Ghouls and Dragons(1)

Outside the hellsing grounds, two men can be seen discussing as they travel down the route that leads to the manor. One wore a blue cap with an eye symbol, a blue long sleeved shirt and jeans, and had light dark skin, yellow eyes, and black hair. 

The other had blonde hair and pale skin, wore a white suit with a white coat over it and glasses with green eyes underneath. Both had an American accent to them when they spoke to each other. 

These were the artificial vampires, Jan & Luke Valentine

"So the guy's friend is a doctor, one of those plastic surgeon types you know, and here's this patient who's just fucking crazy, he asked the doctor drill a hole on his head and put a glass plate in there, so that you can see his brain inside, and the doctor does it." The man named Jan told his odd story to his brother, "Then the guy got a plastic horn attached to his head, now he's a monster! What the hell was he doing right bro?"

"Shut up."

"Hm?"

"You're always yammering before we start doing a job," Luke nonchalantly said, "You should be quiet and cool."

Jan rolled his eyes, "Yeah, yeah, yeah, same old shit, I know, I know."

"Failure is not permitted."

"Failure? No fucking way! I could do this in my sleep."

As they talked, the two approached the gates, which were being guarded by two armed hellsing members. Jan and Luke were halted by the two Hellsing members as soon as they noticed them. 

"What are you doing here? This place is off limits." One of the guards said.

"I beg your pardon," Luke politely said, "We're on a tour of lesser-known locations."

"This mansion isn't open to the public?" Jan asked.

"This is private property, please leave at once."

Luke smirked, "Very well."

Snap!

With a snap of his fingers, a bullet flies out of nowhere and hits one of the two hellsing members in the head and he collapses on the ground dead. 

"What the hell!?"

In absolute shock, the hellsing member looked at the end of the pathway and saw two buses with numerous gun barrels sprouting from their windows and pointing at him and the gates.

"!!!"

"Well then, see ya."

With a grin on his face, Jan snapped his fingers and the ones in the buses started firing at the gates and the hellsing member completely shredded both of them in a bloody mess. 

"Hold your fire! Hold it! Stop!"

Following Jan's commands, the assailants ceased fire in response, and the Valentine brothers' stared at the completely destroyed gate and the two hellsing members' hole-filled corpses. 

"Bro, these guys are fucking idiots, are you sure about this?" Jan inquired of his brother.

"This is a test, just an insignificant ordinary test." Luke observed coldly, "Those guys, as well as the two of us, are nothing more than a process to him."

"A test, huh? Alrighty."

Snap!

Jan snapped his fingers once more, and the doors of the buses blew open, revealing dozens of ghouls, a combination of vampire and undead created by vampires, were walking out of the two vehicles. Although these ones are dressed in modern military attire and carrying small armaments such as assault rifles and submachine guns, as well as metal riot shields. The ghouls stood in attention, laying their purple glowing eyes as Jan brought out a pair of P90 submachine guns.

"Attention, all bitches! Off the bus and line up in order! I got a class assignment for all of y'all!"

Shortly after that, Jan, Luke and the armed ghouls stroll past the destroyed gates and head for the manor, where they begin blasting and shredding their way through many hellsing armed guards stationed inside the ground floor and first floor areas of the manor. 

Rodeo and his allies, with the exception of Alcina, were unfortunately on the ground floor, yes, but in a different hallway that was far from the main entrance and were too preoccupied with the dark aether zombies. 

As soon as they left the scene, five dark aether portals suddenly appeared in the pathway where the buses were parked. From the portals came not dark aether zombies, but twenty-five soldiers in distinctive armor clothing with a mix of black and gray color to it, wielding uniquely designed assault rifles with a unique W emblem on their helmets.

"Männer, hört zu (Men, listen up)" The leading soldier in front said in German, "Wir sollen hier neben diesen zerbrochenen Toren bleiben und wenn der Verlassene uns dann telepathisch den Befehl gibt, feuern wir jede Kugel auf die Eingangstür des Herrenhauses selbst, wenn sie versuchen, von dort herauszukommen, in Ordnung? (We are to stay here next to those broken gates, and when the Forsaken gives us the order, we fire every bullet on the manor entrance door itself, if they try to exit from there, is that clear?)"

"JAWOHL!"

"...And while the mime did survive, he'll never walk again."

The lights in the meeting room started flickering which caught Integra and the conference of twelve members attention. 

"What's going on, Integra?" Sir Irons inquired.

