Ready to Die(1)

Far from the destroyed city of London, one of the Millennium Zeppellins was traveling towards the hellsing manor with Zorin Blitz and her crew in it as they were instructed by the Major in to conduct reconnaissance. A short while later, the Zeppellin comes to an abrupt stop in the middle of the air with the hellsing manor situated a kilometer distant from them.

"Lieutenant Zorin Blitz, ve are just outside ze Hellsing manor's perimeter," The captain of the Zeppellin spoke within the command center, "We shall maintain this position as ve obser-" his sentence was interrupted by Zorin.

"No! All hands to battle stations."

"But... ma'am... our orders-"

"I have been vaiting for zhis var for fifty years. I have been given men, weapons, AND a target. I will not be cockblocked to the point of entry by that little blonde toad! I... no. Ve will get vhat ve have coming to us. Now captain, LAUNCH THE V-1s!"

With a dramatic delay, the Zeppellin captain nodded, "Yes ma'am!" before launching the V-1s.

Outside the Zeppellin, the airship fired multiple Retrofitted V1s as it traveled towards hellsing manor at blazing speed, only for all of them to get destroyed in the air, shocking the Zeppellin crew and Zorin who were watching from the windows and monitors.

Shocked, her cigarette falls out of her widened mouth once more.

"Status report! ANYONE!"

"Vell, uh, the V1s launched. And zhen zey blew up! But not vhere they were supposed to! Like, vay too soon!"

"I CAN SEE ZAT! WHY?!"

"Report says that it was gunfire coming from the hellsing manor."

"From a kilometer away?!" Zorin gasped, completely baffled from such distance, until realization hit her, "It's the bitch! Turn on the spotlights!" she cried thereafter.

"But ve'll be targeted easily."

"It doesn't matter, she knows ve are here!"

Subsequent to her directive, they activated the Zeppellin's spotlights in order to spot the one who shot their V1s out of the sky. Eventually, they soon spotted a figure standing on the rooftop of the hellsing manor, carrying two enormous guns and metal backpacks with her arms crossed.

It was none other than Seras Victoria and her weapon, the Hallconnen Mark 2, a modified version of the original Hallconnen which was now designed to fire multiple armor-piercing rounds at machine gun speeds as opposed to the previous model's single round at a time.

———————————————————

Inside the security room of the manor, Pip sat comfortably and smoked a cigarette while he witnessed the entire thing unfold through the monitors that were displaying what the security cameras were recording outside as he was talking with Seras over the radio.

"Twenty-four for twenty-four. Your new equipment is nothing to scoff at. The Hallconnen 30 millimeter semi-auto Cannon. Maximum range four kilometers. Gross weight 345 kilos. We're pulling out all the stops against these jokers, young lady."

[Mister Bernadotte, would you mind not calling me young lady? I have a name and it's Seras.]

Pip chuckles and lights a cigar, "My apologies, young lady. Tell me, can you see London right now?"

———————————————————

With her enhanced vision, Seras, who remained atop the manor's roof, was able to see the city of London over the distant hills far from her position. From where she was standing, she could still hear the sounds of gunshots, explosions, and zombie and ghoul roars raging on across the burning city.

"Yes, I can."

[...Piccadilly circus, Soho and Covent garden are nothing but ashes. The London we knew is gone, and replaced with this hell. I couldn't stand the city nor did I see the city eye to eye. But the places the boys would drag me to like bars and what not, but it's people... were really very nice to us and they had the saddest eyes. Then there was that lady in the restaurant on Versailles road. I never ordered fish and chips but it was all that she would serve me. She would say, "Here love, have a taste of some proper British food." Everytime. I wanted to tell her it was greasy and I couldn't eat it, but I didn't want to make her feel bad so I ate it bit by bit. I'm not gonna miss this city, but the people who lived here... had nothing to do with this conflict nor be part of it.] Pip said in a saddened tone but also being serious as well, [That Major guy, Section 13 of Iscariot, Millenniums, "The Last Battalion", The Dark Aether and even those of us in Hellsing were none of their concern. But now they are dead or turned into ghouls or dark aether zombies and devouring the living and the dead, and that is something I can't accept.]

Afterward, Seras aims the Hallconnen Mark 2 towards the Millennium Zeppellin that is still hovering in midair.

[Let us finish them. You and me, Seras,] Pip said, [Do it, blast them clean out of the sky.]

"Yes, for those who died today and for London." Seras answered gravely as her blue-oceanic eyes turned crimson red in the next second.

Before long, the two anchors from the metal backpacks of the Hallconnen Mark 2 attached themselves to the roof she was standing on.

[Open fire!]

