Plot Synopsis
Hellsing=

Hellsing
Ten years ago, young Integra Hellsing ascended to the head of the Hellsing Organization after the death of her father Arthur. Her jealous uncle, Richard Hellsing, attempted to kill her, but awakened a dormant Alucard in the process, who proceeded to kill Richard's men. It is Integra who shoots and kills her uncle, thereby becoming the last descendant of the Hellsing bloodline. Alucard declared his allegiance to Integra and became her loyal servant.

In present day England, Alucard is called to duty to eradicate a vampire and his ghouls. However, a female police officer named Seras Victoria is gravely injured in the process, and upon her saying she's a virgin, Alucard turns her into his vampire servant. Alucard then teaches her how to fight like a proper vampire by letting her take out Jessica after Alucard had already killed Leif. Later, on a mission to hunt down a vampire in the town of Badrick in Nothern Ireland, Alucard meets and fights Father Alexander Anderson for the first time.

Crossfire
The relief center in the Palestine refugee of the Vatican was raided by a group of Islamic extremists named "Avlah Aqvalah" who demanded $10 Million in-exchange for the hostages taken by the group of terrorists. In response, the Pope counts on Iscariot to deal with the extremists; in which, the commander of Iscariot, Enrico Maxwell, orders one of his elite agent, Heinkel Wolfe to go on a mission there. Back at the refugee camp on Palestine, Aphram, the leader of Avlah Aqvalah almost ends up killing one of the nuns there; if not for Heinkel to come in a clutch.

Thinking that it's the man the Vatican had sent to give the money, he demands it but however; Heinkel ignores and focuses on the nun named "Yumiko", and asked her to let "Yumie" out. Refusing and with no choice left, Heinkel punches Yumie in the jaw straight up, and shooting started. However, Yumiko waked up an entirely different person; the nun went from innocent, to a cold blooded murderer and later, she and Heinkel slaughters the extremists and saved the hostages.

Trivia

 * Alucard's gun, the Casull's inscription is normally "HELLSING ARMS WEAPON Hellsing 454 Casull INDUSTRIAL CO.LTD."; however, the cover of the first volume features Alucard and the Casull; but its inscription instead reads out "Hellsing 30mm clockwork giant PANDAS".
