Trigger Warning(1)

In the city of London, a round table conference between the Hellsing Organization and the Iscariot Order was taking place in the Queen's palace, people like The Conference of Twelve including Sir Penwood and Sir Irons, Enrico Maxwell with Father Rinaldo and Heinkel, a woman of German descent with pale skin, blonde hair, blue eyes, and glasses who was standing beside Maxwell, and Integra with Walter beside her were all seated at the round table who were here to discuss the Millennium matter, and... possibly the dark aether which Maxwell and Iscariot organization has not been informed.

"The banner won't-a come-a down. I think it's a constrictor knot," Father Rinaldo said as he and Enrico were examining the photographs.

Until that point, they started hearing an altercation coming from the other side of the doors leading in and out of the room... as clear as day.

"What do you... What do you mean you don't want to play the song?"

"No! I'm not playing a song from my phone and making an entrance into the room for your comedy."

"...Give me that phone!"

One second later, everyone could hear the sounds of struggling and grunts coming from the other side of the door.

"No! To hell with it! Just open the door, Alucard! Yes! Open it!!"

The door bursts open to reveal Alucard, Seras, Pip and Rodeo and Karl, who are choking each other in the background until Rodeo poked Karl in the eyes with his fingers.

"Ugh!" Karl exclaims, holding his eyes in pain as Rodeo frees himself from his chokehold and stands next to Seras, while Karl stands close to Pip.

"We have arrived, my master Integra."

"Welcome home, my servant. Remove your glasses, Alucard," Integra commanded before casting a glance at the two, "And Karl, Rodeo, remove your helmet. You're in the presence of the Queen."

Rodeo noticed at the far end of the room, a small flight of stairs that led to a throne. Sitting on the throne was the Queen herself, flanked by two of her guards standing beside her. Rodeo immediately removed his helmet, while Alucard and Karl removed their glasses simultaneously. Another minute has passed, the doors they came though just now burst open, revealing Miranda, Donna & Angie, Bela, Cassandra, Daniela, Moreau, and Lady Alcina Dimitrescu herself.

'That is a tall lady,' Maxwell and Heinkel both thought in unison when they first laid eyes on Alcina.

"We arrived as per your request, Integra." Alcina said to Integra pleasantly, "With the help of the Wild Geese without being spotted by the public while coming from the manor."

"Good. Now Miranda, take off your mask, Alcina your hat, Moreau and the daughters of Dimitrescu, the hood of your robes. And Donna, Angie…"

"Hm?"

"Y-Yes?"

"...Be respectful."

Nodding their heads, Alcina removes her hat, Miranda removes her mask off, and Bela, Cassandra, Daniela and Moreau remove the hood of their robes, while Donna tries not to feel shy and Angie tries not to do anything. Alucard gazed at the Queen who was seated on her throne for a brief moment before approaching her.

"Excuse me sir, you're going to-"

Two guards tried to stop him from reaching her but were tossed aside by Alucard psychic power without a single finger being raised. Immediately after that, Alucard walked up the small steps and stood in front of the Queen and bowed down on one knee in front of her.

"It's been a long time, Vampire," The Queen said pleasantly to Alucard as she raised her hand, "Let me get a good look at you."

As Alucard looks at her, the Queen gently grasps his face in her hands and says, "All these years and you haven't aged a bit, Alucard," she says eloquently as she let goes of Alucard's face, "Unfortunately, the marching of time has not been as kind to me. Now, I'm just an old woman."

"But I still see that spirited young woman I saw fifty years ago within you, your Majesty." Alcuard remarked in a respectful and kind tone, "In fact, the times have made you even more beautiful in my eyes."

The Queen smiled and let out a small chuckle. After that, she turns to Rodeo's direction and says, "You must be the one that Integra spoke of, right?"

"Yes, your majesty. My name is Rodeo," Rodeo responded while bowing down.

"...Come to me."

"Oh! Alright your majesty."

Approaching the Queen, Rodeo bows down in front of her while his helmet rests on his right arm.

The Queen proceeded to pat his head and chuckled, "You're quite adorable with those ears of yours, but the scar on your face might tell a different story."

"I get that a lot."

"I see, I'm sorry we had to drag you and your friends into our conflict with our current enemy."

"No, your majesty. You don't need to apologize, I decided to be part of this because I want to help you all and not see innocents get killed by this Millennium," Rodeo stated with a stern look in his eyes, "However, they are not the only threat as an enemy that followed me and my friends are here... The Dark Aether."

"But we still thank you for helping us until now, Rodeo."

