Another New Enemy(3)

An overview of Rio de Janeiro was provided, with emphasis on the Christ the Redeemer statue. The scene faded to the hotel where the group were staying in, highlighting the penthouse suit.

Rodeo, who was still in the coffin with Seras who was still asleep, noticed the coffin open up to reveal Alucard above him, this jolted Seras to immediately awake when that happened.

"Oh, morning master."

"Evening. Now both of you get up, something interesting is about to happen."

Rodeo stood out of the coffin and glanced around, "Where are we?" he asked.

"At the hotel. Luckily I was able to get you in."

"Figured."

Unexpectedly, the lights in the penthouse suite they were in went out. Seras handed Rodeo armor's helmet and wondered.

"Why did the lights go out?"

Following her question, the trio heard noises outside. Curiosity drove them to the window, where they saw news helicopters flying in the sky before peering down to witness a platoon of swat soldiers stepping out of swat vehicles and entering the hotel.

'Shit! I forgot that part where this is a plan set up by Millennium!' Rodeo mentally yells, 'Goddamn it, how did I forget about it. But this is not the only one I'm worrying about.'

Gradually glancing at Alucard's direction, Rodeo's eyes shrinks upon seeing Alucard's menacing expression, especially his malicious grin that caused Rodeo to shiver.

"Oh no."

"Ahahahaha! Now let us go to war!"

Pip & Karl were in a hotel room, watching some television and drinking beverages that were available in the hotel.

Gulping a couple of times, Karl let out a satisfying sigh, "Ah! Holy fuck, it's been so long I ever drink some of these luxurious stuff. Decades of being imprisoned in a small village by that bitch Miranda was such a pain in the ass, gotta thank Forsaken for invading our universe."

Pip raised an eyebrow and asked, "Wait, what did madam Miranda do?"

"Oh, nothing really, just some dumb stuff like leading a village, experimenting on people, making an army for a rebellion and some shit. But now that thought just washed away since that kid Rodeo appeared out of nowhere."

"...I think I need some more context of what you explain."

Karl frowned, "What? Want me to make a long bedtime story or some shi-"

[Shots fired from the penthouse suite on the top floor.]

"What?"

Shifting his gaze to the TV, Karl let out a grave expression. Noticing his expression, Pip looks at the TV to see the news coverage relating to Alucard, Rodeo and Seras in the penthouse suite. The sounds of police sirens and screamings can be heard.

[The initial SWAT team has not reported back, leading officials to fear the worst.] The news reporter said as the screen then shifted to a few captured pictures of Alucard, Seras, and surprisingly Rodeo for some reason.

"Spurt!" Pip spits out his drink.

[The terrorist trio consists of a young British woman, a male dressed in a very weird pink cat cosplay, and some Ozzy Osbourne-looking motherfucker.]

Karl frowned, "Seems like Millennium is pulling the strings on this."

At that moment, the two heard the door knock. Curious, Karl proceeds to open it, only be confronted by over fifteen Manglers.

"._."

Leaning backwards to get a good look at those creatures, Pip let out a stunning expression upon seeing something he never lay his eyes before.

"Are those…?"

"Annihilate. All. Who-"

Bam!

With a loud bang, Karl slammed the door in their faces and hastily barricaded the door with every item in the room before turning to face the frozen Pip.

"Put your shirt back on, the dark aether is here! We. Are. Leaving!"

Snapping out of his daze, Pip follows Karl's words and frantically puts his shirt and suit back on as the Manglers try to break into the room. As soon as they finish, Pip and Karl, without a second thought, break out the window and land on the ground.

"Okay kid, I have a plan," Karl Heisenberg looked at Pip and began to explain his plan, "I'll divert the swat soldiers' attention so that they focus on something else, take a helicopter when they're not looking, and use it to escape with the rest."

"What about you?"

"I'll head to the hotel, good luck."

Pip gave him a thumbs up before both of them went their separate ways.

——————————————————————

At the hotel, a squad of swat soldiers stormed into the penthouse suite with their submachine guns drawn. The moment they spotted Alucard near the window, without a moment of hesitation, they all immediately fired at him, the bullets shredded Alucard entirely and collapsed on the floor dead, or so the swat soldiers thought.

The commanding soldier glanced at his men and motioned them to move out, knowing their job was done. However, just as they were about to depart...

"You dogs…"

In absolute shock, the swat soldiers jerked their heads back to Alucard.

"You certainly pack quite a punch," Alucard compliments them as his body starts regenerating, "But I cannot be killed by dogs."

As soon as his body fully regenerates, he glares at the soldiers with greater malicious intent.

"It takes a man to kill a monster!"

