OOC: Ok, haha funny. Sorry about not responding, I was distracted. Let me explain everything else though. I never said we didn't get shot at. I even said the helicopters were banking trying to avoid gunfire. I also explained why we were able to get through the hangar doors. They malfunctioned. Not to mention this isn't the first time where two things, that should have happened at different points in time, have happened at the same time. For example most recently, Hellsing skipped ahead a week in time so Integra could go to the Cemetery without delay. Iscariot continued doing the same things it had been for a whole week with little to nothing done in that week, Everyone was still standing at Enrico's desk, reporting in on events that had just happened, and then skipped ahead a week, but nothing changed. So, sorry for the time dilation here. My bad. But you have to admit, another attack on Hellsing Manor just wasn't gonna cut it. We just did that and have too few active members to accomplish that. So, bring Hellsing to the Machina and you still get your beloved war, but with a twist. Once the whole Illuminati plot is over, you'll be back to a normal Major routine anyway, so why not start off with a bang and something different.

OOC:and still you fail to see the bigger picture, I've already told you I don't give two shits about herr major getting captured. That's the last time I'm going to repeat myself, yes distracted...w/e don't give a shit now anyway, guess I'll just try to plan small things in the future so you don't have to fuck around with the timing to get what you want. I'm not continuing this conversation

Quote-"Not you dummkopfs! Zhose dummkopfs over zhere!" He pointed to his right. The main crowd died down, and a small crowd of 25 started cheering.
OOC:dunno about you but...in the face of the third reich a small group of 25 is not alot at all.
yet another quote: His mission had been a success overall despite the loss of 55 men
OOC:usually I don't really care about specifics and numbers that you were counting but in this case I feel like it. again, 55 is still not alot of men in regards to Millenium's numbers. Even at this time...thought Schrodinger would have followed orders or atleast warned the rest of the ship...apparently not. If you don't like Millenium then just say so...but as Alu has told the rest of Illuminati and Millenium...take some initiative... I'll probably post later on tonight, really not in the posting mood right now

The Major stood, a look of complete shock passed over his face so quick most people woudn't have believed it had changed from that of joy. His chair spun in his sudden absence, the creak as it turned a full 180 degrees. Vhat vunderful news indeed... his voice trailed off as his thoughts started to stay his own. Hmmm, taken ze offensive after such losses, how truly I do admire you my sveet little fraulein. He walked around the map table, dragging his gloved hand across the surface. Reaching the end of the table he stared at his finger for a good long time, his smile never faded but he was lost in thought for a moment. He dropped his hand, seeing Schrodinger still sitting there, Herr Major raised an eyebrow but didn't press the note.

The loud echo of the Major's shoes making connection with the floors, mixed in with the airship's whirring motors and Schrodinger's delighted laughter. His finger pressed down on the airship's com link system. Mein soldiers...ze hangar bay ist being attacked...best ve get some people down zhere no? He took a demanding tone all the while remaining amused and calm at the same time. Hellsing...hello und velcome to mein ship...I'm sure your stay shall be vunderful und a pleasure...'tis a shame I know not of whom to owe the pleasure of such a visit but I welcome you nonezeless The major switched frequencies yet again to Hans peronal link. Seems haste is required mein Hauptsturmführer, ze airship ist being attacked as ve speak. A retaliation from ze previous battle no doubt... the link cut out. Hearing the hurried footsteps as all available troops started rushing towards the hangar bays.

OOC:to make it easier (seeing as you didn't give me the chance to beforehand much thanks to your haste) I'm going to play the part of the NPCs. just give me a chance to post in the hangar bay if you will

OOC:awws guess it's just catboy and fatman on this one eh Schro?
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Sturmbannfuhrer paced, seeing the battle taking place on his screens. He grinned as bodies were flung across the hangar bay and out into the open arms of the sky. The look of horror that passed along his soldier's faces when the butler and the vampire girl came. The shells from the harkonnen dropping them by the dozen, and the invisible wires cutting them up like chopped liver. He cackled as the fuel tank exploded and he felt it as it shook the ship with a slight tremor. Surely he shall show up zhen? Surely he vill make an appearance...unless he is protecting zhe late und great Integral. Such a vaste... he snorted in disgust at how Integra held him in his view now. Even now...'e refuses to present himself...I zhought I had provoked zumsing much more zhan just zhe butler und fledgeling...surely...