With a ferocious cry, Seras peppers the Zeppellin with anti-aircraft artillery rounds, which shreds and tear apart every structural component and every major section of the airship, causing significant damage and the deaths of multiple crew members onboard as she continues firing at it without mercy.

———————————————————

Inside the Zeppellin was violently shaking and the alarms within the vessel were loudly blaring from the constant gunfire from Seras's Hallconnen Mark 2.

"Ve are being shredded, ma'am!" One of the operators yells out in panic.

"Tell me something new!" Zorin shouted with an enraged tone.

———————————————————

Outside the Zeppellin, Seras proceed to shoot two of the Zeppellin's engines on both sides, blowing them up by the Hallconnens bullets.

———————————————————

"Vell, ve just lost both engines." The operator said.

"Useless cunts!"

"Ma'am, we can't keep taking this kind of damage!" The operator said to Zorin with a stern look, "We have to turn this ship around or we're going to crash!"

"No! Give the Zeppellin ramming speed and hit the bitch and the manor with it!"

"Vhich bitch, lieutenant!?"

"Zat bitch with the fucking cannons!!"

———————————————————

Soon, Seras stopped firing as she noticed the burning Zeppellin and was heading straight at her and the manor's direction.

[Seras! Get outta there!]

With a serious expression, Seras lifted her guns to show two car tire size incendiary grenades attached before firing them at the Zeppelin, which exploded upon impact which then proceeded to fall out in the sky and went off course, crashing into a grass field that was somewhat distant from the manor before exploding in a fiery explosion.

———————————————————

Inside the manor, the wild geese mercenaries, Bela, Cassandra, and Daniela cheered in victory as they watched the Zeppellin crash from a window, believing they had won. Not by a long shot as Alcina knew it wasn't over, same as Seras and Pip.

[We're not done.] Seras' voice can be heard from one of the mercenaries' radios.

Pip added, [You heard her. Don't quit the night just yet, they're still coming.]

One of the mercenaries used his binoculars and peered at the Zeppellin wreckage. At that moment, he soon spotted a large contingent of Millennium vampire soldiers as well as Zorin, both were still alive and standing with their weapons drawn.

"They don't even have a scratch on them," The mercenary said in disbelief.

"That's right, they're not humans, they're monsters. What did you expect?" Alcina conclude his statement.

The Wild geese mercenary merely shrugged, "Just saying."

———————————————————

"What now?" Seras asked from the rooftop.

[Fall back for now and reload. Me, the boys, the tall lady and her daughters will deal with the rest.]

"Right," Seras nodded in affirmation as she removed the metal backpacks and walked off the roof to reload the Hallconnen.

———————————————————

With Pip, he proceeded to inform his men, Alcina and her daughters through the radio, saying, "Alright wild geese and Lady Dimitrescu. It's time for us to take the stage. No more foreplay. Let's give them a wild night. Let's rock n roll. And Lady Dimitrescu…]

[Yes?]

Pip smirked, "Tell your daughters to bug the living hell out of them if you know what I mean."

Alcina can be heard chuckling, [Got it]

[Are you certain that nobody from the backyard of the manor will attempt to attack us? Just asking.] Bela uttered.

"No, they won't. Well, not Millennium at least but we'll be fine."

———————————————————

In the backyard of the manor, five dark aether portals materialized from thin air and out of them came a large group of Wolfenstein Reich soldiers accompanied with a couple of guard robots, Panzerhunds, and Super soldats. In addition, they possessed a few car-tire-sized flying machines that were propelled by three turbines mounted on their backs to allow them to fly and equipped with laser cannons.

These are Drohnes

[IMAGES]

The drohnes hovered around the roofs of the manor and scanned its structures, searching for an entry point while the rest gain admission to the manor by breaking the walls and doors before storming in.

———————————————————

Standing in the midst of the sea of flames, the Nazi vampires were seen climbing out of the rubble led by Zorin as they were gazing at the manor far from their position.

"Vhat's our headcount?!"

"Ein, zwei, drei....er, a-alot. A lot. Zhere's a lot.

Zorin grins menacingly, "Good. Then your orders... are to SLAUGHTER THEM ALL!"

Pointing her scythe in the direction of the hellsing manor, the Millennium soldiers run at high speeds across the grass fields, heading for hellsing manor using their vampire physique along with Zorin.

———————————————————

"My dear daughters. You know what to do." Alcina ordered her daughters as she gave them a solemn look.

Her daughters, Bela, Cassandra and Daniela, all smiled maliciously before dissolving themselves into a roiling cloud of flies so they could travel even faster as they raced off from the minor through the windows.

"You think they will be alright?" Asked one of the mercenaries.

"They will be alright. You all just get the weapons and explosives ready. Pip asked to bug them. They will bug them."

"Alrighty then."
