upcoming meeting with Sir. Integra.
Mana pushed opened two large doors as she, Alucard and Seras entered into the large chamber. A large table sat in front of the group, one side of the table had all of its seats full, on the opposite corner furthest from the door, sat Integra with Walter next to her, cross from the unnamed men sat Maxwell. Alucard confidently walked into the room followed by Mana and Seras.
"I have returned my master." Alucard called announced with a grin plastered on his lips.
"You've done your duty well, all of you my servants." Integra replied. Mana stood by the door to the room as Alucard and Seras approached Integra. She noticed two men dressed in black suits that stood in on the sides of a person cloaked by darkness.
"You stand before the Queen. Remove your sunglasses." Integra ordered the man, instantly his glasses were in his hands.
"T-The Queen?!" Mana thought to herself. She glanced at Seras who glanced back at her, Seras nodded as if she was confirming her thoughts.
"The Queen of England…" Mana thought to herself and allowed her mind to wonder back when she was younger, and different. Flashes of the Japanese royalty quickly went through her mind as more of her past memories started to surface. Quickly clearing her mind she placed a piece of her hair behind her ear pulling herself back into current times.
"The Letztes Battalion. The remnant last troops of the third Reich." Alucard stated.
"The Germans?" Mana thought to herself. The Illuminati originated from Italy, Italy were allies to the Germans during World War II according to her history books. Mana began to wonder if the Illuminati and this old Third Reich had ties with each other, and if movement from the Illuminati caused the Third Reich to move and vice versa. Another piece of her collected data bothered her, where did the other organizations fit in to this complicated puzzle piece.
"The Free Masons, The Knights of Seth, the Rosicrucians, and the Palladists, where do they fit?"Mana thought to herself. Shifting her stance she realized a young teen standing next to her. Startled Mana stepped away from the teen as a small squeak escaped her lips. Instantly everyone in the room turned to Mana and the unknown teen.
"Woah…hold your horses now…no need to get violent." The teen's deep voice echoed through the room. The two suited men and an unknown woman had pulled their guns and pointed them at the teen and Mana.
"I'm just a messenger…relax…relax…" The teen said as he held up his hands to show that he had no weapons. Mana followed the teen cautiously as she held one hand behind her back on the small handgun that Walter was able to bring her. She couldn't figure out how the teen made it into the room without making a noise or how he was able to sneak up on her.
"How did you get in. Walter?" Integra asked.
"There are no signs of forced entry Sir. Our security has not been compromised." Walter replied as he glanced at Mana, Mana glanced at the older man standing next to the blond woman.
"Tubalcain…or 'Mr. Dandy' showed me the way so don't even waste your breath. I am everywhere and nowhere." The teen replied as he sat a small screen on the table and made sure that everyone was able to see the screen. Mana continued to study the teen and realized there were a pair of fuzzy ears on top of his ears.
"A Werewolf…" Mana thought to herself. The teen looked back at Mana as if he knew what she was thinking. She narrowed her eyes at the teen and continued to watch him.
Relax little scientist…
Mana glanced at Alucard as he smugly looked at the teen. She then turned her attention back to the teen.
"Since everyone from England and the Vatican are gathered here today…Our Kommandant…Commander Herr major has something very important to say so please listen." The teen stated and pressed a button on the screen turning it on.
As the screen turned on cries for help and gunshots filled the room. Mana's jaw clenched as she saw bodies scattered about with bullet holes all over the bodies. Mana clenched her hands tightly as her heartbeat quickened, another scene flashed into her mind from her past.
The teen looked at the screen curious to what was happening on the other side.
"It seems like you were having problems major?" the teen asked.
"I was, but now it has been taken care of. Very Good." A man's voice thick with an accent replied to the teen's question.
Mana watched as the teen became overjoyed with the response from the person he called 'major'. Another memory flashed through her mind as she stepped back in hesitation.
"Hello there Major…" Alucard grinned.
"It's been a long time Alucard…and also being able to see you joyful well…makes me ecstatic." The unknown man replied. Alucard smirked in response.
"You are the new enemy leader…and you're the director of Hellsing…Sir Integra Hellsing ja? I believe this is first time ve've met…"
Mana's ears began to ring as she continued to look at the bodies on the floor of the warehouse it seemed. Another memory was pushing its way forward, a memory that was blocked. Mana's eyes dulled gray blue as her head slumped slightly as she stood.
Bodies of teenagers scattered across the floor…
Limbs missing…
Pools of blood...
The walls painted with blood…
Laughter echoed through the building...
The sound of a gun snapped Mana back into reality as she realized the teen had his head blown off by Alucard's gun, and the screen had been destroyed.
"Sir Hellsing, Alucard…this is an order. Obliterate them from this world." The Queen ordered.
It was well into the night before Integra had called Mana into her office, Mana bowed as she stood in front of the woman's desk and noticed that the woman was pacing.
"Mana." Integra started.
"Yes Sir?" Mana replied. Integra turned to face the woman in front of her and blew out smoke from the petite cigar she smoked.
"Will you be able to withstand this?" Integra asked
"I…I do not understand…" Mana replied.
"I am not certain of your training you have went through in Japan, but this is a completely different situation here in England…we are going to war. No doubt I am sure you heard." Integra started.
"Y-Yes." Mana replied knowing her mind was blank because of the sudden manifestation of a memory.
"Because of this I need you to take care of this sodding Illuminati issue on your own." Integra replied.
"By myself?" Mana asked repeated.
" I cannot waste my time dealing with this unimportant group, the Illuminati. They either come at me with guns blazing or the sod off." Integra stated firmly.
"U-Understood…ano…as for the report I was supposed to give?" Mana asked.
"Write it. I'll look at it once of this bloody nonsense is all taken care of." Integra replied.
"…Yes Sir." Mana quietly replied.
"I am giving you complete autonomy over this, you'll have Hellsing's resources but expect little help." Integra continued
"Hai." Mana replied
"Mana...This is my order to you therefore you can not fail." Integra added.
"Hai." Mana replied again.
"That is all." Integra finished. Mana bowed and turned to exit from the room.
"Mana…" Integra called out to her.
"Yes Sir Integra?" Mana turned to the woman.
"I will not be here in the morning…I am not for sure how long I will be gone, So there is no need to prepare breakfast for the morning." Integra said as she turned to the large window in her office.
"Yes Sir Integra." Mana replied and bowed as she exited the room.
A/N: Sorry for the ridiculous wait for this, the original way I was planning on going with this suddenly changed on me so I was stuck for a while. I think I should be ok for a bit? We'll see. I tried to use the dialogue from the manga when it came to the major and as for Schrodinger( Spelling?) is a little more English in terms of dialogue. Besides that, Some of Mana's memories are causing some problems, but why? The Millennium organization has finally appeared, what about the Illuminati...and the others? For now Mana is on her own to deal with Illuminati.
Nigero: to run away
Onegai: please
Hito wa tasukenai: (roughly translates to) I couldn't save that person
Yare Yare: "Oh Dear Oh dear"
Hai: Yes
Everyone belongs to Hirano Kohta except for Mana, Cain and Dimitri :D
