A/N: I thank you all for the favs/follows/and reviews! I love them all so much!
And thank you guys so much for the birthday wishes!
Anyways, I realized that while Alucard is well over 500 years old, Olivia is actually the oldest one of the trio physically at the moment! And this is also the rare time Olivia is taller than Alucard! Lol! And I am constantly on the lookout for a voice actress for Olivia if she had one. Like, I have one in mind for when she is older (like in the main manga story line) but I'm trying to find the perfect Hungarian voice for her. I found one I really liked but I fear it may sound a tad too old for a 16 year old. But Olivia does have a somewhat mature, sophisticated way of talking. Alucard even pointed out in one chapter that her voice was getting deeper. Hey, she had etiquette lessons after all! Anyways, if you are curious about what I've chosen, links are in my profile! I based her younger voice off the Hungarian Sleeping Beauty dub and her older voice off Eva Gabor who played Duchess, the mother cat, in The Aristocats (One of my favorite movies) since she has a beautiful Hungarian voice! And Sir Islands as Uncle Fester, FayValentine123?! Lol. And, just for more fun, if any of you want, I can mention your characters or you in the story! And, just so you know, after the Dawn, there will be two or three mini subplots that won't last any more than a chapter or two but are more for character development so if you guys would like to see something before we approach the groundwork for the main Hellsing storyline, please don't hesitate to drop me a line with your idea! I will credit you of course! Some examples are: Olivia going on a mission by herself or Alucard visiting Romania, or Olivia visiting Hungary. And, for those who are curious about Olivia's decision after the war, that will be addressed in a few chapters! And I would like to thank the bands, Disturbed and Korn for their music. LOL!
Please enjoy this chapter! I welcome all new and returning readers!
"Stay sharp, you two! He isn't a vampire, but he isn't a human either." Alucard informed them, the black tendrils retracting back into the coffin completely before the lid slammed shut.
Ashes and dust swirled around the room as the Captain rose to his feet, his arm growing back and his face reassembling itself.
"Tsk. I knew it." Walter snapped, wiping the blood off his face with a handkerchief before handing it to Olivia so she could do the same.
"We figured as much." She mumbled, honestly surprised her nose wasn't broken at this point. "But why didn't our weapons work against him? If not Walter's wires, then at least my blessed, silver arrows should have inflicted some damage."
"Crucifixes won't work against his kind. Neither do blessed weapons or holy water, they are all useless against him." Alucard tapped the barrel of his gun against Sic Parvis Magna to drive his point home. "I thought his kind had gone extinct…but I supposed I was wrong. They still exist, just like me."
'Just like him…' Olivia gulped, watching as more of the ash and dust spiraled around the Captain's form. 'Please let his existence be the only thing he has in common with you, Alucard.'
"We will abandon this facility, post-haste." The Major ordered with the Doktor and three other officers on his heels. "Prepare to transport all the results of our research immediately."
"Bu—But, Major, our enemies only consist of no more than three people." The Doktor interjected, having just finally made headway in his research and not prepared to put that on hold.
"Do you really think it is necessary to fully abandon this research facility?" One of the medical officers added on. "What harm could those two inflict on us?"
"Do not take Britain lightly. Once they have set their eyes on you, they are quite determined. The Brits can reach far and live long to achieve their goals." The Major warned them with a hint of respect in his tone. Despite how much a thorn in Germany's side the Allied Forces were, the Major gave credit where it was due and was not ashamed to praise his foes if they deserved it.
"Will the Captain be fine by himself then?" The Doktor mused while holding the door open to the security room. "Should I send for some reinforcements?"
"Those children won't be any problem for The Captain." The Major smirked, waving a hand at the security personnel saluting him. "After all, he is a werewolf. The werewolf unit, at its inception, was named after and created to cater to him specifically."
"Major! Please take a look at this!" The head security guard called out, enlarging a fuzzy black and white image on the monitor. "There is another child…another little girl is in that room!"
