Summary
Back at the battleground, Heinkel is left bamboozled as to wonder why The Captain would spare here; then tends her wound shortly after holding a massive grudge at Hellsing Family's former butler, Walter C. Dornez as he commands Alucard to stand up and fight.

However, as he needs order from Sir Integra to do so; Alucard goes on to bow and begs for an order. As Integra sweats, not knowing what to do while the whole remnants of the Werewolves watches in excitement as they expects her to say it, Walter too do so. Then after much pressure put on her weight, Integra goes on to order her slave, the Vampire Alucard to brutally murder any obstacle that gets in their way. Standing up, Alucard begins to fight Walter as Integra gains The Major's respect for having the courage to say it.

At last, the Deus Ex Machina makes a forced landing to the streets of London and opens the gates for Sir Integra and Seras Victoria to come in, with Warrant Officer Schrödinger greeting the ladies to the zeppelin.

Synopsis
Alucard still stuck in the funk of the whole situation remains on the ground, pitying and being pitied; touching the remains of Alexander Anderson, while the so-called Angel of Death tells him to stand up and fight him multiple times, he however does not budge. Elsewhere, after being shot by The Captain's elongated Mauser C96 through the jaw, as she is left battered and injured on the ground; The Captain stands over her, puts his gun down and shakes his head multiple times to tell her to stay out of the fight between the "rivals." Understanding what The Captain had said, shortly after that, the Captain tosses her his first-aid kit to bandage her wounds and then leaps onto the Deus Ex Machina, leaving the woman he took pity in.

In response to that, Heinkel quickly got offended about the fact that the enemy took pity in her, and shortly thereafter asks if she's just a straggler or something and does he even consider her an enemy at all. As the Corpo dei Preti Armati comes over to Heinkel's rescue, Heinkel tells them to ignore her condition and focus on Yumie, to which, one of the members stated that Yumie's gone and her corpse is pretty bad. Then looking over, Heinkel sees Yumie's dismembered corpse and begins to get saddened and then punches the ground in anger as she had just lost two friend since childhood, and her mentor. With her voice cord going all over the place, she gets particularly enraged at Walter for killing Yumie and stepping on Anderson's remains, and now wanting to take revenge for them, Yumie tells one of the Armed Priest to give her the gun he's wielding. While the priests warns her to not do so, she ignores him and tells them to not interfere with her vengeance. As she grabs the Dragunov away from one of the Armed Priest corps as she wraps her head around with the first aid kit, she states that she will kill Walter.

Now, as Walter continues to command Alucard to stand up; he just won't budge and instead turns over to his master, Sir Integra. However before begging for an order from her, Alucard states that he and Walter are now dogs, hounds; dogs bark not for themselves. Then shortly after, screams and begs for an order from her master. Then, he manically smiles as Integra gets more and more stressed; manically smiling, Alucard states that he can kill; he can massacre without a bit of hesitation, an ounce of regret... because he's a monster. Now regarding her, he says; "I wield the gun. I will also determine its aim. I will put the ammo in the magazine, pull the slide, and even undo the safety. But... what will kill is your intent," Alucard states- which symbolizes his and Integra's servant-and-master relationship and then shortly after, again begs for an order from Hellsing Director, Integra Fairbrook Wingates Hellsing.

Clutching her fist as she begins to sweats all over, the remnants of the Werewolves back at the Deus Ex Machina watches in excitement as they plead for her to say it, order Alucard to kill Walter; with the Major calling her "Fräulein", and at the battleground, Walter stares at Integra and tells her to say it, issue the order; "Say the word. Say them, my lady." Gone quiet, as she smokes her cigar, she then snaps it in half as she screams "search and destroy," with her body being shrouded in darkness she screams "search and destroy" to her servant, and after all these time; orders have not changed since Rio: Search and Destroy. "Any forces which opposes us is to be crushed underfoot," Integra screams at Alucard as she states that all obstacles are to be reduced to dust and ash, and for the last time- she orders "Search and Destroy." Now manically smiling and with much excitement, The Major says that at last, she says it. Then she continues her sentence, telling Alucard that she's given his her orders- any forces which opposes us is to be crushed, crushed underfoot.

No matter who or what they are, and no matter what they may be, all obstacles are to be squashed in the face of his advance. Then her voice grows weaker and weaker... and then the panel shows that in reality; she's broken to say this, she's sad to order Alucard to kill someone that took care of her when she was just a teenager, she cries as Walter, in joy says that it's magnificent. How she orders Alucard to kill him is magnificent.

Then Walter states that she were truly, a master worthy of his service. Alucard, with his palm on the floor; clutches his fist and stands up holding his left arm as he gets ready to murder his former friend. "Yes... My Master," Alucard says as he begins to manically smile. Then, Integra again sweats; she states that she won't ask what happened or why, and that Walter has become her enemy- Hellsing's enemy; Britains enemy. Then she tells Walter that there's no going back, and he must be defeated; he must be destroyed.

Near them all, the Deus Ex Machina is above them and with the speaker; The Major states that Integra's order were very well spoken, and announces that she's finally became his enemy; his precious, fantastic arch-enemy of a powerful force which must be defeated. Then, he apologizes if he's called her an amateur- he'll never say it again. The Deus Ex Machina then makes a forced landing on the streets of London and stops near in front of a building, opening the hatch once it's safe which allows her to come inside the blimp; telling her to come at him, and he'll call her bet. Then in the entrance of the Machina, Schrödinger is there to greet and welcome Integra inside the Machina, uttering the words "Das Dritte Reich! Seien Sie Herzlich will Kommen!" Slowly, she walks towards the blimp as Alucard tells her to go on and kill the Major- put an end to this massacre, which Integra responds by saying that she will do that. As Seras calls out to her master, Alucard tells her to go with Integra instead; "''A master needs a retinue." ''Alucard then tells them both to go and put an end to that man's 50 year long dream, and morning has now come and he'll put an end to my long dream with this man.

Seras, still not sure why Walter would turn on them, would thank him for his help and bid him farewell. Walter would take a breath, smile and return the gesture kindly. He would then bid Integra farewell, and she would return the same, further commanding him to die. With her face shrouded in darkness, hiding her anger to fake a calm composure, she slowly walks to the entrance of the blimp and quickly after being greeted by Schrödinger who welcomes them; pulls her pistol and splatters his brains. Integra then states that they're all jokers, and she calls to finish this.

Trivia

 * The term "Fräulein" is a phrase used most commonly with young, unmarried women. It is generally considered disrespectful and sexist in the modern age as it is considered a diminutive, with the term "Frau" generally being more acceptable. It is likely that The Major no longer calling her "Fräulein" may be in reference to this, as he is no longer considering her a "Young Lady", but as a true equal to himself.