"Your welcome, your majesty. We'll continue doing our best to keep the forces of evil from harming the good of the innocent, even if it means getting more scars and pain to my body without giving up."

"I admire your bravery and honesty, but now back to the matter at hand," she says as she looks at Alucard, asking "Your report."

Alucard nodded his head as he rose up and addressed the meeting, where he began explaining the true identity of Millennium.

"Fifty five years ago, an insane Reich major was creating a vampire army. Me and Walter eliminate all of them and stop their operations, but they have returned, with their numbers replenished and are here to complete their original mission. This is what Millennium is... The Third Reichs, "The Last Battalion"!"

Everyone in the round table were in shock and taken back by the true identity of Millenium. Seeing the stunned expressions on the people's faces, Rodeo stood up and requested the Queen.

"May I say something to everyone here, your Majesty?"

"You may."

"Thank you," Rodeo replied, his face solemn when facing everyone present, "To everyone present here, while I can agree Millennium is a threat we can't ignore, the Dark Aether were a bigger threat than they are, and I'm talking about this world ending at his hands."

"Oh really?" Maxwell asked inquisitively, "Care to explain to me and the rest here what this dark aether is? The more we know, the better we understand."

"Alright. However, it will be very complicated at first, but you will understand soon. So..."

As time passed, Rodeo had explained the lore related to the Call of Duty zombies universe. From the summoning key, Agartha, the Dark Aether, the Shadow Man, various timeline scenarios, Team Ultimis and Primis, Edward Richthofen and Ludwig Maxis' involvement in discovering the dark aether, and the original multiverse of the zombies universe being drawn into the dark aether alongside the apothicons are all mentioned.

Everything.

"I....I.....don't know what to say." Maxwell muttered after being shocked from hearing the information that Rodeo gave regarding the origins of the dark aether.

"It took two teams from two different timelines, a huge load of multiverse theory, hopping and destruction of the summoning key to get the dark aether sealed, until another universe the dark aether was discovered and started coming back again. Now the Forsaken rules the dark aether and the monstrosities within it. He and the dark aether are corruption and darkness incarnate at a cosmic scale."

"...Can our current world's weaponry and army combined with the might of Alucard at his fullest, you and your friends and the Iscariot organization will be enough to stop them?"

Rodeo noticed that everyone was staring at him, waiting for an answer. Rodeo paused for a few seconds and went deep in thought, crossing his arms briefly before heaving out a deep sigh.

"In all honesty, your majesty... I don't think so."

"What do you mean, you don't think so?!" Maxwell exclaimed.

"The dark aether is cosmic, not supernatural in nature, and me and my friends fighting and winning against the Forsaken in their universe was just sheer luck and fate on our side. Moreover, his forces are endless with no end to it, and the Forsaken ain't going down easily unless we have someone of his caliber or weaponry that can harm cosmic entities like him, and combined that with the fact that we have no idea who his new allies are and who could be equally dangerous as he is, we can only close his portals and slow him down, or delay his arrival, but it's already too late. He is ready and will strike. When? I don't know."

The room was entirely silent as most of those present had a difficult time to process what Rodeo meant...

"Oh boy. First, Tubalcain's blood has given us away it seems, now this Forsaken is quite a handful in the way you describe him. The Major really blew it this time."

Everyone's eyes widened as they saw a boy in his mid-teens with blonde hair, pinkish red eyes and surprisingly cat-like ears.

He was a member of Millennium.

Schrodinger

[IMAGES]

"It's a Trap!" Karl Heisenberg loudly exclaimed.

Along with Karl, everyone else gasps as Pip, Heinkel, and Rodeo pull out their weapons and point them at Schrodinger.

"Warten sie!" Schrodinger yells as he raises his hands up and carefully approaches the round table, "I'm not here to fight anyone, and… how do you say? 'Do not shoot ze messenger?'"

"How did he get in here?!" Integra questioned.

"We had over a dozen guards posted outside." Walter stated.

Alcina widened her eyes, "...Wait, those were ours?"

Integra facepalmed, "Please do not tell me you knocked them all out when you arrived here because they were being hostile to you and the rest because of your strange appearances, Alcina?"

"...I mean, how did he get past all the guards?" Alcina wondered as she asked innocently.

Schrodinger sets up a portable TV of some sort on the table. It was rectangular in shape but quite thin, making it easy to carry.

"They are useless against me even if they weren't knocked out, because I'm everywhere and nowhere."

"How does that work?" Karl inquired, puzzled.

"It. Just. Works."

'Hes just a boy,' Seras thought as she looked at Schrodinger, 'What exactly is Millennium? What are they after?'