In a blur of red and black, the No-Life King was upon the group of soldiers, his long coat swirling out behind him as he moved faster than their eyes could follow. Opening his large mouth filled with teeth like a ferocious beast, Alucard ripped one of the swat soldier's head off before slicing three more in half with his bare hands.

Two swat soldiers fled in terror, closing the door to escape the monster that had killed most of their comrades in mere seconds.

In the meantime, Seras came out of a cabinet where Alucard had instructed her to hide, while Rodeo was forcibly trapped in a closet. With a clicking noise audible by everyone, the closet doors were blasted open before Rodeo's figure stepped out with an infuriated look.

The reason he was like that was because he was knocked unconscious by Alucard and placed inside the closet earlier, the two were in an argument with Rodeo wasn't in agreement with Alucard that the swat soldiers being manipulated by Millennium needed to be killed.

"Goddamnit Alucard!"

"Rodeo. Seras. Prepare for battle." Alucard commanded the two, ignoring Rodeo's agitated behavior.

"But... master... these people. They are humans." Seras mumbled, glancing at the swat soldiers' corpses with a hesitant look.

"They could have reasoned with you vampiric asshole!" Rodeo yelled.

"Your point?" Alucard said bluntly.

"They didn't deserve to die at this moment!"

Before Rodeo could react, Alucard grabs him by the throat and pulls him close to his face, leaving Seras speechless as she could only watch the two hesitantly.

"I don't care what they are! They came here and tried to kill us. It no longer matters what they are, they must die. This is just the way it is. This is what must have to be done, and no one has the power to change that. Not god, the devil, or YOU!"

"..."

"This is just the way it is." Alucard repeated, before releasing Rodeo and turning to face Seras, who had heard everything. Ordering her to remain here, Alucard proceeds to move forward until he hears Rodeo exclaim behind him.

"I refuse to let you do this! Let me deal with them myself!"

"Young man, the world is bigger than this! Your ways of handling things can't work everywhere, especially in a world of insane people! You have yet to grow past your conflicts! Even if you did talk to them and get them on our side it will not matter! They will still be those who see us as monsters no matter because we are and try to kill us! So grow up, child!"

Bam!

Rodeo punched Alucard's face really fucking hard that it fractured his skull and took a step back. However, his usual healing abilities repaired the injury from the punch while Seras was stunned by what had transpired.

"I am not a child and I know there are other ways to settle this. Why can't you understand?!"

"...Rodeo, do not make me kill you if you stop me from my mission because if we fight now against each other, Millennium wins and we lose. Do you want that to happen now? At this very moment?"

"I…"

"Do you?"

"...No."

"Then let me do my job," Alucard said, turning to face Seras and commands, "Come along Seras, no time to be a coward."

"Right!"

"Tch." Rodeo clicked his tongue in irritation. It was unlikely that he would win against Alucard in an argument, both Ultimate and Abridged.

Standing near the window where the full moon shone into his figure, Alucard made a call to Integra through a phone. For a brief moment, someone from the other end of the call answers.

"Who is it?"

"It's your humble servant, Sir Integra. Give me my orders, Master."

"...What did you do to the SWAT team they sent in?"

"I took them out. Left none standing. Now give me my orders, Sir Integra. I believe the senior officials of the police and the ones leading the SWAT's are under Millennium's control. These people stand against me, but I will strike them down without a moment's hesitation and without regret. I am a monster and I will do what needs to be done. But what will you do, Sir Integra? My guns are prepared for battle. My sights are trained. My magazine is fully loaded. I've pulled the slide and removed the safety. Everything is ready but still, you must be the one to pull the trigger. So what will you do? I'm waiting for my orders, my master. Sir Integra Fairbook Wingates Hellsing."

There was a bit of silence on the other end of the call, but at that moment, Integra spoke out sternly.

"...Do not question my resolve! I've already given your orders, soldier! You will search and destroy! Any resistance you encounter must be crushed! We don't run and hide! Kill them all! Leave none standing!"

Upon hearing her words, Alucard burst out laughing, "Then by your orders my master, I hope you enjoy the show."

The moment he ended the call, Seras and Rodeo noticed a massive shit-eating grin they ever saw in his face that would frighten anyone when laying their eyes upon it.

"Integra gave you the green light... didn't she?" Rodeo inquired.

"Yes, she did. Now Rodeo, stay with Seras here. Don't get in my way, or I will not hesitate in taking you out. You can't let certain decisions and emotions in your head cloud your judgment. You know this must be done... or Millennium cannot be stopped."

"...Alucard, you're crazy."

"Call me whatever you want, but right now..."