The major walked back across to his chair, seating himself and absent-mindedly spinning a bit. Do you zink maybe I have lost mein touch Schrodinger? Or do you zink it is zumsing else? He leaned back to look at the ceiling, perhaps it had just been an 'on the whim' attack. Integra didn't do a 'on the whim' attacks though. She planned things out, as did he and that pompuous bishop lurking in the shadows. The Major began to ponder the reason for the attack, rather than watching the attack heading into the corridors or the vanguard squad heading toward the engine room instead of holding the hangar bay. Schrodinger...vould you mind paying ze Hellsing commander a visit? I vould like to speak wis her personally...what she vould hope to achieve of such an attack...

Schrodinger was happily humming the Nazi marching song when he heard Herr Major speak once more. His ears perked up. "I don't zhink zo mein Major. No von zuch az you could loze touch vith var. Var ist your zymphony, and you are itz conductor." He smiled happily and looked even more like a cat for a moment. He opened his eye's with a devilish grin on his face at the last request. "Of course mein Major. I vill return as zoon as possible." With that Schrodinger was gone.

Exit to: Limbo

OOC: Considering Integra is at a location that Schrodinger is not aware of and it would look silly talking to myself if Integra's deserted office at the deserted mansion, i'll just head to limbo for a bit.

--> Enter from: Highgate Cemetary

A burst of black flames sprout up from the floor and began to black the Swastika that lay beneath them. Out of the flames, the red glasses peered out like a demon with a thirst for blood that wouldn't soon be forgotten. Indeed, Alucard had not forgotten this place and its almost irrevocable hunger for war. The smell of not long forgotten shoe polish and crisp uniforms still hung in the air and filled the No life King's lungs as he drew out a cold breath and stepped out of the flames clad in his usual red adornments. With a sneer, he glared at his prey with a look that most certainly would have sent any foe running for the hills. With a rattling breath, he taunted his prey with his typical air. "Ah. Somehow I am not surprised that I would find you here again. How long has it been Major? I can honestly say that after all this time, for you this tactic of yours has proved far more entertaining. Tell me, do you still enjoy watching your men be butchered like cattle? Does the thrill of hatred still fill you with that nostalgia that I saw on that battlefield so long ago? You may have adapted a new tactic but I can't say that your creations have gotten any better with age. We still keep meeting in the same places and you still run with your tail between your legs. Can you offer any good reason why I shouldn't end this all right here with your remains scattered all over this floor?"

Enter From: Air Ducts

OOC: We are in the Ducts above the room. No visible way to see or hear us.

It had been trouble getting through the ducts. David had come prepared for a standard hack and complete mission. But this tech was far too old for his advanced equipment to hack. It was just too basic. His 3D map of the area showed their target directly below them, 2 feet to the left of the duct opening. The True Nosferatu had also shown up moments prior to their entrance into the room. David stopped next to the control panel that opened the duct. He turned back to Egon. They needed a way to both get out of here with their prey, but the Vampire wasn't going to make things easier. David thought long and hard about it, blankly staring at Egon. Then it hit him. "Egon, our original plan incorporated shutting off the lights yes? We have two options. Below us is the Control Room, and the War Room below that. Herr Major and Alucard are located in the War Room on the lower level. With my silenced shoes, I should be able to get down there quietly and shut off the lights through the use of the controls. Option B, we can drop down and shoot out the lights. I'm hoping you have a rapid fire weapon with alot of rounds. Once the lights are out, the Vampire will be distracted for a little while, while his vision readjusts. It should give us enough time to get the Major to the portal. About the time we are about to go through, Alucard should regain awareness. Thats when you hit him a few good times from the portal. Step through, and Ridl will close it. Cutting him off. What do you think?"

-----> Deus Ex Machina II Air Ducts

Well, this figured.