Suddenly, the phone next to her started buzzing, followed by a hellsing guard's voice through the intercom.

[This is the control room! Sir Integra!]

Integra frowned,  "What is it? What happened?"

[It's an attack! An enemy attack!]

"What?!"

[We're cut off from the outside world! There's a battle going on now at the first floor entrance!]

"Drive them back! Buy time if you can't!" 

[Roger!]

"But who are they, and how many of them are there?! Tell me!"

[They're... ghouls.] 

The entire meeting room went silent as a few drops of sweat fell down from their shocked and horrified faces. 

[Also, there is something else as well.]

"What?"

[Sir Rodeo and his allies except for Lady Dimitrescu are currently fighting some unknown hostiles with orange eyes on the ground floor hallways remote from the main ground floor entrance. I'm not sure whether they are ghouls or not, but many of them are coming out of this... some kind of gateway.]

"Orange eyes? Gateway?" Integra was puzzled at what he meant. However, she began to recall what Rodeo had said, prompting her to frown profoundly, "My god, they're here as well."

"Who's here?!" Sir Penwood asked loudly as he couldn't understand what was happening.

"...The Dark Aether."

——————————————————————

Rodeo was currently beating up every dark aether zombie and special types zombies that came close to him with his fists, blowing them up with his explosions, blasting them with his shotguns, and cutting them down along with Karl, Moreau, the Dimitrescu daughters, and Miranda, while Donna and Angie were hiding behind a couple of pieces of furniture and using the flowers to hallucinate a number of zombies to keep half of them at bay, making it easier for the group so they won't quickly get overwhelmed.

"How the hell did they find us?!" shouted Karl as he smashed another zombie with his hammer.

"I don't know! Just keep killing them until we find a way to reach the others!"

From behind, Miranda can be seen swiftly slashed numerous zombies in half with her claws, "That's easier said than done given how many are coming after us and not giving us some breathing room!"

Suddenly, most of the zombies' bodies started glowing scarlet red, and the next instant, they all charged even faster and more aggressively in their attacks. 

"Is it me, or have they become more aggressive?" Daniela wondered as she began to feel struggling against them.

"I can see that!" Rodeo responded loudly as he searched for the source until he stopped when he looked up to see a new special-type zombie hovering in the air and sending beams of red energy at the zombies, making them more aggressive with their attacks as it wore a red glowing skull mask and hood over it.

A Dark Aether Disciple 

[IMAGES]

"Oh, it's these guys."

Looking down at Rodeo with murderous intent, the Disciple fired a beam of red energy at him to wipe him out, but Rodeo quickly rolled to the right and dodged the attack. 

"Time to test the new modifications that Walter and Karl put in the armor."

Immediately after he says that, Rodeo quickly points one of his arms at the Disciple, and a grappler hook fires from his gauntlet, striking the Disciple in the chest.

"Get over here!"

The automatic gear mechanism was used the moment he reels his arm back, and the Disciple was forcibly dragged towards Rodeo, who sends out two hidden blades from two small rectangular slits on his gauntlets and stabbed the Disciple in the head, killing it as it disintegrated into red particles. 

'Seems like the timeline is going to change.' Rodeo thought as he continued fighting the zombie horde with the rest.

——————————————————————

Bang! Bang! Bang!

With a shit-eating grin on his face, Jan wiped out a few more hellsing guards with his P90 submachine guns. Not long ago, those guards tried to attack him from all sides in the hallways, only to fail miserably.

"There's only one invincible vampire, and that's me!" Jan shouted, blasting one last survivor with his weapon, "Damn, I'm feeling really great about this." he said as he heads down the hallway with his ghoul soldiers followed behind while his brother, Luke, glance down the hallway on his left and sensed a stronger presence coming from that direction... and he knew who was giving off that presence. 

The real fucking vampire, Alucard. 

"Hmm..."

With the corner of his lips curled up into a tiny smirk, Luke travels down that hallway to look for Alucard by following his presence, but little did he know that it isn't Alucard's presence he is detecting, but he will confront another monster beside the No-life King. But it won't change the fact that Luke's fate will be sealed the moment he comes into contact with that monster.

——————————————————————

'Damn it! First ghouls and now the dark aether zombies.'

In the meeting room, Integra gritted her teeth in anger, two kinds of forces attacking her base at the same time, such a shitty day it was. Despite the fact that there are over a hundred trained guards at the premises at all times, nearly the situation wasn't under control.