Noticing her gaze, Schrodinger looked at Seras curiously as he continued to stare at her.

"What?" Seras asked, feeling weirded.

"...Guten Tag (Hello)"

Seras, who was a bit surprised by the friendly gesture, regained her composure and responded, "Gu...ten tag?"

Schrodinger smiles warmly before diverting his attention to Rodeo.

"So you're a cat as well?"

Rodeo frowned, "Yes... I am."

Schrodinger grinned, "It's good to meet another fellow humanoid cat person like you, Herr Rodeo."

"You know me?"

"Oh we know a lot about you, about your friends and Hellsing, even the tall lady herself."

"I'm still more popular than you." Alcina says quietly to Karl, who clicks his tongue in irritation.

"Shut the fuck up."

Looking at the ones at the round table, Schrodinger announced, "Now my commanding officer, ze major would like to personally introduce himself, along with our vonderful organization."

Schrodinger brought out a remote and pressed a button to turn the TV on, but nothing happened.

"What!? Uh- ah-"

Confused, Schrodinger kept pressing the button on the remote, but it still did not turn on.

While Schrodinger was struggling, Daniela cast a glance at Integra and asked, "Can I pet his ears?"

"No."

"...Okay." Daniela mumbled as she lowered her head.

Alcina pats Daniela on the head, "It's okay my dear. We still have Rodeo."

Suddenly, everyone heard a voice emanating from the TV even though the screen had yet to turn on.

[Schrodinger?]

"It's not working, Major!"

Karl Heisenberg snickered.

[Did you click TV zen power?]

"Oh wait..." Schrodinger's face became embarrassed as he checked the remote and TV, "I'm on video 2."

[Nein, Video 1]

"Got it!

Finally, as soon as Schrodinger switched the TV to Video 1, the screen finally lit up to reveal the Major.

[IMAGES]

[Hello~!]

"...Hahahahahaha, ahahahahahaha!" Karl burst into laughter as soon as he sees the Major, "He's so fucking fat!"

"Hahahahahaha! He looks exactly like the Duke!" Daniela added.

Suddenly, they were all startled to hear a man screaming in the background behind the Major from the TV.

"Whose screaming on TV?" Angie wondered.

'It seems like he's started getting rid of those who aren't in line with his goals.' Rodeo thought.

"It appears you have your hands full, Major." Schrodinger said.

[No, everything is going swimmingly. In fact, I feel as if a great weight has been lifted off my shoulders. So I'm feeling wonderful today.] Major said with a smile... a very evil smile to be exact.

Approaching the television, Alucard greeted the Major with a smile in return.

"Hello Major."

"Ah, if it isn't the memorable Alucard! I'm so happy to see you again. It's been far too long."

Alucard gives out a faint yet maniacal giggle. Integra turned to face the Major, grumbling beneath her breath, and inquired.

"What do you want?"

[Hm? Oh so we finally meet face to face with each other, Sir Integra Hellsing. The vampire's provider. It's a pleasure to meet you.]

"What's the purpose of you showing yourself here? What are you trying to accomplish? Answer me!"

[The purpose? That's quite a silly question to ask. Purpose? How quaint, our purpose is the total absence of purpose itself. You should be aware that there are some people in this world, particularly irredeemable louts, for whom the means does not require an end. I, of course, speak for myself.]

The television screen switched to show footage of a man, who was actually a Millennium member being shredded and devoured by Millennium artificial vampire soldiers. In fact, he was the one screaming a minute earlier as most of the people in the room looked in shock and horror.

"I regret asking who was screaming earlier." Angie said shakingly.

"Wow Major!" Schrodinger laughed, "I didn't know your decision would be this harsh for the ones who wouldn't follow your road."

"You all are insane." Maxwell muttered in disgust.

The television screen switched back to show the Major again, who's attention was on Maxwell.

"Do I hear the head of the Iscariot organization questioning my sanity? Then let me ask you, if your God would allow my madness to flourish across the globe, then wouldn't it be to you that anyone like that would be just as mad as I?" The Major said as he smiled menacingly, "We are the finest of the Third Reich, do you have any idea how many people we have extinguished? I'm insane? What foolishness, you should have said that fifty years ago, but nevermind that, just try to stop me you self-proclaimed decent people. But the Iscariot organization is not my real enemy. My enemy is England, the hellsing organization, and the man laughing in the corner back there."

Turning around, everyone saw Alucard was laughing like a maniac.

"...I like those laughs of his." Alcina said, smiling seductively.

"What?" Karl said as he looked at Alcina weirdly.