How Alucard had gotten on the ship, Egon did not know. But here he was, in the same room as their target. There was no way they could hope to deal with him. However, there weren't any Millennium officers here. They might just have a chance. He then listened to Wenton's plan. In a normal situation, it might have worked. However, against a nosferatu of Alucards caliber, they were impossibly outclassed. Normally, he'd withdraw and wait for another opportunity. But he had seen what happened when you failed the Illuminati. He had no choice but to press on.

"Alucard would kill us before we could get five feet.", he stated."A little darkness won't hinder him in the least. There's only one scenario I can think of that will work.You jump down and grab the Major. I'll provide cover fire until you can get him away. Then I'll try to follow you." While he spoke, Egon pulled off his rifle case and assembled his proffered weapon. High caliber silver rounds might keep the vampire busy until Wenton could get away. However, it's size made running tricky. He had no choice but to hope it would work. Looking thru the grate, he took aim at the vampire's head and waited for Wenton to move.

OOC:going to be posting tommorow when i have full internet...silenced shoes? pffft....Alucard not being able to see in the dark? pffft...portals not even open...just thought I'd let all of you know how I'm not going to go out of character with Herr just so it's convenient for this dodgy plan, anyway posting tommorow

OOC-meh...I suppose I can work with this...if it's going to work u should shoot Alu's head and get the portal open after this post...IC he'll take time reforming and by then u should be gone but try to come up with something to distract him or something...because even with these said 'silenced shoes' with or without a human body weight hitting the metal floor is going to make a sound...hmmm...now theres a thought...why not not hit the floor at all? why not get the portal on the floor? sense of vertigo but w/e
----------------------------------------------------
The major had been busy...waiting for Schrodinger to either return or to get a transmission link going through so he could talk to Integra. Spinning on his chair as if he had never done something harmless in his life...sort of like a school girl now that he thought about it. His grin went from ear to ear as he heard the all to familiar voice from behind him. Effectively stopping his spinning indefinitely. Ahhh...my dear Alucard...I vondered how long it vould halfve' taken for you to get here...I vondered to myself whether you were going to come at all...I asked myself all zhese different thoughts...thoughts that you had left me to mein own musings...I'm sure you halfve' a good reason for keeping me vaiting. The Major turned in his chair, facing straight at the nosferatu. You ask me whether or not I still take pleasure und seeing mein soldiers ripped apart and ended? Well I vould ask you ze same question dear Alucard...has mein tactics given ze frualein und yourself a pleasure in seeing your own forces butchered like the dogs zhey are? Herr Major spun on his chair to face the display yet again, his arm gesturing to the widescreen itself. The screen displayed the bodies, the blood...the wild geese mercenaries and most importantly the remains facing the captain. Do you yourself take pleasure now? Tail between my legs? how absurd...this crusade seems to be just beginnink! The major's cackle echoed throughout the war room.
---------------------------
OOC:ugh...cut short...not my computer...lolz...have fun

---> Hallways (Jays route)

A metal door bursted open and crashed onto the floor of the command room, valiantly Jay walked in and saw Alucard there first his eyes twitched, he was about to no doubt say a badass line but Alucard was there first OH COME ON WE KILLED A BUNCH OF NAZIS TO GET HERE AND PISS OF THE MAJOR YOU ASS for obvious reasons he did not say either of these things out loud. He noticed at Alucard and Major must had just been passing banter back and forward, he also noticed Majors arm pointing to a screen so he took a quick glance, when he saw the screen his eyes widened with shock, it was Hans fighting the reaming Geese and Hellsing members.

He had rapid flash backs of his the werewolf that killed his family, he remembered the blood, the face of the monster everything and now it was almost like it was happening again, he stopped himself from running back through the hallways or rather Levis did FOOL DON'T GO MAJOR IS HERE WE CAN END THIS NOW he could hardly hear Levis voice. He kept hearing kill, he looked over at Major his crimsion eyes now glow as his body seemed to black out YOU BASTARD without thinking he charged at Major.

"Halte, schweinhund!"