"Hm?" The Major approached the security desk, his eyes widening in joy as he took in the blurry face on the monitor. "Ah! How fascinating! This is truly fascinating! Gentleman, look at her! Feast your eyes on her!" He placed a gloved hand on the monitor, as if he intended to caress Alucard's cheek through the monitor. "Our teacher has come before us! That thing that wears the form of a dazzling little girl is what we are all aiming for! Look at it carefully, thoroughly!"
The ash and dust began to settle, revealing the Captain's partially transformed figure only a few feet away and the Major clasped his hands together in jubilation.
"Such a rare treat! Gentleman, gather around and behold! As, for the first time in history, a monster shall battle another monster!"
"He's a…werewolf." Walter stated, appearing more irritated than surprised. "Of course he is a fucking werewolf."
"It's been a few centuries since I last saw one myself." Alucard noted before glancing over at Olivia. "Anything to add, 'Mother'?"
"Yeah, stop calling me 'Mother' and make sure your gun is loaded." Olivia glared at the half formed beast before her. "Whether he is a werewolf, goblin, or the tooth fairy, he is an enemy and needs to be eliminated. Plain and simple."
"You always know what to say to get me going, don't you?" He teased, before facing the Captain and noticing his stance change from defensive to offensive. "Here he comes. Look lively."
"All right then! Come at me!" Walter flexed his fingers with renewed zeal, prepared to silence this foe once and for all. "I'll skin you down to the roots and make a new winter coat for my Lord!"
As if answering Walter's threat and challenge, the Captain dashed forward with such insane speed that the trio could only see a faint silver blur before the Captain slammed his knee into the ground, scattering the trio to opposite sides of the room. And, like the loyal pet he was, the Captain continued to focus on Walter first, lunging at him with glowing eyes.
"He's quick!" Walter remarked, unable to snare the ever elusive Captain in his wires. "I can only brush against the bastard before he is bouncing off the walls again!"
"Fantastic!" Alucard marveled, firing away while Walter kept the Captain distracted. "I gotta hand it to you! You're pretty good, mutt!"
Unfortunately, the bullets only served to make the Captain angrier and the air become saturated with smoke and ash once more as he exhaled, never breaking eye contact.
"Haha!" Walter chuckled nervously, struggling to maintain a confident smirk. "He's pretty scary…"
"How the hell are we going to beat him if nothing we have can harm him?!" Olivia squeaked, wishing she had commissioned more variety to her arrows than just silver ones.
"Hey, Walter." Alucard suddenly raised his hand and took a step back. "I'll leave this in your hands."
"What?!" Both Walter and Olivia exclaimed, looming over the disguised vampire with lightning flashing behind them. "Are you mad?!"
"Well, he isn't exactly a vampire. This is way out of my field." Alucard shrugged, stuffing his hands into his pockets. "Besides, don't you think three against one is somewhat cowardly? You're British, so you should know this better than anyone else. Also, I have to track down the leader of their group. I know it's bad, but this is war." Then he flashed the V for Victory sign with a grin, just like Walter had done on the plane. "So you can leave the 'fat monstrous evil from Hell with glasses' and the 'skinny death guy with glasses' to me. I'll leave the 'freaky dog' in your care!"
"TO HELL WITH THAT, YOU BASTARD!" The flames of rage burned brightly behind Walter's form. "YOU ARE STAYING HERE TO HELP US, GOT IT?!"
"Are you still half asleep, Alucard?!" Olivia leaned forward and got right in his face with her hands on her hips. "There is no "I" in team! We do this all together or not! I am not about to let you leave Walter and I behind while you frolic in the hallways! It is all or nothing!"
"Oh, don't worry, you are coming with me, 'Mother'." Alucard grinned, patting her on the cheek. "Walter will stay here on his own."
"WHAT?!"
"Such being the case, the 'Dog Man', or should I say 'Man Dog' over there!" Alucard skirted around the two seething teenagers and lifted his hand up again with an easygoing smile. "I will leave this 'Shitty Little Snot' right here. So you two youngsters can frolic around as much as you like!"