"We need to buy some time!" One of the Conference members exclaimed.

"Our first priority is to evacuate and secure ourselves a path to the helipad on the roof!" Said another.

Just then, a muffled explosion can be heard and shook the room they were in, sending dust falling from the ceiling.

"What was that sound?" A frightened Conference member inquired hesitantly.

[I'm afraid that was the escape helicopter exploding.] The Hellsing guard stated over the intercom.

"They know our every move." Integra muttered.

[Sir Integra, we need orders, we can't hold them off any longer. We-... Oh no, they're here! They're-... OH MY GO-]

Then, there was complete silence from the phone, after a sound of squelch and dial tone was heard.

"Security office report! What's going on?!"

From Integra's stern words, there was no response from the phone... until Jan's voice was heard over the intercom. 

[Hello? Hello? Can you hear me? Good day to all of you at the conference meeting. Can you hear me little miss hellsing bitch!? We're the Valentine brothers! My name is Jan Valentine, nice to meet you. We're in the middle of a late lunch right now, thanks for providing your men. I'll give them credit for fighting back but they're no longer alive, therefore we're going to slaughter you all next. Are you sweating bullets? Have you started saying your prayers? Are you ready to tremble in the corner and beg for your lives? Well, that's up to you. Anyways, see y'all soon!]

The call ends the moment he finishes announcing them, Integra bites her lower lip as her mind is flooded with rage.

"Now what do we do?" One of the Conference members asked.

"The enemy is coming, and it appears we have a security breach."

"Don't be so nonchalant about this!" 

True to his words, Integra's apathetic gaze stared at the phone, and she pressed a button on it to contact Seras's room, knowing that Walter might be there. 

"Walter, where are you?"

[I'm in Miss Seras's basement chamber.]

——————————————————————

At Seras's room, Alucard and Seras were both looking at Walter, who was on the phone with Integra.

"I already have a grasp of the situation, it'll be four to five hours before military police reinforcements arrive upon noticing our disrupted communications," Walter said, "In the meantime, current forces will have to defend the conference room."

[What should we do?] 

"There's only one way to the conference room, please fortify the entrance and I suggest that we divide Alucard and Seras, and perhaps Sir Rodeo and his allies-"

Integra cuts him off, [Walter, they are facing off against the Forsaken's dark aether forces in a hallway on the ground floor, but Lady Dimitrescu isn't with them.]

"What?! They're here!"

[It seems so, according to the information I got from our men... before they got killed.]

"Good grief, then we'll divide Alucard and Seras into two teams, one will provide defense and the other for the offense, how does that sound?" 

Walter could feel Integra agreed to him as the woman on the other end of the intercom asked, [How will you get here? The passageway is swarming with ghouls, or for all we know, might be crawling with dark aethers.]

"How did you get to Alucard in the basement ten years ago?"

[...The ventilation shafts!] 

"Correct, please wait for a little while, we'll be there momentarily."

[Walter, they killed our people, this I will not forgive!] Integra said with rage within her voice, [There must not be even one left standing!] 

With his glasses shining brightly, Walter pulls out his razor wires from his gloves and hangs up the call.

"Most certainly not, Sir Integra."

"Are we about to witness the return of Walter, the angel of death?" Alucard asked, a devilish grin forming on his face.

Seras seemed perplexed, "Uhh what are you talking about?"

"You'll see soon enough."

Walter looks at Seras, "An old man and a rookie. Together that should count as one, right?" he chuckles before shifting his gaze to Alucard, "Alucard, it seems like the Forsaken and his forces have also arrived, and Rodeo and his allies are currently dealing with them, according to what Sir Integra told me earlier."

"Oh?" 

Seras's eyes widened, "What?! Then they need backup!" 

"If we go for Sir Rodeo and his allies now, the ghouls might reach Sir Integra and the conference members and we'll be too late, Miss Seras." Walter said in response to Seras' worrisome comments, "Also, Sir Integra mentioned that Lady Dimitrescu isn't with Rodeo and his allies." he stated.

Alucard smiled, "Oh, she's in the sub-basement." 

"...What?" Seras and Walter both said, staring weirdly at the No-Life King.

"It's not what you think, I'll explain it later, but consider me and Lady Dimitrescu as part of the offense, as well as Rodeo and his allies," Alucard said while having a smile on his face, "Looks like we can have a little fun this time."

Immediately after he said this, Alucard left the room. 

"I wonder if there are any normal people in this organization," Seras remarked dryly.