Alucard laughed, "A declaration of war? Excellent!" he says excitedly as his fist grip tightly, "I can't wait to destroy you all again."

[No matter what you do. We will never give up. We'll reverse this absurd circumstance as many times as we want…]

Turning to Rodeo's direction, the Major added, "And of course, very interesting to see by the way, herr Rodeo. You are someone that bothers me."

"In what way, Major Crazy?"

The Major chuckles, [Nice attempt to insult me but you need to do better than that. You see, your way of perceiving things, well... it's too boring, and I don't want that to derail my war.]

"Boring?! May I remind you I fight for the right cause and beat down those who are evil... with these fists," Rodeo said, raising his fist as he continued, "I'm ready to make your war less entertaining and make you be bored to death. Even if you did attack London, don't forget you're not the only threat walking out there, the Forsaken ain't like you and he'll kill you no doubt about it, or better yet, a hellsing does, like Integra."

[Perhaps Herr Rodeo, but your heroism, your conceptions of good and evil, and your moral codes are just... old. Me and Alucard have learned what the world truly is and what good and evil are, and while I admire your determination, you're still a child trying to grow up.] He said harshly, [So tell me something, Herr Rodeo, do you fear death? Not only for you, but also for those closest to you and willing to sacrifice the others just to save one?]

"..."

[See. That is your issue, you cannot save both. Only one or you'll lose all. As I previously stated, you're still a child attempting to develop into the reality of the world, little kitty.]

"Alucard. Rodeo. Seras. Shoot."

Under Integra's command, Alucard raised his gun and blew Schrodinger's head off, leaving his body limp... or so one would think.

[Fine. Shoot the messenger if this is what you want, Auf wiedersehen Sir Integra. We shall cross paths on the battlefield. I'm looking forward to it, especially you, Herr Rodeo.]

Simultaneously, Rodeo and Seras both pull out their weapons and point it at the TV, and fire, shattering it into a thousand pieces. As a result of this, everyone turned back their direction on the floor, where the corpse of Schrodinger's body and all of his blood... was no longer there and had completely vanished.

"Woah, looks like he was self-cleaning, and/or magical." Karl commented.

"Alucard. Sir Hellsing. Sir Rodeo." The Queen called the three out as they focused their attention on her, to which she added, "Destroy them, even the new enemies, whoever they might be. You have my orders."

Rodeo responds with a bow, "Alright, your majesty. Me and my team won't let you down. We'll do our best."

"And I hope you and your friends make it out alive, Sir Rodeo. It's hard to see good souls like you fade away from this world."

"Don't worry, your majesty. We won't fall to death, not now, not ever."

"Then I wish you good luck on your mission, Sir Rodeo."

"Thank you, your majesty."

——————————————————————

In an unknown location, there was a large spatial room with numerous screens on the walls and a chair in one corner of the room, in which Schrodinger, who was quite alive and was currently seated with dozens of Millennium soldiers and officers who were in the room conversing to one another. Most, if not all, of them were Artificial vampires.

The door in the room suddenly opened, and in came the Major, escorted by two men.

The Doctor.

[IMAGES]

And the Captain.

[IMAGES]

"You're so slow. In the time it took you to just walk one down one hallway," Schrodinger says as he gazes at the Major, "I went all the way to London, got my head blown off and made it back. Perhaps you should lose some weight, Major."

The Major chuckles, "Although, I couldn't do that."

"Show some respect, Schrodinger!" The Doctor yells angrily as he removes Schrodinger off the chair.

"It's alright, Doctor. He carried out his mission successfully." Major remarked, staring at Schrodinger who smiled triumphantly while the Doctor grumbles. As he sat down on his chair, he commanded, "Send up the beacon. The signal fire of defiance, announcing our grand return to this mortal world."

"What about this... Forsaken and the dark aether, Major? Clearly we shouldn't ignore them, right? Given how Herr Rodeo explained about him." Schrodinger said, feeling a bit worried.

"Oh Schrodinger, they are not a matter. In fact, they will be a nice edition to our battlefield, if they put up a good show that is. Let's hope Herr Rodeo doesn't disappoint us as well, the more the merrier as they say."

"I mean it's not like the Forsaken's new allies are like us, just that they are from an alternate universe, right?"

"Now that would be ironic if we think about it," The Doctor muttered as he stroked his chin with a wryly smile. Turning to face the man in a brown coat, he asked, "What do you think, Captain?"

"..."

The Captain isn't a talker, he always stays silent. Nonetheless, he is a powerful fighter in the Millennium's ranks.

The Doctor laughed, "Well, it's not like this irony will come true or anything."

Ironically enough... it does.