The Captain just growled in response.
"Oh, could it be? Can you only understand Dog-speak?" Alucard cooed, placing a hand over his heart in mock concern. "Woof, woof, Woo-oof! Can you understand that, puppy?!"
"What the hell is wrong with you?" Olivia muttered, feeling an overwhelming amount of chagrin at Alucard's antics, especially since his actions and words mirrored hers exactly when she was being cheeky with someone.
Done with listening to Alucard's mockery, the Captain sprinted forward as fast as lightning and kicked Alucard clean in half, spraying his blood and guts everywhere.
But the blood immediately congealed and rushed back to the coffin where Alucard reformed on the coffin's lid and the coffin, in turn,….well….sprouted arms
"GOOD GOD IN HEAVEN! WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT?!"
"YO-YOUR COFFIN IS A-ALIVE?!" Olivia stuttered, her skin complexion turning green as she fell back on her behind. "YOU MEAN I WAS INSIDE THAT THING AND IT WAS SENTIENT?!"
"Forwar—d!" Alucard pointed at the double doors and the coffin scurried across the room at a brisk pace. "Come along, 'Mother'!"
"GET THE FUCK AWAY FROM ME!" Olivia wailed, crab walking backwards desperately. But her efforts were futile and she was plucked up by one of the coffin's massive hands. "WWWAAAAHHHH! WALTER!"
"OLIVIA!"
"I leave this in your hands, 'O Great Butler'! Good luck!" Alucard saluted, immediately slamming the doors shut behind them and barricading it close with the coffin's help.
"He…He ran away!" Walter stammered, finding himself alone with the indestructible werewolf captain. "That bloody arsehole vampire!" He screamed before whipping his wires out and charging forward. "AFTER I KILL THIS BASTARD, YOU ARE NEXT, ALUCARD!"
"Phew. Kids like him must experience hardships." Alucard wiped his forehead in jest, electing to ignore Walter's threats from the other side of the door. "You can't let old men do all the work, or else the future of our country will be destroyed."
"But what if Walter needs our help? He has never faced an adversary that powerful before!"
"Walter is talented. He will be able to reach new heights if he puts in more effort…." His voice drifted off at the arrival of a panting, sweaty soldier with a musket rifle. "And who the hell are you?"
"Ha, Ha, I-I heard about…Ha…th-the enemy attack!" The woman wheezed. "Hah. I got here as fast as I could…Hah..Ack! My…My glasses..these aren't my glasses!"
'Is she a Nazi soldier or a clown?' Olivia wondered as the woman frantically searched her body for her own glasses.
"Ah! Ah!" Alucard knocked on the woman's forehead before pointing to himself. "Enemy. En-e-my."
"Huh?" Her eyes narrowed in confusion.
"Not 'Huh'. Enemy."
"Who is?"
"Me."
"Hah?"
"Not 'Hah'."
"Heh?"
"No."
"No?"
"Enemy!"
"What?"
"Oh my God, just shoot her already!" Olivia groaned, on the verge of getting a migraine. "Lady, we are the enemies! Hurry up and fight us already!"
Registering Olivia's words, the woman composed herself and was about to aim her musket when the coffin chopped her on the head and tossed her unconscious form to the side.
"Look what we have here! Such monstrous size for a flintlock musket!" Alucard admired the gun for a few seconds before tossing it onto its owner's body. "Allow me to give you some advice, Olivia. If you are a gunman, there's only two things you need to know. One, never stay in a place where you can easily be seen. Two, if an enemy manages to get close to you, prepare for your death. You should never, ever forget that. Never."
"Duly noted." Suddenly, her ears twitched at the sounds of ghouls in the distance and she nudged Alucard back. "You go ahead and find the Major. I'll deal with them." Olivia placed her remaining arrow back in its quiver for a dire emergency and whipped out her pistols. "And try to finish your task as soon as possible."
