Flashback
10 years ago, 1989. Sir Arthur Hellsing's disease is at it's worse and all of those dear to him is present at his final moments. Wanting to teach Integra, his daughter, a final lesson as she cries in tears knowing that this is the last time she'll see her beloved father, Integra listens very well. Much to the shock of those present at his death bed, Arthur states that once he's dead, Integra will be the new head of the family; in charge of leading the Hellsing Organisation and that England and The Protestant Church will be hers to protect against outside forces.

Integra understands, and Arthur then states that he had so many things to teach her; wanting to keep watching over her and taking pride, apologizing to his beloved daughter. Pulling his right arm to the right slowly while struggling, Arthur begs his little brother, Richard Hellsing, to give Integra's support as his final wish, which Richard then states that he understood and will keep his promise, watching over Arthur's daughter.

But then suddenly, three days later, Richard Hellsing, surrounded by his bodyguards goes on a hunt for Arthur's daughter. Seemingly so desperate and maddened, Richard asks his bodyguards if he's found her yet, which his bodyguards says that they haven't found her yet, to which, Richard shouts at his bodyguards; telling them to flush her out and get to it. Deeply angered by his brothers decision to appoint his daughter as the headmaster of the Hellsing Organisation instead of him, Richard states that he's waited twenty years for his brothers demise, and states that he won't ever let a brat like Integra take the family headship from him. Sweating, Richard pulls out his pistol and pulls the slide while ordering his bodyguards to kill her on sight.

Unbeknownst to them, Integra was secretly eavesdropping them from the vents above, saying that it hasn't even been a week since her father had died and states that Richard is nothing more than a bloody rotten scumbag. Integra then remembers what Arthur said to her incase there's no hope left; Arthur states that if she ever finds herself in a real crisis, if some unbeatable enemy has her in a right mess; orders her to go underground to the forgotten dungeon, there lies one of the fruits of the Hellsing Family's labors. Desperate, Integra decides to go there.

Growing even more desperate and sweating all over, Richard states that if they don't hurry, then the other staff will start catching wind. Thinking about all the floors they've checked, Richard then remembers about the underground, and how it hasn't been used in ages, which one of his bodyguard explains that it hasn't been used since over twenty years ago- his family's last generation. Remembering about the forgotten dungeon, Richard pinpoints exactly where Integra is, then tells his men to go there. Reaching the dungeon, Integra opens the door and is now beginning to feel hopeless; entering the dungeon and sitting behind a wall, but then notices next to her; lies a corpse strapped all over his body, making him unable to move. Sweating and getting more and more hopeless, Integra then wonders if this is the supposed man to protect her, then says that if this is a joke; then it's a bad one. Knowing that this is likely her final day and she isn't able to run anywhere else, Integra walks to the corpse then asks if she can share his cell with her.

As the light flickers, Integra sits next to the rotten corpse and thought that there would be a "knight in a shining armor" there to protect her, instead she got a corpse; wondering what her father thought about leaving a corpse down there for over twenty years. Beginning to cry, Integra states that she doesn't want to die. Outside, Richard is nearing the dungeon; walking towards it and then once near, has his bodyguard slam over the door with his shotgun. Spotting her, Richard states that she's been quite a bother for him, which Integra in return asks if he really lust after the family headship that badly that she's willing to kill his brother's daughter.

In response, Richard punches her and tells her to shut up, stating that he won't give Hellsing up to a kid like her, then his bodyguards finds the corpse next to Integra. Richard then points his gun at Integra, shooting her and hitting her shoulder; blood then splatters to the floor and to the corpse's face. Still pointing his gun at Integra, Richard states that the next shot will hit her ears, and that's for wasting his time. As he readies to take the shot however, he hears something licking the ground. All of those present decides to take a look behind, only to see the corpse moving and licking Integra's blood splattered across the floor, shocking everybody. The corpse then takes a look at the man and breaks free of his straps, standing still with a smile on his face. Wondering how the corpse comes back to life, Richard's men wants to hear an explanation from Richard, which Richard too doesn't know about this as his brother never said a word about this.

He then orders his men to shoot the corpse, but then suddenly in a blink of an eye; the corpse swiftly slices one of Richard's men's head in half, and grabs onto it; pointing upwards and throwing tongue out as a rain of blood drops from the man's head. Throwing the head to the floor, the corpse would then scream as Richard's men desperately goes for their guns, to which, the corpse then kills them all with ease in mere seconds; slicing one of them, decapitating and dismembering them. Switching his target from Integra to the corpse, Richard then shoots him multiple times; only for all of the bullets to be caught midair and then dropped to the floor by the corpse, who stated that he's nothing more than a lowlife. Slowly, the corpse reaches for Richard's hand that was holding his gun and then slices it off.

The corpse then turns backwards and stares at Integra, and proceeds to walk towards her. Once standing above her, the corpse unsuspectedly bows down to her, asking if she had sustained any injuries. Stunned and bewildered, Integra is left speechless, which the corpse then asks her for orders. Within her mind, Integra is shocked that a vampire, one of Hellsing's greatest enemy is also one of Hellsing's greatest ally, then is left wondering what kind of research his father and others were doing. A right armless Richard goes for his pistol and grabs it with his left hand, then struggles to stand up before pointing his gun at Integra; stating that Hellsing is his then pulls the trigger, only for the bullet to be once again stopped by the corpse midair. Turning his head around to Richard, the corpse says that his blood stinks and it reeks to high heaven, and proclaims that he's unfit to become the Hellsing Family's head.

In response, Integra grabs a pistol on the floor and uses the corpse's arm in front of her as to steady her aim, but before shooting the scared Richard; she asks him for his name. Smiling, the corpse says that his name is Alucard. After hearing his answers, Integra pulls the trigger and ends up killing Richard Hellsing.

Present
Present day, London. As Seras trains with Alucard, he sees her missing each shot; shooting normally like a human would do, to which, Alucard orders her to not shoot like a human, and to forget all the habits she had learned previously as such. Instead, Alucard tells her to shoot like she has another eye on her forehead. A third eye. In order to provide an example, Alucard then points his Casull towards the dummy, far, far away. Seemingly seeing nothing, Seras complains yet Alucard states that he sees it. Then he proceeds to fire multiple rounds, precisely hitting the torso of the target in which shocked Seras.

Near them, Sir Integra reads a news paper. Reminiscing about the time they had met, and how it has been ten years since then, Alucard comments abut how it's such a rarity to witness Integra losing herself within her memories. Only after he was reminded about the time they had first met, Alucard pokes fun of that, implying that she was getting old. In a fit of rage, Integra shouts at them only for Alucard again to make fun of her, when she asked him if she looks like Margaret Thatcher.
