Summary
The Major continues to conduct his cacophony of destruction as helicopters target him. He however, was saved by a familiar face. The forces of the Vatican move on from killing only vampires to slaughtering also civilians, despite Anderson's protests and anger, and also much to Integra's.

Once, a vampire came to England to get a woman he personally desired. The vampire sailed aboard a schooner. The schooner dashed from wave to wave through the fog at unbelievable speed. The entire crew was killed, and so, the ghost ship, fully laden with corpses and caskets made port in London. Her name is the Demeter. In Russian, the Demitri.

Betrayal
As the Major plays the battlefield music, using the sound of fire, missiles, gun shots, ect. as instruments; with the Doctor stating that he's directing it; they are only instruments, howling, crawling instruments thrown into the timbre. Continuing, a helicopter then suddenly rises under the zeppelin, targeting the Major; they spotted them, but wonders what he's doing- calling him a lunatic, a "twisted relic of war" and that he will die. The Doctor worries about the Major and screams his name, but then suddenly, the helicopter gets cut into pieces. Realizing who it is shortly after, the trio hears footsteps coming from two people. As they turn their back to see who it was, the Major says "well done." It was Walter, he did this, he saved the Major's life. With the Captain standing right beside him, both Schrödinger and the Doctor smiles, with the Major stating that he had decided half a century ago; the death's head is a fitting match for the Angel of Death as he manically laughs in excitement.

Maxwell's Double-Cross
Back at the battlefield, the ninth crusade started firing on both vampires and now, citizens alike- much to the citizen of London's surprise, confusion and horror. Multiple of citizens were faced by a barrage and storm of bullets by the knights of the Vatican, who betrayed them, betrayed The Convention of Twelve, England, the Queen, and even their own president. Citizens of London realizes that, and sits in hopelessness- they had given up. Drunken with power, with the burning hatred of protestants inside of him- maybe giving him the role of archbishop really wasn't a good idea at all. Enrico Maxwell continues his rambling like a child, shouting "die" multiple times directed to the citizens of London as they feast their eyes on the Vatican's power; telling them to know about this. As he laughs manically, saying "look at those miserable people," Maxwell states that the only good protestant, is a dead protestant as the Armed Priest Corps and Integra watches on the streets of London.

Biting her lips, filled with grudge and anger towards Maxwell, Sir Integra Fairbrook Wingates Hellsing screams out Maxwell's name; stating that he had double-crossed her, and the Round Table. Anderson however, says that she's stupid; attack's and treachery happen in war. He continues by saying that in fact, one would be praised for it- especially when it's against heathens. But then suddenly, Anderson states that this one is an exception, Anderson does not like it. "Maxwell, you're drunk; piss-faced drunk on power, authority and influence" Anderson says.

With anger on his face, Anderson states that Iscariot is suppose to be just an apparatus of violence. He is only a man-killing meat clever, it's his only power to serve god. Anderson then says that Maxwell has quit serving god, he's only serving his power. Heinkel interrupts Anderson's speech, gaining order from Maxwell to capture Integra, says to stop escorting Integra as it's an order from archbishop Maxwell. All of the armed priest corps then soon points their gun on Integra's head, she however, remains calm and awaits for somebody. Anderson says that he does not like it and still insists on escorting her back to her manor, but Heinkel however, says that it's not a question whether he likes it or not, to which, Anderson still says that he does not like it.

Seras Victoria, the True Vampire
Then suddenly, up from the sky, Anderson sees a zig-zag red line coming through; and within just a blink of an eye, all of those who surrounded Integra with their pistol on her head gets flung and pushed through by a shadow matter. It was Seras Victoria, who proceeds to guard Integra, much to the shock of the armed priest corps who shouted her name. Seras then asks if her master is unharmed, to which, Integra says that she's well. Integra asks the current condition of the manor, to which, Seras says that they came under attack by an enemy company; they beat them, however, headquarters is wiped out, along with Bernadotte. Integra, smoking her cigar still, says that she understand; then tells Seras that she became what she is- a true vampire- by sucking on Bernadotte's blood. Seras then smiles, and nods; saying "yes sir."

Heinkel then prepares her gun to shoot Seras, however, Anderson tells her to not bother doing so- as all of them put together won't be enough to take down Seras Victoria. Anderson proceeds to talk with Seras, calling her now "vampire Seras Victoria," with smile on his face, he says that Seras has made herself into something dreadful, to which, Seras says that he's right, now she dreads onto nothing. Anderson says that her eyes look just like the depths of hell; saying "shame on you, still taking on a human form." Seras doesn't respond, but grins. Then suddenly, both turns their head around, and notices something; feeling that something is coming towards them. Seras says that he is coming back, Integra smiles, and Anderson shouts "the Black Peril comes," saying that it is fantastic- it all comes down to nothing.

Dracula, Reborn
Maxwell, in the peak of his insanity, dissatisfaction and anger; asks about the armed priests whereabouts, what is Anderson doing and what is the gunships doing. He orders them to continue attacking the airship, and asks how long must it take to bring down that huge "thing," then orders them to again, use full force, full scale attack. He then receives a message from the crew below, who tells Maxwell that they're in the process of landing and forming up troops- they cannot yet attack with full force, to which, Maxwell shouted "shut up," and if they're really faithful, they should do it now and then asks again about Anderson's whereabouts, asking if Integra had been captured. Then to which, much to Maxwell's dismay, he received a report from the Aircraft Carrier Surveillance Craft Above Doer, that tells him that they've lost sight of it.

Maxwell then says that it's ridiculous that they could've lost something enormous like that, and after getting a report that the entire area of ocean surface was suddenly covered in mist; the mist became a morning fog and completely concealed dover, Maxwell asks that if they meant that it had vanished like phantom. In a moment of desperation, Maxwell instantly orders them to find the ships whereabouts, and that is not simply a wreckage of some ship carrier- that is Alucard, Alucard is onboard.

He then suddenly sees the Ferris wheel near the riverbank of Thames moving, and notices that something is moving upstream on the Thames; soon realizes that it's a ghost ship as he sweats all over. "Once, a vampire came to England to get a woman he personally desired. The vampire sailed aboard a schooner. The schooner dashed from wave to wave through the fog at unbelievable speed. The entire crew was killed, and so, the ghost ship, fully laden with corpses and caskets made port in London. Her name is the Demeter. In Russian, the Demitri." Alucard, standing still in the center of HMS Eagle puts both of his arms over his eyes as he smiles. Then slowly opens it, revealing a face displaying the twisted pleasure of a man about to slaughter his enemies. He then proceeds to dual wield the Jackal and the Casull.