"Hmm? Why's that? Got somewhere to be back in London?"
"No," Olivia smiled and peered down at him. "It is way past your bedtime, 'young lady'. No daughter of mine is staying up past curfew!"
Then, with a salute, she scampered down the dark hallway and Alucard watch her retreating form until it was out of sight.
"Nice to see you're finally embracing your name." Alucard chuckled, turning on his heel and trudging down the hallway with his coffin behind him. "Alright, time to go hunting."
"Hehe. It appears the creature wishes to have an audience with me." The Major chuckled, lounging back in his chair. "How exciting!"
"M-Major!" The Doktor started, sweat pooling at his brow. "Shouldn't we move to a safer location?"
"Nonsense! That would be rude! Doktor, prepare some tea, we have a guest coming!" The Major hummed while plucking stray hairs off his coat. "If I knew HE was stopping by for a tête-à-tête, I would have set aside another plate at dinner."
"You are very calm about this…" The Doktor muttered, his eyes drifting back to the camera to find feed of Olivia mowing down ghoul after ghoul. "M-Major! That little girl is killing our test subjects!"
"Achtung!" The Major clapped his hands together. "Then I suggest you send someone to stop her, Doktor. And do make haste with transferring our research while I entertain our esteemed guest."
"Y-Y-Yes, Major! Right away!" Doktor pointed to a nearby soldier. "You, send for Soldier #ZB066 to stop that little girl. The rest of you, follow me to the labs! We need to salvage all the research we can."
"What an interesting morning this is turning out to be." The Major sighed, tapping his fingers together like a child on Christmas morning. "Hurry along now, Count, I can't wait to finally meet your acquaintance."
"Good God, how many soldiers did these bastards kidnap?!" Olivia clamored, shooting ghoul after ghoul. They all wore different uniforms and she easily recognized the British and Hungarian army uniforms.
However, they were nothing but targets in her eyes now and she felt nothing as she reloaded her pistols.
"This is an act of mercy. You should be thanking me." Olivia announced as they circled around her, saliva and blood dripping from their mucous cavities. "Be grateful I'm the one doing this and not my partners. Goodnight soldiers. Thank you for your service." Then she spun around and fired, shooting every ghoul in the head until they were nothing but bloody stumps.
"Strange, ghouls are supposed to dissolve into dust when killed, yet these do not. Is it because they are artificially made?" She wondered as a legless ghoul crawled towards her from behind. However, before it could sink its teeth into her flesh, Olivia shoved the barrel of her pistol into its mouth and fired, still lost in thought. "Hmm. I suppose that is something to wonder about later. Now, to find the main laboratory and destroy it. If the other soldiers know we are here, they will probably try to salvage what they can and escape."
Her footsteps echoed down the hallway as she searched for more ghouls and Nazi soldiers, the silence putting her on edge.
"I know they aren't deaf. The moment they heard the gunshots, they should've either ran away or came out to challenge me. Such pathetic cowards." Olivia snorted under her breath, about to turn the corner when she screeched to a stop and backtracked. "What the hell….?"
At the far end of an adjacent narrow hallway was a pair of white double doors with the word "SHE" smeared across it in blood.
"SHE?" Olivia crept closer, suddenly finding the air becoming like lead. "Who is SHE?"
Placing her hands on the door handles, Olivia felt a shiver zap down her spine before she slowly pulled the doors open and stepped inside….only to fall back at the sight that awaited her.
A contorted body, wrapped in bandages and bound in chains, was jutting from the wall with jars and piles of human organs scattered below it like some kind of shrine offering.
"What in the—AAAHHH!" Olivia clutched her head as the wails of a young woman clawed through her brain.
'LOOK AT WHAT THEY'VE DONE TO ME!' Her voice chanted, and it felt like her nails were digging into Olivia's brain. 'LOOK AT WHAT THEY'VE DONE TO ME! IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT! IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT!'