Splinters of brilliant light flashed through the glare of the fluorescent lamps, streaking across the floor between Jay and the staircase leading up to the Major's throne. Sparks and tiny shards of the floor panels flew in all directions as blades tore at them, metal screaming against metal as a long, bladed cord shot out and then snapped viciously back, the spike on the end curving to slice savagely at the Hellsing agent's ankles. The bulky vampire caught the whip in his gauntleted left hand as it recoiled, wrist twisting and rotating expertly to bleed its killing velocity away and leave the razor-sharp weapon wound loosely around his fingers, the spike swinging free below his open hand.

Vargus stood at the base of the stairs; his uniform cap, blown off his head by the speed of his movement, whispered softly to the floor halfway between him and the side-door by which he had entered. The stark black swastika tattooed on his forehead stood out boldly against the clear whiteness of his skin and the gleaming ivory of his fangs, bared in a lazy, predatory smile. By the standards of most people it was criminally foolish to stand here, he knew that; he'd read the reports, seen the blurry video-recordings and heard the panicked screams. He knew that the vampire whose way he blocked was faster, stronger, in every way more physically powerful than he, Scharfuhrer Vargus Hertzemann of the Last Battalion, was. There could be little by way of comparison between them. He had an edge in experience, that was all. He was probably going to be killed, but he would stand here regardless. He had to. It was his duty to protect the Major from attack; he had no hope of doing anything to the red-clad terror that already stood above him, but he could perhaps stop this one, or at least slow him down long enough for his squad to arrive.

And no matter what happened, it was certain to be delightful. Vargus's grin widened, lips peeling back from shark-like teeth, ice-blue pupils dilating as adrenaline rushed through his system. His boots scraped against the floor as he shifted his weight; his hands lifted, flicking his whip free and slashing it ahead of him, so fast as to be nearly invisible. The tip cracked like a gunshot as it broke the sound barrier, the dozens of blades interwoven in the cord making the weapon gleam like a line of trapped sunlight as it arched through the air.

"You vant to dance, English hurensohn? Come on, zen; I'll carve you to ribbons und vash my boots in your blood!"

OOC-taking the initiative here, not wasting time waiting for people that aren't going to post as I've done too many times in the past. On a side note, yay progress
--------------------------------------------------------------------
The major eyed his soldiers typing frantically into the computer screens and constantly breaking eye contact from the screen to look toard the encounter. Every now and then, one of them would break and get shot down by his comrades followed by a disgusted grumble among the soldiers, Covard...dunkoff... When the hellsing dog with the blades charged however, even the ones that were most disgusted by the previous acts of cowardness broke, the rest looked about ready to throw themselves in between the major and the vampire. There was an awed silence however when an advanced freak was a blur and put himself inbetween the fuhrer and the sudden intruder. The ones that had begun to run stopped a moment and rose a cheer as their morale solidified. Cowvards, I vill teach you your place momentarily... The nosferatu's silence only broadened the sturmbannfuhrer's grin, his mind whipped with thoughts. He had finally broken Hellsing's weapon? Had he finally twisted their thoughts for eradication, justification and secrecy into something morbid? Ahh, sergeant...very nice of you to come to my aid, I vwas just about to deal vith zhem myself, I should hafve shot zhem as soon as zhey entered but I was vaiting for a man vith calibre such as yours. The major continued to ramble on crap for some time but after awhile reached for the speaker system to the ship. People of mein ship I am qvuite sure Hans has zhe hangar bay under control for ze time beingk, in the meantime...ve hafe a small problem of a breach to the command room, ze 'ellsing dogs seem fit to make you all look like petty gerbils with your corpses strewn throughout the ship vhich of no doubt zhose of you hiding are, I am a forgiving man however, drive these dogs from my command room unt you shall be revarded The speaker heard static and cut, the major obviously kept the simple fact that Alucard was within here no thanks to the fact that he woudn't expect his soldiers to even attempt to stand up to Alucard after all their experience with him. Faced with the decision at face value however, he was sure they would choose wisely. The major's cackle was short as the two engaged infront of him.

OOC-it's been awhile, my posts'll be up to standard soon
