Summary
After decapitating Alucard's head, Alexander Anderson goes on after Seras Victoria. He almost had Victoria if not for Sir Integra's appearance, shattering off Anderson's bayonets with her pistols. Grabbing his intention, Sir Integra quickly guards herself off from Anderson who charges at her; killing off her bodyguards in the process. Victoria stands up and threatens Anderson to let Integra go. Yet, Integra somehow remains calm within this intense situation.

Synopsis
Soon after a hysterical laughter, Anderson beheads Alucard and grabs it; mocking the vampire in the process as he giggles in the face of the true vampire. Turning around to see a blood trail, he is surprised to see that Victoria still could move, and proceeds to go after her- slowly, taking his time to enjoy the process of elimination. Latching onto a wall, tired and breathless; Victoria pulls out the last remaining bayonet stuck onto her back covered in blood, only to see Alucard's head flew by her and a bayonet stuck onto his head; attaching it to the wall, which was done by Anderson.

Completely caught off guard, Victoria screams his name as Anderson belittles her for trying to run. Quickly, Victoria picks up Alucard's head and carries it, trying her best to escape from the hopeless situation. Seeing a door, she tries to escape yet a barrier prevents her from doing so. In the sight of this, Anderson pokes fun of her again for trying to do so. Trying to accept her fate, she was interrupted by Alucard speaking to her telepathically. Shocked, she then witness Alucard's head melts in her hand and then sees that it's writing a message. "Drink my blood, Police Girl."

At the sight of this, Victoria is stuck on a place of confusion as she is still trying to latch onto the last bit of humanity she has left. However, as she is stunned and left speechless over the message Alucard wrote, Anderson catches up to her and swings his bayonet. Only for it to be shot and shattered by Sir Integra, who states that the area is supposed to be under Hellsing's jurisdiction, ordering him to withdraw at once. Angered by this, Anderson laughs it off and calls her "Babylon." Suddenly, he prepares his bayonets and charges at her; swiftly killing both of her bodyguards all at once as Sir Integra quickly pulls out her saber to protect herself.

As she struggles to defend herself, Sir Integra recognizes Anderson's nature. In response, Anderson calls Hellsing a "joke," while also telling Integra over the fall of her Trump Card, Alucard who had been decapitated earlier. Unimpressed, Sir Integra responds with "that's all?", which baffles Anderson. Victoria stands up and grabs her weapon, telling Anderson to get his hands off Sir Integra.

Anderson giggles as Sir Integra tells Anderson that there's no way for him to win, in response, Anderson tells Integra that he will do so after he finish her off, in which Sir Integra responds back by telling him to do it quickly before it's too late. Alucard's body then transforms into bats, and one of them goes to Victoria in which Alucard calls her a simpleton for not drinking his blood. After then, the rest of the bats would go after and distract Anderson as Sir Integra tells him that Alucard wouldn't just die from being decapitated, as he is not like the rest of the vampires he's faced over the years; while proudly stating that the Hellsing family had built up Alucard into the Ultimate Undead, after which Alucard proceeds to reform himself in front of Anderson who was bewildered. At the sight of her master's reappearance, Victoria lightens up while Anderson admits defeat as there's no way for him to defeat Alucard at the current situation he's in with his gears.

Pulling out a bible, Anderson begins to retreat by teleporting; in the middle of the process, he says his goodbyes while stating that the next time they meet, he'll kill them. Sir Integra goes to Alucard to ask what he's feeling, to which Alucard states that it has been a while since he had his head plucked off. Due to the nature of the attack in which a border skirmish in violation of a treaty, an attack against agency members with causalities, Sir Integra states that it'll end up a big demerit for the Vatican. However, she then later says that there's no time to fight with them as the investigation of the recent vampire attacks takes priority.

Hearing Alucard call her "Police Girl," Victoria stands up and states that she has a name, and it's not "Police Girl," to which Alucard orders her to pipe down while telling her that "Police Girl" is good enough for a name. All of the three then proceeds to head back over to the Hellsing Manor as a meeting between the Round Table and Sir Integra over the discussions of the newly found chip in one of vampire's brain is about to take place soon.