"I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING!" Olivia howled, pounding her head repeatedly in an attempt to drown out the woman's screams. "LEAVE ME ALONE! I'M NOT THE ONE WHO HURT YOU!"
Gradually the screaming subsided and Olivia peered up at the mummy once more while clutching her bracelets to her chest.
"…What on Earth did those demons do to you?" She whispered, slowly reaching out to her. "Who are you? Please…tell me."
Suddenly Olivia was yanked back by her hair and pinned against someone's chest.
"So you are the little rat who's been causing all that commotion." A gruff yet feminine voice snickered, yanking on Olivia's hair again when she struggled. "And it appears you've found our secret weapon."
"Who are you?" Olivia hissed, her voice catching in her throat when a massive scythe was placed against her neck.
"I am Zorin Blitz, little girl." Zorin smirked, jerking Olivia's head back so her neck was exposed. "And I'm afraid this is the end of the line for you."
And she slashed her scythe down, splattering blood onto the wall.
"Fuck…" Walter hissed as he skid back on the cracked floor, wiping away sweat and blood from his cheek. "Nothing I do is working."
This sense of vulnerability was foreign to Walter and caused him to hate his human limitations even more. Alucard wasn't able to fatally injure the Captain, but at least he was able to hit him with a few good shots.
'Dammit!' He panted heavily, clutching his bleeding side with one hand. 'I am the Angel of Death! No one has survived a duel with me, and he will not be the first!'
Gritting his teeth, Walter swung his arms out and used his wires to latch onto chucks of debris before launching them at the Captain who dodged each projectile with inhuman ease.
"BASTARD!" Walter shot forward, morphing his wires into the shape of a spearhead. "I WILL NOT LET YOU MAKE A FOOL OF ME!"
But the Captain ducked down on all fours again and tackled Walter to the ground, this time slamming his paw over his face while raising the other to deliver the final blow.
Yet, before he could, the Captain suddenly looked at the door and his features regressed back into a human's as he leapt off Walter and bolted out the door.
"H-Hey!" Walter coughed, struggling to sit up since the Captain broke three of his ribs with that tackle. "Wh-Where the fuck do you think you're going?! Come back and fight me!" He tried to give chase but only ended up collapsing to the ground as his body singed and blood filled his mouth.
'Fuck!' He punched the ground, his eyes beginning to sting. 'He tore through me like I was nothing! Am I that fucking weak?! Are…are humans that pathetic?'
The doors to the main control deck slammed open and there stood Alucard with his coffin kneeling behind him.
"Hello, Major." Alucard grinned, one hand in his pocket while the other rested the tommy gun on his shoulder. "Lovely night, isn't it?"
"My dazzling Count!" The Major held his hands out and stood up from his seat. "Welcome to my Headquarters. To what do I owe the pleasure?"
"I have orders to shut down your little science experiment." He chuckled as the nearby soldiers and scientists quivered under the sheer might of his presence. "But, really. Artificial vampirism? You make a mockery of vampires by putting them on an assembly line."
"My dear Count, how can you point a finger at me when you should point it at your master, Arthur Hellsing." The Major sipped his tea before gently placing it back on its saucer. "He, along with his ancestors, have enslaved the dead to do their bidding for centuries."
"Enough." Alucard had the barrel of his gun against the Major's forehead in seconds, completely ignoring how the other soldiers also drew their guns. "Don't soil my master's name with that tongue of yours. I would hate to kill you before I had my fun. It's not often people like you come around to amuse me."
"Oh, you are having fun? You haven't even seen the fruits of our labor on the battlefield yet."
"I've seen enough, and I must say, they are cheap imitations but very well made for what they are. I'm impressed at the lengths you people will go to prolong this war."
"I am flattered! And yes, I love war. Everything about it from the sight of soldiers strung up by their tongues to the desolate remains of a child's home thrills me to no end. If these 'imitations' can drag this war into eternity, then that will be true bliss."
"You place a lot of faith into your counterfeit monsters, don't you, Major?"
"Yes, they may be pathetic, but they are of a higher rank than you are, my dear Count." The Major's glasses flashed as he took a seat. "While they may have lost the battle, at least they fought until the end instead of forsaking their souls and building their reign on stolen blood."
Instead of being shocked or angry, Alucard smack a hand over his mouth and let out a bone chilling laugh. His back arched as his body shook uncontrollably in hysterics, and only the Major was unperturbed by the frightening display.
"I am already aware of what I am, Major." He chuckled, cocking the hammer back on his gun. "Now, allow me to fulfill my mission."
"By all means!" The Major shrugged, not at all bothered by the gun shoved against his forehead. "But, before you do, may I see the Count whose reign of terror paralyzed London a century ago?"
Now Alucard was taken aback slightly by that request of all things but conceded and reverted to his normal form.
"Satisfied?"
"Very much so." The Major's eyes scanned Alucard from top to bottom. "So….this is the form our heroine was ravished by."
"Heroine?" Alucard's eyes narrowed. "What are you talking about?"
"Why, can't you feel her? She is the one who made all of this possible!" The Major grinned and spread his arms out in rapture. "Ravished by lunacy and lucidity until only a shell remained, and yet you cannot sense the last remains of your tyranny?"
"What the hell are you—?!"
The Captain flung himself through the doorway and tackled Alucard from the side, sending them both crashing through the window and into the desolate wasteland outside.
"Oh, you are still alive, mutt?" Alucard inquired, standing up and wiping the blood from his lips. "I would've thought Walter was capable enough to deal with you, guess I was mistaken."
The Captain crouched down into an offensive position and sirens rang across the sky as every searchlight in the perimeter was focused on Alucard.
"Do forgive me for interrupting your mission!" The Major called out from his place at the windowsill. "But I would like to see the fruits of my labor before my death, Count! Auf Wiedersehen!" He gave a Nazi salute before stepping away from the window and Alucard could only laugh as hundreds of Nazi soldiers surrounded him and aimed their guns at him.
"You humans never fail to amuse me." He cocked his gun back again and aimed it at the Captain's head. "Fine, show me what you've got."
All of a sudden, a deafening 'BOOM!' echoed across the wasteland as the entire right wing of the headquarters was engulfed in flames and Alucard's ear twitched when he heard a familiar scream coming from the heart of the fire.
'OLIVIA!'
Olivia's lungs burned as she frantically raced down the hallway, her shirt rapidly becoming red from the blood flowing down her neck.
At the last second, Olivia shot a bullet into Zorin's foot, allowing her flee at the price of the gash in her neck. The scythe didn't hit her carotid artery, but if she didn't get medical help soon, she would bleed out and Olivia wasn't about to die on the floor of a Nazi laboratory.
"COME BACK HERE, YOU BITCH!" Zorin was hot on her heels, despite the blood spurting from her foot, and Olivia could feel the swish of her scythe on the back of her neck. "I'M GOING TO SLICE YOU INTO FUCKING PIECES!"
"Try to catch me then!" Olivia replied before taking a sharp turn down an adjacent hallway and running with all her might.
She leapt over crates, fallen tables, and questionable remains before sliding under a rolling bed and firing at Zorin without mercy.
Zorin was able to deflect some of the bullets with her scythe but she couldn't get them all and bullets tore through her shoulders and knees.
"Little rat..!" She panted, falling down on one knee as Olivia crawled out from her perch and reloaded her pistols. "You think you can make a fool of me and walk away with only a scratch?! THINK AGAIN!"
And she leapt up in the air and swung her scythe down, but Olivia dodged and the blade sliced through the wooden floor instead; this dance went on for a minute until an ominous cracking sound filled the hallway.
Olivia glanced down and discovered that Zorin had cut into the wooden floor's beams and the area they were standing on had nothing to support it.
"Oh fu-!" was all Olivia could utter when the floor gave out and both of them plummeted to the floor below.
The air was knocked out of Olivia's lungs as she slammed onto the cement floor and felt four of her ribs crack.
However she didn't have a chance to even whimper since Zorin was already on her feet with the intent to behead Olivia. And, to make it worse, her guns were nowhere in sight, leaving her to flee like a frightened rabbit down the vast corridor before her.
The first room she came across was full of ore and metal, and Olivia frantically snatched up the sharpest rock she could find for protection before veering into the left hallway.
She spotted the exit but was cut off by Zorin crashing down from the floor above, causing Olivia to stumble into the closest room while the scythe nearly sliced her nose in two.
'Jesus! Did Doctor Josef Reinstein turn traitor to come work here?!'
Unfortunately, this room led to a dead end with only a web of pipes jutting from a massive water tank.
"Shit!" Olivia hissed, whirling around when she heard Zorin tap her scythe against the doorframe.
"All out of places to run to, little rat?" She chuckled, strutting forward like a predator before its cornered prey. "Excellent. I grow weary of this game of tag."
"I'll bet." Olivia scowled, bracing her back against the nearest pipe. "I know snails that are faster than you."
"SILENCE!" Zorin pounced and Olivia ducked down, the scythe missing her head by a centimeter and hitting the pipe instead.
The water sputtered out and Olivia screamed as the rock in her hand sparked and she quickly threw it across the room.
'A rock that combusts? That's—!' Olivia's heart dropped as she rubbed her fingers together and sniffed her mildly singed fingers. 'Oh shit! What the fuck were they thinking keeping this stuff near water?!'
But then, she gazed up at Zorin trying to yank her scythe out of the pipe and a lightbulb went off above her head.
'If this works, I can kill two birds with one stone,' Olivia winced as she stood up on wobbly legs and braced herself against another pipe. 'If not, well, as long as the mission is complete, a few sacrifices can be made.'
"Hey!" Olivia called out as Zorin finally freed her scythe from its prison. "You really suck at aiming, don't you?"
As expected, Zorin blindly attacked and Olivia once again dodged, resulting in another busted pipe.
"Slowpoke!"
BAM!
"Are you even trying?"
BAM!
"Those muscles are just for show, aren't they?"
BAM!
BAM!
BAM!
Finally all the pipes were busted, leaving only the main water tank.
"You know, Zorin," Olivia hummed, clasping her hands behind her back and bouncing on her heels. "If a 'little rat' with four broken ribs and a bleeding neck can dodge your attacks, you really aren't much of a solider, aren't you?"
"FUCKING BITCH!" Zorin furiously slashed her scythe as she stormed ahead.
However, instead of simply dodging, this time Olivia jumped up and used Zorin's head to do a back flip. And while in the air, she whipped out Sic Parvis Magna and fired her last arrow into Zorin's left eye.
"AAUUGHH! FUCKK!" Zorin dropped her scythe and collapsed onto her knees, clutching her face and cursing Olivia to Hell and beyond.
Seizing the massive weapon, Olivia summoned up all her strength and slashed the blade into the middle of the water tank.
"Enjoy Hell, Ms. Zorin Blitz." She grinned before yanking the blade out and discarding it as she fled from the room.
The sound of rushing water chased after her, but Olivia never looked back and hurried through the exit door she saw earlier and slammed the door behind her. Olivia's heart was pounding in her ears, and the blood loss was starting to take its toll but she knew she had to put as much distance as possible between herself and that room of ore and rock before the water reached it.
Sodium Metal combusts in the presence of water, and that room was filled with at least 60 pounds of it.
She had reached the end of the hallway when the pounds of sodium ignited, resulting in an explosion powerful enough to fling Olivia out the window and into the dark morning sky.
Her screams resonated across the wasteland as she plummeted towards the ground with a massive fire roaring behind her.
Then, just she was zipped past the 3rd floor, wires shot out through the smoke and wrapped around her wrist, keeping her suspended in air.
And through the smoke and fire, Olivia could see Walter hanging off the edge of the roof's parapet, sweat dripping from his brow since he used his injured side to catch her.
'Walter…' Olivia stared up at him as he pulled her up to where he was.
"You are fucking insane, you know that right?!" Walter shouted over the roaring flames, wrapping an arm around her waist as they jumped onto the roof of the north wing.
"Anything to get the job done." She replied before taking in the stand-off down below. "What is happening? Why is Alucard surrounded?"
"I have no idea." Walter answered, glaring down at the almost Baroque-like painting before them. "I was tracking down that mutt when I heard the siren and came up on the roof for a better look."
"But why isn't Alucard attacking them?"
"I don't know. Maybe he is waiting for his orders."
"Orders?" Olivia narrowed her eyes in confusion. "Who here could give him orders?! Sir Hellsing is back in London!"
Suddenly, her bracelets began to glow red as sigils similar to the ones on Alucard's gloves sizzled onto them.
"What the—AAAAHHHH!" Olivia crumbled onto the roof tiles when drills appeared on the underside of the bracelets and drilled into her flesh.
"OLIVIA!" Walter reached out to her but was shoved back by a pulse of energy emitted from the bracelets.
"Olivia," Sir Hellsing's voice reverberated in her mind. "It is time for the seeds of my yearlong labor to bear fruit."
"SIR HELLSING!" Olivia wept, the drills tearing through muscle and into bone. "WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING TO ME?!"
"Only someone of Hellsing blood can control Alucard. The powder I smeared onto your bracelets contained samples of my blood, granting you the temporary power of wielding Alucard in my place."
"WHY ME?!" She wailed, fragments of bone scattering as the drill went deeper and deeper. "WHY ME OF ALL PEOPLE?!"
"Because, despite all the respect and loyalty to the Hellsing family he may have, you are the one Alucard loves without obligation. Now! Stand tall and give the order! Say the words and unleash our weapon upon those wretched demons! Do it, Olivia! As a solider! As a commander! As a Hellsing!"
At those words, Olivia's eyes glowed a bright green and she stood tall, extending her mutilated right arm out.
"ALUCARD! WITH THE BLOOD OF SIR ARTHUR HELLSING RUNNING THROUGH MY VEINS, I COMMAND YOU TO HEED MY ORDERS!" She bellowed in a voice she couldn't recognize as her own. "PAINT THE BATTLEFIELD RED WITH THE BLOOD OF OUR ENEMIES AND SPARE NO ONE! COMPLETE YOUR MISSION AND WIPE THOSE BASTARDS AND THEIR EXPERIMENTS OFF THE FACE OF THE EARTH! LEAVE NOTHING BUT BLOOD AND BONES IN YOUR WAKE!" Then Olivia swept her arm to the side and gave the order. "RELEASING CONTROL ARC RESTRICTION ZERO! NOW COME FORTH AND RECLAIM YOUR PLACE ON THE BATTLEFIELD, VLAD DRACUL!"
Hearing those orders in Olivia's voice, Alucard let his head flop back with a smile of pure ecstasy on his face.
"As you command, my Master." He whispered before exhaling a thin cloud of blue smoke and the aura of the battlefield shifted dramatically.

A/N: This chapter was also called "Olivia and Walter continued to get their asses kicked. Please save these children from irresponsible adults who throw them into danger". And Alucard's jab about Olivia finally embracing her name refers to the fact that her middle name, Emese, means 'mother' in Hungarian. And Olivia's jab about Doctor Reinstein is a reference to the doctor who gave Steve Rogers the serum to turn him into Captain America. Apparently he had a different name in the original comics than the one in the Marvel movie. Lol.
So yeah! Shit has hit the ceiling and now we know why Zorin's eyes are different. It's because of Olivia! And Olivia is going to be in a world of hurt because her wrist got fucked up!
Anyways, I hope you enjoyed this chapter! Please~~~leave a review! I love them so much!
Look forward to the next chapter! See you then!
